~14 min read 2,629 words

"Boom—"

With neither side willing to yield, the battle on the Heavenly Court battlefield erupted once again.

This time, both sides poured out their full strength, with all manner of Supernatural Powers and techniques emerging one after another, causing the heavens to crumble, the earth to crack, and the sun and moon to lose their light.

With the addition of Lu Yun and his twelve avatars, the morale of the Wu Clan was greatly boosted; they were already incomparably valiant, and at this moment, it was as if they had been injected with adrenaline, charging madly toward the Demon Race.

Although the Demon Race faced unprecedented pressure, under the leadership of Di Jun and Taiyi, they maintained a tight formation, relying on the might of the Zhou Tian Star Formation and the Hunyuan Heluo Array to engage the Wu Clan in a life-and-death struggle.

These two great arrays were indeed infinitely powerful, especially when they coordinated with each other, capable of unleashing power that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

For a time, both the Wu Clan and the Demon Race fell into a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

Although Lu Yun and his avatars were powerful, they also faced immense pressure at this moment.

After all, they were not only dealing with the Demon Race but also the two terrifying great arrays set up by the Demon Race! These two arrays were like two massive millstones, constantly grinding away at their strength and will.

Inside Shouyang City.

Lu Yun's true self was enjoying the warm hospitality of the Human Race.

All kinds of delicacies meticulously prepared by the Human Race were served before him one after another.

After ten years of development, the methods for preparing delicacies that Lu Yun had passed down long ago had spread throughout the entire Great Desolation, and even the food made by the humans here at the Human Ancestral Land was extremely delicious.

Of course, part of the reason for this was that Duobao and other disciples of the Jie Sect were obsessed with human delicacies and had been consciously developing them.

Lu Yun felt very satisfied while eating.

While enjoying the hospitality of the Human Race, his consciousness naturally kept watch on the condition of Houtu within the Qiankun World.

He discovered that Houtu was still comprehending the Earthly Dao, and he did not know when she would finish her insights.

However, Lu Yun was not anxious; with his twelve avatars supporting the Wu Clan, he figured the battle at the Heavenly Court should not worsen.

Therefore, he withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to the battle at the Heavenly Court.

"Just the right opportunity to test the strength of the Demon Race!"

Lu Yun said to himself, then he suddenly raised his head to look at Di Jun and Taiyi.

"To break these two great arrays, I must first defeat Di Jun and Taiyi, the key figures presiding over them!"

Lu Yun made his decision in an instant.

Consequently, his Literature Dao avatar moved, transforming into a streak of light as he charged toward Di Jun and Taiyi.

At the same time, the other eleven avatars also unleashed their Supernatural Powers, launching a siege on Di Jun and Taiyi from all directions.

Seeing this, the expressions of Di Jun and Taiyi shifted slightly.

They had not expected Lu Yun to choose to launch an attack on them so decisively.

However, as the leaders of the Demon Race, they were naturally no pushovers.

Di Jun sneered, waving the River Chart and Luo Book in his hand, and a brilliant starlight descended from the sky, slashing fiercely toward the Literature Dao avatar, Lu Wen, who was attacking him from the side.

Taiyi flashed his figure, dodging the siege of several avatars, while simultaneously striking his Chaos Bell.

"Clang—"

Following the deafening bell toll, a terrifying sound wave rippled out instantly, shattering the surrounding space into pieces.

Lu Yun's several avatars bore the brunt of it, their internal energy roiling from the sound wave, and their figures were sent flying backward involuntarily.

"As expected of Di Jun and Taiyi!"

Lu Yun sighed inwardly, realizing that defeating Di Jun and Taiyi would not be easy.

These two fellows were not only powerful but also coordinated perfectly; one excelled in offense while the other excelled in defense—they were simply an invincible combination!

It was no wonder that even though their Ten Great Demon Sages included few Quasi-Saints and their top-tier combat strength was clearly inferior to the twelve Ancestral Witches, they had still fought the Wu Clan for so many years.

However, Lu Yun would naturally not give up the attack just like that.

His avatars charged toward Di Jun and Taiyi once more, launching another attack.

This time, the one charging at the front was the Martial Dao avatar, Lu Wu; he swung his sword, and a sharp, peerless sword light instantly tore through the sky, stabbing toward Di Jun's chest.

Although this strike was easily blocked by Di Jun, Lu Yun's numerous avatars took turns, each displaying their Supernatural Powers, launching a storm-like attack on Di Jun and Taiyi.

The Thunder avatar, Lu Leiting, channeled the power of terrifying thunder; every rumble of thunder seemed capable of destroying everything, forcing Taiyi to respond with all his might.

The Yin-Yang avatar, Lu Taiji, used his hands to channel the Yin-Yang Force, coordinating like Taiji fish; the Yin-Yang Force intertwined, forming mysterious Yin-Yang diagrams in an attempt to disrupt the balance of Di Jun and Taiyi.

The Five Elements avatar controlled the power of the five elements, with metal, wood, water, fire, and earth powers taking turns; every attack carried destructive force, leaving Di Jun and Taiyi exhausted.

The Star avatar channeled the power of the stars of the heavens; every attack seemed as if countless stars were falling, with astonishing momentum.

The Array Dao avatar set up layer upon layer of arrays, attempting to trap Di Jun and Taiyi.

The attack methods of these avatars were all different, but every attack made Di Jun and Taiyi feel unprecedented pressure.

Although they neutralized the attacks time and again, they were thrown into a state of chaos, with no time to attend to the operation of the Zhou Tian Star Formation and the Hunyuan Heluo Array.

Seeing this scene, the Ten Great Demon Sages were extremely anxious; they wanted to step forward to help but were blocked firmly by the Ancestral Witches.

"Baize, think of something quickly!" the Demon Sage Ji Meng transmitted anxiously to Baize.

As the wise man of the Demon Race, Baize's brows were tightly locked; he looked around and suddenly his gaze fell upon Kunpeng.

"Kunpeng, go quickly and support Di Jun and Taiyi!" Baize commanded decisively.

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng moved to step forward, but at that moment, a refined figure blocked his path.

It was Lu Wen, who had previously launched the first attack and been knocked away by Di Jun; he had now used the power of the Literature Dao to simulate the Kunpeng Extreme Speed, arriving before Kunpeng.

"Kunpeng, where are you in such a hurry to go? Why not stay and chat with me for a while?" the Literature Dao avatar, Lu Wen, said with a smile, though his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Seeing Lu Wen, Kunpeng's expression sank instantly.

He knew well how formidable Lu Wen was, and the memory of suffering from a bet last time was still fresh in his mind; seeing Lu Wen blocking his path, a surge of anger rose in his heart.

"Lu Wen, stop trying to block me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Kunpeng said coldly, a powerful aura surging from his body.

However, Lu Wen only smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: "Kunpeng, you and I were master and servant for ten years after all, why must you be so angry? I just wanted to greet you. However, if you really want to fight, then I have no choice but to accompany you to the end."

As he spoke, a powerful Literature Qi surged from Lu Wen's body, forming a sharp contrast with Kunpeng's aura.

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense, as if a great battle could erupt at any moment.

The Ten Great Demon Sages were once again annoyed the moment they saw Kunpeng being intercepted. They wanted to pull away to support Di Jun and Taiyi, but they were met with the furious attacks of the Ancestral Witches; even relying on the Great Array, they were somewhat flustered for a time.

Meanwhile, the battles of others on the Heavenly Court battlefield had also entered a white-hot stage.

Both the Wu Clan and the Demon Race had become bloodthirsty, with all sorts of Supernatural Powers and techniques emerging one after another; every collision erupted with earth-shattering power.

Although Lu Yun's incarnations brought immense pressure to Di Jun and Taiyi, the Demon Race possessed a profound foundation after all, and with the aid of two great killing arrays, they still maintained powerful combat strength under the leadership of Di Jun and Taiyi.

Both sides fell into a stalemate, and neither could gain the upper hand.

However, as time passed, Lu Yun's incarnations gradually displayed their advantages.

They were not only powerful but also coordinated tacitly; more importantly, they seemed tireless, launching continuous attacks that left Di Jun and Taiyi with no chance to catch their breath.

If this continued, the Demon Race would sooner or later fall into a disadvantageous position! Di Jun and Taiyi were both clear on this point, but they were helpless.

At this moment, they were already firmly entangled by Lu Yun's incarnations, and it had become very difficult to even pull away and retreat.

Zixiao Palace, inside the main hall.

Hongjun watched this battle silently.

Previously, Lu Yun had not chosen to become a Saint through merit, but instead chose to condense these twelve incarnations with immense merit, which truly surprised him greatly.

Seeing Lu Yun let his twelve incarnations participate in this great battle between the Wu and Demon, he frowned even more deeply.

Fortunately, for now, Di Jun and the others were fighting with a desperate conviction, and the two sides were still evenly matched for the time being.

It was just that Lu Yun's true self had not yet made a move, and Houtu, whom Lu Yun had hidden away, had not yet appeared, which truly kept Hongjun feeling somewhat uneasy.

Hongjun always felt that things could not drag on like this.

He decided to add some strength to the Demon Race's side to see how Lu Yun would respond.

Thus, he suddenly spoke up and called out: "Haotian, Yaochi."

Hongjun's voice echoed, appearing majestic and profound.

Haotian and Yaochi, the two Attendants who had been standing guard at the entrance of the hall, immediately entered the main hall upon hearing this and responded respectfully.

"Master, what are your instructions?" Haotian asked with a bow, his voice carrying a trace of reverence.

Yaochi also wore a solemn expression, waiting quietly for Hongjun's instructions.

Hongjun's gaze was profound as he spoke slowly, his voice containing an irresistible will: "On the Heavenly Court battlefield, the Wu and Demon races are fighting fiercely. Although you two are Attendants under my seat, you should also go and gain some experience. Change your appearances and go help the Demon Race."

Haotian and Yaochi were startled upon hearing this.

Although they did not know why Hongjun had suddenly given such an order, they knew this was a test from Hongjun and an opportunity for them to display their strength.

"We obey your command!" Haotian and Yaochi replied in unison, a trace of determination and anticipation flashing in their eyes.

"Go!"

Hongjun waved his hand lightly, directly changing their appearances, making them look as if they had become two Great Monsters.

Immediately, the two figures disappeared from Zixiao Palace, turning into two streams of light and flying rapidly toward the direction of the Heavenly Court battlefield.

Kunlun Mountain, inside Taiqing Palace.

Yuanshi looked at the still-scorching Heavenly Court battlefield, especially watching the slaughter between Lu Yun's incarnations and Di Jun and Taiyi, and could not help but show a look of disdain.

"I thought Lu Yun's incarnations had some ability; it seems they are nothing more than this!"

A faint smile also appeared on the corner of Laozi's mouth.

What he worried about most was whether Lu Yun's incarnations had any special abilities that could threaten Saints like them.

But now it seemed that Lu Yun's incarnations could not even do anything to Di Jun and Taiyi, so he had nothing to worry about.

Although Di Jun and Taiyi relied on the Hunyuan Heluo Array and the Zhou Tian Star Formation, their strength far exceeded that of ordinary Quasi-Saints, but they had not reached the power of a Saint.

From this, it could be seen that Lu Yun still could not do anything to the three of them! Tongtian did not pay attention to his two brothers' discussion, but continued to observe the situation on the Heavenly Court battlefield.

Just at this moment—

Tongtian suddenly muttered: "Eh, who are those two?"

Laozi and Yuanshi could not help but look over curiously, and they saw that at this critical moment, two powerful auras suddenly descended from the sky, instantly breaking the balance of the Wu-Demon battlefield.

These two auras were naturally those emitted by Haotian and Yaochi. As Hongjun's Attendants, although they were usually low-key, their strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

However, they were now hidden by Hongjun, and even the three of them could not see through their true identities for a time.

Under their gaze, these two mysterious powerhouses joined the battlefield.

Haotian held a golden longsword, the flashing sword light seemingly able to pierce through everything.

His figure moved like lightning, instantly joining the battle and engaging in a fierce fight with the Wu Clan's side.

Yaochi was draped in a pink rosy garment; her figure was elusive, and every strike she made carried mysterious and unpredictable power.

She specifically chose powerhouses among the Wu Clan as her opponents, and every attack made the Wu Clan powerhouses feel terrified.

With Haotian and Yaochi joining the battle, the Wu Clan, who had just regained the situation, was suddenly suppressed once again.

Although they were extremely brave, under the joint attacks of the Demon Race and these two mysterious powerhouses, they began to show signs of collapse.

"Damn it, where did these two guys come from??"

Ancestral Witch Zhurong roared in fury, about to rush up to suppress Haotian and Yaochi.

But this time, it was the Ten Great Demon Sages' turn to activate the Great Array to intercept these Ancestral Witches, leaving them unable to provide support.

The morale of the Wu Clan plummeted, while the morale of the Demon Race soared.

Seeing that the suddenly appearing helpers were so powerful, a conviction of certain victory rose in their hearts.

Di Jun and Taiyi took the opportunity to launch fierce attacks, repelling Lu Yun's incarnations, attempting to crush the Wu Clan in one fell swoop.

Kunpeng, who was in a standoff with Lu Wen, could not help but laugh when he saw this situation, saying: "Lu Wen, it seems that this battle will be won by my Demon Race after all!"

Lu Wen smiled slightly: "How about we make a bet? If you lose, you will be my mount for another ten years, how about that?"

Kunpeng: "."

He closed his mouth and said nothing, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

Lu Wen gently shook his head and began to recite a poem! (End of this chapter)
