Shi Feiyang had previously set up the Twelve Flower Evil God Gang in anticipation of confronting Qian Kang and others. Knowing that Ruan Zheng possessed Tianxuan Divine Sand, specifically effective against demons, he had instructed the Mo brothers in advance to release the Heaven and Earth Quiet Circle upon seeing the Five-Colored Starlight. The three circles flew out, intertwining with the Tianxuan Divine Sand, and both sides continuously cast spells, each attempting to seize the other's Magical Treasure, entangling each other persistently.

At that moment, the four Divine Demons unleashed their power. Varnagyin II pounced towards Shen Tuhong, while Qazin Shabu attacked Zhuge Jingwo. The Sect Hierarch of the Golden Flower, Zhong Ang, targeted Qian Kang's wife, and another Divine Hand Monk, Wei Fengniang, directly assaulted the Lord of the Everlasting City, Qian Kang.

Both Qian Kang and his wife were Earth Immortals. Seeing the demons charging at them, they dared not let them get close. They both stretched out their hands, pointing forward and released the Yuqing Immortal Light to block the two Divine Demons and then unleashed their Flying Sword Magical Treasure.

Wei Fengniang, known as the Purple Orchid Evil, dressed in a purple robe, was surrounded by fluttering purple orchids and let her hair flow freely. She wielded the White Light Immortal Sword, which Shi Feiyang had obtained from Sikong Hu. Shi Feiyang had previously given this sword to Lin Han, along with the Nanming Leaving Fire Sword, but later took it back to equip Wei Fengniang, fitting well with her previous life's Cultivation Technique. At this moment, she unleashed the Flying Snow Sword Technique, emitting a tremendously fierce Light Energy.

Three Flying Swords and twelve Golden Sabers intertwined and slaughtered each other, chopping, stabbing, and clashing, sparking large bursts of Mars.

On another front, Qazin Shabu faced off against Zhuge Jingwo, wildly grabbing with his Demon Claw to snatch Zhuge Jingwo's Flying Sword. Zhuge Jingwo wielded the Invisible Sword Energy of the Taicing Mysterious Sect, which could condense into form and disperse intangibly. The Sword Energy, more versatile than in previous lives, made the Demon Claw from Qazin Shabu unable to keep up with the Invisible Sword's speed. After a brief struggle, Zhuge Jingwo shouted loudly and beheaded Qazin Shabu with a single sword strike.

As Qazin Shabu's head fell to the ground, it immediately spun and grew as large as a wheel. From its eyes, two beams of red light shot towards Zhuge Jingwo, its mouth biting in an attack. From the headless body, a dull and mournful wail emerged, "I died so miserably! I died so miserably!" Using the Demon Cult's Secret Sounds within its cries, even Shen Tuhong felt the misery, and Zhuge Jingwo, locked by the magic, felt even more wretched, as if he were a deeply unforgivable criminal. He realized it was the effect of a Demon Path Secret Method, quickly clearing his mind and slicing the approaching bald head into seventeen or eighteen pieces with his sword.

Blood splattered everywhere. Zhuge Jingwo, not daring to let it touch him, protected himself with Sword Energy and retreated rapidly. The droplets of blood suspended in mid-air, changing from red to yellow, transforming into osmanthus flowers. A new head, ferocious in expression, regrew from Qazin Shabu's body, proclaiming, "You killed me! Now I will also kill you in revenge!" Its arms extended long, with hands turning into wheel-sized Demon Claws reaching for Zhuge Jingwo.

While Shen Tuhong faced Varnagyin II, as a senior disciple of Qi Shuming with the longest period of Cultivation, his understanding of the Dao was limited due to his innate aptitude, though his Mana was high. Without significant Magical Treasures or having refined the Invisible Flying Sword of the Taiqing Mysterious Sect, he only possessed an ordinary Flying Sword. Feeling insufficient even with his demon-slaying sword, Varnagyin II's Demon Claw captured his Flying Sword, and he could not call it back. In a rush, he gathered his True Qi and unleashed the Taiyin Divine Thunder!

Both the Emei and Qingcheng factions could use Taiyin Divine Thunder, which appeared as golden light upon release. Though Shen Tuhong could only manage a modest deployment due to his limited Effort, it was still extremely powerful. With a wave, he unleashed a Golden Light Thunder that fiercely exploded on Varnagyin II's body.

This Divine Thunder from the Mysterious Sect was indeed the bane of evil demons. Varnagyin II was blasted into nothingness on the spot, turning into a mass of blood that did not disperse with the wind but instead surged like a tide, advancing rather than retreating, enclosing Shen Tuhong within it.

Seeing the situation turn dire, Shen Tuhong hastily combined himself with his sword, ascended into the sky, but the mass of bloody mist continuously enveloped him and his sword, ascending together. Wrapped in the sword light, Shen Tuhong looked out through the Sword Light and saw blood-colored lotuses forming from the mist. The Blood Lotus continuously spun, gradually producing several heads, all resembling Varnagyin II, speaking from all directions, each head saying something different.

One said, "Kind sir, where are you heading to?"

Another exclaimed, "Kind sir, the old monk's body has been blasted apart by you. Hurry up and give your body to the old monk!"

Yet another declared, "Kind sir, you have slaughtered a Buddhist monk treasure, you have committed the five heinous crimes, you should fall into Abyss Hell..."

As they spoke, they hurled themselves at the Sword Light, getting shredded by it, with both heads and lotus flowers completely destroyed, staining the Sword Light with blood that continuously seeped and permeated.

Below, the Sect Hierarch of the Golden Flower, Zhong Ang, and the Divine Hand Monk, Wei Fengniang, fought fiercely against Qian Kang and his wife. Although the couple were Earth Immortals, relying solely on their Flying Sword and some Spells only allowed them to temporarily repel the two Divine Demons without causing effective damage. Therefore, Qian Kang resorted to a rarely used Magical Treasure—the Thousand Leaf Divine Thunder Charge.

He had initially determined that the Myriad Cold Centipede would become a major calamity. Once it survived the myriad-year calamity and developed an Undying Body, it would inevitably head to the Everlasting City to create chaos. Thus, he had always sought a way to eliminate it. Especially during the years when the aurora was weak, he would secretly employ his Mana, fly to the intersection of the Prime Meridian and the Date Line, and wait for the Aurora Fire to speed around the Earth Axis, managing to collect some Essence Energy. Over the centuries, he gathered quite an amount, then with ninety-nine years of arduous Effort, alongside previously harvested primordial magnetic divine iron, he refined this Magical Treasure.

This treasure resembled a Thousand Leaf Lotus-shaped windmill, centrally containing a small lotus pod with nine holes. When activated, it expanded to tens of meters in length, with the Thousand Leaf Lotus petals spinning rapidly at the front, slicing forward, while from the lotus pod, nine streams of blue and white Light Energy erupted, instantly melting and vanishing all steel, earth, and stone it encountered.

He had crafted this precious treasure specifically to deal with the Cold Centipede, but the Black Dragon had eliminated the Cold Centipede first. Now it was fitting to use it against the Black Dragon. As it was a Mountain Treasure meant to deliver a fatal strike to the Black Dragon, he was reluctant to use it frivolously. But seeing the many bizarre transformations and the difficulty in killing the opposing Demon rapidly, and with the Black Dragon about to awaken, the risks were too great. He had no choice but to reveal this treasure.

Thousand Leaf Divine Thunder shot into the sky, aiming directly at Wei Fengniang. The White Light Sword moved to meet it, first blocked by the high-speed spinning Thousand Leaf Lotus, which sliced together, emitting a sharp sound that grated on the nerves, and sparking numerous fiery sparks that brightened the sky in front of Tianxin Palace.

Then, from inside the lotus, nine streams of green and white energy shot up toward the sword light, causing the radiance of the White Light Sword to immediately dim.

Fortunately, this White Light Sword was an ancient sword acquired by Sikong Hu and was of extraordinary quality. If it had been Wei Fengniang's own blade, it would have been melted down to molten iron with that strike.

Nevertheless, the sword tip suffered damage, and Wei Fengniang hurriedly withdrew her sword, flinging her sleeve to release millions of purple orchids.

Qian Kang exhaled Essence Energy, accelerating the spinning of the Thousand Leaf Divine Thunder, creating a powerful suction force. This drew the orchids near, where the spinning lotus petals and iron leaves shredded them into smoke!

Once he deployed this Magical Treasure, Wei Fengniang could no longer defend against it, and neither could Zhong Ang.

Qian Kang was about to press on energetically to eliminate all four Demons when he called out, "Shentu Daoist friend! Zhuge Daoist friend! Please trap the Demons and stop them from escaping. Let's join forces and use the Divine Thunder to annihilate them!"

Shen Tuhong, having been pushed to despair by Varnagyin II, found no escape in heaven or on earth, while Zhuge Jingwo was being continuously forced back by Kasyapasabu. They had tried every spell and technique available to them but were unable to eliminate these two Divine Demons. Hearing Qian Kang's words, they rejoiced inside, scrambling to gather at the location.

Qian Kang and his wife joined hands, preparing the Divine Thunder Charge to first intercept Shen Tuhong flying down from the sky, but suddenly something felt terribly wrong, and they hastily grabbed each other and flew into the air.

Looking back, they saw the platform enveloped in a vast amount of green smoke. The couple, finding it eerily familiar, almost simultaneously exclaimed, "Myriad Cold Centipede!"

"You're right!" A delicate voice sounded from behind them. The couple turned around and, some thirty feet away in the clear space, floated a graceful young girl clad in a simple thin silk dress, tilting her head as she looked at them, "Eternal Night City Lord, I've long wanted to taste what you are made of!"

With that, she suddenly opened her mouth wide, her mouth stretching wider than a wash basin, revealing saw-toothed fangs. A long tongue stretched out several feet as a huge amount of green energy blasted from her throat straight towards Qian Kang!

The couple hurriedly used Yuqing Celestial Light to block, also deploying the Thousand Leaf Divine Thunder. The spinning thousand-petaled lotus was impervious to the Evil Demon, and inside the lotus, nine streams of green and white energy, specifically prepared for the Myriad Cold Centipede, penetrated the green smoke, striking directly at the Myriad Cold Centipede.

The Myriad Cold Centipede spread its arms, retreating into the sky behind it. At that moment, from the left, right, above, and below, behind Qian Kang and his wife, a green-robed woman appeared...

In total, nine incarnations of Myriad Cold Centipede appeared, the one in front retreating while the others simultaneously attacked from all sides.

The most formidable one appeared among the green smoke on the platform. Seeing Wei Fengniang and Zhong Ang joining forces against Ruan Zheng, Ruan Zheng managed to barely fend off with his Flying Sword. Suddenly, a breath of fragrant green smoke was blown from a distance toward him.

Ruan Zheng used one hand to manipulate the Tianxuan Divine Sand and try to pull himself together, and the other hand to wield sword techniques to fend off the attacks of Wei Fengniang and Zhong Ang. He suddenly caught the scent of the fragrance, causing a reaction in his entire body, his Primordial Spirit reeled, and he was almost captured by the enemy from afar.

Fortunately, before his previous life was dissolved, his mentor, Xun Lanyin, worried about him being harmed by demons in his next life, personally refined the Tianxuan Divine Sand for him, turning it into two Two-Phase Rings on his fingers, protecting his primordial spirit. Feeling a tightening on his finger, a flash of light awakened his divine sense, shattering Myriad Cold Centipede's Soul Capturing Great Technique.

Although his Divine Soul wasn't restrained, when Myriad Cold Centipede intensively surged the green energy toward him like a tidal wave, knowing he couldn't withstand it, he hurriedly controlled his sword to ascend into the sky.

"Where are you going?" Another Myriad Cold Centipede appeared in the sky, hovering above him, smilingly asked as she waved her hand, sending another wave of green smoke. The green smoke from above and below sandwiched him together; unable to retrieve the Tianxuan Divine Sand, Ruan Zheng could only escape merged with his sword. However, this weakened his control over Tianxuan Divine Sand, making it easy to be snatched away.

Unwilling to lose this vital treasure, he hesitated for a moment, but was already enclosed in the surrounding green gases, melding into a sizable green cloud that enveloped him. The two Myriad Cold Centipedes, along with Wei Fengniang and Zhong Ang attacked from all sides, each deploying Demon Soul Seizing Secret Techniques.

Ruan Zheng struggled to hold out. He soon felt his divine soul waver, the world spinning around, his Flying Sword nearly out of control.

Just as he feared and was about to abandon the Divine Sand, planning to combine his body and sword to desperately escape, suddenly, a twenty-yard long rainbow flew from the distant sky, faster than lightning. Arriving above, it instantly split into nine streaks of sword luminance in the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, each locking onto a target. The red, yellow, blue, and green lights plummeted from the sky, piercing towards the two Myriad Cold Centipedes, Wei Fengniang, and Zhong Ang who were attacking Ruan Zheng. Simultaneously, a voice was heard from hundreds of miles away, "Fellow Daoists, the Demon Dragon is about to awaken. Today is beyond remedy; let's retreat back to Eternal Night City for now and plan further!"
