Shi Feiyang shattered Shang Heyang's physical body and frightened away the Green Robe Ancestor. Both of them ran faster than lightning, eluding pursuit.
Such Sect Leader-level figures all had some life-preserving skills at their disposal. It was difficult to kill them thoroughly unless their fated calamities were upon them. At most, one or two of their Primordial Spirit incarnations could be destroyed, but they would still manage to escape.
Without the encumbrance of a physical body, a Primordial Spirit could travel thousands of miles in an instant during a Flying Escape. They could gather and disperse nearly invisibly and formlessly, making them hard to capture; one could only let them go.
Shi Feiyang then used the Purple and Blue Duoluo Fire to remove the cursed Demonic Flame from his Flying Sword and Immortal Diamond. he then turned to confront the Poison Dragon Venerable.
The Poison Dragon Venerable was dueling with Huo Wuhai. Previously, the vast amounts of True Sun Fire released by Huo Wuhai had been mostly captured by the Green Robe Ancestor using the Glazed Tile Palace. The Poison Dragon Venerable's Junior, the Western Wild Demon Jacob, continuously captured it as well, drawing the Yin Yang Qi non-stop into the Purple Gold Bowl.
Huo Wuhai's flames seemed nearly infinite; a wave of his hands would create thousands of clusters, and a breath from his mouth would spout flames hundreds, even thousands of feet long, creating a raging inferno.
Jacob using the bowl to capture his True Fire didn't bother him at all. His strategy was to simply exercise brute force, increasing the fire output continuously to see how much the other could capture.
At this point, Jacob's Purple Gold Bowl had been heated to a glowing red, hanging in the air. The Sun Divine Fire was still being continuously captured.
Jacob, feeling the heat coming from the bowl, was sweating profusely; his monk's robe, both front and back, were soaked through, and even his Divine Sense began to feel dizzy.
He knew this was bad and wanted to retract the bowl, but Huo Wuhai's flames continued to pour in; controlled by Huo Wuhai's Divine Thoughts. If Jacob dared to retract the bowl, the flames would completely overflow and burst out. He could only continue casting spells to barely maintain a very fragile balance.
Among all opponents, only the Formless Divine Demons of the Great Strength Dharma King Hagenib and the Poison Dragon Mani Bead from the Poison Dragon Venerable could break through the high-temperature fire ring and injure Huo Wuhai. The Formless Divine Demons were captured by Xiong Man using the Dragon Sparrow Ring, leaving only nine Mani Beads constantly attacking him.
Shi Feiyang flew over and launched his Suiren's Drill, drilling into one of the Mani Beads, which immediately exploded into a burst of five-colored light flames accompanied by a great deal of black smoke.
The Poison Dragon Venerable, in a mix of shock and anger, spat out Essence Blood, formed Dharma Seals with his hands, and sought to use the remaining eight Mani Beads to set up the Fetus Concealing Dharma Realm Formation.
The eight Mani Beads shone brightly, from inside flew out mountains and rivers, boundless illusions, about to form a formation and trap both Shi Feiyang and Huo Wuhai.
Shi Feiyang simply pointed with his hand, and the Suiren's Drill locked onto another Mani Bead and drilled into it, causing another explosion with yet another Mani Bead being shattered.
After two consecutive destructions of Mani Beads, these treasures originally had infinite transformations, impervious to blade and thunder and even if locked by some treasures, capable of evading... but now in the blink of an eye, Shi Feiyang had shattered two!
The heart of the Poison Dragon Venerable was bleeding. He quickly retracted the Treasure Beads, raising and waving his sleeve, then released a skyful of Soft Red Sand.
Having already killed One Light Master, Shi Feiyang was profoundly dreaded; both Shang Heyang and the Green Robe Ancestor had escaped in succession, and the Poison Dragon Venerable also wanted to flee promptly.
But he didn't come alone; there were a few junior brothers and many Disciples.
While attacking Shi Feiyang with spells, the Poison Dragon Venerable sent messages to everyone, instructing them to gather to him, preparing to leave soon.
He no longer sought to defeat Shi Feiyang, only hoping to block him momentarily. Once he gathered everyone, then they could leave together... As the Sect Hierarch of the Western Demon Cult, having the greatest influence in various Demon Cults and most followers in the Sichuan-Yunnan region, he still needed to save face and couldn't flee in utter disarray.
With his Dao Level, if he had chosen to flee with all his power like the Green Robe Ancestor had done early, Shi Feiyang would also have difficulty keeping him. But, having such thoughts, Shi Feiyang blasted him with Flying Sword and Suiren's Drill, along with three bursts of Duoluo Divine Flame, he couldn't even block for a moment.
The Monyi Pearls and Soft Red Sand completely failed, the Flying Sword and Single Dragon Cone were no help, the Demon Lord he had nurtured for many years was restrained by the Duoluo Fire; it wailed loudly as it approached, almost ready to turn and bite back at its master!
"How dare you try to stop me from obtaining treasures!" Shi Feiyang, besides the Flying Sword Magical Treasure, shot out white Geng Metal Essence from his fingertips, ten streaks of white vapors extended straight forward, targeting the Poison Dragon Venerable.
The Poison Dragon Venerable hastily used his Flying Sword and Monyi Pearls to block, clashing with the Geng Metal Essence, which tinkled sharply; Geng Metal, known for its sharpness, though gaseous, had the properties of metal. Were it not for the fact that Shi Feiyang's cultivation was still recent and the Poison Dragon Venerable's Flying Sword Magical Treasure was of decent quality, it would have been cut into several sections already.
After a few exchanges, suddenly Geng Metal produced Gui Water, the white Qi turned black, all transforming into Gui Water Essence Qi.
After a few more clashes, the black Qi turned to green Qi, Gui Water turned to Jia Wood, all turning into Jia Wood Essence Qi.
Jia Wood soaring to the sky, powerful and forceful, charging forth, the impacts forced the Poison Dragon Venerable's Flying Sword and Monyi Pearls continuously backward, like being struck by ten giant trees in succession.
The Poison Dragon Venerable, spouting Essence Qi, desperately cast spells to steady his footing. Shi Feiyang suddenly gave a jerk of his wrist, and ten strands of green light instantly transformed into a hundred fist-sized Thunder Pearls in mid-air, all pure Jia Wood Divine Thunder. With a push of Shi Feiyang's hands forward, the hundred Thunder Pearls swarmed forth and exploded violently.
"Boom..." A hundred green thunderclaps exploded simultaneously, shaking heaven and earth.
If anyone else had endured this strike, they would have been blown to pieces, unable to even preserve their Primordial Spirit.
The Poison Dragon Venerable, after all, was the Sect Hierarch of a faction. Though he was disheveled, his Primordial Spirit severely shaken, blood pouring from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, he somehow steadied his stance, enduring without serious injury.
But that was as far as he could go. Shi Feiyang didn't wait for him to catch his breath; he struck with the Suiren's Drill directly at his face. The Poison Dragon Venerable had no choice but to use another Monyi Pearl to block yet another disaster, but it failed to stop Shi Feiyang's next attack with the Three Yangs One Qi Sword.
Three colored sword rainbows crisscrossed, slashing diagonally from the right neck to the left shoulder, sweeping horizontally across the waist, and cutting from the left hip to the right leg. In just a moment, Poison Dragon Venerable was chopped into several pieces!
In both pain and anger, Poison Dragon Venerable let out a long howl. Although his body was severed, it did not fall apart, still held together by his mana.
Seizing the opportunity, Shi Feiyang intensified his attack with the Three Yangs One Qi Sword, chopping his body even finer, then drilled again with Suiren's Drill.
With a loud explosion, the body of Poison Dragon Venerable burst into a mass of blood and flesh.
However, the cultivation techniques of the Western Demon Cult and the Eastern Demon Cult were different. Poison Dragon Venerable still managed to barely gather his broken bones and flesh into a silhouette, governed by his Lifebound Divine Demon and did not die. He reclaimed his Flying Sword Magical Treasure and transformed into a streak of blood light, fleeing far away.
Just as Shi Feiyang was about to pursue, he noticed that Dharma King Hagenib, in his attempt to escape, released his Technique Divine Powers to attack him.
Faced with the formidable Technique Divine Powers, no ordinary demon could compare. Shi Feiyang did not dare to be careless. First, he shattered it with Suiren's Drill to dampen its fierce momentum. After it regathered its form, he suppressed it with the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler, adding the Demon Suppression Talisman from the He Sha Book to forcefully suppress it.
While he unleashed a fierce attack and forced Poison Dragon Venerable to flee, Huo Wuhai furiously unleashed the True Sun Fire, attacking both Hagenib and the Western Wild Demon, Jacob.
The rotating bowl that Jacob possessed finally could not withstand the relentless inpouring of True Fire and was melted by it. The dense, soup-like flames it had absorbed erupted all at once. From the bowl, barely a foot in diameter, it rapidly expanded to dozens of acres in size, filled with incandescent divine flames.
Both Jacob and Hagenib were engulfed in a sea of fire. Though Hagenib relied on his Technique Divine Power, commanding his Divine Demon desperately to escape, Jacob lacked such abilities and could only use a Demon Fire Gourd. From it, he flew out a small banner, the Demon Banner spinning, releasing ten thousand streams of demon fire.
The demon fire he cultivated was different from Shang Heyang's and slightly weaker in power. As the Demon Banner rapidly spun, it incessantly spewed demonic flames around.
Huo Wuhai flew close, wielding the Sun Divine Needle, blinding him in both eyes and then pinned his Lifebound Divine. Then, the surrounding True Sun Fire converged toward the center, reducing him and all his treasures to ashes within moments, leaving only his Lifebound Divine pinned down.
Just as Huo Wuhai was about to use the Five Clouds Separation and Union Gui to eradicate it, Shi Feiyang intervened, snatching it through the air, "Do not destroy him, I still have use for him."
Together, the master and disciple combo made the attackers on the Rainbow Bridge from the Western Sect flee in terror. Brooyinca fled the fastest, already having slipped away, leaving behind only the disciples of Poison Dragon Venerable. They were chopped down effortlessly by Lin Han and Shi Sheng, the Nanming Leaving Fire Sword and Taibai Split Light Sword, with Xiong Man wielding an Ancient Golden Sword, and many fell into the mouths of the three Great Demons, Golden Spider, Long Meng, and Wu Longzi, almost completely slaughtered.
With all enemies eradicated or fled, Shi Feiyang led his disciples back to Bitter Bamboo Temple.
This great battle, directly overthrowing the Eastern, Southern, and Western Demon Cults, greatly pleased Shi Feiyang; the efforts of his years not wasted, his disciples had performed exceptionally, especially Deng Bagu and Huo Wuhai, who initially withstood the attacks of three major Sect Leaders.
The performances of Lin Han, Shi Sheng, and others were also commendable, and even Xiong Man managed to capture four Formless Divine Demons with her Dragon Sparrow Ring.
With Golden Spider, Long Meng, and Wu Longzi, the three Great Demons behaving well was rare, as their alien nature was unstable and could easily cause trouble. Perfectly executing his orders and effectively handling the tasks was quite an achievement.
Zhu Changyuan and Bai Guanhong also did well in securely guarding their home.
As for eliminating two elders from the Emei Sect...
Despite the One Light Master's attempt to resolve the grudge between the two sides, the one who stirred trouble first should expect the consequences; daring to intrude and steal the children of his family warranted being fiercely dealt with!
The only downside was Bai Guanhong getting injured. As a Silkworm Gu King devoted to being virtuous—originally, the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu was the strongest among all in the Shushan World, extremely vicious, bloodthirsty, even the Three Immortals and Two Elders had to flee if they had no suitable Magical Treasure to counter it.
Being the father of the king of all Gu, he exclusively indulged in human literature, upholding human morals and ethics, resolved on becoming a righteous person.
Continuing to flourish the Dao teachings in his realm, Shi Feiyang did not stick to old conventions. Observing the Heavenly Dao and maintaining it to guide humanity, establishing human laws by distinguishing his clan from the myriad primitive beings was no small feat. He led them to dominate Primordial times.
Carrying on with these teachings, although physical manifestation varied, essentials remained unchanged. Over thousands of years, the original teachings morphed into various interpretations by many schools; in later generations, as teachings became increasingly distorted, they focused on trivial matters, forgetting the fundamentals. Shi Feiyang instructed Bai Guanhong not to pursue the current ways but to understand the essence of the Dao, aspiring to the great Dao and human virtues—basics for establishing righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and fidelity. Avoiding naive acts of kindness or righteousness.
When the great Dao ends, discussions on righteousness emerge.
Without understanding the great Dao, merely speaking of righteousness or morality, no matter how eloquently, amounts to false righteousness!
He advised Bai Guanhong, if encountering such situations again, not to hesitate, "The moment you are sure they are out for your demise, unleash your Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu on them without restraint!"
The Dao of the Three Emperors isn't about servility but about dominating by not seeking favor from others!
Following this, Shi Feiyang began distributing treasures.
Due to the urgency, he only entered the first level of the Pagoda and took some weapons, among which were a few genuine treasures.
