Shi Feiyang's arrival quickly turned the tide of the battle.

He killed five of Deng Yin's disciples in succession, shocking the others and putting an end to their previous arrogance. Hearing the voice of the Red Corpse God Monarch from the space telling them to quickly retreat, they hurriedly flew away at high speed.

However, this was not any ordinary mountain terrain, but within the Liangyi Dust Formation!

Shi Feiyang was truly surprised to hear the Secret Demon Divine Sound of the twelve heavenly aspects of the Red Corpse God Monarch being transmitted here from another portal.

He knew this Secret Demon Divine Sound as well, but could not freely propagate it within the Liangyi Dust Formation, which could generate numerous worlds. He figured that the Red Corpse God Monarch must have some other insights gleaned from a millennium of cultivation.

The remaining seventeen disciples of the Demon Path wanted to escape, but the array activated, surrounding them with colorful smoke and spurting out great amounts of Pure Yang True Fire.

Previously, they had been led through the demon formation by Wusaqi and Asaba.

These two had practiced cultivation with Deng Yin over a hundred years ago and had spent the last three hundred sixty years in the Star Constellations Sea Floor, delving into the Liangyi Dust Formation together with Deng Yin. Possessing sect leader-level mana, they were quite familiar with the Liangyi Dust Formation.

Although there were still disciples of Deng Yin among the remaining people, they were far less experienced and powerful compared to the first two senior brothers. Even if Shi Feiyang and Yi Jing, along with others, let them be, they could not escape, and ultimately, everyone would be refined by the Liangyi Dust Formation.

Suddenly, a strange demonic sound came from a distance. It was not simply a howl but clearly had content, though it was impossible to discern exactly what was being shouted. On concentrating and listening closely, the demonic sound penetrated their minds, causing ear ringing, dizziness, heart palpitations, and trembling of both body and spirit.

This was the Red Corpse God Monarch's most adept Secret Demon Divine Sound, a series of long cries that made even Shi Feiyang feel extremely uncomfortable.

Those younger members of the Emei Sect could not withstand it, except for Li Yuanhua who had practiced the orthodox methods of the Mysterious Sect for many years and had a solid foundation, and Yi Jing whose Nascent Body was tempered and who still maintained consciousness despite great discomfort under the protection of the Treasured Umbrella. All the other younger disciples of Emei bled from seven apertures and fainted.

"This is bad! The Red Corpse is coming!"

Li Yuanhua shouted loudly, hastily casting spells to protect his disciples and retreat.

The Red Corpse God Monarch, with his mana fully unleashed, had not yet arrived but first cleared the way with the Secret Demon Divine Sound, knocking out more than twenty Emei Sect disciples unconscious. Thanks to their cultivated Mysterious Sect mental methods and refined divine energy, otherwise they would have been directly shocked to death, with even their Primordial Spirits taken away!

Following the Secret Demon Divine Sound were the Red Corpse's Seven Evil Demon Light flames, a crimson Demonic Flame that surged from the south like a tide, engulfing one world after another created by the array.

Shi Feiyang also recognized that this Red Corpse God Monarch indeed possessed extremely strong divine skills and mana. He knew that he couldn't compete with the opponent using Yue Yun's methods.

He caught up to Li Yuanhua, "I'll take the children and go, you go and save fellow Zhu!"

After speaking, he again used the previously employed Mysterious Sect Spirit Light Escape Technique, covering all the unconscious Emei juniors and directly transporting them away.

Li Yuanhua stood in place for a moment, not daring to delay, he hurriedly went to rescue the dwarf, Zhu Mei, and hurriedly controlled his sword to leave with Zhu Mei.

The Red Corpse God Monarch did not pursue, only taking away the Dragon Sparrow Ring tainted by the Blood Fetus that belonged to Zhu Mei. He himself didn't show up, a large area of demonic light covered his own disciples, also transporting them away.

At this time, Deng Yin had just snatched another Dragon Sparrow Ring from Bai Guyi and was engaged in a fierce battle with the couple Qi Shuming.

Having received Shi Feiyang's transmission, he knew there would be no further gains in battle today, and it was urgent to leave, so he instructed the Red Corpse God Monarch and the Jiulei God to retrieve their disciples.

Hearing the demonic howl of the Red Corpse God Monarch, he knew the disciples had been collected, and thus he took the lead to break into the southern Hui Gate!

The Hui Gate was where the entrance lay, and once past, they could escape.

Upon reaching this spot, ready to cast a spell to delay the array to allow his two companions with their people to come out, suddenly during the interval of the array's opening and closing, two people entered from outside.

One was an eight or nine-year-old boy in a goose-yellow shorts and shirt, barefoot, wearing a big shiny golden collar around his neck—Jile Perfected Li Jingxu.

Beside him was a handsome and refined-looking young monk, holding an ancient glazed lamp, who was the Cold Moon Zen Master from Xie Shan.

Deng Yin was also an old friend of Li Jingxu, having formed a connection when he and Master Changmei initially entered the path, a thousand-year-old friendship.

But the Li Jingxu he remembered from those days was a handsome young man; this child's body had been formed over a hundred years ago by gathering the essence of the Five Elements, which Deng Yin had not seen before.

Naturally, Deng Yin had not met Xie Shan either.

But as these two figures appeared, Deng Yin immediately felt a chill, with all hairs standing on end—or rather, the sensation was more startling than hairs standing up, as he had no skin left.

Before he could speak, Li Jingxu raised his hand and released a thousand strikes of Taiyin Divine Thunder.

In the world of Shu Mountain, the potency of Thunder Skill entirely depended on the individual's mana. The Taiyin Divine Thunder cast by Li Jingxu differed vastly from that by Li Yuanhua!

Back then, a group of naive disciples from the Kongtong Sect had decided to provoke the dragon by setting a large array together, aiming to kill Li Jingxu.

With just a point of his finger, Li Jingxu used the Taiyin Divine Thunder, breaking the array and killing most of them with a single strike.

He was not interested in squabbles with junior demons. The surviving Kongtong Sect elders were terrified.

Now, with just a flick of his hand, Li Jingxu released the Taiyin Divine Thunder. While Li Yuanhua unleashed one thunderbolt at a time, he released over a thousand thunderbolts, each far surpassing Li Yuanhua's in power by many times!

Ordinary cultivators struck by these thunderbolts would have their bodies and souls completely destroyed, yet when they hit Deng Yin, he merely rolled backward. Although he was in a sorry state and felt terrible, he was unharmed.

However, Li Jingxu knew that the Taiyin Divine Thunder would not harm the Blood Demon, and he cast such dazzling thunderbolts only to cover for Xie Shan, whose real killer move was the sparks emitted by the lamp he held!

Among the Buddhist Magical Treasures, the Seven Treasures Golden Banner and Conch Leaf Talisman were the top two, with Xie Shan's Heart Lamp Flower Lamp ranked third, capable of destroying the Blood Demon Deng Yin completely.

Originally in the text, Deng Yin was killed by the collaboration of these two!

Having recognized his destined end, Deng Yin was always on guard against the pair teaming up.

So today, when he saw a child and a youth with a lamp, he immediately grew alert, knowing his end was near.

Li Jingxu struck exceedingly fast. First, he knocked him over with a thousand Taiyin Divine Thunders; amidst the lightning, the sparks from the lamp were hidden, protecting his vital spirit with two treasures within a fraction of a second.

One was a half set of the Dragon Sparrow Ring, specifically the smaller ring, forcibly taken from Xiong Man, and the other was called the Heavenly Repairing Stone.

He had once annihilated three demon corpses in the ancient tomb of the Wuhua Family, where he found one treasure belonging to the ancient Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi—a Heavenly Repairing Stone not really for mending the skies but serving another purpose. Qiong Qi had obtained a piece and made it into a protective treasure, which Deng Yin acquired after its death.

The Heart Lamp Buddha Fire was especially capable of subjugating various demons. Even Deng Yin, who had cultivated into a Blood Shadow, could be destroyed entirely by it, yet it was ineffective against the combined might of the Mysterious Sect's ultimate treasure, the Dragon Sparrow Ring, and the ancient treasure, the Heavenly Repairing Stone.

Knowing his fate, Deng Yin had been deeply contemplating how to counter his destiny. After arduous calculations, he realized that only the Dragon Sparrow Ring could guard his spirit, hence he had previously seized the treasure from Xiong Man.

Over the years, he had been rigorously refining the two treasures, and now they finally came into play as the dozen sparks aimed at his Nascent Soul were absorbed into the Dragon Sparrow Ring.

The Buddha Fire didn't extinguish but continued to burn inward. This flame, known as the Heart Lamp Fire, was potent enough to refine demons and forge souls, even from a distance.

Deng Yin had also used the Heavenly Repairing Stone to anchor his Nascent Soul. While the Buddha Fire could burn his Nascent Soul, it couldn't damage the Heavenly Repairing Stone, and the fire extinguished shortly after.

This outcome greatly surprised both Li Jingxu and Xie Shan, who had thought they could dissipate Deng Yin into a mist of blood.

In a low growl, Deng Yin said, "Li Daoist! It's been three to four hundred years, and to think we'd meet again under these circumstances."

Li Jingxu did not waste words. Instead, he unleashed his Flying Sword, a streak of golden light, as did Xie Shan.

Deng Yin snorted coldly and released two Golden Spears, which transformed into parallel golden arcs, clashing against their Flying Swords.

These two Golden Spears, originating from the Qiao Mountain Mausoleum of Emperor Xuanyuan, were obtained when three demon corpses, scared off by a duel between Shi Feiyang and Master Ren, entered the Mausoleum through a tunnel and, instead of stealing the Heavenly Mirror and Nine Suspicions Tripod, took the nearby Golden Spears.

The duel Golden Spears, forged by Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi himself, possessed even greater power than many Immortal Swords. Both Li Jingxu and Xie Shan's Flying Swords were incredibly high in quality; in the original text, Li Jingxu had slain the Green Robe Ancestor through a surprise attack—cutting his body in twain and destroying his original Primordial Spirit; if not for the Green Robe Ancestor anchoring his Second Primordial Spirit in the Mysterious Yin Pearl, he would have been utterly obliterated right then and there.

Yet even so, they had no advantage against the Heavenly Emperor Spears!

As Deng Yin clashed swords with the pair, he kindled three scarlet Demonic Flames atop his head and shot out whip-like Demon Fire at his two adversaries.

Xie Shan released a vast expanse of Buddha Light, within which were several sparks of Heart Lamp Buddha Fire.

Li Jingxu, meanwhile, unleashed 36,000 Qiankun Needles, transforming into endless red filaments.

With a wave of his hands, massive swathes of colorful smoke, enveloping the red filaments, swept toward Deng Yin like a rain of clouds.

Deng Yin countered with ten fingers casting Blood Evil Demon Light, holding his own against two opponents.

The battle lasted only moments and no victor was declared, when the Red Corpse God Monarch and Jiulei God, each leading their disciples, arrived. Monk Xiao Yue used two Immortal Swords for rearguard actions, followed last by the couples Qi Shuming and Xuan Zhenzi, Bai Guyi, and others catching up in the tail.

"Is everyone gathered? Let's go!"

Deng Yin bellowed, his body blazing with Demon Light, his three Blood Flames descending from above, merging with the ten fingers of Blood Light, his power doubling as the two Heavenly Emperor Spears transformed into parallel golden rainbows, aggressively charging forward.
