The four great masters of Buddhism and Daoism simultaneously struck, blasting the monsters into pieces, shattering them to smithereens.

However, even though these beings were shattered, they did not die.

Those that were not destroyed immediately opened their massive jaws and began to devour everything in a frenzy.

All forty-eight creatures carried the will and memory of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader, effectively serving as his incarnations. For a thousand years, he propagated through reproduction and splitting, fusing through mutual consumption—over and over!

His overall strength continuously grew and underwent qualitative changes in these cycles of splitting and merging because, during the process, Grandmaster Ha Ha also invested a great deal of resources.

If these forty-eight were to recombine into one, upon the final revival of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader, he would be many times stronger than when he first began a millennium ago!

It didn't matter if they were blasted into pieces; consuming them would make up for the loss—it wouldn't be a waste.

The four great experts attacked relentlessly. The Emei Sect disciples strived to establish their formation. Xuanyuan Dharma King, Grandmaster Ha Ha, and Evil Corpse Gu Chen also began to fight desperately, aware that once these monsters were annihilated, they too would not survive!

Shi Feiyang, seeing an opportunity from above, suddenly appeared amidst the clouds.

He drew all the clouds within a thousand li, using the Mica Tent as a foundation to condense a cloud platform tens of acres in size.

He stood upon this Dharma Platform formed from the condensed clouds, releasing the Nine Suspicions Tripod. The tripod grew tens of meters tall, with a simple and ancient design, exuding a majestic presence like a mountain peak suspended in the sky.

Shi Feiyang continued to cast his technique from the cloud, with both hands forming seals, repeatedly emitting streams of Immortal Energy that struck the majestic tripod.

The Nine Suspicions Tripod resonated with booming sounds—each tone overtook the last, much like the bell chimes that compose the music of the heavens.

Aside from the four great experts, everyone else was unaware of his presence above. Now seeing him suddenly make an appearance, they were all shocked and pale-faced.

Even the four great experts only knew that he was present at the scene and later deduced from the divination signs that he had hidden among the clouds, guessing when he had come, but not exactly what he was up to.

Suddenly, the Treasure Tripod chimed crisply, and the Ding Cover flew high up. As soon as the mouth of the Tripod was exposed, all the light from above was absorbed into it!

The entire sky, which was originally filled with white clouds drawn by Shi Feiyang, aside from that area, was clear as crystal with not a cloud in sight for thousands of miles.

The moment the Nine Suspicions Tripod exerted its power, the sky immediately dimmed, reducing even the sun into a small "egg yolk."

The Seven Treasures Golden Banner had initially been "Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere," effectively suppressing within a radius of 360 li. This was the range that reduced half of one's Dao Level and suppressed half of one's Mana. The reach of the Buddha Light was even greater.

The two ladies of Immortal City each had a hundred years of Dao cultivation, having practiced the Absolute Venerable's Demonic Destruction Treasure Scroll over the years. It was filled with various powerful techniques for exorcising and refining demons, growing increasingly refined and formidable.

They fully activated the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, bathing the land within a thousand li with Buddha Light.

But at that moment, the power of the Nine Suspicions Tripod caused the Buddha Light above the clouds to vanish, darkening the heavens above, while the sky below the clouds remained brilliantly illuminated with the Buddha Light.

Shi Feiyang continued casting, energizing the Chaos Core within the tripod to rotate, transforming the inside into a boundless Void World. The mouth of the Tripod ejected numerous golden stars and red lines that shot upwards for dozens of meters before curving outward and then downward, resembling a giant hanging plant or countless fishing lines rapidly extending.

Every golden star locked onto a piece of the monster's shattered body—large fragments as one piece, and smaller chunks as another—then quickly retracted back into the Tripod before casting out anew to fish for more.

The crowd was astounded by the spectacle.

Xuanyuan Dharma King, feeling unbearable pressure from the Seven Treasures Golden Banner and unable to withstand Qi Shuming's attacks even with his disciples' full effort, cursed loudly upon seeing this.

Grandmaster Ha Ha, however, mustered all his Mana, letting out a long howl that echoed through the mountains for miles, drowning out Xuanyuan Dharma King's curses: "Brother Shi, you too have deep-seated enmity with the Emei Sect and an irreconcilable feud with the Xie Family.

Why are you now assisting your enemies? Currently, we are all trapped within the Emei Sect's Liangyi Dust Formation, united in our hatred against a common foe to withstand this powerful enemy. If we were to perish, how could they let you go in the end? I fear you too would lose your life within this Evil Formation!"

Shi Feiyang replied with a clear and light laugh, "I need no one to meddle in whom I have grievances with. Since I am here, I'm not afraid of them targeting me. As for you all, my visit today isn't for the sake of seeking revenge, but rather because I find these monsters rather adorable and wish to capture some to keep as pets, nothing more."

He had disguised himself as Yue Yun to infiltrate the Emei Sect, spending several years with members of the sect, young and old.

But the people of the Emei Sect were unaware, from their perspective, Shi Feiyang, the Great Demon, had not appeared for a long time. Now that he had suddenly shown up, there must be some sinister and unspeakable scheme at play.

Knowing of his profound Mana and cunning stratagems, and that his actions could be both righteous and evil, it was difficult to discern his motives.

Many of the younger generation of the Emei Sect looked up, both yearning to unleash their Flying Sword Magical Treasures to attack him, and yet some also harbored worry and fear that he might suddenly make a move against them.

The four great experts, aware of his presence beforehand, were somewhat prepared.

Others, like the two ladies from Immortal City, Jiang Xuejun, Zhu Youmu, and the like, were experiencing a mix of emotions.

They considered the presence of their sect's senior members and thought, since this scoundrel had foolishly run into the Liangyi Dust Formation, they must not let this Great Demon escape today!

Shi Feiyang ignored what they thought and continued to "fish" for fragments of the monsters with the Nine Suspicions Tripod.

Grandmaster Ha Ha was also helpless and could only continue with his disciple to attack the Annihilation Gate to the direct east.

Once the Seven Treasures Golden Banner was triggered, all evil techniques were suppressed, with the targets locked by the two women of Immortal City being even more severely oppressed.

The Twelve Supreme Heaven Divine Slaughter that Grandmaster Ha Ha originally unleashed with earth-shattering force, creating a sky full of Fire Dragons, now turned into a bunch of fire loaches, struggling briefly in the Buddha Light before vanishing like smoke and clouds!

They had only heard of the formidable power of the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, but today they truly witnessed its might.

Inside the Annihilation Gate, Xie Shan was wielding the Heart Lamp Flower Lamp, continuously releasing a great deluge of Buddha Fire Light Rain.

At this moment, the Heart Lamp had no more oil, and the light it emitted was far from capable of annihilating the Blood Gods.

However, even so, it managed to melt holes the size of bowls into Grandmaster Ha Ha's Golden Buddha Body, leaving it riddled with holes after each downpour of the lamp rain.

And there were the two girls from Immortal City, each sitting below the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, one to the left and one to the right, casting one formidable spell after another from the Demonic Destruction Treasure Scroll. Other than Grandmaster Ha Ha, none of his disciples could withstand them, each one crying out in pain.

At the central Illusion Gate, the mystic screen of Evil Corpse Valley's Gu Chen was retracted, and all other means were also suppressed by the Buddha Light.

His Mystics Yin Soul Refining Formation, originally built from ninety-nine banners and infinitely powerful - though incomparable to the Liangyi Dust Formation - could twist space-time and create its own realm.

Now, suppressed by the Buddha Light of the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, the scale of the Mystics Yin Soul Refining Formation shrank to only a few acres. The monster Primordial Spirits trapped on it were like carrying invisible Taishan mountains on their backs, listless and struggling to move, their surrounding Evil Qi thinning to the point of being nearly nonexistent, and their flying speed became as slow as an eighty-year-old woman with bound feet!

Under the widespread illumination of Buddha's Light from the Golden Banner, he dared not resort to using the Three Corpse Incarnations. Otherwise, the Seven Treasures Golden Banner would immediately detect the presence of a demon soul, speeding up its rotation, and any formidable Primordial Spirits, Divine Demons, Essence, and so on would be absorbed by the Buddha Light and drawn to the Banner.

Without rescue, as the Banner turned, they would vanish like smoke and clouds, their soul scattering and dispersing!

Xuanyuan Dharma King was also greatly weakened and suppressed. His seven Divine Demons were about to be swept away by the Seven Treasures Golden Banner; fortunately, the Black Lotus beneath him was an odd treasure, which his former master, the Old Demon Cha Shuangying from West Sea, had seized from West Pole Mountain, along with a good amount of Mystics Yin True Water.

After nurturing it with True Water Essence for over a thousand years with his disciple, the Black Lotus had developed infinite marvelous uses.

With nine holes on the Black Lotus spewing out streams of Mystics Yin True Qi, it managed to hold both Xuanyuan Dharma King and the seven Demons from being swept away by the Buddha Light.

Xuanyuan Dharma King roared in anger. Although he still possessed a few formidable Magical Treasures, he couldn't unleash much power due to the suppression by the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, which made them vulnerable to destruction by the opponent. He just needed to hold off Qi Shuming here; to break the formation, they still had to rely on Grandmaster Ha Ha.

Therefore, among the three, Grandmaster Ha Ha and Evil Corpse Valley's Gu Chen were exerting themselves the most, while he was covertly preserving his strength on the side, casting spells to help the Sky Lusting Sect Leader resurrect.

The monsters, under the assault of the four great experts, devoured each other, leaving only four in the end.

Shi Feiyang collected part of the scattered fragments, and the rest entered the mouths of these four monsters.

The bodies of the four monsters rapidly changed; one moment dozens of arms sprouted here, the next moment many heads emerged there.

Finally, with a simultaneous long howl, they transformed into four people.

The four looked different from each other - two men and two women - paused briefly, and suddenly, shifting shape, they all rushed in one direction.

Although the Sky Lusting Sect Leader previously maintained a monster form, he was not at all foolish.

He saw that the key gates of the Liangyi Dust Formation were the central Illusion Gate, which had yet to be established, and with Qi Shuming bearing the edicts of the Heavenly God, with four great experts assisting from afar, it would be challenging to kill him shortly.

Another was the eastern Annihilation Gate, the hub of the entire matrix and key to breaking the formation. The external support there was also the strongest, with the high mana of Tian Meng, the old monk, needless to say, among the four he too was topnotch, with the Seven Treasures Golden Banner as the gatestopper, it was also impenetrable.

Therefore, they avoided the strong and attacked the weak, all rushing to attack the northeastern Ming Gate, guarded by Master Can Xia, the weakest link!

Each of these four fiends was fiercer and more ferocious than Xuanyuan Dharma King and Evil Corpse Gu Chen put together; combined as one, they were unstoppable and reached the Ming Gate in the blink of an eye.

Master Can Xia was seated in the gate, pouring all his energy into the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, spouting the Sun Immortal Fire.

Under the Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere of the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, the four monsters braved the Taiyin Pure Yang Immortal Fire and charged headlong into the Ming Gate without a second thought!

Master Can Xia had received the message early and protected himself with a Flying Sword and Magical Treasure. The Rainbow Sword was flipping up and down, surrounded by a multitude of Rainbow clouds.

The Emei Sect knew he was the weakest link and sent several disciples to assist; Zhuge Jingwo released Invisible Sword Qi, Yue Wen wielded the Golden Light Flying Sword, Yi Jing propped up the Treasure Umbrella and threw out the Anan Sword and Scattering Light Pills, and there was also Atong's Buddha Light and Yunluo's Immortal Miasma...

Yet, these seemed no more substantial than paper mache in front of the four monsters, as if nonexistent.

The four figures zigzagged through the barrage of Invisible Sword Qi, evading everyone's Flying Swords, penetrating through various clouds, poison mists, and Buddha Lights to arrive in front of Master Can Xia.

Only Yi Jing's Treasure Umbrella proved effective, keeping them at bay.

But when the four monsters collided with it, the Umbrella shook violently. One of the monsters then used a Mystics Yin Shifting Technique, and in a blur before everyone's eyes, all the Flying Swords, Treasures, and even the Umbrella were displaced dozens of miles away, leaving those present exposed and barebefore the Four Monsters, leading to a moment of tremendous shock and cold dread!
