Shi Feiyang had predicted beforehand that with Chi You's resurrection, he would attempt a second massacre of the Central Plains, and it was essential to thoroughly eliminate him.

If not, not only would there be endless future troubles, but even the current calamities would increase unpredictably, leading to unforeseen consequences.

Therefore, although he appeared calm and casual, without much preparation beforehand, and only reacted passively later, he had actually devised a meticulous plan with Shi Zhu.

He used the Heavenly Mirror to reflect Chi You, allowing the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon to transform into Shi Zhu's form, attacking from both sides, catching Chi You off guard, splitting his body into nine parts, and pinning each part with the Xuanyuan Sword. Before Chi You could transform, he unleashed the Returning God Sound!

Guang Cheng, in the past, to accumulate ninety million merit, refined many Magical Treasures, many of which were used by later generations to destroy demons, sharing the merit with him.

Among these, the most explosively powerful was the Returning God Sound. Its formidable trait is not that it can destroy the heavens and earth, but that it can specifically extinguish one's Primordial Spirit. No matter how powerful the demon or ghost, even with an Undying Body, would be dispersed in one blow if hit by this.

Inside this treasure is the ancient Void Essence, which can no longer be found in the Human World, and even in the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, it exists only in a level of Taixu Heaven in the Taixu Immortal Mansion, nowhere else, exceedingly precious, more powerful than ordinary magical treasures refined from Nine Heavens Spiritual Energy. It is something feared by certain demons.

This treasure emerged from the Yuanjiang Treasure Ship and was handed to Shi Feiyang. After several sacrificial refinements, its usage was limited, but Chi You the Great indeed deserved its power.

Chi You's body was fragmented, the Xuanyuan Sword was extraordinary, his Primordial Spirit and body were chopped into nine parts. He was performing Divine Skills to attempt a self-detonation, inducing a great calamity.

The Returning God Sound descended from the heavens, itself a mass of golden light, concealed within the Mirror Light, inconspicuous. Chi You, distracted by casting, realized its danger only when it was near.

He sensed the aura of Void Essence, recognizing Guang Chengzi's old trick, and was immediately terrified. Before he could take any effective measure, the Returning God Sound exploded with a thunderous roar.

A deafening explosion, as if the heavens and the earth were being shattered, with golden light spreading, Spiritual Energy booming, forming a transparent air cloud with a diameter of dozens of miles.

The extremely light and agile Void Essence, upon dispersing into the atmosphere, swiftly rose upward.

Shi Feiyang rotated the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, the golden light swirled, capturing all this Essence Energy, and finally collecting it into the mirror.

Retrieving these Void Essence, he could later use the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Great Technique to sacrificially refine and restore it, but the power would be much diminished. Even though Shi Feiyang had prepared extensively beforehand, immediately collecting it with the Heavenly Treasure Mirror post-explosion, it still lost one-third of its power. Upon being refined again, the power was also reduced by a third.

Originally, this treasure could only be used twice, but Shi Feiyang could use it three times, the final use having only thirty percent of this explosion's power. Yet, for beings like Green Robe Ancestor, Shang Heyang with their Undying Bodies, it was still more than enough to obliterate them, completely annihilating them.

Chi You, with body and Primordial Spirit utterly blasted apart, shattered to dust, could be said to have had his body and soul destroyed.

However, Chi You the Great was not ordinary, his will exceptionally firm. His Primordial Spirit had also integrated many residual souls and memory fragments, initially fragmented, now even more so.

If left alone, those residual soul fragments carrying memories would soon dissipate with the wind, but those bearing will could exist a bit longer. In suitable circumstances, they might merge into spirit monsters, or randomly attach to insects, ants, nurturing their soul through the physical body, advancing from low to high levels, possibly regaining a human form after countless tribulations.

Shi Feiyang directly summoned the Heavenly Secret Demon God Lamp, absorbing all these residual soul fragments into the lamp.

Having slain Chi You, Shi Feiyang sent Shi Zhu to help clean the battlefield. Shi Zhu, with the power of the Cosmic Six Strange, was sent to assist Shi Pi the Elder and Fire Spirit God.

This way, four of the Cosmic Six Strange were gathered. During the battle against Chi You, Shi Zhu was suppressed everywhere, especially oppressed by the Twelve Heavenly Divine Swords, forcing him to rely on Arrays to dodge continuously, barely managing to entangle. However, in dealing with others, it was different; first, the Nine Xuanyuan Divine Swords transformed into dragon-shaped golden lights hundreds of feet long, slashing towards Shang Heyang. Shang Heyang's White Bone Heart-locking Hammers couldn't withstand a strike from the Xuanyuan Divine Swords, instantly piercing through nine skulls, then another nine, soon forming giant candied hawthorns, with dozens impaled on each sword.

The White Bone Heart-locking Hammer, a top-tier Magical Treasure, had its skulls impaled on the swords, wailing miserably, howling in agony, as a massive amount of Demon Fire black smoke spewed from their mouths, noses, and eye sockets.

Shi Zhu exhaled a mouthful of Immortal Energy, causing the nine sword lights to burst forth brilliantly, instantly shattering all the skulls above!

Shang Heyang swung the Demon Fire Golden Banner, releasing nine beams of thousand-zhang Demon Fire to burn fiercely.

Shi Zhu commanded the Xuanyuan Sword to continue charging forward, dispersing the Demon Fire. Shang Heyang then launched two more Magical Treasures, three White Bone Flying Forks, all of which were ground to dust by the Xuanyuan Sword. In the end, he used a White Bone Relic to protect himself, barely holding off the sword tip, his entire body blood-red, with fire spurting from every pore. Seeing Shi Zhu summon the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, knowing he couldn't win, he urgently called out loudly to Cang Xu Elder for help.

Cang Xu Elder sent the Heavenly Demon Star Sand to match the Pure Bamboo and used the Dutian Divine Evil Demon Light from his back to block the Xuanyuan Sword. At the first encounter, he was taken aback: how is there another such formidable expert!

The Fire Spirit God recognized the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, transmitted a message to the Elder Shi Pi, who briefly explained the reincarnation of the Old Kuzhu. The Fire Spirit God was still skeptical, constantly sneaking glances at Shi Zhu from the Fire Cloud thousands of miles away, puzzled: how could someone as aloof and proud as Old Kuzhu willingly reincarnate and take someone as a master? Even if Shi Feiyang's status was special and his Divine Skills vast, that shouldn't be enough, right?

Shi Zhu had not recovered his past life's memories, but he keenly sensed the Fire Spirit God constantly looking at him from within the Fire Cloud over a thousand miles away, initially thinking this Demon Lord harbored some malicious intent towards him, possibly even planning to betray him secretly. However, he quickly realized the other party was merely curious and understood in a flash: My master said I was the reincarnation of Old Kuzhu among the Cosmic Six Strange and Great Wilderness Elders in my past life, and since Elder Shi Pi was also one of the Cosmic Six Strange, he should know my identity, and it's likely this Demon Lord is also my old acquaintance...

The three of them, part of the Cosmic Six Strange, joined forces, and Cang Xu Elder was no match, not to mention the Green Robe Ancestor and Shang Heyang with their Undying Bodies, who were quickly defeated.

The more Elder Shi Pi fought, the fiercer he became, using the Five Mountains Divine Peaks to repeatedly smash down. Shi Zhu's Xuanyuan Nine Palace Divine Sword was also formidable, but in a moment of distraction, it was knocked over by the Six Roots Pure Bamboo, breaking the Demon Sand Star Fire, and was pushed to the ground. If not for his high Mana and spiritual awareness, his senses might've been instantly sealed off.

Cang Xu Elder wasn't quite sharp-minded, but not foolish either. Knowing he couldn't win and further fighting would lead to a total defeat, he wisely didn't entangle himself further. He swiftly let out a howl, grabbed his red and green grandsons with both hands, and transformed into a beam of Demon Light shooting straight to the northwest, disappearing within moments.

Shi Feiyang continued playing the "Great Saint Demon Suppressing Song" at the sky's zenith. The previous tune was more focused, mainly countering Chi You, but this time it spread broadly, with the sound reaching thousands of miles, the melody still high and mighty.

Though there were quite a few beasts on land, it was the Demon Beasts in the sea that were the main concern. Not only were they numerous, but also of enormous size. The Xuanmou that could knock over the Buzhou Mountain Treasure Peak on land wasn't enough to be a single bite for those gigantic creatures in the sea.

The dense sound waves gathered on the East Sea, each stronger than the last, each higher-pitched than the previous, quickly dissolving the wild winds and huge waves, hailstorms, and tsunamis stirred up by the Demon Beasts under the influence of the zither music.

Due to the vast number and large size of the Demon Beasts, even the Immortals from overseas and the Daoist Soldiers from the Yu Country in the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain couldn't gain a clear advantage. At this time, when the zither music began to suppress the opponent and boost their own side with encouragement, the tide of battle soon turned.

Shi Feiyang observed that the main force of the Demon Beasts was in the Bohai, and the energy from the zither music gathered there in large quantities. The Demon Beasts fought back desperately, the energies of both sides clashing and exploding, causing the waters of Bohai to surge in all directions, with waves nearly a hundred zhang high along the coastline of Bohai Bay.

Shi Feiyang quickly used the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler to release a ten thousand zhang streak of Hongmeng Purple Qi, surrounding the Bohai Bay, stopping the giant waves, but even so, large amounts of seawater still poured into Tianjin and Shandong.

Thinking this couldn't continue, he directed the Heavenly Treasure Mirror towards Bohai, releasing large amounts of Ren Water Essence, and employed the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Great Technique, causing the waters of Bohai to flow outward. Before long, the entire inside of Bohai was emptied of water, creating a truly enormous and broad path to the heavens...

A large number of Demon Beasts were left on the dried seabed. Bohai was relatively shallow, with an average depth of less than a hundred zhang, and not much total water volume.

These Demon Beasts were ferocious, but without the water, many of their divine powers and transformations were lost. A multitude of fish, turtles, shrimp, crabs, snakes, flood dragons, and other various aquatic creatures were packed together, slipping and writhing as they moved around chaotically.

Shi Feiyang expanded the range of the Heavenly Mirror's light, enveloping them all within, asking whether they were willing to retreat.

There were at least two to three million of these Demon Beasts, and Shi Feiyang was not a bloodthirsty person. He didn't want to kill them all, so he halted the attacks of Green Robe Ancestor, Tianqian Mountain's boy, Zhenyue Divine Monarch, and others. As long as they were willing to retreat and swear to never return to the waters near Central Earth, they were allowed to leave.

In any case, a few years from now, when the End of Dharma Era arrives, and their Mana disappears, they would not be able to continue sustaining their lives.

Without Mana, they can't absorb nature's spiritual energy and must rely solely on food to sustain themselves. With bodies measuring hundreds or even thousands of zhang in length, they won't find enough food, and in the end, they will all starve to death.

Moreover, for such giant ocean creatures, without Mana for protection, things that weren't their natural enemies could now become threats. Most likely, before starving, they'd be hunted and eaten by other smaller species that can better adapt to the new environment and move in groups.
