Shi Feiyang emerged from underground and looked up at the giant monster in the sky, slightly shocked.

This thing is huge!

Previously, inside the cave, that creature didn't undergo much change before it was collected into the Nine Suspicions Tripod, so its size wasn't apparent. But now, outside, compared to the surrounding mountains and earth, its enormity became obvious.

Especially next to Grandmaster Ha Ha's hundred-zhang Golden Buddha, these monsters made it look like mere "peas."

The Liangyi Dust Formation could isolate the inside from the outside, seal the heavens and block the earth, cutting off space and time. Except for the person who set up the formation, the outside couldn't sense the inside, and the inside couldn't sense the outside.

However, the formation set up by Qi Shuming and his group wasn't completely successful and only exhibited a part of its isolating ability; therefore, Shi Feiyang sensed the arrival of Xuanyuan Dharma King from the outside.

Not only Xuanyuan Dharma King, but also Evil Corpse Gu Chen! Back during the incident at Yuan River, he was severely injured by Huo Wuhai, who broke his Second Primordial Spirit and reduced his Dao Level, causing him significant Primordial Qi damage, and he hadn't appeared for many years.

Although he was thousands of miles away, he still sensed the call of his master and hastened here to free his master from the trap and facilitate his revival!

This fellow and Xuanyuan Dharma King, one from the Northwest and the other from the Southeast, one released the Seven Evil Yin Divine Curtain and the other the Seven Evil Yin Divine Curtain, both spanning thousands of miles, converging towards the Central Palace in a pincer attack.

Xuanyuan Dharma King attacked from the East, targeting Ming Gate, guarded by Zhou Qingyun, while Evil Corpse Gu Chen fiercely attacked the Ming Gate, guarded by Master Can Xia in the Northwest.

Whether it was Ming Gate or Zhou Qingyun, both were teetering on the brink of collapse, and both locations could be breached by the enemy at any moment!

Shi Feiyang saw Grandmaster Ha Ha collecting the "Netherworld Phoenix." After thinking briefly, he transformed again into the "octopus monster" he had previously taken away.

He also flew into the sky, above the "Netherworld Phoenix," with a size of over ten thousand zhang, spreading all one thousand eight hundred tentacles to embrace and forcibly pull up the "Netherworld Phoenix."

When Grandmaster Ha Ha cultivated these monsters, he used a type of blood curse to restrict their Primordial Spirits and bodies, hence he could subdue them.

The "Netherworld Phoenix" was captured by the golden light emitted from Grandmaster Ha Ha's Dharma Seal, forcibly compressed, and continually decreased in size, shrinking to just over three thousand zhang.

"What are you?"

All the monsters were avatars of the Heavenly Lustful Sect Leader, naturally having some spiritual connection. So even though Shi Feiyang made his appearance exactly the same, the "Netherworld Phoenix" instantly perceived something was amiss.

"I am the Ancestor of All Demons!" Shi Feiyang announced this title to the "Netherworld Phoenix."

"The Ancestor of All Demons? I haven't heard of it."

"Whether you've heard of it doesn't matter. The main point is I can save you!" Shi Feiyang's true form was a giant Black Dragon, so transforming into a monster was somewhat within his comfort zone.

He continued to hold the "Netherworld Phoenix" and pulled upwards, struggling against Grandmaster Ha Ha.

The Dharma Seal of Grandmaster Ha Ha was specifically designed to deal with those forty-eight monsters and couldn't affect "outsiders."

He looked up to see Shi Feiyang appear and thought another "monster" had arrived, bellowing loudly. He expanded the beam of light to envelop Shi Feiyang, hoping to capture him as well.

To his surprise, once the golden light enveloped Shi Feiyang, it had no effect on his Primordial Spirit.

"Ah?" Grandmaster Ha Ha broke out in a cold sweat, his first thought being that the Sky Lusting Sect Leader was starting to merge and was about to revive, breaking the restraints on their Primordial Spirits!

This shock was no small matter; Grandmaster Ha Ha nearly hopped on the spot, ready to flee!

Nobody else knew, but he was well aware of how he had treated the Heavenly Lustful Sect Leader over the past thousand years.

In his hands, the Heavenly Lustful Sect Leader's experience was comparable to Abyss Hell!

With the soul constantly being split, the body burned, submerged, pierced with needles, tormented with various spells, and even forced to devour each other's avatars.

After enduring and being refined by numerous methods through flesh and soul, experiencing countless splits and fusions, the Heavenly Lustful Sect Leader, upon revival, would certainly seek to kill him first!

Grandmaster Ha Ha felt guilty as a thief; his fright at the moment caused him to be unresponsive, not realizing the monster above was fake.

Feeling guilty, Shi Feiyang keenly detected this and quietly cast the Heavenly Secret Demon Technique, subtly manipulating and impacting his thoughts and Primordial Spirit from afar.

If it were any ordinary time, let alone Shi Feiyang, even Deng Yin would not be able to affect Grandmaster Ha Ha's thoughts with Magic.

But under the special circumstances, as Grandmaster Ha Ha was terrified by the imminent revival of the Heavenly Lustful Sect Leader, the Demon Path's Great Technique took advantage of this fear, amplifying it dramatically.

Grandmaster Ha Ha instinctively felt that the forty-eight monsters were about to merge and revive the Heavenly Lustful Sect Leader. Terror-stricken, he roared angrily, dissipated the Seal in his hand, and with a pointed finger upwards, released nine beams of golden light.

The Xuanyuan Nine Palace Divine Sword!

Ever since they were taken by Grandmaster Ha Ha at Yuan River and carefully cultivated for over a decade.

He knew these Nine Swords were of great importance, with several powerful beings desiring to take them, hence he was always reluctant to use them lightly. Even though he had fought against the Emei Sect for so long, he had used other Magical Treasures, saving these Nine Palace Divine Swords for later.

Once unleashed now, they transformed into nine beams of golden light, each over a hundred zhang long, resembling nine dragons ascending to heaven, seemingly piercing the sky!

The Nine Swords first pierced into the body of the "Netherworld Phoenix," slashing left and right, picking and stabbing. The golden sword light exploded and interwove, shredding the "Netherworld Phoenix" into pieces in an instant!

He intended to also tear Shi Feiyang into pieces along with it, but Shi Feiyang sensed the opportunity early and released the "Netherworld Phoenix," soaring thousands of feet higher to avoid the sword tip.

Though the "Netherworld Phoenix" was sliced up, it didn't die; instead, its entire body dispersed into shadows both large and small, each shadow becoming a separate bird species, with peacocks, phoenixes, partridges, and sparrows.

From these shadows radiated many viscous, black flames. The flames burned slowly and, although not fiercely, they were able to delay and obscure the sword light of the Xuanyuan Nine Swords.

Grandmaster Ha Ha's mind was disturbed, and Qi Shuming saw an advantage. He launched a fierce attack with the Golden Fierce Fire Sword and the Invisible Sword Energy from the Taicing Mysterious Sect while also unleashing the Taiyin Pure Yang Immortal Fire from the not yet repositioned "Illusion Gate" towards Grandmaster Ha Ha and his disciples.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Emei Sect, who were inside the Underground Palace, all ran out, along with Atong, Yunluo mother, and the just freed Yue Yun and her disciple.

All kinds of Flying Sword Magical Treasures assaulted Grandmaster Ha Ha in a surge. Others might have been manageable, but after fusing, the Purple and Blue Double Swords transformed into a hundred-yard-long Purple and Blue Sword Rainbow and boldly led the charge at the forefront.

Grandmaster Ha Ha's various methods were all unable to block it. The sword rainbow pierced through the Demon Fire, penetrated the "Buddha Light," cut through dozens of Fire Dragons, and even sliced apart a Demon Banner.

Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun truly showed bravery. The two joined forces with their Dual Sword Fusion, wrapped in the sword rainbow, cutting through all obstacles, and finally cleaved Grandmaster Ha Ha's Golden Light Dharma Body diagonally from shoulder to lower back into two pieces!

Grandmaster Ha Ha, multitasking in three ways, was unexpectedly struck by two juniors from the Emei Sect. In a moment of crisis, he broke off a small fingertip to use a decoy body substitution tactic, which was then chopped by the Purple and Blue Double Swords; his true form turned into a yellow flame and flew away.

The Eighteen Arhats were vigorously attacking Qi Shuming when suddenly they saw their master's Dharma Body cut in half, and they were swarmed with dense attacks from behind: Galaxy Sword, Xuan Ying Sword, Seven Cultivation Swords, Anan Sword, Invisible Sword, Divine Yu Order, Thunderbolt...

Disciples of the Emei Sect from several past lives also had strong cultivation levels. For example, Li Yingqiong had gained sixty years' worth of Mana from the Saintess Jiayin at the Illusion Wave Pool.

Using the most powerful strange and rare treasures in the world, they attacked Grandmaster Ha Ha both from the front and rear, hitting him so suddenly that he was thrown into complete disarray.

Grandmaster Ha Ha reappeared in the air, his face full of rage, preparing to cast magic to summon back the Xuanyuan Nine Swords to wreak havoc upon the younger generation of the Emei Sect.

But as he cast his spells in rapid succession, the nine swords did not return.

It turned out that Shi Feiyang, in the extremely high sky, had opened a giant mouth filled with sharp teeth.

Although he had taken on the appearance of an octopus monster, he lacked the divine powers of one. His gaping maw could only swallow things on the level of the Black Dragon at most. It would have been believable if he swallowed some of the "Netherworld Phoenix" pieces, but it was unthinkable for him to dare swallow the Xuanyuan Nine Swords.

Thus, he made a clever move by holding the Nine Suspicions Tripod in the monster's mouth, hidden deep in the throat.

From his position highest in the sky, tens of thousands of feet from the ground below, most people could not see his specific actions. Those who could see him were too preoccupied with their intense dueling.

Activating the Nine Suspicions Tripod, the stars and red threads hidden in the mouth, the light within tens of thousands of feet radius was absorbed, darkening that particular area. Other places were deliberately suppressed by him, showing no change.

Aligning with the Nine Palace Divine Sword, he sucked forcefully, and the nine swords were all pulled through the air, flying away from the fragmented body of the "Netherworld Phoenix" directly towards his mouth.

Just as Grandmaster Ha Ha was summoning the Xuanyuan Nine Swords, they had already reached his mouth, suddenly gaining immense force as if about to flee downward.

Shi Feiyang, who had the ducks at his mouth, couldn't let them escape. He lowered his massive body, whose huge mouth met the descending swords while he increased the Nine Suspicions Tripod's suction force.

The stars and red threads enveloped the swords, and Shi Feiyang forcibly activated the Nine Suspicions Tripod. In a moment, all nine Flying Swords were absorbed into the tripod!

"Ah?" Grandmaster Ha Ha was shocked again!

He was very familiar with these monsters' abilities, knowing that they were not real demons, nor did they act instinctively like other Demon Beasts, mindlessly biting anything in sight without being skilled in swallowing.

He acquired the Xuanyuan Nine Swords only to have them crafted to be the nemesis of these monsters; he disciplined the creatures many times over the past decade with the nine swords, severing their bodies piece by piece, turning them into wisps of black smoke, then resurrecting them through spells, and coerced them into obedience.

In his understanding, these monsters should feel fear at the sight of the Xuanyuan Nine Swords and think of fleeing, never daring to swallow the swords.

Even if they did swallow them, he could still control the nine swords to drill in and out of their stomachs at will, grinding them to a pulp!

Yet now that the swords were swallowed, they completely disconnected from him; no matter how he gestured and cast spells, there was no response, as if they had vanished from the world!

Grandmaster Ha Ha, his Dharma Body shattered and entangled with the Xuanyuan Nine Swords, watched as Qi Shuming and the disciples of the Emei Sect simultaneously attacked from both sides, managing to repel his eighteen disciples, and forcefully occupied the Central Palace position.

Two opposing Array Gates rose simultaneously, opened across from each other, shooting out ten thousand rays of colored light, illuminating heaven and earth!

Qi Shuming flew into one of the doors, sat down cross-legged, with the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl suspended above his head, shimmering with light.

He used the Emei Sect's secret technique to communicate to all other locations: All six gates are now in place; let's fully activate the Array!

As the Liangyi Dust Formation was on the verge of completion, Grandmaster Ha Ha's eyes turned red, knowing that once the Array was activated and sealed, he would be completely cut off from the outside. Unless he could break through the Array, he couldn't even think of escaping and would be refined, his body and soul destroyed without leaving even a fraction of his spirit behind.

He fiercely attacked the Array Gates, Qi Shuming focused on the leading attack, commanding every other location to simultaneously drive the Array's operation, intending to harness the Heavenly powers and bring forth the full might of the Liangyi Dust Formation.

At that moment, the Array Gate to the East was breached!

Xuan Zhenzi was formidable, his Dao Level high, his Mana strong, and he could leverage the Annihilation Gate.

Yet, despite his strength, he couldn't withstand the combined assault from over forty monsters and the Xuanyuan Dharma King and his disciples.

Managing to hold on till now already showcased the elegance of the Emei Sect's Chief Elder.

Unfortunately, just one step short, he ultimately succumbed to collapse as the Array Gate was broken through soon after Qi Shuming's Illusion Gate returned to its position!
