Cihang's mana surged around him, and the Jade Divine Seal had already been raised, radiating streaks of spiritual light.
"Weren't you quite impressive when you slaughtered my Demon Race before? Why aren't you continuing to attack now?"
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal looked at Cihang with utter mockery and disdain.
In his eyes, all of Cihang's preparations were utterly vulnerable.
"Demon Race Grand Unity—it's you?"
Cihang recalled the other party's identity. He was the Demon Race Grand Unity who had besieged the Witch Race that day.
Previously, due to the difference in cultivation and the distance between them, he had not remembered the man's appearance.
But now, looking into his eyes, Cihang found them exactly as they had been that day—contemptuous and filled with malice.
"Looks like you still remember me. If you had remained with the Witch Race, there would have been little I could do to you. But now, no one can save you!"
The Grand Unity Demon King did not attack immediately. Instead, he watched as though observing how an ant would struggle for survival.
In his eyes, Cihang had only succeeded before by taking advantage of a sneak attack.
If the Demon Race experts had been able to break free, how could they have given him the chance to alter the course of battle?
He was no more than a puny Golden Immortal ant.
"There is still one thing I don't understand. How did you discover me?"
Cihang's expression remained unchanged as he began probing for information.
After confirming the other party's identity, Cihang was no longer as nervous as before.
The man had mentioned only their old grudge. Perhaps he had not discovered that Cihang had taken the spiritual treasure.
"You can only blame your bad luck. A mere Golden Immortal actually dared to seize a spiritual treasure.
"I had no time to deal with you inside the formation before, but I still left a mark on you.
"I also advise you not to waste your effort. No matter how powerful your escape technique is, you cannot escape my control!"
The Grand Unity Demon King continued to look at Cihang with an arrogant expression.
Once he had determined that the other party had come only over a personal grudge, Cihang no longer had any misgivings.
With his current strength and foundation, it was not impossible for him to fight a Grand Unity.
What truly worried him was not a single Grand Unity Demon King, but the many cultivators competing for treasures.
"Jade Divine Seal, descend!"
Cihang launched the first attack. The divine seal tore through the void and smashed down toward the Demon King.
"Hm? Chiyu's Jade Seal actually fell into your hands?
"Did Chiyu also perish because of you?"
The Grand Unity Demon King's expression changed. With a wave of his hand, he sent a streak of divine light crashing toward the Jade Seal.
The moment he saw the Jade Seal, the Demon King could not help becoming more cautious.
"Divine Seal, suppress!"
Cihang shouted, and the divine seal instantly blazed with light. It shattered the demonic aura before continuing to suppress the Demon King.
"Crimson Radiance Protects the Body!"
The Demon King reacted instantly, using his Body Protection Divine Light to block the Jade Seal's suppression.
Cihang continued pouring in mana, directing the divine seal downward.
Ordinary Golden Immortals truly could not withstand even a single strike from a Grand Unity, but Cihang possessed both a Golden Immortal body and Golden Immortal primordial spirit. His foundation was deep, and his mana was not much weaker than that of an ordinary Grand Unity.
"I really did underestimate you, but this is as far as you go!"
After discovering Cihang's strength, the Grand Unity Demon King finally put away his contempt.
The Demon King produced a crimson feather fan. With a wave, it transformed into a sea of fire and attacked both the divine seal and Cihang.
"It is already too late to start taking me seriously now!"
Cihang had already completed the hand seals. The power of the Five Elements gathered around him, once again forming the Five Spirit Sacred Beasts.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The Five Spirit Sacred Beasts let out thunderous roars and instantly surrounded the Grand Unity Demon King, launching a fierce assault.
The Grand Unity Demon King's expression changed as he immediately condensed the power of the sea of fire around himself for protection.
At the same time, he repeatedly waved the feather fan, creating flaming divine birds that flew out from the sea of fire to intercept the Five Spirit Sacred Beasts.
The roars of beasts and cries of birds instantly spread through the mountains and forests.
The Five Spirit Sacred Beasts once again displayed their imposing and tyrannical might, powerfully tearing apart one flaming divine bird after another.
At the same time, they continuously battered the sea of fire.
The Jade Divine Seal had also transformed into an immeasurable divine mountain, descending in unending suppression.
"How is this possible? Are you truly only a Golden Immortal?"
Faced with Cihang's attacks, the Grand Unity Demon King was stunned beyond belief.
This was simply not combat power a Golden Immortal should possess.
"I am naturally only a Golden Immortal. You can only blame your excessive arrogance. Today, this calamity is yours to face."
Cihang formed another Magic Seal, and the power of the Five Elements gathered again, becoming streaks of lightning before him.
"Hmph, I admit that you have some skill. But you think this is enough to keep me here? How naive!"
The Grand Unity Demon King sneered and waved his hand, producing one spiritual treasure after another to strike at the Five Spirit Sacred Beasts.
"Divine lightning, descend!"
Five Elements thunderclouds gathered, evolving countless bolts of divine lightning that crashed down upon the Grand Unity Demon King.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Five Elements Divine Lightning merged with the Five Spirit Sacred Beasts, instantly forming a profound formation.
Lightning wrapped around the Five Spirit Sacred Beasts as they instantly pierced through the sea of fire's defenses.
"Not good."
The Demon King's expression abruptly changed, and he immediately recalled his spiritual treasures to defend himself.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The spiritual treasures collided with the Five Spirit Sacred Beasts, unleashing another heaven-shaking roar.
Watching the disturbance caused by the great formation, Cihang secretly frowned.
This could not continue. If it attracted the attention of other experts, trouble would surely follow without end.
"Creation Cauldron, descend!"
The moment the Creation Cauldron appeared, the Grand Unity Demon King's aura faltered. Terror immediately appeared on his face.
"A High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
He no longer cared about dealing with Cihang. He controlled his spiritual treasures to attack the Creation Cauldron while transforming into his true form and fleeing at top speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Creation Cauldron shattered one spiritual treasure after another before instantly smashing the Demon King to the ground.
A flash of creation divine light swept out, and the Demon King was drawn into the cauldron.
Cihang waved his hand and scattered a sheet of Holy Light of Purification, erasing the traces of both himself and the Demon King before swiftly leaving the area.
Not long after Cihang departed, streaks of escape light descended one after another.
However, aside from the ravaged mountain forest, they found nothing. The traces of the great battle had long been erased by the Holy Light of Purification.
To avoid another accident, Cihang did not stop his escape light until he had expended nearly half his mana.
Upon looking around, he found that he was already close to leaving Buzhou Mountain.
Seeing this, Cihang directly found a concealed location nearby, set up a formation, and entered the Glazed Grotto-Heaven.
Only after stepping into the Glazed Grotto-Heaven did Cihang finally let out a breath of relief.
After recovering a little mana, Cihang took out the spiritual treasure he had obtained earlier.
"I went through one danger after another for your sake. Don't disappoint me!"
As he spoke, Cihang withdrew the earth soil surrounding the spirit pearl.
Freed from the earth soil's restraints, the spirit pearl suddenly erupted with light and struggled desperately against Cihang's binding.
"Hmph, you still want to run after falling into my hands?"
Cihang circulated his mana and formed a giant hand that grabbed at the spirit pearl.
If they had been outside, subduing a spiritual treasure might have been somewhat troublesome. But within this grotto-heaven, he was the sole master.
Under the suppression of the grotto-heaven's power, the spirit pearl was instantly subdued.
At the same time, information regarding the spirit pearl entered Cihang's sea of consciousness.
"Earth Spirit Pearl, a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. It is quite good indeed."
The Earth Spirit Pearl radiated streams of light in Cihang's hand, continuously releasing Innate spiritual charm.
Though it was merely a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Cihang felt no dissatisfaction.
Even in the present primordial world, Innate Spiritual Treasures were incomparably precious. Countless cultivators sought spiritual treasures without ever obtaining one.
Some Great Luo cultivators were even unable to Sever Corpse and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm because they lacked Innate Spiritual Treasures.
As for cultivators who possessed high-grade, or even top-grade spiritual treasures, they were rarer still.
That was why Cihang did not dare use spiritual treasures casually.
