"Little friend, you've finally returned! This Old Dragon King can't hold out any longer!"
The Dragon King of the East Sea gazed at the returning Shi Yu with eyes full of hope. Little friend really was loyal—when he said he would return, he actually came back, even though his opponent was a Quasi-Saint.
"Bold!"
"Come! Today, I'll avenge Bifang!"
The spear in Demon Saint Yingzhao's hand trembled, blasting the Dragon King of the East Sea away. His aura erupted fully, and boundless Killing Intent coiled around the spear.
"Demon Saint Yingzhao, when will this cycle of vengeance ever end? How about this? I'll let you make three moves. If I withstand them, let's put this matter behind us."
"After all, Demon Saint Bifang was in the wrong first. There's a debtor for every debt. You can go find my master instead. He was the one who killed Demon Saint Bifang!"
Hearing this, Demon Saint Yingzhao laughed furiously. "Hmph! You'll let me make three moves? What an arrogant claim! You're merely a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Even a Quasi-Saint wouldn't dare be this overconfident!"
With that, he shook the spear in his hand. Killing Intent surged at its tip, and he thrust it forward.
"Taiji Diagram!"
Shi Yu smiled faintly. A huge scroll silently unfurled, and two yin-yang fish circled around him. Innate Pure Qi and Innate Turbid Qi easily withstood Demon Saint Yingzhao's attack.
"The Primordial Treasure, the Taiji Diagram!"
"You actually relied on the power of a Primordial Treasure! If you have the guts, stop using it!"
Demon Saint Yingzhao gritted his teeth. Even an attack from the Demon Emperor could not guarantee breaking through a Primordial Treasure's defense, much less his own.
"To show my respect, I'll only use the Taiji Diagram once!" Shi Yu withdrew the Taiji Diagram after making one move.
"Consider yourself capable for borrowing this treasure. You still have two moves left. Let's see how you deal with them!"
"Killing you only requires one move!"
Demon Saint Yingzhao pressed his advantage, and his second move followed immediately. The spear swept horizontally, whipping up fierce winds. Space shattered wherever it passed.
"Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!"
The yin-yang fish vanished, and an incomparably mysterious domain formed from Mysterious Yellow Qi enveloped Shi Yu.
"Big Bro Pagoda, can you hold out?"
"You're kidding! I'm Absolute Defense!"
The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda immediately shone brilliantly, and a phantom nine-story pagoda appeared before Shi Yu.
"Crack, crack~~"
Two sounds rang out. Each level of the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda displayed a special defensive effect, weakening the attack layer by layer. Demon Saint Yingzhao's full-powered strike only broke through two layers of defense.
"Sweetheart, is that attack of yours just tickling me?"
The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda mocked him. Such an attack had not excited him in the slightest.
"One move left!"
Demon Saint Yingzhao roared. Demonic power surged throughout his body, and he raised his spear high. In an instant, the spear transformed into a gigantic beast with a human face, horse body, and bird wings. The beast looked exactly like Demon Saint Yingzhao's true form.
"Let's see what other spiritual treasures you have to defend yourself!"
As far as Demon Saint Yingzhao knew, Sanqing possessed only two defensive Primordial Treasures. Shi Yu had now used both of them, and he wanted to see how Shi Yu would defend himself.
"Demon Saint Yingzhao, I rather like a certain saying: offense is the best defense!"
"So for my final attack, I never planned to defend. I'm attacking!"
Shi Yu held a white jade ruler in his left hand and a small banner in his right. He mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body and poured it into the two treasures as though it cost nothing.
"Bold!"
The giant beast formed from Demon Saint Yingzhao's spear carried rolling demonic power as it spread its wings and pounced at Shi Yu.
Seeing Shi Yu standing motionless, Demon Saint Yingzhao felt a trace of doubt flash through his heart, but his attack could no longer be withdrawn.
Suddenly, a powerful force locked him in place. No matter how he struggled, he could not move.
"What's going on?"
"You did this, didn't you?!"
Demon Saint Yingzhao roared furiously and struggled with all his might, but it was useless. The yin-yang fish and Mysterious Yellow Qi surrounded him.
The Taiji Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda were both serving him. This was the first time such a thing had happened since the creation of the world.
"That's right! I did it, Demon Saint Yingzhao!"
The white jade ruler in Shi Yu's left hand burst with light, transforming into tangible spiritual energy, while the small banner in his right hand began to emit chaotic energy.
"First, I used the Taiji Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to neutralize your attack and make you break through my defenses, so you couldn't think calmly."
"Then, for your final attack, you were bound to give it everything you had, leaving no time to think. That gave me my opening!"
"All that cultivation, wasted on you. Demon Saint, have you forgotten? To achieve one's goal, one must stop at nothing. That is the awareness cultivators of our generation should possess!"
Demon Saint Yingzhao's eyes widened as he glared at Shi Yu. Demonic power surged madly within him as he attempted to break free from the restraints of the two Primordial Treasures, but it was completely useless. The two treasures were even continuously refining him.
"Demon Saint Yingzhao, since you want so badly to avenge Demon Saint Bifang, go find him, then~"
"Ah, I forgot. There's no reincarnation yet. In that case, wait to be reduced to ashes!"
Shi Yu's gaze turned cold. He instantly summoned the Pangu Banner. As the banner unfurled, chaotic energy spread out, and when he swung it down, a stream of chaotic energy cleaved forth.
At the same time, he raised the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi high with his other hand. His figure flashed, and he appeared before Demon Saint Yingzhao in an instant, bringing it down viciously.
Demon Saint Yingzhao had nowhere to evade. Under the chaotic power of the Pangu Banner and the crushing force of the Hong Meng Liang Tian Chi,
"The Demon Clan will never let you off!"
Demon Saint Yingzhao let out a despairing shriek. His body was gradually annihilated by the two mighty forces before finally vanishing from the world.
"Demon Saint Yingzhao, have a safe journey!"
After confirming that not even a scrap of Demon Saint Yingzhao remained, Shi Yu put away the four Primordial Treasures.
The Dragon King of the East Sea sighed in relief and swam over to Shi Yu. "Little friend, this Old Dragon King owes you one. Without you, my old life would have ended here!"
"I finally killed a Demon Saint!"
"That's right, little friend. You're truly formidable, killing a Demon Clan Demon Saint who shook the Primordial World while only possessing the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"
The Old Dragon King spoke excitedly, but when he saw Shi Yu's face, he was genuinely startled.
Shi Yu's face was deathly pale, sweat poured down him like rain, his body swayed, and his breathing was ragged. He was utterly exhausted, relying solely on his willpower to keep from collapsing.
Once he confirmed that Demon Saint Yingzhao was dead, the taut string in him finally snapped, and he collapsed helplessly onto the ground.
The nine Demon Saints fighting the Nine Sons of Ancestor Dragon were startled. Demon Saint Yingzhao's aura had actually vanished. Could he have fallen...?
"You piece of trash! Because of you, our Demon Court has lost two Demon Saints! Pay with your life!" Ghost Chariot roared, shaking Ya Zi away before flying toward Shi Yu.
After being knocked back, Ya Zi steadied himself. His eyes were full of fury, and even his dragon whiskers stood rigid with anger. He snorted coldly.
"Hmph! Your Demon Clan invaded us, and you still blame little friend Shi Yu? You brought this fate upon yourselves!"
Ya Zi transformed into his true form, with a jackal's body and a dragon's head. An immortal sword was clenched in his mouth as he charged at Ghost Chariot on all four legs.
Ya Zi leaped up and blocked Ghost Chariot's path. Seeing this, Ghost Chariot had no choice but to engage him.
Although the other Demon Saints were concerned about Demon Saint Yingzhao, the remaining Sons of Ancestor Dragon held them back as well.
Above the East Sea
The sea wind howled, and the seawater churned violently. Di Jun was fighting Candle Dragon, and the entire sky above the East Sea had become their battlefield.
Di Jun hovered in midair. Behind him, the phantom of the Great Sun Golden Crow radiated True Sun Fire, dyeing half the sky crimson.
Candle Dragon's enormous ten-thousand-zhang body appeared and disappeared within the seawater. Its frigid aura was like a cold tide, darkening half the sky.
"Candle Dragon, I admit that you're powerful, but you're still far from being able to defeat me!"
Di Jun shook his head. The River Diagram and Luoshu floated up in his hands, and Primordial Stars evolved behind him. With a wave of his hand, the heaven-obscuring Primordial Stars crashed toward Candle Dragon.
Candle Dragon abruptly swung his massive body in the seawater, raising a gigantic wave ten thousand zhang high.
But against the evolved Primordial Stars, it was still clearly inadequate. The Primordial Stars broke through the water shield and slammed heavily into Candle Dragon's body.
The ten-thousand-zhang dragon body sank into the pitch-black sea...
"Big Brother, you're already gone, but please protect the Dragon Clan one more time!"
Candle Dragon, restored to his Innate Dao Body, clutched his chest and panted heavily. The Karma imposed by the Dragon Clan severely hindered his strength.
To deal with Di Jun, he had no choice but to take out a purple-gold dragon pearl, which contained immense dragon power.
