Jieyin and Zhunti's Tragedy

And so, Xuanxiao and the other three headed to Mount Sumeru together. The great powers secretly observing thought, "Oh boy, Jieyin and Zhunti are going to get beaten up again."

Meanwhile, Minghe in the Sea of Blood felt differently. Seeing how many great powers enjoyed beating up Jieyin and Zhunti, he found it odd. He mused, "Is there some benefit to beating them up? Otherwise, given that these two are disciples of the Dao Ancestor, why would so many people want to hit them?"

Before long, they arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru. Taiyi was the most proactive. He struck first, raising a bell and smashing it towards Mount Sumeru, shouting, "Jieyin, Zhunti, come out and take your beating!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti immediately activated their mountain protection formation. Using the Eight Treasures Merit Pool as the foundation and the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit as the core, they set up the formation, intending to resolutely stay put.

With three resounding "Duang, Duang, Duang" impacts, Mount Sumeru shook. Taiyi exclaimed, "These two scoundrels are refusing to come out. We can't break in anytime soon."

Xuanxiao pondered for a moment and said, "The mountain protection formation of Mount Sumeru should be connected to the earth veins. Wait for me." With that, he headed straight for Wuzhuang Temple to borrow the Earth Book.

Inside Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi learned of Xuanxiao's intentions. He said, "Xuan Emperor, isn't this plan a bit too ambitious? If I help you disrupt Mount Sumeru's earth veins, won't Jieyin and Zhunti seek revenge on me when they Achieve Sainthood?"

Xuanxiao patted his chest and replied, "If you participate in beating Zhunti this time, I'll give you a path to Sainthood, how about it?"

Zhen Yuanzi was speechless. "Don't brag, Xuan Emperor. How can you possibly bestow a path to Sainthood?"

Xuanxiao's expression changed. He tilted his head back and declared, "I guarantee I can do it. If I can't, I'll steal my father's Primordial Violet Qi and give it to you." (Tongtian: You brat, you're embarrassing your father... Xuanxiao: What's there to fear? Even without the Primordial Violet Qi, once Mother returns, she'll protect you, and you'll still be a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal!)

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up. "I'll lend you the Earth Book. You can break the formation yourself. I won't make a move, is that acceptable?"

Xuanxiao nodded. "Of course." He then ran off with the Earth Book.

Not long after, at the foot of Mount Sumeru, Xuanxiao took out the Earth Book and announced, "Stop fighting, everyone. Watch me break their mountain protection formation." With that, he used the Earth Book to disrupt the earth veins, directly shattering the formation.

Jieyin and Zhunti had no choice but to emerge from the mountain. Zhunti pleaded, "Everyone, the establishment of our Mount Sumeru was not easy. Can you please not destroy our dojo?"

Xuanxiao nodded. "Alright, we won't destroy Mount Sumeru then. How about a battle in Chaos?"

Zhunti sighed helplessly. "Does my disagreement even matter? Let's go."

Following that, Xuanxiao and his three companions, along with Jieyin and Zhunti, flickered into Chaos. West Queen Mother took out the Kunlun Mirror and said, "Demon Master, you fight Zhunti. I'll cover you. If he uses a Spiritual Treasure, I'll suppress it with the Kunlun Mirror."

The Kunlun Mirror was one of the most powerful Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, its might even surpassing the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. Therefore, West Queen Mother wasn't exaggerating.

Upon seeing this, Kunpeng immediately revealed his true form and declared, "Zhunti, I won't bully you. Let's fight without any Spiritual Treasures."

Zhunti, resigned, manifested his golden body. "Fine, let's fight. Are you afraid of me?" With that, his twenty-four-headed, eighteen-armed golden body lunged at Kunpeng.

Kunpeng unfurled a single wing to block, then let out a fierce roar and struck out with both claws, tearing off one of Zhunti's arms.

Kunpeng's tearing off of Zhunti's arm showcased his immense power and offensive capabilities. He roared, his aura growing even more ferocious. Zhunti, in his golden body form, felt a surge of pain but showed no signs of retreating.

He sneered, readjusted his stance, and stared intently at Kunpeng with piercing eyes. Zhunti knew this battle would be difficult, but he felt no fear.

Seeing Zhunti's unwavering resolve, Kunpeng became even more excited. He flapped his massive wings, whipping up a gale that forced Zhunti's golden body back several steps.

Zhunti instantly decided on his next move. He channeled the magic power within him, transforming into a golden light that shot directly towards Kunpeng. Kunpeng, not to be outdone, spread his claws, which turned into two sharp blades, and clashed with Zhunti's golden light.

A fierce battle unfolded in the air, their powers intertwining and emitting deafening roars. Kunpeng's body continuously shimmered with golden light, while Zhunti's golden body radiated a brilliant magical aura.

As the battle progressed, Zhunti gradually revealed the true power of his golden body. His seventeen arms moved like the wind, each strike generating powerful shockwaves that tore through space.

Kunpeng struggled to defend, but his strength began to wane. He felt Zhunti's boundless power and unwavering will. Zhunti's golden body was like an unbreachable fortress, making Kunpeng feel insurmountable.

However, seeing West Queen Mother cheering him on from the side, Kunpeng found an inexplicable surge of strength and broke through. His aura suddenly intensified, and his claws struck out repeatedly, dismantling Zhunti's golden body into a more harmonious state – a head and two arms.
