Just like that, Xuanxiao and the other three headed to Mount Sumeru together. The mighty figures observing from the shadows thought, Oh-ho, Jieyin and Zhunti are about to get beaten again.
Meanwhile, Minghe in the Blood Sea was different. Seeing all those mighty figures constantly going to beat Jieyin and Zhunti, he felt that something was off. He thought, Could there be some benefit to beating them? Otherwise, these two are Dao Ancestor's disciples. Why does everyone keep wanting to hit them?
Before long, they arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru. Taiyi was the most forceful of them all. He struck first, raising a bell and smashing it into Mount Sumeru. "Jieyin, Zhunti, hurry up and come out to be beaten!"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti immediately activated the Mountain Protection Array. Using the Eight Treasures Merit Pool as its foundation and the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit as its core, they activated the Mountain Protection Array, preparing to refuse to come out no matter what.
Duang, duang, duang—the three bell strikes sent Mount Sumeru shaking. Taiyi said, "Those two bastards are refusing to come out. We won't be able to break in anytime soon."
Xuanxiao pondered for a moment before saying, "The Mountain Protection Array of Mount Sumeru should be connected to the Earth Veins. Wait for me." With that, he rushed straight to Wuzhuang Temple to borrow the Earth Book.
Inside Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi learned why Xuanxiao had come and said, "Mystic Emperor, isn't this taking things a little too far? If I help you disrupt the Earth Veins of Mount Sumeru, won't Jieyin and Zhunti come kill me after they Achieve Sainthood?"
Xuanxiao patted his chest. "If you join us in beating Zhunti this time, I'll give you a path to sainthood. How about it?"
Zhen Yuanzi was speechless for a moment. "Don't boast, Mystic Emperor. How could you possibly give someone a path to sainthood?"
Xuanxiao's expression changed. Throwing back his head, he said, "I guarantee it. I really can. If I can't, I'll steal my father's Primordial Violet Qi and give it to you." (Tongtian: You little brat, throwing your father under the bus... Xuanxiao: What's there to fear? Even without the Primordial Violet Qi, once Mother comes back and has my back, won't you still be a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal?)
Zhen Yuanzi's eyes lit up when he heard this. "I'll lend you the Earth Book. You break the array yourself. I won't take action. Is that acceptable?"
Xuanxiao nodded. "Of course." With that, he ran off carrying the Earth Book.
Not long afterward, at the foot of Mount Sumeru, Xuanxiao took out the Earth Book and said, "Stop hitting it. Watch me break its Mountain Protection Array." With that, he used the Earth Book to disrupt the Earth Veins, directly breaking the array.
Jieyin and Zhunti had no choice but to leave the mountain. Zhunti said, "Everyone, building my Mount Sumeru wasn't easy. Could you not tear down my Dojo?"
Xuanxiao nodded. "Fine, then we won't tear down Mount Sumeru. How about we fight in Chaos?"
Zhunti said helplessly, "Does it matter whether I agree or not? Let's go."
Afterward, Xuanxiao and the other three flashed into Chaos together with Jieyin and Zhunti. West Queen Mother took out the Kunlun Mirror and said, "Demon Master, go fight Zhunti for a round. I'll support you from the side. If he uses a Spiritual Treasure, I'll suppress him with the Kunlun Mirror."
The Kunlun Mirror was one of the strongest Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Its might even surpassed that of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, so West Queen Mother was not boasting.
Seeing this, Kunpeng immediately manifested his true form. "Zhunti, I won't bully you either. Let's fight without using Spiritual Treasures."
Zhunti helplessly manifested his Golden Body. "Then fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" With that, the Twenty-Four-Headed, Eighteen-Armed Golden Body charged straight at Kunpeng.
Kunpeng spread one wing and blocked the attack. Then, with a furious shout, he struck out with both claws and tore off one of Zhunti's arms.
After tearing off one of Zhunti's arms, Kunpeng displayed tremendous strength and offensive power. He let out a roar, his momentum growing even more ferocious. Zhunti, in his Golden Body, felt a burst of pain, but he showed no intention of retreating.
He sneered and adjusted his stance, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Kunpeng. Zhunti knew that this battle would not be easy, but he was not afraid.
Seeing that Zhunti showed no weakness, Kunpeng grew even more excited. He flapped his enormous wings, whipping up a gale that forced Zhunti's Golden Body back several steps.
Zhunti instantly decided on his next move. He circulated the magic power within his body, transforming it into a streak of golden light that shot straight toward Kunpeng. Kunpeng refused to yield either. He spread both claws, turning them into two razor-sharp talons that collided with Zhunti's golden light.
A fierce battle unfolded in the air. Their powers intertwined, producing deafening booms. Golden light constantly flickered across Kunpeng's body, while Zhunti's Golden Body radiated dazzling magical brilliance.
As the battle continued, Zhunti gradually displayed the true might of his Golden Body. His seventeen arms moved like the wind, and every attack brought a powerful wave of air that tore through space.
Kunpeng struggled to defend himself, but his strength gradually began to wane. He sensed Zhunti's boundless power and unyielding will. Zhunti's Golden Body was like an indestructible fortress, leaving Kunpeng feeling that it could not be overcome.
However, when he saw West Queen Mother cheering him on from the side, Kunpeng somehow found a surge of strength. He broke through directly, his momentum rising sharply. His twin claws struck out in succession, dismantling Zhunti's Golden Body into a rather harmonious state—well, one head and two arms.
