Chiyou Temporarily Retreats

On the battlefield, Zhao Gongming staggered backward, his face no longer showing any composure.

A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he couldn't hold it in any longer. He spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood, staining his chest red.

That's it?

Xingtian, carrying his Gan Qi, stood in mid-air, his copper bell-like eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

"Jie Sect Disciple dares to obstruct my Witch Clan?"

Zhao Gongming's face turned ashen, filled with shame and anger.

Being brutally injured by a Prehistoric World native was something he simply couldn't accept!

[Godlike Physical Body][Godlike Recovery] Passive triggered.

His wounds were healing at a visible speed, and although his breathing was still disordered, he had stabilized his decline.

Zhao Gongming made a hand seal, Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls flew up again.

"Court death."

A fierce glint flashed in Xingtian's eyes, and he no longer held back.

Time and again, Zhao Gongming was suppressed by Xingtian, but he refused to admit defeat.

How come this Transmigrator can't beat the natives of the Prehistoric World?!

The [God-level Recovery] modifier has an incredibly powerful effect.

No matter how severe the injury, Zhao Gongming could recover quickly.

"This guy... he's indestructible?"

Xingtian grew increasingly terrified as he fought.

He was Great Witch, with an unparalleled physical body and overwhelming murderous aura, rarely encountering an opponent of his rank.

But this Jie Sect Disciple in front of him, despite being inferior in cultivation and having his supernatural powers and magical treasures countered by him, was somehow impossible to kill!

Could Zhao Gongming be the reincarnation of some Ancestral Witch?

On the Ji River, in front of the You Xiong Tribe.

Ji Xuanyuan's eyes reddened as he watched the extremely fierce battle high in the sky.

He never expected that Zhao Gongming would go to such lengths for the sake of Human Race!

By this time, Chiyou was already getting impatient.

"Xingtian, are you kidding me? Quickly finish him off and raze the You Xiong Tribe to the ground!"

Chiyou's roar was like a thunderclap.

Xingtian's eyes blazed with fury; he was finally truly enraged.

He roared to the sky, his body suddenly rising higher, transforming into a towering giant.

Xingtian gripped his Gan Qi with both hands, gathering all his killing intent and power, and slashed down fiercely at Zhao Gongming, who was already covered in blood!

Zhao Gongming realized he had gone too far and was asking his system for help.

Ying Yuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly appeared between Zhao Gongming and Xingtian.

A hazy, gray pearl, imbued with endless moisture and ancient Dragon Might, flew out from between his brows and hovered above his head.

Ancestral Dragon Bead!

"Waters of the four seas, heed my command!"

Ying Yuan shouted in a low voice, but his voice carried far and wide.

The Ancestral Dragon Bead Pearl shone brightly, and a beam of azure light shot into the sky and disappeared into the Yun Xiao.

"Boom--!"

Above the nine heavens, it seemed as if an immeasurable ocean was hanging upside down.

The endless waters of the Heavenly River surged forth from nowhere, sweeping across the heavens and earth, and crashed down upon the Jiuli!

"What?!"

Chiyou's expression changed.

He hadn't expected that Ying Yuan's true strength was actually at the Early Quasi-Saint.

"Form ranks! Resist!"

Although Chiyou was startled, he remained calm and shouted loudly.

The Jiuli warriors reacted extremely quickly, instantly forming a profound witch Witch Clan battle formation.

The overwhelming malevolent energy gathered and transformed into a massive blood-red shield above the military formation, blocking the endless stream of true water descending from the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The real water and the shield of malevolent energy collided violently, producing a deafening roar.

The advance of the Jiuli was abruptly halted by this sudden and endless flood.

Xingtian's sure-kill strike was also forced to change direction, cleaving towards the raging floodwaters to relieve pressure on the army formation.

"Ying Yuan, you..." Zhao Gongming never expected Ying Yuan to save him.

Moreover, Ying Yuan's true strength is actually that of Quasi-Saint?!

How could he possibly accept this!

Zhao Gongming immediately realized that Ying Yuan definitely wanted to use this opportunity to seize more of the Human Way Destiny.

Most importantly... Ying Yuan and Yun Xiao are getting too close!

Zhao Gongming, controlling the larger head with the smaller one, quickly figured out the reason.

Ying Yuan's rescue of Zhao Gongming was indeed partly due to Yun Xiao's influence.

But he never expected that Zhao Gongming would also be interested in Yun Xiao and even see him as a rival in love.

"A great opportunity!"

Guangchengzi, who had been observing coldly, suddenly had a glint in his eyes.

When Ying Yuan unleashed the Ancestral Dragon Bead to desperately block the Jiuli.

Guangchengzi took out the Heaven-Overturning Seal and smashed it towards Ying Yuan.

This top-grade acquired Lingbao, refined from a portion of Buzhou Mountain, can unleash the power of Innate Supreme Treasure whenever it is used against Jie Sect Disciple after being enhanced by the system.

Guangchengzi's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Today, I will clean house for my martial uncle and rid him of you, who has disrupted the sage's chess game!"

"Uncle- Martial Uncle Tongtian wouldn't make things difficult for my Chan Sect for the sake of a dead disciple!"

The reasons are high-sounding, but the murderous intent is naked and ferocious.

Just as the Heaven-Overturning Seal was about to strike Ying Yuan's back,

The Chaos Bead suddenly appeared above Ying Yuan's head, bursting forth with a hazy, chaotic Chaos Divine Light!

That Chaos Divine Light seemed to form its own nascent world, containing earth, fire, water, and wind, and evolving Space-Time, cause, and effect.

The Heaven-Overturning Seal crashed into it, but it couldn't even stir up the slightest ripple.

"The Chaos Bead?!"

Guangchengzi gasped in shock, his eyes flashing with unbelievable greed and horror.

The Ancestral Dragon Bead is one thing, but what on earth is this Chaos Bead?!

Ying Yuan gave Guangchengzi no chance to react at all.

The Chaos Bead shone even brighter, enveloping him and the heavily injured Zhao Gongming as they fled the battlefield.

Damn it!

Guangchengzi roared angrily, his divine sense sweeping wildly, but he could no longer detect any trace of Ying Yuan and Zhao Gongming.

Not only did he fail to kill Ying Yuan, but he also completely exposed his murderous intent towards the disciples of the Interception Sect, leaving a terrible impression on Ji Xuanyuan.

An eerie silence suddenly fell over the banks of the Ji River.

At the forefront of the Jiuli, Chiyou, riding on Xiong Tie's back, witnessed everything that had just happened.

"Tsk tsk tsk... It seems there's quite a bit of conflict Chan and Jie Sects."

Chiyou muttered to himself, his tone unreadable, yet it sent a chill down Xiong Tie's spine.

The boss's tone is not good...

"Let's retreat for now. Guangchengzi is Primordial Origin Golden Immortal; we are no match for him."

The Jiuli, however, obeyed orders and, under Chiyou's leadership, temporarily left the banks of the Ji River.

Before the You Xiong Tribe, the survivors looked at each other, feeling both relieved and confused.

Ji Xuanyuan looked at Guangchengzi with a complicated expression.

What is the true face of a teacher who is usually so approachable?

Guangchengzi noticed Ji Xuanyuan's strange gaze and knew that saying anything would be useless, so he simply didn't mention the matter.

"Xuanyuan, Chiyou's army has been temporarily repelled. You should quickly unite the Human Race."

"Xuanyuan understands." Ji Xuanyuan still bowed, but he no longer showed the same respect to Guangchengzi as before.

Just as Guangchengzi was about to violently unify the Human Race with Ji Xuanyuan, Yuanshi Tianzun sent a telepathic message.

"Return to the Yuxu Palace immediately."

Guangchengzi realized that his little trick must have been discovered.

However, as the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Yuanshi Tianzun is unlikely to punish him severely.

"I must return to the Yuxu Palace."

After taking a deep look at Ji Xuanyuan, Guangchengzi left and headed to the Yuxu Palace.

Ji Xuanyuan stood on the banks of the Ji River, gazing in the direction where Guangchengzi had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

Zhao Gongming was seriously injured and rescued; Master Ying Yuan disappeared without a trace after using his most powerful weapon; and Master Guangchengzi was even more...

He closed his eyes, suppressing the complex emotions surging within him.

The teachers' departure may not be a bad thing.

At least it made him realize that the path of immortals Immortal God is ultimately not the foundation for Human Race's survival.

Ultimately, the path of Human Race must be walked by Human Race itself.

Writing directly about the Investiture of the Gods feels disjointed, but writing about the Human Emperor's Tribulation feels too weak. The author is at his wit's end...

I estimate I'll finish writing in a few more chapters; I'll just briefly mention the Five Emperors period.

After the Human Emperor's Calamity, the protagonist will travel to Myriad Worlds, and upon his return, he will initiate the Investiture of the Gods.
