You were asked to assist Di Xin, but you made him the Human Emperor?

This way, there wouldn't be such a sense of disparity in his heart!

After he refined this Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit, Deng Jiugong's physical body cultivation and Nascent Soul cultivation had both advanced from Perfection in the True Immortal Realm to the early stage of the Mystic Immortal Realm!

"Finally, the Mystic Immortal Realm!"

Deng Jiugong murmured.

In reality, the disparity in combat power below the Golden Immortal Realm wasn't that significant.

One could compensate for the gap using their own strength, exquisite martial arts, and Magic Treasures!

Even some mortal generals, relying on their strength comparable to Immortals and gods, exquisite martial arts, and a handy weapon, could potentially kill Immortals in the Mystic Immortal Realm.

After all, not all Immortals have immortal physical bodies; they generally cultivate their Nascent Souls and mana, and their physical bodies aren't that strong.

Otherwise, how could Huang Feihu, a mortal general, fight against Immortals!

Of course, against body-cultivating cultivators like Yang Jian, or Immortals who mastered strange Daoist techniques, mortal generals would be unable to contend.

They were absolutely no match for cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm.

Gold signifies immortality!

Once cultivation reached the Golden Immortal Realm, strength would experience a qualitative leap.

Although Deng Jiugong could easily kill Mystic Immortals, he couldn't kill Golden Immortals.

Therefore, only by further increasing his strength could he bridge some of the gap.

At this moment, Deng Jiugong's cultivation had reached the Mystic Immortal Realm, and he cultivated both his physical body and Nascent Soul. He possessed two mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasures, and with the Immortal Binding Rope in hand, even if he couldn't defeat some Golden Immortals, he could at least ensure his own safety!

"Marshal, Xiqi has put up the 'no-battle' sign!"

Just then, Tailuan came to report.

"Deng Jiugong, come out and die!"

At that very moment, an enraged voice echoed throughout the entire Tang Camp.

It turned out that Nezha was outside challenging them.

Previously, Deng Jiugong had killed Li Jin Zha and Li Mutha, and Nezha wanted revenge for his two elder brothers!

"Marshal, Li Qi requests to battle!"

Li Qi, a disciple of Lu Yue, spoke.

Previously, Zhou Xin had not killed Li Jin Zha; it was Deng Jiugong himself who had personally taken action to kill him.

Although they had achieved a great victory, they had also lost a lot of face.

At this moment, Li Qi was actively requesting to battle, determined to kill Nezha, lest others look down on the cultivators of Nine Dragon Island.

"Very well!"

Deng Jiugong said.

This was a good opportunity to let Li Qi test Nezha's strength.

After Li Qi appeared, Nezha was seen with the Universe Ring around his neck and the Wind Fire Wheels beneath his feet, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

However, the anger in his expression was unconcealed.

"Die!"

With anger burning in his heart, the two met and, without any pleasantries, immediately engaged in a real fight.

Let alone Nezha's hatred, Li Qi was originally an evil spirit from the Plague Department, with an incredibly ferocious appearance. Nezha showed no mercy, and his Fire-Tipped Spear pierced directly towards Li Qi.

Boom!

Li Qi met the Fire-Tipped Spear with a sword in his hand!

As the two Magic Treasures collided, Li Qi's expression changed drastically, and he was sent flying!

The gap in strength was immense!

"Golden Immortal Realm!!!"

Deng Jiugong saw that Nezha's cultivation had actually reached the Golden Immortal Realm.

Although Li Qi's cultivation was not bad, he was at the Perfection of the Mystic Immortal Realm and likely no match for Nezha.

From the very first exchange, Li Qi was completely at a disadvantage.

Nezha thrust his spear again, and Li Qi narrowly escaped death. In moments, he was unable to resist.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Li Qi unleashed his ultimate move and summoned a banner!

As the banner moved, Li Qi's figure shifted, and he fled.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Although this banner had affected Nezha, causing him to shudder, the impact wasn't significant. Riding the Wind Fire Wheels, he chased directly after Li Qi!

"Li Qi is in danger!"

Seeing this, Lu Yue's expression turned grim.

He looked up and saw Manjushri Guangfa Heavenly Venerate and Samantabhadra's true forms standing shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Ziya on the city walls of Xiqi, their eyes filled with killing intent.

Clearly, if Lu Yue made a move, Manjushri and Samantabhadra would intervene.

However, Deng Jiugong had already noticed the situation in Xiqi. Not only had Manjushri and Samantabhadra arrived, but Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi had also rushed to aid in the battle.

It was just that Nezha, eager for revenge, had taken the lead in the fight!

"Ding dong, God-Tier Options activated!"

"Option 1: The host abandons the rescue, losing a general, with no reward!"

"Option 2: The host chooses to save Li Qi and obtains a drop of Ancestral Witch essence blood!!"

At this very moment, the System's prompt sounded in Deng Jiugong's mind.

Deng Jiugong's expression faltered.

Ancestral Witch essence blood?

Everyone else was drawing Pangu's essence blood, but this System was giving him Ancestral Witch's?

Wasn't that a bit low-tier?

However, with Deng Jiugong's current cultivation, Ancestral Witch essence blood was still incredibly valuable!

After all, with his mere early-stage Mystic Immortal Realm cultivation, even with Pangu's essence blood, he probably wouldn't be able to refine it.

"Choose the second option!"

Deng Jiugong made his choice instantly.

However, as Lu Yue saw himself in danger and was about to make a move, Deng Jiugong had already taken a step ahead, his figure rushing out.

Even though the reinforcements from the Plague Department didn't seem like good people and were rather fierce, they had come to help him.

At this moment, when the other party was in danger, Deng Jiugong had no reason not to act. Even without a reward, if Deng Jiugong could save him, he still would.

When others came to fight and die for you, you couldn't just stand by and watch them perish. There was no such logic.

Moreover, with an extra helper on his side, his own generals wouldn't have to fight the first battle, and the danger would be reduced.

Buzz!

Moving his body, Deng Jiugong used the Five Elements Great Escape and arrived in front of Li Qi.

With a raise of his hand, the Heavenly Origin Divine Blade and Destruction Divine Blade in his hand appeared, slashing towards Nezha.

Boom!

Clashing with Nezha's Fire-Tipped Spear, Deng Jiugong's figure was suddenly blasted away.

"This!!!"

Deng Jiugong's expression changed slightly.

In this exchange, he had actually fallen into a disadvantage.

At this moment, he truly perceived Nezha's actual cultivation, which was mid-stage Golden Immortal Realm.

There was a vast gap between the Mystic Immortal Realm and the Golden Immortal Realm.

It was only because Deng Jiugong's spiritual treasures were powerful and he cultivated the Pangu Divine Art, possessing immense strength, that he could withstand Nezha's strike, yet he still fell into a disadvantage.

Phew!

Saved by Deng Jiugong, Li Qi let out a sigh of relief.

He had narrowly escaped death!

Just now, he thought he was doomed.

Now that Deng Jiugong had intervened and blocked Nezha, Li Qi, still shaken, immediately fled.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for saving Li Qi and obtaining a drop of Ancestral Witch essence blood!"

At this very moment, the System's prompt sounded in Deng Jiugong's mind.
