The sight before them, both laughable and exasperating, left everyone stunned. What in the world was this?
Candle Dragon roared in fury at Lei Ze, "They aren't your friends! Look at Tai Xuan's miserable state; it's because of them."
Lei Ze chuckled foolishly, "If we were all friends, there wouldn't be any fighting."
Candle Dragon was so enraged he felt his Three Corpses leap. He unleashed a Time Law attack towards Lei Ze. Lei Ze didn't dare to be careless, quickly flapping his wings and beating the thunder drums on his body to counter the Time Law. Earth-shattering roars exploded in Chaos, shattering a portion of the chaotic space. A black hole in Chaos immediately appeared, greedily devouring Chaos Origin Qi. The boundless suction temporarily halted the advance of the Time Law, giving Lei Ze time to escape.
The gods and demons, still dazed, were either sent spitting blood or reeling from the thunderous drumbeats. Some unfortunate souls, unable to dodge Candle Dragon's law, were annihilated, body and soul.
Lei Ze was also bewildered, not understanding why Candle Dragon had suddenly become enraged and attacked him.
The series of unexpected events left all the gods and demons present completely taken aback. They had no idea what would happen next, and each began to cautiously brace themselves, inwardly on guard.
A sudden bolt of purple lightning shot towards Pangu. Candle Dragon was secretly pleased, thinking Lei Ze had finally come to his senses.
"Ah!"
A scream of agony. The purple Law of Lightning fiercely struck behind Pangu, where a figure was slowly rising, only to fall heavily again, his entire body scorched black and trembling. It was Tai Xuan.
Candle Dragon's eyes bulged with rage as he glared at Lei Ze, gritting his teeth, "Lei Ze, what do you mean by this!"
Lei Ze exclaimed in shock and anger, "Pangu is our friend. Friends can fight openly, but they cannot ambush. Tai Xuan is shameless, disregarding the dignity expected of gods and demons. His death is deserved."
Candle Dragon abandoned Xuanhuang and lunged at Lei Ze, relentlessly attacking with his Time Law. Lei Ze, wielding his axe and hammer, continuously beat the giant drum at his waist, parrying each strike.
Candle Dragon roared as he attacked, "Fellow Daoists, let's join forces to eliminate this traitor, and then we can defeat Pangu together and pursue the Great Dao!"
It seemed the others were swayed. They attacked Lei Ze together, with some opportunists also striking at other gods and demons. Although Lei Ze's divine abilities were not weak, none of these demon gods were ordinary. He immediately felt immense pressure, occasionally being wounded by the Time Law, his body quickly becoming covered in scars.
Pangu said to Xuanhuang, "Fellow Daoist Lei Ze is suffering because of us. Let's go help him."
Xuanhuang was inspired and declared, "Indeed. However, you are injured, Fellow Daoist Pangu, so please be careful."
The two joined the fray. Pangu's Law of Strength was formidable. Despite his injuries, most gods and demons were no match for him. With Xuanhuang's protection, the two were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, sharp-toothed and clawed.
Candle Dragon saw that although Pangu was fierce, his injuries greatly affected him, preventing him from reaching his peak state. His Time Law was also quite powerful. Perhaps he could catch Pangu off guard and kill him in one fell swoop.
"Eternal Passage of Time!"
He unleashed his strongest Time Law attack towards Pangu. Boundless majesty appeared. The torrent of time rolled over Chaos like a wheel, instantly turning it into void. Everything that existed within time was about to be submerged.
Pangu pushed Xuanhuang aside and roared, "Sky Opening!"
He swung his axe. His body bent severely under the backlash of the divine ability, and the arm wielding the axe instantly collapsed. Fortunately, the Golden Body Art activated, rapidly repairing his injured body.
A strange light flashed. Along the path of the Time Law, a peculiar space appeared. It was neither a black hole nor the void. The clear and turbid energies separated, and a strange spiritual energy was generated within.
As the Time Law entered this strange space, its oppressive power vanished.
Candle Dragon continued to unleash his laws, but the result was always the same. He roared in frustration, "Why? Why is this happening?"
Pangu said calmly, "This space does not belong to Chaos. It has its own laws. Your Time Law is a Chaos Law, and it is ineffective in this space."
Candle Dragon was instantly shocked, "You can actually create laws? You... you..."
While Candle Dragon was feeling guilty and fearful, his magical power was almost depleted. At this moment, a purple Divine Lightning struck. It hit precisely, striking directly at his Primordial Spirit. Candle Dragon felt his Primordial Spirit weaken, and the Chaos Origin Qi that repaired his body was cut off. This was because his Primordial Spirit could no longer refine the Chaos Origin Qi. He spat out a mouthful of blood and roared, "Lei Ze, you are despicable, attacking me sneakily!"
Lei Ze was very depressed. He had clearly been attacking someone else, so how did it turn towards Candle Dragon? He stared blankly at everything that was happening and sighed, "I, Lei Ze, consider myself to hate evil and love good, acting openly and honestly. I would never do such a despicable thing. If I were to accidentally injure someone, I would not forgive myself. So be it."
Having said that, Lei Ze actually self-destructed.
Xuanhuang lamented, "Upright and incorruptible, a true man. Even though he fell into someone's scheme, he sought no excuses."
"Haha, just a fool. How can such foolishness survive in Chaos? If he hadn't self-destructed, I would have sent him on his way. What is there to lament?" a voice said.
Candle Dragon heard this and roared furiously, "Old Heavenly Witch, you set a trap for me!"
Heavenly Witch chuckled, "I merely nudged that bolt of lightning along. Who knew it would end up on you? When did I ever plot against you? You could say it was your fate. Before, I feared your Time Law. Now, you're probably so weak that I could crush you with a single finger, haha."
Candle Dragon detested being looked down upon the most. He forcibly circulated his remaining magical power and roared, "Then let's try, you old poison!" With that, he forcefully unleashed the Eternal Passage of Time Law.
Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man burst into laughter, "Is that all the power you have? Watch my poison arts!" Patches of green gas floated out, and poisonous smoke filled the air, forming a large mass of dark green poisonous clouds above. The poisonous clouds rapidly corroded the Time Law, which was truly incredible.
"My poison is not afraid of your time manipulation. No matter how time flows, my poison exists eternally. Especially now, when your law is less than one ten-thousandth of its former power, you dare to show off? Go!" The green gas condensed into a water droplet, piercing through the barrier of the Time Law and attacking Candle Dragon.
As soon as the green droplet touched his skin, it rapidly penetrated. Ugly pustules appeared on Candle Dragon's body, accompanied by his screams of agony. The pustules enlarged and festered. In the blink of an eye, the powerful Candle Dragon god and demon turned into a pool of pus.
Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man looked at the pool of poison with great interest, nodding repeatedly. "Good, good! My poison arts have advanced recently!" He adopted an air of being the greatest under heaven, looking down condescendingly at everyone.
Heavenly Witch suddenly moved, revealing a massive mouth. Its gaping maw emitted an overwhelming stench, instantly making one or two nearby gods and demons dizzy and disoriented.
A long, slimy tongue flicked back and forth. He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of colorful smoke, which became invisible as it left his mouth.
It drifted outwards. A god or demon, still somewhat groggy, inhaled a mouthful without realizing it. Instantly, foul-smelling black blood flowed from all seven orifices, and his entire body rapidly shriveled, becoming like a dried corpse.
The remaining scattered gods and demons each used their own laws or magic treasures to protect themselves.
Xuanhuang's Exquisite Pagoda protected his entire body, allowing the poisonous gas to spread. Pangu also had to summon his still-recovering Green Lotus.
Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man saw that his invisible poisonous gas had failed to subdue the other gods and demons. His body transformed again, becoming a jade-green toad's head and a snake's body with a hundred legs. The snake's body was covered in bumps, each like a living thing, wriggling and spewing poisonous smoke. A scarlet scorpion tail swayed back and forth, and at the tip of the tail, a poisonous barb glowed with a bright purplish-red hue.
Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man moved slightly, and the poisonous smoke on his body gathered, condensing into black poisonous liquid. The liquid fell like raindrops. This poison was directly produced by Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man's poison glands. A single drop could corrode and poison gods and demons below the level of Heavenly Dao Saints. One had to know that the bodies of gods and demons were naturally strong. Even gods and demons who had reached the Primordial Saint realm would be in mortal danger if their magic treasures were slightly inferior. Against this type of poison attack, one truly gained no advantage.
After the raindrops were struck down by magic treasures or divine abilities, they did not dissipate. These poisonous raindrops quickly gathered into a stream of poisonous liquid. The highly toxic gas permeated Chaos. This stream of poison, as if alive, transformed into many poisonous creatures that attacked the gods and demons.
These poisonous creatures dripped with poison all over their bodies, existing between reality and illusion. They could manifest into solid forms to attack with poisonous tails and fangs, or they could transform into flowing water, entering everywhere, attacking by surprise.
More and more demon gods melted into the highly toxic stream, becoming the pride and display of Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man.
What surprised Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man was the continuous purple light that was being absorbed into Pangu's body. He started paying attention, wondering what it was, what Pangu could absorb, and if he was using some unknown spell to quickly recover his body.
This purple light felt familiar, very familiar.
Now, only three people were worth noting. Pangu was protected by the Green Lotus, Xuanhuang had the Exquisite Pagoda, and there was another person radiating boundless heat, whose approaching poison was quickly dried and burned away.
When did this person arrive? He hadn't noticed at all.
Pangu and Xuanhuang were currently defenseless. This person was the one worth paying attention to.
Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man twisted his body and approached step by step. The divine demon, who had been constantly dodging poisonous creatures, opened its mouth and rolled its venomous tongue towards that person. Upon contact, there were continuous sizzling sounds, and white mist rose. Heavenly Witch Poison Old Man even let out a howling, screeching sound from his mouth.
That Daoist priest waved his hand, sending out fireball after fireball, extinguishing the poisonous creatures that were surging forward like a tide.
