Tai Xuan and Candle Dragon

Inside the formation, the fight raged fiercely, turning day into night. Outside, a new group of fifty to sixty people arrived, led by someone calling himself the Grand Xuan Daoist, whose true form was the Heaven and Earth Aurora, capable of manifesting all things and bewildering minds.

Beside him, a red-faced, crimson-skinned Daoist said, "Brother Tai Xuan, what do you think of this Heavens Divine Fiend Great Formation?"

The Grand Xuan Daoist laughed heartily, "Candle Dragon Daoist Brother, are you testing me? With your eyes that can see the past and future, you should already know. This formation is extremely ferocious, containing the Way of Slaughter, and is incredibly powerful. Not to mention that Great Dao Incarnation who understands all three thousand laws."

The Candle Dragon said, "My Time Law can see through its mysteries, but I can't enter. If those Twelve Demon Gods truly kill Pangu, won't we all be enslaved by these twelve fools?"

The Grand Xuan Daoist pointed at the Candle Dragon and laughed, "Brother, you don't need to provoke me. Let's go in and take a look." He then turned to the crowd, "Is anyone else interested in going in?"

More than a dozen people responded, "We'll follow Grand Xuan Ancestor's divine abilities."

The Grand Xuan Daoist said, "Good, follow me in for a look. The rest of you, guard outside well." As he spoke, he stirred his own magical power, manifesting an illusion. This illusion gradually approached the aura of the Heavens Divine Fiend Great Formation, and the two began to merge.

At this moment, the Great Dao Incarnation of the Twelve Divine Fiends suddenly paused. Pangu seized an opportunity and landed a punch on its lower abdomen. The Great Dao Incarnation, not to be outdone, threw a punch towards Pangu's face. Pangu dodged to the side, but his body was pierced by Pangu's punch, leaving him in a sorry state.

Xuanhuang frowned and thought, These newcomers are not simple, possessing such divine abilities.

The Great Dao Incarnation rapidly repaired its body using the energy of slaughter and said, "Someone has intruded into the formation. I'll go greet them first, and we can settle this later." With that, it turned and vanished into the energy of slaughter.

"Someone has entered the great formation in a strange way. It seems they first simulated the formation's energy of slaughter, making the formation gradually accept them, and then infiltrated."

Pangu was slightly alarmed upon hearing this. Such divine abilities were not simple, especially for formation masters, as it was a natural counter. Pangu sat down cross-legged again, sensing the Great Dao Information within the formation. Since this great formation could borrow the aura of the Great Dao, it must be beneficial for his comprehension of the Great Dao. He should also carefully consider the process of his previous fight with the Great Dao Incarnation and comprehend its mysteries.

The Twelve Divine Fiends were also worried. The strength of the intruders seemed to exceed their expectations. No matter how they mobilized the Great Dao Power to attack, the power treated them as part of the great formation, rendering their borrowed Great Dao rules useless.

They felt a sense of despair. The intruders were at the late stage of the Primordial Saint realm, while they were only at the middle stage. The dozen or so people who had entered the formation were almost at their level, and a red-faced Daoist had yet to join the fray.

The Great Dao Incarnation not only had to deal with the intruders but also contend with the Grand Xuan Daoist for partial control of the great formation, which was a considerable pressure. However, since it was a formation they had constructed, their killing power remained undiminished. But the formation now treated the Grand Xuan Daoist and his group as allies, which was troublesome. Both sides could only wait for the other to make a mistake.

Looking at the prolonged stalemate, although the Grand Xuan Daoist used his divine abilities to resist the great formation, there were bound to be flaws. A demon god trapped in the energy of slaughter was suddenly dominated by a mysterious force. Facing the Great Dao Incarnation, it was as if they saw the true Great Dao, lacking any will to resist, and was killed with a single blow by the Great Dao Incarnation.

Now, nine out of ten were gone. The Grand Xuan Daoist was helpless. This was, after all, someone else's territory, and they still had to protect those who entered the formation. They didn't even have a chance to attack.

Grand Ancestor Candle Dragon frowned and said, "Brother Tai Xuan, we can't delay any longer. We must finish this quickly." With that, he focused his mind and joined the battle, unleashing his formidable Time Law.

"Time Flies."

Suddenly, a strange light shone down. The energy of slaughter within the great formation trembled and began to transform rapidly. All things in the world have birth and death, rise and fall. This energy of slaughter was no exception; it would dissipate with the passage of time, just as people age.

The Twelve Divine Fiends were greatly alarmed. What kind of divine ability was this, possessing such power? The formation shifted, and the energy of slaughter became erratic, like smoke and mist, blurring everything. Smoke has no roots, mist has no five elements; it knows no life, no death, and no years.

The Grand Xuan Daoist, due to the formation change, lost focus for a moment, and two more demon gods were defeated by the Twelve Divine Fiends.

Seeing that his attack had no effect, the Candle Dragon didn't care. He was merely distracting them, coordinating with the Grand Xuan Daoist to gain control of the Twelve Heavens Divine Fiend Great Formation. The lives of those demon gods were of no concern to him.

"Time Dazes."

This divine ability actually made the energy of slaughter feel drowsy. The energy of slaughter had its own sentience. The Great Dao Incarnation, distracted, injected a strand of Spiritual Sense into the great formation, stimulating the Great Formation Spirit.

Grand Ancestor Candle Dragon unleashed several more divine abilities in succession, and the Twelve Divine Fiends responded without hesitation.

Suddenly, the Twelve Divine Fiends felt that the great formation had slipped out of their command.

Grand Ancestor Candle Dragon laughed, "You twelve fools, this great formation has already been controlled by my Brother Tai Xuan. My previous divine abilities and those fallen demon gods were all to help Brother Tai Xuan understand the changes within the formation. You should die without regret."

The Twelve Divine Fiends let out a roar, and the energy of slaughter on their bodies melted away like snow under the sun.

Grand Ancestor Candle Dragon waved his sleeve and roared, "You are still unwilling, aren't you? But what can you do? Go."

"Past and Present."

Most of the essence, energy, and spirit of the Twelve Divine Fiends seemed to be pulled into the vortex of time, either sent to the future or swept into history, completely submerged in the rolling torrent of history.

From within the dissipating torrent of time, the unwilling roars of the Twelve Demon Gods could be heard: "You will not have a good end. Our great formation is not so easily controlled."

There were also some unlucky demon gods who didn't have time to dodge, perhaps this was precisely what the Candle Dragon intended.

Suddenly, the great formation moved, and the energy of slaughter condensed once more. A new Great Dao Incarnation reappeared. It bowed to the Candle Dragon and said, "Haha, thank you, Brother Candle Dragon. Let's go meet Pangu."

Grand Ancestor Candle Dragon pulled the Grand Xuan Daoist, "Perhaps we can plan something. This great formation is in our hands. You know it, I know it, heaven knows, earth knows, and no one else knows. In other words, I am in the dark, and the enemy is in the light. This is an exciting game."

The Grand Xuan Daoist and the Candle Dragon, hidden in the dark, watched Pangu and the Great Dao Incarnation who were silently cultivating. They carefully observed them and had to admire the two for remaining so calm even in a crisis.

The Grand Xuan Daoist said, "Pangu, I have cleaned up those scoundrels. Let's continue our fight."

Pangu opened his eyes and said, "Good, I've been waiting for you."

The two began to fight again, fist to fist.

Pangu now primarily relied on his physical body in combat, with divine abilities as support. Ultimately, he had to rely on his terrifying physical strength to comprehend his Rule of Strength. Once Pangu's current physical body reached a certain level, it would be indestructible even when heaven and earth perished, and immortal even when heaven and earth were destroyed!

The Great Dao Incarnation was also formidable, its energy of slaughter constantly condensing, its recovery ability no less than the opponent's, and it could borrow the Great Dao Power.

The fists of the two drew closer and closer, colliding directly. At this instant, a world-shattering roar, like a storm, erupted within the formation and spread outside, shaking the heavens and earth.

A gust of wind exploded from where the two fists met, rushing outwards and stirring the boundless energy of slaughter.

Boom!

Pangu's body trembled, his blood churned, and a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. His body was forced back several steps by the shock.

The Great Dao Incarnation's right arm emitted loud banging sounds. Invisible ripples spread from its arm, shattering. The energy of slaughter dispersed, and its body staggered back several steps.

As he retreated, Pangu swung an Axe Shadow. Strangely, it did not strike the Great Dao Incarnation but rather the area seemingly shrouded in the energy of slaughter.

"Years Like a Shuttle." The Candle Dragon narrowly dodged the seemingly simple axe with a time acceleration divine ability.

Pangu said calmly, pointing at the Great Dao Incarnation, "You are not one of those Twelve Divine Fiends, and you are much weaker than them. You know we fought before, but do you know what we were competing in?"

The Grand Xuan Daoist couldn't deny that he had underestimated his opponent. He had thought Pangu was just a brute with no brains, but truly, no demon god in Chaos was simple. Some were just born at the wrong time.

The Grand Xuan Daoist laughed heartily, "Perhaps you are mistaken, Daoist Brother. We are no worse than those Twelve Fiends. You just haven't experienced it yet. My Candle Dragon Daoist Brother's Time Law is also a great divine ability in Chaos. We can fight and see."

Xuanhuang said, "Then I shall experience Candle Dragon Daoist Brother's time abilities."

Candle Dragon glanced at Xuanhuang and said, "Xuanhuang Daoist Brother, the strongest defender between heaven and earth. I wonder what offensive abilities you possess. You are indeed a worthy opponent."

Xuanhuang's eyelids didn't even move. "I hope I won't disappoint you." With that, the two began to fight. One was a giant god of time, the other practiced non-action, going with the flow. Time seemed to flow along with the Great Dao's workings. Xuanhuang was like a part of the Great Dao; no matter how powerful your divine abilities were, he would meet them with earth to block water, deflecting them one by one.
