Great Battle

Donghua was very happy to be able to forge a High-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure on his first try.

A High-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure could be considered the pinnacle of what mortals could forge. Of course, there were also Top-tier Houtian Spiritual Treasures, but forging one required the right time, place, and people; without any of them, it was impossible.

The representative work of a Top-tier Houtian Spiritual Treasure was the Xuanyuan Sword, which was a Top-tier Houtian Spiritual Treasure when Taishang Laojun forged it.

Later, with the addition of Human Dao Merit, it directly became a Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure.

There were two major differences between Innate Spiritual Treasures and Houtian Spiritual Treasures: one was the time of their emergence, and the other was the Great Dao Law they contained.

Innate Spiritual Treasures could be used for contemplation and cultivation because they inherently contained Great Dao Law, while Houtian Spiritual Treasures were generally used for combat and duels, possessing greater practicality.

Of course, Innate Spiritual Treasures were also absolutely formidable in terms of combat power.

After forging Xiong Er's weapon, Donghua did not stop. He continued forging, this time to craft a weapon for his disciple, Qing Xuan, the Golden-winged Great Peng.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiong Er arrived punctually to collect his weapon, accompanied by Qing Xuan, the Golden-winged Great Peng.

"Disciple greets Master."

"Xiong Er greets Great God."

Donghua waved his hand, signaling them not to be so formal, and then took out the Mysterious Iron Rod and handed it to Xiong Er.

Xiong Er took the Mysterious Iron Rod and couldn't help but swing it.

"High-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure?"

Upon discovering that the weapon in his hand was actually a High-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure, Xiong Er exclaimed in shock.

"Great God, this is too precious, I cannot accept it." Xiong Er quickly handed the Mysterious Iron Rod forward.

Even though it was only a difference of two grades, the gap was as vast as heaven and earth. He knew very well what quality his original weapon was, so he truly could not accept it.

Donghua waved his hand and did not take it back, saying, "It's nothing, take it. It was forged for you in the first place."

Xiong Er hesitated again, as it was simply too valuable.

"Take it, but it's no longer appropriate to call this weapon the Mysterious Iron Rod. You can give it a new name."

Xiong Er solemnly accepted the weapon and bowed three times to Donghua, saying, "Imperial Sovereign's kindness to me is immense. Xiong Er is deeply grateful. Should the Imperial Sovereign have any commands in the future, I will never refuse. I beg the Imperial Sovereign to bestow a name."

Donghua smiled. He hadn't expected that a single forging attempt would result in gaining a loyal subordinate. He wasn't even his superior, yet Xiong Er suddenly called him Imperial Sovereign, the meaning of which was quite clear.

"You don't need to be so formal, you silly fellow. The Mysterious Iron Rod emerged from the flames in my Hunyuan Cauldron, and it contains a Spiritual Power I recently comprehended: Size As One Wishes. Why not call it the Hunyuan Ruyi Cudgel?"

"What do you think?"

Xiong Er cupped the Hunyuan Ruyi Cudgel in his hands and said, "Thank you, Imperial Sovereign, for bestowing the name."

Seeing that Xiong Er had no objections, Donghua waved his right hand, and the five characters for "Hunyuan Ruyi Cudgel" were branded onto it.

After finishing this, he took out a silver-white Spear, its body exuding a chilling aura.

He handed the Spear to Qing Xuan, which was also specially forged for him and was a High-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

Qing Xuan happily accepted the Spear and said, "Thank you, Master, for this treasure."

"It's nothing, merely a Houtian Spiritual Treasure. Last time I saw you fight, I noticed your spear technique was good, but the spear itself was lacking, so I forged a spear for you."

"This spear was primarily forged using essence from the Moon Star and the bone of a Dragon at the peak of Golden Immortal cultivation. I have refined the Yin Yang Law and the Law of Space into it, allowing it to change size at will, making it very suitable for you."

"Your Master has given this spear a name: Hunyuan Bright Silver Spear, also known as the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear."

"See if you like it?"

Qing Xuan took the Spear and began to wield it, thrusting and sweeping.

Xiong Er, watching from the side, was moved and immediately engaged him with his cudgel.

The two began to spar, not using any Magical Power, but purely their combat techniques, fighting fiercely.

Before long, the two ended their battle and returned to Donghua's side.

"Master, this Hunyuan Bright Silver Spear suits me very well. Thank you again, Master."

"Mm, it's nothing. Cultivate diligently."

After they left, Donghua continued his arduous cultivation life, imparting knowledge, lecturing, cultivating Magical Power, and Slaying the Corpse.

He didn't know why Slaying the Corpse had become easier recently, progressing much faster.

In the blink of an eye, Donghua had stayed in the Iron Eater Beast tribe for a hundred years and was familiar with everyone there.

From the elders to the newborn children, everyone knew the name Tai Wei.

One day, Donghua summoned Xiong Er.

"Xiong Er, I have been cultivating here for a hundred years, and it is time for me to leave. Your father has not yet returned, and leaving without saying goodbye would not be proper."

After speaking, Donghua handed Xiong Er a jade slip, saying, "Give this to your father when he returns, and he will understand."

Xiong Er said anxiously, "Imperial Sovereign, why are you leaving? Have we not entertained you properly?"

Donghua patted Xiong Er's shoulder and said, "There are no eternal feasts in the world. I am meant to travel the Primordial World, so how can I stay here forever?"

After Donghua finished speaking, the three of them prepared to leave.

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the distant sky.

At the front line where the Demon Race Heavenly Court and the Demon God Race were in a standoff, the sounds of slaughter shook the heavens.

Qing Xuan asked in confusion, "Master, what's happening?"

Donghua didn't speak. The power of his Primordial Spirit erupted, and in an instant, he arrived at the battlefield.

There, countless members of the Yao Race and the Demon God Race were fighting.

The air was filled with the aura of slaughter, and the sky and the Great Earth instantly turned blood red.

"The Yao Race and the Demon God Race have gone to war. Judging by this scale, this battle is going to be significant."

Xiong Er said in shock, "How is this possible? Aren't both races in a period of peaceful development? And I've never heard such terrifying sounds of battle."

Donghua was also puzzled. He then formed hand seals and, with a few others, instantly arrived at a space near the battlefield. He then used his power over space-time again, isolating the space there.

Using a space-time imprint, he cast the Water Mirror technique, fully transmitting the situation of the distant battlefield.

Within the mirror-like surface of rippling water, countless armies of the Yao Race and the Demon God Race were slaughtering each other. All of them were at the Immortal realm.

Those below the Golden Immortal level were like ordinary soldiers there. The battle between the two sides was like a giant meat grinder, with people dying every second.

Heavenly Immortals, Spirit Immortals, Mysterious Immortals, True Immortals, and Golden Immortals were falling at any moment.

In the sky, Ju Mang, the Eastern Wood Demon God, and Qiang Liang, the Lightning Demon God, stood side by side.

Opposite them stood a green figure, his face like white jade, appearing gentle and refined.

It was Xi Emperor Fuxi of the Heavenly Court, also known as the Green Emperor.

Fuxi: "Ju Mang, Qiang Liang, are you two attacking my Heavenly Court, seeking death?"

Ju Mang remained silent, but Qiang Liang burst into laughter and said, "Fuxi, times change. What right do you lot, a bunch of hairy, horned beasts born of water and eggs, have to vie for Heaven and Earth? Fuxi, I acknowledge you as an Innate Deity. Submit to my Demon God Race, and I shall spare your life."

Fuxi looked at the two before him, no longer speaking. However, his clasped hands behind his back revealed that his heart was far from calm.
