The battle on the ground between the two sides was in full swing.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the three figures confronting each other were no exception, the atmosphere extremely tense. Ju Mang remained silent, while Qiang Liang continued to provoke.

At this moment, Fuxi stopped speaking and suddenly let out a laugh.

He extended his right hand, and a pitch-black halberd appeared in his grasp.

It was the Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Halberd.

When Fuxi entered his battle state, Qiang Liang also ceased his taunts. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he immediately revealed his God-Demon True Body, lightning flashing all around, illuminating the surroundings.

Ju Mang also revealed his God-Demon True Body, a verdant light permeating the heavens.

The three instantly engaged in battle. Fuxi, fighting two against one, showed no signs of being at a disadvantage, with the exchanges being fierce.

The Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Halberd, was born from the Destiny and Fortune of the world, possessing immense offensive and defensive power.

The halberd sliced through the sky like a meteor, aiming directly for Qiang Liang's head.

Seeing this, Qiang Liang did not hesitate. He swung his fists in the air, summoning and directing lightning, drawing thunder from all directions. The myriad bolts of lightning transformed into two serpentine dragons of electricity, coiling around his arms.

His fists met the Heaven and Earth Halberd head-on.

Donghua watched, sighing, "As expected of a Demon God who only cultivates the Pangu True Body."

In the Primordial World, when it came to combat talent, the Twelve Demon Gods were undoubtedly among the best. They rarely used Spiritual Treasures in battle; their own physical bodies were their treasures.

The Twelve Demon Gods could be considered true darlings of Heaven and Earth, born with mastery over a Great Dao Law, starting their cultivation at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level.

While cultivating the God Path, they comprehended Pangu's majestic form and utilized the world's turbid energy to cultivate only their true bodies, making their physiques incomparably robust.

The halberd and the fists collided.

Golden and purplish-blue light flashed, illuminating Heaven and Earth.

The halberd's attack was blocked by the fists.

However, Fuxi seemed unfazed. He swung the halberd again, causing it to spin in the air. Waves of sharp, golden light erupted from the blade.

They struck Qiang Liang's true body, shattering the lightning.

The blood of a God-Demon splattered across the sky.

The formidable killing aura displayed by the Heaven and Earth Halberd was too much even for a God-Demon True Body to withstand.

Seeing Qiang Liang injured, Fuxi pressed his advantage, crossing space in an instant to appear beside him.

The Heaven and Earth Halberd once again aimed for his head.

"Clang!"

A resonant, booming sound echoed through the sky.

It turned out that Ju Mang, seeing Qiang Liang injured, had quickly moved to cover him, repelling Fuxi's attack.

Ju Mang swiftly unleashed a Law of Wood towards Qiang Liang, and the previously injured area began to heal rapidly.

The three resumed their fierce battle.

Neither Ju Mang nor Qiang Liang could defeat Fuxi individually, but together, they were not at all at a disadvantage.

Others might not have noticed, but Donghua saw it clearly: Fuxi was on the verge of breaking through to the mid-Quasi-Saint stage.

Seeing a fellow Daoist from his former level making such progress, Donghua felt a pang of unease. If it were his original body, East King Gong, he would likely be close too. However, his own arrival had indeed hindered his cultivation progress.

Yet, Donghua did not regret it. Without those few instances of reincarnation and re-cultivation, he would probably still be a novice and unable to unleash his current strength.

Moreover, his own power was steadily advancing now.

Breaking through was only a matter of time, but Donghua understood the principle of "a step ahead means every step ahead."

"It seems I can't be so complacent anymore."

The battle in the sky had reached a stalemate, with neither side able to secure a victory.

However, a different battle on the ground had captured Donghua's attention.

Xiong Er's gaze was also fixed there.

It was the battle between Yuan Xiong, the tribal chief of the Iron Eater Beasts, and Ci Tie, one of the Heavenly Court's Ten Great Demon Gods.

Ci Tie's strength ranked within the top five among the Ten Great Demon Gods of the Yao Race, at the very least fourth.

He possessed a formidable physique and a pair of large horns atop his head.

The combat between the two was utterly reckless, with both unleashing their full power, pushing their Great Luo Golden Immortal abilities to the absolute limit.

Both wielded a long staff as their weapon.

They fought from the ground to the sky, and then into the River of Time and Space.

Yuan Xiong was even more ferocious, directly trading injuries.

Ci Tie found this fighting style difficult to accept, but he had no choice, given that Yuan Xiong's wife and children had been killed by him back then.

He also became ruthless, disregarding his own injuries and re-engaging Yuan Xiong in battle.

Donghua patted Xiong Er's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Your father and Ci Tie are evenly matched. It'll be hard to determine a winner."

Xiong Er nodded with difficulty, but his gaze never left the battle on the field. The light in his eyes seemed to turn into a flame, wanting to devour Ci Tie.

"Tai Hua, can you understand the Demon God Race's objective this time?"

Shao Siming thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "Brother, Tai Hua is indeed foolish and cannot comprehend it. This battle came suddenly, and it was initiated by the Demon God Race. Yet, as of now, they haven't gained any advantage. However, I believe the Demon God Race absolutely has a secret they are hiding."

Dong Hua nodded, sensing the fluctuations from all over the Primordial World, and said, "It's already very good that you can think of these things. As the battle has progressed, I might have understood some of it."

The gazes of several people fell on Dong Hua.

Dong Hua smiled, "The Demon God Race's campaign this time is definitely not limited to this one area. The Primordial World is vast and boundless, but I have already sensed fluctuations from other places. Therefore, this should be a comprehensive battle initiated by the Demon God Race."

"A comprehensive battle?"

Dong Hua: "Yes, that's right, a comprehensive battle. Look at the number of Demon God Race members fighting below?"

As his voice fell, their gazes focused on the battle between the two armies on the ground.

Xuan Qing exclaimed, "The number of Demon God Race members is actually not inferior to the Yao Race!"

"How is this possible?"

The reason the Demon God Race had always been unable to defeat the Yao Race was due to their lack of numbers.

Their high-end combat power was not inferior to the Yao Race, but to dominate the Primordial World, they couldn't rely solely on high-end combat power; it depended on overall combat strength.

But now, the number of Demon God Race members was actually on par with the Yao Race.

This meant that the Demon God Race's last weakness was gone.

Dong Hua did not answer these questions and once again used his power of space and time. This time, he focused his gaze on Buzhou Mountain.

That was the tribe of Houtu, a Demon God of the Demon God Race, and also the main base of the Demon God Race.

The image of Buzhou Mountain came through the mirror. Although Dong Hua had used his full power, the image was still quite blurry, but it was clear enough to see.

There was no other way. That was Buzhou Mountain, after all. The fact that he could use the mirror of space and time was also due to both sides currently being engaged in battle.

Otherwise, if he had done this so openly, he would have already been pursued through space and time by the Great Powers of the Demon God Race and the Yao Race.

The battle at Buzhou Mountain was even more brutal than the one in the East.

At a glance, many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had died, let alone those below the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level.

In the image, Di Jun was fighting Dijiang.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was fighting Zhu Jiuyin, Ru Shou, and Zhu Rong.

Empress Nuwa was fighting Houtu and Xuan Ming.

Kunpeng was fighting Tian Wu and Xi Zi.

Bai Ze was fighting She Bi Shi.

Xi He was fighting Gong Gong.

All the Quasi-Saint Great Powers from both sides had appeared. Except for the Eastern battlefield, all of them were concentrated under Buzhou Mountain.

Of the battles on the field, the most brutal was undoubtedly Eastern Emperor Taiyi's fight against the three Demon Gods.

There was no pretense in the fight between the four of them. Each of them had injuries to varying degrees, especially Zhu Rong, the Fire Demon God, who fought the most aggressively and was more severely injured.

The most upright and fair fight belonged to Di Jun and Dijiang. Their battle was grand and unrestrained, with all sorts of combat techniques, Law attacks, and treasure duels, with each giving and taking blows.

The battles corresponding to Kunpeng, Xi He, and Bai Ze were more normal, like a duel of magic.

But the easiest fight was undoubtedly Nuwa's against Houtu and Xuan Ming.

Dong Hua took one look and exclaimed that it was a fixed match.

This was not a battle at all; it was clearly an affirmation of the Great Dao Law. You strike once, I break it; I strike once, you break it.

Sometimes they would even stop to give the other party time to think of a way to break it before resuming the battle.
