Zhuolu, Di Jun

Zhuolu is a plain in the eastern part of the Primordial Wilderness. In the past, the Purple Mansion built a vast sky city here, which Haotian named Zhuolu.

After countless eons, Zhuolu became a city of the human race, and now this city is occupied by the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.

In the city of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan summoned his subordinates to discuss how to deal with Chi You and the Jiuli Tribe.

"Now that Chi You has the support of the demon race, his strength has greatly increased. We have fought nine battles and lost all nine. I wonder what your opinions are?"

Now, Xuanyuan's forces are also strong and well-equipped, including Cangjie, Ying Long, Lord of the Clouds, Nine Heavens Xuan Nü, the Thirty-Six Divine Generals, Feng Hou, Li Mu, Dahong, Gui Yu, Nü Ba, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, and so on.

After Ziwei's defeat, even the Interception Sect joined in, marking the first time the Chan and Jie Sects cooperated.

However, none of this could compare to Chi You. With the combined strength of the three major forces— the Witch Clan, the Asura Race, and the Demon Clan— Chi You's side was terrifyingly powerful.

As the representative of the Chan Teachings, Guangchengzi, the teacher of Xuanyuan, was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"Your Human Emperor, although we have suffered nine defeats in our battles against Chi You, this was due to our lack of experience fighting the demons. Now that we are familiar with Chi You's tactics, we are strong enough to defeat Chi You head-on."

"Your Human Emperor, I agree with Fellow Guangchengzi's opinion. We will surely win the tenth battle!" Duobao's eyes were sharp, clearly showing his strong dissatisfaction with the previous defeats and his burning desire for victory.

Immediately, everyone expressed their opinions, but almost all of them were in favor of war, which made Xuanyuan very pleased.

Morale is up!

"Daoist Lord of the Clouds, what are your thoughts?" Xuanyuan fixed his gaze on Lord of the Clouds. He held this old minister of the Purple Mansion, Xuanyuan was destined to become the Heavenly Court Great Emperor, in high esteem.

Lord of the Clouds stepped forward and said, "Your Human Emperor, my opinion is also to wage war, and to make it a decisive battle that will Qiankun."

Xuanyuan was slightly taken aback. Although he advocated attacking, he had not thought of deciding the Qiankun in one battle. After all, the strength of Chi You's side was undeniable, and the eighty-one Great Witch of the Witch Clan were far too powerful.

"What insightful opinion do you have, my friend?"

Lord of the Clouds fixed his gaze on Duobao and then said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Sect Master Tongtian developed a formation for his disciples called the Myriad Immortals Formation. This formation was originally created by the Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Emperor, but was eventually abandoned because it caused harm to people."

"The Sect Master Tongtian's Myriad Immortals Formation has been slightly improved. It is no longer based on people as a formation, but on formations as a formation, with ten thousand formations combined. With this great formation, we will surely win this battle."

Xuanyuan turned his gaze to the Interception Sect camp, and saw Duobao nod, then say:

"Your Human Emperor, our sect does indeed possess a great formation called Ten Thousand Immortals, but this formation cannot be set up by just a few of us; it requires the intervention of Saint."

Lord of the Clouds shook his head and said, "Duobao Daoist Duobao, there's no need for that. The complete Myriad Immortals Formation Hun Yuan is comparable to a Primordial Chaos Realm expert, and we don't need to deal with Primordial Hunyuan Expert. So with our assistance, using the Human Emperor as the center and foundation of the formation, plus the Innate Supreme Treasure Kongtong Seal, that's enough!"

Duobao thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed a good idea. He then looked at Jin Ling Wudang the others beside him, and they nodded in agreement.

"Then I will teach you how to set up the Myriad Immortals Formation."

Xuanyuan laughed heartily and said, "Excellent."

On the battlefield of the Zhuolu, Xuanyuan's side set up the Myriad Immortals Formation, while Chi You's side also set up a simplified Twelve Dutian Great Formation. Eighty-one Great Witch, led by the Ancestor Witch Xuan Ming, stood majestically.

And high above the nine heavens, the Hunyuan Saint, including Donghua, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Houtu, sat in reverence.

"Fellow Daoists, I sense that a portion of the world-destroying origin of Shen Ni has dissipated. It seems that a man-made calamity can indeed replace a true calamity."

Everyone nodded in agreement, Tongtian exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Donghua is truly a genius! In the future, we only need to artificially induce small calamities one by one to delay the arrival of the Immeasurable Calamity. If one day the energy transformation reaches a qualitative change, the Immeasurable Calamity will no longer be able to descend."

"In this way, my Primordial Great World will become the Chaotic True Realm, existing forever with the Great Dao, enduring even when calamities destroy the world. This is truly a boundless merit. Please accept Tongtian's bow."

Everyone nodded and bowed to Donghua.

Donghua laughed heartily, making a gesture of helping everyone up, but he accepted their generous gifts in full, after all, he had indeed done a wonderful job.

"Since Fellow Daoist Luohu Hou has arrived, why not show yourself?" Donghua suddenly said in one direction.

As the words fell, Luohu appeared in the Sky Vault with Di Shitian.

As soon as the two appeared, Donghua focused all his attention on Di Shitian, completely ignoring Luohu.

Di Shitian did not back down at all, and the two stared at each other for a long time, meeting Donghua's gaze.

"I never expected that you would actually be able to return when you were Attain Hunyuan Dao. It is truly a case of the Great Dao reaching fifty and the Heavenly Evolution reaching forty-nine. You seized this glimmer of hope."

"Di Jun, how have you been?"

As soon as Donghua said this, everyone's eyes turned to Di Shitian. With the use of his divine powers, the Great Dao and the Dharma Eye swept over him without restraint.

This behavior was very impolite, but everyone ignored it at that moment.

"Di Jun? You can return?"

Yuanshi's voice was rather cold and aloof. Among the Three Pure Ones, he looked down on Di Jun the most, believing that this person was just a fame-seeker.

Di Shitian smiled gently and looked at everyone, saying, "Times have truly changed. I never thought we would meet again. Fellow Daoists, how have you been?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied. The name Di Jun represented so much, and everyone looked at Donghua, wanting to know his opinion on the matter.

Donghua, however, showed no expression and instead said, "Welcome back, fellow Daoist."

Di Jun's expression was quite complicated. In the end, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerate."

Fuxi breathed a sigh of relief. His feelings toward Di Jun were quite complicated, after all, Dijun was his former master, although they had parted ways due to differences in their ideals.

But now that Di Jun has returned, it signifies a new beginning, and he hopes that the past hatred will come to an end.

With Di Jun's submission, the crowd began to chat, while in the meantime, the battle raged fiercely on the battlefield below.

With the help of the Three Teachings, Xuanyuan set up the Myriad Immortals Formation, which also included various other formations.

For example, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and the Ten Absolute Arrays of the San Xiao, and the Two Modes Pure and Subtle Great Formation of the Human Teachings, etc.

On Chi You's side, there were the Four Great Demon Kings and Four Great Demon Generals of the Asura Race, as well as three hundred Heavenly Demons of the demon clan and eighty-one Great Witch of the Witch Clan.

This is a clash unique to Wanxian and Dutian.

"Back then, there was a duel between Dutian and Zhoutian, and also a duel between Wanxian and Zhoutian, but there was never a duel between Wanxian and Dutian. It's not easy to witness this scene today."

"Yes, the shock of the appearance of the Heavenly Capital and the Heavenly Cycle in the world is still vivid in my mind."

"..."

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Donghua said, "If there's any regret, shouldn't it be Fellow Daoist Tongtian's Immortal Slaying Sword Array? So far, Chaos has only used it once."

Tongtian's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Donghua with a complicated expression. The Immortal Slaying Sword Array had been broken by Donghua with force during its first appearance in his hands.

The title of the number one killing formation in the Primordial Wilderness seems somewhat undeserved.

"If any of you fellow Daoists are curious about my Immortal Slaying Sword Array, you are welcome to enter the realm and give it a try. I will absolutely satisfy your curiosity."

Everyone laughed, but no one wanted to try it. The title of the number one killing formation in the Primordial Wilderness was not given lightly, but earned through battle. Back then, Luohu used the Immortal Slaying Sword Array to fight against Hongjun, Yin-Yang and three other ancestors, but the final result was three dead and one injured.

This is how it earned the reputation of being the number one killing formation in the Primordial Wilderness.

Tongtian has been studying the Immortal Slaying Sword Array for many years now, and no one knows how powerful this formation is in Tongtian's hands. After all, they are not like Donghua, who possesses two supreme treasures and ultimately breaks the formation by force.

But the warmongering Nuwa seemed eager to try. "Senior Brother Tongtian, if you have time, you can give it a shot."

"Okay!" Tongtian's answer was brief and confident.

Below, on the battlefield, battle formations clashed, with Chi You and Xuanyuan locked in combat.

Meanwhile, on the Jiuli side, eighty-one Great Witch stood together, with countless Jiuli warriors and Witch Clan warriors behind them. Thousands of battle flags waved, and the power of the Great Witch and other Witch Clan were all channeled into Chi You through the battle flags.

The Blood Sha aura mixed with the earth's turbid Turbid Qi dyed the Zhuolu Plains blood red.

At this moment, Chi You's cultivation reached its peak, and an inexplicable and powerful force suddenly rose up, originating from Chi You. It was filled with a fierce aura that could destroy everything, covering the sky and earth, yet it also appeared exceptionally sacred.

The Divine Blood Qi mixed with the Innate Turbid Sha Qi gradually formed a Dharma image, which stood behind Chi You. In an instant, the clouds in the nine heavens moved, the Sky Vault trembled, and the earth cried out!

Then, he chanted the name "Pangu," and the Pangu True Body reappeared in the Primordial Wilderness.

However, this is a low-end version of Pangu True Body; it doesn't even possess Pangu's Daoist essence. It has the form but lacks the spirit and Dao.

Chi You then summoned a blood-red divine axe, Pangu True Body summoned it, causing the axe to fall into his hand.

"You brat, Xuanyuan, come and fight!"

Xuanyuan, standing in the center of the Myriad Immortals Formation, instantly recognized the origin of the Divine Axe. It was a spiritual treasure forged from the essence and blood of humankind, just like the Taishi Sword in his hand.

No, it should be his Xuanyuan Sword now!

Pangu True Body stood tall in the Sky Vault, his body radiating immense Great Dao Power, his eyes filled with the power of the Great Dao Rules.

Xuanyuan gazed upon the Pangu True Body before him, a sense of awe washed over him. This was the second time he had ever seen the Pangu True Body.

This was indeed the first time I had faced the Pangu True Body, and the power he possessed was awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Xuanyuan quickly adjusted his mindset. He had now awakened his memories of his Previous Life, and his cultivation had naturally reached the Peak Quasi-Saint. He did not look down on Chi You at all.

"You brat, Xuanyuan, come and taste the power of Dutian!"

Chi You roared angrily, then without wasting any words, he immediately activated the Dutian Great Formation.

"Come on, I'm looking forward to it too!"

After Xuanyuan finished speaking, he summoned the Kongtong Seal and placed it above his head. Then, the Human Emperor's Dharma Image appeared, a massive Dharma Image that was no less than the Pangu True Body.

"Take this!"

An ancient voice rang out, sounding like a god, a deity, or a demon, utterly devoid of emotion!

Pangu True Body moved, and the Great Dao Rules converged in his eyes, representing metal, wood, water, fire, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the two paths of time and space. Then, with a sudden swing, an axe beam that was hundreds of millions of miles long cleaved through the air, unleashing terrifying magical power.

Qiankun shattered, and the earth descended into chaos.

The axe's edge tore through the endless void.

The evolution of the Four Symbols elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind.

It was as if the world had just been created!

Xuanyuan did not back down in the slightest. The Human Emperor's Dharma Image moved, and he swung the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand. The Three Thousand Great Daos illuminated the Primordial Wilderness, and the brilliant imperial light condensed on the sword.

"Sword One: Heaven Opening!"

His Previous Life Heavenly Sovereign, came from the Dao of Donghua, possessing the image and bloodline of Donghua. His cultivation can be said to have been entirely inherited from Donghua.

A dazzling light appeared between heaven and earth, and the endless light of the Great Dao shone brightly in harmony.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought countless rounds.

Meanwhile, the two armies clashed, and people from the Three Teachings, humans, Witch Clan, Asura Race died at any moment.

The Dao light of the Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods the Gods seemed to lock onto everything in the world. Anyone who met the criteria for Investiture of the Gods had their last trace of true spirit absorbed into them at the moment of death.

Within the earthly realm, the Human Book of Book of Life and Death and the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Reincarnation Seal, are constantly absorbing the true spirits of the deceased, who ultimately enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation through the Book of Life and Death.

In the midst of continuous battles, this great war of Investiture of the Gods has reached its final and crucial moment.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise clans set up the Four Symbols and Four Spirits Formation, surrounding the entire Jiuli force from all sides. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation resembled a celestial river running through the entire battlefield.

The Three Xiao Fairies, wielding magical treasures, obliterated anyone who entered the formation.

Holding the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram, Xuandu formed an array by himself and fought against the Ancestor Witch Xuan Ming alone.

Although Xuandu couldn't defeat Xuan Ming, he managed to hold Xuan Ming off using the Taiji Diagram.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, wielding their magical treasures, charged into the battlefield, slaughtering their way across the battlefield in a single, continuous line.

Meanwhile, the five direct disciples of the Interception Sect were stationed in the Myriad Immortals Formation, dragging the Four Great Demon Kings and numerous Great Witch to their deaths within the formation.

At this point in the battle, the outcome is already quite clear.

Meanwhile, in the Sky Vault, the battle between Xuanyuan and Chi You had entered its final stage.

"Chi You, if you surrender, I may spare your life."

Chi You sneered, "Xuanyuan little brat, you think you can kill me? Dream on!"

Chi You was stubborn, but his injuries were even more painful. After all, he only had the cultivation of Peak Quasi-Saint thanks to the Dutian Great Formation, while Xuanyuan himself was already Peak Quasi-Saint. If the battle continued, he would undoubtedly lose.

Upon hearing Chi You's words, Xuanyuan's expression turned cold. He had assumed that Chi You would surrender like Flame Emperor Yan Ju, but he hadn't expected this guy to be so stubborn.

"Since that's the case, then please, Chi You, reincarnate!"

As Xuanyuan finished speaking, his true form merged with the Human Emperor's Dharma form. The Innate Supreme Treasure Kongtong Seal, transformed into nine dragons that coiled around his body. The Xuanyuan Sword unleashed a river of swords spanning billions of miles, immeasurable power amplifying it.

"Xuanhuang Emperor Kill!"

A single sword strike was unleashed, as if the Sky Collapse!

Seeing Xuanyuan's sword strike, Donghua nodded in satisfaction, for he knew the outcome of this battle was already decided; Xuanyuan had forged his own path based on his foundation.

That sword strike was incredibly powerful!

Just as Donghua had predicted, Chi You was defeated by Xuanyuan's sword, and defeated utterly.

The spirit blade in his hand shattered, and the Heavenly Array collapsed.

The Xuanyuan Sword pierced through Chi You's true form, shattering his primordial spirit, thus ending the reign of the great king Chi You.

Chi You's death marked the end of the Battle of Zhuolu.
