Facing the pincer attack from the two of them, the Ancient Sage had no choice but to withdraw the Weapon-Extinguishing Wheel and hold it above his head.
Silver light burst forth with boundless brilliance. The Weapon-Extinguishing Wheel revealed its true form: merely the size of a millstone, its entire body gleaming silver, like a broad, thick silver cake.
Its surface was carved with countless dense patterns, flashing with holy light and shaped like every sort of weapon—blades, spears, swords, shields, and more. They were precisely the holy markings of the Weapon Saint.
Chu Yun blew the Tuo Sound Conch, while the Central Divine Bell on the other side also shook out vast sound waves.
Under the two-pronged assault, the Ancient Sage gave a muffled groan, and bluish-red holy blood streamed from his nostrils.
The Weapon-Extinguishing Wheel excelled at attack but was weak in defense. Among holy relics, it ranked near the bottom in defensive power, so naturally it could not fully protect the Ancient Sage.
"Good!" The Pill Saint's avatar bellowed, his spirits lifting as his attacks surged toward the Ancient Sage like tidal waves.
Chu Yun likewise blew the Tuo Sound Conch with all his strength. The conch's notes blended with the bell chimes, shaking heaven and earth and shattering the cosmos.
The Ancient Sage sneered a few times, withdrew the Weapon-Extinguishing Wheel, and switched to another holy relic.
This relic resembled an octagonal purple-sandalwood lantern. The light within was like a pill, illuminating the nine netherworlds, the ten lands, and all living things. It was the Pill Saint's holy relic—the Pill Treasure Lamp.
Under its radiance, the Ancient Sage's injuries instantly healed in full. Refreshed and clear-headed, he returned to his peak, flawless state.
The Pill Saint had brought this holy relic with him to the Abyssal Sea
