Nuwa Could Be Slain Too! Dao Companion Fate Revealed!

A cold gleam flashed, its edge fully revealed.

Lingxiao's spear shot forth like a dragon. Every strike harvested the life of an Interception Sect disciple. As their bodies turned into a rain of blood, their Primordial Spirits and true spirits were also scorched by Nine Nether Demon Fire.

All those steeped in sin were cast by Lingxiao into a place of eternal damnation.

These inner and outer disciples of the Interception Sect did not even qualify to enter the Investiture of the Gods. After their bodies perished and their Dao faded, only a remnant soul of their true spirits remained, guided by the laws of heaven and earth toward the Netherworld Underworld.

"Treasure, please turn around!"

Lu Ya was frantic. He could not simply watch all the Interception Sect disciples perish.

He sacrificed the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, intending to kill Lingxiao.

A streak of white light suddenly appeared, slashing toward Lingxiao's chest with lightning speed.

Its momentum was fierce and unstoppable!

"Damn it!"

Lingxiao circulated his mana, intending to block the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger. He also used the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to protect his Primordial Spirit and true spirit, lest he suffer harm.

"Hmph!"

At the critical moment, Wangshu appeared before Lingxiao.

With only a light wave of her jade sleeve, the laws of Taiyin transformed into a barrier that blocked the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger. Then, an overwhelming aura sent Lu Ya, Zhao Gongming, and the Golden-Winged Great Roc flying.

Seizing this chance, Lingxiao flashed behind Lu Ya, planning to pierce him through with the Godslaying Spear!

"Spare others where you can!"

"East Pole Qinghua Emperor, Lu Ya is the descendant of an old acquaintance of mine. Since you have already slain so many Interception Sect disciples, should your anger not have subsided by now?"

A figure appeared between heaven and earth.

Noble and regal, inviolable!

It was Nuwa, the Mother of Humanity and one of the former Demon Emperors of the Demon Race Heavenly Court!

"Heavenly Dao Saints must not lightly interfere in the affairs of the Primordial World!"

"Could it be that Lady Nuwa wishes to defy the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor, and forge karma with the Heavenly Court?"

Lingxiao gripped the Godslaying Spear tightly, raised his head, and questioned her.

Baleful aura and blood-colored killing light coiled around him. He stood with his spine straight, killing intent in his calm eyes, showing not the slightest regard for Nuwa.

During the Witch-Demon Calamity, Nuwa had allowed the Demon Race to massacre humanity. Had Lingxiao not led some Interception Sect disciples in resistance, this slaughter would have spread across the entire human race.

Yet even so, ninety percent of humanity's living beings had been slaughtered.

From then on, humans and demons were irreconcilable!

Nuwa, on the other hand, accepted humanity's offerings while also enjoying the Demon Race's providence.

Lingxiao bore no malice toward this Heavenly Dao Saint, but he absolutely could not summon any goodwill toward her!

Hearing this, Nuwa parted her red lips and said calmly, "I have no intention of defying the Heavenly Dao or the Dao Ancestor. I merely wish for you to spare Lu Ya's life!"

Having said that!

Nuwa's saintly might stirred slightly, and Lu Ya, along with those inner and outer Interception Sect disciples of Demon Race lineage, instantly vanished. Only Zhao Gongming, the Golden-Winged Great Roc, and fewer than a hundred others were left staring at one another.

"A Heavenly Dao baleful treasure can injure Saints. I never expected the Godslaying Spear to fall into your hands. But do not overestimate yourself in all things, or you will only bring suffering upon yourself!"

Nuwa's indifferent voice rang out once more, and then her figure became illusory.

At this sight!

Lingxiao raised his voice and said, "Any demon who dares wreak havoc upon the world and bring slaughter and disaster shall, if encountered by me, be slain without mercy."

"If Saint Nuwa insists on her course and repeatedly shelters that mongrel Golden Crow Lu Ya, then do not blame me for disregarding your dignity."

"If a Heavenly Dao Saint proves unworthy of their station, then they should be slain!"

The moment these words fell, they resounded throughout the Eastern Sea.

Lingxiao gave Nuwa no face at all. Instead, he rebuked and threatened her. Where was there any trace of respect for a Saint?

Thunder rumbled, and wind and clouds lost their color.

Nuwa descended with towering saintly might, about to inflict a slight punishment upon Lingxiao.

Just then, from the direction of Longevity Mountain, two currents of mana carrying the ultimate truths of heaven and earth protected Lingxiao.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, if you have no shame, then none of us will have a good time!"

Zhenyuanzi's voice carried anger. He directly ground Nuwa's dignity into the dirt, while the Heavenly Dao merit golden light soaring into the sky displayed his divine might.

The Earth Book manifested, connecting the immortal blessed lands and earth veins of the Primordial World!

With but a thought from Zhenyuanzi, the entire Primordial World could collapse and shatter. When that time came, karmic sin would not only descend upon him, but also cause Nuwa to fall from her position as a Heavenly Dao Saint.

"Madman!"

Her saintly might dispersed as Nuwa cursed angrily.

Then she vanished!

"Many thanks to Immortal Zhenyuan and Senior Hongyun for intervening in time!"

Lingxiao let out a breath of relief, then clasped his hands in salute toward Longevity Mountain.

Immediately after!

A kind and benevolent voice drifted over.

"A mere gesture of the hand. Why mention it?"

"When will you introduce the Taiyin Goddess to Hongyun and me? I have gained an insight from the ultimate truths of the Heavenly Dao, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun has also sent down a revelation: the two of you share Dao companion fate!"

"Haha..."

The Dao voice echoed, then faded away.

Lingxiao looked toward Wangshu and saw that her pretty face had faintly reddened.

"Thank you for blocking the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger for me just now!"

Feigning composure, Lingxiao gave Wangshu a light nod.

"I will return to cultivate first!"

Wangshu spoke to herself, with no intention of paying Lingxiao any attention. In the blink of an eye, she had returned to the Purification-Creation Dao Palace.

Seeing this, Lingxiao's heart surged like stormy waves.

"Dao companion fate, personally designated by the Dao Ancestor!"

"Excellent!"

Chaos Demon Gods were not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World or Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Even though Lingxiao had helped Wangshu cleanse the various ominous laws from her body, she still could not gain Dao Ancestor Hongjun's complete recognition. At present, she was only a mid-stage Quasi-Sage and would not be rejected by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

However, possessing the lineage of a Chaos Demon God meant that Wangshu would sooner or later attain the Dao of Hunyuan. At that time, regardless of whether she benefited or harmed the Primordial World, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would cast her out.

But now, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had personally sent Zhenyuanzi a revelation, saying that Wangshu and Lingxiao shared Dao companion fate. This meant that as long as they formed a good union, Wangshu would be able to truly establish herself in the Primordial World.

After all!

Lingxiao was the East Pole Qinghua Emperor, and his future fortune was bound to the Heavenly Dao!

"Junior brothers, let us go!"

Zhao Gongming finally came to his senses and prepared to lead the Golden-Winged Great Roc and the remaining Interception Sect disciples away.

Oil on the soles of their feet—run while the wind was high.

Lu Ya and the Interception Sect disciples of Demon Race lineage had Lady Nuwa's protection, but their master, Lord Tongtian, had not appeared from beginning to end. This left Zhao Gongming terrified out of his wits.

Besides, Wangshu, a mighty Quasi-Sage, was on Penglai Immortal Island. He had no desire to provoke Lingxiao again.

"Did I permit you to leave?"

"You defied the Heavenly Dao, disrespected the Heavenly Court, and acted wildly before my Dao field. Who gave you such nerve?"

"By the decree of the East Pole Qinghua Emperor, I summon the thunder tribulation of punishment to suppress you all, as a warning to others!"

Lingxiao's tone was calm, yet killing intent lay hidden within it.

Heavenly Dao providence and the Heavenly Dao Merit Golden Wheel immediately appeared behind him out of thin air. At some unknown point, the Pure Yang Sword had appeared in his hand, and he used his authority over the Heavenly Dao to invoke heavenly punishment!

A Thunder Punishment Pool tore through the void.

Blood light flashed, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Geng Metal Divine Lightning, Heart Demon Thunder Punishment... and even deep within that thunder pool, Zhao Gongming and the others saw a bolt of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning. Its profound violet radiance shook their souls, making them tremble.

"Lingxiao, you cannot do this!"

"If anything happens to us, you will absolutely be unable to escape responsibility."

The Golden-Winged Great Roc swallowed hard and forced himself to speak despite his trembling legs. In his heart, he prayed for rescue from Lord Tongtian, Kong Xuan, or someone else.

Since his birth, this was the first time the Golden-Winged Great Roc had sensed that he was about to perish!

Hearing this, Lingxiao chuckled. "Do not think I do not know what you are plotting! Lord Tongtian wished to scheme in secret, so he issued an order that he was in seclusion. Who could have expected him to steal a chicken only to lose the rice?"

"If he were to cast aside his dignity and intervene, I could spare your lives. But now, you shall atone here before Penglai Immortal Island!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lingxiao activated his mana.

In an instant!

The thunder pool poured down, engulfing Zhao Gongming and the Golden-Winged Great Roc.

As for the other Interception Sect disciples, all those deeply steeped in sin had already been reduced to ashes. The rest had already received Lingxiao's punishment, so he did not let them suffer another undeserved calamity.

"No!"

Zhao Gongming roared, activating twelve Sea-Calming Pearls in an attempt to break free. Yet the next instant, his spiritual treasures flew into Lingxiao's hand and then vanished.

The Golden-Winged Great Roc's Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle was likewise seized by Lingxiao!

After doing all this, Lingxiao looked at the bewildered and terrified inner and outer Interception Sect disciples. A thought emerged in his heart, then became impossible to restrain.

"Immortal Dingguang, Zhao Gongming, and the Golden-Winged Great Roc disrespected the Heavenly Dao and brought chaos to the world. Their crimes deserve execution! Yet Heaven cherishes life, so I am willing to give them an opportunity."

"However, during the bloody battle just now, I suffered grievous injuries and require compensation from the Interception Sect. I think the Green Duckweed Sword shares an affinity with me."

"If the Interception Sect wishes to settle this karma with me, then use the Green Duckweed Sword to..."
