In the Primordial World, time went uncounted, and several hundred yuanhui passed quietly by.
Within Yujing Mountain, Hongjun sat cross-legged inside his cave dwelling, immortal light flowing around him. Suddenly, two familiar auras stirred outside.
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, how have your injuries recovered?"
The Dao avatars of the Five Elements Demon God and the Yin-Yang Demon God arrived side by side, landing before Yujing Mountain.
Hongjun rose and walked out of his cave dwelling. He cupped his hands with a smile. "Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoists. This old Daoist is no longer seriously injured. Have you two come today because you are ready?"
The Five Elements Demon God's Dao avatar nodded solemnly. "Indeed. We cannot bear to see the countless living beings of the Primordial World suffer under the Demon Clan's persecution. Today, we shall settle matters with Luo Hou. However, we must ask you to act first and lure Luo Hou out of Mount Sumeru."
Hongjun sneered inwardly. Cannot bear to see the living beings of the Primordial World suffer? Since when did Demon Gods have morals? What a pretty speech. They want this old Daoist to be their vanguard because they fear I might plot against them, don't they?
Yet he wore a righteous expression as he flicked his Whisk. "You two have noble intentions. Then let us depart."
The three immediately set out. Upon reaching the outskirts of Mount Sumeru, the Five Elements Demon God and Yin-Yang exchanged a glance. Each formed hand seals to conceal the heavenly secrets, then hid within the void and suppressed all traces of their auras.
Hongjun stood alone above Mount Sumeru. After taking a deep breath, he called out loudly:
"Luo Hou! Today, this old Daoist shall slay demons once more for the countless living beings of the Primordial World!"
As his words fell, the depths of Mount Sumeru suddenly shook.
A streak of black light shot into the heavens. Luo Hou stood in the void with the God-Slaying Spear in hand, facing Hongjun from afar.
"Hongjun, you old fool. I spared you last time, yet you still dare come here to die?"
Hongjun swept his Whisk, immortal light blazing around him. "Dao and demons cannot coexist!"
With that, he swept his Whisk forward. Tens of thousands of seven-colored rays transformed into blades of light and slashed toward Luo Hou.
Luo Hou sneered and swept out his God-Slaying Spear. Wherever the spear light passed, the blades of light shattered inch by inch.
"Courting death! Today, I shall cut down you worm!"
His figure flashed. The Law of Slaughter surged across the God-Slaying Spear, its tip pointed directly at Hongjun.
"Dao-Slaying!"
The familiar roar echoed across the heavens. Blood-red lightning instantly condensed into a massive spear phantom, crashing down with the force to destroy all things.
The Pseudo-Creation Jade Disk spun rapidly above Hongjun's head. Three thousand Dao patterns wove into a curtain of light, while his Whisk transformed into a long rainbow and collided head-on with the spear phantom.
The spear phantom shattered. Hongjun's body swayed slightly, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"That is all you can do?"
Luo Hou sneered and lunged forward with his spear. The two figures instantly became locked in battle.
Within a single breath, the space spanning billions of miles reformed over a million times. Even Great Golden Immortals exerting their divine senses to the fullest could only catch two blurry streaks of light.
Every collision between them was accompanied by deafening thunder and shockwaves powerful enough to tear apart heaven and earth.
The entire Primordial World had its attention fixed upon this battle.
On Qilin Cliff, Shi Qilin stood with his hands behind his back, his expression grave as he gazed westward.
Beside him, Jade Qilin watched the distant battle anxiously. At last, he could not help asking, "Father... can Senior Hongjun win this time?"
Shi Qilin remained silent for a long time without answering.
He turned to look at Jade Qilin beside him, a faint, nearly imperceptible sorrow flashing through his eyes.
"I do not know. Let us hope so."
"If he loses... lead Jade Qilin's branch away from Qilin Cliff. Find a place to hide and preserve the Qilin Clan's last embers."
Jade Qilin's body trembled. Looking up at his father, he understood that Shi Qilin intended to personally lead the entire clan into a fight to the death.
He nodded silently and said nothing. Standing shoulder to shoulder with his father, he continued watching the battle in silence.
The same scene unfolded among the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan. The pride of the Innate Three Clans would not allow them to surrender.
The battle continued for several entire yuanhui.
Hongjun and Luo Hou were both covered in wounds, yet neither retreated even half a step.
After another exchange, Hongjun was sent flying backward, smashing a bottomless crater into the earth.

Luo Hou stood in the void, looking down at the blood-soaked figure at the bottom of the crater. He let out a mocking sneer. "Hongjun, you old fool, is that all you can do?"
He raised the God-Slaying Spear, red light flowing over its tip. "Then die today!"
At the bottom of the crater, Hongjun suddenly spoke weakly toward the void:
"Two fellow Daoists... how much longer do you intend to watch? If you do not act now, this old Daoist will perish into the Dao..."
The void fell briefly still.
Then, two figures slowly emerged from it.
"Do not panic, Fellow Daoist Hongjun. We have come!"
Luo Hou's pupils contracted. He abruptly withdrew his spear and retreated, staring warily at the two suddenly appearing figures. "So it is you two. What, are you here to help him?"
The Five Elements Demon God's Dao avatar stepped forward. "We merely cannot bear to see the Primordial World suffer such a calamity. Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, if you stop now and leave the Primordial World, it is not yet too late."
Hearing this, Luo Hou laughed in extreme anger. "Stop putting on an act before me! Since you have come to die, then die together!"
He took a deep breath, and the Law of Slaughter around him suddenly surged!
That enormous Dharma image appeared once again, occupying the entire sky.
"Dao-Slaying, Heaven-Slaughter, God Annihilation!"
"Three moves as one... slash!"
The Dharma image raised its spear and thrust down. The Five Elements Demon God's Dao avatar turned grave and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, protect us!"
His hands swiftly formed seals at the same time.
"Five Elements Killing Array, arise!"
"Yin-Yang Taiji Array, arise!"
Yin-Yang acted at the same time.
The two great arrays, one above and one below, instantly trapped Luo Hou between them. One shimmered with five-colored radiance as countless Five Elements divine swords whistled forth. The other revolved like a Yin-Yang fish, its two energies cycling endlessly as they continuously wore away at Luo Hou's Law of Slaughter.
Seeing this, Hongjun endured his injuries and rapidly pointed with both hands. The three thousand Great Dao laws of the Pseudo-Creation Jade Disk condensed into a membrane of light, protecting Five Elements and Yin-Yang within it.
Trapped within the two arrays, Luo Hou was driven back step by step by the dense barrage of law attacks, fresh wounds continuously appearing across his body.
At the same time, the Dharma image's spear struck the light membrane covering Five Elements and Yin-Yang.
Clang!!!
With a tremendous crash, the violently trembling light membrane blocked the blow. Yet Five Elements and Yin-Yang both groaned, their primordial spirits wracked by agonizing pain as though being torn apart.
Luo Hou bombarded the great arrays madly. Every strike left both arrays on the verge of collapse. "Bastards! Break for me!"
Luo Hou's Dharma image also continuously stabbed fiercely at the light membrane. With every thrust, Five Elements and Yin-Yang's faces grew a shade paler.
Hongjun stood to the side, watching Luo Hou struggle desperately within the arrays, then glancing at the pale-faced Five Elements and Yin-Yang. His gaze flickered slightly.
It is about time...
He suddenly formed a hand seal, and the light membrane abruptly vanished!
The expressions on Five Elements and Yin-Yang's faces first turned to astonishment, then terror.
"Hongjun?"
Freed from the obstruction of the light membrane, the Dharma image's spear came crashing down with world-destroying force!
Boom!!!
Amid their screams, the two figures plummeted at tremendous speed, and the earth for billions of miles shattered inch by inch.
On Luo Hou's side, the two great arrays lost their array masters and were also blasted apart from within by Luo Hou.
The Five Elements Demon God and Yin-Yang Demon God shot up from the crater. Both were drenched in blood, clearly having suffered grave injuries.
They glared furiously at Hongjun, disbelief filling their eyes. "Hongjun! What is the meaning of this?"
Hongjun did not answer them. He turned to Luo Hou and smiled faintly. "Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, why not activate the great array now?"
A vicious smile appeared on Luo Hou's lips. Raising a hand, he formed a seal and shouted:
"Immortal-Execution Sword Array... arise!"
