Houtu's Assistance, Joining Forces to Destroy the Demon

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu was startled and cried out, "Houtu N... Houtu Daoist Houtu, I am a hermit who Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves. Please help me destroy this Demon Lord. I will be eternally grateful!"

In his excitement, Wu Chu almost called out "Houtu" aloud.

He never imagined that Nuwa would guide Houtu to this place, and that he would happen to encounter the Demon Ancestor Clone descending to plot against him. It was truly...

Ah! Fate, how wonderfully mysterious!

Wu Chu was almost moved to tears; indeed, it was the Empress Nuwa who knew how to care for people.

Bang--

With just one punch, the golden fist light, like the sun, illuminated the heavens and the earth. The raging torrent of dark sword energy, under the illumination of that golden fist light, disintegrated and vanished like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

The Rolling air currents emanated from this point and swept outwards in all directions. The Mountain Protection Array above Purple Jade Mountain flickered with purple light under the influence of these air currents, as if it were groaning.

Little Moon Spirit and the others, who were originally watching Wu Chu and Tianmu Daoist fight in the sky from the Summit of the Sacred Tree, were all startled by the sweeping shockwave.

At first, they were worried that Wu Chu's cultivation had not recovered and that he would not be able to defeat Tianmu Daoist, but when Wu Chu used his Yibao to block the opponent without any serious danger, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially when they saw someone suddenly appear and attack Tianmu Daoist, they even jumped for joy. But in the blink of an eye, the shockwaves generated by the confrontation between the two were almost able to overturn Purple Jade Mountain, which made them worried.

Just as they were worrying about this, the Merit Rune Divine Chain that Yibao had previously separated gradually intertwined into a rune cage outside Tianmu Daoist's body.

"Trying to trap me? Dream on!"

Tianmu Daoist gave a soft shout, and with a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.

But the next moment, a golden fist beam blasted him back.

And so, the two figures flashed in the air, streaks of mysterious light and fist energy flashing like lightning in different locations. This repeated more than ten times, and even Tianmu Daoist could not escape Houtu's precise strikes. Every time he flashed away, Houtu was able to strike back and appear in front of him, blasting him back with a punch.

Although it was Demon Ancestor Clone descended, the cultivation level of the Tianmu Daoist was far inferior to that Houtu. In front of Houtu, this Demon Ancestor Clone could not easily escape.

In this way, Tianmu Daoist Merit Divine Pattern Cage by Yibao.

Upon seeing this, Tianmu Daoist roared angrily, swayed, and his body swelled up like an inflating balloon, rising tens of thousands of feet high, causing the Merit Divine Patterns to become distorted.

At the same time, a graceful figure dressed in a yellow robe appeared next to the golden 'sphere prison' formed by the Merit Runes. With a sway, her figure instantly grew taller, transforming in the blink of an eye into a ten-thousand-foot-tall being with a human head and a snake's body, and multiple arms on her back.

The colossal body's hands seemed to grasp the Qiankun of the Yin Yang, clenching into fists and unleashing a series of punches at the swollen and deformed sphere of Merit Runes. Several other arms extended, transforming into giant palms that supported the sky, instantly seizing the Merit Divine Pattern Sphere runes in their grasp.

Upon seeing this, Wu Chu wanted nothing more than to shout, "Let's get him!"

The Demon Ancestor Clone seemed to have not expected to encounter such a powerful woman. She attacked with all her might from the very beginning, and in the blink of an eye, she rendered him powerless to fight back.

Of course, he didn't know that Yibao was actually a woman, otherwise he would understand that the saying "women hold up half the sky" is no joke.

Inside the Golden Merit Sphere, the Tianmu Daoist roared incessantly, but faced with the relentless Yibao and the all-powerful Houtu, even the Demon Ancestor Clone was helpless.

The sword energy was blocked by the Golden Merit Sphere Houtu of Merit, and the wisps of demonic energy were disintegrated and dissolved by the Merit Power within the Golden Merit Sphere.

In the end, Tianmu Daoist was ground down by Yibao's boundless Merit and transformed into a purplish-black Heavenly Centipede over a thousand meters long.

"Uh... he's dead?"

Looking at the grotesque creature falling from the sky, at its countless feet and eyes, Wu Chu was thankful he didn't have trypophobia. To be honest, Wu Chu didn't even know what the Heavenly Centipede's eyes did. It seemed that after being Demon Ancestor Clone's clone, the Tianmu Daoist hadn't used his own magical abilities.

Yibao responded in Wu Chu's mind, "Yes, he's completely dead. His Primordial Spirit has been devoured by the Demon Ancestor Clone, and now that the demonic energy has been worn away by my Merit Power, his Primordial Spirit has naturally dissipated. Of course, even if he were alright, I would still kill him."

Indeed, never offend a woman easily!

Yibao's anger towards Tianmu Daoist seemed rather inexplicable. Although Wu Chu was also somewhat angry at first, it was mostly directed at the Demon Ancestor. Tianmu Daoist was also a victim, just unlucky to have encountered this super Demon Lord.

Wu Chu also felt that he was unlucky. Not many people actually knew that he possessed Merit Supreme Treasure, but Tianmu Daoist was the one who had his eye on him.

Wu Chu was unaware that the Demon Ancestor learned of his possession of Merit Supreme Treasure from Ao Yuan, which is why he set his sights on Tianmu Daoist and sent Tianmu Daoist to test him.

"So, we didn't let that Demon Ancestor Clone escape? The Demon Ancestor himself might not even know that we possess Merit Supreme Treasure?" Wu Chu asked.

Yibao sighed softly, "Even if we don't know now, since Tianmu Daoist, that Old Demon will definitely send people to test us again. We'll probably have to move."

As they were talking, a massive golden pillar of light descended from the sky and split in two, directly engulfing Wu Chu and Hou Houtu, who had regained her form.

The Merit Golden Light that fell upon Wu Chu split in two, with ninety percent being absorbed by Yibao.

After the golden beam of light dissipated, Yibao paused for a moment and said, "Master, I think we should reconsider the moving plan!"

"..."

Although I only tagged along and benefited from the little elf Yibao's fame, I have to say, the Merit I gained this time seems to be quite substantial.

Wu Chu understood perfectly why Yibao was being so contradictory.

He hadn't expected that the Demon Ancestor would incur such divine hatred at this time; merely destroying one of his avatars would grant him such a great reward of Merit.

"Did the Heavenly Dao replenish the Merit you had previously depleted?"

"Hehe, there's still a little surplus! Also, I obtained the Indestructible Spirit Light from within that Heavenly Centipede... I wonder what will happen after I refine that Indestructible Spirit Light."

Wu Chu frowned, wanting to ask Yibao if absorbing the Indestructible Spirit Light would allow one to transform from the acquired to the Acquired Innate? Wouldn't the Heavenly Dao send down calamities? It seemed that the Heaven-and-Earth Cauldron was the supreme Supreme Treasure for transforming Acquired the acquired to the Innate realm, and it was said that using it would consume Fortune.

Before he could even ask, Houtu, who had received the reward of Heavenly Dao Merit, bowed to Wu Chu and said, "This humble Houtu is Houtu. Are you alright, fellow Daoist?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing... I'm extremely grateful for Fellow Daoist Houtu's help Houtu!"
