Boom!

The clash between the mouth in Chiyou’s palm and the Xuanyuan Sword instantly created a black hole, tearing the surrounding space.

The pure-white noble spirit and the pitch-black demonic Shaman Energy collided, negating each other.

However, Ji Dihong had driven the power of his nation, so his attack ended up slightly more powerful.

After a brief standoff, a deafening roar echoed as the colossal mouth in Chiyou’s palm burst open. In an instant, the sword light reached Chiyou.

With a fierce expression, Chiyou counterpunched.

Boom!

Chiyou had to go all out to shatter that sword light, and his figure halted.

“Ji Dihong? To think you have also reached the consummation of the spiritual souls?” Chiyou goggled.

“Did you think we neglected our cultivation after gaining our nation?” Ji Dihong sneered.

“Chiyou, back when Jiang Lianshan sealed you in the Eastern Sea, we knew he was helping you cultivate the demonic Shaman Energy, helping you attain the Indestructible Demonic Shaman Body. However, so what if you have the Indestructible Demonic Shaman Body? I’ll still behead you with our Xuanyuan Sword today!” Ji Dihong shouted.

After shouting, Ji Dihong swung his sword again.

After driving the power of his nation, Ji Dihong had reached the peak of his strength. When he swung his sword, millions of sword qi appeared in the sky. Every strand of sword qi exuded the aura of a sovereign. The attack felt like a sovereign coming to strike at the five.

“Hah!” Chiyou shouted and opened his mouth.

Whoosh!

Like a whale swallowing water, Chiyou ingested all the sword qi into his stomach.

“Is that all you have?” Chiyou sneered.

“World devouring? It is indeed incredible. Unfortunately, didn’t the ancient shaman race meet the same end as the animal spirit race?” Ji Dihong retorted with a cold smile.

Still smiling coldly, Ji Dihong looked at the other four.

“Brother Hou Yi, Brother Xingtian, how have you been?” Ji Dihong greeted.

Hou Yi and Xingtian showed cold expressions, ignoring Ji Dihong.

“We did not expect to meet our comrades in arms today,” Ji Dihong sighed.

“Hah! Comrades? Why didn’t you think about your ‘comrades’ when you betrayed the previous emperor? Why didn’t you think of the grace your sovereign showed you?” Xingtian sneered.

Ji Dihong did not get angry. Instead, he explained, “The grace our sovereign showed me? It is true that we once owed Jiang Lianshan a debt of gratitude when we were part of the Yan Heavenly Dynasty. However, we have long since repaid that debt. He himself declared that we officials were free to stay or leave, and we chose to establish the Huang Heavenly Dynasty. Why should we continue to be subservient to him? Out of consideration for our past relationship, we granted his every request. Wasn’t that enough? He willingly sought his own demise eight hundred thousand years in the past, challenging the Six Paths Veritable Lord. Since he was determined to die, should we have joined him in death?”

“Humph! You know what the truth is. You know better than anyone else how you obtained your Huang Heavenly Dynasty,” Xingtian said coldly.

“Of course, we built the Huang Heavenly Dynasty through our own efforts. There is no ambiguity about that. Brother Xingtian, do not allow yourself to be deceived by others’ words. As for you, Brother Hou Yi, we express our gratitude for sparing Ao Ying, Fengbo, and Xiong You earlier. Thank you,” Ji Dihong said gravely.

“Gratitude? There’s no need for that!” Hou Yi said indifferently.

Ji Dihong said solemnly, “Rest assured. We will remember your kindness. Regardless of what happens, we will not harm you.”

Hou Yi raised his eyebrows.

Chiyou sneered, “Ji Dihong, I’ve noticed that you haven’t changed a bit. You’re still so devious and cunning, trying to undermine our morale before the battle. Don’t you just want to prevent Hou Yi from giving his all against you?”

Ji Dihong ignored Chiyou, turning his gaze to Shangguan Hen and Gu Han.

“Are you two here to deliver a declaration of war from the Han Imperial Dynasty to the Huang Heavenly Dynasty?” Ji Dihong’s voice was icy.

“We heed the command of the Nine Li Imperial Emperor. Your threats won’t make us abandon our stance, Huang Heavenly Emperor.” Gu Han shook his head.

“Trying to sow division among us? Ji Dihong, it seems like you’re already trembling with fear,” Chiyou sneered.

“Fear? Perhaps.” Ji Dihong’s expression turned solemn. “Chiyou, are you ready? Here we come!”

Chiyou shouted, “Bring it—”

But before he could finish his sentence, Ji Dihong darted forward like an arrow shooting towards Chiyou and his companions.

“Attack!” Chiyou bellowed.

Boom!

The Xuanyuan Sword’s sword light illuminated the entire area, instantly shattering the space where the six combatants stood. Simultaneously, the tremendous force generated a whirlwind that swept mountains, forests, and rocks into the sky, drawing it all into a black hole. The center of the battlefield became chaotic, obscuring the view of its interior.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous sounds shook the earth as sword lights erupted from the turbid battlefield, piercing the ground and carving a five-hundred-kilometer-long trench that extended into outer space and obliterated those celestial bodies it touched.

“Be careful!” Angry shouts echoed within the chaotic battlefield.

At the entry to the emperor’s study in Xuanyuan City, Ji Dihong’s trusted officials wore expressions of deep concern.

Although Ji Dihong drove the power of his nation, the other side had five consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators.

Borderless Heavenly Capital:

“Husband, will Little Han be in danger?” Chen Xianer asked worriedly.

Gu Hai appeared slightly worried too.

Bang!

A sword light sent a figure flying out of the chaotic battlefield.

“Shangguan Hen?” Vairocana’s face sank.

The strike left a shallow mark on Shangguan Hen’s chest. If not for his cultivation of the Eight Nines Profound Technique, which granted him an indestructible body and made him invulnerable, the attack would surely have cleaved him in two.

Buzz!

The sword light vanished, clearly turning to deal with the others. Shangguan Hen flew into outer space and crashed into and shattered three stars before stopping. His clothes were tattered, but he sustained only a faint wound on his chest.

“What a formidable sword light! Shangguan Hen’s body is comparable to a divine weapon, yet it could mark him despite his defense,” Vairocana exclaimed in shock.

Although in pain, Shangguan Hen gritted his teeth and reentered the chaotic battlefield, rejoining the assault on Ji Dihong.

“Shangguan Hen’s defense is more formidable than you can imagine. He did not cultivate it with the body of a monkey, like Sun Wukong, but as a black tortoise, the embodiment of impregnable defense. Adding the Eight Nines Profound Technique renders him virtually invincible in terms of defense. Even so…” Gu Hai’s voice conveyed his astonishment.

Boom!

The light of the Xuanyuan Sword flashed again as it knocked Xingtian away.

A sword strike had landed on Xingtian’s large shield. Then he flew for five hundred thousand kilometers before the sword light vanished, and he stopped. However, his shield broke in half.

“Xingtian’s shield had never broken before. To think Ji Dihong chopped it in half!” Chen Xianer said in shock.

Xingtian tossed the shield aside and charged back into the chaotic battlefield.

Bang!

A purple divine arrow got deflected and knocked out.

“Even Hou Yi’s arrows are ineffective?” Gu Hai’s face darkened.

Then the sword light swung down again and exploded a golden swastika.

“Ji Dihong broke the Buddhist Nation in Hand?” Vairocana exclaimed in surprise.

None of the four consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators with Chiyou could match Ji Dihong. Ji Dihong was mercilessly attacking his formidable opponents in the chaotic battlefield, sending them flying.

“Hah!” Chiyou roared.

The image of a giant bull-headed human appeared over the chaotic battlefield.

“Ji Dihong, eat our fist!” Chiyou’s furious bellow rang out.

Boom!

A tremendous shock wave accompanied a deafening report, shattering the previous battlefield. Countless rocks and soil exploded and vanished. The five combatants on the battlefield appeared before everyone once more.

Ji Dihong’s sword struck Chiyou’s fist.

At this moment, Chiyou had transformed, sprouting two ferocious bull horns from his head and growing to a towering ten meters. His body expanded with muscles bulging, and a black demonic aura engulfed half the sky.

On the other side, Ji Dihong’s Xuanyuan Sword emitted golden light while white noble spirit flooded the surroundings. The white and black sides contended but only reached a stalemate.

A stalemate?

No, Ji Dihong’s side was stronger. Chiyou’s fist seemed like it could not defeat the Xuanyuan Sword.

“Nine Li Imperial Emperor, I’ll assist you!” Gu Han shouted, placing both hands on Chiyou’s back.

Buzz!

A surge of energy flowed into Chiyou’s body, instantly augmenting his strength.

“It’s not enough! Prime Shangguan, hurry!” Gu Han called out.

“Alright!” Shangguan Hen promptly stepped forward.

Thud!

Shangguan Hen’s palm pressed against Chiyou’s back, channeling surging energy into Chiyou’s body.

At this moment, Chiyou had a bull’s head and was ten meters tall, so his back was extremely broad.

Xingtian and Hou Yi also placed their palms on Chiyou’s back.

The combined energy of five consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators converged at Chiyou’s fist as it pressed against Ji Dihong’s Xuanyuan sword. This allowed his fist to barely maintain the stalemate.

Ji Dihong’s strength surpassed everyone’s expectations.

It took five consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators to barely maintain a stalemate with Ji Dihong.

“The power of a nation? Ji Dihong, had you not driven the power of your nation, you would not be a match for us!” Chiyou snarled, hate lacing his words.

“Is that so? Hah! The power of our nation is part of our strength. While we drove the power of our nation, don’t you have four consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators helping you? It’s the same thing. The winner is king, and the loser is evil. We just have to kill you,” Ji Dihong said coldly.

“You are not sufficient to kill us!” Chiyou sneered.

“Did you think we are already at our peak? No, we can gain more strength by further driving the power of our nation,” Ji Dihong sneered.

Rumble…!

Ji Dihong put in more force, pressing the Xuanyuan Sword against Chiyou’s fist and pushing the five back. They moved five hundred thousand kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Chiyou’s face contorted with both fierceness and helplessness. At this moment, Ji Dihong’s power undeniably surpassed his own.

“Break!” Ji Dihong shouted.

Boom!

The Xuanyuan Sword unleashed a torrent of golden light, accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion. The two sides separated violently as a vast area of space shattered.

A ceasefire settled upon the battlefield.

“Ready for another round?” Ji Dihong bellowed with laughter.

The expressions of Chiyou’s group were ugly. They had intended to destroy Xuanyuan City and annihilate Ji Dihong, yet his strength far exceeded their expectations. Furthermore, Ji Dihong still held many undisclosed trump cards.

“Ji Dihong, I will return. I will reclaim what is rightfully mine. Let’s go!” Chiyou let out a ferocious howl.

Shangguan Hen, Gu Han, Xingtian, and Hou Yi exchanged meaningful glances with Ji Dihong before following Chiyou, soaring into the distance.

Ji Dihong made no attempt to give chase but coldly observed their departure instead.
