After an unknown amount of time, finally, everyone was able to see the situation on the battlefield clearly.

The Wood Killing Array was now a scene of utter devastation.

Part of the formation left behind by Lin Zun has been destroyed.

Fortunately, the opponent was only a mark of an Insect Lord, and the Wood Killing Array still retained about 80% of its power.

It still works!

Unless a true supreme being descends, this killing formation is one of the Lin Clan's trump cards!

"What about a martial arts contest?"

"Where is my brother Chen Xuan?"

Everyone searched for Chen Xuan and Dou Wu's whereabouts within the killing formation.

"There it is!"

Soon, they saw Douwu standing on a treetop, covered in blood. The power from the final explosion of the Supreme Mark had caused him considerable damage.

However, he still stood tall and looked strong and powerful, making him someone not to be underestimated.

Especially the halberd in his hand, which is like a divine weapon that can kill gods and Buddhas alike!

This weapon is stained with the blood of many supreme beings; it is incredibly powerful!

They quickly located Chen Xuan.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was lying on the ground, his whole body covered in wounds, not a single piece of flesh was intact, and he was panting heavily.

Beside him lay a pile of weapons.

The Supreme Yin-Yang Sword has once again broken into three pieces.

The six cauldrons, forged from the metal of the Primordial Dao, had all lost their original shape. They had been damaged by the Insect Lord, with some parts dented, others shriveled, and still others protruding.

Fortunately, this was a primordial metal, which was hard enough. It was only deformed by the impact and did not explode completely.

In fact, several cauldrons had already exploded during the battle, but Chen Xuan forcibly condensed them back together.

There was no way around it; even if it was just a mark, this supreme-level power of the Great Dao, coupled with the fact that the Battle Martial Arts had already helped Chen Xuan resist most of the power damage, was still too much for him to handle.

The gap is simply too large.

"Kid, you're not dead, are you?"

Dou Wu sheathed his halberd and flew to Chen Xuan's side.

At this moment, people from the Lin Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Yan Clan all looked at Chen Xuan.

"It's alright, you won't die for now."

Chen Xuan grinned and collected all the weapons around him that looked like scrap metal, planning to spend time reforging them later.

Of course, the Supreme Yin-Yang Sword doesn't need that; it just needs to be reassembled.

"Fifth brother, you're really something! I really like you!"

The fourth sister of the demon race, a fox, kept throwing flirtatious glances at Chen Xuan.

Dugu Rou, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes, silently cursing the vixen in her heart.

"Brother Chen, you've got some nerve! You actually dared to raid that dark den in the Great Ruins and even attracted the Insect Lord."

"I reckon the Insect Lord has already sensed it in the God Realm and must be furious!"

"Shouldn't we discuss waking up all the old monsters in the underworld and those forbidden zones above the Nine Heavens? In case another supreme being from the God Realm makes a move, this time we must work together to prevent them from killing Brother Chen!"

"Yes, Brother Chen is the hope of our whole village now, we have to keep him alive!"

The demon race was incredibly enthusiastic towards Chen Xuan.

They were the ones who least wanted Chen Xuan to die.

After all, they were still hoping that Chen Xuan would give them a share of his supreme blood to prolong their lives after he became a supreme being.

Furthermore, given Chen Xuan's strength, once he becomes a Supreme Being, he would likely be comparable to a God-Emperor.

Chen Xuan is capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the Yin-Yang realm.

Therefore, the death of the Insect Lord's Mark is not the end.

The real battle is about to begin!

This is also why all four forbidden zones of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have arrived.

"Douwu, where is your daughter, Lingzun? Why hasn't she shown up yet?"

The eldest brother, the black bear demon, couldn't help but ask, "Actually, if the Spirit Lord is around, there's nothing for us to do!"

Everyone immediately turned to look at Douwu.

However, the Yan Clan members were somewhat surprised because Dou Wu hadn't taken Chen Xuan to extort money from them, so they were unaware of the Spirit Lord's matter.

"Don't worry, my daughter has her own matters to attend to right now. If more than two Supreme Beings in the God Realm are to intervene, my daughter will personally take action!"

Dou Wu said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What do you mean, Douwu? You mean that if only one Supreme Being from the God Realm makes a move, the Spirit Lord won't intervene?"

"You don't mean you want us to withstand the power of the Supreme Being head-on, do you?"

"Are you kidding me? That's a supreme being!"

They all looked like they'd seen a ghost.

"What's there to be afraid of? With so many people and so many supreme Dao artifacts here, why would we be afraid of a single supreme being?"

"Furthermore, when the Supreme Being crosses the Heavenly Abyss to make a move, his own power will be reduced by at least half. With only half his power, the Supreme Being cannot do anything to us!"

"Douwu said."

"You make it sound so easy for you. Your daughter used the blood of a supreme being to prolong your life, so of course you're not afraid. But we're different. Our life force is already declining, and we don't have many years left to live. Once we break the seal and recover our peak strength to fight a supreme being, even if we survive, we will die from the decline of our life force!"

Some people voiced their dissatisfaction.

Douwu said calmly, "Don't worry, I guarantee I won't let any of you die!"

"If we are forced to lift the restrictions, after the battle, I will have my daughter give you some Supreme Blood so that you old codgers can live a few more years."

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately brightened up.

Is this really true?

"Douwu, you're not kidding us, are you?"

Douwu glanced around at everyone, his expression serious, and said, "Do I look like I'm joking with you?"

Chen Xuan, who was originally lying on the ground, has now sat up.

Upon hearing Douwu's words, a thought stirred within him.

Should the Spirit Lord distribute some blood to everyone?

But isn't the Spirit Lord still asleep?

That old bastard Douwu is just making empty promises to everyone!

"Hmph, empty words are no proof. When it comes to fighting, you old bastard, you've tricked us more than once or twice!"

"We're not three-year-olds; we're not that easy to fool!"

"You think the Spirit Lord will give us some of his blood? We won't fall for that!"

"How about this, you give us a written agreement, that way we can trust you!"

"Yes, it has to be in black and white. We need to see your signature and seal before we believe what you say. If a supreme being from the God Realm really comes to kill us later, we'll only help if we have this written agreement!"

They started shouting loudly.

Clearly, Douwu's credibility has long been exhausted, and now everyone is wary of him.
