Guang Chengzi and the others were also anxious. Seeing that others had almost finished dealing with the enemy, while they hadn't even dealt with Chi You, they were furious. They had lost all face. However, Chi You was indeed not easy to deal with. When he went berserk, he didn't even care about the Fantian Seal. He charged around recklessly, making the Twelve Golden Immortals feel extremely frustrated.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Chi You was also disheartened and wanted to escape. Especially after seeing the deaths of Yu Shi and Feng Bo, he panicked and immediately attacked Taiyi Zhenren with his sword, trying to create an escape route. Unfortunately for Taiyi Zhenren, he stood in that direction for no reason and was relentlessly attacked by the enraged Chi You. He wanted to retreat, but he couldn't afford to lose face. Aside from his status as a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, there was also his identity as the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei. He couldn't back down in front of the heavenly soldiers and generals who hadn't yet left. Fighting was out of the question; he was already lucky to escape being killed by the enraged Chi You.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a jade ruyi flew from the horizon and struck Chi You, knocking him unconscious. It was the Three Treasures Ruyi in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun. Seeing Taiyi Zhenren in trouble, he had no choice but to help. After knocking Chi You unconscious, he did not linger and flew back to the Outer Heaven.
The crowd rushed forward and captured Chi You. Because the Wu tribe possessed unparalleled physical and supernatural powers, they attempted to pierce Chi You's collarbone to cripple his abilities so they could imprison him. However, Chi You was a great shaman, with bones and muscles as hard as refined steel, leaving them helpless.
At this moment, another sword flew in from the direction of Penglai Island in the East Sea. One side of the blade was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other side was engraved with mountains, rivers, and plants. One side of the hilt was inscribed with the arts of agriculture and animal husbandry, while the other side was inscribed with strategies for unifying the four seas. A poem testifies to this:
The sword's light was a dim, bluish-yellow; the inscriptions were dark green.
Mountains, rivers, grasses, and trees shape one's nature; the sun, moon, and stars condense one's essence.
With strategy in mind and sword in hand, who will roar like a dragon?
I urge you to use your weapons sparingly, lest you bring shame upon your divine weapon.
It was Xuan Tian who realized that Xuanyuan needed a sword to slay Chiyou, the famous Xuanyuan Sword. If we're talking about the most famous thing in later generations, then the Chinese people of later generations might not know Lao Tzu's Taiji diagram, Nuwa's landscape map, or Pangu's axe that opened the heavens, but they would definitely know the Xuanyuan Sword. It is the sacred sword in the hearts of the Chinese people, the sword of emperors, and it has great significance.
If the Xuanyuan Sword given by Xuantian had any significance, it was the Demon Emperor Sword that Taiyi used when he died. The Heavenly Court spent a huge sum of money to forge it, and it had a great restraining effect on the physical body of the Wu Clan. When the heavens were mended, Xuantian left for a period of time, saying that he was going to return the Qiankun Cauldron. In fact, with his cultivation level, he didn't need much time. After returning the Qiankun Cauldron, he hurriedly went to the Heavenly Court. At that time, the other saints were focused on the supreme treasure, the Chaos Bell, and did not notice these events. Xuantian took advantage of the situation and took all of the Heavenly Court's collection before leisurely returning to the saints. He even pretended that the saints had lost face by fighting over the treasure, but in reality, he had benefited and was just being hypocritical.
As expected, Xuanyuan used the Xuanyuan Sword to pierce Chiyou's collarbone, threaded on his dragon tendons, bound him up, and sent him back to the army camp to be imprisoned.
After seeing Xuanyuan leave with Chiyou, Huixin had Zhen release Xingtian and the other two who were trapped. As soon as Xingtian and the others were freed from their formation, they were about to fight, but Huixin blocked them with the Qiankun Gourd. Huixin said, "Xingtian, the Jiuli have been defeated, and Chiyou has been captured. You don't need to fight anymore. My teacher asked me to tell you: the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, and the great trend of heaven cannot be changed. Fighting again is useless. Take the rest of your witch people back to the underworld and listen to the arrangements of the Ancestral Witch Houtu. You should all take care of yourselves."
Although Xing Tian and the others were trapped in the formation, they could clearly see the situation outside. The Jiuli army had been defeated, and only a few members of the Wu tribe remained. They knew that further fighting was futile. They wanted to rescue Chi You, but then they realized that Xuanyuan would definitely keep a close watch on Chi You, and the three of them alone probably couldn't rescue him. Xing Tian gave a bitter laugh and said, "Jiufeng, Xiangliu, you go first. Take the remaining tribesmen back to the Ancestral Witch Palace and protect it until I return." After saying this, he turned to Huixin and said, "I, the Wu tribe..." "Our clan should have won this battle, but we were thwarted by your Penglai Island, the Chan Sect, and Haotian, resulting in a crushing defeat for our Wu clan. The Sage Xuantian has shown great kindness to our Wu clan. Although we do not cultivate the primordial spirit and are ignorant of celestial destiny, we know that the will of Heaven is immutable and that the human race is destined to prosper. I do not blame your Penglai Island. However, this grudge must be avenged. I am no match for the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, so I have no choice but to seek revenge against Haotian." He paused, then bowed to Huixin, saying, "Please inform the Sage Xuantian, and for the sake of the Goddess Houtu, preserve a remnant of our Wu clan."
Huixin nodded and said, "There's no need for that. The teacher said that even if you didn't say it, he would still do it. After all, he has a great relationship with the Wu Clan."
Xing Tian bowed once more to Penglai Island in the East Sea, then bowed again towards Yinshan Mountain, before rising and flying towards the Thirty-Three Heavens.
When Xuan Tian of Penglai Island saw Xing Tian bowing to him, he already knew Xing Tian's thoughts. He sighed inwardly, "Xing Tian is a true man. Hao Tian has followed the Dao Ancestor for many years and has learned countless supernatural powers and spells. Even if you knew you were no match for him, you still forced your way in. Perhaps you also knew you were no match for Yuan Shi or Hao Tian, but your fierce courage and your desire to stand up for your people were irresistible! Unfortunately, you are destined to be the protagonist of a tragedy. The famous Xing Tian wielding his axe and shield is about to be staged. How pitiful! Whether for Hou Tu's sake or for your uprightness, I must save you." After thinking this, he closed his eyes again.
Meanwhile, Xing Tian, seeking revenge for Haotian's assistance to Xuanyuan in the war against the witches, flew towards the Heavenly Court, intending to kill Haotian and avenge his fallen kin. Xing Tian, wielding a rectangular shield in his left hand and a gleaming axe in his right, fought his way through countless gates of Heaven, reaching the palace of Haotian. Haotian, leading his ministers, was enjoying the graceful dances of the fairies in the palace when he suddenly saw Xing Tian charging towards him with his shield and axe. Enraged, he thought, "I became the Heavenly Emperor by the mandate of the Dao Ancestor. How dare you, Xing Tian, attack me so directly? If I let you leave unscathed, where will my face be?" With that thought, he drew his sword and engaged Xing Tian in battle. The two fought fiercely, sword and axe clashing, from inside the palace to outside, from the Heavenly Court to the mortal realm, until they reached the foot of Changyang Mountain. The Jade Emperor, with his profound cultivation, spotted an opening and swung his sword at Xing Tian's neck. With a "crack," Xing Tian's massive head, as large as a small mountain, rolled off his neck and landed at the foot of Changyang Mountain. The Wu tribe only cultivated physical techniques and lacked a primordial spirit; therefore, although the Jade Emperor had severed Xing Tian's head, he was not dead. Xing Tian hurriedly moved his axe to his left hand, which was holding his shield, and stretched out his right hand, groping and grabbing at the ground. He wanted to find his indomitable head, to reattach it to his neck, and fight the Jade Emperor again. He groped and groped, searching every valley and valley around him. Towering trees and protruding rocks broke and collapsed under his touch, but he still couldn't find the head. He kept groping in the distance, unaware that the head was just a short distance away at the foot of the mountain. Fearing that Xing Tian might actually touch the head and revert to his original form to oppose him, the Jade Emperor quickly raised his sword and cleaved Changyang Mountain in two. With a deafening roar, Changyang Mountain was split in two, and Xing Tian's enormous head rolled into the mountain. The two mountains then merged back together, burying Xing Tian's head deep within. A seal was then placed on Changyang Mountain, forever sealing Xing Tian's head beneath it.
