"The Star Lord Jidu, the brother and sister Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, and Nuwa's first-class spiritual treasure—the Lotus Lantern, plus a dog..." The Chaos Demon Scorpion's eyes flashed with disdain.
"You think you can stop me? Ha, wishful thinking!"
The arrogance of the Chaos Scorpion was not without reason. As one of the surviving Chaos Gods, it took more than one or two eras for him to achieve the status of a weak Primordial Chaos God.
Even if one gets stuck at this step and fails to comprehend the mysteries of primordial chaos, one cannot become a saint.
But the weak Hunyuan is an alternative saint, surpassing the ninth level of Quasi-Saint, how powerful is he?
Ketu Star Lord "Cao Ya" is indeed powerful, but he is still not qualified to be compared with him.
Erlang Shen Yang Jian is also a "Primordial Dao Seed". After all, time is limited and he has not yet completed the Quasi-Saint realm. He has studied the secret techniques opened up by the Chan Sect Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun, and is proficient in killing techniques. He has fierce combat power, but he still has not been able to jump out of the Quasi-Saint realm.
Yang Chan was only a nascent Quasi-Saint. If it weren't for the Lotus Lantern, she would have been killed by the Chaos Scorpion long ago!
As for the Celestial Hound, although he was at the peak of the Great Luo realm and not weak, he was indeed of little use in such a battlefield, and the Chaos Demon Scorpion did not care about him at all.
"Die!!" A fierce light flashed across the face of the Chaos Scorpion, its demonic energy surging and the chaotic mist roaring.
The ancient road, where divine sounds intertwined and resounded continuously, could collapse the earth and shatter the sky.
The existence of a weak Primordial Chaos has initially broken free from the constraints of time, but to a certain extent, it can disregard the laws of Heaven.
"Buzz." The light of the Lotus Lamp was dazzling. For some reason, Yang Chan felt that she hadn't exerted much effort, yet the lamp had become bright, its divine light illuminating the universe and neutralizing the surging demonic energy.
She could only sigh in admiration, "As expected of a Chaos Treasure, a treasure of Nuwa, it is truly powerful!"
Even now, Yang Chan still doesn't understand why she was able to gain the recognition of the Lotus Lantern as its master!
Of course, with such a formidable enemy at hand, there's no time to think about such things; the key is how to defeat the Chaos Scorpion.
"Furthermore, we must not let the aftershocks of the battle destroy the Huashan region." Yang Chan muttered to herself. As the Quasi-Saint Dao was infused into her, the Lotus Lantern became increasingly activated. While suppressing the giant and ferocious tail of the Demon Scorpion, it also radiated its power throughout the eight wastelands, protecting the area surrounding Huashan for hundreds of millions of miles.
People from all directions, cultivators from all walks of life, and even celestial immortals, mystical immortals, and golden immortals, are all grateful.
With the protection of the Lotus Lantern, Cao Ya and Yang Jian were free from worries and focused on engaging the Chaos Demon Scorpion!
With a "whoosh," Yang Jian opened his third eye on his forehead, locking onto the demonic scorpion, only to have it easily shattered without leaving him unharmed.
"Bang!" Yang Jian was not discouraged at all. He had succeeded in diverting some of the demon scorpion's magic power.
He charged forward, wielding a three-pointed double-edged spear. Even though he was a quasi-saint, he was still fearless in the face of a weak Hunyuan!
"Excellent! As expected of the most outstanding successor of the Chan Sect, even Guang Chengzi and Yun Zhongzi are inferior to you." Chaos Demon Scorpion praised, "Among the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, Erlang Shen has the highest probability of reaching the Hunyuan realm!"
"However, you are not qualified to fight me." Chaos Scorpion sneered again.
With a bang, the claws slammed out, almost crushing the three-pointed double-edged spear.
"Cough." Yang Jian's face turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. His ferocity as a weak Hunyuan was undeniable.
However, Yang Jian's eyes were very bright. The impact of facing a weak Hunyuan head-on was indescribable.
Most importantly, he was not alone; he had the extremely powerful helper, Lord Ketu!
Not to mention the Lotus Lantern manipulated by Yang Chan, the third sister—that's the real trump card!
The Chaos Scorpion had to use almost half of its magical power to deal with the Lotus Lantern.
Otherwise, even though Cao Ya and Yang Jian are powerful, they still couldn't defeat a weak Hunyuan even if they joined forces.
"Boom." Above Cao Ya's head, the Niwan Palace world pressed down, the weight of a starry sky, combined with the potential energy of the fall, and all sorts of profound enhancements, no matter how powerful the Chaos Demon Scorpion was, it could not ignore it.
He himself, in accordance with the profound meaning of the "Cosmic Alchemy Classic", transformed into the "Giant Source of Attraction", which was formed by the fusion of various forces and burst forth with unparalleled gravitational force, capable of tearing apart the quasi-saint's path!
Even the laws comprehended by a weak Primordial Chaos cultivator will be affected and distorted.
If the Chaos Scorpion were to go all out, it wouldn't be too difficult for it to kill Cao Ya. However, the existence of the Lotus Lantern made the Chaos Scorpion wary and dare not be careless.
Then Erlang Shen's three-pointed double-edged spear took away a portion of the demon scorpion's magic power.
In the end, there were not many left, and it would not be easy to resist Cao Ya's attack.
Cao Ya himself is at the fourth level of Quasi-Saint, which is considered mid-level of six stars. However, his overall combat strength is not only comparable to that of the ninth level of Quasi-Saint, but has even touched the threshold of the weak Mixed Origin realm! This is the ultimate level of the high-level six stars!
Under these circumstances, no matter how strong the Chaos Scorpion was, it dared not underestimate Cao Ya's attack.
For a time, the Chaos Scorpion tried to defend itself from all sides but failed to gain any advantage, seemingly caught in a tug-of-war.
"Actually, we were blocked by a few quasi-saints..." The Chaos Scorpion's face was very cold.
The mighty Chaos Demon God, a powerful being who was above Quasi-Saints even before the creation of the Primordial World, was the one who survived the great calamity of Pangu's creation of the world, despite the terrible disaster, he had a backup plan.
Now, having already consolidated his cultivation as a weak Hunyuan, he has even sided with Demon Ancestor Rahu, Donghuang Taiyi, Chaos Demon Rabbit, Chaos Demon Insect, and others, seeking to seize the power of the Heavenly Dao. With the entry of the saints, even if the weak Hunyuan cannot obtain it, directly observing and comprehending the laws and rules would still be of great benefit, increasing the probability of becoming a saint. He has wreaked havoc in the Earthly Immortal Realm, moving south from Beiju Luzhou and causing chaos in Nanzhanbuzhou!
As a result, several quasi-saints joined forces and intercepted him, thus preventing him from destroying the vast territory.
Previously, it was acceptable that the attack on Haojing was forced to retreat by the Chaos Mayfly.
That Chaos Mayfly is also one of the Chaos Demon Gods, with the same origins, but even more profound cultivation!
The Chaos Demon Rabbit and Chaos Demon Insect are roughly equivalent to the Chaos Mayfly.
They are all true Primordial Saints! This is the realm that the Chaos Demon Scorpion has always dreamed of!
It's not shameful to be defeated by a chaotic mayfly.
They were also the Demon Ancestor and other Primordial beings, either guarding against the Moral Celestial Venerable and Nuwa, or blocking the entrance to the Fire Cloud Cave.
Although the weak Hunyuan led the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty and the pacification of Haojing, he failed to completely preserve the group of human heroes from Nanzhanbuzhou, allowing them to migrate eastward.
At the critical moment, the appearance of the Chaos Mayfly greatly deterred several weak Hunyuan beings.
This inevitably raises the question: has the Chaos Mayfly sided with the human race?
However, those were not the issues that the Chaos Scorpion was considering at this moment.
The enemy of Hunyuan can be dealt with by the Demon Ancestor and the Eastern Emperor.
Only the weakest human hybrids could stand against the Chaos Scorpion... yet, even the Quasi-Saint defensive line couldn't be breached...
Chaos Scorpion seemed to see himself being mocked by his allies.
Even so, he could have an excuse, after all, the Lotus Lantern was a Chaos Treasure!
But this matter is always difficult to discuss, and even more difficult to hear!
Even the Chaos Demon God cares about his reputation.
"Now that things have come to this, I can't underestimate you. It's time to use my ultimate move."
"That was a devastating technique that even the great god Pangu once faced!"
The Chaos Scorpion's face was grim; his innate divine power was mastery of slaughter!
"Was he instantly killed by Pangu with a single axe strike?" Cao Ya raised an eyebrow.
Hongjun, Luohou, Yangmei, and other great gods are obstructing the path to creation, and the great god Pangu must deal with them seriously.
Chaos Rabbits and Chaos Insects should not be underestimated.
But the Chaos Scorpion and Chaos Spider below could be easily chopped down by Pangu with a single axe!
It should be noted that the Dao Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor are very powerful, standing at the pinnacle of all saints. The Three Pure Ones, the Two Elders, Nuwa, and Buddha Tathagata, among others, seem to be slightly inferior to them at present.
However, compared to the ancient god Pangu, both of these ancestral figures are slightly inferior.
It is said that the great god Pangu has almost transcended the Primordial Saint Realm!
Otherwise, how could such a vast and expansive universe be carved out from the boundless chaos?
"If it were you, you wouldn't even be able to withstand the aftershocks of the battle, and you wouldn't even be worth a single axe strike from the Great God Pangu!"
Chaos Scorpion sneered, "To make the Great God Pangu use the Heaven-Opening Axe is already a skill to be proud of!"
Under the weak primordial chaos, even the great god Pangu wouldn't need to use his heaven-opening axe; he could simply slap a bunch of them to death.
“That makes sense.” Cao Ya nodded. In his mind, the Great God Pangu must have been at least a high-level Seven Star, right? It wouldn’t be surprising if he were at the peak of the Seven Star.
Such a powerful figure is completely unmatched by ordinary Seven-Star Saints.
"..." Yang Jian, Yang Chan, and Jidu Xingjun, how come they're chatting with Chaos Demon Scorpion?
The enemy is about to use their trump card; shouldn't we be on high alert?
Well, Ketu Star Lord's attitude was indeed serious and he did his best.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Chaos Scorpion frowned. From the depths of the Lotus Lantern, an unparalleled power emanated, giving him the illusion that he was almost facing the Demon Ancestor Rahu.
"Empress Nuwa?!" The Chaos Demon Scorpion was greatly alarmed. The six giants who had become saints in Zixiao Palace—the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, the two elders of Buddhism, and Empress Nuwa—were all powerful!
If it were said that they had the potential to catch up with the Dao Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor, and others, even the Chaos Demon Scorpion wouldn't doubt it.
Moreover, there are many spiritual treasures, and quite a few of them are of the highest quality.
Ordinary sages, when facing them one-on-one, are always at a disadvantage and in danger.
Let alone weak mixed elements!
"Buzz." To Yang Chan's astonishment, the Lotus Lantern seemed to bloom, its creative energy permeating the eight directions and six realms.
"Hiss!" The Chaos Scorpion's scalp tingled. He didn't care about any special moves anymore and attacked the siblings, Jidu Star Lord and Qingyuan Miaodao True Lord. If he had been any later, he would have died here.
"Whoosh." Without hesitation, the Chaos Scorpion rapidly shrank its body, transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared into the void.
"Huh?" Cao Ya, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan were all taken aback. Why did they suddenly run away?
Only after feeling the power of the Lotus Lantern did they realize that Nuwa had intervened.
"Thank you, Nuwa." The three bowed towards the direction of Nuwa's Heaven.
Although there was no response, the Lotus Lantern gradually returned to normal, no longer blooming and losing its flame.
"Empress Nuwa, why don't you take this Chaos Treasure away?" Yang Chan blinked.
Why is the Lotus Lantern still in my hands? And why do I feel a sense of intimacy with it?
Cao Ya's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "Perhaps, since the Lotus Lantern has recognized you, Nuwa has not taken it back."
Yang Chan hesitated, unable to believe it, and said, "Impossible, this is a Chaos Spiritual Treasure..."
Could it be that the Primordial Saint doesn't value top-tier spiritual treasures?!
"Since Nuwa did not stop it, isn't that enough to show her attitude?" Cao Ya smiled slightly.
He wasn't surprised that the Lotus Lantern ended up in Yang Chan's hands.
In the future, it will also be used by Yang Chan's son... Well, for the time being, Yang Chan has not yet become the "Three Holy Mothers of Mount Hua" nor has she met Liu Yanchang, so the birth of Chenxiang is yet to be discussed.
Cao Ya has no intention of interfering in this complicated love affair; he will let it develop naturally.
As a quasi-saint, and having obtained a Chaos Treasure with the Lotus Lantern protecting her, no one could force Yang Chan to comply if she wished.
If she still married Liu Yanchang, it would undoubtedly prove that the two were indeed in love and had fallen in love.
There's no need to break them up!
"Third Sister, in taking charge of the Lotus Lantern, you must prioritize chivalry," Yang Jian reminded her.
This spiritual treasure, the accepted belief, has nothing to do with attack or conquest.
Yang Jian knew very well that neither he nor Jidu Xingjun, despite being superior to Yang Chan in every aspect of strength, had any hope of gaining the recognition of the Lotus Lantern.
At the same time, Yang Jian was also happy for his sister's great opportunity, and he broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm, thus relieving his heartache.
Although the Investiture of the Gods has ended, the Immortal Realm has never been peaceful. Demons and monsters roam freely, and various Primordial Chaos and Weak Primordial Chaos are plotting and scheming across the four seas.
Without reaching the Quasi-Saint level, one doesn't even qualify as a chess piece!
With the protection of the Lotus Lantern, Yang Chan has entered the eyes of Nuwa, and Yang Jian is very relieved about her future.
If the brother and sister were to really go head-to-head, Yang Jian really didn't have much confidence that he could defeat Yang Chan, who had used the Lotus Lantern!
First-class spiritual treasures are normally objects belonging to the saints.
Those with weak Hunyuan cultivation generally only possess second-class spiritual treasures.
Such supreme sacred objects, once they recognize a master, can unleash power that is astonishing!
Yang Jian was not jealous; he was only happy for Yang Chan.
"Second Brother, I understand." Yang Chan said solemnly. She would never let down Nuwa's high expectations, nor would she disgrace the Lotus Lantern!
"Woof." At this moment, the Celestial Dog flew down, looking somewhat disappointed.
Having followed Erlang for many years, they achieved numerous military exploits during the Investiture of the Gods, and their cooperation was seamless.
However, as Yang Jian grew stronger, the enemies became increasingly ferocious, and the Celestial Hound was no longer of much use.
"Howling Celestial Dog, why don't you come with me?" Yang Chan said with a smile, holding the Lotus Lantern in her palm. Its azure light covered her entire body, changing the color of her clothes and giving her a unique beauty, pure and otherworldly.
"Woof." The Celestial Dog shook its head. It didn't want to follow Yang Chan; it would definitely be teased!
Yang Jian smiled helplessly, but also with relief. If his relatives and friends could maintain a cheerful and optimistic attitude, he was willing to shoulder all the responsibilities!
Immediately, Yang Jian looked at Cao Ya, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Lord Ketu, it's been a long time."
"Erlang Shen." Cao Ya returned the greeting. Although they both served as officials in the Heavenly Court, they were not in the same region and were far apart, with almost no contact. However, they both had the same attitude of giving back to the human race.
“Yang Chan, you are now worshipped by the people of Huashan and are known as the ‘Third Holy Mother’.”
Suddenly, Cao Ya swept his divine sense across the area and realized that Yang Chan had activated the Lotus Lantern, protecting countless miles of people and ensuring their safety. He was extremely grateful and built a temple to Yang Chan to worship her.
Yang Chan blushed and quickly waved her hand. What level of cultivation did she have? How could she be worthy of the title "Holy Mother"?
However, Yang Chan also felt a special kind of emotion.
Without relying on her second brother, could she have made a name for herself on her own?
"Third Sister, from this day forward, Mount Hua will be your training ground," Yang Jian said with a smile, then his expression turned serious. "But you must not be careless. This place is located in the western part of the Southern Continent, and has been abandoned by the Zhou Dynasty. Although they sent the Qin Kingdom to subdue it..."
As he spoke, Yang Jian shook his head. The Qin state had just risen to power. Even though it had encountered many changes and had deep-seated hatreds, it was still difficult to suppress the rampant demons.
Who doesn't know that behind the demons and monsters, there exists a powerful figure above the weak Hunyuan realm?
"Indeed, the whole situation is not good," Cao Ya sighed.
