After fighting with Jiuying for a while, Tianyi Zhenjun realized that it would be difficult to defeat him with his whisk, since this demon saint had a strong physical body and seemed to be very good at close combat.
So he made a feint, jumped out of the circle, and suddenly a white gourd appeared in his hand.
This gourd is called the Starlight Gourd, and it is a rare treasure that he has refined over the years.
The gourd contained countless grains of stardust, which, after being transformed by the gourd's internal restrictions, now contained boundless destructive power...
Without saying a word, he lifted the lid of the gourd, and a burst of dazzling starlight shot out from it.
Its brilliance was so great that it directly overshadowed the golden light of the sun in the sky.
Jiuying, who had been staring intently at Tianyi Zhenjun, was suddenly dazzled by the starlight. His vision went black, and a sharp pain shot through him, causing tears to flow involuntarily.
At the same time, the starlight spread out instantly, like a galaxy enveloping Jiuying. Countless stardust particles collided with Jiuying and struck its body.
Jiuying's eyes had not yet recovered, but he still instinctively summoned a protective spiritual treasure, which was a misty, cloud-like object.
However, the moment the mist enveloped her, it instantly dissipated under the scouring of the boundless stardust.
The stardust, now unimpeded, struck Jiuying with a crackling sound.
Countless bursts of blood-red light erupted from Jiuying's body, and his flesh was instantly riddled with holes.
"ah……"
With a scream, Jiuying mustered its remaining strength and leaped, forcibly breaking free from the envelopment of stardust. Once high in the sky, it detached its primordial spirit and physical body, gathered its tattered flesh, and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, flying away into the distance...
In the blink of an eye, he had fled hundreds of thousands of miles away. Seeing that True Lord Tianyi had not pursued him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking around, he found a mountain peak not far away, landed his escape light, and then couldn't wait to check the injuries on his body.
After examination, thousands of sand-like holes appeared on his body, blood was gushing out, and countless stellar energies were surging within him, constantly damaging his meridians and acupoints.
"well……"
He sighed deeply and was about to cast a spell to expel the star power from his body when a soft laugh suddenly sounded not far behind him.
"Hehe... Fellow Daoist Jiuying, why do you sigh?"
Jiuying was startled and turned around to look, only to see Hu Le slowly walking towards them, carrying a bamboo staff shrouded in purple mist.
"Ah! It's the Dongxuan Emperor!"
Knowing that he was in no condition to escape from Hu Le, Jiu Ying could only bow to Hu Le with a bitter expression, not daring to make any rash moves.
Hu Le walked over and sat down on a relatively flat rock nearby, smiling as he asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiuying, would you be willing to convert?"
Jiuying tried asking, "What if I don't want to?"
Hu Le smiled faintly: "Of course, it's Huihui who went."
Upon hearing this, Jiuying laughed bitterly, "Hehe... Even if I convert to the Emperor, I'm afraid I'll end up turning to ashes in the future. Since that's the case, I might as well have a quick death now. Please, Emperor, make your move."
He knew he couldn't resist; all he could do was close his eyes and wait for death.
Hearing this, Hu Le stopped pressuring the matter and extended his left index finger. With just a light tap, he could shoot out a beam of innate Yin-Yang Chaos Divine Light to send the Nine-Headed Serpent to its demise.
"Fellow Daoist! Please show mercy!"
Just as Hu Le was about to make his move, a seven-colored auspicious cloud suddenly floated down from the sky, and someone on the cloud shouted loudly.
Hu Le looked up and saw that the person who had come was none other than Fu Xi.
Jiuying opened its eyes at this moment, and when it saw Fuxi arrive, a desire for survival lit up in its eyes.
Hu Le ultimately did not strike with his finger, quietly waiting for Fuxi to arrive.
Fuxi quickly descended on the opposite side, took two quick steps, and bowed to Hu Le.
Hu Le got up, stepped off the rock, and returned the greeting.
"So, fellow Daoist, you've come for this Nine-Headed Serpent?" Hu Le asked with a smile.
"Indeed, fellow Daoist, please spare him this time for my sake," Fuxi pleaded on behalf of Jiuying.
Hu Le remained silent, lost in thought.
For the sake of a mere Nine-Headed Serpent, he couldn't very well refuse Fuxi's request, so he nodded and said, "Very well, fellow Daoist, take him away. However, I don't want to see him again in this upcoming tribulation."
Fuxi smiled and said to Jiuying, "Jiuying, you have heard what the Dongxuan Emperor said. This calamity has nothing to do with you anymore. After you come back with me, you should cultivate in the mountains obediently. Without my order, you must not step into the mortal world again."
Otherwise, if you get involved in this calamity again, then your fate will be sealed, and even I won't be able to save you then."
Upon hearing this, Jiuying bowed to Fuxi and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for pleading for me. I will remember Your Majesty's teachings."
Then, he bowed to Hu Le and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty, for sparing my life."
"Well, you'd better take care of yourself."
Hu Le nodded, raised his hand to summon an auspicious cloud, bid farewell to Fuxi, and rode the cloud back to Mount Buyou Kongfang...
Hu Le's figure disappeared into the horizon.
Fuxi then spoke, "Alright! You shall come with me to Phoenix Perch Mountain to pay your respects to the Goddess Nuwa."
"Here you are."
Jiuying agreed, put away its broken body, and immediately flew with Fuxi on auspicious clouds towards Phoenix Perch Mountain.
On the way, Jiuying looked at Fuxi several times, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Fuxi asked, "Jiuying, do you still have any doubts?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not disobey your orders, but what should I do if His Majesty Emperor Jun orders me to go down the mountain?" Jiuying asked with a troubled expression.
"I will release you. With me and the Goddess Nuwa protecting you, you no longer need to concern yourself with his chaotic orders."
Fuxi's words dispelled the last trace of worry in Jiuying's heart...
...
Tianyi Zhenjun summoned the Starlight Gourd, releasing billions of grains of star sand. After defeating Jiuying, he turned his attention to Guzhu.
At this moment, Gu Zhu was locked in a fierce battle with Gui Che. The two figures swayed, and it was impossible to tell who was winning or losing for the time being.
Tianyi Zhenjun wanted to help Guzhu, so he immediately slapped the bottom of the gourd, causing the stardust to swirl towards Guiche.
With the example of Jiuying just now, Guiche naturally dared not be negligent. While fighting fiercely with Guzhu, he also summoned a Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Divine Thunder.
The divine thunder roared and exploded violently upon striking the stardust.
The primordial yang fire blazed fiercely, and lightning raged through the stardust.
With a thought, Tianyi Zhenjun caused billions of stardust to tremble, releasing beams of starlight that enveloped the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Divine Thunder. After several washes, the divine thunder was completely annihilated.
The stardust that formed the Milky Way continued to surge towards the ghost carriage.
Before Xing Sha could get close, Gui Che unleashed a few ruthless blows, forcing Gu Zhu back a step. Then, it leaped up and vanished thousands of miles away, escaping the onslaught of the Milky Way...
