Just as Da Yi was about to perish, a scroll suddenly flew in from afar and, at the critical moment, captured Da Yi's soul into the scroll.
Upon seeing this, Di Jun was instantly enraged and coldly shouted, "Hou Tu! You dare to oppose me?!"
Before he finished speaking, Houtu Niangniang and Xuanming Niangniang flew over from the horizon on auspicious clouds.
Houtu Niangniang reached out and beckoned, and the scroll immediately fell into her hands.
This book is none other than the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Book of Life and Death.
The Goddess Houtu had long foreseen that Yi would face this calamity and perish in it, but she did not prevent him from fulfilling his destiny.
This was not because she was heartless, but because she could not stop Da Yi from being destined for greatness.
Once Da Yi kills the demon prince, the entire demon race will inevitably fight Da Yi to the death, and sooner or later they will all be doomed.
Therefore, one's life could only be exchanged for the lives of several little golden crows.
However, death is death, and one may be able to cultivate back in the next life, but once the soul and spirit are destroyed, everything is over.
Houtu naturally could not stand by and watch her general's soul vanish, and even the last trace of him be completely erased from the world.
Therefore, she finally managed to emerge from seclusion in time and save Da Yi's soul.
As for Di Jun's threat, she didn't take it to heart.
After Emperor Jun invited Goddess Nuwa to join the demon race and become one of the Three Sovereigns, Goddess Houtu already regarded Emperor Jun as an enemy.
"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, now that you have killed Da Yi, it can be considered as atoning for the lives of several young princes. But to also annihilate his soul would be going too far," said Hou Tu Niangniang calmly.
"Bah! That beast killed several of my sons. To only make him pay with his life is too lenient. Today, I will grind him to dust and annihilate his soul..."
At this point, Di Jun once again demanded sharply, "I'll ask you one more time, will you hand over his soul or not?"
"Heh... What crime has Da Yi committed that you insist on destroying his soul? Don't you know what your little beasts have done?"
The Goddess Xuanming said coldly, "If you're not blind, then go and see for yourself what those little beasts have done to the masses!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun frowned. He knew that his sons had caused a great disaster, but in reality, anyone with eyes could see that they had been tricked by others, so how could they be blamed for everything?
Furthermore, he was currently grieving the loss of his son and wished he could destroy the entire prehistoric world to be buried with his sons. He had no mind to discuss right and wrong with others.
Unable to suppress his murderous intent any longer, he said coldly, "Fine! I thought that since you two are women, I would not bother with you as long as you hand over that person's soul."
"But now you two are being shameless, insisting on going against me. Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
As he spoke, Di Jun drew his sword and charged forward, attacking Hou Tu.
In the distance, Chang Xi was also secretly annoyed by the two empresses' meddling, so she pushed Lu Jiu aside and instructed, "You go back to the Sun Palace first, I'll go and lend your father a hand."
Having said that, she flashed her hand and a sword appeared, which she then charged straight at Lady Xuanming.
Lu Jiu listened to his mother's instructions and dared not disobey. After saying "Mother, be careful," he immediately headed straight for the Sun Palace.
Next, the four of them began to fight each other in pairs high in the sky.
Harboring resentment, Emperor Jun and his wife showed no mercy in their attacks, each move ruthless and vicious.
Houtu and Xuanming were not to be outdone, and they used all their supernatural powers and magical treasures to fight the couple to a standstill.
All four were among the most powerful and divine beings in the primordial world.
The couple were a deity born from the sun star, possessing boundless supernatural powers and abilities.
The other is a celestial flower created by the Taiyin Star, a Taiyin Fairy born with exceptional beauty and talent.
Houtu Niangniang and Xuanming Niangniang are also extraordinary. One is a disciple of the Earth Emperor and the master of the Nine Netherworld. In the past, she also helped the Human Emperor Jiutou Shi create the human race. Her cultivation and Taoist practice are unfathomable.
The Goddess Xuanming was one of the most powerful innate deities in the primordial world, capable of absorbing hundreds of eons of primordial spiritual energy, possessing incomparably powerful magical abilities...
The four fought a fierce battle, battling from the sky to the ground and then from the ground into the underworld. The aftershocks of their fight swept across the land, destroying countless mountains and rivers.
When Di Jun clashed with Hu Le in the Zhou Tian Star Formation, he suffered some hidden injuries and also consumed too much of his magical power and divine sense.
Therefore, he was not in good condition to begin with, and after a short while fighting with Houtu Niangniang, he finally lost and fled in defeat.
Left with no other choice, Chang Xi could only follow Di Jun in death, filled with resentment...
The couple returned to the Sun Palace, and Lu Jiu hurriedly came to pay his respects.
After composing himself, Di Jun asked Lu Jiu about the specifics of what had happened.
Mainly, he wanted to know who the real mastermind was.
However, when Lu Jiu tried to recall, he found that all his memories of Tanggu had disappeared, and he stammered for a long time without being able to explain them.
Upon seeing this, Di Jun understood immediately. He knew that the person must have foreseen this day and had tampered with Lu Jiu's spiritual platform deep within his dantian...
For no apparent reason, an overwhelming sadness welled up in the hearts of the couple.
What kind of demon emperors and empresses are they? In the end, they can't even catch the mastermind behind the murder of their own son, and can only let him go unpunished. It's utterly pathetic...
...
There is no empty Fangshan.
At this time, Gonggong was leading a group of his former followers in a magical duel with his fellow disciples, including Guankong, outside the mountain.
Guan Kong and his companions, armed with powerful weapons, surrounded Gonggong and attacked him relentlessly.
As for the other elders of the Yanhuang tribe, they were fighting against Gonggong's former subordinates.
Gonggong, one of the founders of the human race, was a master who had cultivated for hundreds of eons. Although he had been suppressed for so many years, his strength remained.
Even though Guan Kong and the others possessed several innate spiritual treasures and had a significant numerical advantage, they were still unable to defeat Gonggong.
Just as everyone was engaged in fierce battle, the sky above them suddenly brightened, and a bell rang out, its sound echoing through the clouds.
A moment later, the Chaos Bell above Hu Le's head slowly emerged from the depths of the heavenly light.
"teacher!"
Upon seeing this, Guan Kong and the others couldn't help but exclaim in delight.
The people on Gonggong's side, however, changed their expressions drastically.
Gonggong, in particular, glared fiercely at Hu Le's arrival and roared, "You little bastard! You finally dare to show yourself! Give me your life!"
The hatred between the two doesn't need much talk; taking action is the best way to settle the matter.
"Hehe... Gonggong! You! Sigh! It would have been better if you had just stayed in the eye of the sea. After all, even if you didn't have freedom, you could still live, right?"
But you, of all people, insisted on stirring up trouble and ruining the great affairs of my human race. Now, even if I, the Human Emperor, wanted to show mercy, it's impossible."
Seeing Gonggong leap into the sky thousands of miles high, wielding a white jade hook as he charged forward, Hu Le sighed regretfully and raised his bamboo staff to deflect the jade hook.
At the same time, Hu Le had a thought, and the Chaos Bell above his head suddenly flew out, wrapped in a ball of chaotic energy, and crashed into Gonggong.
