Houtu Niangniang flashed to Hu Le's side, and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil transformed into a yellow cloud that swirled around her, protecting her completely.
At the same time, a flash of sword light pierced straight towards Hu Le's heart.
Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were deeply moved when they saw that Hou Tu Niangniang was willing to risk her life to give them a chance to escape.
They felt their relationship with Houtu Niangniang (the Goddess of the Earth) wasn't that deep yet.
Perhaps because of Xuanming Niangniang, Houtu Niangniang had long since disregarded life and death?
But who cares? In order not to disappoint the Goddess Houtu, the two of them immediately transformed into a beam of light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Houtu Niangniang remained as ferocious as a tiger, unleashing more than ten sword strikes at Hu Le in one go.
Hu Le used his bamboo cane to brush them aside one by one.
After parrying more than ten rounds, Hu Le pushed with his left hand and suddenly unleashed a Heavenly Thunder, forcibly breaking through the protection of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.
With a flick of the bamboo cane, it struck Houtu Niangniang's shoulder.
Houtu Niangniang immediately stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
This time, she was determined to fight Hu Le to the death.
After she regained her balance, she saw Hu Le swing his bamboo cane at her again. She bravely took the blow with her shoulder and fell right in front of Hu Le.
"boom!"
She suddenly exploded, and a burst of destructive energy surged toward Hu Le from her center, instantly turning the world into nothingness.
Because the two sides were very close, Hu Le was almost at the center of the destructive force.
Auspicious clouds of merit swirled slightly above his head, and the descending primordial energy spread in all directions.
As the primordial energy swept through, the destructive energy collapsed in large clumps and vanished into nothingness...
Once the destructive energy had completely dissipated, the world returned to its former clarity. Gonggong and Zhurong had long since vanished into the sky, leaving no trace.
Hu Le put away the two magical treasures left behind by Houtu Niangniang after her death. Instead of chasing after the two people immediately, he went to Xuanhuang Camp, summoned Chisongzi, and ordered him to lead the army to attack Renwang City and launch a final attack on the allied forces.
As the great calamity reached this point, the calamity aura that had lingered between heaven and earth gradually dissipated, and spiritual energy began to become active again.
The human destiny river of the Xuanhuang tribe has grown increasingly robust, gradually swallowing up the great fortune of the allied tribes and transforming it into a mighty torrent, as powerful as the river of fate, that continues to surge forward.
The long river branched into countless tributaries, which began to spread across the primordial land, gradually filling and occupying the entire wilderness.
From then on, the Yanhuang tribe became the mainstream of the human race and will be the foundation for the future reproduction of the human race...
However, Hu Le still needs to clean up this mess.
He calculated for a moment, then took a step and appeared in the depths of the Netherworld.
In the distance, high in the sky, hangs a celestial mountain, with a Taoist palace standing atop its summit, surrounded by boundless rosy clouds and auspicious energy.
Inside the palace, Zhu Jiuyin sat in the hall with a gloomy expression, unable to calm his mind.
It's as if something bad is about to happen.
The instant Hu Le suddenly appeared outside the Dao Palace, a look of surprise crossed his face, and he jumped off the cloud bed.
"Outrageous! This is simply outrageous!"
He thought that by withdrawing in time this time, his misfortune was over.
But to his surprise, Hu Le had no intention of letting him go and eventually came after him.
He was filled with shock, hatred, and utter panic.
However, hiding inside the palace is not a solution; what must be faced must be faced.
So he calmed himself down, went to the back hall to retrieve the magical treasure, and hurriedly left the main hall. He had just stepped down the jade steps in front of the door when Hu Le was already leisurely walking over from the opposite side of the central courtyard, carrying a bamboo cane.
"Xuanxiang! I have already withdrawn from this calamity and am preparing to seal myself off from the mountain and never come out again, why do you still want to kill me!"
he snapped.
Hu Le walked closer and laughed, "Fellow Daoist is rather naive. This tribulation is the result of entangled cause and effect, and the evolution of the world. Fellow Daoist's cause and effect have not yet been resolved, how can you easily escape this tribulation?"
"Hmph! So, you've come here to settle our karmic debts?" Zhu Jiuyin's mood worsened.
"Not bad, you've finally shown some intelligence for once," Hu Le said calmly.
Although his tone was flat and even, the sarcasm in it was so strong it was almost overflowing.
At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin was not concerned with these matters, and asked, "How do you intend to settle our karmic debts?"
The cause and effect they claimed began after Zhu Jiuyin and his group betrayed Jin Detian, which sparked a massive human rebellion.
Their entanglement continued unabated until today, their karma having become a tangled mess that he had no idea how to resolve.
Hu Le smiled indifferently, "What else can we do? It's just a matter of killing them."
"If that's the case, then take my sword."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin had nothing to say. He brandished a sword and lunged at Hu Le.
Hu Le blocked the sword with his bamboo cane.
The clash of staff and sword produced a loud explosion, and the shockwaves shot out in all directions, instantly turning the surrounding mountains, rocks, trees, pavilions, and palaces into dust.
The standoff lasted for a moment.
Hu Le exerted a little force on his wrist, and Zhu Jiuyin couldn't withstand the force, so he was instantly thrown out.
Once he regained his balance, he pushed off with his feet and lunged at Hu Le again.
Swish swish swish!
Zhu Jiuyin unleashed three consecutive sword strikes, each aimed precisely at Hu Le's vital points.
Hu Le raised his bamboo staff and flicked it left and right, effortlessly deflecting the three swords aside.
Zhu Jiuyin suddenly sheathed his sword and retreated, then raised his hand and unleashed a divine lightning bolt that struck Hu Le.
Hu Le shook his bamboo staff, releasing a beam of innate five-colored divine light. He swept it through the air and collected the divine lightning, while simultaneously reaching out his left hand to grab at Zhu Jiuyin.
He unleashed the "Universe in the Palm" technique, instantly capturing Zhu Jiuyin in his palm.
Zhu Jiuyin fell into the world of supernatural powers and secretly cried out in his heart that something was wrong. He threw the long sword in his hand into the sky, merged his body into the sword, and slashed towards the sky as one with the sword.
The sword light erupted, tearing a huge hole in the sky, and the space itself was shattered by the sword energy.
Just as Zhu Jiuyin was about to take the opportunity to escape through the hole in the sky, the heavens and earth suddenly overturned, then exploded and shattered, turning the world into complete chaos.
Just as the chaotic currents were about to engulf Zhu Jiuyin, at the critical moment, the sword light formed by his body and sword as one managed to escape from this world.
After he jumped out, he looked around and found that he was standing high in the sky, with clouds and mist floating nearby, and a red moon hanging in the sky above his head, emitting a faint red light.
After searching, he found no trace of Hu Le. He was overjoyed, thinking that he had escaped with his life.
Unexpectedly, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out overhead.
He hurriedly looked up and saw a chaotic ball of lightning strike down, instantly engulfing him.
"ah……"
Zhu Jiuyin let out a miserable scream, and his body fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
Fortunately, he managed to regain his footing several miles off the ground. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that Hu Le had appeared not far in front of him, staring at him expressionlessly...
