Hu Le and his two companions strolled leisurely along the way. Every time the Chaos Bell rang, a demon or even an elder or priest of the allied forces would fall or be taken away and suppressed.
Soon, the situation on the field changed drastically because of the three players' actions.
The Yanhuang side has gained an absolute advantage.
Seeing this, Zhu Rong and the others knew that if they continued fighting, they would not only fail to achieve final victory, but they might also lose their lives.
Before the three could get close, they had already forcibly shaken off their opponents and vanished in a flash of light.
Upon seeing this, Daoist Zhunti shook his head, "It seems that their fate is not yet over."
Hu Le nodded slightly: "It's alright. They are already trapped in a calamity from which they cannot escape. Even if they manage to escape this time, they will surely find it difficult to escape next time."
The Primordial Daoist nodded, "Indeed, this is the will of Heaven."
As the allied forces' experts fled in disarray, the Yanhuang army finally broke out of their camp and split into two groups, heading towards the demon race in the sky and the fortified city on the ground.
Before the army could rush towards Dique Pass, a clear light had already risen above the pass, indicating that a protective formation had been activated within the city.
At the same time, the demon camp in the sky also raised a great formation.
Yuanshi Daoist turned to Hu Le and said, "Fellow Daoist, this battle can only be concluded if you personally take action to finish it off."
Hu Le nodded, stepped forward, rubbed his hands together, and a bolt of divine lightning exploded in the sky.
Amidst the thunderous roar, the protective array that had just been erected in the demon camp was destroyed after only a fleeting moment under the bombardment of divine lightning.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Yanhuang army drove their flying boats into the camp.
Before the lightning in the sky could dissipate...
Hu Le then unleashed another Heavenly Thunder towards Dique Pass.
As chaotic lightning exploded on the Dique Pass, the clear light that enveloped the pass instantly turned to ashes, and the city walls on all four sides collapsed at the same time.
"Kill them!"
The morale of the Yanhuang army soared, and they charged into the city with loud shouts.
At this time, the city was filled with a combined army of demons, Asura warriors, and humans, numbering in the millions.
The Yanhuang army had just split into two groups, and the force attacking Dique Pass at this time was only a mere million strong, putting them at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers.
However, the morale of the two sides was vastly different.
Despite the large number of troops inside Dique Pass, the army was now leaderless, and some experts had already fled.
They had just been nearly scared out of their wits by Hu Le's Heavenly Thunder, and their morale was completely shattered.
Therefore, no matter how many of them there are, they have now become nothing more than lambs to the slaughter, with no power to fight back.
When the Yanhuang army stormed into the city, the two sides met face to face, and the army inside Dique Pass collapsed.
The same was true for the demon army in the sky.
The demon saints either perished or fled, and the demon emperor Jun has not shown his face for a long time, while the Yanhuang army has experts stationed there.
In just a short while, the Yanhuang army swept through several camps, utterly defeating the demon army and routing them...
Yuanshi Daoren looked around at the heavens and the earth and knew that the victory of the Yanhuang army was already assured.
He turned to Hu Le and said, "Fellow Daoist, now that the outcome of this battle is decided, I should return to Kunlun Mountain."
Hu Le did not forcefully try to keep him, but simply bowed to Yuanshi Daoist and said, "Thank you very much, fellow Daoist, this time."
Yuanshi Daoren waved his hand.
He ordered the White Crane Boy to bring over the Qilin (a mythical creature), then mounted his mount and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.
"The mortal world is not a place for us to linger. This humble Taoist should also return." Taoist Zhunti raised his hand and summoned an auspicious cloud, bidding farewell to Hu Le.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, fellow Daoist..."
Hu Le also bowed to the Daoist Zhunti, exchanged a few polite words, and then watched the Daoist Zhunti ride away on the clouds...
The battle lasted day and night, and in the end, the Yanhuang army won a victory.
The victory was also perfect; not to mention the enemies who were killed, there were millions of prisoners who surrendered.
After inspecting the battlefield, Chisongzi, as the commander, personally went to the camp to report to Hu Le.
Hu Le nodded after hearing this, picked up the scroll, shook it, and released the Xuanming Goddess.
"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to convert?" Hu Le asked casually.
"Bah!" Xuanming Niangniang sneered, "Convert? You? You're just a junior who only achieved your current Dao fruit by luck by stealing Pangu's bloodline. You actually want to subdue me? That's wishful thinking!"
Hu Le shook his head and sighed, "If that's the case, then you can't blame me."
As he spoke, he turned to Chishongzi and instructed him, "Chishongzi, take her down and see her off."
"Here you are."
Chisongzi agreed and ordered the guards to come in and take Xuanming Niangniang out.
Having already killed Dijiang, and now having slain Xuanming Niangniang, Chisongzi no longer felt as many emotions as before…
Not long after, a guard returned to the camp and met with Hu Le.
He was holding a tray in his hands, and on the tray was the head of the Goddess Xuanming.
After Hu Le examined it, he waved his hand and ordered someone to send the head to the Earth Goddess of Renwang Mountain for inspection.
As for how Houtu Niangniang would react upon seeing Xuanming's head, that was beyond Hu Le's concern...
The guard, carrying the tray, took his leave and went to pay his respects to Chisongzi, where he relayed Hu Le's instructions.
Chisongzi hurriedly summoned an elder and ordered him to take the head of Xuanming Niangniang to see Houtu Niangniang.
Upon hearing this, the elder accepted the tray with a bitter expression.
He was considered an elder of the human race and was well aware of the relationship between Houtu Niangniang and Xuanming Niangniang.
Now that Chishongzi is actually ordering him to do this kind of thing, it's practically sending him to his death!
If Empress Houtu were to become enraged and take her anger out on him, he would be in a terrible predicament.
But there was nothing he could do. As the saying goes, military orders are like mountains. Chisongzi had already given the order, and no matter how unwilling he was, he had to obey.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have needed to incur the wrath of the Earth Goddess; it's likely that the Red Pine Master would have ordered his execution first...
After receiving the order, the elder, with a sorrowful expression, carried the tray out of the camp, summoned an auspicious cloud, and was about to put away the tray to go to Mount Renwang to meet Houtu.
Two beams of clear light suddenly descended from the sky, and then transformed into a male and a female deity.
Upon seeing the visitors, the elder hurriedly bowed and greeted them, "Greetings to the Great God Fuxi and the Goddess Nuwa."
Fuxi nodded kindly, but when he saw the head of the Goddess Xuanming on the tray, his brows furrowed, and he said with some emotion, "It's a pity that you have absorbed countless millennia of spiritual energy, and now you've been reduced to nothing more than a painted cake..."
Nuwa, the goddess, did not feel much emotion upon seeing this.
She hadn't forgotten how the Goddess Xuanming had helped the Goddess Houtu oppose her and ruined her plans several times...
