"Aww..."
"Hiss..."
The two supreme beings simultaneously flew upwards. Countless dazzling orbs of light suddenly lit up the void sky, and muffled thunderous booms resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Inside Huangzhou City, countless people watched the fierce battle in the sky. Although they didn't understand why the monsters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons were killing each other, for them, there was no better news than this.
Everyone was praying in their hearts that these two guys could die together, which would be a happy ending for everyone.
The clash between the two supreme beings was truly earth-shattering; the void tens of thousands of meters high became the perfect stage for them to unleash their power.
Xiao Wenbing was secretly astonished. Only now did he realize the true gap between himself and these two monsters.
A mortal immortal with a body that has endured ten tribulations—is this truly their limit?
If Zhang Yaqi hadn't possessed the Qiankun Ring, if he hadn't had tens of thousands of Yuan Ying and the Xuanwu Shield, and if it weren't for the Immortal Imprisonment Cave, he would have undoubtedly died without any chance of fighting these two supreme beings in the beast tide.
Looking up at the sky, a strong fighting spirit suddenly welled up in my heart.
Immortal, one day I will never be weaker than them...
Volume 19, Chapter 21: The End of the Beast Tide
------------------------
"Aww..."
A mournful howl filled with grief and indignation once again reached everyone's ears.
The two supreme beings, who were originally evenly matched, now showed a difference in strength. After obtaining some of the power of lightning, the Orochi Supreme was clearly superior.
Especially after several hours of fighting, Orochi Supreme became increasingly skilled in his techniques. This undoubtedly sealed the fate of the battle.
"Ah, it was worth it." Xiao Wenbing sighed and said, "Although it caused a delay, witnessing the two supreme beings fight to the death was worth it."
"Actually, as long as I, the little god, take action, it can be resolved quickly." The baby god said disdainfully. In its view, although such a supreme being was powerful, it still did not pose any threat to it.
With a slight smile, Xiao Wenbing said, "Master, your existence is one of our trump cards. It's best not to show yourself unless absolutely necessary." Gazing at the distant Huangzhou City, a hint of smugness appeared in his smile: "For now, it's enough for people to know that I am a divine envoy."
"Yes, I will follow your instructions, fellow immortal."
A fierce wind howled in the sky, causing abnormal changes in the surrounding air currents. Within a hundred miles, snow and ice would sometimes drift down, sometimes torrential rain would pour down, and sometimes the sun would blaze overhead. The battle between the two supreme beings had already affected the vast changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, demonstrating the profound depth of their cultivation. It was truly unbelievable.
However, by this point, most people could see that Orochi had already secured victory.
Although the giant serpent's lightning strikes could not kill the Multi-Handed Supreme, each strike consumed a portion of its immortal power. With this ebb and flow, the Multi-Handed Supreme was on the verge of defeat.
However, this guy displayed ferocity. Although his body was already riddled with holes from being struck by lightning, he still went all out, seemingly preferring mutual destruction to fleeing the scene.
Suddenly, the Great Serpent Supreme flashed and appeared atop the Multi-Armed Supreme's head. The ease with which he seized this advantageous position demonstrated that the Multi-Armed Supreme was utterly exhausted and powerless to resist.
While the two were locked in a fierce battle, the Great Serpent Supreme had already transformed into its original form. Only in this way could it unleash its full power without reservation.
A powerful breath imbued with divine energy struck Duo Shou hard. With a deafening roar, Duo Shou seemed to faint mid-air and crashed heavily downwards.
Overjoyed, the Great Serpent Supreme raised its head and let out a long hiss. Instantly, all the beasts bowed their heads, and the entire city was terrified.
However, the scream was only half-finished before it took a turn, seemingly shifting from extreme smugness to shock and anger.
Although the giant snake was pleased, a wisp of its divine sense remained focused on Duo Shou. Therefore, it immediately noticed that Duo Shou, who seemed to have fainted, suddenly changed direction as he fell to the ground, rushing straight towards Xiao Wenbing and the others who were watching the commotion on the ground.
This was no small matter; if the multi-pronged attack succeeded... the giant serpent would be utterly terrified.
It wasn't worried about Xiao Wenbing and the safety of the precious divine land, but it was extremely concerned about the newly recognized owner, Feng Baiyi.
The master who understands the power of heavenly thunder is truly unique. This will provide unparalleled assistance for her to safely pass through the final tribulation of refining the spirit. Therefore, if anything were to happen to her, the Great Serpent Supreme would truly be heartbroken.
On the ground, the precious god snorted angrily, about to punish him severely. But then Xiao Wenbing casually reached out and put his arm around him, smiling as he said, "Master, watch me."
The little one hesitated for a moment, but ultimately dared not disobey. After all, with me by their side, they could play however they wanted without getting hurt.
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Wenbing produced a delicate pagoda.
The pagoda shimmered with divine light, surrounded by a thin mist, making it appear even more solemn and majestic.
The precious god sensed a powerful divine force emanating from it. He couldn't help but be secretly amazed; it had only been a year since he ascended to the Immortal Realm, and he had already obtained such a wondrous treasure. Truly worthy of being the inheritor of the power of creation.
As the figure of the Multi-Handed Supreme Being gradually approached, Xiao Wenbing sneered. He raised the Forbidden God Tower high and shouted, "Idiot, forbid it..."
A mutant power surged into the tower, causing it to suddenly rise and expand a hundredfold in the air.
In an instant, the clouds and mist churned, the bells rang loudly, and the bottom of the Forbidden God Tower suddenly opened wide, letting out a beam of intense light, as if the entire space had frozen.
The Multi-Handed Supreme was greatly alarmed. It was a very knowledgeable creature. Upon seeing the pagoda's imposing presence, it immediately realized that it had no chance of gaining any advantage. It made a snap decision and tried to escape.
However, a tremendous suction force came, and even with its power, it could not resist it. With a scream, it was instantly sucked alive into the Forbidden God Tower.
After absorbing the Multi-Handed Supreme, the pagoda's light faded, and it descended from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground with a deafening roar.
Within the distant Qiankun Circle, the Two Broken Blades sensed something amiss and suddenly cried out in alarm. However, the distance was too great, and they were powerless to notify Xiao Wenbing.
As the pagoda landed, Xiao Wenbing burst into laughter. With this treasure in hand, he was essentially protected by a divine talisman, and no longer needed to fear any single immortal.
The Great Serpent Sovereign swiftly descended from the sky to their side, secretly wiping away a cold sweat. He realized this person possessed such a treasure; truly unfathomable.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao has displayed great power, capturing the Multi-Handed Supreme in one fell swoop. This battle will surely make you famous throughout Huangzhou," the Great Serpent Supreme flattered.
Xiao Wenbing accepted the giant snake's congratulations with a smile, taking it for granted. Seeing the surprise in Feng Baiyi and the precious god's eyes, he felt even more smug. Just as he was about to boast a few words, Little Butterfly Fairy pointed behind her and exclaimed in a series of voices, "Master, it moved!"
"It moved?" Xiao Wenbing was greatly surprised; something had moved.
Suddenly, a strong wind rushed past their ears. Turning their heads, they saw the massive Divine Forbidden Tower leap high into the air, transforming into a ball of blue light. It sped away into the distance, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
This sudden joy turned to sorrow. Xiao Wenbing stared at the streaks of light left in the sky, unable to comprehend what had happened.
"Xiao Xian, you are very skilled. I wonder where you intend to send these hands?" Although the Great Serpent Supreme had already seen the commotion at the Forbidden God Tower, he still assumed that it was Xiao Wenbing's private manipulation. So, looking up at the sky, he casually asked.
However, no one answered. Turning around, he was startled to see Xiao Wenbing with a livid face and a fierce look in his eyes.
"Why...why didn't you stop it?" Xiao Wenbing asked fiercely.
The Great Serpent Supreme was speechless, unable to utter a word.
"Wenbing, wasn't it you who manipulated it?" Feng Baiyi asked in surprise. The Treasure God beside him nodded repeatedly. They clearly saw that this treasure was taken out of Xiao Wenbing's mustard seed space. If he didn't manipulate it, no one would believe it.
"Of course not." Xiao Wenbing spread his hands and said, "Heaven knows what happened. I clearly caught the multi-armed monster, so how could it still move?"
Everyone looked at each other, unable to explain the reason, even the Baby God was puzzled.
"How about I go and get it back?" Baby God asked.
Xiao Wenbing hesitated for a moment, then suddenly saw a large hole open in the rainbow shield in the distance, from which several people flew out. He immediately shook his head and said, "This is not good. Let them escape. We can deal with it later. My precious god, you go back first, and whatever you do, don't let anyone know."
"Good." A wisp of smoke drifted by. The precious god had already returned safely to the mortal realm. Truly, he came without a trace and went without a shadow, much to the envy of the Great Serpent Supreme.
The people who came out of Huangzhou City were very fast. After a short while, they arrived in front of Xiao Wenbing and the others. They were Immortals such as Mu Hua, and Elder Yan was also accompanying them.
Xiao Wenbing suddenly reached out and put his hand on the shoulder of the Great Serpent Supreme, and said with a smile, "Great Serpent, I suddenly realized that you are quite handsome after you transform into human form."
The Great Serpent Supreme felt a chill run down his spine, but dared not shake off Xiao Wenbing's hand, so he could only force out an ugly smile.
"Alright. Let all these monsters, insects, and snakes leave."
"yes."
With a furious roar, the Great Serpent Supreme sent countless beasts and insects surging backward like a tidal wave, displaying an unstoppable momentum.
When Mu Hua and the others saw Xiao Wenbing standing with the Great Serpent Supreme, they were all filled with apprehension. However, judging from their interaction, they didn't seem like enemies at all, but rather like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. They couldn't help but marvel at this in secret.
Seeing the beasts retreat, it became clear that this beast tide was over.
Waving to Mu Hua and the others to come down, Xiao Wenbing said directly, "Senior, I personally went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons and have now ascertained the truth behind the beast tides of past generations."
Mu Hua was startled and quickly asked what was wrong.
Xiao Wenbing pointed at the giant snake and said, "In the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, there are two supreme beings. One is benevolent and the other is malevolent. Whenever the Multi-Handed Supreme Being gains the upper hand, it will launch a beast tide to invade Huangzhou City. But whenever the giant snake gains the upper hand, the two sides will live in peace."
Mu Hua said it, but he didn't believe it in his heart. In the past battles, Orochi had also led his troops to the city walls many times. If this was considered a benevolent being, then there would be no evil in the world.
"This time, a multi-pronged scheme successfully framed the Great Serpent, allowing the entire Ten Thousand Poison Valley to launch a full-scale siege of Huangzhou City. We juniors were fortunate enough to rescue it. Therefore, the Great Serpent has decided that it will never launch another beast tide in its lifetime, and the human and demon races will live in harmony, with the Ten Thousand Poison Valley as the boundary."
Mu Hua's eyes lit up, and when he turned his head and saw that the Great Serpent Supreme could only nod, he was overjoyed.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you saying there won't be any more beast tides in the future?"
"Indeed, as long as this giant serpent lives, Huangzhou City will be safe."
"Very well, if that is truly the case, then on behalf of the millions of people of Huangzhou City, I thank you, fellow immortal..."
Mu Hua bowed deeply, willingly performing this grand salute to a fused immortal for the first time.
Volume 20, Chapter 1: Unexpected News (Part 1)
------------------------
The sky resembles a large bird with its full wings outstretched, covered entirely in white, feather-like clouds. Between the clouds lie deep blue abysses, from which the golden sun rises. It glances at the earth and transforms everything, imbuing the entire land with vibrant life.
In Huangzhou City, a grand banquet was held. Everyone was celebrating, for from now on they would be spared the suffering of beast tides and would no longer have to worry about the endless ferocious beasts and poisonous insects.
Orochi, being a supreme being, was, after all, a powerful figure. Since he had personally agreed to something in public, he certainly wouldn't go back on his word.
Therefore, today's banquet at the Xuanji Sect's mainland also invited fifteen demon immortals, including the Great Serpent.
In the past few days, seven more human immortals returned one after another. After learning that the beast tide had ended and the giant serpent had promised not to invade the human race again, some of them laughed three times and left without lingering.
Such nonchalance made Xiao Wenbing secretly grumble for a long time. Such a cold-hearted person truly deserves the title of immortal.
Subsequently, Mu Hua, having seen through Xiao Wenbing's thoughts, awkwardly sent a message via flying sword, informing all the immortals who had not yet returned from the Battle of Huangzhou City of the outcome.
Immediately, over 90% of the immortals on earth declared they would not return. Sure enough, in the following days, only two still remembered their hometown and came back to visit.
At this moment, they, representing the human race, sat in the chairman's seat, repeatedly urging the Great Serpent Supreme to drink.
