Wang Chong had the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, the Art of God and Demon Obliteration, and also a part of the Origin Immortal Art. In addition, he had the peerlessly sharp Origin Immortal Sword. Even the practically unkillable Earth Devil would find it a difficult task to petrify him.
“Hurry and help him!”
A cry rang out, and then several figures rushed past Wang Chong and landed on the still-unsevered arm of the Earth Devil.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, and the Bone Devil Ancestor began to wildly attack the massive arm.
“Eternal Spring Oblivion!”
“Black Dragon Rot!”
“Universe Sundering Art!”
“Bone Devil Strike!”
Stellar Energy rumbled as various attacks barraged the Earth Devil’s arm.
This was one of the few times Song Yuanyi went on the offensive. Green bolts of energy howled through the air and plunged into the giant arm. These green bolts of Stellar Energy flowed all across the arm, but this Stellar Energy was not here to boost the Earth Devil’s vitality.
A full moon would begin to wane and utmost hardness would give in to softness. When vitality became extremely concentrated, it would convert into pure destructive power. Crick! Crack! With this one strike, the Earth Devil’s stone body began to crack, large chunks peeling off.
At this moment, Xie Guangting’s Universe Sundering Art struck, destructive waves of power emanating from the impact site and rumbling into the Earth Devil’s arms and insides. Crash! A part of the stone arm at least three meters thick and thirty to forty meters long instantly crumbled apart and tumbled into the abyss.
Two attacks had halved the Earth Devil’s connection to the rock wall, and it seemed like it would fall at any moment.
Roooar!
The Earth Devil roared, seemingly sensing the danger it was in. In a flash, its Stellar Energy seethed, and the remaining arm it had thrust into the wall began to absorb vast quantities of stone, quickly restoring the parts that had been broken off. The clacking and crunching of more and more stone gathering on the arm resounded through the region.
“Stop it, stop it now! It can’t be allowed to succeed!”
The Bone Devil Ancestor leapt down from the rocky walls onto the Earth Devil’s massive arm.
Boom!
The bone devil’s two large arms, formed from innumerable fragments, rose high into the air and then came slamming down. Stone fragments shot outward as the bone devil blasted two large pits into the arm of the Earth Devil, exploding its way through nearly half the arm.
Awooo!
A moment later, in a great dark cloud, countless wailing ghost generals and soldiers, completely unaffected by physical laws, flew through the air, landed on the Earth Devil’s arm, and began to gnaw away at it like ants.
These ghost soldiers and generals had no physical bodies, but their offensive power was still not to be underestimated. Bang! A ghost soldier bit down like a savage beast and immediately shaved off a palm-sized piece of stone, as did thousands of other ghosts. Their combined effort soon shaved a large chunk of stone off the Earth Devil’s arm.
Meanwhile, the Black Yin Ancestor’s black dragon had swum to the end of the Earth Devil’s arm, where it rained down attack after attack on the claw.
“Kill it! Can all of us working together not kill some ignorant beast?!” the Black Yin Ancestor furiously bellowed.
“Everyone, together!”
Invigorated by the calls of Wang Chong, Song Yuanyi, and the Black Yin Ancestor, the other martial artists jumped down from the rock walls and rained down attacks on various parts of the Earth Devil’s body.
With so many martial artists attacking, even the unkillable body of the Earth Devil was dealt a heavy blow. Countless stone fragments were being shaved off, causing its massive body to shrink.
“Watch out for its petrifying Stellar Energy!”
“Stand aside!”
The organization and leadership of the martial arts titans soon had the martial artists organized into teams that were able to avoid the Earth Devil’s attacks while making attacks of their own.
But a moment later, the rocks walls shuddered, and everyone heard a massive boom coming from down below.
Everyone looked down and then instantly paled.
“How could this be?!”
The sight down below left each of them stunned.
While all of them had been focusing their attacks on the Earth Devil’s arm, the Earth Devil had managed to move the rest of its body. Two thick legs had managed to land on the rock wall, where its Earth Element abilities began the process of fusing the legs together with the stone.
Even if they cut off the Earth Devil’s other arm, it would be meaningless.
“Ignore it and keep attacking!”
Just when everyone was about to panic, Wang Chong’s eyes flashed. He flew down from the Earth Devil’s shoulder and made his way toward the legs.
A dazzling explosion of Sword Qi illuminated the darkness as Wang Chong’s attack cut at the Earth Devil’s ankle and left a deep wound.
The panicking crowd rallied upon seeing Wang Chong’s reaction. Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting shared a glance of surprise with each other before quickly lunging back into the fray.
Whoosh!
Under the endless salvo of attacks, countless pieces of stone began to shower down from the Earth Devil’s ankle, which further invigorated the martial artists.
“Everyone, attack faster! This monster’s legs aren’t completely fused with the wall yet!”
This was definitely a pleasant surprise. Although the Earth Devil was powerful, its fusion with the rock wall was still extremely unstable, and their attacks were still effective.
Boomboomboom!
A few moments later, under a crazed barrage of attacks, crack! The Earth Devil’s ankles were finally broken, and it slid off the wall.
Awooooo!
Finally, with a heaven-shaking howl, the Earth Devil’s body toppled from the wall. Everyone watched as its crimson eyes, brimming with fear and panic, gradually vanished into the seemingly endless abyss.
Bang!
Once the monster was gone, everyone exploded in thunderous cheers.
“Success!”
A martial artist on the wall clenched his fists in happiness. This monster had killed so many people, but despite their extremely disadvantageous situation, they had managed to win.
Whew!
Meanwhile, Wang Chong landed on a bronze slab some three meters long and breathed a sigh of relief. It had taken almost all their strength to kill that monster, but they had managed to pull it off.
Rumble!
At this moment, another collision could be heard coming from several thousand meters above the group. Another rain of stones came whistling down, and the martial artists once more became nervous.
“Retreat! We’ll talk once we get out of here!”
The martial artists focused and began to climb down the abyss using the slabs protruding from the walls.
Some several thousand meters later, the group finally reached the bottom. There were piles of bones, sharp rocks, and fallen swords at the bottom, and also ghostly green flames illuminating the darkness.
Once they were at the bottom, the group began to look for a way out.
“How could this be? This is a dead end! There’s no exit!”
A martial artist dropped to his knees in despair. All their hopes had been placed on a hidden exit at the bottom of the abyss, but reality had given them a heavy blow.
“Impossible! This can’t be! I don’t believe it! Stand aside! I’ll look!”
An unaffiliated martial artist clenched his teeth, widened his eyes, and began to fly around the place, using the weak light of the green flames
to aid his search.
“There’s no exit! We’re trapped here!”
Song Yuanyi stood amidst the panicked crowd like a hammered-in nail, but this leader of the righteous path also had deeply furrowed brows. He didn’t need to go on a frenzied search. Merely by spreading out his Psychic Energy, he could see that there was no way out!
“Chief, this place is the home of your Origin Immortal lineage. Is there any exit here?”
Song Yuanyi turned to the Origin Immortal Chief standing behind Wang Chong. If they wanted to get out of this place alive, they needed someone who knew this place like the back of their hand, the Origin Immortal Chief.
Bzzz! The crowd fell silent, and the hundreds of martial artists, whether righteous or evil, turned to the Origin Immortal Chief.
“You’re asking the wrong person.”
The Origin Immortal Chief bitterly smiled.
“Although we Origin Immortal Villagers guard this place, we’ve only been active on the perimeter. The central region is the Immortal Lord’s residence, and no one dared to ever disturb him!”
The Origin Immortal Chief paused, looking up at the dazzling golden light in the air with deep reverence.

The Origin Immortal Lord was a true god in the hearts of all the Origin Immortal Villagers, an existence that all of them kowtowed to. Without the Origin Immortal Lord, there would have been no guardians.
She had never imagined that she would be able to see the living Origin Immortal Lord in her lifetime. No other guardian had ever received such treatment, and she could now die without regrets.
“This time, if not for the threats of those men in black, I wouldn’t have come here even if I had to die.”
“Don’t you have those objects that can control the mechanisms with you? Can you not use the mechanisms here to open a passage?” an elder of the Five Ancestor Alliance asked. The Black Yin Ancestor, Bone Devil Ancestor, and Myriad Ghost Ancestor had remained silent all this time, as Wang Chong’s presence made direct questioning rather awkward. But having their subordinates ask questions was no problem at all.
“It’s useless. These bronze slabs are the final mechanism within the treasury. When I summoned them, we Origin Immortal Villagers lost the last mechanism that we had any control over, and not even I can do anything at this point. Moreover, the Immortal Lord’s holy land was built in the middle of an ore vein. It’s impossible for there to be a passage to the outside,” the Origin Immortal Chief sternly said.
Everyone’s eyes dimmed. The Origin Immortal Chief had pronounced their death sentence, and all they could do now was sit here and wait to die.
“It’s pointless. If we don’t kill that True Lord Yellow Dragon, all of us can’t even think about getting out of here alive!” A calm voice resounded in everyone’s ears, and they all turned to the center, where Wang Chong stood as straight as a spear, his eyes raised up to the golden radiance above.
No one understood more than him how frightening True Lord Yellow Dragon was. This man was just as ancient and even more powerful than the Origin Immortal Lord. The events of this northwest adventure had far exceeded Wang Chong’s wildest imagination, and he sensed that he had discovered major secrets that he had never even realized existed in his last life.
The crowd fell silent and began to follow Wang Chong’s gaze upward.
“How could such a powerful martial artist exist in this world?!” some of the martial artists muttered to themselves. It was only now that they had time to pay attention to the architects behind this crisis.
“Is that man really the Origin Immortal Lord? How is it possible for someone to live more than one thousand years?” someone else muttered. Everything had happened far too quickly. Although they had already been through numerous life-or-death battles, many of them still had no idea what was going on.
There were those mysterious men in black, the Origin Immortal Chief, and then the man that Wang Chong called ‘True Lord Yellow Dragon’ and the Origin Immortal Lord who should have been long dead… Many of the martial artists felt like their brains weren’t large enough to keep track of everything.
Even Song Yuanyi and the Lone Silence Ancestor were looking up. Everyone was quiet, too shocked to speak.
Boom! Bang! Another explosion came from above, sending a downpour of rocks mixed with the energies of True Lord Yellow Dragon and the Origin Immortal Lord cascading downward. However, more than half of these rocks smashed into the walls above, with less than half continuing the descent.
This made them much easier to avoid.
Boom!
Another thunderous boom came from above, but with even greater explosive force, seemingly intent on tearing apart the world.
The golden ball of light tore into two, with one figure sent flying back to slam into a rock wall.
“Hahaha, Origin Immortal Lord, after a thousand years, it seems like your martial arts have significantly weakened! I’d like to see what you can use to fight me! Hand over the Doomsday Insignia or only death awaits you!”
True Lord Yellow Dragon gave a strange rumbling laugh that shook the surrounding rock walls and sent even more boulders tumbling down.
Buzz!
Everyone paled at this sight.
“Not good! That man is going to win!”
“That man sealed the passage. He wants to kill all of us here!”
“It’s over! What do we do now?!”
Wang Chong and the other martial arts titans said nothing, but all the other martial artists immediately panicked. Whether it was the Origin Immortal Lord or True Lord Yellow Dragon, they had met neither of them before, as True Lord Yellow Dragon had first appeared before them as a man shrouded in golden light. However, the relationship to Wang Chong meant that they were more inclined to accept the Origin Immortal Lord.
If not even he could stop True Lord Yellow Dragon, then all of them fighting together were no match.
“What do we do? What do we do?” the martial artists cried in consternation.
Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting said nothing, but the solemnity in their eyes clearly indicated what they felt.
“Bastard! We have so many people here, almost all the elites of the martial arts world! Are we really going to just sit around doing nothing?”
The Black Yin Ancestor gnashed his teeth and angrily cursed. As one of the great demons of the martial arts world, he wouldn’t even bow his head to Song Yuanyi. But in the face of these two divine existences, he could do nothing but wait for death, a feeling that made him go crazy.
“Kid, do you have any ideas?” the Bone Devil Ancestor suddenly asked, breaking his silence.
Everyone focused on Wang Chong, falling quiet as they eyed him with anticipation.
Although Wang Chong was the Demonic Emperor’s disciple and a noble of the Imperial Court, he was not actually a member of the martial arts world, so his words should have very little authority at a time like this. But by now, everyone had forgotten his status and come to treat him as the backbone of the group.
Not even Song Yuanyi and the Black Yin Ancestor could take his place.
In truth, Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting were also looking to Wang Chong for guidance.
All was quiet as everyone awaited Wang Chong’s reply.
Senior…
Wang Chong continued to look up, his heart heavy.
All their hopes were on the Origin Immortal Lord. His current level of strength, even the strength of everyone here added together, would find it hard to intervene in a battle of that level.
There were times when pure numbers could not solve a problem.
What should I do? What should I do?
Wang Chong silently stared at the divine golden light above as his mind rapidly turned.
True Lord Yellow Dragon’s techni
ques had transcended the realm of martial arts. Let alone defeating the man himself, even defeating his creation, the Earth Devil, had left them all in disarray and almost wiped them out.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Wang Chong had a flash of insight, and he began to rapidly make his way toward the edge of the pit.
His actions drew everyone’s attention.
“What’s wrong?”
The crowd exchanged glances of surprises. Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting exchanged a glance as well before following.
“Kid, what did you discover?”
The Black Yin Ancestor, Myriad Ghost Ancestor, and Bone Devil Ancestor also followed.
But Wang Chong ignored these questions and began to search the bottom of the pit. He soon spotted a large black object rising like a hill.
As the crowd followed Wang Chong’s gaze, they quickly recognized what it was.
“The Earth Devil?”
The black pile of rock was clearly the Earth Devil that they had all worked together to kill not too long ago.
The Earth Devil had been nearly one hundred meters tall. Its immense weight, the height of several thousand meters, and the pull from the bottom of the abyss had enabled the fall to kill even this monster.
“What is he planning?”
Everyone questioningly looked at Wang Chong’s back.
Wang Chong continued to ignore them. He jumped onto the Earth Devil’s body and soon found its head.
“This is it!”
Wang Chong jumped up to land next to the savage head, which was taller than an adult man.
“Kill!”
Suddenly, the Earth Devil opened its eyes, a savage roar coming from its mouth.
“Ah!”
Everyone was frightened by this sudden roar. It had not moved once while they had been searching the bottom of the pit, but to their surprise, it wasn’t actually dead.
There were no natural barriers here to protect them, so the Earth Devil could kill them all in short order.
“Damn it! Run!”
An unaffiliated martial artist paled and immediately rushed to a distant rock wall so that he could climb out. But before he could run very far, plush! The thrust of a sword caused the roar to come to a sudden stop.
