Chapter 918 A Three-Way Battle, A Corner of Flower Fruit

It's not that Hu Xiuwu is belittling Nuwa, but it's the truth: Nuwa could never be a match for the Jade Emperor.

If Nuwa could defeat the Jade Emperor, she wouldn't have been defeated by the Heavenly Emperor in the world of Chinese Paladin.

Hu Xiuwu could only deal with Laozi as soon as possible so that he could help Nuwa.

Only by defeating Laozi and the Jade Emperor can we truly say that we have won this war.

'But there's definitely a time lag.'

Hu Xiuwu glanced discreetly at the Flower Fruit Mountain Legion, now free from the protection of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

With the protection of the [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array], there were not many casualties on the Huaguo Mountain side.

'Now that the protective array is gone, facing these relentless puppets, many will likely die.'

'The moment of truth has truly arrived—a bloody battle.'

Blood is about to be drawn.

······
The gods of Heaven, their faces contorted in agony, yet disciplined and silent, took up their weapons and charged toward Flower Fruit Mountain without any protection.

The loss of that magical artifact in the Lingxiao Palace will not affect their rebirth.

Their immortality comes from the Jade Emperor's Dao Fruit; as long as the Jade Emperor exists, they will not die.

However, both the Demon Alliance and the Peach Blossom Paradise Demon Clan and the God Alliance will die.

Although demons can retain their demonic essence and be reborn in the demon realm, it is an extremely long process, taking at least a thousand years.

The longer this battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

Sun Wukong picked up his golden cudgel and used it to break the limbs of Lei Siming, the Thunder God of the Thunder Palace, but without harming his life, only blowing out a few hairs.

Several hairs intertwined and wove into a gourd. With a quick spin, it transformed into a magnificent golden gourd, adorned with flame patterns. The gourd then swallowed Lei Siming of the Thunder Palace and sealed him away.

After being sealed, the golden gourd trembled violently, as if it were filled with boiling water, and would occasionally dart up and down on its own.

With a powerful kick, Sun Wukong sent the gourd flying tens of thousands of miles away, straight into the Heavenly Gate, and away from the Thirty-Three Heavens.

To deal with an immortal opponent, you must use sealing.

However, only Sun Wukong could do such a thing; only someone with several times the strength of his opponent could do it so easily.

Of the other people from Flower Fruit Mountain, only Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Fei Peng could learn from his techniques.

As for Demon Lord Chonglou

He never knew what it meant to hold back.

Will it be reborn? Will it be resurrected?
Then kill, keep killing, kill until the spirit is extinguished, kill until the physical form no longer exists!
The remaining people of Flower Fruit Mountain were about as strong as the gods of Heaven, and it was already a struggle for them to deal with them.

Moreover, we must hold back, only blocking and not killing.

The most troublesome thing is that the seal is not a panacea.

The seal that Sun Wukong temporarily set up had no other function; it couldn't turn a person into pus in a short time like the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle or the Purple Gold Gourd.

Even if the people inside the golden gourd struggle desperately, the gourd will break, and they will return sooner or later.

Hu Xiuwu has already entangled with Laozi, broken out of the Three Realms, and headed to the void for a final battle.

Nuwa entangled the Jade Emperor, but she was also entangled by him.

The battle between Flower Fruit Mountain and the Heavenly Court achieved a certain degree of fairness through a strange balance.

All of them were unable to spare any players, so the outcome depended entirely on their own efforts.

Of course, the Heavenly Court has a slight advantage.

Having long since become puppets of the Jade Emperor, they are immortal. On the Flower Fruit Mountain side, the demonic allied forces are brave and fearless, the divine army is disciplined, and the Peach Blossom Spring demons are loyal.

However, none of these could stop an invincible army.

Even the fiercest battles at Huaguo Mountain inevitably resulted in casualties.

One side's strength remains unchanged, while the other is slowly declining. This is already a sign of defeat.

The Peach Blossom Spring demons were the first to enter the fray.
Tiger Vanguard and the Peach Blossom Demon Clan led by White Wolf Demon Zhao Qi fought bravely against the enemy, but they were a demon clan that Hu Xiuwu had only recently created. In terms of cultivation and accumulation, they were no match for the Demon Clan Allied Forces and the God Clan Army, let alone the gods of the Heavenly Court.

White Wolf Demon Zhao Qi launched his final charge, his werewolf body ablaze with flames, his fur and flesh burning along with his magic.

He burned everything in this charge, transforming into a giant white wolf that treads the mountain, and pounced on the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess opposite him. Braving the thunder and lightning, he perished together with the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess!

This is the last member of the Peach Blossom Spring demon clan.

Although the Peach Blossom Spring demons were able to be reborn in the Innate Demon Refining Tower, they were no longer able to help in this battle.

The battle had to continue. Sun Wukong was helpless; neither the divine general Fei Peng nor the demon lord Chonglou were strategists.

If the two of them had a way out, they wouldn't have been completely fooled by the Heavenly Emperor of the Immortal Sword God Realm.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian's eyes shot out a divine light that pierced the sky, and with the mountain-splitting axe he controlled, he split the Kitchen God and his stove fire in two.

However, at the very next moment, the Kitchen God, the Thunder God, and the Lightning Goddess appeared from behind the Heavenly Court.

The sacrifice of the White Wolf Demon Zhao Qi was all in vain.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian took out the Lotus Lantern.

The lamp shone brightly, emitting a five-colored radiance that annihilated the surrounding heavenly soldiers and generals, along with their weapons and magical treasures, into pure spiritual energy.

Even so, they were still able to be reborn and, with the power of the Jade Emperor, rejoin the battlefield.

That alone is not enough.

The Lotus Lantern is a primordial magic weapon crafted by Laozi, and in theory, it should be able to restrain the Jade Emperor.

It was because Yang Jian's power was insufficient that he was unable to fully unleash the power of the Lotus Lantern.

Everywhere Yang Jian looked, there were horrific sacrifices, blades piercing flesh, lightning and fire engulfing bodies. No one retreated, no one fled!

Unwavering, even unto death!
'To change the world, sacrifices are inevitable!'

Erlang Shen Yang Jian held the key to turning the tide of battle in his hand, and he knew exactly what he had to do.

'Why can't this sacrifice be made by me!'

'If Sun Wukong could make a sacrifice, I am not one to cling to life!'

Erlang Shen cut open his wrist and released his divine blood, which flowed into the Lotus Lantern. The divine blood, which was extremely yang, strong, good, and righteous, flowed into the lamp and became the oil for the Lotus Lantern.

Within the Lotus Lantern, the lingering, compassionate light left over from mending the heavens was nourished, its radiance surging forth, as bright as the midday sun.

The light of the Lotus Lantern illuminated the entire battlefield.

All the immortals and gods who came into contact with the light on the battlefield had their divine bodies completely dissolved in the light.

The spiritual energy it transformed into was still trapped by the five-colored mysterious light and could not escape.

Even the Jade Emperor could not bring them back to life.

The celestial energy of the gods in Heaven is locked in light, and they are temporarily outside the Jade Emperor's system of order.

Of course, this also means the loss of the ability to be reborn.

The great battle was won single-handedly by Erlang Shen.
