I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Huang Feng, the Great Sage, led more than 6,000 Zhang Tianying generals in a fierce battle within the Xuan Lei Passage, while four Great Awakening Golden Immortals from the Earth and Fire Clans continuously besieged Lei Shuxuan.

Nevertheless, Lei Shuxuan did not hesitate to fight four opponents alone, blocking the four Great Awakening Golden Immortals outside the Xuan Lei Passage.

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of immortal cultivators from the Earth and Fire races rushed into the Xuanlei Passage to surround and intercept Zhang Tianying. Huang Feng Dasheng and the others did not linger in battle at all, but headed towards the Heavenly Gate at top speed.

When Zhang Tianying finally escaped the entanglement of hundreds of thousands of immortal cultivators from the Earth and Fire races behind him and saw the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World, he found that the fighting there was even more brutal.

More than one million immortal cultivators from the Earth and Fire clans, led by six Great Awakening Golden Immortals, are launching an extremely frenzied attack on the Heavenly Gate.

All the Dao Lords of the Wind and Thunder Great World also mobilized. Apart from Lei Shuxuan, who came to meet Zhang Tianying, Dao Lord Jifeng, Dao Lord Biaofeng, Dao Lord Zhenlei, Dao Lord Lingfeng, Dao Lord Xuanfeng, and Dao Lord Yulei all appeared outside the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World.

In addition, there were 1.5 million immortal cultivators gathered from the Wind and Thunder Great World. The vast battlefield made even the enormous Heavenly Gate seem insignificant. Various supernatural powers and spells shone brightly on the battlefield, illuminating the dark realm outside the Heavenly Gate with dazzling colors.

Watching the battle raging outside the Heavenly Gate, Xie Xuan, the wounded deputy general, asked Huang Feng the Great Sage, "Grand Commandant, should we go and provide support?"

The Great Sage Huang Feng frowned and glanced back at the six thousand Heavenly Camp generals behind him. He saw that the armor on each of them was stained red with blood and had many cracks that were clearly visible to the naked eye.

The Great Sage Huang Feng withdrew his gaze and said, "No, let's go into the Wind and Thunder Great World to rest first."

As soon as Huang Feng Dasheng finished speaking, Huo Yun Daojun, who was directing his army to attack the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World, noticed Zhang Tianying inside the Xuan Lei Passage.

Huoyun Daojun's gaze sharpened, and he raised his hand to point at the Xuanlei Passage below. Instantly, countless deep red flames rose up throughout the entire Xuanlei Passage.

Once this fire was unleashed, even the "fire-repelling" and "evasion" abilities on the Eight Treasures Armor became ineffective, and more than six thousand Zhang Tianying soldiers were instantly engulfed in flames.

"Oh no, it's Nanming Li Huo!" Lieutenant General Li Ji exclaimed in alarm, followed by a painful cry.

Xue Baochai felt her mouth, throat, and internal organs burning; she felt her eight-treasure armor melting; she felt her skin flowing.

Besides the roaring flames, there were also countless screams of Zhang Tianying's comrades from all directions.

At this moment, even the skin of the Yellow Wind Great Sage was rapidly turning charred black, his Eight Treasures Armor was turning bright red, and his flesh was melting.

At the same time, a surge of magical power came from behind, and then Yuan Lei Daojun Lei Shuxuan crashed heavily into the Heavenly Gate, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence before he could stabilize himself.

But just as he regained his footing and looked towards the Xuanlei Passage, he saw that the overwhelming Nanming Li Fire had completely swallowed the Xuanlei Passage.

"Nanming Li Fire?!" Yuan Lei Daojun exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed in, rescuing more than two thousand Zhang Tianying generals with a flick of his sleeve.

But when he was about to go in to rescue people again, he was surrounded by Tu Xuanzi, Huo Lingkong, Tu Yanjun, and Huo Fusheng, who had followed closely behind.

On the entire Tianmen battlefield, no one had the spare strength to rescue Huang Feng Dasheng and the others who were trapped in the fire.

But at this critical moment, despite the Southern Bright Fire and the excruciating pain emanating from his body, the Great Sage Huang Feng took out the 'Mysterious Jade Statue' that Zhuang Yan had given him before he left.

The Great Sage Yellow Wind removed his red-hot Eight Treasures Armor and used it as an altar to enshrine the Xuan Yu Divine Statue. He then took out a stick of incense and offered it as a sacrifice.

However, the incense would be burned to ashes by the surrounding Nanming Fire as soon as it was taken out, making it impossible to complete the offering. The Great Sage Huangfeng gritted his teeth and directly plunged his right hand into his chest, pulling out a rib.

Because he possessed a flawless divine body, the rib, though charred black after being pulled out, did not turn to ashes.

So the Great Sage Huang Feng used this rib as incense, inserted it into the altar, and bowed, saying: "Your subject, Zhang Tian Taiwei Huang Feng, respectfully pays homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Divine Firmament, the Heavenly Venerable of the Spiritual Platform and the Law-Bearing Heavenly Venerable, who assists the Three Realms!"

With a whoosh, the rib turned into a wisp of green smoke and floated up, disappearing into the Xuan Yu statue.

The Xuan Yu statue also took flight in an instant, instantly connecting with Zhuang Yan's divine will within the Pangu Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, Zhuang Yan, who was sitting in the Dust World Palace, suddenly sensed the heavenly secrets within the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, and also sensed the worship of the Great Sage Yellow Wind.

Zhuang Yan's brow twitched suddenly. "The Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder has taken the initiative to make concessions! It has allowed me to project a limited amount of its power." Although this concession is not significant, it is a huge opportunity for the Heavenly Dao of Pangu.

Zhuang Yan's mind raced. He immediately raised his hand and issued an imperial edict, which soared into the ninth heaven and landed in the Divine Thunder Jade Palace.

Soon, the True Martial Emperor received Zhuang Yan's imperial edict. He immediately got up and went to the Hall of the Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Spreading Transformation to Report: "Heavenly Venerable, the Divine Firmament Emperor has issued an edict summoning me to go."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zu said, "Since it is the Great Emperor Shenxiao who has summoned you, you should go and obey his orders immediately."

Emperor Zhenwu bowed and said, "Yes." Then Emperor Zhenwu left the Divine Thunder Jade Palace, went straight out of the Jade Capital Great Luo Heaven, descended the Nine Heavens and came to the Spirit Platform Dao Palace of the Dust World Jade Palace on Mount Buzhou.

Bao Jie and Xiu Huang Tongzi pushed open the gate of the Chenhuan Palace. Zhenwu the Great Emperor flew into the palace on auspicious clouds and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "Your subject has come by imperial decree to pay respects to His Majesty the Divine Firmament Emperor."

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities." Zhuang Yan looked at the True Martial Emperor with a smile and said in a gentle tone, "The matter is urgent, so I won't say anything more. Please head to the mortal realm of Wind and Thunder as soon as possible."

The True Martial Emperor's expression turned solemn, and he said, "The appearance of wind and thunder in the world indicates an unexpected change?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "The Five Elements Heavenly Dao is launching a fierce attack on the Wind and Thunder Great World, while my Pangu Heavenly Dao's Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge will take another thirty years to complete. Zhang Tianying is now in danger of being destroyed. The Great Sage Huangfeng has prayed to me with the Xuanyu Divine Statue, and the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao has made concessions, allowing me to send my great power over there."

After listening to Zhuang Yan's brief explanation, Emperor Zhenwu immediately understood one of the reasons: "Your Majesty wants me to go and rescue Zhang Tianying, and help the Wind and Thunder Great World resist the attack of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao?"

"Yes," Zhuang Yan said, "just these two points." The True Martial Emperor nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand and conferred a talisman, which landed in front of the True Martial Emperor. The True Martial Emperor reached out and took the talisman, putting it into his sleeve.

Then Zhuang Yan flicked his finger, and suddenly a beam of mysterious light flew out from the darkness and landed directly on the True Martial Emperor.

Zhuang Yan said, "After this, Zhang Tianying will be temporarily under your command. You will represent the Pangu Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Court in the name of 'True Martial Emperor' to unite with the Wind and Thunder Great World and jointly attack the Five Elements Heavenly Dao. As long as you do not disrupt the overall trend of cooperation between the Pangu Heavenly Dao and the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, you can make all other decisions and have the power to act arbitrarily."

Emperor Zhenwu bowed again and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of mysterious light appeared on his body, and the True Martial Emperor immediately disappeared into the mysterious light. Then the mysterious light flew up and plunged into the boundless darkness, disappearing into the Pangu Heavenly Dao in the blink of an eye.

As the wind and thunder manifested, outside the Heavenly Gate of the Great World of Wind and Thunder, the Southern Bright Fire, which covered the long Xuan Lei passage, continued to burn.

Under the siege of four Great Awakening Golden Immortals—Tu Xuanzi, Huo Lingkong, Tu Yanjun, and Huo Fusheng—Yuan Lei Daojun was unable to get close to provide assistance. Even his Dharma body was killed four times, and his vital energy had dropped by 40%.

Xue Baochai watched helplessly as her comrades-in-arms vanished one by one in the flames, and could only desperately try to sustain themselves with her Taoist magic.

Xue Baochai cultivated the Metal Element Taoist magic. Originally, she had a terrible disease called "Sinful Fire Refining Gold," but the symptoms disappeared after she came to the world of Wind and Thunder.

Faced with the Nanming Li Fire before her, she was surprised to find that although her metal element magic could not withstand the power of the Nanming Li Fire, it produced the miraculous effect of 'fire refining metal and water'.

Once the Metal Element Daoist technique within Xue Baochai's body is activated, its magical power will be instantly refined by the Southern Bright Fire, and then transformed into 'Metal Water'.

The golden water surrounding Xue Baochai effectively neutralized most of the power of the Southern Bright Fire, allowing her to hold on until now.

Despite this, Xue Baochai's once jet-black hair had now turned dry and yellow, and most of her skin had melted, wrinkled and shrunken, revealing the flesh beneath, which was blood red yet tinged with a pale white.

"This is bad." While fighting the Great Awakening Golden Immortal of the Fire Clan in front of him, Daoist Jifeng transmitted his voice to Daoist Yuanlei in the distance: "Daoist Yuanlei, Zhang Tianying is beyond saving. You should retreat quickly and come back to fight the enemy with us."

Since we can't save Zhang Tianying, we must now ensure that Daoist Yuan Lei escapes unscathed and not let him be caught in the crossfire.

Upon hearing the transmission from Daoist Jifeng, Daoist Yuanlei looked up at the vast fire domain covered by the Southern Bright Fire, then sighed deeply. Without further hesitation, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, shaking off the four Great Awakenings around him, and retreated to the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World.

When Tu Xuanzi and the other three Great Awakening Golden Immortals saw Yuan Lei Daojun retreat, although they were too late to stop him, they did not hesitate and immediately followed after him.

Soon, Tu Xuanzi and his three companions joined forces with six other Great Awakening Golden Immortals from the Earth and Fire clans. The ten Great Awakening Golden Immortals combined their forces and immediately launched an even more ferocious attack on the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World.

Faced with the attack of ten Great Awakening Golden Immortals, the seven Great Awakening Golden Immortals who appeared in the world of Wind and Thunder were under immense pressure.

Meanwhile, the more than 600,000 Five Elements Heavenly Dao Immortal Cultivators in the rear joined forces with the more than 1 million Immortal Cultivators attacking the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World. Even the Immortal Cultivators who appeared in the Wind and Thunder World began to be put on the defensive.

Glancing at the situation below, Daoist Gale, while withstanding the overwhelming magical power before him, said, "The situation is unsustainable. We must conserve our strength, shrink our defenses, and plan for the future."

Blood kept spilling from Yuan Lei Daojun's mouth. Facing the attack of multiple Great Awakening Golden Immortals, his magical power was being weakened. "If we retreat, we will have to abandon the Heavenly Gate."

Xuanfeng Daojun said, "We have already built nine lines of defense behind the Heavenly Gate, enough to hold them off for forty years. If our immortal cultivators are surrounded and annihilated here, it will be even more difficult to fight from there."

Upon hearing Xuanfeng Daojun's words, Yuanlei Daojun remained silent, merely resisting the attack from the Great Awakening Golden Immortal.

At this moment, it was Daoist Jifeng who made the decision. He glanced at the battlefield below. Of the 1.5 million immortal cultivators in the Wind and Thunder Great World, 30% had already sacrificed themselves, leaving approximately 1 million or so remaining.

Meanwhile, the number of immortal cultivators of the Five Elements Heavenly Path has now reached more than two million, and they are surrounding us from all directions.

If these more than one million people were surrounded and annihilated, it would indeed be a huge blow to the defense of the Wind and Thunder Great World.

Therefore, Daoist Jifeng immediately made a decision and ordered: "Withdraw! Abandon the Heavenly Gate and retreat to the Ninefold Wind and Thunder Defense Line."

Communication and movement among immortals are extremely fast. Less than a quarter of an hour after the Extreme Wind Dao Lord issued the decree, more than one million immortal cultivators across the entire Wind and Thunder Great World began to retreat steadily.

Those who remained at the rear continued to fight the enemy to cover the retreat for the others, while the other immortal cultivators began to retreat into the Heavenly Gate as quickly as possible.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Huoyun immediately realized the intentions of the people who had appeared in the world of wind and thunder, and immediately ordered, "They are retreating! Attack the Heavenly Gate!"

Both sides gave orders simultaneously: one side retreated rapidly, while the other desperately pursued.

Extreme Wind Dao Lord and the others were the last to retreat. They were still fighting against the ten Great Awakening Golden Immortals of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, trying to stop them from advancing.

Before all the immortal cultivators below retreated back to the Wind and Thunder Great World, these Great Awakening Golden Immortals could not retreat, otherwise they would suffer a complete defeat.

Just as the situation was deteriorating, the Xuanlei Channel, which had been swallowed by the Nanming Li Huo, underwent a strange change.

Everyone noticed an extremely powerful and sharp aura emerging from the Nanming Li Fire, and then a huge Dharma image rose up from the Nanming Li Fire.

The Dharma image appeared, its hair disheveled and feet bare, clad in golden armor and a black robe, holding aloft a black banner and a mighty sword to slay demons. Its divine power was awe-inspiring, its Dharma image radiant. Upon its appearance, it commanded the surrounding area with its imposing presence. Then, with a flick of its sword finger and a breath of air, the boundless, surging Southern Bright Fire instantly subsided and extinguished! (End of Chapter)
