After those six giant fists, Ziling's expression did not relax but grew uglier. Following the six giant fists were twelve more. This was truly torturous. The increasingly powerful attacks with each wave spurred a sense of helplessness in the depths of one's heart because you didn't know whether, after exhausting all your strength to withstand an attack, an even stronger one would follow. And if so, could you still endure it?
However, no matter what, the three, including Ziling, were of resolute mind and would never give up. So, facing the twelve giant fists that seemed despairingly powerful, Ziling took the lead. Clasping his hands together, he then forcefully pulled them apart. Between his palms, a brilliance like a constantly shifting rainbow suddenly appeared. After the light emerged, Ziling grasped one end and shook it violently, dispersing all the brilliance to reveal a scroll painted with magnificent mountains and rivers in his hands.
"The Scroll of Vast Seas and Rivers, the mountains and rivers within shall change." A voice that shook the soul erupted from Ziling. He then shook the scroll in his hand and it inflated as if caught by a strong wind. The scroll transformed into something like a living dragon, and within a few twists and turns, it had enveloped all twelve giant fists. Afterward, the giant fists disappeared, and Ziling, looking somewhat pale, gestured with his hand and the scroll shrank back to its original size, floating beside him.
What was originally an imposing strike was casually resolved by Ziling in such a manner. Although he appeared pale, he had still managed to neutralize it. After the twelve giant fists, the pond gradually calmed down, and Pangu and Yue Huangquan, still shaken, moved behind Ziling and placed a hand each on his back, sharing their spiritual power to help him recover from the internal injuries caused by absorbing the twelve fists.
Nevertheless, the frown on Ziling's face did not ease, and he still looked gravely down at the pond, speaking in a deep voice, "Brother Huangquan, both of you quickly leave. The attacks from below haven't ended, and I can feel that there will be more..." Ziling was cut off mid-sentence when the formerly placid pond began to tremble violently again, shaking the ground as well. Ziling knew that it was already too late to run. "Huangquan, find a way to open the bronze door, I will hold them off, we'll look for a chance to escape!" As soon as Ziling finished speaking, an explosion erupted from the pond, with water shooting up to the sky.
Above the water column, a nine-meter-tall dark figure stood. This figure was almost identical to the one summoned by Xi Zhao in the Patrolling Celestial World during the battle with Sun Wukong, but in terms of power, it was incomparable to the one from before. Xi Zhao's figure flickered in and out of the silhouette. At that moment, Xi Zhao's condition was quite dire, with blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth and his eyes turning blood red. "You forced this upon me, you brought this on yourselves!" he screamed hysterically, then closed his eyes.
The nine-meter-tall shadow vanished abruptly, causing Ziling's pupils to constrict. He immediately turned around, grabbed Pangu and Yue Huangquan with one hand each, and flung them away with all his might. The scroll appeared once again, but this time it floated above Ziling's head. Just as Pangu and Yue Huangquan were flung backward, the dark figure had already dived down from above Ziling. The shadow bent its right leg, aiming the knee ferociously at the scroll above Ziling's head. The seemingly flimsy scroll astonishingly blocked the fierce attack of the dark shadow.
Yet, Ziling's face turned even paler. When the dark figure missed its strike, it immediately spun around, stretching out both hands towards Ziling. He thought fast, and the scroll enveloped him in an instant, thwarting the dark figure's attack once more. Pangu and Yue Huangquan exchanged glances, and instead of running away, they turned back and lunged toward the dark figure.
After being blocked by the scroll again, the dark figure grew increasingly enraged. To the surprise of Ziling, Yue Huangquan, and the others, the figure suddenly disappeared once more. By that time, Yue Huangquan and Pangu had reached Ziling's side. Ziling didn't say much but looked up towards the sky. "You two should have left. I fear soon, nobody will be able to!" Ziling's words had just ended when the entirety of the Annihilation Demon Nation began to shake. The scene changed dramatically as the previously clear sky was suddenly covered with dense clouds. Thunder flashed and roared, foreshadowing an apocalyptic vision.
Just then, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly split open, and an indescribable colossal arm reached out from the rift. The arm was covered in complex patterns. Before Ziling could make out what those patterns were, the entire arm had already smashed down, targeting Ziling and his two companions. There was no way to dodge this punch, because it had completely locked onto all three of them. Even if they were to break through space and flee now, that massive fist would still shatter space and pursue them, making it even harder to withstand alone. Therefore, after exchanging glances with each other, they all unleashed their strongest powers. With the three of them together, there might be a chance to block it.
Ziling was at the forefront while Yue Huangquan and Pangu supported from behind. All three simultaneously let out a cry and then the colossal fist, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, smashed down ferociously. The three of them raised their hands together and caught the giant fist with sheer brute strength. To the onlooker, it looked like a person trying to crush three ants with a fist. However, these three ants were surprisingly resilient.
Xi Zhao was both shocked and furious to see this terrifying punch blocked by sheer force. However, he was in no hurry because this was not the extent of his power since he hadn't yet used the World Suppressing Stele, Annihilation Number One. The Annihilation Number One turned out to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Actually, the previous dark silhouette was just to allow Xi Zhao to ascend to higher altitudes without hindrance; now Xi Zhao's true body was within this segment of arm. So when he decided to use the Heavenly Stele, he directly struck the stele from within the arm.
The deep purple World Suppressing Stele, Annihilation Number One, directly transformed into a purple dragon, spiraling around the arm and descending rapidly. At that moment, Ziling and his companions had put all of their strength into resisting the arm, and even as they saw the purple dragon descending, they found no way to defend against it. If they were to divert their focus to defend against the purple dragon at this moment, they would undoubtedly be struck directly by the colossal fist. The immense force of the fist possessed power that even Ziling found shocking – the last time he had felt such formidable strength was during the super battle in ancient times, on the bodies of the Underworld Venerate and Pioneer.
Yet, the power unleashed by this fist had already surpassed even his Heavenly Venerate's Peak level, causing an extreme shock in Ziling's heart. Supposedly, since the end of that super battle, the limit of power in this universe should have been at the Heavenly Venerate's Peak, just like his and the Heavenly Patroller's strength, and actually, his cultivation was even slightly lower than the Heavenly Patroller's. But by all means, there should have been no power exceeding the Heavenly Venerate's Peak, right? Since the birth of this universe, there have been only two individuals who surpassed it: one was the Pioneer, the other the Underworld Venerate. Could it be that Xi Zhao had already obtained the Underworld Venerate's legacy and possessed his power?
As Ziling pondered, Pangu beside him suddenly shouted in anger, for the purple dragon had already bitten onto Pangu's shoulder. However, Pangu had to focus all his strength on resisting the colossal fist, so he could only endure the pain. Ziling glanced at Pangu, realizing if they continued like this, the three of them would likely perish here. That three Heavenly Venerate powerhouses were being taken down by Xi Zhao, whose strength was just at the Domain Lord Level, was an absolute humiliation. But just as Ziling was prepared to pay any price necessary, the purple dragon suddenly released Pangu and merged with the giant arm, which turned a deep purple in an instant.
Then Ziling, Pangu, and Yue Huangquan could no longer hold on and were smashed away by the deep purple colossal fist. However, at that very moment, Yue Huangquan shouted, "It worked, stop resisting!" Following his voice, a bronze door, not too large, appeared behind the three as they were flung backward. The door opened on its own, and Ziling, Pangu, and Yue Huangquan fell into it. Soon after, the doors closed and the bronze doors also vanished.
Ziling and his companions disappeared just like that, and then the enormous deep purple arm vanished in an instant as well. Xi Zhao and the World Suppressing Stele, Annihilation Number One, plummeted from midair. Xi Zhao had also reached his limit; if Ziling and the others had held on a while longer, Xi Zhao would have been the one to lose, and all the others present would have been undoubtedly doomed. Fen Yan, who had been observing from a distance, was deeply stunned by everything that had happened. However, when he saw Xi Zhao plummeting to the ground, he quickly moved to catch her before she hit the ground. Looking at Xi Zhao at that moment, Fen Yan felt an almost worshipful awe; the horror of that last punch had deeply etched itself into his memory.
"Quick, take me to the teleportation array beneath that pool, then find Ling Weiyang and any others who are still alive. Have them return to the Myriad Demons Country immediately, and activate its seal. Tell Ling Weiyang that Ziling has escaped, but will likely return soon, so he must conceal the Myriad Demons Country properly. And tell them, eighty-one years from now, I will return!" After Xi Zhao finished speaking, Fen Yan immediately picked up Xi Zhao and sprinted toward the pond, where indeed a teleportation array was hidden. Placing Xi Zhao upon it, the array flashed with light, and Xi Zhao disappeared. Then the teleportation array quietly shattered. Xi Zhao had destroyed the array himself, ensuring that no one would be able to find the Heritage Site, not even Yue Huangquan. The space created by the Underworld Venerate was not something Yue Huangquan could break through by force.
Fen Yan then found Ling Weiyang, barely clinging to life within a large crater, and summoned the remaining forces of the Demon Clan. Accompanied by the few who had not perished, they immediately returned to the Myriad Demons Country!
