“Just wanted to test the mettle of the Annihilation God Emperor?”
Upon hearing these words, Jue Luo Sword Monarch felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
He couldn’t imagine what kind of apocalyptic scenery would unfold if Gu An and the Annihilation God Emperor were to fight, fearing that even the Tao Rules of the universe would shudder.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch dared not continue the conversation and could only stare blankly at Gu An.
Gu An looked back at him and smiled, “I was just talking nonsense, don’t overthink it.”
Practicing the Formless and Invisible Freedom Body, he was not affected by karma; even if he mentioned the Annihilation God Emperor’s name, he wasn’t afraid of being overheard by the Annihilation God Emperor, let alone, the Annihilation God Emperor of Outer Heaven was not the real body.
Then, Gu An patted Jue Luo Sword Monarch on the shoulder, turned around, and walked along the foot of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, planning to wander around the valley.
While it seemed he was inspecting Medicine Valley, his Divine Thought was constantly watching Ji Xiaoyu.
Faced with the formidable Demon God Xuanhuang, Ji Xiaoyu completely unleashed the power of the Primordial Daoist Talisman. Although Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor did not join the battle, he was setting up a formation, channeling mysterious forces from other Great Heaven and Earth to aid Ji Xiaoyu.
Gu An saw three towering figures in that formation, which he estimated were the other three from the group of Yin Yang Four Emperors.
The intense power of the Reincarnation Path Emperor erupted, alarming various sects around the world and attracting more Great Cultivators and Great Demons to support.
Gu An saw that Yang Xian Emperor and others also chose to join the fight, continuing to fiercely battle with the Demon God Xuanhuang.
At the same time.
At the edge of the Third Medicine Valley, atop a mountain peak by the cliff, Long Qing sat, his brows furrowed as he gazed at the sky, lost in thought.
You Yingying approached from behind, standing beside him, and asked, “Do you feel something?”
Long Qing turned to look at You Yingying and said, “Yes, Aunt You, do you feel it too?”
You Yingying had raised him since he was a child; in his heart, she was like his mother, and despite his age, he still respected You Yingying deeply.
You Yingying’s eyes were complex, she spoke softly, “Yes, I have recovered many memories and also felt the call of the origin, urging me to join that slaughter.”
Long Qing’s frown deepened, and he continued, “I haven’t recovered my memories, but I too feel a voice urging me to go out and join the battle.”
You Yingying turned to look at him, having sensed the aura of the same origin from him years ago, she knew Long Qing was also a reincarnated Heavenly Demon, but she had never mentioned it to anyone else, believing that Gu An also knew this, and thus, had always refrained from teaching him cultivation.
“Think more about your master’s teachings; it might also be a tribulation for us,” said You Yingying earnestly.
Long Qing nodded, “Don’t worry, my teacher has already warned me, I won’t be reckless, and I know exactly who I am. I am Long Qing, and nothing from the past concerns me.”
He had lived for hundreds of years, cultivated for many years, and somewhat understood the matters of past life reincarnation. He speculated that if his past identity were revealed, it would bring great trouble, which was also why his master dared not teach him.
The two turned their heads towards the horizon, continuing to share their feelings.
They were just the tip of the iceberg. In various places around the world, reincarnated Heavenly Demons began to rampage and lose their senses until they reverted to their true demonic nature and started slaughtering all living beings.
Gu An was not only focused on Ji Xiaoyu, his Divine Thought also covered various places around the world, continuing to exterminate Heavenly Demons and save the Mortal Spirits.
He did not intend to change the larger situation in the world but wished to make the remaining lives of many Mortal Spirits somewhat better.
…
Dark clouds churned, Demonic Qi roamed the Mortal World, and occasionally fierce winds roared across the land, shaking the mountains.
An Hao and a group of cultivators stood on a mountain peak, staring at the battle ahead, all showing a look of shock, even the conceited An Hao could not remain composed.
At the edge of the earth, the figure of Demon God Xuanhuang, taller than mountains, stood. His long hair transformed into a mass of dragons twisting and continuously spewing flames. His arms, bigger than mountain ranges, swung ceaselessly, and several huge Immortal Path Supreme Treasures surrounded him, various Divine Skills burst forth, shaking heaven and earth.
An Hao’s gaze fixed on a figure, a female cultivator clad in a black robe with her face covered by a black and white mask resembling a Taiji diagram. Her long hair fluttered, and behind her, a majestic golden wheel hovered, from which golden dragons surged forth, vying to attack the Demon God Xuanhuang.
It was Ji Xiaoyu!
The power of the Primordial Daoist Talisman had been fully unleashed, and now she, in her original form, was contending against Demon God Xuanhuang.
Her figure was only a hundred zhang tall, far smaller than Demon God Xuanhuang, but her aura was in no way inferior to Demon God Xuanhuang. At least from afar, An Hao and the others could not ignore her.
An Hao even compared her to the Yang Xian Emperor and found that this woman was in no way inferior.
Moreover, he felt as if he had seen her somewhere before.
“Roar—”
Demon God Xuanhuang roared again, its voice strained to exhaustion, causing heaven and earth to tremble violently.
Above its head, the dark clouds churned violently, forming a black vortex with thunder and lightning flashing inside, as if some terrifying being was about to be summoned.

Boom!
A fearsome figure descended from the black vortex, landing on the ground and raising a dust cloud ten thousand zhang high.
Another Demon God Xuanhuang!
Upon closer inspection, this Demon God differed from Demon God Xuanhuang only slightly in skin tone, almost like an avatar, his aura not at all weaker than Demon God Xuanhuang’s.
His appearance caused faces like the Yang Xian Emperor’s and others to change drastically.
One Demon God Xuanhuang was enough to drive them to despair, let alone another one. How could they possibly stand against them?
Transformed into the Reincarnation Path Emperor, Ji Xiaoyu did not show much reaction, at least the mask covered her expression.
Two Demon God Xuanhuangs stood side by side, like the highest peaks in the world, exuding an aura that disdainfully overlooked all living beings.
In their presence, everything in the world seemed to diminish.
For a moment, the great battle paused, the forces of Great Heavenly Spirit Land dared not make any rash moves, while the two Demon God Xuanhuangs fell into a peculiar state of stillness.
“What’s going on?”
A cultivator beside An Hao frowned and asked, the other cultivators also becoming even more tense.
Such a scenario was truly ominous, as if a great disaster was about to befall them.
Suddenly sensing something, An Hao abruptly looked up, his expression changing dramatically, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “How is this possible!”
The other cultivators also looked up, all of them turning pale with fright.
In the sky, within the dark clouds, terrifying figures loomed, all immensely large, their forms identical to that of Demon God Xuanhuang.
Yang Xian Emperor and Holy Minister also turned pale.
In the distance, on the desolate land where the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor was forming formations, he too was dumbfounded, his body trembling, unable to believe his eyes.
“How can there be so many…”
The Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor said tremblingly. Behind him, three huge shadowy figures constantly supplied power to the Reincarnation Path Emperor, but these three figures seemed insignificant in front of the myriad Demon God figures, like ants looking up to a god.
As far as the eye could see, the figures of Demon God Xuanhuang filled the whole firmament, each one already monstrous in size, now numbering over a hundred, forming a scene that drove all beings to despair.
