"Only by fighting an opponent of the same level is there fun!" Having said that, Yue Huangquan had already charged in the opposite direction towards Ling Weiyang. The battle that followed could only be described as brutal. Neither Ling Weiyang nor Yue Huangquan held back, abandoning all techniques and relying solely on their formidable physical strength in the most primitive of struggles, fist against flesh. Additionally, their styles of combat were very similar, both forsaking defense entirely, adopting an all-out offensive stance. As a result, both quickly sustained injuries, although Yue Huangquan's wounds were far less severe than those of Ling Weiyang. After all, Ling Weiyang's fusion of the four emperors and four spirits was only temporary, not complete. Ling Weiyang's ambition was not limited to just these four emperors and four spirits.
Although the current state of the battle seemed to be at a stalemate, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Ling Weiyang's defeat was only a matter of time. One of the Nine Kirin, Mo Zhu, had been knocked unconscious by Ziling and was now at death's door, while the other eight were seriously wounded. It wasn't that Ziling hadn't killed them; rather, the Nine Kirin possessed a secret technique that allowed their life forces to be interconnected, meaning as long as one was alive, the rest could only be severely injured. Ziling naturally did not know this; under his attack, seven had lost their life force, so Ziling thought they had died. However, after the Life Kirin shared its life force, the Nine Kirin were all heavily damaged, and the possibility of continuing to fight was out of the question.
Meanwhile, about half of the Myriad Demons army of 120,000 had already been annihilated by Ziling. The once dense swarm of the Demon Clan's forces in the sky were now plummeting down like dumplings in a downpour, piling up into several mountains of corpses and seas of blood below. On Pangu's side, the Old King had launched the Poison Blood Nine Sacrifices at the cost of his own life force, and the blood creature that Pangu had split in two and then cleansed was merely a blinding trick. The real Old King had already turned into invisible gaseous blood during the explosion and entered Pangu's body through his pores.
Furthermore, when Pangu was attacking Qian Shang and Luo Chen, the Old King timely employed the Blood Sacrifice, one of the Poison Blood Nine Sacrifices, to seize control of Pangu's body. However, the difference in cultivation between the Old King and Pangu was simply too vast. Despite paying the ultimate price to control Pangu, the Old King could only manage to hold him for a mere five or six breaths before the vital energy he had become was almost completely refined by the Chaos Fire within Pangu's body. Hence, by the time Qian Shang and Luo Chen had reached the ground and Luo Chen had just finished bandaging Qian Shang's wounds, Pangu had already completely escaped Old King's control. And the Old King had vanished, leaving neither bone nor soul behind, as even his spirit was incinerated by Pangu's Chaos Fire.
Pangu frowned, inwardly lamenting his own carelessness. A mere Half-step Heavenly Venerate had managed to enter his bloodstream and take control of him. Fortunately, the Old King's cultivation was not high; had it been of the Heavenly Venerate Level, Pangu might have survived but not without losing a layer of skin. After a slight movement of his limbs, the discomfort from the Old King's control had dissipated. The figure standing before Pangu now was only Fen Yan. After ingesting the fake Elixir Spirit Pill, the Old King's cultivation had barely reached the Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage, but the price he paid for using the Poison Blood Nine Sacrifices was so steep that as soon as he turned into vital energy and entered Pangu's body, his cultivation was reduced to Half-step Heavenly Venerate.
At the moment, Fen Yan was also at the Half-step Heavenly Venerate level. Pangu glanced at Qian Shang and Luo Chen on the ground, feeling no difference between finishing off Fen Yan first or dealing with Luo Chen and Qian Shang. He stopped his actions because he suddenly had an ominous feeling. Immediately, Pangu turned to look at Yue Huangquan, but the battle between Yue Huangquan and Ling Weiyang was so intense that he couldn't sense anything off. However, Ziling then appeared beside Pangu.

"Have you felt it too?" Ziling asked Pangu with a frown, to which Pangu nodded and replied with uncertainty, "I don't know what this feeling is, but it seems very ominous, as if a great crisis is approaching. However..." At this point, Pangu looked around puzzled. Ziling was also pondering something and said, "I feel the same, the sensation is very real, but I can't figure out what it is. Go stop Yue Huangquan, this battle might be about to change!" Pangu nodded, leapt up, and charged towards Ling Weiyang and Yue Huangquan.
Both men were already drenched in fresh blood from numerous wounds, but overall, Ling Weiyang's injuries were more severe. Although Ziling had told Pangu to stop Yue Huangquan, Pangu still seized the moment and landed a direct ax blow on Ling Weiyang's back. Fortunately, after Ling Weiyang's fusion with the four emperors and four spirits, his body had become exceptionally strong; otherwise, that blow might have killed him on the spot. Although his ax did not kill Ling Weiyang, it left a deep bone-visible gash on Ling Weiyang's back.
Being struck so severely from behind, Ling Weiyang's movements naturally faltered, and Yue Huangquan showed no mercy as he landed a heavy punch on Ling Weiyang's chin, followed by clasping his fists together for a Full Force Strike on the top of Ling Weiyang's head. Ling Weiyang, who had been evenly matched with Yue Huangquan, was suddenly defeated by Yue Huangquan due to Pangu's unexpected intervention.
But at this time, Yue Huangquan was already in a tyrant's rage, seeing his opponent attacked by Pangu, he became furiously enraged and directly aimed a kick at Pangu's neck. However, the kick missed and was blocked by Ziling. Following that, with a flash, Ziling was already behind Yue Huangquan and, after a few spirals with his arm, he had restrained him, at the same time shouting sharply, "Yue Huangquan, stop! There's been a change in the situation!" Ziling's shout snapped Yue Huangquan to his senses, leaving him somewhat puzzled as he looked at Ziling and asked, "What happened? What's the matter? I was enjoying the fight!"
Ziling did not reply but instead pointed at the pool of water below and said, "I fear there's a problem with this place!" Yue Huangquan, having calmed down, quickly sensed the inexplicable threat and was similarly startled. Just as Ziling was about to say something more, all three of their expressions changed drastically. At this moment, they saw the previously calm pool of water suddenly start rolling violently, as if some gigantic creature was about to burst forth from within.
Quickly the water in the pool split to both sides, and a huge fist charged directly towards Ziling and the others from beneath the water. The moment the gigantic fist left the surface of the water, Ziling's face had turned deathly pale, as he exclaimed in disbelief, "Underworld, the aura of the Underworld Venerate, how can this be, has the Underworld Venerate been resurrected?" There was no time for Ziling to say more, as the enormous fist was already before their eyes.
At this point, Pangu shouted, "We can't take it head-on, this is the strongest punch among the Chaos Five Decisions, 'Heaven and Earth are Mine,' dodge, dodge quickly!" Whether it was the Chaos Five Decisions as Pangu believed or the resurrection of the Underworld Venerate as Ziling thought, under this punch, the three of them had no intention of resisting. Almost with the fastest speed they had ever used in their lives, they fled in three different directions. The fist charged through the location where the three had just been standing and flew upwards into the sky. At that moment, the three could see that it was just a fist, with no arm attached.
Watching the fist that had flown into the void, all three of them felt an unsettling terror. Yue Huangquan then asked in confusion, "What on earth is this? Why does it feel so terrifying? A direct hit would surely cause severe injury!" Ziling first shook his head and then said with some uncertainty, "I can sense the aura of the Underworld Venerate on this fist, but Brother Pangu also said this is the strongest technique among the Chaos Five Decisions, so I'm not sure if this is a technique or something else." Just as Yue Huangquan was about to speak again, a booming voice suddenly erupted from the pool below, "You think it's over? Hahaha, let me tell you, this is just the beginning! Destroying my Annihilation Demon Nation comes at a heavy cost!"
The voice belonged to Xi Zhao. And following Xi Zhao's crazed and domineering voice, three fists, identical to the previous one, shot up from within the pool. The first one alone had already scared the three immensely; now that three more emerged, all three couldn't help but feel waves of terror. Yet the fists showed no mercy and charged at them with the speed of lightning. Among the three, Ziling was the strongest in cultivation and had earned his powers through his own efforts, thus he skillfully dodged the punch that flew his way once again.
However, it wasn't so easy for Pangu and Yue Huangquan. Both had attained the mid-grade level of Heavenly Venerate thanks to external aids and rarely wielded the power of this level, but they still managed to dodge, only to be swept by the punch's wind, causing their vital energy to churn within them. Xi Zhao, who was in the pool, clearly had no intention of letting the three off so easily. In quick succession, six more fists shot out from the water. These six fists were strategically placed, forming a Six Extremes Yin Yang Formation, locking down all possible escape routes for the three. Moreover, these six fists were not targeting the three individually like before but were constantly changing positions. Any lapse would no longer mean facing one or two fists but all of them. In such a case, besides Ziling, Pangu and Yue Huangquan were doomed.
"We can't dodge any longer, if we do, there will be no chance left. I'll take on four, each of you handle one!"
As soon as Ziling finished speaking, he turned and charged towards those surging fists, nimbly shifting his position at tremendous speed to match the ever-changing six fists.
The next moment, four consecutive booms rang out, and Ziling, using his own fists, had knocked away four of the enormous fists. Ziling did not simply repel or smash them but rather struck the sides of the fists with formidable force, causing the fists to change their trajectory, breaking the Six Extremes Yin Yang Formation. Then two more booms followed, as the remaining two fists were also sent flying.
