The great battle among the three warriors stirred up billows of smoke. Just as they were engaged in the fierce confrontation, a surge of demonic qi rushed in from the horizon.
Yaohua's eyes narrowed slightly. "It's the Demon Lord!"
The Demon Lord burst into laughter and joined the battle. "Chongming, I should really thank you. If it weren't for your strange behavior, how could I have discovered such a wonderful way to gain the favor of the Reincarnation Script by killing others?"
Although his words were of gratitude, he showed no mercy. Every strike was aimed at Chongming's vital spots.
He said to Muhua, "Let's join forces first. After we kill this couple, we can then decide the winner!"
The cold and emotionless voice of the Nether Spirit Sea rang out. "An abnormality has been detected. This trial will be closed soon. Please all participants decide the winner before the closure. Ten, nine, eight…"
Muhua's eyes glinted with ferocity, and colorful lights flickered around him.
The demonic qi surging around the Demon Lord was actually overshadowed by him, causing the Demon Lord to cast a sidelong glance.
Yaohua and Chongming, the husband and wife, also stared at Muhua in shock.
They saw his round belly swell up. The colorful lights flashing inside seemed to be about to burst through his abdomen, emitting a world - shattering and astonishing energy.
If this energy were to explode, it was feared that all things in the world would be destroyed by such a terrifying force.
The Demon Lord swallowed hard. "This guy… couldn't have killed all the ancient gods, could he?"
The couple asked coolly, "Don't you know?"
Their eyes met, and a strange sense of peace was reached.
The Demon Lord, abandoning his usual overbearing aura, weakly asked, "How about… the three of us join forces to kill him first, and then decide the winner?"
Killing all the ancient gods and absorbing all their power was an act against the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, the Demon Lord vaguely felt that there would be an invisible force to set everything right.
This invisible pressure was a terrifying existence even to him. That was why, over the years, when he fought with the ancient gods, although he seemed to want to kill them, he actually left some leeway.
But Muhua dared to kill the ancient gods and attempt to absorb their power. This act violated all the rules, yet he seemed to have found some loophole. It was so crazy that even the Demon Lord felt a bit intimidated and wanted to kill him quickly.
The couple didn't say a word. They just stared intently at the lights flickering in Muhua's belly.
The cold and emotionless voice of the Nether Spirit Sea continued, "Three, two, one!"
At the same time, Muhua's swollen belly seemed to have been punctured. A beam of light shot out.
Yaohua was quick - witted. She pushed the Demon Lord aside. Before she could regain her strength, Chongming grabbed her waist and retreated at an extremely high speed.
The Demon Lord never expected that the upright Chongming would try to harm him from behind. In grief and indignation, he collided with Muhua.
Boom!
At the entrance of the Nether Spirit Sea, the colorful lights and demonic qi exploded into extremely gorgeous fireworks.
Outside the Nether Spirit Sea, there seemed to be faint curses, but a gentle force protected all sentient beings.
Then, the entrance closed completely, and the people at the explosion site disappeared without a trace.
Seeing her elder brother and the others waking up one by one, Yaohua finally felt relieved. She noticed a vague demonic shadow on the horizon and quickly rushed over.
The Demon Lord was lying dying among the rubble. As he cursed and got up, he suddenly saw Yaohua's figure. Fear flashed in his eyes, and he said bravely but inwardly timidly, "I didn't expect that the great Phoenix would actually do such a despicable thing—"
Before he could finish his words, Yaohua waved her hand, and the Phoenix spiritual light appeared in her hand.
She mercilessly raised the spiritual light high and then brought it down.
"No!" The Demon Lord's eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to stop her but had no strength at all. He could only roar in grief and indignation. He hadn't led the Demon Race to revive their great cause. How could he be easily suppressed?
On the other side, Muhua looked extremely pale. The colorful lights around him occasionally erupted with destructive power, shattering the things around him.
A disheveled figure appeared beside him. The God Lord, holding the colorful stone that was once Tuyang, staggered and said, "Tuyang, I'll avenge you soon. Soon…"
Muhua opened his eyes weakly but still sneered mercilessly, "You look like a dog. Do you think you can take advantage of my weakness to kill me?"
The colorful light in his belly expanded, and the God Lord was sent flying before he could even make a move.
"He can't do it, but I can." A cold and emotionless voice sounded. Muhua's eyes suddenly opened wide. He saw a figure in white with a golden belt appear in front of him.
Chongming shouted at the God Lord, "Bring the colorful stone here."
The God Lord endured the pain and held up the colorful stone.
Chongming made a spell - casting gesture. The colorful stone emitted a gentle light, and there seemed to be a woman's figure smiling faintly inside. Seeing this, the God Lord said absent - mindedly, "Tuyang, is that you?"
Even the cold and detached Chongming was speechless at this moment. At such a critical time, the God Lord still only had Tuyang in his mind?
Tuyang had sacrificed herself to leave a remnant soul just to deal with Muhua. She pretended to be stupid and didn't show up when the God Lord was holding her before, but now she smiled when they were dealing with Muhua. Didn't the God Lord understand her intention?
However, this little bit of speechlessness couldn't distract him from the task of sealing Muhua.
"No—"
Muhua felt the threat of the seal. He was so scared that he shouted and struggled desperately to activate the colorful power, but it was in vain.
Muhua was suppressed under the Purple Pole State, and the Demon Lord was suppressed on an unnamed hill three thousand miles away. The two were far apart but seemed to echo each other. Although they didn't interact, both looked comically miserable.
The smoke gradually faded away. The entrance of the Nether Spirit Sea had disappeared. The people who had been immersed in the Reincarnation Script woke up one by one.
The demons scattered here and there, disappearing without a trace.
The couple rushed to a place. Looking at the staggering and waking up immortals and demons, they showed relieved smiles.
It was widely rumored that in the new battle between gods and demons, the god and the phoenix girl protected the world, leaving everyone unscathed.
However, many people were involved in a strange dream, experiencing a floating life in a big dream.
After the great battle, the couple settled in the Danxue Mountain and spent a peaceful time.
The God Lord disappeared without a trace, and the God of War Chenyu also slipped away quickly.
There was no one in charge of the Heavenly Realm. After discussion, they finally established a situation where twelve immortals co - ruled.
Every month, the twelve immortals would present the things they couldn't solve to the Danxue Mountain, and Chongming would make decisions according to his will.
The demon race was leaderless. They also recommended the Phoenix race to take charge. Yanling followed suit and came to see his sister every month.
One day, when Yanling saw Yaohua, he suddenly flew into a rage. "Chongming, get out here!"
Chongming was discussing matters with the twelve immortals. Hearing this, he was slightly stunned.
The twelve immortals all smiled secretly. "My lord, your brother - in - law's anger came so suddenly. You'd better go and have a look."
After Chongming left, they immediately took out the water mirror and began to enjoy the show with great interest.
They saw that when Yanling saw Chongming, he punched him without hesitation.
Chongming had been living a loving life with Yaohua these days, and he had gradually become more human - like. He let Yanling beat him and didn't fight back much. He just opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.
