"Uncle! Father and mother?"
The nine golden wus all surrounded by a fiery flame of a bright red, with no flesh inside, entirely composed of the essence of fire. This form is extremely unstable, as if it were a cluster of fireballs about to explode.
They have lost all their sense of mind, retaining only an instinct to run aimlessly.
It is this instinct that allows the nine golden wu spirits to release heat unrestrictedly, ultimately destroying the entire vitality of this small world.
One of the golden wu spirits noticed Deng Chanyu and, as if playing around, howled and charged towards her.
With one hand holding the Green Dragon spear, she aimed at the direction from which the golden wu spirit was coming and forcefully pressed down. Without giving the wu spirit a chance to resist, ignoring the scorching flames, after eliminating the impact force, she shifted from pressing to sweeping. It was like playing tennis; with one swing of the spear, she knocked the wu spirit away.
"Isn't it something?" Deng Chanyu wiped away a thin sweat on her forehead. Close contact with the Great Day Golden Flame made her feel as though she couldn't bear the heat.
The trial attack turned out to be quite effective, as this golden wu spirit proved surprisingly weak. It didn't just show no improvement; it was even weaker than the state of their legendary demise at the hands of Houyi.
Deng Chanyu guessed that it should be because they had lost their bodies and the original essence belonging to the golden sunbird. With no replenishment in the small world, after all these years, not only had they not recovered, but they had actually degenerated.
The remaining golden wu spirits all turned their heads towards Deng Chanyu, showing her no goodwill at all. On the contrary, looking at their dead eyes, what they contained was nothing but hatred and rampant fury that wanted to destroy everything.
"Looking at your mother?" The golden wu spirit that was previously knocked away was extremely ruthless, with no fancy moves, and came crashing towards her again.
Deng Chanyu's behind the red light swept, and this golden wu spirit was instantly taken into the red light space. The next breath, she tightened her brow. The fire of the phoenix only has destructive characteristics, burning the sky and boiling the sea all the time. The fire of the golden wu spirit carries a touch of vitality, with energy to create life. Its lifespan is stronger than expected.
"Back to you!" She spat out a stream of red light, the golden wu spirit that was swept into the red light and another golden wu spirit collided straight into each other, like two fireballs. After colliding, there was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere.
The nine golden wu spirits rushed towards her from multiple directions.
Deng Chanyu held the Green Dragon spear in her hand, her figure flashing and moving constantly in the air.
The golden wu spirits' instinct to fight was still intact, and at this moment, they all emitted brilliant golden flames, fiercely burning, trying to burn her to ashes.
She held the Green Dragon spear with both hands, sweeping it out, slicing through the air, creating a wave of heat that was earth-shattering. The red phoenix's ethereal silhouette collided continuously with three golden wu spirits before exhausting its energy.
The spirits quickly gathered together again, but it looked like the three that had been broken were now slightly smaller.
Deng Chanyu was more certain that these golden wu spirits were just imposters, with average combat abilities.
Her figure moved continuously, and the Green Dragon spear danced like a slithering dragon, fighting against nine enemies.
The long spear pierced, picked, chopped, and slashed through one golden wu spirit after another, with an incredible killing aura flowing through their bodies. However, the golden wu spirits that she killed would quickly revive. Realizing that these things were difficult to completely kill, she took out the Land and Water Societies Map!
The Feiyixiang Yangguang Lantern is the key to opening the Great Day Golden Flame, currently hanging in the sleeping palace of Taiyi. Xuan Yuan's Zihuqi Flag was being grilled by one of its avatars, and with martial arts alone, she couldn't win. Therefore, she had to use her ultimate move.
The Mountain and River Map of Nuwa is an entire world created by imitating the primordial era, containing suns, moons, stars, various tribes, and its own civilization. In that world, Nuwa is the mother goddess.
Deng Chanyu couldn't let the nine golden wu spirits cause chaos in the small world in front of her, so she used the Mountain and River Map specifically to divide an area in front of her into a simple and straightforward five-element array, like a pocket.
She slightly provoked, raised her finger and shouted "Come over here!"
The golden wu spirits looked like glowing fireballs, charging in mindlessly.
The scattered debris ignited the five-element array, and the magma gushed haphazardly in all directions. Deng Chanyu controlled the Mountain and River Map, extracting a river of water from it.
Water can overcome fire. Perhaps the golden wus were not afraid of rivers with billions of tons of water when they were alive, but they were all dead and trapped in this small world, where their strength had drastically diminished. Under Deng Chanyu's control, the waves were so heavy and endless that they crashed onto the nine golden wu spirits.
Steam spread around, and Deng Chanyu was not affected at all. The waves pounded for three incense sticks of time before leaving only nine dark crows in the array. She changed her hand gesture, turning the waves into water streams from all sides that surrounded the golden wu spirits, then tightened them.
The golden wu spirits struggled wildly, and Deng Chanyu continuously strengthened her magical control, activating the five-element array's function of extinguishing fire with water, repeatedly pouring water. They held each other in a stalemate for half an hour before the golden wu spirits, as rootless wood and waterless, helplessly surrendered.
"Huh, it wasn't easy." Deng Chanyu looked at the nine glowing fireballs and felt a bit of difficulty for a moment.
Will this be a Nine Wu Shenhuo shield for Nezha?
She was hesitant.
The golden wu and Nuwa have some kind of kinship, doing it too extreme will not be good for Nuwa's face.
In addition, the ten golden wus rampaged in the primordial era and committed grievous sins. Later, they were killed one by one by Houyi with an arrow. This act must have been a plan by a sage, and now if she completely eliminates the essence of these nine golden wus, it would be like helping that sage shoulder the burden of responsibility. How complicated are the cause and effect?
The most critical point is that the dragon race is weak. They might as well refine nine dragons, but the golden wus still have one remaining—Prince Lu Ya.
Lu Ya participated in the Battle of Divine Beings and gained some fame, but after that, he went to the Western Paradise to serve as his Da Jiyao Buddha, seemingly with mediocre achievements.
In reality, Lu Ya's strength is extremely strong.
He didn't need to send someone to die for it; he broke through the fierce fire formation in the Ten Absolute Arrays solely with his own formidable strength.
Facing Yunxiao's Yellow River Array, he managed to break out on his own. Against Kong Yan's Five-Colored Divine Light, he also managed to escape smoothly.
Such a formidable figure, using the residual essence of his brother to refine treasure, Deng Chanyu is indeed a bit worried.
"Ah well, you're lucky, I'll give you all a lesson then."
She had witnessed the scene of Di Zang liberating Eshroulo, and that was truly an all-inclusive event. No matter who you were or what you had done in the past, you could be redeemed.
In the Taoist tradition, there's also the concept of "establishing a hall to convert people," which means that there are high standards for converting others. The most basic requirement is to be "innately good." If you can't even meet this, then you might as well return from where you came.
The nine golden wu spirits destroyed the vitality of a small world and have long since deviated from the "innately good."
They are already beyond the tolerance of the Dao, and their numbers are small, so there's no need to make a great vow. Deng Chanyu can only borrow from the Buddhist doctrines of the Western Paradise.
"From the past, all the evil deeds I have created, all due to the endless greed, anger, and ignorance, from actions, words, and thoughts, all of which I now repent." She copied the opening line from Di Zang, followed by scriptures from the Taoist tradition.
"Qingyou Yuanyu Shenwu Jiang, Youtu Yinying Zhao Guixiang. Jingjie Qingling Tong Shangjiang, Shenfu Daojia Dong Changhuang. Xuanjin Yumei Qing Shengshui, Xinyaoxia Bu Daofang. Tong Shengyu Huan Huangling, Laiwang Shijie Yuxiangma."
