Suddenly, the Hongmeng world was shrouded in changeable clouds and winds. The boundless spiritual energy was stirred by the Liangtian Scale, forming one after another vortex. At the center of each vortex was the most essential part of Hongmeng's spiritual energy, which was now cleverly infused into the primordial world by Deng Chan Yu.
For the second time, the Liangtian Scale struck the sky. The two golden characters "Liangtian" shone brilliantly as divine words, and they could be seen from any angle of this world.
The two great Bodhisattvas, Wenshu and Puxian, did not turn their heads even once. They returned to the Primordial World at the first opportunity. Huanglong and Jiang Zitia, along with a group of Xuanjiao immortals, retreated accordingly.
Qiongqi looked left and then right, originally intending to maintain the aura of the four fearsome beasts of the Primordial Chaos who dare not die. However, the warning in his heart was extremely strong. If he stayed in the Hongmeng World and watched over the refinements of earth, fire, water, and wind, there was a possibility that he might really die. And if he did die this time, his chance of revival would be extremely low.
It followed its heart, eagerly charging into the back alley of the crossroads and returning to the Primordial Chaos. As it looked, Deng Chan Yu did not follow, and it was overjoyed. Its four legs flew, and its two wings flapped, eager to run as fast as possible and as far away as possible.
Oddly shaped and exuding an aura of evil, several monsters trailed behind, hoping to join them in the Primordial Chaos.
Deng Chan Yu saw this scene and was about to extend her hand to close the passage, but was stopped by Shangqing.
Shangqing shook his head decisively this time, indicating that a ray of life should be left for the beings in the Hongmeng World.
After pondering for a while, Deng Chan Yu decided to let it go. A glimmer of life? Yes! Those dark and eerie monsters also wandered in the East Sea, so let your disciples enjoy this vitality to the fullest.
More monsters rushed towards her, intending to completely tear apart the principal offender. However, after entering a range of one hundred zhang, they were automatically turned into shreds by the Hongmeng Xuanhuang Qi that emanated from the Liangtian Scale.
A mighty "boom" sounded as the official refinement of earth, fire, water, and wind commenced.
Concealed in the background, Yuan Shih T'ien's demon was abnormally angry. The gray mist that enveloped over one-third of the world gradually took shape, accompanied by numerous spider-like demons.
The monsters had formed a strict hierarchical system of ranks, resembling a society. There were soldiers, royal families, and a multitude of creatures with combat power comparable to celestial immortals and true immortals. These beings were completely blind, with no hair on their bodies.
Numerous large and small spider demons were running crazily.
Deng Chan Yu flicked her finger, and a fire spark, as small as a fingernail cover, fell to the ground. It instantly formed a sea of fire over ten thousand li in length.
The spider demons fell one after another, yet without exception, all perished in the fiery sea.
Deng Chan Yu merely looked at it for a moment before shifting his gaze.
Monsters were just an appetizer. Yuan Shih T'ien's real killer move was about to unfold.
The temperature across the world plummeted dramatically, with icebergs rising from the ground one after another. The originally dim world was now covered in silver, beautiful indeed, but also sufficiently deadly. The frost spreading from all directions tried to extinguish Deng Chan Yu's Nanming Lie fire and obstruct this refiner process.
The three Treasures stood by and did not interfere, as Deng Chan Yu did not need their assistance at this stage.
A trace of purple appeared in her eyes, and her right hand drew shapes in the air. She wrote nine "fire" characters with different shapes. The next moment, Nanming Lie fire burst into an explosion. Originally, the Phoenix race's divination was famous for its fierce and savage nature. At this time, it seemed like adding oil to fire, and the virtual phoenix image almost completely solidified. With a clear cry from the virtual image, a sea of fire that could destroy everything burned through the sky and melted the earth.
She rained down a storm in the Hongmeng World—a rain composed of flames.
"clang clang clang" A melodious bell rang, Yuan Shih T'ien tried to collect more power from the deepest part of the Hongmeng World, but the Chaos Bell hindered it. Space, time, water, and wind were all suppressed at this moment. The only things that could move freely were the flames that devoured everything.
The apocalyptic aura of Nanming Lie fire made Shangqing extremely excited, and a surge of eager anticipation was almost irresistible.
Taiqing remained calm and collected, while Jadeqing and Shangqing saw the unique dominance of Nanming Lie fire and the powerful Chaos Bell. Taiqing, on the other hand, saw the abundant vitality contained within the flames. After giving it some serious thought, he concluded that this object did not conform to his own path, but could still serve as a reference or a source of inspiration.
"Let me lend you a hand!" Seeing Deng Chan Yu's face pale and her right hand holding the Liangtian Scale trembling slightly, Shangqing decisively made a move.
He pointed out the position of five stars in the east with his long sword, and a hurricane seemingly tiny but actually several times larger appeared suddenly with each passing moment.
It was a wind known alongside the Sunlight Golden Flame, Impure Yuan Soil, and Primordial Ice of Infinity. It was the Wuxu Beifeng, a wind stripped from chaos.
This wind was indestructible and capable of defeating all things. As it swept along, countless demons were engulfed by it, becoming nourishment for the Wuxu Beifeng.
Deng Chan Yu's fire was domineering, while Shangqing's storm was ruthless.
Feeling it was a stage to showcase their abilities, Jadeqing incanted spells with hand seals. The spiritual energy in the Hongmeng World that had been roaring and trying to drive out the flames and storm was suddenly snatched away by half, as Jadeqing flipped his palm and immediately turned the energy into overwhelming floodwaters.
The storm in the clouds deciphered everything, the fire in the sky consumed everything, and the boundless floodwaters cleansed the Hongmeng World again and again.
Fire, water, and wind all took their respective positions. Taiqing smiled slightly and expanded the Qingyun on his head. The celestial jade tower of Xuanhuang became tens of thousands of zhang in height, and the golden thunder bolts it emitted enveloped the Hongmeng World.
After being subjected to the triple trials of the fiery sea, the storm, and the floodwater, all the monsters originally belonging to the Hongmeng World, whether they were demons or mortals, died at this moment. The divine thunderbolts even erased the last traces of their existence.
The Hongmeng World seemed to have realized its own doom, without any resistance, allowing Taiqing to turn the entire land with his immense powers.
Previously, the sky was beneath the feet and the earth above the head. At this moment, both the sky and the earth were underfoot. The thick soil on top of the head became a blank space like being erased by rubber, and ten breaths later, a heart-stirring Chaos torrent surged into the Hongmeng World.
The Hongmeng World is no longer a matter of opening a skylight; it's like having the roof torn off.
Deng Chan Yu, Taiqing, Jadeqing, and Shangqing completely ignored the abnormal phenomena of the sky and earth. They each raised their right hand, and the divine characters began to gather in their palm automatically.
In Deng Chan Yu's palm was the character "fire".
In Shangqing's palm was the character "wind".
In Taiqing's palm was the character "earth".
But when it was Jadeqing's turn, an unexpected change occurred.
When he revealed the divine character in his palm, he noticed that both Taiqing and Shangqing were staring at him.
What's going on? He quickly turned his palm over and found that it was also a "fire" character.
Deng Chan Yu was very puzzled. This wasn't like the burning of Red Cliff, and there was no need to mimic Zhou Dudu and Zhuge Liang writing a "fire" character scene!
Jadeqing furrowed his brow, quickly realizing the key issue. "That celestial demon seems to be influencing me," he said.
