Jizo attacked Mingwang.
"Kill."
The dark Mingwang suppressed downwards.
"Scram."
Mingwang was immensely powerful.
With a single punch, the heavens and earth were rent asunder.
The punch, traversing the Ming Dao, shattered the Hell Mingwang on the spot.
Simultaneously, ten thousand cuts descended, enveloping Jizo.
*Puff.*
Flesh and blood flew.
Jizo's body was sliced into countless fragments by the scars of the Great Dao.
Then, Ming Yan burned, attempting to incinerate Jizo's life into nothingness.
"Swallow."
Old Devil Chu made his move.
A Taotie maw, spanning heaven and earth, swallowed all the flames in a single gulp.
The next moment...
With a *bang*, the Taotie's maw exploded.
"Heh heh."
Old Devil Chu arrived with defiant arrogance: "Dragon Devil..."
A black dragon materialized, its tail sweeping down like a mountain range.
*Boom.*
Mingwang's figure was sent flying backward.
He retreated for tens of millions of meters before stopping.
A sinister voice resounded: "You want to save him?"
"Can't I?" Old Devil Chu retorted.
"Heh heh."
Mingwang sneered, "Sympathizing with each other? Ridiculous... Since that's the case, the two of you shall die together."
"Rise."
*Rumble.*
The scars of the Great Dao crisscrossed, forming a net of Dao that descended.
Within the Dao net, everything shattered.
"Kill."
Old Devil Chu was boundless in his arrogance.
He transformed into the Dragon Devil, soaring within the Dao net, continuously tearing it apart.
For every large section he tore, more Dao marks would emerge.
"Slay you."
Jizo, his body restored, also attacked.
Another dark, colossal Buddha appeared, suppressing heaven and earth like a Tathagata.
*Rumble.*
The clash of the three individuals shook the very foundations of existence.
The entire chaos was overturned.
Who could have imagined the situation would turn so drastically, with Old Devil Chu and Jizo joining forces... to attack Mingwang.
...
On the other side.
Chen Fan's confrontation with the Lord of Light was equally spectacular.
"Suppress."
The Lord of Light wielded the Seal of Light.
With a single press, the heavens were fixed.
Beneath the seal, even time seemed to halt.
A torrent of spiritual energy surged forth, forming a colossal beast to suppress Chen Fan.
*Clang!*
The Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi was drawn.
A single sword strike severed the cosmic river, shattering the spiritual beast.
However, the Dao space suppressed by the seal proved difficult to resist.
*Rumble.*
The Great Dao descended, pinning Chen Fan beneath it.
"Refine."
The Lord of Light formed hand seals.
"Hmph."
Instantly, a cold snort echoed.
The sound shook heaven and earth as a fearless divine light bloomed beneath the seal.
"Open."
The resonance of the Great Dao exploded.
Beneath the seal, all the Daos Chen Fan knew manifested.
Yin-Yang, Life-Death, Light-Darkness, Thunder-Water... eight Daos merged.
*Boom.*
A colossal force spread out, lifting the World Seal.
"Roar."
From below, Chen Fan roared.
A giant, a hundred zhang tall, towered towards the heavens.
Lines of Dao laws intertwined with his flesh, like battle markings, imbuing him with boundless power.
*Hum.*
The Lord of Light's hands moved rapidly, forming seals and channeling Dao energy into the World Seal.
The two began a struggle of strength.
Neither would yield an inch.
*Rumble.*
Only the resonance of the Great Dao continuously vibrated through heaven and earth.
"Ch."
At this moment, something unexpected occurred.
The Great Emperor Wan Hua, who had been observing from the fringes of the battlefield, suddenly intervened.
A horsetail whisk, carrying an immense, sharp Dao aura, swept towards the Lord of Light.
"You dare."
"You dare."
Suddenly, Chen Fan and the Lord of Light roared in unison.
In their eyes, boundless killing intent erupted.
At such a critical juncture, an ambush.
*Boom.*
Due to Wan Hua's intervention, the Lord of Light was forced to divide his attention.
Wan Hua was powerful. The seemingly delicate horsetail whisk descended like a world, pressing down on the Lord of Light's body, causing it to tremble. For a moment, he even struggled to maintain his grip on the Seal of Light.
"Wan Hua, you court death." The Lord of Light's eyes blazed with killing intent.
*Bang.*
The Seal of Light was directly flung away by Chen Fan.
Boundless killing intent descended upon Wan Hua; "You court death, kill..."
No one could have predicted that Chen Fan would attack Great Emperor Wan Hua at this moment.
"Heaven Splitting."
A sword strike cleaved the heavens, intercepting and striking Wan Hua's horsetail whisk.
*Bang...*
The horsetail whisk was directly severed by the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.
"You..."
Great Emperor Wan Hua's pupils contracted: "City Lord Chen, what are you doing?"
"Killing you."
A sword lotus hovered in the heavens.
Then, it descended mercilessly.
*Ch ch ch!*
Sword light bloomed in clusters, striking Great Emperor Wan Hua.
Under duress, Wan Hua could only resist.
At the same time, the Lord of Light also attacked.
"Fist of Light."
The Lord of Light wasted no words, unleashing his strongest attack directly.
*Rumble.*
This realm was immediately filled with countless fist shadows.
The dense fist shadows, combined with boundless sword intent, enveloped Great Emperor Wan Hua.
"Ah..."
Great Emperor Wan Hua cried out in agony.
His body was continuously shattering.
An immensely vast Great Dao materialized, resisting their combined attacks.
But soon, the Great Dao began to collapse.
The attacks of the two were peerless.
*Rumble.*
The Great Dao roared incessantly.
After a full three minutes, the fist shadows and sword intent finally disappeared.
*Whoosh.*
In the distance, a battered and bruised Great Emperor Wan Hua appeared.
"Ugh."
As soon as he appeared, he spewed a mouthful of blood.
Dao energy continuously leaked away.
At this moment, Great Emperor Wan Hua had lost all his former ethereal grace, appearing utterly pathetic.
Behind him, a weakened Dao Spirit burrowed into his body.
"That was close."
Great Emperor Wan Hua exhaled a long breath.
It was the Dao Spirit that had saved him at the critical moment.
Without the Dao Spirit, he might have been directly killed by the two during those few minutes.
...
In the distance, all the observers were stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Weren't the two of them fighting to the death just now, and now they've joined forces?"
"..."
Discussions erupted.
What had happened?
Had the Lord of Light reconciled with Chen Fan?
Could that possibly happen?
For a moment, everyone was bewildered, waiting to see what would happen next. This battle was truly interesting.
"Chen Fan..."
Great Emperor Wan Hua looked at him with immense resentment: "You... why? I was helping you."
He didn't understand.
Why?
I was clearly helping you fight your enemy, and you attacked me?
Why?
However, in response to Wan Hua's questioning, Chen Fan's eyes still blazed with killing intent: "Who do you think you are? What are you, to dare interfere with this City Lord's battle?"
Chen Fan's words provided his answer.
His cold voice carried boundless killing intent.
Wan Hua: "???"
"You... what do you mean?"
He was even more bewildered: "You mean... I helped you incorrectly?"
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan sneered, "Stay out of the way. If you dare interfere again, this City Lord will strike you down first."
With that, his gaze fell upon the Lord of Light.
The upward curve of his lips once again brimmed with intense fighting spirit: "Come, let's continue."
The Lord of Light: "..."
He looked at Chen Fan, also somewhat perplexed for a moment.
"Why?" he subconsciously asked.
Someone was helping you, and you didn't want it?
The Lord of Light voiced the question in his heart.
