Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

Duobao flew wildly forward, with Jieyin and Zhunti in hot pursuit behind him.

Their eyes revealed a resolute determination to achieve their goal, and they rolled towards Duobao, leaving cracks in the ground wherever they passed.

Just as Duobao felt that the Grim Reaper's scythe was already at his neck, Laozi's figure, like a pillar of heaven and earth, appeared in front of Jieyin and Zhunti.

In an instant, the yin and yang energies emanated from his body and transformed into two black and white dragons with bared fangs and claws, swirling around Laozi.

"Fellow Daoists, this is my Eastern land. It is not your place to act recklessly here!"

The black and white dragons crashed towards Jieyin and Zhunti.

Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed drastically; they could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in this strike, enough to tear the soul apart.

A roar of dread filled Jieyin's heart, "This old bastard, he unleashed such a deadly move right from the start! We mustn't be careless!"

Zhunti's forehead veins bulged, and the two hastily poured all their magical power into the Seven Treasures Tree in preparation for defense.

With a deafening roar, like the first explosion of the universe, the powerful impact sent Jieyin and Zhunti flying like two fragile leaves. The Seven Treasures Tree couldn't withstand it at all.

The two bodies were sent flying backward through the air, and the surrounding air was shaken by the force, forming visible shockwaves that spread wildly in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Duobao's eyes flashed with wild joy. He desperately squeezed every bit of strength out of his body and accelerated forward once again.

After Jieyin and Zhunti steadied themselves, they looked at Laozi's unmoving figure and felt extremely apprehensive.

Jieyin frowned, his brows furrowed like two sharp blades, and whispered to Zhunti, "Junior brother, this guy has interfered, and we're no match for him. What should we do?"

"Senior brother, stop him first. Our top priority is to capture Duobao!"

"Hmm? Junior brother, do you think I have that ability?"

Just as the two were discussing countermeasures in hushed tones, a chaotic sword aura swept in.

Lao Tzu immediately activated the Yin-Yang principle, rapidly forming hand seals to create a shield with a Yin-Yang fish pattern in front of him.

The shield spun, emitting a black and white light, colliding with the chaotic sword energy.

At the same time, Yuanshi, holding the Pangu Banner, swung it down at Laozi's head.

His eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent, like sharp swords. The two were locked in combat as they flew towards the chaos.

When Jieyin and Zhunti saw that Laozi had been led away by Yuanshi, they exchanged a glance and then chased after Duobao again.

As Jieyin and Zhunti rapidly pursued, the distance between them grew closer and closer. Just as the two were about to catch up with Duobao, the red embroidered ball suddenly hurled itself at Jieyin and Zhunti.

Jieyin and Zhunti were startled and immediately stopped, channeling their full magical power to form a golden light barrier in front of them for defense.

The two men were on high alert, their eyes flashing with cold light as they looked around, trying to find the person who had attacked them.

At this moment, Nuwa gracefully landed in front of Jieyin and Zhunti, her face full of arrogance.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and nodded. Jieyin immediately continued flying forward, while Zhunti was responsible for blocking Nuwa.

Duobao seized the opportunity to look back and saw that the two were being blocked. He scratched his head, then sped off again, muttering, "Two bald monks, hahaha!"

In the palace of the King.

The Shadow Guard appeared in the main hall, knelt on one knee, and loudly reported: "Your Majesty, the Western Religion and Buddhism have already gone to war. Please give your instructions."

Upon hearing this, Di Xin threw his head back and laughed loudly. His laughter echoed like thunder in the hall, causing the candlelight in the hall to tremble slightly.

He abruptly stood up, his royal robes billowing in the wind, and shouted, "Gentlemen, the time has come! Take the two southeastern towns!"

"The king is wise and the merchant has lived for thousands of years!"

"Order: Kong Xuan, the garrison commander of Sanshan Pass, shall lead his troops in a full-scale attack on Nanzhen, and capture Yaoshi and Nanzhen at all costs. Order: King Wucheng, Huang Feihu, shall lead 50,000 troops to Nanzhen immediately to assist General Kong. Do not fail in your orders!"

Upon receiving the order, the Shadow Guards immediately obeyed and flew towards Sanshan Pass and Jizhou City.

Di Xin paused briefly, his eyes becoming even sharper, and gave another order.

"Wen Zhong, E Lai, and Fei Lian, lead 80,000 troops to attack Dongzhen. Wu Dang is in charge of suppressing Yao Shi, and Mei Bo is in charge of the provisions for both armies. Ensure that provisions are sufficient, but do not forcibly requisition provisions from the people. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

The ministers bowed and accepted the decree, all understanding that this expedition was of great significance, concerning the fate of the Shang Dynasty.

Just then, a series of crisp and powerful footsteps sounded. Queen Jiang, dressed in armor, gently placed her left hand on her sword and gripped her halberd tightly in her right hand as she walked into the hall with a heroic air.

With each step she took, she exuded an air of indomitable spirit, and upon reaching the center of the hall, she bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Di Xin nodded slightly, a questioning look in his eyes, "What is it, Queen?"

Queen Jiang raised her head and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I humbly request to accompany Grand Tutor Wen on this expedition!"

Upon hearing this, the court officials erupted in a frenzy, whispering amongst themselves and discussing the matter.

Queen Jiang remained composed and continued, "Your Majesty, although my father, Jiang Huanchu, is a traitor, he is still my father. I cannot allow him to die without knowing why!"

"Very well! Since Your Majesty has such lofty aspirations, how could I refuse? Let the world see that the women of our Great Shang Dynasty can also gallop across the battlefield, defend our homeland, and see who dares to utter such words as 'a hen crowing at dawn'!"

Upon hearing this, the court officials, seeing that Emperor Xin's mind was made up, ceased their attempts to dissuade him and bowed in unison, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Di Xin turned his back, waved his right hand behind him, and shouted with boundless pride, "For the Great Shang, for the human race, let us march!"

After he finished speaking, the court officials dispersed to prepare for their respective campaigns, and a tense yet exciting atmosphere filled the entire palace.

A few days later, the two armies marched menacingly toward the two southeastern towns.

In the direction of Dongzhen, both armies were arrayed in formation. The battlefield was deathly silent, with only the military flags fluttering in the wind.

Jiang Wenhuan rode his tall horse, striding arrogantly towards the front, his eyes revealing a sense of arrogance and disdain, as if victory was already in his grasp.

He glanced at the Yin Shang army with disdain, but when his gaze fell on Queen Jiang, his eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

Jiang Wenhuan's mouth gaped open, and he stammered, "Sister...you...why are you here?"

Looking at Jiang Wenhuan's spineless appearance, Queen Jiang frowned, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, and she scolded him loudly.

"Little brother, you're still so spineless! Humph, today I'll show you what a real battlefield is!"

Having said that, Queen Jiang pretended to charge forward. She squeezed her legs against the flanks of her horse and raised her halberd high in the sunlight, the halberd gleaming coldly.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wenhuan was startled and instinctively took a few steps back. His face turned pale and then red, and he was somewhat flustered. However, in order to save face, he shouted in a fierce but weak voice, "Soldiers, charge!"

Wen Zhong, wielding twin maces and riding a black jade unicorn, stood before the army formation. Suddenly, he raised his maces high, swung them towards the sky, and shouted, "Warriors of Yin Shang, for the sake of Great Shang, charge!"

The soldiers on both sides immediately engaged in battle, and for a time, the sounds of battle cries, clashing weapons, and hoofbeats mingled together on the battlefield.

Just then, Maitreya suddenly appeared on the battlefield, holding a wind pouch and grinning sinisterly. He was about to unleash the wind pouch, preparing to suck the Shang army into it.

At this critical moment, Wudang appeared calmly before Maitreya.

Maitreya was somewhat surprised upon seeing this, but he quickly regained his composure, a disdainful smile appearing on his lips.

He immediately summoned the Wind Bag, and its powerful suction swept towards Wudang like a hungry beast.

The suction force drew in the surrounding air, forming a huge black vortex from which howls emanated, like the roar of a demon.

Wudang, however, held his head high, unhurried and completely disregarding Maitreya's wind bag.

Seeing Wudang's calm demeanor, Maitreya became somewhat annoyed and increased his magical output, making the suction of the Wind Bag even stronger.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force pulled Wu Dang directly into the wind pocket.
