Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 102 Nezha Makes the List, Jie Sect Gains the Upper Hand

As the second and third generation disciples of the two sects gathered under the city of Xiqi, the two sides fought each other every day. In addition to the three sects, many other rogue cultivators also failed to see the situation clearly and were tricked into this chaotic situation by the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and Shen Gongbao, the national teacher of the Yin Shang Dynasty.

Compared to the masters of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect, these rogue cultivators lacked powerful supernatural abilities for protection and top-tier spiritual treasures. Many of them became scapegoats, and were utterly defeated by the cultivators of the two sects.

Once most of the people had died, Huanglong Zhenren of the Chan Sect unleashed his power once more, single-handedly fighting the four saints of "Nine Dragons Island." Although these four had exaggerated titles, they were merely outer disciples of the Jie Sect, and their cultivation was only at the Golden Immortal realm. They were no match for Huanglong Zhenren. In just a few dozen rounds, they were all sent to the Investiture of the Gods.

The battle in Xiqi was going badly, and Huang Feihu and Shen Gongbao were both very worried.

Having received a warning from Chaos Daojun, Shen Gongbao naturally dared not invite top experts from the Jie Sect to come out of seclusion.

Having no other option, Huang Feihu sent another memorial to Chaoge, requesting Grand Tutor Wen Zhong to find a solution.

"Alas! It's pitiful that our four fellow Daoists were killed by the Yellow Dragon Immortal!"

Upon seeing the battle report, Wen Zhong felt remorse and then gritted his teeth at Xiqi and Chan Sect. After thinking for a moment, he muttered to himself, "To deal with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, we still need to find a Grand Luo Golden Immortal-level expert to come out of seclusion. It seems I need to ask my teacher to arrange for some of my uncles to come and help."

Thinking of this, Wen Zhong suddenly thought of his Uncle Chaos. If only the old man had stepped forward, he could have easily swept through the entire Chan Sect. However, during the last battle in the North Sea, the old man was ambushed by the leader of the Western Sect and was seriously injured, so he could not come to help. What a pity! What a pity!

After changing into a Taoist robe, Wen Zhong mounted the black Qilin and left Chaoge directly for Jin'ao Island.

Upon meeting the Holy Mother Jinling, he recounted the recent difficulties, especially the deaths of the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island and many other Jiejiao immortals, who were listed on the Investiture of the Gods. The Holy Mother Jinling was furious upon hearing this.

"Very well! Since the Chan Sect has no regard for the friendship of the Xuanmen, then let's have a showdown!" The Golden Spirit Mother looked at Wen Zhong and instructed, "You go to Xiqi personally to oversee the construction of the reed hut. I will invite people later and go to stand up for you."

"Yes! This disciple will take his leave now!"

Wen Zhong was overjoyed to receive his teacher's promise. The Golden Spirit Mother was a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal. With such a true disciple protected by top-notch innate spiritual treasures, even the fiercest Huanglong Zhenren would not be a match for his teacher!

Wen Zhong happily rode the black Qilin back to Chaoge, completely unaware that this was also what the Chan Sect hoped for.

A month later, Wen Zhong also personally came to Xiqi and became the new commander of the Yin Shang army, with Huang Feihu as the deputy marshal, to assist Wen Zhong in reorganizing the army.

With Wen Zhong in charge, the army quickly recovered from its low spirits and began building reed huts nearby.

This change was quickly noticed by Jiang Ziya. The construction of the reed hut was naturally intended for a great figure in the immortal path, indicating that a true great figure from the Jie Sect was about to make his appearance.

"Junior Brother Ziya, it seems that the Jie Sect has come with ill intentions. Good intentions don't come. You should still go to the Jade Void Palace and ask some senior brothers to come and help."

In the Prime Minister's residence, Huanglong Zhenren felt that a great calamity was about to befall him, and he was filled with anxiety. In the end, he disregarded his own reputation and asked Jiang Ziya to return to the mountain to seek help.

"Uncle-Master Huanglong, recently we've been defeating those second and third generation disciples of the Jie Sect, making them flee in terror. The Jie Sect doesn't have any particularly powerful figures left. We kill them one by one. Is there any need to ask for reinforcements?"

Nezha said with a disdainful look, "Ever since I cut off my bones and flesh to repay my parents' kindness, with the help of Taiyi Zhenren, I have refined a lotus incarnation from Yuanshi Tianzun. Now my strength has advanced even further, reaching the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal."

His cultivation level was comparable to that of a second-generation disciple of the Jie Sect. As a result, many weaker Jie Sect immortals died at the hands of this evil star.

"Nezha, we must not underestimate our opponents! Although most of the members of the Jie Sect are creatures with fur and horns, and are born from eggs, there are still many experts among them. Even my uncle is no match for them."

Looking at this brat, Master Huanglong shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that explaining anything to him would be pointless.

"Senior Brother Huanglong, let's set off now!"

Jiang Ziya wasn't Nezha, so he naturally understood the seriousness of a Grand Immortal seeking help.

Just as Jiang Ziya rode the "Four-Unlikes" away from Xiqi City to seek help at Kunlun Mountain, the Shang army camp also welcomed this batch of reinforcements from the Jie Sect.

"Nephew Wen Zhong, we, the Seven Immortals, have come to assist you on the orders of Senior Sister Jin Ling!"

Outside the back gate of the Shang army camp, on a reed awning, the seven Great Golden Immortals of Wuyun Xian looked at the group of experts from Yin Shang who came out to greet them and laughed loudly.

"My fellow disciples, you've arrived. This time, we can finally vent our anger at being humiliated by the Chan Sect!" Wen Zhong and his group stepped forward to pay their respects, and Wen Zhong said with emotion at the end.

"Haha! This incompetent Huanglong, with his cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, bullies my Jie Sect disciples. Now that we're here, let's see how arrogant he can be!" Qiu Shou Xian sneered, already sentencing Huanglong Zhenren to death in his heart.

"I am deeply grateful for your presence." Wen Zhong then looked at the ten figures behind the Seven Immortals, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Uncle-Master Qin, you've come too?"

"We met our seven senior brothers on the island. The ten of us had just finished practicing the Ten Deadly Formations and learned about the situation in Xiqi, so we came here to help." Qin Wan laughed heartily.

"Indeed, I've heard that the Chan Sect disregards all ties with the Xuanmen, while our Ten Deadly Formations are already perfectly mastered. We'll make sure those Chan Sect members never return!"

"Uncle-Master Qin, are you saying that your group of ten has completed the rehearsal of the Ten Deadly Formations?"

Even Wen Zhong was shocked. These ten senior uncles were not highly cultivated, only reaching the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. However, the entire Jie Sect admired them greatly for their expertise in formations. They had devoted their lives to practicing the Ten Absolute Formations, and now they had actually succeeded.

"Hahaha! Everyone, rest assured, we have thoroughly mastered the Ten Deadly Formations. Even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal entering the formation would not return alive!"

Qin Wan, representing the Ten Heavenly Lords, spoke with great confidence.

The ten of them weren't fools; without the necessary skills, how could they dare to take on a job they weren't qualified for?

After discussing it, the ten people decided to take advantage of the immortal tribulation to show the entire prehistoric world the power of their "Ten Deadly Formations"!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach the Seven Immortals and request to come to Xiqi to help.

"Wen Zhong, don't worry. I personally went through those Ten Deadly Formations and only tried one of them. If I weren't thick-skinned, I probably would have been trapped in it."

Lingya Xian laughed heartily and spoke, his expression showing a hint of lingering fear, clearly indicating that going into battle was not as simple as he had made it out to be.

"Senior Brother Lingya is joking."

Qin Wan, Zhao Jiang, Dong Quan, Yuan Jiao, Jin Guang Shengmu, and the other three chuckled. Although it was a humble remark, the confidence on their faces was undisguised.

The reason why Lingya Xian was able to participate in the battle was because Zhao Jiang held back; otherwise, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to refine and kill a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!

The arrival of the Seven Immortals and Ten Heavenly Kings greatly boosted the confidence of Wen Zhong, Yuan Hong, and others. That day, they showed no intention of resting and immediately mobilized their army to challenge Xiqi.

Under the threat of Wen Zhong and others that if the Chan Sect did not come out to fight, they would use their supernatural powers to smash the city of Xiqi and kill all the rebels, Huanglong Zhenren secretly groaned. He could only lead Yang Jian, Jinzha, Muzha, Nezha, Tuxingsun, and a group of scattered immortals and Xiqi generals out of the city and set up a battle formation to confront the Yin Shang army.

"Huanglong! Aren't you the most skilled at fighting Taiyi Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals with your Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation? Today, I'll test my skills against you and see what you're capable of!"

Seeing Huanglong Zhenren lead his troops out of the city, Lingya Xian immediately spoke up in a sarcastic tone.

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the group of Jiejiao immortals, Yin Shang generals, and soldiers behind Lingya Immortal burst into laughter, making Huanglong Zhenren's face turn black.

"Very well, Spirit Tooth Immortal! This humble Taoist will have your turn!"

Even though Huanglong Zhenren knew that seven Daluo Jinxian from the Jie Sect had arrived, he believed in the principle of not hitting someone in the face. Lingya Xian's words angered him so much that his face turned black, making him a laughing stock between the two armies. He had no choice but to take action.

"Boom!"

Two Great Luo Golden Immortals flew up to the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, as only there could the impact on the two armies below be reduced. In a short while, the sound of wind and thunder rolled in from the Nine Heavens.

Every now and then, beams of light from supernatural powers and magical treasures pierced through the thick clouds and struck down from the heavens.

If it weren't for the presence of numerous experts from the two sects below, the aftershocks, resembling a meteor shower, would have already killed countless people, and even shattered the city of Xiqi.

The battles above the nine heavens are only visible to a few Great Luo Golden Immortals and a handful of Taiyi Golden Immortals; no one else can see how the battle is unfolding.

"Anyone who's not afraid of death, come up and fight your young master!"

Bored while waiting in front of the battle lines, Nezha roared and rode his Wind Fire Wheels to the front of the two armies.

"You brat from the Chan Sect, I, Yu Hua, have come to learn from you!"

Yu Hua, standing to the side, urged the Fiery-Eyed Beast, wielding the "Blood-Transforming Divine Blade," and charged towards Nezha.

Meanwhile, Mu Zha also stepped forward to challenge them, and Jin Dasheng charged out to meet Mu Zha in battle.

"Yang Jian, come out here and get yourself beaten!"

With his own brothers making their move, Yuan Hong held up his "Star Staff" and challenged Yang Jian to a duel.

"Yuan Hong, you discovered my attempt to scout the camp last time. Today is the perfect opportunity for another duel to settle the score!"

Yang Jian led his Howling Celestial Dog out of the formation and fought with Yuan Hong.

Instantly, the sounds of metal clashing against metal filled the air between the two armies, the clash of weapons forming a continuous line. In the middle of the battlefield, only figures could be seen constantly shifting and dodging, leaving the soldiers of both armies stunned.

"Not bad! Junior Nephew Yuan Hong has quite the skills! And Yang Jian is no slouch either."

The six Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Jie Sect, mindful of their status, refrained from personally eliminating the members of the Chan Sect, thus giving the Chan Sect an opportunity to exploit the situation.

As for the other members of the Jie Sect, their battles with the Chan Sect were nothing more than child's play in the eyes of the six Great Luo Golden Immortals. As experts themselves, and given the Jie Sect's superior position, they naturally wouldn't intervene.

At this moment, the battle was in full swing. Nezha got carried away and displayed his supernatural powers of having three heads and six arms. He used a number of magical treasures such as the "Golden Brick", "Yin Yang Twin Swords", and "Universe Ring". Even though Yu Hua was a generation older, he was still overwhelmed by Nezha and was frequently hit hard, even spitting out blood.

"Three heads and six arms? Uncle Yu Hua, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing that Yu Hua was at a disadvantage in the battle with Nezha, Huang Tianhua roared and raised his hand to unleash a beam of dark light, which was his "Heart-Piercing Nail".

A dark light flashed, and the "Heart-Piercing Nail" struck Nezha's forehead, shattering his skull and breaking his three-headed, six-armed supernatural power.

"Huang Tianhua, you traitor, you're asking for death!"

Nezha's ferocity was unleashed by Huang Tianhua's attack. He cried out in pain and hurled the "Universe Ring" at Huang Tianhua.

"How dare you be so arrogant, youngster!"

Nezha was distracted, and Yu Hua seized the opportunity. With a loud shout, he swung the "Blood Transformation Divine Blade," cleaving Nezha in two, and a wisp of his soul entered the Investiture of the Gods.

"Third brother!"

Upon seeing this, Jin Zha let out a mournful roar and charged out of the formation towards Yu Hua and Huang Tianhua.

"Third brother!"

Mu Zha also saw Nezha's death. In a fit of rage, he beheaded Jin Dasheng with a single sword strike and then moved towards Jin Zha. However, before he could get there, the other five saints of Meishan saw their brother die tragically and rushed forward, surrounding Mu Zha.

"Howling Celestial Dog!"

Seeing the precarious situation and knowing that Yuan Hong was extremely difficult to deal with, Yang Jian suddenly lowered his body and shouted.

Just as Yuan Hong was filled with surprise and doubt, a dark shadow shot out from above Yang Jian's head like lightning and bit towards Yuan Hong's shoulder!

"You damn dog, I'll let you bite me!"

Despite his shock, Yuan Hong remained calm, his body shimmering with jade-like light as he pushed the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to its limit.

With a crisp "crack," the Howling Celestial Dog immediately bled from the corner of its mouth, whimpered, and scurried back with its tail between its legs.

However, the greyhound couldn't bite through Yuan Hong's skin, and instead, due to its carelessness, Yuan Hong shattered several of its canine teeth.

"Haha! Yang Jian, you think you can defeat me with a sneak attack by some beast?"

Yuan Hong grinned and cursed as he watched the Howling Celestial Dog flee with its tail between its legs.

Seeing that Xiaotianquan was injured, Yang Jian lost the will to continue fighting Yuan Hong. He feinted with his sword, forcing Yuan Hong back, and then jumped out of the battle circle and fled to the outer perimeter.

"Yang Jian, where do you think you're going!"

Yuan Hong's figure blurred, transforming into a giant roc. With a sharp cry, he chased after Yang Jian.

"Change!"

Seeing that he could not escape, Yang Jian lowered his body and transformed into a pangolin. He simply dug a hole in the ground and burrowed inside.

In the Yin Shang army, Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu exchanged a smile, revealing a hint of amusement. They now held a decisive advantage. The two nodded to each other, and Wen Zhong shouted, "All troops, attack!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the earth shook and mountains trembled as a million-strong army charged toward the Xiqi army, preparing to seize this opportune moment to annihilate the Xiqi troops in front of them and breach the city of Xiqi.

"Kill them!"

"kill!"

The two armies transformed into two torrents, merging together. Every moment, countless lives were lost, with corpses piling up like mountains and blood flowing like rivers.
