When Lord Jiuxiao of the Nine Heavens was being beaten by Black Soul, he greatly regretted coming. The closer he was to his main body, the more the damage affected each other. In this situation, unless they merged, he could not escape the crisis.
“Jiuxiao, has your original clone always been in the Divine Realm? Who would have thought that Lord Jiuxiao of the Divine Realm is you, the Underworld Emperor.” Long San was shocked. Looking at their appearances and temperaments, even their cultivation techniques were the same. Who would have thought they were the same person? He hadn't expected him to have mastered his clan's cultivation technique. Many Nine-Headed Birds had failed at the last step and gone mad.
“Hahaha, isn't my disguise amazing? Who would recognize me besides you? It’s fine, once I kill you, no one will ever know this secret.” Emperor Ming Jiuxiao said arrogantly. He swallowed the wound on his head, his spiritual power suddenly surged, and his previous injuries healed.
The Nine-Headed Bird, having lost one head, lunged at the Divine Dragon. One dragon and one bird, choosing to fight hand-to-hand with their physical bodies. The two divine beasts, comparable to prehistoric giants, tore at each other ferociously. The dragon’s claws dug deep into the Nine-Headed Bird’s flesh, and with a violent tear, blood gushed from the massive wound.
The Nine-Headed Bird let out a piercing cry to the heavens, not to be outdone, and eight heads bit into the dragon’s body.
Ju Xin, Hu Hu, and Hua Xun emerged from the void and were met with such a tragic scene.
“Daddy~~~~” Long Hu Hu’s aura instantly surged. She reverted to her Nine-Tailed Divine Fox form and shot forward like lightning. In her fury, her nine giant tails wrapped around the Nine-Headed Bird and flung it violently. Seeing this, Ju Xin followed suit, her defensive staff transforming into a ten-meter-long rod, which she brought down on the Nine-Headed Bird’s massive body, smashing it to the ground. With a thunderous roar, the entire Underworld shook, creating a large crater in the ground.
The Ghost Kings who had hidden far away gasped. This young lady was fierce! His Majesty was likely doomed this time.
The sisters cooperated perfectly. Ju Xin stood on the Nine-Tailed Fox’s back, coldly observing the figure in the pit. He was truly an old enemy. During the Immortal-Demon War, he had suddenly betrayed them, killing many of her brothers. The Xuanyuan clan suffered the most, almost becoming extinct.
The moment Emperor Ming Jiuxiao saw Hu Hu’s true form, he was stunned.
“Hu Jiu~ It’s you, Hu Jiu, you’re not dead?”
“Nine-Headed Bird, how dare you injure my daddy, I’ll take your life!” The Nine-Tailed Fox bared her teeth at Emperor Ming, her tone fierce. She ignored this deranged person and turned to check on the Divine Dragon’s injuries.
Long San was not the same as he was a million years ago. His current physical body was rebuilt and could not compare to his original form.
Ju Xin placed the transformed Long Shu, who had reverted to his human form, onto Hu Hu’s fox back. Hu Hu knew it wasn’t the time for pleasantries, so she only touched her father’s hand with her tail.
“Hu Hu, Daddy is fine!”
“Daddy? You are Hu Jiu, and she is your daughter?” Emperor Ming, who had been lost in thought, heard the Divine Dragon’s words and looked at Long Hu Hu in disbelief.
“You are that egg from back then?”
“None of your business!” Long Hu Hu retorted irritably.
“My mother was killed by you all, and you still have the nerve to mention her!”
“No, I didn’t. I just wanted to kill Long San, so that Jiu’er would be with me.” Emperor Ming’s expression was pained; he did not want to recall the events of that year. He was simply unwilling. He knew Jiu’er first, so why did Jiu’er have to be with Long San?
“What? You betrayed the divine race for such a ridiculous reason back then, and you harmed countless beings in the Divine Wood Realm. You deserve to die!” Long San, caught off guard by this reason, couldn’t believe it. The dignified ruler of the Underworld, with such a petty and cruel heart?
In the distance, Hua Xun and Black Soul, working together, defeated Lord Jiuxiao of the Nine Heavens. Jiuxiao found his opportunity and, despite his injuries, instantly merged into the Underworld Emperor’s body.
“Quick, stop them from merging!” the Divine Dragon suddenly shouted. But it was too late…
“So that’s how it is, the Jiuxiao of the Divine Realm is a clone of the Underworld Emperor!” Hua Xun and Black Soul also approached, watching the Underworld Emperor and Jiuxiao fuse.
“What?” Ju Xin’s mind raced. During that Immortal-Demon War, why had the demons known her deployment in advance? Why, after she had driven all the demons out of the outer realms, were there still demons who infiltrated? Everything seemed to have an explanation. This was also why those people couldn’t tolerate Hu Hu, perhaps.
“This is a unique cultivation technique of the Nine-Headed Bird clan. Nine heads are equivalent to nine lives, and each clone has an independent personality and consciousness,” the Divine Dragon explained.
“Sister, no wonder the Nine-Headed Bird in the lower realm has the same aura as this stinky bird,” Long Hu Hu recalled the battle at the Taiyi Sect.
“That’s right! However, it descended to the lower realm in its divine beast form, its strength was weakened, and it was ambushed, losing its senses, and was thus suppressed underground,” the Divine Dragon stated, making an excuse. He hadn’t said anything at the time because he hadn’t fully understood the situation and dared not make a hasty conclusion.
“After killing him, hand him over to me?” Black Soul suddenly said. This Nine-Headed Bird’s divine soul was so powerful; it would be a great tonic for him!
…
When Sage Green Ox arrived at Jiuxiao’s dojo, one-third of Jiuxiao’s disciples had already been killed by Feng Chu, Zhao Yangzi, Zhao Xiangzi, Bai Hong, Ye Jue, and Ye Ting.
“Several Immortal Lords, please stop!” Sage Green Ox swept his whisk, saving over ten disciples.
“Oh, old man, you tell us to stop just like that? Who are you, and what business is it of yours to meddle!” Feng Chu fanned himself with his folding fan, appearing nonchalant, but inwardly cursing his bad luck. They couldn’t defeat this old man. Looking at the dense purple aura above the old man’s head, it was almost about to descend. Among them, only Ye Jue and Ye Ting had the cultivation of Immortal Emperor. But fighting a sage was like courting death.
“Immortal Emperor Feng Chu, it’s been many years, you don’t recognize an old friend?” Sage Green Ox stroked his beard and thought: This Third Young Master Feng is troublesome. If he fought him, he would provoke an elder, so it’s best not to engage in hostilities! His ancestor, that old phoenix, was very protective of his own.
“Old man, I haven’t been back for long, my memory isn’t good, and you’re not some peerless beauty, so why should I remember you! Besides, these people you saved are the culprits who attacked my master. We, the Seven Star Guards, are carrying out our mission! Your shielding them like this, are you the mastermind behind it?”
“Sage, Feng Chu makes a valid point. Could you please explain!” Zhao Yangzi also stepped forward, playing with his Qingfeng Sword.
“Sage, I, Bai Hong, the King of Snow Beasts, also want to know why you are protecting these people who destroyed my Snow Beast clan?” Bai Hong stepped to the left.
Zhao Xiangzi also stepped out, while Ye Jue and Ye Ting surrounded Feng Chu.
Suddenly, formations were set. The seven stood in the order of the Big Dipper, and the legendary Seven Star Formation shot up into the sky, forming a domain that enveloped Sage Green Ox and the people behind him.
Good heavens, Sage Green Ox’s expression became solemn. He had encountered the Big Dipper Seven Star Formation, which could kill gods. He remembered that Xuan Ji was not a member of the Seven Star Guards, but why could Bai Hong activate the formation? Divine Venerable Ju Xin was also not simple; he had found it strange that she had so readily disbanded herself back then.
