As Tang Jie spoke, resounding laughter came from the distance.

Aurora's eyes narrowed and his heart tightened, for he was far too familiar with that laugh.

A man flew out from the west, his appearance majestic and imposing. He was flying atop a giant broadsword, and a sharp sword gale preceded him.

Iron Blood's face darkened. "Liu Zongchang!"

This man was none other than the Sect Master of the Celestial Sword Sect, Liu Zongchang, one of humanity's three Violet Palace cultivators.

The man on the flying sword was followed by an old man appearing from the east, seated on the back of an old turtle. This old turtle was seemingly crawling through the air on its feet, but it was actually moving rather quickly. The elder gave off a celestial aura, stroking his beard and smiling, and on his lap was a set of counting rods.

Tang Jie smiled. "Reverend Seer."

This was none other than the Reverend Seer he had spoken with through the Web of Fate.

Finally, a middle-aged, clean-faced scholar strode out of the southern sky with a book in his hand and a crown atop his head, strolling through the air as one might stroll through one's garden.

Aurora couldn't help but cry out, "Feng Wuxiang!"

This man was none other than the State Preceptor of Fengshan, Feng Wuxiang!

The three Violet Palace cultivators of humanity had all appeared at the same time, and with them were several dozen other human cultivators, including Shentu Yuan, Ye Xiao, Ximen Changfeng, and Ice Phoenix. When they spotted Tang Jie, Shentu Yuan and the others all waved at him. After one hundred years, they had also grown much stronger.

As Feng Wuxiang appeared, he said to the Aurora Fiend Emperor, "My old friend Aurora, have you been well?"

But rather than the Aurora Fiend Emperor, he spoke to that delicate youth behind him.

Everyone was stunned, even Tang Jie, staring at the youth behind Aurora.

The youth coldly chuckled.

His voice was clearly Aurora's voice.

The youth said, "Feng Wuxiang, you old ghost, why didn't you just stay in Fengshan? Did you come all the way here to die? Or perhaps you think that this little brat causing chaos has given you an opportunity to stage a comeback such that you can even ignore the Heavenly Dao Oath?"

Feng Wuxiang smiled. "This Feng Wuxiang would never dare to break the Heavenly Dao Oath, but this isn't the battlefield, and we aren't fighting over territory, but a treasure from High Antiquity. Fighting for personal gain can't be considered breaking the oath."

The Aurora Fiend Emperor looked around and said, "What if I were to give you the Azure Dragon's corpse?"

Feng Wuxiang was taken aback, seemingly not expecting this offer.

Liu Zongchang replied for him, "We want the Azure Dragon's corpse, but I also want your life, Your Majesty Aurora!!"

The youth laughed. "Good, good, so you're so certain that you've gotten us? Then what are you waiting for? Come and fight me!"

'Come and fight me!'

The Aurora Fiend Emperor's majestic roar resounded through the world.

The old Aurora then pointed forward and said, "Millepluma Guard, attend me!"

"Present!" the fiend guards all shouted in unison.

"Your emperor orders you to kill these people!"

"Attack!"

With this shout, a mighty storm swept through the world.

All of the fiend guards assembled into a thousand-man phalanx, their nine-hundred-some spears, thrusting into the sky, forming a spear mountain. The 28 Constellation generals took command, ordering this phalanx forward.

A strike that concentrated the power of nearly one thousand Transformation fiends was something even a Violet Palace cultivator didn't dare to underestimate.

Feng Wuxiang slapped his book, and a gale swept out from his body, stirring up a sea of clouds that surged toward the mountain of spears.

At the same time, Reverend Seer threw out a counting rod.

This counting rod grew larger as it tumbled through the air, unleashing a golden light as it joined Feng Wuxiang's attack in holding off the phalanx. Liu Zongchang also yelled, his broadsword flying and growing to the size of a small mountain and swinging at the air.

"Defend!"

The fiend guards shouted in unison, each of them raising a small golden mirror in their left hand.

The nearly one thousand small mirrors let out a light that formed a giant barrier above them.

The majestic Celestial Sword slammed into the barrier, a shockwave rippling out in all directions from the impact zone, but it disappeared when it reached Feng Wuxiang and Aurora.

The strike of the Celestial Sword Sect Master had failed to injure even a single fiend guard.

The Millepluma Guard that the Aurora Fiend Emperor had trained had been raised with the intention of slaying a Violet Palace cultivator. This was the concentrated power of one thousand fiends, able to both attack and defend, advance and retreat. The formation fused their energies together, allowing them to kill one Violet Palace cultivator, fight evenly against two of them, and hold out for a while against three.

The power of the Millepluma Guard was exactly what made the Aurora Fiend Emperor so frightening.

Once the Millepluma Guard blocked the sword, Aurora shouted, "Focus on killing Liu Zongchang! Leave Feng Wuxiang to me! As for Reverend Seer, Iron Blood, he's all yours!"

The Iron Blood Fiend Emperor laughed. "It would be my pleasure!"

Although he hated Aurora, he was no friend of humanity.

Now that the humans had come to their front door, he would have to put his grudges against Aurora to the side for now.

The Ironblood Saber swept toward Reverend Seer, imbued with all of its countless wills, and Reverend Seer threw out his counting rods, streaks of golden light fending off the Ironblood Saber.

The old Aurora charged at Feng Wuxiang, barraging him with rainbow light. Feng Wuxiang waved a sleeve, sending out gusts of wind to fend off the light.

The human cultivators began to fight with the fiend kings and generals.

Elder Wind roared as he charged at Tang Jie, "Tang Jie, give me back my master!"

He transformed into a giant golden lion and lunged at Tang Jie.

With him were Thunder Blade's fiend kings and generals.

As those fiends charged at him, Tang Jie snorted, "Seeking death!"

He was just about to throw a punch and slay Elder Wind when the young Aurora suddenly looked over at Tang Jie.

This one look made Tang Jie shiver all over, as if he had been targeted by a venomous snake.

He instinctively converted his punch into a block, and then his vision exploded with rainbow light as he was sent flying.

The avatar charged in at an angle, instantly producing countless hands that unleashed a barrage that fell like a lightning storm on the young Aurora. But the young Aurora simply snorted, a brilliant aurora appearing behind him like a peacock opening its tail, easily neutralizing Tang Jie's Nine Heavens Calamity Blades.

Elder Wind also turned to attack the avatar, while the four fiend kings and sixteen fiend generals joined together to attack Tang Jie. freew(e)bnovel

Five fiends that were essentially at Soul Transformation and sixteen fiend generals that were at Heart Demon was a force seven to eight times stronger than him, almost on par with a Violet Palace cultivator. The avatar didn't dare to take their attacks directly, choosing to retreat with Er Hu.

The gap in strength between the two sides began to become obvious.

Although the fiend side was down a Divine Division fiend, the subordinates the Five Fiend Emperors had brought were still around.

These forces put together were on par with the humans, and with the Millepluma Guard dealing with Liu Zongchang, the fiends actually had the advantage in the middle and lower tiers.

On the battlefield, a minor advantage could quickly be widened and ultimately converted into a total advantage.

In this situation, Liu Zongchang lost his patience and finally shouted, "Tang Jie, you were able to kill Silver Eyes and Thunder Blade, even if it was only through sneak attacks. Is this all the strength you can show? While Aurora might cultivate the Twin Bodhi Willow Art, he's being held down by Wuxiang, and he can only afford to use 10% of his strength on you!"

At this time, Tang Jie's tumbling original body finally crashed to the ground. Massaging his chest, Tang Jie said, "So his strength can be moved around between the two bodies?"

The Twin Bodhi Willow that Aurora cultivated allowed one to have two bodies, and his strength could be moved around between them, one growing stronger while the other grew weaker. While this secret art had its limits, such as that the bodies could not be too far away, nor could they have strength above his cultivation level, it was still a most incredible art.

He was able to dominate the Divine Division great fiends and cow the humans of Fengshan thanks to both his rainbow light and his Twin Bodhi Willow Art.

As he was dealing with someone as powerful as Feng Wuxiang, he had concentrated most of his power there. Thus, the young Aurora only had enough strength to hold Tang Jie, not actually threaten him.

Upon understanding this, Tang Jie charged in, shouting, "If that's the case, then it's time I started showing some of my ability!"

Just when he was about to attack the young Aurora, Tang Jie sensed something and quickly shot back to the rear.

Elder Wind, the four fiend kings, and the sixteen fiend generals had pushed the avatar to the brink. Each fiend king had seized one of the avatar's limbs, and the sixteen fiend generals had pressed down on the avatar's weak points, rendering him immobile. Elder Wind was now charging over in his golden lion form.

Just as the avatar was about to have his head bitten off, the original body charged in, crashing into the avatar in an explosion of light.

The light was so blinding that the golden lion couldn't even open its eyes!

And then it saw Tang Jie raise his head and smile. "My head's not that easy to chew!"

His body erupted with an aura that surged straight to the heavens.

Tang Jie suddenly swung his arm.

With this swing, those fiend kings and generals that were subduing him from a distance were all shaken off.

They sensed an immense energy erupting from Tang Jie, so powerful that even the collected strength of so many fiends couldn't suppress it. 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢

This surging majestic power was even stronger than that of a Fiend Emperor!

Yes, "stronger"!

Ever since his avatar had reached Soul Transformation, the merged Tang Jie could now fight evenly against Divine Division great fiends. Even if he still couldn't win, he wouldn't necessarily lose. No longer was he a Tang Jie that needed to rely on schemes and ambushes to win.

He couldn't cast spell arts instantly like Violet Palace cultivators, nor could he harness the power of the world, but he was physically stronger than them, and his body was tougher.

Trying to suppress him? What an absolute joke! Even Divine Division fiends couldn't suppress him, unless they had ascended to the next tier!

"Raaa!"

With a roar, Tang Jie raised his arm and sent those fiend kings and generals flying back. At the same time, Tang Jie punched out with his other hand at the golden lion, striking it in the belly.

"Awooo!" Elder Wind roared in fury.

Tang Jie callously said, "Since you're such a loyal servant, you might as well follow him!"

The power of his fist erupted within the lion, blasting the golden lion into tiny pieces of gore.
