Chapter 39: Red Snow, Invincible!

"Die."

A cold light flashed in the Seven Luminaries Celestial's eyes. He thrust his long spear forward without hesitation. Whoosh! The spear was like lightning, even causing ripples in spacetime that twisted around the entire shaft. At the tip of the spear, a point of light gleamed. No one doubted the terrifying power of that thrust. The Three-Eyed Demon God, who had been sent flying backward, forgot his shame and anger. He moved his feet, and the space around him shifted. He forcibly executed a teleportation technique to retreat, while maintaining his composure. The two great hammers in his hands once again met the spear.

"Third Brother, that Red Snow is nothing special. They are seven celestials, and we are three. The Seven Luminaries Celestial formed from them is naturally slightly stronger in divine body than our Three-Eyed Celestial."

"Right, we are slightly inferior in divine body, but in battle, we can still kill them."

The Golden-Furred Divine Eagle and the Broken-Horned Divine Dragon transmitted their voices.

"Rest assured, no celestial can defeat me." The Nine-Headed Lion's heart burned with endless flames.

He was proud and aloof at heart.

Although he ranked third among the three brothers and usually kept a low profile, his ambition was far greater than that of his two elder brothers. Whether from his early experiences or his later exploits across the ancient times, even his self-proclaimed title 'Heaven-Swallowing Great Sage' stemmed from his ambition. He was determined to become stronger, and indeed he had become immensely powerful.

"You were born earlier than me, even at the dawn of creation, and you followed a Chaos True God. But no matter how good your fortune, I will still defeat you." The Nine-Headed Lion was completely obsessed. "Today, in this realm war, watched by countless Dao Ancestors... I will use your life, Red Snow Celestial, to prove my strength, the Nine-Headed Lion."

"Die."

The Three-Eyed Demon God's great hammers no longer struck with brute force but carried a strange fluctuation.

The Seven Luminaries Celestial remained cold and fierce, his spear thrusting forward.

"Clang." "Bang." "Rip."

The sounds of the spear and hammers clashing suddenly became strange.

"Hmm?"

The Seven Luminaries Celestial was momentarily unable to suppress the Three-Eyed Demon God.

"This little fellow was not famous in ancient times, but he has the style of that old bull, and is even more cunning than the bull." Red Snow Celestial's experience was vast; he immediately understood the fighting style of this rising star, the 'Nine-Headed Lion,' and also knew how to defeat the Three-Eyed Demon God.

At the start of their battle, both the Seven Luminaries Celestial and the Three-Eyed Demon God were known for their immense strength and power.

But suddenly, the Seven Luminaries Celestial's spear technique changed.

"Swish, swish, swish~~~" Ethereal and unpredictable spear lights appeared in the air. The entire spear moved like a flexible serpent, wandering unpredictably.

The Three-Eyed Demon God swung his hammers madly, carrying strange and vigorous fluctuations, but the Seven Luminaries Celestial's spear seemed 'unreceptive to force.' The fluctuations of his hammers could not affect the spear technique at all.

"What kind of ghostly spear technique is this?" The Nine-Headed Lion raged.

"Calm down, Third Brother. In ancient times, Red Snow Celestial was most famous for fusing the 'Snow Dao' and the 'Time Dao,' forming his unique fighting style. He comprehended the Snow Dao back then, clearly achieving great mastery in the 'Water Heavenly Dao.' Look at his spear technique—it's like flowing water, continuous and unbroken, with shifting time... You need to be more steady." The Golden-Furred Divine Eagle transmitted. The eldest and second among the three great demon gods were powerful in their own right, having lived longer than the third, and their insight was sharp.

"When I use the Heaven-Earth Universe Hammer Technique, he uses this ghostly spear technique. But when I am steady, he becomes狂暴." The Nine-Headed Lion was also anxious.

The once subtle hammer technique suddenly became heavy as a mountain, each strike immensely weighty.

"Bang."

The Seven Luminaries Celestial, in turn, struck violently, either chopping, whipping, or thrusting fiercely.

He beat the Three-Eyed Demon God staggering backward, completely at a disadvantage.

"Dao Ancestor, I can't hold on here." The Nine-Headed Lion finally grew anxious. This battle was too frustrating. Although his strength was immense, the Three-Eyed Celestial formed from him was slightly inferior in divine body to the Seven Luminaries Celestial. Moreover, his combat techniques were completely countered and suppressed. Red Snow Celestial's spear technique was too unfathomable.

...

Ji Ning was in the midst of battle, wielding the thousands-of-zhang-long Ananda World-Saving Sword. Sword light flashed, and the demons and beasts of the Heartless Sect fell one after another.

"Kill."

"Die."

On the Light-Flowing One-World Boat, Emperor Xia and the other five Celestial Immortals and True Immortals were casting treasures and spells, furiously attacking the Heartless Sect.

Other battle formations, including Yinglong, Punishment Celestial, and Pangu Battle Formations, were also attacking other Heartless Sect forces.

Note that previously, these forces were all dealing with the 'Three-Eyed Demon God.' Now that the Seven Luminaries Celestial was driving the Three-Eyed Demon God back, Ji Ning and the large group that had been confronting the Three-Eyed Demon God were freed to attack the other demon beasts, celestials, and true immortals of the Heartless Sect. At this moment, on this battlefield, the Crimson Bright Realm had gained absolute superiority!

"Changqing, don't flee."

"Changqing, accept your death."

Emperor Xia and the others were furious.

"Hmph." As soon as the Seven Luminaries Celestial appeared, Changqing Sword Immortal sensed trouble and immediately teleported far away, releasing treasures and spells from a great distance. Whenever Emperor Xia and the others approached, Changqing Sword Immortal would retreat. If he retreated further... he could completely withdraw into another small battlefield.

Emperor Xia and the others understood that killing Changqing was important, but winning this war was more important. So they temporarily gave up on Changqing and focused on attacking the other forces of the Heartless Sect.

...

On the Eight-Dragon Cloud City, Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor's face was flushed red, and his mouth was split in a grin: "Red Snow, hahaha, long time no see. He seems to have improved a bit since back then. The Seven Luminaries Celestial under Sanshou? With them here, there's hope for this war."

"Pity, the Chaos Dao Fruits are gone." Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor looked at the distant archer Dongzhe.

Dongzhe shot sixteen arrows in a row.

His mental energy was nearly exhausted, and the eight Chaos Dao Fruits were completely spent. Although he directly destroyed only about thirty enemies like the White-Faced Jiao and Bifang, Dongzhe influenced various small battlefields, indirectly causing nearly a hundred demon beasts of the Heartless Sect to die. But the Heartless Sect had too many celestial puppets.

"Dongzhe's arrows are gone."

"Counterattack."

"Attack."

The Wujian Gate side, which had been at a disadvantage, suddenly had their morale boosted, and they began to counterattack wildly. When they launched their 'general offensive', a large number of celestial puppets appeared. Although they had lost some strength due to Dongzhe, their power was still not inferior to that of the Chiming realm.

……

Dao Ancestor Mozhu's face turned ashen; the originally excellent situation had turned out like this.

According to his speculation, by the time Dongzhe's arrows were exhausted, the battles in other areas should have been deadlocked. Meanwhile, the Three-Eyed Demon God could completely sweep away Ji Ning, Xia Huang, and others, and then lead a group of Wujian Gate combatants to support other areas... causing the Chiming realm's side on the entire battlefield to collapse completely.

Then this battle would be won.

Even if Lord Chiming ordered a retreat early, the Wujian Gate could still severely damage the Chiming realm.

But—

"Red Snow? This Red Snow is actually this strong?" Dao Ancestor Mozhu's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth as he transmitted, "You eighteen, quickly go support the Three Demon Gods of Tunlong Mountain."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The Celestial Immortals and True Immortals in other areas of the battlefield immediately acknowledged upon hearing the order.

Dao Ancestor Mozhu watched coldly; transferring eighteen Celestial Immortals and True Immortals from other areas... immediately made the battles in those areas difficult, but Mozhu carefully selected them to ensure the situation wouldn't collapse. After all, most of the Wujian Gate side were celestial puppets, and killing them was very hard.

"Eighteen Celestial Immortals and True Immortals joining forces, plus the Three-Eyed Demon God. I don't believe we still can't suppress you, a Qiyao Celestial."

"After defeating you, the Three-Eyed Demon God will lead the eighteen Celestial Immortals and True Immortals and their armies to sweep through the other areas." Lord Mozhu's eyes were icy.

……

On the battlefield where Ji Ning and the others were.

"Senior Red Snow, be careful." Ji Ning immediately noticed streaks of light flying from afar, a full eighteen streaks, each one a Celestial Immortal or True Immortal. He was greatly alarmed and quickly transmitted.

"Eighteen Celestial Immortals and True Immortals."

"They actually sent eighteen."

Ji Ning, Xia Huang, and the others on the Chiming realm's side were all shocked, then their eyes turned red: "Kill, kill, kill. The more we kill, the easier it will be to handle them."

"Die!" A spike appeared on Ji Ning's right fist, and he fiercely punched three times in succession on the head of a celestial puppet. Bang bang bang~~~ Three lightning-fast punches caused the celestial puppet to collapse directly.

"Collect."

Xia Huang and the others cast spells, completely binding a celestial puppet, then suppressed and collected it.

Ji Ning and the others were doing their utmost to weaken the Wujian Gate's forces, in order to assist the Qiyao Celestial.

"Attack Red Snow."

"Destroy this Qiyao Celestial."

"Formation!"

In an instant, the eighteen Celestial Immortals and True Immortals flying in from the high sky began to employ their techniques. They quickly split into three groups: nine Pure Yang True Immortals joined forces to set up the 'Nine Treasure Pagoda Formation', three Celestials transformed into a 'Three-Eyed Demon God' wielding a long staff, and the remaining six Celestials and True Immortals cast spells and magic treasures to bind and hinder the Qiyao Celestial.

"Excellent." The Three-Eyed Demon God, who had been so hard-pressed he even wanted to flee, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately unleashed his divine power to counterattack.

"Kill!" The Three-Eyed Demon God holding the long staff also strode forward.

"Descend!" The nine Pure Yang True Immortals, madness in their eyes, pointed into the distance, and a golden pagoda descended directly, enveloping the Qiyao Celestial.

"Go!"

"Bind!" The other six Celestials and True Immortals cast numerous spells.

Ji Ning and the others wanted to help.

"Don't worry about me. Kill all the other Wujian Gate members." Red Snow's voice rang out across the battlefield.

"Break!"

The spear was like lightning.

Time and space began to tremble.

Bang~~~ The golden pagoda that had enveloped the Qiyao Celestial was pierced through by a single spear thrust from the Qiyao Celestial. Ignoring the binding spells, his spear was like a dragon, twisting time and space. "Bang bang~~" The unpredictable spear seemed to simultaneously strike the two Three-Eyed Demon Gods. The one holding the long staff was sent flying backward, while the Nine-Headed Lion Three-Eyed Demon God staggered back several steps.

The combined force of eighteen Pure Yang True Immortals and the three great demon gods of Tunlong Mountain was completely overwhelmed.

"What!" In the distance, Dao Ancestor Mozhu's face turned extremely ugly.

"Good!"

"Amazing!"

"Thrilling!" The entire Chiming realm side on the battlefield erupted in cheers.

……

In another time-space, on Fangcun Mountain.

Patriarch Subhuti was sitting there, and beside him sat a gaunt old man holding a fan, Subhuti's second disciple, 'Jidian'. Both were watching this realm war.

"Time-space?" Jidian exclaimed.

Patriarch Subhuti's eyes lit up, showing delight: "This red-haired youngster has actually merged the Dao of Time and the Dao of Space, truly touching the power of time-space."

"Congratulations, Master, for encountering a fine talent." Jidian quickly said.
