"Buzz~~~"

The Ocean Stabilizing God Needle trembled violently, but the raging Rule of Power ultimately failed to dissipate the Yin Fire Flames that contained a trace of the Rule of Fire.

The Yin Fire crept up the Ocean-Calming Divine Needle Iron, which resembled a fire poker, and wrapped around Yang Jian's body. Almost instantly as the flames touched him, the smell of scorching emerged from Yang Jian.

The stench spread miles around.

"Ah... damn, setting me on fire... so hot..."

Green Yin Fire Flames scorched him, and Yang Jian screamed in agony.

Long Xuhu and the others were startled, Man Niu even rolled up his sleeves, stirred up his Mana, and was about to step forward to help Yang Jian extinguish the miserable green flames.

Li Qingming had been observing coldly all along. Seeing Man Niu wanting to step forward and extinguish the flames for Yang Jian, he quickly grabbed him and said, "Man Niu, you blockhead, what are you doing?"

Man Niu was moving fast, so when Li Qingming grabbed his elbow, he almost staggered and fell to the ground.

He angrily turned his head and glared at Li Qingming, with dissatisfaction all over his face: "Brother Li, what are you doing! Erlang is almost being burned to death, and you're not letting us take action? Isn't Erlang your disciple?"

Li Qingming turned his head and looked at the others, realizing that besides Li Qingquan, Xuan Tian, Shakyamuni, and Yin Xi, everyone else had some anger and confusion to varying degrees.

With a helpless shake of his head, Li Qingming said: "You should trust Erlang; he can handle it on his own! Besides, although Erlang is reborn into the body of the Human Clan, his essence is ultimately the Five-Colored Divine Stone used by Nuwa to mend the Heavens, its nature incredibly resilient and immune to water and fire! Even the Yin Fire, containing a trace of the Rule of Fire, would hardly harm Erlang."

"Oh!" Everyone then realized, feeling somewhat guilty for the anger they had towards Li Qingming moments before.

...

At this moment, Yang Jian felt unbearable pain within his body. The pain originated both from his flesh and from an intense burning sensation deep within his heart.

You cannot imagine what it feels like when you can clearly sense each cell being torn apart; nor can you imagine what it's like when waves of pure Rule of Fire power strike at your Primordial Spirit, as if someone is driving long needles under your nails; even less can you imagine your body nearly turning into a fireball, feeling like it will burst from the swelter.

Yang Jian felt it all, and he could clearly sense the energy from the Chaos Demon Ape within his body dissipating bit by bit, fearing he could no longer hold on!

"No, mere Rule of Fire, even if you are one of the Ten Great Iron Rules, so what? In this life, since I've willingly obeyed my Master's orders to come into the world early, I must serve by Master's side! How can I die, how can I possibly die! Ah!"

Yang Jian roared wildly in his heart. His Primordial Spirit, now verging on madness, actually merged itself into a shiny, diamond-shaped stone in his Sea of Consciousness.

The stone was brilliantly radiant, as if it had always existed in Yang Jian's Sea of Consciousness.

Just as Yang Jian's berserk Primordial Spirit merged into the crystal-clear stone, an invisible force burst forth from the stone, and charged towards the eye in the center of Yang Jian's forehead...

On the other side, Thanatos, who was maintaining the Yin Fire energy with all his might, revealed a wildly elated smile. He bellowed, "Hahaha, invader, now I will scatter your soul to the winds! By my name, Thanatos, God of Death, I bestow death upon the one before me!"

"Boom!"

The flames scorching Yang Jian surged even more violently. Eighty-one lines of miserable green light soared to the skies, illuminating the gloomy and pitch-dark Sea of Death God as bright as daylight.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a dazzling golden radiance burst forth from the fiery body of Yang Jian. It shone like the first glimmer of dawn, illuminating the whole world. In an instant, it dispersed the Yin Fire imbued with a trace of the Rule of Fire.

It pierced through the flames, shattered the ocean, and directly struck the right arm of Thanatos, who had no time to dodge.

"Thud!"

A dull sound of breaking echoed as the golden flames pierced through the arm of Thanatos, leaving a terrifyingly bloody hole from which crimson blood flowed thickly.

"My lord!" The warriors of the Netherworld God Clan following closely behind Thanatos were shocked and changed colors, rushing forward to support him, asking, "My lord, how are you?"

Thanatos, in a fit of rage, shook off the hands supporting him and stared intently at Yang Jian not far away. His brow was flashing with a golden eye while his body was scorched black, he said, "Impossible, how is this possible? How could someone break my Fire Execution Pillar with just their eyes?"

Yang Jian withdrew the golden light from his eyes, grinned, showing a set of shiny, white teeth, and said, "I should thank you! If it weren't for you scorching me with the Rule Power of Fire, I'd never have discovered that the Five-Colored Divine Stone in my Sea of Consciousness also contained the Rule Power of Fire! Thanks to you, your Fire Rules acted as a catalyst, helping me to forge this Eye of Golden Flame!"

"What... pff!" Furious, Thanatos spat out a mouthful of blood, waving his hand, he shouted, "You all, everyone attack! Kill them, kill, kill, kill!"

"Roar, eliminate these intruders!"

"How dare they injure our Lord Thanatos, kill these bastards..."

All the Taoist cultivators and the warriors of the Netherworld God Clan went mad, roaring ferociously. They operated their scythes, raised their Spiritual Treasures, and rushed towards the others as a group.

"Roar! Demon Ape Body!"

Yang Jian roared, as a dazzling multi-colored light began to radiate from his body. A faint ripple of the Rule of Power spread out from him as the center in all directions.

"Buzz!"

The surging five-colored radiance suddenly condensed, and Yang Jian, having transformed into a thousand-foot Demon Ape, stepped out from within.

He was clad in Locking Gold Armor, crowned with a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown upon his head, his feet shod in Mystic Cold Azure Cloud Shoes, and in his hand he wielded the Ocean-Calming Divine Needle Iron, thick as a column propping up the heavens, exuding an immensely heavy aura.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Jian swung the gigantic Divine Needle in his hand, the hefty staff splitting the waters and driving waves upon waves, overwhelming the guardians who were charging towards him with immense speed.

"Ah! No..."

"By the Divine King, what in the world is this?"

"Pfft!"

The guardians let out pitiful screams as, apart from three warriors at the Peak of Sub-Saint, blood gushed from their mouths as they were flung towards the ocean floor below.

Unnoticed by anyone, Li Qingming gestured with his right hand and quietly took out three talismans, casting them into the bodies of the three Sub-Saint warriors.

As for the remaining guardians, who were below the Late Sub-Saint Cultivation Realm, all were knocked down by a single blow from Yang Jian, smashed into meat patties, their bodies and spirits utterly obliterated!
