"Whoosh~"

Above the Nine Heavens, twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls shone brilliantly, with five-colored glimmers illuminating everything within ten thousand miles in vivid detail.

Strike while the enemy is sick, take their life!

This is a fundamental tactic of the Primordial Immortal Gods.

Zhao Gongming didn't stick rigidly to the rules either; facing the Randeng Taoist who had lost the central Earthly Yin-Yellow Flag, he went all out with his firepower, aiming for a quick battle and swift resolution.

The divine might of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearls was unrivaled, with the magnificent five-colored rays reflecting the heavens, as if within that splendor lay countless Great Thousand Worlds.

Nothing could withstand such divine majesty, and within ten thousand miles, every mountain range instantly shattered, with those closer instantly turning into dust, which, as the wind blew, cascaded down like gravel from the majestic peaks.

"Boom—"

On top of the orange-yellow Qingyun clouds above the head of the Randeng Taoist, three swaying Dao Flowers shone, driving the Qiankun Ruler to flash with boundless Divine Light, twisting and distorting space to block the divine power of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearls.

However, this could only stop it temporarily. As the Ocean Stabilizing Pearls continued their assault, gaps began to appear in his defense, and Zhao Gongming seized the opportunity to land consecutive blows on him, causing him to spout blood from his nose and mouth, his Primordial Spirit wilted, and his physical body terribly battered.

"Have you not reached the point where you will surrender and admit defeat?"

Zhao Gongming muttered under his breath.

Due to Randeng Taoist's status as the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Chan Sect, he did not harbor the intent to kill, but merely wished for his surrender and admission of defeat.

However, even though the Randeng Taoist was heavily battered, he clenched his teeth and stubbornly held on, seemingly sure that Zhao Gongming did not dare to harm him, which caused Zhao Gongming to glance impatiently at the Golden Hoop Immortal, contemplating whether or not to borrow a pair of Golden Hoops.

At that moment, the Randeng Taoist suddenly produced a yellow-orange Golden Core.

"A Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?"

Zhao Gongming raised an eyebrow and coldly scoffed, "Even if the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could restore you to your original state, you would not be my match without the central Earthly Yin-Yellow Flag!"

Randeng Taoist knew that what he said was true, but he also understood that the Sect Hierarch, the Saint, would certainly make a move.

All he needed to do was to hold on until then.

Yet, Zhao Gongming did not give him any chance to breathe. Once again he swung his Golden Whip, carrying a destructive force towards the Randeng Taoist.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming, surrounded by twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls, appeared like a Primordial Divine God descending, unparalleled by anyone.

Randeng Taoist hastily swallowed the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill; its medicinal power rapidly diffused within his body, instantly reconstructing his battered physical body and Primordial Spirit, replenishing his divine reserves.

He lifted his head, his gaze filled with resolve and determination.

The Qiankun Ruler in the Taoist's hand swirled like a giant dragon, distributing powerful waves of strength. At the same time, a blazing light shone from the spirit-lamp behind him, like a meteor streaking across the sky.

The pressure from Zhao Gongming intensified. With the Golden Whip in his hand like a rainbow and his figure as swift as lightning, he swooped towards the Randeng Taoist like a fierce wind.

Wherever the Golden Whip passed, it tore the space apart inch by inch, emitting a piercing screech.

The Randeng Taoist calmly faced Zhao Gongming's onslaught, the Qiankun Ruler in his hand sweeping across space, drawing a gigantic protective shield to block all attacks from the Golden Whip.

Simultaneously, boundless Glazed Heart Fire spewed forth from the spirit lamp behind him, like an ocean of flames that completely engulfed Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming, who had suffered from the Glazed Heart Fire before, would not fall for the same trick again.

His Golden Whip burst with endless golden light, condensing into a series of golden sword beams, slicing through space and breaking through the sea of fire, and instead went to strike back at the Randeng Taoist.

The Qiankun Ruler in Randeng Taoist's hand waved, and immediately hundreds of layers of space overlapped in front of him. From a specific angle, one could see the space folding like pleated windows, intercepting the golden blades and leaving no gap for Zhao Gongming to exploit.

Simultaneously, the spirit lamp erupted once more with a fierce glow, as dazzling as a constant star. The flames around it roared even more fiercely, forming an unpredictable sea of fire that surged towards Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming made a split-second decision. Without further entanglement with the Randeng Taoist, he flickered and quickly escaped the encircling fire. Then, he activated the twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls, forming a certain formation, suppressing the Randeng Taoist from above.

The expression of the Randeng Taoist changed as he felt an irresistible force.

It was then that a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire descended from the heavens, raising his right hand and with a light wave, deflecting the twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls back.

"What!"

Zhao Gongming's eyes widened in shock, staring closely at the middle-aged man.

He stood tall and burly, with sharp and resolute facial features as if chiseled by a knife, and thick brows like ink and a pair of deep and bright eyes that exuded an indescribable steadiness and composure.

His hair was thick and glossy, with some strands of silver that hinted at his age.

He wore a meticulously tailored, antique-style blue robe akin to the night sky, embroidered with exquisite patterns and gold threads outlining magnificent designs, exuding immeasurable grandeur.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Gongming was truly taken aback.

His twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls were supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures, possessing enormous power. Even a master like Randeng Daoist had to rely on the Central Yellow Flag to fend them off.

And without the Central Yellow Flag, there was nothing to do but take a beating.

Yet this unknown middle-aged man could casually wave his hand and deflect all twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls back at him, as if they were not Ocean Stabilizing Pearls but mere pebbles.

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's question, the middle-aged man paid no attention and instead greeted Randeng Daoist with a bow: "I have seen Vice Sect Hierarch Randeng; I am here by order of the Sect Hierarch Saint to lend you a helping hand."

Hearing this, Randeng Daoist sighed with relief from the bottom of his heart.

He had held out for so long, and finally, reinforcements had arrived!

As the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Chan Sect, he naturally knew the origins of this middle-aged man and immediately commanded in a deep voice: "Please, fellow Daoist, quickly seize the Central Yellow Flag for me, and then restrain that Yu Yuan who holds the flag!"

Hearing the command, the middle-aged man didn't speak a word and flew straight towards Yu Yuan, who held the Central Yellow Flag.

"What on earth are you?"

Zhao Gongming roared, and together with three Sky Immortals who sensed the abnormal situation and rushed over, wielded their Spiritual Treasures, attempting to block the middle-aged man.

However, the latter, strolling as if in a leisurely courtyard, simply raised his hand for a light pat or sidestepped to avoid the attacks, effortlessly breaking through Zhao Gongming and the three Immortals' defenses and then appearing in front of Yu Yuan.

He reached out with his left hand, slowly yet swiftly clawing towards the Central Yellow Flag in Yu Yuan's hands, while his right hand also extended towards Yu Yuan's neck.

Clearly, he intended to faithfully carry out Randeng Daoist's orders by first taking the flag and then capturing Yu Yuan.

However, at that moment, a slender Golden Needle appeared out of nowhere, like a bolt of lightning, stabbing towards the middle-aged man's forehead.

The middle-aged man's eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of surprise and hesitation showed in his eyes.

In the end, he did not try to catch the Golden Needle, but stepped back a few paces, creating a spacious position.

In the next instant, a fairy of unmatched beauty materialized in front of Yu Yuan.

She wore a snow-white long dress, with a pleated hem trailing down, her flouncy skirt flowing behind her, revealing an elegantly seductive gap at the knee that showcased her slender, alabaster legs.

The snow-white dress emphasized her graceful figure to its fullest, drawing the lines of her willowy, serpentine waist and beautifully translucent legs that exuded a captivating charm, beckoning one's gaze.

"Eh?"

Zhao Gongming furrowed his brow slightly, asking with some curiosity, "And who might she be?"

Yun Xiao Fairy recognized the identity of the stunning Immortal and said in a low voice, "She is the ruler of the Land of Gentleness, known as Fairy Miao Yuan, said to be a reclusive Quasi-Saint of great prowess!"

"A Quasi-Saint?"

Zhao Gongming blinked, his curiosity growing.

"Then why would she appear here?"

"This..." Yun Xiao Fairy shook her head, "I'm not certain, only that her relationship with Nephew Yu Yuan... well, it's complicated; not something that can be explained in a few words. But considering her actions, she seems to hold no malice towards Nephew Yu Yuan, rather, it looks like she has come to the rescue."

Meanwhile.

Fairy Miao Yuan looked at Yu Yuan and said, "You saved me last time, and now it's my turn to save you. With this, we are even!"

"Eh?"

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, speaking irritably, "So you've been hiding in the shadows all this time, waiting for an opportunity to repay the favor?"

The battle here was so intense, and given that the Gentle Land wasn't far away, Fairy Miao Yuan, the ruler of the land, couldn't possibly be unaware.

Yet she had not shown herself until the middle-aged man made his appearance. Then she took the chance to come forward at the first opportunity.

Her purpose wasn't anything else but to unilaterally repay Yu Yuan for saving her before.

But the problem was...

"Do I need your rescue?" Yu Yuan said irritably, "You're not unaware of what I'm capable of."

"Don't be careless!"

Fairy Miao Yuan, of course, knew Yu Yuan's prowess.

However, her senses told her that the middle-aged man was much more terrifying than Mr. Bai!

What's more crucial, the middle-aged man gave her a feeling of familiarity, as though she had seen him somewhere before, but it seemed the memory was from too far back in time, leaving her struggling to remember.

It wasn't until this moment that a flash of insight struck her, and her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "I remember now! He... he is from the Ancient Times, the sovereign of the Earth, the leader of all beasts in Primordial times... the Primordial Qilin!"
