Shi Sheng knew that today marked the weakening and decay of the Immortal Law Prohibitions in the Xuanyuan Holy Tomb, and the hour when the second Treasure should emerge. Monks and nuns who were enemies of his master were all formidable, and although his own mana was not remarkable, if he could rush to assist as soon as possible, after all, it would be of help. Unfortunately, just then, the Golden Ship emerged from the water, and from the sky to the sea, enemies were everywhere.

He had successively slain seven enemies but realized killing these people did not solve the main problem. Now that the grand demons of the skies had arrived and the fight was chaotic, the only way to turn the tide was to either slay or drive away at least one, which would allow his side to quickly secure victory.

Evil Corpse Gu Chen and Huo Wuhai were dueling, surrounded by the Mystics Yin Soul Refining Formation and the Supreme Heaven Fierce Fire Formation both inside and out, he guessed he wouldn't be able to break through. Rashly entering the formation would only add to Brother Huo's troubles, so he decided to target Jiulei God instead. He figured that with the Heavenly Heart Double Rings guarded by Yuan Hua's extreme yin-yang Divine Sand and the presence of Lin Han and others at the Rainbow Bridge, safety was assured. Cang Lingzi facing off against a couple alone was unfair. Even though Shi Sheng could not take on the old Jiulei monster, he believed he could still fight his wife.

His plan was simple, worrying Yuan Hua might stop him, he made no announcement, but merged with his sword in Human Sword Unity and flew out from the side of the Rainbow Bridge, first slaying a demon minion of the Red-haired Ancestor, then a bright white sword light drew a large arc, turning its head flying upward, piercing through the pitch-black yin evil, cutting through countless strands of Black Evil Silk, all the way to Cang Lingzi's side.

He greeted politely first, "Uncle Cang Lingzi, I'm here to assist you!"

Then he shouted, "What kind of skill is it for you two to gang up on one? Come on, you witch, let's you and me have a duel!"

Seeing his arrival, Cang Lingzi immediately smiled, "Are you nephew Shi Sheng?"

They had never met; Shi Sheng quickly responded, "Uncle, indeed, I am Shi Sheng."

"Very good, very good, with a root of immortality and a body of marvelous bones!" exclaimed Cang Lingzi. "A few days ago, your master sent me a Flying Sword Transmission, stating that you have a Treasure on you, and if you happen to come to assist me against the enemy, you should use that Treasure to give this couple a good show."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Sheng took out the Heavenly Heart Ring, "The Treasure Master referred to must be this one."

Seeing the Heavenly Heart Double Rings, Cang Lingzi was overjoyed and instructed him to fly above, hide the Treasure Light, and act accordingly when Jiulei God casts Yin Thunder.

Speaking of his Separation and Reunion Divine Light, it could move in collection and separation at will, with endless miraculous uses. When gathered, the colorful light solidified like crystal mountains of ice, enveloping from top to bottom as if cast in iron and steel, trapping any enemy within, making escape near impossible.

Jiulei God emitted nine bursts of Jiule Yin Thunder in succession. His Yin Thunder was incredibly powerful, each capable of blasting huge chunks of the Separation and Reunion Divine Light apart. With the Chi You Nine Palace Mirror in hand, he was able to calculate Cang Lingzi's position through the air. Originally, the multiple layers of colorful light made it impossible to see the caster's location, yet with this treasure, he was able to accurately lock on and charge forward. Cang Lingzi had to constantly shift his location and continuously create false images of himself with the Separation and Reunion Divine Light to avoid being deceived. Despite this, he still had to expend substantial Primordial Qi to replenish the Divine Light, otherwise Jiulei God would quickly break through.

At that moment, Cang Lingzi used the Separation and Reunion Divine Light to envelop Shi Sheng, completely integrating him into the colorful light in the sky. Releasing the Heavenly Heart Double Rings, when Jiulei God unleashed another Thunder Pearl, Shi Sheng used the Heavenly Heart Ring to capture it.

Initially, when the Thunder Pearl was released, it turned into a streak of azure fire. As it approached the colorful light, which was solid like copper walls and iron barriers, it was about to explode, but suddenly, a red and a blue heart-shaped light emerged from nowhere. The two melded together, trapping the azure fire between them. Inside, the light flickered, and Primordial Qi surged, and within an instant, the azure fire was reverted back into a small Thunder Pearl!

Jiulei God couldn't see Shi Sheng, and even the light from the Heavenly Heart Double Rings wasn't intense. He just caught a glimpse of two rings flying together and combining, taking the Yin Thunder that was about to explode and reverting it back to a Thunder Pearl for capture.

This shock was no small matter to him; in his thousand years of cultivation, he had never seen such a scene.

For a moment, he did not know what means Cang Lingzi was using to capture his most prideful Thunder Pearls and was both startled and enraged.

The area was filled with colorful light, and the Separation and Reunion Divine Light of Cang Lingzi was incredibly mysterious, restraining the majority of the Magical Treasures.

The Owl Goddess had just unleashed five treasures in a row—Flying Needles, Flying Forks, Flying Wheels, Flying Scissors—all were wrapped by the Separation and Reunion Divine Light. Only two were retrieved, the rest were ground into dust.

The Owl Goddess was infuriated, shrieking loudly, telling her husband to put in more effort, not to hold back anymore: "Today, we must flay and debone that shorty Cang! Or I'll never let you live it down!"

Jiulei God paused for a while, then shouted aloud, "Friend Cang Lingzi, you and I have no personal grudge, there's no need for us to fight to the death over a demon. The earlier moves were just probing; if I were to truly unleash my full power, your Separation and Reunion Divine Light might be formidable, but it still can't contain me…"

Cang Lingzi's voice came from all directions, "I've long heard that friend Jiulei is exceptional in the Demon Path, with profound mana and expansive Divine Skills, I've been wanting to learn from you face to face."

He paused here too, hesitated inwardly, but eventually continued, "You keep saying you want to seek revenge on Shi Master's disciple; do you know who Shi Master is currently dueling with? It is none other than Xin Ru Nun, once one of the Cosmic Six Strange."

Upon hearing the four words "Xin Ru Nun," Jiulei God's heart lurched with fear.

Back when Dragon Slayer Shen Xiu had been slaying dragons in the North Sea, Jiulei God had joined forces with Xuanyuan Dharma King to trap Dragon Slayer and her disciple, nearly turning them into ash. Then, out of the blue, a divine talisman from Xin Ru Nun flew in, and a bolt of golden Divine Thunder rescued them, prompting the two to turn tail and flee immediately.

In Jiulei God's recollection, Xuanyuan Dharma King was the first to flee, but afterwards, Xuanyuan Dharma King claimed it had been Jiulei God who ran first.

When Xin Ru Nun was known as Xin Ruyu a thousand years ago, she had dominated the world, daring to challenge elders of the Demon Path such as the Palace Master of Stone God Palace to a duel. Even her own father-in-law would frown upon the mention of her name, preferring not to provoke her. At that time, Xuanyuan Dharma King was still in the West Sea, mingling with his master; strictly speaking, both he and his master were a generation below Xin Ruyu.

Li Jingxu—a Cosmic Six Strange named personally by Jile Perfected—became even more powerful with his Divine Skills after embracing Buddhism. Whenever he made a casual move, it would shake heaven and earth. The power of that divine talisman from back then still sent chills down Jiulei God's spine.

So when he heard that Shi Feiyang was currently dueling with Xin Ru Nun, his estimation of Shi Feiyang's status and strength soared considerably. Indeed, his own power had greatly improved since the old days, but he believed when compared to Xin Ru Nun, he still fell far short...

Cang Lingzi had intended to warn Jiulei God out of kindness, but while Jiulei God was still indecisive, his wife, the Witch, urged him to act quickly, pressuring her husband to strike immediately.

Seeing her husband hesitate to unleash his Big Move, she let out a furious howl and, with a shake of her body, split into three exact duplicates of herself—her famous Three Corpse Incarnations from the Demon Path. Now there were four Witches, each holding a Magical Treasure and pouncing in four different directions.

Jiulei God, witnessing his wife's desperation, also quickly shouted, "The situation has come to this; the great vengeance for father-in-law must be avenged. Today, that demon Huo Wuhai must be killed!"

Jiulei God wore a seven-star crown with nine flames the size of fingers burning atop it. His Daoist robe, dark green in color, was short in the front and long in the back. Pinned to his left shoulder were five blood-red Demon Forks that looked like decorations. He then shook his left shoulder, unleashing the Flying Forks, which transformed into five Blood Rainbows and stabbed towards the location of Cang Lingzi.

Next, he formed a hand seal and pointed upwards. The nine flames of Demonic Flame on his crown flew upwards, rapidly striking the colored lights above according to the positions of the Nine Palaces and the divisions of the Nine Heavens.

The flames might have seemed ordinary, but they were, in fact, the Demon Fire he had cultivated over a thousand years. His sobriquet as the Jiulei God came from this very fire—tremendously fearsome. Ashamed by his panicked flight from the North Sea after being frightened by Xin Ru Nun's Divine Talisman back to his Demon Palace, he had, with his father-in-law's assistance, refined these nine flames of Demonic Fire. Since then, wielding them had allowed him to be invincible in battles across the world, and he seldom used them lightly.

The nine flames of Demonic Fire merged into the Separation and Reunion Divine Light without causing any violent explosion or burning, and the Divine Light, solid as fortified steel, began to disintegrate. It shattered into mere wisps of pale and fading clouds that drifted away with the wind.

As for the five Blood Rainbows, which were the transformed Demon Forks, although they were launched first and moved quickly, they hadn't yet touched the Separation and Reunion Divine Light, which was dozens of yards ahead, before the nine flames of Demonic Fire showed their might. As the lights in front shattered and drifted apart, the five Blood Rainbows surged straight through, locking onto Cang Lingzi and shooting towards him.

What a formidable Demon Lord!

Cang Lingzi was shocked by this move; his Separation and Reunion Divine Light had never met its match since creation! And yet here his technique was broken by Jiulei God!

He dared not take it lightly and hastily used the Tianxin Sword to meet the five Demon Forks. The white sword light clashed with the crimson fork rainbows, and instantly they fought fiercely without respite.

As for Shi Sheng, he had originally taken advantage of the cover provided by the Separation and Reunion Divine Light to collect more than twenty Jiule Yin Thunders. But just as the protective glow shattered and dissipated, he saw the Witch charging towards him. Reacting quickly, he countered with the Taibai Split Light Sword.

The Witch was exceedingly ugly, and her stature was nearly twice that of Jiulei God. Just in height alone, Jiulei God would only come up to her chest. With broad shoulders and long limbs, a few cuts from her could divide into several Jiulei Gods. Her head was like that of a tiger, her face resembled an owl, her eyes were like green beans, with a hook nose and a sharp mouth like Thunder God, and her skin was as black as ink.

In fact, the Witch's skin was even darker than Song Xiangwa's, and her son, Hei Chou, was indeed believed to be the offspring of Jiulei God and Song Xiangwa because she had seldom shown herself in the world for hundreds of years. Song Xiangwa, on the other hand, often sneaked out with Jiulei God's disciples to play and relax, leading to the widespread rumors.

Not only was the Witch quite dark, her hair was green, and she appeared filthy and unkempt. With a fierce and terrifying appearance like a monster from mountains or seas, she wore a black robe that looked rather frightening.

Thankfully, Shi Sheng had seen all kinds of bizarre and strange monsters on the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, otherwise just the sudden onslaught of the Witch might have scared him stiff!

Facing a Demon Fork with the Taibai Split Light Sword, Shi Sheng's Mana was no match for the Witch's, but he had the Heavenly Heart Ring. Throwing it out, the ring specialized in breaking various Magic and capturing the Primordial Spirits of various Demon Lords... And the Witch he bumped into just happened to be one of the Three Corpse Incarnations. She was captured by two heart-shaped red and blue halos, and although she tried to resist and counter with her Demon Skills, the power from the two rings suddenly surged, the bi-colored lights flashed quickly, and she was absorbed into the rings. A pitch-black silhouette struggled briefly before vanishing into smoke.

The Witch's original body and the remaining two Incarnations had intended to assist her husband in pouncing on Cang Lingzi, but suddenly losing one Incarnation left her furious. She screeched and turned towards Shi Sheng, three black silhouettes like black lightning that flickered and surrounded Shi Sheng. They attacked simultaneously, closing in for a three-sided assault!
