Shi Feiyang used a golden flower to drive away one demon, and when another demon tried to flee, he waved his ruler and a surge of Purple Qi blocked its path before the golden flower spun towards it.

The demon, terrified of the golden flower as if it were a venomous snake, shrieked at Shi Feiyang with a voice devoid of the demon's usual disdain for all creatures and its desire to devour, now filled with fear and grievance, like a child cornered by adults, crying out in despair.

At this point, Shi Feiyang was still unable to fully utilize the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler's wonderful capabilities, unable to capture or slay this mature Divine Demon, so he said, "Give me your umbrella and I will spare your life."

The demon, overjoyed, hurriedly threw the umbrella over.

Shi Feiyang took the umbrella from midair and sealed it with a spell. Fearing Shi Feiyang would change his mind, the demon urged him eagerly with shouts. Shi Feiyang then retracted the Purple Qi and the golden flower, and the demon, not daring to delay any longer, transformed into a streak of red light and fled at high speed.

While Shi Feiyang was driving away the two demons, Xiang Ji's Primordial Spirit had already escaped back to Roc Bay. He retrieved the umbrella, dived into the seabed, transformed back into the Black Dragon, and swam back near Yangjiao Island.

By then, Yangjiao Island was in utter chaos. Geng Kun had released his full firepower, launching 108 Divine Feather Golden Feather Arrows. He had seventy-two himself and had obtained thirty-six from Geng Peng. All were embedded in his wings, and when launched, each arrow could rival a Sword Immortal's Flying Sword. With 108 arrows firing simultaneously, the sky was filled with streaks of golden light several meters long, weaving into a dazzling net.

Hagenib too was leading his Divine Demons and disciples in a fierce attack from another direction.

Tie San had completely lost his sanity, his eyes bloodshot, bleeding from seven orifices, and in his frenzy, he recognized no one. With his right hand, he wielded seven Asura Blood Transformation Swords while his left hand cast Heavenly Conjunction Plague Sand. Dark light twisted around, and yellow sand filled the sky, attacking not only Geng Kun and Hagenib but also the Shaolin monks protecting him.

The Shaolin monks, under the leadership of Master Yuan Guo, formed the Eighteen Arhats Array. Each monk was enveloped in golden light, their heads, faces, hands, and feet shining with a metallic luster, almost like they were made of pure gold. They continuously connected their Buddha Light, holding Buddha Beads in their left hands and casting Dharma Flying Swords with their right hands, purely for defense.

Shi Feiyang swam back from the seabed and considered that he had no feud with anyone involved here, watching Hagenib, who seemed to be the worst offender, jumped out of the water, and released his inner core to attack him.

Geng Kun, seeing him, asked anxiously, "Where's Xiang Ji? And did you get that umbrella?"

Shi Feiyang replied, "Xiang Ji probably already took the umbrella back to Roc Bay. I was covering his escape, just took a hit from that demon monk with a Demon-Subduing Pestle."

Before Geng Kun could respond, Hagenib sneered loudly, "You beast, always arrogantly boasting overseas, unaware of the power of true Buddhist orthodoxy! I have already sent my Dharma Protectors and disciples to retrieve that umbrella. If you know what's good for you, convert now. I'll make you both into great Dharma Protectors under my command where you can cultivate and eventually achieve enlightenment. Otherwise, I will perform the Vajra Angry Eyes and cast you all into the eighteen levels of Hell!"

Right after he finished speaking, Geng Kun was about to retaliate when a young monk flew back from a distance in a great hurry. One of his arms was completely torn off at the shoulder, and only half of his left leg remained below the knee, he was covered in blood, and from afar, he was already crying out, "Master! Your Divine Demons have rebelled! The brothers, they've all been eaten by the Divine Demons!"

It turned out those two mightier Divine Demons were a type of Evil Spirits, more vicious and malevolent than specters. Once mobilized, they required some bloodshed as a harvest, and if thwarted, they would turn on their master.

They tore through Xiang Ji's flesh, ready to devour his flesh and absorb his soul, but were blocked by Shi Feiyang's Purple Qi and driven back by the Golden Flower. Their fierce spirit broken, they fled in disarray, coincidentally running into the disciple sent by Hagenib to meet them. If these two demons had come directly to Hagenib, with his great strength as a Dharma King, he could naturally have subdued them, but his disciple was useless.

The two demons went berserk, tearing Hagenib's sent disciples to pieces, chewing up their bones and swallowing their flesh raw, absorbing their souls completely—leaving not even a wisp of spirit behind, all except for Shang Xiyuan, who had earlier been tasked with leading these two demons to attack underwater. Possessing a Magical Treasure that could control demons, he barely escaped with his life.

The demons' Flying Escape was faster than Shang Xiyuan's. They attacked him along the way, tearing off one of his arms and half a leg. Upon seeing Hagenib, they showed no fear and, with a loud howl, transformed into two beams of blood light flying towards Hagenib, intending to tear him apart as well!

Meanwhile, driven by the scent of blood, the other six Divine Demons attacking Tie San also grew restless. Having fought for so long without subduing Tie San, their irritation increased. They, too, wanted to return and tear their master to pieces, quenching their thirst with his blood.

Hagenib, furious, raised his hand and summoned the Demon-Subduing Pestle, chanting a Secret Spell while forming a Dharma Seal with his hands. The pestle flew up into the sky, radiating thousands of golden lights, locking onto a demon and piercing one's head first, then moving to do the same to the other, skewering both demons like fishes, struggling futilely, stuck upon the pestle.

Geng Kun, watching from the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter. Suddenly, he flapped his wings, sending a myriad of fine filaments into the sky, turning them into Infinite Golden Stars and Silver Threads, striking Shang Xiyuan's body.

Shang Xiyuan, like a wounded child frantically running to his parents, was suddenly hit by the gold and silver threads, his body instantly exploding into a fireworks display of large patches of burning Star Fire.

Hagenib gritted his teeth in fury, "You beast, you're practically courting death!"

He formed Sealing with his hands, mumbling words as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood filled with True Qi, which made the Demon-Subduing Pestle flash intensely. The demons on it turned into two streaks of red light, swirling around the pestle, then merged into it, causing it to swell in size, its golden light now mixed with two streaks of blood, transforming from five sections to seven, with two fierce and terrifying demon heads added on top.

He raised the pestle again in the air, smashing it down once more, not targeting Geng Kun but instead aiming at the watching Shi Feiyang.

Knowing it would be difficult to kill Geng Kun, Hagenib decided to take out the Black Dragon first, severing one of Geng Kun's arms. He also saw that the Black Dragon Core was a treasure that he wanted to snatch to create a Demon Fire Divine Pearl.

Shi Feiyang, seeing the fierce attack, quickly spat out the Divine Fire Core to block it.

The Demon Monk, with his robust mana, had previously shown that the Divine Fire Core was at a disadvantage when confronting the Demon-Subduing Pestle, making it very difficult to hold off. It was even worse this time, as the core was pinned by the Pestle's tip, unable to spin any longer, its fire power greatly reduced. Shi Feiyang desperately tried to recall it into his body, but the core remained suspended in the air, motionless!

Taken aback, he wondered how to escape this predicament when suddenly Geng Kun made a move, firing one hundred and eight Divine Feather Golden Feather Arrows all at once at Hagenib, madly thrusting with them, also sending out thousands of gold and silver needles transformed from his feathers.

Hagenib, unable to defend with just Demon Fire Poison Sand, had to use the Demon-Subduing Pestle to block, allowing Shi Feiyang to finally retrieve his core.

As Geng Kun dueled the Demon Monk, he couldn't just stand by idly. This time, instead of using his core, he directly spewed fireballs, each as large as a cartwheel, fired continuously at Hagenib, shattering on impact, instantly exploding and releasing multitudes of Fire Bulls, Fire Horses, Fire Eagles, Fire Cranes, and a sky full of fiery animals pouncing towards Hagenib.

This greatly annoyed Hagenib, who, although unharmed, could not ignore it!
