Chapter 7: The Twelve Diabolical Spirits

  As the Jiǔ Qū Huáng Quán Great Array disappeared, Pangu seemed to have undergone a true test of life and death. Although he used the Kāi Tiān Fǔ (Heaven-Opening Axe) to its limits, perhaps it was a case of "breaking down to rebuild", his body couldn't withstand further transformation, but the Jiǔ Zhuǎn Jīn Shēn (Nine-Turn Golden Body) Decision started up again, re-refining Pangu's physical form. His magical powers finally stabilized at the level of Huányuán Shèng Rén (Mixed-Origin Saint), and his understanding of the Tao took another step forward. He also gained a deeper understanding of the Kāi Tiān Sān Shì (Heaven-Opening Three Styles).

  After all, the great war had just ended, and Pangu's aura carried a strong sense of injury, which made the already frenzied divine demon even more excited. It turned out that this destined person was not invincible after all, but also vulnerable to injury, and now it seemed that he was quite badly hurt.

  But the gods and demons also knew in their hearts that the other party's realm was not low, and one or two individuals would definitely go to deliver food. The gods and demons who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation alone woke up a lot after the battle at Huangquan.

  This time, thirty or forty people slowly gathered together, a mighty procession heading towards Pangu, Xuan and Huang. A great battle is about to break out.

  But the fact is always cruel, and the number of people does not necessarily represent an advantage. Moreover, the gods have different minds, some even have ulterior motives, but everyone is still willing to make an effort.

  "Pangu, we, the multitude of demon gods, have come here to engage in a decisive battle with you. Today is the day of your downfall."

  "You think you can take me on? A motley crew like you? I advise you to leave quickly, or else it will be unclear who will fall!" Pangu said proudly, his disdainful gaze sweeping across the surrounding Chaos Demons.

  The thirty Chaotic Evil Gods were instantly enraged upon hearing this.

  Only to see a leading demon god say, "Pangu, you have the realm of mixed yuan and perfection, but in the battle with Huangquan, you also suffered an injury that was not light. Do you think you can withstand our siege of thirty people?"

  The surrounding Chaos Deities burst into loud laughter, ridiculing each other's ignorance and arrogance.

  Pangu smiled faintly and said, "It's enough to deal with you. Since you've come seeking death on your own, don't blame others!" After finishing speaking, he tightly grasped the divine axe in his hand and loudly roared at the opposing demon gods, "Which of you dares to fight me?"

  This roar used the law of supreme force, and in an instant, it was like a strong gust of wind blowing past the crowd of demons, and some people with weak will even retreated three steps.

  "You're really arrogant, Pangu! Since you're eager to die, I'll fulfill your wish. Fellow Taoists, let's go and kill the one who's destined to die!" With his incitement, thirty demon gods instantly mobilized their full strength, unleashing thirty different divine abilities at Pangu.

  Pangu saw this and laughed "Haha" and said "Good, good." After finishing speaking, he suddenly shouted loudly, raised his divine axe, and started the first move of Opening Heaven.

  A mysterious trajectory, because this is in the midst of chaos, the power to split the sky is far greater than at any other time, chaos is instantly cleaved, and there is a tendency for clear and turbid separation. The axe shadow flashes towards the Chaos Demon God!

  "Ah!" The miserable cries continued, and with just one axe, several demons in the direction of the axe's shadow were killed, their bodies and spirits destroyed! Of course, the foundation of the Great Dao was silently absorbed by Qinglian.

  Xuan Huang was also quietly watching all of this, he himself had almost no means of attack, even if he did, he couldn't bear to take the initiative to slaughter each other. He knew that these demons in front of him posed no danger to Pangu. Pangu's weakness might be that when faced with formations, he didn't know what to do, but as long as Xuan Huang was willing to help him, there were very few who could pose a threat to him. As long as Pangu was not in danger, it was better for Xuan Huang to watch from afar.

  The second move of "Opening Heaven" is "Splitting the Earth", and another miserable cry was heard.

  The third move of the Heaven-Opening Scripture, "Sky Splitting", had already claimed the lives of over a dozen gods and demons. The remaining gods and demons, although urged on by some, became hesitant to advance, let alone launch an attack. Both sides fell into a tacit understanding, still surrounding Pangu, but one side advancing while the other retreated, always maintaining a certain distance.

  Later, the people who rushed to the scene didn't understand what was going on and didn't dare to act rashly. There were also some gods and demons who were not willing to be left out, their own divine powers having been easily countered by the opponent, who with one swing of his axe had injured or killed several people. Most chose to follow everyone else in surrounding Pangu. This gathering was hundreds of people strong, and within a short period of time, dozens of gods and demons were annihilated. Pangu looked at the vast crowd, sighing bitterly in his heart - if these people really worked together, perhaps they wouldn't even need divine powers, just their sheer numbers would be enough to crush him to death.

  At this time, twelve demon gods hurried over, the twelve people almost stepped in unison, with no difference in appearance, seemingly wanting to share a cup of soup. Someone saw this and greeted them, but they didn't even acknowledge it.

  The twelve people stood upright in their respective positions and shouted: "Formation, the Twelve Heavenly Gods' Great Formation" Even the demons were surrounded by it.

  But as soon as they heard that the Twelve Gods of Evil were going to set up a grand and mysterious array, all the demon gods suddenly became hot-blooded. This was a great way to deal with Pangu, and it seemed like everyone knew about Pangu's miserable situation in the Jiuyou Huangquan Array. Haha, Pangu, you're definitely going to die this time!

  But the gods and demons suddenly felt a chill run down their spines as they discovered that they were also within the formation.

  Twelve Chaotic Demon Gods stood up in a mysterious formation, shouting in unison. The beast-like roar spread throughout the chaos, representing the twelve fierce and cruel laws of killing that began to take effect.

  As the power of the brutal law ran, an endless killing aura appeared in the formation. Under the influence of this killing aura, all the demon gods in the formation had a strong desire to kill rising in their hearts. This desire gradually controlled their minds, and each demon god went mad, shouting "Kill, kill..." as they hacked at each other.

  However, there were two who remained awake. Pangu had the Chaotic Green Lotus, and with a swirl of green energy, all troubles and evils were dispelled. There was also Xuan Huang, who arrived at Pangu's side by chance. The energy of Xuan Huang was the most upright in the world, capable of breaking through all evil and false energies.

  Pangu gazed at the red aura of slaughter in the great formation and said with a lingering fear, "This time we'll have to rely on our Daoist friends again."

  Xuan Huang slightly nodded his head, this formation seems to be the most powerful killing array, and it seems to be a bit difficult.

  As more and more demons fell, the killing intent within the formation grew thicker, and the formation's momentum became stronger.

  "The enemy is gathering and slaughtering aura, enhancing the power of their great formation."

  As the killing aura gradually intensified, the essence of the twelve chaotic demon gods began to slowly merge. A huge, faint virtual shadow appeared above the heads of the twelve demon gods, and an endless, majestic aura instantly spread throughout the chaos.

  "This is" Pangu was somewhat surprised, his eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered to himself: "Could it be the aura of the 'Great Way'?"

  The twelve chaotic demon gods can directly borrow the power of 'Tao' through the 'Twelve Heavenly God Killing Great Formation', and the breath of Tao also directly promoted the gradual fusion of the twelve demon gods' essence and spirit.

  The gradually merged essence and spirit formed the embodiment of the Great Way, and the boundless law power scattered between the movements of lifting hands and feet. In an instant, a mysterious force descended in the midst of obscurity. Under this force, it seemed that all the rules of the world were not worth mentioning.

  The Great Dao transformed, appearing among the frenzied demonic gods. Its attack was extremely simple, yet its power was boundless. The demonic gods, who had traded their physical abilities for powerful magic under the influence of the aura of slaughter, were completely unable to counterattack. The scattered demonic gods turned into an aura of slaughter that was absorbed by the Great Dao's transformation.

  That great Dao transformed and didn't know why it didn't attack Pangu and Xuan Huang, even when passing by their side, it only took a glance and went to attack other demon gods.

  The entire array gradually calmed down, Pangu and Xuanyuan looked at each other, both of them were shocked and bewildered. Perhaps what was destined to come would eventually come.

  "Pangu, dare you fight me?" The embodiment of the Great Dao seemed to have extinguished the other demon gods in the formation, and the aura of the Great Dao on his body became even more intense.

  Pangu slowly stood up, exerting his divine power of Heaven and Earth, growing to the same size as the embodiment of the Great Way, shouting: "What dare you not!"

  Xuan Huang slowly stood up, staring at the Da Dao incarnation and said: "You are not the Dao, but just continuing the Dao's aura, intimidating the group of demons. Although you have mastered many laws, they are incomplete, only knowing the surface. What is the Great Dao? It's not about using laws, but controlling and creating laws. The 3,000 demon gods correspond to the 3,000 laws, each law can be said to be extremely strong, but there are also laws that can restrain them. You have utilized the restraining properties of the laws, achieving a one-hit kill against other demon gods. Can you find the divine art that completely restrains Pangu's power?"

  "Haha, indeed worthy of the heavens and earth, it's true. I didn't think about defeating Pangu either, just wanted to have a battle with him. But also not without reason, the Great Dao's divine power is invincible, only speed can't be broken. If the speed law in the primordial chaos were also applied, perhaps Pangu wouldn't be easy to deal with either. Moreover, we twelve godly demons are born with extraordinary physical bodies, and only cultivate our flesh bodies. Fellow daoists also cultivate the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique, it's a good opportunity to exchange and verify with fellow daoists."

  "Alright, I'll test your speed and physical strength." Xuan Huang's words made Pan Gu realize that he was talking about himself, wanting him to be fearless in battle. He vaguely felt that the Speed Law had a greater impact on him. If even the superficial Speed Law couldn't pass this test, how could he still talk about proving his way with force?

  Perhaps the closer to the Great Way, the simpler the fighting style of each demon god is. As the saying goes, the Great Way is simple. The incarnation of the Twelve Gods' formation is half a beat faster than Pangu's, and every punch is ahead of his opponent, but he also fears Pangu's fists, so he can only retreat quickly once he succeeds in a sneak attack. Pangu is always on the receiving end of the beating.

  Xuan Huang watched the two people fighting. Pangu was indeed no match for his opponent, and didn't even have a chance to touch him, always being passively beaten. This speed law was indeed extraordinary.

  Pangu felt pretty good, although the opponent was fast, his own maximum magical power rotation of nine turns of golden body decision only suffered a bit of skin pain, which didn't matter to him. The problem was how to find a way to attack the opponent effectively.
