Even threads seemed to pass through the Void, stretching into the distance, to pierce and drag over the withered leaves where the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King was hiding elsewhere.

In the sky filled with withered leaves, this Great Demon, for the first time, showed an expression of shock and fury, emitting a low roar unlike any human sound.

Xu Yuanzhen had once left behind two Spiritual Objects, which she entrusted to Lei Jun for Warming and Nurturing.

One of them was this horsetail whisk.

It was prepared specifically for the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King.

Although she had not managed to capture this Great Demon initially, she had long been preparing and refining the whisk, already devising some targeted methods.

While the horsetail whisk did not inflict severe damage on the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King, it was capable of temporarily freezing his proudest abilities of stealth, division, and even feigning death for a short period.

When Lei Jun raised the horsetail whisk, it was like sounding the horn of battle.

Tang Xiaotang looked at the horsetail whisk and pursed her lips, but her actions were not slow in the slightest.

With her at the center, vast golden brilliance spread out, forming an intensely hot small world that directly encompassed both the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King and Wei Qiyue, who had no time to evade!

It was Tang Xiaotang’s External Scenery of the Divine Court, the Pure Yang Realm.

"Thank you, Grandmaster," Yuan Mobai formally thanked Monk Faqing in front of the others.

But at the same time, he suddenly sped up, colliding head-on. He braved a hit empowered by his own Divine Court Middle Scenery, slamming Rong Guangchen into the External Scenery of the Divine Court unfolded by Tang Xiaotang.

Lei Jun ignored the distant Hong Jie and the North Abyss Divine Spear, instead swinging his sword to strike at the Taiyi Primordial Tower.

Tang Xiaotang’s Pure Yang Realm expanded further, intending to absorb the Taiyi Primordial Tower as well.

Fu Dongsen’s body was surrounded by his Lifebound Magical Treasures and Lifebound Magical Artifacts flying out.

He followed the Senluo path of abundant treasures and numerous techniques, an all-encompassing system. His array of distinct Lifebound Magical Treasures and Lifebound Magical Artifacts—pagodas, cauldrons, spears, swords, mirrors, and so on—was dazzling to behold. Yet, they were linked as one, corresponding to the eight trigrams: heaven, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, mountain, and lake.

At this moment, these treasures formed an array, protecting him and the Taiyi Primordial Tower from Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang.

Confronted with Tang Xiaotang’s Pure Yang Realm and the threat of Lei Jun’s Celestial Master’s Sword, Fu Dongsen maintained a serious expression as he formed spell seals.

Inside the Taiyi Primordial Tower, a jade plaque appeared. It emanated great light at this moment as countless Talisman Scriptures flowed out from it.

The jade plaque manifested an ethereal artistic conception, helping Fu Dongsen and the Taiyi Primordial Tower block for a moment.

In that instant, Tang Xiaotang could not draw them in. She was forced to temporarily abandon the attempt to prevent the already entrapped Thousand Leaves Butterfly King, Rong Guangchen, and Wei Qiyue from escaping.

Lei Jun glanced back at the Taiyi Primordial Tower and the jade plaque, then turned to Monk Faqing, nodding with a smile in greeting.

Monk Faqing returned the smile and nodded.

As the Pure Yang Realm closed, Lei Jun also leaped into it.

Hong Jie was not captured by the Pure Yang Realm, but she was also unable to aid Rong Guangchen and the others trapped within.

Xiao Xueting held the Mountain and River Sword. As a Martial Tao Expert, she could traverse short distances even faster than Hong Jie using her Immortal Traversal Heavenly Sea technique, making it difficult for Hong Jie to be distracted.

Meanwhile, the golden Mighty Celestial Dragon had once again approached the Taiyi Primordial Tower and begun to dismantle Fu Dongsen’s treasure array.

Disturbed by this, Fu Dongsen’s movements in shifting the Altar of Wanfa Sect noticeably slowed.

At the same time, within the Pure Yang Realm, Lei Jun’s movements suddenly accelerated.

Boiling a frog in warm water.

Now the water was boiling, and the frog was about to die.

The sudden appearance of the Solitary Eagle Khanate had taken everyone by surprise, causing the situation to change abruptly.

Indeed, Xu Yuanzhen was currently still in the East Sea Celestial Reason, and it was unknown when she would return.

The Solitary Eagle Khanate and Jiuli also did not know how long they could distract the Tang Imperial Court.

If the people from the Mortal Tao Country recognized the difficulty and chose to retreat, focusing on withdrawal instead of fighting to the death, they could still become a latent threat in the future.

In that case, I’ll give them a ruthless blow today!

Inside the Pure Yang Realm, everything was pure gold, with thunder and fire intertwined.

It was a world entirely of Pure Yang Immortal Thunder and Pure Yang True Fire.

A Pure Yang Sea.

Within it, the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King, Rong Guangchen, and Wei Qiyue all endured the assault of Tang Xiaotang’s Pure Yang Immortal Thunder and Pure Yang True Fire.

At this moment, the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King was furious. He tried to disperse his body but failed.

Yet his foundation was still solid. A great amount of black mist emerged from his body’s surface, resisting the Pure Yang Immortal Thunder and Pure Yang True Fire as he charged recklessly, moving incredibly fast.

This Great Demon was finally fighting for his life. His destructive power was astonishing, making Tang Xiaotang’s Pure Yang Realm seem to teeter on the verge of collapse, as if it could be breached at any moment.

The Primordial Magnet Force began to gather around Lei Jun’s body.

But after a quick assessment, he realized the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King was currently moving too fast to easily lock onto his form.

Tang Xiaotang, however, as the master of the Pure Yang Realm, coldly watched the Great Demon while beckoning to Lei Jun.

Lei Jun waved his hand, and the Celestial Master’s Sword transformed into a purple light, arriving beside Tang Xiaotang.

Tang Xiaotang did not take it. Instead, she formed spell seals with both hands, bringing them together before her chest.

A massive amount of golden lightning and flames converged, centering on the Celestial Master’s Sword.

The golden lightning and fire solidified, ultimately transforming into a Divine Vessel Giant Ship one hundred zhang long!

In the Pure Yang Sea, a Pure Yang Boat.

The Divine Vessel Giant Ship appeared immense, but it navigated the Pure Yang Sea as nimbly and swiftly as a fish.

It was even faster than the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King, renowned for his speed!

It was not that the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King had slowed, but rather that this was, after all, Tang Xiaotang’s home ground.

Thus, the Divine Vessel Giant Ship was seen cleaving through the golden "waves," heading straight for the Great Demon.

The Pure Yang Boat, larger than the giant butterfly himself, rammed its bow hard into the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King, pinning him and forcing him to voyage through the golden sea, unable to break free.

Lei Jun watched Tang Xiaotang’s External Scenery of the Divine Court with continuous admiration.

A thought suddenly struck him.

Sword Qi surged behind him, and a massive, fierce sword light aimed straight for his heart at that very moment!
