"I am the descendant of the Xingtian Clan, the Great Witch of Changyang Mountain."

Since it was not a fight to the death, Wu Zhen decided to introduce himself in the manner of a Great Witch according to the customs of the Great Xia.

"Xingtian was originally an unnamed Celestial God under the banner of the Heavenly Emperor..."

"Yet he was beheaded by the Emperor in a contest for supremacy and buried at Changyang Mountain."

"The Celestial God severed his hand, the Heavenly Emperor severed his head..."

"Since then, he used his nipples as eyes, his belly button as a mouth, wielding a shield and axe in dance, known as ’Xingtian.’"

As Wu Zhen slowly strode past the Netherworld Demon God before him, he spoke of this history with extreme pride.

"After Xingtian died, the Changyang Clans inherited his will."

"Under the name of the ’Xingtian Clan,’ they joined the Great Xia, helping to guard the extreme western ruins."

"I was originally chosen by the tribe as the sixth Xingtian, but I abandoned this path, the shortcut to becoming a God."

"Because I was selected since childhood as the successor to the ninth Witch King and accepted the ideals of the Witch King."

"The path of the Celestial God is a road of no return; even living through thousands of springs and autumns cannot achieve immortality..."

"Even that incredibly talented Heavenly Emperor of ten thousand years ago perished in soul and body despite the legendary ’Immortal Grass,’ didn’t he?"

"So I charted a new course, forsaking the name of ’Xingtian Clan,’ pioneering the path of exorcising Gods and Demons."

At this point, Wu Zhen’s voice briefly paused.

"Decades before your birth, I traveled to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and resided for a time in the Guifang Kingdom."

"Because I heard there was a method to command Ghost Gods, which might enlighten me."

"Alas, the methods of Guifang are ultimately mere minor arts, unworthy of display."

"Until Wu Yi Shoots the Sky, when Gods and Demons fell."

"Only then did I hunt countless remains of Gods and Demons, perfecting this ’God Forging and Demon Refining Method.’"

Hearing this, Li Boyang nodded with a hint of realization.

So it turns out the myriad heretical ideas in the Guifang Kingdom were all due to Wu Zhen?

If one were to truly investigate, Wu Zhen’s influence might have contributed to the eventual downfall of the Guifang Kingdom at the hands of Wuzhiqi.

"God Forging and Demon Refining, indeed the name fits!"

Gazing up at the Twisted Demon God in the sky, Li Boyang couldn’t help but sigh.

"But when it comes to exorcising Gods and Demons, I’m quite adept at it too."

With a gentle snap of his fingers, the land beneath Li Boyang’s feet suddenly swelled.

Rumble...

In the span of barely a few breaths.

A Rock Giant, no less imposing than the Twisted Demon God, rose from the ground.

The giant stood several dozen feet tall, with a surface flowing with a magma-like substance.

These active energies formed a lively "Life Talisman."

While imbuing the Rock Giant with life, it also endowed it with an energy circulation hub matching its size.

"I call this ’Earth Escape Technique,’ a spell specifically for manipulating the land."

"Though usually, I prefer using it for dredging earth veins or fertilizing and irrigating..."

"In battles, it proves to be quite a convenient technique."

"In the future, I plan to promote this technique in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, what do you think of the idea?"

Standing atop the Rock Giant, Li Boyang, appearing like an ant in comparison, yet spoke in a booming voice.

"Compared to the remains of Gods, ordinary soil and rock are too fragile."

Seeing this, Wu Zhen decisively commanded the Twisted Demon God to attack.

Crack!

Accompanied by a sound akin to a mirror shattering.

The Twisted Demon God suddenly appeared where the Rock Giant stood, its body bizarrely overlapping with it.

Soon after, the Rock Giant had no chance to exhibit its divine power.

Its entire body shattered into pieces, becoming part of the Twisted Demon God.

"Folded Space?"

Watching the bizarre attack method with some surprise, Li Boyang quickly discerned the essence of the Twisted Demon God.

It shattered enemies through space distortion and folding; the larger the body, the harder to evade the Twisted Demon God’s attack.

"Then how about this?"

With a thought, Li Boyang launched his counterattack.

Those giant "remains" disrupted by the Twisted Demon God transformed, turning into small Tusked Porpoises rampaging inside it.

The Tusked Porpoises, ablaze with brilliant flames, bore proverbs emitting a crimson glow.

From afar, it seemed as if the sky was refracted by countless mirrors, appearing fragmented.

And within those fragmented skies, countless Tusked Porpoises rampaged.

They charged up, down, left, and right, seeming to collide any moment, yet dodged past each other into another mirrored dimension at the last moment.

...

"Twisted... Demon God?"

Also witnessing the Demon God’s summoning for the first time, the Xuansu Clan couldn’t conceal their inner shock.

It made space twist like a shattered mirror.

Their own body was part of the distorted space, any attempt to attack them would be warped and deflected by the fractured space.

The Xuansu Clan could hardly imagine how Wu Zhen managed to create such a Demon God.

Even more remarkable to the Xuansu Clan was Li Boyang’s response, equally ingenious.

In just a few probes, Li Boyang not only saw through the nature of the Twisted Demon God but also deciphered the patterns of its twisting through the Tusked Porpoises’ rampage within it.

"Seems you merely chanced upon the slaying of a God with space abilities."

When Li Boyang’s booming voice reached the Xuansu Clan’s ears, the entire battle situation was instantly reversed.

"Watch closely, this is the true essence of space abilities!"

He suddenly stepped forward, seemingly passing through the Twisted Demon God’s barrier, appearing directly in front of Wu Zhen.

"Shrinking the world to an inch, holding heaven and earth in hand."

He directed his hand towards Wu Zhen, who was within arm’s reach.

A mysterious yellow Sword Qi faintly appeared at Li Boyang’s fingertips.

If this were a life-or-death struggle, Wu Zhen, even if not dead, would not end well here.

"It’s the Huai River Witch’s Incantation Spell; I once saw some at the Dragon Maiden Temple upstream of the Huai River Plague..."

"It’s truly unexpected that such a method exists in this world, capable of altering natural phenomena through mere words."

Just as Li Boyang could swiftly grasp the essence of the Twisted Demon God.

Wu Zhen quickly noticed the faint golden circle beneath the other’s feet.

Through that circle, Li Boyang achieved the effect of shrinking the world to an inch.

"Proverbs are merely a medium; the carrier of the proverbs is key."

"Unfortunately, I haven’t yet cultivated a truly suitable carrier to completely stabilize this ’Qiankun Ring.’"

"Otherwise, I could merely cast the ’Qiankun Ring’ to shatter your Twisted Demon God."
