The belated arrival of the east wind should be seen as the will of heaven, heralding the downfall of Chiyou. The million-strong armies continue their fierce battle on the ground, although a third of the soldiers from both sides have already perished. Yet, the momentum of slaughter shows no sign of weakening. The forces of Yan and Huang are positioned to the southeast, driving their assault even more fiercely with the aid of the wind. Conversely, Chiyou's soldiers are immediately affected by the adverse conditions of the sandstorm, evident in the fatigue plaguing them. Some unlucky souls even find themselves blinded by the swirling sands in the midst of battle. The situation has now fully unfolded in the direction recorded in the annals of history. The showdown in the sky between the two sides, deciding victory in battle and the course of history, has begun.
Fu Xi, observing the ground, finds his own forces in a desperate passive situation without the assistance of the Angels of Fire. This is a scenario he had never envisioned. What surprises him even more is that the three individuals surrounding him are the first to launch an attack.
The Flame Emperor brandishes his heavy sword, thrusting directly at Fu Xi's chest, while at the same time, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, wielding twin swords, sweeps low to strike at Fu Xi's legs. Although Wang Dashi lacks a weapon, he is the most dangerous among the three. With palms as swords, he conjures elemental swords measuring about two meters in length each. Raising himself to a height above Fu Xi's head, he strikes with both swords aimed at Fu Xi's skull. In terms of combat prowess, Fu Xi, the chief of the giant clan, is truly formidable. Despite the simultaneous attacks from the three, Fu Xi skillfully parries their assaults, despite their mismatched agility and dexterity with his colossal frame. However, Fu Xi's ominous premonition becomes more pronounced. He distinctly feels that the opponents' aura is stronger than in any previous battle, with multiple mysterious strongmen among them. Yet, as a powerful warrior accustomed to victories, Fu Xi cannot easily give up resistance. Though the hope of winning is slim, Fu Xi engages in a desperate counterattack, making it difficult for any opponent to gain an advantage easily. Waves of aura, like mountains, envelop Fu Xi as he unleashes a beastly counterattack. Leveraging his height and long arms, he forces the Flame Emperor and the others into a difficult situation. The two sides engage in an evenly matched aerial battle, circling each other.
Meanwhile, Chiyou is also embroiled in a fierce struggle. The heavy sword in the hands of the Yellow Emperor is indeed formidable, a testament to the renowned martial prowess of Xuanyuan Shi. Pillar's combat abilities are evidently the weakest among the four, yet he is a very meticulous and cunning individual. Keeping a certain distance, Pillar utilizes magic to launch attacks. As long as Chiyou and the other three do not overlap in position, he immediately responds with spells like Thunderbolt and Hand of Lightning. Apart from the Yellow Emperor and Pillar, Yue Nannan is undoubtedly a deadly figure. Despite her gentle appearance, her combat skills, coupled with the use of elemental powers, surpass even that of a Sword Immortal. If that were the extent of it, Chiyou wouldn't be concerned. As the titled God of War, Chiyou's displayed abilities are incomparable to Fu Xi's. Even the chief commanders of the Devils from the Fire Angels bow in reverence upon seeing Chiyou. It's like daydreaming to think one can make a demon from hell bow without sufficient strength! Yet, Chiyou has achieved it, proving his immense strength. However, today this powerful figure, even the demons bow to, encounters calamity because among his opponents is a versatile new-generation powerhouse, Tang Xiaojie, wielding the divine weapon Extreme Heaven Blade. With the domineering power of the Extreme Heaven Blade, Tang Xiaojie is capable of single-handedly restraining Chiyou, combined with the participation of the Yellow Emperor and Yue Nannan, two formidable experts, in the group fight. This makes Chiyou, for the first time in his life, feel the need to exert all his strength to cope. Despite his pride and arrogance, Chiyou shows no obvious disadvantage even when facing such opponents. What infuriates him the most is Pillar's guerrilla warfare. In Chiyou's eyes, Pillar's abilities are evidently inferior to the three he is engaged with, yet his opportunistic tactics constantly distract him, preventing him from fully concentrating and unleashing his full potential. As a seasoned God of War, Chiyou seeks opportunities in battle, seeing no unbeatable opponents. Even if his opponents are a combination of fighters;
Two more hours have passed, and the entire battlefield begins to change. Chiyou's forces on the ground gradually give up resistance. Many warriors are exhausted, others are demoralized, and some old warriors realize that their army has been completely surrounded by the enemy. Those who are still making symbolic resistance do so because they see their king still undefeated in the sky. They still have hope, or perhaps they fear that if they give up resistance, once their king achieves victory, they will face an even more dismal outcome than defeat.
In the air, Fu Xi unleashes his ultimate combat technique, the Godly Axe Possession Technique. In this move, Fu Xi channels his elemental power from each hand into his axes, then sends the axes flying out and controls them telekinetically to automatically attack the enemy. The flying axes move like phantoms in the air, with cunning angles of attack and incredible speed, causing significant trouble for the Flame Emperor and the others. One flying axe attacks head-on towards the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who manages to evade the attack by leaning back in mid-air, but as soon as she straightens up, the flying axe circles back from behind and aims for her back. At the same time, the Grandmaster unleashes a sword strike to deflect the flying axe aimed at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's back. Another flying axe, deflected by the Grandmaster, then attacks the Flame Emperor from below. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, seeing this, throws her precious sword into the air to intercept the flying axe aimed at the Flame Emperor's legs, diverting its path. Yet another flying axe, redirected downwards, now aims for the Grandmaster. In a moment of chaos, the three individuals find themselves scrambling to deal with the flying axes. However, Fu Xi's control over the axes, which requires his focused mental concentration, leaves him unable to participate in direct combat. From an effectiveness standpoint, the flying axes clearly have the upper hand. However, in doing so, Fu Xi, like a computer operating a command device, loses not only his attacking power but also significantly reduces his defensive capabilities. Seizing the opportunity when the flying axe aimed at his legs closes in, the Grandmaster wastes no time and flies towards Fu Xi at full speed. As he approaches within three meters of Fu Xi, the Grandmaster executes a sharp turn, transitioning from facing Fu Xi head-on to facing him sideways. At the same time, the Grandmaster extends his hands, conjuring two powerful beams of fifth-level aura, one aimed at Fu Xi's abdomen and the other at the flying axe closing in. The destructive power of fifth-level aura beams is such that no creature can withstand a direct impact. Fu Xi, seeing the beams of aura
Perhaps it was seeing Master Wang arrive just in time that made Xiao Jie a bit excited. He wielded the Extreme Heaven Blade and unleashed six sword qi attacks straight at Chi You. Xiao Jie's own strength allowed him to instantly cast third-level sword qi, but with the enhancement of the Extreme Heaven Blade, each sword qi had the power of a fifth-level attack. Even the mighty Chi You did not dare to take them head-on. Tang Xiaojie was the only person on the battlefield that Chi You truly dreaded. However, the frenzied Chi You would not retreat in the face of any enemy. He swung his heavy sword, sending out six elemental spirit snakes to forcibly clash with the six fifth-level sword qi. Yue Nannan gathered her strength and cast a Holy Light of Exorcism towards Chi You. Chi You, with no way to dodge, extended his right hand and released a Cross Firework from his palm to block the Holy Light of Exorcism. Immediately after, the Yellow Emperor rose and struck downward with a heavy sword aimed at Chi You's head. Chi You tilted his head, using the horn on his forehead to deflect the heavy sword. Just as Chi You caught his breath, two beams of battle qi shot from Master Wang's eyes—this was the most concealed skill among the Sword Immortal's battle qi abilities, the Sky Light Battle Shot. To say Chi You truly deserved the title of War God, he could still react to this sudden Sky Light Battle Shot. He held his heavy sword horizontally in front of him, one hand gripping the hilt while the other pushed against the blade, using it as a shield to block the Sky Light Battle Shot. Just as Chi You was about to counterattack, Xiao Jie started his assault again, repeating the previous attack. The same offensive cycle repeated once more. Chi You was incredibly formidable; even under the combined strong attacks of everyone, he managed to hold his ground.

No one knew how long the battle on the ground had raged, but the sounds of slaughter were growing fainter. The entire land of Zhuolu was stained with blood. The Yanhuang army had firmly secured victory. Of Chi You's forces, apart from the fallen soldiers, two-thirds of the survivors had surrendered. Only less than eighty thousand remained, fighting and fleeing simultaneously, no longer caring that their king was still besieged by powerful enemies.
The sky gradually darkened. The magical volleys in the sky became the Yanhuang army's premature celebration of their victory, like a fireworks display. The proud Chi You reluctantly accepted the fate of defeat. However, he would not surrender. He conceived a plan to escape the battlefield with his subordinates. If he could shake off those entangling him and return to his remaining troops, he could use the Qingyan Circulation Method to lead a group of soldiers to escape instantly, leaving him a chance to return stronger. Having made up his mind, Chi You took a hit from Master Wang's Palm Thunder, then grasped his sword with both hands and swung it forcefully. A roll of thunder sounded, and light waves appeared in the air. After the light waves trembled, dozens of elemental spirit snakes shot towards the Yellow Emperor and others. No one expected Chi You to have the strength to counterattack in such a situation, catching them off guard. By the time they dealt with this magical attack, Chi You had already flown towards his remaining troops, chanting an incantation incomprehensible to the others.
"Not good, it's the Great Circulation Spell! He's going to use the Qingyan Circulation Method to escape with his troops!" The Yellow Emperor said urgently.
At the same time, another incantation reached everyone's ears. It was Tang Xiaojie's incantation for the Sea of Ice. Chi You's magical spirit snakes had injured Yue Nannan's left shoulder. Seeing Yue Nannan's pained expression, Tang Xiaojie was furious, completely furious. With the incantation, elemental storms roared above Chi You's troops in the distance.
Chi You landed among his troops. Seeing their king, the soldiers' spirits were instantly lifted. Chi You finished his incantation, black smoke billowing from his body and spreading out. Xiao Jie also completed his incantation. The elemental storms above Chi You's troops transformed into countless beams of cold light that poured down. Instantly, the black smoke turned into steam. The army of over eighty thousand, stretching for miles, was hit by the cold light. In a moment, the ground was covered with over eighty thousand ice sculptures of soldiers. Among them were heavy sword wielders, stick holders, and some who had fallen and were trying to rise. Among them was also a five-meter-tall figure with a single horn on his head.
Another flash of cold light spread from the center of the ice-encased army outward. Wherever the cold light reached, the ice sculptures exploded like mines, mixed with frozen blood chunks. This was the super magic skill, the Forbidden Spell: Sea of Ice, defying the natural order. Ordinary magic practitioners could not cast such a spell without thirty minutes of elemental power gathering and incantation. But Xiao Jie was different. This skill was bestowed upon him through the Three Talent Empowerment, making it his innate skill. With the incantation taught by Master Yuandun, it became a truly powerful Forbidden Spell. This earth-shattering power changed the Yellow Emperor's view of Xiao Jie. Now, in his eyes, Xiao Jie was a divine envoy sent by the heavens to help him defeat his formidable enemy. However, Xiao Jie had no time to bask in this adoration. He flew straight to Yue Nannan's side, casting a healing spell upon the beautiful woman. On the battlefield, everyone was in awe of Tang Xiaojie's display of the super Forbidden Spell. Some soldiers knelt on the ground, praising the divine power.
Yue Nannan looked at Tang Xiaojie's anxious expression, feeling sweet inside. Under the healing spell, her wounds healed at a visibly rapid pace.
"Everyone, come quickly! Chi You isn't dead!" The Yellow Emperor shouted as he flew towards the area ravaged by the Sea of Ice.
Everyone was startled by his words. Following the direction the Yellow Emperor flew, they saw a five-meter-tall figure shakily rising from the pile of shattered ice.
After the initial shock, everyone rushed towards Chi You.
Chi You was incredibly resilient. What kind of being was he? The power of the Forbidden Spell could annihilate all life. How could he still be alive?
Once again surrounding Chi You, the group saw him laugh despairingly and say, "I never expected, Huang, that you could enlist such a powerful person. His move was a textbook example of a super Forbidden Spell. In theory, no life should survive a Forbidden Spell. Hahaha, but I'm an exception. This is the first time in my life I've been directly struck by a Forbidden Spell."
Seeing Chi You in this state, everyone was momentarily stunned, not knowing what to do next.
The Yellow Emperor was the first to come to his senses and said to Chi You, "Your strength is known to all. To be fair, no one can match you in battle. But you are cruel by nature, waging war incessantly. Today's outcome is the will of heaven, and it's your own doing. Today, I will act on behalf of heaven to eliminate you, the demon who brings endless suffering to all beings." With that, the Yellow Emperor lunged forward to slay Chi You.
"Wait, Huang. Leave him to me," said the Yan Emperor, descending from the sky, tears clearly visible in his eyes.
Seeing the Yan Emperor, the Yellow Emperor and Master Wang simultaneously asked, "How is she?" The Yellow Emperor's anxious expression spoke volumes about his concern.
"She is gone. Before she left, she told me to make sure to kill Chi You, to eliminate this threat to all beings, leaving him no chance to rise again. She also asked me to tell you, Huang, that her heart has always belonged to you!" The Yan Emperor finished speaking, tears streaming down his face again.
The Yellow Emperor also cried, silently. Hot tears flowed freely down his resolute face.
"Let's do it together. This is our shared responsibility," said the Yellow Emperor, looking at the Yan Emperor.
The Yan Emperor nodded, drawing the two swords used by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman from his back, and walked towards Chi You.
As the Yellow Emperor turned to face Chi You with his heavy sword, Xiao Jie called out to him, "Use this. Ordinary weapons might not kill him." Xiao Jie handed the Extreme Heaven Blade to the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor nodded at Xiao Jie, taking the divine weapon and striding towards Chi You.
Although Chi You could still stand, he no longer had the strength to fight. No matter how strong his body, he could not withstand the strike of a Forbidden Spell. Surviving the Forbidden Spell without dying instantly was already a broken myth. But today, he was destined to disappear within this myth. The Yan Emperor's two short swords deeply pierced Chi You's sides, and purple-red blood flowed from the wounds. Chi You, unwilling to give up, tried to resist, but the Yellow Emperor gave him no chance to commit further atrocities. The divine weapon, the Extreme Heaven Blade, sliced through the air with a howl, and with a swift motion, the Yellow Emperor decapitated Chi You on the battlefield of Zhuolu, witnessed by Tang Xiaojie, Yue Nannan, Master Wang, and Zhuzi.
As Chi You's head rolled to the ground, they saw a wisp of blue smoke rise from the severed neck and gradually dissipate into the sky. As the smoke completely vanished, a curse echoed from the sky: "I will return, and next time, I will come back with my allies. You who watch me fall today, you will all become the prey whose souls I will devour."
