The Three Yang Demon Venerable and the Thunder Peng Demon Venerable attacked simultaneously. The Thunder Peng Demon Venerable was entangled by the human Golden Immortal formation, but this formation could only last for half an hour.
Therefore, the battle had to conclude within that timeframe.
Xuan Tian Dao Venerable faced the Three Yang Demon Venerable. After agreeing on a plan with Xiao Fei, he suddenly unleashed a seven-colored lotus platform, emitting a radiant glow.
Previously, he had used this Dao artifact to successfully tie down both the Thunder Peng Demon Venerable and the Mountain Yang Demon Venerable, two supreme powerhouses, allowing Xiao Fei to escape.
This time, he deployed the artifact again, but solely against the Three Yang Demon Venerable. Naturally, its power was even greater.
The seven-colored lotus platform radiated a seven-colored light that permeated hundreds of miles around.
Wherever this light reached, space was sealed, and all living beings were immobilized.
A leaf, dislodged by the wind and drifting in the air, was frozen in place. A frog on the ground, poised to leap, remained suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
Similarly, the Three Yang Demon Venerable was pinned in the air by this seven-colored radiance.
"This move again!"
As a supreme powerhouse, the Three Yang Demon Venerable was not easily subdued.
Discovering that Xuan Tian Dao Venerable had used the same tactic to restrain him, he became furious. A surge of violent power erupted from his body.
The surrounding space that had imprisoned him shattered, and the light began to recede.
At this moment, the seven-colored lotus platform in the air slowly rotated, and the emitted seven-colored light gradually contracted inwards.
As the light converged, the restraining force intensified. The Three Yang Demon Venerable, who had just broken free of the spatial confinement and gained some mobility, was once again immobilized in the air.
It was at this precise moment that Xiao Fei unleashed the yellow gourd he held.
All the immortal energy within his body was poured into the gourd.
A powerful suction emanated from the gourd's spout, immediately drawing the Three Yang Demon Venerable towards it.
As the Three Yang Demon Venerable's body drew closer and closer to his yellow gourd, Xiao Fei remained fully focused, daring not to slacken.
However, at that very instant, the Three Yang Demon Venerable's body exploded, splitting into three.
His original imposing form with three heads and six arms transformed into three gaunt demon gods and youths, appearing in different locations.
These three figures materialized at the edge of the seven-colored light, on the verge of escaping the lotus platform's restraint.
Xuan Tian Dao Venerable was now resolute, determined to help Xiao Fei subdue the Three Yang Demon Venerable.
The success or failure of the human race's great war against the demons hinged on this moment.
If the Three Yang Demon Venerable could be captured in this battle, the human race would surely achieve ultimate victory.
But if this fiend could not be contained, the demon alliance, with its two supreme powerhouses, would remain an insurmountable obstacle for the human race.
Xuan Tian Dao Venerable's body also suddenly burst forth, transforming into vital essence that plunged directly into the seven-colored lotus platform suspended in the void.
At this point, his body and soul had completely merged with the lotus platform.
This was a forbidden technique that Xuan Tian Dao Venerable had never employed since acquiring the Dao artifact.
Regardless of the outcome of this endeavor, he would require a long period of recuperation to recover.
In an instant, the lotus platform's power surged, its radiance intensified, once again immobilizing the Three Yang Demon Venerable in the void.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Fei did not hesitate. He spat a mouthful of vital blood onto the gourd, further amplifying its suction force.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
With two consecutive sounds, two of the Three Yang Demon Venerable's bodies were drawn into the gourd.
Only one body of the Three Yang Demon Venerable remained, but Xiao Fei's immortal energy was completely depleted; he could not muster another drop.
Concurrently, the seven-colored lotus platform controlled by Xuan Tian Dao Venerable could no longer hold. Its seven-colored light gradually dimmed.
The body of the Three Yang Demon Venerable trapped within began to loosen, on the verge of breaking free.
What to do?
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Fei prepared to emulate Xuan Tian Dao Venerable's action, self-detonating his vital blood and soul to power the yellow gourd.
His current clone possessed Golden Immortal cultivation; self-destruction would not result in death, merely severe depletion of his energy.
However, before he could detonate, the remaining body of the Three Yang Demon Venerable moved.
This body transformed into a streak of black light. Xiao Fei's vision blurred, and it directly plunged into the yellow gourd.
Xiao Fei had initially expected this body to flee, but instead, it had voluntarily entered the yellow gourd.
Was the Three Yang Demon Venerable attempting suicide?
Such a supreme powerhouse would surely not be so reckless.
Xiao Fei's divine sense probed into the yellow gourd. Inside, he saw the three bodies of the Three Yang Demon Venerable that he had collected.
They had now rejoined, reforming into a majestic, three-headed, six-armed figure.
In the past, others captured by him would fall into a dormant state, motionless, until the yellow gourd refined them into blood.
But the Three Yang Demon Venerable within his gourd was different; he was active and vigorous.
The yellow gourd was incapable of suppressing the Dao mastered by the Three Yang Demon Venerable.
As Xiao Fei's divine sense peered in, the Three Yang Demon Venerable seemed to sense his attention.
He raised his three heads within the gourd to face Xiao Fei, a cruel smile spreading across his features, sending a shiver down Xiao Fei's spine.
Then, a beam of black light shot from between the Three Yang Demon Venerable's heads, striking the gourd's wall and corroding a small black spot.
However, as a congenital treasure, the yellow gourd possessed self-healing capabilities. The tiny black spot on its wall quickly mended and vanished.
Undeterred, the Three Yang Demon Venerable continued his efforts, attempting to bore through the wall with his Dao.
He was actually trying to drill his way out of the gourd.
Initially, only a portion of the Three Yang Demon Venerable's body had been captured by the yellow gourd. To rescue his remaining parts, his final body had voluntarily entered the gourd.
With all three bodies reunited, reforming into the three-headed, six-armed form, his strength was greater, and his chances of escape were naturally higher.
Fortunately, the yellow gourd was also in the process of refining the Three Yang Demon Venerable's body. Now, it was a race to see who would succeed first.
Gradually, the black spot on the gourd wall grew larger.
Simultaneously, one of the Three Yang Demon Venerable's arms began to dissolve, turning into blood.
Xiao Fei watched this unfold, feeling helpless. His anxiety was of no use; he could not assist the gourd in its refining speed.
He simply sat on the ground, cradling the yellow gourd, and popped several pills into his mouth to hasten his recovery.
On the other side, the seven-colored lotus platform floating in the void gradually dimmed and receded. A phantom figure emerged from the lotus platform, gradually solidifying in the air.
Following this battle, Xuan Tian Dao Venerable's strength had significantly declined. His face was pale, his breathing unstable, appearing as if he had overexerted himself.
Just then, a small crack appeared on his gourd, and a black light shot out from it.
"Hahahaha… I depart! This debt, I shall repay in the future!"
The black light, embodying the Three Yang Demon Venerable, vanished into the horizon amidst his laughter.
