In a moment of crisis, the seal of the Primordial Battlefield was broken, and Lu Fan's eyes lit up. However, he was stunned by what he saw. Not only were his own people rushing in from outside, but also tens of thousands of Asura tribesmen.
Following closely, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, Supreme Old Master, Nuwa, and Fairy Yunxiao also broke through. Among them was a red figure seated on a blood-red lotus, holding the Yuan Tu and Abi swords. It was the Ancestor Styx, mounted on the Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus.
"Ancestor Styx! Do you wish to die?" Yuanshi Tianzun roared. Without the Karma Fire Red Lotus, it would have taken Supreme Old Master and the others a hundred years to break in. This naturally infuriated him.
"Yuanshi Tianzun! You are the one who wishes to die! You sent Guangchengzi to ambush me, intending to seize my Karma Fire Red Lotus. Hmph! Do you think Ancestor Styx is easily bullied?" Ancestor Styx was even more enraged. He had been living freely in the Blood Sea of Styx, and Yuanshi Tianzun had unnecessarily provoked him. Did he think he was too honest?
"Uh..." Yuanshi Tianzun immediately recalled that he had asked Guangchengzi to borrow the Karma Fire Red Lotus. He hadn't expected it to cause such a massive problem.
"Ancestor Styx! You... how can you leave the Blood Sea of Styx?" Yuanshi Tianzun was perplexed. This fellow was originally unable to leave the Blood Sea of Styx.
"Hahaha! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was summoned by the Jade Emperor to attend a court discussion in the Heavenly Court, which coincidentally gave me an opportunity to leave. Yuanshi Tianzun! If I don't kill you now, you will seek revenge for your disciple Guangchengzi in the future. Die!" Ancestor Styx wielded his two swords and charged towards Yuanshi Tianzun.
"You killed Guangchengzi?" Yuanshi Tianzun was unsure how to react to his anger, as Supreme Old Master, Nuwa, and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons were also attacking simultaneously. This left him with no time to attend to anything else.
The tens of thousands of Asura tribesmen and great demons who rushed in immediately gave Lu Fan a chance to fight back. Wielding the God-Slaying Spear, he deflected over a dozen gods and demons. With the formidable defense of the World-Destroying Black Lotus, he charged through the Thousand Demon Immortal Slaying Formation, instantly disrupting it.
For a moment, the Primordial Battlefield was filled with the roar of battle.
Yuanshi Tianzun, being besieged by several individuals, was also unable to focus on the Thousand Demon Immortal Slaying Formation. Originally, the thousand demons were mere puppets. Without the command of the Skull Banner, they became like walking corpses. Soon, many lost their combat effectiveness.
Within the towering tree, the purple-gold Golden Silkworm Gu worm desperately absorbed the immense energy within the tree. This energy was millions of times more potent than that of so-called immortal herbs. The originally bean-sized purple-gold Golden Silkworm Gu worm's body grew larger, quickly expanding from bean-sized to fist-sized. It radiated a dazzling purple-gold light all over. A large hole was soon gnawed into the tree trunk.
"Golden Silkworm Gu worm, come out quickly! Otherwise, you'll explode from being overfilled." Lu Fan could sense the danger to the Golden Silkworm Gu worm's body and quickly ordered it to stop consuming. This little fellow obeyed him; if he didn't tell it to stop, the Golden Silkworm Gu worm wouldn't cease, even if it exploded.
Swish... The Heavenly Silkworm Gu worm flew out from the tree trunk. Bang, bang, bang... It pierced through the bodies of several puppet divine generals, leaving large holes behind. Lu Fan was immediately delighted. This little fellow had become almost invincible below the Saint realm. Perhaps only these great venerables could deal with it.
"Yuanshi Tianzun! Let me destroy your origin." Lu Fan roared, thrusting the God-Slaying Spear towards the towering tree. Bang... Bang... Bang... With several thrusts, the large hole previously gnawed by the Golden Silkworm Gu worm expanded several times over.
"Kid! It's you... you're forcing me!" Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes turned red. He took a deep breath, raised his head, and roared, "Aoo...!"
Swish... Yuanshi Tianzun's body instantly rushed into the towering tree.
Bang... Bang... The tree suddenly came alive, and the thousands of vines and branches coiled around its trunk suddenly began to entwine the surrounding crowd.
The branches were like hands; once they touched someone, escape was impossible. People were entangled and instantly disappeared into the tree trunk. Screams, like the wails of ghosts, echoed from within the trunk.
"This is bad, he's using his origin power. Quickly cut down the tree trunk," Nuwa exclaimed in alarm. Yuanshi Tianzun's origin power could destroy heaven and earth. If this fellow perished with everyone else, no one would be able to escape except for the great powers.
Destroying heaven and earth, the world would return to chaos. This would be the most tragic price of this fierce battle. Except for the great powers, no one would exist in the world.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Everyone frantically chopped at the branches and vines. Supreme Old Master and the others unleashed all their treasures, attempting to cut the tree trunk. However, the vines coiled around the outside of the trunk grew more numerous, blocking the spiritual treasures. Even the large hole Lu Fan had pierced was gradually being covered by vines.
The branches of the towering tree continuously attacked downwards, entangling those who couldn't dodge in time and devouring them into the trunk within moments. The tree trunk also became increasingly robust.
"This guy is devouring everyone for energy!" Lu Fan's eyes turned cold. If this continued, the more people there were, the more it would benefit Yuanshi Tianzun. With a thought, swish... three humanoid zombie Gu worms appeared beside him.
"Whether you succeed depends on you!" Whoosh... whoosh, whoosh... The three zombie Gu worms flew towards the tree. Bang, bang, bang... As expected, they were all entangled by the branches and vines and disappeared into the tree trunk. Furthermore, Lu Fan's clairvoyant eyes could no longer see through what was happening inside.
Lu Fan's expression was extremely solemn. He carefully sensed the existence of the zombie Gu worms. Good...! Indeed, the zombie Gu worms still existed. Lu Fan was overjoyed. He flicked the God-Slaying Spear and fiercely bombarded the tree trunk.
Bang... With a loud noise, the tree trunk trembled violently.
"This is the spot! Follow me and attack him!" Lu Fan roared, continuously unleashing attacks with the God-Slaying Spear. Bang, bang, bang... In an instant, he struck ten times. The entire tree began to tremble incessantly, and some branches that were entangling people were released, as if they had suffered heavy damage.
Seeing this, Supreme Old Master and the others beside him immediately unleashed all their spiritual treasures towards that spot.
"Bastards! If you want to destroy me, then we'll destroy this world. We'll return to chaos and fight for another few hundred years!" Suddenly, a despairing voice from Yuanshi Tianzun echoed from within the tree trunk.
