Xiang Tiandi watched Zhou Bai execute the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique, observing him transform into thunder, weaving through the battlefield, and naturally grew more agitated the more he watched.

Especially when he realized that some of the mysteries within Zhou Bai's execution of the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique eluded his understanding, his anger intensified further.

Beside him, Immortal Ming Yue, though not taking action, cast a sidelong glance at Xiang Tiandi. When she saw Xiang Tiandi's angry demeanor, she immediately sneered and said, "Xiang Tiandi, your Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique has been stripped away, right? How does it feel now that you can't comprehend Zhou Bai's thunder escape technique?"

Xiang Tiandi replied coldly, "Ming Yue, your Qi Sea Myriad Soldiers with Invisible Evil was also stripped away. The time, effort, and natural treasures spent on cultivating this technique far surpass my Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique."

Ming Yue smiled and said, "I'm happy to give it to Zhou Bai. After all, he is a pure-blood human, and we are bonded together. I have no problem providing him resources to help cultivate Qi Sea Myriad Soldiers with Invisible Evil."

Xiang Tiandi snorted, "You consider him one of your own, but he may not consider you the same. When he fought against Tu Guishen in the Heavenly Arena, he showed no mercy."

Immortal Ming Yue replied, "Li Xiuzhu already told us that Zhou Bai understood the rules of the Heavenly Arena, that no one could be killed there."

Xiang Tiandi looked at Yan Zhen True Monarch and Greed Wolf True Monarch, who were beaten into a miserable state on the ground, and with anger in his eyes, said, "He has never shown any mercy to immortals or gods. Yan Zhen True Monarch and Greed Wolf True Monarch were severely beaten, nearly to death. Do you think he will spare you?"

Immortal Ming Yue snorted, "Almost to death, but not dead. Moreover, those injured were your Four Departments True Gods. Zhou Bai has never attacked immortals. I now suspect that you True Gods might be problematic, which has caused him to be hostile towards the Heavenly Court."

Xiang Tiandi, suppressing his anger, said, "Zhou Bai has defected to the Heavenly Demons. How many humans have the demons slaughtered? You still wish to shelter such a traitor?"

"Humans? They're nothing but demon hybrids." Ming Yue showed a trace of indifference. After all, although the Heavenly Demon's assault seemed formidable, those who died were mainly current demon hybrids, while immortals and gods were rarely harmed and mostly focused on restoring their cultivation.

Upon hearing Ming Yue's words, Xiang Tiandi's face showed clear discontent, "The Heavenly Demons are enemies of the Heavenly Court. Zhou Bai's actions are outright betrayal. Moreover, he attacked immortals and gods, even killed Zi Yang. Now, he supports the Sky Flipping Sect, causing such a dreadful impact. It is a blatant act of demonic behavior, disturbing the world."

At this moment, Tu Guishen's eyes shifted, secretly transmitting a message to Ming Yue.

Ming Yue hesitated slightly before her gaze turned cold, focusing on Xiang Tiandi, she said, "Xiang Tiandi, don't think that your and Zi Yang's deeds can remain hidden. He secretly went to Wanxian Island to attack Zhou Bai, didn't he?"

"Nonsense. Are the array and prohibitions on Wanxian Island mere decorations? How could Zi Yang have set foot on Wanxian Island without your consent?" Xiang Tiandi's gaze sharpened, naturally refusing to admit it. But he also thought that perhaps something on Wanxian Island had left traces that the immortals detected.

After all, True Monarch Zi Yang impersonated Immortal Ming Yue to snipe Zhou Bai on Wanxian Island. Although the arrangement was foolproof, it was foiled by Zhou Bai unexpectedly, and due to the hurried combat, the traces hadn't been cleaned up.

Nonetheless, Xiang Tiandi considered that the immortals probably hadn't suspected them, the True Gods, of having demon bloodlines.

Immortal Ming Yue continued, "Although Zhou Bai made some mistakes, each one had reasons, and they could be excused. Furthermore, with his talents, he might change this world in the future, recreating the glory of the human race and the Heavenly Court."

At this point, Immortal Ming Yue looked at Zhou Bai lying on the ground and smiled, "I think we should capture him, send him to Wanxian Island, where we can properly guide him, help him turn over a new leaf, and reconnect with him emotionally. He could surely thrive."

The surrounding immortals, listening to the confrontation between Ming Yue and Xiang Tiandi, all seemed thoughtful.

"Absurd." Xiang Tiandi shook his head, closed his eyes, feeling that there was nothing more to discuss with this woman who only had pure-blood humans on her mind.

As for the ongoing battle below, he was never worried about the outcome. Despite Zhou Bai's brutal defeat of Greed Wolf True Monarch and Yan Zhen True Monarch, there was no overcoming as long as Si Yi Heavenly Monarch and Jiu Xiao Marshal were present.

On the other side, Immortal Ming Yue wanted to say more but was stopped by Tu Guishen's transmitted message.

And Immortal Qin and Wu Wei Immortal, watching the battle, occasionally had hesitancy flash in their eyes. Although Xiang Tiandi revealed his demon form, which was very suspicious, immortals and True Gods had cooperated for countless years, and Greed Wolf True Monarch and Yan Zhen True Monarch were acquaintances of theirs...

Wu Wei Immortal hesitated and said, "Is it really okay for us to just watch and not intervene?"

Tu Guishen said, "Only Greed Wolf True Monarch and Yan Zhen True Monarch have lost. Regardless, Si Yi Heavenly Monarch or Jiu Xiao Marshal is deeply seasoned, having cultivated for tens of thousands of years. With them, capturing Zhou Bai is just a matter of time."

Tu Guishen observed the entire battlefield, internally assessing the combat strength of all sides present.

'Over this period, with the restoration of the Taiwei Jiu Chen algorithm, the power of most immortals and gods has partially returned. Yan Zhen True Monarch and Greed Wolf True Monarch have a Dao transformation degree of 120%, with Primordial Spirit power above 12,000, making them comparable to the likes of Wu Wei and Old Qin on our side. They should easily crush mortals, but they're no longer Zhou Bai's opponents.'

'My combat strength is approximately equal to 3 Yan Zhen True Monarchs, Xiang Tiandi slightly surpasses me, about 3.5 to 4 Yan Zhen True Monarchs.'

'Si Yi Heavenly Monarch and Jiu Xiao Marshal have even deeper reserves and strength, firmly above 4 Yan Zhen True Monarchs.'

'However, Zhou Bai's side...'

Tu Guishen frowned. The more he observed Zhou Bai's combat strength, the more perplexed he became. With various peculiar abilities superimposing, it was difficult to accurately define his combat prowess.

At least 3 Yan Zhen True Monarchs, and some strange abilities could even threaten immortals stronger than him.

Recalling when Zhou Bai defeated Xiang Tiandi's mutated weapon form in the Heavenly Arena, and his recent victory over Greed Wolf True Monarch, Tu Guishen thought to himself: 'I wonder if it's just my illusion... why does it seem like Zhou Bai's combat power increases by 1 to 2 Yan Zhen True Monarchs after reciting poetry?'

At this moment, the sky began to shimmer with lights, and everyone looked up to see the sky filled with fiery sparks descending like a meteor shower onto the ground.

Tu Guishen focused and discovered they were countless flying swords slicing through the atmosphere, trailing flames, and falling in all directions.

"That is..." Tu Guishen suddenly felt a surge of realization, recalling the giant sword recently sent into outer space by Jiu Xiao Marshal.
