Chapter 38: The Name of Red Snow

As soon as Ji Ning spoke, the seven Celestial Immortals, including the yellow-furred bear, all looked at him.

"You really want us to act?" the seductive Snow Scorpion Celestial Immortal transmitted urgently.

"Don't regret it," the child-like Yuanguang Celestial Immortal transmitted.

"We only promised to help you once," the bald Jiuyai Celestial Immortal also looked at Ji Ning.

The Jiūshé Celestial Immortal, Lieyang Celestial Immortal, Xuanyue Celestial Immortal, and even the yellow-furred bear all transmitted urgently to ask. They transmitted because they all understood that the battle was intense, so they needed to communicate in the shortest time possible.

Only Red Snow Celestial Immortal did not speak, just looking at Ji Ning.

Ji Ning also looked at Red Snow Celestial Immortal. Their eyes met without any hesitation.

"Form the formation," Red Snow Celestial Immortal said one word.

"Hahaha..."

The other six Celestial Immortals couldn't help but laugh, their eyes burning with fervor. They had been hidden for far too long; their long-calm blood had been yearning for a thrilling battle. The 'Realm War' of the Chìmíng Realm was exactly to their liking.

Suddenly, the Water Mansion blazed with light, seven-colored radiance shining...

...

Outside.

On the battlefield where Ji Ning, the Xia Emperor, and the Three-Eyed Demon God were, the fighting was exceptionally brutal. The center of the battle was the 'Three-Eyed Demon God'.

The Three-Eyed Demon God, as the leader, commanded a large number of Celestial Immortals and True Immortals of the Heartless Sect, White-Faced Flood Dragons, Bifang, Zhu Yan, and Celestial Immortal Puppets.

On the side of the Chìmíng Realm, the Punishment Celestials, Yinglongs, Pangu Battle Formations, and Celestial Immortals and True Immortals were struggling to resist.

Unfortunately, the disadvantage was too obvious.

The Evergreen Sword Immortal had previously broken the balance, and the Three-Eyed Demon God made things worse for the Chìmíng Realm. Importantly, even 'Dao Ancestor Chìmíng' had to make painful choices for the overall battle situation, making the situation for Ji Ning and the others very dire. Fortunately, there were still powerful figures like Ji Ning and the Xia Emperor struggling on.

"Die, all of you die. What use is struggling?" The Three-Eyed Demon God was wildly arrogant. At this moment, he wielded two giant hammers, charging and ramming. Because among the three great demon gods, the 'Heaven-Swallowing Great Sage' Nine-Headed Lion was the commander of the Three-Eyed Demon God, and the Nine-Headed Lion was very skilled with these giant hammers.

Whoosh~~~

A Yinglong, besieged by the Heartless Sect side, was knocked rolling and approaching the direction of the Three-Eyed Demon God.

Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Demon God immediately lunged forward with large strides and swung his hammer.

"No."

"Watch out."

Although the Yinglong tried desperately to dodge, and the Xia Emperor and others tried to rescue it, it was too late.

Bang!!!

The giant hammer directly struck the Yinglong's body. Boom~ The body exploded, revealing a large number of Celestial Immortals and Loose Immortals inside, and even a silver-haired Celestial Immortal fled in panic. "Flee?" The Three-Eyed Demon God was ferocious; his hammer suddenly thrust forward, viciously smashing toward that silver-haired Celestial Immortal. Fortunately, that Celestial Immortal split his body in two, fleeing in two directions. Although one clone was destroyed, he escaped the calamity, but his divine power was greatly depleted.

"He has definitely reached the Dao Ancestor level. I tried my best to block but couldn't," the silver-haired Celestial Immortal transmitted to warn others, while flying far away and casting spells and magic treasures from a distance, occasionally fighting with other White-Faced Flood Dragons of the Heartless Sect, but absolutely not confronting the Three-Eyed Demon God head-on.

Those who dared to clash head-on with the Three-Eyed Demon God

were only Ji Ning, and some Yinglongs, Pangu Battle Formations, and Punishment Celestials led by Celestial Immortals and True Immortals. As long as they were prepared and two or three joined forces, they could still block him for a while.

"Boom."

Ji Ning was sent flying backward again.

He had clashed with the Three-Eyed Demon God three times in a short moment, and each time he was completely suppressed. It seemed that if the Three-Eyed Demon God had just one breath's time, he could kill him. Fortunately, he had many allies in the same camp, allowing him to catch his breath.

"Here they come." Ji Ning, while flying backward, showed a hint of joy.

Whoosh!

Right behind Ji Ning, a majestic Celestial Immortal appeared out of thin air, wearing seven-colored armor and holding a spear over ten thousand feet long. His face was even handsome, exactly the face of Red Snow Celestial Immortal.

"Celestial Immortal?"

"Demon god?"

"Where did he come from?"

When Ji Ning flew backward, the demonic beasts and gods of the Heartless Sect who came to surround and harass him were greatly startled. But then they didn't care: "Whatever demon god he is, just kill him! Appearing out of nowhere, he was probably hiding in someone's spatial treasure and suddenly appears to help."

No wonder they didn't notice the terror of the Seven Luminaries Celestial Immortals. Mainly because the seven of them, including Red Snow Celestial Immortal, coordinated perfectly and restrained their power to the extreme, not emitting much pressure. Moreover, this 'Celestial Immortal Formation' was different from the Punishment Celestial Formation. Punishment Celestials mainly absorbed the power of heaven and earth to form, so the Punishment Celestial Formation had great power but was difficult to control.

The Celestial Immortal Formation, on the other hand, merged the 'divine power' of the several Celestial Immortals forming it, stacking their power and condensing divine power into a physical body. From the outside, there was no difference.

Whether it was the Seven Luminaries Celestial Immortal Formation or the Three-Eyed Celestial Immortal Formation, both condensed a physical body from their own power. This kind of formation, relying entirely on one's own power, allowed for absolutely perfect control, unlike Punishment Celestials, which were difficult to fully control.

"Attack."

"Kill."

"This Punishment Celestial Ji Ning is very troublesome. Only the Three-Eyed Demon God can kill him. Let's get rid of this newly appeared demon god first."

"Yes, eliminate him first."

The demonic beasts and gods of the Heartless Sect also understood the principle of 'hurting ten fingers is not as good as breaking one'. So many of the Heartless Sect's forces nearby temporarily 'spared' Ji Ning and all besieged the Seven Luminaries Celestial Immortal.

The Seven Luminaries Celestial Immortal's gaze was cold, his temperament exactly like Red Snow Celestial Immortal's. He grabbed his spear with both hands and made a simple horizontal sweep.

"Whoosh~~~"

The spear swept in a circle.

The spear, over ten thousand feet long, instantly caused snowflakes to drift in the surrounding sky and earth, and even time began to become chaotic.

"What's going on?" A Zhu Yan was about to pounce but suddenly felt very uncomfortable. It was the discomfort of time chaos. Sometimes it felt like its speed was fast, sometimes unbearably slow. This feeling of time disorder made it feel like vomiting.

"Bang~~"

Still in the nightmare, a spear struck it. Bang~~~ Its body exploded directly, and the Celestial Immortals and Loose Immortals inside fled in panic, but were instantly frozen by the drifting snowflakes. For a moment, except for a very few Celestial Immortals who hid in their immortal mansions, all were killed.

Bang bang bang~~~

With just that one sweep of the spear, the surrounding four White-Faced Flood Dragons, two Zhu Yan, and three Celestial Immortal Puppets were all killed. Even the Celestial Immortal Puppets, known for their toughness, were completely shaken to death.

Among the four White-Faced Flood Dragons, one was a Celestial Immortal commander.

"White snow drifting, a spear... Could it be him?" The fleeing Celestial Immortal showed a terrified expression. "If it's the Seven Luminaries Celestial Immortal... it's over..."

He instantly split his body into seven, fleeing in all directions.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!

A flash of spear light left seven spear blossoms in the air, and the seven clones of that Celestial Immortal were all extinguished. If the Three-Eyed Demon God followed the path of crushing force, then the Seven Luminaries Celestial Immortal led by Red Snow Celestial Immortal followed the path of finesse. His spear technique was beautiful; in the chaotic time, a single instant seemed like an eternity to the enemy.

That celestial god was already well aware that his chances of survival were slim.

Because if he split into too many avatars, each would be too weak, and the snowflakes might be enough to kill him. If he split into too few, he would not be able to evade the spear light. So he split into seven, taking a gamble.

He lost.

He still died.

"Hahaha, how long has it been? Our Seven Luminaries Celestial God of the Star-Plucking Mansion has emerged again."

"What a thrill, what a thrill! Xuan Yue, we brothers haven't fought together in ages."

"Kill, kill, kill! Let's make rivers of blood, let's turn heaven and earth upside down."

"Hmph, kill them all."

All seven celestial gods were bursting with battle intent.

Of course, the other six celestial gods were shouting wildly, while Red Snow Celestial God, who controlled the Seven Luminaries Celestial God, went all out, unleashing his terrifying spear technique that he had studied for endless years, and began the slaughter. It should be noted that back when the Seven Luminaries Celestial God fought the three Mother Queens, those three Mother Queens had gathered immense power and each had reached the threshold of the Dao Ancestor. Yet facing the Seven Luminaries Celestial God, they still got injured. It's just that those three Mother Queens had no flaws back then, and their injuries could heal automatically!

"Bang!" The long spear either swept.

"Pfft." Or thrust.

"Boom." Or smashed.

A single spear moved like a swimming dragon. Wherever the Seven Luminaries Celestial God passed, everything was swept away. His killing speed even surpassed that of the Three-Eyed Demon God. Clearly, the unfathomable spear technique... was far harder to withstand than the fierce and brutal great hammer.

...

On the city walls of the Wujian Gate.

Daozu Mozhu watched the entire battlefield with a faint smile.

"Mozhu, it seems we are about to win."

"Yes, the outcome is decided. That Chiming probably has no means left to turn the tables. You are truly formidable, having planted a chess piece like the Evergreen Sword Immortal by his side."

"Haha... that is—" The Godking's voice cut off abruptly, even carrying a hint of shock and anger.

Daozu Mozhu and the Godking were communicating directly through their divine senses across the endless void. At this moment, both of them showed surprise, for they saw the sudden appearance of the Qiyao Heavenly God, especially when he began a great slaughter, sweeping his long spear to annihilate a large number of demonic beasts of the Wujian Gate, and even slaying a Heavenly God. They had no doubt left.

"Snowflakes drifting, crimson hair like blood, could it be..."

...

"You three be careful. That is the Red Snow Heavenly God, the first war god of the Star-Picking Manor, and clad in a seven-colored divine armor, he is very likely the Qiyao Heavenly God of the Star-Picking Manor from ancient times. Red Snow Heavenly God is the commander." Daozu Mozhu transmitted directly. Although Mozhu had never seen Red Snow Heavenly God in person, as a daozu, he had long obtained images and intelligence about him.

On the battlefield.

The Three-Eyed Demon God, who was slaughtering ferociously, heard the transmission, and at the same time, they noticed the appearance of the Qiyao Heavenly God, who was killing even more brutally than him.

"The first war god of the Star-Picking Manor? Snowflakes drifting, crimson hair like blood, the Red Snow Heavenly God who roamed the ancient times?" The Nine-Headed Lion was greatly shocked, and the Golden-Maned Divine Eagle and the Broken-Horn Divine Dragon were also stunned.

They had all come from the ancient times.

But in those ancient days, their fame was still weak. Back then, they called themselves the Mountain-Swallowing Great Sage, the Sea-Swallowing Great Sage, and the Sky-Swallowing Great Sage, and were mocked. At that time... Red Snow Heavenly God was even more ancient than the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Race. He was a peerless war god who had already made his name during the era when humans and gods and demons contended for supremacy.

Among the spear-wielding Heavenly Gods of ancient times, the two most famous and powerful were Yang Jian, the strongest war god of the ancient Heavenly Court, and the ancient Red Snow Heavenly God, who followed the Chaos True God 'San Shou Daoren'.

In the ancient times, they were far too inferior to Red Snow Heavenly God.

But now, the three of them stood at the pinnacle of the celestial gods.

"So what if it is? So what if we were strong back then? We are no longer what we used to be."

"Right, I don't believe we can't defeat those seven cowards hiding in fear. The Star-Plucking Manor? It was renowned in ancient times, but now it has been in decline for who knows how many millennia."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, let's attack."

"Attack."

The Three-Eyed Demon God showed no fear and charged straight ahead.

"This is..."

"Such a powerful celestial god, where did he come from? Is he helping our Crimson Bright Domain?"

"Too powerful."

"Snowflakes fluttering, a long spear? Could it be the first war god of the ancient Star-Plucking Manor..."

"Is it Red Snow?"

"It's the Seven Luminaries Celestial Gods led by Red Snow."

"Red Snow."

"Yes, it's the Celestial God Red Snow."

The Crimson Bright Domain also noticed this terrifying divine demon, whose murderous aura soared to the heavens and whose strength had reached the threshold of a Dao Ancestor. After all, many of these celestial gods and true immortals were born in ancient times, so they all knew the legend of the Celestial God Red Snow. Some had even seen him in person—for instance, the Xia Emperor had witnessed him with his own eyes.

"But the three demon gods of Devouring Dragon Mountain possess overwhelming power and stand at the peak of celestial gods. The Three-Eyed Demon God they form together has even reached the level of a Dao Ancestor. Can the Seven Luminaries Celestial Gods led by Red Snow defeat the Three-Eyed Demon God?"

"Danger."

Even the Crimson Bright Territory felt a trace of worry.

"Die!" The roaring Three-Eyed Fiendgod made the earth tremble with every step. Wielding two great hammers, he charged wildly at the Seven Radiance Celestial Immortal. In his eyes, there was no longer Ji Ning, only this Seven Radiance Celestial Immortal. The Three-Eyed Fiendgod had only one thought... he must eliminate this Seven Radiance Celestial Immortal!

Red Snow?

Hmph, an old fellow who had been hiding for who knows how many years.

"Bang, bang, bang." The Seven Radiance Celestial Immortal also charged toward the Three-Eyed Fiendgod. At the same time, the long spear in his hand swept forward from time to time, as if parting weeds. Some of the Abyss Gate gods and fiends who were too slow to dodge exploded with a bang, causing the legions not led by Celestial Immortals or True Immortals to dare not approach this Seven Radiance Celestial Immortal.

In an instant—

The Seven Radiance Celestial Immortal and the Three-Eyed Fiendgod drew close.

At this moment.

Almost the entire battlefield took notice. Even the frenzied Divine Archer Dongzhe, reduced to nothing but a Chaos Dao Fruit, noticed. Even the Ink Bamboo Dao Ancestor and the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor on both sides were watching, all of them tense with anticipation. The outcome between the Seven Radiance Celestial and the Three-Eyed Fiendgod would be fatal to the entire war.

"Die! Die! I am the strongest!" The Three-Eyed Fiendgod swung his two great hammers like a windmill. The hammers carried ripples of space, an aura of endless heaviness, as if two boundless continents were crashing down upon the Seven Radiance Celestial.

But the Seven Radiance Celestial did not employ his exquisite spear techniques; instead, he met force with force.

The Seven Radiance Celestial gripped his long spear with both hands, using his waist as a pivot, and suddenly exerted his strength. For a moment, time twisted, and countless snowflakes converged on the spear, forming a colossal, snow-white phantom of the spear.

"Boom~~~"

A cataclysmic collision.

The enormous, snow-white spear phantom swept directly onto the hammers. Though it shuddered violently, it then lashed onto the Three-Eyed Fiendgod's body. The Three-Eyed Fiendgod barely managed to block with the hammer's shaft across his chest, but his feet were lifted off the ground, and he was sent flying backward.
