Long River Eternity

Zhurong lowered his head, looking at his abdomen in disbelief, the hand that had penetrated his body. Just as he was about to speak, the hand suddenly withdrew, and Zhurong immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood, splashing on Gonggong's face. Gonggong's face was also full of shock.

After Zhurong's injury, his aura began to become disordered, and the Purifying Fire gradually lost its ability to suppress the raging spiritual energy within Gonggong. Now, the blood on Gonggong's face reignited his murderous intent. Gonggong went completely berserk, his raging spiritual energy forcing the Purifying Fire out of his body. Simultaneously, his aura sent Zhurong and Suzaku flying far away.

All this happened in a flash, leaving Yang An and the other three no time to react. As they prepared to advance, Gong Gong almost completely lost his mind, looked around, and with the last bit of his sanity, he locked onto Suzaku and rushed towards her.

Yang An knew that he could not stop Gong Gong at all, so he flew towards Zhu Rong who was blown away.

Zhu Rong was first pierced through the abdomen by the Vermillion Bird, then flung away by Gonggong's violent aura. He was so severely injured that he struggled to even maintain flight. He was currently sitting against a large tree in the mountains, meditating and regulating his breathing, trying his best to stabilize his injuries.

Yang An and his three companions rushed to Zhu Rong and saw that he was regulating his breathing, so they became alert to their surroundings to prevent any sneak attack.

Not long after, they heard a "puff" sound, and the four of them looked towards Zhu Rong. They saw Zhu Rong spitting out a large mouthful of blood, his hand covering his injured abdomen, and blood gushing out continuously.

Yang An hurried forward and asked with concern, "Suzaku's spiritual power is the same as yours, both are fire-type. Given her realm, she shouldn't have caused such great damage to you, right?"

"Of course she can't do it alone," Zhu Rong said, slightly moving his hand away from the wound. A stream of light blue spiritual energy flowed through it. Zhu Rong continued, "It must be that Xuanwu at some point obtained a strand of Xuanming True Water and gave it to Zhuque. It just entered my body. I'm seriously injured now, unable to dispel the water, and the wound won't heal."

"This... Lord Gonggong has completely lost his mind now, and no one here can disperse this stream of true water." Yang An said anxiously.

Zhu Rong sighed and said helplessly, "Not to mention here, even in the entire Pangu Continent, there are no more than ten people who have this ability."

"Master can definitely disperse this strand of true water. Now it concerns the lives of the two domain masters, so why won't he take action?" Shi Gang suddenly said.

"Who is your master...?" Zhu Rong asked curiously, but he already had a vague guess in his heart.

"Fuxi." Shi Gang replied.

"What? Your master is actually the Taoist Master? The Taoist Master actually accepted a disciple. I thought you were Xuanyuan's disciples. After all, the work of investigating the Domain Master was carried out by the Yang Sect. This time, the Taoist Master was alarmed. It seems that something big is really going to happen." Zhu Rong said with a face full of surprise and worry.

Yang An admitted: "Yes, it was Master who sent us here to investigate the accounts and mediate the conflict between you and Lord Gonggong."

Hearing Yang An admit that it was Fuxi who sent them, Zhu Rong smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, there's no need to bother the Dao Master, because everything that's happening now was already within the Dao Master's expectations. No matter what the outcome, he won't take action. It's been like this for billions of years."

At this time, there was a loud noise in the sky, and a sky-covering figure fell from the sky and hit the hill next to Yang An and others.

It turned out that Zhuque was beaten by Gonggong and revealed his true form, but he was still no match for Gonggong. He was shot down from the sky by Gonggong and was seriously injured.

"Roar!" Gonggong roared to the sky, his whole body emitting blood and killing intent. Then, Gonggong swooped down towards the Vermillion Bird that had landed on the mountaintop.

Suddenly, a stream of water descended from the sky, like a river descending from heaven, rushing straight towards Gonggong. At the same time, a huge tortoise shell covered the severely injured and immobilized Suzaku.

Gong Gong was caught off guard and was swept backwards by the current. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a figure appeared on the turtle shell.

"Xuanwu!!" Zhu Rong gritted his teeth as he looked at the figure and growled angrily.

The tortoise shell instantly became the size of a palm. Xuanwu picked up the tortoise shell, looked back at Zhurong, smiled a victor, and then disappeared.

Gonggong flew back from a distance and found that the Vermillion Bird was no longer on the top of the mountain. He roared loudly towards the sky.

Gonggong's roar could not relieve the murderous intent in his heart. He glanced down at Zhurong and the others, then swooped down and landed heavily in front of them.

Gonggong approached step by step with murderous intent. Yang An and the other three were tense and full of fighting spirit. Although they knew they were no match for Gonggong, they still stood firmly in front of Zhurong, vowing to defend him to the death.

Zhu Rong spoke anxiously, "My body is currently unable to unleash the True Yang Fire. Now I have only one last resort. I will transform some of my life fire into the fire of purification and inject it into Gong Gong's body to temporarily suppress the toxins in his soul. If all goes well, it can briefly awaken his sanity and allow him to seal himself. Please buy me a moment."

After saying this, Zhu Rong cut open his chest without hesitation and forcibly took out a strand of his heart blood from the tip of his heart. As the heart blood flowed away, Zhu Rong's hair instantly turned white, his skin became visibly loose, and the muscles all over his body rapidly withered.

Zhu Rong didn't care about these things and immediately began to cast a spell to transform the blood in his heart into a purifying fire.

At this point, Gonggong had stopped walking and started running, madly charging towards the group. Yang Nian, Shi Gang, and Ye Tingxue launched the first attack, raining down earth, thunder, and wood spells on Gonggong. However, Gonggong's mere physical strength shattered all of their spells. Finally, he reached them and, with a sweep of his hand, unleashed a wave of crimson water, sending the three flying. With just one blow, the three were severely wounded, lying on the ground, vomiting blood, no longer able to fight.

At the moment the three were knocked back, Yang An had already completed his seals, and the Chaos Sphere appeared before him. Yang An pointed his finger, and the Chaos Sphere quickly flew towards Gong Gong. Gong Gong opened his huge hand and faced him head-on.

The moment the Chaos Sphere made contact with Gonggong's palm, the powerful energy pushed him back half a step, but only half a step. Gonggong closed his palm, gripped the Sphere, and squeezed it tightly. A gray light shone through his fingers. When he opened his palm again, the Chaos Sphere had vanished without a trace.

Yang An, who had used the Destruction Technique, had exhausted his spiritual energy and collapsed on the ground, unable to do anything but watch Gong Gong walking towards him.

The old Zhurong had moved to Gonggong's side at some point, and suddenly attacked from the side. When Gonggong turned his head, he pressed his palm on Gonggong's forehead, and the purifying fire in his hand entered Gonggong's eyebrows at the same time.

Gonggong immediately waved his hand to knock Zhurong away, and then stood there motionless.
