Chapter 9: One Man, Two Hammers, Settling the Universe!

In Hui Province, Li Yuanba’s arrival tipped the scales toward Shu Mountain. His clash with the Yellow-Browed Demon King echoed with the clang of gold and iron from the clouds, inspiring all below.

“Not one of the Five Princes for nothing!”

“The Great Tang’s divine general, truly unmatched!”

“Shu Mountain comrades, lend the Prince of Yidu your strength!”

Shu Mountain disciples surged forward, swords flashing, driving the demon soldiers into retreat. The Yellow-Browed Demon King, worn from consecutive battles, struggled against Li Yuanba’s relentless onslaught. His demonic energy waned.

“Four Demon Generals! Form the Earthly Radiant Heavenly Might Demon God Array!”

At this critical juncture, the Demon King, wary of hindering the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s revival, rallied his forces. The five demons hurled their weapons skyward. Winds howled, demonic aura surged, and a colossal jackal-wolf phantom, vast as a mountain, materialised. Its overwhelming demonic glare flooded the battlefield.

Shu Mountain’s forces gasped. The Demon King had such a trump card? The jackal-wolf’s power surpassed all present. None could withstand it. Distant factions watching trembled—if a mere Demon King wielded such terror, what would the Demon Emperor unleash? With even Li Yuanba forced back, who could stop this?

Li Yuanba gripped his hammers, steadying himself, his brow furrowed. Instinct warned him the jackal-wolf was beyond his strength. With a savage roar, the beast lunged. Across the realms, all eyes fixed on this moment, hearts in throats.

Li Yuanba raised his hammers and charged. Boom! Their collision unleashed a deafening blast, scattering clouds in waves. As the dust cleared, gasps rang out—Li Yuanba held the jackal-wolf at bay with a single hammer! “What…?” The crowd was stunned. Is he courting death? But then, Li Yuanba’s intent became clear. His aura surged, and his right hammer flew from his grasp, trailing a fiery comet’s tail toward the Tenfold Demonic Calamity Array. Boom! The hammer struck, collapsing half a mountain and tearing a gash in the array.

“Brilliant!”

“A feint to strike the array—his true target!”

“Masterful strategy!”

“With the array broken, the Demon Emperor’s revival is thwarted!”

Cheers erupted below, and distant leaders sighed in relief. Li Shimin, watching via the star chart, relaxed his clenched fist, pride in his eyes. On the battlefield, the Yellow-Browed Demon King’s eyes bulged with rage at the damaged array. The Tenfold Demonic Calamity Array’s ten layers were interlinked; a single breach could unravel it all.

As feared, the Heavenly Demon Emperor, within the Demon-Sealing Tower, sensed the array’s instability. “Damn it! Who is this brat?” he roared, his revival teetering on collapse just half an incense stick from completion. Li Qiye had warned that failure to serve him would mean torment in the tower’s eighteen depths. “I’ll kill you!” Enraged, the Demon Emperor fixed on Li Yuanba, ready to order his death. But a terrifying presence descended. Thud! He fell to his knees, trembling. “Master…”

Li Qiye approached the array’s core, eyeing Li Yuanba’s hammer-wielding figure with a smile. “Worthy of Uncle, peerless in valour and wit.” To outsiders, Li Yuanba was a fool, but Li Qiye saw his brilliance, chosen by the Dou Wood Xie Constellation. Yet, his stubbornness bordered on obsession. Now, they stood on opposing sides.

“So be it…” Li Qiye chuckled, placing a jade-white hand on the array’s core. The Heavenly Demon Emperor, kneeling, was dumbstruck. The master called him Uncle? Realising he’d nearly ordered Li Yuanba’s death, he shuddered, cursing his recklessness. Li Qiye’s cold glance chilled him. “If you don’t want to be obliterated, call off your minions.” The Demon Emperor, overjoyed, realised Li Qiye meant to repair the array. He hurriedly transmitted orders to the Yellow-Browed Demon King.

Meanwhile, the Demon King, furious at the array’s breach, prepared to unleash the jackal-wolf to slay Li Yuanba. But a strange voice halted him: “Stop!” Recognising the Heavenly Demon Emperor’s command, he froze. Why intervene?

A second message followed: “Harm that man, and I’ll ensure your eternal torment!” The killing intent in the words made the Demon King tremble, his blood running cold. He withdrew at once.

Li Yuanba, exhausted from splitting his strength to destroy the array, neared collapse. Yet, the pressure from the jackal-wolf suddenly eased—it retreated. Puzzled, he wondered why the Demon King relented. With no time to ponder, he recalled his second hammer, both now blazing with celestial fire and thunder.

Boom! A tidal wave of energy erupted. Li Yuanba swung both hammers, smashing them into the Yellow-Browed Demon King’s chest. Clang! Amid the clash of metal and cracking bones, the mighty Demon King was hurled back, spitting blood.

In the sky, one man stood with two hammers. The world fell silent.
