The Ancestral Witches Strike
Boom!
Rocks exploded, the earth wailed, and vast waves of Demon Qi swept out in all directions.
"Huh!"
Surprise appeared on the faces of the Six Great Demon Kings. They had not expected an attack they had been certain would land to miss, and they could not help looking up at Dijiang in curiosity.
Dijiang, meanwhile, breathed a quiet sigh of relief, feeling even more grateful to Fuxi.
If not for the Space Dao Patterns Fuxi had given him, he truly would not have been able to manipulate space so easily, much less save Xing Tian and the other two in an instant.
But now that Dijiang possessed the Space Dao Patterns, his mastery of the law of space had reached its very peak.
Saving a mere three people was naturally no trouble at all.
Xing Tian and the other two had been utterly unable to resist the Six Great Demon Kings' combined attack.
Seeing the demonic claws reach above their heads, the three had already fallen into despair. Yet just as they closed their eyes and waited for death, their vision blurred, and by the time they came to their senses, they were at the Ancestral Witch Dijiang's side.
Looking at the three in their battered state, Dijiang suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice,
"What happened? Where are the others?"
At the question, Hou Yi, Jiu Feng, and Xing Tian fell to the ground and cried out in unbearable grief and indignation,
"Lord Dijiang, you must avenge our fallen brothers!!"
The three then briefly recounted what had happened.
As Dijiang listened to their account, his expression grew darker and darker. When he heard that the other members of the Witch Clan had all been divided up and devoured by the monsters before him,
Dijiang abruptly turned and fixed his eyes on the Six Great Demon Kings. Rage burned in his heart, as if his very insides were on fire.
"I am furious! I swear that today, I will take your lives!"
"Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Jiu Feng, return to the clan first."
Without waiting for the three to answer, Dijiang activated his law and transported them back to the Witch Clan Territory.
The Six Great Demon Kings, however, paid no heed to Dijiang's fury.
Although the six demons could sense that Dijiang was far stronger than an ordinary Great Witch of the Witch Clan, they did not think he would be a match for them.
After all, the Witch Clan's cultivation methods differed from those of others. They cultivated their bodies rather than their primordial spirits, so it was difficult for others to accurately judge a Witch Clan member's cultivation before exchanging blows.
Thus, ignorant as they were, they continued to mock him. "Heh heh... another helping of meat has arrived. We'll surely feast our fill today."
"We didn't get enough to satisfy us just now. A main course on top of that would be even better!"
"Quite right, quite right! This Witch Clan fellow is stronger, so his flesh must be even more delicious. I can't help drooling!"
The Six Great Demon Kings had actually taken Dijiang for another meal on their plates.
At their words, Dijiang's expression turned vicious. Without even waiting for the other Ancestral Witches, he launched a fierce attack.
His body shook, and his thirty-thousand-foot Ancestral Witch True Body surged into motion. At the same time, the principles of space flickered in and out of sight around him. The land of the Primordial World trembled violently for hundreds of millions of miles, mountains collapsed, rivers surged, and countless living beings fled in all directions in terror.
Suddenly, Dijiang's six legs became six pillars holding up the heavens. Like meteors, they crashed down at the Six Great Demon Fiends.
The Six Great Demon Kings dared not underestimate such a ferocious blow. They all struck, sending endless Demon Qi rolling forth to form terrifying demonic claws that lunged at the heaven-supporting pillars descending from the sky.
Boom!
Crack!
An earthshaking roar exploded between heaven and earth, and a terrifying presence surged outward. Violent spatial power and vast Demon Qi intertwined and spilled in every direction, while immense spiritual pressure spread everywhere. Even the surrounding space was blasted full of cracks.
The Six Great Demon Kings were sent tumbling backward, barely managing to steady themselves after being driven back ten thousand miles.
Though they were uninjured, they looked thoroughly battered.
At the sight, shock appeared on the Six Great Demon Kings' faces, and their eyes filled with disbelief.
It seemed they had never imagined that even with the strength of all six combined, they would only fight their opponent to a draw.
Moreover, sensing the terrifying presence contained within that tremendous blow, the Six Great Demon Fiends could not help but tremble.
"How could this be?"
The Six Great Demon Kings roared, their eyes turning scarlet!
"To think that a mere Witch Clan would have such an expert. We underestimated you."
Even so, the Six Great Demon Kings were not afraid. After all, the six had looked down on their opponent so much that they had not even used their treasures, and that was why they had suffered a minor setback.
If they brought out their respective Magical Weapons and combined the strength of all six, they would surely defeat him!
Besides, ever since the six demons had roamed the Primordial World, when had they ever suffered a setback, except when facing a handful of mighty beings?
Now, they naturally had to win back their pride.
"Then let us fight you in earnest."
"Heh heh heh, don't blame us for ganging up on you!"
But how could the arrogant Six Great Demon Kings have known that the Witch Clan had another eleven experts on the same level as Dijiang?
And so, through their mistaken judgment, the Six Great Demon Kings lost their last chance to escape.
Faced with the Six Great Demon Kings, who were now taking the fight seriously, Dijiang smiled contemptuously. "Heh heh... ganging up on me? I can do that too!"
As Dijiang's words fell, rumbling once again came from the sky.
Terrifying pressure came from the horizon. Eleven enormous figures shot over like lightning, then revealed their true forms in this space.
These eleven were none other than the remaining Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan.
The Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, the Fire Ancestral Witch Zhurong, the Water Ancestral Witch Gonggong, the Earth Ancestral Witch Houtu...
Every Ancestral Witch's presence was like that of a primeval demon god, standing between heaven and earth and bearing down on the four poles and eight wildernesses.
Twelve gazes fixed on the Six Great Demon Kings, as though looking at a group of dead men.
An immense presence rose from them, and overwhelmingly powerful laws spread outward.
Blazing flames, torrential waters, bursting lightning, cutting winds...
All manner of laws intertwined and spread, covering half the sky. At some unknown point, vast banks of dark clouds had gathered overhead, as though the heavens were about to collapse. The atmosphere was unbearably oppressive.
For hundreds of millions of miles around Buzhou Mountain, beneath the presence of the twelve Ancestral Witches, not a single living being dared make a sound.
Looking at the Ancestral Witches, each with a presence at its peak and no weaker than Dijiang's, the Six Great Demon Kings felt stormy waves surge through their hearts!
"Th-this... how is this possible!"
Why did a mere Witch Clan have so many experts?
Intense bewilderment left the Six Great Demon Kings unable to remain at ease, and even their Dao hearts began to tremble.
Faced with the twelve Ancestral Witches surrounding them on every side, the Six Great Demon Kings could not help feeling an intense sense of danger.
It had been a long time since they had last felt this sense of impending death, ever since they had emerged into the world alongside Demon Ancestor Luohu.
The Six Great Demon Kings could no longer withstand the pressure bearing down on them like a collapsing sky and spoke up of their own accord. "We are mighty Quasi-Sages, the Six Great Demon Lords under the Western Demon Ancestor Luohu. If you dare attack us, our ancestor Luohu will surely hunt every last one of you down!"
Dijiang remained unmoved by the Six Great Demon Kings' threat and spoke, his heart full of killing intent.
"I care not who you are, nor do I care who that Luohu is. Today, I understand only one thing: blood debts must be paid in blood!!"
"That's right, blood debts must be paid in blood!"
"We must kill them!"
All the Ancestral Witches had heard Dijiang's voice transmission and learned the whole story. Every one of them was furious, and even Houtu, the gentlest of them all, was seized by intense killing intent.
