The sun and moon turned, and the years flowed on. More than two thousand Yuanhui had passed since Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Dao.
During these two thousand-odd Yuanhui, the Primordial Wilderness had never grown peaceful because of the Dao Ancestor's union with the Dao.
The spread of the method of Severing Three Corpses had made Innate Spiritual Treasures the target of all, while territorial disputes between clans rose one after another.
However, after the Witch-Demon Two Clans erupted into a great battle outside Zhou Mountain not long ago, every open and secret conflict throughout the Primordial Wilderness abruptly ceased.
Whether mighty rogue cultivators or tribal chiefs, all secretly cast their divine sense toward that region shrouded in chaotic Law currents, not even daring to breathe too heavily.
Zhou Mountain, the pillar of the Primordial World formed from Pangu's spine, had now become the Shura Field of the Witch-Demon Two Clans.
Over a hundred million soldiers from both sides spread out around it, while the spiritual radiance of Golden Immortal cultivators streaked through the air like meteors.
The divine abilities of Grand Unity Golden Immortals tore apart the clouds, while demon kings and Great Witches at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level formed opposing battle formations in the sky.
On the ground, Witch Clan soldiers used their fleshly bodies to withstand the Demon Clan's spells, their fists smashing apart Yao Soldiers' bone staffs and their fangs biting through their enemies' throats.
In the sky, Demon Clan cultivators commanded wind and fire, turning the radiance of Innate Spiritual Treasures into sharp blades, only for the Great Witches to meet them head-on with Law Power.
Metal Element Law unleashed by golden spears severed the airflow, while the Law of Life entwined around wooden vines healed wounds.
Yet even so, cultivators from both sides fell every moment.
Blood flowed down Buzhou Mountain's rock walls, gathering into winding crimson streams and seeping deep into the spirit veins of the Great Desolation Continent.
This was only the scene on the lower and middle-tier battlefields. Though the middle and upper-tier battlefields were not as brutal, they were even more intense.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi floated in midair, the Innate Supreme Treasure Eastern Emperor Bell suspended above his head. The Chaos Runes carved across its body glowed with golden halos.
He pressed his left hand against the bell, then suddenly pushed downward.
The chime of the Eastern Emperor Bell instantly resounded through the universe, and invisible sound waves spread outward as spatial ripples.
Dijiang, who had been using Space Law to teleport behind Taiyi, suddenly froze.
The light cyan spatial flowing light around him fell into momentary disorder.
This bell chime could not only shake the primordial spirit, but also disrupt the operation of Laws. It was the bane of creatures like the Witch Clan, who relied on innate Laws.
"Dijiang, those little spatial tricks of yours are nothing more than children playing before my Eastern Emperor Bell!"
Taiyi sneered. He formed a sword with two fingers of his right hand, drawing upon the Eastern Emperor Bell's spatial power. A golden sword radiance tore through the void and stabbed straight toward Dijiang's heart.
Dijiang's pupils contracted sharply. All six of his feet exerted force at once, while his four wings beat behind him in a blur of afterimages. He barely dodged at the last instant.
Yet the sword radiance still grazed his left shoulder, sending a spray of golden blood flying.
Even if Witch Clan bodies could withstand the full-force strike of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, they still found it difficult to completely resist the Law attacks of an Innate Supreme Treasure.
"Taiyi, don't be so arrogant!" Zhurong's furious roar came from the left.
The supreme Yang fire of the Primordial Wilderness burned around him, its crimson flames warping the surrounding air and leaving even space scorched black.
He opened his mouth and spat out a fire dragon. Fire Element Law runes coiled around its body, and wherever it passed, even the clouds burned to ash.
But Taiyi merely raised a hand, and the Eastern Emperor Bell blocked the attack before him. The fire dragon struck the bell and was instantly scattered by its chime.
Fragments of flame fell onto the battlefield below, directly burning swathes of Yao Soldiers and Witch Clan soldiers into ash.
"With your meager abilities, you dare call yourselves Pangu's descendants?"
Taiyi's gaze swept over Zhurong and Gonggong, who had been sent flying earlier, as well as Dijiang, who had just stabilized himself. His tone was filled with contempt.
He flicked his wrist, and the Eastern Emperor Bell rang again. This time, the bell chime was no longer a spreading ripple.
Instead, it condensed into a spatial shockwave that charged directly at the six Ancestral Witches.
Dijiang, Zhurong, Gonggong, Qiangliang, Zhujiuyin, and Xizi had been forming an encirclement, but the shockwave directly sent them flying backward.
Qiangliang coughed up blood, several tiger scales on his chest shattering. Xizi's bird wings were torn apart by spatial power, and purple arcs of lightning crackled over his wounds.
Zhujiuyin's dragon body was also grazed by the shockwave. Flesh churned beneath his scales, and even his left eye, which controlled day and night, was bloodshot.
Dijiang stabilized himself and swept his gaze across the battlefield. Though the Witch Clan's Great Witches below had suffered casualties, they were still stubbornly resisting with Law Power.
Jumang's Wood Element Law continuously spawned spiritual plants, repairing the bodies of his injured clansmen.
Rushou's golden spear cleaved through the Demon Clan's defensive formation as he led a group of Great Witches toward Demon Emperor Dijun.
He suppressed the thought of using the Great Heavenly God-Demon Array. His six feet stepped through the void, and his voice transmission spread together with Space Law.
"Zhujiuyin, hold back your Time Law for now. Zhurong and Gonggong, move in from the flanks and disrupt the rhythm of the bell chimes."
"Qiangliang, Xizi, draw upon the power of lightning and hold Taiyi's attention!"
Before his words had even faded, his hands had already formed seals, and the space around Buzhou Mountain suddenly split into layers.
Transparent barriers stacked atop one another, temporarily blocking Eastern Emperor Taiyi's attacks.
On the other side, Zhurong's flames immediately shifted toward the flank, while Gonggong's Youming Yin Water turned into water chains that coiled around the Eastern Emperor Bell.
Qiangliang's Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and Xizi's web of electric arcs simultaneously covered the airspace around Taiyi.
Orders and actions connected seamlessly, and the six Ancestral Witches instantly formed a new encirclement.
"Hmph, a futile struggle!" Taiyi snorted, and the Eastern Emperor Bell's chimes became even more rapid.
The golden halo instantly expanded, blasting away the flames, water chains, and lightning.
But just as he was distracted by the attacks from the flanks, Dijiang seized the opportunity and instantly teleported behind Taiyi.
All six of his feet struck out at once, Space Law condensing into six sharp Space Blades that stabbed straight toward Taiyi's back.
Taiyi reacted with astonishing speed, and the Eastern Emperor Bell instantly spun behind him.
With a deafening clang, the Space Blades struck the Eastern Emperor Bell, erupting in blinding light. Taiyi himself was jolted half a step forward.
At the same time, on the other side of Buzhou Mountain, Houtu and Jumang were being firmly restrained by Kunpeng alone.
Kunpeng spread his wings that hung from the heavens, and the North Sea Cold Water dripping from their tips instantly transformed into countless threads of water.
One side wove into a heavy water curtain, blocking the Earth Law Houtu had activated.
The earthen wall Houtu had just raised had not even fully formed before it was soaked through by the cold water and frozen until it cracked.
The earthen spikes bursting from the ground also froze into icy spikes the instant they touched the water curtain.
The other side drew the water threads around the Wood Element spiritual plants controlled by Jumang.
Jumang tried to grow vines to bind Kunpeng, but the vines froze stiff the moment they extended. Even the life radiance surrounding him was suppressed and dimmed by the cold air.
Kunpeng flapped both wings, sending countless icy water blades shooting toward the two of them.
Houtu had no choice but to tighten her Earth Law defenses, while Jumang had to divide his attention to cut apart the incoming water blades. For the moment, neither could join the siege against Dijun.
This left Dijun, who was entangled in battle with Rushou, Xuanming, and Tianwu, looking completely at ease.
The River Diagram and Luo Book floated before him, transforming into a Star Chart that encompassed all things.
The stars within the Star Chart flickered, each one corresponding to a Law attack.
Rushou held his golden spear, condensing Metal Element Law into thousands upon thousands of sharp blades as he hacked toward Dijun.
Yet the stars within the Star Chart blocked them. The blades crashed against the stars, erupting with deafening roars.
"Rushou, your Metal Element Law may be sharp, but it cannot break my River Diagram and Luo Book!"
Dijun's voice was cold as he lightly tapped the Star Chart with a finger.
A crimson star suddenly lit up, firing a pillar of Fire Element Law toward Rushou.
Rushou swung his spear to block it. The golden spear collided with the pillar of light, and the tremendous impact forced him back again and again, leaving cracks in the space beneath his feet.
Xuanming, meanwhile, was gathering Ice Element Law at the side. She opened her mouth and exhaled a breath of Nine Abyss Cold Air.
Wherever the cold air passed, the air froze into ice, and even space was sealed in ice crystals.
She waved both hands, and countless ice spikes shot toward Dijun, only for the Star Chart of the River Diagram and Luo Book to twist their trajectories.
The ice spikes flew past Dijun's robes and fell onto the battlefield below, freezing swathes of Yao Soldiers into ice sculptures.
Tianwu's eight heads howled together, and Wind Element Law summoned Eightfold Astral Wind. The astral wind tore through space, forming countless wind blades that pressed directly toward Dijun.
Dijun frowned slightly, and the Star Chart of the River Diagram and Luo Book instantly expanded, swallowing all the wind blades.
Then a blue star within the Star Chart lit up, launching a flood of Water Law back at him.
All eight of Tianwu's heads spat out hurricanes at once, colliding with the flood.
The explosive shockwave created by the mingling water and fire tore a breach even through the surrounding barriers of the starry domain.
Several nearby stars lost the support of Law Power and crashed down toward the Great Desolation Continent.
They smashed out bottomless craters, triggering tsunamis and earthquakes.
