As Jieyin and Zhunti arrived, the air filled with killing intent.
Upon hearing Zhunti's suggestion, Di Jun's eyes flickered. She was already extremely displeased with the Witch Clan.
Although Jieyin's proposal was beneath her, it was exactly what she wanted.
The twelve members of the Witch Clan gathered, their strength so immense that it would indeed be difficult for just the two sisters to resist them.
If they could enlist Jieyin and Zhunti, their chances of victory would increase greatly.
"Good!"
With this thought, Di Jun decisively agreed.
Donghuang Taiyi was even more straightforward, shouting loudly, "The Witch Clan is arrogant, and everyone has the right to punish them. Today, I will join forces with the two Fellow Daoists to strike down this beast!"
"Excellent!"
Jieyin and Zhunti were overjoyed at this.
In an instant, the situation on the field changed again.
Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, four individuals, jointly faced the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"Good! Today, I will let you flock of assorted birds and bald donkeys witness the strength of my Witch Clan!"
Dijiang sneered, no longer suppressing her sisters' fighting spirit.
In an instant, twelve distinct, sky-piercing auras of killing intent surged upwards.
Dijiang's figure flickered, activating the Space Law, and she instantly appeared before Di Jun.
Zhujiuyin's eyes opened and closed, the power of the Time Law winding around Donghuang Taiyi.
Zhurong and Gonggong directly engaged Jieyin and Zhunti, their water and fire powers intertwining, unleashing terrifying might.
Di Jun wielded the River Diagram and Luo Shu, evolving the Myriad Stars Array, while Donghuang Taiyi activated the Chaos Bell, suppressing the elemental forces.
Jieyin and Zhunti unleashed their full power, the Golden Lotus protecting their bodies, the Treasure Tree fending off enemies.
However, they were facing the Twelve Ancestral Witches, whose cultivation had already greatly increased.
Ever since Chu Feng gave them three Innate Primordial Spirits, the overall strength of the Ancestral Witches had significantly improved, and they had also obtained Pangu's inheritance, the Nine Forms of Heaven Splitting.
Their strength had long surpassed their past selves, and in just a few breaths, the battle situation had become clear.
"Pfft!"
Zhunti, caught off guard, was struck by Qiangliang and spat blood as he was sent flying.
Jieyin was also forced to retreat by the combined efforts of Zhurong and Gonggong, fleeing in a panic.
On the other side, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were even more disheveled.
Although Donghuang Taiyi had the supreme treasure Chaos Bell protecting her, she was toyed with by Zhujiuyin's Time Law and Dijiang's Space Law, rendering more than half of her strength unusable.
Di Jun was suppressed by the combined efforts of Jumang and Shebishi. It wasn't that Di Jun wasn't strong enough.
It was that they had jointly unleashed the Nine Forms of Heaven Splitting, and Di Jun had not yet achieved the 'slashing the corpse' stage.
Facing Ancestral Witches who were comparable to half-step Hunyuan Golden Immortals and had comprehended the Nine Forms of Heaven Splitting, how could she possibly win?
"Retreat!"
Di Jun made a decisive call, transforming into two golden lights with Donghuang Taiyi, fleeing in embarrassment, their faces extremely grim.
Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti dared not linger any longer, quickly raising their auspicious clouds and fleeing the battlefield without looking back.
Four against twelve, and in just one exchange, the demons and the two from the West suffered a crushing defeat.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches achieved a great victory, and for a time, their aura was overwhelming, suffocating all the powerful beings present.
Zhurong laughed triumphantly, "Who else! Who else dares to come forward and seek death?"
The entire place was dead silent; no one dared to step forward.
At the same time, Hongjun retreated into the endless void, and a shadowy black figure silently coalesced.
"Heavenly Dao, why do you seek me?" Hongjun asked, puzzled.
The Heavenly Dao exuded its aura and questioned, "Hongjun, during the sermon at Purple Heaven Palace, why did Nuwa not occupy a cushion, but instead Di Jun did? Do you not know she is one of the Heavenly-ordained Saints? Your actions have disrupted the predetermined order. Do you not intend to give me an explanation?"
Hongjun's delicate body trembled; she had long expected the Heavenly Dao to come for this matter.
She bowed slightly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Heavenly Dao, I took it upon myself to act. Nuwa has a good relationship with Chu Feng. He told me about this a thousand years ago and asked me not to make things difficult for Nuwa."
The Heavenly Dao's phantom considered for a moment. It was not convenient to eliminate Chu Feng at this time.
Currently, Chu Feng was the only male creature in the Primordial World. Without his help, the upcoming Calamity would be very troublesome. For example, Nuwa would need Chu Feng's help to create the Human Race. Once the Human Race was created by Nuwa, after the Witch-Demon Calamity, the next Calamity, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, could be initiated. As for Nuwa? The grand scheme would not be affected by her absence.
In the Heavenly Dao's view, Nuwa's crucial role was to create the human race, laying the foundation for subsequent Calamities.
Of course, the Heavenly Dao had no intention of letting Nuwa off the hook easily.
With this in mind, the Heavenly Dao decided to prioritize the Calamity: "Hmph, this is the last time."
"However, it won't do for Chu Feng to keep disrupting the Calamity. You have a good relationship with him, speak to him and ask him to give you a wisp of Extreme Yang Power to help Dong Wanggong complete her Yang origin, assisting her in forming into a male and ruling over the male immortals."
"No problem, I will explain it to him."
Hongjun readily agreed, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that this hurdle had been passed.
Hongjun's thoughts churned, and she remembered Dong Wanggong. Although he was the first wisp of yang energy to form in the Primordial World, the Great Dao of Yang had vanished.
This caused a mishap during his transformation, resulting in him appearing with a female body and male features, half-male and half-female.
"Well, Hongjun, you have made contributions in preaching in the Primordial World. I have decided to grant you more merit and push your cultivation to the realm of a half-step Heavenly Dao Saint," the Heavenly Dao said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Hongjun was overjoyed. "I didn't expect the Heavenly Dao to be so generous."
The Heavenly Dao, however, had a different idea.
Now that a variable had appeared in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao needed a more powerful Hongjun to restore order.
"Thank you, Heavenly Dao."
As Hongjun spoke, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Heavenly Dao, I deduced the Heavenly secrets and found more than a dozen variables appearing out of nowhere. Why is this?"
The Heavenly Dao's phantom put on a profound and inscrutable expression and said with a mysterious smile, "Don't panic, it's just a dozen variables.
Hongjun, you represent me in governing the Dao. If you can't even handle such minor troubles, I don't mind finding someone else to take your place."
Cold sweat broke out on Hongjun's forehead. How could she not understand what the Heavenly Dao meant?
The Heavenly Dao's meaning was clear: Hongjun, if you're not up to it, I'll find someone who is. I don't lack you.
Hongjun had been planning for countless years and naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.
"Heavenly Dao, please calm your anger. A mere dozen variables, I can handle them, I can handle them. I will never let the general trend of the Primordial World slip out of control."
The Heavenly Dao's phantom curled its lips into a smile. "That is for the best."
Immediately, the Heavenly Dao's phantom gave Hongjun a meaningful look and thought to herself, "Hongjun, you truly have potential. Even I am not sure, yet you claim you can handle it."
Hongjun was naturally unaware of the Heavenly Dao's thoughts and merely believed that the Heavenly Dao had calmed down.
"Good, you should go back to seclusion. I will bestow merit later to push your cultivation to half-step Heavenly Dao Saint."
The Heavenly Dao waved its hand, and Hongjun disappeared into the void.
"Hmph, Heavenly Dao, we'll see. Once you and I have merged with the Dao, I will become Dao Companions with Chu Feng and let you experience the feeling of dual cultivation."
After returning to her residence, Hongjun's expression darkened. She glanced at the void and said with a sinister smile.
The Heavenly Dao's attitude made her very unhappy.
She had endured it for a long time.
She wanted to retaliate and make the Heavenly Dao personally experience what it felt like to be "penetrated"
