In Western Paradise, Receiver smiled. "The more brutal Haotian becomes, the better. Fortune will ultimately return to the Buddhist Sect." Cundi also smiled. "Once Immortal Qin is defeated and the Heavenly Court collapses, the Buddhist Sect will become the ruler of the Primordial Wilderness."
Within Daluo Heaven, Taiqing watched Haotian's smugness with an indifferent expression.
Those who followed the Dao had many allies; those who defied it had few. Haotian acted against Heaven, and his fortune was draining away faster. The Heavenly Court's foundations had already been ruined.
Taiqing looked toward Eagle Sorrow Stream. The Dragon Race could also be incorporated into the scheme, after all, Ao Lie was part of the Journey to the West Calamity.
Using the Dragon Race as pieces could advance the Calamity.
Within the Heavenly Dao Void, Hongjun was about to finish comprehending the Heavenly Dao Authority. His gaze turned toward Purple Cloud Palace, where Tongtian was covered in blood.
Hongjun's expression turned solemn. Supported by boundless Heavenly Dao Power, he walked step by step toward the exterior of Purple Cloud Palace.
He did not strike again. Instead, he looked down coldly, intending to watch Tongtian struggle through countless hardships to leave Purple Cloud Palace before effortlessly erasing him, plunging Tongtian into complete despair.
Hongjun did not care about the Heavenly Court.
The overall situation had been decided. Immortal Qin was destined to fall.
Above the Thirty-Third Heaven, tens of millions of Dragon Race troops charged directly at Immortal Qin, and war erupted anew.
Haotian and the Buddhist Sect both revealed smug expressions, while Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
Haotian clearly intended to use the Dragon Race to weaken Immortal Qin, then let the Buddhist Sect take over in the end. Such a scheme was truly shocking.
Haotian thought Ying Zheng was afraid, so he laughed smugly.
He said, "Ying Zheng the Brat, if you are willing to kneel and admit defeat, I may preserve your True Spirit."
Burning Lamp also chuckled. "Why not enter the Buddhist Sect, Your Majesty? Then you will enjoy peace for all eternity."
Ying Zheng snorted. "What nonsense!"
Haotian replied coldly, "Then wait for death!"
At that very moment, heaven and earth suddenly shook violently. The winds and clouds changed color, war drums thundered, and blood-soaked killing intent surged into the skies.
All Primordial World Beings were alarmed!
What kind of upheaval was this?
"Witch! Witch! Witch!"
"War! War! War!"
Ancient battle cries rose from the depths of the earth and shot toward the Nine Heavens.
They awakened the memories etched into the fate of all Primordial World Beings!
Primordial powers cried out in shock:
"It's the Witch Race!"
"The Ancient Witch Race has reappeared!"
In an instant, everyone was utterly stunned!
Blood-soaked killing intent that blotted out the sun and sky swept downward!
The Witch Race, the ancient rulers of heaven and earth, had returned to the world!
The Great Witch Xingtian brandished Gan Qi and roared:
"Attack the Heavenly Court!"
"Destroy the Buddhist Sect!"
The Great Witches Xiangliu, Jiufeng, Kuafu, and Houyi followed close behind!
"Kill!"
Behind them stood endless War Witches, charging mightily toward the Heavenly Court.
They instantly tore through the encirclement of tens of millions of True Dragons. Countless True Dragons fell, plummeting beyond the Nine Heavens as their blood stained the East Sea.
Haotian, Burning Lamp, and the others were utterly shocked!
Had these Great Witches not fallen long ago?
With the Witch Race's return, it immediately displayed a terrifying dominance.
Though Xingtian and the other five Great Witches had only reached the peak of Da Luo, the strength of their physical bodies could crush ordinary Quasi-Saints.
They were unstoppable, directly routing tens of millions of Dragon Race troops.
The Great Witch Xingtian arrived before Ying Zheng.
By order of the Sage, I have come to aid the Human Emperor!
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were all confused.
Since when had Immortal Qin been in contact with Sage Houtu?
Yet Ying Zheng threw back his head and laughed.
He knew well that Lady Houtu of the Underworld was an ally of the Mysterious Master.
The Human Race and Witch Race had always been natural partners.
Ying Zheng waved his arm and declared:
"Today, the Human Race and Witch Race join forces to attack the Heavenly Court!"
Bai Qi and Xingtian exchanged glances and smiled, speaking in unison:
"Excellent!"
The Human-Witch Alliance pointed directly at the Heavenly Court Dragon Race.
All the great powers of the Primordial Wilderness were stunned.
The Human Race had actually formed an alliance with the Witch Race?
On Square Inch Mountain,
Sun Wukong looked somewhat surprised.
Why had the Underworld turned to support Immortal Qin?
Could Lady Houtu be the great expert behind Ying Zheng?
A thought suddenly arose in Sun Wukong's heart.
Lady Houtu clearly knew his Mysterious Master.
Perhaps she was the mysterious woman present when his master taught him back then.
(Nüwa: ???)
Although Sun Wukong no longer remembered what that woman looked like,
Lady Houtu clearly possessed extraordinary bearing and could be called a peerless beauty.
A gleam flashed through Sun Wukong's eyes.
That was right!
It had to be so!
Lady Houtu must be the Mysterious Master's companion.
If so, Lady Houtu was not only Ying Zheng's master, but also his own master's wife.
Wouldn't that make him half a fellow disciple of Ying Zheng?!
Sun Wukong suddenly felt excited.
In that case, this great undertaking of the Human Race attacking Heaven!
Wouldn't Old Sun also deserve a share of the credit?
At this moment.
Nüwa and Houtu both sneezed at the same time, frowning in confusion.
"What is going on?"
But neither gave it much thought. Their gazes remained fixed on the Heavenly Court.
Now that the Human Race and Witch Race had joined forces to attack Heaven, what trump cards did the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect still possess?
Heavenly Court.
Haotian was both furious and enraged. Faced with the Human-Witch Alliance's challenge, he found it unbelievable.
How could these two races, long since declining, dare act so arrogantly?
Haotian ordered all Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court to attack.
"Wipe them all out for me!"
Yet none of the Heavenly Court's Immortals and Gods dared move.
The Chan Sect and Interception Sect ignored the order entirely.
Haotian flew into a rage and brought out the Investiture of the Gods as a threat.
"Antarctic Immortal Elder! If you defy me again, I will erase your primordial spirits!"
Haotian's methods were cruel.
Antarctic Immortal Elder and the members of the Chan Sect and Interception Sect were filled with resentment, yet they had no choice but to fight.
Seeing this, Burning Lamp also ordered the Buddhist Sect disciples to aid the Heavenly Soldiers.
"Go and reinforce them!"
All Gods and Buddhas led tens of millions of True Dragons toward the Immortal Qin Army.
The battle once again entered its fiercest stage.
The Great Witches of the Witch Race fought with tremendous satisfaction.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also joined the battlefield.
The Immortal Qin Soldiers grew braver with every battle.
The Heavenly Court's situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The Heavenly Court's side was nothing but a disorderly mob.
No one was truly fighting.
The Dragon Race lacked the will to fight.
Wudang and Antarctic Immortal Elder were mainly protecting Chan and Jie in secret.
As for the Buddhist Sect...
They were unwilling to clash head-on, only allowing others to serve as cannon fodder.
Even a petty villain like Fixed Light Joyful Buddha hid behind Chan and Jie.
Chan and Jie wished they could deal with these traitors of the Three Teachings first.
With every side fighting among themselves, the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect camp was destined to lose.
Haotian's anger was beyond restraint.
Then his gaze shifted, landing on Burning Lamp Daoist.
"Fellow Daoist Burning Lamp, take this chance to kill Ying Zheng."
A glint flashed through Burning Lamp's eyes.
"Good."
He immediately took out the Twenty-Four Sea Pacifying Divine Pearls.
He fiercely attacked Ying Zheng.
Zhao Gongming burned with rage at the sight.
This man was actually using his magical treasure for such despicable deeds.
The others also noticed this scene.
They cried out in alarm.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors tried to stop him.
But it was already too late.
Burning Lamp sneered.
With such a powerful sneak attack, could he not kill a mere Golden Immortal of Grand Da Luo?
As long as he eliminated Ying Zheng, Burning Lamp would claim the foremost merit.
Just then!
A supreme streak of light tore through the air and shattered Burning Lamp's Sea Pacifying Pearls.
"Who was that?!"
Haotian roared in fury.
But Burning Lamp's expression suddenly changed drastically.
"The Three Treasures Jade Scepter?!"
That was a Sage's magical treasure!
The next moment!
Several streaks of golden light cut through the sky and descended. The Chan Sect had arrived on the battlefield, with Yun Zhongzi, Guangchengzi, and others appearing.
Yun Zhongzi held the Three Treasures Jade Scepter as his voice rang through the Nine Heavens.
"By the Sage's order, the Chan Sect shall aid Immortal Qin in attacking Heaven!"
Inside Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's face darkened.
Yuanshi actually dared make such a decision on his own!
But Tongtian, covered in blood, burst into laughter.
Unity of Three Teachings—this was the true Unity of Three Teachings!
Within the Heavenly Court, Haotian was both shocked and enraged.
"How can the Chan Sect Sage interfere in Primordial Wilderness affairs?"
Yun Zhongzi replied with a cold smile.
"And have the Buddhist Sect Sages not interfered as well?"
Haotian was left speechless.
Burning Lamp and Maitreya also had nothing to say.
At this moment, Guangchengzi said coldly:
"Enough words!"
"Today, the feud between the Chan Sect and the West must be settled!"
Before his words had even faded, Guangchengzi directly unleashed the cultivation of a Late Quasi-Saint.
He brought out the Heaven Flipping Seal and hurled it at Maitreya.
Maitreya's expression changed drastically as he hastily mobilized his cultivation to defend himself.
Yun Zhongzi also erupted with the power of a Peak Quasi-Saint. He swung the Three Treasures Jade Scepter, aiming straight at Burning Lamp.
"Burning Lamp, you must give Master an explanation!"
Burning Lamp's expression instantly changed.
He had never expected Yun Zhongzi to have reached the Peak Quasi-Saint realm, much less to be holding the Three Treasures Jade Scepter bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun.
How could he possibly withstand such a situation?
Burning Lamp did not dare underestimate him. He hurriedly used the Cosmos Ruler and the twenty-four Sea Pacifying Divine Pearls to block the attack.
Elsewhere.
True Lord Yuding circulated the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, brought out the Immortal Slaying Sword, and pointed it at Fear Leaving Sun Buddha.
"You Chan Sect traitors, today you must give an account!"
Fear Leaving Sun Buddha's expression changed dramatically.
True Lord Yuding had actually entered the Mid Quasi-Saint realm!
Immediately afterward, Chijingzi and the other Chan Sect Golden Immortals revealed their Quasi-Saint cultivation one after another, charging toward Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and the other Buddhist Sect Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
"Today, the Chan Sect cleans house!"
The Buddhist Sect members fell into chaos and defended themselves with all their strength.
Seeing this.
Yang Jian, Nezha, and the other third-generation Chan Sect disciples were overwhelmed with excitement.
They had never expected their respective masters to appear!
Their saintly grandmasters had never abandoned them. Seeing this scene, Antarctic Immortal Elder was filled with emotion.
Thinking of the Chan Sect's former glory, now finally restored, his heart swelled with feeling.
At that moment, Taiyi Zhenren unhesitatingly brought out the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, its powerful Quasi-Saint aura locking onto Fixed Light Joyful Buddha.
Fixed Light Joyful Buddha's expression changed drastically, and he could not help shouting, "Taiyi, I do not belong to your Chan Sect!"
Taiyi Zhenren replied coldly, "During the Investiture of the Gods, because of the Calamity, I committed a grave mistake that caused a junior sister of the Interception Sect to lose her life.
"Today, I will use the lives of Interception Sect traitors to atone for my departed fellow disciples!" Before his words had even faded, he charged straight at Fixed Light Joyful Buddha.
Cold sweat poured down Fixed Light Joyful Buddha's face.
He had only reached the Early Quasi-Saint realm by relying on the Buddhist Sect's power of incense offerings, and his foundation was shallow.
Why had every member of the Chan Sect become such a powerful Quasi-Saint?
Knowing he could not contend with Taiyi Zhenren, Fixed Light Joyful Buddha could only flee in panic.
This battle left Zhao Gongming and the other Interception Sect disciples feeling incomparably exhilarated, while also deeply shaken.
The Chan Sect's transformation was astonishing. Our Lady of Stone Ghoul was full of emotion, having never expected even someone as proud as Taiyi Zhenren to lower his head and admit his mistakes.
A faint smile curled on Our Lady of Wudang's lips. The Three Teachings had finally reconciled and would work together as one.
All of this had been arranged by Eldest Brother Taiqing.
At this moment, every great power of the Primordial Wilderness was shocked!
The Three Teachings, which had fought until heaven and earth shattered during the Deification era, had actually reconciled.
It was simply unbelievable!
Could the Three Teachings truly be returning to harmony?
Heavenly Court!
Haotian's expression was exceedingly grim.
The Heavenly Court had now completely fallen into a disadvantage.
Chan Sect powerhouses had emerged and forcefully suppressed the Buddhist Sect members.
Even a great power like Burning Lamp was too occupied with Yun Zhongzi's attacks to look after himself.
Meanwhile, under the joint forces of Immortal Qin and the Witch Race,
the vast Dragon Race army had been utterly crushed.
Countless True Dragons would rather endure punishment from the Heavenly Court than remain, fleeing back to the Four Seas.
The Heavenly Court's defeat in this great battle was already certain.
"I will never admit defeat!"
Haotian's eyes were bloodshot.
He suddenly looked toward the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court.
"Go invite Supreme Lord Laozi at once!"
Only a Good Corpse of a saint could turn the tide.
As long as Supreme Lord Laozi intervened,
Haotian still had a sliver of hope.
Yet the moment his words fell, no one responded.
Grand Yi Saving Suffering Celestial Worthy and the other Immortals and Gods had their bodies shattered and their primordial spirits weakened under the attacks of Immortal Qin and the Witch Race.
How could they still obey his orders?
The Immortals and Gods of the Chan Sect and Interception Sect, on the other hand, were completely unharmed.
But why would the Immortals and Gods of the Chan Sect and Interception Sect obey Haotian?
Haotian's face darkened.
He knew that the Immortals and Gods of the Chan Sect and Interception Sect bore resentment toward him.
But it did not matter. As long as the Investiture of the Gods remained in his hands!
