Tai Yi Goes Mad! Seeking Death!

Lu Jun had absolutely no idea what Tai Yi thought he understood.

But since you get it, that saves me the trouble of making up... I mean, explaining.

"Uncle Tai Yi, don't get too excited. Hurry up and take the brothers back to the Sun Star—they need energy for their nirvana right now!"

Lu Jun urged Tai Yi again.

If they didn't leave soon, what if the Witch Race showed up?

"Right, right, right! Let's go!"

Tai Yi's Chaos Bell hovered above his head, Chaos Qi swirling as he prepared to tear through the void.

"BOOM!!!"

Just then, a sharp crack rang out from the void.

Like shattering glass, space was ripped open by brutal force into several massive fissures!

Several towering, heaven-defying figures stepped out with a terrifying pressure that seemed to tear heaven and earth apart, rampantly and ruthlessly!

Lu Jun: "..."

See? I told you the Witch Race would come!

"Hahaha! Tai Yi! How is it? The pain of losing your nephews—does it cut to the bone?"

Di Jiang's laughter boomed like a thousand thunderclaps, dripping with undisguised, cruel glee.

He crossed his arms, the Power of Space twisting faintly around him, as if ready to crush this realm at any moment.

Qiang Liang grinned savagely, tiger fangs glinting coldly: "How does it feel, Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor? This Seat loves hearing the whimper of a stray dog!"

Gong Gong's body churned with watery vapor, forming roaring tidal phantoms: "Tai Yi! This place today will be where your Golden Crow Clan is buried—"

His voice cut off abruptly!

The manic grins and ferocious expressions on the Ancestral Witches' faces froze instantly.

Their gazes locked onto Tai Yi's side.

That unfamiliar youth was holding a single hand—limp, weak, unable to move—and it looked like their Witch Race's proud Great Witch, Da Yi?

Da Yi?

How did he get caught?

And who was the one holding him?

"Release Da Yi!"

Qiang Liang roared, lightning exploding like frenzied thunder serpents across his bulging muscles.

Whoever this was, daring to carry Da Yi like that was an insult to their Witch Race!

Death!

"Hmph! You say release, and I just obey?"

Tai Yi's icy voice carried the vast confidence and blazing fury of one who had just grasped the true meaning of nirvana.

He stepped forward, standing firm in the center of the terrifying storm of pressure that could tear heaven and earth apart.

The True Sun Fire around him, which had faltered from shock, now surged as if infused with boundless life force and rage.

It exploded upward!

Golden flames towered!

Dyeing half the sky a blazing gold!

The dreadful Ancestral Witch pressure was forced back by this burning imperial flame!

In an instant, he shielded Lu Jun and the eight eggs behind him.

"Tai Yi, you're asking for death!"

Qiang Liang's roar was like ten thousand thunders striking as one.

His form didn't change as he pressed forward.

"BOOM!!!"

His body swelled instantly.

Ropy muscles coiled with violent purple lightning, each bolt carrying the terrifying power to tear the void and annihilate all things.

No tricks, no flair—pure physical might combined with the Great Dao Laws of Thunder as he threw a single punch!

Where the fist passed, space shattered inch by inch, leaving a pitch-black vacuum trail.

The frenzied lightning power coalesced into a roaring ancient thunder beast, lunging straight at Tai Yi!

"Good! Qiang Liang, you old bastard, today I'll test my True Meaning of Golden Crow Nirvana on you!"

Tai Yi let out a long cry, facing this blow that could shatter stars without dodging or evading.

He even deliberately tossed out the Eastern Emperor Bell, making it hover above Lu Jun and the eight Golden Crow eggs to guard them!

The True Sun Fire blazing around him instantly compressed and solidified.

It transformed into a set of dazzling white Flame God Armor covering his entire body, as both hands thrust forward with force!

"BOOM!!!"

Pure Golden Crow Divine Fire and Annihilation Thunder crashed head-on!

No earth-shattering explosion—only blindingly intense light and terrifying annihilation power silently wrestling and tearing apart.

Space, fragile as a glass mirror, twisted and shattered wildly around the two of them.

Then instantly refilled by the violent energy flow, only to shatter again!

Qiang Liang's pupils contracted. He could feel that Tai Yi's True Sun Fire was unprecedentedly condensed and overbearing.

The will within it carried a kind of frenzied joy.

"Tai Yi, have you lost your mind?"

Di Jiang, standing nearby, clearly sensed something off about Tai Yi's state.

Too insane!

Even... carrying a hint of death-seeking intent!

Could it be that, because his nine nephews had died, Tai Yi no longer wished to live?

If that were truly the case...

Di Jiang's eyes flashed with sharp light. Perhaps today was the perfect moment to finish off Tai Yi!

"Lost my mind? Hahaha, I haven't lost my mind—I'm thanking you!"

Tai Yi laughed wildly at the center of the violent energy storm, his golden flame-like hair whipping about, battle intent blazing in his eyes.

Di Jiang: "???"

Thanking us?

What the hell is going on?

"What are you even talking about?"

Di Jiang was full of question marks.

You want to die, fine, but thanking us?

Has your brain gone rotten?

Tai Yi, while frantically driving the Sun God Power and mobilizing the Great Dao of the Sun to clash head-on with Qiang Liang's thunderous fists and the power of the Thunder Dao, Let his voice pierce through the energy storm, brimming with glee and mockery.

"What am I saying? I'm saying I thank you barbarians for your scheming."

"If you hadn't painstakingly set this vicious trap, lured my nephews into calamity, and forced them to die beneath arrows,"

"This Emperor would never have known that my Golden Crow Clan could, like the Phoenix, bathe in fire, undergo Nirvana, and rise from the dead!"

"Hahaha, this immense fortune was handed to me, to the Golden Crow Clan, by your Witch Race yourselves! Thank you!"

Di Jiang: "???"

Qiang Liang: "???"

Zhu Rong: "???"

Gong Gong: "???"
