Lu Jun had no idea what Tai Yi had realized.
But since he understood, that saved Lu Jun the trouble of making something up... explaining.
"Uncle Tai Yi, stop celebrating and hurry up! Take my brothers back to the Sun Star. They need energy for Nirvana right now!"
Lu Jun hurriedly urged Tai Yi again.
If they did not leave now, what if the Witch Race arrived soon?
"Yes, yes, yes! We need to leave!"
Chaos Qi circulated around the Chaos Bell above Tai Yi's head as he prepared to tear open the void.
"Rumble!!!"
At that very moment, a crisp crack suddenly rang out from the void.
Like glass shattering, space was violently torn open into several massive rifts!
Several towering figures emerged, carrying terrifying pressure powerful enough to rip apart heaven and earth!
Lu Jun: "..."
See? He had said the Witch Race would come!
"Hahaha! Tai Yi! How does it feel? Does the pain of losing your nephews pierce your heart?"
Di Jiang's laughter boomed like countless thunderclaps, carrying undisguised cruel delight.
He crossed his arms over his chest as the Power of Space subtly warped around him, as though it could crush this entire world at any moment.
Qiang Liang sneered, his fanged mouth glinting coldly. "How does it taste, His Majesty the Eastern Emperor? The wailing of a bereaved dog is my favorite sound!"
Water vapor churned around Gong Gong, forming phantoms of roaring tidal waves. "Tai Yi! Today, this place will be where your Golden Crow Clan is buri—"
His voice abruptly stopped!
The wild laughter and savage expressions on the faces of the Ancestral Witches instantly froze.
Their gazes locked tightly onto Tai Yi's side.
The one being held one-handed by that unfamiliar youth, weak in aura and unable to move... seemed to be the Great Witch their Witch Race took such pride in, Da Yi?
Da Yi?
How had he been captured?
And who was the one holding him?
"Release Da Yi!"
Qiang Liang roared furiously. Lightning erupted across his body like violent thunder serpents, and his muscles bulged.
No matter who this person was, daring to hold Da Yi in one hand was a desecration of the Witch Race!
Damn it!
"Hmph! You think I'll release him just because you said so?"
Tai Yi's icy voice carried the immense confidence and towering rage that came from having just comprehended the true essence of Nirvana.
He took a step forward and stood firmly in the center of that terrifying storm of pressure capable of tearing apart heaven and earth.
The True Sun Fire around him, which had briefly stagnated from shock, now seemed to be infused with boundless life and fury.
It exploded outward!
Golden flames surged into the sky!
They dyed half the heavens a blazing gold!
The terrifying pressure of the Ancestral Witches was forcibly driven back by the blazing emperor's flames!
In an instant, Tai Yi shielded Lu Jun and the eight eggs behind him.
"Tai Yi, you're courting death!"
Qiang Liang's roar sounded like ten thousand bolts of thunder erupting at once.
His figure remained unchanged as he continued forward.
"Rumble!!!"
His body instantly swelled.
Violent purple lightning coiled around his knotted muscles, every bolt containing terrifying power capable of tearing apart the void and annihilating all things.
Without any flourish, he threw a punch, combining pure physical strength with the Great Dao Laws of lightning!
Where his fist passed, space shattered inch by inch, leaving behind a black trail of vacuum.
The violent lightning condensed into a roaring primordial thunder beast that lunged straight at Tai Yi!
"Good! You old bastard Qiang Liang, today I'll use you to test my True Meaning of Golden Crow Nirvana!"
Tai Yi let out a long howl. Facing an attack capable of shattering stars, he neither dodged nor retreated.
He even deliberately threw out the Eastern Emperor Bell, leaving it suspended above Lu Jun and the eight enormous Golden Crow eggs to protect them!
The True Sun Fire burning around him instantly compressed and solidified.
It formed a suit of dazzling white Flame God Armor over his entire body as he thrust both hands forward!
"Boom!!!"
Pure Golden Crow divine fire collided violently with destructive lightning!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only light so brilliant it was blinding and terrifying annihilating force silently struggling and tearing against itself!
Like a fragile glass mirror, space twisted and shattered madly around the two of them.
Then it was instantly filled by violent currents of energy, only to shatter once more!
Qiang Liang's pupils narrowed slightly. He could feel that Tai Yi's True Sun Fire was more condensed and tyrannical than ever before.
The will contained within it even carried a kind of crazed joy.
"Tai Yi, what madness has taken you?"
Di Jiang, standing nearby, had clearly sensed that something was wrong with Tai Yi's state as well.
He was too insane!
He even seemed... to be seeking death!
Could it be that, because his nine nephews had died, Tai Yi no longer wanted to live either?
If that was truly the case...
A sharp glint flashed through Di Jiang's eyes. Perhaps today was the best chance to kill Tai Yi!
"Madness? Hahaha, I'm not mad. I'm thanking you!"
Tai Yi laughed wildly in the center of the violent energy storm. His long golden hair whipped about, and battle intent burned fiercely in his eyes.
Di Jiang: "???"
Thanking them?
What the hell was going on?
"What exactly are you talking about?"
Di Jiang was full of question marks.
If Tai Yi wanted to die, then fine, but why was he thanking them?
Had his brain broken?
As Tai Yi frantically circulated Sun God Power and invoked the Great Dao of the Sun to withstand Qiang Liang's thunderous fist and the power of his lightning Great Dao Laws,
his voice pierced through the energy storm, filled with immense exhilaration and mockery.
"What am I talking about? I'm saying I thank you barbarians for your scheme."
"If you had not painstakingly laid this vicious trap, lured my nephews into calamity, and forced them to die beneath those arrows—"
"I would never have known that my Golden Crow Clan could, like the Phoenix, rise from the flames through Nirvana and return from death!"
"Hahaha! You people of the Witch Race personally delivered this heaven-sent fortune to me and the Golden Crow Clan! Thank you!"
Di Jiang: "???"
Qiang Liang: "???"
Zhu Rong: "???"
Gong Gong: "???"
