Today, I'll either be beaten to death by all of you, or I'll beat all of you to death!

Like a phoenix's nirvana?

A Golden Crow reborn from flames?

The Ancestral Witches stood frozen in place.

Even Qiang Liang, caught off guard, took a hit from Tai Yi's Sun Divine Fire.

"Bastard, don't shake my Dao heart!"

Qiang Liang snapped back, dodging while roaring.

They refused to believe it!

It was pure fantasy!

Just then, Da Yi, limp in Lu Jun's grip, jolted awake at the violent energy and Tai Yi's words.

His eyes filled with terror, he screamed with all his might: "Ancestral Witch leader! It's true!"

"And that kid, after coming back to life, has a body comparable to an Ancestral Witch!"

"Beware of Tai Yi and the Em..."

Da Yi's roar cut off abruptly.

Lu Jun squeezed, knocking him out again.

The Witch Race's physique was tough—he'd woken up that fast.

"What?"

Qiang Liang, Di Jiang, Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, and even Tai Yi mid-battle—every top-tier powerhouse who heard this was shaken to their Mind and Spirit!

"Impossible!!"

Gong Gong was the first to bellow.

"Our Ancestral Witch bodies inherit Pangu Father God's Essence Blood, uniquely blessed, the strongest in the Prehistoric World!"

"A Golden Crow is just a feathered beast born from the Sun Star—how could it have a body matching an Ancestral Witch? Absurd!"

Di Jiang's gaze was sharp as a blade, the Power of Space rippling violently around him.

"Forged from Pangu Father God's Essence Blood, how could mere mortals compare? It's heaven and earth apart!"

They simply couldn't believe or accept this world-shattering news.

Tai Yi whipped his head toward Lu Jun, his eyes blazing with unprecedented light.

"Nephew! Is Da Yi telling the truth? Can your body truly rival an Ancestral Witch?"

Lu Jun pursed his lips, nodded helplessly, then quickly shook his head to clarify.

"Uncle Tai Yi, my case is special. I awakened the Nirvana power on my own, and my body did undergo that change."

"But those brothers of mine were reborn through Nirvana with my external help—their bodies probably aren't nearly as strong as mine."

"I see..."

A flicker of regret crossed Tai Yi's face, but it was instantly drowned by boundless joy and battle lust.

"Haha, no matter! No matter! Being reborn through Nirvana is already a heaven-sent fortune!"

"That you've achieved this, nephew, is a blessing our Golden Crow Clan has never seen in eons! Good! Good! Good!"

He shouted "good" three times, then spun around.

His gaze, like a burning sun, locked onto Qiang Liang, Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, and even Di Jiang behind them.

A nearly manic, provocative grin spread across his face:

"Come on! Today, This Seat wants to either kill you all, or be killed by you!"

"Qiang Liang, you old bastard, aren't you tough? Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, aren't you ruthless with water and fire? Come at me together!"

Before his words faded, Tai Yi actually withdrew some of his protective divine flames!

He gave up part of his defense, channeling all that Sun God Power into the most savage offense!

Today, either he killed them, or they killed him!

Like a sun burning to its limit, about to explode, he hurled himself at the three Ancestral Witches!

"Tai Yi! You're insane!"

Zhu Rong roared, slamming down a heaven-scorching giant palm.

"Courting death!"

Gong Gong condensed true water into a ten-thousand-zhang ice spear and thrust it forward.

Qiang Liang erupted with lightning, his fists crashing down like world-ending thunder hammers!

The combined strike of three enraged Ancestral Witches—its power could annihilate heaven and earth!

But!

Tai Yi was fiercer!

He was drenched in blood, covered in wounds!

Golden Crow Divine Feathers snapped and scattered, the Flame God Armor shattered inch by inch.

Beneath, bones flickering with golden light were cracking under the Ancestral Witches' immense force!

Golden blood burning with flames sprayed from his mouth.

But his eyes blazed with a terrifying brightness, and the smile on his face grew ever more manic:

"Good hit! Again! Harder! Kill me! Let me undergo Nirvana Rebirth too!"

He endured attacks that could fell a Quasi-Saint, burning his very essence as he fought back wildly.

Every punch and kick carried the desperation of mutual destruction.

"My Big Brother Di Jun is about to arrive with the Demon Race Army!"

"If you can't kill me today, once my army comes, I'll raze your Witch Race Ancestral Land to the ground!"

"If you can kill me... hahaha, then I'll just undergo Nirvana!"

"Big Brother Di Jun will properly 'thank' you for me! Hahaha!"

He was gambling his life entirely for a chance at Nirvana!

This reckless, even suicidal fighting style made Qiang Liang, Gong Gong, and Zhu Rong's scalps crawl!

Especially hearing the word "Nirvana," and recalling Lu Jun's physical potential "comparable to an Ancestral Witch,"

A flicker of absurd fear rose in their hearts!

Could they really kill Tai Yi and gift him a blessing?

Di Jiang's face was as dark as water, his eyes shifting uncertainly.

Just then, his massive frame trembled slightly, as if sensing something.

He jerked his head up to gaze at the distant horizon, where countless powerful demonic auras surged like a tide.

And the phantom of the Stars of the Heavens began to shimmer!

"Go! Retreat immediately!" Di Jiang made the call without hesitation.

"Big Brother!"

Qiang Liang roared in frustration, seeing Tai Yi grievously wounded and blood-soaked—the perfect moment to strike.

"Big Brother! How can we retreat like this!"

Zhu Rong also bellowed.

"The Demon Race Army is coming! The situation is hopeless! Go!"

Di Jiang's tone brooked no argument.

The Power of Space instantly expanded, like a giant net enveloping the three Ancestral Witches and Da Yi, their figures rapidly fading in spatial ripples.

Qiang Liang, Gong Gong, and Zhu Rong, despite their immense reluctance, could only glare fiercely at Tai Yi, who was like a mad demon, drenched in blood yet laughing without cease.

"Trying to leave! Dream on!"

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi quickly recalled the Eastern Emperor Bell, ready to cut off Di Jiang's path.

A sharp gleam flashed in Di Jiang's eyes, and the Power of Space swiftly enveloped Da Yi in Lu Jun's hands.

With the Chaos Bell, he couldn't save Da Yi; now that it was gone, he had a chance!

Boom!

"Crack!"

The Eastern Emperor Bell clashed violently with Di Jiang's Power of Space.

Space shattered, and Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches vanished.

Tai Yi panted heavily, his eyes flickering as he watched Di Jiang depart.

Golden blood continuously seeped from his cracked wounds, dripping onto the scorched earth with a sizzling sound, igniting small flames.

But the smile on his face was radiant, his eyes filled with unprecedented excitement.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

Unrestrained laughter echoed across the endless land.

Joy, relief, unbridled abandon!

Just then, the sky was torn open!

Demon Emperor Di Jun, leading a sky-darkening host of elite demons, rode rolling demonic clouds like a golden raging tide!

Di Jun immediately spotted his younger brother Tai Yi below, drenched in blood, his aura weak yet laughing wildly.

"Damned Ancestral Witches, to wound you so gravely!"

He roared, his aura shaking the heavens.

The River Diagram and Luo Book shot into the sky, and behind him, countless Star Banners in the Demon Race Army flapped loudly.

Endless Star Power cascaded from the heavens, transforming in an instant into a grand formation that enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Hahaha, Big Brother, worry not—I am unharmed."

Tai Yi had already recovered considerably, his voice steady as he spoke.

Then, as if recalling something, he added: "Big Brother, your nephews Bo Huang and Zhong Lang are also safe."

At these words, Xi He, who had been standing silently behind Di Jun with worry-filled eyes, instantly appeared before Tai Yi.

"My son is unharmed?"

Before Tai Yi could respond, a voice slowly sounded from the side.

"Mother!"
