The First Clash of Wu Yao High-End Combat Power

"Elder Brother, what's going on?"

Watching the Ancestral Witches about to clash with the others, Nuwa was utterly bewildered.

"Not sure, let's watch first."

Fuxi was equally confused. Though the Twelve Ancestral Witches had entrenched themselves here, Mount Buzhou was vast beyond measure—were they really treating it as their own private domain?

Still, these people had all come because of the commotion from his Nephew Disciple's breakthrough. Since the Ancestral Witches were blocking the way, he was happy to sit back. If the Ancestral Witches held off the newcomers, or if both sides wore each other down, it would be even better for them to emerge later.

As for the Ancestral Witches being completely defeated, that thought never crossed Fuxi's mind. As mentioned, this was the Ancestral Witches' turf, and everyone in the Primordial World knew their might. Defeating all twelve Ancestral Witches was nothing short of a joke.

Currently locked in battle were Zhurong and Gonggong, the hot-tempered ones among the Ancestral Witches, facing off against the brothers Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

The enmity between the Wu and Yao had long festered. Whatever words had been exchanged moments ago, the two sides clashed directly.

The others stood by, watching.

The remaining Ancestral Witches naturally held back, keeping watch on the sidelines.

Dijun, clad in golden dragon-patterned battle armor, held the River Diagram and Luo Book. Ten thousand beams of golden light swirled around him, each containing vast reserves of True Sun Fire, making him seem like a miniature sun suspended in midair.

Donghuang Taiyi, draped in black mystic armor, gripped an ancient Chaos Bell. The bell's surface was etched with star patterns, trembling faintly with his breath, exuding a terrifying aura that could suppress heaven and earth.

Gonggong's black floodwaters surged a thousand zhang into the air, murky waves revealing countless ferocious water-beast phantoms.

The rock beneath Zhurong's feet instantly melted into crimson magma, ten-thousand-zhang flames erupting around him, with a massive beast's shadow flickering within the fire.

All four were at the peak of Grand Golden Immortal cultivation. Who would prevail was anyone's guess.

"Zhurong, do you Ancestral Witches truly mean to block us?"

"Spare the nonsense—let's settle it with a fight!"

"Hmph!"

Dijun snorted coldly, wasting no more words. With a flick of his wrist, the River Diagram and Luo Book unfurled in the air, countless golden runes flying out to form a canopy of stars, sealing the space around the Chaos Essence Crystal.

Donghuang Taiyi said nothing, merely giving the Chaos Bell a gentle shake.

"Huum..."

A low chime rang out, like a roar from ancient times. The space atop Mount Buzhou twisted instantly, and even the laws of power around Zhurong and Gonggong briefly faltered.

Even the onlookers in the distance felt their minds shaken.

Such was the Chaos Bell's might. As a Primordial Supreme Treasure, it could attack, defend, and disrupt an opponent's law circulation—even Ancestral Witches at the Grand Golden Immortal peak couldn't fully resist it.

Seeing this, Gonggong roared, "Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, do you think the Witch Clan is so easy to bully?"

He slammed both hands against the ground. The ice atop the mountain peak for millions of li around shattered instantly, and countless black water pillars erupted from the depths, coalescing into a ten-thousand-zhang black water dragon that lunged at Dijun with claws bared.

Where the black water dragon passed, the air froze, thick ice formed on the ground, and even space itself frosted over.

Dijun sneered. A beam of golden light flew from the River Diagram and Luo Book, forming a massive sun that hovered above the black water dragon.

True Sun Fire poured down like a waterfall, colliding with the black water dragon.

"Sizzle..."

A piercing sound spread in all directions. The black water evaporated rapidly under the True Sun Fire's blaze, turning into vast white mist, while the True Sun Fire itself was partially frozen by the black water, its radiance dimming.

Seizing the chance, Zhurong's flames surged again. The Nanming Lihuo Saber reformed, its blade blazing with fierce fire as if to burn through the entire sky.

He leaped, slashing a ten-thousand-li-long fiery arc straight at Donghuang Taiyi.

Where the fire arc passed, space warped and twisted, and even the surrounding spiritual energy ignited, turning into a sea of flames.

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes sharpened. He slammed the Chaos Bell against the ground.

"Dong..."

A louder chime rang out. A visible soundwave spread from the Chaos Bell, colliding with the fire arc.

The fire arc shattered instantly into sparks, while the soundwave paused briefly before continuing toward Zhurong.

Zhurong's expression shifted. He flipped his hands, and the flames around him condensed into a massive fire shield.

With a "boom," the soundwave struck the shield. The shield trembled violently, cracks spreading across its surface, and Zhurong was sent flying backward again, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Elder Brother, aren't we stepping in yet?" Xuan Ming urged Dijiang anxiously.

"Yeah, Elder Brother, those two mangy birds are just relying on their treasures. Let's show them the Ancestral Witches' true power!"

"Elder Brother, give the order!"

"Wait a little longer. Trust Zhurong and Gonggong. If it really comes to it, I'll act," Dijiang said gravely, his eyes fixed on the battlefield.

He wanted to gauge just how powerful those treasures were. Unfortunately, the Ancestral Witches didn't cultivate their Primordial Spirit, so treasures offered them little boost.

The others, too, had witnessed the treasures' might. They hadn't expected a Primordial Supreme Treasure to amplify strength to such a degree, and their interest in the rare artifact within the Seven-Colored Light Pillar only grew.

On the other side, Gonggong flew to Zhurong's side and said solemnly, "Alone, we can't match those Primordial Supreme Treasures."

His black water surged again, intertwining with Zhurong's flames to form a black-and-white light curtain.

Water and fire—two opposing laws—under the combined might of the two Ancestral Witches, produced a strange resonance, exuding an even more terrifying aura.

Zhurong nodded, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, a flicker of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. "Then let them witness the true power of our Witch Clan's Ancestral Witches!"

He and Gonggong raised their hands at the same time. The black-and-white light curtain instantly swelled, transforming into a colossal hand that reached toward Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.

Wherever the hand passed, space was torn apart, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth churned violently. Even the star formation laid down by the River Diagram and Luo Book began to tremble fiercely.

Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi's expressions turned grim. They could feel the terrifying power contained within that hand—the force born from the perfect fusion of water and fire laws. Even they dared not withstand it head-on.

Dijun unfurled the River Diagram and Luo Book once more. Countless golden runes flew out, resonating with the star patterns on the Chaos Bell in Donghuang Taiyi's hand, forming a golden barrier that firmly shielded the two of them.

BANG!!

The massive hand slammed into the barrier with a deafening roar.

The barrier shuddered violently, its surface cracking in countless places. Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi both let out muffled groans as their bodies were sent flying backward.

But they were not defeated. The power of the River Diagram and Luo Book and the Chaos Bell poured endlessly into the barrier, gradually repairing the cracks.

"We can't keep testing the waters. Don't forget—there are still other Ancestral Witches here, as well as those watching from the sidelines!"

Donghuang Taiyi said in a low voice.

"But you haven't fully refined the Chaos Bell yet. Is this really alright?"

"Don't worry, Elder Brother. I know what I'm doing."

"Then I'll support you from behind at any moment."

"Mm!!"

With that, Donghuang Taiyi prepared to fully activate the Chaos Bell.
