Tai Yi's Secret, the Witch Race Comes to Aid
This time, the demon race was truly enraged by Jiu Feng's breakthrough.
Therefore, Tai Yi did not hold back at all, but instead unleashed his full power.
It served both as a warning to Cihang and as a way to establish authority in front of the other cultivators.
For this reason, many cultivators have been paying attention to this matter.
After learning the Karma, many cultivators secretly gloated.
The demon race brought this upon themselves.
Although the demon race is powerful, it is not popular because of its domineering behavior.
Seeing that the demon race had suffered a hidden loss, the cultivators were also delighted.
Cihang is no longer one of those cultivators who can be easily bullied.
Even Tai Yi had to admit his mistake and apologize.
I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly Tai Yi challenged Cihang to a duel under the guise of discussing the Dao.
Although Cihang is quite strong, no one believes he can compare to Tai Yi.
Cihang's combat power was indeed impressive, but his opponent was ultimately just the Evil Corpse of the Yuanshi.
They all knew that although this confrontation was ostensibly a discussion of Dao, it was actually meant to teach Cihang a lesson.
Even so, Cihang still agreed.
The cultivators also secretly watched the battle by entrusting their divine thoughts to spiritual treasures.
Although the Seven Sha Spirit Severing Sword is only of superior grade, with the enhancement of the Sword Formation, its power rivals that of a top-grade spiritual treasure.
With the Sea-Calming Pearl and the All Beings Seal assisting him, although slightly inferior to Tai Yi, he showed no signs of defeat.
Tai Yi, on the other hand, focused solely on operating the Eastern Emperor Bell, constantly closing in on Cihang.
The two claimed to be exchanging ideas and discussing principles, but they showed no sign of holding back, and every move they made was a deadly attack.
In the battle against Tai Yi, Cihang dared not slacken in the slightest.
The Glazed Pure Vase had already been summoned, protecting itself while continuously replenishing its consumed mana.
Cihang has also been searching for Tai Yi's weakness.
He discovered that, from beginning to end, the only magical treasure that Tai Yi truly used to fight enemies was the Eastern Emperor Bell.
It's not just about this battle with him.
Looking back at Tai Yi's battle, Cihang realized that he had hardly used any other magical treasures.
Given Tai Yi's strength and status, it's impossible that he doesn't possess any other spiritual treasures.
His actions—concealing the Chaos Bell while simultaneously and openly using it to fight enemies—are inherently contradictory.
It's understandable to endure when one's strength is insufficient.
Given Tai Yi's current strength and status, even with the Chaos Bell in his possession, no one can forcibly take it from him.
Is it because it wasn't fully refined? Is the continuous use of the Chaos Bell also to deepen the imprint within it?
Cihang couldn't help but have some guesses.
Being born with the Chaos Bell as a companion, Tai Yi naturally possesses immense fortune.
The higher the grade of a spiritual treasure, the more difficult it is to refine.
Although Tai Yi was born with the fortune of Heaven, he was not of Pangu Bloodline.
It is also plausible to say that the Chaos Bell could not be fully refined.
Only in this way can the high-profile Di Jun and Tai Yi continue to conceal the true form of the Chaos Bell.
If it is a fully refined spiritual treasure, it is almost impossible to forcibly seize it unless the cultivator dies.
However, there is a very high chance that a spiritual treasure that has not been fully refined can be stolen.
Cihang's mind raced, but her attacks never ceased.
To verify her hypothesis, Cihang captured a wisp of the Chaos Bell's aura and placed it into the Treasure Gathering Basin.
The previously still Treasure Gathering Basin suddenly began to tremble violently, and the fortune within it rapidly dissipated.
Cihang quickly sealed that wisp of energy, stopping the agitation of the Treasure Gathering Basin.
As expected, Tai Yi did not completely refine the Chaos Bell.
Unlike the Treasure Dropping Golden Coin, if it is a spiritual treasure that has completely recognized its owner, the Treasure Gathering Basin will not react.
Cihang did want the Chaos Bell, too.
Unfortunately, the treasures accumulated in the Treasure Gathering Basin are simply not enough to seize a supreme treasure.
Moreover, the Chaos Bell concerns the Demon Race Fortune, so it cannot be touched at this time.
He couldn't even reveal the Chaos Bell's whereabouts, otherwise he would gain nothing but the resentment of the demon race.
Meanwhile, the battle between the two continued to escalate.
Despite giving it her all, Cihang was still inevitably suppressed by Tai Yi.
Even if it wasn't fully refined, it was still Primordial Supreme Treasure.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, with these methods alone, you cannot withstand the attack of my Eastern Emperor Bell."
Let's go all out!
Otherwise, I'm afraid I might not be able to stop in time!
Tai Yi's words were also full of domineering power.
However, he also knew that Cihang's strength was not limited to this.
Even the Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler from before was not revealed.
"Very well, then please have a look at this Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler."
When the Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler appeared, it scattered purple energy across the sky, causing even the chaos to give way.
Cihang did not attack Tai Yi directly, but instead placed the Heaven Measuring Ruler on the Seven Sha Spirit Severing Sword.
The dark Seven Sha Sword Qi was stained dark purple, and its power increased more than tenfold.
In an instant, a murderous aura filled the air and enveloped Tai Yi.
That murderous aura was composed entirely of fine, dense sword energy, radiating a terrifying killing intent.
"Excellent tactics! This is more like the kind of opponent I should have!"
Tai Yi's expression instantly became serious.
The Eastern Emperor Bell emitted an even louder chime, causing the chaos to constantly retreat.
The cultivators watching the battle were all secretly alarmed.
They were well aware of Tai Yi's strength, which had been clearly demonstrated in the battle against Candle Dragon.
But this time, Cihang surprised them even more.
Compared to last time, Cihang's strength has become even greater.
Cihang is not the strongest among the Quasi-Saints, but he is definitely the one who has improved the fastest.
No one knows where Cihang's future limits lie.
Just as the battle between the two intensified, a murderous aura shot straight into the chaos.
Immediately afterwards, the twelve Witch Race stepped into the chaos together, heading straight for the two at the center of the battle.
The Witch Race had always been eager to Cihang a favor.
The reason Tai Yi had to take action this time was because of their Witch Race, so naturally they wouldn't stand idly by.
"It's just a normal sparring match, why do you Ancestral Witch want to do something?"
Di Jun waved his hand and summoned the River Diagram and Luo Book, which instantly formed an array to block the group of Ancestral Witch.
As can be seen, there are countless demons within the Primordial River-Luo Great Array.
Although these demons are at most at the Great Luo realm, when combined with the innate grand formation, they exude an extremely terrifying aura.
"Whether it was truly a friendly sparring match or not, you know best."
This matter arose because of the Witch Race; how could we possibly stand idly by!
Di Jiang coldly stared at the group of Di Jun and the group of demons.
"If you stop now, fine, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!"
Zhu Rong was bursting with fighting spirit, as if she was about to make a move at any moment.
The other Ancestral Witch were also eager to try, as their dissatisfaction with the demon race had a long history.
"Very well, since you are not afraid of waging war against the Lich King, how could I, Di Jun, be afraid!"
As soon as Di Jun finished speaking, the Primordial River-Luo Great Array also changed.
The demons among them raised their banners, which transformed into a phantom starry sky.
Di Jun was indeed unable to stop the Twelve Ancestor Witches, but he had a powerful formation to rely on.
Even though the Great Zhou Celestial Array is not yet fully perfected, it is still enough to block the twelve Witch Race.
