Both were among the two great races of the primordial world, and each possessed its own advantages.
The Witch Race excelled in formidable combat strength, but they reproduced with difficulty. The Demon Race, meanwhile, had far greater numbers, outnumbering the Witch Race several times over.
The war between the two races was no exception.
There were even cases on the battlefield where two or three demons besieged a single witch.
Though the Witch Race had not been defeated, the battle had been exceptionally difficult.
That changed with Cihang's arrival. Once he made his overwhelming move, the situation began to shift.
With Cihang's strength, cultivators below the Golden Immortal realm were no match for him at all.
In only a short time, countless demons had already fallen at Cihang's hands.
This greatly eased the pressure on the Witch Race.
Cihang did not merely kill those demons; he did not spare even their corpses.
Holy Light of Purification descended, instantly devouring the vitality within the corpses. They turned into white bones and scattered between heaven and earth.
At this point in the primordial world, there was still no reincarnation. Once one fell, one was utterly destroyed, body and soul alike.
The power of life represented vitality and creation, but when reversed, it could likewise reap lives and become Yama.
Cihang's forceful and ruthless methods directly intimidated the demons.
Who would have imagined that a cultivator with such a gentle face and temperament could be so fierce and domineering when he struck?
Not only the demons, but even the Witch Race cultivators were equally astonished.
The witches were naturally very familiar with Cihang, and most of them had sparred with him before.
But at that time, Cihang had only displayed the strength of his physical body, nothing like his present overbearing might.
Only now did they realize that, in terms of true strength, Cihang far surpassed them.
When he had sparred with them before, Cihang had held back.
Seeing Cihang attack so forcefully and crush the demons' morale, the demon experts grew anxious as well.
But when they tried to break free, their opponents stopped them one after another.
How could the Witch Race's Grand Unity experts let such a fine opportunity slip away?
Though they were also surprised by Cihang's true strength, it brought nothing but benefits to the Witch Race.
They immediately did their utmost to hold back the demon Grand Unity experts, creating an opportunity for Cihang.
In Cihang, they saw a chance to turn this battle around.
With the Grand Unity Demon King held back, he could only issue an order for all Golden Immortals to kill Cihang with everything they had.
The Witch Race Golden Immortals followed suit, beginning to block the demon Golden Immortals with all their strength.
Even so, several Golden Immortals broke free from their opponents and converged on Cihang.
"Courting death!"
Looking at the demon Golden Immortals closing in to besiege him, Cihang had no intention of evading them.
Demon Golden Immortals at the Golden Immortal Peak might have been somewhat troublesome, but several who had only just entered the Golden Immortal realm were merely throwing away their lives.
"Wood Spirit Divine Thunder, descend!"
With a shout from Cihang, wood spiritual essence gathered between heaven and earth, forming a thundercloud that blanketed the sky above them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Divine thunderbolts instantly crashed down upon the demon Golden Immortals.
"Ah! It's actually thunder arts!"
"Damn it! You actually possess a thunder-based divine ability!"
As the divine thunder descended upon them, the demon Golden Immortals panicked for a moment and hurriedly activated their Spiritual Treasure Divine Abilities.
For these ordinary demons, thunder arts were their natural bane.
"Azure Dragon Battle Skill!"
Before the Wood Spirit Divine Thunder ceased, Cihang unleashed another battle skill, transforming it into nine azure dragons each hundreds of zhang long as they charged toward the group.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Cihang had never held back against an enemy, never giving his opponents a chance to retaliate or turn the tables.
The azure dragons threw back their heads and roared, instantly entangling themselves with the demons in battle.
The Jade Divine Seal also transformed into an immeasurable divine mountain, crushing down upon the demons' Spiritual Treasures.
Under Cihang's overwhelming assault, those demon Golden Immortals instantly fell into a disadvantage.
How was this someone who had only just entered the Golden Immortal realm? Calling him a Golden Immortal Peak cultivator would not have been an exaggeration.
At that moment, boundless regret rose in the hearts of the demon Golden Immortals. They regretted ever provoking Cihang.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"It's time to end this. Let ten thousand thunderbolts fall!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The dense Wood Spirit Divine Thunder lit up the heavens and extinguished the final traces of life from those Golden Immortals.
Under the Wood Spirit Divine Thunder, those demon Golden Immortals did not even have time to scream.
This scene fell into the eyes of the other demons, who hurriedly fled from Cihang's vicinity.
Even demons could not truly be fearless of death. For a time, the demons' morale plummeted.
The Witch Race, on the other hand, was greatly invigorated. They began a fierce counterattack, killing cultivator after cultivator.
Yet Cihang did not stop there. Seeing that the Wood Spirit Divine Thunder restrained the demons, he directly directed the divine thunder to crash down upon them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Ah!"
"Don't!"
"The tide has turned! Run!"
This wave of Wood Spirit Divine Thunder shattered the demons' last remnants of morale. For a time, screams and curses spread across the battlefield.
Some demons even disregarded orders and fled the battlefield one after another.
The demon Grand Unity experts knocked back their opponents, then turned and fled, issuing orders in furious frustration.
"Hmph, retreat!"
At the same time, a cold and sinister gaze fixed on Cihang, committing his appearance and aura to memory.
The situation was beyond saving. If they continued, every one of them would be left here.
In the end, the Witch Race still failed to stop the demon Grand Unity experts who were determined to escape. They could only watch them flee in disarray.
Cihang naturally noticed that gloomy, venomous gaze as well.
In truth, from the moment he decided to act, he had already anticipated that he would provoke the Demon Race.
But as a cultivator, he could not endure everything blindly. That would truly make him lose his sharpness and ambition.
Besides, from the moment he rejected the Demon Race, peaceful coexistence with them had already become impossible.
The commotion caused by Chiyu's pursuit of him had been far too great to conceal.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to act timidly.
"Jiu Feng, I, Bi Fang, will not let today's matter end like this."
Accompanied by an angry roar, Bi Fang beat his wings and flew away.
His strength had already been somewhat inferior, and after the Demon Race's defeat, he naturally could no longer keep fighting.
"Hmph, next time we meet, I will surely cut off your head!"
Jiu Feng's domineering, icy voice likewise resounded through heaven and earth.
"Cihang! Cihang! Cihang!"
Once all the demons had retreated, the witches excitedly shouted Cihang's name.
This time, Cihang had turned the tide of the battle through his strength alone.
Had it not been for Cihang, they would not have secured victory so quickly, and their casualties would have been much greater.
Not only the ordinary witches, but even the Grand Unity witches looked at Cihang with approval.
Although Cihang was only at the initial Golden Immortal realm, his combat strength rivaled that of a late-stage Golden Immortal.
Even within the Witch Race, only Great Witches possessed such strength while at the Golden Immortal realm.
Once again, Cihang had earned the Witch Race's respect and recognition through his strength.
Surrounded by the witches, Cihang returned to the Witch Race tribe.
After their great victory over the Demon Race, every witch was delighted. A grand celebration was held in the tribal square.
Cihang had practically become the center of everyone's attention. Even some Grand Unity witches courteously stepped forward to befriend him.
"Cihang, thank you so much for what you did this time."
Jiu Feng also came over and thanked Cihang with a smile.
Cihang's intervention had turned the battle around and spared countless clansmen from death and injury.
