Zhunti's throat was dry, and he uttered several "this" sounds in a row, his finger trembling as he pointed to the core of the battlefield.
"Senior brother! Is it possible that the Ancestral Witch, formed from the Pangu's Essence Blood, was born without a primordial spirit and therefore unable to control spiritual treasures?"
The light that enveloped Houtu and Gou Mang was clearly the Pure Light of their primordial spirits! And... and the objects in their hands!
Zhunti rubbed his eyes hard, fearing it was an illusion caused by the surge of Magic Power, but when he looked again, the reality was blindingly clear:
Houtu Ancestral Witch Houtu, was surrounded by earth-yellow Daoist auras, and her body was protected by the clear light of her primordial spirit. She held an ancient, Xuan Huang jade ruler with endless Daoist patterns engraved on its body in her hand, and the sharp edge of the ruler seemed to be able to measure the universe.
The key to defining time and space is none other than the legendary Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure — the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler!
Beside him stood the Gou Mang Ancestral Witch, whose body was strangely intertwined with life force and Destruction energy. His emerald green primordial spirit light was equally clear. In his hand, a jet-black spear emanated a murderous aura that soared to the sky. The spear tip was surrounded by endless wailing of fierce spirits, stirring up the yin winds of the nine netherworlds. It was none other than the most yin and evil Innate Spiritual Treasure - the Soul-Slaying Spear!
"Hiss--!"
The Daoist Jieyin gasped, the chill almost freezing the surrounding void. His face was blank, his brows furrowed deeply.
"Top-grade spiritual treasures, spiritual roots! And more than one! And what's on Houtu's feet, seems to be the Apricot Yellow Banner?"
The Gou Mang's waist... Could it be... could it be Innate Spiritual Root?
The scene before my eyes completely overturned the foundation of my understanding of the Primordial Wilderness Witch Clan that I had held for millions of years.
Do the Ancestral Witch possess a primordial spirit?
How can one control so many Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and roots?
This is utterly absurd! The original plan of taking advantage of others' misfortunes seems so fragile and laughable in the face of such unpredictable events.
More importantly, at this time, he had not yet become a saint, and he did not have the absolute power to suppress the Ancestral Witch who possessed a primordial spirit and so many treasures.
Just as the two were shaken to their core and were about to lose control of their auras, a clear yet resolute shout rang out from the center of the battlefield, suppressing the panic of some of the demon race:
"Don't panic, everyone! I'll handle Houtu and Gou Mang!"
Before the words were even finished, a figure in azure light shot out like a streak of light; it was none other than Qing Huan, a top expert of the demon race!
His face was grim, and his eyes held an unprecedented solemnity.
With a "whoosh," the Seven Symbols Treasure Umbrella in his hand opened, and the surface of the umbrella instantly swirled. A vortex of Chaos Qi that could swallow the Universe formed under the umbrella, and an overwhelming pressure swept out!
'We can't hesitate any longer!'
The alarm bells rang constantly in Qing Huan's heart.
'If Houtu and Gou Mang were allowed to face the rest, with their mid-stage Primordial Origin Golden Immortal cultivation, plus the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler and the Soul-Slaying Spear controlled by their primordial spirits...
Besides Tai Yi and myself, who else here can stop these two?
The demon race is likely to be completely wiped out today!
"Good timing!"
Houtu Ancestral Witch Houtu, shouted and unhesitatingly raised the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in her hand.
The Xuan Huang Ruler suddenly shone brightly, its shadow instantly growing to tens of millions of feet, carrying the magnificent power of Heaven-Opening and reshaping the Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, as it cleaved down towards Qing Huan!
Wherever the ruler's edge touched, space shattered like fragile glass, revealing the raging Chaos Turbulence within.
Gou Mang roared even more ferociously, Soul-Slaying Spear transformed into a pitch-black evil dragon that devoured light, stirring up a sky full of bloody winds and rain. The cries of ten thousand ghosts pierced through the soul, and the spear tip pointed Qing Huan's heart, forming a deadly attack in conjunction with Houtu!
Qing Huan's pupils contracted sharply, and he poured all his magical Magic Power into the Seven Symbols Treasure Umbrella.
"Buzz--!" The Precious Umbrella emitted a deafening roar, its surface spinning like a wheel, and the chaotic vortex rapidly expanded! The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, with its unparalleled sharpness capable of predicting the future, slashed down fiercely!
"BOOM--!!!"
An indescribable, deafening explosion!
The blade of light pierced into the chaotic vortex, and the Xuan Huang light and the Chaos Qi frantically annihilated each other, as if two universes were colliding violently!
The shockwave instantly turned the central battlefield into a hundred miles of scorched earth. The earth, as hard as innate divine iron, vaporized and disappeared. The magma gushing from the ground below was swept up by the shockwave and turned into a sky full of crimson meteors that crashed in all directions!
Countless shattered fragments of Magic Treasure, engulfed by violent energy, formed a storm of death, wantonly slicing through everything in their path.
At the same time, Gou Mang's Soul-Slaying Spear arrived!
The Netherworld Yin energy gathered at the tip of the spear is enough to freeze the primordial spirit and defile the True Spirit.
However, on the ribs of the Seven Symbols Treasure Umbrella, Qinghuo seemed to come alive, letting out a dragon roar that shook the heavens!
The enormous Azure Dragon Phantom coiled around the umbrella ribs, its mouth wide open, generating an unparalleled suction force. The sinister ghost energy, capable of corroding bones and destroying souls, was swallowed up by the blue dragon like rivers flowing into the sea!
The tip of the gun struck the sturdy umbrella ribs with a "ding," emitting blinding sparks, but failed to advance even an inch further!
On the other side, the Demon Di Jun saw that Qing Huan had faced the biggest variable, Houtu Gou Mang, and felt slightly relieved, but his killing intent intensified.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Sea-Covering Heaven-Listing Blade had been poised to strike, was already in his hand.
A flash of light, not a blinding incandescence, but transformed into a gigantic, blood-red Sun Wheel!
Wherever the Sun Wheel blade passed, the space emitted a cracking sound as it was unable to bear the weight. The air was frozen by the extremely sharp blade intent, condensing into spiderweb-like ice crystal cracks!
The blade light seemed to draw upon the power of the All the Stars in the Heavens, with 365 phantom stars appearing and disappearing around the blade wheel, forming a massive star array. With imperial majesty and boundless killing intent, it fiercely slashed towards the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches —the Space Ancestor Witch Di Jiang!
"Roar!"
Sensing a deadly threat, Di Jiang roared and instantly revealed his Ancestral Witch True Body!
Its body swelled up, its muscles bulging like ancient mountains. Even more terrifying, eight ferocious snake heads sprouted from the sides of its head. The nine heads roared in unison, causing violent ripples in space, attempting to twist and tear apart the terrifying star blade wheel!
Almost at the same instant, Eastern Emperor Taiyi moved!
Without a word, the Chaos Bell floating overhead suddenly rang out with a loud "Clang!"
The bell tolled as if it had been ringing since the beginning of Primordial Wilderness, defying the constraints of time and space, and instantly spreading throughout the entire battlefield.
On the surface of the bell, countless phantoms of Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial World roared and struggled, converging into a vast and boundless suppressive force!
The Chaos Bell itself transformed into a falling Primordial Stars, carrying a terrifying power capable of crushing all realms, and crashed down upon the three Ancestral Witch: Gonggong, Zhurong Qiang Liang Zhurong!
"Crack! Boom--!"
As the bell tolled, the water-volcano formation collapsed instantly, like bubbles!
Zhurong, wielding the divine weapon, the Flaming Dragon Spear, was the first to be hit. The illusory image of the ten-thousand-foot-long fire dragon churning on the banner was like flames meeting ten-thousand-year-old ice when it came into contact with the actual bell wave. It didn't even have time to let out a wail before it shattered into countless streams of fire!
The Xuanming True Water torrent controlled by Gonggong, that extremely cold water capable of submerging the entire world, was like boiling water poured on snow before the power of the Chaos Bell to suppress all heavens. Vast amounts of it vaporized and rose, transforming into eerie seven-colored rainbows, and were instantly shattered by the subsequent bell waves, disappearing without a trace!
