Heaven's Partiality, the Ten-Eon Term (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)
As the leaders of both sides fought fiercely, the armies below were also battling to the death.
The main force of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was ferocious and brave, gaining a tremendous advantage on the battlefield as well. The Great Witches possessed vast divine power; with a wrench of their arms, one Demon God was torn in half. Some Great Witches drew their bows and nocked their arrows, shooting nine stars with a single arrow. The Nine Stars formed a linked chain, instantly killing nine Demon Generals and Demon Gods. Others brought their staffs crashing down, directly smashing a Demon God into a cloud of blood mist. The Witch Race's might was so overwhelming that not only the Demon Race, but even the various Great Gods secretly watching from the sidelines, wore expressions of horror.
The Demon Race was no weakling either. A demon bird spread its wings, transforming into one that stretched for a thousand miles, then opened its huge beak and inhaled. Tens of thousands of Witch Clan warriors entered its mouth and became blood food. Relying on their numerical advantage, the Demon Race still held the battle line firmly, resisting the Witch Race's assault with all their strength.
At the foot of Mount Buzhou, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. The mountains, rivers, and trees were utterly destroyed. Within a radius of a million miles, mountains of corpses piled up. Countless warriors of both races bled dry, forming rivers of blood. The million-mile area had become an asura battlefield, with slaughter as its sole melody.
"Tai Yi! We've come to help you!"
Suddenly, a thunderous shout rang out. Di Jun and Fuxi, the two Quasi-Saints, finally descended from the summit of Mount Buzhou, bringing the remaining Demon Saints, Demon Gods, and an army of tens of millions with them.
After Di Jun and Fuxi assessed the situation, they immediately rushed to the Nine Heavens a million miles away, preparing to assist Eastern Emperor Taiyi and join forces against the eleven Ancestral Witches.
"Not good! Xuanming, you and Gonggong and Zhu Rong go stop Di Jun and Fuxi!"
Seeing that the situation was turning unfavorable, Dijiang shouted and unleashed the Law of Space. Blades of "spatial blades" transformed into gleaming knives capable of cutting through everything, slashing fiercely toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
With the Eastern Emperor Bell above his head, all techniques were unable to invade him and all evil was repelled. Even when the Ancestral Witches unleashed their laws with all their might, they still found it difficult to break through his defense and injure Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"Damn it!"
The three Ancestral Witches—Xuanming and the others—glared viciously at Eastern Emperor Taiyi, then reluctantly moved to intercept Di Jun and Fuxi.
Xuanming vented all her fury on Di Jun. With a wave of her hand, she sent streaks of "Xuanming Bone Arrows" flying out like a swarm of locusts toward Di Jun.
Di Jun's expression remained calm. Blazing Great Sun True Fire rolled forth, and with a single movement, the void stretching ten thousand miles became a sea of fire. The good corpse severed by the "River Diagram" held back Gonggong, while Fuxi easily blocked Zhu Rong's attacks.
"Hahaha! With only the eight of you left, let's see how this Emperor deals with you!"
Throughout the battle, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had remained on the defensive and had long since burned with rage. Now that the three Ancestral Witches—Xuanming and the others—had left, only eight Ancestral Witches remained. He immediately realized that his opportunity had come. He spat a mouthful of blood onto the Eastern Emperor Bell. In an instant, the Eastern Emperor Bell began ringing furiously, sending layers of bell waves surging toward Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and the other eight Ancestral Witches. At the same time, Eastern Emperor Taiyi moved, hoisting the Eastern Emperor Bell and smashing his true body toward Rushou.
With a thunderous boom, the other seven Ancestral Witches were forced back. The Eastern Emperor Bell slammed into Rushou's body, knocking him from the Nine Heavens down to the earth. With another rumble, the Primordial World shattered. A deep black hole a full ten thousand miles wide appeared on the battlefield. Countless armies of both races were caught in the aftermath and turned into blood mist. Faced with Eastern Emperor Taiyi's desperate strike, even an Ancestral Witch could hardly endure it. Ancestral Witch blood sprayed through the air, and with a single blow, half of Rushou's life was taken.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi swayed, then spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood. Repeatedly urging the Eastern Emperor Bell had caused him to suffer the backlash of its tremendous power. Nevertheless, he steadied himself, inverted the huge bell, and shot toward the Primordial World, preparing to deliver Rushou the final blow.
"Rushou! Watch out!"
Dijiang and the other seven Ancestral Witches ignored the sound waves from the Eastern Emperor Bell tearing through their bodies. The seven of them swiftly pounced toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi, buying Rushou time to catch his breath.
"How dare you!"
Houtu, who had been fighting with the greatest ease, saw this and her expression changed drastically. Her willow brows rose sharply as she forced Kunpeng back with a strike. Standing upon the earth, her form suddenly shifted. She had already unleashed the Law of Earth and blocked the path before Rushou, gathering a huge mountain to stand between him and the Eastern Emperor Bell. With a rumble, Eastern Emperor Taiyi smashed the Eastern Emperor Bell down viciously. With that single blow, the huge mountain shattered into pieces, and Houtu behind it spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Damn it! The Twelve Ancestral Witches will unite and arrange the 'Grand Formation of the Fiend Gods'! We'll fight the Demon Race to the death!"
Two Ancestral Witches had suffered severe injuries. The eldest, Dijiang, wore an ashen expression as he realized how difficult Eastern Emperor Taiyi was to deal with. He was ready to use their final method and completely annihilate the Demon Race.
"Hmph! Does your Witch Race think it's the only one with a grand formation? All Demon Gods, arrange the 'Grand Formation of the Stars' and meet the Witch Race in battle!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi had injured two Ancestral Witches in succession, greatly bolstering the might of the Demon Race's army. With shouts of agreement, tens of millions of troops began gathering, preparing to arrange the formation according to their usual drills and fight the Witch Race to the death.
A world-destroying war was about to erupt!
"Stop! This matter has been ordained by Heaven. From now on, the Demon Race shall govern the heavens, while the Witch Race shall govern the earth. For ten great eons, you are forbidden to resume hostilities!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun manifested, instantly appearing on the battlefield. With a wave of his hand, a tremendous force swept the tens of millions of troops from both races back to their respective territories.
The entire Witch Race was thrown back into the tribes of the Twelve Ancestral Witches by the Dao Ancestor, while the Demon Race's army was driven back to the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already joined with the Dao, so his sudden appearance naturally meant that he was the vessel of the Heavenly Dao. The various Great Gods of the Primordial World wore gloomy expressions. Clearly, they did not want such a Grand Supreme Emperor to remain above them all. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao Power was boundless. How could cultivators possibly resist it?
Within the Upper Pure Palace, Li Yunjing was also constantly calculating over this battle. It was obvious that the Heavenly Dao had intervened and tilted the scales. The Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation was invincible. If the Demon Race were destroyed while the six Saints personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor had yet to attain sainthood, the future course of events might not proceed as the Heavenly Dao wished.
This time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had manifested in reality precisely to buy Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti time to attain sainthood. The ten great eons were the time when all the Saints would attain the Dao.
One great eon was 129,600 years. In less than 1.3 million years, the Age of Saints would arrive!
Under Dao Ancestor Hongjun's might, the two races ceased their fighting. They obediently returned to their respective domains, resting and recuperating while enjoying the rights and status they had gained at tremendous cost.
The Witch Race took full control of the Primordial World and became its true rulers, rather than remaining in their former position of lacking both legitimacy and authority.
The Demon Race, meanwhile, elevated the various Demon Gods to Great Gods of the Myriad Stars, each taking charge of their respective offices.
The Demon Race had obtained the important Thirty-Three Heavens, but now that they could no longer lay hands on the Primordial World, they turned their attention elsewhere.
Thus, they used military force to coerce the Dragon Clans of the Four Seas. The Dragon Clans had lived in comfort for far too long and were no match for the wolf-like, tiger-like army of the Demon Race. Left with no choice, they could only bow and submit, though they did obtain a position as a Righteous God of the Heavenly Court and henceforth followed the path of the Dragon Gods, becoming nominal overseers of the Four Seas.
