Dijiang, who was well-versed in the Law of Space, immediately gathered the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Before he even had time to assemble their forces, the twelve Ancestral Witches had already rushed to the battlefield.
Because of Zhunti's actions, the Witch Race and the demon race immediately erupted into the fiercest conflict.
In the Thirty-Three Heavens, Xihe, grief-stricken beyond words, donned battle armor and wielded the "Witch Slaying Sword." With the assistance of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Emperor Xi Fuxi, and Demon Master Kunpeng, she likewise gathered a vast demon army and descended from the Thirty-Three Heavens.
The Witch Race was fighting on home ground and moved just as swiftly. With twelve enormous tribes at their core, an endless stream of Witch Race forces converged on the battlefield.
"Di Jun! You dared kill two of our Great Witches! Today, you won't escape death!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were the first to arrive at the battlefield. When they saw Hou Yi and Kuafu, two Ancestral Witches, dead in battle, they all flew into a furious rage and howled. Compared to Kuafu, Hou Yi had been one of the tribe's top experts and one of the Witch Race's hopes for the future.
He had been a seedling on par with Xing Tian, yet now he had fallen. They had merely killed nine Golden Immortal Little Golden Crows, and even though they carried the Heavenly Emperor's bloodline, the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race still felt they had suffered a loss!
"Rumble!"
The battle erupted in an instant. The Twelve Ancestral Witches joined forces to surround Di Jun, unleashing all kinds of divine abilities. Di Jun was wounded in an instant and simply could not withstand the combined assault of the twelve Ancestral Witches.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
"Big Brother! We're here!"
The "Eastern Emperor Bell" rang twelve times in succession. From the Thirty-Three Heavens, rolling bell tones sent layer upon layer of ripples through the air. Even the void struggled to withstand the might of this primordial treasure that had split open the heavens.
"Witch Race! You barbarians killed my children! Today, I will fight you to the death!"
The first to charge into the Primordial World was unexpectedly Xihe. The Heavenly Queen wore golden armor, and the "Witch Slaying Sword" whipped up layers of sword radiance that swept in all directions, stabbing toward the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"Hmph! Xihe, since you're looking for death, I'll grant it to you. Let Di Jun first suffer the pain of losing his son, then the sorrow of losing his wife!"
Seeing the mighty female war goddess Xihe disrupt the battle, Xuanming Ancestral Witch condensed a white bone spear in her hand and thrust it toward Xihe.
Following that, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Emperor Xi Fuxi, and Demon Master Kunpeng, the three great experts, also charged into the battlefield, relieving the pressure on Di Jun.
Although Xihe was a Quasi-Saint who had severed her second corpse, female immortals were not adept at battle. Moreover, after becoming the lofty Heavenly Queen over the years, she had naturally had no opportunity to fight. Facing Xuanming Ancestral Witch now, she immediately fell into a disadvantage.
If not for the pain of losing her son driving her nearly mad and causing her to unleash all her strength, she would have been suppressed by Xuanming Ancestral Witch long ago.
When the Twelve Ancestral Witches clashed with the five Quasi-Saints of the demon race, the land of the Primordial World seemed unable to bear their strength. Of these seventeen experts, all except Zhou Ji were top great divine powers. Each possessed boundless magical power, and even the Primordial World's sturdy laws seemed unable to withstand their might.
This outbreak of war shocked many old monsters who had survived from the previous calamity. Back when the three races had vied for supremacy, the scene had seemed vastly inferior to this.
The gazes of the six Saints on Shouyang Mountain, Mount Kunlun, Golden Ao Island, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and Empress Wa's Palace all converged on the battlefield. Watching the terrifying waves, centered on the battlefield and spreading outward like concentric circles, shatter stretches of green mountains and rivers, the Saints all revealed displeasure.
"Good! The Witch Race and the demon race have formed a tremendous karmic debt with the Primordial World. When the great battle comes in the future, their races will surely be destroyed, and their core members will all be reduced to ashes. Even with Pingxin's merit protecting them, she still won't be able to save many." Seeing this scene, Zhunti nodded with a smile, clearly extremely satisfied with his plan.
"Amitabha..."
Jieyin pretended to sigh, seemingly unable to bear it. Then he closed his eyes and wandered spiritually through the void.
"Damn it! Three Pure Ones! Zhunti! Jieyin! You truly have schemed well!"
Nuwa flew into a rage and immediately understood that she had been tricked. The five Saints had joined forces to obscure the Heavenly Secrets from her. The wrath of a Saint caused heaven and earth to change color, and Nuwa was just about to order her phoenix carriage forward.
In the chaos, outside "Nuwa's Palace," the voices of Taishang Laojun and Primordial Heavenly Venerate rang out. "Junior Sister Nuwa, this old Daoist has come to pay you a visit today. Why don't the three of us Saints discuss the Dao?"
"Enough, enough! I am but a woman, alone and without support. How could I possibly be a match for the Three Pure Ones?"
Barely suppressing the fury in her heart, Nuwa waved her hand and ordered Jinning to open the palace gates and invite the two Saints inside.
"My disciple, Chaos Child!"
As Saints of the Heavenly Dao, they naturally had to safeguard the interests of the Heavenly Dao. Saints were intimately connected with the Primordial World, and with his two elder brothers having gone into the chaos, Sect Master Tongtian naturally knew that the remaining matters required his attention.
As for Jieyin and Zhunti?
This world belonged to their Orthodox School, to the Three Pure Ones. Naturally, it was not yet Jieyin and Zhunti's turn to interfere in the affairs of the Witch Race and the demon race. As for Zhunti's earlier small maneuver, it had benefited the evolution of the Heavenly Dao and aligned with the interests of the Three Pure Ones. That was why the three of them had pretended not to know and had ignored it. In the end, they had even been willing to lend a hand.
Now, the Witch Race and the demon race could no longer be allowed to destroy the Primordial World. This matter naturally fell to Sect Master Tongtian. However, Sect Master Tongtian thought highly of himself and naturally disdained appearing personally, so he called out the name of his disciple, Li Yunjing.
On Golden Ao Island, Li Yunjing likewise awoke from closed-door cultivation and performed the "Water Mirror Technique," manifesting the terrifying scene of the distant battlefield on the mainland.
At that moment, hearing Sect Master Tongtian's voice ring beside his ear, he hurriedly withdrew his divine ability. With a flash, he left "Chaos Palace" and headed toward "Biyou Palace."
"This disciple pays respects to Master!"
Li Yunjing entered "Biyou Palace" at once and bowed to Sect Master Tongtian.
"Mm. Today, the Witch Race and the demon race recklessly initiated war, destroying countless living beings in the Primordial World. Their actions are deeply sinful and have violated the Dao Ancestor's decree as well. Take my Immortal Slaying Sword Formation on a trip and sternly order the two races not to fight again. All grudges are to be settled after one kalpa."
"Yes! This disciple will respectfully obey your decree! I'll set out at once."
Watching the "Immortal Slaying Sword," "Slaughtering Immortal Sword," "Absolute Immortal Sword," and "Trapping Immortal Sword" hover around him, Li Yunjing accepted Sect Master Tongtian's decree. With a flash, he unleashed "Soaring Golden Light." Each step carried him a million li as he rapidly headed toward the mainland of the Primordial World.
Sect Master Tongtian watched his direct disciple leave and smiled faintly. Li Yunjing possessed considerable destiny and had comprehended his elder brother's "Taiji Diagram" and "Heaven and Earth Yellow Exquisite Pagoda." Today, he could use this opportunity to let him gain further insight into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
As for Li Yunjing, he did not disappoint Sect Master Tongtian's cultivation. After obtaining the Immortal Slaying Four Swords, he immediately began comprehending their profound mysteries. With Li Yunjing's strength, he should originally have been unable to control this peerless killing sword set, but with Sect Master Tongtian's Nascent Soul suppressing it, its baleful aura naturally receded. Only then could Li Yunjing study it.
