Establishing the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to Halt the Conflict Between the Two Races

While Li Yunjing was hurrying over, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were already battling the Heavenly Court's five Quasi-Saints so fiercely that heaven and earth seemed to collapse. The Thirty-Three Heavens, the Demon Race's army, the twelve tribes, and the Witch Race's army had all drawn close to the battlefield.

"Xihe, be careful! Everyone, retreat first! Let's return to the main army before settling things with the Witch Race!"

When Di Jun saw the ten marshals and 365 Demon Gods leading tens of millions of troops toward them, he immediately forced back the Ancestral Witch beside him, then turned to help Xihe drive back Xuanming.

After that, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Emperor Xi Fuxi, and Demon Master Kunpeng fought while retreating, gathering with the army that had descended from the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"Damn it! We failed to kill Di Jun again!"

Seeing Di Jun and the others successfully withdraw, several Ancestral Witches flew into a rage. They had failed to surround and kill Eastern Emperor Taiyi last time, and now that Di Jun had been separated from the others, they had still been unable to kill him. Having missed such a perfect opportunity, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were so furious they nearly vomited blood.

With the Demon Race's army assembled, the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not dare charge into its formation. They also retreated into the Witch Race's army.

Banners fluttered, and killing intent soared to the heavens. Before the two armies, all was silent. After a long while, the "boom, boom, boom" of war drums rang out across heaven and earth. The two great factions were about to launch their decisive battle!

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a furious shout rang out between heaven and earth. Li Yunjing's figure abruptly appeared before the two armies. Seeing that the battle had yet to begin, he let out a long breath inwardly. At the same time, he felt boundless killing intent gathering around him. The sensation was even more painful than being pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows.

"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation—rise!"

Li Yunjing steadied himself and fully revealed his cultivation as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. A formation diagram wrapped around four Killing Swords and instantly shot to the front of the two armies.

As the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram unfolded, the "Immortal Slaying Sword," "Slaughtering Immortal Sword," "Trapping Immortal Sword," and "Absolute Immortal Sword" hung at its four corners, forming four sword gates.

Above the sword gates, the Killing Swords flashed, and a heaven-shaking killing intent shot forth. Whether Immortal Gods, demons, or devils, none could withstand it.

"By decree of the Primordial Limitless Saint, Sect Master Tongtian!"

As the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation rose, Li Yunjing's face turned solemn and dignified. He swept his gaze across the Witch and Demon armies, then pointed a finger. A divine radiance shot into the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram, and the killing formation immediately began to operate. The four sword gates simultaneously unleashed dazzling sword light, all brimming with killing intent. With one sweep, everything before the two armies was wiped away, leaving a vacuum zone stretching ten million li.

The two races had a total of seventeen Quasi-Saints, and all of them were shocked, their expressions grim. They saw the Interception Sect's true disciple, Li Yunjing, standing atop the great formation. In the east hung an "Immortal Slaying Sword," in the south a "Slaughtering Immortal Sword," in the west a "Trapping Immortal Sword," and in the north an "Absolute Immortal Sword." Gates and doors stood before them, while killing intent filled the air and sinister winds howled.

Having witnessed the great dharma of the Pangu Orthodox and the Orthodox Xuanmen, the Demon Race was filled with dread. Following Dao Ancestor Hongjun, this was the second Saint to display his martial power in the Primordial World.

Supreme Clarity Tongtian had not appeared in person. He had merely sent out one disciple, yet that disciple was enough to intimidate two mighty races and countless experts. This showed just how powerful Saints were—simply beyond estimation.

"Previously, Dao Ancestor Hongjun issued a decree that the Witch and Demon Races were forbidden from raising arms against each other for ten kalpas. Today, you have disturbed the Primordial World and slaughtered billions of living beings, defying the Heavenly Dao. By the Sect Master's strict order, the armies of the Witch and Demon Races must withdraw. Otherwise, you will be severely punished!"

The hundreds of millions of troops from the two races fell silent. Only boundless killing intent rolled up layer upon layer of hurricanes, scattering the clouds and rosy light that filled the sky.

After a long while, Di Jun regained his usual composure, though his expression remained ugly. The pain of losing his children was irreconcilable. His voice echoed across heaven and earth: "The hatred between the Witch and Demon Races runs deep. After one kalpa, our two races will fight to the death!"

Di Jun's words seemed like an oath sworn before the Heavenly Dao, instantly spreading throughout the entire Primordial World.

"Hmph! Do you think our Witch Race is afraid of your Demon Race? After one kalpa, it will be a fight to the death!" Dijiang said coldly. He then turned to the Witch Race's army, waved his hand, and said, "Withdraw!"

Seeing the Witch and Demon Races retreating in orderly fashion under the might of the Saint, Li Yunjing drew another deep breath. With billions of Immortal Gods standing before him, it would have been a lie to say he was not afraid!

During the Witch-Demon era, even the weakest soldiers of the two races were experts at the Heavenly Immortal realm. With so many troops from both races, the mere convergence of their gazes could make a Quasi-Saint tremble.

If Li Yunjing had not appeared with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation in hand, forget about making bold declarations—even standing before the two armies would have been impossible. If he had not gone weak at the knees and fallen to the ground, he would already have lived up to the reputation of the Interception Sect.

This was a special experience. In the future, he would never again have the chance to witness such a vast, god-and-demon-like battlefield.

In the future, under countless tribulations, the Primordial World would grow weaker and weaker.

By stopping the Witch-Demon War, Li Yunjing's name spread throughout the Primordial World along with the "Immortal Slaying Sword Formation." Originally, only a few great divine cultivators knew this third-generation disciple of the Xuanmen because of the Three Pure Ones. Now, the entire Primordial World knew the name of Chaos Child, Li Yunjing. That was another unexpected gain.

After putting away the "Immortal Slaying Sword Formation," Li Yunjing transformed into a streak of light and returned to Golden Ao Island.

"Senior Brother is mighty!"

As soon as he returned to the island, countless disciples of the Interception Sect came forward to greet Li Yunjing. Their faces were flushed with excitement. The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and Fifth Senior Brother's halting of the Witch-Demon War had greatly enhanced the Interception Sect's prestige. They all wished they could immediately leave the mountain gate, roam the Primordial World, display the Interception Sect's banner, and show off their might.

"Enough! My Junior Brothers, we can talk later. I will first pay my respects to my teacher and return the supreme treasure." Li Yunjing smiled. These fellows truly could never sit still!

This time, Li Yunjing had displayed the might of the Interception Sect. The day of Myriad Immortals Come to Court was not far off. He estimated that countless living beings throughout the Primordial World would soon rush to the Eastern Sea in search of Golden Ao Island.

"Chaos Child, you completed your mission very well. You may comprehend the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation for now. You may leave!"

After meeting Sect Master Tongtian in Biyou Palace and reporting on the mission, Sect Master Tongtian did not hurry to take back the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Instead, he allowed Li Yunjing to continue comprehending its laws.

"Yes! This disciple thanks you for your guidance, Teacher!"

Li Yunjing was delighted. He had not expected to have more time to continue mastering the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. This was excellent news.

After leaving Biyou Palace, Li Yunjing brought several fellow disciples with whom he was close back to Chaos Palace. He personally entertained them and also explained some of the doubts his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters had regarding the Supreme Clarity Great Dao.

Among these fellow disciples, Li Yunjing valued Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming the most. They were both future seeds of Quasi-Sainthood. As for Winged Immortal, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Fairy Caiyun, they were still somewhat weaker. Even if they advanced to Quasi-Sainthood in the future, they would only be ordinary talents. If they hoped to improve merely by biding their time, they would find it difficult to get ahead.

Li Yunjing did not hold back when offering guidance to his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters. He even gave them some Five Elements Spirit Fruits and Enlightenment Tea Leaves, allowing them to improve their strength without restraint.
