Pangu's True Form, Kunpeng Escapes

Xuanming, with a human face and bird-like body, stood with two crimson pythons beneath his feet and green snakes adorning his ears.

Zhu Rong and Gonggong, the supreme deities of fire and water respectively, conjured a sky full of fire clouds and water dragons.

Each Ancestral Witch took their designated position, forming the "Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation." With a unified roar, waves of malevolent energy billowed from their bodies, converging in the center of the grand formation. Slowly, the spectral image of a mighty man, his veins bulging, appeared in the formation's core – the great god Pangu, who had split heaven and earth.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches flickered, their forms completely merging into the spectral image of the great man.

As the formation solidified, Pangu's phantom grew clearer, appearing as real as any living person, and soon his entire body truly materialized.

Upon Pangu's true form's appearance, balls of chaotic lightning flared in each of his hands. He raised them and struck the "Grand Formation of the Stars," emitting a thunderous roar. The entire "Grand Formation of the Stars" shook violently, appearing on the verge of collapse.

"Damn it! Is this the 'Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation' that the Witch Clan kept so secret?"

Di Jun watched as two bolts of "Chaos Divine Lightning" struck, killing over a million ordinary Demon Race warriors. He was filled with hatred, never expecting that even under the protection of the "Grand Formation of the Stars," damage could still be inflicted.

"All troops, gather your magical power and hold on until the 'Pangu True Form' dissipates!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi's face was equally grim. He commanded, and all the emperors, marshals, and Demon Gods led their respective subordinates, going all out to face the threat.

Although this was the first time Pangu's true form had appeared in the Primordial Desolation, Di Jun and Tai Yi, being top-tier users of great divine abilities, were extremely experienced. They naturally knew that such summoning formations came at a tremendous cost, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not maintain Pangu's true form indefinitely. If they could just endure this phase, the Witch Clan would be utterly finished.

The "Eastern Emperor Bell," "Fuxi Qin," "Rivers and Mountains Painting," "Luo Shu," "River Diagram," "Witch Slaying Sword," "Star River Slaying Witch Blade," and a host of other supreme treasures were all entrusted to the "Grand Formation of the Stars," enhancing its power.

"Kill!"

The Witch Clan army, channeling the power of the "Myriad Ghosts Devouring Souls Formation," assisted Pangu's true form. Amidst the howling of countless vengeful spirits, they transformed into a colossal ghost king, radiating an endless, ferocious, chilling ghostly aura, continuously battering the layers of brilliant starlight.

The "Grand Formation of the Stars" flickered erratically, then erupted with boundless starlight. Each ray of starlight carried the accumulated power of stars from billions of years. Great Witches, protected by the "Myriad Ghosts Devouring Souls Formation," fared relatively well. However, ordinary lesser witches and witch-folk caught in the starlight were instantly crushed into bloody mist.

In the mere aftershocks of the counterattack, over a million Witch Clan warriors were pulverized into blood mist by the "Grand Formation of the Stars," losing their lives.

Seeing that the Demon Race's "Grand Formation of the Stars" could indeed block the "Chaos Divine Lightning," the Twelve Ancestral Witches grew anxious. Pangu's true form had its limits and could not exist forever. The Twelve Ancestral Witches, their minds connected, instantly began burning their own essence blood.

The Ancestral Witches' essence blood was Pangu's blood. With Pangu's blood, the spectral image of Pangu suddenly became animated. It actually let out a voice, shouting repeatedly: "Axe come! Axe come! Axe come!"

After three shouts, the laws of Pangu's phantom condensed into the spectral image of the "Heaven-Opening Axe." Taishang Laojun and Primordial Heavenly Venerate, observing from the sidelines, felt their own supreme treasures, the "Taiji Diagram" and the "Pangu Banner," tremble violently.

"I never expected that the Pangu true form summoned by the Witch Clan could actually manifest a trace of Pangu's consciousness."

The expressions of the two Saints were complex. With a wave of their hands, their painstakingly refined supreme treasures quieted down once more. To seize a supreme treasure from the hands of a Saint was as difficult as reaching the heavens; even Dao Ancestor Hongjun, without using the power of the Heavenly Dao, could not achieve it.

While the two Saints remained unfazed by Pangu's true form's actions, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was in a dire situation. His innate supreme treasure, the "Eastern Emperor Bell," suddenly vibrated and broke free from his control, attempting to flee the "Grand Formation of the Stars." If not for Eastern Emperor Taiyi's swift reaction and immediate suppression, this treasure would have truly broken through the void and flown away.

"Open the heavens!"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, noticing the disturbance with the "Eastern Emperor Bell," rejoiced. The previous position of the "Eastern Emperor Bell" was now a vacuum, and half of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's strength was occupied with suppressing the unruly supreme treasure.

Crack!

The "Heaven-Opening Axe" swung down fiercely. Amidst the violent roar, the boundless starry sky formed by the "Grand Formation of the Stars" cracked like a mirror, revealing countless fissures. As the core of the formation, Di Jun bore immense pressure; half of his body exploded. The two supreme treasures, "River Diagram" and "Luo Shu," were blasted away for a hundred thousand miles.

"Not good! The 'Grand Formation of the Stars' is broken!"

Demon Master Kunpeng's expression remained as usual, showing no hint of surprise. However, inwardly, he was already trembling with fear, terrified. Seeing the "Grand Formation of the Stars" shatter and Di Jun lose half his body, his first thought was that Di Jun had been cleaved to death by the "Heaven-Opening Axe." Just then, two beams of treasure light flew towards him. He focused his gaze and recognized them as the "River Diagram" and "Luo Shu."

His courage completely shattered, Demon Master Kunpeng's mind went blank. Without thinking, he scooped up the two beams of treasure light, suppressed them, transformed into his true Kunpeng form, and flew out of the broken "Grand Formation of the Stars." With a flap of his wings, he soared directly towards the chaos.

"Damn it!"

Di Jun saw this and turned deathly pale with anger. He was currently exerting all his effort to recover his true form, lacking even the time to recall his supreme treasures. He could only watch helplessly as Demon Master Kunpeng fled.

As more and more cracks appeared on the "Grand Formation of the Stars," its breaches widening, the grand formation reached its limit. Following the "Heaven-Opening Axe's" final strike, the spectral image of the axe vanished once more, and even Pangu's true form became ethereal and began to tremble.

Clearly, not only the Demon Race had reached their limit, but the Witch Clan's trump card also could not hold on much longer.

Rumble!

Finally, both grand formations shattered, and the figures of the Twelve Ancestral Witches were revealed. The Demon Race, having prepared for this, reformed their "Lesser Grand Formation of the Stars" under the organization of numerous Demon Gods. The armies of both sides instantly clashed like a torrent.

"If only that scoundrel Kunpeng hadn't fled in battle, the 'Grand Formation of the Stars' could have held on longer, and we might have outlasted the Witch Clan!"

With the "Eastern Emperor Bell" above his head, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, charging at the forefront, was seething with rage. If it weren't a life-or-death battle, he would have plunged into the chaos right then and torn Kunpeng to shreds!

Emperor Xi Fuxi, after casually killing two Great Witches, sighed, "I never expected Kunpeng to be so short-sighted. If our Heavenly Court falls, where will Kunpeng be able to escape to?"
