Houtu frowned. "Eldest Brother, the Slaughter has been too heavy; the Karmic Retribution is considerable."
Dijiang sneered, "The Witch Clan doesn't cultivate the Primordial Spirit, so why should they fear the Heavenly Karma?"
Houtu, now you should focus on your own affairs. The Land of Reincarnation is our Witch Clan's retreat!
"You and Xuanming work together to forge it well, so that regardless of whether my Witch Clan wins this Great Tribulation or not, it won't be a big problem."
Houtu and Xuanming replied in unison, "Eldest Brother, we understand."
Dijiang turned to his brothers. "This battle concerns the rise and fall of the Witch Clan. I hope you will all give it your all!"
The Ancestral Witch responded in unison, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
On this Primordial Desolation Earth, the winds and clouds suddenly shifted.
The twelve tribes of the Witch Clan mobilized in full force, sweeping across the surrounding areas with overwhelming power.
Qiangliang led the Thunder Tribe to attack a group of volcanoes in the south. Wherever they went, volcanoes erupted and lava flowed.
A group of the Fire Crow Clan cultivators were driven to the brink of despair. Their Clan Leader, Chiyu, transformed into a hundred-foot-tall firebird and roared, "Qiangliang! Our clan has no enmity with the Witch Clan. Why are you driving us to extermination?"
Qiangliang grinned maliciously, lightning snakes dancing wildly around his body. " In this Primordial World, the strong prey on the weak. What reason is needed? Submit to the Witch Clan, Upper Qi destiny, and you can escape death!"
Chiyu cried out in grief and indignation, "My people were born from volcanoes, and we will never surrender, even in death!"
"You're courting death!" Qiangliang unleashed a punch, causing lightning to explode, shattering the Fire Crow Clan's Great Formation, and resulting in heavy casualties among the clansmen.
The remaining followers scattered and fled. Chiyu, severely wounded, escaped, gritting his teeth. "The Witch Clan is tyrannical; this grudge must be avenged!"
Meanwhile, under the command of Fuxi, the Demon Clan army used a policy of appeasement to win over various races.
Nuwa, holding the Map of Mountains and Rivers, spoke gently to a group of Spiritual Deer Clan cultivators driven away by the Witch Clan: "If you wish to join my Demon Clan, you may cultivate using the power of the Circulating Stars and be spared the slaughter by the Witch Clan."
The Spiritual Deer Clan Leader, Cang Jiao, hesitated and asked, "Empress Nuwa, if we submit to the Demon Clan, what price will our clan have to pay?"
Fuxi chuckled, "Just make Heavenly Dao Oath, and never betray it."
The Demon Clan bestows upon you Cultivation Method Spirit Materials; let us unite to resist the Witch Clan.
After discussing with his clansmen for a while, Cang Jiao finally bowed his head and said, "I am willing to follow the Demon Clan!"
Such scenes played out across the Primordial World, with the Witch Clan using force to oppress others and the Demon Clan using incentives to lure them. The ways of kings and hegemons were employed in unison, forcing neutral minor tribes to choose sides.
The Witch and Demon Clans launched simultaneous operations, and countless smaller clans were wiped out in the flames of war. The survivors chose to submit to the stronger forces in order to protect themselves.
On the Shore of the Eastern Sea, the Demon Master Kunpeng led hundreds of millions of Demon Soldiers to Tuantuan a Flood Dragon Clan.
The Flood Dragon Clan revealed his true form, glaring angrily at the Kunpeng: "Demon Master, my clan and the Dragon Palace share the same lineage. Do you truly intend to exterminate us all?"
Kunpeng sneered, "Submit to the Demon Clan and you may have a chance to live; resist stubbornly, and today will be the day of your extermination!"
The Flood Dragon Clan gritted his teeth. "If we submit, can the Demon Clan guarantee the Immortality of our Bloodline?"
With a flick of his sleeve, Kunpeng released a Demon Court token. "This is the decree of the Eastern Emperor. Those who submit will receive cultivation resources from the Heavenly Realm, but you must not disobey when your efforts are needed."
The Flood Dragon Clan remained silent for a long time before finally bowing his head. "The Flood Dragon Clan... is willing to surrender."
Meanwhile, in a mountain range in the east, Zhurong and Tianwu led the Witch Clan army to raze an Ape Tribe to the ground.
The Clan Leader the Spirit Ape clan knelt and pleaded, "Ancestral Witch Majesty, our clan is willing to submit to the Witch Clan. Please, have mercy!"
Zhurong grinned maliciously. "Too late! Only now do you think of surrendering? How can I leave behind a source of trouble!"
He unleashed a punch, causing flames to explode, and the Spirit Ape Clan Leader was instantly reduced to ashes.
Tianwu waved his hand. "Kill! Leave no one alive!"
The Witch Clan Warriors surged forward like a tide, while the screams of the Ape Tribe echoed through the Mountain Valley.
Inside the Sun God Hall, Di Jun and Taiyi sat facing each other.
Taiyi voice, "Eldest Brother, the Witch Clan's excessive Slaughter has caused panic among many races, who are now turning to the Demon Clan."
Following this trend, our clan's Fortune will steadily improve, and many cultivators from the Purple Sky Palace are beginning to side with us.
Di Jun shook his head. "It's not enough. The key to the struggle for Fortune lies in the position of 'Protagonists of Heaven and Earth.' If we cannot completely suppress the Witch Clan, it will all be in vain."
Taiyi frowned. "So, what does Eldest Brother mean?"
Di Jun's gaze deepened. "Sometimes... we can actively push the Tribulation Cycle."
Taiyi was startled. "Eldest Brother is going to initiate Witch-Demon War?"
Di Jun said calmly, "The Tribulation Cycle is a cycle of Heavenly Dao, which we cannot stop."
However, if one can control the rhythm, one can use the calamity to overcome it and secure victory in one fell swoop.
The Witch Clan should be ready to wipe out the Immortal Court. We should take this opportunity to fight them and test their Witch Clan.
Taiyi pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Eldest Brother, are you trying to use this opportunity to test what trump cards the Witch Clan has up their sleeve?"
Di Jun nodded. "That's right. My Demon Clan's Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation is already out in the open. The Witch Clan has the confidence to compete with us, and it's impossible that they don't have the means to fight back."
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can we have a chance to defeat them!
Inside the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun sat facing each other.
Hong Yun looked pained and shook his head, sighing, "The Witch Clan has annihilated many Primordial World races these days. Such brutal Slaughter is not something Pangu Descendants should do. How can Heavenly Dao tolerate it?"
Zhenyuanzi shook his head. "The Calamity Qi has begun, and Great Tribulation is unavoidable. The Witch and Demon Clans were at peace before, but this situation has suddenly arisen. It seems that something unexpected has happened, forcing them to take this course."
Given the current situation, the Two us need to make plans as soon as possible, because it could affect my Longevity Mountain at any time.
Hong Yun asked in surprise, "We have good relations with several fellow Daoists in the Western Region, and we also have a good relationship with the Three Pure Ones Dao Friends of Kunlun. We also have ties with the Hongmen. No matter what, it shouldn't have much of an impact on us, right?"
Zhenyuanzi asked irritably, "You've probably forgotten the Hongmeng Purple Qi you obtained in the Purple Sky Palace, haven't you!"
That is the Foundation for Sainthood; countless people covet it.
Hong Yun scoffed, "I'm not the only one who has obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so what's there to worry about!"
"Everyone else was taken in as a disciple by Hongjun Dao Ancestor and became Saint Disciples. Do you have that status?"
You should be careful from now on. During this Great Tribulation, as the Calamity Qi intensifies, even the Heavenly Secrets begin to be disturbed. At this time, there will inevitably be those who try to take advantage of the chaos.
Hong Yun listened to the advice. With the Witch-Demon making such a big fuss, it was not advisable to go out for a stroll. She should stay in Zhenyuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple for a while.
On the other side, outside the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the Queen Mother of the West arrived riding Azure Phoenix.
The Yuanshi Tianzun commanded the White Crane Attendant to greet them.
Upon entering the main hall, one finds the Three Pure Ones meditating and practicing Zen.
Laozi inquired about the purpose of the visit, "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, have you come regarding matters of Witch-Demon?"
The Queen Mother of the West smiled wryly, "The Witch and Demon Clans have expanded to the border of West Kunlun, and my lineage of West Kunlun is finding it difficult to protect itself. Therefore, I have come to seek your advice."
Laozi said calmly, "No one can escape the calamity that is destined to happen."
"Fellow Daoist, you were previously deeply entangled with the Immortal Court. If you wish to escape this calamity, what else must you do to ensure your safety?"
The Queen Mother of the West was still somewhat puzzled. "I hope you can enlighten me, fellow Daoist!"
Tongtian then spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, the fact that the Witch and Demon Clans have not yet attacked the Immortal Court should give you an idea of what they are worried about!"
If you can help them resolve this matter, they will be able to get through this ordeal.
After hearing Tongtian's words, the Queen Mother of the West immediately understood and bowed to the three of them in gratitude.
She knew that the three of them were showing consideration for their shared lineage from Kunlun Mountain, which reminded her that after leaving the Immortal Court, she also hoped to find another backer when facing the Witch and Demon Clans. So, she took this opportunity to thank the Three Pure Ones while also indicating that from now on, she in West Kunlun would follow the Three Pure Ones' lead.
