Having received the signal from the Heavenly Realm, Taiyi knew that the Demon Clan reinforcements were arriving soon.
He glanced at the Demon Master was enraged by Minghe's words, and then unleashed his true power, giving Minghe a small shock.
The group surrounded the Hongmeng Purple Qi again, sealing off the space around Purple Qi.
Taiyi stood in mid-air, holding the Chaos Bell in his hand, with the Golden Crow True Fire flowing around him. "Fellow Daoists, my Demon Clan army will arrive soon. This item is destined for my Demon Clan, and I hope you will not remain obstinate."
The bell rang again, and the space froze like water, causing the seven or eight powerful figures to freeze in place.
"Taiyi, your Demon Clan is far too domineering. Is all you know how to do is intimidate others with your power? Do you dare to compete with us fairly?" A gray-robed Daoist priest from the Purple Sky Palace summoned a pagoda, its body radiating light to resist the sound of the bell.
"That's right... how can they be so domineering..."
"We, the Primordial World Powers era, should compete fairly..."
Seeing this, the other powerful beings all spoke up to offer their support. They now understood that they had to unite, as the situation was beyond their control and they had no choice but to do so.
Those who banded together formed a battle formation with him, and in an instant, the radiance of their Magic Treasure illuminated a thousand miles.
Just as they were locked in a standoff, suddenly, the Hongmeng Purple Qi broke through the blockade, abruptly turning downwards and plummeting straight towards the ground below.
Before anyone could react, dozens of waves of earth suddenly exploded from the ground, and twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Banner burst forth from the earth, forming a net that trapped the Purple Qi in the center.
"Hahaha! A stroke of luck from heaven, it is rightfully our Witch Clan's!" Amidst deafening laughter, Qiangliang, holding a Divine Thunder Banner, leaped out of the Earth Veins, followed by seven Great Witch including Xiangliu and Jiu Feng.
Their muscular bodies shimmered with Witch patterns, as they Physical Body withstood the oppressive power of numerous powerful beings.
Taiyi's eyelids twitched wildly, Chaos Bell instantly transformed into the size of Shanyue, suppressing the formation of the Capital Gods and Fiends Banner and preventing them from retrieving them. He shouted, "How dare you, you Witch Clan!"
The Golden Crow True Fire within his body transformed into a three-legged divine bird, swooping down upon the Capital Gods and Fiends Banner.
But then Qiangliang waved his Qiangliang Divine Thunder Banner, and a giant thunder serpent charged toward the Three-legged Golden Crow.
"Your Eastern Emperor the Your Majesty Emperor has quite a temper." Qiangliang's younger sister, Jiu Feng, spread her crimson Yuyi, a hint of mockery in her phoenix eyes. "This Purple Qi doesn't have your Demon Clan's name on it. Whoever grabs it gets to keep it. Why are you shouting like that?"
Seeing this, Minghe suddenly sneered, "Do these barbarians of the Witch Clan even dare to lay their hands on the Heavenly Dao Sacred Artifact?"
The Blood Sea expanded instantly, and countless Blood God Spawn rushed towards the Capital Gods and Fiends Banner.
Seeing that the Witch Clan had intervened, the other powerful beings tacitly turned their attention to the Wu Clan, unleashing a barrage of various Divine Ability Magic Treasure and magical treasures.
"How dare you attack my Witch Clan! Who gave you the audacity?"
With a furious roar, Jiu Feng revealed its nine-headed phoenix form, each head possessing its own Divine Ability: "Brothers, let these scum witness the power of my Witch Clan!"
The seven Great Witch simultaneously activated Great Witch Essence Blood, Capital Gods and Fiends Banner to flutter loudly and actually condense the power projections of several Ancestral Witch.
Although those projections were only one-tenth the size of the main body, their power was not weak, and they formed an array that barely blocked the combined attack of the group.
"The Witch Clan actually possesses such an Ancestral Witch Secret Technique! Using the Bloodline of Great Witch to summon the corresponding Ancestral Witch's phantom to fight—it looks quite impressive. It's a pity your strength isn't enough, and the power of the summoned projections isn't very good either." Kunpeng commented on the Secret Technique used by the Great Witch.
Taiyi focused on dealing with the Ancestral Witch Qiangliang. The World Creation Chaos Bell rang out with a deafening roar, shattering the lightning serpent that Qiangliang had conjured. The remaining power even made Qiangliang stagger.
Qiangliang had already reached the Ancestral Witch Hall with news of Taiyi and many other powerful beings vying for the Hongmeng Purple Qi. He brought a group of Great Witch with him to maintain the situation and prevent the Demon Clan from seizing the Purple Qi.
However, they never expected that their intervention would provoke such a united attack from everyone.
Just as the Witch Clan and others were being passively attacked and the situation was at a stalemate, the Firmament suddenly shone brightly with starlight.
Three hundred and sixty-five Star Pillar Tongtian, Jieyin Di Jun, Fuxi, and the entourage under the command of the Ten Great Demon Marshals to descend from the Heavenly Realm to this place.
"Gentlemen of the Witch Clan, how have you been?" Di Jun's voice was firm and powerful. "This Hongmeng Purple Qi is a treasure of Heavenly Dao. Your Witch Clan has no interest in it. Why don't we sit down and discuss our terms?"
Qiangliang's voice boomed like thunder. Despite being at a disadvantage, he showed no fear. "Di Jun! When did your Demon Clan learn to reason? Do you know what the Hongmeng Purple Qi means? This is not something to be negotiated. If you want war, then let's fight!"
He had already received a message through the Witch patterns on his chest; it was Dijiang, who was on his way, communicating via Bloodline: "Hold them off, we'll be there immediately!"
Fuxi then transmitted his voice to Di Jun: "Your Majesty, we can sense the approaching aura of the Ancestral Witch from the outer perimeter."
Di Jun nodded slightly, and a Golden Light shot out from his sleeve and disappeared into the void—a secret signal for Taiyi.
"Since that's the case, then..."
As expected, Taiyi suddenly launched an attack, and the Chaos Bell smashed directly into the core of the Capital Gods and Fiends Banner.
At the same moment, Di Jun activated the power of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation, and the illusory images of 365 Primordial Stars illuminated the surrounding area as bright as day. He intended to achieve his goal in one strike to avoid any unforeseen complications.
"Jiu Feng, you lead the others to follow my lead and form the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array!" Qiangliang roared as he planted the Divine Thunder Banner into the ground, causing the Essence Blood of the seven Great Witch to ignite wildly.
Just at this critical moment, a powerful Spatial Power slashed out, tearing a gap in the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation. Seeing the dazzling array of Heavenly Cycle Stars, Dijiang, worried about the safety of Qiangliang and the others, rushed over first.
"Qiangliang, I'm here!"
Dijiang directly merged into the formation of Qiangliang and the others. With the addition of another Ancestral Witch, the power of the formation doubled.
Fortunately, it was just a hasty attack from the Demon Clan race, and they did not fully deploy the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation. Although this attack broke the Divine Fiend Formation composed of Dijiang and Qiangliang with seven Great Witch, it only seriously injured a few of the Great Witch. Dijiang and Qiangliang, whose Physical Body were even stronger, suffered greater backlash, but only experienced Internal Organs tremors and vomited several mouthfuls of blood, which can be considered minor injuries.
When Di Jun saw that Dijiang had arrived in time, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He ordered the Demon Clan behind him to form Star Dipper Formation, and then activated the River Diagram and Luo Shu, bringing Taiyi and Kunpeng into the formation to join him in commanding the formation.
The remaining powerful beings, caught between the Witch and Demon Clans, were all trembling with fear.
"Di Jun, I am willing to lend you a hand!" Styx stood on the Minghe Karma Red Lotus. Seeing the power of the Witch Clan, he decided to join forces with the Demon Clan on the spot.
Minghe had already attacked the Witch Clan, and although it hadn't caused much damage, he was worried that the Witch Clan would retaliate later. After he made this statement, the other powerful figures followed suit.
"Shameless scoundrel!" Jiu Feng shouted angrily upon seeing this.
Suddenly she froze, looking eastward with delight. "The Ancestral Witches have arrived!"
Di Jun had already sensed the situation and made preparations.
The world suddenly changed color.
Ten beams Tongtian light, piercing the heavens and penetrating the earth, rose from afar, causing Shanyue to collapse and rivers to flow backward wherever they passed.
Worried about the safety of Dijiang and Qiangliang, the other ten Ancestral Witch sped along, making quite a scene.
