Yuanshi Tianzun stood on the clouds, holding the Pangu Banner, with Yuqing Immortal Light cascading down like a waterfall, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Compared to Tongtian's relatively gentle approach towards the Demon Clan, Yuanshi was completely different. He wanted to use this incident to demonstrate the power of the Saint, to show his divine power in public, and to make a name for the Three Pure Ones. Therefore, he had to cleanly and decisively eliminate the Witch Clan.
"You barbarians of the Witch Clan, how dare you defy the Holy Will and destroy the Primordial Desolation World?" The Yuanshi Banner Flag unfurled, Chaos Sword Qi tore through the sky. "Today I will show you the true power of Saint!"
The Pangu Banner fluttered in the wind, its surface churning with Chaos Aura. A Chaos Sword Qi, as powerful as if splitting the World Creation, struck the core of the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array. If this strike landed, it would be enough to cleave the still-uncompletely formed Pangu Phantom in half.
"Heaven-Opening!"
The Pangu Phantom used his hand as an axe to cleave the incoming Chaos Sword Qi. When the two collided, the Chaos Sword Qi shattered the phantom's arm, and the remaining power burst into the Witch Clan formation behind, causing huge casualties.
They had fought the Demon Clan race for a long time without suffering such heavy losses. They never expected that the Three Pure Ones' intervention would cause such heavy casualties among their men.
On the other hand, although Tongtian and the Demon Clan exchanged blows, both sides were clearly holding back. Tongtian did not use his full strength and did not even use his Spiritual Treasure.
Isn't this differential treatment blatantly favoritism in the eyes of the Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan?
Is this because the Witch and Demon Clans has gained the upper hand in the war between the Witch Clan, so they want to weaken their strength? Or is it because Demon Clan Witch Clan's Saint Nuwa is a fellow disciple of the Three Pure Ones, so they are taking sides?
Looking at the numerous dead and wounded followers behind them, the twelve Ancestral Witch, including Dijiang, were filled with rage. "Three Pure Ones, is this how you quell the conflict between my Witch Clan and the Demon Clan?"
To stop at the Demon Clan and then slaughter my Witch Clan?
"Yuanshi, you killed my sons! You've gone too far!" Dijiang's eyes turned bloodshot, and the Witch patterns on his Ancestral Witch True Body erupted. "Brothers, burn my Essence Blood!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches simultaneously activated their Bloodline, burning some of their Essence Blood to spew out golden blood mist. The blood mist merged into the Capital Gods and Fiends Banner, and the ancient patterns of Pangu Heaven-Opening immediately appeared on the banner.
Instantly, the Primordial Desolation Earth trembled violently, and countless Baleful Qi flowed like rivers into the sea, frantically converging towards the Ancestral Witch before surging into the Great Formation.
The speed at which the Baleful Qi gathered suddenly increased, and the Pangu Phantom solidified in a short time. The moment the phantom solidified completely, the Pangu's Will had been wandering in the Primordial Desolation World converged on the Baleful Qi figure, making the figure suddenly become agile and natural.
The Pangu's Will within the figure seemed to sense something, and it uttered a Dao Sound.
"Axe, come on!"
After the Dao Sound was emitted, a bizarre scene unfolded!
The Eastern Emperor Bell trembled violently in Taiyi's hand, the Taiji Diagram flickered erratically beneath Laozi's feet, and even the Pangu Banner in Yuanshi's hand hummed. All three treasures were about to fly away at the same time, responding to the call of the Baleful Qi figure!
Laozi frowned slightly, his Primordial Spirit mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao to suppress the anomaly in the Taiji Diagram: "The Pangu's Legacy... I underestimated the Witch Clan's Formations."
Taiyi's expression changed drastically. Golden Crow True Fire coiled around the bell, and he channeled all his Magical Power to suppress the Eastern Emperor Bell: "The Eastern Emperor Bell is my innate treasure; how dare I allow others to summon it!"
The most disheveled was Yuanshi Tianzun, who was urging the Pangu Banner to prepare for the counterattack of the Witch Clan. At this moment, the Magic Treasure went out of control and almost caused a backlash, which caused the Yuqing Immortal Light in his body to become somewhat disordered.
During this time, the Pangu figure formed from the Baleful Qi, seeing that it could not summon the Three Treasures of Creation of creation, could only use the Baleful Qi to create a giant axe. At this moment, it swung the giant axe formed from the Baleful Qi and unleashed the World Creation Strike. A dark light that spanned the heavens and the earth cleaved down towards Yuanshi!
"Senior brother, be careful!" Tongtian shouted in alarm.
Yuanshi was caught off guard and, due to the unusual movement of the Pangu Banner, he was unable to unleash the full power of the treasure. The Chaos Sword Qi emitted through the Pangu Banner was less than 30% of its previous power, and it was shattered as soon as it came into contact with the axe light. He couldn't even withstand it for a moment.
The axe light continued to fall, Yuanshi had no time to react. He simply instinctively mobilized the Vast Righteousness of the Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasure within his Primordial Spirit.
With a crisp "crack," the Nine Heavens Crown on Yuanshi's head shattered, and his hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
The axe's light, still powerful, was blocked three inches from his face by the Vast Righteousness of the suddenly appearing treasure, producing a metallic clang.
As the air surged, Yuanshi's Daoist robe fluttered in the wind, and he staggered back three steps before regaining his balance.
"Hahaha!" Dijiang laughed loudly, his voice shaking the heavens. "Even Saint is no more than this!"
The Primordial World Powers who were watching from the shadows were all horrified.
The Ancestor Minghe, hidden within the projection of the Blood Sea, watched as the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords trembled slightly. "The Witch Clan is truly insane, daring to humiliate Saint like this..."
He suddenly remembered his earlier attack on the Witch Clan and broke out in a cold sweat.
The Kunpeng Demon Master stood at the edge of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation, his bird-like eyes flashing with a sharp light. "What a bunch of the Witch Clan! They even dare to slap Saint's face..."
Putting aside racial grudges, both Di Jun and Taiyi felt a sense of admiration for the Twelve Ancestral Witches upon witnessing this scene.
That's absolutely too much torture!
Laozi was also a bit troubled by how things had developed. He knew his second brother Yuanshi's temper very well, and he was afraid that he was about to cause a big problem.
Nuwa and the Two Sages of the West were both watching the show silently from the sidelines. However, Nuwa was there in person, so the viewing experience was better. The Two Sages of the West, residing on Mount Sumeru, could only observe the battle scene through the Heavenly Dao.
In the center of the battlefield, Yuanshi Tianzun slowly raised his head.
Beneath his disheveled hair, his usually dignified face was now contorted into a grotesque demon.
The Yuqing Immortal Light transformed into tangible flames that burned around him, scorching countless holes in the space around him.
"Dijiang, you're... courting death!"
Yuanshi never expected that his attempt to show off would backfire so spectacularly, leaving him utterly humiliated. He valued his reputation above all else, and was now burning with rage.
With a sharp shout, he put away the Pangu Banner. Since this treasure was unsuitable for this occasion, he would choose another one. Yuanshi grinned and offered up the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
Even if Yuanshi abandoned the Pangu Banner and only used the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, he would still be invincible in the Primordial World. If the mere Witch Clan hadn't caught him off guard, how could they have knocked off his hair ornament?
Ten thousand acres of Auspicious Cloud appeared above Yuanshi's head, and three Daoists jumped out from three Golden Flowers. They were the Good Corpse Yuqing Daoist, the Evil Corpse Primordial Chaos Demon, and the Self Corpse Primordial Chaos Patriarch.
With Three Corpses emerging, they're getting serious!
Seeing this, Tongtian hurriedly transmitted his voice. "Second Senior Brother, don't be impulsive!"
"Second brother, the bigger picture is more important!"
"Elder brother, third brother, there's no need to persuade me. Immortality the Witch Clan today, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches remained unfazed. Dijiang coldly sneered, "So what if you're Saint? My Witch Clan fights against heaven and earth, never retreating. Why would we fear you?"
He was about to activate the Great Formation again.
