The Moon Star Leaves a Way Out, the Witch Clan Drills Its Great Formation
In the Primordial Desolation World, a chilling and desolate atmosphere pervaded.
The once powerful and influential Witch and Demon Clans now clearly sense the gears of fate turning.
At this moment, neither Emperor Jun, the demon emperor of the Heavenly Court, nor Emperor Jiang, the ancestral witch of the Pangu Palace, had the same grand ambitions they once had.
Heavenly Court, Sun Palace.
The magnificent palace was no longer bustling with activity. Di Jun sat at the top, while Fuxi sat below him on the steps.
At this crucial moment, Di Jun missed Taiyi and Kunpeng a little.
His gaze drifted ahead, as if he could see the end of the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Primordial World, where Taiyi and Kunpeng roamed in the endless Chaos, and also the figures of many Saint hidden beyond the nine heavens and in the Depths of Chaos, who wanted to seize the power of heaven and earth.
The Jieyin and Zhunti established the teachings in the Western Region; Nuwa practiced serene inaction; the Three Pure Ones Zhenyuanzi upheld the Heavenly Dao Dharma Lineage; Zhen Yuanzi, with his Bearing Things with Vast Virtue, carried all things; the Minghe's might suppressed the Blood Sea; the Mount Tai Prefecture Lord and the Great Emperor Fengdu jointly governed the Order of the Youming; Ziwei Star Lord illuminated the dark Starry Sky...
These dozen or so lofty Saint, their will and their doctrines, are like an invisible Web of Luo, having long since permeated every corner of the Primordial World.
The wonders of heaven and earth, Spirit Mountain mountains and rivers, Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands, the Fortune of all living beings... these resources for Hunyuan Dao and ascending to higher realms are all firmly controlled under the lineage of the Dao of Humanity.
"Prove Dao with Fortune? Ha..."
Di Jun's voice was filled with disdain; he had given up all hope for this path.
"Hongjun Dao Ancestor was able to Fortune of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, and then successfully Union with the Dao the Dao by borrowing the Fortune of the great beings who listened to the Dao in the lecture hall. He opened the Prove Dao with Fortune, which is already a stroke of luck from Heaven. This is a unique case."
Since then, Saint have risen like stars in the sky; where in this world could there be room for a second person Prove Dao with Fortune?
Don't you think so, Fuxi?
Di Jun turned to look at Fuxi below the steps. The wise and resourceful Xi Huang also slowly nodded, his eyes showing the same understanding.
The war between the Lich King Witch-Demon King was no longer about vying for that elusive Prove Dao with Fortune; they were all merely pawns on a chessboard, pushed forward by the forces of heaven and earth.
"Fuxi," Di Jun's eyes were deep, "Our goals have long since changed. Now, we only hope to preserve a Fire Seed for the Demon Clan and fight for a chance to survive."
Fuxi remained silent, a hint of understanding and approval flashing in his eyes.
As night fell, the moon and stars shone coldly, making the Guanghan Palace appear even more desolate.
Di Jun appeared in the Moon Palace, where the two Moon Goddesses, Changxi and Xihe, were already waiting.
Beneath the usually cool moonlight, a sense of sorrowful parting now surged.
As soon as Di Jun arrived, Changxi and Xihe rushed forward to greet him, and then they entered the Moon Palace together.
Deep within the Moon Palace lies a portal of light, the other end of which leads directly to the depths of the Moon Star.
Through the portal, the three arrived at an incredibly profound array Formation Platform deep within the Stars.
The Formation Platform shimmered with light, etched with patterns more intricate than the Heavenly Cycle Stars, and at its core, a deep, Chaos light flickered faintly.
This is an escape route that Di Jun painstakingly constructed, gathering the wisdom of the Demon Clan's capable Strongmen, absorbing the essence of many Formations, and connecting with the power of the Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Formation from Beyond Heaven. It leads directly to the secret stronghold established by Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Kunpeng Depths of Chaos.
In this space, there are also Di Jun's offspring: the sixth prince who survived the catastrophe of the Tenth Golden Crow Prince, and twelve Jade Rabbit.
Having experienced the ordeal of Da Yi Shoots the Suns, Lu Ya toned down his former impetuousness and matured rapidly, now displaying a composed demeanor.
Besides them, there are tens of thousands of other young Demon Clan carefully selected by Di Jun. They have pure Bloodline, extraordinary talents, and represent the future of the Demon Clan.
These little demons are still young, their eyes filled with innocence and naivety.
Upon seeing Di Jun, everyone became very excited, like a group of Primordial World Star-Pursuing who had finally met their long-admired idol.
"Your Majesty, are we really not needed in the subsequent battles?"
"I'm worried that we won't have enough manpower and we'll suffer losses." Changxi's brows showed no concealment of worry.
Di Jun waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over his offspring and the carefully chosen Demon God, a rare gentleness appearing in his eyes. "
No further explanation is needed.
This arrangement concerns the very survival of our Demon Clan Fire Seed. You only need to protect them; you need not worry about anything else.
He pointed to a jade platform deep within the secret chamber, radiating a ghostly blue light and adorned with ancient and intricate runes:
With your authority Moon Star Lord, you the Two control the Moonlight Essence, which allows you to be deeply connected with the Great Formation.
The Moon Profound Pivot Transmission Great Formation has been activated and is ready to deploy at any time.
Di Jun took out a treasure pouch with understated brilliance and a jade box, and handed them to Changxi and Xihe.
Changxi took the treasure pouch, Xihe He took the jade box.
Di Jun pointed to the two objects and said, "
I have opened the Demon Court's Treasure Vault.
Of these, six or seven tenths have already been counted and distributed by Fuxi and Bai Ze to various armies and units to strengthen battle formations and enhance the abilities of demon generals Demon Soldiers.
The rest are all yours.
When Changxi opened the treasure pouch, it was filled with mountains of rare and precious treasures, materials that shone with divine light, jade bottles filled with elixirs and even seven or eight innate Innate Spiritual Treasure that emitted terrifying fluctuations and were in a sealed state.
The jade box contains various Cultivation Method and Divine Ability texts, representing the accumulated resources of the Demon Clan race since its founding.
"This..." Changxi and Xihe He were moved.
"Okay, no need to worry about these things."
You must protect them. If the tide turns, you will be the Starfire that ignites the resurgence of the Demon Clan.
Xihe, and a precious mirror flowing with Moonlight Essence ripples appeared. "Your Majesty, rest assured, the 'Void Moon Mirror' is now connected to the teleportation array hub. It can draw in more pure Moonlight Essence to accelerate the teleportation process and stabilize the passage, ensuring absolute safety."
Changxi also solemnly said, "During the great battle, if the Heavenly Cycle Stars Formation is activated, it will be necessary to mobilize the power of Moon. The Two us here can lend a helping hand to the Great Formation."
If the situation becomes critical, my sister and I will do the Two in our power to protect these children. If things go wrong, we will activate the Great Formation to escape immediately.
Di Jun gazed deeply at his two Dao Companion and the children, his eyes holding a thousand unspoken words, which ultimately condensed into one sentence. "To live is to have hope."
After saying this, he resolutely turned around, and in the pillar of Moonlight Essence, Di Jun's figure gradually faded away.
After bidding farewell to Wenqing, Di Jun returned to the Celestial Palace.
On the Heavenly Court's martial arts arena, Baleful Qi aura soared to the heavens!
Millions of elite Demon Clan formed square formations, practicing various military formations time and again under the command of numerous Demon God and Demon Marshal.
The immense Star Power surged like the tides, and countless Stars Banners echoed and shone, outlining the illusory images of countless Stars in the sky.
Di Jun has nearly emptied the Heavenly Court Treasury of resources, distributing them without regard to cost to arm every Demon Soldiers and Generals.
Their golden armor gleamed, their sharp blades gleamed, and their chilling aura seemed to dim the entire Heavenly Realm Star River.
The devastation of Buzhou Mountain's collapse still lingers on the Primordial Desolation Earth, but the area surrounding the Pangu Temple, the core territory of the Witch Clan, has already returned to its former glory.
Pangu Hall, the Twelve Ancestral Witches —no, now eight —Ancestral Witch are gathered. Houtu and Xuanming, having become Saint, no longer participate in these affairs.
Dijiang's majestic gaze swept over the group of top-tier Great Witch standing before him, their auras powerful and their Baleful Qi intent overwhelming.
Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, Chi You, Wind Master, Rain Master, Xiangliu... each name represents the formidable fighting power of the core members of the Witch Clan.
"The Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array is the clan-protecting Formations of my Witch Clan!" Dijiang's voice echoed like thunder throughout the palace.
When this formation is activated, it can solidify the Pangu True Body, and its power can break through all laws!
However, Houtu Embody Reincarnation, Xuanming has become the Way of Earth Saint, and the two Ancestral Witch, Gonggong and Zhurong, perished at the Buzhou Mountain. Of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, four are now missing!
After the initial selection process, three replacements have been chosen; now, a fourth candidate needs to be selected!
His words still carried a hint of pain, and his gaze finally settled on the three Great Witch, each with a different aura.
Of the three, Wind Master is from the Tianwu lineage and possesses wind-type Bloodline; Rain Master is from the Gonggong lineage and possesses water-type Bloodline; and Xiangliu exudes an extremely cold aura originating from the Xuanming lineage, clearly indicating the Laws of ice.
After a brief silence, the Ancestral Witch Jumang spoke, "Xiang Liu inherited a wisp of Xuanming's essence, possessing the deepest foundation and the strongest resonance with the blood essence of us Ancestral Witches."
Rushou nodded:
Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, and Chi You are all top-tier in strength, but only Xing Tian comes from the Houtu lineage and is compatible with it. The other two are not compatible, so they are ultimately not capable of completely replacing the Ancestral Witch in setting up the formation.
The Gods and Fiends Great Formation is based on the principle of shared Bloodline. While it emphasizes strength, it cannot ignore compatibility. I think we should choose Xiangliu as the fourth person.
Qiangliang, Tianwu, and other Ancestral Witch also agreed.
Upon hearing this, Xiangliu suddenly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice, "
Having received the generous gift of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, Xiang Liu should naturally succeed the Xuanming Ancestral Witch in taking over the position!
Even if it costs us our lives, we will protect the foundation of our Witch Clan!
A glint of light flashed in Dijiang's eyes. "Good!"
Xiangliu is the alternative to the Xuanming Formation.
Jiu Feng, Xing Tian, and Chi You, you shall respectively succeed Zhurong, Houtu, and Gonggong.
With the candidates chosen, the next step was extremely rigorous and arduous training to get them integrated into the team.
Behind the Pangu Hall lies the Ancestral Witch Trial Grounds, which are personally presided over by Ancestral Witch such as Dijiang and Zhujiuyin.
Jiu Feng's body was surrounded by surging crimson blood energy, Xing Tian's battle intent soared to the sky, Chi You's demonic patterns appeared and disappeared, Xiangliu's body was covered with patches of deep blue Mystic Ice.
The powerful Essence Blood of the Ancestral Witch surged into their bodies like a raging river, attempting to awaken that trace of their original nature that could resonate with the Ancestral Witch.
"Buzz--!"
As the four used Secret Technique to guide their power and attempt to simulate a corner of the Gods and Fiends Great Formation, the rumbling of the space was terrifying.
An extremely blurry, towering phantom flashed past among the four!
However, the phantom was extremely dim, far less imposing than the one that once shook the Chaos when the Twelve Ancestral Witches summoned it.
However, this was not something that a few Great Witch could withstand. The next moment, a terrifying backlash suddenly pressed down!
"Pfft!" Xing Tian couldn't hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood, leaning on his Gan Qi and shield to keep going.
You Hun was covered in flashing demonic patterns, and cracks were even appearing on his skin.
Jiu Feng let out a muffled groan. As Qiangliang's Qiangliang's younger sister, her foundation was much deeper than that of ordinary Great Witch. She was known as the Thirteenth Ancestral Witch of the Witch Clan. Compared to the other three, her reaction was the least, with only a few fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
Looking at Xiangliu again, he had temporarily frozen the backlash by relying on the Xuanming Origin and the power of ice, but his face had turned as pale as snow.
Dijiang and Zhujiuyin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with deep worry.
"Worse than expected!" Dijiang said in a deep voice, "The four of us working together can barely move a corner of the Pangu Phantom, but its power is less than half of what it used to be, and it cannot be sustained."
Seeing this, Dijiang could only lead them to the blood pool in the Pangu Hall to absorb the power of the Ancestral Witch's Essence Blood condensed from Pangu Heart, in order to enhance their Root Foundation and origin.
Thus, the four would occasionally summon a phantom to check if they met the requirements for joint training. The power of the Ancestral Witch Blood condensed in the Pangu Blood Pool was always open to them, hoping that they would break through their own shackles as soon as possible, so that they could unleash the power of the Gods and Fiends Great Formation in the subsequent great battle.
After repeated practice, the four finally met the standard and were ready to begin the complete rehearsal of the Gods and Fiends Great Formation.
The four's first rehearsal took place inside the Pangu Hall.
With Dijiang's command, countless ancient evil patterns engraved in the Pangu Temple lit up one after another, and the turbid evil energy of the earth gathered like a raging dragon.
The eight Ancestral Witch, including Dijiang, roared, their forms transforming into enormous Ancestral Witch True Body. Violent energy erupted from their bodies, intertwining and drawing together to form a vast field that shook the Qiankun and stirred the primordial Yuanling of Pangu.
However, at the center of this field, the Whirlpool of Baleful Qi representing the position of Houtu appeared exceptionally hollow and unstable.
"Roar!" Xing Tian roared as he stepped into that position, raising his Gan Qi high as if to cleave through the invisible pressure.
Seeing this, the other three also stepped into the formation. Chi You appeared with Three Heads and Six Arms, frantically pouring in Baleful Qi and battle aura. Jiu Feng and Xiangliu both had nine heads. The two let out a clear whistle, and the nine phantom heads hissed, drawing in the surging primordial evil energy into the formation.
"Condense the evil! Unite the form! Summon the will of the Father God, and mold the true form of Pangu!" Dijiang's voice boomed in everyone's ears.
The Baleful Qi field trembled violently, and an incomparably majestic, towering giant phantom began to take shape amidst the violent energy and spatial distortion.
That figure carried the will to World Creation and exuded a pressure that could change the very fabric of heaven and earth—it was the Pangu Phantom!
However, just as the phantom was about to take shape...
"Snap--!"
Xiangliu groaned, his body churning violently with chilling energy. The Baleful Qi he carried made it hard for him to breathe, and the nine illusory snake heads instantly turned transparent, his face turning deathly pale!
Xing Tian Chi You the Two also swayed, as if they had been struck by an invisible giant hammer. Their aura suddenly froze, and they let out a painful roar.
Only Jiu Feng, with her superior Root Foundation and Physical Body attributes, was able to sustain it.
The Pangu Phantom flickered violently, becoming somewhat illusory, its outline even distorted, appearing very unstable!
The powerful pressure that permeated the Divine Hall also receded rapidly, like a receding tide.
It lasted only a few breaths before the phantom symbolizing the ultimate power of the Witch Clan could no longer remain stable. With a resentful, mournful roar, it vanished in a flash!
"Puff!"
Xing Tian, Xiangliu, Chi You simultaneously spat out blood imbued with pure, turbid Baleful Qi. Their auras instantly weakened, and their muscles ruptured in multiple places, revealing significant backlash injuries.
Although Jiu Feng managed to stand, her body swayed, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and the wind and thunder radiance on her wings dimmed considerably.
The room fell silent, save for the heavy breathing.
The massive bodies of Dijiang and the Ancestral Witch slowly returned to human form, their faces solemn and serene.
Qiangliang lightning crackled around Qiang Liang as he growled in a deep voice, "The time was too short. The difference in strength between the three of them and us is too great. If we want them to successfully integrate into the formation, I think we need to make some minor adjustments to the Great Formation to reduce the pressure they bear and distribute it among the eight of us!"
Upon hearing this, Dijiang and the others nodded in unison.
"Let's do it this way! Let's all eight of us work together to figure it out."
Dijiang made the decision immediately.
Then, Jumang emitted a rich life essence to heal the four people's injuries. The backlash had left considerable damage, and they would need some time to recover.
