The Pangu Phantom slowly raised its arm, and the Giant Axe Phantom was held high!
The giant's movements were ancient and heavy, as if traversing Eternal Space-time, tracing back from the Heaven-Opening, aiming to cleave through the infinite Chaos.
Dijiang's voice Yunxiao, charging towards the Demon Clan camp with a swing of his axe. "Open... the... heaven... one... strike!"
"Roar!!!"
The others also let out a deafening roar, and then, the giant arm of the Pangu Phantom suddenly swung down!
Swish--
A sharp axe flashed instantly!
In that instant, time seemed to freeze, all senses went blank, and only that beam of light dominated everything, moving at an unbelievable speed.
Wherever the axe light passed, space was completely erased, leaving a trail of nothingness that rushed straight toward the giant hand of the Star Dharma Form!
The immensely powerful axe light, carrying the might to Heaven-Opening, resolutely cleaved towards the colossal hand of Stars that covered the Firmament and crushed down, meeting the massive Star Torrent in the palm that blotted out the sun and moon!
Rumble rumble--
A violent collision erupted!
The first thing that Sky-Opening Axe light encountered was the torrent of Spiritual Power gathered in the palm of the Star Dharma Form!
Time and space seemed to stretch out for a moment.
The torrent of Spiritual Power, powerful enough to destroy a great world, was violently twisted and churned the moment it came into contact with the axe light, like snow meeting the scorching sun or a raging tide stirred by an invisible force. Finally, it was cleaved in two from the very center by the unstoppable axe light!
Laugh!
The scattered Star Power lost its structural support and swept and dissipated in all directions like a raging tsunami, forming concentric shockwaves of Destruction in the sky, instantly annihilating countless tiny Stars that were affected!
However!
When the axe light completely tore through the Star Torrent and struck the massive, materialized starlight palm of the Star Dharma Form, a crisp sound was heard.
Clang--
A deafening clang, like metal clashing, was accompanied by the hissing sound of something tough being forcibly sliced open!
The axe's light penetrated deep into the palm.
The enormous, Shanyue- like hand of the Star Dharma Form was cleaved in two by this World Creation Strike, leaving a terrifying wound that pierced through the back of the hand, so deep that bone was visible, and almost severing the entire hand in two!
Starlight spilled from the edges of the wound, attempting to regroup, but was temporarily blocked by the Daoist principles contained within the power of Pangu's Heaven-Opening of the world!
The entire Star Dharma Form tilted slightly backward due to the heavy attack!
"It's done?" Qiangliang roared excitedly from within the formation, his voice hoarse from the intense burning of his primal energy.
"No!" Zhujiuyin's voice was unusually solemn, his eyes fixed on the giant's palm, "The Demon Clan's tortoise shell is harder than I imagined!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the core of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation, the Three Hundred Sixty-Five Main Stars, shone brightly, and countless Stars throughout the Starry Sky echoed in response!
Like a waterfall, the rich and pure power of the Stars converged from all directions and flowed toward the giant hand of the Star Dharma Form that had been almost split in two!
Hiss... The starlight, like a viscous galaxy, swiftly traversed the enormous wound, washing away the Heavenly Dao energy while simultaneously repairing and fusing it!
The destructive Daoist essence remaining from that World Creation Strike was visibly obliterated by the torrent of Star Power!
Just a few breaths!
The terrifying wound that had nearly severed the giant hand was rapidly healing under the continuous influx of Star Power!
The enormous Star Dharma Form palm only paused briefly while the Star Power flowed and repaired itself. Once the repair was complete, it continued to crush down on the Witch Clan's Great Formation with unparalleled power!
Even before it reached you, the space was already being compressed and groaning under the strain!
"What? Why is this Star Dharma Form so hard? It can even recover!" Qiangliang roared angrily, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Eldest Brother!" Xuanming looked at Dijiang, his cold voice carrying a hint of urging and anxiety.
Seeing the massive shadow of the hand pressing down again, Dijiang made a decisive decision:
This Star Dharma Form has a hard body; we must find its weakness and attack it!
Do you see the connection point between its palm and arm? Chop towards those two points!
"Kill!!"
The others neither questioned nor backed down, and acted upon hearing the call.
The twelve people in the formation had their blood flames burn even more fiercely, and several Great Witch even began to burn their very essence!
An even more tragic and heroic aura than before soared into the sky. The Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array, which had been somewhat unstable after several battles, stabilized once again like an unkillable cockroach and burst forth with new brilliance!
The Pangu Phantom, having just completed its slashing motion, hadn't even retracted its arm yet.
Under the synchronized Bloodline resonance of all the Ancestral Witch, the enormous phantom seemed to possess a true fighting instinct!
He let out a deep and majestic roar, his massive body twisting to the right. He gripped the solidified Giant Axe Phantom axe that split the Heaven-Opening with both hands, and with his palms turned, he lifted it up from below towards the huge Stars hand that was reaching out again, radiating terrifying pressure, performing a move called "Fishing for the Moon from the Sea"!
"Cut!!!"
The Pangu Phantom exerted force from his waist and abdomen, his core rotated, and his arms drove the giant axe to draw a mysterious arc, his power infusing the axe blade!
A burst of axe light erupted!
Bang!!!
This axe struck solidly into the palm of his hand, where the marks remained after the repairs!
Crack! Sizzle!
The structure, which had just healed and whose power of the Stars was still weak, was instantly torn apart by the condensed light of the Sky-Opening Axe!
The axe light traced a path along the palm, slicing through it before smoothly turning 180 degrees and striking the wrist.
The dazzling starlight splattered like blood!
A huge gash instantly pierced through the entire palm, and the hand was severed from the arm, broken in two!
The giant Stars- shaped finger, along with its entire palm, was instantly severed from the arm, shattering into countless Star Fragments!
The enormous arm of the Dharma Form suddenly trembled!
Before the Dharma Form could react and dodge, the Pangu Phantom did not pause at all. Its enormous body completed a small half-circle rotation. Using the power of the rotation, the Sky-Opening Axe swung in the void, drawing a large semi-circle!
The incredibly heavy axe blade, carrying the will to sever everything, slashed down viciously along the joint between the arm and shoulder of the Star Dharma Form!
Where the axe flashed, starlight shattered!
The Stars nodes that made up the wrist let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain before being swiftly and decisively severed!
Bang!!!
A blinding light burst forth from the broken edge, as if the galaxy's Star River had been severed!
The massive arm, now bare and devoid of its hands, was cleanly severed at the shoulder by this axe stroke, just above the wrist and close to the shoulder!
Rumble--
The massive severed arm, having lost the core connection of the Formations, collapsed its internal Star Power structure, transforming into countless shattered torrents of starlight and enormous starlight debris. With Destruction aftershocks, it tumbled down from the Firmament and crashed into the Primordial Desolation Earth below! The impacts were incessant, triggering a series of earthquakes and landslides!
These three axe blows were executed in one swift motion, completed in the blink of an eye!
However, Di Jun was no ordinary person. Although he failed to react in time when the Pangu Axe severed the Dharma Form's palm, the opponent's subsequent actions made his purpose quite clear.
Instead of stopping the axe light aimed at his arm, he Dharma Form to trade blows, clenching his other hand into a fist and slamming it into the head of the Pangu Phantom.
Both sides achieved their goals: the axe cleaved off the Dharma Form's arm, while the Dharma Form's fist struck the head of the Pangu Phantom.
Within the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array, the bodies of the Ancestral Witch shook violently at the same time!
The light of Pangu Phantom suddenly dimmed, and the phantom of the Sky-Opening Axe in his hand also became blurry and could hardly maintain its form.
The Formation Runes of the entire Formations flickered erratically, like a candle in the wind, its red light flaring up and down, clearly indicating that it was severely overdrawn and on the verge of collapse.
Maintaining this level of power output means that each strike is a heavy drain on the life essence of the Ancestral Witch.
"Pfft!" Dark golden blood spilled from the corner of Shebishi's mouth, but his eyes remained as fierce as a wolf's.
"... How many did you kill?" Dijiang gasped for breath, forcibly stabilizing his swaying body, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation.
He wasn't concerned with his own exhaustion; he was calculating the battle results.
Within the Star Dou Great Formation, tremendous tremors resounded one after another!
The power of these three axe blows was directly transmitted through the Formations link to the numerous Demon God who were controlling the Formations!
"Ah--!"
"No!"
On many relatively weak Auxiliary Stars nodes that were not controlled by top-tier Demon God, hundreds and thousands of Star Lord let out mournful screams.
The Heaven-Opening Laws and the power of Destruction contained in the Pangu Axe light pierced through the Star Dharma Form and acted directly on them!
In an instant, the light dimmed!
After hundreds, even thousands, of stars representing the positions of Auxiliary Stars flashed violently, they suddenly went out like candles being blown out!
The Demon God Star Lord responsible for controlling these Auxiliary Stars were silently reduced to dust by the powerful Laws and the impact of their origins, or their souls were destroyed and they perished!
Inside the entire Star Dou Great Formation, starlight surged wildly, and the array became somewhat chaotic!
However, the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation truly lived up to its reputation as Heaven-Guarding Great Formation, crafted by the Demon Clan race over countless years and with immense resources. As long as the core Central Star remained intact, its stability far exceeded expectations.
Buzz--Buzz--!
Under the stabilizing influence of Di Jun and Taiyi's will, the Three Hundred Sixty-Five Main Stars burst forth with dazzling light.
The remaining surviving Miscellaneous Luminaries, Auxiliary Stars, and even a large number of Auxiliary Stars had their Spiritual Power and essence forcibly mobilized and drawn by the Central Star to reorganize the formation!
The power of the Stars Origin Diyong wildly from the depths of the Great Formation, from the Stars that had been sacrificed, and converged at the spot where the Star Dharma Form had been severed at the shoulder!
Sizzle... Sizzle...
At the wound where the arm was severed, starlight shone intensely. In just a few blinks of an eye, a new arm, along with the enormous hand, grew back at an astonishing speed!
The Star Dharma Form still stood proudly in the void, as if the pain of the severed arm was merely an illusion.
Zhujiuyin's sharp eyes immediately discerned the changes in the Star Dharma Form: "The severed arm has grown back so quickly, but the Dharma Form's solidity has decreased considerably; it's not without its price!"
Yes, the newly grown arms and hands, though dazzlingly bright, were slightly less solid than before.
Moreover, the enormous, unimaginably massive outline of the Star Dharma Form has become noticeably more transparent, losing some of its previous oppressive, metallic feel.
This level of repair and reconstruction clearly consumed a huge amount of the Star Dou Great Formation's reserve energy.
The immense radiance of the Dharma Form remained, but its internal solidity had been damaged.
"Haha, good! Let's go again, until it can't stand up anymore!" Dijiang laughed loudly, but his body trembled, showing signs of weakness. They themselves were also severely exhausted.
If it weren't for the Baleful Qi and Earth Qi flowing through their bodies, and the fact that Xuanming's Secret Technique could provide them with significant healing, they would never have survived until now.
However, the consequences of burning Bloodline energy are extremely serious, and neither Earth Qi nor Baleful Qi can make up for it.
On the other side, within the Zhou Tian Star Array, the chaotic light caused by the large-scale fall of the secondary star lords, and the slightly dimmed figures of the star dharma images, clearly fell into Di Jun's eyes.
He saw the Pangu Phantom in the Twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Formation, which, though unstable, once again struggled to raise the terrifying outline of the giant axe.
The resilience of the Witch Clan, or rather the madness of the Ancestral Witch who took pride in death, made him realize that this war, which was a gamble with everything, had reached its final stage.
Any attempt to take chances or hold back will lead to utter ruin.
"Apart from the essential Auxiliary Stars, Auxiliary Stars, and Central Star necessary to maintain the formation's operation, the rest will begin their final sacrifice, Return to Origin to Mend Formation!"
Di Jun issued the final order to Star Sacrifice.
For victory, for the survival of the Heavenly Court, that was the sole purpose of the Star Lord's Star Sacrifice!
A brief, silent stillness enveloped the Sea of Stars.
Then, a tidal wave of responses followed.
"Promise!"
"As Your Majesty commands!"
"Sacrifice My Body to the Dao, Gather Stars with My Soul! A sacrifice for my Demon Clan Heavenly Court!"
The next moment!
Countless fireworks were once again ignited across the vast Star Chart of the entire Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation!
Those Star Lord wore resolute or serene expressions, their eyes burning with their final faith.
Their bodies, Primordial Spirit, all their cultivation and accumulated power were ignited in an instant by the Formations's Secret Art, transforming into the purest fuel!
One after another, pure silver beams of light shot into the sky from the thousands of exploding Stars, once again mobilizing the primordial energy within the Stars and violently pouring into the Star Dharma Form standing in the sky along the patterns between the Stars!
With the infusion of vast Spiritual Power, the slightly dim body of the Star Dharma Form was filled with the radiance of the Stars!
The form of the Dharma Form became more solid and clear, and even beneath the somewhat blurred skin and muscles made of starlight, bright, crisscrossing veins began to Meridians!
Within the Dharma Form, a solid skeletal outline seemed to be rapidly taking shape and solidifying under the support of immense Spiritual Power!
A terrifying surge of power slowly revived from the Dharma Form Image, rising steadily!
Di Jun's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, piercing through layers of starlight and locking onto the still-standing crimson Great Formation opposite him, as if he could see its weakness.
"The Star Power has reached its peak; this will be the final glory of the Star Dou Great Formation!"
Yes, now!
Di Jun's eyes flashed with divine light!
He moved his hands with incredible speed, forming hand seals that stirred up the surging Star Power within the entire Great Formation.
