Then, a figure comparable to heavenly might slowly emerged. Its expression was calm, as if it viewed all living beings in the world as mere straw dogs!
It was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Upon Hongjun's appearance, everyone's expression shifted unpredictably!
The Witch Race was furious, glaring at Hongjun!
Di Jun and the others rejoiced, not expecting the Dao Ancestor to intervene and aid the Demon Race!
The Six Saints' gazes sharpened, their deep eyes lost in thought.
Even Jiang Chen was deeply captivated by him!
In short, their reactions varied.
"May I ask Dao Ancestor Hongjun, why do you obstruct our Witch Race from destroying the demons?!"
Within the Pangu True Body, Houtu's furious voice boomed.
The Witch Race was on the verge of eradicating the Demon Race and taking control of the Primordial Era, only to be stopped by Hongjun. It was unbearable how angry the Witch Race felt.
Furthermore, the Witch Race had always disrespected Saints, only revering Father God Pangu. They immediately questioned Hongjun!
"This is not a true Calamity descending. The Demon Race cannot be destroyed now! From this day forth, demons shall rule the heavens, and witches shall govern the earth. No conflict shall arise between them for one Kalpa!"
Hongjun replied indifferently.
No conflict arising within one Kalpa meant that the Calamity would descend after one Kalpa!
Everyone understood.
However, the Witch Race could not afford to wait. They were so close to annihilating the Demon Race, how could they be dissuaded by Hongjun's few words?
"I don't care if you're the Dao Ancestor! I will destroy the Demon Race today. If you stand in our way, I fear not even a Saint. It's a good opportunity to test a Saint's strength!"
Zhu Rong's furious words echoed throughout the heavens.
Upon hearing this, the world fell silent!
Everyone's eyelids twitched!
Even Jiang Chen was too stunned to speak.
This was Dao Ancestor Hongjun! Were the Twelve Ancestral Magi fearless or simply audacious? Although the Twelve Ancestral Magi could manifest the Pangu True Body, it was not the true Pangu. They might not even be able to withstand a Saint, let alone Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the teacher of the Six Saints!
As expected.
Just as the Pangu True Body swung its giant axe, a monstrous wave of magic power descended from the heavens, striking directly at the Pangu True Body!
BOOM!
In the blink of an eye, the Pangu True Body shattered. The figures of the Twelve Ancestral Magi appeared, their faces pale as they were all sent flying backward!
Clearly, they were all heavily injured!
With a single blow, the Pangu True Body was shattered by Hongjun!
Seeing this, everyone could not help but be awestruck by Hongjun's unfathomable power!
Even Zhu Rong, who had been shouting earlier, was now silent, his face filled with shock and despair!
They never imagined Hongjun's power to be so terrifying. They had found this supreme formation within their Father God's essence blood, specifically to deal with Saints. But now, facing reality, they had to admit the invincible power of a Saint!
Yet, despite this, they showed no fear!
Fortunately, the heavens treat all things as straw dogs. Hongjun, having already severed his Three Corpses and merged with the Heavenly Dao, paid no heed to the Twelve Ancestral Magi's provocation. He glanced at them indifferently before disappearing.
Thus, the initial Witch-Demon war ended in a mutual destruction!
Seeing this, Jiang Chen could not help but sigh. This battle had truly exceeded everyone's expectations.
First, two peerless grand formations appeared. Then, the Demon Race annihilated Dong Wang Gong. Following that, the Witch Race intervened, and just as they were about to destroy the Demon Race, Hongjun, who was rumored to have merged with the Heavenly Dao, made his move!
Everything unfolded exactly as it was in Jiang Chen's memory, with no changes whatsoever!
This made Jiang Chen's gaze sharpen. Why had he spoken of the Three Pure Ones as a family when he was in Kunlun? It was to try and change things, but later the Three Pure Ones still separated. Now, the Witch and Demon races were the same!
Could it be that the general trend truly cannot be changed?
If that were the case, wouldn't the Investiture of the Gods follow as scheduled after the Witch-Demon Calamity?
Although the Witch-Demon war did not involve him, the Investiture of the Gods was different. It primarily targeted the Intercepting Sect!
And he was the eldest disciple of the Intercepting Sect!
If the Investiture of the Gods arrived, even Jiang Chen dared not say he could remain unharmed and avoid being killed and placed on the Investiture of the Gods List!
After all, the Witch-Demon war was one thing, as no Saints intervened. But the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods was entirely different. The Intercepting Sect would be facing three other major sects, and even four Saints!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen fell silent, his heart feeling heavy. This was why he was striving to break through so quickly.
But soon, he shook his head, dispelling the杂念 in his mind.
It was too early to worry about those things. Moreover, even if they did arrive, what was there to fear?
"Right, now that Dong Wang Gong is dead, doesn't that mean his treasury has become ownerless?"
Suddenly, a thought struck Jiang Chen.
After tasting the benefits of the treasure vault, he immediately thought of Dong Wang Gong's treasure vault!
Everyone was still immersed in the previous great battle, and Dong Wang Gong was already dead. This was the perfect time to go and reap the rewards!
No sooner said than done, Jiang Chen took a step forward, using the divine ability Vastness in Inches at will. In a short time, he appeared on Penglai Island!
Dong Wang Gong had established the ancient Heavenly Court on Penglai Island, and a palace was located in the center of the island!
Immediately, Jiang Chen flew in, releasing his spiritual sense to scan the interior and exterior of the great hall!
Before long, a hidden door concealed by a formation appeared within his spiritual sense!
Following the usual pattern, the treasure vault was likely hidden within!
With this thought, Jiang Chen immediately began to break the formation.
Fortunately, he had already learned many divine abilities from the Three Pure Ones, including formation divine abilities. Moreover, perhaps Dong Wang Gong never expected his treasure vault to be visited by others, so the formation wasn't too complex. Thus, he quickly deciphered the formation here.
"It really is!"
As soon as he finished breaking the formation, countless spiritual treasures emitting Dao Rhyme appeared before Jiang Chen, filling him with joy!
In his sight.
Dense spiritual herbs and heavenly treasures were everywhere!
It was no different from what he had seen in the Witch Race's treasure vault before!
However, perhaps it was because the Witch Race didn't use spiritual treasures, while Dong Wang Gong did, that although the quantity of spiritual herbs and heavenly treasures here was acceptable, there were far fewer high-level ones. Compared to the Witch Race's treasure vault, this place was worlds apart!
The only two items that caught Jiang Chen's eye were these.
The first was a fruit tree planted here.
It looked very similar to an ordinary fruit tree, at most emitting a trace of Innate Dao Rhyme. However, what caught Jiang Chen's attention were not these, but the peach fruits hanging on the tree!
He was no stranger to these peach fruits. When he first arrived in the Primordial Era, he had received one, and after eating it, his strength had greatly increased, allowing him to break through to the Early Profound Immortal realm. He remembered it vividly!
That's right, these peach fruits were the Immortal Peaches he had eaten!
This fruit tree was also one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, the Immortal Peach Tree!
Jiang Chen never expected that Dong Wang Gong's treasure vault would hide an Immortal Peach Tree!
This also meant that from now on, he could eat Immortal Peaches continuously!
In addition, there was another spiritual treasure that surprised Jiang Chen.
Beside the Immortal Peach Tree, a purple lotus floated in mid-air, its petals blooming in twelve grades!
A Samsara Dao intent flowed continuously!
"This is, the Twelve-Grade Purple Lotus of Reincarnation?"
If he only looked at the appearance of the lotus, Jiang Chen might not have known what this spiritual treasure was, but when he felt that Samsara Dao intent, his eyes lit up, and a spiritual treasure corresponding to it popped into his mind!
Legend had it that the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Green Lotus of Creation, was damaged during the creation of heaven and earth as it couldn't withstand the pressure. Its petals transformed into countless spiritual treasures, and even the six lotus seeds it contained differentiated into six twelve-grade lotus platforms!
They were the Twelve-Grade Green Lotus of Creation, Twelve-Grade Purple Lotus of Reincarnation, Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, Twelve-Grade Purple Lotus of Karmic Fire, Twelve-Grade White Lotus of Purity, and Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!
These six lotus platforms were no ordinary spiritual treasures; they were all among the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, with unfathomable power!
The Twelve-Grade Purple Lotus of Reincarnation was especially so. After all, besides its grade, it would play a significant role when Houtu established Samsara!
Simply put, after obtaining the Twelve-Grade Purple Lotus of Reincarnation, Jiang Chen could passively earn a wave of Merit when Houtu's Samsara Transformation occurred in the future!
With this thought, Jiang Chen was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to find such a treasure in Dong Wang Gong's vault!
He then hesitated no longer, waving his hand to collect the Immortal Peach Tree and the Twelve-Grade Purple Lotus of Reincarnation. As for the other low-level spiritual herbs and heavenly treasures, he didn't let any of them go, taking them all!
After doing all this, he then disappeared from the treasure vault.
However, not long after Jiang Chen left, Di Jun and others suddenly appeared here.
Since the great battle had ended, the heavily wounded Witch Race knew they couldn't destroy the Demon Race and could only retreat in anger.
