The Great Battle Concludes!

Above the Underworld.

Hongjun had no choice but to seek peace now, let alone the fact that continuing the fight would yield no result.

Because the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao were already evenly matched!

If they were to force a victor, the Primordial World itself might vanish!

Between heaven and earth, if the conflict truly escalated into a desperate struggle, there would no longer be a Primordial World.

Hearing that Hongjun had been forced to seek peace and acknowledge the Earthly Dao, Houtu showed no particular joy.

This outcome was well within his expectations.

With its increased power, the Earthly Dao could now completely withstand the Heavenly Dao.

Because of this, he no longer feared Hongjun at all.

Even though he didn't fear Hongjun, he couldn't do anything to Hongjun at the moment, after all, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao were already inseparable.

Therefore, the two of them had no intention of fighting again.

RUMBLE!

At this very moment, within Houtu's mind, the Earthly Dao transmitted an image, an image that was enough to ignite his boundless rage!

In this image, his kin were being mercilessly slaughtered by a Taoist priest, who then calmly departed!

This Taoist priest looked like someone from the Heavenly Origin Sect!

"How dare you lay your butcher's knife upon my Witch Clan!"

"You court death!"

"Die!"

Houtu instantly located the Taoist priest and roared.

Before the Taoist priest could utter a single word, he was engulfed by Houtu's boundless rage, his existence annihilated.

Houtu did not let him off easily. A dark yellow power directly enveloped the Taoist priest's Primordial Spirit, and he performed a soul-searching technique, instantly learning the priest's origin: he was from the Heavenly Origin Sect!

At this moment, after the Taoist priest died, a spiritual light flew into the void and entered the Heavenly Origin Sect's position on the Investiture of the Gods.

"Hmm?"

"Confirmed, he is from the Heavenly Origin Sect!"

At this moment, Houtu's eyes burned with rage that spread to his cheeks!

From the other's memories, he already knew he was from the Heavenly Origin Sect, and the Investiture of the Gods had confirmed it once more!

"Bastard!"

"You dare kill my Heavenly Origin Sect disciple?!"

Yuanshi had not dared to intervene earlier and was quietly healing his wounds.

But who knew that he suddenly felt one of his Heavenly Origin Sect disciples being directly annihilated by Houtu and entering the Investiture of the Gods.

Everything was going smoothly, but Houtu had caused his Heavenly Origin Sect to follow in the footsteps of the Western Teachings.

Thus, Yuanshi's rage was ignited once more!

"Stop your baseless shouting!"

"Your Heavenly Origin Sect disciple went and slaughtered my Witch Clan!"

"I haven't even decided how to deal with you yet!"

His eyes filled with fury, he condensed a dark yellow light from the Earthly Dao and slammed it directly into Yuanshi's face.

BOOM!

Yuanshi was sent flying for a hundred thousand miles. When he stopped, his face was so swollen he couldn't even open his eyes. He lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Seeing this, Hongjun's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could even intercept, Yuanshi had already been defeated.

"You dare to humiliate me like this?"

Just as a tree needs its bark and a person needs their face, Yuanshi's face had just been slapped severely, swollen beyond recognition.

At this moment, Yuanshi's lips were bleeding from biting them, his white beard trembled uncontrollably, and his entire body shook. His eyes stared fiercely at Houtu!

This was the first time Yuanshi had been slapped in the face!

In front of so many people, he had been slapped!

This would be a stain on his life!

It was a disgrace etched upon him!

"Hmph! Watch your Heavenly Origin Sect dog!"

"If any more of your Heavenly Origin Sect dare to run wild in my Witch Clan, then you, better dig a hole and prepare to bury yourself!"

Houtu said to Yuanshi with overwhelming killing intent.

The Witch Clan already had pitifully few members, and now they had been slaughtered by the Heavenly Origin Sect. How could he possibly endure this?

In the past, he had been powerless and unable to act for the Witch Clan, but things were different now. He had the full ability to protect the Witch Clan!

If anyone dared to touch his Witch Clan again, it would be like plucking a beard from a tiger's face – seeking death!

Yuanshi's rage lingered for a long time, but seeing Houtu's face filled with murderous intent, he could do nothing.

If he dared to make a move against Houtu again, he would surely be tired of living.

He could only forcefully swallow his anger.

"Houtu, do not act recklessly!"

"Otherwise, even if it means sacrificing this Primordial World, I will not let you off!"

Hongjun stared at Houtu as he spoke, then vanished directly.

Above the void of the Underworld, the will of the Heavenly Dao could only leave reluctantly.

It no longer had the ability to suppress the Earthly Dao.

Moreover, it could only watch as the Earthly Dao became its equal.

Yuanshi cast a resentful glance at Houtu, then fiercely waved his sleeve and returned directly to Kunlun Mountain.

Even though Kunlun Mountain had been razed to the ground, Yuanshi could still use his Saintly means to restore it to its original state.

First, Yuanshi used his spiritual energy to smooth his swollen face, then formed hand seals and directly transformed Kunlun Mountain back to its original appearance.

After finishing, he did not delay for a moment and entered Yuxu Palace directly.

"Insignificant Houtu!"

"In this life and for all eternity, I will not rest until you are dead!"

Yuanshi roared with furious resentment.

Seeing Kunlun restored to its original state, the disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect returned to their respective residences.

At this very moment, as the disciples had just sat down, the enraged and unwilling voice of their master spread out.

Along with the spreading voice, a terrifying Saintly might also spread.

The disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect were all greatly alarmed.

They had never seen their master in such a state of disarray.

One by one, they retreated far from Yuxu Palace, fearing they might accidentally be caught in the flames of his anger...

Tongtian was still hidden in space. After everyone had left, he went directly to Golden Ao Island.

Houtu currently needed to focus on stabilizing her cultivation, so it was not suitable for Tongtian to see her right now, for fear of being targeted.

His alliance with Houtu was not public knowledge and certainly could not be discovered by other Saints.

At this moment, Tongtian had already entered Biyou Palace.

He wanted to continue his seclusion. He had witnessed the battle between Hongjun and Houtu.

The stronger Houtu became, the better it was for Tongtian.

However, unless it was a critical moment, he could not easily ask for Houtu's help. He needed to keep a trump card, otherwise, he would now be facing Hongjun's pressure.

Currently, Tongtian was still far from being Hongjun's match.

Tongtian pulled his thoughts back and looked at the newly acquired treasures in his Purple Mansion.

One of them was the Primordial Creation Spring, with only seven drops. However, if he refined it into his body, Tongtian was confident that he could advance by a minor realm.

One must know that even a minor realm advancement for a Saint required an astronomical amount of spiritual energy, which showed how potent the Creation Spring was!
