"Tai Yi, calm your qi and blood first. Leave the rest to me!" Di Jun entered the array core and took control of the Myriad Stars Array.
"Activate!"
With Di Jun's roar, the three hundred sixty-five Primordial Stars manifested by the Myriad Stars Array came crashing down, slamming toward Pangu's True Body on the ground.
Pangu's True Body stood there with a giant ax in hand, utterly unmoved in the face of the stars filling the sky.
Pangu's True Body let out an angry roar, bent his legs, and leaped into the air. He raised the giant ax in his hands and charged straight at them.
With each swing of his ax, several Primordial Stars shattered. He had only one goal: to kill his way into the Myriad Stars Array and cleave Di Jun in two!
As one Primordial Star after another shattered, the Myriad Stars Array gradually dimmed.
"Break!"
Pangu's True Body brought his ax down on the Myriad Stars Array. A thunderous explosion rang out, its sound echoing beneath Mount Buzhou for a long time without fading.
Di Jun, inside the array, suffered severe injuries and spat out blood. Yet his eyes remained resolute as his hands rapidly formed seals, trying to stabilize the array once more.
But Pangu's True Body gave him no chance. Another ax descended, and this time it cleaved a massive crack through the array. Countless demon gods perished, plunging down to the ground.
Xing Tian, Kuafu, and the other great shamans seized the opportunity to infiltrate the battlefield and dragged those premium ingredients back to the Witch Clan~
Pangu's True Body intended to press the advantage. Just as he swung his ax, preparing to finish off Di Jun, a golden streak of light instantly pulled Di Jun away. It was Tai Yi, who had used the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow technique.
"Tai Yi, there are still some deficiencies in our array. Once we make up for them, it will be the day the Witch Clan is annihilated!"
Seeing that even their leader had fled, the Demon Army fell into chaos. The Witch warriors on the ground pursued them, taking advantage of the momentum. For a time, blood fell like rain, and the entire area beneath Mount Buzhou transformed into a sea of blood.
"Roar!!!"
Pangu's True Body looked at the defeated Demon Army and raised his giant ax with a roar. Then he suddenly disintegrated, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches tumbled down from the sky in disarray.
After this great battle, both sides suffered heavy losses. Di Jun and Tai Yi retreated deep into the Demon Court to heal, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches entered Pangu Temple and went into seclusion once more.
Halfway up Mount Buzhou,
there was a daoist retreat shrouded in immortal aura.
Fuxi stood beside the sea of clouds, gazing at the battlefield below, which looked like purgatory, and let out a long sigh.
"Big Brother, what on earth is going on outside?"
"Why was there such a commotion?"
Nuwa's willow brows rose sharply. She had just been in seclusion, seeking her path to sainthood. She was now only one step away from becoming a saint, but she could not figure out where to take that final step...
"The Witch Clan and Demon Clan went to war. It's truly tragic—so many living beings have suffered!"
Great God Fuxi was kindhearted, but even he could not interfere in a battle of such scale...
Upon hearing this, Nuwa knitted her brows tightly. "What does the struggle between the Witch and Demon Clans have to do with us? We are Innate Divine Beings. There's no need for us to get involved."
Fuxi nodded in agreement. "You're right, Little Sister. It's just that the Witch and Demon Clans have been harboring grievances for a long time. I'm afraid they'll find it difficult to resolve them."
"Big Brother, the Dao Ancestor will handle it. You don't need to worry about such matters~"
Nuwa stretched lazily. She was tired from comprehending the Dao and decided to return for a good, long sleep~~
"Where is this place?"
"Why is it surrounded by clouds and mist~"
Shi Yu arrived at the peak of a towering mountain that pierced the clouds and was filled with dense spiritual energy. A sea of clouds stretched out before him.
"Grand-disciple, this is my retreat from before I attained the Dao. It's called White Jade Capital!" Old Ancestor Hongjun quietly appeared in front of Shi Yu.
"Wasn't I on Kunlun Mountain?"
"How did I end up here?" Shi Yu asked in confusion.
"Hahahaha, you are indeed on Kunlun Mountain. It's just that this is your dream!"
"Grand Martial Uncle has something to discuss with you!"
"Grand Martial Uncle knows you have many doubts. A trip to Taiyin Star will resolve the doubts in your heart!" Hongjun said with a faint smile.
"No, I don't. I'm not confused at all! What could I possibly be confused about, Grand Martial Uncle?"
Shi Yu's words caused the smile on Hongjun's face to stiffen. Then he said in a deep voice:
"If Grand Martial Uncle says there are doubts, then there are doubts!"
"Grand-disciple will heed Grand Martial Uncle's teachings!"
There was nothing he could do. Who told the other man to be his Grand Martial Uncle? He was only a grand-disciple...
Not long afterward, Shi Yu awoke. He could not stop thinking about Old Ancestor Hongjun's words. What could I possibly be confused about? In the end, he still decided to travel to Taiyin Star and investigate.
Within the Demon Court,
"Tai Yi, I never expected the Witch Clan to possess such a terrifying array. It can actually summon Pangu's True Body..." Even now, waves of pain still pulsed through Di Jun's chest.
"Big Brother, could it be that our Myriad Stars Array truly cannot contend with their array?"
Tai Yi's face was somewhat pale. He had just burned his Essence Blood to gain extreme speed and save Di Jun.
"It can. But we must obtain the essences of three hundred sixty-five Primordial Stars and refine them into three hundred sixty-five Star Banners. Only then can the Myriad Stars Array display its maximum power. It may not be unable to fight the Witch Clan's Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array!"
Di Jun had long since calculated how to bring out the Myriad Stars Array's maximum power. He simply had not had the opportunity to do so because of the Demon Clan's countless affairs.
"Tai Yi, come with me to Taiyin Star. The sun and Taiyin are the two most important Primordial Stars. We cannot afford to neglect them!"
Thus, the two of them used the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow technique and flew toward Taiyin Star to obtain the Essence of Taiyin Star and refine the Star Banners.
On Taiyin Star,
a thousand-zhang cassia tree stood tall. It was the Companion Spirit Root of Taiyin Star and contained an abundance of the Power of Taiyin Origin.
Beneath the cassia tree stood a cold and quiet palace. The words "Guanghan Palace" were written on its gate in dao script.
A faint silver mist permeated the area around the palace. Inside, Moon Blossom Lotus bloomed year-round, while winding paths and straight wooden bridges connected the pavilions and towers.
"Tai Yi of the Demon Clan!"
"Di Jun of the Demon Clan!"
"We have come to request the Essence of Taiyin Star!"
After exchanging a glance, Di Jun and Tai Yi bowed together toward Guanghan Palace.
"Please bestow the Essence of Taiyin Star upon us, senior!"
"..."
The air suddenly fell utterly silent...
"Aren't you Eastern Emperor and Demon Emperor?"
"What a coincidence!"
A familiar voice rang in Di Jun and Tai Yi's ears. It was Shi Yu. After going through enormous trouble to reach Taiyin Star, he had just landed when he saw Di Jun and Tai Yi there.
