Primordial: Starting by Scheming Against Nuwa!

Among all innate spiritual roots, the Innate Gourd Vine was a rather special existence.

When the other Chaos Demon Gods were beaten back into their original forms, their Primordial Spirit True Spirits were erased—but his remained intact.

The only one in a similar situation to the Innate Gourd Vine was Ancestor Yang Mei.

However, Ancestor Yang Mei had chosen the right path to enlightenment and ultimately succeeded, while the Innate Gourd Vine was chopped into pieces.

"Innate Gourd Vine, This Great God is giving you a choice right now: obediently come with me, or don't blame me for pulling you out by the roots."

After Bai Chen exposed the Innate Gourd Vine's true nature, he stated his demand.

It would be best if the other party knew what was good for him; if not, Bai Chen wouldn't mind putting on a show—the Great God Bai Chen uprooting the gourd vine.

"Since you know This Seat's background, do you really think you can do anything to me?"

"Don't forget, you're nothing but a mere Innate Divine Beast!"

Bai Chen's threat enraged the Innate Gourd Vine.

What kind of existence was he, the Innate Gourd Vine? Even if he had fallen on hard times, he wasn't something a mere Innate Divine Beast could bully.

"Innate Gourd Vine, you're not giving This Great God face, are you?"

"Then This Great God will have to reason with you!"

Bai Chen pulled out a large hammer. On it were two characters, written in Innate Dao Script: 'Reason'!

That's right, this hammer was Bai Chen's reason.

This hammer was a Houtian Supreme Treasure personally forged for Bai Chen by Yuan Feng in her early years, its power enough to rival a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The characters 'Reason' were inscribed by Bai Chen himself, and the hammer was named the 'Hammer of Reason'.

Though spiritual treasures were divided into innate and houtian, the latter was not necessarily inferior to the former.

Innate spiritual treasures were born before the primordial chaos, while houtian spiritual treasures were forged by later hands.

The greatest difference between innate and houtian spiritual treasures was that one possessed an Innate Origin, and the other did not!

Bai Chen raised the Hammer of Reason and fiercely struck at the Innate Gourd Vine, the power truly terrifying.

Though the Innate Gourd Vine had not taken human form, it swung one of its vines, unleashing a divine ability that caught Bai Chen's hammer blow.

The Innate Gourd Vine swung another vine, and a divine light sent Bai Chen flying back.

"Your strength is too weak. You are no match for This Seat."

"This Seat will spare you today. Leave now!"

The Innate Gourd Vine chose to let Bai Chen go, because this was Buzhou Mountain, formed from the spine of the great god Pangu.

Moreover, when the seal had been broken earlier, he had sensed Pangu's All-Heaven Divine Power and Heaven-Opening Merit Power.

This forced him to hold back, choosing to let Bai Chen leave.

"Innate Gourd Vine, since This Great God can't beat you, then This Great God will find some help to kill you."

Bai Chen issued a harsh threat while sending a voice transmission out of the secret realm, shouting loudly:

"Xuanming, Houtu, come help quickly! This Great God is being bullied—I'm about to die!"

Calling for backup when you can't win wasn't shameful; what was shameful was calling and no one coming.

The moment Bai Chen's words fell, the Law of Earth formed a barrier to protect him, while the Law of Ice transformed into ten thousand ice arrows, raining down on the Innate Gourd Vine in a volley.

"This is Pangu's Law power!"

The Innate Gourd Vine was greatly alarmed and hurriedly used his Dao techniques and divine abilities to defend.

Xuanming and Houtu arrived at Bai Chen's side. Xuanming reached out and pinched the flesh on Bai Chen's face, taunting him:

"Lazy cat, you can't even beat a single innate spiritual root—what a waste!"

Xuanming thought that if Bai Chen slept a little less, he wouldn't be this useless.

This lazy cat had even tried to drive the two sisters away earlier. Lucky for him they hadn't left and had waited outside the secret realm.

If they had left, who knew how badly this lazy cat would have been beaten by the other party.

"Little White, you need to cultivate diligently and work hard."

Houtu picked Bai Chen up. She felt that Bai Chen really couldn't afford to be lazy anymore.

"Xuanming, Houtu, it's not that This Great God is weak—it's that this Innate Gourd Vine is too strong."

"He's a Chaos Demon God who didn't die cleanly. It's perfectly normal that This Great God can't beat him!"

Bai Chen refused to admit he was weak; it was just that the enemy was too strong!

"You are a Chaos Demon God!"

After Xuanming and Houtu learned the Innate Gourd Vine's identity, their eyes turned cold.

In the inherited memories of the two sisters, the Chaos Demon Gods were enemies of their Father God, Pangu.

If it hadn't been for the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods draining part of their Father God Pangu's power, he would not have fallen.

"What is your relationship with Pangu? Why do you possess his Law power and Heaven-Opening Merit Power?"

The Innate Gourd Vine saw at a glance that Xuanming and Houtu were different, because the two sisters possessed a power that made it tremble with fear.

That was the power of the great god Pangu!

The Innate Gourd Vine still remembered clearly how, back then, that very being had crippled its Primordial Fruit Status with a single axe blow, smashing it back to its original form.

Although the Law of Pangu's power on Xuanming and Houtu was not strong, the psychological shadow caused the Innate Gourd Vine to begin feeling afraid.

"We are the Twelve Ancestor Witches of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, and our Father God is Pangu!"

As Xuanming's words fell, she took out the Witchcraft Artifact, the Ice Bow.

Although the Ancestor Witches had no Primordial Spirit and could not unleash the full might of spiritual treasures, they possessed their own inheritance, and the Witchcraft Artifacts were part of that inheritance.

The power of a Witchcraft Artifact was not inferior to that of a spiritual treasure, but it also had a characteristic—only a witch could use it.

Xuanming used the Law of Ice as an arrow, drew the Ice Bow to a full crescent, and loosed a single shot.

The Law of Ice transformed into a raging storm, charging toward the Innate Gourd Vine to kill it.

Since this was a mess that her Father God Pangu had failed to clean up, then she, Xuanming, as his daughter, had to tidy it up for him.

"If it were Pangu's True Body, This Seat would not dare to oppose you!

But you, a mere Pangu Descendant, truly think This Seat fears you?!"

The Innate Gourd Vine was also furious. Pangu, that father, had crippled its Primordial Fruit Status and reduced it to this state.

And now Xuanming, the daughter, was still trying to destroy it. This father-daughter pair was going too far!

The Innate Gourd Vine was enraged. It thought to itself, with its status, if it couldn't beat Pangu, how could it possibly fail to defeat his daughter?

The Innate Gourd Vine used its vines as arms, unleashing several divine abilities to meet Xuanming in battle.

And Houtu was not to be outdone; she joined Bai Chen in attacking the Innate Gourd Vine to assist Xuanming.

Today, the three of them—one human and two witches—would fight side by side and suppress this Innate Gourd Vine together.

Chapter 14: The Gourd Vine Begs for Mercy!

Bai Chen and the others fought three against one. The strongest, Xuanming, took the lead in the attack; Houtu was responsible for feints; and Bai Chen, the weakest, could only provide support.

Although the Innate Gourd Vine was a Chaos Demon God that had not completely died, it had several fatal flaws.

First, it had not chosen to take human form, instead rooting itself in its original body at Buzhou Mountain to absorb the mountain's power.

Thus, it could not move and was stuck in place.

Second, the Innate Gourd Vine had been psychologically scarred by the great god Pangu's axe blow back then.

Although it outwardly claimed not to fear Xuanming and Houtu, it was still somewhat uneasy inside.

Even with its reservations, the Innate Gourd Vine was still formidable. Even Bai Chen and the others, fighting three against one, could not gain the upper hand.

After all, the Innate Gourd Vine was, at the very least, a Chaos Demon God that had not fully perished.

If it could be easily slaughtered, that would truly be abnormal.

Just as Bai Chen and the others were engaging the Innate Gourd Vine, the Ancestor Witches, who were cultivating in Pangu Hall, suddenly opened their eyes and stopped their training.

The Ancestor Witches turned their gazes toward the secret realm where Bai Chen and the others were, clearly sensing something.

"Elder Brother, I have detected the Law power of our two younger sisters, Xuanming and Houtu. They should be fighting an enemy right now," reported Ancestor Witch Gou Mang to Ancestor Witch Dijiang.

"It must be those two, Fuxi and Nuwa!"

"That brother and sister dare to lay hands on Xuanming and Houtu? They cannot be allowed to live!"

Gonggong and Zhurong, the two brothers, chimed in one after another, directly pinning the blame on Fuxi and Nuwa.

After all, there were only two groups of beings on Buzhou Mountain—their group of Ancestor Witches, and Fuxi and Nuwa's group.

As for Bai Chen, Gonggong and Zhurong directly ruled him out as a suspect.

Because Bai Chen was far too weak; there was no way he could fight Xuanming and Houtu.

With Bai Chen eliminated, only Fuxi and Nuwa remained. Otherwise, could it be that the sisters Xuanming and Houtu were harming each other?

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

As soon as Gonggong and Zhurong spoke up, many of the other Ancestor Witches immediately chimed in agreement.

The Ancestor Witches had long been displeased with the brother and sister Fuxi and Nuwa, and they all voiced their opinions.

Ancestor Witch Dijiang raised his hand, and the Space Law shattered the void, leading the other Ancestor Witches out of Pangu Hall.

Because the secret realm's restrictions had been broken by Bai Chen, Xuanming, and Houtu, the spatial order there was now no different from the outside world.

As space cracked open, Ancestor Witch Dijiang led the other Ancestor Witches to the scene.

The Ancestor Witches looked at the scene before them and were instantly struck with awkwardness.
