Zhunti's Mind Collapses

While two true powerhouses were chatting in the System Space, Zhunti and Xuanming's battle had already entered a white-hot stage.

Zhunti directly manifested his Golden Body, a Buddha with twenty-four heads and eighteen arms wielding various weapons, striking at Xuanming. Xuanming didn't panic either, casually freezing two masses of profound ice to cover her hands and engaging Zhunti's Golden Body.

Xuanming and Zhunti engaged in a fierce battle. Zhunti's Golden Body wielded various weapons, while Xuanming relied on her powerful Ice Element Ability. The collision of their powers triggered earth-shattering explosions.

Xuanming let out a cold laugh, a glint of cunning flashing in her eyes. She unleashed her ultimate move, condensing two massive balls of profound ice, their surfaces studded with sharp ice spikes. With a flick of her fingers, the two profound ice masses shot towards Zhunti's Golden Body at high speed.

Although Zhunti's Golden Body was incredibly tough, Xuanming's profound ice was exceptionally sharp. A piercing friction sound erupted as the profound ice collided with the Golden Body, the ice spikes digging fiercely into its surface.

Zhunti sensed danger and roared, transforming into countless figures that lunged at Xuanming simultaneously. But Xuanming was prepared. She sneered, the profound ice in her hands vibrating violently as the ice spikes shot out like projectiles.

The dazzling ice spikes rained down like a storm, and Zhunti's Golden Body couldn't completely evade them. One by one, the ice spikes pierced through the Golden Body's defenses, and Xuanming's attacks became even more ferocious.

Zhunti's Golden Body began to show damage, with several heads being blown apart by Xuanming. However, Zhunti did not retreat. He roared, and his Golden Body emitted a brilliant golden light, growing even more powerful.

Xuanming's brow furrowed slightly. She knew she couldn't continue this prolonged struggle. She decided to unleash her final ultimate move, concentrating all her strength to defeat Zhunti in one decisive blow.

Seeing Xuanming's actions, Zhunti couldn't help but become vigilant. He knew Xuanming's ultimate move was extremely terrifying and not to be underestimated.

Just as both sides were preparing for the final decisive battle, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed through heaven and earth. Everyone looked up and saw a massive rift appear in the sky, from which a powerful aura emanated.

A solemn voice boomed across the land: "Stop! This battle is over!" The voice carried an undeniable authority, causing Xuanming and Zhunti to immediately cease their fighting. It turned out to be Hongjun from Purple Cloud Palace. Hongjun said coldly, "I have said that no major battles are allowed on the Primordial World's land for ten eons. Buzhou Mountain is the Heavenly Pillar; is this a place for you to fight?"

After a moment of contemplation, he added, "Jumang, that Bodhi Tree is ultimately Zhunti's foundation. You should return it to him."

Jumang was displeased. "Return it to him? Why? He wronged me by smashing my Mount Sumeru Dojo and uprooting my Bodhi Tree. I haven't settled the score with him yet."

Zhunti pointed at the Bodhi Tree in Jumang's hand. "You were caught red-handed, and you still deny it? You say you didn't uproot my Bodhi Tree, then what is that in your hand?"

Jumang was speechless. "Uh... I picked this up when I went out. Really."

Zhunti's face contorted in distress. "Dao Ancestor, please uphold justice for me... This guy uprooted my Bodhi Tree's Spiritual Root, demolished my Mount Sumeru Dojo, and then claims he picked it up while going out? You must have picked it up on a long journey?"

At this moment, Dijiang, with his fiery temper, solidified the matter. "Regardless of whether my second brother took it or not, this Primordial World was created by the Father God. Everything belongs to my Witch Clan, so what if we uprooted your tree?"

Zhunti wailed, "Dao Ancestor, your Witch Clan is too overbearing... You must teach them a lesson."

Hongjun shook his head and communicated with the Heavenly Dao: "Was this Bodhi Tree uprooted by the Witch Clan?"

The Heavenly Dao's wheel spun once and replied, "No, it's been obscured. To conceal Heavenly Secrets, one needs either a Chaos Demon God, Pangu's Heart, or the seeds of the Earthly Dao or Human Dao. Hmm, it should be the Witch Clan." (Dijiang: Heavenly Dao, you idiot... It was Zhenyuanzi's Earth Book and the Earth's Membrane that obscured the Heavenly Secrets.)

Hongjun came back to his senses and said, "I just performed a deduction. It seems there's a bloodline with the same origin as a Demon God, protected by Earth Veins. You should admit it. Pangu Hall concealed the Heavenly Secrets, formed from Pangu's Essence Blood of the Demon God of Strength. You still won't admit it?"

Dijiang directly chimed in, "That's right, it was our Witch Clan. As the Orthodox Descendant of Pangu, we are not subject to the Heavenly Dao." He then took the Twelve Ancestral Witches and teleported back to Pangu Hall, saying, "We've already uprooted it, and we don't intend to return it. If you have the guts, come and smash Pangu Hall to take it."

Hongjun was dumbfounded and thought, "Ugh... It seems admitting it is useless... The Witch Clan is already at a disadvantage against the Demon Race. If we injure them further, the Witch-Demon Calamity will be completely thrown into chaos."

Then, Hongjun looked at Zhunti and said, "Ugh, can you stop crying? Do you cry every time something happens? The Witch Clan is currently in the midst of a calamity. Uprooting the Bodhi Tree is also a karmic entanglement..." He then transmitted a message to Zhunti, "It was probably because you impersonated Bi Fang last time and tricked Jumang and the others into going against the Green Lion Clan, and Zhu Jiuyin saw it from the River of Time and came looking for trouble with you. Let's leave it at that. If this is revealed, it won't look good for you either."

Hearing this, Zhunti returned to Mount Sumeru with a helpless expression. "Senior Brother, the case is solved. It was Jumang of the Witch Clan. The Dao Ancestor didn't side with us and didn't help me get the Bodhi Tree back. What should we do..."

Jieyin's face turned bitter. "The Dao Ancestor isn't intervening, do you expect to get it back yourself? Forget it. Calm down and wait for the opportunity, when the Witch Clan and the Demon Race are fully engaged in war."

Zhunti nodded fiercely. "I heard that the Demon Race's Dijun has ten sons. I'll find a way to trick one of them down to the mortal realm for the Witch Clan to kill. As long as a Crown Prince dies, the Witch and Demon races will surely go to war."
