Peak Showdown

With every step the Ancestor Witches took, the very earth trembled.

At the same time, the Demon Emperor Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi on the opposing side were not to be outdone.

Hum!

Eastern Emperor Taiyi activated the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell, and launched continuous attacks against the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

However, although it was an Innate Supreme Treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell was not adept at offense, but rather at defense.

Thus, its repeated bombardments against the Twelve Ancestor Witches were all sent flying by punches from Ancestor Witches like Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Gonggong, and Zhurong, who had reached the early Quasi-Saint stage.

But even so, the other Ancestor Witches at the peak Grand Unity realm, who had not yet reached the Quasi-Saint realm, dared not directly confront the Eastern Emperor Bell.

The fact that it could make Ancestor Witches at the peak Grand Unity realm unwilling to resist with their physical bodies showed that, even if the Eastern Emperor Bell was not skilled in offense, it was worthy of its name as a Supreme Treasure.

On the other side, the Demon Emperor Dijun was also fighting with great fervor.

He was locked in combat with the Ancestor Witch Zhurong.

Zhurong was also at the early Quasi-Saint realm, just like the Demon Emperor Dijun. However, Zhurong, who excelled in physical combat, was currently at a slight disadvantage.

"As expected of the Demon Emperor, his combat power is terrifying!"

Seeing this scene, the Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin thought to himself.

It was impossible for an ordinary early Quasi-Saint to defeat an Ancestor Witch of the same realm.

One must know that the Witch Clan were naturally warlike and skilled in battle, a race born to fight against heaven and earth.

Among those of the same realm, the Witch Clan were the strongest.

Immediately after, the Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin also joined the battle against the Demon Emperor Dijun.

With two early Quasi-Saint Ancestor Witches fighting against the Demon Emperor Dijun, he immediately appeared somewhat overwhelmed.

Similarly, the Demon Master Kunpeng and the Demon King Fuxi were also surrounded by two or more Ancestor Witches.

They were not as powerful as the Demon Emperor Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Under the attacks of the Ancestor Witches, they were already in a sorry state, and could even be defeated at any moment.

"Second Brother, let's set up the array!"

At this moment, seeing their disadvantage, the Demon Emperor Dijun looked at Eastern Emperor Taiyi and shouted.

Their trump card for coming to the Witch Clan this time was not just the Eastern Emperor Bell in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's hand.

But rather... the Star Array of the Heavens.

Once the Star Array of the Heavens was deployed, the Demon Clan could absolutely turn the tide, and even achieve an overwhelming victory, slaughtering the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

"Alright, Big Brother!"

Hearing Dijun's words, Eastern Emperor Taiyi nodded.

Immediately, Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Fuxi began to gather.

After all, it would take a certain amount of time for Eastern Emperor Taiyi to activate the Star Array of the Heavens, and he could not be disturbed.

During this time, Dijun, Kunpeng, and Fuxi had to protect him.

Of course, Eastern Emperor Taiyi would also deploy the Eastern Emperor Bell to protect himself.

With Eastern Emperor Taiyi's current level of refinement of the Eastern Emperor Bell, once its defense was activated, the Twelve Ancestor Witches would absolutely be unable to break through with their physical bodies.

"Deploy!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi roared, and two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures flew out from his hands.

They were the River Diagram and the Luo Shu.

As the River Diagram and Luo Shu, the core of the Star Array of the Heavens, were deployed, all the stars in the starry sky began to move slowly.

The three hundred and sixty-five main stars began to revolve around the Solar Star and the Lunar Star.

The remaining fourteen thousand eight hundred smaller stars also moved along a specific trajectory, guided by the main stars.

"Big Brother, these demons are deploying an array!"

Seeing this scene, a hint of solemnity flashed in Zhu Jiuyin's eyes.

"It looks like their array is quite powerful!"

Gonggong also said with some worry.

The power of the stars in the heavens was being drawn by the entire array; one could imagine how vast this power was.

"What's there to fear! We have an array too!"

The Ancestor Witch Dijiang shouted, and then said again, "Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array, deploy!"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

"Deploy the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array!"

At this moment, the Twelve Ancestor Witches all unleashed the Pangu's Essence Blood within their bodies, and terrifying, boundless malevolent energy emanated from them.

The Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array was inherited from the Great God Pangu.

It cannot be activated unless the Twelve Ancestral Witches gather.

Once summoned, it can manifest the true form of Pangu, with power reaching the Saint level.

Rumble!

As the Twelve Ancestral Witches activated the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array, a phantom holding the Pangu Axe slowly solidified.

"What, what kind of formation is this? It's so terrifying!"

"Could this be the Great God Pangu?"

Seeing the terrifying phantom, Dijun and Taiyi were stunned.

They originally thought the Witch Clan had no backup, but they didn't expect the Twelve Ancestral Witches to be able to unleash such a fearsome formation.

However...

The two were only surprised for a moment.

They then realized that the phantom condensed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches was far inferior to the Great God Pangu.

The Great God Pangu was the supreme being who created the Great Desolation.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches could truly summon the Great God Pangu, their Demon Clan wouldn't have to fight; they would surrender immediately.

"Star Array of the Heavens! Rise!"

At the same time, Eastern Emperor Taiyi also activated the Star Array of the Heavens and roared, attacking the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Similarly, the giant true form of Pangu, wielding a colossal axe, swung towards the Star Array of the Heavens.

Rumble!

For a time, the sounds of endless terrifying combat spread throughout the Great Desolation.

The void above the Witch Clan was torn apart time and again.

The battle between the two sides was at a stalemate, almost shattering the entire Great Desolation.

At this moment, on the Lunar Star.

Hongyun naturally sensed countless stars circling the Lunar Star.

"So this is the Star Array of the Heavens!"

Hongyun thought to himself.

He knew that the Star Array of the Heavens was centered around the Solar Star and the Lunar Star.

With countless stars now circling the Lunar Star, there must also be countless stars circling the Solar Star.

However...

"Two Goddesses, would you like to witness the might of my archery again?"

Hongyun raised his wine cup, took a drink, and said to the two Lunar Goddesses.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, that would be wonderful! We really want to see, really want to see!"

Changxi said, clapping her hands excitedly upon hearing Hongyun's words.

"I want to see too, but our Lunar Star can't withstand your divine arrows!"

Xihe said with some concern, though her eyes couldn't hide her longing to watch.

After all, the masculine aura that Hongyun displayed when he shot his arrows was incredibly captivating to the two Lunar Goddesses.

"Two Goddesses, please don't worry. This time, I will shoot at the Solar Star!"

Hongyun said calmly.

"Wonderful! Fellow Daoist Hongyun, quickly show us your divine archery skills!"

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, your archery is so powerful, I could watch it a hundred or ten thousand times and still not get enough!"

The two Lunar Goddesses laughed.

As long as it wasn't aimed at their Lunar Star, and they could watch Hongyun shoot, it was simply a pleasure for Changxi and Xihe.

Soon, the three arrived outside the Guanghan Palace.

Standing on the Lunar Star, Hongyun focused his vision.

He saw countless stars revolving in the entire Great Desolation sky, just as he had imagined.

"As long as I can draw the spiritual energy from the Solar Star and disrupt the normal operation of the Star Array of the Heavens, then the Demon Emperor Dijun and the others will surely be beaten soundly by the Twelve Ancestral Witches!"

Hongyun thought to himself.

In this way, he would have played a trick on the Demon Clan.

However, he also knew that this was only the second battle between the Witches and Demons; the Demon Clan's annihilation was impossible.

If things got too bad, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would likely intervene.

After all, Hongjun was now the Spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, and according to the will of the Heavenly Dao, it was impossible for one of the clans to be wiped out at this time.

It was instead waiting for the third great war between the Witch and Demon Clans, when both races would perish simultaneously.

Swish!

Hongyun took out the Golden Bow and Arrow.

Then, the aura around his body suddenly erupted, and the Mythical Great Sky Archery Technique was unleashed.

The muscles on his arms bulged, instantly doubling in size.

"Such powerful masculine energy!"

"This is a true man!"

Xihe and Changxi saw this, and stars flashed in their eyes.

They were both Lunar Goddesses, born from the nurturing of Yin energy.

Instinctively, they yearned for masculine energy.

Once Yin and Yang merged, conforming to the Way of Heaven and Earth, it would allow them to comprehend the supreme true Way.

However, Hongyun ignored the two women exclaiming behind him.

Instead, he nocked an arrow onto the golden divine bow and shot it.

Whoosh!

With this arrow, Hongyun pulled the golden divine bow to its limit, unleashing the full power of this top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

At the same time, he perfectly executed the Mythical Great Sky Archery Technique.

Instantly, the golden arrow, like a dazzling beam of light, streaked across the starry sky, forming a flawless line as it shot towards the Solar Star.

On the land of the Witch Clan.

The true form of Pangu, conjured by the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array, was locked in an intense battle with Dijun, Taiyi, and others empowered by the Star Array of the Heavens.

"Hahaha, Twelve Ancestor Witches, your Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array may be powerful, but it's still no match for my Star Array of the Heavens!"

Dijun looked at the Twelve Ancestor Witches, excitement flashing in his eyes.

The Star Array of the Heavens truly lived up to its name, a formation created by Eastern Emperor Taiyi after contemplating the entire Great Desolation starry sky. It was incredibly powerful.

Currently, the true form of Pangu was focusing more on defense than attack.

In fact, the true form of Pangu had been forced to retreat step by step in the battle.

"Twelve Ancestor Witches, today my Demon Clan will flatten the Witch Clan! Your corpses will become the foundation for my Demon Clan's dominance over the Great Desolation!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi also declared loudly, his tone filled with unrestrained arrogance.

"Damn it!"

Hearing Dijun and Taiyi's words, Ancestor Witch Dijiang roared.

"Big brother, if only we had fully comprehended our Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array, how could we be suppressed by the Demon Clan's Star Array of the Heavens!"

Zhu Jiuyin also said indignantly.

"Indeed, the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array inherited from Father God's bloodline is definitely stronger than their formation! It's just that we can currently only unleash its minor completion power. If we could unleash its major completion power, how could we let these two birds squawk here!"

Ancestor Witch Zhurong was also somewhat unwilling.

Currently, the Twelve Ancestor Witches were at different cultivation levels. Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Gonggong, Zhurong, and Houtu had reached the early stage of Quasi-Saint.

Qiangliang, Xuanming, Yuezi, and the other Ancestor Witches were only at the peak of Grand Unity.

Therefore, their Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array could not be perfectly displayed, only showing its minor completion power.

Once the other Ancestor Witches reached the Quasi-Saint realm, the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array they unleashed would at least be at major completion power.

It might even reach perfect completion power.

Once the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array was perfectly displayed, they could even contend with a Saint, let alone the insignificant Star Array of the Heavens of the Demon Clan.

But now...

They were at a disadvantage, there was no helping it.

They were anxious!

The Twelve Ancestor Witches had always been people who fought against heaven and earth, when had they ever been afraid!

"Fight!"

"Never admit defeat!"

"Swear to destroy the Demon Clan!"

The terrifying auras of the Twelve Ancestor Witches surged, and the Pangu's Essence Blood was pushed to its limit.

Their colossal bodies, 129,600 zhang tall, erupted with fury.

The conjured true form of Pangu also seemed enraged, wielding the Pangu Axe back and forth. Each swing cracked the void.

Roar!

The battle reached its climax.

However, empowered by the Star Array of the Heavens and the defense of the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Eastern Emperor Bell, the Twelve Ancestor Witches not only failed to break through the opponent's formation but were once again suppressed.
