"Bad! We're going to lose!"
At that moment, Dijiang's expression turned grim.
"Unwilling! I'm truly unwilling to accept this!"
Zhu Jiuyin, Zhurong, Gonggong, and the others all wore resentful expressions.
Whoosh!
On the Solar Star, a golden arrow shot over and instantly pierced the ground.
Rumble!
Then, a deafening boom rang out.
The entire Solar Star shook violently.
Several little Golden Crows on the Fusang Tree chirped in terror, completely panicked.
They had never encountered anything like this before.
The golden arrow radiated an aura that made their hearts tremble, as though it were about to swallow them whole.
Then, in the eyes of the little Golden Crows, the golden arrow plunged into the ground and smashed out a gigantic hole ten thousand li wide.
The hole was bottomless, and the other side of the Solar Star could be seen through it.
At the same time, the spiritual energy on the Solar Star erupted into violent turmoil.
Originally, countless stars had surrounded the Solar Star and Lunar Star, using them as their cores while continuously replenishing the Star Array of the Heavens with spiritual energy.
But now, the Star Array of the Heavens suddenly lost most of its spiritual-energy support, and the formation immediately collapsed.
Bang!
Above the Witch Clan, the Pangu True Form cleaved down with its axe, striking the Star Array of the Heavens.
In the past, that axe strike would have done no more than send a ripple of light through the Star Array of the Heavens.
But now...
Crack!
The Star Array of the Heavens shattered instantly.
"What?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Dijun and Taiyi's faces turned pale.
Their Star Array of the Heavens had actually been split apart by a single axe, catching them completely off guard.
"Wonderful!"
On the other side, Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, Gonggong, Zhurong, and the other Ancestral Witches were all incredibly excited when they saw this.
"Kill them!"
"Pluck every feather from these two mangy birds!"
"We can finally fight without holding back!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were all intensely excited. Although they did not know why a single axe had been able to shatter the opposing formation,
that did not matter. As long as they could beat those two mangy birds senseless, that was enough.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless gigantic fists instantly rained down on the Eastern Emperor Bell surrounding Dijun and Taiyi.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The axe of the Pangu True Form struck the Eastern Emperor Bell as well.
The enormous force passed through the Eastern Emperor Bell again and again, transmitting into the bodies of Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Fuxi and leaving them in a sorry state.
Puff! Puff!
The four of them spat out blood, their faces pale.
"Big Brother, I can't hold on much longer! Pfft!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke as he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Among the four, Eastern Emperor Taiyi controlled the Eastern Emperor Bell's defenses, so he bore the greatest force.
"It's over, it's over. Our Demon Clan is going to lose again!"
Dijun's face was ashen.
Without the Pangu True Form, breaking through the Eastern Emperor Bell with the Twelve Ancestral Witches' fists would have been extremely difficult.
But now, with the Pangu True Form attacking, the enormous Pangu Axe was simply too terrifying. It made the Eastern Emperor Bell tremble incessantly, as though it might shatter at any moment.
The four of them could be said to be unable even to flee!
At the same time, on the Lunar Star.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully causing harm. You have received the system reward..."
The system's reward had arrived again.
Moreover, this reward made Hong Yun even more delighted.
Inside Purple Cloud Palace.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun opened his eyes while cultivating.
"Hmm? The second Witch-Demon battle has undergone a variable!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun had originally been preparing the contents of his third sermon, but now he had no choice but to rise.
"If this continues, the Demon Clan will probably be wiped out in this battle."
"The Witch-Demon Tribulation will be thrown into chaos!"
Originally, after reaching the Saint level, one would not easily participate in a Heaven and Earth tribulation.
After all, the Heavenly Dao had already arranged the trajectory of the tribulation's development.
But if he did not act now, the trajectory set by the Heavenly Dao would deviate.
Moreover...
Dao Ancestor Hongjun was also doing everything possible to reach a higher level.
Saints were not the limit of his ambition.
He still had to merge with the Dao and become a Heavenly Dao Saint!
He absolutely could not allow the Heavenly Dao's trajectory to deviate in any way, or it would affect his plans.
Whoosh!
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light that flew toward the Great Desolation.
In merely a few breaths, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already arrived above the Witch Clan.
This was the power of a Saint!
If it had been an ordinary Great Desolation expert, traveling from the Great Desolation to Purple Cloud Palace would probably have taken several decades.
Even a Quasi-Saint expert would have needed several years to arrive.
But a Saint needed only a few breaths.
To them, it was truly possible to travel across the Great Desolation in a single day, visiting the Northern Sea in the morning and Cangwu by evening.
Above the Witch Clan, Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, Fuxi, and the others were being brutally beaten by the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Seeing that the Eastern Emperor Bell was about to break, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were all somewhat thrilled.
Once this Innate Supreme Treasure broke, Dijun and the others would likely perish at the hands of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
At the same time, the battle across the entire Witch Clan's territory had also undergone a heaven-shaking change.
Originally, the Demon Clan had possessed overwhelming numbers. Although they could not contend with the Witch Clan in individual strength, they had suppressed the Witch Clan through their numerical advantage.
But now, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had gained the upper hand, and the Demon Clan had lost the protection of the Star Array of the Heavens.
The Great Witches and ordinary witches across the Witch Clan's territory were like sharp swords, stabbing into the heart of the Demon Clan.
The Demon Clan's army fell into complete chaos at this moment.
"Run!"
"We're going to lose!"
"If we don't run now, we'll die!"
Crash!
Countless members of the Demon Clan retreated one after another.
Once the momentum of retreat formed, it could no longer be stopped.
When an army collapsed, it did so like a landslide. Countless demons trampled over the bodies of their own people and frantically fled backward.
In an instant, more than half of the countless members of the Demon Clan perished.
Most of them had been trampled to death by their own people while fleeing in disarray.
Only the Great Demons and Demon Generals, whose flying speeds were exceptionally fast, managed to escape the calamity.
The members of the Witch Clan charged forward madly, constantly hacking at the rear of the fleeing Demon Clan army.
Buzz!
Just then, a vast and mighty aura descended, enveloping the entire territory of the Witch Clan.
This aura was filled with peace and auspiciousness.
The endless baleful energy stirred up by the slaughter was washed by this peaceful aura, calming everyone down.
"It's a Saint! The Saint has come to save us!"
"Wonderful! It's Dao Ancestor Hongjun. We're saved!"
"We can finally survive! We must never come to the Witch Clan again. All my brothers and sisters are dead!"
At this moment, countless members of the Demon Clan felt as though they had survived a catastrophe.
They were also immensely grateful to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Likewise, when the Twelve Ancestral Witches saw Saint Hongjun appear, they could only stop.
Demon Emperor Dijun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Fuxi, and Kunpeng also breathed sighs of relief.
"Fortunately, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared. Otherwise, we would probably have died here!"
Demon Emperor Dijun muttered.
"Wonderful! Now that the Saint has appeared, the Twelve Ancestral Witches won't dare attack us again. Otherwise, my Eastern Emperor Bell would have been shattered in moments!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was also extremely excited. Dao Ancestor Hongjun had arrived at exactly the right time.
Only the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan looked unhappy.
Hongjun had arrived neither early nor late, but precisely when they were about to achieve total victory. This made the Twelve Ancestral Witches extremely displeased.
Their resentment toward Dao Ancestor Hongjun consequently grew even stronger.
"Enough. The battle between the Witches and Demons ends here! If you continue fighting, all living beings will suffer!"
"From this day onward, the Demon Clan shall rule the heavens, and the Witch Clan shall rule the earth!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice rang out, drifting across the entire Great Desolation.
The Demon Clan ruled the heavens, and the Witch Clan ruled the earth!
This was the Saint's decree. No one dared disobey.
"Yes, we respectfully obey the Saint's decree!"
"We respectfully obey the Saint's decree!"
Hearing Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words, Dijun, Taiyi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches all bowed.
Before possessing enough strength to contend with a Saint, they could only treat the Saint's words as law.
This was the law of the jungle: the strong were revered.
The Great Desolation was no exception.
"My third sermon in Purple Cloud Palace will begin five hundred years from now. All living beings of the Great Desolation who are fated to do so may come and listen!"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun left them with those final words. His figure flashed, and he vanished from the Great Desolation, returning to Purple Cloud Palace.
On the Lunar Star.
Hong Yun was just about to inspect the reward given by the system.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words had naturally spread throughout the entire starry sky and reached Hong Yun's ears.
Hong Yun was not surprised by Dao Ancestor Hongjun's appearance. He knew that the Heavenly Dao could not possibly allow the Witch-Demon Tribulation to end at this moment.
"Only five hundred years remain before the third sermon begins?"
"The third sermon will be when Dao Ancestor Hongjun schemes against me!"
Hong Yun thought to himself.
But he was not afraid. He now had his Mythical Avatar as a backup plan, so he could be said to stand in an invincible position.
However, he still had not figured out how to turn the tables on Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
After all, even with the Saint Slaying Pill and Three Lights Divine Water, refining a poison that even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not withstand would still be extremely difficult.
"Right, the system reward from earlier!"
Hong Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Just after he had tricked the Demon Clan, the system's voice had rung out and rewarded him with a treasure: a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.
Although Hong Yun had already obtained a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation in Pangu Hall, these fragments were not limited to just one.
There were thirty-six of them in total.
Each fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation contained a Great Dao law.
The fragment Hong Yun had obtained previously contained the law of the Devouring Great Dao.
This time...
Hong Yun bid farewell to Changxi and Xihe.
The two women were still somewhat reluctant to part with him.
With Hong Yun present, masculine energy filled the entire Lunar Star, making the two of them feel less cold.
Even their cultivation proceeded much more smoothly.
But now, Hong Yun was leaving.
The two women could not bring themselves to hold him back.
"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, come visit Guanghan Palace again when you have time!"
"The gates of our Guanghan Palace will always be open to you, Fellow Daoist!"
Xihe and Changxi said to Hong Yun.
"Certainly!"
Hong Yun nodded.
Immediately afterward, his figure flashed and transformed into a streak of light, heading toward Fire Cloud Cave.
In the days that followed, Hong Yun would comprehend the Great Dao laws contained within this Jade Disc of Creation.
Inside Fire Cloud Cave.
Hong Yun took out the Great Dao Cushion and sat on it.
Then he waved his hand and brought out the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation he had just obtained.
Buzz!
A strand of divine sense spread from Hong Yun's primordial spirit, enveloping the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.
What kind of Great Dao laws were contained within the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation would only be known after he comprehended it.
Therefore, even now, Hong Yun still did not know what Great Dao laws were contained within this Jade Disc of Creation.
Three days later.
Hong Yun finally opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were filled with delight.
"The laws contained within this fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation are actually the Law of Chaos!"
"My Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit is currently stuck at the Foundation Building Third Layer. If I want to continue advancing, I can only constantly provide it with the power of Great Dao laws to nourish it!"
"If I comprehend this Law of Chaos, my Mythical Dao Fruit will be able to improve considerably once again!"
Hong Yun murmured.
The Mythical Grand Unity Dao Fruit was divided into a total of ten realms.
