Witch-Demon War, Sun Moon Essence Wheel

The Heavenly Realm's protective grand formation used the River Diagram and Luo Book as its core. It contained endless spacetime and concealed countless transformations: the Primordial Luo River Formation.

Once the formation rose, scenes of the ancient Primordial World manifested, transforming into layer upon layer of spacetime barriers.

Unfortunately, the Twelve Ancestral Witches possessed even more formidable methods. With a single strike, a flaw appeared in the once flawless Primordial Luo River Formation.

"Suppress!"

Had Eastern Emperor Taiyi not acted in time, using the Chaos Bell to suppress all phenomena of space and time, Dijun, who was presiding over the formation, would have suffered an unimaginable backlash.

The moment the Chaos Bell appeared, it erupted with immeasurable divine light, revealing its power to rebound all things.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi drove the Chaos Bell with all his strength. Its peals echoed through eternal time and space as endless spatial power continuously arose and perished between heaven and earth.

The torrent of Great Dao evolved jointly by the Twelve Ancestral Witches was like a Chaos tide, boundless and infinite. Yet the Chaos Bell stood like an ancient divine mountain, utterly unmoved amid the torrent of destruction, stabilizing countless realms of space and time.

However, despite Eastern Emperor Taiyi's strength and his reputation as the foremost beneath the Sages, he still could not unleash the full power of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Even with all his strength, he could only rebound a portion of the Twelve Ancestral Witches' attacks. Most of the attacks still landed upon the Primordial Luo River Formation.

"Everyone, attack with me!"

Yet Eastern Emperor Taiyi's intervention had bought Dijun and Xihe enough time. They immediately led the Ten Great Demon Saints and Kun Peng out to battle.

At the same time, Fu Xi, standing in the rear, plucked the Fu Xi Qin. Immortal music of the Great Dao emerged and empowered Dijun and the Ten Great Demon Saints.

"You go too far!"

Dijun's fury soared to the heavens. Endless Solar True Fire ignited around him, and he drew upon the power of the Solar Star, as though he intended to burn everything in this world to ashes.

"Hahaha!"

Zhurong let out a long roar and directly unleashed the All Heavens Divine Fire, charging forward instead. "Dijun, today I'll let you witness the power of my All Heavens Divine Fire! Solar True Fire? Extinguish!"

As the Fire Ancestral Witch, Zhurong had inherited the All Heavens Divine Fire wielded by Pangu. He also wanted to see which was stronger, the All Heavens Divine Fire or the Solar True Fire. Between himself and Dijun, who possessed greater strength?

As for Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, they took the initiative to entangle Eastern Emperor Taiyi. With an Innate Supreme Treasure in hand, he could be said to stand undefeated. Only their Great Dao could barely restrain him.

The Great Dao of space and time collided with the Great Dao of space and time. Myriad Daos arose and perished, Solar True Fire swept across the heavens, and the roar of the Chaos Bell resounded throughout eternity.

Bai Ze, Ying Zhao, Gui Che, and the other Demon Saints also faced the remaining Ancestral Witches, but their strength was only enough to barely hold them back.

Xuan Ming, meanwhile, confronted Xihe. Endless frigid energy manifested from the void, freezing everything as it sought to cast this Demon Clan Empress down into the mortal world.

"Sun Moon Essence Wheel!"

"Cui Wei Two Energies Lamp!"

Xihe did not dare lower her guard and immediately activated two Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Yet Innate Spiritual Treasures could not make up for the gap between her and Xuan Ming.

Not to mention that Wangshu's lingering remnant thought was still beside Xuan Ming, interfering with Xihe.

"Bitch!"

"Give me back my Moon Essence Wheel!"

Although Wangshu's lingering remnant thought possessed little power, as the Moon Essence Wheel's former owner, she could still influence it invisibly.

In a battle of this level, even the slightest difference could decide victory or defeat. Once Wangshu's lingering remnant thought affected the Moon Essence Wheel, a flaw immediately appeared in Xihe's defenses.

"Break!"

Xuan Ming manifested her true Ancestral Witch form. The power of laws around her condensed upon her fists, and with incomparable might, she blasted the Moon Essence Wheel away.

Xihe suffered severe injuries at once.

The Moon Essence Wheel was no ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure. It contained the fortune of the Heavenly Wedding and was also the treasure that carried the Dao of Xihe's Evil Corpse.

Once the Moon Essence Wheel was damaged, Xihe naturally suffered a backlash as well. Her Great Luo Dao Body was even shattered several times beneath Xuan Ming's destructive power.

For a time, Xihe's incarnations throughout All Heavens and Myriad Realms were affected to varying degrees. Even the eternally existing Solar Star and Lunar Star within the Primordial True Realm dimmed somewhat.

If this happened several more times, it would likely damage the foundation of Xihe's existence and cause her to fall into the Calamity of Self-Loss, just like Wangshu.

"Two Energies True Fire!"

Xihe activated the Cui Wei Two Energies Lamp with all her strength. The authority of the Solar Star and Moon Authority intertwined, while her eyes toward Xuan Ming brimmed with venomous resentment.

Dijun, watching Xihe suffer grievous injuries, was frantic with worry. But Zhurong gave him no chance to aid Xihe.

"Kun Peng, why aren't you attacking?"

Dijun could not help looking toward Kun Peng, who had been slacking off nearby. The other Demon Saints were no match for the Ancestral Witches, but Kun Peng could certainly hold back one of them.

Yet he was merely entangled alongside Demon Saint Qin Yuan with Tianwu, the Ancestor Witch of Wind.

Did he really think Dijun was blind?

Hearing this, Kun Peng had no choice but to bring forth the Demon Master Palace. Boundless light of merit and Demon Script manifested, transforming into countless chains of order that suppressed Tianwu.

Meanwhile, Qin Yuan went to aid Xihe!

"As if it would be that easy!"

As the Ancestor Witch of Wind, Tianwu excelled in speed. How could he allow Qin Yuan to leave?

"Eight Winds Unmoved!"

The Great Dao of Wind manifested between heaven and earth. Centered on Tianwu, it formed eight layers of wind curtains and evolved a pulling force that ensnared all things!

Qin Yuan was bound as well.

With Kun Peng restraining him from the side, she did not fear Tianwu, but for the moment, she had no way to escape the range of Tianwu's divine ability.

"Fellow Daoist Fu Xi!"

Left with no alternative, Dijun could only deal with Zhurong while seeking help from Fu Xi, who was stationed in the rear.

"I understand."

Fu Xi sighed softly. The music of the qin in the void evolved endless killing intent, transforming into Heavenly Blades that slashed fiercely toward Xuan Ming's true Ancestral Witch form.

This time, the Demon Clan was indeed in the wrong. But as the Empress, Xihe was tied to the Demon Clan's fortune. He could not simply stand by and watch her fall.

"Hmph!"

"Do you think I fear you?"

Xuan Ming snorted coldly. The laws of ice manifested, freezing the void and slowing Fu Xi's methods, while her true body charged toward Xihe without regard for anything else.

Countless realms of space and time froze in an instant, and the extreme chill was like killing intent that pierced through eternity.

"Not good!"

Terror appeared on Xihe's face, but with her own life at stake, she could only fight with all her strength. The Sun Moon Essence Wheel became like an eternal blazing sun and a bright moon, crushing through the void like wheels with supreme killing power.

[Ice Domain Azure Sky]

Xuan Ming sneered as the Great Dao of Ice manifested, connecting to form a magnificent world that descended upon Xihe with extreme cold.

Within her domain, she was the absolute ruler. Anyone weaker than her would be suppressed by the ice domain she had evolved.

"Spiritual treasures are merely external objects. How can they contend against the supreme Great Dao of our Wu Clan?"

Xuan Ming's voice carried a disdainful dominance. Under her divine ability, countless cracks immediately appeared across Xihe's Dao Body, like a translucent crystal that could turn to nothingness at any moment.

Wangshu's resentment also seized this chance and lunged fiercely toward the Moon Essence Wheel.

Lunar Star power intertwined and arose and perished within the void. As a result, Xihe had no time to retrieve it and could only watch the Evil Corpse she had painstakingly severed be forcibly ground away by Xuan Ming's Great Dao of Ice.

The only reason she had not yet fallen was because the Demon Clan's fortune supported her, allowing her to use the status of Empress to transfer Xuan Ming's methods onto her incarnations.

But once all her incarnations and all her imprints were completely worn away, the only thing awaiting her would be the Calamity of Self-Loss, just like Wangshu's!

Thus, she could only abandon the Moon Essence Wheel and flee toward the Solar Star.

That was the place of ultimate yang in the Primordial World. Xuan Ming's Great Dao of Ice would surely be greatly weakened there, and it was also Xihe's only hope of survival.

But how could Xuan Ming foolishly chase her to a place like the Solar Star, which suppressed her?

She directly abandoned Xihe, activated her divine ability, and charged toward Dijun instead.

From beginning to end, the Wu Clan's purpose had been to use Wangshu's matter as a pretext to provoke the Demon Clan, thereby helping the Wu Clan secure victory in this great calamity.

Xihe was merely a minor ailment; Dijun was the true threat. If they could kill Dijun, would Xihe not be entirely at the mercy of the Wu Clan?

Did he really think they had come to uphold justice?
