"Stop her!"
Dijun immediately panicked. He directly activated the Monster Summoning Banner, ordering the demon kings and Daluo demon gods under his command to stop Xuan Ming at all costs. Meanwhile, he transformed into a rainbow in an instant, shook off Zhurong, and merged the River Diagram and Luo Book back into Heavenly Court's protective grand formation.
He had thought that, given the Demon Clan's current strength, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were nothing to fear. Yet he had not expected Xihe to be no match for Xuan Ming at all.
As the Demon Emperor, he was an extremely decisive figure. Since they could not defeat the Twelve Ancestral Witches head-on, then in order to preserve the Demon Clan's strength, they had to avoid their edge and wait until they could deduce the Star Dou Great Formation.
"Trying to leave? It won't be that easy!"
Zhurong sneered and gave chase, but as the Fire Ancestral Witch, he could not match Dijun's speed, which was among the greatest in the world.
The Golden Crow Clan were sacred beings of fire, born with three legs, each leg representing an Innate Divine Ability. Aside from the Solar True Fire that could burn all things to ashes and their flame incarnations, what they excelled at most was the Golden Crow Transforming into a Rainbow technique, which allowed them to traverse space!
Across the Primordial World, among those of the same realm, only a few peak Great Divine Ability Users such as Kun Peng, Dijiang, and Tianwu could rival their speed.
Mystic Gate's Soaring Golden Light had been modeled after the Golden Crow Transforming into a Rainbow technique, but in essence, the Golden Crow Clan's Innate Divine Ability was still superior!
Boom!
Zhurong's All Heavens Divine Fire slammed directly into the Primordial Luo River Formation. For a time, ultimate destructive power swept through the boundless void.
Yet with Dijun, the Demon Emperor, presiding over the Primordial Luo River Formation, numerous demon gods channeling their Magic Power, and the River Diagram and Luo Book, two Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, serving as its formation cores, it was not something Zhurong alone could break.
"Taiyi!"
Dijun shouted, and Taiyi immediately understood. He revealed his Golden Crow true form and forcefully drove back Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin with the Chaos Bell.
Then, using its power to reverse the heavens and space-time, he manifested layers upon layers of space-time barriers, covering the retreat of the Ten Great Demon Saints and Demon Master Kun Peng into the formation.
This was also their greatest advantage.
With the Chaos Bell in hand, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was innately undefeated. No Ancestral Witch could defeat him in a one-on-one fight, and even if several Ancestral Witches besieged him, he could still remain unbeaten.
Thus, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin had never intended to kill Taiyi from the start. They only sought to buy enough time for the other Ancestral Witches.
"Form the formation!"
Watching Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi retreat, Dijiang's expression darkened. If they did not use their trump card, they truly had no chance of severely wounding the Demon Clan.
This time, they had come riding the tide of momentum. They absolutely could not return empty-handed.
Zhu Jiuyin wanted to say something, but seeing Dijiang's expression, he chose silence. Their Wu Clan, born from Pangu's Essence Blood, naturally possessed the foundation to walk the Primordial World. However, the formation Dijiang spoke of had not yet been fully developed. Even if they barely managed to form it, it would only have the power for a single strike.
If they could not destroy the Demon Clan in one push this time, once the Demon Clan was prepared, it would not be so easy to achieve anything with the formation again!
Still, since Dijiang had made his decision, he had to support it without condition.
"Set the formation!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches shouted in unison. Boundless fiendish aura gathered, transforming into twelve heavenly pillars that erupted with power capable of stirring all phenomena of space-time.
[Twelve Divine Fiend Great Formation]
Shrouded in fiendish aura, the Twelve Ancestral Witches seemed like twelve Chaos Demon Gods, every inch of their bodies radiating ultimate destructive intent.
Yet what shocked everyone most was the supreme dharma form condensed from fiendish aura within the endless void after the twelve heavenly pillars fused together.
Pangu True Body!
Although it was only an extremely vague figure, every living being above the Daluo realm in the Primordial True Realm recognized it instantly.
The many Daluo demon gods of Heavenly Court were so terrified that their courage nearly shattered. If Dijun had not controlled the Monster Summoning Banner, they likely would have fled long ago!
This was simply not something they could contend with!
Even Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had always been dismissive of everything, revealed a trace of gravity. He knew that this dharma form could threaten him.
"Don't be afraid!"
Dijun could only reassure the demon gods. "These Wu Clan bastards are merely putting on a show!"
At the same time, the Two Sages atop Mount Sumeru could not help but frown.
"A variable!"
Daoist Jieyin sighed. "This epoch is unlike the previous ones! In past cycles, it was always the Demon Clan that first developed the Star Dou Great Formation! Yet now, the Wu Clan has used its karma with Wangshu to attack the Nine Heavens and has even taken the lead in bringing forth the Twelve Divine Fiend Great Formation!"
Though each cycle of every Chaos epoch had its differences, fundamentally, it was always the Demon Clan that first declared war upon the Wu Clan, which occupied the land...
Daoist Zhunti looked toward Mount Kunlun and said suspiciously, "Could it be that those few on Mount Kunlun are secretly manipulating the karma of the two races?"
Within the Primordial World, the only ones who retained memories of past cycles were the few Sages, at most along with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohu, and that Great Immortal Yang Mei who was rumored to have fled into Chaos!
Although they had never made an agreement, they shared a certain tacit understanding: they would never casually interfere with the great trend of Heaven and Earth.
Unless...
It concerned their own Dao Fruit!
But the karma between the Witch and Demon Races was the natural operation of Primordial Heaven and Earth, one of the necessary conditions for the transition from the innate era to the acquired era.
Those Sages had no reason to choose this moment to aid the Wu Clan.
"I fear this epoch contains a new variable. As for us... let us wait and see!"
Daoist Jieyin did not act rashly. Instead, he chose to watch from the sidelines, secretly sorting through the karma involved and trying to find the source of this change.
Daoist Zhunti was eager to act, but seeing Daoist Jieyin, he ultimately chose to close his eyes.
"Open the Heavens!"
Every movement of the Pangu True Body contained immeasurable divine might. In but a moment, it condensed a phantom of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe through fiendish aura.
Beneath the divine axe, clear and turbid separated, heaven and earth collapsed, and all things were to be reduced to nothingness.
The Heaven-Opening Axe Light was boundless and limitless, without beginning or end, without above or below, without cause or effect, as if no living being could evade its slash.
"Block it!"
At this moment, Dijun did not hesitate to burn his essence blood and primordial spirit, exhausting the Daluo foundation he had accumulated over countless Epochs as he pushed the Primordial Luo River Formation to its limit, all to block this heaven-destroying, earth-shattering strike.
Seeing this, the other demon gods and demon saints also burned their essence blood and primordial spirits. They had no choice but to entrust their lives to Dijun.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was not idle either. Not only did he burn his essence blood and primordial spirit to activate the Chaos Bell, he also drew upon a trace of the Solar Star's power in the unseen depths.
Boom!
The axe light descended, shattering endless space-time and erasing all order. The Primordial Luo River Formation set up by Dijun was reduced to nothingness in an instant.
"Chaos Bell, suppress!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi activated the Chaos Bell, protecting the core figures such as Dijun and Kun Peng, yet they were still cleaved into chaotic void by the Heaven-Opening Axe Light.
If not for the Solar Star's power guiding them, they would likely have become lost within the chaotic void.
Even so, the Demon Clan suffered devastating losses. Several dozen Daluo demon gods fell into the Daluo Calamity of Self-Loss beneath the Heaven-Opening Axe Light.
Beyond that, Feidan of the Ten Great Demon Saints was also unfortunately grazed by the axe light.
In the end, he perished, body and Dao extinguished!
Dijun's two Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures also dimmed in spiritual radiance and suffered damage to their origins. Without several Epochs of nurturing, they would likely struggle to recover, let alone deduce heavenly secrets or set up formations!
However, after unleashing this strike, the Ancestral Witch true bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches were likewise covered in cracks. They likely had no strength left to fight again for some time!
For a moment, heaven and earth fell silent!
All Great Divine Ability Users beneath the Sage realm stared at this scene in utter disbelief.
