Dao Source Sacred Land, Great Luo Heaven's Will

"Hahaha!"

Zhurong laughed wildly. "What Demon Clan? They're nothing special! Before our Wu Clan's grand formation, they're nothing but chickens and dogs!"

This battle had thoroughly displayed the Wu Clan's might and humiliated the Demon Clan. Demon Emperor Jun and the remaining nine Demon Saints had all suffered grave injuries and would absolutely be unable to recover anytime soon.

Now was the time to beat a dog when it was down!

Dijiang spoke even more righteously. "Today, we attacked the Heavenly Court merely to seek justice for Fellow Daoist Wangshu! Yet who would have thought that you people would be so incapable of appreciating kindness? Since that is the case, don't blame us for getting serious!"

Upon hearing this, Dijun's eyes nearly split apart. Endless Solar True Fire surged forth as he wished he could immediately charge forward and perish together with Dijiang and the others.

The Demon Clan had suffered devastating losses in this battle. Xihe had lost her Evil Corpse, Demon Saint Feidan had fallen outright, and dozens of Great Luo demon gods had fallen into the Calamity of Self-Loss. The Heavenly Court's dignity had been thoroughly ground into the dirt, yet they still had to endure the Ancestral Witches' mockery.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi pushed the Chaos Bell to its limit and coldly looked at Dijiang and the others. "You can only use that method once, can't you?"

Though the Demon Clan had suffered grievous losses this time, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had not summoned Pangu's True Body without paying a price.

If they fought to the death, they still had a chance to drag several Ancestral Witches down with them.

"So what if we can?"

Gonggong was utterly unconcerned as he sneered. "Even without activating the formation or summoning Pangu's True Body, we can still grind you into the dirt!"

At that moment, an incomparably beautiful figure appeared between heaven and earth. "Fellow Daoists of the Wu Clan, show mercy where mercy is due. The karmic entanglement between Wangshu and Xihe should not spread to the entire Demon Clan!"

"Queen Mother of the West?"

Tianwu could not help but sneer. "You want to stand up for the Demon Clan? Could it be that East King Duke's death truly resulted from you colluding with Xihe?"

Facing Tianwu's ridicule, Queen Mother of the West's expression remained unchanged. She merely said coldly, "Without evidence, why bother showing off your sharp tongue here, Fellow Daoist? I have appeared today for no reason other than the fear that when the lips are gone, the teeth will grow cold!"

Today, the Wu Clan had used standing up for Wangshu as their pretext. If the Demon Clan were destroyed by the Wu Clan, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would likely turn on her next!

Naturally, she could not simply sit and await death!

As for Wangshu's matter, she was extremely straightforward and had no intention of denying it.

"It is merely a Great Dao Struggle!"

Queen Mother of the West brought out the Pure Water Alms Bowl and Kunlun Mirror, two Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and slowly said, "Taizhen also wishes to experience your methods, Fellow Daoists!"

Taizhen was Queen Mother of the West's true name. However, as the Head of Female Immortals, ordinary beings were generally not qualified to address her by that name.

A great battle was on the verge of erupting!

Just then, a somewhat frivolous voice suddenly rang out from the void. "Everyone, harmony is precious in all things! It would be better for Wangshu and Xihe to settle their own affairs themselves. Why must you Fellow Daoists bring calamity upon the living beings of the Primordial True Realm over the affairs of those two?"

This voice did not belong to the present age. It had sounded across endless time and space from the future, as though it belonged to some future Grand Unity Golden Immortal who had attained the Dao.

Zhu Jiuyin directly activated the Time Great Dao, suppressing a certain point in time. "One from the future should not meddle in the affairs of the present!"

Yet in an instant, the visitor vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a cryptic sentence that echoed through the endless River of Time and Space.

"Reversal is the movement of the Dao; weakness is the function of the Dao. All things under heaven are born from being, and being is born from nonbeing. Without the Demon Clan to balance the Wu Clan, it would not be a good thing for either Primordial Heaven and Earth or the Wu Clan!"

Zhu Jiuyin's heart shook violently. He wanted to leap into the River of Time and Space and find this riddle-spewing fellow, but the other party's karma had been severed completely.

"Let's go!"

Dijiang gave Queen Mother of the West a meaningful look before slowly speaking. "We can withdraw, and we can allow Wangshu to settle her karma with Xihe herself. But Xihe must return the Moon God Authority!"

"Agreed!"

Dijun immediately accepted.

Though it was deeply humiliating, this was truly not the time to fight the Wu Clan to mutual destruction.

"Xihe!"

Dijun looked directly at Xihe, and Xihe wisely relinquished the Moon God Authority. The aura she emitted immediately weakened considerably.

The power of the Lunar Star dissipated, while the power of the sun rose again. The original balance of yin and yang was broken, and invisible karma converged in the void.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches then departed. Before leaving, Xuan Ming even shook the Moon Essence Wheel in her hand, seemingly provoking Dijun and Xihe.

The other Great Divine Ability Users watching the battle were somewhat baffled. Some even grew suspicious. Why didn't the Wu Clan take this chance to destroy the Demon Clan?

For the Wu Clan, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. As long as they destroyed the Demon Clan, the Wu Clan would become the sole overlord of the Primordial True Realm.

Xuan Yin was also very curious.

"It isn't that simple!"

Yan Lin slowly said, "It is the Great Trend of the Primordial World for the Wu and Demon Races to withdraw from the main axis of time! If the Wu Clan directly became the overlord of the Primordial World, would those Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the future still have a chance to attain the Dao?"

"Though Grand Unity Golden Immortals attain the Dao once and possess it forever, existing in the past, present, and future alike, changing the greater trend would create unimaginable temporal paradoxes!"

"To preserve the greater trend, those Grand Unity Golden Immortals would inevitably descend from the future!"

"At that time, the Wu Clan would not merely face the Demon Clan, but also beings who had attained the Dao as Grand Unity Golden Immortals throughout the endless time and space of the future!"

When a whale falls, all things are nourished. Who knew how many future Grand Unity Golden Immortals had attained the Dao by relying on the benefits left behind after the Wu and Demon Races had both suffered losses?

If the greater trend changed, they would lose their future opportunities to attain the Dao and be unable to become Grand Unity Golden Immortals, thus creating terrifying temporal paradoxes.

Xuan Yin suddenly understood.

Back then, he had considered seizing the opportunities of the Three Ancestors of the Human Race. Yet when he had tried to put it into practice, an inexplicable terror had descended upon him.

Now, it seemed that had been a sign that future Grand Unity Golden Immortals were about to descend into the present world.

Fortunately, he had stopped in time!

Otherwise, he probably would have ended up mysteriously dead in the wilderness before he could even join the Jie Sect!

He did not know how many Grand Unity Golden Immortals existed in the future, but Xuan Shuang had once told him that when the Buddhist Dao rose to prominence, there were twelve hundred and fifty people in the Garden of Solitude.

Purple Sky Palace and the Garden of Solitude were both Dao Source Sacred Lands independent of all worlds. Only Grand Unity Golden Immortals and beings above that level were qualified to enter.

In other words, including those who had joined midway, throughout the endless time and space of the future and until the Immeasurable Kalpa, the Buddhist Sect would have at least twelve hundred and fifty Grand Unity Golden Immortals. And among them, how many Quasi-Saints would there be?

Besides the Buddhist Sect, the Human Race would become the future Protagonist of Heaven and Earth. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would certainly be Quasi-Saints, making eight Quasi-Saint-level existences.

Furthermore, how many Grand Unity Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints could the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects, along with those Rogue Cultivators, produce?

Surely no fewer than four digits.

If the Wu and Demon Races did not withdraw from the stage of the Primordial World, or if one race dominated the Primordial World alone, how could those future Grand Unity Golden Immortals have opportunities to attain the Dao?

"The greater trend!"

Xuan Yin could not help but smile bitterly. "What will of heaven? What greater trend? They are merely considerations made by those future Grand Unity Golden Immortals for their own interests!"

"Grand Unity Golden Immortals are the will of heaven!"

If the Demon Clan had faced the threat of destruction today, then for the sake of this so-called greater trend, nearly a thousand Grand Unity Golden Immortals would likely have descended together from the River of Time and Space.

Who could stop them?

The current Demon Clan had only three to five hundred Grand Unity Golden Immortals, yet it could already stand on equal footing with the Wu Clan. If more than a thousand Grand Unity Golden Immortals descended at once, even if the Wu Clan could summon Pangu's True Body, they likely would not be able to withstand them!

After all...

Their formation currently possessed only the power for a single strike and could not endure for long at all!

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin had most likely understood this as well, which was why they chose to withdraw voluntarily and spare Demon Emperor Jun and the others!
