"Break!"
An attack even more powerful than before suddenly appeared and shot toward Xuanyuan.
Great Shaman Fei Lian's expression changed drastically. He urged him repeatedly, "Ancestor Witch Xuanyuan, recall the Taiji Diagram at once! Only the Taiji Diagram can withstand an attack this terrifying."
Xuanyuan waved a hand, his expression calm. He scoffed, "You brute, relying on nothing but raw strength. Today, I'll teach you how to use Law Power properly!"
With a casual strike, he opened a spatial passage. The terrifying attack from the Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit entered it and disappeared.
The Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit shook its head, clearly not expecting its attack—one that had consumed its origin power—to be neutralized so easily.
It failed to notice the spatial passage that had silently opened behind it.
The attack that had disappeared into the passage reappeared through a new spatial passage.
"Boom!"
The terrifying attack struck the Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit directly. Its thousand-zhang-tall body was blasted into dust and vanished into the air.
The Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit had been so invincible that it plunged the entire Witch Clan tribe into despair and nearly wiped them out. Yet Xuanyuan had killed it with such ease.
For a moment, all the Great Shamans and billions of Witch Clan members stared at Xuanyuan, dumbfounded.
They had only one thought.
Strong!
Far too strong!
Billions of Witch Clan members stood gathered together, yet an eerie silence fell over them.
Only when a golden pillar of light descended from the heavens toward Xuanyuan did the billions of Witch Clan members come to their senses.
One by one, they grew excited and exhilarated.
"So strong!"
"A Daluo Golden Immortal-level Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit was killed with such ease. Who is this man?"
"Heavenly Dao Merit! So the rumors were true. Killing a Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit really does earn Heavenly Dao Merit!"
The billions of Witch Clan members watched the Heavenly Dao Merit descending toward Xuanyuan with great envy.
Yet not one of them felt jealous of him.
Xuanyuan had helped them slay the Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit and saved billions of Witch Clan members. He was a hero to the entire Witch Clan tribe.
The Heavenly Dao Merit was his due.
Just as the Heavenly Dao Merit was about to reach him, Xuanyuan furrowed his brow. With a casual wave, he shattered the pillar of light, sending countless points of light scattering down toward the billions of Witch Clan members below.
Xuanyuan's actions left the Witch Clan members stunned.
That was Heavenly Dao Merit!
It was immensely useful for both improving cultivation and strengthening the body.
He was giving up a reward that was already in his hands?
They had no idea that Xuanyuan carried an immense amount of Great Dao Merit and didn't value this Heavenly Dao Merit at all. Sharing it with the Witch Clan members below was far more worthwhile.
Besides, Xuanyuan knew that once he became tainted with Heavenly Dao Merit, he would be bound by the Heavenly Dao. That was no good for him.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have slain the Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit and completed the mission. The system reward has been issued."
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Destruction Great Dao Law. Would you like to fuse with it?"
"Fuse!"
"Ding! Fusion complete. Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Fragmentary Great Dao Law of Destruction!"
With the Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit slain, the system mission was complete. Xuanyuan obtained the Destruction Great Dao Law and the Demon Clan Script.
Xuanyuan opened the system panel and took a look.
Host: Xuanyuan Race: Witch Clan Ancestor Witch Cultivation: Great Perfection of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm Root: Innate God-Demon Technique: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Origin Technique (Fourth Revolution, Great Perfection) Laws: Sword Law (30|100), Time Law (20|100), Space Law (20|100), Pill Law (20|100), Lightning Law (40|100), Destruction Law (30|100) Spiritual Treasures: Chaos Spiritual Treasure—Chaos Bead, Chaos Spiritual Treasure—Chaos Cauldron, Supreme Grade Innate Supreme Treasure—Kunwu Sword (Fragment), Supreme Grade Innate Supreme Treasure—Taiji Diagram, Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus, Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—Enlightenment Chair, Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—Southern Earthly Flame Light Banner, Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—Book of Humanity, Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—Investiture of the Gods, God-Beating Whip...
Obtaining the Destruction Great Dao Law had boosted Xuanyuan's strength considerably.
In particular, the Destruction Great Dao Law could be combined with other laws to unleash several times more power.
Xuanyuan was very pleased with this.
He gave Fei Lian a sound-transmitting spiritual treasure, glanced up at the sky, then tore open a spatial passage and returned to Qianyuan Mountain.
Hidden in the void, Hongjun watched Xuanyuan leave and furrowed his brow.
"What keen senses!"
As a Heavenly Dao Saint, Hongjun hadn't expected Xuanyuan to detect him.
He had sensed the Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit near Mount Buzhou long ago and had remained hidden in the void ever since.
The Demon Clan wanted to use the Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit to destroy the Witch Clan. As the Heavenly Dao's representative, Hongjun naturally couldn't sit by and do nothing.
However, he hadn't immediately moved to kill the Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit.
It wasn't yet time for the Witch Clan to be destroyed, but using the remnant spirit to kill some of the Witch Clan's Great Shamans and weaken their foundations was still worthwhile.
After all, the Witch Clan had thirteen Ancestor Witches and nearly a hundred Great Shamans. They couldn't compare to certain top-tier powerhouses, but their overall strength was still formidable.
Compared to the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan was considerably weaker.
The Witch and Demon Clans were destined to become the leading powers of the next calamity.
He had to keep their strength balanced. That way, during the upcoming Witch-Demon Calamity, he could weaken both clans as much as possible and complete the task entrusted to him by the Heavenly Dao.
After witnessing just how powerful an unpredictable variable like Xuanyuan was, Hongjun was even more determined to weaken the Witch Clan.
After Xuanyuan left, Hongjun lingered in the void for a while before departing as well.
Below, not one of the Great Shamans or anyone else had noticed his presence.
At that moment, the entire Witch Clan was immersed in excitement and exhilaration.
And when they learned that the powerhouse who had helped them wasn't an outsider but the Witch Clan's thirteenth Ancestor Witch, their emotions swelled even more.
Although the Destruction Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit had slaughtered several Witch Clan tribes during the crisis, not a single Great Shaman had fallen.
Xuanyuan had shattered the Heavenly Dao Merit and distributed it among the Witch Clan members. Many had even come out of the disaster stronger than before.
The Witch Clan's overall strength hadn't diminished; in fact, it had increased considerably.
That was a blessing in its own way.
After returning to Qianyuan Mountain, Xuanyuan, unusually, didn't laze around. Instead, he seriously reflected on what had happened.
The incident with the Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit had served as a wake-up call.
The Witch Clan appeared powerful, but it still had many weaknesses.
Especially when it came to its high-end combat strength.
Aside from the Ancestor Witches and Great Shaman Jiu Feng, the other Great Shamans really were somewhat weak.
When he and the Twelve Ancestor Witches, including Dijiang, weren't around, a mere Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit had nearly wiped out the entire Witch Clan.
The Witch Clan lacked powerful experts, especially those at the Daluo Golden Immortal level.
If the Witch Clan was to become a true top-tier power, it had to train a group of Great Shamans as soon as possible and help them advance to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
After all, ever since Hongjun's lecture, powerful figures in the Primordial World had been springing up like bamboo shoots after rain.
In particular, among those who had attended the lectures at Zixiao Palace, a large number of Daluo Golden Immortals had already emerged.
After the second lecture, a new batch of Quasi-Saints would appear.
A late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal Chaos Demon God's remnant spirit had already left the Great Shamans helpless. Once Quasi-Saints emerged, the gap would widen countless times. Victory would no longer be possible through numbers alone.
