Tongtian left the disciples with detailed notes on how the Heavenly Cycle Star Array and Twelve Heavenly Fiend Array could be disrupted.

• Three Great Witches tore through the Demon Clan’s flank, while Demon Generals struck back and both sides suffered brutal losses.
• Su Miao reminded the disciples to study the battle, and Tongtian divided the water screen into views of the Demon Clan formation, the battlefield, and the Wu Race rear.

As the battle intensified and casualties mounted, the disciples watched, studied, and exchanged live commentary.

• Tongtian declared that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was unsurpassed in slaughter and could not be broken without four Saints, then explained how the Demon Clan and Wu Race were each buying time for their formations.
• The disciples secretly used Communication Jade Talismans to discuss Tongtian’s lesson, record formation insights, and analyze the fighters in the water screen.
• A Demon General burst from a shattered mountainside and thrust his spear at a Wu Race Warrior, who met it with a punch that sent nearby fighters flying.
• Di Jun directed the Heavenly Cycle Star Array while Tai Yi used the Chaos Bell to trap Wu Race warriors, and Di Jiang, Zhu Rong, and Gong Gong countered with their abilities.
• The fighting became a bloody meat grinder, and a Human Disciple retched while Su Miao watched without intervening.

• The Twelve Ancestral Witches joined their qi-blood to summon the Pangu True Body, which shattered the starlight chains and injured Tai Yi with its first punch.

• The Pangu True Body struck at Di Jun, and the collision damaged both the Demon Clan’s Star Chart and the Wu Race’s totem pillars.

Su Miao watched the Twelve Ancestral Witches summon Pangu True Body and asked Tongtian whether the Three Pure Ones could combine into a complete Pangu Nascent Soul.

• Tongtian explained that the Twelve Ancestral Witches shared the same bloodline, unlike the Three Pure Ones, and threatened to turn Su Miao into a turtle if she asked that question again.

Tongtian explained that the Pangu phantom was not the same as the Three Pure Ones combining, while the battle between the Wu Race and Demon Clan turned against the Demon Clan after the formation was breached. Fuxi and Ancestor Minghe entered the battlefield, and the fighting continued.

• Tongtian told the Disciples that the Pangu True Body was a phantom and warned Su Miao that combining the Three Pure Ones would defy the Dao.

• Ancestor Minghe appeared as a Blood Sea Phantom spread across the battlefield, bringing the Asura Race and a mass of blood shadows.

Minghe joined Di Jun’s embattled forces but used the battlefield to feed on corpses, Essence Blood, and remnant souls instead of fighting in earnest. The Witch-Demon battle continued as Di Jun and Tai Yi tolerated his treachery, while observers identified Minghe as a dangerous and untrustworthy opportunist.

• Tai Yi stopped Di Jun from confronting Minghe, and the disciples watching the water screen condemned Minghe’s conduct.

The Second Witch-Demon War dragged on for several Eons, devastating the battlefield and consuming generations of Wu Race and Demon Clan fighters. As the Farm Teachings Disciples recorded the war’s horrors, Su Miao strengthened Mount Tai’s protections and sent a secret team to document the damage to the Prehistoric World.
