"Damn it, I've been playing with fire for tens of thousands of years, and this is the first time I've been burned like this," Zhu Rong grumbled, patting the flames off his body.
Gong Gong, standing beside him, wanted to laugh but couldn't. The Solar True Fire had them completely suppressed.
"If I had known, we should have let that old guy Zhu Jiuyin handle this kind of job!" Gong Gong muttered.
As the two Ancestor Witches were lost in thought, the surging sea of fire suddenly transformed into a Three-legged Golden Crow, flapping its wings, its fiery eyes fixed on Zhu Rong, the Fire Ancestor Witch, and Gong Gong, the Water Ancestor Witch.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi stood with his arms crossed atop the Three-legged Golden Crow conjured from the Solar True Fire, the Chaos Bell hovering above his head, looking like a god of war clad in flames.
Zhu Rong swallowed and pointed to Gong Gong beside him. "You go first this time!"
Gong Gong rolled his eyes. Water and fire had been incompatible since ancient times. Gong Gong let out a low roar, and ripples of water appeared in his hands. A massive tidal wave immediately formed behind him, its waves churning!
"Go!"
Gong Gong roared again, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi didn't flinch. He stomped his foot, and the Three-legged Golden Crow charged directly towards the giant wave in front of Gong Gong!
Whether water overcomes fire or fire overcomes water was a matter of a single thought!
"I'll help you!" Zhu Rong shouted, producing an axe that could cleave the heavens from who knows where. He leaped thousands of feet into the air and brought the axe down heavily towards Eastern Emperor Taiyi on the Three-legged Golden Crow!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's lips curved slightly. He didn't dodge or evade. The Chaos Bell above his head shone with golden light, and in a moment, it transformed into a massive mountain that topped Eastern Emperor Taiyi's head.
An axe that could cleave the heavens?
Then let him have a mountain to cleave!
The heaven-cleaving axe struck directly onto the mountain conjured by the Chaos Bell. Instantly, the ringing of the Chaos Bell echoed endlessly!
Zhu Rong was sent flying thousands of miles away by the backlash of the Chaos Bell's ringing.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi flickered and instantly appeared before Gong Gong, delivering a palm strike without hesitation. Gong Gong inwardly cried out "Not good!" and crossed his arms, attempting to block the palm.
Bang!
His palms landed directly on Gong Gong's arms. Gong Gong grunted, feeling a burning sensation in his chest, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, falling like a kite with a snapped string.
"You guys are just watching, and I'm about to lose my life!" Gong Gong exclaimed. Below, Zhu Jiuyin and Ju Mang instantly flashed forward.
Ju Mang caught Gong Gong, while Zhu Jiuyin, exuding a sinister aura, charged directly at Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
A black halberd appeared in Zhu Jiuyin's hand, its tip aimed precisely at the head of the Three-legged Golden Crow beneath Eastern Emperor Taiyi's feet.
"You court death!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi said coldly, using the Chaos Bell in his hand like a hammer and smashing it towards Zhu Jiuyin's head!
Zhu Jiuyin roared, and his robes were instantly torn apart by the power of his muscles. An extremely potent surge of vital energy washed over them.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Jiuyin transformed into a colossal giant thousands of feet tall.
"Ancestor Witch True Body!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes gleamed. He retreated instantly as a massive fist smashed into the spot where he had been.
"I'm coming too!" Zhu Rong roared from afar, his vital energy surging. A fiery giant appeared within Eastern Emperor Taiyi's sight.
"Eat my fist!"
Zhu Rong roared, his fist, filled with vital energy and the power of flames, charging towards Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
"Chaos Bell, rise!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi also roared. The Chaos Bell, which was previously normal-sized, suddenly grew, its opening facing the incoming fist.
Ju Mang also refused to be outdone. He activated his Ancestor Witch True Body again, conjured a mountain from who knows where, and hurled it directly at Eastern Emperor Taiyi's head!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body grew rapidly. Although he didn't reach the thousands of feet of the Ancestor Witches' true bodies, he could still be considered a giant.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi extended his left hand, propping up the mountain thrown by Ju Mang, while his right hand held the Chaos Bell to meet Zhu Rong's fiery giant fist!
For a moment, the armies of both sides saw Eastern Emperor Taiyi alone resisting the combined assault of two Ancestor Witches!
"Break!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi roared, veins bulging, and the Chaos Bell in his hand shone with golden light, illuminating the entire battlefield in gold!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The ringing of the Chaos Bell was incessant. Zhu Rong, directly facing it, felt extremely uncomfortable, the ringing echoing in his ears.
In a short time, Zhu Rong was bleeding from all seven orifices, his vision blurred!
Gong Gong, who had returned to the battlefield, saw this and inwardly cried out "Not good!" He maneuvered nimbly and appeared behind Zhu Rong, joining forces with Zhu Jiuyin to pull Zhu Rong out of his predicament.
On the other side, Ju Mang also felt the pressure. Without Zhu Rong's distraction, Ju Mang felt as if heavy objects had been poured into his body, making it difficult to move.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi exerted force with his left hand, circulating thirty-six major heavenly cycles of Spiritual Energy within his body. He delivered another palm strike, and Ju Mang was sent flying back thousands of miles!
Seeing Ju Mang repelled, a killing intent flared in Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes. The Chaos Bell suddenly swung towards the heavily injured Zhu Rong.
A golden stream of light flashed. Zhu Rong's pupils contracted. This time, he truly felt death approaching!
"Halt!"
A clear, cold voice rang out. The fiercely descending Chaos Bell seemed to be restrained, suddenly stopping for a moment.
This brief moment was enough for Zhu Rong to escape the Chaos Bell's aura.
Seeing this, Eastern Emperor Taiyi ceased his attack. He clenched his left hand, and the Chaos Bell returned to his grasp.
Di Jiang, in his long robes, slowly appeared before Zhu Rong and spoke softly, "Daoist Friend Zhu Rong, are you alright?"
Zhu Rong clutched his chest and said, "No matter, the strength of this old crow is indeed not to be underestimated!"
Di Jiang also frowned deeply. One-third of their Witch Clan's twelve Ancestor Witches had already engaged Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Even the four Ancestor Witches working together against Eastern Emperor Taiyi had resulted in some being injured and others suffering a crushing defeat.
However, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was not feeling well at the moment either. Although his cultivation was a step above these Ancestor Witches, the Ancestor Witches who had used their Ancestor Witch True Bodies possessed an extremely powerful force in the form of their vital energy and blood.
This is truly difficult to deal with!
Seeing this, Di Jun instead let out a cold laugh. These barbarians of the Witch Clan, did they really think they could fight the Demon Race?
Wishful thinking!
"Demon Race subordinates, attack!" Di Jun raised his left hand and then suddenly swung it down!
In an instant, the hundreds of millions of troops from the Demon Race directly charged towards the Witch Clan's army. For a time, creatures flying in the sky and running on the ground, covered in scales and armor, rushed into the Witch Clan's formation!
Immediately, mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared, with wails echoing across the land. Countless bodies lay strewn about in a pool of blood, belonging to both demonic beasts and the Witch Clan.
