But what did it matter, even if he knew?
At that moment, Ye Jun was nothing but a bystander. To him, it made no difference which side—Demon or Witch—profited from this grand war between the two races.
While Ye Jun was lost in thought, the two battles above had already been raging back and forth for quite some time.
Di Jun seized an opening and struck Zhu Jiuyin squarely across his broad back. In an instant, Zhu Jiuyin felt demonic qi spreading through his body.
It was mixed with the searing power of Solar True Fire, leaving Zhu Jiuyin in a world of pain.
"This old, rotten bird is way too strong!" Ru Shou said with a bitter smile. Even with so many Ancestral Witches joining forces to attack, they still couldn't gain the upper hand.
Di Jiang's brow furrowed. Di Jun had already countered his attacks several times.
Unlike the Witches, who were in an awkward position, Di Jun was brimming with fighting spirit. Pointing toward Zhu Jiuyin, he called out, "Barbarian, fight me again!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Di Jun thrust out his left hand. Solar True Fire erupted from his palm, and the moment Di Jiang appeared, he felt the heat of the flames rushing toward him!
His heart jolted. The six wings on his back beat frantically, and a burst of spatial power flashed. Before the newly appeared Di Jiang could even fully stabilize, he vanished again.
Di Jun gave a cold laugh. The Solar True Fire in his hand streaked through the air in a trail of flame, then disappeared.
Di Jiang reappeared beside Zhu Jiuyin. Blood ran from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and his face was deathly pale. Zhu Jiuyin quickly caught him.
"How are you?" Zhu Jiuyin asked with concern.
"Di Jun has completely figured out how the few of us attack," Di Jiang said with a bitter smile.
He had already lost most of his Dao power. The damage from using his Dao arts again at the very last moment before his Space Laws ran out had been severe.
The six wings on Di Jiang's back no longer moved as quickly as before.
"Alas, what should we do now?" Ru Shou appeared beside Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin and asked.
Di Jiang took a deep breath, then slowly said, "Now that the Witch-Demon War has begun, we cannot afford to lose!"
Seeing the determination in Di Jiang's eyes, Zhu Jiuyin and Ru Shou exchanged a glance. They both understood what he had in mind.
"Zhu Rong, come back!" Di Jiang called toward the other battlefield high in the heavens.
The Ancestral Witches who had gone to surround Eastern Emperor Taiyi returned to Di Jiang's side. Seeing Zhu Rong and the others covered in wounds, Di Jiang sighed inwardly.
But then his expression grew even more resolute!
"Form the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array! Summon Father God!" Di Jiang roared.
Thunder rumbled across the heavens. Flames, frost, and stars surged in turn, and all the Thirty-six Heavens were instantly swallowed by darkness.
A vast black tempest descended from the heavens, covering an area thousands of miles wide.
The twelve Ancestral Witches each took up a different position. Their blood qi poured from the tops of their heads, then gathered within the vortex.
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi stood at the very center of the storm, gazing up at an enormous red sphere formed entirely from blood qi.
"Elder brother, what is that? Why does it need the blood qi of all twelve Ancestral Witches?" Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked gravely.
The blood qi above gave him a sense of danger!
A mortal danger!
Di Jun shook his head as well. He had not been in control of the Demon Heavenly Court for very long, and the Demons had had little contact with the Witches before this.
He knew little about the Witches' methods.
The many Great Beings in the heavens were just as baffled. Only Ye Jun's brow was furrowed.
"The Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array! It seems this war has finally made these battle-loving Witches realize they're in danger. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought out this great array!"
Ye Jun muttered to himself.
Now that the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array was complete—
There was probably little doubt about how this Witch-Demon War would end!
The Three Pure Ones beside him could only sense the dense blood qi at the center of the storm.
They had no idea what lay within that blood qi. The Three Pure Ones were just as clueless!
Di Jiang's eyes were bloodshot within the storm, and strange red threads linked his entire body together.
Moments later, an overwhelming wave of Savage Qi burst from the black-red vortex. Di Jun frowned, and the River Diagram and Luo Book above his head immediately shone with light, shielding him and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
The Demon armies below, however, were not so fortunate. Tens of thousands of Demons were directly annihilated by that wave of Savage Qi!
Not a trace remained. Not even their bones were left!
The Witch armies, on the other hand, seemed to have received some kind of blessing. Every giant was wreathed in Savage Qi.
Their fighting strength was now even greater than before. Many Demons were smashed to pieces by a single punch from a Witch giant.
Seeing this, Di Jun decided to stop the array from forming. His instincts told him that if it was completed, his Demon army might be wiped out completely!
"Eastern Emperor, go!" Di Jun barked. The River Diagram and Luo Book above his head instantly manifested countless mountains and rivers. Eastern Emperor Taiyi took a deep breath and poured all his Dao power into the Chaos Bell.
Countless suns, moons, and stars, along with mountains and rivers, appeared across the surface of the Chaos Bell!
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi pushed their spiritual treasures to their limits. Countless stars and mountain peaks descended from the heavens.
They crashed toward the center where the twelve Ancestral Witches stood.
Yet they could not even break through the barrier of blood qi surrounding the outermost edge of the array!
Di Jiang suddenly opened his eyes within the Twelve Capital Gods and Fiends Great Array. Slowly, he said, "We call upon Father God!"
The other Ancestral Witches followed his lead and called out in unison, "We call upon Father God!"
As soon as their voices fell, a bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, piercing straight through the array!
When the light faded, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw a hazy giant behind the twelve Ancestral Witches!
"What's going on?" Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked in confusion.
Di Jun could only shake his head. Given the situation, all he could do was respond to whatever came next!
The moment the giant appeared, the Three Pure Ones high in the heavens all felt their hearts tremble.
"What is that? Why do I feel this inexplicable stirring?" Taishang Laojun said slowly, pressing a hand to his chest.
He turned to look at Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu. They were in the same state.
"This giant seems to possess a Dao art that shares our origin. Why does it feel so familiar?" Tongtian said slowly, frowning.
The Three Pure Ones had only come to watch from the sidelines. They hadn't expected to be affected.
