The Second Witch-Demon War!

Years flowed like water, and another ten thousand years passed. Within this epoch, the Witch and Demon clans once again descended into conflict. A storm was brewing across the Primordial World, the atmosphere heavy with oppression.

Just as the Witch clan was sharpening their blades, within the Heavenly Court, an endless army of demons surged out from the South Heavenly Gate, pouring onto the boundless earth.

The heavens and earth darkened, the sun and moon lost their light. Above the Nine Heavens, the Gang Clouds swayed violently.

The endless Heavenly Court army clashed with the Witch clan. Only a hundred years later, at the foot of Mount Buzhou, corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers.

Witnessing this scene, even Daoist Zhunti's face showed a trace of shock.

"Within a Measure Tribulation, life is truly as cheap as grass..."

After he spoke, Golden Cicada beside him nodded in agreement.

Ye Xuan watched the scene, his face calm and unmoved.

Looking at Ye Xuan, Daoist Zhunti spoke.

"Eldest Brother!"

"Between the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Heavenly Court, who has the greater chance of victory?"

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face. "In my view, neither has much chance. There is only one outcome: both sides will annihilate each other."

Daoist Zhunti was stunned again. Both sides would annihilate each other?

In Zhunti's view, the Twelve Ancestral Witches should have a greater chance of winning. After all, the Heavenly Court only had four Innate God-Demons. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were twelve individuals. If they kept cultivating, the gap between them would eventually become something even an Innate Supreme Treasure could not fill. The Heavenly Court would fall into a disadvantage, with no strength left to fight back.

"In these recent days, the people of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans have already entered the Heavenly Court."

"If other Innate God-Demons also join the Heavenly Court, the gap between the two sides won't be so large. But the Twelve Ancestral Witches are only twelve people."

Seeing the confusion on Daoist Zhunti's face, Ye Xuan explained.

Each of the Twelve Ancestral Witches possessed the blood of Pangu, claiming to be his descendants. The entire Witch clan originated from the Blood Pool. How could they allow other Innate God-Demons to enter their ranks?

Moreover, others might not know, but Ye Xuan was aware that in the future, there would be a Heavenly Marriage. The Moon Goddess Xi He and the Demon Master Kun Peng would also join the Heavenly Court.

After Ye Xuan spoke, Daoist Zhunti fell into thought. Upon careful reflection, Ancestor Dragon and the others had once had a greater chance of victory and stronger fortune, yet they too had annihilated each other in the end. It was not strange that the Witch and Demon clans would do the same.

Watching the two sides erupt into an endless great war, Ye Xuan shook his head and spoke.

"No need to pay it any mind. We only need to remain in secluded cultivation and not leave, and we will not be drawn into the Measure Tribulation."

"I have already severed my Evil Corpse. I will take this time to expound on the Path of Three Corpses. Your urgent task is to raise your own strength, so that in the future you can protect the countless living beings of the West."

While expounding the Great Dao, he could also perfect his own path, allowing him to merge his Evil Corpse into the Three Thousand Heavens sooner.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Golden Cicada and Daoist Zhunti both nodded.

Time passed swiftly. In the blink of an eye, another three thousand years went by. Throughout these three thousand years, Ye Xuan had been continuously expounding the Path of Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses.

Listening to the Great Dao Ye Xuan transmitted, Golden Cicada and the others were lost in rapture.

While expounding the Dao, Ye Xuan repeatedly calculated and refined this path, perfectly integrating it with his own Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams.

Above the Vault of Heaven, the ancient tree scattered endless Wisdom Light. For a time, within the Dao Seeking Palace, boundless power of the Great Dao Laws blazed brilliantly.

After three thousand years, Ye Xuan ceased his exposition. Everyone entered a profound and mysterious state.

From Ye Xuan's body, a supreme aura grew ever more vast, shooting straight into the clouds.

In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years passed. Within the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain, endless Dao resonance surged. A supreme presence swept across the heavens from Ye Xuan's form.

"Boom!"

The boundless power of the Great Dao Laws flooded into heaven and earth.

From Ye Xuan's body, a Black-robed Daoist, holding the Great Derivation Gourd, merged into the Three Thousand Heavens.

"Hum!"

The moment he entered, the Sound of the Great Dao echoed throughout the Three Thousand Heavens.

Within every layer of heaven, countless visions appeared. As the Great Derivation Gourd entered, each layer of heaven began to perfect itself. Though still illusory, there was a faint sense of reality.

Moreover, as the Three Thousand Heavens rose, the Central Heaven Realm expanded once more, its space growing larger by a circle.

Watching this, Zhunti and the others wore solemn expressions.

So this was the Three Thousand Heavens?

If all Three Thousand Heavens were to ascend to the Great Thousand World at once, who among the Sages could stand against it?

And before even becoming a Sage, just this technique of suppressing with the Three Thousand Heavens was unstoppable. Once it pressed down, even a Quasi-Sage powerhouse would be trapped beneath the heavens, unable to break free.

Half a day later, the divine light in Ye Xuan's eyes faded, and his expression returned to calm.

"Congratulations, Eldest Brother! Your strength has reached another level!"

"The gap between me and Eldest Brother is like heaven and earth."

Looking at Ye Xuan, Daoist Zhunti's eyes were filled with shock.

If he was not mistaken, his Eldest Brother had merged the Path of Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses with his Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams. How profound must his mastery of the Path of Three Corpses be, to perfectly integrate one sage-making method into another?

"Second Younger Brother, I can see that you have also made some progress on the Path of Three Corpses. After one final sermon at the Purple Cloud Palace, you will be able to sever your Second Corpse. There is no need to sell yourself short!"

Ye Xuan let out a light laugh, then spoke as well.

Hearing this, Daoist Zhunti could only force a bitter smile. Though there had been some improvement, when he would finally be able to suppress the Evil Corpse, even Zhunti himself did not know.

Beside them, Golden Cicada could not perceive just how formidable Ye Xuan had become; he only felt that Ye Xuan seemed even more transcendent. If, at the time of his apprenticeship, the other had been like a Bright Moon, unattainably lofty, then after Ye Xuan's advancement, he felt as if Ye Xuan had become like the heavens themselves—supreme and above all.

"Congratulations, Master, on your greatly increased strength!"

Golden Cicada also spoke out.

"Well done."

Looking at Golden Cicada, whose strength had also risen to the Golden Immortal Mid-stage realm, Ye Xuan's face showed clear satisfaction.

"Golden Immortal Mid-stage—it seems you have not been idle during this time."

Raising his hand, Ye Xuan sent a streak of Sword Qi merging into Golden Cicada's Primordial Spirit.

"Within this Sword Qi lies a trace of my Sword Intent."

"If you can comprehend it, you will obtain a Great Dao True Seed, gain some attainment in the Sword Dao, and elevate your Golden Great Dao to a higher level."

Hearing this, Golden Cicada was overjoyed and spoke with a smile.

"Your disciple thanks you, Master!"

Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak, another Electronic Sound rang in his ears.
