One punch! Just one punch!

Gong Gong, the Water Ancestral Witch famed for his brutal physical strength and domineering Water Law, was sent flying and severely wounded by Ao Chen with such a casual blow!

"What?"

"Gong Gong!"

"Impossible!"

This shocking sight froze the expressions of the other ten Ancestral Witches, who had originally planned to watch the show, even with a hint of mockery!

The contempt, doubt, and curiosity in their eyes faded completely in that instant, replaced by deep shock, disbelief, and a spark of instinctive fury!

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were of one spirit, the Pangu Orthodox Lineage!

For Gong Gong to be so easily crippled before them was no different from a brutal slap to the face of every Ancestral Witch!

A terrifying collective Sha Qi began to radiate uncontrollably!

Yet the Wu Clan was still the Wu Clan. After the anger, the battle instinct etched into their blood, along with their craving and respect for absolute power, burned even more fiercely!

This dragon before them was absurdly strong, strong enough to make them feel threatened. But precisely because of that, he was a true opponent worthy of their full strength.

"Good! Good! Good! No wonder that bastard Zhu Rong got humbled!"

Qiang Liang, the Thunder Ancestral Witch, was the first to react. Far from being intimidated by Ao Chen's power, he let out an even more savage roar. Billions of purple lightning bolts erupted around him, turning into a thunderous purgatory, his voice like ten thousand thunderclaps in unison.

"In the primordial wilderness, there's still a physical powerhouse like you! Let me, Qiang Liang, test you!"

Boom!

Qiang Liang took a step forward, summoning the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!

Countless mountain-thick bolts of destructive lightning wove into a net that covered heaven and earth, carrying the terrifying might to purify and annihilate everything, crashing down toward Ao Chen!

This was his origin Law—the Dao of Thunder!

"Thunder Law? Perfect. Let me see its mysteries as well."

Facing this world-destroying net of lightning, Ao Chen's expression remained calm.

His form flickered slightly, as if merging with time and space. Moving after the attack, he arrived before Qiang Liang before the lightning net could fully close!

His speed was so fast that even Dijiang, famed for his velocity, turned his head in surprise!

"Too slow," Ao Chen said flatly.

Then, he threw another punch!

This fist still didn't use too many flashy divine abilities, but a faint, hazy radiance coiled around his knuckles—a light that seemed to contain the birth and death of billions of stars!

Bang!

Qiang Liang couldn't even fully react before the punch landed solidly on his chest!

The moment the violent Thunder Law touched that starlight radiance, it was as if it had met its nemesis—forcibly suppressed and ground away!

Qiang Liang only felt an irresistible torrent of power surge into his body. His protective divine lightning shattered instantly, and his sternum let out the same unbearable crack of breaking bones!

"Pfft!"

Qiang Liang followed in Gong Gong's footsteps, spraying a torrent of blood as his massive body was blasted away like a cannonball!

Two moves in a row, two Ancestral Witches severely wounded!

At this, the remaining Ancestral Witches had no trace of contempt left!

Their eyes turned utterly grave, yet also blazed with raging warfire!

"All together!"

Ru Shou, the Metal Ancestral Witch, barked a sharp command. The Golden Spear in his hand erupted with ten thousand zhang of icy light, tearing through the void as it slashed forward!

Tian Wu, the Wind Ancestral Witch, roared. With eight heads, a human face, a tiger's body, and ten tails, he stirred up primal gales strong enough to scatter stars!

Xi Zi, the Lightning Ancestral Witch, turned into a streak of light, moving at extreme speed, weaving through with destructive electrical energy in a sudden assault!

Gou Mang, the Wood Ancestral Witch, summoned boundless life force, yet twisted it into countless tough cages that coiled in to bind!

Xuan Ming, the Rain Ancestral Witch, called forth bone-piercing icy rain, each drop seemingly able to freeze the Primordial Spirit itself!

Ru Shou, Tian Wu, Xi Zi, Gou Mang, Xuan Ming!

Plus Zhu Rong, who had long been unable to hold back and charged in again!

Six Ancestral Witches, from all directions, launched their ultimate attacks at once!

In an instant, metal, wood, water, fire, wind, and lightning—all kinds of origin Laws interwove into a killing field, completely enveloping Ao Chen!

"Now this is a bit interesting!"

Facing the siege of six Ancestral Witches, a glint of excitement finally flashed in Ao Chen's eyes!

His form moved like a ghost, weaving and dodging through the dense barrage of Laws, while his fists swung freely!

At times, he clashed head-on with Ru Shou's Golden Spear, feeling that indestructible Geng Metal sharpness!

Sometimes he would tear through Tian Wu's fierce gales, comprehending the formless, imageless nature of the Wind Law; sometimes he would shatter Xuan Ming's icy rain, analyzing the freezing power of the Water Variant...

Every strike he made was perfectly timed—either breaking force with skill or skill with force—always defusing crises at critical moments, even seizing opportunities to counterattack!

Boom! Zhu Rong was sent flying again by a single punch, the flames on his body dimming noticeably!

Ssshh! Gou Mang's Wood Prison was pierced through by a finger wind imbued with Stellar Force!

Clang! Ru Shou's Golden Spear was blocked by Ao Chen's bare fist, the impact numbing his arm!

In the midst of battle, Ao Chen continuously absorbed nourishment, refining his understanding of various laws, especially the part concerning the Immortal Body!

Yet, the Ancestral Witches had not earned their dominance over the Primordial Wilderness through empty reputation!

Whenever an Ancestral Witch, occasionally severely wounded by Ao Chen, landed on the ground, they would let out a low roar. The earth beneath their feet would instantly surge with endless, earthy-yellow Divine Light, pouring into their bodies without cease!

In the blink of an eye, most of their injuries would heal, and their depleted essence would be replenished, allowing them to charge back into the fray with renewed roars!

It was as if they were connected to Buzhou Mountain itself, to the entire Primordial Wilderness—as long as they stood on the earth, they could draw endless power for recovery and reinforcement!

This almost cheat-like regenerative ability dragged the siege into a protracted stalemate!

"So they can even recover by drawing on Earth Power? Is this the Pangu Legacy?"

Ao Chen's eyes gleamed even brighter, his interest in the Wu Clan deepening.

Seeing that the six Ancestral Witches had failed to gain the upper hand and were even showing signs of being suppressed by Ao Chen, the three most powerful Ancestral Witches, who had been watching from the sidelines, could no longer stand by!

"Let's move together!"

Space Ancestor Witch Dijiang's voice was low. With a flicker of his six-legged, four-winged form, the surrounding space instantly transformed into a layered maze, crushing in on Ao Chen!

Time Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin's crimson dragon eyes opened and closed, and an intangible aura of time spread out, attempting to slow Ao Chen's movements and even reverse his attacks!

Earth Ancestor Witch Hou Tu clasped her hands together. The earth beneath her roared violently, and a Supreme Might, thick to the extreme, as if bearing the weight of the entire Primordial Wilderness, materialized into solid barriers and crushing pressure, sealing Ao Chen from all directions!

Hou Tu, Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin! The three strongest Ancestral Witches struck simultaneously!

With that, all twelve Ancestral Witches joined forces to attack!

Though each of the twelve Ancestral Witches was still only at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, their savage, overbearing physical bodies, combined with their innate laws, made their combined strength several times greater than that of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

The entire battlefield descended into chaos—laws ran rampant, space and time twisted and shattered!

Yet, at the very heart of the siege, facing this world-destroying assault, a brilliant smile bloomed on Ao Chen's face!

"Well struck!"

The power within him, at the mid-stage Mythical Heavenly Immortal level, surged awake like a slumbering ancient Star River, finally fully roused!

Unleashing terrifying fist seals, Ao Chen struck out with three punches and two kicks. His dreadful might swept across the eight desolates, each movement capable of gravely wounding an Ancestral Witch.

And with every collision, his heaven-defying comprehension captured the laws within, along with the true essence of the Immortal Body he sensed during contact.

What surprised Ao Chen even more was that the elusive Sever Three-Life Body technique, which had previously been so hard to grasp, now sparked a glimmer of insight under the time law he perceived while clashing with Zhu Jiuyin.

Though faint, that spark marked the beginning of entry into the technique, which would grow and refine until it was perfected.

The battle raged on. Both sides fought with true fury, neither willing to yield.

The terrifying might swept across the eight desolates. Thousands of towering mountains were pierced and leveled; lakes were born in their wake. Even though it was merely hand-to-hand combat, the destruction it wrought was earth-shattering.

Chapter 29: The Twelve Ancestral Witches Concede, Ao Chen Lingers in the Wu Clan to Comprehend the Dao

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the center of the battlefield, Ao Chen's figure drifted like an immortal exiled among the cracks of time and space.

As his fists opened and closed, the phantom of a Star River Universe flickered in and out of view. Each strike carried a terrifying force capable of shattering stars and erasing laws.

Facing the storm-like combined assault of the twelve Ancestral Witches, he not only held his ground but grew fiercer with each exchange!

His seemingly slender frame now stood like an unshakable Primordial Divine Mountain, unmoved as the torrent of laws washed over him.

"Again!"
