One punch! Just one punch!
The Water Ancestor Witch Gong Gong, renowned for his formidable body and domineering Water Law, had been sent flying and grievously wounded by Ao Chen with a single punch, delivered so casually!
"What?"
"Gong Gong!"
"This is impossible!"
The other ten Ancestral Witches had been planning to watch the show, some even with a hint of mockery on their faces. Now, at this shocking sight, their expressions froze!
The disdain, suspicion, and curiosity in their eyes all vanished, replaced by deep shock, disbelief, and a touch of instinctive fury!
The Twelve Ancestral Witches shared one breath and one branch. They were the Pangu Orthodox Lineage!
Gong Gong had been so easily grievously wounded before them. It was no different from a hard slap in the face to every Ancestral Witch!
A terrifying collective baleful aura began to spread beyond their control!
But the Wu Clan was still the Wu Clan. After their anger came the even fiercer blaze of their blood-borne instinct to fight, and their yearning for and respect of absolute power!
The Dragon before them was absurdly strong—strong enough to make them feel threatened. But that was precisely why he was a worthy opponent, one who deserved their full strength.
"Good! Good! Good! No wonder that Zhu Rong fellow got the worst of it!"
Thunder Ancestor Witch Qiang Liang was the first to recover. Far from being cowed by Ao Chen's strength, he let out an even more ferocious roar. Billions of purple bolts of thunder erupted around him, turning the area into a purgatory of lightning. His voice rang out like myriad thunderclaps.
"To think such a powerful body cultivator still exists in the Primordial Wilderness! Let me, Qiang Liang, test your strength!"
Rumble!
Qiang Liang took one step, summoning the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens!
Countless bolts of destructive thunder, each as thick as a mountain, wove into a net that blotted out the sky. Carrying the terrifying power to purify and destroy all things, it descended straight toward Ao Chen!
This was his Primordial Law—the Great Dao of Thunder!
"Thunder Law? Perfect. Let me see what mysteries it holds."
Facing the lightning net that could destroy heaven and earth, Ao Chen remained calm.
His figure swayed slightly, as if merging with space and time. In a move that was both late and early, he appeared before Qiang Liang before the net could fully close!
Even Dijiang, renowned for his speed, couldn't help but glance his way!
"Too slow," Ao Chen said coolly.
Then he threw another punch!
Once more, he used no flashy divine arts. Yet a faint, hazy radiance, as though it held the birth and death of billions of stars, encircled his fist.
Thud!
Qiang Liang could barely react before the punch landed squarely on his chest!
The moment his berserk Thunder Law touched that starlit radiance, it encountered its natural enemy. It was forcibly suppressed and extinguished!
Qiang Liang felt an irresistible, terrifying force surge into his body. His protective divine thunder collapsed instantly, and his chest bones cracked under the strain!
"Pfft!"
Qiang Liang followed in Gong Gong's footsteps. Blood sprayed from his mouth as his enormous body was blasted away like a cannonball!
Two moves, and two Ancestral Witches grievously wounded!
Now the remaining Ancestral Witches had no trace of contempt left!
Their expressions turned utterly grave, and blazing fighting spirit kindled in their eyes!
"Attack together!"
Metal Ancestor Witch Ru Shou roared. The Golden Spear in his hand flared with a cold radiance that stretched for tens of thousands of feet, cleaving through the void!
Wind Ancestor Witch Tian Wu roared. With eight human faces, a tiger's body, and ten tails, he whipped up innate gales fierce enough to scatter the stars!
Lightning Ancestor Witch Xi Zi transformed into a streak of light, moving at the utmost speed as he darted in for a surprise attack, trailing destructive electrical energy!
Wood Ancestor Witch Gou Mang summoned boundless vitality, transforming it into countless resilient cages that wound toward Ao Chen!
Rain Ancestor Witch Xuan Ming summoned a biting hail. Every drop seemed capable of freezing the soul!
Ru Shou, Tian Wu, Xi Zi, Gou Mang, Xuan Ming!
And Zhu Rong, who had long since been unable to hold back and had charged in again!
Six great Ancestral Witches launched their most powerful attacks simultaneously from every direction!
In an instant, the Primordial Laws of metal, wood, water, fire, wind, and lightning intertwined, forming a deadly field that completely engulfed Ao Chen!
"Now this is more like it!"
At last, a flicker of excitement lit Ao Chen's eyes as the six Ancestral Witches closed in around him!
His figure darted like a phantom through the dense attacks of the laws, dodging as he swung his fists with effortless control!
At times, he met Ru Shou's Golden Spear head-on, savoring the razor-sharp edge of indestructible Geng Metal;
At times, he broke through Tian Wu's gales, grasping the formless, intangible nature of the Wind Law;
At times, he shattered Xuan Ming's hail with a flick of his finger, analyzing the freezing power of the Water Variant...
Every strike landed with perfect timing. He broke through force with skill or skill with force, always turning aside danger at the crucial moment and seizing any chance to counterattack!
Thud! Zhu Rong was sent flying again by a punch, and the flames around him dimmed!
Whoosh! A finger gust imbued with Stellar Force pierced Gou Mang's Wood Prison!
Clang! Ao Chen blocked Ru Shou's Golden Spear with his bare fist, numbing Ru Shou's arm with the impact!
As the battle raged, Ao Chen continually drew nourishment from it, refining his understanding of the various laws—especially the parts concerning his Immortal Body!
Yet the Ancestral Witches had not won their renown over the Primordial Wilderness without reason!
Whenever an Ancestral Witch Ao Chen had wounded landed on the earth, he let out a low growl. Boundless yellow divine light immediately surged from the ground beneath his feet and poured into his body!
In the blink of an eye, most of his wounds would heal, and his depleted essence would be replenished. Then he would charge back in with another roar!
They seemed connected to Buzhou Mountain and to the entire land of the Primordial Wilderness. So long as their feet touched the ground, they could draw an endless supply of power to heal and recover!
This almost unfair ability to recover made the battle drag on without end!
"So they can even draw on Earth Power to recover? Is this the Pangu Legacy?"
A brighter glint came into Ao Chen's eyes, and his interest in the Wu Clan grew ever stronger.
The six Ancestral Witches had been unable to defeat Ao Chen, and were even showing signs of being suppressed. At last, the three most powerful Ancestral Witches, who had been standing aside to command the battle, could hold back no longer!
"Let's attack together!"
Space Ancestor Witch Dijiang spoke in a low voice. His six-legged, four-winged figure swayed, and the surrounding space instantly turned into a maze of overlapping layers that pressed in on Ao Chen!
Time Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin opened and closed his crimson dragon eyes. The invisible power of time spread outward, trying to slow Ao Chen's movements—or even reverse his attacks!
Earth Ancestor Witch Hou Tu pressed her palms together. The earth beneath her feet rumbled violently as an ultimate force of immeasurable weight, as if bearing the full weight of the Primordial Wilderness, became tangible barriers and pressure that sealed Ao Chen in from every direction!
Hou Tu, Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin! The three most powerful Ancestral Witches attacked at once!
At last, all Twelve Ancestral Witches joined forces and charged into battle!
Though the Twelve Ancestral Witches had only reached the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, their domineering bodies and innate laws made them several times stronger together than Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
The laws throughout the battlefield went completely berserk. Space and time twisted and shattered!
Yet in the heart of the encirclement, facing an attack capable of destroying heaven and earth, Ao Chen's face bloomed with an incomparably radiant smile!
"Bring it on!"
The power of his mid-stage Mythical Heavenly Immortal cultivation, like an ancient star river that had lain dormant, finally awoke completely!
Terrifying fist imprints unfolded. With three punches and two kicks, Ao Chen swept across the eight directions, and every move he made could grievously wound an Ancestral Witch.
With every collision, his heaven-defying comprehension seized the laws at work, as well as the true meaning of the Immortal Body he sensed through contact.
To Ao Chen's surprise, the Law of Time he sensed while clashing with Zhu Jiuyin also gave him a glimmer of inspiration for the previously elusive Sever Three-Life Body technique.
The inspiration was faint, but he had finally made his first breakthrough. It would continue to grow until the technique was fully perfected.
The battle continued, and both sides fought with everything they had. Neither was willing to back down.
Terrifying power swept across the eight directions. Mountain after mountain, thousands of feet tall, was pierced and flattened, while lakes sprang into being. Even though they were only fighting hand to hand, the destruction they wrought was still earth-shaking.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches Admit Defeat; Ao Chen Stays with the Wu Clan to Comprehend the Dao
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the center of the battlefield, Ao Chen moved with easy grace, like an exiled immortal slipping through the cracks in space and time.
As his fists opened and closed, the phantom image of the Star River Universe flickered in and out of sight. Every strike carried enough terrifying power to shatter stars and obliterate laws.
Facing the Twelve Ancestral Witches' joint assault like a storm, he had not fallen behind. Instead, the more he fought, the bolder he became!
His seemingly slender frame now resembled an immovable Primordial Divine Mountain. Even as torrents of laws washed over him, he stood unshaken.
"Again!"
