It could be said they had barely managed to reach a draw.
But that was just the Witch Race trying to console itself.
By contrast, the Monster Race's rankings were no worse.
Aside from the rather unimpressive Ten Great Demon Sages,
the six Monster Race powerhouses who made the list had quite respectable rankings.
Demon Empress Xi He ranked eighty-seventh.
Demon Emperor Fuxi ranked forty-first.
Demon Master Kunpeng ranked thirty-eighth.
Demon Emperor Di Jun ranked thirty-fifth.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi ranked thirty-third.
And Chang'e, who had risen to prominence out of nowhere, ranked thirty-second.
When it came to the rankings of their top fighters, the Monster Race was stronger than the Witch Race.

Judging by this, when comparing the top fighters of the Witch and Monster Races,
the Witch Race was still at a slight disadvantage.

She ranked thirtieth in combat strength.
Otherwise, the Witch Race's standing would have looked truly dismal.
These rankings were indeed a significant blow to the Witch Race.
The Ancestral Witches all fell silent.
Just then,
a Great Witch suddenly came rushing over in a panic.
"Ancestral—Ancestral Witches! Eastern Emperor Taiyi—Eastern Emperor Taiyi is here!!!"
Hearing the report,
the eight Ancestral Witches were stunned.
The eight powerhouses looked at one another, utterly dumbfounded.
None of them had expected Eastern Emperor Taiyi of the Monster Race to come to the Witch Race.
"What's that fellow here for?"
Qiangliang, who had a rather fiery temper, spoke up.
"Is he trying to start another war between the Witch and Monster Races?"
"Did he come alone, or did he bring a whole army
