Hongjun did not look at Twelve Ancestral Witches, nor did he look at Di Jun and Tai Yi behind him.
His eyes fell on the ax blade fixed by Purple Light, he raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and tapped the ax blade lightly.
The movement was extremely casual, like an elder giving instructions to a younger generation.
But with just this gentle touch, Pangu Axe Phantom began to disintegrate from the ax blade.
The Law of Power fragments that formed the shadow of the ax blade were directly dispersed by Heavenly Dao's will.
The ax blade turned into a rain of light, followed closely by the ax handle, and the entire Giant Axe shadow dissipated into nothingness in a few breaths.
Twelve Ancestral Witches all spurted out a mouthful of blood, Pangu Axe Phantom was connected by their blood.
The backlash of the phantom being forcibly dispelled was like twelve heavy hammers hitting their chests at the same time.
Dijiang's body shook a few times, and Zhujiuyin's face was as pale as paper.
Chi You knelt down on one knee on Reincarnation Array Position, and dark golden blood of Ancestral Witch gushed out from the corner of his mouth.
Pangu Phantom lost Pangu Axe, but it did not dissipate.
Twelve Ancestral Witches The dark gold blood flame burning essence and blood is still burning around the shadow, and Dutian Divine Fiends Formation Diagram is still running at the feet of Twelve Ancestral Witches.
However, Hongjun did not stop.
His eyes moved away from the dissipated Pangu Axe Phantom and landed on Dutian Divine Fiends Formation Diagram at the feet of Twelve Ancestral Witches.
He raised his right index finger again, this time pointing towards Baleful Qi Law Network, which formed the foundation of Dutian Divine Fiends Formation.
The Baleful Qi Resonance Network that Twelve Ancestral Witches weaves with its own formation is about to be directly disintegrated in front of the will of Heavenly Dao at the fingertips of Hongjun.
At the moment when Hongjun's fingertips were about to click, a Three-Colored Light shot through the sky from West.
The speed of the light was extremely fast. One moment it was at the end of the horizon, and the next moment it had landed in the center of the battlefield in front of Buzhou Mountain.
Three-Colored Light dispersed, Xuande stood in front of Twelve Ancestral Witches, and Twenty-Four-Petal Yin-Yang Merit Golden Lotus fully bloomed under his feet.
His aura had undergone extremely profound changes compared to before the retreat.
Three-Colored Light is still circulating, but at the core of this Three-Colored Light there is an extremely green Creation Light.
Merit is yang, destruction is yin, purification is transformation, Creation Azure Lotus's life pole provides endless vitality and Origin Essence's cycle of the four.
Four Great Dao build a stable Four Symbols Cycle in the twenty-four-pin lotus platform, and four colors of Dao Mark are flowing on each lotus petal at the same time.
Creation Cauldron hangs above the head, and the mouth swallows Chaos-colored Creation Light.
Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler is holding on to the left hand, and the rules on the ruler are spread out silently with Measurement Dao.
Incorporate all Heavenly Dao law fluctuations around Hongjun into the analysis.
God-Slaying Spear lies horizontally in front of him, and the dark red Innate Baleful Qi on the tip of the gun faintly resonates with Destruction Great Dao.
He stands between Twelve Ancestral Witches and Hongjun.
The Four-Colored Light on the lotus platform at your feet are intertwined into a layered barrier, firmly protecting Dutian Divine Fiends Formation Diagram behind you.
"Daoist Xuande."
Hongjun retracted the finger that had not yet been pointed out, his voice was as calm as water, and no emotion could be heard.
Those ancient and unwavering eyes fell on Xuan Merit Body, scanning from the Twenty-Four-Petal Yin-Yang Merit Golden Lotus at his feet to the Creation Cauldron above his head.
He swept from his left hand Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to God-Slaying Spear in front of him, and finally stopped at the Four-Colored Lotus Seal between his eyebrows, "You want to stop the poor?"
Xuande did not answer. His silence was the answer in itself.
Hongjun stood with his hands behind his hands, still not exuding any pressure from his body, and spoke calmly:
"Pangu Axe Phantom wants to destroy Heavenly Emperor Eastern Emperor. This is an act against heaven.
Pindao is the incarnation of Heavenly Dao, and takes action to protect Heavenly Court, which is in line with the operation of Heavenly Dao.
However, Dutian Divine Fiends Formation takes Ancestral Witch Blood Essence as its foundation and gathers evil spirits to disturb the purity of heaven and earth, so it should be corrected.
Fellow Daoist is Western Sect Future Buddha. Although he and Witch Clan have a good relationship, the dispute between Calamity Kalpa is not personal.
Fellow Daoists, do you know that blocking the poor Dao means blocking Heavenly Dao?"
Xuande still didn't answer, but his steps didn't move at all.
Four-Colored Light circulated faster on the twenty-four-pin lotus platform, and Creation Cauldron Creation Light at Dingkou was swallowed even more violently.
The tip of God-Slaying Spear's gun drew a deep ravine on the ground, clearly demarcating the boundary between the Witch Clan and Hongjun.
Hongjun looks at Xuande, Xuande looks at Hongjun.
One is the incarnation of Union with the Dao Yu Tian's Dao Ancestor, Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao, who can dispel the existence of Pangu Axe Phantom with just a flip of his hand.
One is Western Sect Future Buddha transformed from Chaos Green Lotus seeds, Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal who was personally blessed by Great Dao and just refined Creation Azure Lotus.
Two beings above the level of Hunyuan quietly faced off on the broken battlefield. Although they did not exchange any moves, the silence itself made the entire Primordial Wilderness hold their breath.
Twelve Ancestral Witches is struggling after Merit Body, while Earthly Pillars maintains the operation of Dutian Divine Fiends Formation.
Dijiang looked up at Xuande's back, a pair of extremely complex emotions flashed through those dark golden eyes that had always been as strong as iron.
There is gratitude, there is reluctance, and more of it is respect for the Western Sect master who has repeatedly stood up for the Witch Clan in desperate situations.
Chi You knelt on one knee on Reincarnation Array Position, looking up at the back blocking Witch Clan, with a blazing light burning in his eyes.
He had heard about Xuande's deeds when he was at the Houtu Tribe.
Separating the two turbid and evil spirits for Ancestral Witch Houtu, helping Ancestral Witch Houtu give birth to Primordial Spirit, confronting Minghe in the Blood Sea, and assisting Ancestral Witch Houtu in establishing Six Paths of Reincarnation in Underworld.
Today he saw with his own eyes the person whom Ancestral Witch Houtu regarded as his most trusted ally.
Dijun knelt on one knee in the remaining formation below, looking up at the scene of the confrontation between Xuande and Hongjun, with complex emotions surging in his eyes.
Xuande and Witch Clan have a good relationship, and Houtu and Houtu have been close friends for many years.
It's not surprising that he shows up here to block Hongjun for the Witch Clan.
However, the appearance of Xuande objectively prevented Hongjun from defeating Dutian Divine Fiends Formation, which is equivalent to preserving the strength of the Witch Clan to continue to threaten Heavenly Court.
For Demon Clan Heavenly Court, this is hardly pure goodwill.
Taiyi lowered Chaos Bell slightly, glanced back and forth between Xuande and Hongjun, and said nothing.
Hongjun was silent for a moment.
Xuande's position is extremely accurate.
He stood directly in front of Dutian Divine Fiends Formation Diagram, completely covering the formation with Four Symbols Cycle and Lotus Platform Barrier.
If Hongjun wants to use Heavenly Dao's will to disintegrate the formation, he must first break through the Four Symbols Cycle barrier.
Breaking through the barrier is equivalent to attacking Xuande directly.
Xuande is the existence of Great Dao Blessing, the bloodline successor of Chaos Green Lotus, and one of the three Western Sect Hunyuan.
The consequences of taking action against Xuande are by no means as simple as dispelling Pangu Axe Phantom.
That is a direct confrontation with Great Dao's will, and is a bottom line that Union with the Dao cannot cross.
He slowly put down his hands behind his back, and his unwavering eyes finally glanced at Dutian Divine Fiends Formation Diagram behind Xuan Merit Body.
Then he glanced at Dijun and Taiyi who were barely holding on in the remaining formation below.
Then he looked away.
Hongjun stood with his hands behind his hands, his purple robe motionless in the turbulence of the remaining laws on the battlefield.
His eyes fell on Xuan Merit Body, and those Xuande's unwavering eyes reflected the Four-Colored Light circulating around him.
There were no emotional fluctuations visible, as if he was just examining the variables that had already been marked on a chessboard.
"Daoist Xuande." Hongjun spoke, his voice as calm as water, but every word was like the echo of Heavenly Dao's law, exploding in every corner of Primordial Wilderness at the same time.
"You used Hunyuan to obstruct Pindao's law enforcement. Do you know that this move has touched Heavenly Dao Karma?"
Xuande didn't answer, Four-Colored Light under Twenty-Four-Petal Yin-Yang Merit Golden Lotus's feet was still flowing steadily, protecting Dutian Divine Fiends Formation Diagram behind him.
His silence is not a presupposition or a confrontation, but a more fundamental attitude.
He stands here, and that in itself is his entire answer.
Hongjun did not continue to ask.
His eyes moved away from Xuan Merit Body and swept across the twelve dark gold blood flames behind Xuan Merit Body that were still burning but had been mostly dimmed.
Scanning the remaining formation below, Dijun and Taiyi were kneeling on one knee, scanning the broken Great Array of the Stars Remnants and the devastated battlefield.
Then he spoke, his voice still calm, but with an irresistible Heavenly Dao will.
It penetrated Chaos Wind of Buzhou Mountain, penetrated the star debris of Thirty-Three Heavens, and penetrated every corner of the Primordial Wilderness earth.
"The two Lich clans, from now on, no more wars are allowed within Three Kalpas.
Violators, Heavenly Dao will be demoted to Heavenly Punishment.
It can be as simple as cutting off the Tao, or serious as the body will die and the Tao will disappear, and the ethnic group Fortune will be completely dispersed."
Twelve Ancestral Witches looked up at the same time.
Dijiang's dark golden eyes suddenly burst into monstrous rage.
The dark golden Spatial Divine Patterns trembled violently all over his body, and he almost couldn't help but erupt again.
Zhujiuyin's gray eyes narrowed slightly, and River of Time's shadow surged behind him like a boil.
Gonggong and Zhurong looked at each other, with the same rage and unwillingness in their eyes.
Chi You struggled to stand up from the ground, clenching his right fist tightly and cracking his knuckles. The dark golden blood of Ancestral Witch was still hanging from the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't care less about his injuries at the moment.
Three Kalpas.
That's hundreds of thousands of years.
Witch Clan had clearly defeated Great Array of the Stars, and was only one ax away from killing Di Jun and Tai Yi, but it fell short because of Hongjun's intervention.
Now Hongjun said lightly "Three Kalpas must not start another war", which wiped out the advantages that Witch Clan had gained with countless people's blood.
Three Kalpas has enough time for the Demon Clan to rebuild Great Array of the Stars, recover, and even allow Taiyi to break through Hunyuan and Dijun to find Primordial Violet Qi.
By then, all the results Witch Clan gained today at the expense of burning blood and essence will be in vain.
This is not mediation.
This is favoritism.
Dijiang's voice is hoarse and deep, and every word seems to be squeezed out from between the teeth:
"Dao Ancestor is a good Three Kalpas.
Demon Clan Great Array of the Stars has been defeated, and Di Jun and Tai Yi is seriously injured and dying. All we need to do is pursue the victory, and Witch Clan can be defeated once and for all.
Dao Ancestor came forward at this time, in the name of calming the war, but actually to give Demon Clan a chance to breathe.
Three Kalpas After the Demon Clan regained his strength, Witch Clan today's battle was in vain."
Hongjun's eyes turned to Dijiang, but there was still no expression on his face. "Under Heavenly Dao, everything is a stupid dog.
Calamity Kalpa has been activated, but Heavenly Dao has the virtue of a good life and does not want to see the two lich clans perish together.
Witch Clan purifies evil spirits and complements Primordial Wilderness. This is Pangu's last destiny, and it is also the destination of Great Dao.
Demon Clan governs All-Encompassing Stars and maintains the order of heaven and earth, which is also required for the operation of Heavenly Dao.
Both races are indispensable.
If Witch Clan destroys Demon Clan today, and no one can reconcile the evil spirit with the power of the stars, Primordial Wilderness the world will be out of balance sooner or later.
If Demon Clan destroys Witch Clan in the future, there will be no one to check and balance the movement of the stars, and the Heavenly Dao law will also be withered.
Within Three Kalpas, you should cherish the opportunity to breathe and recuperate instead of killing each other. Heavenly Dao is selfless and only balance is the rule."
Dijiang's fists were clenched so hard that the dark gold nails dug deep visible bone scars on his palms.
He wanted to say something more, but Zhujiuyin reached out and held his shoulder, and slowly shook his head.
River of Time flowed quietly behind Zhujiuyin, and he saw many things that Dijiang did not see.
Hongjun Although these words are high-sounding, there is an undeniable fact in them.
Witch Clan After burning the essence and blood, it is indeed impossible to launch a full-scale war in a short time.
Nearly half of Twelve Ancestral Witches's essence and blood have been burned, and Chi You, as the new Ancestral Witch, is even more fundamentally damaged.
Although Dutian Divine Fiends Formation was saved by Xuande, the foundation of the formation was also impacted by the will of Hongjun Heavenly Dao.
It cannot withstand full operation again in a short period of time. The truce period for Three Kalpas is also necessary for the Witch Clan.
But the length of time Three Kalpas is really leaving Demon Clan with ample recovery period. This is the real reason for Dijiang's anger.
Hongjun did not look at Twelve Ancestral Witches again. His eyes fell on Xuan Merit Body again.
This glance didn't last long, but it was more meaningful than any previous glance.
The appearance of Xuande changed his original plan.
He originally wanted to use Heavenly Dao's will to completely defeat Dutian Divine Fiends Formation.
Minimize the threat of the Witch Clan, while retaining the existence of Demon Clan Heavenly Court, so that both lichs lose the ability to break the balance.
But Xuande stood in front of Dutian Divine Fiends Formation Diagram, forcing him to stop his second move as Great Dao Blessing.
He could choose to ignore Xuande and continue to take action, but that would mean taking action directly against Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, who was personally blessed by Great Dao.
This cause and effect is so great that even Union with the Dao may not be able to bear it.
"Fellow Daoist saved Dutian Divine Fiends Formation today. This cause and effect, Heavenly Dao has been recorded."
Hongjun's voice is still calm, but every word carries a vague and profound meaning.
"Fellow Daoist Path of Hunyuan Wuji is still very long. I hope you will be cautious and don't miss Great Dao due to personal relationships."
Xuande finally spoke.
His voice was equally calm, as calm as a bottomless ancient well:
"Pindao and fellow Daoist Houtu have fought side by side for many years, and Witch Clan has a good relationship with Pindao.
This good karma is one of Pindao's Great Dao.
Pindao understands Dao Ancestor's approach to balance, but doesn't agree with it.
Within Three Kalpas, Witch Clan will not take the initiative to start a war.
But please also remind Dao Ancestor that if Demon Clan takes the initiative to provoke Demon Clan within Three Kalpas, Heavenly Dao will be punished equally."
Hongjun looked at Xuande, a faint glimmer of light flashed in those ancient and unwavering eyes, which seemed to be an accident, but also seemed to be some kind of deeper examination.
Xuande's words appear to be accepting Three Kalpas Ceasefire Agreement, but in fact they are conquering an army in front of Hongjun.
Since you want to maintain a balance, you must be fair.
Witch Clan is not allowed to initiate a fight, and Demon Clan is also not allowed to initiate a fight.
If Demon Clan crosses the line, the penalty of Heavenly Dao must also fall on the Demon Clan.
Hongjun did not respond to this sentence.
He just glanced at Xuande for the last time, and then his body turned into a faint Purple Light and disappeared silently into the void.
Dijun knelt on one knee in the remaining formation below. Although Sun Essence Wheel's light had dimmed like a candle.
But his chest was still heaving violently, which was an instinctive reaction for the rest of his life.
Hongjun's departure made his tense body finally relax a little.
He stood up slowly with Sun Essence Wheel supported on the ground, and Taiyi reached out to hold his arm.
The two brothers exchanged a look, each understanding what the other was thinking without the need for words.
If Hongjun hadn't taken action today, Demon Clan Heavenly Court would have been destroyed.
No matter how unfair Hongjun's Three-Kalpas Edict seems to the Witch Clan, to the Demon Clan, this is a real life-saving grace.
Three Kalpas's time is enough to rebuild Great Array of the Stars, enough for Taiyi to impact Hunyuan, enough for Dijun to find Primordial Violet Qi.
This is not respite, this is rebirth.
"Withdraw."
Dijun's voice is hoarse but still calm.
Ten Great Demon Marshals all accepted the order and began to gather the remaining soldiers in an orderly manner, clear the battlefield, and withdraw Thirty-Three Heavens.
In front of Buzhou Mountain, Dijiang looked at the direction in which Hongjun disappeared, and slowly loosened his clenched fists.
He said no more angry words, but turned around silently and looked at the eleven brothers and sisters behind him.
Zhujiuyin's face was as pale as paper, and Goumang's green Life Fiendish Qi was so thin that it was almost invisible.
Gonggong and Zhurong supported each other so as not to fall. Chi You was kneeling on one knee and still panting. Xuanming's dark eyes were filled with anger and exhaustion.
Twelve Ancestral Witches The cost of burning essence and blood is gradually becoming apparent.
Essence and blood are Ancestral Witch's Origin Essence. Burning essence and blood is a direct loss of foundation.
After this battle, it will take a long time to recover.
"Return to the Pangu Hall." Dijiang's voice was hoarse and low, and he only said three words.
Xuande did not leave immediately.
He walked to Chi You and reached out to help Houtu Tribe's new Ancestral Witch up from the ground.
Chi You looked up at Xuande, his copper bell-like eyes full of bloodshot eyes and unwillingness.
He moved his lips to say something, but in the end he just cupped his fist and saluted Xuande, and the dark golden blood of Ancestral Witch dripped from the gap between his fists onto the charred earth.
Then he turned around and followed the other Ancestral Witch, his steps heavy but his spine still straight.
Witch Clan units began to retreat from the battlefield.
Hundreds of thousands of Greater Witch returned to Buzhou Mountain in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective tribes. Their faces showed unwillingness and anger, and more importantly, resentment towards Dao Ancestor's favoritism.
But not a single Witch Clan soldier disobeyed military orders. Their formation was still neat and their retreat pace was still steady.
Witch Clan are not afraid of death, but they know better that retreating at this moment is not to retreat, but to stand up better next time.
Xuande followed Twelve Ancestral Witches and walked towards Buzhou Mountain.
He knew that what Witch Clan needed most at this moment was not comfort or explanation, but an ally they could trust to be by their side.
Houtu was trapped in Underworld and could not stand for the Witch Clan himself, so he stood for her.
