The Demon Court's Thirty-three Heavens

The Demon Court's Thirty-three Heavens.

Having fled back to the Demon Court in such a sorry state, Demon Emperor Dijun was overcome with fury at the sight before him.

The Witch and Demon Clans were locked in a bloody battle. Relying on their formidable physical bodies, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had the upper hand against Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

The Witch Clan's mighty warriors seized the opportunity to slaughter the Demon Clan's living beings.

The corpses of the Demon Clan's dead nearly filled the lower thirteen heavens.

Earth Turbid Qi surged and spread throughout all thirty-three heavens.

"If I can't defeat the Human Emperor, does that mean I can't beat a bunch of barbarian Witches like you?!"

"By the name of the Demon Emperor, I command the stars of the heavens!"

"Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, arise!!"

Demon Emperor Dijun roared in rage, his fury complete.

Using Hetu Luoshu as its foundation, the formation drew upon the Power of the Stars of the Heavens.

A million Da Luo Demon Gods served as its guides, the Ten Great Demon Sages as its support, and Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi as its central anchors.

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation they arranged could unleash the power of a Sage.

Its might was far beyond that of the Lesser Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, which Dijun had cast by borrowing the power of Hetu Luoshu.

In an instant, every gaze in the Primordial World turned toward the Demon Court's thirty-three heavens.

An endless phantom starry sky descended from above, enveloping the Demon Court's thirty-three heavens.

Vast Star Power swept forth like a tsunami.

A million Da Luo Demon Gods streamed out from every corner of the Demon Court, their bodies radiating boundless, surging demonic energy.

Led by Baize, the Ten Great Demon Sages each transformed into their true forms, vast enough to blot out the sky.

"Draw upon the power of the main stars!"

Dijun's furious shout rang throughout the Demon Court.

Rumble!

Heaven and earth shook!

In the Primordial Starry Sky, each of the three hundred and sixty-five main stars sent down a phantom of starlight. They sank into the true forms of three hundred and sixty-five late-stage Daluo Demon Gods.

In an instant, the star power of those three hundred and sixty-five Demon Gods surged, and the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation's might climbed wildly.

Under the pressure of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, all of heaven and earth seemed to mourn.

"Draw upon the power of the auxiliary stars!"

Dijun bellowed again.

The one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred auxiliary stars each sent down a phantom of starlight, which sank into the bodies of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred Da Luo Demon Gods.

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation's power swelled to its utmost, breaking through the limits of Quasi-saints and reaching the level of a Sage.

At the sight of this,

countless living beings throughout heaven and earth were struck with terror.

Kunlun Mountain.

"How is this possible?!"

"Dijun had such a trick up his sleeve? He can unleash the power of a Sage through a formation?"

The Three Pure Ones were utterly shocked.

Sea of Blood.

"The Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation truly lives up to its name!"

Minghe stared at the Demon Court, his expression grave.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and the other top Great Divine Powers of the Primordial World were all stunned.

They had never expected Dijun to have such a trick up his sleeve, unleashing the power of a Sage through a formation.

Everyone beneath a Sage was an ant, after all.

Demon Court, thirty-third heaven.

The countless living beings of the Demon Clan were all enveloped by the formation, becoming part of the power that drove the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation.

Demon Emperor Dijun held Hetu Luoshu aloft, anchoring the Sun Star formation eye.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi held the Chaos Bell aloft, presiding over the Lunar Star formation eye.

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation had fully taken shape. Heaven itself stirred with killing intent.

"Starfall, descend!"

Without hesitation, Dijun shouted.

"Rumble!"

The boundless Star Power within the formation instantly became a storm, gathering into an endless torrent of starlight that poured down upon the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the billion-strong Witch Clan army.

Every drop of starlight contained terrifying Star Power. Everywhere it passed, all things were annihilated.

From an immeasurable distance away, the weaker Witches exploded one after another, returning to heaven and earth.

Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches' incomparably powerful Ancestral Witch True Forms cracked and bled.

"Form the array!!"

Seeing this, Space Ancestral Witch Dijiang immediately shouted.

"Rumble!!"

Twelve thunderous roars sounded one after another as the Twelve Ancestral Witches transformed into their Ancestral Witch True Forms.

Fierce Earth Turbid Qi erupted skyward from the Twelve Ancestral Witches, blocking the endless starlight crashing down upon them.

The Sage-level power, mighty enough to suppress everything between heaven and earth, stalled for a moment. It had failed to seize the chance to crush the Witch Clan.

"Hiss!"

"As expected of the two top clans vying to rule heaven and earth. They both have ways to unleash the power of a Sage!!"

Countless living beings cried out in alarm.

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation faced off against the Twelve Capital Divine Gods and Demons Formation.

The two formations unleashed the power of Sages, battering one another without respite.

Demon Clan and Witch Clan dead fell like rain, yet no one from either clan retreated even half a step.

When two opponents met on a narrow path, the braver one prevailed.

At a time like this, whoever retreated first would surely be the first to perish.

"Outrageous! How could this be?!"

Seeing that he could not defeat the Witch Clan, Demon Emperor Dijun flew into a rage.

He had thought the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation would crush the Witch Clan, but they had a Twelve Capital Divine Gods and Demons Formation that could match it.

"Elder Brother, something's wrong. We must end this quickly!"

Suddenly, Eastern Emperor Taiyi furrowed his brow and warned Dijun.

The moment the Witch Clan brought out the Twelve Capital Divine Gods and Demons Formation, the Chaos Bell had stirred.

It had never done so before, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi could not feel at ease.

Kunlun Mountain.

"Elder Brother, is anything amiss with your Taiji Diagram?"

Frowning, Yuanshi could not help asking Laozi.

"The Taiji Diagram stirred for an instant. Could it be that your Pangu Banner did too, Second Brother?"

Laozi looked at Yuanshi, uncertain.

He had thought the Taiji Diagram's stir had been his imagination.

When he heard Yuanshi ask, Laozi realized the matter was not so simple.

"My Pangu Banner stirred for an instant too. It happened just as the Witch Clan brought out the Twelve Capital Divine Gods and Demons Formation."

Yuanshi took a deep breath and spoke gravely.

"How could this be?!"

For a moment, Laozi and Yuanshi both looked troubled.

The Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner were their Natal Spiritual Treasures, the foundation of their cultivation.

If anything happened to their Natal Spiritual Treasures, it would inevitably affect their path to enlightenment.

"We and the Witch Clan are all of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage. That must be why they stirred. Let's keep watching."

Tongtian spoke calmly, unconcerned.

More than the stir of the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner, Tongtian was interested in the two supreme formations.

Both the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation and the Twelve Capital Divine Gods and Demons Formation could unleash the power of a Sage.

Tongtian was curious: if he attained Sainthood and set up the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, which formation would claim the title of the world's greatest?

Western Mount Sumeru.

"We're doomed!"

Zhunti and Jieyin cried out, their faces bitter.

Wuzhuang Temple.

"The first battle between the Witches and Demons."

"According to what Elder Brother Huang Tian said, my old friend Hong Yun probably won't live much longer."

"Alas."

Coming back to his senses, Zhenyuanzi sighed helplessly.

Wa Huang Palace.

"Should I intervene?"

Nuwa stared intently at the thirty-third heaven, her expression solemn.

When Hongjun attained Sainthood, he had laid down a rule forbidding Sages from easily setting foot in the Primordial World.

But her elder brother Fuxi was still among the Demon Clan. Nuwa could not simply stand by and do nothing.

"Forget it. For now, the Witch and Demon Clans are evenly matched. If I intervene, Teacher probably won't stand aside."

Nuwa glanced toward Jade Capital Mountain and suppressed the thought.

Human Ancestral Hall, Shore of the East Sea.

"Let them fight. Once both sides are badly wounded, that will be the Human Race's chance."

With his hands behind his back, Huang Tian gazed into the distance, toward the Demon Court's thirty-three heavens.

Feeling the Witch and Demon Clans locked in battle within the two formations, Huang Tian could not help letting a smile curl across his lips.

Only if both clans were badly wounded could the Human Race snatch victory from the jaws of danger.

After the first battle between the Witches and Demons came the Witch-Slaying Sword calamity. Huang Tian would turn the tables, shifting from reacting to events to taking the initiative.
