The Kunpeng Changes Sides, and Luohu Appears
Zhunti's influence on the karma of all beings in the Primordial Wilderness caused the battle at the Western Spirit Mountain to be noticed by all beings in the Primordial Wilderness.
In the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and others used magical treasures to observe the battle at the Western Spirit Mountain.
"Your Majesty, this is a golden opportunity, a perfect opportunity to annihilate the Witch Clan! Now, all we need to do is launch Mount Buzhou, and we can wipe out the Witch Clan's stronghold in one fell swoop," Bai Ze said excitedly.
Kunpeng: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the best opportunity. First, we should destroy Mount Buzhou, then surround the Western Region, and join forces to kill the Twelve Ancestor Witches. We will surely achieve great success in one fell swoop."
"Your Majesty, please send troops to the Witch Clan!"
"Your Majesty, please..."
The demons were instantly excited, seeing a glimmer of victory. Attacking the demons now would guarantee a victory with minimal losses.
But only Di Jun was sullen and unhappy. He sighed and said helplessly:
"I know this is the best time, but Dijiang and his group are fearless because we can't make a move."
"Ever since the last battle with the Witch Clan, the Dao Ancestor has stated that within one Yuanhui (a unit of time), the Witch and Demon Clan must not wage war against each other. How can we disobey the Dao Ancestor's words?"
Taiyi asked in shock, "How could the Dao Ancestor set such a rule? The Wu and Yao people can fight if they want to, and they don't have to fight if they don't want to. Why are they not allowed to fight within a Yuanhui period?"
"Yes, the Dao Ancestor has already merged with the Dao. The struggle between the Wu and Yao tribes for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness is the natural way of heaven and earth. How could the Dao Ancestor set such a rule? It is truly inconceivable."
Di Jun didn't really understand why things were like this, but now that the Dao Ancestor had already made his word, if he disobeyed, it would definitely provoke the Dao Ancestor to take action. In that case, it was better not to fight at all.
Kunpeng gazed at the battle reflected in the sky above Spirit Mountain and sighed helplessly, "If we miss this opportunity today, destroying the Witch Clan will be even more difficult in the future!"
Di Jun was also uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do. He dared not disobey Hongjun's words. Hongjun's appearance last time had put too much pressure on him. Quasi-Saint were like ants in front of Hongjun.
Seeing the dejected state of the Heavenly Court officials, Di Jun was filled with anger. He unleashed the aura of Late Stage Quasi-Saint and roared:
"What's wrong with you gentlemen? Are you afraid of the Witch Clan?"
"Answer me?"
Everyone was stunned by the shout, and looking at the furious Di Jun, they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Di Jun looked at the silent crowd, then said loudly, "My lords, do not be intimidated by the might of the Witch Clan. The Twelve Ancestor Witches, even when they came out Jieyin and Zhunti. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Even in a direct battle, I, Di Jun, can destroy the Ancestor Witch, and the Heavenly Court can just as easily destroy the Witch Court. Why should you all be troubled!"
The people of Heavenly Court exclaimed in unison, "His Majesty's divine might is unparalleled in the universe!"
Di Jun glanced at the people of the Heavenly Court. He knew very well that the intimidation of the Witch Clan 'Dutian Great Formation last time had left a deep impression on everyone's minds.
Even now that the Star Dou Great Formation has been successfully completed, that shadow still lingers.
"The Heavenly Court needs a victory, a victory to stabilize the hearts of the people. The Star Dou should also unleash their light."
Thinking of this, Di Jun said in a deep voice, "The Heavenly Court's original plan remains unchanged. Our target is the Purple Mansion. We will first destroy the Purple Mansion, gather the Immortal Dao fortune, and then destroy the Witch Clan. I, Di Jun, will lead you to glory and dominate the Primordial Wilderness!"
"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
The crowd dispersed!
Kunpeng was on his way to the Star Domain when he met Bai Ze, who was traveling the same way, and the two went together.
"Bai Ze, have you noticed that His Majesty has changed?"
Bai Ze, who was moving forward, suddenly froze, looked at Kunpeng in shock, and said:
"What do you mean by that Demon Master?"
"Literally speaking, Your Majesty no longer possesses the spirit and magnanimity of the past," Kunpeng said slowly.
Bai Ze sighed after hearing this, "It's no wonder His Majesty was so devastated. The last battle was a huge blow to him. The Heavenly Consort perished, the Eighth Prince... and the Empress too..."
At this point, Bai Ze could no longer continue, and could only let out a long sigh.
Kunpeng's eyes flickered a few times, his gaze unfocused as he looked up at the Starry Sky, suddenly sensing that the Heavenly Court was not a place to linger.
He didn't care about what happened to Di Jun, because as the Heavenly Emperor and a powerful being, he had to be able to bear everything.
His only concern was the future of the Heavenly Court. Although he had already completed the Star Dou Great Formation, his heart remained completely unmoved.
Although Nuwa and Fuxi still held nominal titles, they had truly left the Heavenly Court, leaving only the three of the demon race's great rulers.
Can the Heavenly Court truly dominate the Primordial Wilderness?
Furthermore, can the upcoming war against the Purple Mansion truly be won decisively? Or can they defeat the East King Gong of the Purple Mansion?
At this moment, he felt a deep doubt, because he thought of Lu Ya from the past. Wasn't this Peak Quasi-Saint Divine Dao Great Powers also died tragically at the hands of Donghua?
Moreover, so many Great God beings helped Donghua in the past, in the battle against the Heavenly Court. Would those same people lend a helping hand again?
Thinking of this, Kunpeng sighed, suddenly losing all confidence in the upcoming Purple Mansion War, feeling a sense that those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little.
And regardless of victory or defeat, where will Kunpeng go from here?
Bai Ze, standing to the side, was also unable to calm down after his sigh. He was well aware of Di Jun's changes.
The once generous and magnanimous Di Jun, with a broad mind and no suspicion, has become increasingly sensitive and short-tempered.
These changes might not matter if they happened to others, but they couldn't happen to the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.
As the Heavenly Emperor, responsible for the division of Yin-Yang, how could he act in this way because of personal feelings?
He could sense that Di Jun's strength was increasing, but the Emperor Dao Power within him was weakening, which was not good news.
Those who cultivate the path of the emperor must align their hearts with heaven and earth and take all living beings as their responsibility.
The two had different thoughts, but they had something in common. They stopped talking and got up to fly to the Star Domain to begin directing the practice of the Star Dou Great Formation.
Meanwhile, on Spirit Mountain, the battle was fierce!
Zhunti slowly stood up from the ground and looked around. At this moment, Spirit Mountain had been ravaged by the battle.
All the hard work and accumulation of their fellow disciples over countless years was destroyed in an instant; this pain was even greater than any physical injury.
The distant Jieyin was still fighting and was even gaining a slight advantage, but many of his three thousand avatars had already been destroyed.
Meanwhile, Qiang Liang and Ru Shou continued their relentless attack Jieyin Jieyin's left arm, which had been pierced by Houtu's arrow earlier, and the injury was becoming increasingly severe.
The situation is extremely precarious!
Donghua, who was watching the battle from the Purple Mansion, was also shocked by the power of Jieyin.
It should be noted that Jieyin fought seven Ancestor Witch alone, including Houtu, who was at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint level. To be able to fight to such an extent, the disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun truly lived up to his reputation.
Fuxi sighed and said, "If Jieyin and Zhunti after this much fighting, then death or escape is all that awaits them."
Donghua nodded in agreement, but in his heart he hoped the Witch Clan would win. He wanted to know if these Heaven-Appointed Sages could die, or if they would even die.
Although Hongjun never said that his six disciples could attain Attain Sainthood, his every action told the world that these six were the future Saint.
The treasures given to the six people were the best and most suitable, and they were also bestowed with the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao, the Primordial Violet Qi, to aid their cultivation.
If the Witch Clan manages to kill Jieyin and Zhunti that even the Dao Ancestor's disciples can be killed. In this way, the situation in the Primordial Wilderness will become increasingly complicated.
Therefore, Donghua is very much looking forward to it!
Kunlun Mountain!
The Three Pure Ones stood on Kirin Cliff, and before them lay a scene: the battle on Spirit Mountain.
Yuanshi stood with his hands behind his back and slowly said, "Elder brother, Jieyin and Zhunti cannot die at the hands of the lich, or we will all be in trouble!"
The Taishang nodded in agreement.
"Second brother, you're right. No matter what happens in the future, they absolutely cannot die at the hands of the Witch Clan now."
Tongtian to the side, said nonchalantly, "Those two are merely Master's nominal disciples. I think it wouldn't matter if they died; it would be more beneficial for us in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi angrily said:
"How can you be so unreasonable, Third Brother? As long as they are still Master's disciples, we cannot leave them unrestrained. Besides, they possess the Primordial Violet Qi, and you know how important that is. How can we allow it to fall into the hands of the Witch Clan?"
Tongtian hearing this, Tongtian felt a headache coming on. At that moment, he truly wished that his second brother had not returned.
He felt that even the spiritual energy of Kunlun, which was not at its Yuanshi, was sweet.
The Taishang stopped the two from arguing and then said:
"Since you can't agree, let the second brother go to Spirit Mountain. The third brother shouldn't go. If the Three Pure Ones go together, it will make too much of a target."
"Besides, the Twelve Ancestor Witches are also at their last gasp. My second brother's intervention is more than enough!"
Yuanshi nodded after hearing this, and then vanished from Kunlun Mountain in a flash!
Just after Yuanshi left, Taishang said earnestly, "Third brother, ever since you broke through to the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, you have been arrogant and complacent, which is not advisable. You need to calm down and sort out your Dao."
"The Primordial Wilderness is vast and teeming with powerful beings. There might even be some old monsters still lurking and cultivating Primordial Wilderness. Have you forgotten Lu Ya of West Kunlun? You must not be arrogant or complacent."
Upon hearing the Taishang's criticism, Tongtian also felt that his state of mind was in trouble, and then said:
"I understand, elder brother. In that case, I will also descend the mountain and travel around, to temper my mind amidst the hustle and bustle of the world!"
After finishing his speech, Tongtian bowed, then stood up and left!
Taishang watched Tongtian leave, he sighed, "The Three Pure Ones must eventually part ways!"
On Spirit Mountain!
Zhunti looked around, a hint of madness resurfacing in his eyes.
Then he suddenly Empowerment Divine Pestle in his hand. With a single strike, the space itself rippled, and the target was none other than Qiang Liang, who was Jieyin.
At this moment, Qiang Liang and Jieyin were locked in combat and had no time to react.
However, Houtu drew her bow and shot an arrow, blocking the Empowerment Divine Pestle.
The pressure on Jieyin immediately lessened, and Qingjingzhu waved, driving Qiang Liang and Ru Shou back.
They then reunited with Zhunti!
The two brothers stood together, looked at each other, gave each other a bitter smile, and their eyes held a resolute look.
At this moment, the Twelve Ancestor Witches also gathered together, each of them bearing some injuries, and even Gong Gong, who had been severely injured by Zhunti at the beginning, was standing there.
This battle has gone on for so long that there are no clear winners, but overall the Witch Clan still holds the upper hand.
Jieyin his hands clasped together and a sorrowful expression, Jieyin slowly said, "Well said, well said. Spirit Mountain was originally a secluded place, free from worldly strife, yet today there is such slaughter. It should not have happened."
Dijiang roared, "Jieyin, stop with your hypocrisy! You have only yourself to blame for your current predicament!"
Jieyin seemed not to hear the voice, and exchanged a smile with Zhunti, as if he didn't care.
"Since the beginning of time, the Western Continent has suffered from war. This calamity today is truly undeserved, and you all deserve to die."
Zhunti's words were cold and devoid of emotion, while golden light shone brightly around him, and a powerful aura began to emanate from him.
"Heaven and Earth owe the Western Region a debt, and all living beings owe the Western Region a debt; this karmic debt must be repaid today."
As Zhunti finished speaking, he transformed into a colossal Bodhi Tree, taking root on Spirit Mountain, its branches Covering the Heavens. Rivers of cause and effect flowed around him, their mysterious colors endlessly circulating.
Then, the Jieyin cross-legged on a golden lotus, standing on the Bodhi Tree, and the Three Thousand Worlds shone with light once more.
The auras of Jieyin and Zhunti began to merge and intensify, and a powerful wave filled the Spirit Mountain.
At a certain moment, Jieyin opened his eyes and slowly said, "Esteemed benefactors, let us leave Spirit Mountain now and let this matter rest. This is our tribulation, is that acceptable?"
The Twelve Ancestor Witches opposite them had also formed their battle formation, Dutian Great Formation could be activated instantly, but at this moment, the hearts of the group were far from calm.
They could sense that the two opposite them were fighting desperately and were preparing a powerful attack. Moreover, each of them was injured, so even if they unleashed the Dutian Great Formation, they could only launch one attack.
But retreating to Spirit Mountain like this would mean accomplishing nothing and needlessly offending two Great God beings.
Thinking of this, Dijiang looked at his other brothers, nodded slightly to each other, and immediately understood each other's thoughts. No matter what the final outcome was, this battle had to be fought no matter what, otherwise they would feel uneasy.
"War!"
The Twelve Ancestor Witches released their respective Great Daos, their auras merging and the Great Dao Law converging. Within their bodies, the power of blood and qi rose again, the Innate Turbid Sha Qi, illuminating heaven and earth.
Then, the twelve distinct Divine Blood Qi merged with each other, their powerful aura soaring into the heavens.
A figure slowly appeared; it was none other than the Pangu True Body.
After hearing the answer, Jieyin and Zhunti on the other side stopped talking nonsense.
The Bodhi Tree swayed, the River of Karma flowed, and a huge bubble appeared, within which black light blazed, sending chills down one's spine with just a glance.
The Jieyin a precious banner in one hand and a precious flag in the other, waving them both, causing the Three Thousand Worlds to tremble and endless divine power to gather within them.
They unleashed countless attacks on that bubble in an instant.
But the bubble still didn't burst!
At this moment, the Bodhi Tree that Zhunti had transformed into once again generated a power, which blessed Jieyin.
Jieyin unleashed several more attacks, the Jieyin Treasure Banner striking the bubble.
Loud sound and strange sound.
It was as if I heard a cracking sound, yet there was no sound at all.
The bubble bursts!
The boundless spiritual energy of the Western Region began to gather, and a powerful figure emerged.
Demonic energy filled the sky!
"Demon Ancestor Luohu!"
