Let This Tribulation Come Even More Ferociously!
As the demon race slaughtered the human race, the Witch Clan, located in the central Buzhou Mountain, could no longer sit idly by.
"Kill!"
A command came from Dijiang's mouth!
In an instant, millions of the Witch Clan attacked the human tribes, but they spared those tribes that had intermarried with the Witch Clan, otherwise Dijiang would not have been able to explain to his men.
In an instant, the entire Central Land was filled with the stench of blood, and the essence and flesh of countless humans were collected.
On a mountain peak in the Buzhou Mountain Range, the five Ancestor Witch, Xuan Ming, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, Zhu Jiuyin, Ju Mang, looked at the scene of the human race being surrounded and killed in the distance.
The Ancestor Witch Xuan Ming couldn't help but sigh, "Humans are just one of the myriad races, and a race that was created later in life. Why do I always feel uneasy?"
Zhu Jiuyin shook his head and sighed, "Xuan Ming, don't overthink it. Since things have come to this, there's nothing to hesitate about. Since the Father God created the world, how many races have been completely wiped out? The Fierce Beast Tribulation, the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the Immortal-Demon Conflict —how many races have only memories left in the River of Time!"
"Even a powerful clan like the White Tiger Clan, with Peak Quasi-Saint expert like the White Tiger Sacred Beast, was almost wiped out by the Qilin! Now, only a few remnants of the clan survive in the Western Region White Tiger Sacred Realm. In the Primordial Wilderness world, what race is invincible, what race is eternal!"
Gong Gong's eyes flickered, and he looked at Zhu Jiuyin, asking, "Second brother, can you interpret my words as meaning that our Witch Clan also faces the calamity of extinction?"
All eyes turned to Zhu Jiuyin, wanting to know what this Sage of the Witch Clan was thinking. They had considered that the Witch Clan might lose, but they had never imagined that the Witch Clan would be wiped out.
This was utterly unbelievable to them. The Witch Clan was considered a direct descendant of Pangu; if they were wiped out on the Primordial World Continent, wouldn't that be a colossal joke?
Zhu Jiuyin chuckled softly and said slowly, "What is impossible? Even the Hun Yuan cannot achieve true immortality, let alone a mere race!"
"The pride of the Witch Clan does not allow us to live like the Dragon Clan, merely eking out a living, nor can we, like the Phoenix Clan and the Kirin Clan, remain hidden from the world and ultimately submit to a certain power."
"This is a pride that comes from our bloodline, and no one can change it!"
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, because Zhu Jiuyin was right. Once the Witch Clan lost, it would be very difficult for them to turn the tide, because they would find it hard to submit to the Purple Mansion or other forces like the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin did today.
"If that's the case, then let's fight!"
Mount Tai!
After Houtu discovered the Netherworld Realm, she moved her tribe from Buzhou Mountain to Mount Tai. There was also a large human tribe near Mount Tai.
Here, people and shamans live together, intermarry, and live in harmony.
Therefore, since the lich massacred the human race, the Houtu Tribe near Mount Tai has remained completely silent, neither massacring the human race nor taking any special precautions, continuing as usual.
Perhaps the humans here are unaware that their people are being slaughtered. After all, the Primordial Wilderness is truly vast, and there are very few truly Great God beings among the human race, those who have cultivated to the level of Daluo Golden Immortal.
Those with Great God are called Grand Unity!
Great Powers is Quasi-Saint!
"Yi, that Golden Crow Prince of the demon race is truly despicable! He actually used the Golden Crow True Fire to draw upon the power of the Sun Star to scorch the earth. I wonder how many more of our people will die. I imagine your Witch Clan won't fare any better; some of your weaker members will also perish."
Beside a small river, a young and beautiful human woman and a burly Witch Clan man stood together. The two were behaving intimately, clearly husband and wife, or perhaps Dao Companion.
The woman also possessed considerable strength, Golden Immortal Realm, while the man was at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
The man was none other than Yi, the Dayi Great Witch who had been killed by Xi He but was eventually saved by Houtu.
No, he should be called Houyi now!
Strictly speaking, Dayi is already dead, even though the two are the same person and have the same memories.
Looking at his beautiful wife, Houyi didn't know how to tell her that her people were being slaughtered. He could only hold her tightly in his arms and gently stroke her hair.
Chang'e nestled against Houyi's chest, giggled, looked up at her husband, and suddenly asked:
"Yi, your archery skills are unparalleled. Do you think you can shoot down these nine Golden Crow in the sky?"
"Yes!" Houyi said firmly without any hesitation.
For him, wherever his mind desires, his arrows can reach. This is a belief, a manifestation of self-confidence, and this is also the source of his prowess in the art of mind-arrow.
"My Yi is indeed omnipotent!" Chang'e said happily. Although she knew that Houyi was only Grand Unity cultivator, in her heart, her Yi was the most powerful.
Houyi was not good with words and didn't say much, but simply held his wife tightly in his arms.
The two met 20,000 years ago, when Chang'e was just a minor cultivator and had just arrived near Mount Tai with her people.
By chance, Houyi saved Chang'e, and the two met and later became a couple.
Just as Houyi was reflecting on the past, a hurried voice came from behind him.
"Houyi Great Witch Yi, something terrible has happened! The ten suns in the sky are too powerful. Some of our clansmen with lower cultivation levels can't take it anymore. You have to think of a solution; this can't go on."
Houyi released Chang'e and said, "Go home and wait for me. I'll be right back!"
Chang'e nodded obediently and said, "Yes, Yi, you must be careful. These nine Golden Crow are princes of the Heavenly Court. Don't actually shoot them down, or there will be a great disaster."
"Don't worry, I know!"
After Houyi finished speaking, he left with his people and arrived in the Netherworld Realm, where all the other Great Witch of the Houtu Tribe were already waiting.
"Yi, I think you're so engrossed in the pleasures of love that you've forgotten you're a Great Witch!"
As soon as Houyi entered the main hall, a Great Witch spoke jokingly, but there was no mockery in his eyes; instead, there was a sense of admiration.
"Yi, You're right. You seem distracted and preoccupied. Is it because you're reluctant to leave your beautiful wife at home?" The Great Witch Xiang Liu teased.
In fact, Xiang Liu was not a member of the Houtu Tribe, but a subordinate of the Ancestor Witch She Bi Shi. However, after She Bi Shi's death, he Houtu to Mount Tai to cultivate, along with the entire She Bi Shi tribe.
"Yi"
Everyone joked around, without any malice. Most of them were just envious of Houyi, since Chang'e was not only unparalleled in beauty, but also had a high aptitude for cultivation, having reached the Golden Immortal Realm in just 20,000 years.
"Alright, brothers, that's enough. You all know my wife is human. I just don't know how to explain to her that humanity is facing a great calamity," Houyi sighed, helplessly addressing the crowd. He was indeed troubled by this problem.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Although they themselves did not have such worries, their subordinates, clansmen, and descendants were all more or less related to the human race, so they were also in a difficult situation.
Just then, Houtu descended into the main hall, sat on the high platform, and looked at everyone, saying, "Everyone, the Primordial Wilderness is currently undergoing a great change. No one can predict the specific direction of this change, but my elder brother and I both have a premonition that the Witch Clan may be in danger of extinction."
"You are all the best of your respective tribes, with cultivation levels ranging from Grand Unity to Quasi-Saint. However, you will not be needed in the subsequent war. You will be preserved as the living force of the Witch Clan, as the continuation of the Witch Clan."
Upon hearing this, everyone became agitated and voiced their opposition, all wanting to participate in the upcoming war.
The Great Witch You said, "Your Majesty, we will not be deserters. How can we run away when the Witch Clan needs us?"
"That's right, Your Majesty! No matter what, we can't be deserters!"
"This is not desertion, because living is perhaps more difficult than dying. Once the Witch Clan is defeated, they will be like the dragons, phoenixes, Qilin of the past, at the mercy of others and oppressed. So living is more difficult than dying," Houtu explained to the crowd.
This suggestion was first put forward by Zhu Jiuyin, and later all the Ancestor Witch agreed to it.
In the future, various tribes will send a group of people to enter the Netherworld Realm from Mount Tai, so that they can be preserved as the living force of the Witch Clan.
"Your Majesty, it's me."
Before anyone could finish speaking, Houtu interrupted, saying, "Alright, that's enough. You are the people I've chosen to keep. I will lead you into the Netherworld Realm later. Go back and make preparations."
As soon as she finished speaking, Houtu disappeared from the main hall.
The group exchanged glances, sighed helplessly, and ultimately had no choice but to accept it.
Houyi returned home with trepidation, only to find his wife was not there. However, he did not think much of it and began to make some arrangements.
Just then, a member of the tribe ran in and said, "Great Witch, something terrible has happened! Chang'e has gone to the Western Region with the human race. They already know about the great calamity that has befallen humanity and have gone to rescue the suffering people."
Houyi exclaimed in surprise, "What?"
After saying that, he left without a second thought to find Chang'e. He was well aware of the great calamity that was about to befall the human race. The Witch and Demon Races had joined forces to attack the human race. How could a True Immortal like her possibly get involved?
After Houyi left the tribe, he embarked on a journey, following his heart's desires. In an instant, he found Chang'e's location and immediately went there.
After learning of the great calamity that befell humanity, Chang'e did not return home. Instead, she followed the tribe westward to rescue the scattered and fleeing members of her people.
Because she didn't know how to face Houyi.
Although none of this was Houyi's fault, and had nothing to do with him, humans and sorcerers are ultimately different.
So it's better not to meet!
After Chang'e and the others left Mount Tai, they encountered a situation where the demon race was chasing after humans. Fortunately, these demons were not very powerful, and their leader was just a demon king at the Taiyi Realm.
Their tribal leader, "Du," was also at the Taiyi Realm, so they were not afraid.
As expected, they quickly defeated the demon king and saved their people.
But they did not give up and continued westward to save their people.
Finally, they encountered a Great Luo Demon God!
"These humans are still rushing to their deaths; they're truly absurd!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Luo Demon God made the first move. "Du" was only at the Taiyi Realm, so how could he possibly be a match for the Grand Unity? In just two moves, the group was defeated.
Chang'e was pierced through the chest by the aftershock, barely able to breathe, and on the verge of death, Houyi finally arrived.
"Court death!"
Seeing his injured wife, Houyi's anger was understandable.
In an instant, he unleashed his Great Witch True Form, a blood-red longbow appearing in his hand, its Turbid Sha Qi carrying the mighty power of laws.
An arrow was shot out, and in mid-air, it transformed into a massive, blood-red dragon that pierced the heavens and attacked.
The Great Dao Power, accompanied by a powerful Turbid Sha Qi, surged towards the Demon God.
The Demon God had no time to react. He was just a Demon God who had just entered the Grand Unity realm. How could he possibly be a match for Houyi? In an instant, an arrow pierced through his demon body, his primordial spirit dissipated, and his Great Dao collapsed.
Just as the Great Dao Power was about to return to the world, Houyi was still not satisfied. He shot another arrow, which shattered the Great Dao Power and pierced into the River of Time, erasing all traces. He didn't even give him a chance to be reincarnated.
Houyi shot another arrow, killing all the demons who accompanied him.
After doing all this, he hurriedly looked at his wife, Chang'e, but it was already too late.
Chang'e was seriously injured; the wound on her chest was difficult to heal, and the key problem was that Houyi was not skilled in healing.
Houyi quickly used the Great Dao Power to seal Chang'e's injuries and crossed the River of Time to reach Mount Tai.
"Your Majesty, please save Chang'e!"
Houtu took the document from Chang'e and examined it. The power of the earth flowed into her body, and it stopped after a while.
"She cultivates the Moon Great Dao. Although I can heal this injury, I will definitely lose all her cultivation, and it will be difficult for her to break through to the Grand Unity in the future. What do you choose?"
Although Houyi desperately wanted Chang'e to recover from her injuries, cultivation was an extra life for people in the Primordial Wilderness world, so how could he give it up?
"Your Majesty, is there really no other way?"
Houtu said, "If one wants to preserve the Great Dao and cultivation, only the West Queen Mother can do it; no one else can, because she cultivates the Moon Great Dao."
"I'm going to find the West Queen Mother!"
Without any hesitation, Houyi picked up Chang'e and headed towards the Purple Mansion in the East Sea.
"A tragic fate, a tragic fate indeed!"
Watching Houyi Yi leave, Houtu couldn't help but sigh.
Just now, when her Great Dao Power entered Chang'e's body, she immediately detected the anomaly. How could she not recognize the Moon Great Dao that corresponded to the Moon Star? It was practically familiar to her.
"It's really interesting, though I wonder which one of them it is?"
Houtu smiled, and the power of spacetime surged, causing a light screen to appear.
"Sister Taizhen"
Longevity Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple!
This place has been completely surrounded by demons, Taiyi has even used the Chaos Bell to seal off all space and time here.
The various Demon God gradually returned, because the human race in other places had been almost wiped out.
"Your Majesty, the Purple Mansion has launched a full-scale attack in the east and south. Five Demon Saint, Great Ape and the Ao Yin, have been killed in battle, along with hundreds of Demon God. Prime Minister Bai Ze is nowhere to be found!"
Taiyi looked at the Demon God speaking in front of him, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if the one who had died was not a member of the demon race.
"I understand. You may leave."
Taiyi said it calmly, then looked up at the heavens and the Primordial Land.
At this moment, the power of the calamity had reached its peak, and the immeasurable calamity energy was almost visible to the naked eye.
"Let this great calamity come even more fiercely!"
Looking at this calamity energy, Taiyi smiled inadvertently and greedily inhaled a breath of the calamity energy in the Sky Vault.
After reaching a peak, the Great Tribulation will gradually dissipate, which is what Taiyi wants to see.
Taiyi's eyes were filled with red light, the True Sun Fire surged, and a Three-legged Golden Crow appeared behind him, its Emperor Dao Power majestic and boundless.
"Zhen Yuanzi, do you think this tortoise shell can stop me? Do you really think I can't break through this Earth Fetal Membrane?"
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun exchanged a glance inside the Wuzhuang Temple, but ignored Taiyi.
Instead, they quickly constructed an array, using the innate Innate Spiritual Root Ginseng Fruit Tree as the array base. A large earth-wood array was quickly established, followed by a nine-nine soul-scattering array.
The two formations took shape instantly, and with the Earth Fetal Membrane formed by the Earth Book, Zhen Yuanzi finally felt a sense of security.
Hong Yun, still carefree, drank her wine, seemingly neither anxious nor afraid. Looking at the busy Zhen Yuanzi, she asked:
"This Taiyi is truly terrifying. Is he a cultivator?"
Zhen Yuanzi rolled his eyes at Hong Yun helplessly, then looked up at Taiyi in the Sky Vault and said, "Why do you care how others cultivate? Just know that they are more powerful than us."
"This time, we are truly in grave danger. Taiyi is relentless in his attacks on the Earth Book. We might really be in peril."
Hong Yun laughed nonchalantly and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Although we can't beat him, can Taiyi really break through the Earth Fetal Membrane? Aren't we afraid of being burdened by karma and being struck dead by a bolt of Zixiao Divine Thunder!"
The reason why Hong Yun wasn't worried was this: Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book might not be the strongest defense, but once it transformed into Earth Fetal Membrane, no one dared to truly break it.
That is the Earth Fetal Membrane, which is related to the existence of the Primordial Land. Once it is broken, the damage to the Primordial Wilderness will be immeasurable, comparable to the collapse of Buzhou Mountain or the shattering of the heavens.
Therefore, if it were truly shattered, it is estimated that Heavenly Dao and Hongjun would not be able to sit still, and they might not even allow Taiyi to break the Earth Fetal Membrane.
Taiyi Zhen Yuanzi did not reply for a long time and only kept strengthening the formation. He was confident that he could break the Earth Fetal Membrane formed by the Earth Book.
But he was indeed very wary!
He was very wary of Hongjun!
He was afraid that if his amniotic sac ruptured, Hongjun would cause him trouble, and in his current condition, he really couldn't escape Hongjun's investigation.
With both of these combined, Hongjun might actually unleash the Zixiao Divine Thunder and strike him dead!
He wasn't confident he could survive in Hongjun's hands.
The situation reached a stalemate for a moment!
"Return to the Sun Star immediately!"
After a long while, Taiyi looked up at the Golden Crow in the Sky Vault and said.
The demon race has achieved its goal of slaughtering the human race, and he himself has achieved half of his goal. All that remains is the Primordial Violet Qi in Hong Yun's hands.
Therefore, keeping the Golden Crow here is pointless and only increases the danger!
"Yes, Uncle!"
The Golden Crow were very obedient and did not refute Taiyi. Instead, they folded their wings and prepared to return to the Sun Star!
P. S.: Requesting monthly votes! Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and a happy holiday in advance!
