Immediately after the death of the eight Golden Crow, almost all the Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness knew about it. After all, Houyi made no attempt to conceal it, and the scene of the eight Golden Crow falling was witnessed by everyone.

"Houyi was truly a brave warrior!"

"The Witch Clan is truly formidable. They dared to so openly shoot and kill Di Jun's son. It's true what they say, once someone's power is gone, their influence fades. The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun's prestige is no longer what it used to be."

"No matter how good my uncle is, he is still not as good as my father. I just don't know Taiyi will avenge his nephew and start the Third Lich War."

"You know what, it's actually possible. Isn't there a rumor that he's Taiyi's son?"

Throughout the Primordial Wilderness, discussions abounded, with everyone eager to see what would happen and whether Taiyi would actually send troops.

Meanwhile, Taiyi, who was on Longevity Mountain, also sensed his nephew's demise, and his face turned terribly grim.

"Fei Dan, you lead the army to surround Longevity Mountain. I'll be right back!"

As soon as Taiyi finished speaking, space and time surged, and he instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already at the place where Houyi had shot down the eight Golden Crow.

Here he sensed the despair of the Eight Golden Crow, and then the River of Time and Space appeared, Taiyi captured a fragment of what had happened here before.

After reading it, Taiyi's face became even more gloomy. He never expected that all eight of his nephews would die at the hands of Houyi. How could he explain this to the deceased Di Jun and Xi He?

"Houyi, I will surely kill you!"

After Taiyi finished speaking, he tried to calculate Houyi's position, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

This was something he truly couldn't understand. Although the Heavenly Secret were in chaos during this great calamity, it didn't matter to him. So why couldn't he deduce Houyi's whereabouts?

"Could it be that someone else has made a move?"

Taiyi was completely baffled, so he got up and returned to the Heavenly Court to find Little Ten and ask him for an explanation.

Meanwhile, Houyi had already arrived at the Purple Mansion in the East Sea, which was why Taiyi couldn't calculate it.

Before leaving, Donghua set up an array in the Purple Mansion, disrupting all the secrets of Heavenly Secret, making it impossible for anyone to calculate the situation in the Purple Mansion.

That's how Houyi managed to escape with his life!

"Houyi of the Witch Clan requests an audience with the Queen Mother of the West of the West!"

Among the three islands in the East Sea, Houyi, holding Chang'e, shouted loudly.

"Come in!"

A voice rang out, and then the great formation opened, and the Qing Niao flew out, leading Houyi to the Jingyang Palace.

Before Houyi could say anything, the West Queen Mother, seated above, spoke up, "Houtu has already informed me of your purpose, so I am aware of your arrival. Is this your wife, Chang'e?"

At this moment, Houyi no longer possessed the arrogance of Great Witch. He knelt on one knee and said to the West Queen Mother, "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and save Chang'e. Houyi will surely repay you!"

The West Queen Mother smiled and said softly, "No need for repayment. There's nothing I need you to do here. However, I will save your wife, Chang'e."

"Besides, what you need to do now is not to repay me, but to survive under Taiyi. Di Jun only had ten sons, and you killed eight of them. The death of the third son was more or less related to you."

"So Taiyi won't let you go, and Houtu can't save you either. You can only rely on yourself."

After the West Queen Mother finished speaking, she waved her right hand and sent out a beam of light, drawing Chang'e to her side. A flash of light appeared, and the Great Dao Power entered Chang'e's body.

"Huh?"

As the West Queen Mother investigated, her brows furrowed. What she had initially thought was a minor matter now appeared to be quite serious.

If it were just her previous injuries, it wouldn't be a big problem for her. But now, Chang'e has been severely injured again by the Golden Crow's True Sun Fire. With both of these injuries combined, her situation is really dire.

Chang'e is currently clinging to life by a thread, and this thread is stabilized by Houtu's Reincarnation Great Dao of reincarnation.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you can do this?" Houyi looked at the frowning West Queen Mother, his heart pounding in his chest, afraid of hearing some bad news.

"The situation is bad, but it's not a big deal for me yet. However, this time I have to go all out!"

After the West Queen Mother finished speaking, a nine-thousand-year-old Flat Peach and a golden pill appeared in her hand. The pill was the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, which was given to her by the Taishang in the past, but today it was used on Chang'e.

The West Queen Mother did not directly feed the golden elixir and Flat Peach to Chang'e. Instead, she refined them using the Moon Great Dao, transforming them into pure power, Moon Great Dao slowly entered Chang'e's body and was absorbed by her.

The powerful Moon Great Dao nourished Chang'e's divine body, and the weak Dao of Chang'e was mobilized by the West Queen Mother, and began to operate on its own.

Chang'e's pale face gradually regained its color!

However, as time passed, the power of the Flat Peach and the elixir had been completely absorbed, but Chang'e still hadn't woken up.

Upon seeing this, the West Queen Mother summoned the Kunlun Mirror. The power of time and space surged, directly sucking Chang'e into the mirror. She was cleansed by the power of time and space of the Kunlun Mirror, which activated the Primordial Spirit Power Chang'e's primordial spirit.

The Kunlun Mirror spun, and three days later, Chang'e flew out of the mirror.

When Chang'e emerged, she was radiant and her cultivation had actually reached the Grand Unity Realm. She exuded a cold and aloof aura, giving off an impression that strangers should not approach her.

But that makes sense, since both the Flat Peach and the golden pills are rare spiritual objects. Moreover, they were refined by the West Queen Mother using the Moon Great Dao and the Kunlun Mirror, and gradually sent into Chang'e's body. It would be strange if her strength didn't increase!

Houyi excitedly stepped forward and hugged Chang'e tightly!

Seeing Houyi rushing towards her, Chang'e involuntarily took a step back, trying to dodge, but Houyi had already caught her in his arms.

"Alright, Chang'e's injuries have healed. You may all leave!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will remember this Houyi forever and never forget it. If Your Majesty ever needs my Houyi again, I will certainly not refuse!"

Houyi bowed to the West Queen Mother with great excitement, his eyes filled with joy.

However, Houyi, immersed in joy, did not notice his wife's unusual behavior.

Houyi and Chang'e left, and this time Houyi used the River of Time and Space to return to Mount Tai.

Watching the two depart, the West Queen Mother couldn't help but chuckle softly, sighing, "This Houyi is truly the nemesis of the demon race. He killed eight of Di Jun's sons and even slept with one of Di Jun's women."

"Tsk tsk tsk, thank goodness Di Jun is dead, otherwise he could have been driven to his death by anger."

"But this is truly going to be a good show, Fellow Daoist Chang Xi. I'd like to know what your choice will be: to return to the Heavenly Court, or to continue being with Houyi."

Just as Chang'e emerged from the Kunlun Mirror, she had regained her memories of her Previous Life. She was none other than Chang Xi, the Moon Star who had been shot down by Dayi!

The two truly had a love-hate relationship. In their Previous Life, Chang Xi died at the hands of Dayi, and Dayi was essentially dead because of Chang Xi. The only one alive now is Houyi.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

In the Heavenly Court, after learning the whole story from the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow, Taiyi immediately set off for Mount Tai. He wanted to demand an explanation from the Witch Clan, otherwise this matter would not end!

The Golden Crow watched Taiyi leave, examined its own body, and said, "I didn't expect to actually survive. Although most of my schemes failed, as long as I'm alive, there's still a chance."

"Donghua, we'll see!"

Golden Crow, no, it should be said that Lu Ya, at this moment, Lu Ya's scheme finally succeeded, and he successfully grafted it onto the Golden Crow.

Taiyi descended from the sky, landing directly on the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai. His powerful aura suppressed the entire area, causing the entire Mount Tai to tremble.

"Houtu, hand over Houyi, and this matter will be over. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and washing your Mount Tai in blood!"

Houtu leaped out, her face ashen, and angrily rebuked, "Taiyi, you're really getting worse with age! Your nephews tried to kill Houyi but were killed instead, and you still have the nerve to come here? You're truly shameless!"

Taiyi snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, sharp-tongued Houtu, I don't want to say anything more to you today. Either hand over Houyi, or let's fight!"

"Fine, let's fight! You really think we're afraid of you?!" Houtu's temper wasn't just for show; otherwise, she wouldn't be a member of the Witch Clan.

Moreover, regardless of whether Houyi was at fault or not, this matter could not be entrusted to Taiyi; otherwise, what right would she have to remain Ancestor Witch?

A longbow appeared in Houtu's hand, and the Great Dao Power gathered within it. She raised her hand and shot Taiyi.

"A trivial skill!"

Taiyi use the Chaos Bell; he simply extended two fingers to catch the incoming arrow in his hand, as if the immense Daoist aura on the arrow didn't exist.

Houtu seeing this, Houtu's heart sank. Although her arrow was simple, it was not something that could be easily intercepted. It seemed that Taiyi must have broken through to the Quasi-Saint.

"Houtu, I don't want to fight your Witch Clan right now. Hand over Houyi, and I'll leave!" Taiyi didn't rush to attack. After receiving Houtu's attack, he spoke again.

Although he longed to destroy the Witch Clan, he knew now was not the time. He needed to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi from Hong Yun as soon as possible, break through to the Hun Yuan, and achieve the true Emperor's Seat.

By then, neither the Donghua nor the Witch Clan will be worth mentioning; he can wipe them out with a flick of his wrist!

"Taiyi, this isn't the first time we've met. If you want to fight, then fight! Why waste words!"

Houtu finished speaking, time and space surged, and the other ten Ancestor Witch rushed over from Buzhou Mountain.

After Dijiang arrived, he said, "Taiyi, if you're not as skilled as others, don't come out and embarrass yourself. It can only be said that the Golden Crow was destined for this calamity. You should leave!"

Dijiang's tone was calm, and it was clear from his words that neither side wanted to fight, because they had a common enemy, the Purple Mansion, and neither wanted to start a war at this time and deplete their strength.

Therefore, both sides exercised great restraint!

However, no matter how much restraint they exercised, this battle was inevitable. Taiyi could not stand by and watch his nephew die without doing anything, and the Witch Clan could not hand over Houyi.

Therefore, the only option is to fight!

Taiyi stopped talking nonsense, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a Dharma image appeared behind him. The sun and moon hung in the sky, and domineering True Sun Fire erupted from his body, surrounding him. The true fire burned, causing the surrounding space to fluctuate and become chaotic.

The Chaos Bell detached from the body and hovered above the head. A clear bell sound rang out, surrounded by Earth Fire Water Wind. The Star Dou were hidden within it, with 365 main stars manifesting and tens of thousands of other stars faintly appearing, as if it were a miniature world of Starry Sky.

Then a bell rang, suppressing Myriad Worlds, and endless time and space.

The Sun and Moon Essence Wheel was unleashed by Taiyi, and the Yin and Yang shone brightly, their power hurtling towards the Ancestor Witch!

At this moment, the Ancestor Witch dared not be careless, after all, Taiyi had already broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Dijiang and Houtu were at the Peak Quasi-Saint at this time. After exchanging glances, they attacked simultaneously.

Houtu unleashed a punch, and the power of the Ancestor Witch's True Body Power, carrying endless reincarnation power, transformed into Six Paths Black Holes, devouring everything, even the Great Dao itself.

One punch to crush everything!

One path can suppress all others!

The Way of Earth and the Reincarnation Great Dao are born from each other, with immeasurable power nurtured within them. The power of time and space also surges between the two paths. This is the Great Dao enlightenment that Donghua gained through cultivation. Using the Way of Time and Space as a harmonizing agent, Houtu perfectly merged the two paths together.

Houtu thus broke through to the peak realm, no longer restricted by her true form, and forged her own path.

"Reincarnation!"

Houtu roared and soared into the sky, charging towards Taiyi in the Sky Vault.

Taiyi did the same, throwing a punch indifferently. This punch was not as Houtu as Houtu's; it seemed as if only the True Sun Fire was surging.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed through the Sky Vault, Houtu was slammed to the ground by Taiyi's punch, involuntarily spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Is the difference really that big?"

Although they already knew the power of breaking through to Quasi-Saint level, they did not expect the gap to be so large; they couldn't even withstand Taiyi.

Dijiang, who was about to make a move, stopped, because fighting one-on-one was pointless; they were no match for Taiyi.

"Form ranks!"

Dijiang roared, and the eleven Ancestor Witch instantly returned to their positions. Their Great Daos converged, and an inexplicably powerful force rose up, originating from the eleven Ancestor Witch. It was filled with a fierce aura that could destroy everything, covering the sky and earth, yet it also appeared exceptionally sacred.

The Divine Blood Qi mixed with the Innate Turbid Sha Qi gradually formed a Dharma image, which stood behind the Ancestor Witch. In an instant, the clouds in the nine heavens moved, the Sky Vault trembled, and the earth cried out!

Then the Twelve Ancestor Witches chanted the name "Pangu," Pangu True Body reappeared in the Primordial Wilderness.

This time, it was truly incredible that only eleven Ancestor Witch were able to summon the Pangu True Body.

"Does the Dutian Great Formation necessarily require the Twelve Ancestor Witches?"

Those who witnessed this scene speculated that, previously, with the combined power of the entire Witch Clan, they had successfully summoned Pangu True Body, and this time, only eleven Ancestor Witch had managed to do so.

The Pangu True Body was ethereal and mysterious, as if the place where that figure was located was the place of the Dao. Born outside of time and space, transcending fate and cause and effect, it was beyond people's comprehension and understanding.

In an instant, a terrifying and malevolent power emanated from the solidifying figure, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

The Primordial World began to tremble, as if in jubilation, and the Three Thousand Great Daos appeared accordingly, before finally fading into silence.

Looking at the powerful Pangu True Body, Taiyi frowned. He hadn't expected that the Pangu True Body summoned by the eleven Ancestor Witch would also possess the strength of Hun Yuan.

However, a fierce glint appeared in Taiyi's eyes, and his aura became even more terrifying once again.

"So what if it 'Pangu True Body? Is he truly invincible?"

"Today I will shatter this true form!"

Taiyi finished speaking, the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel rose into the sky, mobilizing the power of the yin and yang, and a star map appeared beneath his feet, connecting the Star Dou.

The Chaos Bell grew larger again, and the Star Dou on it became even clearer and brighter.

"Fall!"

Taiyi slammed his palm onto the chaos, imbued with the Great Dao Power and the power of the Star Dou. The vast bell-shaped body was comparable to the Pangu True Body, one standing on the earth and the other occupying the nine heavens.

The two are facing each other from afar!

The Chaos Bell Seal Heaven Seal and the earth; beneath its mouth, all laws ceased to exist, the Great Dao vanished, suppressing everything, and heading towards the Pangu True Body on the earth.

"Arrogant!"

On the earth, the Ancestor Witch who were casting the Dutian Great Formation were furious when they saw this scene. They never expected Taiyi to be so arrogant, actually trying to seal Pangu True Body directly with the Chaos Bell.

The eleven Ancestor Witch exerted their power together, and the power of the Great Dao Rules, along with the turbid Turbid Qi of the earth and the infinite power of eons, were absorbed and all added to the Pangu True Body.

Pangu True Body moved, raising the Sky-Opening Divine Axe. With a sudden swing, a beam of axe light, hundreds of millions of miles long, slashed out. Terrifying magical power raged, shattering the Qiankun, throwing the earth into chaos, and tearing apart endless light.

Wherever the axe's blade passed, the Four Symbols elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind were re-evolved between heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

The axe's edge and the Chaos Bell collided, creating a tremendous shockwave. Where the two collided, the void shattered, and the aura of the Great Dao's nothingness permeated the air.

The endless shockwaves instantly destroyed countless mountain peaks, even Mount Tai was pressed down by hundreds of meters, and the Jade Emperor Peak ceased to exist.

"Are you trying to stop people from cultivating? These brainless idiots, instead of focusing on their training, they're always fighting."

Looking at the temple destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle, Bi Xia Yuan Jun of Mount Tai was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she was helpless and dared not utter a sound to stop it.

After cursing a few times, Bi Xia Yuan Jun and her disciples vanished from the Daoist temple in an instant. She needed to hide for a few days, otherwise she wouldn't even know how she died.

In the Sky Vault, neither side gained the upper hand in their first battle.

With the help of the power of the Star Dou and his own cultivation level, Taiyi withstood the attack of Pangu True Body without sustaining any injury.

"Is this all you've got? These are just external forces. Today, I'll show you my true power!"

Taiyi glanced disdainfully at the Ancestor Witch and the Pangu True Body on the earth, and once again activated the Chaos Bell.

In the Starry Sky, endless stellar primordial power descended, was condensed by Taiyi into Hunyuan Power, and then added to the Chaos Bell.

The power of the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure from the beginning of creation, was unleashed to its fullest extent, suppressing the primordial chaos and reversing time and space. This was not just boasting, but the inherent power of the Chaos Bell itself.

As Taiyi activated the Chaos Bell once more, the Chaos Bell shimmered with light, revealing the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos within it. The sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and all the myriad races of the heavens appeared one by one.

"Dang!"

With a single toll of the bell, it seemed as if the entire Primordial Wilderness had come to a standstill. The Chaos Bell descended once more, heading towards the Pangu True Body on the earth, as Taiyi determined to suppress Pangu True Body.

The eleven Ancestor Witch exerted their power simultaneously, Ancestor Witch true blood emitting a unique red light, and the power of the Great Dao Rules surged, instantly neutralizing the suppressive power of the Chaos Bell.

Pangu True Body moved once more.

This time, Pangu True Body rose directly off the ground, his Sky-Opening Divine Axe brimming with immeasurable power.

"One axe splits the heavens!"

A resounding voice of the Great Dao rang out, followed by a white axe-like beam of light that traversed endless time and space, as if this light was the only thing in the world.

The power of creation and the suppressive power of the Chaos Bell collided once again.

This collision shattered the heavens and earth, and endless waters and Chaos Qi Flow surged onto Mount Tai, instantly engulfing some humans and Witch Clan, who were eventually reduced to ashes.

Chang'e, living among her tribe, watched the battle in the Sky Vault and felt extremely distressed. She didn't know what to do. It was truly a cruel joke of fate that she was reincarnated as a human and married Houyi. Houyi even killed eight Golden Crow because of her.

"What a terrible fate, what a tragic destiny!"

"Perhaps it's time to leave. I can't let them keep fighting because of me!"

Chang'e murmured a few words, then used the Great Dao Power to write directly in the void above the room!

"Yi, this letter is like seeing you in person. I have awakened my memories of my Previous Life. From this day forward, I am no longer your wife. Live well, and I will try to persuade Taiyi to stop..."

Once the writing was finished, the characters transformed into a letter and landed on the table.

Chang'e took a lingering look at her home. In truth, she was both Chang Xi and Chang'e, the two being inseparable. Perhaps Chang'e held a more significant place, for in this life, she was Chang'e, Chang Xi was already dead.

She simply didn't know how to face Houyi, or how to handle this situation.

If Houyi hadn't shot down the Golden Crow, she could have continued living here. But since it had already happened, she couldn't pretend she didn't know.

Chang'e sighed and then left!

At this moment, the battle between the Ancestor Witch and Taiyi was still undecided, but after the fierce fighting, everyone was injured, and neither the Ancestor Witch nor Taiyi was in good condition.

However, neither side backed down. Although they were reluctant to fight, the fight had already begun and they had no choice but to fight.

Both sides began to gather their strength, preparing for the third attack, which would be the decisive blow.

The chilling atmosphere atop Mount Tai grew increasingly terrifying!

All the Great Powers beings of the Primordial Wilderness were focused on this place, waiting for the outcome to be decided, or for both sides to suffer heavy losses.

Especially in the Purple Mansion, after witnessing this battle, everyone felt both happy and bitter; the Lich's backup plan was truly formidable.

The West Queen Mother looked at the crowd and said, "Gentlemen, the Lich King's power is still very strong. We need to work harder. We can't rely on His Majesty to solve everything. Otherwise, what use are we?"

The crowd answered in unison, "We will heed Your Majesty's teachings!"

The West Queen Mother nodded and said again, "His Majesty should be returning soon. We should make all preparations. The Dou Bu, Lei Bu, Shui Bu, Fire Department Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Phoenix Clan, Kirin Clan, and Myriad Treasures Pavilion should all be mobilized. The practice of the Myriad Immortals Formation cannot stop for a moment."

"With the decisive battle imminent, you must not let your guard down."

After speaking, the West Queen Mother turned her gaze to the Southern Dipper Six Star Lords: "How is your work in winning over and searching for the Star God progressing? Are you able to replace the demon race and control the Star Dou?"

P. S.: Requesting some guaranteed monthly votes at the beginning of the month.
