The Three Pure Ones Joined Forces, and the Conflict Escalated
An arrow whistled past, traversing Time and Space, its powerful force of reincarnation engulfing the Asura world of the Minghe.
An arrow pierced his chest!
Minghe stared at the scene in disbelief. Although he knew the arrow was strong, he hadn't expected it to be this strong, and his defenses had become a joke.
If I had known this would happen, I would have just attacked directly!
This scene shocked everyone present. From the battle just now, they knew that Minghe was no match for Houtu, but they never expected to lose so badly!
"Both are at the Peak Quasi-Saint, is the difference really that great?"
This was the question in everyone's mind, but most people didn't understand the terror of this arrow; they only knew that Houtu defeated the Minghe with three arrows!
This is what happens when laymen only see the spectacle!
Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun exchanged a glance, both of them shocked by the elegance of that arrow, because even if they were at the same level, they wouldn't have been able to catch it.
Minghe felt the life force draining from his body. The power of reincarnation was devouring and digesting his magic power, physical body, primordial spirit, and the Great Dao. He knew that if he didn't heal himself, he would truly be in danger of perishing.
"Houtu, what exactly do you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Houtu, who was on the verge of collapse, mustered Houtu strength and stood atop the Blood Sea, making her aura even more terrifying. To outsiders, Houtu appeared to be full of fighting spirit and completely unharmed.
But only Houtu herself knew that the Dao injury within her body had worsened. The Dao that was previously on the verge of collapse had now been completely severed, and at this moment her combat strength was only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint.
However, the Minghe on the other side was in no better shape. The two were evenly matched, so whoever had the stronger momentum would win and gain the advantage.
In the Heaven Realm, Donghua sat on his Emperor's Seat, his eyes sweeping across the scene above the Blood Sea, showing no concern for the battle between Houtu and the Minghe.
He's concerned with reincarnation!
Regardless of whether Houtu can defeat the Minghe, reincarnation is inevitable. This is not only related to the perfection of the Earthly Dao, but also has a great connection with the subsequent struggle between humanity and the human world.
If they cannot reincarnate, how can Fuxi and Hong Yun be reincarnated? If they were to be reincarnated through the Great Dao, there would be too many unstable factors.
Putting aside the fact that it would delay the attainment of human perfection, the most important question is whether the two can even return. After all, even the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun cannot interfere with the reincarnation of the Great Dao.
Otherwise, Yaochi would have been reincarnated long ago, so why is there still no information about her until now?
In addition, reincarnation is also related to the operation of the entire Primordial Wilderness system; otherwise, without a complete system, the Primordial Wilderness can never advance.
Moreover, if he were to be reincarnated, Donghua, as the Heavenly Emperor, would surely have the opportunity to interact with the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos. With this opportunity, Donghua might break through his current realm.
Most importantly, the Earthly Dao will be perfected, Primordial World will undergo an advancement. Donghua, as the Heavenly Emperor, will also receive a significant boost in fortune.
"It's time to make a trip to the Blood Sea. The matter of reincarnation must not be allowed to go wrong."
As soon as he finished speaking, Donghua took a step forward and headed towards the Blood Sea.
Meanwhile, on Kunlun Mountain, the Taishang Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable, and the Sect Master Tongtian were sitting together, working together to activate the Taiji Diagram. Golden Bridge spanned Kunlun Mountain, the Yin Yang Two Energies emerged, and the Heavenly Dao Power manifested.
The three of them joined forces and used the Heavenly Dao Power to observe the River of Time and Space in the Primordial Wilderness world. Although they did not change it in the slightest, they were able to see half of the trajectory of the Primordial Wilderness with their combined strength.
This is similar to the last time Donghua and Nuwa joined forces to determine the fate of the human race. Although it's not the same event, it follows the same principle.
After the three finished circulating their energy, the Taiji Diagram slowly descended, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.
However, none of the three spoke, seemingly trying to calm their turbulent emotions.
After a long silence, Yuanshi spoke up, "Eldest brother, third brother, Donghua's schemes in the underground and human realms have been going on for quite some time. I wonder how we should deal with them?"
Tongtian sighed and said, "We are still planning for humanity, but Donghua has already laid out arrangements in the underground tunnels. What can we do?"
The Taishang's face was rather gloomy, no longer showing his usual calm, but filled with sorrow.
After a long silence, Taishang slowly said, "I originally thought that the Dao of Earth would follow the Dao of Humanity, but I didn't expect that the opportunity for the Dao of Earth to reach its perfection would appear first, and the Dao of Humanity would follow later."
"However, the completion of the underground passage is unstoppable. Not only can it not be stopped, but it should also be assisted. The only plan is to obtain the authority over the underground passage."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded in agreement. What they said made sense. As Primordial Wilderness Saint, how could they possibly stop the ascension of heaven and earth? The only thing they could do now was to compete for control of the Earthly Dao.
However, thinking about Donghua's current arrangements in the tunnels, the three of them had a headache; he was really not easy to deal with.
The Taishang looked up towards the direction of the Blood Sea, then fixed his gaze on the Western Region, and said in a deep voice:
"Since Donghua has already made arrangements, let's bring in more people. With more people vying for it, there will always be opportunities. Isn't this the tactic Donghua taught us?"
"Moreover, this is a struggle for the power of heaven and earth. Those two fellow Daoists in the Western Region are also wise men. If the Heavenly Emperor Donghua were to seize all the benefits and power, then the Saint might really be placed below the Heavenly Emperor. I believe they would not want to see such a thing happen."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi reluctant to say something, but ultimately hesitated and remained silent, nodding in the end.
Tongtian didn't care, so he readily agreed!
Seeing that the two agreed, Taishang then said to Yuanshi, "In that case, Second Brother, I'll trouble you to go to the Western Region and Jieyin and Zhunti into the game. My Third Brother and I will go to the Blood Sea to see if we can offer any assistance, and also to witness the rise of the Earthly Path."
Above the Blood Sea, Houtu endured the injuries inflicted by the Great Dao, her body radiating a terrifying aura. Her Ancestor Witch True Body stood atop the Blood Sea, with five black holes of reincarnation floating behind her, inspiring awe in all who beheld her.
"Minghe, we'll keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. I have my own business in the Blood Sea, and I won't harm your Blood Sea in the slightest. You can rest assured!"
"So you should leave. Out of consideration for the friendship shown to me at the Purple Sky Palace, I can't bear to kill you!"
Minghe sneered, "You think you can kill me? I am the Ancestor Minghe, with three thousand Blood God Sons. As long as the Blood Sea never dries up, Minghe will never die. You're welcome to try!"
Houtu sneered, then calmly said, "Fine, then you, Minghe, just watch closely!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Houtu activated the five black holes of Houtu behind her, and the Reincarnation Great Dao stood tall above the Blood Sea.
In an instant, the world changed color!
This attack, unlike the previous one, was entirely targeted at the Blood Sea, or more precisely, at all the souls that had perished within the Blood Sea.
Wherever the five reincarnation black holes passed, all the souls of the dead above the Blood Sea flew into the black holes, and then passed through time and space to enter the Netherworld World.
Minghe watched this scene with heartache, wanting to step forward and stop it, but his injuries simply wouldn't allow him to do so.
Although he possessed three thousand Blood God Children, which allowed him to revive and achieve immortality, he didn't know how long it would take to return to his peak condition.
Now, as humanity rises and the Asura Race is about to vie for supremacy, Minghe has absolutely no time to recover from his injuries.
Houtu disregarded the Minghe's complicated feelings and calmly operated the Reincarnation Great Dao, slowly sending the souls of the dead above the Blood Sea back to the Netherworld.
Although she was seriously injured, this level of intensity was nothing to her. After all, the cycle of reincarnation was ingrained in her bones, and she could do it even with her instincts.
The Four Great Demon Kings, Zizaitian, Great Brahma Heaven, the Desire Color Heaven, and Shiva Heaven, were furious when they saw Houtu's actions. The souls of the dead on the Blood Sea are the main source of the Asura Race.
Under their control, every lost soul can be transformed into a powerful Asura Race warrior.
If Houtu continues doing this, wouldn't she be driving the Asura Race to extinction?
The group could no longer contain themselves upon seeing this!
The four Asura Kings, led by Brahma, instantly united, gathered the Asura Race, and set up a great formation. With the help of the formation, the four of them reached the Quasi-Saint.
"Ancestor, we've come to help you!"
As Brahma finished speaking, the four of them stood in the positions of the Four Symbols and charged towards the attack.
Minghe wanted to say something, but seeing Houtu using the Reincarnation Great Dao Houtu, he stopped. Although he couldn't see anything wrong with Houtu, his intuition told him that Houtu's condition was not good.
However, after so many years of caution, Minghe never wanted to take any risks, so he decided to let the Four Great Demon Kings probe the situation.
Minghe's eyes were fixed on Houtu, so much so that he couldn't even bother to heal his wounds.
But in the end, Minghe was disappointed. Faced with the attacks of the Four Great Demon Kings, Houtu remained unmoved, as if the four flying creatures were nothing more than flies.
"A group battle? Do you really think my Witch Clan is extinct?"
Xuan Ming flew out and instantly transformed into his true form. The Great Dao Power covered the Sky Vault, and the rain and Xuanbing combined. In an instant, the entire Blood Sea was hit by a torrential downpour, and the blood-red Blood Sea was frozen by Xuanbing, turning into a world of red ice.
Anyone who comes into contact with the rainwater is instantly evaporated; this water is no ordinary water, but rather a manifestation of the power of the Great Dao Rules.
Before the rules, everyone is equal; if your cultivation is insufficient, you will be defeated instantly!
Although Brahma and the others possessed Quasi-Saint power with the help of the great formation, how could they be a match for Xuan Ming? In just one round, the four of them were suppressed by Xuan Ming and frozen on the Blood Sea, turning into four ice sculptures.
Xuan Ming looked at Minghe and said, "Minghe, let me tell you today, even the fallen Witch Clan is no match for you!"
"If you are not convinced, we can lead our army and fight a battle on this Blood Sea!"
At this moment, Xuan Ming's battle intent soared to the sky, and the Turbid Sha Qi of the earth swept across the Sky Vault, as if the Witch Clan, who once dominated the Primordial Wilderness, had returned.
Minghe roared angrily, "You vile Xuan Ming, do you really think this is still the era of the Lich King? Today, your ancestor will show you that decline is decline!"
He, Minghe, cultivated the Slaughter Great Dao, yet he was terrified of dying his whole life. Today, he was being mocked by Xuan Ming like this. How could he bear it? At worst, he would use the Blood God Child to return.
Despite his injuries, Minghe summoned back the Abi Yuantu and the Karma Red Lotus.
Stepping onto the red lotus, the karmic fire instantly ignited, burning the reincarnation power left Houtu. However, this situation was a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of one's own, because the karmic fire also set the Minghe ablaze.
This shows the wrath of the Minghe!
"Fellow Daoist Guiyuan, would you be willing to help me, Minghe, today?" Minghe endured the burning of karmic fire, mobilized the Great Dao Power within his body, and slowly spoke towards a certain space.
A moment later, a sigh came from the void, and then a figure appeared above the Blood Sea, dressed in a Daoist robe, with white beard and silver hair, holding a whisk.
"Fellow Minghe Styx, why are you doing this?"
Minghe looked at Houtu and Xuan Ming in the distance and said angrily, "Kindness is often taken advantage of. Even our ancestor has been driven to his own dojo. If we still back down, what's the point of cultivating the Great Dao? We might as well not cultivate it at all!"
Daoist Guiyuan sighed again, then said, "We have known each other since the Ancient Dragon-Han Period. You, Minghe, have even saved my life. How can I not repay you!"
Daoist Guiyuan was also an Innate Deities who cultivated the Divine Dao and attained enlightenment during the Dragon-Han Period. He had the cultivation level of Mid Quasi-Saint and was not a guest of the Purple Sky Palace. He was a deity who survived from the ancient era.
There are still some people like Guiyuan in the Primordial Wilderness, but these people have long given up on becoming powerful in the prehistoric world. They simply create their own worlds and cultivate the Great Dao within them, hoping to catch a glimpse Hun Yuan the Primordial Wilderness Chaos.
Some people have given up on cultivation altogether, started to drift along, and found solace in nature, having long abandoned the path of cultivation.
Minghe laughed and said, "Alright, then it doesn't count as us becoming acquainted. If I win this battle, I'll treat you to drinks, and then we can celebrate our friendship!"
No one was surprised to see this scene. Even a broken ship still had three thousand nails. As a top-level Innate Deities and the lord of the Blood Sea Minghe, how could Styx not have one or two fellow Daoists?
Minghe was overjoyed and wanted to fight to the death, but Houtu on the other side was on tenterhooks. She did not expect that Xuan Ming's move would not only not make Minghe back down, but would instead arouse Minghe's fighting spirit.
"Things have gotten complicated!"
Houtu's heart was filled with turbulent emotions, but she remained calm and instead increased the output of the power of reincarnation.
"Minghe, since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish and let me witness the wonders of the Blood God Child!"
A great war is about to break out!
Even the spectators stepped back this time, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire, because they all knew that if this battle started, it would be a fight to the death, the kind that would end in a fight to the last man.
Back then, neither side cared who you were, what your status or background was.
Xuan Ming's face was gloomy. She could not back down today, whether for her younger sister Houtu or for the sake of the Witch Clan.
If we retreat today, the Witch Clan will forever become a laughingstock of the Primordial Wilderness, a power that can no longer be respected and will inspire fear in no one.
Xuan Ming gathered the Great Dao Power, and a signal rang out in the Sky Vault.
Houtu also stopped the transfer of the dead souls, and used the power of the Great Dao Rules to directly move the Netherworld World to the vicinity of the Blood Sea. Behind her, from the five black holes, the Witch Clan army flew out continuously.
Xing Tian, Xiang Liu, Jiu Feng, Tian Cang, Tian Feng, Xuan Yu, and other Great Witch all arrived above the Blood Sea, and a battle formation was instantly formed.
Clearly, Houtu and the others had long been prepared for the final battle.
On the Minghe side, countless Asura had also gathered, with the Four Great Demon Generals leading a group of Asura warriors in battle formation.
Among the onlookers, the Great Commander of Fate watched the scene unfold before her, wondering whether she should step forward to intervene, or rather, whether she should make a move once the decisive battle had begun.
After all, Houtu was one of the six emperors of the Heavenly Court appointed by Donghua, and the Witch Clan was also a subordinate force of the Heavenly Court. Strictly speaking, he should have helped the Witch Clan.
However, I cannot help the Witch Clan on my own today, and it might even exacerbate the conflict between the two sides.
The main reason was that he didn't know what Donghua was thinking, so he didn't dare to act on his own.
At this moment, above the Blood Sea, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. The turbid Turbid Qi of the earth and the power of the Blood Sea asura filled the sky, making a great battle inevitable.
This was the largest battle in the Primordial Wilderness since the unification of the Purple Mansion.
One side is the declining Witch Clan.
On one side is the rising Blood Sea Asura.
The outcome remains to be seen!
This also opened the prelude to the humanitarian struggle!
