Ancestor Witch Joins the Fray, Laozi Fights the Many with the Few

This was a result of mutual destruction, or a case of jade and stone both burning to ashes.

No one expected Chu Yan to not hesitate in the slightest.

Countless living beings were so frightened their legs went weak—this guy was simply a madman.

Watching so much destiny burn wildly, the various Great Powers felt pained to their very cores.

Nuwa, Taiqing, Yuanshi, Jieyin and Zhunti, and others were so anxious sweat beaded on their foreheads.

"Such fine destiny, and this bastard would rather waste it than give it to us. This is utterly outrageous, utterly outrageous—."

At this moment, the golden light all over Chu Yan was subtly beginning to transform, turning into a scarlet Killing Intent.

The Killing Spear in his hand was slowly solidifying.

Weng—.

His eyes snapped open:

"Taiqing, take this spear—."

"Hmph, you go too far. Do you truly think I fear you?"

Taiqing manipulated the Taiji Diagram to counterattack.

"Today, I, Taiqing, will seize this Killing Spear of yours and completely suppress you."

Taiqing had thrown caution to the wind. Since the Heavenly Dao was in chaos these days anyway, what was there to fear?

Rumble...

The two sides fought wildly, battling until the sky and earth went dark.

Taiqing unleashed every means at his disposal, deploying all kinds of divine powers and Dao techniques.

Yet Chu Yan broke through them all with a single spear strike.

The terrifying Human Race Killing Spear erupted with dreadful power, and for a time, the fight with Taiqing was evenly matched.

Endless mountains were destroyed, and the Primordial World's earth was riddled with holes from the Killing Spear's thrusts.

Countless living beings died miserably.

Yet neither side's battle ceased.

"Chu Yan, the Human Race Destiny is nearly bottomed out, and you're still burning it. Stop now—."

Taiqing was afraid. Once the Human Race Destiny burned away completely, even becoming a sage would be futile. But all he could do was watch helplessly as Chu Yan burned it to ashes.

"Hmph, I do as I please. If you don't like it, come and bite me?"

Chu Yan burned with fury once more, his voice ringing throughout the entire Primordial World:

"You want the Human Race Destiny? Not a chance. I'd rather destroy it completely than let you have a single shred. Taiqing, fight to the death. Today, either you die or I do. Come, battle—."

In an instant, karmic fire blazed across the heavens, turning the entire Primordial World into waves of scorching heat.

The boundless destiny of the human race erupted in a tide of flames at that moment.

"Chu Yan, stop."

"Chu Yan, you madman, stop right now! That's the Human Race Destiny!"

The countless Great Powers could no longer sit still, each one shouting frantically.

It was like watching a mountain of delicious food being dumped out rather than given to you—infuriating, wasn't it?

"Chu Yan, stop."

Yuanshi couldn't hold back either, directly casting down his Dharma Body to descend upon Buzhou Mountain.

"Burning the Human Race Destiny like this—you're trying to bury the entire human race with you."

"Chu Yan, if you don't want the Human Race Destiny, give it to the West. The West has a connection to this destiny."

Jieyin and Zhunti's Dharma Bodies also projected over.

Even Tongtian offered kind advice.

But Chu Yan only gave a cold snort:

"Brother Tongtian, do me a favor. Please don't involve yourself in this matter. The human race's affairs will be settled by the human race. Otherwise, don't blame me, Chu Yan, for turning a blind eye to kinship."

"You..."

Tongtian was stunned on the spot. He wanted to say more, but seeing Chu Yan's resolute face, he suddenly thought of himself.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you insist, I won't stop you. If you lose this battle, I, Tongtian, will burn Pangu's Primordial Spirit itself to ensure your survival."

With those words, Tongtian's projection vanished.

Then, Chu Yan turned to Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti and said loudly:

"What? Still not leaving? Then don't blame me for being rude."

Boom—.

Only Chu Yan turned into a sharp beam of light, the Killing Spear carrying terrifying Human Race Killing Intent, instantly piercing through their projections.

He directly blasted them on the spot.

"Chu Yan, you..."

Yuanshi was furious, how dare this guy shatter his own projection? Utterly rebellious.

"Hmph, less nonsense, this time I hit your projection, next time I will definitely strike your lair and take your head."

The moment those last words burst out, Chu Yan's Killing Intent had reached its limit.

"I said, no matter who, if they dare to lay a finger on the Human Race, I will kill them. Taiqing, today, even if the Human Race is completely wiped out, I will take you down. You have nowhere to flee."

As his voice fell, Chu Yan transformed into a Sky-Supporting Giant again.

"Kill—."

Endless slaughter erupted, charging straight at Taiqing.

"Hmph, stubborn and unyielding. Since that's the case, I'll kill you, then use the Taiji Diagram to suppress the Human Race Destiny. Even if I bear endless karmic sin, I accept it."

The Taiji Diagram erupted fully, and Taiqing roared loudly:

"Dare to hinder my path to sainthood, it's death or nothing—."

At this moment, both sides erupted into a decisive battle, all kinds of Dao techniques and divine abilities flashing in myriad colors.

After a long while, a sudden earth-shaking boom rang out, and both sides retreated from each other.

Taiqing's hair was disheveled, his blood and qi churning, clearly beaten ragged by Chu Yan.

But on Chu Yan's side, the Killing Spear had been chipped.

Chu Yan himself had a large hole in his chest, blood gushing out continuously.

A deep wound on his back exposed the bone.

The Human Race Destiny had also been heavily drained, and the flames around his body were no longer as vigorous as before.

The entire Human Race coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Yet even so, Chu Yan still straightened his body, standing proudly in the void.

This sight made the endless Great Powers of the Primordial World gasp sharply.

"So strong, facing Taiqing who holds the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram, Chu Yan can still beat Taiqing into a mess."

"What a pity, Chu Yan has no cultivation at all, ultimately unable to defeat Taiqing. Even with the Human Race Destiny's support, the cost is too great."

The two stood opposite each other in the void. Chu Yan's whole body ached as if he were going mad, but he still endured.

"Damn it, this Taiji Diagram is really in the way, otherwise I could kill Taiqing even if it cost me my life."

Chu Yan's rage was boundless. No matter what, Taiqing had to die today.

This battle wasn't just about an oath; it was about the future of the Human Race.

This battle had to be fought, and this Taiqing had to be killed.

Otherwise, the consequences would be endless.

Suddenly, he looked toward the Ancestor Witch Divine Hall, his eyes locking instantly with the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

"Taiqing must die today. Du Tian Shen Sha, help me seize the Taiji Diagram."

"Good—."

The Twelve Ancestor Witches, having recovered some strength, didn't hesitate at all. They directly manifested their Ancestor Witch True Bodies, leaping in one bound to the area around Taiqing and Chu Yan.

This sight made all the Living Beings of the Primordial World change color in terror.

"Damn it, the Witch Race has moved out."

Taiqing's face also changed drastically:

"Witch Race, this matter has nothing to do with you. Withdraw quickly."

"Hmph, the Human Race is closely tied to our Witch Race. Taiqing, acting so recklessly against the Human Race is far too disrespectful."

"That's right, today we're going to smash you flat no matter what."

Taiqing's face turned ashen. With the Twelve Ancestor Witches joining the battle, if he fought back, he would surely bear karmic sin.

"Chu Yan, ganging up on me, what kind of skill is that?"

Taiqing panicked. How the hell was he supposed to fight this?

His roar made the endless Living Beings of the Primordial World burst into laughter:

"Taiqing is backing down."

"Hmph, did he really think holding the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram made him invincible? Relying on being the Dao Ancestor's first disciple to look down on others, today he's finally going to get his comeuppance."

Chu Yan directly let out a great roar:

"This Old Man is ganging up on you, and you'll just have to take it whether you like it or not."

The Twelve Ancestor Witches didn't hesitate for a moment and struck directly.

In an instant, the already dim sky darkened once more.

"Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha—!"

They dropped the Trump Card right from the start, asking Taiqing if he could take it.

"No—."
