This could end with both sides suffering heavy losses, or even mutual destruction.
Who would have thought Chu Yan wouldn't hesitate for even a moment?
Countless living beings were so frightened their legs went weak. This guy was fucking insane.
Watching so much destiny burn away, the great powers across the realms felt the pain of it.
Nuwa, Taiqing, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others were so anxious they were sweating profusely.
"What a waste of destiny! That bastard would rather squander it than give us any. This is simply too much—too much!"
At that moment, the golden light around Chu Yan began to transform, turning into a crimson killing intent.
The Killing Spear in his hand was slowly taking shape.
Whoosh—
His eyes snapped open.
"Taiqing, take my spear!"
"Hmph! You've gone too far. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Taiqing controlled the Taiji Diagram and counterattacked.
"Today, I'll take your Killing Spear and suppress you once and for all!"
Taiqing was going all out. The Heavenly Dao was in chaos these days, so what was there to fear?
Rumble...
The two fought with reckless abandon, turning heaven and earth upside down.
Taiqing brought all his methods to bear, unleashing every kind of divine ability and Dao art.
Yet Chu Yan broke through them all with a single thrust.
The terrifying Human Race Killing Spear unleashed its devastating might. For a time, Chu Yan fought Taiqing to a standstill.
Countless mountains and rivers were destroyed, and the Primordial World was left riddled with holes by the Killing Spear.
An unknown number of living beings perished.
Yet neither side stopped fighting.
"Chu Yan, the Human Race Destiny is almost spent, and you're still burning it! Stop!"
Taiqing was terrified. Once the Human Race Destiny was completely burned away, even becoming a Saint would be pointless. But all he could do was watch helplessly as Chu Yan burned himself to ashes.
"Hmph, I'll do as I please. If you don't like it, come bite me!"
Chu Yan's fury flared, and he burned even more fiercely. His voice rang across the entire Primordial World.
"You want the Human Race Destiny? Not a chance! I'd rather destroy it completely than let any of you take even a fraction of it. Taiqing, we fight to the death! Today, either you die or I do. Come on!"
In an instant, karmic flames blazed through the heavens, and waves of heat swept across the entire Primordial World.
The Human Race's boundless destiny erupted into a tide of flames.
"Chu Yan, stop!"
"Chu Yan, you madman! Stop already—that's the Human Race Destiny!"
The countless great powers could no longer sit still. One after another, they shouted in a frenzy.
It was like watching someone throw away a mountain of food rather than let you have a bite. Wouldn't that drive you mad?
"Chu Yan, stop!"
Yuanshi couldn't hold back either. His Dharma Body descended upon Buzhou Mountain.
"By burning the Human Race Destiny like this, you're dragging the entire Human Race down with you!"
"Chu Yan, if you don't want the Human Race Destiny, give it to the Western Lands. We in the West are destined to have it!"
The Dharma Bodies of Jieyin and Zhunti projected themselves there as well.
Even Tongtian tried to reason with him.
But Chu Yan only gave a cold snort.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, do me a favor and stay out of this. The Human Race's affairs are for the Human Race to settle. Otherwise, don't blame me, Chu Yan, for showing no mercy to anyone."
"You..."
Tongtian was at a loss for words. He was about to say something, but when he saw Chu Yan's resolute expression, he suddenly thought of himself.
"Forget it. Since you're determined, I won't stop you. If you lose, even if I have to burn Pangu's Primordial Spirit, I'll make sure you survive."
With that, Tongtian's projection vanished.
Then Chu Yan looked at Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti and shouted, "What? You're still not leaving? Don't blame me for what happens next!"
Rumble—
Chu Yan transformed into a streak of light. The Killing Spear, carrying the terrifying killing intent of the Human Race, pierced through their projections in an instant.
They burst apart on the spot.
"Chu Yan, you..."
Yuanshi was furious. This guy had actually dared to shatter his projection. It was utterly outrageous!
"Hmph, enough whining. This time, I only struck your projection. If you try it again, I'll come straight to your lair and take your head."
As he uttered those final words, Chu Yan's killing intent reached its limit.
"I said it before: whoever dares to lay a hand on the Human Race, I'll kill. Taiqing, even if the entire Human Race dies today, I'll take you down. There's nowhere for you to run."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan once again became a Sky-Supporting Giant.
"Kill!"
Boundless killing intent erupted and surged toward Taiqing.
"Hmph, you refuse to see reason. Fine, I'll kill you, then use the Taiji Diagram to suppress the Human Race Destiny. I'll accept whatever boundless karmic debt comes with it."
The Taiji Diagram erupted with its full power. Taiqing roared, "Anyone who dares obstruct my path to sainthood must die!"
At that moment, the two sides launched their decisive battle, unleashing divine abilities and Dao arts in a dazzling display.
After a long while, a thunderous boom rang out, and the two sides finally pulled apart.
Taiqing's hair was disheveled, and his blood and qi were in turmoil. It was clear Chu Yan had beaten him into a sorry state.
But the Killing Spear had been struck, leaving a gash in it.
Chu Yan himself had a gaping hole in his chest, blood pouring from it.
A deep gash ran down his back, exposing bone.
The Human Race Destiny had been depleted too much, and the flames around him were no longer as fierce as before.
The entire Human Race was coughing up blood.
Even so, Chu Yan straightened his back and stood proudly in the void.
The sight made the countless great powers of the Primordial World draw sharp breaths.
"How strong! Facing Taiqing, who wields the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram, Chu Yan still managed to beat him into such a sorry state."
"It's a shame Chu Yan has no cultivation at all. In the end, he can't defeat Taiqing. Even with the Human Race Destiny bolstering him, the price is too high."
The two faced each other in the void. Chu Yan was in so much pain he could barely contain his fury, but he endured it.
"Damn it, that Taiji Diagram is such a nuisance. Otherwise, even if it cost me my life, I could still take Taiqing down."
Chu Yan's fury soared. No matter what, Taiqing had to die today.
This battle was about more than just a Dao Oath. It also concerned the future of the Human Race.
This battle had to be fought, and Taiqing had to die.
Otherwise, he would remain a threat.
Suddenly, Chu Yan looked toward the Ancestor Witch Divine Hall, meeting the Twelve Ancestor Witches' eyes.
"Taiqing has to die today. Use Du Tian Shen Sha to help me seize the Taiji Diagram."
"Fine!"
The Twelve Ancestor Witches had regained some of their strength. Without a moment's hesitation, they revealed their Ancestral Witch True Bodies and leaped to the space around Taiqing and Chu Yan.
The sight left all the living beings of the Primordial World pale with shock.
"Damn it, the Witch Race has joined the battle!"
Taiqing's expression changed as well.
"Witch Race, this has nothing to do with you! Leave at once!"
"Hmph, the Human Race and the Witch Race are closely bound. Taiqing, you've been attacking the Human Race with reckless abandon. That's no way to treat us!"
"That's right! Whatever it takes, we're going to beat you to a pulp today!"
Taiqing's face turned pale. With the Twelve Ancestor Witches joining the battle, he would surely incur karmic debt if he retaliated.
"Chu Yan, you're using numbers to bully me! What kind of ability is that?"
Taiqing panicked. How the fuck was he supposed to fight this?
His shout made the countless living beings of the Primordial World burst into laughter.
"Taiqing's backing down!"
"Hmph, did he really think holding the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram made him invincible? He acted like no one else mattered just because he was the Dao Ancestor's foremost disciple. Now he's finally getting what's coming to him."
Chu Yan shouted, "That's right, I'm using numbers to bully you! If you don't like it, you'll just have to put up with it!"
The Twelve Ancestor Witches attacked without hesitation.
In an instant, the already dark sky grew darker still.
"Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha!"
He'd opened with his Trump Card—now, would Taiqing admit defeat or not?
"No—"
