Taiqing Dies

Rumble...

The Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array was deployed, and the Twelve Ancestor Witches went straight for their Trump Card.

They all understood that their bodies were depleted now—though they had recovered somewhat, they were still far from their peak state.

If they didn't set up the Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array, they feared they truly couldn't do anything to Taiqing, who wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure.

"Damn it, this damned Witch Race, I hate them, I hate them so much."

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi watched the Witch Race stir up chaos again, itching to join the battlefield at once.

Yet this time, they felt powerless.

Though the Demon Race's fortune had returned, the last battle had cost them dearly. Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were severely wounded and unable to fight.

They could only watch helplessly as the Witch Race ran rampant.

"Kill—."

With a roar, Chu Yan's Killing Intent turned into an endless edge across his entire body.

Thunder and lightning crackled around him as he transformed into a streak of light, charging straight at Taiqing.

"Taiqing, today I will make sure you die—."

Chu Yan burned his bridges, driving straight toward Taiqing's chest.

"Strike him—."

The Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha erupted instantly, carrying boundless Sha Qi as they blasted toward Taiqing.

"How infuriating."

Taiqing hurriedly brought out the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram to block the Witch Race's attack, while the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda flew out, heading straight for Chu Yan.

Rumble...

Boom—.

The two sides collided at once, and two violent explosions rang out.

In an instant, a terrifying shockwave burst forth at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Clang—.

The Killing Spear in Chu Yan's hand struck the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda, sending it flying back on the spot.

But Chu Yan didn't fare well either.

Yet he gritted his teeth against the searing pain and charged again.

"Give me your life—."

With raging flames covering his whole body, he pressed straight toward Taiqing.

"No—."

Taiqing cried out in alarm, trying to defend himself, but the Taiji Diagram was held back by an invisible force, and the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda had already been knocked away.

Rumble...

In an instant, Taiqing's protective golden light was shattered.

Just as Chu Yan was about to pierce through him.

At the critical moment, Taiqing spat out a mouthful of essence blood, spraying it onto the Taiji Diagram.

It immediately erupted with terrifying might.

Rumble...

A fearsome wave of energy scattered in all directions. Chu Yan was sent flying back, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array nearly collapsed.

"An Innate Supreme Treasure is truly formidable. Without the Pangu Banner, who can rival it?"

The countless Great Powers sighed in awe, watching it withstand the attacks of both the Witch Race and Chu Yan at once.

Nuwa, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti had all been sweating with tension just moments before.

"Taiqing, let's see just how much heart blood you have left."

Chu Yan swung his spear, and the Human Race Will condensed once more, repairing the damaged Killing Spear.

"Kill—."

Recklessly, he charged again, making the countless Great Powers watch with pounding hearts.

"This Chu Yan is dead set on killing Taiqing."

"In this battle, Chu Yan has already won. Even if Taiqing becomes a saint, he'll be burdened with the Witch Race's karma and the Human Race's Karma, and he'll be nailed to the pillar of shame."

At that same instant, suddenly, a terrifying aura descended.

"Pangu True Body—!"

The Twelve Ancestor Witches finally unleashed their ultimate move. In that instant, Pangu's phantom reappeared.

"Kill—!"

The First Style of Heaven Opening fell with brutal force.

"Taiqing, today I'll shatter your Taiji Diagram first."

With Pangu True Body descending, even the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram might not be able to withstand it.

"No—!"

Taiqing's expression shifted drastically as he felt an unprecedented pressure bearing down on him.

Boom, rumble...

The earth shook and mountains quaked. The First Style of Heaven Opening was truly fearsome; the entire Buzhou Mountain trembled.

Hum—

The Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram erupted to its utmost limit in that moment, as if sensing the threat.

Boom, rumble...

In the instant of collision, both sides were locked in stalemate. Taiqing spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirit wilting and flagging.

"Taiqing, die—!"

At the critical moment, Chu Yan struck. Seizing the opening, taking advantage of the instant Taiqing was fully focused on resisting Pangu True Body.

The Killing Spear in his hand swelled to ten thousand miles. The Golden Giant leaped high, both hands gripping the spear, and brought it down with savage force.

This scene made the countless Great Powers of the Primordial World change color.

"Taiqing is about to die."

Bang—

The spearhead instantly shattered the protective Qi around Taiqing, its momentum undiminished as it drove straight for his chest.

"Chu Yan, stop!"

"Chu Yan, Taiqing cannot be killed!"

"Chu Yan, you're courting death—!"

Every disciple under the Dao Ancestor was horrified.

Yet Chu Yan showed them no face at all.

"Taiqing, I am determined to kill you. Even if I have to stake the entire Human Race today, I will kill—!"

He descended swiftly, but was suppressed by Heavenly Might.

"Break for me—!"

Boom, rumble...

The terrifying Human Race Will erupted wildly. The Human Race Destiny seemed to ignite all at once in that moment.

Rustle, rustle...

Boundless karmic sin fully released itself at this instant.

"What is Hongjun? What is Heavenly Dao? A mere Heavenly Might—my Human Race breaks it with one spear thrust—!"

Chu Yan staked everything. The spear in his hand exploded into flames in that instant.

Heavenly Might was shattered. Chu Yan finally reached Taiqing's front.

He raised the spear high and drove it down with all his might.

"No—!"

Taiqing screamed in panic and terror, but it was already too late.

Pfft—

The Killing Spear pierced straight through Taiqing's chest. In an instant, his aura withered.

"You... you... you really dare to kill me—!"

"Taiqing, I told you: anyone who schemes against the Human Race will die. Even if you are a Sage, I will not let you off—!"

Chu Yan roared, fury blazing from his face.

"No, no, I don't want to die! Taiji Diagram, return to me—!"

Taiqing summoned the Taiji Diagram with all his might, but the Witch Race held it fast.

"Taiqing, remember this: in your next life, do not make an enemy of the Human Race."

"No—! Save me! Teacher, save me! Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, save me—!"

Taiqing howled in madness, but at this moment, Pangu True Body had already taken form. No one dared to provoke it.

He could only watch helplessly as Taiqing was claimed by that spear.

"Taiqing, no one dares to save you. Give up struggling."

Then he felt the Killing Spear erupt with terrifying might.

Chu Yan let out a great roar, and an endless will to slaughter exploded fully.

Boom...

A blast rang out, and Taiqing was blown to pieces.

In that same instant, the countless Great Powers of the Primordial World all took a step back in unison.

What a fearsome Human Race, what a ruthless Chu Yan.

They saw golden light burst from every inch of Chu Yan's body, illuminating the entire Primordial World.

He raised the Killing Spear high and roared:

"Offend my Human Race, and we will hunt you down no matter how far—!"

His voice resounded across the Primordial lands, piercing beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

It echoed in the souls of all who heard.

"This is the Human Race. This is Chu Yan. My god."

"Ruthless. Too ruthless. He actually killed Taiqing."

"That was the Dao Ancestor's first disciple, and he was killed just like that? Who would dare to scheme against the Human Race from now on?"

Fear took hold. Terror set in.

Yuanshi and Tongtian both felt a pang in their hearts in that same moment.

Taiqing was slain; they were all one body—how could they not grieve?

Suddenly, Tongtian's eyes snapped open, and he shouted urgently:

"Chu Yan, watch out—!"
