Taishang Dies

Rumble...

The Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array took shape, and the Twelve Ancestor Witches went straight for their trump card.

They all understood that their bodies were depleted. Although they had recovered somewhat, they were still far from their peak.

Without the Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array, they might not have been able to deal with Taiqing, who wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure.

"Damn it! Damn these Witch Race bastards! I hate them! I hate them!"

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi watched the Witch Race stir up trouble once again, wishing they could join the battle at once.

But this time, they felt powerless to do anything.

The Demon Race Fortune had returned, but they had suffered devastating losses in the previous battle. Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were both gravely injured and could no longer fight.

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

"Kill—!"

With a roar, Chu Yan's killing intent transformed into boundless sharpness.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled around him as he became a streak of light and charged straight at Taiqing.

"Taiqing, I'll kill you today if it's the last thing I do—!"

Chu Yan burned his boats and lunged straight for Taiqing's chest.

"Get him—!"

The Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha erupted in an instant, carrying boundless baleful energy as it struck at Taiqing.

"Damn it!"

Taiqing hurriedly brought out the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, to block the Witch Race's attack. At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda flew toward Chu Yan.

Rumble...

Boom—!

The two sides collided at the same time, unleashing two deafening crashes.

A terrifying shockwave erupted 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 backward.

But Chu Yan was in no better shape.

He endured the excruciating pain and charged again.

"Your life is mine—!"

Blazing flames surged around him as he lunged straight at Taiqing.

"No—!"

Taiqing cried out. He tried to defend himself, but an invisible force held the Taiji Diagram back, while the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Pagoda had already been knocked away.

Rumble...

In an instant, the golden light protecting Taiqing shattered.

Chu Yan was about to pierce through him.

At the critical moment, Taiqing spat out a mouthful of vital blood and sprayed it onto the Taiji Diagram.

The diagram immediately unleashed terrifying power.

Rumble...

A terrifying wave of energy burst outward. The recoil sent Chu Yan flying back, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array nearly collapsed as well.

"Innate Supreme Treasures truly are powerful. With the Pangu Banner absent, who could stand against one?"

The mighty beings watching sighed. Taiqing had actually managed to withstand the attacks of both the Witch Race and Chu Yan.

Nuwa, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti had all been holding their breath.

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

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

"Kill—!"

He charged again without regard for his own safety, making the mighty beings watching tremble with fear.

"Chu Yan is absolutely determined to kill Taiqing."

"Chu Yan has already won this battle. Even if Taiqing becomes a Sage, he'll still bear the karmic burden of the Witch Race and the Karma of the Human Race. He'll be forever branded with disgrace."

At that very moment, a terrifying aura suddenly descended.

"Pangu True Body—!"

The Twelve Ancestor Witches finally unleashed their ultimate move. In an instant, the Pangu Phantom appeared once more.

"Kill—!"

The First Style of Heaven Opening came crashing down.

"Taiqing, I'll shatter your Taiji Diagram first!"

With the Pangu True Body upon them, even the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram might not be able to hold out.

"No—!"

Taiqing's expression changed drastically. He felt a crushing pressure unlike anything he had ever experienced.

Rumble...

The earth shook and the mountains trembled. The First Style of Heaven Opening was truly formidable; all of Buzhou Mountain was shaking.

Whirr—!

The Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram also unleashed its full power in that instant, as though it had sensed the threat.

Rumble...

The two sides locked in a stalemate at the moment of impact. Taiqing spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirit flagging.

"Taiqing, die—!"

At the critical moment, Chu Yan struck. He took advantage of the opening, of the instant Taiqing focused all his strength on resisting the Pangu True Body.

The Killing Spear in his hand expanded to a length of ten thousand li. The Golden Giant leaped high, gripping the spear with both hands and bringing it down with all his might.

The sight made the mighty beings throughout the Primordial World turn pale.

"Taiqing is going to die!"

Boom—!

The spearhead instantly pierced through the protective aura around Taiqing. Its momentum undiminished, it shot straight toward his chest.

"Chu Yan, stop!"

"Chu Yan, you can't kill Taiqing!"

"Chu Yan, you're asking for death—!"

The Dao Ancestor's disciples were all horrified.

But Chu Yan showed them no consideration.

"I'm killing Taiqing, no matter what! Even if it costs the entire Human Race, I'll kill him today—!"

The spear plunged down, but Heavenly Might bore down on it.

"Break—!"

Rumble...

The terrifying Human Race Will erupted madly. In that instant, the Human Race Destiny seemed to burn away completely.

Crash...

Boundless karmic retribution was unleashed at that moment.

"So what if it's Hongjun? So what if it's the Heavenly Dao? Mere Heavenly Might—I'll break it with a single spear from the Human Race—!"

Chu Yan threw everything aside. The spear in his hand suddenly burst into flames.

The Heavenly Might broke, and Chu Yan finally reached Taiqing.

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

"No—!"

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

Squelch—!

The Killing Spear pierced straight through Taiqing's chest, and his aura immediately weakened.

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

"Taiqing, I told you: whoever dares to target the Human Race will die. Even if you're a Sage, I won't spare you—!"

Chu Yan roared furiously, his face blazing with rage.

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

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

"Taiqing, remember this in your next life: don't make an enemy of the Human Race."

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

Taiqing screamed in desperation, but now that the Pangu True Body had formed, no one dared to provoke it.

They could only watch as that spear took Taiqing's life.

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

Then Chu Yan felt the Killing Spear unleash terrifying power.

He roared, and boundless killing intent erupted in full.

Rumble...

An explosion rang out, blasting Taiqing to pieces.

At the same moment, all the mighty beings throughout the Primordial World took a step back.

What a terrifying Human Race. What a ruthless Chu Yan.

Golden light erupted from Chu Yan's entire body, illuminating the whole Primordial World.

He raised the Killing Spear high and shouted:

"Those who offend the Human Race will be killed, no matter how far away they are—!"

His voice rang across the Primordial World and pierced beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

It resounded in the souls of everyone.

"So this is the Human Race. So this is Chu Yan. My goodness!"

"Ruthless! So ruthless—he actually killed Taiqing!"

"That was the Dao Ancestor's eldest disciple, and he was killed just like that? Who would dare set their sights on the Human Race now?"

They were afraid. Terrified.

At that moment, Yuanshi and Tongtian also felt a sharp pang in their hearts.

Taiqing had been killed. The three of them were one, so how could they not grieve?

Suddenly, Tongtian's eyes flew open. He shouted urgently:

"Chu Yan, watch out—!"
