The Twelve Ancestor Witches weren't pushovers either. In an instant, they were at each other's throats.
The Witch-Demon War was about to erupt once more.
"Don't come any closer!"
Chu Yan roared, refusing their help.
"This is a struggle over the Human Race Dao Tradition. If you interfere, you'll only destabilize its foundations. Even if we win, the Human Race will face disaster after disaster."
Chu Yan knew that if he didn't stand firm now, there would be nothing more to say about the Human Race's future.
His Human Race Dao Tradition was about self-reliance. If he accepted help from others, could it still be called the Human Race Dao Tradition?
"Chu Yan, surrender at once! The Human Race Dao Tradition can become part of my Human Religion. Otherwise, today you'll die and your Dao will be destroyed!"
"Is that so? I don't believe you."
As soon as he finished speaking, raging flames erupted all over Chu Yan's body.
The Human Race Destiny began to burn once again.
Rumble...
In an instant, a terrifying wave of energy exploded, sending the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner flying.
"What?"
Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun's expressions changed dramatically.
"Not good! Suppress it at once! If the Human Race Dao Tradition breaks through the seal, it'll be too late!"
Yet the next moment, Chu Yan's aura erupted again.
Quasi-Saint middle stage, Quasi-Saint late stage...
"Not good! We can't hold him down!"
Taiqing and the others were aghast. The Human Race Destiny was surging wildly, and they couldn't suppress it.
With such an immense amount of destiny, Chu Yan ignited it all.
In an instant, he broke through the suppression of Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun, his aura rising to the brink of the Quasi-Saint peak.
He was only one step away from forcibly ascending to Sainthood.
"Chu Yan, don't even think about it!"
At the critical moment, Nuwa appeared.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers instantly reinforced the seal.
At the same time, the Red Embroidered Ball became a cannonball, carrying the power of creation and shooting straight toward Chu Yan.
"Chu Yan, look out—!"
Sect Master Tongtian's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly warned him.
Chu Yan swung his spear back, sending it straight toward the Red Embroidered Ball.
Rumble...
Pfft—
Chu Yan spat out blood again. His surging aura was forcibly halted.
"Nuwa, how dare you ambush me! Just you wait. When this battle is over, I'll storm Wa Huang Palace!"
Chu Yan roared, furious beyond measure.
"Roar—!"
Suddenly, Golden Dragons roared around Chu Yan.
"The Human Race's Dao—True Martial reigns supreme! Break!"
Boom—!
The entire sky instantly turned dark.
Chu Yan wielded the Human Race Dao Tradition and punched the seal.
Nuwa, Taiqing, and Yuanshi Tianzun's expressions all changed at once.
"What a powerful Human Race Dao Tradition! We have to suppress it!"
Boom—!
Pfft—!
Pfft—!
The three Sages spat blood at the same time, their vital energy churning.
Chu Yan also suffered a backlash. Forcing the Human Race Dao Tradition to attack had made him cough up blood as well.
Suddenly, he sensed two streaks of light piercing through Chaos.
They tore through the void and appeared behind Chu Yan in the blink of an eye.
"Not good!"
In an instant, Chu Yan sensed that his life was in danger.
Without a second thought, he thrust his spear backward, striking without even looking.
Boom—!
His attack was blocked, but at the same time, a heavy blow slammed into his back.
Pfft—!
Crack—!
The sound of breaking bones rang out.
He spat out a mouthful of blood. The Human Race Destiny was severely damaged; it had already fallen to rock bottom, and now it was bleeding once more.
A pained Dragon's Roar rang out, and the Human Race Dao Tradition shuddered.
The other Sages immediately saw what was happening. But where had that attack come from?
"Who was it?!"
Rumble...
In an instant, Chu Yan's fury exploded to its limit.
He whipped around and saw Jieyin and Zhunti smiling as they said:
"Chu Yan, the Human Race Dao Tradition is fated to have a connection with the West. Why not—"
"Why not my ass! Your mother had a connection with me too, and that's how she gave birth to a wretch like you. You're dead!"
In an instant, the entire Primordial World was stunned. Damn, you could insult a Sage like that?
Jieyin and Zhunti's faces darkened.
Chu Yan fanned the flames of his own rage, barely able to control himself. He unleashed a full-force attack on Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Die!"
He channeled the power of the Human Race Dao Tradition, causing the Human Race Destiny to erupt.
His fist slammed into Jieyin.
In that instant, Jieyin felt the threat of death bearing down on him.
"Not good! Quick—pfft!"
Boom—!
Before Jieyin could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of Sage's blood.
"So strong! He made Saint Jieyin spit blood with just one punch!"
"When did the Human Race Dao Tradition become so powerful? Chu Yan hasn't even become a Sage, yet he's already made one spit blood. If he does become a Sage, won't he be able to slaughter Sages at will?"
Slaughter Sages?
Those words spread throughout the Primordial World in an instant.
Countless powerful figures looked at Chu Yan in shock and awe.
"Well done!"
Sect Master Tongtian roared, feeling thoroughly vindicated.
"Senior Brother, are you all right?"
Zhunti quickly went to Jieyin and checked his injuries.
Then his face turned deathly pale.
"The destiny of the West!"
Jieyin and Zhunti cried out in anguish.
With that punch, Chu Yan had used the Human Race Dao Tradition to ignite the Human Race Destiny, directly damaging the destiny of the West.
He had even nearly made Jieyin's Three Flowers tremble.
"Jieyin, Zhunti, get out of the way!"
Taiqing suddenly shouted. Jieyin and Zhunti immediately came to their senses.
"No!"
They saw the crimson Killing Spear in Chu Yan's hand already before them.
Wave after wave of deathly aura surged toward them.
"Golden Lotus of Merit!"
Clang—!
After the clash, Chu Yan spat out blood, while Jieyin and Zhunti staggered backward.
"So strong! What kind of technique is this?"
Jieyin and Zhunti now looked at Chu Yan with fear.
Damn, whoever got hit would suffer damage to their destiny. And the Human Race Destiny was surging far too fiercely.
No one could compare.
"Come back!"
Taiqing shouted, then said:
"Chu Yan doesn't have the slightest bit of magic power. He's attacking entirely through the Human Race Dao Tradition. It's incredibly powerful, but the Human Race Dao Tradition will weaken as well. We have to join forces to suppress him and wear it down. That way, we can completely destroy the Human Race Dao Tradition. Then we'll divide up the Human Race Destiny. Otherwise, if Chu Yan picks us off one by one, our Dao Traditions will be finished."
The Taiji Diagram blocked Chu Yan's path as Taiqing quickly considered their options.
His Human Religion had no Human Race Destiny. It had virtually no destiny at all, so if Chu Yan hit him, the Human Religion would be destroyed on the spot.
Only Nuwa, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Two Saints of the West could hold the front line.
"Stop holding back. Teacher said that no matter the cost, we must stop Chu Yan from establishing his Dao Tradition. Otherwise, we'll face Teacher's punishment."
As they spoke, the All Saints' Three Flowers gathered above their heads, and their Five Qis converged.
They were getting serious.
"I'll use the Taiji Diagram to suppress the Human Race Destiny. Yuanshi, use the Pangu Banner to attack head-on. Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, coordinate with Yuanshi Tianzun to pin Chu Yan down from all sides. I'll use the Taiji Diagram as the formation's core and set up a killing formation to finish him off."
"Good."
At that moment, the Five Saints joined forces and bore down on Chu Yan.
Rumble...
Golden Heavenly Dao Laws appeared in the sky above the entire Primordial World.
"The Dao begets One; One begets Two; Two beget Three; Three beget all things."
Whoosh—!
The Taiji Diagram became a curtain of light, sealing off every direction.
Yuanshi Tianzun's Pangu Banner also expanded to ten thousand zhang.
"Kill!"
With a roar, the Five Saints attacked together.
"Hmph! Come on!"
Chu Yan roared. Light blazed from his entire body, and his fighting spirit soared to unprecedented heights.
"Chu Yan, die!"
The Pangu Banner descended from the heavens, its immeasurable height driving it down over Chu Yan.
It was like an immovable anvil, pinning Chu Yan firmly in place.
Seeing this, the other Sages immediately unleashed their divine abilities.
"Chu Yan, die!"
"The Human Race Dao Tradition must be destroyed today."
