"Boom!"
The sky turned dark, the earth shook, and sand and stone flew wildly.
Countless streams of intense, blazing Xuanhuang Qi surged outward.
They completely enveloped the entire area within hundreds of billions of miles around the Pangu Temple.
Multicolored, dazzling Dao Patterns rippled in layers, billowing across the entire Void to blot out the sky and sun.
A pitch-black, mysterious pagoda suddenly appeared in the sky, towering as immense as Buzhou Mountain.
"Boom!"
Like a falling star, the pagoda descended with immense momentum and landed steadily on the ground billions of miles away from the Pangu Temple.
As the crowd stared in shock and disbelief, Xiao Ran smiled faintly and said, "This is the Chaos Trial Tower, a training ground specially designed for our Clansmen to hone themselves and increase their strength!"
"This tower has twelve floors, and the difficulty of clearing each floor gradually increases!"
"If anyone can clear all twelve floors..."
"In the future, they will absolutely be able to act with impunity across the Primordial World and overpower all living beings!"
"Hiss!"
Tens of millions of Witch elites craned their necks and drew in a collective breath of cold air.
It took them a long while to recover from their stunned state.
Instantly, countless Witch elites burst into laughter and rushed toward the Chaos Trial Tower without delay.
Di Jiang chuckled and said, "I didn't expect your fortune to be so deep, kid. You actually have so many rare treasures in your hands!"
"You said earlier that you wanted to offer treasures to our Witch Clan. Are you done now?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and said with a faint, knowing smile, "Lord Di Jiang, you guessed wrong!"
"I still have one more item that I haven't revealed yet!"
With that, he took out a shimmering, radiant, miniature disc-shaped object.
He smiled and said, "This is the Divine Dojo Plate!"
"As long as the Ancestor Witches find a suitable location and recite the incantation to place it there, that's all that's needed!"
"This Divine Dojo Plate can turn an area of tens of millions of miles into a top-tier blessed land and cave heaven!"
"Moreover, it can automatically absorb the boundless Primordial Spiritual Energy of the Primordial World, allowing our Clansmen to temper their physical bodies!"
At these words, the Twelve Ancestor Witches all stared with blazing eyes, burning with fervor!
The surprises Xiao Ran had brought them today were far too many!
So many that they had grown numb!
They didn't even know how to thank Xiao Ran anymore!
"Good! I never expected you, Xiao Ran, to be so selfless. This Ancestor Witch is truly gratified!"
"Haha! Well done, Xiao Ran! You haven't let us Ancestor Witches down for all the effort we've put into nurturing you!"
The Twelve Ancestor Witches spoke with exuberant expressions.
A moment later, the impatient Ancestor Witches took the Divine Dojo Plate and began searching for a suitable place to set it down.
Only Ancestor Witch Houtu remained behind.
In the great hall.
Houtu said with a grave expression, "Xiao Ran, I failed to protect you this time!"
"It led to the tragic deaths of all your Tribe's Clansmen!"
"If you harbor any resentment, feel free to speak it out directly!"
Xiao Ran smiled calmly and said, "Lady Houtu, you flatter me!"
"It was my own lack of strength that left me unable to protect my Clansmen!"
"The calamity that befell my Tribe was entirely due to my own underestimation of the enemy!"
"If Lady Houtu hadn't stepped in to save me on the battlefield, I would probably still be lying in the Pangu Blood Pool right now, uncertain whether I was alive or dead!"
Houtu let out a bitter smile and said, "Will you truly never lead the Witch Army again in the future?"
Xiao Ran nodded, his expression resolute. "Yes! Lady Houtu, please don't try to persuade me!"
"My mind is made up. From now on, I will no longer lead the Tribe!"
"In the future, I will focus on strategizing from within the Witch Clan's main stronghold!"
"I will train the newborn Witches and teach them formations and cultivation techniques!"
Houtu waved her hand helplessly and said, "Forget it! Do as you wish!"
"No matter what you do, I will always support you!"
"Just don't forget who it was that brought your tribe to the brink of annihilation!"
Xiao Ran's gaze turned icy. "How could I ever forget that?"
"Even if the sun and moon fade, even if the Primordial World shatters, I will never forget this!"
"As long as I, Xiao Ran, draw breath, I will never let the Demon Race off!"
Houtu nodded, a relieved smile spreading across her face.
After obtaining the answer she wanted from Xiao Ran, she no longer had any worries about him.
She knew that Xiao Ran hadn't sunk into despair because of that great battle, nor had he shirked the duty of a Great Witch of the Witch Race.
Now that Xiao Ran had become the Great Priest of the Witch Race, he was simply serving the Witch Race in a different way!
As long as Xiao Ran hadn't forgotten the hatred and remained steadfast in standing with the Witch Race through thick and thin, then whatever Xiao Ran chose to do, let him do it!
Soon, Houtu departed gracefully.
Xiao Ran let out a sigh and began to cultivate in seclusion.
The last battle with the Demon Race had exposed many of his own shortcomings.
The biggest problem was that his strength was far too weak!
If he had been a little stronger, then the tragedy of tens of millions of clansmen falling in battle might never have happened.
Time flowed unmarked in the Primordial World; cultivation knew no seasons.
No one knew how long Xiao Ran had been cultivating.
On this day, Xiao Ran felt a stirring in his heart and suddenly opened his eyes.
"One Yuan Instant Kill System activated!"
"Pangu Primordial Spirit*1, price 1 yuan!"
A few bold, forceful lines of text appeared before his eyes.
Xiao Ran shot to his feet, so excited he nearly cried out!
Of all the treasures he had snatched from the system so far, only two had truly satisfied him!
One was the incomplete version of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.
The other was this Pangu Primordial Spirit!
But given his current strength, he could only use the incomplete Heaven-Opening Divine Axe once.
And even then, he would fall into a long coma from exhaustion!
For Xiao Ran as he was now, this Pangu Primordial Spirit was absolutely the most heaven-defying and precious treasure the system had ever offered, from the very beginning to this moment!
Any treasure that bore the name Pangu
was inevitably a peerless artifact coveted by everyone in the Primordial World, sought after by countless great powers but never obtained!
This Pangu Primordial Spirit, for Xiao Ran, was a treasure hard to find even in a billion years!
Though the Witch Race relied on their formidable physical bodies to thrive and carve out a place in the Primordial World, and could even wage prolonged wars against the Demon Race,
