Buzhou Mountain is the Witch Clan Ancestral Land.
Since Houtu's departure, although the Eleven Ancestral Witches received her promise of Reincarnation protection, the gloom in their hearts grew heavier day by day.
The Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array is incomplete, making it impossible to summon the Pangu Phantom.
They were all too aware of the power of the demon race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array.
In the past, during the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches working together could only contend with them; now, one of them is missing...
"Big brother."
Zhu Rong was surrounded by raging flames, yet the firelight in his eyes carried a barely concealed anxiety:
"The demon race... has been making frequent moves lately."
" The Star Power the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array has begun to converge towards Buzhou Mountain."
Di Jiang sat on the head seat of the Ancestral Witch Hall, his face as calm and composed as water.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the palace ceiling and landing in the direction of the Thirty-three Heavens.
There, the light of billions of stars was faintly flowing, transforming into an invisible network that enveloped the entire Great Wilderness Heavenly Domain.
" Di Jun Taiyi... won't have to wait long."
Di Jiang's voice was hoarse, carrying an unprecedented heaviness:
" Houtu has merged with the Dao, Reincarnation has been established, Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array has been broken..."
"If the demon race doesn't seize this opportunity, they won't be Di Jun."
Ju Mang frowned deeply:
"Then... how should we deal with this?"
Upon hearing Di Jiang's words, the deathly silence in the Ancestral Witch Hall was suddenly broken.
A light shone in the eyes of Ancestral Witches.
"Brother is absolutely right!"
Zhu Rong spoke first, flames erupting several feet around him, his voice booming:
"Although the Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array requires the bloodline of the Twelve Ancestral Witches as a catalyst, if Great Witch were to take the lead and activate the array through resonance, it might not be impossible to summon the phantom of the Father God!"
"However... its power will be greatly reduced," Ju Mang pondered.
Di Jiang slowly rose to his feet, the dark red Space Law faintly visible around him:
"Its power is less than half of its peak, but... it's enough to contend with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over each of the Ancestral Witch in the hall:
"What the demon race seeks is nothing more than to take advantage of Houtu's departure and the incomplete formation to annihilate my Witch Clan in one fell swoop."
"If they knew that my Witch Clan still possessed the ability to summon the phantom of the Father God... Di Jun Taiyi would surely be wary."
Upon hearing this, Ancestral Witches nodded in agreement.
This is the best course of action.
The Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array is the foundation of the Witch Clan. When the phantom of the Pangu Father God descends, no one but a saint can withstand it.
Even with its power greatly reduced, the supreme power originating from the World Creation and the suppression of the Great Wilderness is still enough to prevent the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array from making any rash moves.
"If that's the case..."
Qiang Liang stepped forward, lightning crackling around him:
"Which Great Witch should take over?"
These words caused silence to fall over the hall once again.
The Witch Clan has many Great Witch, including Xing Tian, Xiang Liu, Jiu Feng, Chi You, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi... all of whom are veterans of countless battles and whose blood and Blood Qi can shake the heavens.
The Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array has extremely high requirements for bloodline.
Although ordinary Great Witch are powerful, they are ultimately just Great Witch. Without the bloodline of Ancestral Witch, they cannot resonate perfectly with the formation.
If we force it, we risk a backlash.
"It must be someone whose bloodline is closest to that of the Ancestral Witch," Xi Zi said, his voice as sharp as lightning.
" Jiu Feng."
Zhu Jiuyin suddenly spoke, his voice deep yet clear.
Ancestral Witches looked at him.
Zhu Jiuyin is the Ancestral Witch of time, capable of glimpsing fragments of the long river of time; his words must contain profound meaning.
" Jiu Feng Qiang Liang's Sister of the Ancestral Witch Qiangliang. She was born with Primordial Spirit, and her bloodline is closest to that of the Ancestral Witch."
Zhu Jiuyin slowly said:
"More importantly... she possesses Primordial Spirit, and her sensitivity to the laws far surpasses that of ordinary Great Witch."
"With her taking over the position of Houtu, she might be able to use her Primordial Spirit as a guide to fill the gap in the Earth Law, increasing the power of the formation... to 60%."
60%!
The eyes of the Ancestral Witches shone brightly!
Fifty percent is enough to contend with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array. If it could reach sixty percent... then the Witch Clan would have the confidence to truly fight the Demon Clan and even suppress them!
"Good!"
Di Jiang claps his hands:
"Then it is decided that there will be Jiu Feng!"
" The Great Witch Xing Tian, Xiang Liu, Chi You, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi must all cooperate fully, using their Blood Qi to strengthen the formation."
"This time... we must let the demon race know that my Witch Clan... has never been weak!"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the Ancestral Witch Hall.
Ancestral Witches rose to their feet, their qi Blood Qi erupting with a thunderous roar!
Eleven earth-shattering auras of Ancestral Witch soared into the sky, intertwining above Buzhou Mountain and evolving into endless phenomena of laws!
"Send the Jiu Feng!"
Di Jiang gave the order.
Just a moment later.
"Tap... tap... tap..."
Heavy footsteps came from outside the hall.
A figure slowly stepped into the Ancestral Witch Hall.
It was a woman clad in Crimson Battle Armor, about ten feet tall, with a lithe and agile figure like a dragon.
The armor is engraved with Phoenix patterns, with faint flames and flowing light swirling around it.
Her face was cold and stern, with a fierceness unique to the Witch Clan between her brows, but deep in her eyes was a clarity that ordinary Witch Clan did not possess.
It is indeed the Jiu Feng!
The only Great Witch of the Witch Clan with Primordial Spirit, the Qiang Liang's Sister, wields the Fire Law, and possesses overwhelming combat power.
" Jiu Feng pay their respects to Ancestral Witches."
Jiu Feng knelt on one knee, her voice clear and cold, yet carrying an undeniable respect.
She could sense that the atmosphere inside the Ancestral Witch Hall was unusual today.
The Eleven Ancestral Witches have gathered, their Blood Qi Resonance, and the laws of nature are faintly visible... This is clearly... a sign that a great war is about to begin!
"Stand up."
Di Jiang spoke slowly, his gaze falling on Jiu Feng, looking her up and down.
He could clearly sense that although Jiu Feng's Blood Qi were not as vast as those of the Ancestral Witch, they were condensed and substantial, and there was also a faint fluctuation of Primordial Spirit, like an undercurrent lurking beneath the surface.
Indeed... she is the best candidate to take the position of Houtu.
" Jiu Feng."
Di Jiang's voice turned deep:
" Houtu maiden, Body Merged with Samsara, taking charge of the Earth Dao, and has become Earth Dao Sage."
"You are already aware of this matter."
Jiu Feng nodded:
"Your subordinate is aware."
"The virtue of the Empress Houtu is a blessing to the Witch Clan."
Di Jiang nodded slightly.
"But with her departure, the Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array... is now incomplete."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Feng's pupils contracted slightly.
She instantly understood why the Ancestral Witch had summoned her.
"Your subordinate... is willing to take the place of Empress Houtu!"
Without hesitation, Jiu Feng knelt on one knee again, her voice resolute:
"I would die without regret!"
What fear is there of battle for the Witch Clan Warriors?
To fill the gap in the formation for the Witch Clan, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Ancestral Witches, to summon the phantom of the Father God... this is an honor!
"Good!"
Zhu Rong clapped his hands and laughed:
"No wonder she's Qiang Liang's Sister! She has guts!"
Qiang Liang also looked pleased, and his gaze towards Jiu Feng softened.
"If that's the case..."
Di Jiang slowly raised his hand, and a dark red Space Rune quietly condensed in his palm:
"This is Bloodline Resonance Rune of the Earth Law within the Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array."
"Before Houtu left behind a wisp of her Bloodline Origin, I have refined it into this talisman."
He paused, his gaze becoming serious:
"You must integrate this talisman into yourself, using your Primordial Spirit as a guide to stimulate the resonance of your bloodline, simulate the Earth Law, and fill the gaps in the formation."
"During this period... there may be backlash, or even danger."
"Do you dare?"
Jiu Feng raised their heads, their eyes shining like torches:
"Dare!"
Each word uttered was powerful and resounding.
Di Jiang said no more, and with a flick of his sleeve, he finished speaking.
The dark red rune slowly floated towards Jiu Feng and disappeared into her brow.
"Buzz..."
Jiu Feng ' body trembled violently!
A vast, powerful, and profound aura of Earth Law power surged from the depths of the runes into her entire body!
That is the Bloodline Origin of the Ancestral Witch Houtu!
Although it was only a wisp, the True Meaning of the laws contained within it far surpassed the Fire Law she herself cultivated!
"Well..."
Jiu Feng let out a muffled groan, veins bulging on her forehead.
Bloodline clash, laws clashing!
Fire and Earth are inherently incompatible.
Forcing a fusion at this moment would be tantamount to opening a battlefield within her body!
