Di Jiang shattered the void with a single step, his figure descending fiercely from the sky filled with surging killing intent.
Space cracked inch by inch beneath his feet.
His gaze swept over the Human Race below, then over Xuandu, standing alone in green robes on the altar, finally locking onto Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, whose faces were ashen in mid-air.
"Di Jun! Taiyi!"
Di Jiang's voice boomed, the rolling sound waves causing the vast demon clouds to churn incessantly, laced with undisguised mockery.
"You Demon Race, bullying the weak Human Race here, what great might you display!"
"Have you forgotten, this Great Wilderness land, is ruled by my Witch Clan?"
"Boom!"
Before his words even fell, eleven equally terrifying auras erupted behind him, joining Di Jiang as one!
Zhu Rong's body was engulfed in flames that scorched the heavens, Gong Gong's feet were surrounded by surging black water, Qiang Liang's lightning raged, Tian Wu's wind blades shrieked...
The killing intent of the Twelve Ancestral Witches soared into the sky, forming a cohesive, tangible blood-red curtain, confronting the Demon Court's Solar True Fire and the myriad demon clouds!
The entire East Sea coast was half ablaze with golden flames, and half suffused with a chilling, bloody aura!
Space distorted, rules wailed!
The sudden intervention of the Witch Clan instantly added infinite variables to an already incredibly complex situation!
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's expressions instantly turned to their absolute worst, so grim they could almost drip water.
First, Xuandu revealed his identity as a direct disciple of a Sage, threatening them with the might of the Jie Sect, forcing them into a dilemma.
Now, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had descended forcefully, their words sharp and pointed, striking directly at the Demon Court's vital weakness!
If they showed weakness and retreated before the Witch Clan today, how would the myriad races of the Great Wilderness view the Demon Court?
They would only mock the Demon Race for being inferior to the Witch Clan, fleeing in panic before them!
At that point, what would remain of the Demon Court's majesty?
With what face could he, Di Jun, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, lead all demons and contend for dominance over the Great Wilderness?
But if they didn't retreat... were they truly going to engage in a full-scale war with the Witch Clan right here?
And simultaneously offend Sect Leader Tongtian, who wielded the Qingping Sword and could set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which only the Four Sages could break?
Di Jun felt a surge of frustration rush to the top of his head, his fists clenched tightly within his sleeves.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Solar True Fire erupted uncontrollably around him, scorching the void with crackling sounds, and the Chaos Bell emitted a low hum.
This matter today, I fear it will be difficult to resolve peacefully!
Just at this moment of extreme tension, when the air was stagnant.
Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, a figure in a Goose Yellow Palace Dress cast her gaze upon the Green Clad Figure atop the altar.
It was Houtu.
A clear trace of surprise flashed in her Beautiful Eyes.
Hunyuan aura?
So pure, so transcendent, incompatible with the Heavenly Dao, yet forming its own set of laws...
This person was not walking the path of a Quasi-Saint who severed his corpses, but the long-forgotten and incredibly difficult path of Hunyuan?
And... judging by his bone age, he was clearly extremely young!
When did the Human Race produce such an astonishing prodigy?
What moved her heart even more was that from this person, she faintly sensed a very subtle karmic connection.
It seemed... related to one of the Witch Generals under her command?
Houtu's gaze shifted, her thoughts racing, but she did not speak immediately, merely observing quietly.
Upon the altar.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Xuandu's heart also grew solemn.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had arrived in full force, their killing intent surging together, their might far beyond what Ci Tie alone could match.
He could even feel the surrounding laws of heaven and earth becoming chaotic under the impact of the Witch Clan's surging blood and killing intent.
This was the might of the Ancestral Witches, born from Pangu's Blood Essence, who wielded the laws of heaven and earth!
His gaze swept over the twelve figures whose killing intent pierced the sky, finally making brief contact with Houtu's probing gaze.
Xuandu understood.
Without revealing his intentions, he quietly circulated his Shangqing Gongfa, subtly dissolving the oncoming killing intent of the Ancestral Witches into nothingness.
His posture was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Di Jiang!"
Di Jun finally forced down his turbulent emotions and, with the Majesty of the Demon Emperor, met Di Jiang's mocking gaze.
"The Witch Clan's reach is extending too far!"
"This Human Race has offended the might of my Demon Court and slaughtered my Demon Race's children. I am acting here, why should I explain myself to your Witch Clan?"
He completely avoided mentioning the secret of the Human Race's blood, instead framing Xuandu's killing of Ghost Chariot as the Human Race offending heavenly might.
"Offended heavenly might? Slaughtered the Demon Race?"
Di Jiang acted as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, letting out a booming laugh that shook the heavens and echoed through the wilderness.
"Hahaha! What a preposterous joke!"
He abruptly stopped laughing and said coldly:
"You Demon Race, feeding on the weak Human Race, is that heavenly might?"
"Though my Witch Clan and you are like fire and water, we would never do such a despicable thing!"
"This Great Wilderness was formed from Father God Pangu. When did it become a place for your Demon Court to flaunt its power!"
Every word struck at the heart, directly pointing out the Demon Race's bullying of the weak.
Behind him, the eleven Ancestral Witches also exuded killing intent, glaring at Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, ready to fight at any moment if words failed.
"You...!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was furious. The Chaos Bell let out a resounding clang, and its majestic waves swept out, forcefully interrupting Di Jiang's words.
"Di Jiang! Stop your glib tongue here!"
"This Human Race, Xuandu, has killed one of my Demon Race's Ten Great Demon Saints, Ghost Chariot. This is an undeniable fact!"
"Today, either your Witch Clan retreats immediately, and my Demon Court will handle internal affairs!"
"Or... we'll have a fight and see if your Ancestral Witch true bodies are stronger, or if my Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array is mightier!"
The power of the Chaos Bell was immense. As its waves passed, space solidified, and even the combined killing intent of the Ancestral Witches was forced back by three points.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi, with his fierce and overbearing nature, was thoroughly enraged by Di Jiang's repeated taunts and intimidated by Xuandu's identity. The anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted.
He no longer held back and directly issued a challenge!
The atmosphere instantly tensed to the extreme!
War was imminent!
Di Jun's eyes flickered. He did not stop Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
At this point, retreating was no longer an option.
If he could provoke a conflict between the Witch Clan and Xuandu, or even the Jie Sect behind him, perhaps he could disrupt the situation and gain a sliver of opportunity for the Demon Court!
He secretly transmitted his divine sense, ordering the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array to operate silently. Countless powers of the Stars descended from the Void, empowering the billions-strong Demon Race army.
The demon clouds surged again, starlight faintly appearing, hidden killing intent.
At this critical juncture.
"Heh."
A very light scoff suddenly sounded.
The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every powerful being.
On the altar, Xuandu slowly raised his head.
His gaze calmly swept over the tense Witch-Demon Two Clans.
Finally landing on Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Can't find it by searching the book title, maybe try searching the author, perhaps it was just renamed!
