The Sun Star's Demise

Show me what you've learned in order, and let me see your current cultivation.

She faced the ten Golden Crows alone, appearing calm and unhurried.

Not bad; among Taiyi Golden Immortals, this is already considered top-tier.

But there's still a gap compared to those Sages. You must cultivate diligently and strive to break through to Grand Unity, or even Quasi-Saint realm soon!

As the Demon Race's Crown Princes, how can you fall behind others?

At the very least, you should reach the level of those Sages!

She sternly pointed out the shortcomings of each Golden Crow.

The ten Golden Crows respectfully listened to her teachings.

After the reprimand was over, one Golden Crow timidly asked, "Mother, when can we leave Tanggu Valley to play in the mortal world?"

"Ever since we were born, you haven't allowed us to leave the Sun Star, and we haven't even set foot in the Heavenly Court!"

"It's Mother who makes us cultivate all day. We want to go out and relax~~"

Changxi's expression immediately turned grim upon hearing this.

She said sternly, "You are the Crown Princes of the Demon Race. Countless eyes are watching you in secret. You absolutely cannot leave Tanggu Valley without permission."

"Once you break through to the Grand Unity realm and pass my test, we can discuss going to the Heavenly Court."

"Remember, focus on your cultivation!"

The ten little Golden Crows immediately drooped their heads in dejection.

Changxi comforted them gently for a few more words before leaving.

Ever since the Golden Crows descended, karma and karmic debt have entangled them. She guarded them day and night, fearing they would encounter misfortune if they left the Sun Star.

She cast a reluctant glance back at the Sun Star and flew towards the Heavenly Court with a sigh.

As the Empress, she also had to manage the affairs of the Heavenly Court and could not stay here forever.

Now, she could only hope that Di Jun's prophecy would come true and the Witch-Demon War would be won.

If only she could transfer all the karma and karmic debt from them to herself before the war.

Unfortunately, this supernatural ability can only be used once per Kalpa. How could it be easy...

Changxi mused to herself.

Lost in thought, she didn't notice two figures quietly appear on the Sun Star.

Jieyin and Zhunti descended upon the Sun Star silently. They easily dealt with two Demon Race guards, read their memories, and then exchanged smiles. The situation of these young Golden Crows... was simply a heaven-sent opportunity!

The moment the two entered Tanggu Valley, they were summoned by the ten Golden Crow Princes. "Guard Seventeen, Guard Eighteen, come quickly!" Jieyin, disguised as a guard, replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Princes, the Empress has already departed." Upon hearing this, the leading Prince feigned maturity and coughed, "Since you've been to the mortal world, tell us quickly about the interesting things down there." The other nine Golden Crows immediately chirped in agreement.

Jieyin and Zhunti cooperated tacitly, describing the mortal world in exaggerated terms, making the little Golden Crows' hearts itch with longing. From then on, the two came every day to recount their experiences in the mortal world. Three years later, one day, they casually mentioned a secret realm on the Sun Star that concealed a teleportation array leading to the lower realm.

After the two left, the ten Golden Crows indeed followed the clues and found the formation. With a combined effort, a flash of golden light appeared, and they finally set foot on the Primordial World. Facing the unfamiliar world, the overly excited Golden Crows revealed their true forms and soared freely across the sky. Jieyin and Zhunti, watching from the shadows, curved their lips into sinister smiles.

The blazing sun hung high in the nine heavens, and ten scorching suns turned the Primordial World into a furnace. The Witch Clan's people wailed and fell under the true sun fire, rivers evaporated, and spiritual plants withered. As the masters of the earth, the Witch Clan could not remember how long it had been since they suffered such a calamity.

The ten sons of the Golden Crow, upon arriving in the mortal world, were having a blast. Casual sparks they scattered ignited a raging sea of fire. Various races, intimidated by the might of the Demon Race, dared not speak out. Only the Witch Clan swiftly retaliated. The Great Witch Da Yi crossed mountains and rivers, speeding towards the area where the Golden Crows were wreaking havoc...

Inside the Witch Clan's Holy Palace, the Twelve Ancestor Witches and many Great Witches were discussing important matters. Powerful energy fluctuations permeated the hall, and each Great Witch exuded an astonishing aura.

Dijiang said with sharp eyes, "Those two Sages from the West secretly manipulated the Demon Race's Golden Crows to descend upon the mortal world. First, they tricked Houtu into repairing the Western spiritual veins, and now they are attacking the Demon Race. They are truly cunning."

He then issued an order: "Da Yi has been ordered to hunt down those Golden Crows. When he takes action—Kuafu, you will immediately go to the Sun Star and destroy the magic treasures the Demon Race is currently forging."

The burly Kuafu was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Excellent! I've long wanted to raid those feathered beasts' nest!"

Dijiang held back the excited Kuafu, "Calm yourself. After Da Yi succeeds, the Demon Race will surely make a move. At that time, we will all go out to contain them, and I will secretly open a space channel to help you with your surprise attack." As an Ancestor Witch who controlled space, traversing the Thirty-Third Heaven was not difficult for him.

Every Witch Clan warrior present was eager to fight, wishing they could immediately attack the Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court had already sensed the disturbance.

Di Jun slammed the table in rage, "Who dares to secretly let the Crown Princes descend to the mortal world?" He knew well that his beloved wife Changxi had confined the ten Princes in Tanggu Valley, so this turn of events must be suspicious.

"Quick, follow me to the mortal world!" Di Jun urgently summoned Taiyi, Changxi, Xihe, and the various Demon Sages, activating the teleportation array to rescue the Crown Princes.

However, it was too late.

Da Yi had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow. Nine divine arrows pierced through the air, instantly striking down nine Golden Crows. The sole surviving young son fled in panic, and just as the tenth arrow was about to be loosed—

Clang!

A world-shattering bell sound echoed through the universe, and space-time froze. Emperor-robed Eastern Emperor Taiyi, surrounded by golden sunlight, appeared and protected the last little Golden Crow just in time.

His fury ignited, he exerted his strength, snapped Da Yi's arrow, and spewed forth scorching true sun fire. The Eastern Emperor Bell erupted with vast might, vowing to destroy Da Yi on the spot!

At the critical moment.

A majestic force suddenly tore through the frozen space-time. The laws of time and space erupted simultaneously, forcefully blocking Taiyi's Eastern Emperor Bell's power and rescuing Da Yi from the temporal and spatial confinement!

Taiyi's face turned cold.

He held the Eastern Emperor Bell, his mastery of space-time unparalleled in the world. He thought he could capture Da Yi first, but he didn't expect the Witch Clan to have already laid an ambush and rescued Da Yi at the crucial moment!

"Taiyi, long time no see!"

Dijiang let out a loud laugh.

The other Ancestor Witches, unable to hold back any longer, attacked Taiyi from all sides. Taiyi activated the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell, barely managing to escape.

In the blink of an eye.

Di Jun led the strong experts of the Demon Race to arrive, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Taiyi!

The situation changed drastically. Even the most reckless of the Witch Clan stopped their attacks, forming a standoff with the Demon Race experts.

Terrifying pressure swept in all directions, annihilating everything nearby.

The strong experts of the two races drew their weapons, a great battle on the verge of erupting.

Changxi witnessed her nine sons pierced by arrows, filled with grief and rage, she madly attacked!

However, this strike was easily neutralized by the Witch Clan's strong experts.

Taiyi handed the remaining Golden Crow Prince to Changxi. The ten princes huddled in her embrace, trembling, not daring to look up.

Just as the Witch and Demon races were at a stalemate—

On Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Pure Ones were watching coldly!

Dao De Tianzun's expression was grim.

He had completely understood—this Witch-Demon War must have been secretly instigated by the Western Teachings, with the intention of ending the calamity!

Recently, the Western Teachings had been making frequent moves. If they could end the calamity, they would seize immense Merit.

How could he tolerate this?

In this Witch-Demon Calamity, he had gained very little, while the Western Teachings had seized every opportunity!

No...

When did the situation begin to spiral out of control?

How did the Western Teachings ** the Witch and Demon races?

Dao De Tianzun's thoughts churned.

Suddenly, a name surfaced in his mind—

Lu Tian!

Ever since Lu Tian set foot in the Demon Race Heavenly Court, the Western Teachings had been keeping a close watch on the Witch and Demon races, colluding in secret.

It was from this point that the Western Teachings meticulously planned, seizing many opportunities, and even using the situation to disrupt the calamity, accelerating its end!

Lu Tian...

Dao De Tianzun murmured in his heart, hatred growing.

Recently, his attention had been intensely focused on Lu Tian.

This person was simply too dazzling.

He was involved in the Human Race's westward migration!

He participated in the restoration of the Western land's pulse!

Even the premature end of the Witch-Demon Calamity seemed to have him secretly pushing it forward!

How could a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal stir up the winds and clouds of the Primordial World, changing the face of heaven and earth?

This child is definitely not as simple as he appears; there must be unknown secrets hidden behind him.

Dao De Tianzun couldn't help but ponder: Who exactly is this Lu Tian?

The Witch and Demon races, The two most powerful races in the Primordial World, now had their elites fully deployed, facing each other across the void.

A slight misstep would lead to the collapse of heaven and earth, and the dimming of the universe!

Not only the Three Pure Ones, All the powerful beings in the heavens were watching this intently.

The previous Witch-Demon War was still talked about by all beings.

At that time, the Witch Clan was like a broken bamboo, crushing the Demon Race into utter defeat!

How would this battle unfold?

Di Jun's eyes burned with the Sun True Fire. He looked down at the earth with hatred, wishing he could tear the Witch Clan apart.

Fortunately, he still had his reason, knowing this was impossible.

"Changxi, endure for now!"

Di Jun transmitted his voice to her side.

Changxi was already close to madness, her eyes glaring red at her husband.

From the day the Witch Slaying Sword began to be forged, she had worried day and night about her children being harmed, dying before they could grow!

If I die fighting for the Demon Race, I have no complaints!

But if the young sapling is broken before it can grow strong, how can I be content?

Di Jun!

Where is the Witch Slaying Sword you have been refining for so long?!

Draw your sword! Annihilate this group of barbaric witches!

She tightly hugged the young child in her arms, suppressing her last shred of reason, and transmitted her furious roar.

Di Jun's expression was grim, but he offered no argument.

He had delayed drawing the Witch Slaying Sword because the time was not yet right.

This sword had been refined for nearly a full Kalpa, its sharpness reaching its extreme.

However—

The Witch Clan still had the **Jian and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array!

If the Ancestor Witches joined forces to summon Pangu's phantom, even the current Witch Slaying Sword would struggle to harm them!

Fight, or not fight?

Di Jun's emotions churned, but his expression remained unchanged as he coldly surveyed the Witch Clan's formation.

Suddenly, He sensed something amiss.

The Witch Clan was missing a fierce general.

The Great Witch Kuafu!

This was a top-tier combatant of the Witch Clan, how could he be absent from this battle?

Given the temperaments of those barbarians, why would they miss a fight?

The opponent was also a Great Witch skilled in space and speed; this delay was enough for them to arrive! Unless the Witch Clan had another scheme!

Di Jun's heart tightened, and he immediately transmitted a message to Taiyi: Return to the Heavenly Court immediately and first check the Sun Star for any situation! Before Taiyi could react, he heard Di Jun's stern command: Set off at once! Go to the Sun Star first to confirm its safety, then proceed to the Heavenly Court!

Taiyi did not dare to hesitate. He immediately summoned the Chaos Bell to control space-time and sped towards the Sun Star.

"Block him!" Dijiang roared, unleashing his spatial laws to intercept. Zhu Jiuyin cooperated tacitly, simultaneously activating time cessation. Under their combined assault, Taiyi's movements became significantly slower.

This scene filled the observing Great Powers with awe. To be able to control space-time while under the joint assault of Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, besides a Sage, only Taiyi, who wielded the Eastern Emperor Bell, could likely do it.

The battle instantly spiraled out of control, and the Witch and Demon races erupted into fierce conflict.

In the Western Pure Land, Lu Tian gazed at the battlefield with his Master's blessing. "With the Witch Clan's actions, this battle is now unavoidable," Jieyin said indifferently. This great war, which he had orchestrated, was destined for countless casualties, but he cared not.

Lu Tian calmly observed everything. The rise and fall of the Witch and Demon races were irrelevant to him; he only needed to seize benefits at the opportune moment. This was the advantage of apprenticing under a Sage—even with insufficient strength, one could leverage power. If not for the Sage's protection, how could he have obtained such opportunities during this calamity?
