All Parties Maneuvered, the Witch Clan Benefited

Yuanshi left.

Dijiang immediately dismissed the items with a casual wave.

Though the main body was absent, the things refined by the twelve External Incarnations were hundreds of times better than what Yuanshi had brought.

After all, they were items carried within Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Even if it was a fart, it would still be a fart of Hundun.

Two hundred years.

Three hundred years.

Twelve hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Yet the Primordial Wilderness did not calm down just because the Demon Clan had retreated to the Heavenly Court.

Instead, with the Demon Clan's withdrawal, the Primordial Wilderness was plunged into endless slaughter.

This was because Zhen Yuanzi had somehow learned that his old friend and sworn brother, Red Cloud, had been killed by Minghe and Kunpeng.

When an ordinary man was enraged, blood would be spilled within five steps.

Much less the ancestor of Earth Immortals.

And now, he had established the Earth Sect in the Primordial World.

At his command, the Eastern Earth Sect directly went to war against the Northern Darkness in the north and the Underworld in the south.

The battle was exceptionally brutal.

Smoke and flames blanketed the entire Primordial Wilderness, and every living being was inevitably dragged into it.

When the nest toppled, how could any egg remain unbroken?

Meanwhile, the Demon Clan of the Heavenly Court watched from the sidelines.

The west.

"Damn Nuwa!!"

Zhunti gritted his teeth.

The west had set its sights on Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe.

After all, beneath the six Sages of Purple Cloud Palace, they stood alone at the very top.

More importantly, neither was a demon nor a witch.

They were not figures destined to be part of the Demon-Witch Calamity.

If they could be brought into the west, its strength would soar tremendously.

Although the Western Two Saints intended to recruit the two great powers, someone had interfered.

The Demon Clan had retreated to the Heavenly Court.

Before the Western Two Saints could make their move,

the Three Teachings had inexplicably begun fighting one another.

After making their deductions, Zhunti and Jieyin were instantly enraged.

Because—

Nuwa had used the Demon Court to reveal the truth of Red Cloud's death to Zhen Yuanzi.

That was what had created the present chaos throughout the Primordial World.

In the Western Two Saints' original plans,

the Heavenly Court would suffer defeat, but its forces would still remain the strongest.

If the four powers of the Primordial World wished to contend against the Heavenly Court, they would have to join hands.

After all, the Demon Court had a Sage backing it.

Among the four great powers of the Primordial World, only their Ksitigarbha Buddha had Sages behind it.

The Demon Court had one.

They had two.

No matter how one looked at it, the west held the advantage.

Just as they were planning how to draw Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe into the west,

Zhen Yuanzi had taken the lead and gone to war with the Northern Darkness and the Underworld.

With that, how could they still have a chance?

They even directly abandoned most of their territory in the Primordial World.

They promptly contracted Ksitigarbha Buddha's forces and had them retreat to the west.

That was because Zhen Yuanzi had gone completely mad with slaughter.

After all, aside from Kunpeng and Minghe, the Western Two Saints could not escape responsibility for Red Cloud's death.

To avoid being implicated by Zhen Yuanzi's wrath, the Western Two Saints could only painfully relinquish their authority over the Primordial Wilderness.

They even found themselves an excuse for retreating: obeying the decree of Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

War was on the verge of erupting.

The three factions fought over the Primordial Wilderness while slaughtering without restraint.

From ordinary immortals to the point where the three major powers personally entered the fray.

Unfortunately, though Zhen Yuanzi wished to avenge Red Cloud, he was ultimately outmatched.

After all, all three were figures from the same era, equally renowned and evenly matched in strength.

But the Northern Darkness and the Underworld had two forces, while Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Sect had only one.

A lone tree could not hold up the forest.

If not for the Book of Earth in his possession, he would already have joined Red Cloud in death.

Since even the leader of the sect was losing, the remaining forces were even less able to withstand the pressure.

The Earth Sect, which had competed for dominance over the Eastern Primordial World, suffered defeat after defeat. Just when everyone thought it was about to become history,

the Human Race charged into battle.

The Human Race, which had once seemed weak and frail, possessed astonishing power.

They actually allowed the Earth Sect, which had been on the brink of defeat, to temporarily withstand the attacks of the Northern Darkness and the Underworld.

"Big Brother, did you have the Human Race join this war?"

Yuanshi arrived at the Taiqing Realm and stared blankly at Taiqing Saint.

"The Northern Darkness and the Underworld have swept through the Primordial World. The Human Race remaining in the east no longer has anywhere to live."

Taiqing was helpless as well.

Though he did not want to interfere or drag the Human Sect into it,

when the nest toppled, how could any egg remain unbroken?

Besides,

Xuandu was among the first batch of innate humans.

Seeing the Human Race in danger, he could not possibly stand by.

Thus, under his guidance, the Human Race joined forces with the Earth Sect and formed an offensive and defensive alliance.

Minghe and Kunpeng feared Taiqing Saint, so they did not dare attack the Human Race.

That way,

the Earth Sect was not driven into a desperate corner.

"Looks like we can only have the Witch Clan emerge."

The Three Pure Ones were bound together in spirit.

Now that the Human Sect had acted, although Yuanshi had no desire whatsoever to visit the Witch Clan, it was no longer up to him.

Wa Sovereign Palace.

"Little Sister, Di Jun and Tai Yi are causing trouble again!!"

Fuxi arrived at Wa Sovereign Palace and looked solemnly at Nuwa.

"Looks like I need to take back the Demon-Summoning Banner as soon as possible!!"

Nuwa shook her head.

She was the Demon Clan's Sage, but Tai Yi and Di Jun only respected her on the surface. In private, they had long harbored rebellious ambitions.

"Those two brothers have ambitions as high as the heavens, and now they wield power over the world."

"Why not give the Demon-Summoning Banner to Kunpeng?"

Fuxi, who held a position in the Heavenly Court, felt rather stifled as well.

Especially now that the two brothers had soared to new heights and reached the late Quasi-Sage stage.

They had even given birth to ten little Golden Crows.

If the little Golden Crows were allowed to grow up, they could completely kick him aside.

"Without the Demon-Summoning Banner, the Heavenly Court would exist in name only."

Countless stars flickered in Nuwa's eyes as she performed her deductions.

Whether Tai Yi, Di Jun, or Kunpeng, none of them concerned her.

Her opponents were the Sages.

Just like this time: with only a minor scheme, she had left the western Sages scrambling in distress.

As for her elder brother, Fuxi—

Under the Demon-Witch Calamity, Fuxi had to go through it as well.

Even as a Sage, she had no way to spare him from it.

The only thing she could do was

secure him a good future.

The Primordial World had become a complete mess.

But Dijiang's side was reaping tremendous gains.

Twelve hundred years.

A full twelve Laws, each corresponding to the attribute Law of one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

Therefore,

all eleven Ancestral Shamans received Dijiang's empowerment and advanced by leaps and bounds.

Some had even nearly entered the stage of attempting to break through into the Saint Realm.

As for Dijiang himself, he was preparing to try fusing those twelve Laws.

He wanted to see whether he could use them to raise his ninety percent Law of Strength into one complete Law of Strength.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Law of Strength.

Do not underestimate the gap between ninety percent and one complete Law.

It was practically an insurmountable chasm.

Otherwise, why would the Law of Strength be called the strongest among the three thousand Laws?

Pangu had even used this Law to defeat the three thousand divine demons.

As their cultivation of the Primordial Spirit deepened, the Ancestral Shamans gained better and better control over their own personality flaws.

And with the support of the Time-Slowing Law, their lack of time was directly remedied.

Their progress became increasingly terrifying.

If the Demon Clan outside learned of it, they would probably be scared half to death on the spot.

They might even surrender directly. Why the hell would they still fight the Witch-Demon War?

And if the Sages learned of it, their faces would surely turn livid.

Especially the Three Pure Ones.

After putting in so much effort, they had been played like monkeys.
