Zhunti's Show of Force

Although the Three Pure Ones were indignant,

the thought of the Witch Clan's miserable state soon made them gloat.

As for Nuwa,

she received a severe reprimand from Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

The Demon Court had already dominated the world alone, yet they still insisted on stirring up trouble.

This left Heavenly Dao Hongjun deeply dissatisfied.

Of course,

the real reason was that

Nuwa had accepted Heavenly Dao Merit, yet now she was not doing any real work.

Instead, she wanted to break away from the original course. Rather than dealing with the Witch Clan, she wanted the Demon Court to truly unify heaven and earth.

If that truly happened, the authority of the Heavenly Dao would be utterly destroyed.

Thus, when Heavenly Dao Hongjun appeared this time, he showed no courtesy whatsoever.

He ordered the Three Pure Ones to help the Human Race.

If the Heavenly Court, Northern Darkness, and Earth Sect continued slaughtering them,

there would be no need to wait for the Demon-Witch Calamity. The Human Race would be completely exterminated right now.

Nuwa's task,

meanwhile, was to keep the Demon Court under control.

Before the Witch Clan emerged, she was to keep it firmly suppressed within the Heavenly Court.

As for the Human Race,

Heavenly Dao Hongjun also demanded that Nuwa compensate them.

After all, you became a Sage through the Human Race.

Yet before the Demon-Witch Calamity had even passed, you had indulged the Demon Race in slaughtering humans.

Even casting aside the ladder after climbing it was not this quick.

How could that possibly be justified?

You had not even finished repaying what you owed, yet you wanted to turn your back on them.

Impossible!!

And the two Western Sages?

Since they had voluntarily taken responsibility for the Witch Clan matter, Heavenly Dao Hongjun did not pursue the issue with them.

After all, the West truly was barren.

As long as their intentions were for the West and they did not cause some enormous disaster, Heavenly Dao Hongjun would not take it to heart.

And so, the gathering of Sages came to an end.

"Junior Brother, are you truly confident?"

Seeing Zhunti's imposing manner before the Sages, as well as his solemn assurances before Heavenly Dao Hongjun,

Jieyin could not help feeling worried for some reason.

"Senior Brother, leave the Witch Clan to me!!"

"As for Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi, I will have to trouble you, Senior Brother."

Zhunti pressed his palms together, his face full of confidence.

The mere Witch Clan.

Our West shares no incense ties with you.

Why should we care whether you are Pangu Orthodoxy or not?

Pangu Hall.

"It is finally done!!"

Becoming a Sage within Pangu Hall meant there would be no three disasters or six tribulations.

All heavenly tribulations would be blocked.

He had previously experienced twelve laws, but now he had cultivated the Law of Strength himself.

Though the result was the same, the feeling was entirely different.

At this moment, Dijiang's Primordial Spirit, formed from the Law of Strength, had completely stabilized.

The twelve attribute laws had fused into a single Law of Strength Primordial Spirit. Its might was enough to shake heaven and make ghosts weep.

Just then, the doors of Pangu Hall were pounded with thunderous bangs.

This was not knocking. This was ramming the door.

"Zhunti? He actually dared provoke our Witch Clan???"

Through Pangu Hall, he saw Zhunti outside the hall.

From afar, Zhunti kept swinging one hand after another at Pangu Hall.

He treated the doors like a great drum, beating them until they boomed and rumbled.

"You like playing around? Then I will play with you!!"

Dijiang used the Law of Strength to activate Pangu Hall.

Zhunti's casual strike was reflected back with more than a hundred million times its original force.

Though caught off guard, Zhunti was still a Sage.

He countered with a palm strike.

He had thought he would easily block the rebounding force.

But something unexpected happened.

Not only did his palm fail to stop the attack, it exploded right in front of him.

"Impudent!!"

When a Sage grew angry, heaven and earth changed color.

Once the explosion dispersed, it rapidly contracted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, all its power was gathered into Zhunti's palm.

"Witch Clan, you dare resist me?"

Looking at the black sphere in his palm, its power could easily kill a cultivator at the peak of the Quasi-Sage Realm.

Yet in Zhunti's hand, it was no more than a grain of sand.

"Then let me see just how capable this Witch Clan, renowned throughout the Primordial World, truly is."

He hooked the little black sphere with his index finger and gave it a light flick.

The sphere immediately smashed into the entrance of Pangu Hall.

Boom!!

The explosion kicked up endless clouds of dust.

By the law of smoke without damage,

the ancient stone hall remained completely unharmed.

"Let me see how much of my attacks these doors can withstand."

Seeing this result, Zhunti could no longer save face.

So, he attacked more and more frequently.

Bang, bang, bang.

The sounds grew from soft to loud, gradually spreading throughout the entire Primordial World.

Thirty-Fifth Heaven, Taiqing Heaven!!

"Zhunti, is this how you intend to solve the problem???"

Though Yuanshi disdained the Witch Clan, Pangu Hall had been left behind by Pangu.

As the Three Pure Ones formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, they could not tolerate Zhunti's insolence.

"As expected of a barbarian from the West. He knows nothing of Pangu's greatness!!"

Tongtian was displeased as well.

On this matter, he and Yuanshi unexpectedly stood on the same side.

"He is responsible for this matter. Let us deal with the Human Race first."

"Yuanshi, your Expounding Sect will support the Human Race."

"As for Tongtian, your Interception Sect will be responsible for protecting the Human Race."

The Human Race concerned whether they could repay their heavenly debt in the future, so unless absolutely necessary, they could never abandon them.

Over at the Heavenly Court,

Nuwa was exceptionally furious.

She issued repeated orders forbidding every demon from leaving the Heavenly Court.

She even directly reclaimed the Demon-Summoning Banner.

Of course, the Demon-Summoning Banner could not leave the Demon Court, or the Demon Court would lose its means of restraining the demons.

So Nuwa handed the Demon-Summoning Banner directly to Fuxi and had him manage it in her stead.

As a result, the two great Golden Crows became dissatisfied.

At once,

undercurrents began to stir within the Heavenly Court.

The Sages issued their decrees, the Heavenly Court withdrew its troops, and the East began rebuilding from ruin.

Before Zhen Yuanzi had recovered from his injuries, Jieyin came calling.

But how could Zhen Yuanzi possibly join the West?

After a round of negotiations, Jieyin returned empty-handed.

Things went even less successfully with Minghe.

The Underworld's influence now encompassed the entire south.

With merit covering his body, he had reached the peak of the Quasi-Sage Realm.

His 1.296 billion Blood God Clones had also undergone a qualitative transformation under the cleansing of merit.

Yet the entire Primordial World had once again fallen into a deadlock.

Besides the decrees of the Sages,

the most important reason was that the whole Primordial World was shrouded in the sound of a thunderous drum.

Zhunti was attacking the Witch Clan.

And this attack

lasted three whole years!!!

The momentum had begun like crashing thunder, and now the entire Primordial World could hear it clearly.

For three full years, Zhunti had failed to break open the doors of Pangu Hall.

Such brute behavior made Heavenly Dao Hongjun curse him as an idiot.

You said the Three Pure Ones were incapable.

What about yourself?

After battering the door for three years, even if they wanted to come out, you had frightened them into not daring to.

"Witch Clan, open the door for me!!"

Zhunti's eyes were terrifyingly grim.

He had originally wanted to give the Witch Clan a show of force, but before he could deliver it, it had come to an abrupt halt.

Since force would not work, he could only temporarily stop attacking.

But inwardly, he was already furious beyond measure.

Those turtles hiding in their shells were absurdly good at hiding.

[Ding, Zhunti has provoked you for three years. You can hold in your urine, but not your shit.]

[Option one: Ignore him directly. Reward: Azure Lotus Seed.]

[Option two: Open the door and beat him up. Reward: Heavenly Book, Investiture of the Gods.]

[Option three: Lure the enemy deep in and teach him a lesson. Continue lying low on Mount Buzhou. Reward: Innate Supreme Treasure, Chaos Pearl!!]
