Void Nether Stone, External Incarnation Divine Ability

A hundred years had passed.

To the Primordial World, it was no more than the flick of a finger.

Yet during those hundred years, the Demon Race had developed at breakneck speed.

"I heard another Demon Race beast recently broke through to Grand Luo?"

"How many has that been this year? This Heaven-Earth Merit is fucking useful."

"After a hundred years, Big Brother must have recovered by now."

"Come on, let's go find Big Brother!!"

"."

Before the Ancestral Shamans reached the entrance of the Spatial Hall, Dijiang could not help but sigh.

He had thought he could drag things out for another few hundred years. Who would have imagined that after just one hundred years, this bunch of younger brothers and sisters could no longer hold themselves back?

Since that was the case.

Then... he would carry this act through to the end!!!

"Haha, starting today, our Witch Clan will sweep across the world."

"My brothers and sisters, are you ready?"

The spatial gates opened, and Dijiang took the lead in charging outside.

Hearing their eldest brother speak so boldly, the eleven Ancestral Shamans' eyes blazed with fervor.

But when they saw Dijiang's back—

Every one of them seemed struck by thunder, standing there dumbfounded.

Even the impatient Zhu Rong widened his eyes, staring at Dijiang's back in utter shock.

"My brothers and sisters, what are you waiting for?"

"Your eldest brother has spent a hundred years in seclusion and has now fully recovered."

"Come, come, come! Follow Big Brother and conquer the world."

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi dared to wound me. I'll beat his shit out of him."

Dijiang's aura surged wildly around him.

At times it gathered; at times it sank low.

As eleven siblings who had likewise reached the Ancestor Witch Realm, their gazes grew even more worried.

For on Dijiang's back was a wound the size of a palm.

The power left behind by the Chaos Bell upon it—

Was like venom, little by little devouring Dijiang's back.

The spine was already visible to the naked eye.

Even as the Spatial Law continuously flashed with light, it seemed unable to halt the Chaos Bell's corrosion.

"Big Brother, calm down first, will you?"

Zhu Jiuyin hurriedly tried to soothe Dijiang.

"Calm down? I can't calm down."

"Watching the Demon Race grow so powerful, I'm anxious as the Witch Clan's chieftain."

"For these hundred years, I haven't been able to sleep a wink. I only hate that I cannot fight the Demon Race to the death."

Dijiang spoke frenziedly.

"Big Brother, we didn't come to find you today to go to war. We simply wanted to see how you were doing."

"Right, right. There's still plenty of time; there's no need to rush into fighting the Demon Race."

"Big Brother, we aren't prepared yet. We'll have to trouble you to wait a little longer."

"."

Seeing this, the Ancestral Shamans exchanged glances.

Then, in perfect unison, they began trying to persuade him.

"What is wrong with you all?"

"Even the wound I received from the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, has healed, yet you still aren't ready."

"Aren't you obviously dragging me down?"

Dijiang looked at his eleven younger siblings with an expression of bitter disappointment.

"Big Brother, don't be angry. We'll go back and prepare at once."

"Please rest well in the Spatial Hall. We absolutely will not hold you back."

"Even if our Witch Clan does nothing, we can still intimidate the myriad races."

"The paltry Demon Race is not worth mentioning. Big Brother, just recover in peace."

"."

The eleven Ancestral Shamans cooperated with remarkable tacit understanding and finally calmed Dijiang down.

"Fine, then. I'll study a few more combat techniques."

"When I emerge from seclusion next time, it will be the Demon Race's day of death."

Dijiang snorted twice and entered the Spatial Hall once more.

"The Chaos Bell possesses the might to suppress Hundun, the power to overturn time and space, the function of refining yin and yang, and the ability to reverse heaven and earth. This treasure's mysteries are boundless, its transformations inexhaustible. It can imprison time and suppress space."

"As expected of the Chaos Bell, one of the three great Innate Supreme Treasures. I never expected its damage to Big Brother to be so severe."

"What should we do now?"

The Ancestral Shamans all looked toward Zhu Jiuyin.

"My brothers, do not panic. This injury may look grave, but Big Brother was merely too eager for quick success, allowing his mind to lose its bearings."

"With a few hundred years, relying on his body forged from forty percent Spatial Law and the Sha Qi of the Source of All Evil, the Chaos Bell's power will not last much longer."

The Witch Clan had always been arrogant.

Especially in their confidence in their physical bodies.

They would not allow anyone to question it in the slightest.

"How about we descend the mountain now and seize the Primordial Wilderness?"

"With the blessing of Heavenly Dao Merit, Big Brother's injuries will heal faster."

"I think that is an excellent suggestion."

"."

Among the eleven Ancestral Shamans were naturally radicals, as well as conservatives.

"If we descend the mountain, do you think we can hide it from Big Brother?"

"If he learns that we acted without authorization, do you think he would remain in the Spatial Hall?"

"And most importantly, once word spreads that Big Brother's injuries have not healed, do you think those beasts will let such a good opportunity slip by?"

Even against Eastern Emperor Taiyi alone, Zhu Jiuyin and Dijiang needed to join forces.

Without Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin could not withstand Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Bell.

They had not even been a match at the same realm, much less now that Eastern Emperor Taiyi had broken through.

"Then there is no other way. We can only wait another few hundred years."

"This is no great matter. After all, during the First Witch-Demon War, Big Brother protected us."

"During this time, we should further temper our combat techniques!!"

"."

Listening to the eleven Ancestral Shamans' conversation, Dijiang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"During the time ahead, I must not waste a single moment."

The Witch Clan had hundreds of millions upon billions of clansmen.

Because they cultivated their physical bodies, they cared only for heavenly treasures.

As for things like artifact refinement, they simply left them gathering dust in their storerooms.

Now that he possessed ready-made techniques for artifact refinement, pill refinement, formation refinement, divination, and more—

Why not get them underway during this period?

Especially pills.

Because the Witch Clan had no Primordial Spirit, they simply could not refine any good pills.

Normally, they swallowed heavenly treasures whole, using them to cultivate their physical bodies.

To truly bring out their effects, they still had to be refined into pills.

With that said.

Dijiang immediately began taking action.

The Nine-Revolution Golden Pill was the most famous medicinal pill in the entire Primordial World.

Not only could it bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh from bare bones, it could also increase one's cultivation.

It was truly an all-purpose immortal pill.

"When I bring out the Hundred-Turn Golden Elixir, Laozi, what will you have to say?"

Looking at the first pill he had refined, Dijiang could not help but laugh happily.

This pill was known as the Hundred-Turn Golden Elixir, and its effects were naturally ten times greater than those of the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill.

Yet refining this single pill had directly consumed every last heavenly treasure in Dijiang's storeroom.

But Dijiang was not worried. Using his injuries as an excuse, he had the eleven Ancestral Shamans continuously transport heavenly treasures inside.

"Hm? It's actually a Void Nether Stone."

"Perfect. Within Pangu's Primordial Spirit is a divine ability: the External Incarnation Technique."

"I'll refine it into my External Incarnation. If I place it outside, even Hongjun will be unable to see through the truth of my condition."

During the Chaos Era, there had been three thousand Gods and Devils, each governing one of the three thousand Laws.

And Pangu, the foremost among the three thousand Gods and Devils, naturally possessed numerous divine abilities and Law techniques.

This Void Nether Stone was a spatial divine stone, an exceedingly rare innate treasure.

It happened to be discovered by Dijiang while refining artifacts.

After all, the entire Witch Clan consisted of brawny men who cultivated their bodies. Heavenly treasures they generally had no use for were all piled together.

And now, Dijiang had stumbled upon it by chance.
