Ten Years, One Law

"I was overthinking it. What could a mere Witch Clan amount to?"

"Once I thoroughly uncover the mysteries of Pangu Hall, I'll seize it for myself."

Sure enough.

Under Dijiang's control, even Ancestral Dragon swiftly lost his way within Pangu Hall.

He was plotting against the entire Witch Clan, while Dijiang wanted to keep using Ancestral Dragon as well.

One Law every ten years.

This deal was nothing short of a blood-soaked windfall.

Unless Ancestral Dragon's value was squeezed dry to the very last drop,

Dijiang would never agree to let him go.

Time flashed by.

Another three hundred years passed.

The outside world had long since undergone earth-shaking changes.

Ancestral Dragon, believing he had completely grasped Pangu Hall's secrets, hurriedly left the place as well.

By then, Dijiang had earned himself nearly mad with profit.

In three hundred years, he had actually obtained thirty Laws.

Although the Chaos Pearl had been nurturing the Law of Strength, thousands of years of nourishment had not matched the gains of these thirty decades.

Watching Ancestral Dragon leave in complete satisfaction, Dijiang wore an expression of utter reluctance.

"Why did you only come back now?"

Yuan Feng and Primordial Qilin looked at Ancestral Dragon.

They had nearly thought that once Ancestral Dragon went in, he would never come back out.

"The Witch Clan truly hides its depth well!"

Ancestral Dragon's expression was exceptionally grave.

He recounted everything he had experienced over those three hundred years.

He spoke of some great calamity hidden within Pangu Hall, of how it truly deserved to be a treasure left behind by Pangu, and so on.

As though he had just survived a life-and-death battle, causing Yuan Feng and Primordial Qilin to frown.

"Then it seems the Witch Clan cannot be provoked for the time being."

Yuan Feng and Primordial Qilin exchanged a glance.

"Indeed. Compared to the Witch Clan, the Demon Court is nothing to fear!"

Ancestral Dragon chuckled inwardly.

Once he found the right opportunity, he would descend upon Pangu Hall once more.

At that time,

he would take the entire Pangu Hall into his possession and turn it into provisions for his conquest of Heaven and Earth.

As for now—

he would first fool Yuan Feng and Primordial Qilin.

"Then why don't we play along with their scheme?"

Primordial Qilin spoke.

The Sages wanted them to use the Immeasurable Tribulation to restrain the Immeasurable Tribulation.

Thus, the Demon Court descended upon the Primordial Wilderness.

Over these thirty years, they had remained hidden, allowing the Demon Court to rapidly occupy the Primordial Wilderness.

"Lure down those two Little Golden Crows, and we'll join forces to kill them."

"The Demon Court will belong to me, the Primordial Wilderness will go to Primordial Qilin, and all the seas of Heaven and Earth will belong to you, Ancestral Dragon."

"What do you say?"

Before the battle had even begun, Yuan Feng was already dividing the territory.

"I have no objections."

Primordial Qilin nodded.

"After this is done, you must hand Minghe and Kunpeng over to me!"

Ancestral Dragon considered it.

Though the three of them were now deceiving Zhen Yuanzi and the other two as well,

unlike Yuan Feng and Primordial Qilin, Ancestral Dragon had another deal with Zhen Yuanzi.

"Minghe is cunning and even dared to haggle with me."

"Ancestral Dragon, even if you hadn't said so, once this is over, there will be no place for him in Heaven and Earth."

Primordial Qilin agreed without hesitation.

"Kunpeng carries my bloodline."

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

Unlike Primordial Qilin, Yuan Feng was Kunpeng's ancestor.

"Those who achieve the Great Dao stop at nothing."

"Yuan Feng, when did you become so softhearted?"

Ancestral Dragon sneered.

"Fine!"

The hesitation in Yuan Feng's eyes vanished in an instant.

Their plan went exceedingly smoothly.

Another hundred years passed.

The Demon Court

had already reached the city gates.

"Big Brother, those three fools still want to join forces now!"

Over the past century or so,

the first force the Demon Court crushed was not the Earth Sect, Northern Darkness, or the Underworld.

It was Ksitigarbha Buddha of the west.

For some unknown reason, when the Demon Court descended, Ksitigarbha Buddha fought to the death.

With Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun joining forces,

Ksitigarbha Buddha was beaten until both body and soul were extinguished.

That scene had left the two Great Golden Crows stunned for quite a while.

No matter what,

Ksitigarbha Buddha had the Western Two Saints behind him, yet why had he died the fastest?

It was almost as though he had willingly gone to his death.

Because of this,

Di Jun used the River Diagram and Luo Writing to conduct a round of deductions.

Yet in the end, he failed to deduce anything at all.

As the Demon Court continued reaping gains across the Primordial Wilderness, they gradually cast the matter of Ksitigarbha Buddha behind them.

Wa Sovereign Palace.

"Two idiots!"

Nuwa had seen everything.

She could not help becoming even more wary of the Western Two Saints' methods.

Ksitigarbha Buddha was a talented seedling the west had obtained only with great difficulty, yet they had abandoned him so quickly.

That did not fit the Western Two Saints' miserly nature.

Yet for her, a Sage Realm expert, to surpass Zhunti and Jieyin in deducing the secrets of Heaven was asking the impossible.

So she kept watching the Demon Court.

Because

the more of the Primordial Wilderness the Demon Court occupied, the more merit she gained.

At the same time, she knew that the Dragon-Han Three Clans' plan was about to begin.

For that reason,

she specifically had Fuxi bring over her Demon-Summoning Banner.

Rumble!!!

Sure enough.

Just as the Demon Court believed victory was within its grasp, three figures abruptly appeared with overwhelming force.

They caught the two Great Golden Crows completely off guard.

One had to know that the Dragon-Han Three Clans were the last batch of living beings to cultivate the Mythic Grand Luo System.

Beyond cultivating both life and essence, they possessed all manner of unimaginable powers.

Moreover, those three old monsters had endured for far too long. They waited until the two Great Golden Crows had beaten Minghe, Kunpeng, and Zhen Yuanzi nearly to death before suddenly leaping out.

The force they brought with them was simply heaven-shaking and earth-shattering.

Even Eastern Emperor Taiyi was so shocked that he repeatedly shook the Chaos Bell.

But since Ancestral Dragon and the other two had endured for so long, they had naturally prepared countless methods in advance.

Thus, they gave the two Great Golden Crows no chance to react.

They swiftly slaughtered their wings.

The Ten Demon Marshals and three thousand Demon Gods

were killed without even a chance to resist.

With that, the core formation of the Cosmic Starry Sky Grand Formation collapsed without a fight.

The two Great Golden Crows flew into a rage, but what greeted them were even more terrifying methods from the three clan leaders.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Even the River Diagram and Luo Writing, together with the Chaos Bell, were forcibly suppressed until they could not move.

"Dragon-Han Grand Luo!"

Seeing that the moment had come, Ancestral Dragon roared.

He intended to join forces with Yuan Feng and Primordial Qilin, using the formation they had comprehended to suppress and kill the Primordial Spirits of the two Great Golden Crows.

There was no other way.

The defenses of the River Diagram and Luo Writing together with the Chaos Bell were harder than a tortoise shell.

But this did not stump the three of them.

They could not break the shell, but they had methods to kill the souls inside it.

"Big Brother, what do we do now?"

Tai Yi's face was dark and grim.

Even under the Chaos Bell's protection, Tai Yi could sense the threat of death.

"Tai Yi, I'll send you out!"

The River Diagram and Luo Writing calculated frantically, allowing Di Jun to find a way to break the situation.

But the price would be extremely heavy.

"Big Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"We brothers were born together, and if we die, we die together."

The moment Eastern Emperor Taiyi heard that, he immediately refused.

"Tai Yi, listen to me."

"You escape first, then place my essence blood upon the Sun Star."

"I can be reborn through Nirvana. I won't die!"

Naturally, that was not true.

But with the situation so dire, a decision had to be made.

Who would have thought that what they believed would be a battle of victory had instead become the day of their deaths?
