Seizing the Primordial Gourds!

With Zhen Yuanzi's help, Hong Yun seized the red gourd and refined it into the Ninefold Soul-Scattering Gourd. It contained Red Sand and could be used for both attack and defense.

Red Sand could taint one's Primordial Spirit, while the gourd could absorb souls for its own use.

With Fuxi's help, Nuwa collected the golden gourd.

Tai Shang swung the Flat Cane in his hand, intending to pluck the purple-gold gourd.

Shebi Shi, Ju Mang, and Ru Shou revealed savage grins and shouted:

"Want this gourd? Did you ask us first?"

Tai Shang's face darkened. He viciously swung the Flat Cane and shouted:

"Ancestral Witches, you are far too arrogant!"

Yuan Shi unleashed the Jade Ruyi, which radiated brilliant light as he sought to pluck the purple-green gourd.

But Zhurong and Qiang Liang had no intention of letting him have his way.

They immediately attacked Yuan Shi without hesitation.

Fury flared across Yuan Shi's face. He raised the Jade Ruyi and gritted his teeth.

"You are courting death!"

Tong Tian swung the Green Duckweed Sword at the purple-yellow gourd. This purple-yellow gourd was known as the Water-Fire Gourd, and just as it was about to fall into Tong Tian's hand—

Tian Wu and Yan Zi burst into laughter and said:

"Tong Tian! You are not taking this gourd!"

Tong Tian's expression changed in alarm, but he immediately clenched his teeth and slashed the Green Duckweed Sword at the two witches.

With Dijun's help, Taiyi attempted to pluck the yellow gourd.

Xuanming and Hou Tu exchanged a glance before decisively rushing toward the yellow gourd.

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti joined forces, seeking to pluck a gourd.

Zhu Jiuyin and Zhurong shouted:

"Jie Yin, Zhun Ti! These are spiritual treasures of the east. What right do you have to take them?"

Jie Yin struck ruthlessly as he replied:

"That is not correct!"

"Treasure belongs to the virtuous. These gourds are fated to belong to my junior brother and me!"

A sorrowful look appeared on Zhun Ti's face. He swept the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree toward Zhu Jiuyin and Zhurong without hesitation, saying at the same time:

"My senior brother is right! You should leave at once!"

Zhurong had a fiery temper. The Fire Law erupted as he cursed:

"So you truly are the two shames of the Western Lands! Utterly shameless!"

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's faces immediately darkened. Their powerful attacks fell upon Zhurong without hesitation, attempting to kill him on the spot.

Zhu Jiuyin let out a long howl, and the River of Time emerged, carrying terrifying temporal power.

In an instant, they clashed, unleashing one powerful attack after another.

Clear light filled the void, Solar True Fire scorched countless realms, the Ancient Bodhi Tree swayed, and Gengjin Essence transformed into thousands of weapons...

Time was profoundly mysterious, lightning bombarded everything, the power of fire was terrifying beyond measure, the power of water spread through the Primordial World, and the Earth Law bore all things and buried all things...

After Hong Yun and the others successfully plucked their gourds,

they looked toward the Ancestral Witches' fierce battle, their faces immediately filled with shock.

They had never expected the Ancestral Witches to be able to fight the Three Pure Ones on even footing.

Then they realized that the reason they had obtained the gourds so smoothly was likely because they had not antagonized the Ancestral Witches. For a moment, they felt immensely fortunate.

Hong Yun sent a voice transmission to Zhen Yuanzi:

"Dao Brother! The Ancestral Witches are actually this powerful?"

Zhen Yuanzi was secretly shocked as well and said:

"This is also my first time seeing the Ancestral Witches make a move."

"Their strength is likely no weaker than mine."

Hong Yun was instantly stunned upon hearing this.

Dao Brother was actually inferior to the Ancestral Witches?

One had to know that Dao Brother Zhen Yuanzi possessed the Earth Book!

The Primordial Eight Trigrams hovered above Fuxi's head, spinning continuously as though calculating something. Then he let out a muffled groan, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Nuwa was greatly alarmed. She hurried forward to support Fuxi and asked:

"Brother, are you alright?"

Fuxi shook his head. Looking at the Ancestral Witches, his expression was filled with uncertainty and alarm.

"The Ancestral Witches cannot be calculated!"

"Sister! I cannot calculate anything about them."

"This is no small matter!"

Nuwa's expression immediately turned grave.

Her brother excelled in the art of calculation, yet even he could not calculate the Ancestral Witches?

Di Jiang looked toward the other Ancestral Witches, a smile appearing on his face as he nodded repeatedly.

Sure enough! After cultivating in seclusion for so long, the Ancestral Witches' strength had grown rapidly.

They could now fight the Three Pure Ones on even footing.

Unlike Di Jiang,

the Three Pure Ones were secretly shocked.

They actually could not do anything to the Ancestral Witches.

They even seemed to be faintly suppressed by them. How was that possible?

Tai Shang's gaze was solemn.

Yuan Shi's anger grew ever stronger.

Sword intent surged around Tong Tian.

Dijun was deeply shaken.

Taiyi's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Jie Yin gritted his teeth.

The sorrow on Zhun Ti's face became even more pronounced.

Di Jiang withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining five gourds. Spatial power erupted, gathering every gourd into his hand.

His gaze fell upon the blue gourd.

Immediately afterward, information about the blue gourd entered Di Jiang's mind.

Only then did Di Jiang understand.

This blue gourd was also called the Chaos Gourd. It could refine Chaos energy into Innate Spiritual Energy. Its function was extraordinarily powerful, but if one wished to fully unleash that function,

it would likely require further refinement!

As for the other gourds, each possessed its own wondrous abilities.

For example, the purple-gold gourd contained a world within it and could extract the essence of material properties.

"Excellent treasures! Take them all!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Di Jiang's lips as he nodded.

Seeing Di Jiang act this way, the Three Pure Ones were nearly angered to death.

Three Pure Ones: "Di Jiang! You are shameless!"

The two shames of the Western Lands: "Di Jiang, are you not being too greedy?"

Dijun and Taiyi: "Hand over the gourds!"

Seeing this, the other Ancestral Witches roared:

"You dare speak to our elder brother like that?"

"Get down here!"

Then the Ancestral Witches returned to their true forms, revealing all manner of appearances.

Ju Mang had a human face and bird body covered in emerald feathers. His wings shimmered with azure light, his feet were sharp talons, and a crown of green vines grew atop his head.

Ru Shou had a human face and tiger body covered in snow-white fur. Golden patterns ran across his back, his tail bore bone spikes, and his twin horns were gold and silver.

Gong Gong had a serpent body and human face covered in deep-blue scales with silver water patterns. Fish fins grew from his back, while crocodile claws extended from his belly.

Zhurong had a human face and serpent body, entirely crimson in color. His scales resembled molten lava, and a crown of flames rose from his head.

After returning to their true forms, the power of their attacks increased severalfold.

Terrifying attacks crashed down upon the Three Pure Ones and the others.

They cried out in shock.

Tai Shang shouted, "Leave at once!"

Tong Tian and Yuan Shi nodded, then immediately retreated.

Dijun's expression changed drastically as he shouted, "Second Brother! Retreat!"

Taiyi nodded and transformed into a Golden Crow, flapping his wings as he flew away.

Jie Yin's expression was grave. He grabbed Zhun Ti, surrounded himself with Gengjin Essence, and swiftly flew toward the Western Lands.

Hong Yun and the others felt their scalps go numb at the sight.

The other Ancestral Witches were all this powerful?

Then just how powerful was Di Jiang, the leader of the Ancestral Witches?

The eleven Ancestral Witches returned to human form and sneered disdainfully.

"The Three Pure Ones? Pah! You call yourselves Pangu's orthodox lineage? We Ancestral Witches are Father God's true bloodline."

"That's right! We even chased off those two little birds. This is killing me!"

"The two shames of the Western Lands are nothing special!"

"..."

The Ancestral Witches spoke one after another.

The fleeing Three Pure Ones and the others possessed keen hearing and sharp sight, so naturally they heard the Ancestral Witches' words.

More importantly, the Ancestral Witches had not bothered to hide their words from anyone.

The Three Pure Ones stumbled in midair, then steadied themselves and quickly flew deeper into Mount Kunlun.

The Gengjin Essence surrounding the two men from the Western Lands grew denser, containing powerful killing intent.

Dijun and Taiyi gritted their teeth, their eyes blazing with fury.
