Di Jiang Becomes a Sage!

As Di Jiang's words fell.

The Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror suddenly flew out from his sea of consciousness, radiating boundless brilliance!

At the same time, the Netherworld Primordial Purple Qi continuously revolved around Di Jiang.

Terrifying Dao resonance spread through the air, and the three thousand laws descended like streaming ribbons.

A soundless thunderous roar arose.

The awe-inspiring bottleneck within his body finally began to tremble, as though it would shatter completely in the next instant.

When Di Jiang had first broken through to Perfected Primordial Golden Immortal, the bottleneck within him had been like an uncrossable heavenly chasm, utterly impossible to breach!

Yet after comprehending the Earthly Dao Treasured Mirror and the Netherworld Primordial Purple Qi, Di Jiang's cultivation continued to rise.

That bottleneck began to shake.

Rumble!

A terrifying Sage's might spread outward.

In an instant, it filled the entire Pangu Hall.

The bottleneck within his body shattered with a bang!

The aura of a Sage spread from Di Jiang's body.

"Sage!"

"So this is the Sage Realm?"

Di Jiang felt his own power, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Becoming a Sage! Not becoming a Sage!

The difference between the two was even more terrifying than a heavenly chasm!

Only now did he truly understand the real meaning of the saying that all beneath Sages were ants.

If he made a move now,

he could easily slay those Quasi-Sages without Primordial Spirit Treasures protecting them.

Of course, if they possessed Primordial Spirit Treasures or companion treasures for protection, killing them would take quite a bit of effort.

For instance, if Ming He had broken through to Quasi-Sage Perfection and wielded Yuantu, Abi, and the Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus,

Di Jiang would have to expend considerable effort to kill him.

Then there were the Three Pure Ones, who possessed the merits of opening the heavens. To kill them, he would have to bear no small amount of karmic burden.

Not worth it!

It was merely not worth it! It was not that they could not be killed.

As Di Jiang pondered this, his cultivation within continued to rise rapidly.

The Sage Realm was likewise divided into nine heavens.

The gap between every heaven was incomparably terrifying!

After breaking through the Ninth Heaven of the Sage Realm, one would reach the Heavenly Dao Realm, the Earthly Dao Realm, or the Human Dao Realm.

That was the level that old loach Hongjun could attain.

Gradually, his cultivation soared rapidly: First Heaven of the Sage Realm, Second Heaven of the Sage Realm...

Pangu Hall possessed the ability to conceal the secrets of Heaven.

The aura Di Jiang released after breaking through to the Sage Realm did not spread beyond Pangu Hall.

Just as Di Jiang's cultivation was rapidly rising,

the Ancestral Witches within Pangu Hall sensed this Sage's might and awoke from their cultivation one after another, their faces instantly filled with shock.

Big Brother had become a Sage!

What terrifying pressure!

The Ancestral Witches all had this thought arise in their minds at the same time.

Their hearts filled with astonishment, and they immediately began transmitting their voices to one another.

"What a terrifying aura! Is this the pressure of a Sage?"

"This aura is actually even stronger than that old loach Hongjun!"

"Big Brother is terrifying beyond measure!"

"Hahahaha, my big brother has the bearing of a Sage!"

"Shut up, Zhurong! What do you mean, he has the bearing of a Sage? Big Brother is already about to become a Sage!"

"Gong Gong, you!!!"

"Zhurong! Shut that mouth of yours!"

"That's right, you crow-beaked jinx! Shut up already!"

"I..."

"Right, where's little sister Hou Tu?"

"Little sister Hou Tu said she had gained some insight, so she went traveling through the Primordial World with little sister Xuanming to continue her comprehension!"

"..."

The Ancestral Witches all spoke at once.

And just as the Ancestral Witches were discussing fervently,

within a mountain range trillions of li away from Pangu Hall,

Hou Tu walked upon solid ground, measuring the lands of the Primordial World step by step. Phantoms of the Reincarnation Law flickered through her eyes.

Suddenly, as though she sensed something, she raised her head toward Pangu Hall, a sweet smile appearing on her face as she said,

"This aura...?"

"Big Brother! Big Brother has become a Sage!"

She possessed the Earth Law and also cultivated the Reincarnation Law. She shared an immense affinity with the Earthly Dao, so naturally she could clearly sense the aura of Di Jiang's breakthrough.

Beside her, Xuanming's eyes also revealed delight as she said,

"That's right!"

"Big Brother has finally become a Sage!"

"Let's return to Pangu Hall!"

Hou Tu smiled and nodded.

Then the two witches hurried toward Pangu Hall.

Hou Tu kept her feet upon the earth and activated the Earth Law. The power of the land propelled them swiftly toward Pangu Hall.

Thirty-Three Heavens.

Soaring Heaven Palace.

The Ten Great Demon Sages, the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, and all the Demon Race watched the seven figures before them with reverence in their eyes.

Two of those figures were none other than Demon Emperor Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

At this moment,

Dijun said with cold eyes,

"Everyone!"

"The matter we discussed today is settled, then!"

"The two of us, together with Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, Tai Shang, Yuan Shi, and Tong Tian—the seven of us dealing with the Ancestral Witches should be as easy as turning over a hand, should it not?"

"Moreover, we have sworn Great Dao oaths. We cannot hold back! At the very least, after slaying the Ancestral Witches, we cannot attack one another."

Tai Shang nodded with an indifferent expression.

Yuan Shi snorted coldly. "So it shall be!"

Sword intent surged around Tong Tian as he nodded silently.

Holding a jeweled banner in his hand, Jie Yin said, "Today is the day we settle our karma with the Ancestral Witches!"

The sorrowful expression on Zhun Ti's face deepened further.

Over here,

Hou Tu and Xuanming hurried toward Pangu Hall.

Along the way, both were delighted. Their big brother had become a Sage, so naturally they were overjoyed.

Just as they were about to reach Pangu Hall,

suddenly,

a shriek capable of shattering islands resounded through the heavens.

Along with that piercing cry,

terrifying Solar True Fire scorched the void.

Two terrifying fireballs, each ten thousand zhang in size, tore straight through the void and smashed toward Hou Tu and Xuanming below.

Those terrifying fireballs had been condensed from the supremely fierce and blazing Solar True Fire.

If they fell into the ocean, they would be enough to evaporate the entire sea.

This showed just how powerful the Solar True Fire was.

Seeing this, Hou Tu's expression shifted slightly, but she did not panic. She raised her fair hand, activating the Earth Law. The boundless mountains and rivers beneath the Primordial World suddenly trembled violently.

The rock strata emitted a deep hum. Earthen hills tens of thousands of zhang tall radiated an ochre glow as they rose before Hou Tu.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The fireballs blasted apart the earthen hills tens of thousands of zhang tall. Rocks flew everywhere, dust billowed into the air, and everything within a radius of ten thousand li became hazy.

"Dijun, Taiyi!"

Xuanming recognized the newcomers and let out a sharp cry.

What Innate Divine Saints besides those two crows could wield Solar True Fire with such effortless mastery?

Xuanming let out a long howl. Icy energy emerged around her body as she activated the Ice Law and spat out Nine Serenities Cold Qi.

The terrifying Nine Serenities Cold Qi transformed into ice spikes stretching ten thousand li. Their temperature was so low that they seemed capable of freezing the void into solid chunks.

With a tearing screech, the ice spikes shot directly toward the two Golden Crow true forms that blotted out the sky.

Dijun and Taiyi, transformed into their true forms, beat their wings and cried out, speaking in human voices,

"Jie Yin! Yuan Shi! Are you still not making your move?"

As their words fell,

Jie Yin appeared in the void, seated cross-legged, golden radiance emerging behind him.

At the same time, auspicious clouds rose around Yuan Shi beside Jie Yin, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"The Ice Law? Truly formidable!"

Jie Yin sighed and offered up the jeweled banner in his hand. It bloomed with Jie Yin Divine Light, cutting down every incoming ice spike.

"Hou Tu! Today will be the day you die!"

Yuan Shi waved the Jade Ruyi in his hand and sent it forth. Boundless Jade Clarity Divine Light burst out, shooting directly toward Hou Tu.
