Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Madness, the Twelve Ancestral Witches Appear!

"You wretch, how dare you!"

Caught off guard, a heavy, powerful fist had already smashed solidly into Eastern Emperor Taiyi's face.

A burst of searing pain struck him, plunging even Eastern Emperor Taiyi's vision into darkness.

But before he could recover—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Heavy fists rained down one after another. In a brief instant, Zhao Gongming had thrown dozens of punches, beating Eastern Emperor Taiyi's striking features until they caved in.

The lofty Demon Emperor's face was streaming with blood. He had been beaten so senselessly that he looked utterly miserable.

"This guy's really tough!"

Zhao Gongming clicked his tongue in amazement. As a Three-Legged Golden Crow, a Demon Emperor capable of contending with Ancestral Witches, Eastern Emperor Taiyi possessed not only formidable Primordial Spirit cultivation—his physical body was terrifying as well.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked utterly horrifying, his face covered in blood, but in truth, such injuries probably didn't even count as damaged muscles or bones to him.

"Ahhh! I'll kill you!"

Yet compared to the amazed Zhao Gongming, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was nearly driven mad by the waves of agony shooting through his face.

As the supreme Demon Emperor, how arrogant was he? Ever since taking form, he had possessed the accompanying Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell. Even when surrounded and attacked by Ancestral Witches, he could still retreat unscathed.

Who could have imagined that today, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would slap him so viciously across the face? It was like throwing his pride onto the ground and stomping on it several times.

"Die! Die for me!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi roared madly. As a clear cry rang out, endless Solar True Fire surged up from the summit of Mount Buzhou. Soon, a Three-Legged Golden Crow cloaked in boundless golden radiance, like a miniature sun, took shape. Solar True Fire that would never extinguish wreathed its body, radiating unimaginable imperial pressure. The dreadful heat even shattered the space of the Primordial World, as though it would melt everything completely.

At that moment, brutality flickered within the Three-Legged Golden Crow's icy gaze as it stared fixedly at Zhao Gongming before it.

"You trampled upon the dignity of my Demon Race. Today, you must die!"

The Three-Legged Golden Crow spoke in human words, the killing intent in its eyes nearly solidifying into substance. As a Demon Emperor, its temperament naturally wasn't so shallow. By now, it had already calmed down.

Zhao Gongming was merely a Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, yet he could kill Demon Sage Ji Meng. He even possessed such bizarre methods for sealing magical power. Moreover, his physical body was so strong that even Eastern Emperor Taiyi had suffered greatly when caught off guard. This kind of monster already had such terrifying strength while only a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. If he advanced into the Quasi-Sage realm, he would surely become a grave threat to the Demon Court.

Though it had considered bringing him under its command, Great Supernatural Beings in the Primordial World were all proud to the extreme. How could they be so easily subdued?

Especially a monster like Zhao Gongming. If it still held back now, it would simply be courting suffering!

The next moment, dazzling golden light burst from the Three-Legged Golden Crow's body. Its terrifying sharp claws tore through space, seemingly even sharper than a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and viciously clawed down at Zhao Gongming below. At the same time, endless Solar True Fire gathered and slowly transformed into Solar Golden Flame. This was a flame even more terrifying than Solar True Fire; even Quasi-Sage experts would turn to ashes upon being touched by it. Streams of Solar Golden Flame coiled around the dreadful Golden Crow claws as they likewise tore viciously toward Zhao Gongming.

"Attack!"

At that moment, a man in black, his expression sinister and gloomy, released the dreadful aura of a Late Quasi-Sage. No one knew when he had hidden himself nearby. Now, he abruptly transformed into the form of Kunpeng, blotting out heaven and earth, then became a Golden Roc. Together with Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Three-Legged Golden Crow, he clawed fiercely at the back of Zhao Gongming's head from behind.

This was none other than Demon Master Kunpeng, who had descended to the lower realm. He had been seeking a suitable opportunity to strike, and now was the best chance to join forces with Eastern Emperor Taiyi and kill Zhao Gongming.

But this was still far from over!

"Caw!"

A clear cry sounded from above the heavens. Immediately afterward, a golden rainbow pierced through the heaven and earth of the Primordial World. Within it, the shadow of a Three-Legged Golden Crow appeared faintly, its gaze cold as it charged down to kill Zhao Gongming. It radiated unimaginable imperial majesty, as though it would make all things in the Primordial World submit completely.

Demon Emperor Dijun, who had been stationed in the Heavenly Court, had actually made his move as well!

They had surrounded him from three sides: Eastern Emperor Taiyi before him, Demon Master Kunpeng behind him, and Dijun above. Clearly, the potential Zhao Gongming had displayed had made even the Demon Emperors feel threatened!

Today, they had acted together to strangle this enormous threat to the Demon Race atop Mount Buzhou!

"Uh..."

Zhao Gongming was rather helpless too.

He was only a newly advanced Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. What had he done to deserve having the Demon Race's three strongest forces—Dijun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Kunpeng—join hands to kill him?

"I only slaughtered one Demon Sage and slapped Eastern Emperor Taiyi in the face. Was this really necessary?"

Zhao Gongming muttered to himself. Of course, even as he spoke, with a thought, an ordinary-looking talisman had already appeared.

This was the Sage Talisman Tongtian the Saint had bestowed upon him when he had joined the Interception Sect. It contained a Saint's single strike.

Once activated, it would be equivalent to a full-force strike unleashed by a Heavenly Dao Sage—moreover, Tongtian Cult Leader, the one most skilled in slaughter and battle.

The Spell-Sealing Disc could only seal powers beneath the Saint realm, so naturally it could not restrict the power of this Sage Talisman.

However, even Zhao Gongming couldn't control power at the Saint level. Once he activated it, not only Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but likely Demon Emperor Dijun and Demon Master Kunpeng would all spill their blood on the spot.

The two supreme Demon Emperors were protagonists of the Lich Calamity. If they fell and spilled their blood, it would truly be like punching a massive hole through the heavens.

He didn't know whether Master Tongtian could withstand the Karmic Power and consequences of such a thing!

"Hahaha! How could the Witch Race be absent from such a lively affair?"

But just as Zhao Gongming prepared to activate the Sage Talisman, a rough laugh rang out. Immediately, the space before Zhao Gongming began to ripple.

Then, a giant figure clad in black scales and standing atop a black dragon stepped forth. Endless flames likewise coiled around its body. Facing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's frontal attack, it neither dodged nor retreated, instead throwing out a punch of its own. At the same time, the remaining eleven Ancestral Witches also appeared. Among them, Ancestral Witch Dijiang charged directly toward Demon Emperor Dijun above Zhao Gongming's head.

As for Demon Master Kunpeng, the instant he saw the Ancestral Witches appear, he transformed into a streak of black light and fled in panic. He watched from afar, not daring to approach in the slightest.

Bang! Bang!

The next moment, two muffled explosions rang out as Ancestral Witch Dijiang and Ancestral Witch Zhurong violently collided with the two Three-Legged Golden Crows transformed from Demon Emperors Dijun and Taiyi!
