The entire battlefield between the Witch Race and the Demon Clan was filled with baleful energy and dense blood qi.
The relentless meteor assault had been contained.
Most of the meteors were dissolved and shattered before they could strike the Witch Race.
At this point in the battle, with no major shifts, it came down to which side had greater reserves of strength.
Only when one side had completely exhausted its strength and fallen would it end.
Left with no choice, Dijun could only keep feeding troops into the fray. Large numbers of Demon Clan members were forced to join the battlefield.
They contributed their share of strength.
Dijun had always harbored a thought: he knew that in a contest of combat power, the Demon Clan likely could not match the Witch Race.
He had no idea where the Witch Race had acquired such ferocious Martial Dao Divine Power. Their bodies were terrifyingly powerful.
The only option now was to wear down the Witch Race. After all, the Demon Clan had more people.
The Witch Race was different. Every death meant one fewer member, and replenishing their numbers was far more difficult than it was for the Demon Clan.
Clearly, Dijun's tactic of feeding in reinforcements had succeeded.
The Witch Race's initial momentum was suppressed, and they gradually began to show signs of defeat.
Dijiang, who was presiding over the formation, grew anxious.
He had no idea where Dijun had found so many Demon Clan members. For every one killed, a hundred more emerged.
No, this could not continue.
Dijiang clenched his teeth and roared, "Brothers, summon the Father God!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches all roared, "Father God above, lend your children your strength!"
The twelve figures slowly began to gather together.
A gigantic figure that left all living beings of the primordial world utterly shocked appeared on the battlefield between the Witch Race and the Demon Clan.
"Pangu True Body." Laozi, who had been watching with great interest atop Kunlun Mountain, cried out in shock.
Tongtian stared blankly at the battlefield, muttering, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
Yuanshi wore the same expression of utter disbelief.
Jie Yin and Zhunti, who were hiding in the void above the battlefield and preparing to snatch some gains at any moment, went pale.
They staggered and nearly revealed their true forms.
Damn it, this was cheating. Run!
Without looking back, the two of them fled straight to Mount Sumeru.
Fortunately, blankets had not yet been invented. Otherwise, the two of them would have crawled under one to calm their shock.
The face of the Pangu True Body was veiled by a layer of thick mist, making its features impossible to see.
Yet any living being in the primordial world who saw that figure would not need to identify it.
An answer would arise in their hearts: Pangu.
This was an imprint engraved upon the souls of all living beings in the primordial world, one that could neither be erased nor altered.
Even the Heavenly Dao lacked such power.
It was an ability unique to a creator of worlds.
The hazy Pangu stood still for a moment before a voice that no beings in the primordial world could resist rang out: "Axe, come."
The Heaven-Opening Three Treasures trembled violently, about to fly toward that voice.
Laozi and Yuanshi were horrified as they desperately suppressed the restless Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner.
Only after cutting off their aura did they finally calm down.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Clock was not so easy to control. Taiyi's refinement of the Chaos Clock had been insufficient to begin with.
Moreover, he was on the battlefield. With a roar from "Pangu," he lost control, and it broke free from him.
"Eastern Emperor Bell!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi was badly frightened. He had no idea why the Eastern Emperor Bell, which had been born alongside him, had left him, or where it had gone.
When he tried to sense the Eastern Emperor Bell again, there was no response.
Clearly, either someone had erased his primordial spirit mark or severed his connection to it.
Either method, if performed in an instant, could only have come from someone not to be provoked.
The axe in "Pangu's" hand was still a phantom. "Pangu" seemed confused for a moment as to why the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe had not returned.
Yet he did not pause for long before directly swinging the phantom Heaven-Opening Divine Axe and shouting, "Open the heavens!"
A phantom blade of light shot from the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe. By the time it reached midair, it had become incomparably enormous.
Crack! The Stars All Over The Heavens Formation became covered in cracks.
With a boom, the Demon Clan could no longer sustain the Stars All Over The Heavens Formation.
Countless Demon Clan members fell from the sky like dumplings dropped into a pot.
Dijun and Taiyi spat blood, their faces pale as they tumbled out of the formation.
At that moment, Dijun and Taiyi were extremely weak. Any Golden Immortal could likely have taken their lives.
Fuxi was likewise seriously injured.
As for the Ten Great Demon Generals led by Bi Fang, each of them looked pale as gold paper and hovered at death's door.
Clearly, the Demon Clan had suffered a crushing defeat.
They had been defeated by a single axe strike from the Pangu True Body.
They had been caught completely off guard. Who could have expected the Ancestral Witches to possess such a trump card: the Pangu True Body?
Had they known earlier, they would never have so rashly started a war with the Witch Race before devising a countermeasure.
Qing Xuanzi had expected the final outcome to turn out this way.
But he had never personally witnessed it before.
Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was still utterly shaken.
Great God Pangu was simply too incredible. The Pangu True Body alone was already so powerful.
If the Three Pure Ones could also summon Pangu, along with Pangu's primordial spirit...
Would that not be the true Pangu?
As Qing Xuanzi considered this, his heart grew hot. Could this be the backup plan Great God Pangu had left behind?
No, the Heavenly Dao should have known about the Witch Race's trump card.
And he knew the Heavenly Dao would definitely stop it.
But why had it not intervened earlier? Why wait until after the Pangu True Body appeared?
Could it be that it wanted the Three Pure Ones to witness the Pangu True Body with their own eyes?
To shock the Three Pure Ones and prevent them from considering merging their primordial spirits as one?
The more Qing Xuanzi thought about it, the more convinced he became.
He could infer that since the Twelve Ancestral Witches could summon the Pangu True Body with their fleshly bodies, they could also separate again.
Then if the Three Pure Ones merged their primordial spirits as one, they would surely be able to summon Pangu's primordial spirit and separate again as well.
Perhaps the Three Pure Ones possessed such a secret technique, though they simply had no need to use it.
As Qing Xuanzi reached this thought, the Pangu True Body raised the phantom Heaven-Opening Divine Axe again.
This time, its target was Dijun and Taiyi.
Seeing this, Fuxi called over the Demon Generals who were on the verge of death and stood with them before Dijun and Taiyi.
Qing Xuanzi sighed inwardly at the sight. Fuxi had devoted his entire life to the Demon Clan. It was both admirable and tragic.
"Stop." It was Hongjun's voice, but the consciousness behind it was the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.
The Pangu True Body looked up, then seemed to gain awareness and lowered its head in thought for a moment.
It raised the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe high and shouted, "Split the earth!"
This time, its target was Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
Heavenly Dao Hongjun seemed to sense something. A wheel appeared behind his head, called the Heavenly Dao Wheel.
The Heavenly Dao Wheel emitted wave after wave of pressure. Half the living beings of the primordial world were swept by that pressure and forced flat to the ground, unable to rise.
Qing Xuanzi was the same. The pressure was simply too powerful, as though the entire primordial world had been pressed onto his back.
However, Qing Xuanzi also knew that this pressure grew stronger against the strong and weaker against the weak. Otherwise, there probably would not be many living beings left in the primordial world.
The attack from the Pangu True Body's Heaven-Opening Divine Axe dissolved halfway through.
After all, it was not a technique unleashed by the true Pangu.
It had merely been performed using the Ancestral Witches' blood essence. Being able to make the Heavenly Dao reveal the Heavenly Dao Wheel was already extraordinarily remarkable.
With a boom, the Pangu True Body could no longer be maintained, and the Ancestral Witches fell out from within it.
Just as the Pangu True Body dissipated, Qing Xuanzi heard a familiar voice in his ear: "Qing Xuanzi, this Heavenly Dao is not that Heavenly Dao. Be careful. You must, within one hundred thousand years..."
