After Learning That Dao Ancestor Hongjun Had Lent a Hand, the Six Heavenly Dao Sages Rejoiced and, After Giving Thanks, Immediately Entered the Final Stage
Boom!
Xuanming self-destructed.
The Ancestral Witch has begun her self-destruction.
The Five Elements Ancestral Witch joined forces to stop Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Zhu Jiuyin charged toward the heavily injured Dijun.
"I've witnessed this scene many times throughout River of Time, and this time it has finally come true."
On his deathbed, Zhu Jiuyin laughed wildly, yet also felt a sense of relief. Dijun felt the same way, facing death with equanimity.
That's why they all smiled knowingly.
They understood that the other had seen a glimpse of the future, and the frustration of knowing that their race was heading towards extinction but being unable to speak out, the loneliness of being trapped in the vortex of Calamity Qi yet remaining clear-headed, made them feel extremely sad and distressed.
Unexpectedly, in the final moments of his life, it was his opponent who understood him better, and he even felt a sense of mutual respect.
Boom!
Zhu Jiuyin self-destructed, taking Dijun with him in death.
The Five Elements Ancestral Witch also perished together with Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
At the critical moment of death, Zhurong, the Ancestral Witch of fire, Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch of water, out of the self-destruction circle. Water-Fire are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Although they were the most incompatible among the Ancestral Witch, they also had the deepest affection for each other.
Naturally, we hope that one of them can survive.
The Wind Ancestral Witch dragged Empress Changxi into self-destruction.
As for the Ancestor Kunpeng, he had long sensed that things were not going well, and had already taken away the River Diagram and Luo Scripture, and fled.
The entire Nine Heavens was riddled with holes, and the mountains and rivers were in utter ruin. Powerful beings had no place to protect them, and the land was in complete disarray, with countless lives lost.
In this great war, the Witch and Demon Clans lost hundreds of billions of lives.
Heaven and earth grieved, and a torrential rain of blood fell.
"Hahaha!"
"I'm the only one left."
"Since they are all dead, our Witch Clan has been defeated."
"Then what's the point of having this heaven and earth!"
"They will all perish with us, then emerge from the River of Time to start anew!"
Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch of water, laughed hysterically.
His expression was crazed, his eyes resolute, and he charged headlong into Buzhou Mountain.
Buzhou Mountain is the Heavenly Pillars, closest to the Nine Heavens, and bears the weight of heaven and earth. The Witch-Monster War severely damaged Buzhou Mountain.
Already overburdened, it needs time to recover.
With the final, powerful strike from Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch Gonggong water, Buzhou Mountain collapsed like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Certainly!
Any other top-tier powerhouse would definitely not have been able to knock down the Heavenly Pillars.
Even though Pangu's pressure was extremely weak, it was still not something that even Peak Quasi-Sage could easily shake.
Because the Ancestral Witch were descendants of Pangu and brought endless Calamity Qi with them, Buzhou Mountain, which was already under immense pressure, collapsed with a deafening roar.
A huge hole appeared in the sky and earth.
The endless waters of the Heavenly River poured down.
One drop falling to the earth becomes ten thousand drops; in an instant, the world is a vast ocean. Countless living beings struggle and perish in the flood, large mountains collapse, and many races perish.
The sky tilts to the northwest, the sun, moon, and stars shift; the earth sinks to the southeast, where floods and dust find their final resting place.
Furthermore, lava erupted, and fiery torrents surged forth.
The six saints were shocked.
The heavens and earth were terrified.
No one expected that the cataclysmic event following the Witch-Demon Final Battle would lead to the Heaven-Collapse Calamity.
Just then, a large cauldron flew out from the Western Lands, temporarily blocking the Heavenly River; it was the Myriad Things Cauldron.
Zhu Yin had been observing Gonggong's every move for a long time.
He dared not stop a powerful Ancestral Witch Life-and-Death.
However, he could react as quickly as possible, minimizing the harm Heaven-Collapse Calamity and incidentally gaining some Merit.
It benefits both Primordial Wilderness and oneself—a win-win situation, so why not do it?
From the moment Dijiang fell, Zhu Yin began to venture Western Lands, rescuing living beings and guiding them westward, while also heading towards Buzhou Mountain. The other powerful figures of Spirit Platform Mountain each had their own direction.
When he arrived at Buzhou Mountain, which was hundreds of millions of miles away, the mountain collapsed. Thus, Zhu Yin Space Law to traverse space and arrive.
Using the Myriad Things Cauldron to catch the water from the Heavenly River is only the first step.
Next, he summoned the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Six-Purities Bamboo, and infused it with magical power. In an instant, it swelled up and transformed into a giant bamboo raft to rescue the creatures that had fallen into the water.
He then temporarily summoned the Five Spirit Pearls from the Five Elements Spirit-Gathering Formation and used the Five Elements Law, with each of the five innate high-grade spirit pearls performing its own function.
The Water Spirit Pearl dredges the water veins, guiding floodwaters into the Four Seas.
The Wood Spirit Pearl restored Life Force, restoring Life Force to the mountains and all things.
The Fire Spirit Pearl suppressed the magma and extinguished the blazing flames.
The Earth Spirit Pearl repairs the earth's veins and rebuilds collapsed mountains and hills.
The Metal Spirit Pearl unleashed its sharpness, slaying any creatures that seized the opportunity to cause trouble.
In addition, Zhu Yin assigned tasks to the two corpses, the Benevolent Corpse, the Daoist Qingjing, to help all living beings, and the Malicious Corpse Lord Bo Xun, to collect corpses.
Finally, he collected the largest piece of Buzhou Mountain ahead of schedule, revealing his true form, which was 60,000 feet tall. A Heaven-Piercing Jade Bamboo stood there, and the three thousand worlds manifested in its lush branches and leaves.
The Heaven-Piercing Jade Bamboo supports the sky, the three thousand worlds devour the Heavenly River's water, and the Myriad Things Cauldron shares the burden of pressure.
These actions all happened in the blink of an eye, and as soon as they were completed, the Six Heavenly Dao Sages arrived.
Seeing that Zhu Yin was able to hold on for the time being, the Six Heavenly Dao Sages did not immediately replace him. There is always a first-come, first-served order in everything. The Heaven-Collapse Calamity is a disaster for all living beings, but Merit for the great ones.
They wouldn't be so uncouth as to compete with a junior for Merit.
Fortunately, Zhu Yin's actions gave them more time to quell the chaos caused by the collapse of the heavens.
The Taiqing Saint offered up the Taiji Diagram, a supreme Innate Supreme Treasure, to regulate the two energies of heaven Heaven-Earth.
The Yuqing Saint offered up the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the supreme treasure for proving his Dao, to comb through the Primordial Starry Sky.
The Shangqing Saint went to find the substance that could support the sky, Saint Nuwa went to collect the substance that Mending the Heavens.
The Two Sages of the West, one to save all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness and the other to repair the Primordial Wilderness earth veins, naturally took the opportunity to stabilize the earth since the newly broken earth veins were relatively easy to repair.
It is worth mentioning that before searching for the objects that could support and Mending the Heavens the sky, both the Shangqing Saint and the Saint Nuwa glanced at the Zhu Yin that was supporting the sky, their eyes filled with regret.
In their eyes, this was the most suitable thing.
It can serve as Heavenly Pillars and also Mending the Heavens.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yin is the Chief Disciple of the Western Teaching, and the Two Sages of the West would never agree to it. Forcing the issue would only provoke them to fight to the death, making the Primordial Wilderness world even worse.
Zhu Yin naturally sensed the favored gazes of the two sages, but he remained calm, believing that his master and senior uncle would not ignore him. It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yin dared to act in this way.
Other powerful beings also reacted quickly, taking action to protect living beings, dredge waterways, and mitigate the harm Heaven-Collapse Calamity.
Three hundred years later.
Zhu Yin could not hold on any longer.
The Taiqing Saint used the Taiji Diagram to temporarily hold back the breach.
The Saint Zhunti offered up the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree, transforming it into a Heaven-Piercing Bodhi Tree, temporarily serving as the Heavenly Pillars supporting the sky.
Another three hundred years passed.
The Shangqing Saint and the Saint Nuwa have returned.
The former slew the first Black Turtle of Heaven and Earth hidden in the Northern Dark Sea, intending to refine its limbs into Heavenly Pillars; the latter received the Five-Colored Divine Stone, intending to refine it to Mending the Heavens.
Although Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure -level cauldron can return these spiritual materials to their original state, the effect is not ideal.
Just as they were pondering a solution, an ancient and simple cauldron flew in from the sky; it was none other than the Qiankun Cauldron, Innate Supreme Treasure.
"Thank you, Master!"
Upon learning that it was Dao Ancestor Hongjun had lent a helping hand, the Six Heavenly Dao Sages were overjoyed. After expressing their gratitude, they immediately began the final preparatory step.
