Just as the two women were about to approach Ling Wudao, an immense force jolted them back several steps.
"Sister, it seems something is blocking our way."
"Sister Xuan Ming, this should be a formation, one that reflects attacks back at whoever launches them. When we approached just now, a force clearly repelled us."
"Then how are we supposed to enter the human territory? We can't just destroy the formation, can we?"
Houtu glanced at Xuan Ming, her face full of helplessness.
If they attacked and destroyed the formation, it would definitely draw Nüwa here. That would make things extremely troublesome. Although the Witch Race was powerful now, they were still not strong enough to confront a Saint head-on.
Of course, if a fight truly broke out, they would not fear a Saint either. After all, they still had the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation.
It simply was not worth exposing the Witch Race's greatest trump card just to destroy a formation.
Houtu looked at the young man before her. "Little friend, I am Houtu of the Witch Race, and this one beside me is Xuan Ming. We wish to meet the current leader of the human race. Could you let us enter?"
So they were Houtu and Xuan Ming. Could their purpose in coming to the human race be to form an alliance?
Thinking that was possible, Ling Wudao immediately replied, "So you are the two Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race!"
"I am the Human Emperor of the human race. If you have something to say, just say it."
Xuan Ming looked at Ling Wudao with confusion. "Your cultivation is only at the middle Qi Refining Stage. You do not look like the leader of a race at all. Little brat, don't try to fool your big sister!"
"Otherwise, big sister will beat you up."
Hearing Xuan Ming's words, Ling Wudao could not help but laugh. Xuan Ming had the unmistakable bearing of an alluring older sister, like the girl next door bullying her little brother.
Seeing how amusing Xuan Ming was, Ling Wudao decided to play along. They had likely come to the human race seeking an alliance anyway, and displaying some of his methods early on would keep them from underestimating him later.
With that thought, he stepped out of the formation's range and said to Xuan Ming, "Xuan Ming Ancestral Witch, whether I am qualified to lead the human race is something you can test yourself. I also happen to want to see how strong the Witch Race is."
"Little brat, you want to fight big sister? Then I advise you to put that thought away. Otherwise, one punch from me and you'll be gone."
Ling Wudao smiled at those words. "Xuan Ming Ancestral Witch, I will teach you something today. Never underestimate any enemy, because they may take your life at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Wudao secretly activated the Space Divine Talisman. In an instant, his figure vanished from where he stood.
Xuan Ming and Houtu immediately became alert upon seeing this.
At that moment, Xuan Ming sensed something. Turning around, she discovered that he was standing behind her. "When did you...?!"
Before Xuan Ming could finish, Ling Wudao reached out and smacked her butt, then vanished again.
The moment she realized he had slapped her butt, fury surged within her.
"Little brat, get out here! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Whoosh!
Ling Wudao appeared back in his original spot, raised his palm, and said with a wicked grin, "Your butt was really soft. Shame I didn't get to pat it a few more times."
The moment those words fell, Xuan Ming completely snapped. "Little brat, give me your life!"
Xuan Ming suddenly burst forward and threw a punch at Ling Wudao. Seeing Xuan Ming attack with her full strength, Houtu immediately shouted, "Sister Xuan Ming, don't kill him! Just teach him a lesson!"
Seeing his opponent attack, Ling Wudao immediately brought out a silver-white talisman.
The talisman trembled in the air, then transformed into silver-white energy that merged into his body. Immediately afterward, he threw a punch at Xuan Ming.
Bang!
The two fists collided, and immense energy spread outward. The surrounding mountains were instantly blasted into rubble by the shockwave.
Xuan Ming was stunned by the sight, and so was Houtu.
She knew exactly how powerful Xuan Ming was. The fact that he could take her punch was enough to prove that his strength was absolutely no weaker than the late Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm. Even his physical body was comparable to an Ancestral Witch's.
Such a powerful human should have been impossible even for Nüwa to create. Yet the person before them was undeniably human. It was simply unbelievable.
Meanwhile, Xuan Ming spoke with a shocked expression. "Little brat, how can your physical body be so powerful? Even Di Jun and Tai Yi would not dare take my fist head-on."
Taking one of your punches is easy enough. That Vajra Talisman just gave me the Vajra Undying Body, with physical strength comparable to an Ancestral Witch's body.
Ling Wudao smiled faintly. "As for why my body is so strong, we can study it together all night long. Are you interested?"
At those words, Xuan Ming could not help frowning!
"Little brat, does studying the strength of one's physical body require an entire night?"
Hearing Xuan Ming's response, Ling Wudao suddenly felt that women of the Great Desolation were far too innocent. She had not even caught the implication of such words. If someone from later generations heard it, they would understand immediately.
"Forget it, I won't joke with you anymore. Bullying such an innocent woman as you would make me look like some big bad wolf."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Wudao flicked out two talismans.
Whoosh!
The two talismans vanished instantly. When they reappeared, they had already landed on Xuan Ming's back.
Boom!
Xuan Ming fell from the air and crashed onto the ground, only to discover that she could not move her body at all.
"Little brat, what did you do to me? Why does my body feel as though countless mountains are pressing down on it? I can't even move!"
Seeing that Xuan Ming had been defeated, and utterly so, Houtu was deeply shocked.
However, Houtu soon noticed something unusual. The two talismans on Xuan Ming's body were likely the reason for her defeat.
"Little friend, please remove the talismans from my sister."
Seeing Houtu speak up, Ling Wudao waved his hand. The two talismans on Xuan Ming's body instantly disappeared.
"Houtu, I am the Human Emperor of the human race. You may also call me Ling Wudao."
"Now tell me. What exactly have you come to my human race for?"
"Human Emperor, the two of us came here mainly to form an alliance with your human race. Are you willing to become allies with our Witch Race?"
So they really had come to form an alliance. Still, an alliance with the Witch Race was not a bad thing. Although the Witch Race would decline in the future, Houtu would eventually become the controller of the Earthly Dao.
Moreover, the Witch Race did not use magic treasures, and they stored many such treasures within Pangu Hall. If he formed an alliance with the Witch Race and found a way to obtain those treasures, the human race's strength would surely increase greatly.
