Far off in the distance from Buzhou Mountain.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were doing their utmost to devour the Sha Qi between heaven and earth, all changed expression drastically.
Someone actually dared to spy on them in secret.
What audacity!
Though these Ancestral Witches currently had no reputation in the Primordial World, they were not to be trifled with.
Especially since the Witch Race by nature showed no reverence for the Heavenly Dao, no respect for saints, and acknowledged no law or restraint.
Even if they encountered experts from the Three Clans, they would not hesitate to fight them head-on.
"What's there to say to these sneaky bastards!"
"Watch me take him down directly!"
One of the witches, a burly man with a flushed face, bellowed.
The next moment, he lunged straight toward the direction where Tongtian and Ao Li were hiding.
His fist instantly stirred up a gale, and the air itself cracked with explosive sounds in the void.
"Fall back a bit."
Tongtian instructed Ao Li, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Well met!
He had been wanting to test just how strong the Ancestral Witches' physical bodies were.
Urging the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, Tongtian's own physical power erupted violently.
He punched forward, swift as lightning!
Boom!
Their fists collided in midair, and in an instant, a vast gale spread outward from the two of them as the center.
Even ripples appeared in the void.
The Ancestral Witch's physical strength was truly formidable; Tongtian felt an irresistible force surge through him.
His body staggered back several steps before he managed to steady himself.
Though he had been driven back, Tongtian's heart was even more delighted.
The Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill was indeed a supreme technique for tempering the body.
It had actually elevated the Twelve Ancestral Witches' physiques to such a fierce level.
If he could get his hands on it, his own body would likely become equal to theirs.
And he might even hold an advantage over them!
"You've got some skill, I'll give you that!"
Compared to Tongtian, Zhurong was filled with shock.
This fellow's body—was it really this strong?
Since the Twelve Ancestral Witches had taken form between heaven and earth, they had never encountered a living being whose physical body could match theirs.
And they, the Ancestral Witches, were Pangu Sect Disciples! Descendants of the great god Pangu.
How could any creature of the Primordial World compare to them?
This man must have an extraordinary origin; otherwise, he couldn't possess such a body!
But that didn't give him the right to spy on them. With a furious roar, Zhurong struck again with all his might, charging at Tongtian.
Tongtian paid it no mind and once more drove his physical strength to clash with Zhurong.
The two exchanged blows, fists and feet flying without pause.
Violent power collided repeatedly, and the ground beneath them cracked into countless fissures.
"This man's body can actually rival us Ancestral Witches."
The other witches watched the two locked in combat, surprise evident on their faces.
After all, they had never encountered an expert whose physical form could contend with theirs.
Even the Dragon Clan, famed in the Three Clans for their tough bodies, seemed unimpressive in their eyes.
"Big brother, no matter who this fellow is,"
"he's definitely up to no good."
"With someone like that, there's no need to be polite."
Gonggong spoke in a booming voice.
The other Ancestral Witches all nodded in agreement.
This guy was clearly scheming something—one look and you could tell he wasn't a good person.
Dijiang understood his brothers' intent and immediately said, "Good!"
"Then let us act together."
"First, we'll take this fellow down."
As his words fell, his form instantly transformed into a streak of brilliant light, charging straight at Tongtian.
The other Ancestral Witches also made their moves, attacking Tongtian from all directions.
Tongtian had originally planned to exchange a few moves with Zhurong before explaining his purpose.
Who would have thought that before he even had a chance to speak, all twelve Ancestral Witches would charge in recklessly?
These fellows were far too impatient!
If he truly harbored ill intentions, he would have struck long ago.
Thinking this, Tongtian couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It was said that the Witch Race were a bunch of brutes.
Now it seemed that was indeed the case.
With such a reckless, headlong style, how could they survive in the Primordial World?
No wonder the Witch Race, despite having an advantage over the Demon Race, could never crush them and become the rulers of the Primordial World.
If a bunch of iron-headed simpletons became the overlords of the Primordial World, the image was simply unimaginable.
"I originally thought that the brothers Zhurong and Gonggong killing each other might have been due to some manipulation."
"Now it seems more likely that they were simply provoked, and then fought to the death."
"With a temperament like theirs, the difficulty of sowing discord is far too low."
Tongtian muttered to himself.
Facing the combined assault of the twelve Ancestral Witches, relying on his physical body to fight was out of the question.
Their bodies were already slightly superior to his, let alone the fact that he was outnumbered twelve to one.
But fortunately, his greatest strength had never been his body—it was the powerful spiritual treasures in his hands!
"Open!"
With a low shout, a dense aura of mysterious yellow energy spread out above Tongtian's head.
The Innate Merit Treasure, the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda, immediately enveloped his form within it.
That wasn't all. As Tongtian's hand grasped through the void, the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, swirled around his palm.
It then floated to his side, its mysterious primordial power surging like ocean waves.
With a flip of his palm, the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Reincarnation Seal, was also summoned by Tongtian.
To defeat all twelve Ancestral Witches, he would certainly have to rely on the power of the Reincarnation Seal.
Moreover, putting these twelve fellows in their place was a good thing.
That way, he could more smoothly trade for what he needed.
After all, the Ancestral Witches respected the strong.
The only way to earn their respect was to utterly crush them!
Only then would they obediently consider the suggestions he put forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
By now, all kinds of attacks had slammed into the mysterious yellow energy formed by the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.
Yet no matter how fierce their power was, they simply could not break through that seemingly soft, yielding mysterious yellow force!
"What's this? Have all twelve of you not eaten?"
"With attacks like these, you want to deal with me? You're far from it."
Tongtian even had the leisure to provoke the twelve Ancestral Witches.
This was also to make them unleash their full strength.
That way, even if they all fell to his hands, they would have no excuse.
Sure enough, seeing his arrogance, Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches were all furious.
They already thought themselves arrogant and proud enough, but this fellow was even more insolent than them.
There was nothing more to say!
Today, they had to teach him a harsh lesson.
Not to mention they were ganging up on him—if they lost, they simply couldn't afford the shame.
"Villain, do not be so arrogant!"
"Do you think that relying on a few spiritual treasures allows you to look down on everyone?"
Flames shot from Zhurong's nostrils in fury, and the next moment, flames blazed within his pupils as well.
He had directly invoked the power of the Law of Flame.
In an instant, the fire scorched mountains and boiled seas, as if it would completely devour Tongtian's figure within the rolling inferno.
Yet such methods were utterly useless against Tongtian.
With one hand forming a seal, the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag suddenly burst forth with azure light.
Waves of mysterious primordial power surged like ocean tides, encircling his body.
The raging flames met the currents formed by the mysterious primordial power.
And in an instant, they vanished without a trace, dissipating into nothing.
Seeing this, the other Ancestral Witches couldn't help but grow serious.
This scoundrel might be arrogant, but he certainly had the capital to back it up.
Each of these three spiritual treasures possessed formidable power.
Still, as Ancestral Witches, they were hardly afraid!
Today, they had to teach him a lesson!
Thus, the Ancestral Witches all prepared to unleash their trump cards to deal with Tongtian.
But Tongtian had no intention of just taking a beating.
What he wanted was to use absolute strength to make the Twelve Ancestral Witches submit wholeheartedly.
Not to rely on two defensive spiritual treasures and leave them helpless against him.
That way, they would surely never be convinced.
So Tongtian immediately poured his vast magical power into the Reincarnation Seal.
In an instant, a terrifying aura emerged from the Reincarnation Seal.
The next moment, it shot forward with force.
The Ancestral Witch facing him was still Zhurong, who, facing this counterattack, did not dare to be careless and pushed his own power to the limit.
Yet against absolute power, he still found it hard to withstand.
His figure flew backward like a kite with its string cut.
And he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"What a powerful spiritual treasure!"
Dijiang's pupils contracted at the sight.
He had thought the three treasures this man had brought out were all defensive in nature.
He never expected one of them to be a killing treasure!
The Twelve Ancestral Witches hadn't been in human form for long, and since they had all transformed at the same time, their combat strength was currently not far apart.
Since Zhurong couldn't withstand a single blow from that treasure, the same would hold true for the rest of them.
Fortunately, Zhurong seemed unharmed, merely injured.
For their Ancestral Witches' formidable physiques, this was hardly a serious wound.
"It seems this fellow's tricks are limited to this."
"He's certainly no match for us!"
Zhu Jiuyin spoke in a low voice, but no sooner had he finished than his figure was sent flying backward.
He, too, was knocked away by a single strike from the Reincarnation Seal.
Seeing this, the other Ancestral Witches grew even fiercer, all striking out to suppress Tongtian.
The result was that one by one, every Ancestral Witch was sent flying.
Yet after spitting blood, they directly activated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, and in moments, they were all lively and vigorous once more.
They charged back into the battle against Tongtian.
Such monstrous regenerative power filled Ao Li, watching from afar, with utter shock.
Monsters! What in the world were these twelve beings?
How could there be such terrifying physiques in heaven and earth?
In comparison, their Dragon Clan's vaunted physical bodies were utterly pathetic!
After all, the Dragon Clan's bodies couldn't withstand a single blow from a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
She could see clearly that Tongtian had no intention of holding back.
This was the full-force strike of a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, yet it couldn't directly kill these twelve beings.
Even Tongtian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This wasn't just a matter of how powerful the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill was; it was also closely tied to the origins of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
These fellows are all thick-skinned and tough-bodied, their physical forms simply terrifyingly powerful.
Truly worthy of being born from Father God's essence blood.
He had already gone all out, yet these guys, after tanking his full-force strike, recovered completely in no time.
"You're using three spiritual treasures at once."
"Your mana probably won't hold out much longer. When that time comes, that's when we win!"
Dijiang rejoined the battlefield for the second time, spotting Tongtian's weakness at a glance.
The other Ancestral Witches all showed delighted expressions upon hearing this.
If his opponent's mana was drained too much, he wouldn't be able to maintain the power of three spiritual treasures!
This was their perfect chance to counterattack!
Tongtian chuckled lightly. "True."
"But that depends on whether my mana can actually run out."
Aside from being a bit reckless, these fellows could still use their heads.
Unfortunately, mana depletion was a major problem for other Innate Great Beings.
For him, though, it was nothing at all.
He had an entire stream of Three Lights Divine Water in his hands. Even if he pushed three spiritual treasures continuously, or even more, it made little difference to him.
So Tongtian directly took out a drop of Three Lights Divine Water and quickly swallowed it.
The next moment, the light on the Reincarnation Seal blazed even more brilliantly.
Its power surpassed before!
Boom!
Another one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was sent flying directly.
Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches all wore grim expressions.
The battle had been going on for a while—how did this guy seem to be getting fiercer the more he fought?
Was he not worried at all about running out of mana?
"Charge!"
Dijiang gritted his teeth and roared. The recovered Ancestral Witches also struck again.
Tongtian had no intention of continuing this game with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
So he activated the Reincarnation Seal repeatedly.
Overwhelming power kept exploding through the void.
Only three of the Twelve Ancestral Witches were left tangled with him; the rest had all begun healing.
Among them, the worse-off ones like Zhurong and Gonggong were already on their third round of recovery.
Tongtian let Dijiang and the other two attack him relentlessly.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Zhurong and the other Ancestral Witches who were healing.
As a fellow Pangu Sect Disciple who had also cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, he could sense a unique Dao rhythm emanating from the Ancestral Witches.
Clearly, it came from the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill they were running.
In his eyes, the blood and qi of Zhurong and the others were recovering at an astonishing rate.
Their pale, heavily wounded faces were fully restored in just moments.
[You carefully observe the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race operating the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, gain insight, and successfully comprehend the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill!]
Suddenly, a prompt sounded in his ears.
This sent Tongtian into a frenzy of joy.
Why had he been brawling with the Twelve Ancestral Witches?
Wasn't it precisely for the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill they inherited!
It truly came without any effort.
It also saved him from having to trade with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
This way, he had even more leverage in his hands.
His mind sank into the mysteries of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill.
Tongtian could feel his physical body growing once more.
This Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill was truly a specialized technique for training the body. If paired with the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill in cultivation, his physical form would reach a terrifying level.
At the same time, with both techniques gathered, he now had methods for training both the Primordial Spirit and the body.
All he had to do was cultivate both techniques to their peak.
Beneath the sage level, he could absolutely walk sideways!
If his progress were a bit faster, it probably wouldn't be long before he could catch up to innate demon gods like Hongjun.
Not to mention that Hongjun and the other innate demon gods were likely still somewhere comprehending the Dao and cultivating right now.
He had not merely taken the lead over other innate great beings.
He had completely left them all in the dust.
Even if Laozi and Yuanshi cultivated atop Kunlun for ten thousand years, they could never catch up to his advancement!
Having successfully mastered the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, Tongtian immediately activated it.
In an instant, astonishing changes began to unfold across heaven and earth.
