When Tongtian attempted to circulate the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill,
he could sense a mysterious transformation taking place within his physical body.
Most noticeably, he could now absorb the baleful aura that only the Twelve Ancestral Witches had originally been able to devour!
For a moment, the endless baleful aura split apart like branching rivers, with vast amounts pouring onto Tongtian.
His body devoured the baleful aura frantically.
This immediately made him feel his physical body steadily growing stronger.
"Simply devouring baleful aura can strengthen the body."
"It truly is miraculous!"
Tongtian smiled. This Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill was truly too powerful!
This meant his physical body could improve at every moment.
Combined with the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, surpassing the Twelve Ancestral Witches was merely a matter of time.
At this moment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches stared blankly at the diverted baleful aura.
What was going on?
The baleful aura between heaven and earth could clearly only be devoured and absorbed by Ancestral Witches!
Why could this fellow do the same?
"What exactly is going on?"
"Could this fellow be like us?"
Zhurong could not figure it out and voiced the question.
Dijiang said gravely, "We are descendants of Father God. How could he possibly be the same as us?"
"It must be because his origins are unusual that he possesses such a method."
"Moreover, his physical body is not much weaker than ours. He truly can withstand tempering his body with baleful aura."
The other Ancestral Witches nodded in agreement at this explanation.
"Then should we still attack?"
Houtu asked.
Zhurong said furiously, "Does that even need asking?!"
"When have we ever suffered such a great loss? How can we let him off so easily?"
Gonggong also said without hesitation, "That's right."
"If we do not teach him a lesson, how can we still call ourselves descendants of Father God?"
Dijiang did not hesitate upon hearing this and said directly, "Then attack with all our strength and deal with him quickly."
"Otherwise, if his physical body improves further, dealing with him will only become more difficult."
The other Ancestral Witches all found this reasonable.
They might have been reckless, but they still knew how to think.
This fellow was far too strange. It would be best to deal with him as soon as possible.
Thus, Zhurong and Gonggong directly unleashed their own blood and vitality.
They displayed their Ancestral Witch True Bodies!
This was likewise a powerful method from their inherited legacy.
It could grant them incomparably great strength for a short time.
Rumble!
Once the Ancestral Witch True Bodies were displayed, Zhurong and Gonggong grew even larger.
Like two giants, they attacked Tongtian simultaneously.
Tongtian did not even spare them another glance.
The Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda trembled slightly, and vast amounts of yellow and black qi immediately condensed into a barrier.
The terrifying force of the two men, powerful enough to shake the void,
was completely blocked by the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.
That was not all. The Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda transformed into a ball of yellow light and soared into the sky.
In the next instant, vast power and majesty erupted from within it.
A phantom pagoda descended from the heavens, its terrifying might completely suppressing the towering forms of Zhurong and Gonggong.
Neither of them had even the slightest ability to resist.
Seeing this, Tongtian mercilessly sent the Reincarnation Seal crashing down.
The two Ancestral Witch True Bodies instantly shattered, and Zhurong and Gonggong suffered severe injuries once more.
They could only continue recovering from their wounds in a miserable state.
Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches looked even more grim.
Three spirit treasures of extraordinary power!
This fellow was truly too difficult to deal with!
If this continued, even if they used every method at their disposal, they likely would not be able to do anything to him.
Yet if they simply let it go, they definitely would not be able to swallow this insult.
After all, they had suffered such a massive loss at Tongtian's hands.
Feeling the growth of his physical strength, Tongtian was filled with excitement.
He now did not want the Twelve Ancestral Witches to stop either.
He intended to use the Twelve Ancestral Witches as sparring partners for his body, using their powerful physiques to temper his own.
Thus, with the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda above his head,
Tongtian took the initiative and charged directly at Dijiang.
Dijiang's face filled with fury at the sight.
Did this fellow think he was easy to bully?
This was simply going too far!
Did he really think he could do whatever he wanted just because he had spirit treasures?!
In the next moment, their physical bodies collided, and a thunderous roar immediately exploded through the void.
This time, Tongtian still retreated several steps.
But compared to before, it was obvious that his physical strength had increased greatly.
This made his gaze grow even brighter.
Without hesitation, he urged, "Send a few more!"
Hearing such provocation, the other Ancestral Witches immediately howled and charged forward.
Tongtian once again fell into their combined assault.
Under the greatly increased pressure, Tongtian devoured the nearby baleful aura much faster.
This caused his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill to surge rapidly.
First Revolution of the Primordial Skill!
Second Revolution of the Primordial Skill!
Third Revolution of the Primordial Skill!
In an instant, Tongtian's Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill had broken through to the Third Revolution!
This multiplied the strength of his physical body.
Even without the protection of the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda and the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, he could fight the Twelve Ancestral Witches with his body alone.
Of course, because they were employing a group assault,
although his physical body was now no weaker than an Ancestral Witch's, he still could not withstand them all.
Yet the Twelve Ancestral Witches could feel the pressure on them growing greater.
Their opponent no longer even needed to activate his spirit treasures or unleash a full-powered strike.
His physical strength alone was enough to inflict severe injuries upon them.
For a time, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were all beaten until they coughed up blood.
They were already completely unable to contend with Tongtian.
The battlefield had long since become utterly one-sided.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were not afraid of death, but they truly could not endure being crushed like this by Tongtian.
In truth, Tongtian had long noticed the condition of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Knowing they could not hold on much longer, he had already been holding back.
Otherwise, if he went all out, several of the Twelve Ancestral Witches would likely already have been killed or seriously wounded.
"We truly are no match for you."
"Stop!"
"You have no intent to kill us. Who exactly are you?"
Seeing his brothers in such a miserable state, Dijiang took the initiative to call for a truce.
The other Ancestral Witches remained silent.
They truly were no match for the man before them.
They were all battle-loving, but they were not people who could not accept defeat.
Tongtian still felt unsatisfied. His Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill had already reached the Fifth Revolution.
His physical body was comparable to an Acquired Treasure!
Even an ordinary gesture possessed astonishing destructive force.
The power of blood and vitality within him flowed continuously, like an ever-rushing river.
If the battle could continue, he felt that his Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill could improve even further.
Unfortunately, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were clearly finished and could no longer endure.
He could not exactly force them to keep fighting.
After all, he had not come to kill the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"I am Shangqing Tongtian, a Pangu Sect Disciple."
Tongtian did not hesitate to reveal his origins.
Upon hearing this, Dijiang and the others were filled with shock.
During this period, Tongtian's reputation had already spread throughout the Primordial World.
Naturally, they had heard of him.
They simply had not expected their meeting to occur under such awkward circumstances.
"So it was you!"
"No wonder you possess a physical body no weaker than ours. It turns out we are family."
Dijiang spoke with a complicated expression.
The other Ancestral Witches likewise felt as though a flood had washed into the Dragon King's Temple.
They were all Pangu Sect Disciples, so there was certainly no need for a battle to the death.
They could be said to share the same origin, all having come from the transformation of Father God Pangu.
"I was wondering why you had such an advantage, yet did not kill us."
"So that was the reason."
Zhu Jiuyin said in surprise.
The other Ancestral Witches nodded repeatedly. They had long been unable to keep up.
If Tongtian had wanted to kill them, it certainly would not have been difficult with his methods.
Tongtian waved his hand. "We are all Pangu Sect Disciples."
"Naturally, I would not kill you."
"In truth, I sensed your auras, which was why I observed you from the shadows."
Zhurong said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was too rash in this matter."
"If I had asked first instead of hastily attacking, we would not have fought."
Dijiang also coughed lightly. "This matter was indeed the fault of us brothers."
"Please, fellow Daoist, you must accept our apology."
They had acted recklessly and had even ganged up on a single opponent.
Anyone else would likely have flown into a rage.
Yet Tongtian had shown them restraint and had not tried to kill them.
This made the Twelve Ancestral Witches feel rather ashamed.
Tongtian smiled. "No matter!"
"This battle was very enjoyable."
He was not merely being polite; he was speaking the truth.
If the Twelve Ancestral Witches had not fought him, he would likely have needed to find a way to obtain the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill from them.
Not to mention the tremendous improvement in his own Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill.
These were all immense gains.
"Since fellow Daoist came here seeking us,"
"Could it be that you need our help with something?"
Dijiang took the initiative to ask at this moment.
Tongtian nodded. "That is correct!"
"I searched at the foot of Buzhou Mountain for a long time. If I had not happened to encounter you devouring baleful aura,"
"I fear I would have returned empty-handed."
Dijiang sighed softly. "The Qilin Clan is now immensely powerful, and none of us wishes to clash with them."
"Thus, we have not gone near Buzhou Mountain."
"Since you have business with us, fellow Daoist, why not come to our Ancestral Witch Palace and talk?"
Tongtian naturally did not refuse. He beckoned, signaling that Ao Li could come closer.
Ao Li had watched the entire battle clearly from afar, and she was deeply moved.
This guy's physical body has become even stronger.
I'm afraid I'll never be able to return to the Dragon Clan.
"Could this be the Dragon Clan's eldest princess?"
Houtu asked with an odd expression.
The other Ancestral Witches wore equally intriguing expressions.
Rumor had it that Tongtian had not only wounded Torch Dragon, but had also taken the Dragon Clan's eldest princess right before his eyes.
For that courage alone, Tongtian had earned the Ancestral Witches' respect.
Ao Li said nothing and silently followed behind Tongtian.
As they walked and talked, an enormous, ancient hall soon appeared before Tongtian.
"We built this Ancestral Witch Palace with our own hands."
"None but those with Pangu's bloodline may enter."
Dijiang spoke with a solemn expression.
Within the Witch Race, only the Twelve Ancestral Witches could enter and leave it freely.
Although the other clansmen were also considered Pangu's descendants, they could not compare to the twelve of them.
Tongtian smiled lightly. "One can tell from its appearance alone that this Ancestral Witch Palace is extraordinary."
However, he was more interested in what lay inside.
What the Twelve Ancestral Witches had inherited was far more than what the Three Pure Ones possessed.
Perhaps some sort of surprise was hidden within the Ancestral Witch Palace.
As for Dijiang's words, they were undoubtedly meant to test his origins.
He had no need to explain. As long as he could enter the Ancestral Witch Palace, he could prove his identity as a Pangu Sect Disciple.
"You should wait outside."
"You definitely won't be able to enter."
After saying this to Ao Li, Tongtian strode toward the Ancestral Witch Palace.
The gates of the Ancestral Witch Palace were exceptionally tall. The moment Tongtian stepped through them, he felt an incomparably heavy Pangu's Pressure.
This Pangu's Pressure was not the least bit weaker than that atop Buzhou Mountain!
If one was not a Pangu Sect Disciple, then even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal could not force their way inside.
Seeing Tongtian enter, Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches exchanged glances, their expressions relaxing considerably.
It seemed that the other party had not deceived them. He truly was a Pangu Sect Disciple!
The Ancestral Witches then followed him inside.
Tongtian was now examining the interior of the Ancestral Witch Palace.
The twelve seats had clearly been prepared for the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Yet what truly drew his gaze was the enormous Blood Pool at the very center.
The aura emanating from the Blood Pool gave Tongtian a sense of closeness.
His eyes lit up as he asked, "Could this be a Blood Pool formed from Father God's blood?"
Dijiang nodded. "That's right!"
"However, it does not contain Father God's essence blood."
"It is merely ordinary blood."
Tongtian nodded slightly. If it had been Pangu's essence blood, the Ancestral Witch Palace would have long since been flooded with boundless vital energy and blood.
Even so, this ordinary Blood Pool still had tremendous uses.
"You placed the Blood Pool within the Ancestral Witch Palace. Could it be that you intend to use it to give birth to new clansmen?"
Tongtian asked, his expression speculative.
Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches were all astonished.
That was indeed what they had planned.
"Fellow Daoist, your insight is truly keen."
"We have long wanted to do this, but have yet to put it into practice."
Dijiang said in a deep voice.
They had not expected Tongtian to guess even this.
It seemed that his understanding of the Blood Pool was no less than theirs.
Tongtian nodded. "This is a very good idea."
"Since you have not yet begun, could you let me use it first?"
Though it was not a Blood Pool formed from Pangu's essence blood, it was still Pangu's blood!
The Three Pure Ones had all been transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit.
Yet their physical bodies had not been as fortunate as those of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who had been cleansed by Pangu's blood.
Therefore, Tongtian wanted to borrow this Blood Pool to cleanse his physical body.
"Uh, of course!"
"However, this is not Father God's essence blood. It probably won't have much effect, will it?"
Dijiang asked with a puzzled expression.
The Ancestral Witches had been uniquely blessed by heaven because they had been transformed from Pangu's essence blood!
The effects of a Blood Pool formed from ordinary blood certainly could not compare.
Having received the Ancestral Witches' permission, Tongtian was overjoyed.
Dijiang was right. Its effects would certainly not be as great as Pangu's essence blood.
But it could definitely elevate his physical body once more!
Besides, he possessed heaven-defying comprehension. Even if his physical body did not improve, comprehending some powerful divine abilities would still be immensely beneficial.
No matter what, this was no small opportunity.
If cleansing his physical body allowed him to advance further, that would be even better.
He greatly envied the Ancestral Witch True Bodies possessed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Once unleashed, their strength could immediately surge severalfold.
If he could master it, it would be equivalent to gaining a powerful trump card.
Fighting above his rank would be no difficult matter.
If his current combat power increased severalfold, wouldn't that mean he would become outright invincible?
