The battle ended far too quickly!

I thought that with Venerable Jieyin being a Hun Yuan Sage and entering the Great Array of the Stars, even if he couldn't break it, at the very least... he could have stalled for a moment, right?

But I never expected this!

How much time has passed?

The battle has already concluded!

The majestic Sage's Dharma appearance, its mystic light dimmed, shattered inch by inch, scattering into a sky full of starlight.

Even his equipment was blasted apart and dropped!

Even...

The Sage's Dao Body had an arm severed!

Blood stained his magic robe!

A Sage bled in the primeval starry sky!

These scenes were truly shocking and terrifying!

All beings were in fear!

All Sages were shaken!

Although they knew beforehand that the Twelve Ancestor Witches' Great Array of the Stars possessed peerless offensive power, capable of shaking Hun Yuan.

But this was merely based on the Heavenly Dao's inherited memories.

After all, no one had ever truly witnessed the might of the Great Array of the Stars.

Now, having the fortune to see it, it truly lived up to its reputation!

First, it trapped and killed Jieyin and Zhunti, the Two Sages of the West. Then, the array's power wasn't weakened by even half; it grew even more intense.

And now, it has directly severed one of Sage Jieyin's arms!

This...

Is truly too terrifying!

Seeing this, the Grand Pure Sage, whose eyes were usually serene and indifferent, showed a trace of intense dread: "The Twelve Ancestor Witches' Great Array of the Stars is actually this terrifying! With the Wu clan wielding this killing array, they can slaughter Sages. Perhaps they can turn the tide and salvage the situation! Unless... unless my master intervenes, who among the Sages of heaven and earth would dare to clash with its might?"

After Yuanshi Tianzun's shock subsided, he saw Jieyin's pathetic state within the Great Array of the Stars, his Hun Yuan majesty completely gone. He couldn't help but mock: "Hmph, the Two Sages of the West have truly stumbled into a ditch this time. They wanted to flatter my master, but instead, they kicked a steel plate. This is their fate!"

"Hahahaha—refreshing! Truly refreshing! Well struck!! This is incredibly satisfying!!!"

Waves of wild laughter suddenly echoed from Jinao Island's Biyou Palace, reverberating throughout the heavens.

As a result, in the depths of that void, Zhunti, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Nuwa, suddenly turned pale, his pupils contracting in disbelief as he muttered: "Senior Brother..."

Glancing sideways.

Zhunti's eyes were filled with horror.

It was too tragic!

Although his own magic robe was stained with blood and his Hun Yuan aura was weak, and his situation was dire.

But!

Compared to Jieyin's predicament.

Zhunti felt a sliver of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, he was dragged into this fight by Nuwa!

By this twist of fate, he had narrowly escaped disaster.

Otherwise.

He, Zhunti, would have been the one taking a beating in the Great Array of the Stars!

That was close!

"This is bad! Speaking of which, Jieyin... is he too much of a waste? Why didn't he hold on longer? He was defeated so quickly, truly a waste!"

"Now that Jieyin has lost the advantage, if there are no other trump cards, once the Twelve Ancestor Witches are free to deal with our Demon clan, then... the destiny of my Heavenly Court will be extinguished!"

After Jieyin showed signs of decline, the most panicked in the entire scene were Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

The two Golden Crows instantly felt as if they had fallen into an abyss of a million fathoms, a chill running down their spines!

Could it be...

That the Demon clan's Heavenly Court was destined to perish?

"Jieyin, now, what will you do? Come kill me, can you even do it?!"

At the center of the Great Array of the Stars' formation core, Chen Xuan stood proudly in the universe, looking down on heaven and earth, exuding boundless heroism, his might swallowing up millions of miles like a tiger.

In his speech, that surging killing intent was not concealed in the slightest!

This posture...

Even Houtu herself would be afraid to see it!

He was truly afraid Chen Xuan would go mad and, in the next second, slaughter a Sage and strike down Jieyin!

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Maybe they just changed the name!

He immediately said with a trembling voice, "Senior, Jieyin the Sage has fallen to such a state, his reputation utterly ruined. Isn't this explanation enough? Furthermore, Wu cannot be resurrected after death. Why not just let him go... It's good enough as it is."

Houtu's concerns were not unreasonable.

Although the blood feud of the Wu clan could not be forgotten.

But after all...

No matter how pathetic Jieyin was, he was still a Hun Yuan Sage.

What's more, with the Wu-Demon tribulation imminent, it was truly not advisable to completely fall out with the West and reach a point of irreconcilable conflict with two Hun Yuan Sages.

If the Demon clan's Heavenly Court were to seize an opportunity from this, the losses would far outweigh the gains!

Chen Xuan, however, paid no mind to Houtu's suggestion.

The suggestion was sound.

But he wouldn't adopt it!

As the saying goes, all fear stems from insufficient firepower.

This was only the beginning.

Setting up the Great Array of the Stars was merely an appetizer.

And...

He hadn't even revealed all his trump cards yet!

"Houtu, you don't understand. With the shameless nature of those two bald thieves from the West, if we let Jieyin leave today, there will be endless trouble in the future!"

"If they dare to interfere with the Wu-Demon tribulation today, tomorrow they will dare to shit and piss on the Wu clan!"

"Therefore, this fellow... must not be allowed to live!"

Chen Xuan said with utmost seriousness.

After speaking, he vigorously activated the Pangu True Body and cleaved Jieyin with several more axes.

Causing his Hun Yuan Dao fruit to tremble incessantly.

The three flowers on his head dispersed and dimmed.

Inflicting further injury upon injury!

What?

Attaining enlightenment and becoming a Sage, a Hun Yuan Sage who is immortal, indestructible, and beyond all calamities?

At worst, I'll just chop him a few more times!

Until Jieyin is scared out of his wits!

Until he falls from his Sage position!

Seeing this, Houtu was rendered speechless, unsure how to refute Chen Xuan for the moment.

To be fair.

Chen Xuan's words were crude but not without reason. They sounded plausible!

However, Houtu just felt something was off.

"He's gone mad, these barbaric Wu clan members are absolutely insane! Do they want to kill this Saint?!! Madmen! A bunch of madmen!!"

"It's one thing not to respect the Heavenly Dao or the Sages, but now they even dare to harbor thoughts of—slaughtering a Sage?!! Hiss—"

Looking at Jieyin again, his heart was filled with panic, fear, and at the same time, extreme dejection.

Damn it, if he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!

He had intended to help Dao Ancestor Hongjun save face and gain favor.

And then, suppress the Wu clan's fortune and spread the prestige of the West.

Who would have thought.

He tried to outsmart others but ended up outsmarted himself.

He had even incurred the wrath of everyone, causing all beings in heaven and earth to curse the West, getting himself into a whole heap of trouble!

Regret, regret it all!

Now.

Regretful, but too late!

Damn it all!

"Jieyin, how dare you offend the Wu clan, desecrate the true descendants of Pangu! Your destiny is lost, perish—!!!"

As Jieyin was filled with remorse, a light shout suddenly echoed, startling him.

He felt a wave of despair and helplessness!

I want to cry but have no tears!

Although he had reached the realm of a Hun Yuan Sage, attained eternal immortality, and was indestructible through countless tribulations.

The Great Array of the Stars was incredibly powerful.

If this continued, even if his life wasn't in danger, he would be severely injured by the Pangu True Body, his origins damaged, and there was even a chance he could fall from his Sage position!

"Dao Ancestor, save me—!!!"

With no other options, Jieyin could only let out a booming voice, roaring and shouting frantically.

He's calling for backup! Jieyin is calling for backup!!

And the person he's calling for is none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

Not long after.

His cries for help pierced through the Outer Heavens of Chaos, echoing throughout the entire Zixiao Palace dojo.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's expression was utterly indifferent
