"Hongjun, come fight!!!"

This thunderous roar instantly exploded across the Primordial World.

All living beings were horrified.

All spirits trembled in fear.

At this moment, under Chen Xuan's control, the entire Witch Clan had been ignited!

Even against the Primordial World's foremost saint, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so long as they faced injustice, the Witch Clan dared overturn heaven and earth and shatter the Primordial World!

Such was the supreme, unyielding will inherited by the descendants of Pangu's True Lineage!

"Bold Houtu! You have defied a saint and disobeyed Dao Ancestor's decree, a crime deserving ten thousand deaths! And now you dare attack the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World?!"

"No, how could you possibly dare?!"

Though shocked beyond measure, Jieyin did not forget to fan the flames. He roared madly, even more agitated than Hongjun himself.

Yet Hongjun remained unmoved. His eyes narrowed into slits, gleaming with a cold light as though he were considering something.

Yes, he had nearly forgotten.

The Witch Clan had always disrespected the Heavenly Dao and held saints in no regard. They were known as the Primordial World's most reckless fools.

If he came at them hard, these Witch barbarians would surely find it difficult to accept.

Since that was the case.

He would try a softer approach!

"Ancestor Witch Houtu, calm yourself for the moment. Have you forgotten... that I once taught you the Dao? Do you truly disregard our old ties and intend to tear all pretense of friendship apart with me?"

Hongjun's tone remained cold, but his attitude had softened considerably.

He was practically coaxing and deceiving her now.

He had even begun playing the sentiment card!

The moment those words fell.

Jieyin hurriedly echoed him, condemning her bitterly. "Exactly! Do not forget that you were once one of the Three Thousand Zixiao Guests and received Dao Ancestor's grace! How dare you now betray your master and destroy your ancestors?! Houtu, you ungrateful white-eyed wolf!!"

Upon hearing this, all the Ancestor Witches froze and turned in unison toward their little sister, Houtu.

Hongjun had suddenly placed such an enormous accusation upon her. If it was not handled properly, Houtu's reputation might be ruined, becoming a major stain upon her life as a Witch.

Houtu herself was stunned upon hearing it.

Disrespecting her teacher and the Dao, even attempting to betray her master and destroy her ancestors—hiss, what an enormous charge!

But unexpectedly.

The moment Chen Xuan heard those words, he was so angry that he laughed.

Damn it, did that old bastard Hongjun think the Primordial World was some female-oriented romance novel?

He was actually pulling moral kidnapping here?

"Bullshit betrayal of master and destruction of ancestors! To hell with your so-called old ties!"

"Anyone who did not know better would think that I... cough, cough, that this old lady was raised on your milk, Hongjun! How utterly laughable!"

"Furthermore, back then, I did not hesitate to travel across endless distances to seek the Dao in the Outer Heavens of Chaos. I willingly endured three thousand years of loneliness in Zixiao Palace, all to seek a way for the Witch Clan to overcome our inability to cultivate Primordial Spirits. But what about you, Hongjun? You told me... that Zixiao Palace had no Dao the Witch Clan sought!"

"Could it be... that you have forgotten every last bit of that?"

"And now you are here pretending to be some great wolf? Pretending to be some great benevolent man? How utterly hypocritical!!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan acted as Houtu's mouthpiece. Righteous and imposing, he angrily rebuked Hongjun.

As he spoke, boundless Blood Qi and Slaughter Qi surged wildly. Their verbal clash already carried the force of thunderous destruction.

"..."

For a moment, Jieyin was rendered speechless.

Hongjun also wore a dark expression and remained silent, unable to offer any retort.

He could not refute a single word!

After pondering for a moment.

Hongjun slowly spoke, his voice cold. "Houtu, do you truly intend to defy my decree?"

With those words, he had issued his final ultimatum!

If the Witch Clan remained stubborn, they would fall into eternal damnation beyond redemption!

"So what if I defy your decree? I am defying your saintly decree, Hongjun! What are you going to do about it? What can you do about it?"

"Old Daoist Hongjun, you have yet to merge with the Dao. You are merely the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World, not the Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Dao! I am the future Ancestor of the Earthly Dao. My status is no lower than yours! Do not try to suppress me with your position!!!"

Chen the Rebuker had come online, unleashing a torrent of insults that left Hongjun speechless.

With a swish, Hongjun's face turned completely livid!

So what if he had not merged with the Dao yet? Why did she suddenly have to bring that up?

Damn it, that hit him right in the heart!

"You..."

Hongjun was speechless for a long while, wanting to continue.

But unexpectedly.

Chen Xuan could not even be bothered to listen anymore.

"Why so much nonsense? Acting all girly and hesitant—come fight!!"

Rumble—

With a furious roar.

Chaos churned. "Houtu" took the lead and shattered the void with a single step.

The other Ancestor Witches had also been stirred into high spirits and instantly ignited. Their fighting spirit soared, their Battle Qi swept through eternity. Standing atop the Ninth Heaven, they pushed the Great Array of the Stars to its utmost power.

At a glance, countless divine and demonic runes intertwined as blood-red slaughter energy rolled across the sky, drawing forth the residual power of creation. The Pangu True Body stood as majestic as an ancient divine mountain before suddenly swinging out an axe radiance tens of thousands of feet long.

The divine light of creation illuminated the primordial chaos, revealing the true essence of strength, foremost among the Three Thousand Laws. Filled with endless destruction and slaughter, it shot directly toward Hongjun's Dharma Body!

"⊙∀⊙!!!!"

This scene utterly terrified the saints of all heavens, and all living beings went weak in the knees and fell to the ground.

No one had expected...

Ancestor Witch Houtu to truly attack Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

This woman really dared to do it!

This woman was truly a fearless madwoman!

Even Hongjun's pupils contracted as shock and fury mingled within him.

These members of the Witch Clan truly would not yield to either soft or hard tactics!

Barbarians!

They were all a pack of barbarians!

After his shock, Hongjun quickly reacted and suddenly struck out with a powerful palm!

That palm contained the supreme might of a saint. It blotted out the sky and descended, immeasurable golden light instantly spreading across the heavens, obscuring the sun and moon. Countless Dao Laws gathered within that strike, making all heavens tremble as stars fell one after another.

The sky collapsed and the earth split apart!

Rumble! Rumble rumble!!

The two terrifying attacks collided fiercely, like two ancient chaotic stars crashing together, unleashing wave after wave of horrifying shockwaves.

Wherever they passed, the ancient starry sky dimmed, hundreds of millions of ancient stars turned to dust, billions of miles of mountains and rivers across the Primordial World shattered, and countless plants bent and broke!

It was utterly terrifying!

"Crack—"

As All Heavens and Myriad Spirits trembled in terror, a muffled sound like Kunlun jade shattering suddenly echoed through heaven and earth in the next instant.

It was crisp and piercing.

Countless gazes immediately focused on it.

Their eyes widened in disbelief!

At a glance.

They saw the Pangu True Body cleave through Chaos with its axe, carrying the lingering might of creation as it viciously struck Hongjun's heaven-covering hand.

A shocking crack suddenly appeared!

Then, spreading from point to surface, it rapidly crawled across the entire towering Dharma Body like a spiderweb.

After only one exchange.

The clear radiance of the Dao Ancestor's Dharma Body scattered, and countless Dao Law runes shattered inch by inch. With a boom, it finally broke into streams of light that filled the sky, while golden radiance scattered in all directions, instantly illuminating the destruction of countless billions of miles of starry heavens!

"Hiss—it's broken! Dao Ancestor's Dharma Body actually shattered! ⊙∀⊙!"

"This... this... how is that possible?!!"

"It is over. Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun cannot shake the edge of the Dutian God-Demon Array? The Demon Clan's Heavenly Court is in grave danger now!"

"Does Heaven truly intend to destroy our Demon Clan? I refuse to accept this!!"

"..."

Jieyin was horrified.

The saints were stunned.

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's voices trembled.

The eyes of all heaven and earth's living beings were filled with terror!

This scene was far too shocking!

It was simply unbelievable and inconceivable!!

"At the end of the Great Dao, who stands atop the peak? Before Pangu, all Dao becomes empty!"

"The Dharma Body of the Heavenly Dao's foremost saint is nothing more than this!"

Hongjun's Dharma form shattered with a thunderous crash, and vast starlight poured down like a galaxy. Yet Chen Xuan stood proudly amid the countless falling rays, his hands clasped behind his back. His robes fluttered, his long hair danced wildly like a waterfall, and he looked down upon all heavens and worlds like an unparalleled god-demon!

He raised his eyes and swept his gaze over the trembling heavens, his tone calm yet overflowing with dominance!

He carried the air of one who stood alone above all others!

Who else!!!
