Tongtian Broke Through, Faced a Difficult Choice, and Finally Reached the Witch-Demon Battlefield!

They were calling for reinforcements!

Taiqing and Yuanshi had begun calling for help!

Watching the battle below, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had been tangled in knots just moments ago because The Two Qing could not withstand the power of the Dutian God-Demon Array. Now, their moods suddenly brightened, and both raised their brows, delight written across their faces.

"Sect Master Tongtian? Of course! Shangqing Tongtian was once bestowed the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying and the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram by the Dao Ancestor. He can set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and stand against the Dutian God-Demon Array!"

Before Tongtian had even arrived, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was already looking forward to it, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

"Tai Yi, you are mistaken. Do not underestimate the power of the greatest killing formation beneath the Heavenly Dao. It is said that the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram was formed from the Chaos fetal membrane and complements the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying. Once the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is deployed, it can command the Heavenly Dao's slaughter. Its power is unprecedented throughout the ages. When that time comes... the Dutian God-Demon Array can be broken, and the Witch Clan will lose its only trump card for wreaking havoc. They will perish!"

Then Di Jun switched into know-it-all mode and hurriedly corrected him with an explanation.

He possessed the Companion Spirit Treasure, the River Diagram and Luo Book, which allowed him to deduce heavenly secrets and learn many hidden truths of the Primordial World. His understanding of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation ran far deeper.

Every word he spoke was filled with fear of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

After saying that, he too began to look forward to it, his heart surging with exhilaration and wild joy.

"So that's how it is. If so, then... the Witch Clan is absolutely finished this time!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi became even more excited after hearing this.

Meanwhile.

Inside Biying Palace on Jinao Island.

Silence reigned.

After receiving the urgent transmission from his two elder brothers, Tongtian did not act for a long while.

He gazed toward the Witch Clan battlefield, his brows tightly furrowed and a troubled expression on his face. He seemed caught in hesitation, sinking into an inner struggle.

Leaving aside the fact that the Jie Sect had never had any grudges or conflicts with the Witch Clan, let alone hostility.

Ancestor Witch Houtu, with her insignificant body like that of an ant and her weak light like that of a firefly, had nevertheless dared to defy fate, contend with Heaven, rebel against the Dao Ancestor's unjust decree, and overpower the saints of all heavens!

That unyielding pride and supreme indomitable will alone were enough to earn Tongtian's solemn respect.

"Of the fifty, the Great Dao gives rise to forty-nine fixed destinies, while one escapes. Ancestor Witch Houtu seeks only to seize a sliver of life for the Witch Clan. Is that not precisely like the Jie Sect's creed of acting against the tide and seizing that one chance from Heaven?"

"If I go, I will betray my heart. If I do not... I will defy my master's orders and leave my brothers in peril. This..."

Perhaps out of respect for Ancestor Witch Houtu, or perhaps because he cherished the rare meeting of a kindred spirit, Tongtian had fallen into a difficult dilemma.

One had to know.

He wielded the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying and commanded the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram. Once he set it up, the Witch Clan... would likely be doomed!

When that time came, not only would all beings of the Witch Clan fall into eternal damnation.

Even Houtu...

Would sink forever into the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

Tongtian truly could not bear it!

"Tongtian, what are you waiting for?! Stop dithering! Are you going to stand there and watch us suffer calamity, letting these ants trample the dignity of saints as they please?!! What exactly are your intentions?!!!"

Seeing that Tongtian had made no move after so long, Yuanshi Tianzun flew into a rage. He immediately put on the airs of an elder brother and sternly rebuked him.

In his eyes, suffering calamity was a minor matter. Having a saint's dignity dragged through the mud was the truly serious matter!

Especially when the ones trampling upon a saint's majesty in public were ants and dust, lowly as the mud beneath the earth?

That was more unbearable to him than death itself!

However...

Yuanshi's words completely enraged Chen Xuan!

This damn Yuanshi truly was exactly as Chen Xuan had imagined him to be!

Hypocritical, arrogant, conceited, disdainful of others, and utterly lawless!

Today, Chen Xuan swore he would shatter all of it!

"Yuanshi, what the hell are you barking about?! From the beginning until now, it has been 'lowly ants' this and 'lowly ants' that. I've put up with you for a long time!!"

Before long, bursts of majestic, thunderous voices exploded across the vast primordial starry sky—

"Even if I am but a speck of dust, today I will stir up this endless galaxy and overturn this Primordial World ruled by saints!"

"Do not mock my life as worthless as grass. Today, I will punch a hole through the heavens!"

"Even if I am merely an ant, I will still spread my wings and make Heaven and Earth hear my voice!!!"

"Does the Witch Clan deserve from birth to be plotted against by you saints? To be humiliated and bullied at your whim? My fate is mine, not Heaven's! To hell with this damn destiny!!!"

"Yuanshi, take my life—!!!"

Those resounding words struck the heartstrings of all beings between Heaven and Earth.

If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!

The rolling thunderous voices battered the Dao hearts of the immortals and demons filling the sky.

Like raging waves and roaring seas, they rose and fell without end, never ceasing!

Everyone who heard them was left deafened and shaken!

And filled with solemn respect!

Once Chen Xuan's voice fell.

In an instant.

The Dutian God-Demon Array displayed its divine might. Blood mist filled the sky and churned like hell itself, while boundless pressure enveloped the universe and swept toward Yuanshi like a tidal wave. The radiance of the Pangu Banner dimmed sharply once more. Only muffled groans could be heard echoing without end as Heavenly Venerable's robes became stained with blood, and he staggered backward again and again.

While one matter unfolded, another was happening elsewhere.

Almost at the same time.

Houtu's cries suddenly pierced through layer upon layer of space and resounded across all of Jinao Island.

They exploded like thunder within Tongtian's sea of consciousness!

And at that very moment.

Mysterious Dao rhythms swirled around him, and in an instant, he entered an incomparably profound state of enlightenment.

Crack!

Before long, a dull sound like shattered glass suddenly echoed from the world within his body.

It was as though some shackle or restraint had been broken in an instant!

Immediately afterward, his cultivation began soaring wildly like a rising tide. Pure qi coiled around his body as he attained enlightenment and broke through, reaching the Fourth Heaven of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal!!!

"This..."

"Tongtian actually broke through at a time like this!?"

"This is wonderful! With this, our chances of breaking the formation have increased by several points!"

"The Witch Clan is really finished this time! Hahahaha—"

"..."

Vast Hunyuan qi instantly swept across the heavens of the Primordial World. The Two Qing were astonished, the two Golden Crows were thrilled, and the saints were shocked. Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun found it rather unexpected.

Only Tongtian stood dazed for a brief moment. Then, rather than feeling the joy of a breakthrough as expected, he gave a bitter smile, his heart instead filled with even deeper conflict.

There was no other reason.

He knew that Houtu's impassioned words, along with that supreme indomitable will, had become the opportunity for his enlightenment and breakthrough.

And this debt of karma and gratitude weighed as heavily as Mount Tai, impossible to repay!

If he were to attack the Witch Clan now, would that not be repaying kindness with enmity?

But...

If he did not act, his two elder brothers would soon be in grave danger. Where, then, would the bond shared by the Three Pure Ones be placed?

"Tongtian, what are you still waiting for? Do you want your elder brother to die?!!"

"Third Brother, if you do not act now, when will you?!"

Within the Dutian God-Demon Array, the Taiji Diagram, the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, the Pangu Banner... numerous treasures were on the verge of collapse. Taiqing and Yuanshi's urging continued without pause.

Every single word pierced Tongtian's heart.

It was truly too difficult to choose!

"Rebellious disciple, why have you not hurried to the Witch-Demon battlefield to save your two elder brothers and suppress the Witch Clan, restoring order from chaos?"

Suddenly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's ethereal voice of the Dao came from the Chaos Purple Sky Palace.

Upon hearing this.

Though Tongtian was unwilling in every possible way, helplessness ultimately forced him to make the difficult choice.

His master's command was as heavy as a mountain. How could he defy it?

And how could he disregard the bond among the Three Pure Ones?

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, I am sorry. I am truly sorry!"

Casting aside his tangled thoughts.

On Jinao Island, waves surged and crashing breakers struck the shore. A Daoist in green robes let out a faint sigh. His feet seemed filled with lead as he took that step with extreme reluctance!

Rumble—
