Since There's Nowhere Left to Retreat, Let's Face Death and Live! Requesting Battle Against Sanqing!!

"Splash—"

In an instant.

Infinite primordial pressure poured down like a vast ocean, carrying sky-shattering sword energy that charged into the heavens, a rainbow piercing the sun, breaking through clouds and mist.

A swordsman in a green robe suddenly stood at the pinnacle of the ancient starry sky, descending upon the Wu and Demon battlefield, his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes looking down upon everything.

This caused all spirits to bow their heads and shook heaven and earth.

He has arrived, he has arrived, Tongtian has arrived with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!

The two Golden Crows' eyes shone brightly, filled with intense heat, and they still shouted, "The Wu clan is finished!"

Countless members of the Demon clan were also overjoyed, feeling immensely relieved!

On the other hand, the Wu clan, from top to bottom, was instantly enveloped by a heavy, oppressive atmosphere, a suffocating sensation washing over them, and everyone fell silent.

Some wore solemn expressions, their faces filled with sorrow.

Others wept mournfully.

"Senior Brother Tongtian..."

On the chaotic void battlefield, Nuwa, who was entangled in a fight with Zhunti, frowned slightly, her expression quite complex.

This was because she knew that Tongtian had been ordered to bring the foremost killing formation under the Heavenly Dao, and this time... the Wu clan might be beyond saving!

Danger!

Although Nuwa was a great sage of the Demon clan and the Empress Wa of the Heavenly Court, her stance was diametrically opposed to that of the Wu clan.

However, the Dao Ancestor had decreed that the Sages of the Xuanmen should attack the Wu clan. Instead, she, under the guise of seeking karma from the punishment, was locked in an intense battle with Zhunti in the chaos. Her not intervening in the Wu-Demon conflict was already the greatest respect she could show to Ancestor Witch Houtu!

But what about Tongtian?

He truly couldn't defy his master's orders!

Helpless!

"Tongtian, why are you only arriving now? Why didn't you wait until I was dead before coming! You're always so slow with things..."

As Tongtian rushed to the Wu-Demon battlefield, Taiqing's expression suddenly sharpened. He felt as if he had grasped a straw of hope, and a flicker of joy flashed in his eyes.

But upon examining Tongtian and realizing that the other had indeed already broken through to the Primordial Grand Unity Fourth Layer before him, he felt an immediate imbalance.

He immediately complained, his tone sharp and sarcastic.

Taiqing Laozi, upon hearing this, also felt a mix of emotions, finding it quite unpleasant.

Among the Pangu Sanqing, Tongtian was clearly the youngest!

Why?

Why was it so!

Tongtian, however, paid no attention to any of this.

The first thing he did upon descending upon the Wu-Demon battlefield was to cast a complex gaze in Houtu's direction.

Then...

He bowed, clasped his fists, and performed a salute.

He respectfully said, "Thank you, Daoist Houtu, for helping me comprehend the Dao and break through. I, Tongtian... owe the Wu clan a favor and karma. However, I can only repay it when the opportunity arises in the future."

"Today, I cannot defy my master's orders, and the bonds of brotherhood among the Sanqing compel me to intrude. Therefore... if I have offended you, I hope you can understand."

Boom!

As these words were spoken.

The entire scene instantly fell silent!

Taiqing, Yuanshi, the two Golden Crows... and so on, were all dumbfounded, feeling utterly astonished.

Stunned!

They were all stunned!

What?

The reason Tongtian broke through to the Primordial Fourth Layer was all thanks to... that fierce bitch—Houtu!?

This...

How is this possible?!!

This woman is merely a Quasi-Saint, just an ant!

Where did she get such great ability to help a Sage comprehend the Dao and break through?

Hiss—

It's simply inconceivable!

"Helped a Primordial Sage comprehend the Dao and break through!? Senior, when did you... that's amazing!"

Houtu's true form was inexplicably on the receiving end of Tongtian's bow. She felt flattered and bewildered. Although confused, her adoration for Chen Xuan grew even stronger, to the point of complete prostration.

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment after Tongtian's bow, then understood and simply nodded in response.

He knew that what he was doing today aligned with the teachings of the Jie Sect that Tongtian advocated. Thus, it was only natural for Tongtian to achieve enlightenment and break through his cultivation based on this.

He also knew that Tongtian's visit was out of necessity, due to their differing positions.

After a long pause, Chen Xuan couldn't help but blurt out, sighing softly, "Tongtian, is today's Wu clan not also the future of the Jie Sect? It's all about timing, luck, and destiny!"

Today's Wu clan is the future Jie Sect!?

Clang!

Hearing this, Tongtian's Dao Heart trembled. As he looked at "Houtu," besides respect and admiration, a sense of mystery and curiosity was now added to his gaze.

At the same time, his respect grew even deeper!

Tongtian's words held the profound mysteries of the universe. Even he, a Primordial Grand Unity Sage, could not comprehend them fully at the moment!

This Ancestor Witch Houtu...

Truly divine!

However, despite his respect and curiosity, Tongtian, due to his position, still offered a friendly reminder: "Fellow Daoist Houtu, the conflict between the Wu and Demon clans is the great trend of the Primordial Desolation, and it cannot be defied. If you stop now, lead the Wu clan back to the Heavenly Court, and transform into Reincarnation to prove your Dao and become a Sage, I can still plead with my master Hongjun to show leniency to the Wu clan. Otherwise, once the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is deployed, it will be a fight to the death."

It was clear that Tongtian genuinely did not want to fall out with the Wu clan!

In such a situation, how could Taiqing Laozi, whose demeanor was always that of a master of pretense, not show off his magnanimity?

"Precisely, Ancestor Witch Houtu, do not be misguided any further. If you are willing to pull back from the brink and turn back, I can also pretend that nothing has happened."

Just then, Taiqing Laozi, in order to conceal his scheme against the human race and also to avoid getting entangled in the immense danger of the Dutian God-Demon Array clashing with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, immediately chimed in.

His words were high-sounding and grand, truly showcasing his broad perspective!

Seeing this.

The two Golden Crows and the Demon Court faction tensed up once more, their hearts filled with anxiety.

Was this another negotiation, a plan for both sides to back down and compromise?

If that were the case, wouldn't the Wu clan be saved?

Absolutely not!

On the other hand, the Ancestor Witches all looked at Houtu in unison, handing the choice back to her.

"Senior, what do you think... The Sanqing are willing to compromise. Perhaps we should reason with them?"

Houtu suddenly said meekly, seeking Chen Xuan's guidance.

She was acutely aware that Tongtian wielded the foremost killing formation under the Heavenly Dao, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Just as Tongtian had kindly advised, if the Dutian God-Demon Array and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation clashed, everything would descend into an unknowable, immense crisis.

At that time...

Whether it was the Wu and Demon clans.

Or all the myriad races and beings of the Primordial Desolation.

All would suffer immensely!

It was even possible that the entire Primordial Desolation would shatter and revert to chaos!

Chen Xuan understood the meaning behind Houtu's words.

It was nothing more than a plea for him to stop.

No, this silly girl...

Why is she always so innocent and pure!

Should I call her kind and naive?

Or busty and brainless?

Stop?

What a joke!

I'm just getting started, I'm in the zone, and haven't had enough yet! Stopping is impossible!

"Reason? Haven't I always been reasoning?"

"Houtu, do you think the Wu clan still has a way out at this point?"

"Let me put it this way, as you've seen, the Wu clan has already attacked the Heavenly Court twice and is about to annihilate the Demon clan, but what's the result?"

"Know this, if we retreat now, we'll be facing a bottomless abyss, a Chaos Purgatory, and eternal damnation!"

"Do you want to embody Reincarnation and watch as billions of Wu clan members are reduced to less than one in ten, barely surviving and never able to rise again?"

After Chen Xuan finished speaking.

Houtu remained silent, lost in thought.

After a long, long time.

Her lips parted slightly, and she slowly said, "Senior, according to you, does that mean... the Wu clan truly has no way out? No chance of survival at all?"

"Yes! Of course, there is!"

"Since the Heavenly Dao is unfeeling, and the Sages are unjust, treating all things in heaven and earth as straw dogs, plotting and scheming against the Wu clan, suppressing the Underworld Path, the end result is the transformation into Reincarnation anyway. The Wu clan will lose more than ninety percent of its members; death is inevitable no matter what. It's better to draw my sword and charge forward, facing death to be reborn, to overturn these Sages of the heavens, and to shatter this unjust Heavenly Dao!!"

As the words ended.

A resolute determination suddenly appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes, and a surge of anger rose to the heavens.

He took a step forward, pointing directly at the Sanqing.

Without humility or arrogance, he roared, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, do not try to persuade me further. Taiqing Laozi, you don't need to put on a show here. Even if the Wu clan compromises today, will the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun truly give the Wu clan a way out?"

As these words were spoken.

Laozi was immediately choked with anger, puffing out his beard and glaring.

Tongtian remained silent.

Hongjun...

His eyes narrowed, concealing killing intent!

The calamity of the Wu and Demon clans, leading to the annihilation and downfall of both races, was the grand trend of the Primordial Desolation!

Therefore, where could the Wu clan possibly find a path to survival?

"Since the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun offer no way out for the Wu clan, then today, I shall use my body to shake the Heavenly Dao!"

"I shall use my soul to forge the blazing heat!"

"I shall use my blood to stain the azure sky!"

"I shall use my life to defy the heavens!"

"Words are useless, Sanqing, come and fight—!!!"

Before long, another colossal wave of sound, like a mountain's roar and the sea's surge, swept through the heavens, shaking the Primordial Desolation.

It was deafening!

Boom! Boom boom!!

Oh no, Senior Chen Xuan is putting on a show again!

Help—
