The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the Dutian God-Demon Array, two primordial-level killing formations, are terrifying to the extreme. If they were to clash head-on, the current Wu and Demon Calamity would inevitably escalate, evolving into an immeasurable Calamity!

At that time, even the high and mighty Hun Yuan Sages would not be able to withstand the backlash of such immense Karma and great karmic debt!

However.

Chen Xuan harbored a will to die, having long cast aside life and death.

As always... decisive and ruthless!

Just charge!

"Sister Houtu, I know what you want to say, but it's too late to regret it now."

"Things have come to this point, and we can't stop the car!"

Chen Xuan said.

But Houtu had her own thoughts.

From the beginning until now.

Chen Xuan's methods had been too radical, too insane. She truly feared that one day...

This senior would mess up and crash!

She was genuinely afraid!

Furthermore...

As her thoughts churned.

Houtu cast her gaze again at the Ancestor Witches struggling within the great formation.

She looked down at the countless sorrowful cries and weeping Wu clan elders, women, children, and infants on the Primordial Desolation land.

And at the countless Wu clan warriors still fighting in blood on the front lines.

Her heartstrings inexplicably trembled!

She was not someone who clung to life and feared death.

What was there to fear in death?

What was there to mind about death?

It was just that she had attachments in her heart and truly couldn't bear to watch more of her brothers and clansmen die innocently one after another!

She could die, and she could abandon her Ancestor Witch physical form to evolve into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

But she only wanted to preserve the last ember of the Wu clan!

Was there anything wrong with that?

The proposal of the Demons ruling the heavens and the Wu clan governing the earth, though unfair, could at least...

Allow the Wu clan to continue for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years!

But if they continued to clash head-on and escalate to an immeasurable Calamity, the Wu clan would be completely annihilated in an instant!

She couldn't bear it, she truly couldn't bear it!

Chen Xuan saw through Houtu's concerns at a glance and understood her completely.

But...

Things had come to this point, and there was no room for retreat!

As his thoughts drifted, Chen Xuan then pointed to the Ancestor Witches in the formation and the countless Wu clan beings in the Wu clan ancestral land, and continued, "The same words still apply: whether there is a great calamity or not, whether the Calamity escalates or not, in the end, all twelve Ancestor Witches will perish, and billions of Wu clan members will be annihilated!"

"Since there is no room for retreat, then... I am willing to fight alongside the Wu clan to the end, preferring to die in battle than to live on in ignominy, wasting a short period of time!"

"Furthermore, 'a single punch opens the way, preventing a hundred punches,' even if it means dying to make a statement, we must let all the Sages in the heavens know that the Wu clan is not to be trifled with!"

"Those who offend my Wu clan will surely be punished!"

"Now, the great Wu and Demon Calamity has arrived. The Wu clan is in ruins and needs to rebuild. We can rise from ruin, transcend through slaughter, break and then stand, and find a way to survive from a desperate situation!"

"Houtu, do you understand me?"

Chen Xuan's words were pearls of wisdom, each sentence filled with passionate fervor, all spoken from the bottom of his heart.

His voice was like the booming of great bells, a melodious Dao sound, exploding in Houtu's ears.

It made her head buzz!

"Rise from ruin, transcend through slaughter!? Break and then stand!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu felt as if she had been struck by enlightenment, her mind suddenly cleared.

Yes, those who offend our Wu clan will be punished, no matter how far away they are!

Even the Sages, who always considered themselves superior, could not arbitrarily insult and bully the Wu clan!

Preferring to die in battle than to live on in ignoble survival!

This, this is the unyielding will of Pangu!

After understanding, a determined glint flashed in Houtu's eyes, and she immediately looked ashamed.

She, who was one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches of the Wu clan and a direct descendant of Pangu, should have upheld an unparalleled spirit of defiance, fighting against heaven and earth without fear.

But now, she realized she was not even as enlightened as Chen Xuan, an outsider.

Truly, she was deeply ashamed!

She felt she had let down Senior Chen Xuan's earnest efforts.

And she had let down the Ancestor Gods!

"Senior Chen Xuan, Houtu knows she was wrong!"

"I was foolish and didn't understand your earnest intentions!"

"But now, I understand! I finally get it!"

Having figured it out, Houtu nodded repeatedly in response to Chen Xuan, acting as obedient as a chick pecking for grain.

Perhaps she was too invested, too emotional, or perhaps in the depths of her feelings, Houtu actually burst into tears after speaking, a sight that would evoke pity.

In each crystal tear...

lay her overwhelming gratitude towards Chen Xuan.

It also represented the Wu clan's tragic resolve to die fighting!

"It's good that you understand!"

Seeing Houtu finally grasp it, Chen Xuan nodded, expressing his great satisfaction.

"Ancestor Witch Houtu, my third brother Tongtian's words hold merit. You still have a chance now. Don't make another mistake and remain stubborn. Listen to my advice: if you stop now and dismantle the Dutian God-Demon Array, the Wu clan... might still have a sliver of hope!"

"Otherwise, once the Wu-Demon Calamity escalates into a Great Calamity, the Wu clan cannot bear the consequences!"

Not long after Tongtian's counsel, the outwardly righteous Taiqing Laozi followed suit and added his agreement.

Besides stepping forward to make his presence known and display his magnanimity as the foremost of the Sanqing, He was also very afraid of what kind of outrageous actions this "madwoman" Houtu might commit.

"Yes, an ant... cough cough, Houtu, why don't you obediently undergo reincarnation and achieve sainthood? Become a Hun Yuan Sage, it's such a good outcome?"

Following that, Yuanshi Tianzun also chimed in.

Let alone the Sanqing.

Even the two Golden Crows held their breath at this moment, their nerves taut throughout the entire process. Uncharacteristically, they too hoped the Wu clan would dismantle the Dutian God-Demon Array.

After all, their Demon clan had played a part in stirring up the conflict that led to this calamity, and they could not shirk their responsibility.

If the Wu-Demon Calamity were to escalate into a Great Calamity, even the Heavenly Court of the Demon clan would be utterly annihilated, with no room for recovery.

Ultimately, their Demon clan absolutely could not bear the karmic consequences!

"Hypocritical Taiqing Laozi, shut your mouth!"

"I haven't even thoroughly investigated your schemes against the Human clan yet, and now you're barking here? You have no right to speak to me!"

"And you, Yuanshi Tianzun, of the Sanqing, you are the most hypocritical! Shut up!"

As soon as Laozi and Yuanshi spoke, Chen Xuan's anger flared, and he immediately retorted fiercely.

Tongtian's counsel was well-intentioned.

But Taiqing and Yuanshi?

Heh!

Once again, Chen Xuan publicly rebuked the Taiqing Sage. The beings of the Primordial Desolation World remained unfazed.

Why?

Because they had all grown accustomed to it, they were numb.

"The Wu clan cannot bear it? Heh, let me ask you all, can you, the high and mighty Saints of the Heavens, bear it?"

Chen Xuan sneered coldly and retorted.

"..."

"..."

Chen Xuan's words immediately silenced Taiqing and Yuanshi.

During this process, Yuanshi, as if possessed, subconsciously shook his head!

Yes, Chen Xuan's words were like pearls, sharp as knives, and had deeply pierced the hearts of all the Saints in the Heavens.

They had struck a chord with them!

They indeed could not bear it!

"Since you all want me to undergo reincarnation? Then I will deliberately defy your wishes!"

"Since you all want the Wu clan dead, then no one will live!"

"Since this Primordial Desolation World is vast and boundless, stretching without end, yet there is no place for the Wu clan, no room to accommodate them, then it need not exist!"

Not long after.

A series of magnificent and extremely resonant thunderous sounds rolled out, instantly reverberating through the Nine Heavens and spreading across all the heavens of the Primordial Desolation.

As she spoke, the resolute will to die heroically was not concealed in the slightest!

Boom! Boom boom!!

After Chen Xuan's words fell.

At first glance, the Dutian God-Demon Array violently shook, and billions of blood-red lights fiercely shot up into the sky, tearing through the chaotic starry sky. The heavens and earth collapsed, and endless stars were extinguished.

Waves of terrifying energy swept out, covering the sky and earth like a destructive force, churning and shattering the void.

In an instant, it agitated the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, causing it to tremble violently!

The majestic ancient divine mountains and the primordial heavenly pillars were all shaking precariously at this moment!

Even Hongjun's Daoist sanctuary, Zixiao Palace, far away in the Outer Heavens of Chaos, also swayed as if on the verge of collapse!

"Dutian God-Demon Array, explode for me—!!!"

As soon as these words were uttered.

All the Sages across the heavens changed color, their faces filled with terror and shock!

"This is bad, this woman is going to self-destruct the Dutian God-Demon Array, wanting to perish together with us Sages of the heavens, and even with all the myriad worlds of the Primordial Desolation and all living beings!"

"Hiss—she's insane! This woman is absolutely insane!"

"Damn it!!!"

"No—!!!"
