Chen Xuan's Law Destruction Formula, the World-Ending Cataclysm Descends upon the Primordial World!
After Chen Xuan finished speaking.
A drop of gleaming golden Ancestor Witch essence blood squeezed from his fingertip and swiftly merged into the formation eye below.
Rumble—
In an instant, the Great Array of the Stars erupted. Blood-red light filled the heavens as boundless Calamity Qi completely ran wild, surging fiercely into the sky and proclaiming the true meaning of destruction and slaughter, as though it would annihilate heaven and earth!
With a thunderous boom, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation wielded by Sect Master Tongtian violently trembled, on the verge of collapse!
Terrifying god-demon Calamity Qi swept across the countless heavens and worlds of the Primordial World like an overwhelming tide, making all living beings in heaven and earth break out in a cold sweat!
It was simply too terrifying!
Amid their fear and panic, all living beings were utterly dumbfounded.
Wait, hadn't they already reached an agreement?
Why was Ancestor Witch Houtu still going to detonate the Dutian God-Demon Array in the end!??
Fine, fine, fine! So the Dutian God-Demon Array just had to explode today, was that it!?
Mother of heaven, this was terrifying!
Let alone the living beings of heaven and earth.
Even the sages of the heavens were all dumbfounded.
Holy shit! That bitch Houtu... actually had no sense of honor!
Even Hongjun suddenly raised his brows. His eyes widened in disbelief as he was instantly seized by immense terror and bewilderment.
At the same time, he was deeply puzzled. "How could this happen? Could it be that Houtu... noticed something? Has she already seen through this Ancestor's scheme!? Hiss—impossible!"
After racking his brains and painstakingly setting up countless schemes, "Houtu" simply refused to play along!
She wanted the compensation too!
And she still wanted to detonate the Dutian God-Demon Array!
It had to be said that Chen Xuan's outrageous move came so suddenly and without warning that it completely confused Hongjun.
"Houtu, how dare you break your word!?"
"You dared to swindle our spirit treasures, yet you still intend to detonate the Dutian God-Demon Array! You lowly ant crawling in the mud... you took the gifts and still refused to do the job!? You are utterly detestable! Damned bitch!!"
Among them, Taiqing and Yuanshi had the greatest emotional reactions. Standing within the Dutian Array and feeling boundless terror bear down on them, their backs turned cold and their scalps went numb. They immediately flew into a furious rage and cursed without end.
They had thought that by painfully parting with so many supreme treasures, they could fool Houtu into withdrawing the formation. Who would have thought! Who could have thought!
In the end, that reckless bitch still wanted to detonate the Dutian God-Demon Array!
This time, they had truly lost both the wife and the army—trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used as bait!
Fuck!
Dao Ancestor, look at this bitch! Look at that rotten idea of yours!?
Fuck!
Though The Two Qing were furious and resentful, they had grievances they did not dare voice and could only silently endure everything.
They could only vent all their emotions on Houtu instead, their hatred surging to the heavens. They practically wanted to kill her!
A lunatic—this bitch was absolutely a lunatic!
All she ever thought about was exploding this and exploding that. She was completely insane!
Let alone everyone else.
Even Houtu herself was extremely surprised and alarmed by Chen Xuan's mysterious maneuver.
"Senior Chen Xuan, why? Why are you doing this!?"
She truly could not understand!
The Three Pure Ones had clearly already yielded and compromised, so why was Senior Chen Xuan still doing this?
She simply could not figure it out!
What exactly was going on?
Houtu had originally thought that Chen Xuan's repeated threats to self-destruct using the Dutian God-Demon Array were merely meant as leverage to frighten the sages of the heavens.
But she had never expected...
Senior Chen Xuan was actually serious!?
Hiss—
Terrifying!
If this truly spiraled out of control, then the entire Witch Clan would be finished!
Along with the countless billions of living beings in the Primordial World, they would all be doomed!
"What do you mean, why? Why are there so many whys?"
"Houtu, have you ever heard of the Law Destruction Formula?"
In the brief interval before decisively detonating the Dutian God-Demon Array, Chen Xuan did not forget to impart some knowledge to Houtu, ever the eager teacher.
"The Law Destruction Formula!???"
Houtu instinctively shook her head. What Law Destruction Formula? She had never heard of it!
Still, it sounded rather impressive...
"Let me put it this way. Based on the hypocritical faces and character of the sages of the heavens, do you think... Taiqing and the others would willingly hand over their own Companion Spirit Treasures and so many artifacts for attaining the Dao?"
"If there were no tricks involved, would you believe it? I certainly wouldn't."
"Like I said, once the Witch Clan loses the Dutian God-Demon Array as its support, then when the lips are gone, the teeth grow cold; when the rabbit dies, the hound is cooked. The consequences would be absolutely unthinkable. Rather than being plotted against by the sages and led around by the nose by that old bastard Hongjun, we might as well seize the initiative. The advantage is ours now!"
"Understand?"
Chen Xuan continued patiently.
Houtu was left completely bewildered, her mind full of confusion.
Though she did not understand it, she somehow felt...
Why did Senior Chen Xuan's words sound so reasonable?
But there was still one thing she did not understand, so she immediately asked again, "Since the Dutian God-Demon Array is our only support, why do you still want to self-destruct it, Senior? Houtu does not understand!"
"It's fine if you don't understand. You'll understand someday. For now, just lie back and relax. I'll carry you to victory."
Chen Xuan did not pay much attention to Houtu's persistent questioning.
After speaking.
He turned toward the Ancestor Witches and immediately shouted—
"Everyone, join me in detonating the Dutian God-Demon Array! Sacrifice ourselves to the formation, prove our resolve with death, crush every scheme and conspiracy of the sages of the heavens, and uphold the majesty of our Witch Clan!"
Peals of thunder exploded beside the Ancestor Witches' ears, deafeningly loud.
Though they did not understand what "Houtu" was doing, the Twelve Ancestor Witches were united as one, sharing glory and ruin alike. No matter the circumstances, they unconditionally trusted every choice Houtu made!
At worst...
What was wrong with returning to Father God Pangu's embrace?
Even if they perished today, they would make the sages of the heavens and the immortals and demons filling the sky understand—
Their Witch Clan was not easy to bully!
Nor could they be trampled upon at will!
Not even those Heavenly Dao Sages who claimed to stand above all others could do so!
Not even apologies and compensation could soothe them now!
"Hahahaha—our Houtu sister, who fought heaven and earth without fear and charged forward without hesitation, is back!"
"Just fucking do it!"
"Fight—!!!"
"..."
Following Chen Xuan's command.
The Ancestor Witches roared and shouted in unison.
The Dutian God-Demon Array shook madly, its boundless and terrifying destructive might growing ever more intense!
It instantly caused the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to sway violently, as though it might collapse at any moment!
"Fellow Daoist Houtu, please hear a word from me!"
At that moment, Sect Master Tongtian suddenly spoke. "This is not a solution. Once you detonate the Dutian God-Demon Array, not only will countless lives be lost, but the Witch Clan will also be burdened with immense karma and sin. By then, the Witch Clan will have no room left to maneuver or turn fate around!"
In response to Tongtian's well-intentioned warning.
"Houtu" did not care in the least.
She said frankly, "Sect Master Tongtian, do you think saying such things still has any meaning now?"
"At this point, the Witch Clan can only walk this path to the bitter end. Any room to maneuver, any sliver of hope, can only be won through the Witch Clan risking our lives!"
Her voice boomed like a great bell, making Sect Master Tongtian's eardrums ache and silencing him at once.
Yes, things had reached this point. There was no longer any room to turn back!
Just as Houtu had said, the Witch Clan could only walk this path to the bitter end!
Such an unyielding will was certainly worthy of admiration, but...
The price would be unimaginably great!
Could the Witch Clan truly bear it?
And could the sages of the heavens, himself included, truly bear it?
Not even Dao Ancestor Hongjun would be exempt!
"Houtu, how dare you! How dare you!"
"Is the compensation not enough? Everything can still be discussed! Don't be so impulsive! We can talk this out!"
Taiqing panicked. He had completely lost his composure.
"Big Brother, it's useless! This bitch is a lunatic! No amount of supreme treasures will change anything!!"
"Besides, the Witch Clan is born flawed, with incomplete Primordial Spirits. They do not understand the workings of heaven and are destined to be unable to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth, much less wield the power of spirit treasures. She demanded so many supreme treasures earlier only to toy with us sages!"
"So what if we give her more spirit treasures? Can she hold onto them? Can she even wield them!?"
At this point, Yuanshi had unexpectedly gained a moment of clarity and roared in a stern voice.
It had to be said that Yuanshi's insults were truly vicious!
He went straight for the heart, exposing the fact that the Witch Clan's Primordial Spirits were incomplete!
He did not leave them even a shred of dignity!
He was done pretending!
Upon hearing this, Taiqing Laozi seemed to be struck by lightning. He suddenly came to his senses and staggered unsteadily.
Fuck, so they had been played!
"Houtu, this Ancestor will ask you one last time. Are you certain you wish to do this?"
Suddenly, Hongjun's vast voice drifted over—
"Once you do this and trigger an Immeasurable Calamity, the order of heaven and earth will collapse into instability. Even if you survive by some miracle, the remaining Witch Clan will henceforth be despised and targeted by the Heavenly Dao. Mountains and rivers will reject you, plants and trees will not welcome you. Can you bear such consequences?"
This time, Hongjun was genuinely earnest, patiently advising her and speaking the truth without the slightest deception or calculation.
However...
Chen Xuan could not care less!
"Old Daoist Hongjun, you think you can scare me!? Let me tell you, this old lady was scared big!!" (Chen Xuan had really graduated from Xiamen University in his previous life.)
"So what if the Heavenly Dao despises me? So what if it targets me? What does that have to do with me? This old lady rolls with the Earthly Dao!"
"Dutian God-Demon Array, explode!"
Chen Xuan was as domineering as ever.
After speaking.
"Houtu" stood at the pinnacle of the vast starry sky, her eyes crimson and her hair whipping wildly behind her. Even facing the pressure of the sages of the heavens and the assault of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, her spine remained straight. Her voice shook the universe, and she seemed possessed by a tragic resolve to die!
Countless Witch Clan beings instantly burst into sorrowful tears!
They were overwhelmed with grief!
Their sighs of regret never ceased!
Rumble!
Rumble rumble!!
In the span of a breath, the Dutian Array self-destructed, instantly unleashing endless destruction.
Crashing sounds of collapse echoed throughout the heaven and earth of the Primordial World, shaking heaven and making gods and demons weep.
The boundless ancient starry sky directly caved in, and countless billions of stars fell like shattered jade, plunging everything into a murky chaos.
Looking across the vast Primordial World, the scene was equally terrifying beyond measure.
The earth split open with chasms tens of thousands of feet deep...
Countless billions of miles of mountains and rivers shattered, and the Four Seas and Eight Wastes crumbled alike...
The land shook violently as countless volcanoes erupted and endless lava surged, swallowing the nine heavens and ten lands of the Primordial World. Everywhere it passed became scorched wasteland and ruins!
The endless Sea of Blood churned and collapsed, its violent scarlet waters sweeping across every continent like ancient ferocious beasts!
Mount Buzhou, the Pillar of the Primordial Desolation, also shook without end. Countless boulders broke away from its slopes, crushing vegetation beneath them as though the mountain were about to collapse and snap apart!
Scenes of world-ending catastrophe unfolded one after another. The living beings of heaven and earth wailed everywhere, their cries heart-rending and utterly tragic!
It was terrifying beyond compare!
"She's insane, completely insane!"
Seeing this, Hongjun no longer possessed the calm dignity of a Dao Ancestor. His expression was filled with shock and fear as he cursed under his breath while hurriedly stepping out of Zixiao Palace and racing to save the situation!
Saving even a little was better than saving nothing!
Fuck, they were really screwed this time!
