"Houtu" suddenly cursed.
Dumbfounded!
All the Sages of the heavens were dumbfounded!
Within the Chaos Purple Sky Palace.
Hongjun's expression was as dark as water, black lines streaking across his forehead.
Ever since he had attained the Dao and become a Sage, honored as the Primordial Desolation Dao Ancestor.
He had stood high above all, peerless and majestic!
He stood beneath only the Heavenly Dao, above all Sages and living beings!
So when had he ever suffered such disrespect?
At that thought.
A nameless fury suddenly surged within Hongjun's heart!
He wished he could strike at once and erase Houtu on the spot!
But Houtu was the future Lord of Reincarnation, shouldering the Primordial World's great mission and bearing the supreme will of the Earthly Dao.
Unless Houtu lost her mind and killed herself, even Hongjun could do nothing to her!
How infuriating!
"Why was Houtu suddenly so resistant to evolving Reincarnation? Could it be... she has awakened?"
Furious as he was, once Hongjun steadied himself and calmed down, he could not help but feel a strange unease.
His Sage's Dharma Eyes narrowed into thin slits, endless icy killing intent emanating from them.
He stared fixedly at the Witch-Demon battlefield!
"Houtu" had just uttered something shocking enough to stun the Sages, instantly leaving the Sages of the Profound Gate thunderstruck—
The Grand Pure Sage said in astonishment, "Did I hear wrong? Just now... Houtu seemed to have cursed at Dao Ancestor?!"
Jade Pure Primordial Beginning flew into a rage. "How dare you, Houtu! A mere ant dares insult a Sage? Utterly rebellious!"
Sage Jieyin merely smiled disdainfully. "The Witch Clan truly does not understand the heavenly order. Houtu's actions... will only hasten the Witch Clan's destruction!"
Sage Zhunti looked delighted by their misfortune. "The Witch-Demon conflict has exhausted its fortune, and Eastern Destiny has suffered greatly. Our West shall prosper!"
"..."
"..."
Forget Hongjun and the Sages of the Profound Gate.
Chen Xuan's actions.
Even left Houtu herself dumbfounded!
No, Senior had just... publicly talked back to Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
Hiss—
Senior, what happened to the method for breaking the Witch Clan's predicament?
Why were you not following the script?!
Everyone in the Primordial Desolation World knew this saying—Sages must not be insulted!
Although Houtu already knew the truth and understood that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been stirring things up behind the scenes, his intentions deserving death!
But she now...
Was merely a Quasi-Saint.
Compared to a Sage.
She was nothing but an ant!
A speck of dust, nothing more!
How could she possibly stand against Hongjun?
As the saying went, All below a Sage are Ants.
How could a mere ant dare insult a Heavenly Dao Sage, the Primordial Desolation Dao Ancestor?
This was courting death!
"Senior..."
"Don't speak, and don't panic. I'm here. That bastard Hongjun... dares not do anything to me."
"-_-||..."
Houtu had just wanted to speak when Chen Xuan cut her off.
Insulting a Sage was an act of utter defiance!
How could she not panic?
He dared not do anything to you?
Please, that was Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao's foremost Sage!
Just how imposing were you to dare wager that Hongjun would not touch you?!!
It was over! The Witch Clan was doomed!
For a moment, Houtu even began regretting handing control of her body over to Chen Xuan!
Heavens, how could he cause such a massive disaster?!
However...
Just as Houtu was trembling with terror.
Even after a long while had passed.
Hongjun showed no reaction at all.
No divine punishment descended as the Sages of the Profound Gate had expected, nor did he harshly punish Houtu.
The skies were clear, the air serene, and heaven and earth remained still.
It was as though...
Hongjun, in his fury, had merely gotten angry!
At this.
The Six Sages of the Profound Gate were all utterly baffled.
"No, since when did Master become so mild-tempered? That was it? No response at all?"
"Exactly. If Master does not severely punish Houtu today, then will not all living beings of the Primordial World imitate her in the future? Will they all be able to insult Sages as they please? How absurd!"
"Teacher... probably could not be bothered to argue with her. After all, who would hold a tiny ant accountable for its mistakes? That would be too beneath him!"
"Senior Brother Jieyin, our chance to make a showing has arrived!"
"?????"
Looking again at Houtu, seeing that Hongjun had remained silent for so long, she too was stunned.
She had never expected...
That Senior had actually been right?
Dao Ancestor Hongjun truly did not dare touch her?!
But why was that?
How strange indeed!
At this.
Chen Xuan stood proudly at the pinnacle of the primordial starry sky, his hands clasped behind his back, looking completely fearless.
There was no other reason.
Chen Xuan had already seen through everything.
After all, Houtu was the future Lord of Reincarnation and the spokesperson chosen by the Earthly Dao, one favored by destiny!
In a sense.
Houtu stood on equal footing with Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Would Hongjun dare touch her?
Heh!
Only if Hongjun could bear the immense karma of the Earthly Dao's backlash!
"Senior, since we will not Transform into Reincarnation or step into the trap Hongjun so carefully arranged, then what should we do next... to end this war and save the Witch Clan?"
After waiting so long without seeing Hongjun fly into a rage, Houtu finally let out a breath of relief. She felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted, and an inexplicable reverence for Chen Xuan arose within her. She then humbly asked for his guidance.
"Only through battle!"
The sharp cry was like rolling, world-shaking divine thunder, suddenly echoing beside Houtu's ears.
It shook her Dao Heart and stirred her spirit.
As it rang through her mind, Houtu felt her blood boil, boundless fighting spirit soaring into the heavens as vast Battle Qi swept through the ages!
That was right. Had Chen Xuan not reminded her.
She would nearly have forgotten...
The Witch Clan had inherited Pangu's supreme will. They had fought heaven and earth all their lives, invincible and fearless!
In the current Witch-Demon conflict, only battle could end the war!
As his words fell.
Houtu swayed her graceful figure, stepped forward on lotus feet, and rushed toward the Witch-Demon battlefield.
Looking ahead.
The core battlefield of this Witch-Demon war lay within the vast primordial starry sky.
Ancient stars rolled madly through the void, pouring down endless destructive starlight that blanketed all directions!
In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color, the universe shattered, and every inch of the world trembled.
Beneath the dazzling starlight, countless stars crashed down. Their terrifying momentum swept through the cosmos, annihilating innumerable Witch Clan beings in an instant.
Even more surging stellar power pierced the heavens, sweeping down corpse after corpse that blotted out the sky as they fell—the bodies of countless dead Witch Clan great witches.
This was the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation deployed by the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court. Three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Demon Gods formed the array, each holding one of three hundred and sixty-five Star Banners and drawing down the power of the stars of the heavens. It could kill all existences below Sages!
It was truly terrifying!
For a time, the Witch Clan suffered countless casualties and immense losses!
"Brothers, join me in deploying the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array!"
"Destroy the Demon Clan and shatter the Heavenly Court!"
Seeing this, Houtu spoke with resounding force, her bearing overflowing with dominance. She was like an unmatched empress descending upon the battlefield, commanding the entire war.
After speaking, she flicked her hand. Her gauzy sleeves fluttered as she grasped a Dutian God-Demon Array Banner, her immortal figure swaying as she charged into the ranks of the Twelve Ancestor Witches.
She intended to set up the Dutian God-Demon killing array!
"Not good! That woman Houtu is about to set up the killing array! Stop her for this emperor—!!!"
Upon learning that the Twelve Ancestor Witches had gathered and were about to deploy the Dutian God-Demon Array, Demon Emperor Di Jun's expression hardened. With a furious roar, he dispatched the ten great Demon Marshals to reinforce the battlefield.
He intended to intercept Houtu!
One had to know that the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array was as famous as the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, the Hun Yuan He Luo Great Formation, and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, collectively known as the four great killing formations of the Primordial World.
In truth.
Compared with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.
This formation was even stronger!
After all, once the Twelve Ancestor Witches deployed this formation, they could condense a Pangu True Body and bring it forth, expounding the ultimate truths of the Law of Strength.
Its power was equivalent to a Heavenly Dao Sage personally attacking with their physical body!
At that point, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation would likely be unable to contend against it!
No wonder Di Jun of the Golden Crow had changed expression so drastically.
Just as the Heavenly Court's ten great Demon Marshals moved to intercept Houtu.
Suddenly.
Above the starry cosmos, golden lotuses abruptly bloomed one after another. Immortal music infused with Dao rhythm began to play, and a wave of Hun Yuan pressure descended without warning!
"Hiss—what terrifying Hun Yuan pressure!"
"A Sage has descended!"
"What?! A Hun Yuan Sage has joined the calamity!! This... this..."
