That ancient starry sky had previously been reduced to a chaotic expanse by the self-destruction of the Dutian God-Demon Array.

And now, another world-shaking battle had erupted, once again playing out scenes of terrifying apocalypse.

Countless gazes converged upon it.

The Slaughter True Body was certainly valiant, its killing power comparable to that of a Hun Yuan Sage.

Moreover, "Houtu" had developed a complete primordial spirit and wielded numerous supreme treasures.

But even so.

Facing the attacks of Taiqing and Yuanshi, two Third Layer Hun Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Sages, at once was still somewhat beyond its strength.

As for the offensive power of spiritual treasures?

The two Sages were no less formidable!

Looking over.

Taiqing Laozi stood atop the twelve-petaled World Cleansing White Lotus, holding the Innate Banana Fan in his left hand and the Eight Sceneries Palace Lantern in his right. The Vajra Ring hovered above his head, the Seven Stars Sword hung behind him, the Dragon Head Crutch rose and fell around him, and the Purple Gold Gourd swallowed heaven and earth...

Yuanshi Tianzun was no weaker. A Heavenly Cloud hovered above his head, rendering him invincible. He held the Glazed Jade Bottle in his palm, while the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag fluttered endlessly, and the Jade Void Glazed Lamp unleashed the Myriad Spirits Ancient Flame to burn heaven and earth!

Though they had once been extorted out of many supreme treasures, they still possessed no small reserve.

This was the foundation of Sages!

What was more, it was the foundation of Profound Gate Sages!

Something beyond the reach of the countless cultivators of the heavens!

At first, the Slaughter True Body wielded by Chen Xuan displayed its might, carrying the peerless bearing of one who could crush all enemies.

But gradually...

It began to show signs of decline. Its radiance dimmed, cracks appeared across its body—one after another, spreading like spiderwebs in utter chaos, a truly horrifying sight.

"Second Brother, this woman's Slaughter True Body is about to give out! Let's put in more effort!"

The battle seemed to have reached its climax when Taiqing Laozi suddenly shouted in excitement!

"Judging by this trend, we probably won't even need to wait for that bastard Tongtian to recover. The Immortal-Slaying Formation won't be needed either. We can shatter her Dharma body and suppress all the Ancestral Witches! Hehehe—"

Without the threat and restraint of the Dutian God-Demon Array, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately felt capable again. He pushed his Hun Yuan battle strength to the utmost as endless killing divine abilities rained down like a raging storm, while he laughed maniacally.

Victory seemed within sight, already firmly in their grasp!

"Mm, indeed. There's an eighty percent chance we won't need Third Brother..."

Hearing this, Taiqing Laozi nodded lightly, his face glowing with pride and high spirits.

Houtu was blessed by destiny, protected by a portion of the Will of the Underworld Path and sheltered by World-Opening Merit. Even Hun Yuan Sages did not dare kill her lightly, lest they suffer backlash.

But...

If Houtu could not be touched or killed, could the other Ancestral Witches not be killed?

Whether it was Taiqing.

Or Yuanshi Tianzun.

In their eyes, as long as they killed the Ancestral Witches—even if they killed only one!

Then...

With one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches missing, they would be unable to form the complete Dutian God-Demon Array!

Thus, all future troubles would be eliminated!

At that time.

The Witch Clan would perish!

Houtu would transform into reincarnation!

Everything would return to its proper course, restore itself to normal, and the world would know peace!

Thinking of this, Taiqing and Yuanshi fought more fiercely with every passing moment. Their fighting spirit shook heaven and earth, while their vast Battle Qi swept through the ages!

They could no longer wait to settle the battle!

"Good, good, good! Just like that! Suppress and kill Houtu for this Emperor! It would be best if all Twelve Ancestor Witches died, so that I may offer them as sacrifice to my brother Tai Yi's spirit in heaven!"

"Kill this bitch for me!!!"

It was obvious to any discerning eye that the battle between the two Sages and Houtu was about to be decided. Seeing this, Di Jun could barely contain his excitement. His eyes were bloodshot, his gaze cracked with fury, and his entire body trembled with agitation.

In the deepest reaches of the East Sea Dragon Abyss.

Patriarch Zhulong trembled in terror and could not help breaking out in a cold sweat for Houtu.

At the Southern Bright Undying Volcano.

Phoenix Mother, the beautiful noblewoman in palace attire, clenched her slender jade fingers until they turned white. Her pearly teeth bit tightly into her crimson lips as she worried endlessly.

The aged Tude Qilin of Qilin Cliff hunched over even more deeply, sighing with endless emotion.

In the eyes of the many innate deities.

Although Houtu had returned from the boundless destruction caused by the self-destruction of the Dutian God-Demon Array and had developed a complete primordial spirit, allowing her to wield multiple spiritual treasures in battle.

Without the Dutian God-Demon Array to rely on, however, such external aids could only add flowers to brocade.

Distant water could not quench immediate thirst!

What did it matter if she possessed a Slaughter True Body?

It was merely an arrow at the end of its flight, a dying candle in the wind, a futile struggle!

In short.

Houtu...

Could not possibly endure for much longer!

The Witch Clan, too, could not escape the fate of destruction!

Alas, how tragic!

The Three Ancestors of the Human Race, together with countless Human Clan lives, had already begun silently praying and offering blessings for Houtu and the Witch Clan.

Countless Witch Clan members continued fighting bloodily upon the battlefield, while the women, elderly, and children of the Witch Clan wept in grief without end.

Yet at this moment, misfortune piled upon misfortune.

Not long afterward, booming voices suddenly echoed from deep within Western Mount Sumeru—

"Excellent, excellent! Wonderful, wonderful! This woman Houtu's Slaughter True Body is about to shatter and collapse! Hahahaha—so she has this day as well?! The great enmity of our West shall finally be avenged!"

"Senior Brothers Taiqing and Yuanshi, your junior brother has come to lend you a hand!"

Jieyin, who had been watching from the West and waiting to see how things unfolded, finally spotted his chance. With a flash in his eyes, he shattered the void across countless miles and rushed toward that battlefield!

First, he had come to avenge his grievances and restore the Sage's Majesty of the West.

Second, he wanted to contribute his share. Once the battle was decided and Dao Ancestor Hongjun distributed rewards according to merit, the West would receive a portion as well!

It had to be said, Jieyin truly had a fine scheme!

He was here, he was here—Jieyin had come to pick up the spoils!

"Junior Sister Nuwa, you have seen it as well. The outcome of the battle between the Witch Clan and Demon Clan has been decided. The Twelve Ancestor Witches are doomed, and there is no turning things around. The Dao Ancestor has given his command, and a master's orders cannot be defied. Let me go join the battle. Afterward, my West will certainly give you an explanation. What do you say?"

"Otherwise, when the Dao Ancestor reproaches you later, you will not be able to escape blame!"

How could Zhunti possibly be absent from something like picking up spoils? Seeing Nuwa clinging tightly to him and refusing to let him go, he began trying to deceive her.

"Bald donkey, are you threatening me?"

"You're courting death—"

The blood feud of the Human Clan could not be forgotten. Nuwa refused to yield, and her Sage-level killing attacks became even fiercer.

"Another Sage has joined the battle! It's Jieyin!"

"It's over, it's over! The Witch Clan is truly finished this time!"

"The Sages of the heavens are truly shameless! They actually joined forces to bully a single woman! How hateful!"

"Exactly! Seeing this today, these so-called lofty and flawless Heavenly Dao Sages are nothing more than this! If one day... this poor Daoist reaches the pinnacle of the Great Dao, I will never attain the Dao Fruit of a Heavenly Dao Sage!"

"That's right! Since Fellow Daoist won't become a Heavenly Dao Sage, then neither will I! They... are simply bullying people too much!"

"If you won't attain it, then neither will this poor Daoist!"

"..."

When Jieyin joined the battle, public opinion throughout the Primordial World became overwhelmingly one-sided. Everyone condemned and cursed him without end, enough to make one burn with anger!

Jieyin's shameless act was so outrageous that even Taiqing and Yuanshi wanted to curse him, rolling their eyes in fury.

The two of them, dignified Sages, joining forces to bully Houtu alone had already put them under intense scrutiny, as though they were walking on thin ice.

Then Jieyin suddenly stepped in to pick up the spoils, directly casting the Two Qing into disgrace!

Fuck!

That bastard Jieyin!

Faced with the attacks and suppression of three Hun Yuan Sages at once.

Chen Xuan showed no fear.

His heart remained calm and undisturbed as he faced it openly.

Especially when he saw Jieyin travel across countless miles to join the battle, he was so enraged that he laughed.

"Jieyin, you bald donkey, you want to join in too? Good, good, good! Then I'll kill you along with them!!"

"Since you've come, don't even think of leaving!!!"

As his words fell.

Chen Xuan glanced from the corner of his eye at the Slaughter True Body's speed of gathering the qi of Heaven and Earth Calamity and Slaughter. It was simply too slow.

If this continued, the Slaughter True Body being destroyed was only a matter of time.

So, he decided to speed up the Slaughter True Body!

"I stain the boundless land with my blood, let vast fortune return to me. Slaughter... cough, cough, Merit Golden Body, condense for me—!!!"

In the next moment, Chen Xuan seemed to chant the voices of gods and demons, vast and resounding as they shook the nine heavens.

When he finished speaking.

He raised the Demon-Slaying Sword high in his hand.

Then decisively swung it!

Resolutely slicing open his palm!

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, Ancestral Witch blood essence poured out like a flood. Blood qi filled the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a Milky Way cascading down from the nine heavens, dyeing an entire stretch of sky crimson in a moment.

The scarlet color was piercing to the eye and terrifying beyond measure!

"What is this crazy bitch doing now!? What exactly is she trying to do!"

"She's actually... sacrificing the origin of her own Ancestral Witch blood essence to feed the Slaughter True Body?! Hiss—"

"She's gone mad! This woman has gone mad again!! Help—"
