After Jieyin's Sage's Dao Body was blasted apart.
Chen Xuan let out a thunderous shout, his dominance unmatched.
His invincible bearing was branded once more into the hearts of the gods and demons filling the heavens, and the sages of all realms, like a red-hot iron.
The world fell into dead silence once again!
All living beings fell mute!
This woman was simply far too arrogant!
In a corner of the chaotic void.
Watching his senior brother Jieyin get blown apart, Sage's Blood scattering across the starry sky and staining the firmament, Zhunti's expression changed drastically. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and even his Sage's Dao Heart shook violently.
Beyond his shock and horror.
He also felt an inexplicable wave of lingering fear!
He had nearly joined the war between the Witch Clan and the demon race several times, intending to scheme for the Witch Clan's fortune, seize some benefits, and free himself from Nuwa's entanglement in the process.
But now, it seemed...
The Witch Clan's advantages were not so easily taken!
Fortunately, Nuwa had kept him tightly entangled. Otherwise, the one whose Sage's Dao Body had been blown apart might have been him!
Emmm... thank you, Junior Sister Nuwa, for saving my life!
"Zhunti, didn't you want to join the battle? Don't say I didn't give you the chance. Go on, then... go now. I absolutely won't stop you!"
Houtu's slaughter of a Sage was truly terrifying. Even Nuwa was startled by it. Once she regained her senses, she raised a delicate brow, glanced at Zhunti, and mocked him.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, you jest. Actually, things are... quite good as they are!"
"Isn't discussing the Dao and exchanging techniques delightful?"
At that, Zhunti gave a bitter smile and shook his head, hurriedly refusing.
Join the battle between the Witch Clan and demon race?
There was no way he could go!
"You were given an opportunity, yet you couldn't make use of it. Since that's the case, let's continue fighting!"
After smiling teasingly, Nuwa unfurled the River Diagram of Mountains and Rivers, paving a golden path of light as she attacked with overwhelming Sage might.
The fierce battle between Sages continued!
Let us return to the battlefield between the Witch Clan and demon race.
Chen Xuan's thunderous killing methods had truly given Taiqing and Yuanshi a tremendous fright.
After remaining shocked for a long while.
Just as the ignorant masses believed Jieyin had perished and were all immersed in immense shock.
Taiqing Laozi suddenly spoke coldly. "Jieyin, don't even think of staying out of this. Stop hiding and come out. You're already this old, yet you're still playing such tricks?"
With a formidable enemy before them and such a troublesome opponent, Jieyin wanted to use this excuse to save only himself?
Taiqing exposed the truth with a single sentence, publicly uncovering Jieyin's little trick.
Perhaps others did not know, but could Taiqing possibly not know?
After a Heavenly Dao Sage attained the Dao, they had to submit a wisp of their Innate Undying True Spirit and entrust it to the Heavenly Dao. In exchange, they obtained an eternally indestructible Dao Fruit and became immune to destruction through countless tribulations.
Even if a Sage's Dao Body was destroyed and their primordial spirit annihilated, a Heavenly Dao Sage could regrow severed limbs or revive from a drop of blood with a single thought. They could resurrect without limit!
"Alas, Senior Brother Taiqing truly sees all. I couldn't hide it from you after all..." (Damn you, Taiqing!)
Before long, a feeble Dao voice filled with helplessness quietly echoed through the air.
"Whoosh—"
As those words fell.
Amid rolling clouds, the endless drifting blood mist scattered across the heavens suddenly churned. Golden light blazed and illuminated everything, and in an instant, it condensed into form.
Looking over.
A Daoist in ragged robes, covered in dust and with blood at the corners of his mouth, reappeared in the world in an utterly miserable state.
It was none other than the Western Sage—Jieyin!
Though his blood and qi were depleted, his Sage aura weak, and his mana chaotic, he was still brimming with life!
Yes, Jieyin was still alive!
"Sage Jieyin... didn't die?! ⊙∀⊙!"
"Gasp—Immortal and indestructible, eternal through countless tribulations, able to undergo nirvanic rebirth in a single thought... is this what a Hun Yuan Sage is? So powerful!"
"Why isn't this bastard dead yet? Sigh, I got happy for nothing!"
"..."
Jieyin's rebirth displayed the mighty methods of a Sage. The living beings of heaven and earth were stunned, and after their astonishment, they could not help but feel endless dread.

Thus, the Witch Clan's crisis still remained!
As for this.
Chen Xuan did not care. He faced it calmly; it was merely something he had expected.
Besides.
Although Jieyin had not died, his Sage's Dao Body had already been blown apart once by Chen Xuan. More or less, some damage had still been dealt.
Indeed, after condensing a new Sage's Dao Body, reconstructing his flesh, and undergoing nirvanic rebirth, Jieyin now felt that his Sage origin had been damaged. His cultivation at the first level of Hun Yuan Da Luo had become incomparably unstable.
Not only that!
Just now.
Not only had he narrowly survived a calamity, but he had also sensed...
That the fortune of the West had actually been reduced by a portion!
Obviously.
This was the backlash of fortune!
This was the side effect of forcibly enduring the damage from the Slaughter True Body!
One had to know.
The Slaughter True Body Chen Xuan had condensed was not only infused with a vast amount of Ancestral Witch blood essence, gathered the fortune of the entire Witch Clan, and received the blessing of some World-Opening Merit, but was also protected by a portion of the Will of the Underworld Path!
With so many buffs stacked to the fullest, its passive skill damage was directly maxed out!
How could Jieyin, even as a Heavenly Dao Sage, withstand it?
He could not afford to provoke it at all!
If Taiqing had not exposed him, Jieyin would certainly have hidden for the rest of his life without showing himself!
Now, he was being roasted over a fire, unable to advance or retreat!
Damn it!
If he had known this earlier, he truly would not have come to wade into this mess!
Regretful!
Too late!
"Senior Brother Taiqing, this fiend's Slaughter True Body is exceedingly strange. Not only can it injure Sages, but it also causes those who attack it to suffer a backlash of fortune. Tell me, how are we supposed to fight this?"
"If it happens a few more times, I'm afraid... afraid I'll fall from Sagehood and lose this Hun Yuan cultivation of mine!"
Realizing the severity of the situation, Jieyin looked at Taiqing and hurriedly cried out in distress, truly on the verge of tears!
After all, the two Western Sages were unlike the Three Pure Ones, who founded teachings and gained merit to become Sages.
They were not even comparable to Nuwa.
After painstakingly making the Forty-Eight Great Vows, they had finally become Sages on credit, barely reaching the first level of Hun Yuan Da Luo!
They could not withstand such torment!
"The same words as before: try not to touch Houtu. You only need to target the Ancestral Witches!"
"Kill one, and you break even. Kill two, and you profit!"
"Then this situation can be broken!"
How could Taiqing not know about the Slaughter True Body's passive skill damage? After giving his instructions, he did not delay any longer, fearing further changes.
Having said that.
He stepped forward and shattered the void. His three incarnations attacked alongside him, sweeping forth with vast and terrifying Sage might.
Yuanshi followed closely behind.
Gritting his teeth, Jieyin attacked as well!
"Rumble! Rumble rumble!!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang—"
The Slaughter True Body battled the six Sages. It was not a calamity of the ages, yet it surpassed one. All kinds of killing divine abilities surged into the heavens, destructive laws intertwined in terror, and boundless Sage might swept through the four directions and shook the eight desolations, creating and destroying one multiversal world after another while collapsing the myriad heavens.
The souls of all living beings in heaven and earth trembled, each and every one frightened out of their wits!
Terrifying!
It was simply too terrifying!
Although the Slaughter True Body was valiant and invincible, capable of shaking Hun Yuan Sages, it could not endure the combined assault of six Sages.
No one knew how much time passed.
Looking over.
The originally towering Slaughter True Body, its entire form tempered in blood like crystalline agate and nearly flawless, was now covered in bowl-thick cracks after the intense battle and bitter struggle. They spread like a spiderweb, dense beyond counting, while streams of blood poured from countless wounds—a horrific sight indeed.
The majestic Sage might was terrifying. A mere wisp of its aura could easily pulverize hundreds of millions of stars into dust and create or destroy countless minor multiversal worlds.
Thus, during the fierce battle, it even affected the Ancestral Witches who were meditating with their eyes closed to recover.
Looking around, the bodies of the Ancestral Witches were likewise covered in cracks. Their entire bodies were drenched in blood, as though they had just crawled out of Pangu's Blood Pool, a horrifying and piercing sight.
Sure enough, battling the six Sages of heaven and earth at once was still far too forced!
Hard, hard, hard—it was simply too hard!
Was danger at hand?
