Requesting Battle from the Two Western Sages, the Great Array of the Stars Begins!

"..."

"..."

"..."

The world fell into a deathly silence.

Sage Zhunti's blood splattered across the starry sky. Each drop contained world-ending power, crushing inch after inch of void as it fell, instantly annihilating countless multiversal mini-worlds.

Terrifying beyond compare!

This scene was truly horrifying and outrageous!

Instantly, countless gazes focused on the peerlessly elegant figure.

Some were stunned and bewildered.

Others were terrified and aghast.

But more than anything, they were incredulous!

They couldn't understand it at all!

Sage Zhunti had made a move, yet not only had he failed to suppress Houtu, he had actually been injured himself?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe such a story if it got out?!!!

This...

was too bizarre!

Inside the Purple Firmament Palace in the chaos.

Hongjun's heart sank as he witnessed this scene, a chill running down his spine!

As expected!

This confirmed it; Ancestor Witch Houtu had indeed awakened her past life's wisdom.

She was the Lord of Reincarnation, and the Ancestor of the Underworld Path!

If Houtu were to fall, the Underworld Path would collapse, and the myriad worlds of the Primordial Desolation would once again repeat the cycle of chaos, recreating the primal elements.

Should anyone harm her, the will of the Underworld Path would activate its protective mechanism!

Let alone the mere Zhunti.

Even he, Hongjun, could not withstand the backlash from the Underworld Path!

He had originally thought that by instigating the Wu-Demon tribulation, he could force Houtu to embody the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

A wisp of her innate, indestructible true spirit would then be forever trapped within the Six Paths of the Underworld.

From then on, the will of the Underworld Path would fall into a deep slumber, eventually fading into nothingness, rendering the authority of the Underworld Path a mere formality.

But Hongjun had never calculated...

that at the critical moment of the Wu-Demon war, Houtu would awaken her golden finger – Chen Xuan!

Chen Xuan had transmigrated, attaching himself to Houtu's nascent spirit. Not only did he complete her fragmented Primordial Spirit, but he even forcibly broke through the seemingly certain death Houtu faced.

This caused the original trajectory of the Heavenly Dao to deviate subtly entirely because of Chen Xuan!

What was once predetermined had now become a major variable!

As various thoughts swirled, Hongjun fell into a contemplative silence, seemingly pondering how to break the deadlock and devise a countermeasure, suddenly feeling a splitting headache.

"Junior Brother!"

"Audacious Houtu, how dare you injure my Junior Brother, you court death!!"

Zhunti was wounded, and the Western Sect's prestige was tarnished. His senior brother, Jieyin, was instantly enraged!

Suddenly, a furious roar echoed through the universe, traveling from the distant Western Continent.

As he finished speaking.

His gaze fell upon them.

Billions of golden lights erupted from the West, instantly tearing through the sky. Sage Jieyin arrived, bathed in light.

His body was plump, his face round and prosperous, but his entire being radiated a prison-like Buddha-light, and his Sage's pressure descended upon the Wu-Demon battlefield!

Instantly, billions of living beings fell silent, even their breathing seemed to halt.

The world was filled with a suffocating sense of déjà vu, heavy and oppressive!

"Sage Jieyin has also arrived, hehe, this is going to be lively!"

"This time, Ancestor Witch Houtu... is doomed, she will surely die! Heaven favors my Demon Court! Hahahaha—"

With the arrival of the Twin Sages of the West on the Wu-Demon battlefield, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, who had been somewhat bewildered and disappointed a moment ago, now had a stronger glint of schadenfreude in their eyes, their lips curving upward uncontrollably.

They felt that Houtu's actions were akin to playing with fire and were contemplating how to reap the benefits.

While some demons rejoiced, some witches despaired.

In contrast, the countless Wu clan members felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, all anxiously gazing at the two Sage dharma images at the absolute peak of the starry sky, their immense grandeur chilling the hearts of the Wu.

Among them, the Ancestor Witches stood shoulder to shoulder. Though usually defiant, they now wore solemn expressions, each burning their Ancestor Witch essence blood to the utmost, pushing their combat power to its peak, secretly gathering wind and thunder. Their auras were deep and steady as they prepared for the enraged Western Twin Sages.

"Chen Xuan... Senior... Senior..."

Houtu, who had been worried about Chen Xuan just a moment ago, saw that he was unharmed and her heart, which had just begun to settle, now leaped into her throat again.

My goodness, ever since handing over control of my body to Chen Xuan, Houtu felt her extremely taut nerves had never relaxed!

One wave had barely subsided before another arose.

It was truly terrifying!

Stimulating!

"Calm down, it's just another bald donkey. One Sage or two Sages makes no difference to me."

"Even if all the Sages of the Xuanmen gathered here, I would still face them without fear!"

Chen Xuan stared intently at the two majestic Sage dharma images standing before him, his expression calm and unwavering, as he continued to speak with his usual domineering tone.

He had just tested his theory on that bald donkey Zhunti, and his thoughts were confirmed. He knew that none of the Sages in the heavens could do anything to Houtu, the future Ancestor of the Underworld Path.

Not even Hongjun!

Immediately, Chen Xuan's confidence surged.

This time, we've definitely got this!

The Wu clan's dire situation can be resolved!

"Senior, can you... really handle it? Those are two Hunyuan Sages, after all. If you can, perhaps we should try to reason with them!"

Feeling the immense and terrifying pressure from the Sages all around, Houtu's little heart pounded. Weighing the current situation, which was clearly unfavorable to the Wu clan, she advised him.

As the saying goes: Possess a valuable weapon, and the urge to kill arises!

Could Chen Xuan possibly listen to advice?

As per the requests of many readers, we are now launching a VIP member ad-free feature.

But to appease Houtu, Chen Xuan still waved his hand and said calmly, "Reason? We'll reason with them, of course!"

Hearing this, Houtu felt much more at ease.

"Junior Brother, what... what exactly is going on?"

Jieyin arrived and asked in astonishment upon seeing the injured Zhunti.

"This... I don't know... that Ancestor Witch Houtu is strange!"

Zhunti was equally bewildered, shaking his head repeatedly.

Although both of them had already attained Sagehood.

With a Sage's thought, they could glimpse the present, past, and future, and discern the destinies of all beings in heaven and earth.

Yet, they simply couldn't see through Houtu!

Furthermore.

They were not Hunyuan Sages on Hongjun's level!

"Houtu, if your Wu clan does not give us the West an explanation today, then no one can save you!"

The next moment, Jieyin, having received no answer, slowly cast his Sage dharma eye upon the graceful figure and spoke coldly.

Boom! Rumble!!

Each word was like a profound truth of the Great Dao, instantly generating immeasurable world-destroying power that descended fiercely!

In an instant, the myriad stars in the heavens shook violently, and ancient stars trembled and fell, stirring up immense waves.

It was as if in the next second, countless Wu clan beings were about to be annihilated!

"An explanation? I don't have one here!"

"If you want to fight, then fight! Why all this nonsense?!!!"

An explanation?

Chen Xuan was not about to humor them, speaking resolutely and challenging the Western Twin Sages in public!

Unparalleled dominance!

"..."

"..."

"..."

At this moment, heaven and earth fell into a profound silence!

All beings in heaven and earth, the Wu and Demon clans, heard this and were all greatly shocked.

The two Golden Crows sneered and mocked incessantly.

The Ancestor Witches wore expressions of disbelief, frozen like statues as they all looked towards Houtu, feeling incredibly surprised.

What the—

Why has Houtu's personality changed so drastically today?

She's completely abandoned her usual gentle and serene demeanor!

Seriously, is this really the same adorable, girl-next-door Houtu they used to know?

Why is she always ready to throw down now!

She's genuinely reckless!

But also, incredibly—awesome!!!

"⊙∀⊙!!!"

Seeing this, Houtu's tightly strung nerves finally snapped!

Didn't we agree to talk things through?

Why are we inviting Sages to battle now?

And not just one, but two Hunyuan Sages at once!

Houtu was instantly terrified by Chen Xuan's actions.

As everyone knew, the Wu clan was known as the most reckless in the Primordial Desolation.

But in Houtu's opinion.

Compared to Chen Xuan.

The Wu clan's recklessness was nothing!

They'd fight at the drop of a hat!

They'd get into a brawl without hesitation!

"Senior… didn't we agree to talk things through? Why is it like this now…"

Houtu asked tremblingly, her heart filled with worry.

After all.

The Wu clan was facing a great enemy.

The Demon clan and Heavenly Court hadn't even stopped fighting yet.

And now, they were inviting the two Western Sages to battle.

This was no laughing matter!

"Talk things through? Am I not talking things through with these two bald donkeys right now?"

"These two bald donkeys from the West plotted to have the Ten Golden Crows leave Tanggu, causing chaos in the Primordial Desolation, leading to widespread suffering and the deaths of countless innocent Wu clan members. They… deserve to die, and their deaths would be a mercy!"

"Alright, stop worrying. Just lie back, I'll carry you!"

Chen Xuan completely disregarded Houtu's concerns.

Plotting to have the Ten Golden Crows cause chaos in the Primordial Desolation?!!

Gasp!

What a juicy secret!

Houtu was stunned, her Dao heart trembling.

But before she could recover and ask for details.

The next moment, Chen Xuan, controlling her Dao body, took a step forward, shattering the void inch by inch.

With lightning speed, he rushed into the Ancestor Witch formation.

During this process, the Ten Great Demon Sages of the Heavenly Court, who were ordered to intercept Houtu, witnessed her unparalleled dominance in confronting a Sage. How could they dare to step forward and block her?

They even involuntarily, and in unison, moved aside to create a path!

Can't afford to offend them, absolutely can't afford to offend them at all!

Afterward, seeing the Ancestor Witches still stunned and gossiping, Chen Xuan didn't forget to quickly remind them, chiding, "Everyone, if not now, then when will you set up the Twelve Ancestral Gods Array!!!"

"Twelve Ancestral Gods, activate—"

"Pangu True Body, condense—"
