"Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array, activate—!!!"

At the pinnacle of the ancient starry sky, Houtu's black hair whipped wildly like a waterfall, her voice shattering the heavens and shaking the universe.

Following her cry, the other Ancestor Witches snapped back to attention and responded, their battle qi surging through the ages, shaking the star rivers.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Before long, drops of Ancestor Witch essence blood leaped out like crimson ribbons, hanging high in the firmament, weaving a bloody curtain across this starry sky!

It enveloped the heavens and earth, blocking out the sun and moon, rendering the universe colorless!

A glance at the starry expanse.

One could see flames burning the sky and boiling the sea...

Towering black waters surging...

Every inch of space shattering...

Ice cones falling like rain...

Earth, wind, water, and fire churning...

Time stagnating...

The auras of twelve gods and demons intertwined with strands of law, their immense pressure like an abyss or a vast sea, shaking heaven and earth.

"Boom—"

Before long, the universe was in chaos, the starry sky trembled, and within the array's core, surging chaotic energy condensed into the phantom of a god-demon, wielding a giant axe, reaching to the heavens and earth!

Though it only possessed faint traces of the world-opening pressure, it felt as if...

It could annihilate this world at any moment!

The Pangu True Body, has descended!

The Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array has been formed!

Its terrifying might and grand spectacle were in no way inferior to the Two Sages of the West!

Even...

Surpassing them!

At this moment, all beings in heaven and earth prostrated themselves in fear, and countless members of the Demon clan felt dread.

Only the countless Wu clan warriors on the battlefield felt their blood boil, looking up at the phantom of their father god, their roars of divine and demonic voices filling them with confidence.

Even when facing Sages, the myriad sons and daughters of the Wu clan showed no fear!

Even the Sanqing, who always prided themselves on being the true descendants of Pangu, felt this presence and couldn't help but become solemn and respectful.

They silently rose from their cushions and bowed slightly towards the direction of the Pangu True Body, offering their respect.

This was a reverence for the great god Pangu, originating from the depths of their bloodline!

Seeing this, the faces of the Two Sages of the West changed drastically. The Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree simultaneously bloomed with immeasurable golden light, pushing their Hun Yuan battle power to its peak, standing ready.

They dared not be the slightest bit negligent!

Even so.

They were still forced back several steps by the vast and terrifying Pangu pressure.

The composure and supreme majesty befitting Sages were completely gone at this moment!

"These Ancestor Witches... actually dare to challenge us, the Two Sages of the West? Truly a group of reckless fools who don't know the will of heaven!"

"Hmph, this is merely their last-ditch effort before death. Brother Jieyin, right now... only by breaking this Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array and severing the Wu clan's last hope will Houtu willingly transform into the cycle of reincarnation! In this way, it will also be a complete merit for our West!"

"Well said!"

Jieyin and Zhunti stood before the array, one seated on a golden lotus, the other holding the wonderful tree, their Sage majesty fully displayed.

Today, they witnessed the divine might of the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array, and the pressure of the Pangu True Body was comparable to that of a Hun Yuan Sage, which was indeed terrifying.

But...

The arrow was nocked, and there was no turning back!

Since Ancestor Witch Houtu was destined by heaven, they dared not act rashly.

However, at least breaking the Wu clan's only reliance—the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array—was feasible!

Breaking the array means breaking the situation!

"You bald donkeys of the West, do you dare to fight or not!!!"

Chen Xuan stood in the center of the array's eye, roaring his challenge, as if possessed by a god or demon, his battle intent surging.

Hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti, enduring the immeasurable and terrifying Pangu pressure, resolutely flashed into the array!

Rumble!

RUMBLE!!

A world-shattering battle thus erupted.

Inside the Chaos Purple Firmament Palace.

"The Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array has finally been set up..."

Hongjun took in everything, his expression growing as dark as water, and fell into a long silence.

He had originally thought that by advancing the progress of the Wu-Demon Calamity, he could force Houtu to manifest the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This would suppress the Underworld Path and force it into a deep slumber!

Once one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches was missing, the complete version of the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array could not be deployed!

In the end, both the Wu and Demon clans would be annihilated!

Then, he, Hongjun, could reap the benefits, have hope of merging with the Dao, and his path would be boundless!

But now...

Everything that had happened here had completely exceeded his expectations!

Among them, what Hongjun couldn't figure out no matter how hard he racked his brain was...

Why did Houtu, who had always been gentle and quiet, disliked conflict, and was not skilled in combat, act so out of character today?

She couldn't even be bothered to reason anymore!

She just started fighting at the slightest provocation!

Hongjun endured her daring to disgrace his face as Dao Ancestor, a Sage...

It was one thing that she didn't pay respects to a Sage...

Not only did she openly refute a Sage, but without a word, she deployed the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array and challenged the Two Sages of the West!

This script of the Primordial Desolation...

had completely gone off the rails!

This caused Hongjun's abacus beads to shatter and scatter all over the floor.

"Alas, since the Two Sages of the West have already become involved in the Calamity, let them be. If they can shatter the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array, cut off the Wu clan's retreat and reliance, and extinguish Houtu's thoughts, then... this could still be a way to break the deadlock!"

Perhaps due to overthinking, Hongjun seemed to have aged several years. In the end, he could only wave his hand helplessly and watch how things unfolded.

As he said.

As long as the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array was broken, then... it would be equivalent to breaking the deadlock!

However!

He never expected.

Hongjun had ultimately overestimated the Two Sages of the West.

And at the same time, underestimated the peerless power of the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array.

Looking down.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches challenged the Two Sages of the West, and after only a few hundred rounds.

The latter had already begun to show signs of defeat!

At first glance.

The Pangu True Body swung its axe, splitting the heavens and earth. Billions of miles of starry sky tore apart like paper, shattering inch by inch.

The Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus beneath Jieyin trembled incessantly. The defensive barrier formed by immeasurable golden light rapidly cracked like a spiderweb.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in Zhunti's hand scattered rays of light, brushing away everything. His arm was almost worn out from swinging, yet he still couldn't block the residual power of the axe wind that filled the sky!

Rolling, monstrous blood-fiend energy churned, blinding red light filled the sky, recounting the destructive truth of the Law of Strength!

Every swing of the Pangu True Body shook the heavens and earths of the Primordial Desolation, the four seas and eight desolate regions, and the nine heavens and ten earths, causing them to tremble madly!

It shook the Sage manifestations of Jieyin and Zhunti, causing them to become unstable. They could only retreat repeatedly, avoiding its sharp edge.

The power of the Divine Fiends and the vast holy light continuously intertwined and collided, filling the world with destructive shock!

Fighting to the very end.

The holy light of the Merit Golden Lotus beneath the Sage Jieyin's feet dispersed, making him sway precariously. His figure stumbled back repeatedly, his robes stained with mottled blood-red plum blossoms.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in Zhunti's hand almost slipped from his grasp, his hair was disheveled, his face was deathly pale, and his Sage's dignity was completely gone!

"Senior Brother, I can't hold on any longer! If it doesn't work, let's retreat?"

"Alas, alas, this Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array is indeed terrifying! For now, we must find another way! Retreat!"

Facing the peerless power of the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array, which far exceeded the expectations of Jieyin and Zhunti, they initially went from offense to defense. In the end, they were truly unable to cope and could only discuss temporarily avoiding its sharp edge.

What?

Fleeing from the battlefield, disregarding their Sage's reputation?

Speaking of which, the Two Sages of the West had been around for so long, when had they ever cared about their reputation?

To revitalize the West, they could abandon their faces!

With the decision made to retreat, Jieyin and Zhunti clapped their hands, then stepped onto the Big Dipper's celestial path, aiming to tread on the array's nodes and make a swift escape.

"Trying to leave now? Too late!!"

The Two Sages of the West wanted to retreat, but how could Chen Xuan allow them to have their way?

A sharp reprimand fell.

He decisively ignited the Ancestor Witch's essence blood, pushing the power of the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array to its absolute limit and unleashing the world-opening might of the Pangu True Body, intending to forcibly detain Jieyin and Zhunti!

Witnessing this scene.

All beings in heaven and earth were shocked!

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, chilling them to the bone and filling them with boundless dread.

"Senior Chen Xuan..."

Even Ancestor Witch Houtu, seeing the two Sage figures in the blood array looking so disheveled, couldn't help but gasp.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with admiration and reverence for Chen Xuan.

Only now.

Did she suddenly realize, belatedly.

So the Wu clan's Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Spirit Array was actually this powerful?

It was simply incredible!

No wonder Hongjun had plotted against the Wu clan, coaxing her to establish reincarnation so early!

So that's how it was, so that's how it was!

"Ancestor Witch Houtu, this seat had already decided to let bygones be bygones and did not wish to fall out with you. What more do you want?"

Unable to leave despite wanting to, with nowhere to flee, Zhunti became furious. His eyes widened in anger, and he roared in a deep voice.

"Let bygones be bygones? Don't want to fall out? Heh heh!"

"Today, if you two bald donkeys don't give the Wu clan an explanation, you're not leaving!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, directly retorting with overwhelming dominance.

An explanation?

What explanation?

They were mere ants!

How dare they demand an explanation from Sages?

Heh, ridiculous!

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti were stunned, completely bewildered.

It wasn't until Chen Xuan revealed the secret that they suddenly came to their senses—

"Stop pretending to be foolish!"

"Back then, if it weren't for you two thieving bald donkeys instigating the ten Golden Crows to leave the Tang Valley, causing ten suns to appear in the sky, burning the heavens and boiling the seas, scorching the earth, bringing ruin to all living beings, and plunging the Primordial Desolation into chaos, how could the Wu-Demon War have ignited? How could the Calamity of Heaven and Earth have erupted?"

RUMBLE—

Chen Xuan's words pierced the veil of heaven, instantly shaking the cosmos.

"⊙∀⊙!!!!"

"????"

As these words were spoken.

The two Golden Crows were completely unsettled.

Sage Nuwa's expression also turned solemn!
