"Twelve Capital Celestial Gods Array!"

"Primordial River-Luo Great Array!"

"Two of the Primordial Era's four great killing arrays have appeared at once."

"As expected of the great races that dominate the Primordial Era. Their strength is truly formidable!"

At this moment, both sides within the arrays had fought to the point of seeing red. They completely disregarded the other Great Divine Powers of the Primordial Era as they revealed their trump cards one after another.

The Pangu True Body remained the same as before, raising its hand and bringing down an axe.

From beginning to end, the Pangu True Body's attacks had never changed. Back and forth, it was always a single axe strike. Yet the power of that strike was truly immense; no amount of variation could withstand it.

Luo Hou's phantom gripped the God-Slaying Spear and wore the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Demonic Lotus above his head as he thrust his spear at the Pangu True Body.

The axe light swept past. The God-Slaying Spear in Luo Hou's hand shattered instantly, the World-Destroying Black Lotus's defense was effortlessly broken, and Luo Hou's phantom was cleaved into fragments!

With one axe strike, Luo Hou's phantom was annihilated. The vast axe light swept outward and slammed heavily into the array world.

Dense cracks appeared across the world.

Boom!

The entire world exploded into nothingness, and the dim River Diagram and Luo Book returned above Di Jun's head.

At this moment, blood flowed from Di Jun's seven orifices. His aura was weak, and he was severely wounded. The innate indestructible spiritual light of the River Diagram and Luo Book, both Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasures above his head, had dimmed considerably. Clearly, their origins had been damaged.

If they had not been Innate Spirit Treasures capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover on their own, the power of those two supreme treasures would likely have diminished.

For a moment, the eyes of every living being in the Primordial Era fell upon that towering figure in the void.

Worthy of Great God Pangu indeed. Even a phantom containing only a trace of his spiritual essence possessed such might. If Great God Pangu were still alive, what peerless bearing would he possess?

The Pangu True Body had appeared and broken through the defense of the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, with two axe strikes, injuring Eastern Emperor Taiyi. With three more strikes, it had shattered the Primordial River-Luo Great Array. The demon race had deployed every kind of Spirit Treasure and array, yet they had been no match at all!

After shattering the Primordial River-Luo Great Array with one axe strike, the Pangu True Body controlled by the Twelve Ancestral Witches in the void did not pause. It swung its axe again, and the vast axe light swept forth toward the pale-faced Di Jun.

Clang!

At the critical moment, the Chaos Bell cut through the void and blocked the axe light. The Chaos Bell spun rapidly in the air, with Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire circling around it.

With a crisp clang, the Chaos Bell was sent flying and plunged directly into the chaos, vanishing into the distance. Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who controlled the Chaos Bell from afar, felt an irresistible and terrifying force surge toward him. He spat out blood and was blasted tens of thousands of miles backward through the void before barely stabilizing himself.

The mana he had attached to the Chaos Bell had been scattered. If the Chaos Bell's true body had not absorbed the remaining force in that instant, Di Jun would likely have already died.

The Chaos Bell was, after all, an Innate Supreme Treasure, a treasure of the saintly level. Although Eastern Emperor Taiyi could not unleash its true power, that did not change its fundamental nature.

Given the Chaos Bell's sturdiness, even without Eastern Emperor Taiyi's mana sustaining it, that axe strike from Pangu's Phantom could not harm it in the slightest.

The Pangu True Body phantom formed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches could damage the origins of the River Diagram and Luo Book, but it could not damage the origin of the Chaos Bell.

A flash of golden light streaked through the void, and the Chaos Bell reappeared above Eastern Emperor Taiyi's head. Sun, moon, and stars gleamed upon it, while Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire encircled it. Within it, mountains and rivers, along with the myriad races of the Primordial Era, could faintly be seen. It had clearly suffered no damage whatsoever.

The treasure's origin was completely unharmed!

But Eastern Emperor Taiyi himself had already been injured and was no longer at his peak.

The Pangu True Body in the void raised the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe once more. Killing intent blazed in its eyes, originating from the Twelve Ancestral Witches. They were determined to wipe out the demon race here and eliminate all future trouble!

A heaven-piercing axe light swept across the void as the Pangu True Body unleashed its seventh strike. The vast axe light streaked through the sky, and its earth-rending sharpness descended upon the two of them.

The people of the Primordial Era sighed inwardly. Today, these two Demon Emperors, famed throughout the world, would likely perish here.

Just as the axe light was about to fall, every star in the sky suddenly brightened. In a blur, daytime turned into night, and brilliant stars appeared across the firmament.

Di Jun's eyes lit up at once. Regardless of the consequences, he activated the two supreme treasures above his head. The River Diagram and Luo Book shone brilliantly once more, erupting with their full power again at the cost of their origins!

In an instant, heaven and earth shifted as the stars moved. Countless stars appeared in the void, and dense stellar power filled the air.

In that hair's-breadth moment, a dazzling beam of starlight descended before Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. It shattered instantly, but countless stars in the heavens lit up at that moment. Billions of rays of starlight fell, and an unending torrent of stellar power descended, forming a curtain of starry light before them.

Though the axe light was powerful, it was still insufficient against the endless stellar power and was forcibly worn away in the void.

"Form the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array!"

Di Jun's voice echoed through the void. As his words fell, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi rose into the air, True Sun Fire surging around them as they connected with the Sun Star in the heavens. For a moment, the Sun Star grew tens of thousands of times brighter, its scorching radiance pouring over the earth as the temperature of the entire Primordial Era rose sharply.

At the same time, Xi He held the Taiyin Divine Sword and connected with the Moon Star. Pure moonlight scattered through heaven and earth. Sun and moon appeared together in the Primordial Era.

Next, three hundred and sixty-five Grand Luo Demon Gods held Great Zhou Tian Star Banners, connecting with the three hundred and sixty-five principal stars in the sky; fourteen thousand eight hundred Taiyi-realm Demon Kings held Small Zhou Tian Star Banners, connecting with the fourteen thousand eight hundred secondary stars in the heavens.

With the power of countless demon gods added to the mix, they connected with the stars across the sky.

The Sun Star and Moon Star served as the array's cores. The three hundred and sixty-five great star banners were its roots, the fourteen thousand eight hundred small star banners were its trunk, and the power of countless demon gods became its branches and leaves. Together, they formed an enormous array, drawing all the stars of the Zhou Tian into it.

The instant the great array formed, the Zhou Tian stars blazed with light, and endless stellar power descended. In that moment, the entire Primordial Era was shrouded beneath the Zhou Tian stars, while countless living beings stared in shock at the breathtaking sight rarely seen in the heavens.

"Kill!"

Di Jun's voice, thick with killing intent, rang out. Countless demons forming the array answered in unison. The array began to move, and in an instant, the stars shifted positions, the constellations revolved, and heaven unleashed its killing intent. Chilling murderous intent erupted from billions of stars, enveloping the entire Primordial Era in terrifying pressure.

For a moment, the entire Primordial Era fell silent. All living beings were filled with terror. The weak trembled, while the strong were shaken to their cores.

Whether Grand Luo or Quasi-Saint, all seemed incomparably insignificant before this power.

Perhaps only those seven could face this vast heavenly might head-on in the entire Primordial Era.

Billions of stars shifted, and the sky seemed to transform into a brilliant river of stars. Endless stellar power condensed into a long blade.

The long blade descended like a meteor. The Pangu True Body roared and swung its axe once again, unleashing a heaven-piercing axe light that crashed down.

Boom!

The stellar river blade collided with the Heaven-Splitting Axe Light. In an instant, a soundless roar rang throughout heaven and earth, the void shattered, Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire re-formed, and endless chaos spread outward.

The entire Primordial Era shook without end. The earth surged like waves, mountain ranges collapsed, the ground split apart, towering waves rose across the Four Seas, wind and thunder rolled through the heavens, and endless chaotic energy came flooding in.

For a moment, the entire world trembled as though the apocalypse had arrived.

"Kill!"

The killing intent in Di Jun's eyes did not diminish. The Zhou Tian stars revolved, immeasurable starlight descended, and another stellar river blade condensed in the void. It fell like lightning.

The Heaven-Opening Divine Axe in the Pangu True Body's hand swung once more, and a vast axe light capable of Heaven Opening Earth Splitting swept forth.

The two attacks annihilated each other in the void. The heaven and earth of the Primordial Era shook, dense cracks appeared across the earth, and the sky seemed to turn into a spiderweb. The entire Primordial Era World dimmed, as though it might return to chaos at any moment.

In the minds of some ancient beings who had survived the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Calamity, scenes of heaven collapsing and earth splitting surfaced once more. Could the Primordial Era truly shatter again today?

Above Shouyang Mountain, the enormous Taiji Diagram floated in the void, instantly stabilizing the trembling, eternal Primordial Era earth. Above Kunlun Mountain, the Pangu Banner appeared, and endless Saintly Might swept forth, immediately fixing the earth in place.

Over the Eastern Sea, endless clear light spread out. An azure treasure sword hung between heaven and earth, calming the monstrous waves in an instant. The sea became as smooth as a mirror, without the slightest ripple.

A great cauldron appeared in the sky. The shattered heavens were restored, and the surging power of chaos was suppressed.

In the west, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit hung in the void. Endless radiant light shone forth, golden rays rising one after another and instantly suppressing the trembling earth.

With the intervention of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, the heaven and earth of the Primordial Era became stable once more.

Yet neither side in battle paid any attention to their surroundings. Killing intent filled their eyes. Vast stellar power continued to descend. After eight consecutive axe strikes, the increasingly illusory Pangu True Body radiated profound light as endless baleful energy gathered toward the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe in its hand. A razor-sharp aura spread from the axe.

Terrifying pressure swept outward. Even with saints suppressing heaven and earth, the void for billions of miles around their battlefield continued to tremble without end.

Suddenly, a flash of profound light streaked through the sky, and the Pangu True Body standing in the void was directly dispersed. The mysterious Dao essence of breaking all techniques with a single force split into twelve distinct Dao essences and entered the bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

The Pangu True Body was directly dispersed. The Twelve Ancestral Witches went limp and collapsed to the ground, each of them pale-faced and weak in aura.

They had just formed the Pangu True Body and unleashed eight consecutive axe strikes, driving Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi back repeatedly. No matter what methods the demon race used, they had been unable to harm them in the slightest.

But all of that came at a price. The Pangu True Body's power had come entirely from the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Those eight consecutive strikes had greatly damaged their vitality. Without tens of thousands of epochs, they would never fully recover.

On the other side, the instant the profound light appeared, the connection between the demon race and the Zhou Tian stars was severed. The endlessly gathering starlight in the void stopped at once, the stars of the heavens returned to their positions, and the chilling killing intent vanished completely!

The half-formed stellar river blade also dissipated.

The great array collapsed. The River Diagram and Luo Book, their spiritual light dimmed to the extreme, floated above Di Jun's head. Their innate indestructible spiritual light had faded, and their aura had sunk to its lowest point.

The River Diagram and Luo Book as they were now could hardly be believed to be Low-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

Their Origin Power was nearly exhausted. No one knew how long they would need to be nurtured before they could fully recover.

A pair of indifferent eyes appeared above the boundless firmament. The instant their owner appeared, the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Master!"

"Mm."

Ancestor Hongjun responded, then turned his gaze toward the witch and demon races. "I will not interfere in the affairs of the Primordial Era, but you must not destroy its heaven and earth!"

"We respectfully obey the Dao Ancestor's decree!"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Di Jun all bowed at once.

Seeing them nod, the Primordial Era World returned to calm. The eyes above the firmament faded away, and in an instant, the vast pressure that had blanketed heaven and earth also vanished.

All living beings in the Primordial Era bowed respectfully and saw the Dao Ancestor off.

With merely one beam of profound light, he had dispersed the Pangu True Body formed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, severed the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, and returned the Zhou Tian stars to their proper positions. Before Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the foundations the two races possessed that could rival saints could be destroyed with a casual gesture!

This was the Dao Ancestor's strength, the strongest being in the Primordial Era!

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was the foremost person beneath the saints in the Primordial Era, while Dao Ancestor Hongjun was the foremost person in the Primordial Era. Whether beneath the saints or above them, he was indisputably number one!
