Jiang Haofeng did not stand on ceremony. He raised his hand and threw a punch, carrying immense force as it smashed toward Wuliang. Wuliang's eyes lit up, and his body abruptly expanded. In the blink of an eye, he became ten thousand zhang tall and met Jiang Haofeng's attack with a punch of his own.
The two fists collided, setting off a violent wave of air through the void. Jiang Haofeng staggered back three steps, while Wuliang retreated dozens of steps in succession.
With a single move, the difference between them was clear.
Clearly, Jiang Haofeng's physical strength still surpassed Wuliang's. Yet Jiang Haofeng was only at the late Golden Immortal Realm, while Wuliang's cultivation was even a notch higher than his.
A lower realm but greater combat power—this was the might of the complete Nine Revolutions Profound Art.
"Again!"
A sharp glint flashed through Wuliang's eyes. Battle intent surged around him, and bolstered by the Heaven-Battling Earth-Fighting Battle Intent, his combat power instantly soared as he charged at Jiang Haofeng.
Jiang Haofeng's fighting spirit was stirred as well, and he met him with a punch. The two giants fought in the void, every punch and kick carrying boundless power.
Neither used mysterious immortal arts nor powerful divine abilities. They relied solely on bodies tempered to the extreme. With the formidable physiques forged by the Nine Revolutions Profound Art as their foundation, the two seemed to become machines of war, every move fierce and brutal!
They lacked the profundity of divine abilities and techniques, yet the power they unleashed was no weaker—in fact, it far surpassed most divine abilities.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged nearly ten thousand moves on the earth. They remained evenly matched, with no victor decided. Wuliang grew more excited the longer he fought, battle intent rolling off him as his attacks became increasingly fierce.
Seeing that the time was about right, Jiang Haofeng unleashed a terrifying battle intent that defied Heaven and Earth, feared no living being, and slaughtered gods and immortals alike. He threw a thunderous punch, sending Wuliang flying backward like a cannonball before he crashed heavily into the ground.
Feeling the surging battle intent radiating from Jiang Haofeng, the Witch Clan Golden Immortals were astonished. That Heaven-Battling Earth-Fighting Battle Intent had probably reached the minor mastery stage. Within the Witch Clan, those who could usually comprehend it to minor mastery were Battle Witches at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm. Who would have thought Brother Jinlun was so formidable, comprehending it to minor mastery while still in the Golden Immortal Realm?
As expected of a genius capable of refining a complete profound art.
"Brother Jinlun is incredible!"
Wuliang, ten thousand zhang tall, came rushing over, his face filled with admiration.
"Let me offer Brother Jinlun another cup!"
The surrounding Witch Clan members immediately erupted in cheers, and Jiang Haofeng wore a broad smile as well.
In truth, Jiang Haofeng had already comprehended the Witch Clan's Heaven-Battling Earth-Fighting Battle Intent to major mastery, on the same level as ordinary Witch Clan Grand Luo Golden Immortals. The Great Dao was difficult to cultivate. Even the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book could not provide much help, and it had to be cultivated step by step.
But with Dharma and Divine Abilities, Jiang Haofeng's cultivation was exceptionally easy thanks to the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book. Under its enhancement, his comprehension increased enormously whenever he contemplated Dharma and Divine Abilities, making him a thousand or even ten thousand times faster than ordinary people.
Divine abilities that took others tens of thousands of years to cultivate could be mastered by Jiang Haofeng in just a few days.
The major mastery Heaven-Battling Earth-Fighting Battle Intent was one of Jiang Haofeng's trump cards. During his travels through the primordial world, he had never revealed it, displaying only the minor mastery level.
There were countless mighty beings in the primordial world, and danger lurked everywhere. He had to keep a few trump cards in reserve.
After displaying his strength, Jiang Haofeng and the Witch Clan members resumed drinking and exchanging cups, their gathering filled with merriment.
After three months together, Jiang Haofeng bid farewell to his Witch Clan friends, the brothers Tianliang and Wuliang, and set out on his journey home. Sage Nuwa would protect the human race for ten Yuan.
Once that time came, life for the human race would become difficult.
Jiang Haofeng had already traveled for five Yuan. It was time to return.
When they parted, Tianliang and Wuliang escorted him for a hundred thousand li. During five Yuan of traveling through the primordial world, these two were the only true friends Jiang Haofeng had made. The more people one knew, the greater one's karmic ties became. When Jiang Haofeng first began traveling through the primordial world, his goal had been simply to observe and do nothing else.
That was indeed what Jiang Haofeng had done at first. But later, as his knowledge grew, he became increasingly curious about the primordial world. Later generations' understanding of it was mainly focused on the periods of Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West. Little was mentioned about the great calamity between the Witches and Demons. Jiang Haofeng knew only of those top Great Divine Powers and the major events that changed Heaven and Earth.
As for everything else, Jiang Haofeng knew nothing at all.
But the fact that Great Divine Powers were called Great Divine Powers showed how extraordinary they were. Jiang Haofeng had traveled through the primordial world for five Yuan without encountering a single Quasi-Saint Great Divine Power.
Therefore, Jiang Haofeng needed a friend through whom he could learn about the primordial world. Thus, one Yuan earlier, he had become friends with Tianliang, a Lesser Witch who was likewise traveling through the primordial world.
The two traveled together for one Yuan and eventually neared Tianliang's tribe. Tianliang warmly invited him in, leading to the earlier scene.
"Brothers, there is no need to see me off any farther. We have already come a long way," Jiang Haofeng said, looking at the two forthright Witches.
"Very well, Brother Jinlun. We will stop here. The three of us are all Lesser Witches, with endless lifespans. Though the primordial world is vast, there will be a day when we meet again. I hope that by the time we do, all three of us will be Battle Witches!" Tianliang said solemnly.
"Brother Tianliang is right."
"Then I shall borrow Brother Tianliang's auspicious words."
"Brothers, the mountains are high and the rivers long. Until we meet again!"
Jiang Haofeng cupped his hands in salute. With a movement of his feet, he had already appeared ten thousand li away.
After leaving Tianliang's tribe, Jiang Haofeng immediately pushed his speed to the limit and raced toward the human race. Five Yuan of accumulation had given him the qualifications to change the human race. At the same time, after so much time multiplying, the human race had gained a certain foundation. Jiang Haofeng's first step toward changing them was about to begin.
Unlike on his journey here, Jiang Haofeng traveled at full speed on his return. Combined with the transformations of his various divine abilities, he could return to the human race in a hundred years.
As he sped onward, a terrifying pressure suddenly swept out, and the roar of magical power resounded through Heaven and Earth.
Jiang Haofeng instantly concealed his aura and slowly approached the area ahead without alerting either side in battle.
Once he saw the scene before him clearly, Jiang Haofeng, who had traveled for five Yuan, could not help widening his eyes.
Tens of thousands of living beings were locked in battle in the void. Three thousand were from the Witch Clan, while roughly ten thousand were demons. The two sides slaughtered one another, blood spraying everywhere as all manner of profound divine abilities collided in the void.
Jiang Haofeng looked carefully and saw that among the nearly ten thousand beings in the void, the weakest were all at the Mysterious Immortal Realm. There were no fewer than a thousand Golden Immortals, while nearly twenty Grand Unity True Immortals were fighting as well.
Most importantly, seven terrifying figures were fighting in the void. Six Demon Clan Grand Luo Golden Immortals were besieging a Witch Clan Great Witch.
Nearly ten thousand immortals were fighting in a chaotic mass, the battlefield stretching tens of thousands of li. The Witch Clan's baleful aura and the Demon Clan's Demonic Energy raged between Heaven and Earth, shaking the land without cease. The killing intent of both sides condensed without dispersing, gathering into a blood-red cloud in the sky!
Jiang Haofeng sucked in a cold breath. What a grand spectacle. Since his transmigration, aside from Nuwa creating humans and becoming a saint, nothing he had seen could compare to this.
But... hadn't the Demon Clan's experts all moved up to the Thirty-three Heavens? Why were they fighting the Witch Clan again?
"Xing Tian!"
"You have bullied the demons beyond measure!"
A red-robed Daoist roared. Opening his mouth, he sent endless scarlet flames sweeping forth. Heaven and Earth turned crimson as the boundless blaze surged toward Xing Tian.
Jiang Haofeng, who had been quietly watching from the side, instantly widened his eyes.
Xing Tian!
The god of war Xing Tian who had beheaded Haotian Shangdi! After traveling the primordial world for five Yuan, he had finally encountered a famous figure from its history.
"Feathered beast, stop your noise!"
Xing Tian swept his shield, instantly scattering the flames before him. The moment the flames were brushed aside, he brought down the axe in his other hand with brutal force. A tyrannical axe light cut across the sky, as though it would tear apart everything between Heaven and Earth.
The red-robed Daoist's eyes jumped. He no longer bothered maintaining his innate Dao body and immediately transformed into a scarlet phoenix, shooting a crimson divine radiance toward the axe.
At the same time, the other five Demon Clan Grand Luo Golden Immortals around him attacked together, blocking Xing Tian's strike.
"Your Phoenix Clan should be staying at the Immortal Volcano. You dare cause trouble for my Witch Clan? I'll chop you up today!"
"Come and die!"
A peerlessly tyrannical axe light flashed through the void, carrying an indescribable intent, as though it could split Heaven and Earth apart.
"Xing Tian, you are utterly shameless! Your Witch Clan ate my descendants, yet you still dare make false accusations!"
A Black Bear struck out with a claw. Rolling Demonic Energy rose up and attacked Xing Tian.
"Hmph, you Black Bear, stop making unreasonable trouble!"
"Your Heavenly Court has a whole host of demon gods. If we truly pursued the matter, what beast in the world would not be a descendant of your Demon Clan?"
"If none can be touched, what are my Witch Clan warriors supposed to eat?"
"How can they temper their bodies and cultivate profound arts without eating their fill?"
Xing Tian snorted coldly, killing intent surging in his eyes as he raised his hand and chopped out with another axe.
"You bully demons beyond measure!"
"You are utterly unreasonable!"
"You eat our descendants and kill our Demon Clan, yet you claim it is somehow our Demon Clan's fault!"
"This demon god will certainly teach you a lesson today!"
As soon as Xing Tian finished speaking, the six demon gods besieging him turned grim. Killing intent surged in each of their eyes as they unleashed all manner of powerful divine abilities at Xing Tian.
Xing Tian said nothing. With a raise of his hand, he used his shield to block the demon gods' attacks, then suddenly swung his axe and fiercely struck at them.
Killing intent churned in Xing Tian's eyes. These demons were truly troublesome. The warriors had hunted their prey themselves, only for the demons to come knocking afterward and claim the prey were their descendants. If they were descendants, why had they not taken them to the Demon Court when they left? They had failed to take them away themselves, yet came seeking repayment after they were killed.
My Witch Clan is not so easily bullied either!
After both sides fought fiercely for tens of thousands of moves, Xing Tian found an opening and brought down his axe, tearing a bloody gash across the Black Bear's body.
Having gained the advantage, Xing Tian pressed relentlessly. The great axe in his hand swung again and again, and tyrannical axe lights rained down upon the Black Bear demon god. The other five demon gods' expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly moved to rescue him. Only after blocking the axe lights filling the sky did they prevent the Black Bear demon god from dying.
But after taking Xing Tian's axe strike, the Black Bear demon god no longer had much strength left to fight. The six had not been Xing Tian's match to begin with, and now that they were down one, they fell even further into disadvantage.
After barely holding on for several hundred moves, the six immediately gave the order to retreat.
The Demon Clan beings immediately abandoned their opponents and retreated toward the Demon Court. Once most of their army had withdrawn, the six attacked together, forcing Xing Tian back for an instant before vanishing from where they stood.
"Cowards!"
"Is this all your Demon Clan can do? Stay obediently cowering in your Demon Court and stop meddling in my Witch Clan's affairs. If you dare descend again, I'll chop you to pieces!"
"Warriors, gather the spoils and return to the tribe!"
"Yes!"
The Witch Clan members happily cleaned up the battlefield, hoisting the corpses of fallen demons onto their shoulders. These were all food, enough to feed the tribe for quite a while. Some were even demons at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, great nourishment that would be perfect for strengthening the little ones in the tribe.
Watching the Witch Clan members carry demon corpses as massive as mountains back to their tribe, Jiang Haofeng, hidden in the darkness, fell silent.
