Ming Xin Acts, Wrath of the Witch-Demon

The battle intensified to a white-hot degree, Sha Qi and Calamity Power nearly condensing into physical form, turning this stretch of heaven and earth into a true purgatory.

Ming Xin remained hidden in the Ninth Heaven, like a calm chess player, the invisible threads of Cause and Effect, good and evil, weaving ever more densely above the battlefield.

The fight between Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and the four Ancestral Witches remained deadlocked. The Chaos Bell's might was unmatched, but driving such a supreme treasure consumed immense power; Tai Yi's aura was no longer as vigorous as at the start.

Though Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and the other Ancestral Witches were suppressed, they relied on their formidable physical bodies and deep innate essence to launch frenzied attacks, trying to exhaust Tai Yi's Magic Power.

At that moment, a thread of "evil intent" and "impatience," subtly amplified by the law of Cause and Effect, took root in Zhu Rong's heart.

Having failed to break through for so long, and being suppressed by Tai Yi's spiritual treasure, his fury had already burned to its peak.

Though Gong Gong was slightly calmer, under the influence of the good-and-evil tide, his disgust and defiance toward the Demon Race and spiritual treasures were also magnified.

"Gong Gong! Aid me!" Zhu Rong suddenly roared. Instead of scattering his attacks, he condensed all his divine power into his fist, compressing the Heavenly God Fire to its extreme.

It transformed into a dark-red pillar of flame that pierced through the void, blasting straight at the Chaos Bell itself! He would break through with a single point!

Gong Gong understood instantly. Almost simultaneously, he summoned endless Innate Water Essence, shaping it into a ferocious, roaring black-water dragon.

It did not attack Tai Yi but coiled around the Chaos Bell, unleashing its full power of extreme cold and corrosive force, trying to temporarily restrain the bell's defense!

The other two Ancestral Witches seized the moment, combining their wind and thunder powers into one strike, supporting Zhu Rong and Gong Gong!

This combined attack was far more powerful than anything before!

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's expression shifted slightly. The Chaos Bell boomed with a great sound, chaotic currents surging wildly as it clashed head-on with the concentrated fourfold assault!

Boom--!!!

At the terrifying core of the explosion, space shattered like glass, inch by inch, forming a brief black hole!

The Chaos Bell's light curtain shook violently. Tai Yi's body trembled sharply, and a trickle of golden blood seeped from the corner of his mouth! Though he had blocked the attack, he had suffered some shock.

Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and the other two Ancestral Witches were also forced back by the recoil, their auras thrown into disorder.

Now!

High above the Ninth Heaven, Ming Xin's eyes blazed with sharp light!

What he had been waiting for was precisely this fleeting gap after the clash of forces, when old power was spent and new power not yet born! It was also the moment when the battlefield's Sha Qi had been pushed to its peak!

He hid no longer!

With a single step, his form emerged from the void, appearing directly above the explosion's core!

His green robe billowed. The vast, overwhelming pressure of Half-step Primordial Unity was released without reserve, like an invisible boulder dropped into boiling oil, instantly overpowering all the battle cries and energy explosions on the field!

Judgment, Slaughter, Mortal World, Cause and Effect, Good and Evil... several powerful and unique law auras spread outward from him like halos, enveloping the entire battlefield!

"That's... Ming Xin?!"

"What does he intend to do?!"

Di Jun, Tai Yi, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and all the great beings who sensed this aura were shaken to their cores, their movements freezing for a moment!

Ming Xin ignored all the shocked gazes. He formed hand seals, invoking his newly comprehended supreme divine ability--

"Seal of Good and Evil Life and Death!"

His left hand represented "Good" and "Life," radiating a warm, pure white light, filled with endless Life Force and blessings;

His right hand represented "Evil" and "Death," shrouded in dead, pitch-black currents, entwined with the terrifying aura of finality and karmic fire!

The twin seals did not attack either side directly. Instead, as he pressed his hands downward, they merged into the boiling Tribulation Sha Qi and the laws of heaven and earth below, which had been stirred to their peak by the ultimate clash!

Hum--!

Heaven and earth fell silent!

Then, centered on the Sorcerer-Demon battlefield, an indescribably vast wave of law spread instantly across billions of miles, like ripples on water!

Every soldier of the Sorcerer and Demon races still fighting, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a tremor deep in their souls!

Those heavy with karma and countless killings, whether Sorcerer or Demon, had invisible "karmic fire" ignite on their bodies. Before they could even scream, they were reduced to ashes in agony, their souls scattered!

Those who still harbored a trace of good intent, or had killed less, felt a gentle force sweep through their bodies and minds, dispelling some of the Sha Qi's corrosion and even slightly healing their wounds!

This was not direct slaughter. It was invoking the laws of Heavenly Dao, using the Tribulation Sha Qi, to carry out an indiscriminate judgment and reckoning based on one's own "good and evil karma"!

"Pfft!"

"Ah--!"

A vast swath of the battlefield emptied in an instant! Three or four out of ten had fallen!

Even the peak combatants—the Ancestral Witches, the Demon Emperor, and the Demon Saints—were affected to varying degrees! Those burdened with karma, like some Demon Saints and the bloodthirsty Ancestral Witch She Bi Shi, all felt their Primordial Spirits burn with pain and their auras waver!

"Ming Xin! How dare you!!" Di Jun's eyes split with rage, his roar shaking heaven and earth.

"Interfering in the Sorcerer-Demon war, you seek death!" Di Jiang also bellowed in fury.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi wiped the golden blood from his lips, his gaze icy as it locked onto Ming Xin. The Chaos Bell rang out again, dripping with killing intent.

Ming Xin hung in the air, bearing the weight of all that fury and murderous glare, his expression still calm. He spoke slowly, his voice not loud but clearly reaching the ears of every survivor:

"The slaughter has reached this point, karma is overwhelming. I walk on behalf of Heaven to purge these karmic obstacles. This battle is over."

He was not helping either side. He was forcibly ending this war that had created boundless slaughter, and seizing the opportunity.

Using this sea of karma and Sha Qi as fuel, he would verify his path of Good and Evil and Judgment, while also claiming the supreme merit of ending a Tribulation!

The first great war between Sorcerers and Demons, due to Ming Xin's earth-shattering intervention, had veered into an entirely unknown direction.
