The questioning from Ming Xin's Three Bodies, laden with great momentum and Cause and Effect, was like ice water splashed into boiling oil, stirring up a violent reaction.
Yet it failed to truly extinguish the towering battle intent of the Witch and Demon Clans, which had long been ignited by the Killing Intent of the Tribulation and their blood feud.
Di Jun snorted coldly at those words. The power of the Myriad Stars Array still surged around him as his sharp gaze turned toward Ming Xin.
With the pride and unquestionable authority of an emperor, he said, "Hmph! Junior Ming Xin, stop spouting alarmist nonsense here!
"When did the affairs of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court become something you could point fingers at? The Primordial World has been damaged and countless lives devastated, but that is an unavoidable price for achieving hegemony!
"Once my Heavenly Court unifies the Primordial World and takes command of heaven and earth, we will naturally restore the earth veins, remake the mountains and rivers, and compensate all living beings! This is the righteous path of heaven and earth. Why do you need to say another word?"
His words were filled with confidence and a vision for the future, casually dismissing the slaughter before them as a "necessary price."
"Pah!"
Di Jiang laughed in fury, his voice clanging like metal and iron, brimming with contempt and savagery. "Di Jun! You three-legged mangy bird dare speak of ruling the Primordial World?
"The Primordial World was formed from Father God Pangu's body. It is the home of us Witch Clan! So what if we smash a few things in our own home?! Do we need to explain ourselves to a feathered beast like you?"
He then turned his wild gaze toward Ming Xin, revealing naked cruelty born of the ancient wilderness. "As for those living beings of the Primordial World? They are merely our blood food!
"The strong prey on the weak; it is the law of nature! Have you ever seen a hunter apologize to his prey?!"
Di Jiang's words fully displayed the Witch Clan's creed of "strength above all" and their belief that they were Pangu's direct lineage. They regarded all things as mere beasts of burden, without the slightest mercy.
"Now," Di Jiang's voice suddenly turned harsh as the Space Law around him violently fluctuated, "it is time to settle the score for your attack on the sons of my Witch Clan!"
Before his words had faded, he suddenly swung out a claw!
He did not attack Ming Xin's body directly. Instead, he took control of all the space around Ming Xin!
Crack! Crack!
The void where Ming Xin stood instantly filled with countless crisscrossing black fissures, like a shattered mirror!
Every fissure was an incomparably sharp spatial blade, silently slicing and grinding toward Ming Xin's Three Bodies from all directions!
This was the ultimate application of the Space Law, enough to annihilate both the primordial spirit and Dao Body of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
The moment Di Jiang made his move, it was like sounding the horn of attack!
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and the other peak experts, already burning with rage, erupted almost simultaneously once more!
The Chaos Bell shook the universe, Heavenly God Fire burned through the void, and Innate Water Essence transformed into colossal dragons... Even more violent and concentrated attacks than before surged toward Ming Xin like a world-destroying torrent!
They wanted to use their actions to tell this West-born junior, who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, that no outsider could criticize the affairs of the Witches and Demons! Anyone who interfered would face only death!
Faced with this suddenly escalating encirclement, fueled by the wrath of the strongest powers on both sides of the Witches and Demons, the eyes of Ming Xin's Three Bodies instantly became incomparably sharp.
He knew that warnings were useless now. The Witch and Demon Clans had long been blinded by the Killing Intent of the Tribulation and racial hatred, plunging into a frenzy where neither side would rest until the other was dead.
"Since that is the case..." A cold glint flashed through Ming Xin's main body's eyes. "Then experience for yourselves what it means for karma to backlash and judgment to descend!"
He no longer tried to mediate. Instead, he would rely on his own strength to forcibly interrupt this war, even if he had to do so in a more violent manner!
Facing Di Jiang's space-cutting attack, which could shred stars apart, as well as the destructive combined assault from Tai Yi, Zhu Rong, and the others that followed close behind,
the auras of Ming Xin's Three Bodies suddenly merged, then instantly split apart again, displaying an unfathomably profound response.
The Past Self stepped forward, and the aura of the Mortal World around him surged out like a boiling sea! "The myriad spans of the Mortal World, karma like a tide!"
Countless fine threads of Cause and Effect and tides of good and evil were drawn forth and manifested through his Red Dust Great Dao! They did not defend directly, but instead reflected and guided like a mirror!
Some of the spatial blades flying toward him, upon touching the fortune of the Mortal World, seemed to slash into the joys and sorrows, loves and hatreds of countless living beings, causing their trajectories to become chaotic.
Their power was steadily worn away by the tangled will of all living beings.
Part of Zhu Rong's Heavenly God Fire was even stirred by a trace of his own karma, born from his violent and irritable nature. Though the flames remained fierce, they faintly showed signs of backlashing against their master!
The Future Self was even stranger. Rather than taking the attacks head-on, he held the Fate Compass as his body became illusory and uncertain.
It was as though he existed simultaneously within countless future branches of time. "Cause and Effect shifts, Fate is ever-changing!"
With a flick of his fingers, the chains of the Myriad Stars Array and Gong Gong's colossal black-water dragon, which had enveloped him, underwent an extremely subtle yet crucial deviation in their trajectories as they neared him!
The star chains and the giant dragon did not entirely miss, but they collided and interfered violently with one another, unleashing an even more chaotic energy storm that instead partially canceled out their respective power!
This was the ultimate application of Cause and Effect and Fate—creating possibility from impossibility!
The main body, meanwhile, directly faced the core attacks—Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's Chaos sword qi and the core power of the Myriad Stars Array controlled by Di Jun!
The light of judgment flared in his left eye, while Five Elements Cycle Chaos churned in his right! "Five Elements reversal, Chaos returns to origin! Sword of Judgment, slash!"
The Five Elements Chaos Pagoda shook thunderously. What descended from it was no longer Five-Colored Divine Light, but a more primordial and violent current of Chaos.
Like a barrier from the dawn of creation, it forcibly blocked the sharp edge of the Chaos sword qi!
At the same time, he raised two fingers like a sword, using his perfected Great Dao of Killing as the foundation and merging it with the newly born Law of Judgment.
He condensed it into a formless, intangible Sword of Judgment that radiated an icy will of judgment, then fearlessly slashed it at the condensed core power of the Myriad Stars Array!
This strike was not a contest of whose Magic Power was more profound. Instead, it directly judged the "karma" and "sin" of triggering the Tribulation and causing boundless slaughter!
Screech—!
There was no earth-shattering explosion. The vast power of the Myriad Stars Array suddenly stagnated the instant it was struck by the Sword of Judgment, like a punctured balloon.
Its circulation froze for an instant! It was as though the very "legitimacy" of its existence had been questioned at the level of the Heavenly Dao!
Ming Xin's Three Bodies each displayed their divine abilities and, in that critical instant, barely neutralized the encirclement launched by the strongest powers of the Witches and Demons!
Though it appeared somewhat strenuous, the auras of the Past Self and Future Self had both become slightly disordered, while the main body's face had turned pale.
The expenditure had clearly been immense, but he had ultimately relied on his unique laws and the foundation of Half-step Primordial Unity to withstand the attack head-on!
This scene left every observer utterly aghast!
"He... he actually blocked it?!"
"He simultaneously withstood Di Jiang's space-cutting attack, Tai Yi's Chaos Bell, Di Jun's Myriad Stars Array, and the divine abilities of several Ancestral Witches?! How is that possible?!"
"What kind of method was that? He could actually stir karma and shift Cause and Effect?!"
The expressions of Di Jun, Tai Yi, Di Jiang, and the other peak experts became incomparably ugly. Their combined attack had actually been taken by a junior. It was simply a monumental humiliation!
At the same time, Ming Xin's strange and unpredictable methods, which directly targeted karma and Cause and Effect, filled them with intense apprehension.
Ming Xin forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi as the auras of his Three Bodies linked together once more. He knew he could not give them another chance to launch a combined attack. He had to take the initiative and disrupt their rhythm!
His gaze locked onto Di Jiang, who had been the most arrogant in his words and had regarded all living beings as blood food!
"Stubborn fool, treating living beings like weeds! Today, I will make an example of you first!"
The Dao rhythms of the main body, Past Self, and Future Self instantly resonated. The system core operated beyond its limit, driving their power to its utmost extreme!
"Seal of Good and Evil Life and Death—Judgment Mode!"
A massive seal of light, fused with the powers of Slaughter, judgment, good and evil, and Cause and Effect, condensed above him!
One half of the seal was pure white, containing a blessing for "good" and a deprivation of "life"; the other half was pitch-black, entwined with judgment upon "evil" and the summoning of "death"!
The seal did not strike directly at Di Jiang. Instead, it locked onto the immense karma around him, so dense it was nearly impossible to dissolve, accumulated from treating all things as blood food and committing endless slaughter!
"Suppress!"
With a cold shout from Ming Xin, the Seal of Good and Evil Life and Death transformed into a stream of light. Ignoring the distance through space, it imprinted directly upon Di Jiang's intangible karma itself!
Di Jiang's expression changed drastically. He felt a terrifying crisis descend from the depths of his soul, one that concerned the very foundation of his existence!
He frantically activated the Space Law, attempting to escape and isolate himself, but the Seal of Good and Evil Life and Death seemed to have locked onto the very "concept" of his existence—the Heavenly Dao's "reckoning" for his actions. He could not evade it completely!
"Roar—!"
Di Jiang let out a roar of pain and fury. The space around him twisted violently, and wisps of black flames suddenly ignited upon his incomparably powerful Ancestral Witch true body!
That was Karmic Fire! Though not fatal, it instantly weakened his aura considerably, and his control over the Space Law became noticeably sluggish!
Strike while he was down and take his life!
Ming Xin gave the other Ancestral Witches and Demon Emperors no chance to rescue him. The main body wielded the formless Sword of Judgment, the Past Self drew upon Mortal World karma to disrupt him, and the Future Self plucked the Strings of Fate to create an opening.
The three joined forces, transforming into a destructive stream of light that stabbed directly toward Di Jiang, whose movements had slowed due to the backlash of Karmic Fire!
"Big Brother, watch out!" Zhu Jiuyin cried out in alarm, trying to accelerate time to save him.
"Stop him!" Di Jun and Tai Yi roared at the same time, crazily attacking Ming Xin's main body in an attempt to besiege Wei and rescue Zhao.
But Ming Xin ignored them completely, concentrating all his power at a single point as the Sword of Judgment carried the will to bring all things to their Terminus.
He swore to slay this foremost Ancestral Witch, who regarded all living beings as blood food, on the spot as a warning to the rest!
Because of Ming Xin's incomparably fierce counterattack and targeted judgment, the battlefield's situation instantly reversed once again, entering an even more dangerous and unpredictable stage!
