Against the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation

"Are the Witch and Demon Races fighting again?"

Ao Changsheng looked at the turbulent archaic stars in the sky and silently counted.

Was this the forty-sixth or forty-seventh time the two races had fought?

That was right, fought.

Every few hundred thousand years, the Twelve Ancestral Witches summoned the true body of "Pangu" and fought the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

It had happened so many times that Ao Changsheng no longer wanted to call it a war.

As for the battles, large and small, in which the Witches and Demons did not use the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation and the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation...

Forget Ao Changsheng-even the two races themselves had lost count of how many times they had fought.

That showed just how fiercely the Witch and Demon Races had been fighting in the Primordial World.

But as Ao Changsheng gazed up at the brilliant starry sky of the Primordial World, he wondered what any of this had to do with him. The only reason he kept count whenever the two races went to war...

Was that when the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation began to operate, the countless stars in the Primordial World's sky moved along with it.

Ao Changsheng could never tire of looking at that dazzling starry sky.

But...

Ao Changsheng watched the countless points of starlight drawing closer and closer through the sky, the appreciation in his eyes vanishing.

"Honestly, why can't they learn their lesson?" Ao Changsheng did not even need to look to guess what was happening.

Outside the Dao field!

An incarnation of Ao Changsheng materialized out of thin air. He looked up at the starry scroll covering his entire Dao field, hundreds of millions of miles across, without the slightest change in expression.

"Dijun!"

Ao Changsheng's voice rang out. It was not loud, yet it seemed to echo throughout heaven and earth.

Within the starry scroll, countless stars shone brilliantly. Dijun stepped out of it and looked down from on high at Ao Changsheng over the sea.

"Daluo of the Dragon Race, I admit you're strong, but today is the day you and the one behind you die!"

Dijun's low voice reached Ao Changsheng's ears.

"You think you're worthy?" Ao Changsheng sneered at Dijun above him. If Hongjun had not intervened in secret last time...

That strike of his would have kept both of them there for good.

"Hmph." Dijun's gaze immediately turned cold. This was the first time anyone had mocked him so bluntly.

"Activate the formation!"

Dijun gave the order.

In the starry scroll behind him, countless members of the Demon Race waved the star banners in their hands, and the countless stars in the Primordial World's sky lit up.

Brilliant starlight illuminated heaven and earth. Everything for hundreds of millions of miles around instantly became a world of starlight, the domain of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

Yet as Dijun watched the scene before him, his expression grew colder.

The proper way to use the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation was to drag the enemy into the formation's space, cut them off from Spiritual Qi, and then use the archaic stars to attack them.

But when they first activated the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, they had already tried to pull Ao Changsheng's vast Dao field into the formation's space.

They had failed.

Just what methods did the Dragon Race use here? Dijun murmured inwardly.

Even now, he still believed that this vast expanse of heaven and earth before him was where the Dragon Race lived in seclusion.

Rumble!

Enormous illusory archaic stars slowly emerged before the starry scroll, countless beams of starlight flickering around them. All of them shot toward Ao Changsheng below.

As beam after beam of starlight streaked past, even Ao Changsheng, the one under attack, had to admit that the sight was dazzling and magnificent.

"All flash and no substance!"

Ao Changsheng snorted and abruptly revealed his true form as a white dragon. His immense body was nearly as large as the archaic stars themselves.

Roar!

Ao Changsheng raised his head and let out a long roar. Black and white swirled through his dragon eyes as he gazed at the countless stars in the sky.

This time, unlike before, he was not merely an incarnation. Using the Dao of the World, Ao Changsheng directly connected himself to Jianmu, which had become the World Tree within that Middle Thousand World.

Under the World Tree's control, the power of the entire Middle Thousand World was bestowed upon him.

Feeling the formidable power within him, Ao Changsheng slowly closed his eyes.

Eye of the Candle Dragon!

When its eyes closed, darkness fell; when they opened, there was light!

In an instant, the countless shining stars were swallowed by darkness.

The countless beams of starlight that had shot forth also dwindled away. Before they had crossed even half the distance, they too were swallowed by the profound darkness.

"What's going on..."

"Why did the sky suddenly go dark?"

Within the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, countless demons and demon gods panicked, each staring fearfully at the darkness around them.

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation was a formation that controlled the stars. Where countless stars gathered, their light could rival even the great sun, but now...

"Don't panic!" At the center of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, Taiyi bellowed and waved the sun banner in his hand with all his might.

The Sun Star within the starry scroll immediately blazed with light, dispelling the darkness.

But...

The profound darkness around them did not merely swallow light. It swallowed sound and Law Power as well.

The light radiating from the Sun Star had traveled less than a thousand miles before the darkness swallowed it completely.

"My Law Power has frozen."

"Mine too!"

"My body... My body's frozen."

Countless members of the Demon Race trembled in the darkness. Their terrified screams vanished before traveling even ten meters.

The fear brought by the darkness settled over every demon's heart.

"Supreme Yin Starlight!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out, accompanied by a wash of cool moonlight from the Primordial World's starry sky.

On the Supreme Yin Star, the two Supreme Yin goddesses, Changxi and Wangshu, were channeling the star with all their might, casting its light into the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

The moonlight was not particularly bright, nor was it as dazzling as the light of the Sun Star, but it easily dispelled the surrounding darkness and illuminated the entire Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

"This is..."

"The light of the Supreme Yin Star?"

Above the sea, Ao Changsheng kept his eyes tightly shut, yet raised his head toward the Primordial World's starry sky, as though he could see the enormous Supreme Yin Star.

Ao Changsheng was slightly surprised.

Indeed, at night, the light of the Supreme Yin Star was the only light that could illuminate the darkness.

But...

Ao Changsheng slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.

In an instant, the pitch-black night became as bright as day, and blinding light seemed to fill every corner.

The members of the Demon Race, who had only just calmed down thanks to the gentle moonlight, began screaming madly once more.

In direct contrast to the darkness last time, the blinding light shone straight into every demon's eyes.

Even shutting their eyes tight and covering them could not keep the piercing light out.

At the same time... a terrifying heat swept across the entire world.

The demons, especially those with fur, turned directly into balls of flame.

"Damn it!"

As a Great Sun Golden Crow, Dijun naturally had no fear of the light or the heat, but that did not mean the other demons could withstand them.

He could clearly sense that even the Daluo demon gods were suffering terribly beneath the daylight.

"Close the formation!" Dijun roared.

They had chosen to spread the formation diagram out and attack because they had been unable to draw the vast Dao field into the formation's space.

But who could have imagined that spreading out the formation diagram would make it easier for the enemy to attack?

At the center of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, Eastern Emperor Taiyi closed the formation the moment Dijun shouted.

The three hundred and sixty-five archaic stars vanished, and the countless points of starlight, barely noticeable in the daylight, also dispersed.

The starry scroll appeared in the sky once more. This time, with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation closed, the countless stars exerted their power together, holding the terrifying daylight firmly at bay.

Inside the formation diagram, Dijun stared at the daylight outside, his face grim and his heart filled with disbelief.

He admitted that the Daluo of the Dragon Race outside was powerful, powerful enough to contend with him, a One-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sage, without falling behind.

But... how many years had it been?

His opponent could now face the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation as a single dragon.

After all, the reason he had brought the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation this time was not for this Daluo of the Dragon Race.

It was for the mighty figure who, last time, had nearly killed both him and his brother with a single strike without even showing himself.

"Damn it, wasn't the Dragon Race supposed to have declined?"

Dijun was practically going mad.

He had never imagined that a race that had fought others nearly to extinction in the last epoch could still have such a terrifying existence left.

Their Demon Race had deployed almost the strength of their entire race to set up the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, yet a single dragon had beaten it.

Your Dragon Race has such terrifying methods and such powerful members-how in the world did you lose in the last epoch?!
