Xihe Arrives! The Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation

"How treacherous of the Eastern King Duke!"

In the Primordial World, at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

Within the Witch Race's stronghold, the Twelve Ancestral Witches gathered to watch the battle in the East Sea.

"He struck while Dijun, Taiyi, and the hundreds of millions of demons were still shaken by the Eye of the Heavenly Dao and hadn't had time to recover from their injuries or restore their Law Power. What a treacherous move by the Eastern King Duke."

Shebishi, the Ancestral Witch of Poison, frowned.

"He only dared strike when they were vulnerable. The actions of a petty villain! The Eastern King Duke is no cause for concern..." Zhurong said disdainfully from the side.

"No. The Eastern King Duke may be treacherous, but he's definitely no simple figure," Zhu Jiuyin said, shaking his head.

"That's an army of hundreds of millions of rogue immortals. Even if our Witch Race wanted to quickly gather hundreds of millions of witches to attack the Demon Race, I'm afraid we couldn't do it as fast as the Eastern King Duke."

"Besides, don't forget that this is right outside the Daoist sanctum of that mighty Senior Changsheng."

"The Demon Race was just taught a lesson by that mighty figure. Being treacherous alone isn't enough to seize this moment and strike while they're down."

"The boldness it takes is beyond ordinary people," Zhu Jiuyin said gravely.

The Ancestral Witches around him were taken aback and fell into thought.

"Indeed. After witnessing that battle between Senior Changsheng and the Demon Race, I would never choose this moment to strike outside Senior Changsheng's Daoist sanctum."

"No, I wouldn't even think of doing such a thing." After a moment's thought, Houtu was the first to nod in agreement.

The other witches nodded as well. Much as they hated to admit it, when they thought about it, they found that they truly didn't have the Eastern King Duke's nerve.

Gazing at the battle in the East Sea, Dijiang pondered for a moment, then rose to his feet and called out, "Brothers, sisters, let's go."

"Go? Where?" Gonggong asked in surprise.

Gonggong wasn't the only one. The other Ancestral Witches all looked puzzled. Only Zhu Jiuyin seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lighting up.

Dijiang grinned. "To the Heavenly Court. We'll stop the Demon Race's reinforcements and give their Heavenly Court a little something extra while we're at it."

At those words, the Ancestral Witches' eyes lit up. Laughing loudly, they sprang to their feet.

Before long, a towering true body of "Pangu" stood with its head against the heavens and its feet planted on the earth, right outside the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.

"Eastern King Duke, how dare you..."

A furious voice echoed across the sky.

At the same time, a fiery red surge of solar divine power descended from the heavens with the furious voice, and the sky seemed to catch fire.

Countless flames rained down, setting hundreds of millions of miles of sea ablaze.

Yet, to everyone's surprise, the hundreds of millions of cultivators the Eastern King Duke had brought fled the sea of fire in a frenzy, shouting as they ran.

The hundreds of millions of demons, however, remained safe within the flames, feeling no burning sensation at all.

Instead, as the flames burned around them, their injuries rapidly vanished, and their Law Power began to recover in an endless stream.

"Xihe!"

Dijun looked at the goddess shielding him, a trace of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"Eastern King Duke, how dare you!"

Xihe hovered before Dijun, looking valiant in fiery red battle armor, her beautiful eyes glaring at the Eastern King Duke.

Terrifying divine power swept unchecked in every direction, bearing down on all around her and displaying the full divine might of the Sun Goddess.

"Xihe?"

The Eastern King Duke's face darkened.

He had never imagined that the Demon Race's reinforcements would arrive so quickly, much less that it would be Xihe, a Quasi-Sage who had severed both her good and evil corpses.

"You..." The Eastern King Duke was just about to say something when he spotted the nearly imper

ceptible wisps of red around Xihe.

"That's..."

As a Quasi-Sage, the Eastern King Duke was certain he couldn't be mistaken. What rose within the solar divine power surrounding Xihe was unquestionably blood.

Blood Qi rising around a Quasi-Sage?

And concealed with solar divine power?

"You burned your Essence Blood to get here!" The Eastern King Duke's eyes gleamed, and he was overjoyed.

He couldn't defeat an uninjured Two-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sage, but surely he could defeat a half-crippled Quasi-Sage who had burned her Essence Blood?

"Haha, perfect timing! I only planned to take down Dijun and Taiyi, but I never expected I'd get the Sun Goddess as well." The Eastern King Duke burst into arrogant laughter.

"You demons are destined to fall here today!"

"Immortals, leave Xihe to me. Kill every last demon!" Laughing, the Eastern King Duke slammed his dragon-headed cane into the sea.

His Quasi-Sage Law Power erupted with a roar, flipping the vast ocean over. The towering sea of fire on its surface was smashed into the depths and completely extinguished.

Though the seawater didn't kill the countless demons, it swept them hundreds of millions of miles away.

"Kill!"

"Slay the demons!"

The immortals who had just escaped the flames saw that the sea of fire had vanished. Overjoyed, they shouted and charged at the demons below once more.

"Xihe!"

Dijun's expression changed slightly as he noticed that something was wrong with Xihe. With her Law Power, how could such flames possibly be extinguished by seawater?

Then he looked at the arrogant Eastern King Duke, his face darkening.

Dijun circulated the Law Power he had recovered.

His voice, though somewhat weak, was still overwhelmingly commanding, as though filled with boundless confidence. It rang in the ears of the hundreds of millions of demons.

"All demons, heed my command! Form the formation-"

No more words were needed. The moment the voice rang in the ears of the countless demons,

the panic and fear in their hearts vanished like smoke, replaced by roars and shouts.

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor!"

The countless demons who had fallen into the sea also circulated the Law Power they had recovered in the flames, pouring it with all their might into the star banners within them.

Many demons even burned their bodies and Primordial Spirits, desperately driving the star banners.

Above the sea, star banners rose from the water, scattered points of starlight flickering.

Countless incomplete silver runes spread across the surface, slowly but steadfastly linking the star banners together.

A star chart appeared above the sea, not particularly bright but clearly visible to the immortals in the sky.

Dijun stood above the sea, feeling the power of the stars beneath him. His eyes trembled slightly as he looked up at the hundreds of millions of rogue immortals above.

Since the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation had become the Demon Race's guardian formation, when had it ever been deployed with others looking down upon it from above?

Yet... for some reason, Dijun felt utterly at ease.

"Change formation-"

Dijun shouted.

The hundreds of millions of stars behind him began to move, and Dijun and Taiyi sank into the formation chart behind them.

In the Primordial World's starry sky, countless stars lit up here and there, pouring down endless stellar power.

Unlike the star god, the Great Sun Golden Crow, from before, the endless stars within the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation gathered into a single mass, their less-than-dazzling light shining in every direction.

It was... a great sun!

Within the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, hundreds of millions of demons, demon gods, along with Dijun and Taiyi, squeezed out every last trace of Law Power within them.

They formed this blazing great sun!

In the Primordial World's starry sky, atop the supreme star, the Sun Star, light blazed forth the instant that great sun appeared in the Primordial World.

The Sun Star banner planted upon it shone even more brilliantly, divine power surging unchecked as a stream of solar origin power shot toward the Primordial World.

"The Sun Star..."

On the Supreme Yin Star, Changxi watched the distant Sun Star's unusual activity. Her eyes showed a moment's hesitation before she waved the Supreme Yin banner in her hand.

A stream of origin power from the Supreme Yin Star instantly caught up with the Sun Star's divine power. The two intertwined and merged, shooting together toward the Primordial World.

Above the East Sea, the instant that power containing both Supreme Yang and Supreme Yin entered the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation,

incomparably pure Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang power surged into the hundreds of millions of demons, the Daluo demon gods, and Dijun and Taiyi.

Their Law Power recovered at an incredible speed, and their injuries rapidly vanished. Even their exhaustion from the successive battles disappeared like smoke.

"Fight!"

Within the Sun Star, Dijun roared, and the blazing great sun slowly rose from the star chart.

The rising sun ascended in the east!

Xihe felt the sun formed by the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation behind her. As the Sun Goddess, her injuries rapidly healed beneath its radiance.

A power she could scarcely believe slowly came under her control.

"Xihe, go. This is your battle!" Dijun's voice rang in her ear.

Feeling the great sun behind her, now under her control, Xihe felt warmth well up in her heart.

Though it took long to describe, only a few breaths had passed since Dijun organized the demons and deployed the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

Up in the sky, not a single rogue immortal apart from the Eastern King Duke had reacted.

And though the Eastern King Duke had reacted, Xihe had stopped him from interrupting Dijun.

"Hiss-"

Xihe abruptly raised her head and looked at the Eastern King Duke and the hundreds of millions of rogue immortals above. Golden True Sun Fire flared across her fiery red battle armor.

In her hands, golden and blue flames blazed upon the Great Sun Essence Wheel and the Supreme Yin Treasure Wheel. Both Innate Spirit Treasures were of the supreme grade.

Used together, one yin and one yang, their might soared. They were supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasures of the very highest order, second only to Innate Supreme Treasures!

Now, supported by the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation behind her, Xihe's power surged far beyond the realm of a Two-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sage.

"Eastern King Duke, today you fall in the Primordial World and return to the void!" Xihe roared, and the vast sun floating behind her erupted.

The great power of the Sun Star radiated outward. Quite a few weaker rogue immortals in the sky caught fire at once, screaming as they fell into the sea.

"Damn it!" The Eastern King Duke watched the scene below with a dark expression, a faint trace of regret in his heart.

He didn't regret striking earlier.

He regretted holding back his trump card instead of going all out from the start and killing Dijun and Taiyi outright.

"Dijun, Xihe, don't get cocky! Don't think your Demon Race is the only one with a great formation!"

The Eastern King Duke hurled his dragon-headed cane, transforming it into a colossal azure dragon that blocked the power erupting from the great sun. Then he roared:

"All immortals, heed my command... Deploy the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation!"

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation?"

The instant the Eastern King Duke's voice fell, the hundreds of millions of rogue immortals scattered across the sky moved.

Before countless astonished gazes, the previously disordered rogue immortals gathered in groups of three or five, forming circles and creating countless small formations.

The formations made by three or five groups of immortals then linked together to form a larger formation, and these formations in turn became parts of still greater ones.

Great formations and small formations interlocked. Hundreds of millions of rogue immortals formed hundreds of millions of formations, which combined into an incomparably complex formation chart.

It was an immense formation chart constructed by hundreds of millions of immortals.

The Law Power of the rogue immortals passed and circulated through the formations. The chart absorbed and devoured vast quantities of Innate Spiritual Qi, condensing immeasurable Law Power.

Vast quantities of pure Law Power gathered at each formation node in the chart, and upon each node stood a peak Taiyi or a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Tens of thousands of peak Taiyi Golden Immortals now all gave off a terrifying presence comparable to that of Daluo Golden Immortals.

The several hundred Daluo wielded vast Law Power, and the pressure they radiated had utterly surpassed the Daluo realm, even approaching that of a One-Corpse-Severing Quasi-Sage.

At the very center of the chart, the Eastern King Duke controlled the entire great formation and its boundless Law Power. He gazed proudly at the blazing great sun.

At the same time, he cast a cold look at Xihe.

According to his original plan, he would kill Dijun, Taiyi, and the hundreds of millions of demons who formed the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, the Demon Race's fresh forces.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation was to be held back to deal with the remnants of the Demon Race who came seeking revenge, wiping them all out in one fell swoop.

But Xihe's sudden appearance had ruined his plan, leading to the present situation.

Across the Primordial World.

Mighty figures were still watching the battle in the East Sea.

Truth be told, the Eastern King Duke's sneak attack on the Demon Race hadn't shocked them all that much.

Too much had happened in such a short time today, and they were nearly numb to it.

After all, compared with the news that the entire Demon Race had been defeated by a member of the Dragon Race who had taken ten million years to become a Daluo,

compared with the shock of what that Dragon Race member had unleashed, destroying a vast world,

compared with the sudden appearance of the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, which had made their hair stand on end,

the mere fact that the Eastern King Duke had seized the chance to launch a sneak attack on the Demon Race was hardly shocking. But the moment the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation appeared,

the numb hearts of countless mighty figures across the Primordial World were shaken once more.
