The Final Battle of the Witches and Demons (Part One)
Heavenly Realm.
Heavenly Court.
Inside the Court Assembly Hall.
All the Demon Race and demon generals of the demon race were filled with rage.
At this moment in the Primordial World, facing the Six Paths of Reincarnation that brought joy to the entire Primordial World, perhaps the most furious were only the Demon Race.
As the dominant race in the Primordial World at this time, when had they ever suffered such blatant insults?
"How dare they call us Demon Race beasts! Those damned Witch Race, those damned descendants..."
The demon god who had been muttering curses was then imprisoned on the spot, unable to utter a word.
"Alright, you can curse the Witch Race as you please, but as for Houtu... just curse her in your heart, and be careful what you say."
Above the Court Assembly Hall, Eastern Emperor Taiyi dispersed the Law Power that had imprisoned the demon god and spoke softly with a blank expression.
"Yes!"
Reminded by Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the demon god realized that Houtu, whom he had just wanted to curse, might very well have achieved the status of Sage.
"However, elder brother, Houtu really went too far, actually calling most of our race's creatures beasts and placing them among the evil paths."
Eastern Emperor Taiyi looked up at Dijun and said softly.
"No, our Lich and Demon races have been enemies for tens of thousands of years, our hatred runs deep. It's perfectly normal for Houtu to Houtu my Demon Race this way!"
"Moreover... being in the evil path isn't necessarily a bad thing!"
"In the Primordial World, good deeds are difficult to perform, while killing is easy to commit. For my Demon Race, this evil path might actually make my Demon Race much stronger."
A glint of wisdom shone in Dijun's eyes.
As for whether all those reincarnated into the Demon Race are villains from their previous lives, wouldn't that lead to a decline in the overall quality of the Demon Race?
Just kidding, their Demon Race has always been a dog-eat-dog world, how could they possibly care about a mere petty evil from their past life?
But...
Dijun thought of another path he had seen in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
"Human Path... the Human Race created by the Lady Nüwa? She established a special path specifically for the Human Race, and it runs almost parallel to my Demon Race."
"Could it be that Houtu is trying to win over Nüwa Sage Nuwa and the Sage Grand Pure One?" Dijun wondered to himself, but for some reason, he had a bad feeling.
As Quasi-Sage, Dijun naturally trusted his intuition completely, secretly keeping the Human Race in mind, but on the surface he remained calm and continued speaking.
"Compared to these trivial matters, what I'm considering now is whether or not to take this opportunity to attack the Witch Race!"
"Attack the Witch Race!"
The demon gods and demon generals below were all startled.
The demon god who had almost cursed Houtu was especially bewildered.
I just reminded him to watch his words, lest he say something that might cause trouble.
How come the next second they were even more ruthless, discussing how to attack the Witch Race?
"The Witch Race is currently missing one of their Ancestral Witch, Houtu. Even if they have some backup plan and can still set up the Twelve Heavenly Great Formation, its power will inevitably be greatly reduced."
Dijun, with a majestic expression, swept his gaze over the numerous demon generals and Divine Dao below and said, "With the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, we might be able to seize this opportunity to wipe out the Witch Race in one fell swoop."
"But if we act now, how will Houtu respond..."
Below, the demon general Bai Ze couldn't help but frown.
"His Witch Race has the Sage Houtu, and my Demon Race has Nüwa Sage Nuwa! What are we afraid of..." Eastern Emperor Taiyi voice.
Upon hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words, all the demon gods and Demon Sage below fell silent.
Although Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi have always claimed that Lady Nüwas Sage of the Demon Race, that was only before Nüwa became a saint.
Since Nüwa became a saint, for tens of thousands of years, they have never seen the Sage Nüwa in the Heavenly Court.
Even many demon gods Demon Sage who grew up in this era have never seen the true face of the Sage Nüwa.
At this moment, in the Court Assembly Hall, Dijun and Taiyi naturally understood the thoughts of the demon gods and Demon Sage below.
However, they didn't pay any attention to it.
In any case, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation doesn't need their ideas; it only needs them to provide manpower and Law Power.
As for...
Nüwa didn't intervene?
Dijun and Taiyi had no worries whatsoever. Nüwa's elder brother, Fuxi, was still in the Heavenly Court, and he was extremely active in fighting against the Witch Race.
With Fuxi present, the Sage Nüwa would surely intervene!
Not to mention...
As Dijun felt the great formation in the River Diagram and Luo Book in his hand, an unparalleled confidence arose in his heart.
"Brother, what's going on with Houtu?"
Dijiang returned to the Witch Race.
Inside the Ancestral Witch Hall, the other Witch Race immediately surrounded them.
Although they had seen some scenes in the illusory world above the sky, they were incoherent and left them completely confused.
"Don't worry, Houtu is fine..." Dijiang gave the group of Ancestral Witch a reassuring smile.
"And it's a good thing!"
"Houtu has found the mission bestowed upon her by the Father God and has already attained sainthood."
"A mission bestowed upon me by God the Father?"
"To attain enlightenment and become a saint?"
The Ancestral Witch all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Then came ecstasy.
Although they usually travel outside under the banner of protecting the Primordial World created by their father god Pangu.
But they themselves knew very well that their father, Pangu, had not actually left them this kind of 'mission'.
But Houtu...
It seems they have truly found the mission bestowed upon them by the Father God Pangu.
Unconsciously, all the Ancestral Witch showed envy on their faces.
For these Ancestral Witch who fanatically worshipped Pangu, carrying out the mission of their father god Pangu was something they were unafraid of, even if it meant death.
Moreover, according to Dijiang, Houtu has already become a saint.
Becoming a saint is the ultimate goal of countless cultivators in the Primordial World!
However, all the Ancestral Witch were Quasi-Sage after all, and their temperaments were not too bad; they were merely filled with envy.
It's still possible to secretly admire someone while simultaneously thinking about other things.
"Didn't Houtu come back with you, brother?" asked Gonggong, the Houtu Ancestral Witch.
Dijiang shook his head slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes, and said, "She can't come back. Although Houtu has become a saint, she will inevitably have to guard that cycle of reincarnation from now on."
"Guarding that cycle of reincarnation, unable to return?" The group of Ancestral Witch frowned slightly.
"Of course, if we want Houtu, we can go to that Six Paths of Reincarnation Houtu to find her," Dijiang added, looking at the group of Ancestral Witch.
"Brother, Houtu can't come back, what will happen to our Witch Race's Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation?" Zhu Jiuyin voice.
"Although the eleven of us can set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation, without Houtu, we cannot summon the phantom of the Father God, and we are afraid we will be unable to match the Demon Race."
"Don't worry..." Dijiang had just begun to speak.
A loud voice suddenly came from outside.
"Your Ancestral Witch, the Great Witch Kuafu has arrived..."
"The one who can solve this has arrived!" Dijiang said to the group of Ancestral Witch, then shouted outside, "Let Kuafu in."
"Kuafu greets all the venerable Ancestral Witch!"
Upon entering the Ancestral Witch Hall, the Great Witch Kuafu bowed to the eleven Ancestral Witch within and spoke in a loud voice.
"Alright, no need for formalities," Dijiang waved his hand and said.
"Kuafu, you must have seen what happened in the Primordial World just now, when the Houtu Ancestral Witch Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation!"
"Reporting to Dijiang Ancestral Witch, Kuafu saw it," Kuafu replied loudly, then a hint of hesitation appeared on his face as he asked, "Is Houtu alright?"
Kuafu was the strongest earth-attribute Great Witch of the Witch Race besides Houtu, and naturally, he was a tribal Great Witch under Houtu's command.
That's why Houtu is called the leader.
"It's nothing! Houtu Ancestral Witch, is simply following the mission of the Father God to go to another place to protect the Primordial World." Dijiang shook his head and answered Kuafu's question.
"I called you here today for this very reason."
"Because of the Father God's mission, the Houtu Ancestral Witch will be unable to return to the Witch Race for a long time to come."
"That's why we've sought you out, to have you join us in forming the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation."
Hearing Dijiang say that Houtu was alright, Kuafu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then he heard that he was to replace Houtu.
Upon seeing the formation of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation, Kuafu was immediately stunned, a look of hesitation on his face as he asked, "Um... Ancestral Witch, can I do this?"
Not only Kuafu, but all the other Ancestral Witch around him also showed hesitation on their faces.
This Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation isn't something you can use just by randomly gathering the attributes.
Especially after summoning the true form of 'Pangu', these Ancestral Witch who control the true form of 'Pangu' will endure extremely terrifying pressure.
A Great Witch?
Can it withstand it?
Despite their doubts, the Ancestral Witch remained silent out of trust in Dijiang, and continued to watch.
Don't worry!
With a wave of his hand, Dijiang Houtu Houtu's Houtu Essence Blood to appear in his palm.
The Essence Blood of Houtu was entirely dark yellow, crystal clear, and looked like a sparkling crystal rather than a drop of Essence Blood.
"This is something left behind by the Houtu Ancestral Witch Houtu. Take it and we'll try it out later to form the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation!"
Dijiang spoke, he presented the essence of Houtu's Essence Blood to Kuafu.
Upon receiving the Essence Blood of Houtu's blood with both hands, Kuafu immediately felt the Essence Blood surging forth from Houtu.
"This..."
Kuafu was shocked by the surging power; it was a hundred or a thousand times more terrifying than the power of the earth he borrowed by stomping on it and using his Divine Ability.
However, even so, Kuafu still lacked confidence that he could form the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a loud sound came from outside the Ancestral Witch Temple.
"Ancestral Witch, news has come from our forward outposts that the Demon Race's Heavenly Court army has been mobilized and is heading straight for our Witch Race."
"You Demon Race bastard!"
"How dare you!"
A group of Ancestral Witch immediately rose in fury.
They all understood the reason why the Demon Race had launched this expedition.
That's why they're so angry.
A cold glint flashed in Dijiang's eyes.
"Kuafu Fu, come with us to form the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation to conquer the Demon Race!" Dijiang shouted.
Kuafu obeys!
Although he was uncertain, feeling the continuous power flowing from his hand, Kuafu gritted his teeth and shouted.
He had made up his mind that even if it meant risking returning to the Father God, he would hold off the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation.
None of the other Ancestral Witch objected to Dijiang's decision at this time.
It wasn't that they believed in Dijiang or Kuafu, but rather in Houtu, believing that the saintly Houtu wouldn't abandon their Witch Race.
A short while later.
A true form of 'Pangu', with his feet firmly planted on the earth and the starry sky above his head, suddenly appeared in the Primordial World.
"Kuafu, how are you? Can you hold on?"
From within the true form of 'Pangu', the voice of Dijiang resounded.
"Ancestral Witch, it's very easy. The pressure of the great formation has been almost entirely absorbed by the treasures left behind by Houtu. I can hardly feel any pressure on my side."
Kuafu's joyful voice reached the ears of all the Ancestral Witch.
This immediately relieved the Ancestral Witch, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Houtu did not disappoint them.
"Haha, since that's the case, let's go! Let's chop those Demon Race brats to pieces!"
"I can't feel any pressure from the grand formation at all. No wonder it's Houtu's treasure. Kuafu, how about you try this battle?"
"Yes! We're under a lot of pressure here. Why don't you, Kuafu, take over?"
The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation showed no signs of weakening, and a group of Ancestral Witch were in a good mood, all of them teasing Kuafu.
The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.
Looking at the giant standing between heaven and earth in the distance, Dijun Taiyi, although they had expected it, were still slightly disappointed.
Although they spoke of taking the opportunity to eliminate the Witch Race in the Court Assembly Hall, both Dijun and Taiyi, and even most of the demon gods Demon Sage, understood the true meaning behind it.
Houtu is not an Innate Divine Beings like Nüwa, who was invited to join the Demon Race.
As a former Ancestral Witch, Houtu's feelings for the Witch Race far exceeded Nüwa's feelings for the Demon Race clan.
No one would believe that Houtu, who had attained sainthood, would leave the Witch Race with a treasure to mend the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Devils Great Formation, and instead watch the Witch Race be destroyed.
This expedition, though ostensibly an attack on the Witch Race, was more of a test of Witch Race, a Houtu to see what methods Witch Race had left for them.
"Form ranks!"
Dijun gave a low shout.
Three hundred and sixty-five star banners, along with billions of star flags, rose into the sky.
Above the Primordial World, countless stars in the vast starry sky emitted incomparably dazzling light.
A terrifying power surged into the Primordial World along with the starlight, into the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation of the Demon Race.
"Kill!"
