Chapter 496
The Witch Clan's Miraculous Survival! Pangu's Blood Blessing for the Ancestral
Jumang, the Ancestral Witch (the Ancestral Witch of Wood), frowned deeply. He was surrounded by lush, verdant vines, exuding a rich aura of life.
He looked at the valley shrouded by the Zhou Tian Star Array, its energy fluctuations reaching their peak, his eyes filled with worry.
"Something's wrong! The energy fluctuations inside are too violent! Brother Zhujiuyin and the others seem to be in big trouble! Ru Shou, we..."
Ru Shou Ancestral Witch (Golden Ancestral Witch) exudes an aura of unparalleled sharpness.
He snorted coldly, interrupting Jumang.
"Jumang! You're overthinking it! With Brother Zhujiuyin here, and Gonggong and Qiangliang here, what waves can the remnants of the demon race make? Dijun and Taiyi are nothing but two stray dogs!"
If they dare to show themselves, we can catch them all in one fell swoop! We only need to guard the outer perimeter to prevent any from escaping! Don't panic!
Jumang looked at Ru Shou's disdainful expression and then at the Zhou Tian Star Array, his unease growing stronger.
But he knew that Ru Shou was stubborn and that further words would be useless, so he could only suppress his worries and watch his surroundings warily.
Buzhou Mountain, Pangu Temple.
The hall was filled with malevolent energy, and the totems representing the twelve ancestral witches on the twelve Pangu pillars shimmered with light.
Suddenly, the six totem poles representing Zhujiuyin, Gonggong, Zhurong, Qiangliang, Xizi, and Xuanming began to tremble violently!
The light dimmed rapidly, and even tiny cracks appeared!
A strong sense of crisis, like an icy tide, swept through the entire temple in an instant!
"not good!"
Emperor Jiang, the Ancestral Witch, suddenly opened his eyes, and his Eye of Space shot out a terrifying light.
"Zhu Jiuyin and the others are in trouble! Their auras are rapidly weakening! Their lives are in danger!"
Houtu, the Ancestral Witch (the Ancestral Witch of Earth), has a human head and a dragon's body. Her face is exquisitely beautiful yet solemn. She senses the pulse of the earth, and her voice is filled with disbelief and astonishment.
"From the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains... there is an extremely powerful force of heaven and earth suppressing it! And... the aura of a Quasi-Saint! It's Di Jun!"
He actually broke through?!
"Di Jun! Quasi-Saint!"
Di Jiang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"No wonder! No wonder they dared to set such a trap! Damn it! I must go to their rescue immediately!"
With one step, the power of space surged, and he was about to tear through the void to rush to the Hundred Thousand Mountains!
"Brother, wait!"
Houtu hurriedly stopped Dijiang.
"The Ten Thousand Mountains are far away! Even if you use spatial teleportation, it will take time! And Zhu Jiuyin and the others are in imminent danger! I'm afraid we can't wait!"
"Then what?!"
Dijiang roared in anger, his heart burning with anxiety.
Houtu's gaze was resolute as she suddenly looked at the majestic Pangu statue in the center of the Pangu Temple.
"The only way is to use the Pangu Temple! With the power of the temple, we can break through the void and arrive in an instant!"
"Use the temple?!"
Dijiang's pupils suddenly contracted.
"This is the sacred ground of my Witch Clan, where we worship our Father God! How can we use it lightly? Moreover, the power of the temple is greatly consumed; once it is used..."
"We can't worry about that now!"
Houtu's voice was resolute.
"Zhu Jiuyin, Gonggong, Zhurong, Qiangliang, Xizi, and Xuanming! The six ancestral witches! And hundreds of millions of witch clan sons!"
Are their lives less important than the temple's resources?! If they perish, our witch clan will suffer a severe blow. What use is a powerful temple then?!
Looking into Houtu's resolute eyes, and feeling the increasingly faint distress signals emanating from the six totem poles in the temple, Dijiang struggled with his emotions, which ultimately transformed into overwhelming determination and madness.
"Alright! Then let's use the temple! Let's save them!"
"rise!"
Houtu no longer hesitated, and her human-headed, dragon-bodied body unleashed a vast power of earth law!
She formed hand seals and recklessly activated her own source, drawing upon the supreme power that slumbered deep within the Pangu Temple, originating from the Great God Pangu!
The entire Pangu Temple trembled violently! The majestic Pangu statue seemed to come alive, radiating a terrifying pressure that seemed to create the world!
On the temple walls, ancient totem patterns shone with a dazzling light!
A power powerful enough to shake the very origins of the primordial world is awakening!
"Help me!"
Houtu's face was pale; clearly, forcibly activating the temple was a great burden on her!
Dijiang no longer hesitated, and the power of the Ancestral Witch of Space was unleashed without reservation!
He placed his hands on the temple floor, activating the laws of space and merging them with Houtu's laws of earth, together harnessing this terrifying power that had awakened!
"Pangu Temple! Break through the void! Ten Thousand Mountains! Go!"
As Dijiang and Houtu roared in unison, the Pangu Temple erupted with boundless divine light!
The entire temple, along with Dijiang and Houtu within it, instantly transformed into a chaotic divine light that tore through the primordial void. Ignoring spatial distance, it carried a terrifying power capable of shattering all obstacles and hurtled towards the direction of the Hundred Thousand Mountains!
Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, outside the valley.
Jumang and Rushou were like ants on a hot pan, their faces ashen.
They tried everything, but their divine senses could not penetrate the giant net woven from stars and demonic power. Their messages were like stones sinking into the sea. The violent energy fluctuations in the valley and the constant screams of the dying witch warriors pounded on their minds!
They even tried to forcefully break through the great formation, but the power of the Zhou Tian Stars was vast and boundless, and with the added power of Emperor Jun, a Quasi-Saint, their attacks couldn't even create a ripple!
"What do we do?! Brother Zhujiuyin and the others..."
Ju Mang's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Ru Shou also lost his previous arrogance, his clenched fists bulging with veins, and his golden eyes filled with anxiety.
Just when the two were at their wits' end and almost in despair—
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth, suddenly descended!
The entire space of the Ten Thousand Mountains was trembling violently!
A beam of chaotic divine light tore through the sky, ignoring spatial distance, and instantly appeared above the valley!
The divine light faded, revealing a majestic and ancient temple, exuding an aura of endless vastness—the Pangu Temple!
The temple gates burst open with a roar, and the figures of Dijiang and Houtu stepped out!
The power of space around Dijiang distorted, and the earth beneath Houtu's feet pulsed like a dragon!
Two ancestral witches who remained in their ancestral land actually arrived, riding the sacred land of the witch clan!
"Big brother! Houtu, my sister!"
Jumang and Rushou, as if grasping at a lifeline, rushed forward with great joy!
"What's the situation?!"
Di Jiang's voice was urgent. His spatial eye was locked on the valley below, which was shrouded by the great formation. He sensed the familiar yet extremely weak and precarious aura of the Ancestral Witches within it. His face was terribly gloomy!
"Brother Zhujiuyin, Gonggong, Zhurong, Qiangliang, Xizi, Xuanming!"
They are all trapped in the valley! And millions of men too!
This grand formation was set up by Di Jun; he… he is already a quasi-saint!
Ju Mang spoke rapidly, his voice trembling.
"A Quasi-Saint?! Just as I expected!"
Houtu's eyes held a solemn expression, which then turned into a resolute one.
"Brother! There's no time! Zhu Jiuyin and the others' auras are rapidly weakening! We must break the formation immediately!"
"it is good!"
A murderous glint flashed in Dijiang's eyes, and he hesitated no longer.
"Gumang! Rushou! Help me!"
"Yes!"
Jumang and Rushou responded in unison!
boom--!
The four Ancestral Witches unleashed their power simultaneously!
Dijiang invoked the laws of space, distorting the void and locking onto the nodes of the great array!
Houtu connects with the source of the earth, and the boundless power of Wutu gathers to bless the temple!
Jumang was surrounded by green vines, and his life force transformed into a sharp spear to break through the formation!
A golden light shot into the sky, and its unparalleled sharpness condensed into a blade that could cleave the heavens!
"Pangu Temple! Destroy!"
Dijiang roars!
The Pangu Temple erupted with boundless chaotic divine light!
On the surface of the temple, the ancient totem patterns seem to come alive, radiating the supreme majesty originating from the great god Pangu!
The entire temple transformed into a colossal chaotic axe that split the heavens and earth, carrying a terrifying power that could crush all paths and annihilate all heavens, and fiercely cleaved down towards the Zhou Tian Star Array that shrouded the valley below!
In the valley.
The Zhou Tian Star Array operates continuously, with the power of stars and demonic energy intertwining to form an indestructible barrier.
Di Jun stood in the center of the Hetu Luoshu, fully activating the great formation to suppress the six Ancestral Witches below who were struggling to hold on.
Taiyi, Bai Ze, and other powerful demons seized the opportunity and launched a frenzied attack.
"Hmph! Pangu Temple?" Taiyi felt the terrifying pressure descending from the sky, looked up, and a disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
"It's nothing but a dead object offered by the Ancestral Witches to their Father God! A mere Ancestral Witch at the Great Luo level dares to try and shake the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array, which is at the Quasi-Saint level of my Demon Race? Wishful thinking!"
Bai Ze gently waved his feather fan, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
"His Majesty Emperor Jun used the Hetu and Luoshu to communicate with the origin of heaven and earth, and drew upon the great power of the primordial world to set up this formation. Its power is beyond the reach of even the Great Luo Immortals."
The Pangu Temple, though powerful, is ultimately an inanimate object, lacking a power core of the Primordial Chaos level. A forced attack would be like an ant trying to shake a tree—utterly futile!
Below, the six Ancestral Witches, including Zhu Jiuyin, who were suppressed, were in a precarious situation!
Zhu Jiuyin's Eye of Time dimmed, its ability to maintain localized time slowdown was already at its limit, and it could no longer reverse the course of the battle.
Gonggong's sea of blood was suppressed to a height of three zhang around his body.
Qiangliang's thunderous attacks came in fits and starts.
The power grid of Xizi is riddled with holes.
The Xuanming Frosty Domain was teetering on the brink of collapse.
Zhu Rong was covered in blood and his aura was extremely weak. He was barely able to stay alive thanks to Qiang Liang and Xuan Ming!
"Time...is coming to an end..."
Zhu Jiuyin's voice was hoarse and filled with exhaustion.
He felt that his own source of the laws of time was being consumed rapidly, like lamp oil about to burn out!
Once exhausted, the time-delay effect will fail, and they will be instantly crushed by Di Jun's immense power of heaven and earth, and torn to pieces by the attacks of the powerful demons!
Just in this moment of despair, they felt it! They felt the throbbing deep within their blood! They felt the terrifying pressure that seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth!
I saw the Pangu Temple that tore through the sky and descended!
"The temple! It's my brothers!"
A final burst of ecstatic light erupted in Zhurong's eyes!
"It's saved!"
Gonggong's spirit was greatly invigorated!
"Hold on!"
Zhu Jiuyin roared, forcefully squeezing out the last bit of time essence!
The giant axe of chaos, transformed from the Pangu Temple, slammed down on the Zhou Tian Star Array!
Click-clack!
A sickening cracking sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth!
The seemingly indestructible giant net, composed of stellar demonic power, suddenly trembled violently under the bombardment of the temple!
Countless fine cracks spread out instantly, like a spider web!
The light of the entire formation dimmed for a moment! Its operation became noticeably sluggish!
"what?!"
Di Jun's expression changed slightly!
He clearly felt that a mighty force originating from the primordial origin, a force that created the world, was impacting the foundation of the great formation!
Although this power is not as powerful as his quasi-saint power, its essence is more ancient and more domineering!
"impossible!"
Taiyi's pupils shrank sharply as he stared in disbelief at the spreading cracks!
"This...this is the power of Pangu, the Father God, in creating the world?!"
Bai Ze exclaimed in shock, his feather fan freezing in his hand!
"Again!"
Dijiang roared! The Pangu Temple erupted with boundless divine light once more, and the second bombardment descended!
This time, the cracks are even more numerous!
The light of the great formation flickered violently, and its operation became even more sluggish!
The suppressed Ancestral Witches, including Zhu Jiuyin, instantly felt the pressure on their bodies lessen considerably!
"Break! Break! Break!"
Dijiang, Houtu, Jumang, and Rushou roared in unison, pouring all their power into the temple!
!
The third time! And it was the ultimate strike that combined the full power of the four Ancestral Witches and the power of the Pangu Temple's origin!
Like the final axe blow that cleaved the heavens and the earth! The chaotic divine light erupted completely! It slammed fiercely into the cracked array!
click-
The entire Zhou Tian Star Array exploded with a deafening roar!
The light of billions of stars scattered and splashed everywhere, and the torrent of demonic power collapsed and flowed away!
The giant net that had enveloped the valley has completely disappeared!
"Charge in! Save them!"
Dijiang took the lead, his spatial power tearing through the chaotic energy currents as he charged straight to the bottom of the valley! Houtu, Jumang, and Rushou followed closely behind!
Inside the valley, Di Jun's face was ashen, and the Hetu Luoshu was violently shaking, clearly indicating that the breaking of the great formation had also had a backlash on him.
Taiyi, Bai Ze, and other powerful demons were also taken aback by this sudden turn of events, causing their attacks to falter!
"Blessing!"
Dijiang instantly appeared beside the heavily injured and collapsed Zhurong and helped her up!
Houtu drew upon the power of the earth to protect its vital energy!
Ju Mang's life force surged in, stabilizing his injuries! Ru Shou stood guard vigilantly by his side!
"Big brother... Houtu sister... Jumang... Rushou..."
Zhu Rong looked at his brothers who had rushed over, his eyes filled with tears, and his voice choked with emotion.
"I...I'm fine! Quick! Help Brother Zhujiuyin and the others!"
Dijiang's gaze swept across the battlefield. He saw that although Zhujiuyin, Gonggong, Qiangliang, Xizi, and Xuanming were all wounded and weak, they were still alive, which reassured him somewhat.
His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked at Di Jun and the others in the sky, whose faces were grim. His voice was as cold as ice.
"Witch Clan warriors! Fight back! Slaughter these hairy beasts! Avenge our fallen brothers!"
"kill--!!!"
With the shattering of the great formation and the addition of the four ancestral witches, including Dijiang, the witch army, which had been suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe, was injected with a powerful stimulant!
The surviving witch warriors roared in fury!
Looking at the blood-soaked Ancestral Witches and at His Majesty Emperor Jiang who had come to their rescue, the fear in their hearts was replaced by overwhelming rage and fighting spirit!
They grabbed their broken weapons, dragged their battered bodies, and fearlessly launched a counterattack against the demon army!
The morale of the Wu tribe was instantly reversed! Inside and outside the valley, the roars of hundreds of millions of Wu warriors converged into a torrent, soaring straight into the sky!
However, just as the Wu tribe's morale was soaring and they were preparing to launch a full-scale counterattack to annihilate the remnants of the demon tribe—
Di Jun stood atop the shattered Hetu Luoshu, looking down at the menacing army of the Wu tribe, at the six Ancestral Witches who had been rescued, and at the Pangu Temple that radiated the power of creation. His eyes showed no fear, but rather madness and determination!
"The Witch Clan... Pangu Temple... Good! Very good!"
Di Jun's voice was icy cold, carrying a kind of madness that threatened to destroy everything.
"Since you wish to die, I will grant your wish!"
He suddenly formed hand seals, ignoring the violent tremors of the Hetu Luoshu and the backlash from his own Quasi-Saint origin, and frantically poured all his power into it!
At the same time, he drew upon all the fortune of himself and the demon race to communicate with the Heavenly Dao in the dark!
"The River Chart and the Luo River Writing! Drawing upon the power of the Heavenly Dao! To suppress! Pan! Gu! Temple!"
A heavenly power, more terrifying, purer, and more representative of the will of the primordial world than when the Ancestral Witches were suppressed, was forcibly drawn down by Di Jun using the Hetu and Luoshu as a guide!
The target of this force was not the Wu Clan army below, nor the Ancestral Wu, but rather—the Pangu Temple, which floated above the valley and exuded the power of creation!
The power of Heaven represents the ultimate rule of the primordial order!
The Pangu Temple contains the supreme power of Pangu in creating the world!
These two forces, which should have been the cornerstone of the primordial world, are now colliding violently under Di Jun's mad guidance!
The Pangu Temple erupted with unprecedented chaotic divine light, instinctively resisting the suppression that represented order!
However, the power of Heaven is boundless, vast and boundless!
The temple trembled violently, and the ancient totem patterns on its surface flashed wildly, as if it were fighting against the entire primordial world!
"Di Jun! Are you insane?!"
Dijiang's expression changed drastically; he could feel the struggle and pain within the temple!
This is not an attack, but rather the rejection and suppression of "outliers" by the Heavenly Dao!
Emperor Jun actually dared to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to deal with the Pangu Temple!
"Hahaha! Mad? This emperor is going to mad!"
Di Jun laughed wildly, golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His aura fluctuated violently due to the backlash, but his eyes became even more crazed.
"Pangu Temple! Shatter for me!"
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which merged into the Hetu Luoshu! The power of the Heavenly Dao surged instantly!
Click—!
A deafening roar, as if the very origin of the primordial world had shattered!
A huge crack was actually forced open on the indestructible structure of the Pangu Temple!
The chaotic divine light emanating from the temple dimmed instantly!
Its inherent power of creation was forcibly suppressed and distorted by the power of the Heavenly Dao!
Even more terrifying is that, under the collision and compression of these two ultimate forces, the Pangu Temple lost control!
It no longer hovered in the air, but was as if it had been slapped away by an invisible giant hand, turning into an out-of-control chaotic meteor, carrying an aura of destruction, and crashing hard towards the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, towards the Buzhou Mountain that supports the primordial world!
All living beings, whether they were from the Wu clan or the demon clan, whether they were ancestral witches or demon emperors, stopped what they were doing and stared in disbelief at the Pangu Temple that was crashing out of control towards Buzhou Mountain!
A premonition of impending doom, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed the minds of all living beings! (End of Chapter)
