Chapter 502
The Demon Realm Upgrades to a Large-Scale World! Rahu Takes Advantage of the Situation t
Buzhou Mountain is the ancestral home of Pangu.
Pangu's phantom dissipated, and chaotic light rain fell, merging into the bodies of every member of the Wu clan!
In an instant, blood boiled! Power surged! Like a volcano dormant for millennia, it erupted with a deafening roar!
Dijiang roared to the sky! The power of the Ancestral Witch of Space surged wildly! Around the million-foot-tall Ancestral Witch's true body, space twisted, folded, and shattered inch by inch!
An immense pressure, surpassing even that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, swept out!
Quasi-Saint! Di Jiang is the first to step into the Quasi-Saint realm!
Right behind!
Zhu Jiuyin's Eye of Time shone brightly! The illusory image of the River of Time flowed, reversed, and accelerated around him!
The power of the Time Law has risen to unprecedented heights! The pressure of a Quasi-Saint descends with a thunderous roar!
The crimson glacier beneath Xuanming's feet instantly spread for hundreds of millions of miles!
The Absolute Frost Domain froze space and time! Even the laws of nature were solidified! A chilling, quasi-saint aura spread out!
"Crack!"
Qiang Liang's body was enveloped in destructive lightning, which transformed into a world-destroying sea of lightning! Xi Zi's extinction grid cleaved through the void!
Gonggong's blood-red ocean unleashed a world-destroying frenzy! Zhurong's scorching fire consumed the heavens!
Jumang's Tree of Creation spans the heavens and earth!
The golden light of the harvest tore through the universe! The deadly poison of the corpse corroded everything!
The hurricane of Tianwu howled and tore apart the stars! The earth of Houtu pulsed, bearing everything!
One after another, quasi-saintly pressures erupted! Like twelve ancient divine mountains rising from the ground!
Zhu Jiuyin, Gonggong, Zhurong, Qiangliang, Xizi, Xuanming, Jumang, Rushou, Shebishi, Tianwu, Houtu!
With the bloodline activated by Pangu's blessing, all eleven Ancestral Witches broke through their bottlenecks and entered the Quasi-Saint realm!
The Twelve Ancestral Witches! All of them are Quasi-Saints!
This terrifying pressure, when combined, was like the sky collapsing and the earth turning upside down!
The entire Buzhou Mountain trembled violently! The primordial world changed color!
This is far from over!
Kuafu roared to the sky, his body swelled up, his feet treaded the earth, and his aura rose steadily, breaking through the peak of the Great Luo realm in one fell swoop and stepping into the threshold of Quasi-Saint!
Although not as powerful as the Ancestral Witches, they are still genuine Quasi-Saints!
Hou Yi drew his Sun-Shooting Bow, the bowstring vibrated, and the arrow's intent soared to the heavens! His aura also broke through its limits, stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm!
Xingtian, Xiangliu, Jiufeng, Fengbo, Yushi...
Countless powerful sorcerers experienced a surge in power! Grand Luo Golden Immortals emerged one after another! Taiyi Golden Immortals sprang up like mushrooms after rain!
The strength of the millions of Wu Clan warriors, regardless of their cultivation level, has increased several times over! Their blood and qi surge like dragons, and their murderous aura soars to the heavens!
The aura of the entire Witch Clan instantly reached an unprecedented peak! Twelve Quasi-Saint Ancestral Witches! Dozens of Quasi-Saint Great Witches!
Countless Great Luo and Taiyi!
At this moment, the Wu Clan is so powerful that it can shake the entire primordial world!
"The Witch Clan! The Witch Clan! The Witch Clan—!!!"
A deafening roar, filled with unparalleled ecstasy and power, resounded throughout the primordial world! In the ancestral land of Pangu, malevolent energy surged, and divine light soared into the sky! The Wu Clan was reborn from the ashes!
In the void less than a day's journey from Mount Buzhou.
Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Bai Ze were as if they had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer, and they suddenly stopped their steps that were tearing through space!
Their faces turned deathly pale, their pupils contracted sharply, and they stared in disbelief at the twelve quasi-saint auras soaring into the sky from the direction of Buzhou Mountain! And at the surging aura of billions of Wu Clan members!
"Ten...twelve Quasi-Saints?!"
Taiyi's voice trembled uncontrollably, and the light of the Chaos Golden Bell dimmed slightly!
Although he was a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, facing the combined forces of twelve newly promoted Quasi-Saint Ancestral Witches, plus the massive Witch Clan army whose strength had surged by hundreds of millions, the outcome was... uncertain!
"Kua Fu! Hou Yi! Xing Tian... they've also broken through to the Quasi-Saint level?!"
Bai Ze's feather fan stopped, and his wise eyes were filled with unprecedented shock and solemnity.
"This...how is this possible?! Pangu's blessing...is it really this terrifying?!"
"It's over..."
For the first time, a look of despair appeared in Di Jun's golden pupils!
All his schemes and plans seemed so pale and laughable in the face of the terrifying surge in the strength of the Witch Clan! Twelve Quasi-Saint Ancestral Witches! Dozens of Quasi-Saint Great Witches!
This is no longer a question of whether the Demon Court can destroy the witches, but rather... whether the Demon Court can protect itself!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor! The situation is hopeless! We must not advance any further!"
Bai Ze snapped back to reality, his voice urgent and resolute.
"The strength of the Wu Clan has increased dramatically, and that's a foregone conclusion! Attacking Buzhou Mountain now would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock! The most urgent task is to immediately withdraw the army and defend the Sun Star! Relying on the Zhou Tian Star Array, there is still a glimmer of hope!"
He paused, a glint in his eyes.
"And then there's... the Heavenly Mystery Palace! That Daoist of Heavenly Mystery can guide the Witch Clan to activate their bloodline, and perhaps... he can also point out a way out for our Demon Clan! The most urgent task is to preserve our strength and seek opportunities for change!"
Di Jun clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, and golden blood flowed down!
He stared intently at the soaring malevolent aura and quasi-saintly pressure from the direction of Buzhou Mountain, his eyes filled with resentment, anger, and humiliation!
But in the end, reason prevailed over impulse!
He took a deep breath, his voice hoarse and cold.
"Retreat! Retreat to Sun Star immediately! Order the army to return to defend at full speed!"
"Big brother!"
Taiyi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dijun's cold gaze.
"go!"
Without further hesitation, Di Jun turned and tore through space! Taiyi and Bai Ze followed closely behind!
Three streaks of light, carrying endless humiliation, fled in disarray towards the direction of the Sun Star!
Soon, they joined up with the demon army that was rushing to the scene.
Di Jun suppressed his anger and gave the order to retreat.
The massive demon army, which had arrived with great momentum and murderous intent, was now like a wilted eggplant, its morale low, and it retreated in panic towards the direction of the Sun Star.
The heroic ambition to destroy the witch when they came has now vanished.
The primordial beings were already stunned by this earth-shattering reversal!
"Ten...twelve Quasi-Saint Ancestral Witches?! And dozens more Quasi-Saint Great Witches?!"
"Heavens! The Witch Clan... are they going against the heavens?!"
"Pangu's blessing! Bloodline activated! It's terrifyingly powerful?!"
"The Demon Court... is finished! Emperor Jun and Taiyi will probably have to retreat to the Sun Star!"
"The power of the Lich King has been completely reversed! The primordial world... is about to change!"
"The Celestial Mystery Daoist! It's the Celestial Mystery Daoist again! With just a single sentence, he brought the Witch Clan back to life! Just who is he?!"
Amazement! Shock! Fear! Curiosity! A variety of emotions spread throughout the primordial wilderness!
The mystery and power of the Celestial Mystery Master have once again become the focus of attention for all living beings!
At the summit of Mount Sumeru.
Luo Hou (Yuan Feng)'s scarlet eyes gleamed with an unusual light, and a smile of admiration curved his lips.
"What a shrewd Taoist! He can turn his hand to make clouds and rain!"
He orchestrated this incredible reversal! Old Man Hongjun... he's probably furious enough to vomit blood!
The Azure Lotus Boy also looked shocked.
"The Demon Ancestor is absolutely right!"
Such methods and such audacity are truly unparalleled! The manifestation of Pangu's will is likely also related to him!
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun Daozu sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, the light of the Creation Jade Disc flashing intensely, clearly indicating that his mind was not at peace.
As he gazed at the twelve soaring quasi-saint auras reflected in the water mirror, and at the hastily retreating demon army, for the first time, extremely fine cracks appeared on his usually calm face.
His carefully laid plans were completely disrupted in such a way by a "Taoist Master of Heavenly Secrets" who appeared out of nowhere!
The Witch Clan not only survived, but their strength increased dramatically, making them a force capable of threatening the Heavenly Order!
This made him feel an unprecedented sense of loss of control!
"Heavenly secrets... Taoist..."
Hongjun's voice was deep and cold, filled with killing intent and apprehension.
"Who...who are you?!" Several days later.
Outside the Heavenly Mystery Palace on the Central Continent.
A shimmering, yellowish-brown membrane circulates, isolating the inside from the outside.
Throughout the primordial world, countless beings still gather here, attempting to meet the Celestial Mystery Daoist and seek a glimmer of opportunity.
However, the gates of Tianji Palace were tightly closed, and no one could enter.
Just then, a beam of clear light descended from the sky and landed before the massive gate of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
The light faded, revealing Bai Ze's figure.
His face was haggard and his eyes were tired, yet he carried an unprecedented solemnity and determination.
He straightened his clothes, ignoring the countless surprised and curious gazes around him, and slowly and solemnly knelt down on both knees in front of the tightly closed palace gate!
"Bai Ze, the demon master of the demon race, requests an audience with Senior Tianji!"
Bai Ze's voice, though hoarse, clearly pierced through the light membrane and entered the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
The surrounding area erupted in an uproar!
"Bai Ze?! Bai Ze, the Demon Master of the Demon Court?!"
"He actually came?! And... he knelt down?!"
"The demon race... has nowhere else to turn but to seek help from the Heavenly Mystery Daoist?"
"Interesting! Very interesting! The Witch Clan prospered because of the Celestial Mystery Taoist, could the Demon Clan also want to..."
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Bai Ze kowtowed deeply, his forehead touching the cold void, his voice filled with sorrow and earnestness:
"Senior! The demon race has suffered a great calamity and is on the verge of extinction! Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan, Donghuang Taiyi, and even hundreds of millions of demon beings are all filled with fear! Bai Ze dares to speak on behalf of the hundreds of millions of demon beings, and begs the senior to have mercy! Show my demon race a way to survive!"
He raised his head, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, his voice even more resolute:
"The demon race is willing to submit to the Heavenly Mystery Palace! We are willing to obey the senior's decree! We only beg the senior... to save our demon race from this dire situation! Bai Ze... is willing to pay any price!"
Outside the Heavenly Mystery Palace, a dark yellow light membrane flowed, isolating the inside from the outside.
Bai Ze knelt in the cold void, his forehead touching the ground, his voice mournful and earnest.
"Bai Ze, the Demon Master of the Demon Clan, begs to see Senior Tianji! The Demon Clan has suffered a great calamity and is on the verge of destruction! We implore you, Senior, to have mercy and show us a way to survive! The Demon Clan is willing to submit to Tianji Palace! We are willing to obey your decree! Bai Ze... is willing to pay any price!"
His words, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirred up a thousand waves among the countless onlookers!
A demon master from the demon race actually knelt down and begged the Heavenly Mystery Daoist in such a humble manner? The balance of power between the demon and the lich race has truly been completely reversed!
However, just as the plea echoed, a violent figure, engulfed in raging flames, tore through the void and crashed down!
"Bai Ze! You monster! How dare you come here?!"
Zhu Rong manifested his true form, a million-foot-long flame, his golden pupils burning with boundless rage as he stared intently at Bai Ze, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Our Wu clan owes its current prosperity to the guidance of our predecessors! You demon clan, with your wolfish ambitions, dare to dream of seeking opportunities here? Dream on! Get out of here!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Rong's enormous fiery hand, carrying the power to incinerate everything, slammed down on Bai Ze!
He wanted to crush this demon clan's strategist completely in front of the Heavenly Mystery Palace!
"presumptuous!"
In the Heavenly Mystery Palace, that indifferent voice boomed like thunder!
The yellow light membrane suddenly trembled!
An invisible force descended instantly! Zhu Rong's raging fiery giant palm, as if it had crashed into an invisible divine mountain, came to a sudden halt!
Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming force rebounded!
Zhu Rong was struck as if by a heavy hammer; his million-foot-tall true body trembled violently, and golden blood gushed out!
He was sent flying backwards, crashing heavily into the void in the distance, his aura instantly weakening!
He struggled to get up, but was held down by an invisible force and could not move!
"Fighting is strictly prohibited in front of the Heavenly Mystery Palace! Violators will be severely punished!"
The voice of the Taoist Master Tianji was as cold as ice that had stood for millennia, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
"Zhurong, considering this is your first offense, I will punish you lightly as a warning! If you dare to act recklessly again, I will execute you without mercy!"
This scene made all the onlookers gasp in shock!
The mighty Quasi-Saint Ancestral Witch Zhu Rong was actually suppressed by the Heavenly Mystery Palace's formation, utterly powerless to resist! The power of the Heavenly Mystery Daoist is terrifying indeed!
The figures of the ancestral witches, such as Dijiang and Houtu, also appeared not far away. They looked at the suppressed Zhurong with solemn expressions, but dared not make the slightest move.
Dijiang stepped forward and bowed in the direction of Tianji Palace.
"Senior, please calm your anger! Zhu Rong was impetuous and offended you. Di Jiang apologizes on his behalf! We hope you will forgive him!"
After a moment of silence in the Heavenly Mystery Palace, that indifferent voice rang out again.
"The Witch Clan".
"This junior is here!"
Dijiang quickly responded.
"Since you have received the blessing of Pangu, your bloodlines have been activated, and your strength has greatly increased. This is your good fortune, and also the result of my guidance."
The Taoist Master Tianji's voice was calm and undisturbed.
"Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution is inevitable. I require each of you twelve Ancestral Witches to offer a drop of your heart's essence blood to fulfill this karmic obligation. These must be delivered to the Heavenly Mystery Palace within three years. Do you... have any objections?"
Twelve drops of the Ancestral Witch's heart's essence blood!
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Dijiang and the other ancestral witches all changed!
The essence of the heart's blood contains the ancestral witch's origin, making it incomparably precious!
Losing even a single drop, though not enough to damage the foundation, will severely deplete the body's vitality and require a long period of recovery!
But... would they dare to refuse the Heavenly Mystery Taoist's request?
Dijiang took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination, and bowed.
"The Wu Clan will never forget the guidance of our predecessors! We will offer up twelve drops of the Ancestral Wu's blood essence within three years! Furthermore, our Wu Clan is willing to erect a statue of our predecessors in our ancestral land of Buzhou Mountain, and worship them for generations to come, in gratitude for their great kindness!"
"No need."
The Taoist Master Tianji's voice remained completely calm.
"Once the essence and blood are delivered, the cause and effect are settled. Worship of the divine statues is unnecessary."
Dijiang felt a chill run down his spine and dared not say another word, bowing once more.
"I will obey the instructions of my predecessors!"
The Heavenly Mystery Daoist's gaze returned to Bai Ze, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Demon race."
Bai Ze trembled and quickly looked up, his eyes filled with hope.
"Senior! The demon race is here! We humbly request your guidance!"
"I already know the path to survival you seek."
The voice of the Taoist Master Tianji carried a scrutinizing tone.
"However, the ways of Heaven are ruthless, and opportunities are hard to come by. What price can the demon race pay? And how much sincerity do they have?"
A glint flashed in Bai Ze's eyes, and without hesitation, his voice was resolute.
"Senior! The demon race is facing a critical moment of survival! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the demon race is willing to pay any price! Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan, Emperor Taiyi of the Eastern Clan, and even hundreds of millions of demon beings are all willing to obey your decree!"
All the resources and foundations of the demon race are at your disposal, senior!
This is the shared will of the entire demon race! Bai Ze guarantees it with his life!
"Any cost?"
The voice of the Celestial Mystery Master seemed to carry a hint of amusement. (End of Chapter)
