Pangu's Phantom Image, the Supreme Dharma Form.
Chapter 41 Pangu's Phantom Image, the Supreme Dharma Form.
The great war between the demons and the sorcerers was fierce and brutal. Countless armies of the demons and sorcerers fought for a long time, with countless casualties on both sides, yet the battle showed no signs of stopping.
Among the demons, Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Kunpeng, Fuxi, and Bai Ze exchanged glances, and Di Jun immediately made a decision.
"Bai Ze, immediately begin setting up the grand formation. I, along with Donghuang, Xihuang, and the Demon Master, will first engage the Twelve Ancestral Witches in battle."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze solemnly nodded.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will begin setting up the Zhou Tian Star Array immediately."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun nodded and looked at Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, and Kunpeng.
"Second brother, Xi Huang, Demon Master, let's first fight the Twelve Ancestral Witches."
"Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches are powerful, the three of us should be able to stop them. Once Bai Ze has set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, we will enter the array directly."
Upon hearing Di Jun's words, all three nodded solemnly.
Everyone knew that this battle would determine the future of the primordial world, and they all attached great importance to it.
Among the Witch Clan, the Twelve Ancestral Witches also watched the battlefield with great caution.
"This battle will determine the future of the primordial world. Everyone will have to use all their strength to defeat them."
Dijiang looked at Dijun, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
The other eleven Ancestral Witches were the same, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.
As if by perfect understanding, the two sides immediately began to fight, and a great battle was about to break out.
With the Hetu and Luoshu above his head and the Sun and Moon Golden Wheel in his hands, Di Jun headed towards Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin.
With the Chaos Bell atop his head, Donghuang Taiyi charged directly toward the six Ancestral Witches.
Fuxi took out the Fuxi Qin (a type of zither) and, with a flick of his fingers, blocked the two ancestral witches.
The Kunpeng was extremely fast and attacked the two Ancestral Witches directly.
Upon seeing this scene, a glint appeared in the eyes of the mirage dragon, which then looked at Chen Qing beside it.
"Master, the Demon Emperor and others of the Demon Clan have begun their great battle with the Twelve Ancestral Witches."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing opened his eyes, stopped pondering, and looked towards the battlefield.
Chen Qing looked at the battlefield. He knew that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were born with powerful physical bodies and could manipulate laws, while Di Jiang, Donghuang Taiyi and others were primordial spirit cultivators. He wondered what kind of highlights this great battle would have.
At this moment, Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieyin Shengren, and Zhunti Shengren, who were far away in their respective Daoist temples, also solidified their void and watched this great battle.
In the void, countless hidden primordial beings with great supernatural powers appeared to watch this great battle.
In the arena, the twelve Ancestral Witches revealed their true forms, their million-foot-tall bodies swirling with the power of laws. Their mere presence caused changes in the celestial phenomena.
Di Jiang directly used the laws of space, and in a leap, he appeared directly behind Di Jun and attacked him.
Above Di Jun's head, the Hetu Luoshu shone with endless light, blocking Di Jiang's attack. Then, streams of true solar fire were unleashed, counterattacking Di Jiang.
But Dijiang, being a master of spatial laws, leaped away from this place and appeared directly on the other side of Dijun.
Even though Di Jun possessed the top-grade innate spiritual treasures Hetu Luoshu and Sun and Moon Golden Wheel, he was still no match for Di Jiang.
Dijiang, relying on the laws of space, can change his position at any time, making him impossible to locate.
Furthermore, with Zhu Jiuyin interfering by using the laws of time, Di Jun was no match for the two of them.
Upon seeing this, Di Jun immediately summoned his two corpses, one good and one evil, and began to counterattack the two.
Chen Qing watched this scene with a glint in his eyes as he observed the battle unfolding on the field.
On the other side, Donghuang Taiyi fought six Ancestral Witches alone, but he was not at a disadvantage at all.
The Ancestral Witches of Metal, Wood, Fire, Water, Earth, and Rain joined forces to besiege Donghuang Taiyi.
The power of the Law of Metal was incomparably sharp, and various weapons appeared, heading towards Donghuang Taiyi.
The Ancestral Witch of Wood used the power of the Laws of Wood to create a prison.
The Ancestral God of Fire summoned divine beasts such as fire dragons, fire phoenixes, and fire qilins to attack Donghuang Taiyi.
The Ancestral Witch of Water unleashed the Laws of Water to attack Donghuang Taiyi.
The Ancestral Witch of Earth unleashed the power of the Laws of Earth, continuously attacking Donghuang Taiyi.
The Ancestral Witch of Rain unleashed the power of the Law of Rain, attacking Donghuang Taiyi.
Donghuang Taiyi possesses unparalleled strength, wielding the innate treasure Chaos Bell, and is himself a top-tier innate god-demon, naturally wielding the true fire of the sun.
He was seen shaking the Chaos Bell in his palm, and streams of true solar fire gathered around him to protect himself as he fought against the six Ancestral Witches. The two sides fought back and forth, and for a time neither was at a disadvantage.
Chen Qing looked at Donghuang Taiyi with a solemn expression in his eyes and whispered a few words, "Donghuang Taiyi is indeed quite strong. He can hold off six Ancestral Witches all by himself and is not weaker than the one below."
Fuxi and Kunpeng fought against the four Ancestral Witches, but fell to the bottom and could only dodge and occasionally launch one or two attacks.
As Chen Qing observed the laws crisscrossing the arena, with countless forces of law constantly emerging, he began to comprehend these forces of law.
He has now entered the Dao of Laws and has a profound understanding of them. Seeing the battle between the crowd, he has gained a great deal.
Looking at the overall situation, Chen Qing saw that the Space Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang was suppressing the Demon Emperor Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan all by himself, and he himself was not in any danger.
Di Jun possessed two top-grade innate spiritual treasures, yet he was constantly being overwhelmed by Di Jiang.
Chen Qing watched as the Twelve Ancestral Witches manipulated the power of laws to fight their enemies, pondering from time to time before looking back at the great battle in the arena.
The mirage dragon standing next to Chen Qing couldn't keep up with the battle at all; it simply couldn't understand the fight between powerful beings.
Chen Qing glanced at the mirage dragon, then said something indifferently.
"The battles between these great supernatural beings are not something you can watch now. You should watch more battles between Taiyi Golden Immortals, Daluo Golden Immortals, and Quasi-Saints."
Upon hearing this, the Mirage Dragon nodded to Chen Qing and then stopped watching the battle between the powerful beings.
When powerful beings clash, it is an application of their own Great Dao, which has already begun to involve a battle of laws, and is not something that the current Mirage Dragon can witness.
If the Mirage Dragon were to begin comprehending the laws, he would certainly gain something from watching this great battle. However, he is currently only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so it is inappropriate for him to watch at this time.
The Mirage Dragon now knew that its master was doing this for its own good. After all, in the battle just now, the strongest were only those who had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm, and they were no match for this group of powerful beings.
"Mirage Dragon, observe carefully. If you can gain some insight, you might be able to break through after returning to the Daoist temple and advance from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm."
Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon immediately nodded in agreement, then calmly watched the great battle unfold.
Chen Qing watched the battle calmly, observing as they manipulated the laws to attack each other, pondering as he watched.
The battle between the two sides has entered a heated phase.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches faced off against the demon race's Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Fuxi. On the demon race's side, apart from Donghuang Taiyi, the other three were at a disadvantage.
Chen Qing was very satisfied with the great battle between the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, and Kunpeng, after all, he had never witnessed a battle between great supernatural beings before.
Watching the battle between these powerful beings, he gained a great deal. The river of laws behind him widened again, and the amount of law power it could contain increased significantly.
This was because he gained some insights while watching the great battle, which allowed him to take another step forward in the path of laws.
It should be noted that Chen Qing has now entered the Dao of Laws and is extremely sensitive to the Dao of Laws. At this moment, seeing so many Great Daos of Laws, he is constantly perfecting his own River of Laws.
Chen Qing hadn't planned to come and watch the battle before, intending to go back into seclusion to ponder the matter of the Dharma Form. But now, he felt that the trip was worthwhile, and he had gained a lot from watching the battle.
At this moment, he gained a great deal of understanding of the application of laws: laws transforming into spirits, laws being added to the body, laws being added to spiritual treasures, and laws being added to supernatural powers.
The application of all these methods gave him considerable insight into the application of the laws of nature.
At this moment, Chen Qing affirmed the great battle, after all, it was a battle between great supernatural beings, which was incomparable to those Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints.
Their great battle was a confrontation of the Great Dao, a confrontation of themselves, not a confrontation of magical power or cultivation.
This time, he gained more from observing than from his own seclusion. He did not have a primary cultivation path, but instead cultivated three thousand major paths and three thousand laws simultaneously, which made things somewhat difficult.
Everyone's understanding of the Great Dao is different. The pillar of light of laws he saw behind the Tongtian Sect Master made him deeply understand some of the laws of the Great Dao, while he did not understand some of them deeply.
But now, watching the great battle in the arena, he gained a deeper understanding of many of the laws.
Chen Qing stared intently at the scene. At this moment, the three demons, Di Jun, Fu Xi, and Kun Peng, had already suffered some damage. Under the siege of the six Ancestral Witches, even though they were great supernatural beings, they were somewhat unable to withstand it.
Above the sky, Bai Ze watched the great battle unfold and began setting up a grand formation.
Under Bai Ze's direction, the Zhou Tian Star Array has been set up.
The moment the great formation was completed, it caused a dramatic change in the weather.
Three hundred and sixty-five main stars appeared in the sky. These main stars all existed in the ancient star sea. Now, summoned by the star array, they all appeared, but what appeared were all phantom images of main stars in the ancient star sea.
Even the phantom of the main star possesses unparalleled power.
As soon as these illusory star images appeared, they shone brightly, illuminating the entire sky as a world of stars.
This change drew everyone's attention, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, and Kunpeng took the opportunity to head towards the Zhou Tian Star Array.
After the four entered the Star Array, a look of relief appeared in their eyes.
"Dijiang, let me test the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array that I have been researching for so long."
Upon hearing this, Dijiang's eyes revealed disdain. He glanced at the other Ancestral Witches and then said softly.
"Since the demon race has set up a great formation, then we will not waste our time staying behind and will set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation."
As soon as Dijiang finished speaking, the other eleven Ancestral Witches all nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then let's set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to break this Zhou Tian Star Formation."
The twelve ancestral witches each stood in their respective positions, preparing to set up their formations.
The powerful figures watching the battle frowned as they looked at the demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array.
They never expected that the demon race would discover such a powerful formation over the past 100,000 years.
Everyone present was a top expert in the primordial world, so they could naturally tell whether the formation was strong or weak.
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, this Zhou Tian Star Array was vast and boundless, with abundant stellar power within, and contained the phantoms of three hundred and sixty-five main stars, exuding boundless killing intent.
Chen Qing looked at the Zhou Tian Star Array, his eyes gleaming.
"What a magnificent Zhou Tian Star Array! It contains smaller arrays such as the One Yuan, Two Forms, Three Powers, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Six Harmonies, and Seven Stars, one array nested within another, all connected to form this Zhou Tian Star Array."
"With these 365 Great Luo Golden Immortals as the main force, their power is already boundless. Even a sage would find it difficult to break this formation."
Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon looked up at the great formation high in the sky and couldn't help but show a look of surprise in its eyes.
"Master, even a saint would find it difficult to break this Zhou Tian Star Array?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, even a sage would need some time to break this Zhou Tian Star Array. With the support of 365 main stars in the Star Sea, its power is already quite considerable."
Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon nodded in agreement and then looked at Chen Qing.
"Master, the Witch Clan also has a great formation called the Twelve Capital Heaven Formation, which is also extremely powerful."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and then slowly spoke.
"There are three great killing formations in the primordial world: the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation of the Master, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Witch Clan, and the Zhou Tian Star Formation of the Demon Clan."
"Even a sage would find it extremely difficult to break these three great formations."
At this moment, he looked at the Zhou Tian Star Array, his eyes flashing with light, and began to comprehend the Zhou Tian Star Array.
After the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan took their positions, they began to set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
The laws of the twelve ancestral witches are interconnected and intertwined. Under a special blessing, the laws merge into one.
As the twelve ancestral witches began to set up the grand formation, boundless malevolent energy converged upon them, and a massive aura descended directly.
Once the grand formation was set up, boundless malevolent energy condensed into a human form, and a giant with a height of tens of millions of feet appeared out of nowhere, standing alone under the starry sky.
The giant was Pangu, summoned by the Twelve Ancestral Witches through the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. His appearance shocked everyone.
The giant glanced at the sky and earth, then slowly spoke.
"Axe, come here!"
His voice was very soft, yet it conveyed a sense of certain order.
Chen Qing looked into the endless void and waited quietly.
Chen Qing understood perfectly what the giant meant by the axe, because when he spoke those words, a power of rules emanated from him, heading towards the endless void.
Chen Qing withdrew his gaze and glanced at the Zhou Tian Star Array.
At this moment, within the Zhou Tian Star Array, Donghuang Taiyi was doing his utmost to suppress the restless Chaos Bell, preventing it from breaking free.
Donghuang Taiyi knew very well that if the Chaos Bell broke free and fell into the hands of the giants, then their demon race would have no need to fight anymore.
What could they possibly use to withstand the power of the Heaven-Opening Axe?
Upon seeing this, Di Jun also helped Donghuang Taiyi suppress the Chaos Bell and prevent it from escaping.
The giant waited a while, and seeing no movement, shouted again, "Axe, come!"
This call caused both Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, who were in the Taoist temple, to suppress their own supreme treasures.
Chen Qing stopped looking at these things and instead looked at the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and the giant of demonic energy.
Seeing that there was no response after shouting twice, the giant stopped talking and instead condensed his boundless killing intent into a giant axe.
At this moment, the giant stands alone beneath the boundless starry sky, proudly gazing angrily at the heavens.
At this moment, it was a clash between the Twelve Heavenly Capitals and the Zhou Tian Star Array, two of the most powerful arrays in the Primordial World, and it was unclear which one was stronger.
Chen Qing looked at the giant of malevolent energy, a thoughtful expression on his face, and began to ponder the matter of the Dharma Form.
"The malevolent energy is gathered, and the power of the laws is used to gather the malevolent energy, forming a giant of malevolent energy."
Chen Qing murmured softly, looking at the murderous giant with a glint in his eyes.
He then began to consider whether, if his own Dharma Image were condensed using the power of laws and combined with the power of the starry river, he could condense a supreme Dharma Image.
After all, both of these are his own possessions. If he can condense a supreme dharma form, then his supreme dharma form will be an extremely powerful being.
After all, it was formed by combining the power of laws with the power of endless galaxies.
Chen Qing's eyes shone brightly as he considered this, and he began to ponder it carefully.
"With the laws as the core, the power of the galaxy added, and the power of time and space and the power of years integrated, it will surely be accomplished."
At this point, Chen Qing had already solved the problem of how to condense the Dharma Image. The next step was to go back to seclusion and condense the Supreme Dharma Image.
He hadn't expected to gain so much from watching a major battle, and the experience was truly worthwhile.
Chen Qing looked at the giant of malevolent energy, then at the Zhou Tian Star Array, a smile curving his lips and appearing in his eyes.
The Lich Wars, however, finally solved a problem that had been troubling me for thousands of years.
