Chapter 24: Internal Strife Continues, Hongjun Stops the War
Chapter 24: Internal Strife Continues, Hongjun Stops the War
A spatial rift opened above Mount Buzhou, and Taiyi embraced Dijun, with the Eastern Emperor Bell above his head. Bai Ze and other demon gods followed closely beside him, followed by countless elite demon court warriors.
Little did they know, the shadow of death had already quietly loomed over them.
"Buzz!"
The spatial rift closed completely without any warning.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly surged violently, and countless dazzling rays of spiritual treasure light pierced the sky, carrying a world-destroying power as they poured down upon the immortals of the Demon Court.
At the same time, over a thousand obscure and difficult-to-understand laws intertwined into a net, combining trapping and killing, instantly enveloping everyone in the Demon Court.
The attack came too suddenly and too fiercely.
The immortals of the Demon Court had just recovered from the exhaustion of the battle in the East Sea, and before they even had time to activate their spiritual power to protect themselves, an overwhelming array of spiritual treasures and laws were already upon them.
The laws of the Five Elements, the laws of space, the laws of slaughter, the laws of destruction... countless laws intertwine and collide, forming a destructive torrent.
Wherever the laws and spiritual treasures passed, the bodies of the demon soldiers melted upon contact.
Taiyi's pupils shrank abruptly. Without thinking, he hurled the Chaos Bell into the sky. The bell resounded and transformed into a huge phantom, protecting the demons of the Demon Court within it.
Unfortunately, we were still a step too late.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands, nearly a million, of demon soldiers perished.
Those demon soldiers were all elites of the demon court, many of whom had reached the level of Golden Immortal or Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, they were powerless to resist this sudden attack.
Some were struck by the spiritual treasures and turned to ashes, some were strangled by the power of the laws and their souls were annihilated in the void, and some were even annihilated by the aftershocks.
Screams, the sound of weapons shattering, and the roar of magical treasures mingled together, echoing throughout the heavens and earth. The once orderly and disciplined demon court was instantly transformed into a hellish scene.
"Primordial Beginning, Styx, you're courting death!"
With a fierce shout, Taiyi hurled the Eastern Emperor Bell straight at Yuanshi.
"snort!"
Yuanshi gave a cold snort, and auspicious clouds from all heavens appeared above his head.
"Clang!"
The sound of the bell resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world. Yuanshi retreated tens of thousands of miles before regaining his footing, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
It is clear that the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell is ultimately superior.
The ten demon generals also made their move, but their main task was to protect the demon soldiers. However, there were too many Grand Luo Golden Immortals on the Styx side.
Their defenses were as flimsy as paper, crumbling in an instant.
Faced with the sudden attack of over a thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals, they could barely protect themselves, let alone their demon soldiers.
In an instant, countless more demon soldiers fell and vanished into the air.
"Primordial Beginning, Kunpeng!"
Styx knew that Taiyi, protected by a supreme treasure, was the most difficult to deal with, so he immediately summoned Yuanshi and Kunpeng, wanting to fight Taiyi together with the two of them.
Yuanshi and Kunpeng were not fools either, and immediately joined forces with him to besiege Taiyi.
As for the other Great Luo Golden Immortals, some dealt with the Ten Great Demon Generals, while others dealt with the other Great Luo Immortals.
Even though most of the matches are two against one, Ronaldo still has many opponents he can't find.
They naturally set their sights on ordinary demon soldiers and generals.
The Taiyi Golden Immortal and the Daluo Golden Immortal may seem to be only one step apart, but without spiritual treasures by their side, the two are not even on the same level.
Needless to say, those below Taiyi are even less relevant.
Faced with the attacks of numerous Great Luo Immortals, ordinary demon soldiers and generals were utterly powerless to resist.
This was a one-sided massacre.
Demon soldiers and generals were falling every moment, and Taiyi and the others, who were tied down, could only watch helplessly, unable to provide any assistance.
Even when those powerful figures like Luo Teng make their move, they will likely still face certain death.
Deep within the sea of blood, in the Pangu Palace.
"The Primordial Beginning and the Styx River are no ordinary places. They have managed to gather so many Great Luo Golden Immortals. Even my Wu Clan is far inferior to them."
Gonggong said with a solemn expression.
Although the Witch Clan is strong, there are only twelve Ancestral Witches among the Great Luo Golden Immortals. Facing more than a thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals, their fate will not be much better than that of the Demon Court.
The only variable is that the Witch Clan possesses the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, which can summon the Father God's Dharma Image, whose strength is no less than that of a Quasi-Saint level powerhouse.
Zhu Rong immediately retorted angrily, "Why boost the morale of others while diminishing our own? What harm is there in having more Great Luo Golden Immortals?"
"With our Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation unleashed, even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal can be taken down with a single axe stroke. What is there to fear?"
Gonggong said irritably, "How do you know they don't have other means?"
More than a thousand Great Luo represent more than a thousand Dao.
"A single wise person can easily create a heaven-reaching array."
"you……"
"alright!"
Zhu Rong wanted to say something more, but Di Jiang stopped her with a single word.
"Whether it's a thousand or ten thousand Great Luo Immortals, they're all coming for us. For the survival of the Witch Clan, we must fight."
Most of the best among the three thousand mortal travelers are now here. As long as we destroy them, no one in the primordial world will dare to oppose our Wu clan again.
Dijiang stared at Minghe and the others, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent.
If Hongjun hadn't been so petty, causing Styx and the others to start a civil war first, the Wu Clan might not have been able to withstand the impact of so many powerful beings.
Even with the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, the Wu Clan doesn't have much of a chance of winning.
Xuanming asked, "When will we make our move?"
Di Jiang said, "Once they decide the victor, it won't be difficult for Styx and the others to slaughter the lowest levels of the Demon Court. We only need to annihilate Styx and the others."
Upon hearing this, the ancestral witches immediately fell silent, waiting to reap the benefits.
Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun's gaze pierced through the endless chaos and landed on the primordial forces fighting endlessly at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. An indescribable anger and helplessness surged in his heart.
How could a creature born of nature be so dull-witted?
The Demon Court led by Di Jun was like this, as was the Blood Sea forces led by Styx. All the powerful figures were blinded by their immediate interests and could not see the big picture at all.
If the three major powers of the Demon Court, the Celestial Court, and the Styx Alliance join forces to attack the Witch Clan, what strength does the Witch Clan alone have to resist?
However, this group of people ignored their common enemy and instead fought amongst themselves for temporary gains and losses, wasting the perfect opportunity to destroy the witch clan.
"Ugh!"
A long sigh, tinged with disappointment, echoed from the chaos beyond the heavens. The sound waves reverberated through the void, even causing the surrounding chaotic air currents to freeze.
With such a short-sighted and self-serving subordinate force, can his long-planned grand scheme of Heaven truly be successfully implemented?
"You lot, stop now!"
Hongjun's indifferent yet irresistible voice transmission suddenly resounded in the minds of all the participating powerful beings, including Taiyi and Styx.
The sound was like a thunderclap from the heavens, causing everyone's souls to tremble slightly. They subconsciously withdrew, and the murderous aura that filled the sky instantly ceased, temporarily halting the fierce civil war.
Styx, Yuanshi, and the others all raised their heads, their gazes coldly fixed on the purple mist rising from the heavens, their expressions filled with displeasure and wariness.
Just as the Demon Court was about to be destroyed, Hongjun intervened.
