Fairy and Demon Gods

Chapter 496 Mine Clearance
For Kunpeng, the fierce battle against the four ancestral witches was not just about escaping and killing enemies, but also a brilliant plan to take advantage of the situation and turn the tables on them.

He had already planned ahead. His strength far surpassed that of a single Ancestral Witch, and he also possessed several powerful spiritual treasures. This time, facing four or five Ancestral Witches was just right, as the strength of both sides was roughly equal.

If we can take advantage of this opportunity to deplete the original magical power of the four Ancestral Witches, weaken their strength, and even leave an indelible shadow in their hearts, thus blunting their spirit and diminishing their morale, then in the future battle at Zixiao Palace, if the twelve Ancestral Witches choose to step in and assist the two Western Saints, they will definitely be hesitant and dare not go all out easily.

Even if the Ancestral Witches eventually make a move, their combat power will be greatly reduced, making it difficult for them to reach their peak state and thus unable to pose a fatal threat to the Beiming lineage.

Having faced off against each other repeatedly, Kunpeng had no more illusions.

He predicted that the Ancestral Witches would likely interfere in the struggle for the Holy Throne of Zixiao Palace, so he had to cut off their wings and weaken their potential threats in advance.

Kunpeng allowed Kunpeng to call for help, feigning a predicament of being surrounded. His true purpose was to use this desperate battle to lure the Ancestral Witch into using all his strength, squandering his magic power, and depleting his life essence.

He knew that the twelve ancestral witches usually roamed the prehistoric world, each occupying a region. This move was both to seize territory and to meet their own needs for cultivation.

In the Northern Wilderness region, at most five Ancestral Witches can be gathered in the short term, which he can easily handle with his strength.

Kunpeng had even... already calculated the number of Ancestral Witches who could come this time and their respective supernatural abilities.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas clearly records that Yu Qiang, the god of the sea and wind, Xuan Ming, the god of winter and rain, Qiang Liang, the god of thunder, and his younger sister Jiu Feng, as well as Gong Gong, the god of water, all lived and worked in the northern wilderness and the northern sea area year-round.

The reason for this is that the Northern Wilderness is a bitterly cold polar region, with frequent rain and snow, and lightning and thunder are also common. The North Sea is even more windy, with high waves and turbulent waters.

The environment here perfectly matches the fundamental principles of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, ice and snow, and cold winter, making it the ideal place for these ancestral witches to cultivate their fundamental principles!
Therefore, even if Kunpeng thought with his feet, he could almost guess most of the answers correctly. Sure enough, except that the Ancestral God of Water was replaced by the Ancestral God of Lightning, everything else was as expected!

This minor change has absolutely no impact on the overall situation!

As for whether other ancestral witches will come?

Considering the long distance, I fear these Ancestral Witches will have already fallen to me before their reinforcements arrive. With the Northern Underworld's stronghold behind me, I have the advantage of home ground, and am further strengthened by spiritual treasures and formations. Even if all twelve Ancestral Witches were to arrive, they would be no match for me!

It should be noted that this is not yet the era of "demons ruling the heavens and witches governing the earth" where there is a struggle for supremacy. The twelve ancestral witches have not yet received the immense fortune of heaven and earth, and their strength is far from reaching its peak.

Moreover, after several encounters, Kunpeng had already determined that they had not yet forged the twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Banners.

The four Ancestral Witches he fought against still only used the rudimentary form of "Serpent of Law/Energy" to fight him.

Without being certified as a Quasi-Saint and without the [Dutian Divine Fiend Banner] to gather and condense evil energy, the 12 Ancestral Witches could not condense the true body of Pangu, and therefore lacked the confidence and strength to decisively defeat Kunpeng.

The Kunpeng is naturally awe-inspiring and fearless!

What's even more amusing is that the several laws cultivated by the Ancestral Witches happen to be Kunpeng's strengths. With the added support of spiritual treasures, he is not only not afraid, but he is even better than them.

Kunpeng did not expect to achieve victory in one battle, but hoped to use skill to overcome brute force and destroy the millennia of hard work of the four ancestral witches, causing them to suffer great damage and fall into a state of half-crippled state.

He wasn't greedy. As long as the four Ancestral Witches hadn't recovered by the time of the battle for the Holy Throne and remained in a weakened state, the twelve Ancestral Witches would be unlikely to pose a fatal threat to Beiming's path to the Holy Throne!

What Kunpeng needs to do now is to clear the mines in advance, remove obstacles, weaken the enemy's combat power, and fundamentally reduce the threat and harm of the 12 Ancestral Witches.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, his fighting spirit surged again, and the power of the spiritual treasure in his hand became even stronger.

He has decided to launch a new round of fierce attacks, forcing the four ancestral witches to use their trump cards to completely drain them and end the battle as soon as possible!

After all, things can change in the long run!
