Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 144 Great Battle

The time when the great calamity will fully erupt is the time after ten cycles of time have passed, and the world will be filled with murderous aura.

However, everyone knew that the great calamity had arrived.

Not long after the demon race created the Slaughtering Witch Sword, in the Pangu Palace of the witch race, the chosen great witch successfully absorbed the ancestral witch essence blood left by Houtu.

He became the thirteenth Ancestral Witch, and was therefore also known as Witch Thirteen or the Thirteenth Witch.

This Wu Shisan is essentially a weakened version of Houtu, and her strength has barely reached the level of a quasi-saint.

It's sufficient, at least for forming the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons.

The ancestral witches all breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to busy themselves with preparations for the great battle.

……

However, on the eve of the great war between the two races, a great calamity, it is said that deep within the blissful sacred realm of Mount Sumeru.

The place of seclusion for receiving guidance.

Suddenly, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth swept into it. Upon seeing this, Zhunti was first startled, and then overjoyed.

"It's done?!"

Zhunti hurriedly went to wait outside the place where Jieyin was in seclusion. After a long time, Jieyin finally emerged from seclusion.

Zhunti looked at Jieyin with expectant eyes, and when Jieyin nodded, Zhunti couldn't help but smile.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Congratulations! Senior Brother has finally severed the Three Corpses!" Zhunti congratulated Jieyin.

However, Jieyin shook his head and said, "It's too early to congratulate you. Severing the three corpses is easy, but reuniting them is difficult."

"This time, I used the method of proving the Tao in a dream, using the dream as a guide, to cut off my ego. It can be considered as opening up a new path and taking a shortcut."

"After severing my ego, my magical power increased greatly, and my cultivation level also improved significantly. However, I'm afraid my ego will be forever trapped in dreams."

"Huh? Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti's expression changed, and he asked.

Jieyin said, "If you can't find the orthodox method, you have to find another way. That's all there is to it. Even Senior Brother Taiqing did the same thing. It's just that my aptitude is a bit worse than his. I could only come up with the method of severing the three corpses in the dream. By trapping myself in the dream, I can also say that I have severed the three corpses. However, it will be much more difficult to reunite the three corpses in the future."

As he spoke, Jieyin pointed and passed on the Dream-Based Three Corpses Severing Technique that he had comprehended to Zhunti, saying, "I have also passed on this technique to you. As for whether you want to sever your corpse in this way, that is up to you."

"Remember, don't act impulsively, think it through before you do it."

Seeing that Zhunti seemed eager to make a move, Jieyin gave another instruction.

Zhunti nodded and said, "I will listen to my senior brother. But what is the difference between orthodox and unorthodox methods of the Great Dao? Just because Zhen Yuanzi is right, does that mean we can't succeed? Senior brother, we can sever the three corpses, and we can certainly merge the three corpses and catch up with them step by step."

When Jieyin heard what Zhunti said, he pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright."

……

The act of cutting off one's self within a dream was not a major event, and with the protection of the Cundi Dharma, no one knew about it for the time being.

Another powerful individual has emerged in this world who has severed their three corpses. Of course, Jieyin was already a saint, and severing his ego after becoming a saint did not significantly increase his cultivation level; it merely strengthened his foundation.

However, putting aside the situation on the side of the guide, let's talk about the final battle between the liches and demons, which broke out extremely suddenly.

But no one expected that the Witch Clan would launch a surprise attack, with the eleven Ancestral Witches actually taking the initiative to invade the Thirty-Three Heavens.

It should be noted that the Thirty-Three Heavens is the stronghold of the demon race, and the Zhou Tian Star Array is suspended in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Eleven Ancestral Witches storming in like this felt like sending lambs to the slaughter.

However, the attack by the ancestral witches still had a significant effect.

At least at the beginning, the demon race had no time to react before they were slaughtered by the eleven ancestral witches, suffering countless casualties.

However, the demon race quickly realized what was happening, and countless powerful demon warriors launched an attack.

A demon god commanded a large army, forming a great formation that surrounded and trapped the ancestral witches one by one.

Although it was still difficult to stop the slaughter by these ancestral witches, they managed to hold on until Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng and Fu Xi arrived.

Seeing this, the four roared and rushed forward to fight the eleven ancestral witches. However, the eleven ancestral witches did not linger in the battle, having already achieved their goal.

At this moment, he hurriedly withdrew from the Thirty-Three Heavens, leaving the Zhou Tian Star Array no time to adjust.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng, and Fu Xi were naturally unwilling to give up, and they shouted orders, summoning the entire demon army to come out.

They chased after them from both sides.

The eleven Ancestral Witches had already revealed their true forms and were fighting fiercely with Di Jun, Tai Yi, and others high in the sky.

"Boom!"

This great war of calamity finally erupted, with boundless malevolent energy shrouding the entire cosmos.

Endless killing intent permeated the heavens and the earth.

Above the sky, the demon army was on the move, led by powerful demon gods, with each army consisting of hundreds of demons, wielding various magical artifacts and treasures, and marching towards the primordial land.

On the vast and desolate land, there were countless armies of the Wu tribe. Although the total number of Wu tribe members was much smaller than that of the demon tribe, the number of armies they formed was still considerable. Moreover, the Wu tribe's army was not only composed of Wu tribe members, but also included those races and forces that had submitted to the Wu tribe.

They also joined this massive, calamity-shattering war. In addition, those powerful beings who were caught up in the calamity also took advantage of its outbreak to join the battle.

In the midst of countless eons, cause and effect are intertwined. To escape this calamity, there is only one word: kill! Regardless of good or evil, right or wrong, the more you kill, the more karmic ties are resolved, and the more hope you have for survival.

Otherwise, either you kill others, or others kill you. Therefore, during this great calamity, everyone is fighting desperately for that last glimmer of hope.

The only exception would probably be the saints and their disciples under their protection, who would be completely unaffected by the great calamity.

They were the only outsiders to this catastrophe, while all other living beings were caught in its midst.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, within the Xuanhuang Heaven, Xuanhuang silently watched this great battle, where Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Fuxi were locked in fierce combat with eleven Ancestral Witches.

In this great battle, both sides fought with all their might, until the heavens and earth trembled and the sun, moon, and stars shook violently.

At this moment, how powerful was Di Jun's cultivation? In the entire world, even a saint could not completely sever the three corpses.

He was one of them, and his cultivation at the late Quasi-Saint stage allowed him to hold the upper hand against four or five Ancestral Witches.

Moreover, Di Jun also possesses the Slaughtering Witch Sword, waiting for an opportunity to create an unexpected outcome.

Of course, the Ancestral Witches were not reckless. Although they rushed into the Thirty-Three Heavens and lured out the four powerful figures of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, they were also prepared to ambush them.

The thirteenth ancestral witch, Witch Thirteen, was carefully lying in wait, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack!

At the same time, besides watching the great battle between these demon emperors and ancestral witches, Xuanhuang couldn't help but look at the other side of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

On that side was Nuwa's sacred site, the Wa Huang Palace. At this moment, outside the Wa Huang Palace, three Taoist priests sat cross-legged, blocking the way out of the palace.

These three Taoist priests, one old, one young, and one middle-aged, were none other than the Three Pure Ones. Moreover, they were the true forms of the Three Pure Ones.

After the Three Pure Ones separated, their relationship became somewhat distant, but they remained brothers. Now, they are working together to stop Nuwa, all to prevent her from participating in this great battle.
