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

Chapter 145 Measuring the Tribulation

With the Three Pure Ones blocking the way, Nuwa was powerless to intervene in the Lich War. Therefore, Nuwa did not come out, harboring resentment towards the Three Pure Ones while worrying about Fuxi.

Previously in Zixiao Palace, Hongjun told him that Fuxi still had a glimmer of hope, but whether this glimmer of hope would come true, and how it would come true, was uncertain.

Nuwa was naturally worried about Fuxi, but there was nothing she could do but watch helplessly as Fuxi faced his calamity.

The great war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan has raged for hundreds of years, with countless lives lost during this period.

This was a catastrophe that affected the entire primordial world. In the Netherworld, the Underworld continued to operate, continuously drawing in countless souls.

However, all these souls were crowded in the underworld and unable to be reincarnated.

Even the eighteen levels of hell had to be used as a temporary place to house these souls.

In addition, some powerful ghosts, unwilling to die, stirred up trouble in the underworld, wanting to rebel against it.

However, it is conceivable that the underworld has the ten Yama Kings of Xuanhuang incarnated to guard it, and the Styx River as the Lord of the Asura Path assists in managing the six realms of reincarnation.

The more powerful these ghosts were, the more the Styx River was moved, and they all surrendered, intending to plead with Xuanhuang to allow these ghosts to be reborn as Asuras.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Di Jun's Slaughtering Witch Sword and the hidden Witch Thirteen of the Witch Clan had already been exposed.

First, Di Jun used the Slaughtering Witch Sword in an attempt to kill Zhu Jiuyin, since Zhu Jiuyin was the strategist of the Witch Clan and posed the greatest threat to the Demon Clan.

Unexpectedly, in the critical moment, Zhu Jiuyin, relying on the power of the time law, actually sensed the danger and used strange witchcraft.

Although he was still slashed by Dijiang's sword and suffered some injuries, he avoided a fatal blow.

Seeing that Zhu Jiuyin's true form had been easily slashed and wounded, the Ancestral Witches were filled with fear and became extremely cautious about the Witch-Slaying Sword in Di Jun's hand.

When he fought Di Jun again, he no longer relied on the power of the Ancestral Witch's true form to fight head-on, but instead used the power of laws and divine abilities to attack.

This greatly reduced the effectiveness of Di Jun's Slaughtering Witch Sword, but with the Slaughtering Witch Sword in hand, he was spared from being attacked at close range by the Ancestral Witches.

Overall, the Witch-Slaying Sword has made a significant contribution.

Secondly, Wu Shisan's surprise attack also failed; it was neither Di Jun, nor Taiyi, Kunpeng, nor Fuxi who discovered him.

Wu Shisan was about to succeed, approaching Taiyi and about to make his move, but was suddenly attacked by Xihe, who unleashed the Sun Essence Wheel to slash him.

At first, Xihe thought Wu Shisan was just an ordinary great shaman, but who would have thought that Wu Shisan would actually withstand a blow from the Sun Essence Wheel and be unharmed.

The strength of the Thirteenth Ancestral Witch was thus exposed.

Xihe, along with her younger sister Changxi, also joined the battle.

Although the two of them have never been particularly strong in combat, they have now reached the most crucial moment and have no choice but to be deployed.

The two sisters joined forces, but they still managed to hold back one of the Ancestral Witches.

The war raged for hundreds of years, with countless deaths and injuries on both the witch and demon races. However, the malevolent energy of heaven and earth continued to surge and churn, showing no signs of abating, but instead growing even stronger.

The battle raged on for a long time. Although Di Jun wielded the Witch-Slaying Sword, he managed to wound three or four more Ancestral Witches.

However, two of his three incarnations were also destroyed, leaving only his original self intact.

In addition, Taiyi, Kunpeng and Fuxi were in a similar situation; their three incarnations had all been destroyed by the Ancestral Witches in this great battle.

Although the Ancestral Witches paid a heavy price, their physical bodies were simply too strong, and the Ancestral Witches were always on guard against the Slaughtering Sword. Therefore, to this day, the Ancestral Witches have not been able to kill a single one of them.

It is conceivable that if this great battle continues, although some of the Ancestral Witches might die eventually due to their powerful physical bodies, their side will be completely wiped out.

Although the cultivation system of the Wu Clan is not mainstream, it has shown its advantages at this moment.

That is, they are extremely good at fighting, especially in protracted wars and wars of attrition. The longer the battle lasts, the more advantageous it is for the Ancestral Witches.

Moreover, looking at the other side, Xihe and Changxi were fighting against Tianwu, the ancestor of wind, and at this time they were also gradually showing signs of weakness.

Seeing this, Di Jun, though unwilling, gritted his teeth and said to everyone, "We're not fighting them anymore. Set up the Zhou Tian Star Formation!"

As Di Jun spoke, he activated the Hetu and Luoshu, which suddenly burst forth with a strong light.

Then the ancestral witches felt as if the surrounding space was expanding infinitely, and they were forcibly pushed away to a distance.

Looking over there, one could see Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng, Fu Xi, Xi He, and Chang Xi all gathered together.

"Boom!"

As darkness fell, the billowing evil clouds that had been sealed off by malevolent energy were forcibly torn apart.

Then, one after another, enormous stars descended, shining brightly above the heads of Di Jun and the others.

These stars were actually real, real stars. When they fell into the primordial world, their terrifying gravity instantly made the twelve ancestral witches somewhat alarmed.

"Dijiang, let me show you just how powerful the true Zhou Tian Star Array really is!"

Di Jun shouted loudly.

On those stars, countless demons appeared, waving star banners and drawing the stars to form a great formation.

At this moment, to everyone's astonishment, a boundless array was formed, with stars rotating.

The rumbling sound resounded throughout the entire primordial world, and the Three Realms trembled slightly as a result.

This Zhou Tian Star Array is absolutely more powerful than ever before, far surpassing any previous one.

Even the saints, upon witnessing this scene, couldn't help but be moved and become solemn.

Because they sensed that the power contained within the Zhou Tian Star Array at this moment even surpassed their own.

A powerful formation, even stronger than theirs?

At this moment, the saints were both startled and somewhat flustered, as they felt as if they had miscalculated something.

If the demon race's formation is this powerful, what about the witch race's? Can the witch race's formation match the power of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation?

Or, could the current Pangu true form, formed by the combination of the twelve ancestral witches, reach this level?

If that's not the case, with one side strong and the other weak, wouldn't the demon race actually have a chance to win and become the true protagonist?

But wasn't fate destined for both races to lose? How could this be? Has fate changed?

The saints felt a chill in their hearts, but they were powerless to intervene or predict the future, for the great calamity had already reached its final stage.

The demon race unleashed the Zhou Tian Star Array, even treating each star as a magical treasure and introducing it into the primordial world.

At this point, only saints like the Three Pure Ones, each possessing supreme treasures, might be able to forcefully intervene and clash head-on with the Zhou Tian Star Array.

If it were the two Western Saints, they would probably turn around and run away as soon as they faced this Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

We simply can't beat them.

With the help of a great formation, the demon race is in no way inferior to the saints in terms of strength.

"Boom!!"

At the same time, Di Jun and the others joined the Zhou Tian Star Array and activated it. Instantly, the terrifying gravitational pull of the stars was gathered into a beam, invisible and intangible, and attacked the Wu Clan in the prehistoric world.

Regardless of their size, those struck by this gravitational pull died instantly, turning into a blood mist.

Its destructive power is terrifying beyond belief.

Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches were trapped in the great formation, and a constant stream of attacks were being launched at them.

Finally, the twelve Ancestral Witches could no longer bear it. They roared and each took a Heavenly God and Demon Banner and activated it.

A massive, menacing formation was instantly created.

The Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons.
