Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 317 Intrusion

However, before the Great Sun Tathagata could relax, a clanging sound like the vibration of a bowstring rang out, and the still Qianshan was engulfed in brilliant five-colored flames. A terrifying power far beyond everyone's imagination forcibly broke free from the restraints of the Dharma Realm Seal.

With a low shout emanating from Qianshan, whose forehead veins bulged, the Futian Staff, carrying a blazing flame, flew like a rainbow and smashed the Great Sun Tathagata away. The belated roar stirred up countless primordial energy tides, and the mountain range pierced by the Great Sun Tathagata in the distance slowly collapsed at this moment.

With glistening drops of blood appearing on his arms, Qian Shan looked at the astonished Crimson Demon Master and the solemn Xuan Tian Daoist, and swung his Heaven-Subduing Staff down once more.

The Crimson Demon Master was not well-known before, but his origins can be traced back to the beginning of the primordial world. As one of the first beings to be born, the Crimson Demon Master was not weak in terms of talent. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and always lagged behind those top-level powerhouses.

However, in terms of foundation, the Red Di Demon Master is no weaker than Tai Shang, Tai Yi and others who had not yet transformed into top-level Primordial True Saints. In the three red lotus buds behind him, three incarnations cultivated by the Red Di Demon Master himself are being nurtured: one divine incarnation, one immortal incarnation, and one Buddhist incarnation.

The power of the three incarnations could be temporarily merged with that of the Crimson Demon Master. With this supernatural power, the Crimson Demon Master also possessed the combat power to contend with the Primordial True Saint, and his strength was not much weaker than that of the Great Sun Tathagata.

Xuan Tian Dao Ren was carefully nurtured by the three Heavenly Venerables of Xuanmen, and his combat strength and foundation were no weaker than anyone of the same level. The three great powers of Da Ri Ru Lai, Chi Di Mo Shi, and Xuan Tian Dao Ren together were enough to contend with Qian Shan.

The battle of the four powerful beings stirred up endless malevolent energy in the northern wilderness, and the war between the North Sea Dragon Clan and the four royal clans was temporarily halted because of the four from Qianshan.

Qian Shan initially thought that his transformation into a top-tier Primordial True Saint would allow him to easily suppress the three, including the Great Sun Tathagata. However, as the battle progressed, the Great Sun Tathagata, the Crimson Demon Master, and the Xuan Tian Daoist each revealed their true trump cards.

The Great Sun Tathagata merged his three great mudras: the Great Sun Dharma Realm Mudra, the Dharma Realm Mudra, and the Vajra Realm Freedom Mudra. After the three great mudras were merged, the All-Light Mudra was born.

As soon as this hand seal appeared, the aura of Vairocana Buddha began to rise infinitely. The vast Buddhist power accumulated in the Buddhist community was transformed into extremely bright and dazzling Buddhist light. Surrounded by immeasurable power, Vairocana Buddha actually possessed a vast aura no weaker than a thousand mountains.

The Radiant Seal continued to unleash its power, and even the Thousand Mountains could not get any closer to the Great Sun Tathagata for a time.

The Crimson Demon Master completely integrated his three avatars into his body, using the true meanings of earth, fire, wind, and water to fuse his four bodies, thus creating a chaotic demonic body that was no weaker than the top-tier Primordial True Saint Treasure Body.

With the aid of the Chaos Demon Body, the Crimson Demon Master's combat power, though not yet at the level of the Great Sun Tathagata, was still able to cause some interference to Qianshan.

Finally, the tortoise and snake transformed beneath the feet of the Xuan Tian Dao Ren, and the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, movement and stillness, evolved into a power of stillness that was even more magnificent than the Dharma Realm Seal of the Great Sun Tathagata.

With the support of the power of movement and stillness, Xuan Tian Dao Ren's combat power increased infinitely, while Qian Shan's own condition was severely disturbed, and most of his great power was restricted.

Thus, the three of them—Mahāsāra, Crimson Demon Master, and Xuantian Daoist—joined forces and managed to fight Qianshan to a draw. Qianshan, on the other hand, continuously unleashed his power, his primordial holy ape bloodline boiling. Qianshan did not want to be defeated by these three people after just transforming into a top-tier Primordial True Saint.

The battle between the four from Qianshan attracted the attention of many powerful beings. At present, the Mandate of the Second Era has not yet been widely spread, so these powerful beings are temporarily idle and have the leisure to watch the battle between the four from Qianshan.

While the many powerful beings in the primordial world were enjoying their leisure, Taiwei in the world of gods and witches had just finished reforging the Heavenly Serpent Mace. Ten thousand years had just passed, and Taiwei was exhausted both physically and mentally after reforging a supreme treasure of the Void.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the Sun and the Moon, Taiwei only spent a little over a hundred years to adjust its condition back to normal.

Shortly after entering the Divine Witch Great World, Youying infiltrated the Zhurong tribe and used demonic secret techniques to kill a great witch of the Zhurong tribe, thus disguising herself as a great witch of the witch clan.

Although Youying was later discovered by Zhurong, she still obtained the most core secret of the Wu tribe: the Wu tribe possessed the Pangu Palace, which was formed from the heart of Pangu, or rather, half of the Pangu Palace.

The Divine Witch Great Heaven and Earth is an eternal great heaven and earth evolved from the Primordial Heavenly Dao. The Primordial Heavenly Dao used the heart left behind by Pangu as the foundation to re-evolve a Pangu, and opened up the Divine Witch Great Heaven and Earth in the Great Void Chaos.

After the creation of the world, the newly born Pangu also transformed the heavens and earth. The twelve drops of blood in Pangu's body transformed into twelve ancestral witches, and half of Pangu's heart transformed into the Pangu Palace, the treasure of the witch clan.

It can be said that in the original plan of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, the Wu Clan was the legitimate successor of the Divine Wu Great Heaven and Earth, and the Primordial Heavenly Dao did not object to the Wu Clan taking control of the Divine Wu Great Heaven and Earth.

However, what happened later was something that even the Primordial Heavenly Dao did not expect. Half of Pangu's heart transformed into the Pangu Palace, while the other half of his heart slowly merged into the Divine Witch Great World, affecting the Heavenly Dao's will of the Divine Witch Great World.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were in charge of the Pangu Palace, discovered the heart of Pangu in the original space of the Divine Witch Heavenly Dao through the Pangu Palace. The Twelve Ancestral Witches then began to use the power of the Pangu Palace to continuously influence the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Witch Great World, thereby allowing the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Witch Great World to break free from the control of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

It is because of the Pangu Palace that the Twelve Ancestral Witches can influence the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm to a certain extent. Once the remaining half of Pangu's heart is completely integrated with the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm, the Twelve Ancestral Witches will be able to use the Pangu Palace to completely control the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm.

The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was created by the Twelve Ancestral Witches through their understanding of Pangu's heart. It was a great formation used to promote the fusion of Pangu's heart and the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Witches. The so-called evolution of Pangu's true form was just another way of using the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.

In recent years, every million years, the Twelve Ancestral Witches have used the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to control the heart of Pangu and continuously merge with the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Witch Great World.

According to the predictions of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, at most ten more times, Pangu's heart will be completely integrated into the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Witch Great World, and the Witch Clan will be able to completely control the myriad phenomena of the Divine Witch Great World in one go.

However, all of this was disrupted by the newly emerged demon race. In order to fight against Taiwei and others, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had no choice but to burn their own essence and blood to evolve the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation. Each time the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation was evolved, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would be weakened for a long time.

That is why the Twelve Ancestral Witches used to evolve the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation once every million years. Now that the Twelve Ancestral Witches have just evolved the true form of Pangu, they must still be in decline.

Taiwei and Taiyi's plan was to infiltrate the Pangu Palace and use it to help the demon race deduce a supreme formation that was no weaker than the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, which could control the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Witches to a certain extent.

With the Heavenly Dao of an eternal and vast universe as their assistant, Taiwei and Taiyi were confident in deducing a supreme formation comparable to the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.

In fact, Taiwei and Taiyi had already been deduce the grand formation in advance. Taiwei and Taiyi had similar ideas, and both of them were preparing to deduce a top-level grand formation based on the Star Dao.

Taiyi used the Ziwei Star, the Sun Star, and the Moon Star as its foundation to deduce a grand array of celestial constellations, while Taiwei used the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—the four celestial spirits—to govern the twenty-eight constellations and evolve a grand array of twenty-eight constellations.

These two great formations have exhausted the mental strength of Taiwei and Taiyi. These two great formations are already the most top-level great formations in the world. However, these two great formations alone are far from being able to resist the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Formation of the Wu Clan. Therefore, Taiwei and Taiyi need to rely on the great power of the Heavenly Dao of the Great Wu Clan.

The reforging of the Heavenly Serpent Mace is complete. Taiwei, Taiyi, Zhuzhao, and Youying have quietly arrived in the Xuanming Tribe. Currently, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch has returned to the Pangu Palace to heal her injuries, so the entire Xuanming Tribe is completely undefended for Taiwei and the other three.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches guessed that Taiwei and the others might take advantage of their healing time to weaken the Witch Clan's strength as much as possible. Therefore, the Xuanming army only left a portion of the Witch Clan's forces behind, while the Witch Clan's true elite forces had already been transferred to other places by the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

The moment Taiwei entered the Xuanming tribe, he sensed the overwhelming aura of the Heavenly Gods and Demons permeating the entire tribe. This spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which has a strong corrosive effect on any living being, was actually a great tonic for the Wu tribe.

In this vast tribe of the Wu clan, permeated with the aura of the gods and demons of the heavens, Taiwei and his companions also needed to be extra careful. Within this aura of the gods and demons of the heavens, tiny incantations would occasionally flash, clearly indicating that these were miniature formations evolved by the twelve ancestral witches to guard against Taiwei and the others.

As long as Taiwei and the others touch these celestial and demonic energies, their demonic energy will instantly erupt, attracting the attention of the Wu Clan.

Under the leadership of Taiyi, Kunpeng, and others, the demon race has now begun to get on the right track, and its fortune has increased considerably. This time, it is to ensure that the demons have the same foundation as the witch race, so Taiwei and Taiyi have not been stingy.

Taiwei and Taiyi directly used the demon race's fortune to unseal the Taixu Supreme Treasure in their hands, and with the help of the Taixu Supreme Treasure's great power, they silently annihilated all the Heavenly Gods and Demons in the Xuanming Department.

Above Taiyi, amidst the chaos, it rose and fell upon the boundless tides of chaos. This supreme treasure of the void remained as simple and unadorned as ever. Yet, a mere wisp of its aura froze all the Wu tribes of the Xuanming Great Department in place, unable to move an inch.
