Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 318

Above Taiwei appeared a five-colored banner carved with dragons and phoenixes and decorated with countless true forms of demons. This was the Calamity Demon Banner, the supreme treasure of Taixu that Taiwei obtained after reforging the Heavenly Serpent Mace.

The chaotic turbid energy within the Heavenly Serpent Mace is one of the two great primordial energies of chaos, possessing an extremely sublime essence. Taiwei repeatedly refined the essence of the Heavenly Serpent Mace with the origins of the sun and moon, thus transforming the chaotic turbid energy into the true primordial chaos energy.

This step did not elevate the chaotic turbid energy into the primordial energy of the Great Void, but it did give the Calamity Demon Banner a part of the primordial energy of the Great Void, namely the ability to directly sever the connection between all things.

The moment this ability appeared, Taiwei felt an extremely profound change within himself. His Demon Emperor body seemed to have completely merged with this divine power at that moment, and the Calamity Demon Banner became Taiwei's second body.

As Taiwei entered the Divine Witch Great World, he continuously practiced the Transcendence Method and the True Self Method, and he had gained a relatively deep understanding of the essence of the Great Luo Dao Lord.

When this ability appeared, Taiwei sensed that it seemed to have a very subtle connection with the essence of the Great Luo Daojun. This ability naturally became the most fundamental and most powerful ability of the Calamity Heaven Demon Banner.

The Calamity Banner undulated slightly above Taiwei, its five-colored surface radiating light, and strands of firefly light silently slaughtered countless witches in the Xuanming tribe.

The connection between body and soul, memory and spirit, desire and mind, individual life and nature—all these connections within the bodies of all the witches in the Xuanming tribe were severed in the instant these countless fireflies fell.

Silently, the immense power emanating from the Calamity Demon Banner had already wiped out billions of witches from the Xuanming tribe. Upon witnessing this scene, Zhuzhao and Youying were genuinely awestruck by the terrifying power of the Taixu Treasure.

If the two of them could fully control the Sun Star and the Moon Star in the primordial world, these two supreme stars would definitely not be weaker than the Supreme Treasure of the Void. However, in this world of gods and witches, Zhuzhao and Youying cannot achieve absolute control over the Sun Star and the Moon Star in this realm.

Therefore, over the years, Zhuzhao and Youying have been thinking about whether they could refine their own unique Taixu Treasure after the demon race grows stronger in the future.

Taiyi's cultivation level is at the peak of the primordial world. He may know more about the Great Luo Daojun realm than Taiwei. The moment the Calamity Demon Banner appeared, Taiyi's eyes narrowed. The Chaos Bell vibrated slightly at this moment and emitted a melodious bell sound.

"The Fruit of the Dao..."

In fact, this was the first time Taiwei had used the Calamity Demon Banner's power. Seeing the billions of witches around him die in an instant, Taiwei was shocked. Although the fully unsealed Taixu Treasure could also do this, it certainly wouldn't be so easy.

The Calamity Demon Banner's ability is definitely related to the Great Luo Dao Lord, and Taiwei himself can also use this ability, but naturally, it's not as easy for him to use this divine power as it is for the Calamity Demon Banner.

After calming himself down, Taiwei looked at the countless corpses of the Wu Clan below and then at Taiyi, Zhuzhao, and Youying: "Let's begin. Hopefully, our deductions are correct."

"There is absolutely no chance of any mistakes, unless the Witch Clan has experienced such concentrated large-scale casualties before, and also performed a blood sacrifice, which is highly unlikely."

Zhu Zhao spoke in a cold voice, saying that the main deductions for this plan had been handed over to him, and he had absolute confidence in the results of his deductions.

Nodding, Taiwei remained silent, exchanging a glance with Taiyi. The Chaos Bell and the Calamity Demon Banner shone brightly, their immense power transforming into a surging rainbow that enveloped the entire Xuanming region.

Countless corpses and souls of the Wu Clan collapsed under the immense power of the two supreme treasures of the Void, and in the blink of an eye, strands of extremely pure scarlet blood transformed into a winding river of blood.

This river of blood is the essence of all the witches in the Xuanming tribe. Although it is quite mixed, the amount is indeed considerable. As Zhuzhao and Youying looked at the emerging river of blood, the golden and silver sun and moon powers intertwined in front of them, and two large round stones appeared above the Xuanming tribe.

As the golden and silver boulders slowly came together, a millstone covered with gold and silver patterns took shape. The Chaos Bell and the Calamity Demon Banner vibrated together, and boundless power, driving the blood river fused with the essence of billions of witches, slowly poured into the Sun and Moon Millstone.

A dazzling brilliance continuously shone forth, as the essence and blood of countless witches were refined and sublimated within the great millstone of the sun and moon, by an extremely pure and vast source.

The Sun and Moon Millstone is a treasure of creation forged by Zhuzhao and Youying over the years using the essence of the Sun and Moon stars. The forging of this treasure of creation consumed a large amount of the essence of the Sun and Moon, making it extremely precious.

However, the Sun and Moon Millstone can only be used once, and its true function is to purify and sublimate a substance indefinitely.

Taiwei and the others have already deduced that every member of the Wu clan inherits the bloodline of Pangu and can be considered a descendant of Pangu. They also contain extremely rare Pangu blood within their bodies. The Pangu Palace of the Wu clan can only be entered by ancestral witches who evolved from Pangu's blood.

That's why Taiwei and others crafted the Sun and Moon Millstone, in order to extract a drop of Pangu's heart blood from the bloodlines of countless ordinary witches and create an ancestral witch out of thin air.

Only the Ancestral Witches could enter the Pangu Palace, so Taiwei and the others created a thirteenth Ancestral Witch to lead them into the Pangu Palace.

The golden and silver light within the Great Millstone of the Sun and Moon burned ever more intensely. The enormous river of blood continuously flowed into the Great Millstone of the Sun and Moon, yet there was no sign of any disturbance. Taiwei and the other three were not in a hurry and simply stood there quietly waiting.

A thousand years later, the entire blood river had completely disappeared. At this moment, the Great Millstone of the Sun and Moon finally emitted strands of pure and vast blood light, and the desolate and ancient true meaning of the Great Dao emanated. Taiwei, Taiyi, Zhuzhao, and Youying smiled, and their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, were finally at ease.

The great millstone of the sun and moon slowly disappeared, and a drop of pure and vast Pangu's heart blood, which looked like a blood-red lotus, appeared in front of Taiwei and the other three. Looking at this drop of Pangu's heart blood, Taiwei and the others seemed to see a supreme ancestral god who tore through chaos and separated the clear and turbid from the sun and moon.

Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Taiwei and the other three regained their senses and continued to develop their supernatural powers.

Zhuzhao and Youying infused the essence of the sun and moon after the collapse of the Great Millstone of Sun and Moon into this drop of Pangu's heart blood, while Taiwei and Taiyi drew upon the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to begin shaping this thirteenth ancestral witch of the Great God-Witch World.

The drop of Pangu's blood that Taiwei and the others evolved was not complete, or rather, its foundation was incomplete, and it could not exist for long, so Taiwei and the others needed to hurry.

In any case, it was just a tool to bring them into the Pangu Palace, and the four of them, including Taiwei, did not intend to give this thirteenth ancestral witch a high level of combat power.

Under the watchful eyes of four top-tier powerful beings, Pangu's blood essence began to evolve rapidly amidst a series of ripples. A hundred years later, the four Taiwei beings created a thirteenth ancestral witch whose cultivation level was only at the Heavenly Immortal realm and who was no match for ordinary witches.

With a lion's head and a human body, holding dragons in both hands and a snake's tail coiled around it, this ancestral witch was born and had not yet opened its eyes when Taiyi directly absorbed it into the Chaos Bell. Taiyi's will entered the body of this thirteenth ancestral witch, and Taiyi carefully felt the many supernatural powers possessed by this thirteenth ancestral witch. The Chaos Bell played softly.

"Our deduction was correct; it is indeed possible to enter the Pangu Palace using the bloodline of the Ancestral Witches."

An extremely obscure and desolate power emerged before Taiwei and the other three. The Pangu blood of the thirteen Ancestral Witches was burning rapidly, and a dark and deep void appeared above Taiwei and the other three. Seeing the appearance of this void, Taiwei and the other three knew that their plan had been more than half successful.

Taiwei, riding the Calamity Banner, took the lead and flew into the void. The chaotic and disordered spacetime power around him was torn apart by the Calamity Banner, and the power to cut everything off burst forth again. The raging floods, thunder and fire in front of Taiwei were easily extinguished by the power of the Calamity Banner.

As the light suddenly appeared, the Calamity Banner severed Taiwei's connection with the outside world. This state of near-transcendence allowed Taiwei to ignore the twelve incoming divine powers. With his footsteps on the hard stone slabs, Taiwei found himself in a vast, silent, cold, and rugged magnificent stone palace.

There were no fewer than tens of thousands of roads leading in all directions, each extending into the boundless darkness. Directly in front of a huge, boiling lake of blood, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, their faces filled with shock and anger, were staring intently at Taiwei.

"Gentlemen, how have you been?"

The Calamity Banner danced, its immense power severing everything and cutting off the space-time between him and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The countless divine powers unleashed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches created ripples in front of Taiwei, but they could not harm him in the slightest. Taiyi, Zhuzhao, and Youying also stepped out from behind Taiwei one after another.

The four demon emperors directly invaded the Pangu Palace, something the Twelve Ancestral Witches had never expected. Di Jiang looked at Taiwei and the others in front of him with a gloomy expression, his silver eyes falling on the Chaos Bell above Taiyi's head.

Within this supreme treasure of the Void, Dijiang sensed the aura of the Ancestral Witch of the same origin. It was precisely because of the protection of this Ancestral Witch's aura that Taiwei and the others were not attacked by this supreme treasure after entering the Pangu Palace.

Without uttering a word, the Twelve Ancestral Witches forbade anyone other than themselves from entering the Pangu Palace. Ignoring their still-healing injuries, the Twelve Ancestral Witches directly activated the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation within the Pangu Palace.

Countless crimson entanglements and coils appeared. Taiwei watched as the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation gradually took shape. Above his head, the Calamity Demon Banner once again released countless glowing lights, but this time, the Calamity Demon Banner's power did not resonate.

All the fireflies seemed to pass directly through the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation like phantoms. Although Taiwei felt a little regretful about this, he was not too surprised.
