Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 195 The Great Dao of Reincarnation!

High above, the Eye of Heaven hangs in the sky, yet it has remained silent for a long time.

Soon after, a bolt of lightning descended from the Eye of Heaven, resounding throughout the heavens, as if witnessing Taiyi's words.

With that thunderclap, the Eye of Heaven gradually dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Seeing this, the powerful beings of the primordial world burst into laughter, all mocking Taiyi's overestimation of his abilities. They recalled that when Dijun established the Heavenly Court, the heavens bestowed merit upon him.

But now, when it came to Taiyi, only this thunderclap witnessed today's scene, perhaps this is a reflection of the Heavenly Court today.

The sun sets in the west and never returns!

However, Taiyi in the Heavenly Realm remained calm in the face of all this, as if none of it was happening to him.

"The ceremony continues!"

Although there was a hint of disappointment in Bai Ze's eyes, his expression remained normal. He calmly stepped forward and began to practice the demon army.

But just then, several loud laughs came from the earth, reaching all the way to the Thirty-Three Heavens!

"Taiyi, you little brat, you think you can become the Heavenly Emperor? You're just delusional and don't know your own limitations."

Dijiang led ten ancestral witches to stand atop Mount Buzhou. The true forms of the ancestral witches shook heaven and earth, with thousands of witch clansmen arrayed behind them, and many great witches unleashing their true forms.

Donghuang Taiyi was not angry. He slowly took a step forward and stood in the Heavenly Realm, facing eleven Ancestral Witches alone.

"Dijiang, regardless of whether I, Taiyi, am qualified, I dare to do it. Do you dare? You are just a mere Witch Emperor, what right do you have to laugh at me, Taiyi?"

Dijiang was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute it.

This isn't a question of whether he dares to do it, but rather whether he's willing to. He's a pragmatic person; he only takes on as much power as he can get.

This is Dijiang, the head of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Great Emperor of the Witch Court, an extremely proud man, but unfortunately his brilliance was overshadowed by his peers.

Di Jun, Tai Yi, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, or Donghua, were the most talented and accomplished innate deities since the beginning of the primordial world.

"Taiyi, you are truly shameless, to speak of such a shameless thing so openly. I despise you even more now."

Zhu Rong, standing to the side, held the Heavenly Fire Banner, pointed it at Taiyi, and shouted angrily before launching a fierce attack.

The Ancestral Witch's true form stood atop Buzhou Mountain, connecting heaven and earth. Endless power of rules mixed with turbid evil energy transformed into raging heavenly fire, which attacked Taiyi.

Faced with such a powerful attack, Taiyi simply raised his palm and casually struck out, as if he didn't take Zhurong seriously at all.

After leaving the celestial realm, this palm strike instantly transformed into a world, pressing down like the collapse of the heavens.

In an instant, it reduced Zhu Rong to nothingness and fell straight down again.

Zhu Rong was not willing to be defeated so easily. He stepped on the ground and gathered the power of his mid-stage Quasi-Saint true body into his fists and threw them out.

Fist and palm strike!

Taiichi's attack was neutralized.

But Zhu Rong, standing atop Buzhou Mountain, suddenly coughed up blood and exclaimed in disbelief, "You're actually at the peak of Quasi-Saint level!"

Donghuang Taiyi ignored Zhurong and instead focused his gaze on Dijiang.

"Dijiang, in fact, I have been waiting for you all day. I have never thought of gaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao. My position as the Heavenly Emperor does not require his consent."

"If I say it is, then it is!"

"Do you dare to ascend to the heavens and fight me?"

Dijiang's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He hadn't expected Donghuang Taiyi to be at the peak of Quasi-Saint level. After all, during the last great battle, he had only just broken through to the late Quasi-Saint stage. As for his strength after entering the demonic realm, that was beyond his cultivation level.

"Why not!"

Houtu ascended directly to the heavens and stood tall in the sky, without revealing her true form as an ancestral witch.

Donghuang Taiyi also descended from the heavens, and the two were level.

The two began to rise in power. At a certain moment, Houtu launched an attack, her longbow materializing and the Netherworld hovering behind her.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow formed from the power of the Great Dao shot out; it did not contain the three thousand Great Daos, but only a single, simple Great Dao.

Life and death, illusion and disillusionment

From birth to death.

From death to extinction,

From death to life.

When Donghuang Taiyi saw this arrow, his expression was quite moved, but he still did not use any spiritual treasures. He activated the power of the Great Dao, and the three-legged golden crow of Dharma form appeared. The golden flames of the Brahma-boiling sea were condensed into a single punch and thrown out.

With the support of a peak Quasi-Saint level power, this punch soared into the sky, shattering the void.

Two forces converged and collided in the sky.

Taiyi's punch was powerful, but it seemed powerless against Houtu's arrow.

An arrow struck Taiyi directly, piercing through him.

This scene shocked everyone, and no one could believe their eyes as they looked at Houtu.

"Another Nuwa?"

"Is Houtu going to rebel against her peak?"

This is the question on everyone's mind. Back then, Nuwa, with her Great Luo power, defeated a Quasi-Saint, shocking everyone. Today, will Houtu, with her late-stage strength, defeat a peak-level opponent?

Taiyi looked at the hole in the divine body in disbelief, then gently waved his hand over the wound, and the injury disappeared.

"What kind of path is this?"

I say: Reincarnation!

Houtu stood holding a bow, her voice faintly echoing between heaven and earth.

"Reincarnation?"

"A new highway?"

Taiyi summoned the Chaos Bell and calmly said, "Even with a new Great Dao, you will still die!"

The Chaos Bell shook heaven and earth, its sound startled the primordial world, and time and space twisted. An ancient and eternal power swept towards Houtu, as if heaven and earth were annihilating her.

Houtu unleashed her Ancestral Witch True Form, drawing her bow like a full moon. The power of the Earthly Cycle emanated continuously from her body, and an arrow shot out that swept across the sky like a black hole. Wherever it passed, all laws ceased to exist, the heavens fell silent, and the Great Dao was obliterated within the black hole.

The black hole swallowed the Chaos Bell whole, intending to obliterate and suppress it with the power of reincarnation.

Upon seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly and said, "Overestimating yourself!"

He then activated the Dharma Image behind him, and the power of the Emperor's Way transformed into a three-legged golden crow that rushed into the black hole, holding the Chaos Bell. The bell tolled melodiously, and in an instant, it tore through the power of reincarnation and went straight for Houtu.

At this moment, Houtu remained completely calm, her eyes showing not fear but rather a fighting spirit.

He put away his longbow, leaped up, and the earth power within his true form had now been completely transformed into the power of reincarnation.

He punched the Chaos Bell.

He then unleashed punch after punch, ignoring the pain and his injuries, as if he were possessed.

The Golden Crow's Dharma form shattered, and the Chaos Bell, finally unable to withstand the pressure, was blasted away.

Houtu, having gained the upper hand, charged straight up, unleashing a punch imbued with the power of reincarnation towards Donghuang Taiyi.

"Interesting. They actually want to use me to break through? Wishful thinking!"

Donghuang Taiyi also got up and joined the fray, and the two engaged in close combat in the sky.

Every punch landed squarely, a clash between pure physical strength and the power of the Great Dao.

One is Houtu, the ancestral witch who cultivated her physical body and evolved into the cycle of reincarnation.

One is a three-legged golden crow that cultivates the path of emperors and the path of power.

For a time, the two fought back and forth. Although Houtu was at a disadvantage, she fought with a completely reckless style, trading injuries for injuries.

"Brother Donghua, who do you think will win?"

Without hesitation, Donghua replied, "Taiyi!"

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and said, "You have so little faith in your little lover?"

"Although Houtu is only a hair's breadth away from the peak, that one hair's breadth is like heaven and earth. Moreover, Taiyi is very strange now, and I have a feeling that I can't quite put my finger on."

"Does Fellow Daoist Donghua also feel this way?" Hongyun looked at Donghua. He also felt that something was wrong with Taiyi, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it.

Donghua nodded. While everyone else's attention was focused on Taiyi's combat strength, he couldn't forget the moment Taiyi healed his injuries, when it seemed as if some kind of power flashed by.

Moreover, he was at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, so he naturally knew that Houtu's arrow had indeed injured Taiyi, and how could it be easily healed?

However, Donghuang Taiyi did it, and he didn't understand the methods he used, so there must be something strange about it.

……

Above the heavens, Houtu was struggling against Taiyi. Her true form was already covered in wounds, but she did not retreat. She continued to attack.

"Brother, my little sister will die if she keeps fighting like this. Should we intervene?"

Zhu Jiuyin couldn't stand it anymore. At Houtu's fighting style, even if she broke through, she would be ruined.

"Wait a minute, give my little sister another chance. If it still doesn't work, then we'll make our move."

Dijiang stared intently at the sky, his eyes filled with worry and hope. He truly hoped that Houtu could break through to the peak.

Because Donghua was putting too much pressure on him, the Wu Clan needed a quasi-saint peak expert, but he and Zhujiuyin's strength could not reach the peak for the time being, so they could only place their hopes on Houtu.

The battle in the sky continued, but the ancestral witches on the sidelines simply couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"Eldest brother, second brother, you two cover your little sister while we lead the Great Witches into the Heavenly Realm and slaughter these demons."

Dijiang nodded. Since the decision was made to annihilate the demon race, why bother with a one-on-one fight? Besides, the Heavenly Court was currently outnumbered and outmatched, making it the perfect time to strike decisively.

"Alright, you all go ahead, but be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, eight ancestral witches, including Qiangliang, Gonggong, Zhurong, and Jumang, rose into the sky, followed by great witches such as Xingtian, Xiangliu, and Jiufeng.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ze in the Heavenly Court waved his array flag and summoned the star map. Instantly, all 365 main stars returned to their positions, and the Ten Great Demon Saints led thousands of star gods in formation to await them.

The two sides quickly engaged in battle!

The fierce battles dimmed the stars in the heavens, and a massive amount of calamity energy began to rise from the primordial world. In an instant, the secrets of heaven were thrown into chaos, and another great calamity in the primordial world erupted completely.

The eight Ancestral Witches were all experts in the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, with unparalleled physical bodies. This time, with their joint attack and the cooperation of the Great Witches, even though the Heavenly Court had the advantage of heaven and earth and the support of the great formation, it was instantly put at a disadvantage.

This proves the saying that all the fancy stuff is useless in the face of absolute strength.

Bai Ze was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only desperately operate the star map, gather the power of the stars, and bless all the star gods.

Great Luo versus Great Luo, Quasi-Saint versus Quasi-Saint.

The only difference is that the Ten Demon Saints are far less powerful than the Ancestral Witches, and can only fight by relying on the power of the great formation.

Meanwhile, the battle between Donghuang Taiyi and Houtu continued, but this time Taiyi became even more ruthless.

With a swing of her fists, each strike was difficult for Houtu to withstand. Her powerful Ancestral Witch true body was covered in wounds, and some parts of her body were still burning with Golden Crow True Fire.

However, Houtu had no time to extinguish the fire and could only parry Taiyi's attacks.

Defeat and death are imminent!
