If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 141 The Dao Ancestor decreed: Demons rule the heavens, witches rule the earth.

The Chaos Bell was knocked away with a single blow, but the power of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe's shadow was also almost exhausted, and it could no longer cause effective damage.

"Second brother!"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, exclaimed in surprise. In the center of the battle, Taiyi's figure was no longer there; only wisps of blood mist remained.

Everyone looked over, their eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield.

Many eyes were also fixed on the Chaos Bell, clearly eyeing it.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, rushed forward without regard for anything else. At that moment, a call suddenly came from within the Chaos Bell.

"Big brother!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor Jun was overjoyed.

Taiichi didn't die!

It turns out that at the last moment, Donghuang Taiyi's physical body was shattered by the Heaven-Opening Axe. He used all his strength to hide inside the Chaos Bell, which is how he narrowly escaped death.

At this moment, half of Taiyi's body disappeared, leaving only his head connected to a small part of his upper body.

His appearance was extremely miserable, which made Di Jun's expression turn ugly again.

That attack just now was extremely dangerous!

If Taiyi hadn't hidden inside the Chaos Bell, he probably wouldn't have escaped death.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were too exhausted to launch another attack. They had been using their formations continuously and were severely depleted. They needed a short rest to recover their strength.

The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is incredibly powerful, but its drawbacks are equally obvious.

Once the Ancestral Witches have exhausted their strength and failed to completely eliminate their opponents, they will likely be powerless to fight back.

The fact that they failed to kill Donghuang Taiyi this time clearly shocked the Ancestral Witches.

Their strength is almost depleted and cannot be further depleted.

Donghuang Taiyi hurriedly took some medicine to heal his injuries, hoping to recover quickly.

"It actually blocked it!"

Hidden in the shadows, many cultivators exclaimed in surprise, all turning their gazes toward the Chaos Bell.

Many cultivators believe that the reason why Donghuang Taiyi was able to survive this time was precisely because of this innate treasure!

Without a supreme innate treasure, who could withstand a single blow from the figure of Pangu?

Even a weak strike is enough to destroy the world.

"This attack first cleaved through the Zhou Tian Star Array, then destroyed Taiyi, and was ultimately neutralized by the Chaos Bell. The Wu Clan's array is indeed too powerful."

Taiqing frowned slightly. He could tell that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were not in good condition. If they had unleashed this attack at their peak, even Donghuang Taiyi would have been doomed.

Ao Bai was pleased to see this situation. The Ancestral Witches had exhausted themselves and were seriously injured, so they had no choice but to stop now.

"Now that the demon race has taken over the Heavenly Court, they will have room to maneuver in the future."

Ao Bai secretly pondered that once the Witch and Demon races reached a state of equal strength, the pressure on the Yuanzhou Immortal Island lineage would be reduced, and they could develop peacefully.

As expected, the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not attack again. They stood still and rested, seemingly discussing something in secret.

"Let's retreat for now!"

Dijiang, the ancestral witch, discussed with the other ancestral witches.

"Brother, if we retreat now, I'm afraid the Heavenly Court will completely fall under the control of the demon race, making it even more difficult to take it over in the future."

Zhu Rong, the ancestral witch, said with concern, "He may seem carefree on the surface, but he is actually very meticulous and has considered many things."

"If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to take down the Heavenly Court. The demon race is already vulnerable, but if they attack again, our great formation will immediately collapse. At that time, those Xuanmen cultivators around us probably won't help us."

Dijiang Zuwu said that the demon race indeed no longer has the strength to fight.

Even though the Ancestral Witches are extremely weak, they can still deliver a final blow, which is enough to force the Four Demon Emperors to withdraw from the battlefield. At that time, the remaining Great Witches will be able to wipe out the demon race.

Unfortunately, with countless powerful figures secretly watching, they would not allow the Witch Clan to succeed so easily.

It's even possible that they will take action against the Witch Clan at this time.

It should be noted that over the years, the Witch Clan has been the dominant force, and there are more than just one or two creatures secretly plotting against them.

The words of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang left everyone speechless. The situation was just as the Ancestral Witch Dijiang had said, and they had no choice but to consider it from all angles.

"Even if we hand over the Heavenly Court to the demon race, they will still be no match for us. This place is just another sun star."

"This is what Emperor Jiang Zuwu said."

Seeing that no one objected, he loudly addressed the entire witch clan:

"My lords, let's go!"

Dijiang Zuwu never makes threats; he is always swift and decisive in his actions, seizing every opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, and he never wastes words.

Faced with the retreating Wu Clan, everyone guessed that they had suffered heavy losses, but no one dared to take a step forward.

The same goes for the four demon emperors. They were already lucky to have withstood the attack of the witch clan. They had no intention of hunting down the witch clan now.

"Once we take over the Heavenly Court, we can establish ourselves here and cultivate rapidly. Defeating the Witch Clan will only be a matter of time!"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, boosted morale. This time, they successfully repelled the attack of the Witch Clan. Although they suffered heavy casualties, it still greatly inspired the Demon Clan.

They not only withstood the attack of the Witch Clan, but also captured the Heavenly Court, which can be described as a great victory!

The members of the Witch Clan retreated one after another, but none of the powerful figures in the sky stepped forward.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, returned to the Heavenly Court with his army. They suffered considerable losses this time, especially the deaths of countless Yao Bings, which caused the overall strength of the demon race to decline once again.

"Fellow Daoists, thank you all for coming today. Now that the Heavenly Court has been newly established, we cordially invite you all to join us for a meal."

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, is very good at winning people's hearts. Although the Demon Clan seems to have suffered a great loss, they have actually become qualified to contend with the Witch Clan.

As long as they hold fast to the Heavenly Court, and their strength grows again in the future, they will be able to steadily withstand the attack of the Witch Clan.

Then, by winning over the powerful figures from all sides, we can completely achieve parity with the Witch Clan.

The reason why the Wu Clan dared not attack this time was obviously because they were wary of the Xuanmen cultivators around them, a fact that Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was very clear about.

Many cultivators longed to join the invitation from the Demon Emperor Jun.

The Heavenly Court, perched high above the nine heavens, is rich in spiritual energy and is an excellent place for cultivation, which makes many cultivators want to enter it to cultivate.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, seized upon this very point in his invitation.

Furthermore, given the current strength displayed by the demon race, and with the addition of some powerful individuals, they have no problem resisting the witch race, and it's not impossible for them to unify the prehistoric world in the future.

Under these circumstances, many beings considered joining the demon race.

The merit of following the emperor is extremely tempting.

Once the demon race unifies the prehistoric world, they can sit back and enjoy the fruits of that unification.

"Father, let's go back."

Ao Bai discussed with the old Dragon King that the demon race no longer needed their help, and the Demon Emperor Jun was also intentionally distancing himself from the dragon race.

After all, the Dragon Clan was one of the three overlords back then. They had many enemies, and being entangled with the Dragon Clan would not benefit the Demon Clan in uniting other races.

Seeing that many cultivators were entering the Heavenly Court, Ao Bai and his companion quietly retreated and returned to the South China Sea.

"This great battle should bring me some rewards, even though I didn't directly participate in the fighting."

Ao Bai had a faint sense of anticipation, for this was a turning point in the Lich Wars, and could also be seen as the beginning of the formal contest.

Previously, the demon race avoided conflict with the witch race at all costs. Now, the situation has changed drastically, which will affect the overall situation of the prehistoric world.

However, the prehistoric world will be even more severely damaged in the future, which is definitely not good news for Ao Bai.

Back on Yuanzhou Immortal Island, Ao Bai waited patiently for the reward to arrive.

At this moment, in the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor Jun was discussing the future with many cultivators.

Donghuang Taiyi went to cultivate and recuperate, while Nuwa, Xihuang, and Dijun hosted a banquet for the guests.

"Fellow Daoists, our demon race now occupies the Heavenly Court, a destiny ordained by Heaven. The witch race has suffered a crushing defeat; they will find it difficult to shake our demon race in the slightest. If you are willing to join forces with our demon race to resist the witch race, we promise that when we unify the primordial world, we will all share in its glory!"

Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan began to boast that they did indeed have some resources now, but that was only enough to contend with the Witch Clan.

Once they leave the Heavenly Court, they are no match for the Witch Clan, let alone be able to wipe them out.

For this reason, the cultivators were still somewhat hesitant, since the advantages of the demon race were not as great as they had imagined.

"Your Majesty is right. As long as we have the help of our fellow Daoists, combine our strength, and with the blessing of Heaven, defeating the Witch Clan and avenging ourselves will be no problem at all!"

Nuwa said that many of the cultivators in the prehistoric world had some grudges against the Wu clan. Her words resonated with many people.

The Wu tribe's large-scale expansion and acquisition of various resources inevitably offended some people.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to join the demon race and fight against the witch race!"

"I am willing, Your Majesty, please take me in."

One by one, the cultivators responded, determined to join the demon race.

The scene was quite lively, and the Demon Emperor Jun laughed heartily.

The demon race suffered heavy losses of demon soldiers this time, and it is time to replenish their strength.

With the addition of these powerful individuals, the strength of the demon race has increased rather than decreased.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Court provides tremendous assistance to their cultivation, ensuring the future prosperity of the demon race.

The power of the lich is slowly taking shape.

However, the power of the demon race has also aroused the vigilance of some cultivators.

For example, the Three Pure Ones, the Eastern King Duke, Kunpeng, and the Ziwei Emperor.

They were all secretly on guard against the demon race and began to plan their own affairs.

In particular, the Ziwei Emperor was very wary of the Demon Emperor Jun's growth.

"The demon race has taken over the Heavenly Court! Where will that leave me?!"

The Purple Star Emperor said resentfully, as she was the supreme ruler of the Nine Heavens, and in her opinion, the Heavenly Court should have been hers to occupy.

The Ziwei Emperor rules over the Nine Heavens and is the orthodox Star God. His command of the stars is ordained by Heaven.

The demon emperor, Di Jun, was also one of the Sun Star Gods, and nominally he still had to obey the orders of the Ziwei Emperor. Unfortunately, Di Jun did not respect the Ziwei Emperor and could not get along with her at all.

Now that the demon race is growing stronger, and after the Heavenly Court was born, it was directly occupied by the demon race, which made the Ziwei Emperor increasingly dissatisfied, and the hatred in her heart became even stronger.

"Sister, although the demon race occupies the Heavenly Court, they don't have any conflict with us. Why don't we hold back for now, let them fight to the death with the witch race, and then we can reap the benefits?"

Fairy Wangshu said that the demon race is currently at its peak of strength. Even if Emperor Ziwei is willing to attack, he probably will not be able to defeat the demon race and may even be killed by them.

The strength of the demon race has now far surpassed that of the Star God lineage.

The Ziwei Emperor was filled with resentment, but she also knew that she couldn't act rashly now. The demon race was at its peak, and she couldn't possibly contend with them at her current level.

"If that's the case, why not unite with the Witch Clan to deal with the Demon Clan together? We don't need to unify the prehistoric world, just occupy the Heavenly Court. The Witch Clan should be very happy to cooperate with us."

The Purple Star Emperor had no intention of unifying the prehistoric world, but she was also unwilling to be subordinate to anyone. She only wanted to live in peace in one place and be the ruler of her own stars.

The fairy Xihe remained silent; no one knew what she was thinking.

The three sisters were discussing something when suddenly a beam of auspicious light descended from the heavens.

A boy and a girl emerged from the Zixiao Palace, and together they descended upon the primordial world.

These are messengers of Hongjun Daozu, who were dispatched to the prehistoric world.

"It's the Dao Ancestor!"

When Ao Bai saw the boy and girl, he immediately guessed their purpose.

At this moment, countless powerful individuals were drawn to the scene, and the Lich and Demon races were no exception.

Everyone could tell that it was Hongjun Daozu who had a new decree, but no one knew what his instructions were.

Haotian Boy faced the primordial world and proclaimed:

"The Dao Ancestor has decreed that demons shall rule the heavens and witches the earth, thus dividing the primordial wilderness!"

The fact that Haotian Tongzi represents the meaning of Hongjun Daozu has caused many cultivators to remain silent.

Even if they had opinions in their hearts, they dared not say anything.

On the contrary, the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan were furious.

"Damn it! This Hongjun Daozu is a scoundrel! Our Wu Clan unified the primordial world and long ago proclaimed to Heaven and Earth that we would rule in place of the Father God. Now that he's issuing this decree, isn't he just trying to go against us?"

The ancestral witches roared in anger, but none of them could resist.

Hongjun Daozu's strength was boundless and overwhelming; even the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation" could not defeat him.

"Don't panic, everyone. Hongjun Daozu's meaning is not that we shouldn't attack the demon race. As long as we have enough strength, we can destroy them."

"This is what Emperor Jiang Zuwu said."

The Witch Clan is still somewhat lacking in strength. Once they are confident in destroying the Heavenly Court in one fell swoop, defeating the Demon Clan will not be a problem.

As for demons ruling the heavens and witches ruling the earth, when the demon race is gone, naturally no one will govern the Heavenly Court anymore.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, there were not many living beings in the Nine Heavens, and the number of living beings in the starry sky was far less than that of the myriad races on the earth.

After Haotian Tongzi issued the decree, he looked at this prosperous prehistoric world and felt a longing in his heart.

"Senior brother, let's go back."

Yaochi Tongnu said softly. She didn't care about anything in the prehistoric world. As long as she could follow her master and senior brother, she would be satisfied.

The departure of the two children caused a great uproar in the primordial world.

This time, it's clear that Dao Ancestor Hongjun is still on the side of the demon race.

This made countless beings understand the Dao Ancestor's meaning, and they became even more certain of their choice.

Meanwhile, Ao Bai also received his golden finger reward on Yuanzhou Immortal Island!
