Chapter 46 Hongjun Stops the War
Chapter 46: Hongjun Ends the War
The Wu and Yao tribes engaged in a great battle outside the South Heavenly Gate. Seeing that their side was about to be at a disadvantage, the Twelve Ancestral Witches resolutely chose to set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation and summon the phantom of Pangu.
The moment the phantom of Pangu appeared, the wind and clouds changed color. With a swing of the phantom of the Heaven-Opening Axe, countless demons turned into ashes.
Di Jun looked at the Pangu phantom before him, which was capable of slaying saints, with a very solemn expression. He said to Taiyi, "Taiyi, quickly set up the Zhou Tian Star Array to deal with the Pangu phantom."
"Brother, are we really going to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array?" Taiyi asked. The Zhou Tian Star Array is the trump card of the demon race, and it should not be used unless absolutely necessary. If the saints of the heavens knew that the demon race had an array that could rival the saints, the demon race would probably not have an easy time in the future.
"That's right. If we don't stop the Pangu phantom today, the entire Thirty-Three Heavens will be destroyed by them. Enough talk, quickly set up the formation." Di Jun nodded and said.
"Alright!" Taiyi responded and quickly summoned 360 Great Luo Golden Immortals to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, using the Eastern Emperor Bell as the array's core.
As soon as the Zhou Tian Star Array was activated, the stars of the Zhou Tian constellation flashed wildly, and countless stellar powers poured into the Zhou Tian Star Array. A huge phantom of a demon god appeared, confronting the phantom of Pangu.
The Heavenly Saint outside the Lingxiao Palace was shocked to see the phantom of the demon god summoned by the demon race. He had thought that the Wu race's ability to summon the phantom of Pangu was already incredibly powerful, but he never expected that the demon race would also possess a formation capable of summoning the phantom of the demon god.
"Brother, the demon race has really hidden itself well," Yuanshi said to Taishang with an unnatural expression.
"Sigh..." Taishang sighed and said, "It is normal for the demon race to have some trump cards to contend with the witch race. However, we must pay more attention to the demon race in the future and never let our guard down."
Just as Di Jun and Tai Yi had guessed, the appearance of the Zhou Tian Star Array indeed aroused the apprehension of the Heavenly Dao Saints. The others were fine, but Nuwa was even more wary. In the past, because Nuwa was a Heavenly Dao Saint, she was a high and mighty existence in the entire demon race. Even Di Jun, the Demon Emperor, would not give her face if she did not want to. But now that the Zhou Tian Star Array was in place, Nuwa would have to think twice before she could point fingers at Di Jun in the future. In particular, no one knew whether the demon god phantom summoned by the Zhou Tian Star Array could slaughter a saint like the phantom of Pangu.
Outside the South Heavenly Gate, the phantoms of Pangu and the demon god clashed fiercely, causing the surrounding air currents to become turbulent. Countless members of the Wu and Yao tribes with low cultivation levels perished as a result, and the entire Thirty-Three Heavens shook violently due to the aftershocks of the battle between the two phantoms.
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky, separating the two illusory figures, and said, "Alright, have you had enough?"
"Greetings, Master (Dao Ancestor)!" Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone bowed and greeted him. Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Hongjun.
Originally, Hongjun did not intend to intervene, but seeing that the alliance of the two phantoms had caused instability in the Thirty-Three Heavens, which was related to the future layout of the Heavenly Dao, he could not afford any problems. Therefore, he had no choice but to step in to stop the war between the two races.
As soon as Hongjun arrived, the demon race immediately withdrew the Zhou Tian Star Array, but the phantom of Pangu of the witch race was still maintained.
At this moment, Tongtian, who had been watching the show, stopped hiding and came to the phantom of Pangu, saying, "Twelve Ancestral Witches, quickly withdraw the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation."
Upon hearing Tongtian's words, the Twelve Ancestral Witches withdrew from the great formation and stood behind Tongtian.
Tongtian greeted Hongjun, saying, "Greetings, Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"
Hongjun looked at Tongtian and said, "Tongtian, let's end today's battle here. What do you say?"
"Of course!" As soon as Hongjun appeared, Tongtian knew that his side had no chance of winning unless Xuanchu was here. However, Xuanchu was still in seclusion and there was no news of him. It was better to go along with Hongjun.
"Good!" Hongjun nodded. As long as the Wu Clan agreed, that was fine. As for the Demon Clan, their opinions were not important.
"Dao Ancestor, now that this matter is settled, Tongtian will lead the Wu Clan away so as not to disturb the Demon Clan's good time." With the matter resolved, Tongtian planned to lead the Wu Clan away, otherwise he feared that if they stayed too long, Hongjun might notice something amiss.
"Go then!" Hongjun didn't care. He just wanted to end all of this as soon as possible, so he let Tongtian and the others leave.
After Tongtian led the Wu Clan away, Dijun knelt before Hongjun and cried out, "Teacher, the Wu Clan has gone too far! Please, Teacher, do justice for the Demon Clan!"
"Alright, let's leave it at that. From now on, the demon race will guard the Thirty-Three Heavens. The Primordial World is not a place for me to linger." With that, Hongjun left.
Seeing that Hongjun didn't care about his and the demon race's feelings at all, Dijun felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
After Hongjun left, the Heavenly Dao Saints and a host of powerful beings from the Primordial World who had come to witness the ceremony also departed one after another.
Buzhou Mountain, Pangu Palace
As soon as Tongtian returned with the Wu Clan, he blamed Houtu, saying, "Houtu, didn't your uncle tell you not to cause trouble after he came out of seclusion? Why didn't you listen? You even attacked the Thirty-Third Heaven! Fortunately, Hongjun still doesn't know about your uncle's situation, otherwise we would probably all die in the Thirty-Third Heaven today."
Tongtian was still somewhat frightened by what happened today. He thought that at most he would only have to deal with some Heavenly Dao Saints, but he did not expect that he would even provoke Hongjun. Fortunately, Hongjun did not know that Xuanchu was in seclusion, otherwise he and the Twelve Ancestral Witches would probably not have been able to leave the Thirty-Three Heavens today.
"Brother Tongtian, this is not my fault. It was those three fools who didn't know their own mortality." Houtu felt wronged. It was clearly not her fault. So she glared at Zhurong, Gonggong, and Qiangliang. If these three hadn't disobeyed her, how could this battle have happened today?
"We didn't know it would turn out like this. Don't worry, Brother Tongtian, it won't happen again." Zhu Rong and the others said weakly, their heads bowed.
"There's going to be a next time? You should learn your lesson. If you do something stupid again, I'll chop you all down with the Hunyuan Sword before your uncle even gets back!" Houtu shouted.
"Sister Houtu, please calm down!" As the eldest brother, Dijiang couldn't bear to see Zhurong and the others being scolded so harshly by his sister, so he quickly stepped in to dissuade them, saying, "Actually, they were partly wrong today. If it weren't for them, how would we have known that the demon race had a great formation that could summon the phantom of a demon god?"
When the topic of the Zhou Tian Star Array came up, the Pangu Hall fell silent.
After a long silence, Tongtian asked, "What do you think of this great formation of the demon race compared to the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation?" Tongtian was not surprised that the demon race had trump cards; he just wanted to know how this Zhou Tian Star Formation compared to the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
Houtu thought for a moment and said, "The fact that the demon race's great formation can summon the phantom of the demon god is indeed extraordinary, but it is still somewhat inferior to the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. The phantom of the father god summoned by the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation will become stronger and stronger as the strength of us twelve ancestral witches increases. Right now, we are only at the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Once we all advance to the middle stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, defeating the demon race's great formation will not be a problem."
"Hmm!" Tongtian agreed with this point. He had witnessed the difference between the battle between the Pangu phantom at Buzhou Mountain and the battle in the East Sea, and it was not a small difference.
"In that case, you should focus on your cultivation. As for the demon race, avoid conflict with them unless absolutely necessary. We'll discuss everything when your uncle returns," Tongtian said.
"Don't worry, Brother Tongtian, we understand," Houtu nodded and said.
"Alright, this matter is settled. I won't stay here any longer. If you need anything in the future, just send someone to Jin'ao Island to find me. I'm leaving now." Now that things are over, Tongtian should return to Jin'ao Island. After all, the Jie Sect has grown larger now, and there are many things waiting for Tongtian to handle every day.
"Alright, Brother Tongtian, take care!"
