Chapter Thirty-Three
The arrow was shot by Hou Yi, the patriarch of the Hou Yi clan who had been hiding here for a long time. The target was one of the Golden Crow princes. The tenth prince tried to block the arrow with all his might, using the power of his merit and virtue to transform into a cloud of merit and virtue, but for some reason, the cloud, which was said to be immune to all things, had no effect on the flying arrow. The arrow pierced through the cloud and shot into the body of the second prince, and the Golden Crow Second Prince let out a mournful cry before falling to the ground. At this moment, Kuafu Dazhen also fell to the ground exhausted, using his last breath to see the fall of the Golden Crow Second Prince before dying with a smile, transforming into a great mountain range on the earth.
The remaining nine Golden Crow princes also let out a loud, mournful cry. The eldest prince gathered countless golden flames and charged at Hou Yi to fight to the death in order to avenge his second brother. Hou Yi shot another arrow that was about to hit the eldest prince when the tenth prince suddenly pushed the eldest prince aside and took the arrow himself, using his accumulated merits to forcefully withstand it. Fortunately, after the merits entered his body, they could temporarily transform into a treasure that protected him from harm. The arrow did not pierce through the tenth prince's feathers but instead consumed some of his merits. Hou Yi shot arrows in quick succession, and in an instant, the fifth, seventh, and eighth princes were hit by arrows one after another. The fifth and seventh princes fell directly to the ground, while the eighth prince used his last bit of energy to charge into the Hou Yi tribe and self-destruct, leaving only Hou Yi, a great shaman, behind.
The Golden Crow's tenth son loudly shouted for his brothers to retreat - this was a losing move, and several of the Golden Crow's sons were shot down by Hou Yi while they were retreating. At that moment, a long, angry cry echoed through the air as Taiyi arrived. Taiyi saw that only three of his ten sons remained, and in his grief and anger, he struck out with all his might using the Donghuang Bell. Just then, Hou Yi was taking aim at the sixth son to shoot him with an arrow, but when the bell's sound rang out, the arrow flying through the air turned into a puff of ash, and Hou Yi and the mountain peaks several thousand miles in front of him also disappeared into nothingness, leaving behind only his bow and ten arrows on the ground. Taiyi swept up his three sons with his sleeve and departed.
At that time, when the tenth prince was chasing and killing the Kua Fu clan, Taiyi and the heavenly court were fighting a great battle against the invading Wu tribe. The Wu tribe's coalition forces were led by several powerful witches, who had come to attack the Youzhu Tian Ting. Taiyi and the other demon gods fought valiantly, and the entire demonic army was able to easily defeat the Wu tribe's coalition forces, suffering minimal casualties. Just then, Taiyi suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and upon calculation, he realized that his ten sons were in trouble. It turned out that this was exactly when the second prince had fallen. As father and son were connected at heart, Taiyi immediately knew what had happened. Without saying anything to his subordinates, he transformed into a beam of light and left, just in time to save his last three sons.
Taiyi returned to Buzhou Mountain, where the crowd of demons had already killed the Wu tribe's allied army. Seeing Taiyi return, they asked with tears in their eyes. Upon hearing that several princes were in trouble, everyone's anger soared, and they demanded to kill the ancestors of the Wu tribe and exterminate them completely! At this time, the entire demon clan was united as one, ready to launch a great war. Taiyi was also extremely sad and did not dare to tell Xihe Niangniang the news, but instead ordered the demons to pass down the order and gather their forces for battle.
Bo Yu was also visiting Tongtian Sect Master on Golden Turtle Island in the Eastern Sea, and took the opportunity to interact with Tongtian's disciples, especially Zhao Gongming and Duo Bao. They spent their days exchanging insights on cultivation and practicing martial arts. San Xiao Niangniang followed her brother to listen in, while the youngest, Qiong Xiao, often played and fought with Bo Yu, completely unafraid of this notorious "Evil Bird" Bo Yu who was feared throughout the vast wilderness.
At this moment, Taiyi passed down the military order, and Donghai Qinglong's patriarch personally visited Jin'ao Island to convey the message. When Bohou heard Taiyi's military order, he thought to himself: "What's going on? Is it happening now? Or should I go take a look at Bu Zhou Shan quickly."
Bo Fu arrived at the Tian Ting of Buzhou Mountain, where he saw that all the demon generals outside the palace were furious. He entered the main hall and saw Tai Yi, who looked haggard but had an increasingly fierce aura about him. Kun Peng and other demon gods also had angry faces. Bo Fu walked into the main hall and paid his respects to the demons, among whom Fu Xi told him that several princes had been killed by the Wu tribe. Bo Fu then confirmed what he had suspected in his heart. He saw that three princes behind Tai Yi all looked sad and were injured. Soon after, Xi and Niang Niang also rushed into the hall, crying loudly. Tai Yi didn't say a word, but handed the three princes over to Niang Niang and left the hall directly. The demons followed him out, with Bo Fu also following. He saw Tai Yi fly straight up into the sky, leading the way towards the Zu Wu Temple, and suddenly the square was filled with millions of demons flying up, covering the sky above Buzhou Mountain with countless demon clouds.
The demon army rushed to the Ancestral Witch Temple while integrating their forces. By the time they arrived near the temple, their formation was already in order, and all that was left was to engage in battle. Without further orders, the various heavenly demons took their positions, with Taiyi still residing in the Purple Palace. Kunpeng and Fuxi simultaneously offered up their spiritual treasures, and the 365 demon gods returned to their posts. The million-strong demon army was under the command of the 84,000 evil stars, while Bofu resided in the Broken Army Star position, commanding 3,000 great demons arrayed in a scattered star formation as a mobile force. His duties were those of a rescue team and hunting party.
In the Ancestral Witch Temple, the Eleventh Ancestor Witch had already gathered all the witches to form a large army. Within the temple's range, the power of the witches was blessed and far stronger than usual. To set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods' Great Formation, they combined the true body of Pangu, and the eleven ancestor witches each contributed a drop of their essence blood to complement the heavenly number with another great witch from the Hou Tu tribe. Even so, the true body of Pangu could only be arranged within the range of the Ancestral Witch Temple; if it were outside the range, the great witch would immediately lose control and self-destruct due to the overwhelming power within her body.
At this moment, both sides are silent as a cicada, the Wu tribe has already rolled the dice, and from now on it's up to fate. So the eleventh ancestor Wu let out a shout, instantly forming a large array, revealing the true body of Pangu. The demon tribe also launched the All-Heavenly Star-Destroying Array with all its might, killing its way over.
The two armies clashed, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. On one side, the demon tribe released a barrage of magical artifacts, their light overwhelming the sky. The witch tribe retaliated by wielding divine weapons, unleashing their full power to resist the artifacts and counterattack. Pangu's true form collided with the Starry Sky Array, and his fist struck the array with tremendous force, sending shockwaves everywhere that reduced both demons and witches to ashes. The demon tribe's Starry Sky Array wavered, then burst forth with countless starlights that struck Pangu, who resisted with his true form, unleashing another wave of destruction that killed countless beings.
Taiyi spat a mouthful of blood onto the Eastern Emperor's Bell, and then struck the bell with all his might. The sound of the bell was loud and clear, shaking the entire space. As the sound waves spread out, the witches were all transformed into bloody flesh, and time and space seemed to pause for a moment. Pangu's true body was also shaken by the bell's sound, revealing a faint shadow, and his movements paused for a moment. The Starlight Array took advantage of the opportunity to emit countless starlights that converged into a massive pillar of light, which directly blasted Pangu.
Under one blow, Pangu's true body was on the verge of collapse. It was really because Hou Tu was no longer there that Pangu's true body could not be compared to its previous power. In his true body, Zu Wu's first emperor, Jiang, gritted his teeth and ordered other Zu Wu to self-destruct Pangu's true body. This self-destruction was truly colorless and soundless. When it exploded, space and time lost their meaning. There was no light or sound, only a void... In an instant, countless lights and heat were born from the void, and the vast land of Honghuang violently shook and split apart. Bo Fu also gathered all his demonic powers to resist in the formation, and exclaimed in his heart: "This is simply the concrete manifestation of the Big Bang theory..." He only lasted for a moment, and the Star Dou Great Array was unable to support itself, and the array also exploded simultaneously... The vast land of Honghuang was completely shattered. Only a few auspicious lights rose up on the ground, each protecting a corner of the sky.
Hundreds of millions of demons, only a few thousand remain; the witch tribe is no exception, with only a handful left. Even among the starry array's gods and demons, many have fallen. The eleven ancestral witches still exist, with Emperor Jiang, Zhu Rong, and Gonggong surrounding Taiyi, while Shebi Xi, Jumang, and Zongshou besiege Kunpeng. Tianwu, Qiangliang, and Chilong are fighting alongside Bofu, while the remaining Xuanming and Feizhi are battling other demons.
Baifu transformed two peacock feathers into a knife and a sword, the knife was heavy and the sword was also a broad and heavy greatsword. He fought fiercely with the three ancestral witches, his thousands of years of battle experience and exquisite martial arts skills, combined with his possession of the five-colored divine light that flashed everywhere, although he couldn't capture the ancestral witches in the light, the five-colored divine light played a strangling function, barely suppressing the three ancestral witches.
On the other side, Taiyi borrowed the power of Donghuang Zhong and the majesty of the true fire of the sun to suppress the three ancestral witches, and was about to win. However, Kunpeng could only fight evenly with the three ancestral witches and could not gain the upper hand for the time being. The two sides, Xuanming and Feizhi, who were fighting in mid-air, used their own ice and snow and thunder and lightning powers to firmly block the attacks of other demon gods, temporarily gaining time for the other nine ancestral witches. At this moment, other great witches also rushed up, and due to being transformed from Pangu's essence blood, the witch tribe suffered less damage in this explosion, and many great witches survived. The surviving great witches, including Xingtian, Yinglong, Fengbo, Yushi, and Xiangliu, all rushed over.
But this way, the Wu tribe will eventually perish. Hui Zi suddenly turned around and rushed towards Tai Yi. As soon as he got close to Tai Yi, he self-destructed. The Eastern Emperor's Bell that protected Tai Yi's body was on the verge of collapse, and Tai Yi himself was also injured. His movements slowed down for a moment, and Zhu Rong took advantage of the opportunity to self-destruct as well! Tai Yi was seriously injured, and the other demon gods were shocked. Unfortunately, they were blocked by the desperate efforts of the Wu tribe's witches, and Lei Shen Da Wu even self-destructed, killing many demon gods. At this time, a soft and gentle voice sounded: "You shall not harm His Majesty, I'm here!!"
The sound fell, and a green figure flashed over. It was the Green Eunuch. The Green Eunuch's cultivation was based on the Qing Jian Mi Lu, which allowed him to move in and out of a small space with lightning speed, making it the number one close-range combat technique in the world. Unfortunately, only eunuchs could cultivate this technique...
That figure was faster than a ghost, instantly appearing in front of Taiyi and taking the blow from Gonggong, spitting out blood as he flew back. At this moment, Emperor Jiang had already launched a fatal attack, and it seemed that Taiyi's life was about to be taken. But just as all hope seemed lost, the blue figure who had flown back suddenly reappeared, blocking Emperor Jiang's killing blow for Taiyi. However, his own strength was exhausted: "Your Majesty, take care... this old slave will leave first..." The Blue Eunuch fell!
