Chapter 649

"Return it to you."

The corner of Gu Yuan's mouth hooked into a cold arc.

The hand gripping the giant axe clenched fiercely, then twisted!

"Bang!"

That Pangu Giant Axe, condensed from ten types of laws, was actually reversed by time, transforming into the purest law torrent, surging back in reverse!

"Pfft——!"

The wills of the Ten Great Ancestral Witches simultaneously suffered a destructive backlash.

That Pangu phantom towering billions of zhang could no longer be maintained; it collapsed with a rumble, reverting into the ten true bodies of the Ancestral Witches, each with withered auras and all bearing injuries.

They staggered back, staring in disbelief at that white-clad figure still standing before the carriage and palanquin — though swaying on the verge of collapse, his form turning illusory, he still had not fallen.

In the minds of all the Ancestral Witches, only a blank remained.

They lost?

At the cost of Di Jiang's death, with the Ten Great Ancestral Witches joining forces to set up a sure-kill situation, they actually... lost?

Lost to a sickly weakling?

A Golden Immortal?

At this moment, the Pangu bloodline they took pride in, the supreme flesh body with which they dominated the Great Wasteland, seemed to have become a colossal joke.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Before the carriage and palanquin, Gu Yuan suddenly bent at the waist, coughing violently.

With each cough, another fine crack appeared on his crystalline, transparent immortal body, seemingly cast from glazed divine jade.

From the cracks flowed no blood, only strands of Chaos Qi and time fragments currently annihilating.

His inner world, in that forced borrowing of power beyond limits and law collision just now, had already reached the brink of collapse.

The World Tree's projection swayed wildly, dropping billions of strands of life origin, barely maintaining the immortal body from collapsing on the spot.

He blocked it, but the cost was heavy.

"He... he can't hold on much longer!"

"Kill him! Avenge Older Brother!"

The deathly silence lasted only an instant before being replaced by even more frenzied ferocity.

Zhu Rong's crimson eyes were once again filled with blood vessels; ignoring the intense pain in the depths of his soul, he let out a mad roar, transforming into a black-red flame meteor, charging at Gu Yuan once more!

Today, either you die or I perish.

Letting such a monster live would be an endless nightmare for the Wu Clan.

The remaining Ancestral Witches, hearing this, also snapped out of their shock one after another.

Right, he must be heavily injured too!

He cannot possibly take a second strike!

Kill!

Must kill him!

However, just as they prepared to go all out, burning their last origins to attack again.

"Roar——!"

A tragic dragon chant resounded through heaven and earth.

Only to see Yao Sage Ji Meng manifest a dragon body ten thousand zhang long, bathed in blood, scales flying, yet rushing forward without hesitation, using his own dragon body to firmly block before Gu Yuan.

"Want to move His Highness! Step over my corpse first!"

Ji Meng's eyes were blood-red; he had already been scared out of his wits, but it was precisely because of fear that unprecedented courage was born.

Great Emperor Taiyi, to protect them, took the Ancestral Witches' sure-kill strike head-on.

Then they, as Yao Sages of the Yao Clan, subjects of the Heavenly Emperor, how could they watch His Highness fall!

"Protect His Highness!"

"Form the array!"

Ying Zhao, Shangyang, Gui Che...

The remaining seven Yao Sages, at this moment, made the same choice.

Dragging their heavily injured bodies, forcibly burning their own Great Luo Dao Fruits, gathering all their magic power and origin together, they formed a damaged yet incomparably resilient Seven Star Battle Formation, tightly protecting Gu Yuan in the center.

They knew, with their current state, they fundamentally could not block the Ancestral Witches' attack.

Doing this was no different from striking a stone with an egg, moths flying into fire.

But they, without regret or resentment.

Youming Di Fu.

Di Jun watched in the water mirror as those Yao Sages recklessly went to their deaths to protect his younger brother, watched his younger brother's face growing increasingly pale, almost transparent.

He abruptly raised his head, gaze deadlocked on Naihe Bridge, on those remnants of space laws slowly dissipating due to Di Jiang's death.

"River Chart! Luo Book!"

Di Jun roared, pouring all his magic power and divine sense without reservation into these two Innate Supreme Treasures.

Buzz——!

A vast star map covering the entire Youming Di Fu unfolded with a rumble.

Di Jun did not go to forcibly tear apart the space seal left by Di Jiang.

He was calculating.

With the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor, with the supreme computing power of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, he crazily deduced every law node of that space seal, the trajectory of every wisp of energy flow.

"Found it!"

A mere breath later, terrifying radiance erupted in Di Jun's eyes.

He found it!

Di Jiang's blockade used his own spatial Primordial Origin as its core, linking the spatial laws of the entire Youming Di Fu to form a seemingly flawless perfect closed loop.

But this closed loop had a fatal weakness.

That was the newly born "Earthly Dao"!

To make the blockade more stable, Di Jiang borrowed a thread of Pingxin Niangniang's Earthly Dao power.

And this became his greatest flaw!

"By Zhen Tian Ming, Imperial Decree Issuance!"

Di Jun fiercely pointed a finger; atop his fingertip, a strand of Purple-Gold Mandate representing the supreme authority of the Yao Clan Heavenly Court stabbed viciously into a certain node on the Star Chart!

The next instant, deep within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Pingxin Niangniang's cold will paused slightly.

But she did not stop it.

Because Taiyi must die.

Even if a Saint came, it would be useless.

If Taiyi dies, the Wu Clan... can live.

Boom—!

The spatial blockade of the entire Youming Di Fu, at this moment, like a precisely detonated dam, boom— tore open a gap!

Di Jun's figure, without the slightest pause, instantly transformed into a streak of golden light, plunged into it, and vanished.

Honghuang Dongbu!

A violent Law Torrent instantly completely submerged this heaven and earth.

The Yao Saints' Suicidal Charge, facing three enraged Ancestral Witches, appeared that fragile.

Gui Che's Blood-Colored Barrier merely held for half a breath before being shattered by a single punch from Zhu Rong; his remaining head was also burned to flying ash by Southern Mingli Fire.

Yao Saint, Gui Che, perished!

Ji Meng's Dragon Body was melted alive on half its side by Gonggong's Weak Water, letting out an unwilling dragon roar, falling from mid-air.

This was a slaughter without any suspense.

But, it was just these few short breaths of delay.

Sufficient Time.

Right at the moment the Ancestral Witches were about to strike.

"Boom—!!!"

The Heavenly Dome of the entire Honghuang Dongbu abruptly darkened.

A supreme pressure more terrifying, more Hegemonic Way, more unreasonable than when Pangu's phantom descended previously, descended without any warning.

Under this pressure, whether it was the Ancestral Witches' laws or the Yao Saints' demonic qi, all were like encountering a Celestial Phenomenon, suppressed dead tight.

Space-time at this moment seemed to be completely clenched by an invisible giant hand.

The ten Ancestral Witches' faces changed drastically.

They looked up in horror, only to see above the Nine Heavens, a vast boundless Star Chart slowly unfolding.

Within the Star Chart, Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Main Stars, Countless Secondary Stars, were revolving madly according to a profound unfathomable trajectory.

Boundless star power converged into a pillar of light piercing heaven and earth, tearing apart the barriers between Youming and the mortal world, descending with a boom!

Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array!

It was the Heavenly Court's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, descending in an unprecedented completely unreserved posture!

The next instant, a figure, treading the Star Road, slowly walked out from within the pillar of light.

He wore the Nine Dragon Imperial Robe, wore the Heaven-Leveling Crown, Face Like Still Water; those eyes that should have been majestic and Hegemonic Way were now completely filled with boundless Angry Killing Intent, and threads of Fear and Heartache impossible to conceal.

It was precisely the one who, from the Youming Di Fu, forced open the spatial blockade Di Jiang laid down before death, rushed back... the Yao Clan Heavenly Emperor, Di Jun!

"Taiyi!"

Di Jun's gaze fell first upon that swaying-on-the-verge-of-collapse white-clad figure.

When he saw Gu Yuan's almost completely disintegrated body, and the scattered Donghuang Bell, an indescribable acute pain and regret instantly Chong Po all his reason.

"Wu... Clan!"
