Chapter 599: The girl perishes, humanity grieves!

Houtu was restrained by reincarnation, and Hongjun became the last straw that tipped the balance.

When the most important chip could not be tended to, the girl's fate seemed already sealed.

This also happened all too suddenly.

Who could have imagined that someone would be so bold as to launch such a fierce assassination at the critical juncture of the human-dragon negotiations?

Or they came prepared, with supreme divine powers, blocking the rescue steps, and then ganging up on the girl.

In such a situation, no matter how strong the girl was, two fists could not stand against six, seven, or eight hands, and she could not escape calamity.

"Nothing must happen to the girl!"

Far away at the edge of the sky, the Wu Clan's Ancestor Witches roared, and Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu tore open the heavens: "This title of Nüwa's little sister must not be lost!"

"Otherwise, humanity will face great trouble!"

"But we can't get through; we need time!"

The cosmic light flowed; the Time Ancestor Witch, Zhu Jiuyin, he moved the ages, transforming them into eternal Dao power, yet condensed it into an instant, to open a smooth path and charge into that realm of the melee.

Unfortunately.

In the end, it was just a little short.

Just that little bit…… neither more nor less that bit.

This made Zhu Jiuyin doubt the very birth of the gods…… how could it be so perfectly timed?

"Attack the enemy, must rescue!"

At the critical moment, it was still Di Jiang who could make the decision.

"The vast Honghuang is also small…… Taiyi is just that few people."

"Those opposed to my Wu Clan have an even smaller scope."

"The suspicion on the Demon Race cannot escape!"

Di Jiang raised his hand and unleashed the "Buckle Hat" divine skill; without evidence it didn't matter—directly it was the Demon Court's doing, leading the masses to encircle and slaughter the girl!

"If we can't save the girl, then follow me to slaughter the Heavenly Court!"

"Force them to retreat!"

"What if they don't retreat?" Zhurong Ancestor Witch said in a muffled voice.

"Then we'll sweep clean the starry sky, taking it as vengeance for the girl…… take her life in exchange for the Heavenly Court's headquarters—I think that's acceptable!"

Di Jiang Ancestor Witch's expression was cold, iron-blooded and ruthless.

"Good! Let's do that!" Leize Ancestor Witch nodded in agreement, took the lead, transforming into a towering catastrophe light that pierced the vast Honghuang.

"Kill!"

Since someone had taken the lead, the remaining Ancestor Witches were extremely decisive, straight charging toward the Heavenly Court.

The girl's life or death?

Leave it to fate.

If it truly was a "good deed" organized by the Demon Race side, then their move of "encircling the demons to save Nüwa" counts as having done their utmost!

"Boom!"

Several streams of divine light shone brilliantly, illuminating eternity.

They crashed into the sea of stars, burning out the starry sky.

The attacks of the supreme beings are terrifying; unchecked and unopposed, they can truly annihilate myriad spirits and bury an entire era's epoch!

However, where there is a spear, there is a shield.

Even Pangu has the great existence of Honghuang to keep balance.

Several Ancestor Witches acting together still cannot be said to have overturned the Demon Race.

The next moment!

"Hum!"

The infinite stars burst forth with starlight; the Zhou Tian Divine God roared the star sea; the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Form stood firm in eternity; the Chaos Sacred Bell reverberated across the eight wildernesses; the Kunpeng wind and water raced across the universe.

The Zhou Tian Star Dipper Grand Formation activated!

In an instant, the fluctuations of human Dao's power were borrowed, drawn, and forged into an eternal wall, blocking the advance of the supreme Ancestor Witches.

From a tactical standpoint, this attack failed.

But from the original intention, it could also be considered a success—because, immediately apparent, in the terrifying formation encircling the girl at the East Sea Shore, two lurking Dao principle powers instantly dimmed.

"Despicable! Shameless!"

Xuanming Ancestor Witch watched, angrily shouting, "Such despicable means…… Di Jun! Taiyi! Kunpeng!"

"I don't know which of you did this wicked deed, but when you walk alone from now on, be extremely careful…… don't die a wrongful death ah ah ah!"

He spoke word by word, pausing, seeming to utter caring words, yet his tone overflowed with blatant intimidation!

——Don't be alone!

——If you're alone, you die!

"This……"

In the Star Dipper Grand Formation, Taiyi's expression shifted, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Di Jun, however, was far calmer; while watching the Ancestor Witches charging the Zhou Tian Star Dipper Grand Formation and the brutal battlefield at the East Sea Shore, his expression slightly tightened, his eyes deep and terrifying.

"There's no need to say anything." He raised his hand, blocking Taiyi, "After all, they are enemies; no need for many words."

"Just two of them…… what's there to rush about?"

The Heavenly Emperor coldly snorted, said no more, personally commanded the formation: "Change formation, crush them!"

"Thud!"

The vast bell waves spread, myriad starlight fell, the ancient aura surged; in a daze it seemed as if the whole starry sky were pulled back to that most ancient epoch, the time when Pangu forged the starry sky.

The greatest power surged, overwhelming the mighty and high-spirited ancestor witches who had come to pick a fight.

Here, a stalemate ensued for a moment.

They checked each other, finding it hard to split their focus.

……

The Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu's offensive in the starry sky had considerable effect.

But unfortunately, it ultimately could not play a decisive role.

The girl encountered a well-prepared assault; behind it lay layers of dark schemes, as if everything had been taken into account.

Although two forces had waned, the remaining few suddenly surged in strength!

They seemed to be risking exposure of their true identities, attacking wildly and slaughtering without regard for cost.

Of course, even at such a moment, these assassins were also making remedial efforts.

In one instant, imitation burst forth with the power of the Dragon Ancestor; in the next, it flowed with the essence of Hongjun.

In a snap of the fingers, a moment, it is the sweeping away of the Taiji diagram; with a rise and fall of thought, the slaughter of Avici dances.

Looking back suddenly, I saw the void sea leaping sideways; a long, lingering sigh, it is Suiyue Changhe flowing.

……

A mere few people, yet they donned the shells of more than ten top figures, even including Nüwa's creation and the Great Dao of reincarnation!

Perhaps these powers are merely disguises, imitations…… but who can know which, beneath the disguise, are real?

This is not impossible.

Because……

Among the myriad transformations, there are those subtle moments when the supremely powerful figures who came to besiege Nüwa, at the moment someone disguised themselves as "×××", had their breath hitch slightly, as if a guilty thief had been exposed.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility of acting.

True and false, false and true…… who can tell them apart?

If there were enough time, that would be fine.

The problem is, all of this is concentrated into this brief moment, stabbing the girl to death!

Not killing the girl, I swear I will not rest!

These furtive individuals, their killing intent is too resolute.

In such a brutal battlefield, the Dragon Ancestor could not remain aloof, was forced to join, and must assist the girl in resisting the enemy.

However, in the next instant, a Great Dao like his manifested on someone, who slapped the girl's back, making her spit blood.

"Azure!" the girl shouted angrily.

"Not me..." the Dragon Ancestor felt annoyed, yet was speechless.

——He had run into trouble.

In a moment's clash, he faced an opponent whose methods were special and mysterious, neutralizing the Dragon Ancestor's divine powers before they could arise, arising in silence, ending in stillness…… being suppressed in realm, the Dragon Ancestor was just like an actor, staging a fixed match!

Whether it's a fixed match or not, outsiders can't tell for a while.

On the contrary, that dragon palm strike slapped onto the girl's back looks painful to behold!

And one mistaken move, the situation collapses instantly.

The girl instantly fell into a deadly predicament, unable to break free.

Several splendid rays of light blazed up, surrounding her, it is the destruction of causality, the erasure of existence…… Absolute Kill has appeared!

"This prince has roamed the world for years, never expecting to fall today into the hands of this bunch of sneaky, despicable scoundrels!"

The girl let out a deep sigh, echoing across the vast heavens and earth, an indescribable sorrow and loneliness.

"However, even if I die, I will remember you, Afterwards……"

"What are you saying?!" a sudden soft shout cut off the girl's closing remarks.

A holy emperor with a human body and dragon tail appeared, standing on the shore of the Eastern Sea, holding a small axe in hand.

——Xihuang!

"You will not necessarily die."

"Come what may, humanity is also my younger sister's creation."

"You, as the crown prince of the human emperor, though your abilities are mediocre, your skills lacking, neither outstanding nor inadequate…… but the bond of incense remains. If you follow the Dao, call me 'Ancestor', I may yet be able to save you from peril."

Xihuang did not know how long he had been crouching; upon appearing, he shouted for the girl, "Ancestor, save me!"

Instantly, the girl's eyes flared with anger.

This is too bullying!

For her, whose era's wings are plump and beginning to swell proudly, she is very concerned about saving face; even saying "Brother, save me" is hard to utter, she cannot speak it.

What more saying "Ancestor, save me"?

How much advantage would be taken!

The girl is very strong-willed, swearing never to yield.

"You're dreaming!"

The girl gritted her teeth, her tone gloomy: "I will die here today, beaten by a crowd, besieged by killers, even if reduced to this number, I will not utter such embarrassing words!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Xihuang sighed.

"You've given up on that idea!" the girl declared firmly, then ignored him, focusing solely on dealing with the besiegers.

The tragedy is.

With Xihuang suddenly appearing out of nowhere to interrupt, the previously brewing feelings are mostly lost.

Taking a deep breath, the girl's dramatics lent her strength, allowing her to barely continue.

However……

"But I can't just watch you get knocked out like that!" Xihuang didn't want to let her go, "Although you're just a trumpet, even if your account is deleted it's no big deal."

"But you just died for no reason—isn't that a slap to my face?"

"I won't allow it… I have to save you."

"Sigh! I'm just this kind of benevolent, family‑loving person."

Xihuang felt moved, slowly raising his axe; the axe's aura flashed, bearing the divine aura of opening heaven and earth.

——This is to split the chaotic law and open a rescue passage!

As long as there's a gap to exploit, with so many Great Luo of the Wu Clan, we could definitely rescue the girl!

The girl looked at Xihuang like this, her throat constricted, the urge to vomit blood overwhelming.

"You damn dog!"

"You ruined my big plan!"

His mouth was full of blood, some from blows, some from rage.

But soon she wouldn't need to be angry.

Because among those surrounding and killing, someone shouted low, "Quick battle, quick decision!"

Then, the astonishing Dao principle, the splendid rippling light filled his entire vision, leaving Xihuang momentarily stunned.

That power…… he knew it well!

How could he not be familiar?

It is his Dao!

The power of "Change" (Yi), the constant flux of being and non‑being, mastering all changes and transformations, sealing every possible evolution, is the most ordinary yet also the most extraordinary.

Under such power, the girl was solidified within it; her identity from past to present and into the future was all locked down, imprisoned.

Then……

Burning!

Clearing!

"Ah!"

The girl cried out in sorrow, her face full of disbelief, she turned back to look at Xihuang, "You…"

Before she could finish speaking, her eyes dimmed.

The light of life was fading, at a speed fundamentally irretrievable, like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.

At the final moment of her life, she painfully uttered a few words, "I… will come back…"

Then, the most terrifying great explosion occurred!

"Boom!"

Time flowed chaotically, the void raged, this place was collapsing and sinking, seeking eternal damnation!

The girl was buried here, an unimaginable horror catastrophe unfolding.

The vast heavens, blood rain drifting down.

The ancient earth boundless, it is the Yellow Springs flowing.

At this moment, the entire human race's fortune was in turmoil; countless people suddenly felt a large emptiness in their hearts, hollow, floating in mid‑air, losing their sense of security.

Indescribably, grief and indignation overflowed in the void, filling the entire spirit.

At some point, every human's face was streaked with tears.

The human race wailed!

All the world mourned together!

Blood rain endless, Yellow Springs boundless!

Dead!

The girl really died!

At that moment, Xihuang's eyes instantly turned blood‑red.

Without a word, the raised axe fell!

"Crack!"

The entire battlefield was split in two!

And on that dividing line, the existence that brought the Absolute Kill to the girl remained a coward who hides his head and tail!

"Retreat!"

The most mournful cry, at the moment of life and death, it shouted the voice of the Dao Ancestor, evolving the Great Dao of Hongjun, fleeing behind, it entered the void of nothingness, escaping in a clean and decisive manner.

The remaining few, deeply hidden, also behaved the same way.

But, same kind, different fate.

As the chief culprit, Xihuang did not let him go, directly charging over, entering Chaos, a great escape‑kill unfolding!

Anyone else could live, but he must die!

……

The development of events stunned countless people.

Even the ancestral witches and demon emperors locked in a stalemate war were now bewildered.

The girl died?

Not a fake death, not a disguise…… really died!

The existence of the girl's account was blocked, erased!

Of course, Nüwa is not dead, living well.

But the girl's being knocked out was also a heavy loss for her; among humanity, the voice that could speak out, the decisive authority, was gone!

How could this be…… How could it be like this……

The Profound Darkness Ancestral Witch's eyes were blood-red, faintly glistening with tears.

At this moment, she could no longer continue attacking the Heavenly Court; she turned and left straight away.

With just a single step, she arrived at the shore of the East Sea, fists clenched, killing intent soaring to the heavens.

In the next instant, the remaining ancestral witches also arrived, gazing at Nüwa's burial site, their faces filled with pain and sorrow.

Unforgivable!

Di Jiang let out a low roar, turned and rushed into the Underworld of Reincarnation, 'Hongjun!'

What you have done!

Give me your life!

He had not forgotten that, at the final moment, that person's means of escaping death was actually an evolution of Hongjun's Great Dao!
