Chapter 155: Stabbing the Stone Man's Nest

Within the Earth Vein where dazzling gold flowed, Houtu gazed into the distance with anticipation.

As one of the three Main Veins of the Eastern Land, the blockage before her was far less severe than the one in the middle.

In less than twenty thousand years, half of it had already been cleared.

Although the latter half was relatively more severe, Houtu estimated that it would take roughly the same amount of time to completely clear this Main Vein, making the progress much faster.

Of course, this was not only due to the earlier self-purification of this Main Vein, but also related to the strengthening of the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, and naturally, the number of clansmen clearing the Earth Vein.

Compared to the previous Main Vein, the number of clansmen here had increased significantly.

Looking at the many figures around her, Houtu could not help but think of Zhu Jiuyin and the others, her expression immediately turning slightly annoyed.

A good amount of time had passed since Zhu Jiuyin and the others arrived, yet those fellows remained stubborn and unyielding.

If those five Ancestral Witches had come together to clear the Earth Vein, it would certainly have saved much more time, but alas, they had absorbed too much of the Chaos Demon God's blood and Qi.

Thinking of Dijiang and the others cowering in the Pangu Temple, Houtu felt another wave of distress in her heart.

The higher their cultivation realm, the more time it would take for them to return to their true selves later on.

Once this Main Vein was cleared, perhaps she could force her way into the Pangu Temple and bring the remaining members of the Wu Clan into this space.

As Houtu was thinking this, she suddenly heard a "Clang—" sound from above.

Her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly looked up.

Above the gray firmament, silver light seemed to wander, vanishing in a blink, but just as that bell chime rang with a "Swish—", a figure landed beside her, and Gonggong exclaimed in a low voice: "Little Sister, was that the Chaos Bell just now?"

The Chaos Bell was the companion treasure of Donghuang Taiyi, so Gonggong naturally would not have sensed it wrong, but this was the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

Who would have thought that as soon as the words left his mouth, several more bell chimes came from overhead, and they were clearly much louder.

Gonggong looked up and was instantly stunned on the spot.

The gray firmament shattered like a mirror, bursting forth with dazzling silver radiance that scattered and wandered, rapidly spreading to the surroundings.

Looking closely, one could see starlight shining within that silver radiance, with star after star falling.

"Haha! Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, this is the space on Mount Buzhou!" A roar of excited laughter echoed, and then dense starlight surged in, locking down that expanse of space.

Houtu and Gonggong, who were already shocked, looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Di Jun, that was Di Jun's voice just now; had the other party broken open the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space?

Suppressing the shock in their hearts, the two did not hesitate in the slightest, leaping up and fleeing toward that part of the firmament.

Many Great Witches who were clearing the Earth Vein flew up in excitement, and the remaining many Wu clansmen also looked at the sky with agitation.

After arriving in this space, they had been clearing and purifying the Earth Vein the whole time, and they were bored to death.

From the current situation, it seemed someone had broken into this space; how could they not be excited?

In another Main Vein in the distance, Fuxi widened his eyes, revealing disbelief.

Not far away, several Demon Saints had flashing glints in their eyes, with joy flickering deep within their gazes, yet no one flew up.

The gray sky was filled with wandering will, and they dared not flee into the firmament recklessly.

However, all the Demon Race stopped their work, all looking at the sky in shock and suspicion.

Amidst the rolling flames of the Southern Land, the ten Little Golden Crows looked at the sky with joy, letting out cheers.

"Father! It's Father's voice, I knew Father would come to save us."

"And Uncle's Chaos Bell, they have come to save us and take us out."

"Quack, quack, quack! That hateful stone man, we must make him look good."

"Quick! Let's hurry and escape from there."

The many Little Golden Crows were ecstatic, shouting repeatedly, all looking toward Xihe not far away.

After only a moment of hesitation, Xihe made her decision. "Go!"

A Hunyuan Golden Immortal herself, she swept up the ten Little Golden Crows and fled toward the broken void.

Although Tian Yuan had not harmed them, whether it was herself or the Little Golden Crows, they were the face of the Heavenly Court and could never stay holed up here.

"Hmph! Where do you think you're going!" Suddenly, a sharp cry came from afar, and immediately, dense thunder fell from the sky—they were actually Innate Divine Thunder—completely shrouding the space overhead.

Seeing the newcomer, Xihe was startled; she recognized the other party.

The transformation of the Innate Gourd from Mount Buzhou, the one the Little Golden Crows called Huluwa.

Feeling the other party's powerful aura, a look of difficulty flashed in Xihe's eyes.

Huluwa's cultivation was not below hers, and more importantly, the object in the other party's hand was a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Relying on herself alone to break out, she feared it would be somewhat difficult.

"Children, you go first!" With this thought in mind, Xihe casually tossed the ten Little Golden Crows out.

She could stay behind, but the Little Golden Crows had to leave this place.

But the next second, she widened her eyes, staring in shock at the distant firmament.

Under the illumination of the dense starlight, stone men flew up one after another from the Eastern Land, all of them radiating the fluctuations of Hunyuan Golden Immortals. A rough scan revealed nearly a thousand stone men at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

She had been in this space for quite some time, yet she had never known there were so many powerful stone men here.

The ten Little Golden Crows, who had intended to spread their wings and fly away, were also stunned on the spot.

Over these years, they had practiced desperately, and many had stepped into the ranks of Taiyi Golden Immortals, but the power rolling down from the sky in the distance was simply not something they could withstand.

Sensing the aura of the ten Little Golden Crows, Di Jun knew they had not found the wrong place.

Beneath the gray firmament, he saw a towering divine mountain standing tall, and two golden long dragons coiled on the Eastern Land; those must be the Earth Veins.

"Hoo!"

Di Jun took a deep breath, and the dense starlight wrapping around his body surged, firmly stabilizing the broken space.

Those two long rays of starlight also intertwined into a dazzling passage, completely connecting the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

"Haha! Tian Yuan, let's see what you have to rely on now!" Di Jun looked at the approaching Tian Yuan, his eyes filled with excitement.

Gathering the power of the entire Demon Court, they used the Zhou Tian Star Formation to resist the might of Mount Buzhou, and furthermore, through the Chaos Bell, they connected to the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

Now that Tian Yuan has lost the assistance of Mount Buzhou, how can he withstand them, with their greatly increased strength, and the fully refined Chaos Bell?

With a *swish*, Taiyi, holding the Chaos Bell in one hand, blocked Tian Yuan's path.

Five-colored rays of light erupted from the Chaos Bell, blooming with dazzling Dao Rhyme; looking closely, it was clearly different from when they had met before.

Feeling the fluctuations emanating from Taiyi, Tian Yuan was secretly startled in his heart.

After not seeing each other for a period of time, not only had the other party's cultivation broken through, but even the Chaos Bell had become different.

Glancing at Di Jun, who had darted into the passage, Tian Yuan merely frowned, not paying too much attention.

Di Jun and Taiyi were both at Peak Primordial Golden Immortal, and the power of the Chaos Bell had also greatly increased; it might be difficult for him alone, but the passage built by Di Jun could also allow the living beings inside to come out.

Sure enough, an exclamation from Di Jun came from the passage, and his figure was seen flying out.

Taiyi's face held confusion; as he cast a glance behind him, he could not help but be stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In that gorgeous passage, stone men were jumping out one after another, and they actually all had the cultivation of a late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Their figures were burly, and apart from the different colors on their bodies, their appearances were exactly the same.

One, two, three... in the blink of an eye, there were already hundreds, and the stone men leaping out from within still did not stop.

"H-how could there be so many stone men?" Di Jun's face was ashen as he looked at Tian Yuan in shock and suspicion.

Thanks to the unification of the Primordial World, with much of the world's fortune gathered, the Demon Court had also given birth to quite a few Quasi-Saints, but that only numbered in the dozens.

How could this Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space have so many Hunyuan Golden Immortals, and almost all of them were late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortals?

The same stone men, the same physique, the same realm; apart from the different colors, it could be said they were exactly the same.

How could there be such a strange thing in the world?

Could this Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space be a stone man nest? Di Jun stared blankly at those many figures, unable to react for a moment.

Finally, no more stone men jumped out of the passage, but there were suddenly over a thousand Hunyuan Golden Immortals standing on the peak of Mount Buzhou.

Meeting those scorching gazes, Di Jun swallowed his saliva lightly.

It was true that he was a Peak Primordial Golden Immortal, but these stone men were simply too bizarre.

Following closely behind the many stone men, Houtu and Gonggong led a group of Great Witches and emerged.

The many members of the Wu Clan who appeared all looked at the firmament in astonishment.

The sight of countless stars falling upon the firmament made their expressions one of shock.

However, after just one look, they immediately rushed toward Tian Yuan.

"Dao Brother!"

Houtu and the others cupped their hands, looking at Di Jun and Taiyi not far away with surprised gazes.

Tian Yuan nodded slightly in response, but said to himself: "Di Jun, Taiyi, let me see exactly how strong you are!"

"Roar!"

As soon as the words fell, earth-shaking roars were heard on Mount Buzhou, and the many stone men charged toward the two Demon Emperors in unison.

Tian Yuan had thought long ago that if he could bring the stone men from the Consciousness Space out, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble playing guerrilla warfare with the Witch and Demon Clans.

He did not expect that the Demon Court's offensive would actually fulfill this desire of Tian Yuan's.

With over a thousand late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal stone men, he could level Pangu Temple shortly.

Scanning the passage where the starlight gathered, Tian Yuan faintly understood in his heart.

That he could not bring out the stone men manifested by Mount Buzhou must be due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Will.

The passage constructed by Di Jun and Taiyi gathering Star Power most likely had something to do with the Heavenly Dao Will.
