Chapter 157: The Wu Clan Exits the Great Primordial Stage

Inside the Pangu Temple at the foot of Mount Buzhou, Dijiang and several other Ancestral Witches gazed toward the distant firmament, their eyes filled with shock.

The towering Mount Buzhou was already completely shrouded in starlight, making it impossible to see the situation within.

Feeling the rolling might emanating from it, Xuanming could not help but whisper, "Summoning the power of the myriad stars; this Array of the Demon Court is no simple matter."

At this moment, as they looked on, it was as if a galaxy covered Mount Buzhou, even illuminating the foot of the mountain with extraordinary brilliance.

Dijiang and the others nearby did not speak, their expressions somewhat grim.

Originally, the Wu Clan also possessed a powerful array, but unfortunately, only five of the twelve Ancestral Witches remained, and they could no longer summon the Father God.

The several Ancestral Witches, including Xuanming, felt an involuntary irritation toward that stone man on Mount Buzhou.

If not for that person, how could the Wu Clan have fallen into such a state?

The dignified Pangu Orthodox were now cowering in one corner, not even daring to set foot on the Great Primordial land.

Just then, several bell tolls echoed from Mount Buzhou. A few breaths later, the eyes of Dijiang and the others suddenly brightened, all of them wearing expressions of joy.

"The Father God's will, such a thick will of the Father God!" Zhurong could not help but exclaim aloud.

Just a moment ago, he had sensed an extremely thick aura of the Father God, which meant the Demon Court had already broken open the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

"Let's go! What are we waiting for!" The hot-tempered Xuanming could not help but move immediately.

Only by entering that space would they have a chance to rescue Zhu Jiuyin and the others, and potentially reclaim the opportunity that belonged to their Wu Clan.

Zhurong and Qiangliang nearby also leaped up, ready to dash toward Mount Buzhou; they had been waiting for this moment for many years.

Dijiang, however, moved to block them: "Wait! Don't be so hasty!"

Xuanming and the others, who had already set off, all turned their heads to look.

The Demon Court had already broken open the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, so they naturally had to seize the time.

Tian Yuan's strength was not weak, and that Demon Court array was not simple; if they were late, accidents might occur.

At such an urgent moment, their Big Brother had actually called them to a halt.

Meeting their gazes, Dijiang said in a deep voice, "Let Tian Yuan fight the Demon Court first; we will act later!"

Although Houtu had informed them about the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space earlier, no one knew the specific situation inside.

They were also unclear about exactly how many methods Tian Yuan possessed.

More importantly, if they rashly left the Pangu Temple and Tian Yuan raided their home, that would be troublesome.

That stone man on Mount Buzhou was extremely cunning; they had to be completely careful.

Furthermore, besides Tian Yuan, they also needed to guard against the Demon Court.

Now that the power of the array was at its peak, it was naturally better to let Tian Yuan and the Demon Court fight it out first.

Upon hearing this, Xuanming and the others were only slightly stunned before they stopped their pace.

The Wu Clan was no longer what it once was; they truly ought to be cautious.

A short while later, a rumbling sound came from Mount Buzhou; the group said nothing and slowly slipped out of the Pangu Temple.

Above their heads were the myriad stars within arm's reach, and golden light shone brightly on Mount Buzhou, yet they did not feel the familiar might.

Upon approaching Mount Buzhou, there was still not a hint of anything unusual, and the eyes of Dijiang and the others were filled with joy.

They could see that the Demon Court's terrifying array had locked down the great momentum of Mount Buzhou.

"Phew! To be able to resist the great momentum of Mount Buzhou and break open that space, this Demon Court array..." Dijiang's eyes were full of wariness.

Although they intended to cooperate with the Demon Court, it was entirely a move of desperation.

Without Tian Yuan, the Witch and Demon Clans were still mortal enemies; seeing the might of the Demon Court's array now, how could he not have misgivings, followed immediately by a sense of irritation?

Originally, their Wu Clan did not even hold the Demon Court in their eyes; they had not expected that in such a short time, the other side would possess such power.

Zhurong glanced at the mountain peak and replied irritably, "If not for our Wu Clan retreating to the temple, how could this Demon Court have gathered so much fortune?"

Having ceded the Great Primordial land, their Wu Clan had lost a great deal of fortune, which the Demon Court had naturally harvested in abundance.

The several Ancestral Witches were not weak in their cultivation, and at a glance, they saw that this array was closely linked to the Demon Court's fortune.

Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches spoke no more; shrouded in silver ghostly light, they carefully crept toward the peak of Mount Buzhou.

Tian Yuan held the will of Mount Buzhou; they dared not step onto the mountain body lightly, lest they be detected by him immediately.

Yet, just as they neared the peak, Dijiang and the others all stared in shock at the scene not far away.

Amidst the gold mixed with starlight, one after another, burly stone men leaped out, all of them radiating powerful auras.

"Tian... Tian Yuan? How can there be so many Tian Yuans?"

"How can there be so many stone men on Mount Buzhou, and they are so powerful?"

The several Ancestral Witches were dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief.

A rough scan revealed thousands of stone men, jumping and bounding as they surrounded the two Demon Emperors.

The aura radiating from each one of them left all five Ancestral Witches, including Dijiang, looking horrified.

The group in the air looked at one another, their eyes filled with deep confusion.

With so many stone men at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal stage, Tian Yuan could have completely wiped out the Wu Clan. Since he clearly had such strength, why did he always engage in sneaky behavior? Or was it that these stone men had only just broken through?

However, as soon as this thought crossed their minds, they felt it was impossible.

The Ancestral Witches were formed from the Father God's Essence Blood, and they had cultivated for countless ages to reach their current level of attainment. How could these stone men be so effortless, and it was impossible for them all to be at the same stage.

The several Ancestral Witches, whose doubts had not yet faded, immediately widened their eyes.

The stone men—those that had been injured and sent flying from the battle circle—had their wounds recover as if new in the blink of an eye, without the slightest impact.

These stone men were unkillable?

Thousands of unkillable Hunyuan Golden Immortal stone men?

Almost immediately, Dijiang and the others thought of the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space and understood why Tian Yuan had not captured them earlier.

These stone men were definitely related to that space; they had just been staying inside all along, and only appeared because the Demon Court had opened up that space.

Thinking of this, a sense of foreboding instantly rose in their hearts.

It was because of the Demon Court's actions that these stone men were released. The Demon Court has an Array to protect it, but the Wu Clan's own formations are already incomplete.

If, if Tian Yuan were to attack with thousands of stone men, what would they have to resist with? The several Ancestral Witches saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

A gentle voice interrupted their contemplation: "The Ancestral Witches have come at just the right time!"

Then, the space before them tore open, and a figure stepped out; it was none other than Tian Yuan.

"Tian Yuan!!!"

"Damn stone men!"

Looking at the familiar figure before them, Xuanming and the others all wore expressions of great fury.

Yet none of them moved, looking with grim expressions at the few people beside Tian Yuan, as well as the many stone men on Mount Buzhou.

Merely glancing at them, Tian Yuan spoke indifferently: "I won't play with you anymore!"

Instantly, the void before them tore open, and stone men jumped out, numbering in the dozens.

Hidden in the air, Dijiang and the others' complexions turned incomparably ugly.

At such a close distance, they felt no mistake; these stone men all possessed the cultivation of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

"Lord Ancestral Witches! Please enlighten us!" Xingtian, Houyi, and the other Great Witches spoke first, their eyes filled with fervor.

They did not have enough fun last time; this time, they must surely rescue the various Ancestral Witches.

Having said this, some rushed toward Xuanming, some rushed toward Qiangliang, and others rushed toward Shebishi.

Gonggong, who was to the side, also strode out and said to Zhurong: "Zhurong, come with me; that is where the future of the Wu Clan lies."

Responding to Gonggong was an angry roar, and Zhurong violently charged toward Gonggong.

Left alone in the field, Dijiang looked at the dozens of stone men rushing toward him and also met them with a violent charge.

Without the help of Mount Buzhou, he was not afraid of these stone men.

But upon the first contact, Dijiang was shocked in his heart; although these stone men's physical bodies could not compare to an Ancestral Witch Body, they were not inferior to a Great Witch.

Shocked and angry, he could not help but glance into the distance, and immediately following that was a raging fire of fury.

If one were to say Tian Yuan's origin was extraordinary, Dijiang had to admit it, but for so many stone men to be so simple was not normal.

The legacy of the Father God; Tian Yuan must have obtained the legacy of the Father God to have created these powerful stone men.

These things should have belonged to the Wu Clan, yet they benefited these common stone men.

"Roar!"

With a roar and his wings flapping rapidly, Dijiang's figure fiercely collided with a stone man.

His Peak Primordial Golden Immortal cultivation instantly sent that stone man flying toward Mount Buzhou.

Amidst a rumbling sound, the stone man jumped back, alive and kicking in the blink of an eye.

Watching the several battle circles that had erupted instantly, Tian Yuan paid them no mind; he landed on the peak of Mount Buzhou and strode toward the passage interwoven with starlight.

Having released the many stone men from the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, the Wu Clan was already in his pocket; he was now more interested in the Demon Court.

Among the Heaven Earth and Man Three Daos, the Earthly Dao and Humanity had both recovered somewhat, but only the Heavenly Dao showed no signs at all.

Although Hongjun merged his body with the Dao, at present, Hongjun is the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is not Hongjun.

Setting aside the Heavenly Dao controlled by Hongjun, the remaining portion should be with the two Demon Emperors.

Tian Yuan wanted to use the passage connecting to the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space to see if he could stir the Heavenly Dao Will. At this moment, outside the valley where the Pangu Temple lay beneath Mount Buzhou, a figure escaped from the void.

Houtu looked at the valley filled with blood energy, a flash of sadness crossing her eyes.

With such a good opportunity, Houtu naturally would not forget the Wu Clan.

Taking advantage of Dijiang and the others' departure, she planned to capture all the Wu Clan members in the Pangu Temple.

"Wu Clan, let us withdraw from the Primordial Land starting today!" she whispered, and leaped toward the Pangu Temple.
