Chapter 66: The Fall of Houyi, the War of the Witch and Demon Clans

On the other side.

Xihe and the others had long anticipated the arrival of Houtu Zuwu.

Therefore, after the Great Witch Houyi entered the Heavenly Realm, they shifted their position.

In other words, when Houtu Zuwu came searching from the direction Houyi had entered, she would find that their location had already changed.

And indeed.

When Houtu Zuwu's massive battle body entered the Heavenly Realm, she discovered that for countless miles around, there was no sign of Houyi.

Just as when Houyi had pursued Nv'e into the Heavenly Realm, only to find no trace of her.

It was the same for Houtu Zuwu.

After she entered the Heavenly Realm, Baize and three other Demon Saints had already surrounded her.

The true forms of each of their figures were no less imposing than Houtu Zuwu's own stature.

Five figures of immense size stood in the void, confronting one another.

At this moment.

Houtu Zuwu glared at Baize and shouted angrily, "Baize, what have you done to our clan's Houyi!?"

"Houtu, you need not waste your breath; today, Houyi must die!"

Having said this, Baize did not hold back and immediately said to the other Demon Saints, "Take her down together!"

The Witch and Demon Clans had been in confrontation for many years, and he was well aware of the formidable nature of the Ancestral Witch Battle Body.

A single ordinary Demon Saint might not be able to withstand the pressure of Houtu Zuwu, but what about two, or even four?

Thus, Baize and the three other Demon Saints summoned their respective corpse-slaying avatars, and a total of over nine powerhouses of the Quasi-Saint Realm roared as they charged toward Houtu Zuwu.

The Demon Clan's true forms were actually not weak.

If they were weak, it was only relative to the Wu Clan.

Coupled with their respective corpse-slaying avatars using Innate Spiritual Treasures to fend off the enemy, the two working in coordination actually suppressed Houtu Zuwu's battle body in an instant.

However, Houtu Zuwu was not weak either.

Facing the siege of nine Demon Saints, Houtu Zuwu was only temporarily suppressed.

If not for the fact that Houtu Zuwu's battle body was formidable and well-suited for defending against group attacks, she might truly have been suppressed in an instant.

In truth, the Demon Clan had not originally been very optimistic about this operation.

Because the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Wu Clan had been lingering near Mount Buzhou, showing no signs of dispersing.

However, Houtu Zuwu's departure alone gave them hope.

Thus, Di Jun agreed to Xihe's proposal, which led to the current ambush.

But to prevent any unexpected situations, Di Jun had also made multiple preparations.

One of these was the Houyi battlefield, with Xihe as the lead.

The primary goal was to capture Houyi alive or kill him.

The second was the Houtu battlefield, with Baize as the lead, primarily to contain Houtu Zuwu so she could not look after the Houtu Tribe.

Of course, if they could suppress her, that would naturally be even better.

The third was the battlefield led by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, involving numerous Demon Saints and Demon Gods, with the goal of containing the various Ancestral Witches of the Wu Clan who might come to reinforce.

The fourth was the battlefield led by the Demon Saint Tengshe, who would lead a large number of Demon Gods and demon armies to the Lower Realm to carry out one final plundering of the Human Race.

Since the failure of Bashe last time, he had gone missing under mysterious circumstances.

The Demon Saint Tengshe had become the leader of this final human soul collection operation.

Unlike Bashe, who was a newly ascended Demon Saint, Tengshe had already slain two corpses tens of thousands of years ago, becoming a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage.

Therefore.

The Demon Clan was determined to carry out this final human soul collection operation.

As the various fronts proceeded, the results were as Di Jun and the others had expected.

The Wu Clan had indeed assembled a large number of Wu warriors, a vast, swarming mass, heading straight from the peak of Mount Buzhou toward the various Heavenly Gates of the Heavenly Realm.

Because the time was quite rushed, the Wu Clan had not come with their entire race.

Instead, they came with the elites of the Houtu Tribe from the Yellow River Basin and the various tribes entrenched near Mount Buzhou, yet there were still hundreds of trillions of Wu warriors.

However.

The Demon Clan was, after all, well-prepared, and their numbers were dozens of times that of the Wu Clan, all of whom were elite warriors.

Therefore, the Demon Clan easily suppressed the Wu Clan and the others.

On the second battlefield, the Houtu battlefield.

Through the sensing between them, Houtu Zuwu could feel that her brothers and sisters had arrived, and her momentum suddenly surged; her seven large hands brandished fists and Wu weapons, beating the several Demon Saints besieging her until they vomited blood incessantly.

As for the third battlefield, the remaining eleven Ancestral Witches also sensed Houtu's location and immediately adjusted their direction, leading the clan to follow toward where Houtu was.

However.

Their objective was quickly discovered by Donghuang Taiyi.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Clang!"

One could see the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, in his hand, and as he struck it repeatedly, it erupted with waves of space-time ripples.

These pressed down upon Dijiang and the others who were already moving toward the second battlefield.

Facing the power of the Chaos Bell, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang was not afraid in the slightest and roared angrily, "Attack!"

"Repulsion!"

Following his roar, the Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, who was near him, immediately pushed his law power to the limit.

"Time Rotation!"

The Time and Space Law Great Rice of Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin collided with the Time and Space Great Rice of the Chaos Bell, erupting with infinite time and space fluctuations.

The members of the Demon Clan and the Wu Clan who were relatively close to this attack were all pulverized, among whom were many Demon Gods and Great Witches.

Meanwhile, Dijiang and the other eleven Ancestral Witches were standing together with a large number of Wu Clan warriors at this moment.

Facing the incoming time and space fluctuations, Dijiang felt a trace of relief amidst his anger.

Behold.

He and Zhu Jiuyin used their laws to envelop the remaining Wu Clan warriors together, and then, through the repulsion of time and space, instantly shifted the space where he was located toward the direction of Houtu Zuwu.

A very small portion of Wu Clan warriors was left behind.

As for the Demon Clan forces, their casualties due to this time and space fluctuation were...

Fortunately, they were all cannon fodder below the level of Demon King.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi did not care much about it.

The only thing they cared about was Dijiang and the others who were heading toward the second battlefield.

"Kill all the Wu Clan members, then pass an order to Baize to have him retreat immediately!"

Thinking of this, Di Jun immediately shouted to Kunpeng.

After speaking, he took all the Demon Saints and quickly pursued them through the shifting function of the Heavenly Realm.

The Demon Master Kunpeng looked at the departing Di Jun and the others, and then looked at the tens of millions of Wu Clan warriors who had been left behind below and were still resisting.

He suddenly revealed his true form, the Kun!

With a whale-like gulp, he swallowed the sky and the earth!

Tens of millions of Wu Clan warriors flew toward his giant mouth, until not a single one remained on the field.

The surrounding Demon Clan warriors saw this, and the looks they cast at the Demon Master were suddenly filled with a trace of panic and nervousness.

They were afraid that if he disagreed with something, he would just swallow them along the way.

After Kunpeng restored his human form, he licked his lips and then said disdainfully to the trembling Demon Clan around him: "Trash!"

The second Houtu battlefield.

After receiving the message passed on by Kunpeng, Baize's expression changed instantly, and he immediately roared at the other three: "One last strike, then retreat!"

After speaking, he immediately took the lead and unleashed his strongest strike against Houtu.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, each unleashing their strongest strike against Houtu.

Houtu's expression also changed.

She immediately wanted to harness the power of the Primordial Land to defend.

However.

Being in the Heavenly Realm at this moment, with her feet not touching the ground, how could she harness the Primordial Land to face the enemy!

Helpless, she had to use her own law power to form a shield, blocking these strongest strikes from the Demon Saints one by one.

However, every time she blocked an attack, the defensive law barrier would weaken by a fraction.

Until her law barrier shattered with a boom under Baize's attack.

Seeing the law barrier shatter, the eyes of Baize and the others lit up, and without a second thought, they continued to strike a palm toward Houtu.

And as it happened, the moment Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and the others arrived, it was seen by all the Ancestral Witches.

"Baize!!! How dare you!"

All the Ancestral Witches let out a roar and charged together toward Houtu Zuwu.

At this time, Houtu Zuwu, who had been fighting nine alone, was already exhausted and stood shakily in the void, barely lifting her head to smile at Dijiang Zuwu and the others.

Then.

The attacks from Baize and the others arrived with a boom, striking Houtu Zuwu one after another.

The attacks of the other Demon Saints were manageable, only causing her external injuries, but as a Demon Saint Late-Stage Peak, Baize's attack was not so easy to withstand.

Struck by his blow, she was immediately knocked down toward the Primordial Land.

"Roar~! Baize, die!!"

Zhurong, who had the most fiery temper, immediately stared with eyes splitting in rage and continuously pelted Baize with Dutian Divine Fire.

"Sister Houtu!"

"Lord Houtu!!"

"Lord Houtu Zuwu!"

Watching Houtu being knocked away, all the members of the Wu Clan suddenly cried out to her in horror.

Dijiang, who was the fastest, instantly flashed and pursued Houtu.

The moment he left, the expression of the Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin changed, and he immediately roared at everyone: "Retreat! Zhurong, come back! Everyone retreat!!"

Looking at the nervous Zhu Jiuyin, the Wu Clan members did not dare to hesitate, breaking through the Heavenly Realm barrier one after another and heading toward the Primordial Land.

As for Zhurong, he also took one last unwilling look at the disheveled and fleeing Baize, then followed the main force toward the Primordial Land.

However.

He was not without gains.

At the very least, he had incinerated several Demon Clan Demon Saints other than Baize, causing them one death and two injuries.

Just after the Wu Clan members left for the Lower Realm.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi led dozens of Demon Saints, 365 Demon God Peak existences, and 129,600 Demon King Peak existences to descend here.

They waited to see the disheveled Baize and the others, and the Heavenly Realm barrier to the side which had been broken into a huge hole and was automatically repairing itself.
