Chapter 211: Western powerhouses rush to aid, great battle erupts!
The reaction of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was also understandable.
Although their relationship with Chen Ku wasn't particularly deep, nor was it a close friendship.
But know that the Wu Clan has always been decisive in slaughter, acting with frankness.
Therefore, when they previously sparred with Chen Ku, the Twelve Ancestral Witches chose to act separately.
And today, upon seeing the mighty ones of the Demon Court join forces to besiege Chen Ku and Hong Yun,
Such conduct is truly despicable.
Moreover, if we go by seniority, Di Jun and Taiyi are naturally senior to Chen Ku.
It is both bullying the few with the many and the strong over the weak.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches naturally could not stand by.
"Hmph, Brother Di Jiang, why don't we also take action today?"
Zhurong suddenly spoke, looking toward the chief ancestral witch, Di Jiang.
No sooner had his words fallen than Gonggong also rose to his feet.
"What the Fifth Brother said is correct."
"Elder Brother, today we shall act and assist Fellow Daoist Chen Ku."
"First, it is a case of seeing injustice and drawing the sword to help."
"Second, Fellow Daoist Chen Ku bears the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art; if he perishes, we may never again obtain this method."
The two great ancestral witches spoke in turn.
Upon these words being spoken,
Qiang Liang, Xi Shu, Gu Mang and the other ancestral witches also showed excited faces, eager to try.
Of course, the greater reason for their excitement was what Gonggong said: the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art is too important for the Wu Clan.
They could not simply watch Chen Ku perish and lose the chance to obtain the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art.
Hearing the words of those few, Di Jiang showed a contemplative expression.
After a moment, he was just about to nod in agreement when he suddenly struck out.
But just then, Zhu Jiuyin spoke up, his voice ringing:
"Elder Brother, brothers, wait!"
"This time, Fellow Daoist Chen Ku will have no danger to his life; we need not intervene."
Zhu Jiuyin's words fell.
Instantly, everyone felt somewhat doubtful and uncertain.
"Oh, Elder Brother Zhu Jiuyin, what do you mean by this?!"
"Although Fellow Daoist Chen Ku's methods are extraordinary, how could he possibly withstand the combined forces of Di Jun, Taiyi and the others?"
All the ancestral witches were puzzled, not understanding why Zhu Jiuyin was so certain Chen Ku would not perish.
Even Di Jiang cast a puzzled glance.
Hearing everyone's doubts, Zhu Jiuyin smiled faintly.
"Hehe, have you forgotten, brothers, that my innate endowment is the Law of Time?"
"This law not only allows one to trace the past, but also to glimpse a corner of the future."
"Upon investigation, I saw no danger of Fellow Daoist Chen Ku meeting death and disappearance."
"Indeed, this may even be a great opportunity for Fellow Daoist Chen Ku."
Hearing this response, the crowd's doubts lessened somewhat.
Not bad!
They clearly understood that the Law of Time cultivated by Zhu Jiuyin was profoundly mysterious, deep and unfathomable.
Otherwise, how could he hold the second position among the Twelve Ancestral Witches?!
Although they no longer doubted Zhu Jiuyin's words,
but Zhurong still seemed unwilling to give up, saying:
"What should we do, then?"
"Are we just going to be idle onlookers, watching the excitement?!"
Now the great battle is about to begin, a slaughter that shocks the world.
For the warlike and battle‑skilled Zhurong, it was truly an itch he could not bear, and he also wanted to jump in.
As for this, Zhu Jiuyin seemed to have anticipated it long ago.
"Hehe, although we need not assist Fellow Daoist Chen Ku,"
"but we can take this opportunity to continue suppressing the Demon Race's power, vying for the Primordial Wasteland's territories and many cultivation resources."
Zhu Jiuyin said this as a matter of course.
Such matters have long been second nature to the Wu Clan, practiced to perfection.
Back then, taking advantage of the Demon Race's two moments of distraction, the Wu Clan had already risen in force, slaughtering the demons and sweeping clean many of their strongholds, bringing them under Wu Clan control.
This time, Zhu Jiuyin clearly intends to repeat the old trick.
Or put another way, he means to exploit the opening and snatch another batch of the Demon Race's accumulations.
Hearing this, Zhurong frowned slightly and remained silent.
To him, what is there about sweeping the demons' strongholds that could compare to a head‑on clash, which would be far more exhilarating?
Thus, Zhurong felt somewhat bored.
However, immediately afterward, Hou Tu, the ancestral witch of earth, also spoke up:
"Elder Brother Zhu Jiuyin is right; this is indeed an excellent opportunity for us."
At present, the attention of all the powerful ones of the Demon Court is on Fellow Daoist Chen Ku, as well as the Primordial Purple Qi.
If we make a move, they will surely be utterly unprepared and have no remaining strength to respond.
This time, perhaps we can completely sweep away the Demon Race's power within the Primordial World.
By then.... the vast expanse of the Primordial Earth will truly be under our control.
Hou Tu's words fell.
The Ancestral Wu's eyes instantly lit up.
Put that way...... it would be a tremendous temptation for them.
After all, the Wu-Demon hegemony, put bluntly, is nothing more than a struggle for control of the Primordial World, right?
Moreover, Hou Tu, although she is the 'little sister' among the Twelve Ancestral Wu,
but as a woman, her thoughts are meticulous, and she often considers things more thoroughly.
Among the Ancestral Wu, her words also carry tremendous weight.
At this moment, even Gonggong and Zhurong, who previously burned with battle fervor and were eager to try, no longer say anything further.
Finally, Di Jiang's expression shifted, and he immediately hammered out a decision.
"Good, we'll do as the second brother and little sister said."
"Today, we re-emerge into the world, swearing to eradicate all of the Demon Race's power in the world."
No need for more words.
With Di Jiang's order,
the entire Wu Clan also sprang into action once again.
One after another, burly, muscular, extraordinarily stalwart figures gathered and burst forth.
In the heavens and earth, a shocking slaughter likewise erupted.
More precisely, the Wu Clan's beings, unstoppable, continually invaded the Demon Race's territories, opened wide the slaughter, and reclaimed vast swaths of the Primordial Earth, making them part of the Wu Clan's domain.
This scene also drew many powerful beings to glance askance, their expressions strange.
"These big, clumsy Wu Clan fellows always manage to grab an advantage each time."
"Hehe, exactly, the battle between Fellow Daoist Chen Ku and others and the Demon Court has allowed the Wu Clan to act without restraint."
"The key is...... the Demon Race still has no leisure to attend to it."
All beings marveled to discover that each time Chen Ku 'stirred up trouble,' the Wu Clan would seize the opportunity to provoke the Demon Race.
Who said the Wu Clan is brawny but simple-minded?!
This actually shows they are quite clever.
Reactions varied from all sides.
However, if one were to say whose reaction at this moment is the most intense, it naturally belongs to the beings of the West without doubt.
"Damn it, that Di Jun Taiyi is also too shameless."
Xi He's beautiful eyes were cold and stern; upon her peerless visage, she now appeared as cold as icy frost.
She gazed gloomily at the sight of Di Jun Taiyi and others besieging Chen Ku, unable to restrain an angry curse.
Toward the members of the Demon Court, Xi He originally felt no fondness.
Today's events left her heart filled only with deep loathing.
Beside her, Changxi's face also turned anxiously pale.
"Oh dear, sister, what are we to do?"
"Fellow Daoist Chen Ku has done us a kindness; we sisters cannot stand by and watch him alone bear such a calamity."
On Changxi's lovely, pretty face was full of anxious color as she asked Xi He.
Chen Ku once rescued her from the grasp of the Old Ancestor Cold Toad; this kindness must not be forgotten.
But perhaps only Changxi knows that, aside from this so-called kindness,
deep within her heart lies an ineffable affection, which makes her worry deeply for Chen Ku.
Hearing her words, Xi He pondered for a moment, then suddenly gritted her teeth.
"Not bad!"
"Originally, Fellow Daoist Chen Ku's enmity with that Demon Court arose because of us two sisters."
"Even if we die today, we will do our utmost to keep Fellow Daoist Chen Ku safe."
"Sister, we shall set out now......"
Xi He immediately made her decision.
Although they clearly knew the Demon Court's mighty strength, at this moment they had no retreat.
Saying this, Xi He rose, preparing to take Changxi and together slaughter their way into the Demon Court.
However, before she could finish her words,
suddenly, from afar came another earth‑shaking, earsplitting great shout.
"Two fairies, hold on!"
"Hmph, today overturning the Demon Court also counts as my doing."
Hearing this, Xi He and Changxi turned their gazes toward the sound.
But the one who arrived was none other than the black dragon that Chen Ku had once brought to the West.
He was furious, his dragon breath involuntarily bursting forth, pressing the void to ripple with waves, full of oppressive pressure.
Without a doubt, seeing Chen Ku in peril, the black dragon was truly enraged.
You should know, he had long ago formed a Heavenly Dao oath with Chen Ku, sharing honor and disgrace alike.
If Chen Ku were to die, the black dragon would also suffer grave injury.
He was immensely forceful, without hesitation choosing to rush to aid Chen Ku; even in the great battle against the Demon Race he was completely unafraid.
As the Black Dragon approached.
Many powerful beings of the Phoenix and Qilin races also gathered together in one place.
They, like the Black Dragon, had long been thoroughly bound to the West, and thus could not stand by idly.
Not only that.
Besides Xi He, Chang Xi, and the experts of the three races.
Only to see, in the void, again there were several dozen figures hurriedly rushing over.
Each one exuded a vast aura of Quasi-Sage level, captivating hearts and minds.
"Senior Chen Ku has brought blessings to us living beings of the West; he is a person of great virtue."
"We living beings also wish to protect Senior Chen Ku, sparing no effort."
Not bad!
These are precisely the Quasi-Sage mighty ones of the West's heaven and earth.
As the West's heaven and earth continually recover, they flourish once again.
The cultivation of countless living beings, which had been ruthlessly suppressed before, also gained a sudden surge like a gushing well.
By now, there have even appeared several dozen Quasi-Sage mighty ones.
They too had once received the grace of Chen Ku's teachings.
Thus, they likewise acted with great force.
Watching this scene, Xi He and Chang Xi could not help but feel their hearts and spirits stirred.
After a lifetime of cultivation, this is only fitting!
Although Chen Ku is merely a Buddhist disciple, he has earned the awe and reverence of countless living beings, even unwilling to share life and death with them.
Such bearing, compared to Di Jun, Tai Yi, and others, is already stronger by an unknown multiple.
Unknowingly, it made Xi He and Chang Xi feel a sense of shared honor.
Good!
Today, we will go together to the battlefield, advancing and retreating with fellow Daoist Chen Ku.
In Xi He's words, there was also added a hint of indescribable domineering aura.
Thus, no one spoke further.
Immediately stepping into the void, his form like a flowing light, he rushed toward the battlefield.
What Xi He, Chang Xi, and the others did not notice was.
At this moment, watching their retreating figures, a figure in the Heart Demon Realm also gazed deeply, lost in thought.
This person was naturally Luo Hou.
Today, Luo Hou merely observed coldly, with no intention of lending a hand.
Although Chen Ku claimed to be the Vice Sect Leader of the New Demon Realm.
But as long as this battle does not endanger the safety of the New Demon Realm, what does it have to do with him, Luo Hou?!
From this one can see Luo Hou's disposition is how ruthless and indifferent.
However, looking at the figures of the Demon Court's mighty ones above the High Heaven, he could not help but reveal a look of keen interest.
Hehe... good, good!
The more the Demon Court's people covet, the greater their greed, the more they can give birth to even more terrifying heart demons.
Um... for me, that is a rare great tonic.
Luo Hou gave a yin laugh, icy cold to the bone.
A strange, hard-to-describe aura also spread out with it.
Needless to say, at this moment in Luo Hou's mind, he had already marked a line for the Demon Race, causing Luo Hou to pay more attention to the movements of this lineage, etc.
Though it sounds lengthy, the reactions of the various mighty ones were merely an instant.
At this moment, within the universe, above the High Heaven.
Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces were dark as iron, silent, with anger burning.
Red Cloud Elder secretly grinning, his heart startled by Chen Ku's force.
Only Chen Ku himself remained calm as usual, his expression without ripple or wave.
Even, his face bore a faint smile of mockery.
At a certain moment, this extremely suppressive atmosphere was finally broken.
Above Tai Yi's head, the Chaos Bell hung high, its bell toll echoing, the universe resplendent, the might of the Primordial Treasure fully displayed.
Damn it!
Chen Ku, Elder Brother Di Jun's kind advice has already given you ample face.
Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being ruthless.
If you have the ability, let's fight one-on-one!
The last words, Tai Yi was already roaring like he could not contain his anger.
As the words fell, he, with the Chaos Bell atop his head, unmatchedly fierce, charged at Chen Ku, stirring up a tremendous terror.
It is easy to imagine that Tai Yi also deeply knew Chen Ku's strength, and did not dare to be overconfident.
Thus, upon making a move, he directly employed the Chaos Bell, such a supreme treasure.
This scene caused all living beings' breaths to momentarily stall.
Tai Yi!
Demon Race War God!
He struck without reservation, violently extraordinary—how stirring to the heart and soul?!
Seeing this, Chen Ku was unafraid.
His thought stirred.
"Three Lives Buddha Body, manifest!"
This thought just flashed through.
Behind Chen Ku, golden light spread across the sky and earth, boundless and endless, like a surging flood rolling and surging, immensely magnificent.
And within the boundless golden light, three towering, extraordinarily broad illusory figures slowly emerged, coalescing into form.
In an instant, Chen Ku's aura also surged forward, suddenly swelling.
