Chapter 243: Nüwa steps forward, the great battle against Pangu's phantom!

This figure instantly drew everyone's gaze.

Even the Wu Clan and Demon Race on the battlefield couldn't help but cease their attacks.

Between heaven and earth, an uproar arose.

Even though all beings had anticipated it, they could not hide their shocked expressions.

"The Sage Nüwa, the Sage Nüwa has descended."

"As expected, the Sage Nüwa has deep ties with the Demon Race; naturally she won't just watch the Demon Race perish."

"Moreover, what the Sage Nüwa likely cares about most is still Fuxi."

"Even if all other Demon Race beings perish, Fuxi is the Sage Nüwa's bottom line; of course he'll be fine."

Not bad!

Without a doubt, the one who has descended upon the battlefield now is naturally the Sage Nüwa.

Beings exclaimed continuously, discussing in a frenzy.

The war between the Wu Clan and the Demon Race is already terrifying enough.

And at this moment, the Sage personally entered the fray.

This is an even more spectacular sight that shocks the eyes of all beings.

Beings stared unblinking, holding their breath, wanting to see whether the Sage would truly step forward and clash head‑on with that phantom of Pangu.

And at this moment on the battlefield.

Watching Nüwa appear, she stood proudly above the firmament, her immortal robes fluttering.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches also wore solemn expressions.

"Hmph, if the Sage Nüwa insists on standing with the Demon Race,"

"then we shall today use the Father God's phantom to clash with the Sage—what's the harm?!"

Zhurong, his aura blazing hot, said this in a low voice.

The previous battle had already stirred the Wu Clan's passions.

Thus, facing Nüwa, Zhurong could be said to have no courtesy at all.

After all, today's battle had finally driven the Demon Race into desperation.

Even if the Sage manifests, it cannot dispel the Wu Clan's resolve to annihilate the Demon Race in one fell swoop.

However, the leader, Di Jiang, obviously was not so reckless.

He glanced at Zhurong, signaling him to be silent.

Afterward, Di Jiang gazed at Nüwa in the void.

"Nüwa, you may take Fuxi away; we will not obstruct you."

"But Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others must die today!"

Obviously, as the chief of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jiang considered things more thoroughly.

He knew better that what the Sage Nüwa cared about was only Fuxi, not the entire Demon Race.

Moreover, there is no deep grudge between the Wu Clan and Fuxi.

Letting her take him away would have little impact on the overall battle, or even on the Wu Clan's quest to rule heaven and earth.

Di Jiang naturally gladly did this favor.

This way, they could avoid a true war with the Sage and focus on dealing with Di Jun, Taiyi, and the other Demon Race.

Hearing Di Jiang's words, above the high heavens, Nüwa lowered her gaze, silent and speechless, as if pondering something.

Nüwa was also weighing things in her heart.

As Di Jiang said, her appearance was mainly to protect Fuxi's safety.

But even now, the karmic ties between her and the Demon Race have not been fully settled, nor can they be severed.

Under the gaze of countless beings, if she truly only looked after Fuxi and ignored Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others, it would seem overly heartless.

Upon scanning, Di Jun and Taiyi already had faces as still as water, merely gazing with deep, inscrutable meaning at Fuxi and Nüwa.

Fortunately, at this moment Fuxi finally spoke.

"Sister, I have long shared weal and woe with the Demon Race, living and dying together!"

"If the Demon Race falls today, I too cannot survive."

"Please, sister, use your power to jointly protect Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others."

Fuxi's expression was resolute, his words ringing like metal.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and Taiyi could not help but secretly exhale in relief.

Before Nüwa, this elder brother Fuxi's words still carried tremendous weight.

Thus, the Demon Race gained a bit more hope.

Between heaven and earth, countless mighty figures also wore varied expressions, in an uproar.

"Hey... this Fuxi truly is full of feeling and righteousness."

"At such a life‑and‑death juncture, still being able to share weal and woe with the Demon Race shows some backbone."

"Di Jun and Taiyi revere Fuxi as the Xi Huang, granting him an exalted status, likely precisely for this day."

"One must say, the layout of Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others is indeed far‑reaching."

Obviously, Fuxi's move left all beings greatly surprised.

However, the beings did not scoff; instead, they felt some admiration.

Regardless of how the Demon Race usually behaves, at least today Fuxi's action deserves the beings' acknowledgment.

On the battlefield, Fuxi's words also made Nüwa's expression grow graver, making it hard for her to decide.

She knows her elder brother's stubborn nature well.

If today we ignore and forcibly take Fuxi away.

Then, once the Demon Race collapses, even if they do not die, their Dao-heart will surely collapse.

By then, Fuxi will truly be rendered useless.

Therefore, Fuxi's attitude directly puts Nüwa in a situation with no retreat.

At this moment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others also had grim expressions.

"Fuxi, don't push your luck!"

Zhurong could not help but shout in anger.

For the Twelve Ancestral Witches, letting Fuxi leave just like that is already a great concession.

And yet the latter actually bound his own life together with the Demon Race.

Is this not forcibly forcing Nüwa to take action?

Di Jiang also furrowed his brows, looking toward Nüwa.

"Nüwa, letting you take Fuxi away is enough."

"Don't be so oblivious to the situation."

Upon these words, Nüwa's face instantly turned grim.

A grand Saint, actually being scolded as 'oblivious to the situation'?

This is unprecedented, and can be said to be a great offense against the Saint.

Moreover, seeing Fuxi unmoving, Nüwa also knows that if she does not act today, she may not be able to resolve this.

Boom!

In an instant, the overwhelming Saint's might swept across, causing all beings' scalps to burst and chills to run through their bodies.

Nüwa gave a soft shout.

"A Saint must not be insulted!"

"If you want to annihilate the Demon Race, then today you must pass this palace's trial."

Nüwa said thus.

Before her words even faded, she no longer hesitated.

Her graceful figure immediately moved, her sleeves fluttering as she soared through the vast sky.

At the same time, vast and mighty law and order surged forth, strands of linked order bursting out, spanning the void.

When the Saint acts, how terrifying is their might!

Only to see the void inch by inch sink, explode with a boom, and return to nothingness.

The Law of Creation surges, able to create all things, and also to destroy everything.

All beings drew in a cold breath.

This matter... after all, has developed to the point where the Saint must act.

At this moment, all beings paid even more attention, almost forgetting to breathe.

Saint versus Pangu's phantom!

Who is stronger, who is weaker, perhaps the outcome will soon be known.

This is also exactly what all beings today most anticipate.

On the other side, seeing that Nüwa ultimately still took action.

Although the Twelve Ancestral Witches were furious, they also showed no fear.

"Battle!"

Di Jiang let out an explosive shout.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, in tacit understanding, once again activated the Great Array of the Heavenly Gods' Slaughter, and the Pangu phantom moved accordingly.

In an instant, the pressure emanating from the Pangu phantom became even more terrifying than before.

The Heaven-Opening Divine Axe in their hand also emitted a brilliant light, its cold gleam making one's hair stand on end, causing shivers.

"Three Styles of Heaven-Opening, second style!"

"Second axe splits Chaos!"

Without hesitation, the Twelve Ancestral Witches continued to use the second style of the Three Styles of Heaven-Opening.

This axe's emergence also stirred up an unprecedented, peerless terror.

Only to see a blazing, peerless divine radiance burst forth, sweeping out like a vast ocean.

Its momentum was vast and mighty, not yielding to Nüwa's Saint's might.

Wherever the divine radiance passed, laws exploded and order fell into utter chaos.

This axe tore apart the boundless heavens and stirred the endless Chaos.

Only to see vast expanses of Chaos aura rising, reversing, indescribably terrifying.

One must know, the so-called Three Styles of Heaven-Opening are not techniques created by the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

But rather, they are the supreme divine abilities truly used by Pangu the Great God when he opened heaven and earth.

Now, this Pangu phantom, although possessing only a small portion of Pangu's power,

but aided by the Three Styles of Heaven-Opening, it is a unique, unparalleled might from ancient times.

This is a contest between the Saint and the Pangu phantom.

Both sides' figures either stood still or moved nimbly, having suffered no damage.

But such a world-shaking aura spreading out constitutes a calamity for the entire heaven and earth.

In just a brief moment, the West's painstakingly restored innate spiritual qi was torn apart, leaving it chaotic and shocking. - No Chinese.

Like the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti would not stand by and watch the West's myriad things be destroyed. - No Chinese.

Even the West had poured countless efforts into recovering to its present state. - No Chinese.

Compared to the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti more clearly recognized how hard-won everything now is. - No Chinese.

The two immediately unleashed waves of sage's might to protect the West's living beings from being strangled by calamitous light. - No Chinese.

The Twelve-Rank Merit Golden Lotus and the Eight Treasure Merit Pool hung high, shedding merit golden light to protect the West's countless spiritual root immortal fruits, earth veins and spirit veins, and so on. - No Chinese.

Moreover, Chen Ku also took action. - No Chinese.

Buddha Kingdom in the Palm! - No Chinese.

With a thought, he unleashed this great divine ability. - No Chinese.

The Buddha Kingdom Pure Land reappeared, magnificent and boundless, seeming to merge with the Western Heaven and Earth. - No Chinese.

Thus, the calamitous qi filling the skies was gradually dispelled. - No Chinese.

Not only that, Chen Ku also made a move.

"Buddha Kingdom in the Palm!"

With a thought, he directly unleashed this great divine ability.

The Buddha Kingdom Pure Land reappeared, immense and boundless, with no visible edge, as if merging with the Western Heaven and Earth, taking concrete form.

Auspicious and pure immortal light swirled upward and fell into the West, among all spirits and all things.

Only then was the sky-filling calamitous qi gradually dispelled.

In the west, countless beings were full of expressions of palpitations.

After finishing all this, Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"He is truly worthy of being the first being to attain sainthood."

"Such a battle is truly astonishing."

Zhunti let out a bitter laugh and couldn't help but sigh in this way.

The battle between Nüwa and Pangu's illusory form.

No!

More accurately speaking, it was merely the previous strike; its aftermath required all the saints to act together to truly be eliminated.

The horror within is indescribable.

And Chen Ku, at this moment, had no time to feel anything.

He continued to watch the scene of the battle.

Before this, Chen Ku had already imprinted the first two forms of the Opening Heaven Three Styles deep into his sea of consciousness; the memory remained fresh.

His heart was greatly shaken.

It is truly worthy of being the supreme divine ability first created by Pangu the Great God.

And what Chen Ku looked forward to even more was that final third form.

From the power of the first two forms, it's not hard to imagine that the Opening Heaven Three Styles become increasingly fierce and domineering with each form.

If the third form were to emerge and be under his control, then even compared to a saint, he would not be inferior.

"But... can we really see the third form?"

But Chen Ku couldn't help but have such a doubt in his heart.

The next moment.

It seemed to be in response to his thought.

In the midst of the battle, another even more explosive holy light burst forth without any omen.

At this moment, Chen Ku's pupils contracted slightly.

His heart also involuntarily became extremely excited, unable to calm down.
