Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Kunpeng held the Hetu and Luoshu, and the shock he experienced far exceeded that of other demons.

The violent power shook his very essence, causing the laws within his body to become disordered.

His consumption far exceeded the consumption caused by maintaining only one Star Banner in the past.

The more Kunpeng thought about it, the more a deep sense of regret welled up in his heart.

If he had known that presiding over this Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array would involve such immense pressure and such a high price, why would he have bothered to vie for the position of the main array master?

Previously, when Di Jun entrusted him with the Hetu Luoshu and put him in charge of the great formation, he was secretly delighted, thinking that this was Di Jun's trust in him and a sign of his rising status in the demon race.

But now he understands...

This is not trust!

This is a hot potato.

This is a deadly sign.

That violent power caused him immense suffering in one go.

If the phantom of Pangu had swung a few more times...!

He dared not think any further.

He could only grit his teeth and desperately try to draw upon the essence of the stars in the heavens to recover from his own depletion.

Behind the great formation, Di Jun's gaze was equally solemn.

Looking at the vast land that had been razed to the ground, and at the countless demons who had been expended in great quantities, he felt a deep unease welling up in his heart.

This time, the power of the Dutian Divine Fiend Formation far exceeded his expectations.

Especially after the Twelve Ancestral Witches went berserk, the power of that axe strike was simply terrifying beyond description.

Even those saints probably wouldn't dare to directly withstand that axe blow.

If it weren't for the strong defensive capabilities of the Zhou Tian Star Array, and the fact that most of the power was transferred to the Zhou Tian Stars through the Star Banner...!

He glanced at the starry sky.

The 365 stars in the celestial sphere are currently experiencing violent fluctuations.

The starlight flickered and dimmed.

That was the transferred power, impacting the very essence of those ancient stars.

It won't be a problem for a while, but what if it happens a few more times?

Like Kunpeng, Dijun dared not think too much.

He looked at Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi was also looking at him.

They both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes!

This battle will not be easy.

On the direction of Buzhou Mountain, the twelve ancestral witches also had solemn expressions.

They thought that by using their full strength with the first axe blow, even if they couldn't break through the Zhou Tian Star Array, they could at least catch the demons off guard and severely injure them!

Unexpectedly, the demons reacted quickly and managed to block the axe blow completely.

"Again!"

Dijiang spoke, his voice low and resolute.

"good!"

"Splitter this tortoise shell!"

As Dijiang's blood energy surged forth, a drop of dark golden essence blood appeared beside him.

"Little sister!"

Houtu's figure appeared in that drop of dark golden Pangu's essence blood.

"Big brother!" Houtu replied!

Dijiang gave him a deep look, then nodded.

"The rest is up to you."

Houtu paused for a moment, then nodded.

Dijiang used his own vast blood essence to envelop that drop of Pangu's blood essence and sent it directly to the core of Pangu's phantom.

The moment that drop of essence blood merged into the formation, the entire array trembled.

At the same time, the other Ancestral Witches simultaneously activated their own origins, causing their vast blood energy to surge forth!

The twelve primordial blood energies converged into a vast river of blood energy, continuously flowing into the phantom of Pangu.

At the same time, the drop of essence blood at the core of the Pangu phantom also began to burn.

Houtu's primordial spirit merged into the great formation along with the vast blood energy, becoming the "spirit" of the Pangu phantom.

Control of the Budutian Divine Array was transferred from the Twelve Ancestral Witches to Houtu.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches have transformed from controllers into mere energy providers... 'engines'.

In an instant, the demons perceived the phantom of Pangu as emanating an even more dangerous aura.

Looking at the phantom of Pangu in the void, the calm and composed expressions of the saints watching the battle suddenly turned solemn.

When the Three Pure Ones saw the drop of Pangu's essence blood, they all turned around and glanced at Huanglong, who was looking guilty and had his head down, which puzzled the other disciples.

What did Senior Brother Huanglong [Junior Brother] do this time?

As Houtu took control of the Dutian Divine Array, the illusory image of Pangu, whose body was originally slightly solid and stiff, suddenly became agile.

A glimmer of light suddenly burst forth from those empty, lifeless eyes.

The physical bodies of the twelve ancestral witches, combined with the primordial spirit of Houtu, made the phantom of Pangu seem to come alive.

The laws of nature within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around Buzhou Mountain became even more active due to the phantom image of Pangu.

It's as if they're cheering for the rebirth of the creator of this world.

Although it was just a phantom, the oppressive aura it exuded was enough to shake the heavens and earth.

The phantom of Pangu looked at the Zhou Tian Star Array in the distance.

A hint of indifference flashed in those eyes.

The next instant, he raised the giant axe that had once cleaved the heavens and the earth high.

This axe strike did not possess the same vast power or the same terrifying, world-destroying force as the first one.

This axe blow looked like an ordinary strong man chopping down a tree with an ordinary axe.

Yet, the blade of that axe contained a power that terrified all living beings in the world.

The power was contained within, condensed to the perfect degree.

All the power was concentrated on the axe blade.

Not a single ounce of extra power was lost, not a single ounce of power was wasted.

Within the Zhou Tian Star Array, the 365 demon ancestors looked at the axe raised by the phantom of Pangu, and a sense of doubt welled up in their hearts.

This axe blow... doesn't seem very strong!

Its power, its momentum, its fluctuations—compared to the first axe strike, it was far inferior.

The regretful look on Kunpeng's face vanished at that moment.

Those dim eyes suddenly lit up.

He sensed the aura emanating from the phantom of Pangu through the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams, and a surge of joy welled up within him.

"Haha!" Kunpeng suddenly burst into laughter, "Those barbarians, their vital energy is insufficient."

His voice reached the ears of every demon through the Hetu Luoshu.

The demons at the Great Luo Realm were taken aback at first, then their faces lit up with joy.

Qi and blood are insufficient at their source.

That last axe strike had greatly depleted the Twelve Ancestral Witches, rendering them unable to unleash such terrifying power again.

"Block it!"

Kunpeng's voice rang out again, filled with barely suppressed excitement, "As long as we can block this axe, victory belongs to the demon race."

All the demons within the formation simultaneously activated the Star Banner with all their might, drawing upon the origin of the stars in the heavens.

Only Fuxi, who was skilled in the secrets of heaven, felt a vague sense of unease rising in his heart as he looked at the Pangu Axe.

But at this moment, the one in charge is Kunpeng, and his opinion will not be accepted by Kunpeng.

The starlight, mixed with the essence of the celestial bodies, poured wildly into the great formation.

Layer upon layer of star-studded barriers lit up once more.

Although it is not as powerful as before, it still possesses terrifying defensive capabilities.

As the laws of the stars flowed, they almost transformed the entire void into a starry realm.

Kunpeng sensed the power emanating from the Zhou Tian Star Array and felt reassured.

That axe blow can definitely be blocked.
