Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 292 Ice and Snow

The moon trembled, flashes of cold light appeared, and thousands of divine weapons and magical treasures collapsed and exploded one after another, with snowflakes falling from the sky.

The countless witches watching below were shocked, looking in disbelief as the divine power of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch was actually broken by a demon who suddenly appeared.

The title of Ancestral Witch is synonymous with invincibility in the world of gods and witches. The strength that Taiwei has shown now has shocked these new generation witches, but soon these witches have no time to be shocked.

The snow falling from the sky spreads rapidly upon contact with anything, whether it be mountains, rivers, rocks, towering peaks, or living beings; all are frozen by the ice flowers that bloom in mid-air the moment they touch the snow.

The Xuanming Ancestral Witch hesitated for only a moment, and more than 100,000 members of the Witch Clan were shattered from their ice. Seeing the Witch Clan below rapidly turning into shattered ice and snow, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch's expression changed drastically. With a wave of his hand, countless water droplets appeared between heaven and earth.

One after another, great rivers appeared above the heads of countless witches, blocking the falling snow. Ice and snow froze, and cold air surged. Hundreds of rivers were frozen in an instant.

However, as water vapor continuously gathers between heaven and earth, a great river is frozen, and at the same time, hundreds of great rivers are born. It is virtually impossible for the ice and snow of Taiwei to cross the countless great rivers that separate the sky from the earth.

"The Great Dao of Ren and Gui, the Great Dao of Water, or the Great Dao of Celestial Phenomena?" Taiwei watched as the Ancestral Witch of Xuanming blocked his moonlight cold energy with a wave of her hand, and he had a preliminary understanding of the Ancestral Witch's combat power.

Although Taiwei couldn't discern which Great Dao Xuanming Ancestral Witch primarily cultivated, there was no doubt that Xuanming Ancestral Witch only cultivated one Great Dao and did not cultivate any other Great Dao concurrently.

Compared to the top Primordial True Saints of the Great Primordial World, the Ancestral Witches of the Great Divine Witch World are more focused and pure. Specializing in one Great Dao has both advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is that if one encounters a Dao that restrains them, their supernatural powers and combat strength will decrease by at least 30%.

The advantage is that if a cultivator who specializes in a particular path can transcend the boundaries of that path and use their mind to reconstruct and sublimate it, they will possess ultimate combat power far exceeding that of cultivators at the same level.

This means that the cultivator's own understanding and research of this Great Dao has surpassed the original Great Dao of the Heavenly Dao's evolution.

Taiwei's control over the three Great Daos of Taiyin, Xuanyin, and Shaoyin surpasses the original body of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Witch Great Heaven and Earth, thus controlling the ultimate Yin power that transcends the limits of Heaven and Earth.

The Xuanming Ancestral Witch also allowed the Great Dao she cultivated to surpass the Great Dao of the Divine Witch Great Heaven and Earth's natural evolution, enabling her to control all the water vapor between heaven and earth invisibly.

The Xuanming Ancestral Witch actually cultivates the same ice and snow path as Taiwei, but compared to Taiwei's path of extreme cold and yin, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch uses the ice and snow path to cover all things in the universe.

The Great Dao of Ice and Snow, controlled by Xuanming, can freeze and thaw all things in heaven and earth. The countless water droplets previously controlled by Xuanming Ancestral Witch were water streams created after Xuanming Ancestral Witch froze the primordial energy of heaven and earth in an instant and then thawed it.

However, the speed at which the Xuanming Ancestral Witch froze and then thawed was so fast that even experts of the same level could hardly see it. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch was an Ancestral Witch who mainly cultivated the Dao of Water.

In order to distinguish Xuanming Ancestral Witch from Gonggong Ancestral Witch, who also cultivated the Dao of Water, the Witch Clan generally referred to Xuanming Ancestral Witch as the Ancestral Witch of Rain. Xuanming Ancestral Witch did not deny this incorrect title, which actually helped to better conceal his true abilities.

With a wave of his hand, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch summoned a deluge of water droplets once again. This time, Taiwei, who was completely focused on the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, finally understood how the Xuanming Ancestral Witch was freezing all things to absorb water.

Taiwei, who already understood, looked at Xuanming Ancestral Witch with some surprise. His Three Yin Dao and Xuanming Ancestral Witch's Ice and Snow Dao were essentially the same Dao, but the two of them had walked their own paths.

Looking at the giant axe in front of him, which was entirely formed from flowing water and incantation inscriptions, a glint of light flashed in Taiwei's eyes. Whether it was the aura or the power it unleashed, this giant axe had indeed reached the level of the top-tier acquired treasure.

Such exquisite simulation power was something Taiwei had never seen before. Xuanming Ancestral Witch used this method to make up for the defects caused by his specialization in the Great Dao of Ice and Snow. He was very clever. No wonder he was a top powerhouse who defeated the Allied Forces of the Divine Witch Great Heaven and Earth.

"But that's not enough. You've gone astray, or rather, you're not qualified enough to succeed on this path."

"The essence of the Ice and Snow Path is coldness and freezing. You sublimated the Ice and Snow Path and thus indirectly controlled the water flow and celestial phenomena. You went to great lengths. If that's the case, why didn't you just focus on cultivating the three paths of Ice and Snow, Water Path, and Celestial Phenomena from the beginning?"

Taiwei's voice was indifferent, filled with an air of superiority: "Do you think you can cultivate a Great Dao to its ultimate level as easily as I can?"

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded, and a fox tail emerged from behind Taiwei. The great axe, coiled around a white dragon, unleashed a heavy and powerful axe light, tearing apart the water and tides that swept across the heavens and earth in front of him.

A clear and dazzling streak of light severed all the tangled waters between heaven and earth. The immense power from the earth and mountains obliterated all the waters controlled by the Xuanming Ancestral Witch. A pure white axe lay across the sky, and a series of high-pitched and majestic dragon roars resounded throughout the heavens.

The Ancestral Witch of Xuanming clenched his five fingers, and the countless streams of water that had collapsed in the sky instantly froze. The water was frozen, and countless ice and snow gathered and condensed in front of the Ancestral Witch of Xuanming. White bears, ice foxes, frost wolves, snow dragons, and tens of thousands of ice and snow spirits were condensed by the Ancestral Witch of Xuanming.

The speed at which the Path of Ice and Snow eroded all things in the universe was pushed to its limit by the Xuanming Ancestral Witch. Just as Taiwei was about to launch an attack with the White Dragon Axe, an endless army of ice and snow appeared in front of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch.

Even Taiwei was surprised by this scene. With the evolution speed of Xuanming Ancestral Witch, it seemed that it would be very difficult for him to defeat Xuanming Ancestral Witch.

As the white dragon axe fell, boundless shadows descended, and majestic mountains and rivers appeared in the sky.

As the great axe fell, mountains and rivers collapsed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth trembled and shattered, countless mountains crashed down, and the Xuanming Continent was sank by hundreds of feet by this terrifying power. Countless mountains collapsed and fell at the same time.

Above the sky, thousands upon thousands of ice and snow spirits were crushed by the mountains as soon as they appeared, but in front of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, nearly a third of the mountains and rivers were frozen and shattered, and then condensed into countless ice and snow spirits.

This time, however, these ice and snow spirits looked exactly like the witch clan. Countless streams of water condensed into weapons and witch artifacts. These ice and snow spirits roared and charged towards Taiwei once again.

Looking at the endless, seemingly inexhaustible ice and snow spirits, Taiwei glanced at the cold-faced Xuanming Ancestral Witch: "Is your Great Dao of Ice and Snow just for evolving these useless things? If so, then you can prepare to die."

"If you can do it, then stop talking nonsense. My ice and snow spirit energy has already merged with the infinite spirit energy of the Xuanming Continent. It can be reborn as soon as it is destroyed. If this is all the strength you have, then I will tell you something: you will find it difficult to die even if you want to after this."

The countless ice and snow spirits in front of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch roared and revealed their true form as witches. They were able to simulate a witch race that was almost identical to the original using the Great Dao of Ice and Snow. It can be said that the Xuanming Ancestral Witch was definitely not weak in his mastery of the Great Dao of Ice and Snow. It was just a pity that his opponent was Taiwei, who was also cultivating the Great Dao of Ice and Snow at this time.

The development of the cultivation system of the Divine Witch Great World is far inferior to that of the Primordial Great World. The dominance of the Witch Clan is not conducive to the evolution of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. This is one of the main reasons why Taiwei is confident in fighting against the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, who is already at the peak of the Taiyi Realm, with his cultivation of only the early stage of the Taiyi Realm.

"Haha, then let's wait and see."

The extreme coldness emanating from Taiwei surged in the void, and to the astonishment of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, a portion of the primordial energy and spiritual power between heaven and earth was also frozen by Taiwei.

As wisps of moonlight fell, the frozen primordial energy was sculpted by the moonlight into countless divine beasts and spirits: true dragons, white tigers, golden lions, black turtles, unicorns, phoenixes, silver wolves, celestial serpents, and giant Kun. The overwhelming array of divine beasts and spirits roared, blocking the army of ice and snow spirits that was charging towards Taiwei.

A deafening roar resounded as the two armies clashed. Amidst countless exploding ice and snow, layers of cold air and mist spread in all directions from the sky. The Ice Spirit of the Witch Clan battled against the Ice Spirit of the Divine Beast. The fierce battle between these two forces caused a moment of bewilderment to appear in Taiwei's eyes.

At this moment, Taiwei seemed to see the future war between the Lich and the Demon race. The destiny of the Demon race was shaken wildly at this moment. Millions of troops were fighting in the sky. All the monsters and spirits of the Xuanming Continent and even the entire Divine Witch Continent saw the two armies fighting at this moment.

A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the myriad races that had been suppressed for billions of years. Without a doubt, Taiwei had clearly gained the upper hand in the battle between Taiwei and Xuanming Ancestral Witch. The leaders of the great races who were kept in the pastures looked up at the Xuanming Continent one after another, and a glimmer of hope appeared in the depths of their eyes, which were usually filled with gloom and death.

This is the first time in billions of years that someone has dared to confront the Ancestral Witches and even gained the upper hand. The appearance of Taiwei has involuntarily given them a glimmer of hope. If they could live freely between heaven and earth, who would want to be kept like livestock?

Similarly, the remaining eleven Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan who were observing the situation could no longer sit still. These Ancestral Witches originally thought that Taiwei's appearance was just another suicidal act by a newly promoted Taiyi Realm expert, but now, seeing the two sides' ice and snow armies fighting, they realized that Taiwei's appearance this time was very abnormal.
