The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 31 The Spiritual Treasure Appears, Though Late, It Has Arrived

A fierce and indifferent expression appeared simultaneously on Qiong You's face.

One side is ferocious, the other is indifferent... As time goes by, the original values ​​and beliefs of the Qiongyou Demon God will be completely overwritten!

Ultimately, they were reduced to almost mechanical tools that obeyed the will of the ancestral witch Dijiang!

"Don't even think about it!"

Taiyi gave a soft shout; he couldn't stand idly by and watch his subordinates fall. With one hand, he hurled the Chaos Bell, while the other plunged into the trajectory of the Qiongyou Demon God's history, attempting to rewrite cause and effect and reverse the original self.

Two supreme beings clashed and fought against each other.

Poor Qiong You, a dignified Great Luo Immortal, not only had his own life reduced to a battlefield, but he also had to suffer inhuman pain.

"what!"

That horrific roar shattered the souls of countless creatures in the primordial world, causing them to die silently.

"Taiyi...you can't stop me from doing what I want!" Dijiang revealed a cold smile. "Do you think that I, as the Ancestral Witch of Space, wielding one of the foundations of spacetime, am just doing this for fun?"

"I can even navigate the temporal labyrinth of the Chaos Bell... How can you possibly stop me from launching a sudden attack on a Grand Luo Immortal who has already been marked!"

Ignoring the Chaos Bell that had already reached him, he suddenly exerted force with his palm, enveloping countless dimensions and spacetime, tracing back through the endless avatars derived from the innate spiritual light of the Qiongyou Demon God, and deciphered the only solution—its fundamental Dao Fruit—and then ripped it apart—

"Sizzle!"

In an instant, blood rained down, and the whole world grieved!

An indescribably dazzling ball of light was in the grasp of Dijiang. This was terrifying—it meant that everything belonging to the Qiongyou Demon God had now fallen into the hands of the Space Ancestral Witch.

"Damn it!" Taiyi roared, pouring all his magical power into the Chaos Bell, causing it to unleash its full power and smash down on Dijiang's head.

If this attack lands, Dijiang's body will most likely shatter on the spot. Moreover, the Chaos Bell's supreme authority in spacetime, if struck at its very source, would severely damage even its very foundation!

However, Dijiang was not worried.

Because he has teammates!

A slender, jade-like hand reached out from the side. It clenched into a fist and struck at the Chaos Bell that was crashing towards Dijiang!

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch!

Sometime later, she also emerged from the maze—although she looked disheveled and covered in dust, she was in much better condition than the blood-soaked Dijiang Zuwu.

Therefore, they became the main force to counter the Chaos Bell, taking a hit for their comrades who were temporarily unable to concentrate on taking down Qiong Youren.

"Thump!"

An unprecedented collision erupted in the heavens and earth.

The entire primordial world was faintly trembling.

The mighty river of time surged and boiled... everything was in chaos!

The stars in the sky were swept across by the ripples of the waves, and millions of them fell, becoming the most magnificent death meteor shower.

In the four seas, huge waves surged and crashed against the sky, towering waves hundreds of thousands or millions of miles high, smashing everything in their path.

The earth's mountains and rivers, the veins of the earth and water are broken inch by inch, magnificent and magical peaks are cut in half, and rushing rivers are abruptly changed course.

……

Countless horrific scenes serve as a backdrop to the ruthlessness and power of the top experts.

And that fleeting, glorious collision, the final outcome...

"Snap!"

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, turned pale for a moment, staggered back two steps, and the arm that had clashed with the Chaos Bell was bleeding and hanging by her side... However, she quickly refreshed her status and returned to perfection.

However, compared to the Chaos Bell, which still had some energy left, it was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

"when!"

The great bell swayed gently, its power diminished by nine-tenths, yet it still pressed down on Dijiang… but at the very moment the Space Ancestral Witch launched her counterattack, it feinted a move, then descended towards the Dao Fruit of the Azure Nether Demon God from afar—

"Buzz!"

Despite the strict precautions, the fruit still broke into two pieces!

One portion remained in Dijiang's grasp; the other, however, was carried away by the Chaos Bell and flew back to Taiyi's side, its soft luster flowing and swirling in his palm.

The shattered Dao Fruits spontaneously evolved, each becoming perfectly round and flawless... but they were more than ten times smaller than their previous size and radiance!

"Taiyi, you're ruthless and decisive!" Dijiang's eyes flashed slightly. "Knowing you couldn't take it back, you used the Chaos Bell to replicate this demon god's past achievements, tracing its timeline, forging the fake into the real, and then tearing it apart!"

He sighed, "My cultivation level is still that of a Great Luo Immortal; my essence remains eternal."

"But you've damaged its cultivation too much... Even if it eventually recovers and rebuilds some of its strength, such losses can never be fully compensated!"

"These are your subordinates, yet you cut off their path... Interesting, very interesting!"

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken." Taiyi said calmly, "Compared to being completely controlled by you Ancestral Witches, having your will cleansed, and living in a daze with no hope of ever turning things around, this is at least a glimmer of hope—a new god is conceived within the Dao Fruit, and with a little stimulation, there will eventually be a chance to awaken the true self."

"Only after great sacrifice can great gain be achieved."

After calmly replying to the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, Taiyi turned slightly to the side and looked at the Ancestral Witch Houtu with a profound expression, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, you are truly extraordinary."

"Fellow Daoist Dijiang broke through the space-time maze because of his mastery of the spatial domain, he was good at this aspect... But you, you subtly revealed a mystery of creating something from nothing, and forcibly opened up that place."

"It can even stand up to the Chaos Bell with almost no difference in strength."

"You have embarked on the path of pursuing Pangu's achievements... Your rank is still that of a Great Luo, yet you are almost above it."

"Incredible! Incredible!" he exclaimed. "Even in the Dragon and Phoenix Era, when all the innate gods rose up and fought fiercely, only a handful of the outstanding individuals from that era have reached this level today."

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

"What are you expecting?" Houtu Zuwu asked coldly.

"I look forward to... what would happen if Nuwa, the Great Sage, hadn't been late this time and had faced you?" Taiyi chuckled. "When two top goddesses clash, who will tarnish their reputation and be subdued by the other?"

"I'm really curious!"

"Hmph!" Houtu snorted coldly, as if she didn't care about the question and was full of confidence.

"On the day of the great clash between the liches in the future, I really look forward to seeing that scene... I hope that the fighting doesn't end up with a clash between masters, stopping short of a full-blown duel." Taiyi's expression was playful. "One shouting—'Master! Master!' and the other shouting—'You're too kind! You're too kind!'"

"Then you'll miss out on so much fun!"

Taiyi seemed to be saying something indirectly, hinting at some secret, or satirizing some inside story.

After saying this, he didn't wait for the two ancestral witches to reply, and strode straight into the starry sky.

At the same moment, the stars in the sky shone brightly, each one as brilliant as the sun, illuminating the sea of ​​stars and dazzling the world.

The power of the stars surrounded and protected Taiyi, leading him onto a starlit path, like a supreme god returning to his palace.

Houtu narrowed her eyes, looking at Taiyi's back. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, her fists clenched involuntarily, and she moved her feet slightly, as if she was about to fight her way into the starry sky.

However, she then seemed to sense something subtle was amiss. Looking left and right, she discovered that Dijiang, who should have been advancing and retreating alongside her, was standing still, merely turning over and over his spoils... that pitiful half of the Qiongyou Demon God Dao Fruit.

"Dijiang..." Houtu's voice was deep, "Why not continue the war and leave that spouting nonsense golden crow behind?"

"Because it's pointless," Dijiang replied calmly. "Could you even kill him?"

"Unless you can kill him instantly, the other three emperors, ten demon generals, four commanders, and hundreds or thousands of demon gods of the demon race will all swarm out."

"And... that person in Zixiao Palace, although he hasn't spoken yet, it doesn't mean he's indifferent."

"So let's leave it at that!" Dijiang said nonchalantly. "Anyway, we haven't lost anything."

"Not a loss?" Houtu's face was grim. "Taiyi, carrying the Chaos Bell, swaggered around using us to gain prestige—when future generations mention this battle, they will mostly say—Taiyi fought two against one, moving freely and effortlessly, truly an extraordinary powerhouse!"

"But our performance was also outstanding, wasn't it?" Dijiang countered. "The innate treasure Chaos Bell suppressed us, but we each had our own ways to break through and fight back... The gap in spiritual treasures only highlights our strength."

"And most importantly..." he shook the half of the Azure Sky Demon God in his hand, "Don't forget—his top priority on this trip wasn't completed satisfactorily!"

"Originally tasked with rescuing a general from the demon race, he could only bring back half of them, and that was only after he personally led the operation, wielding the Chaos Bell!"

"No one can protect the targets we want to teach a lesson. In this way, which of those demon gods and generals will not flinch before even facing us, the Ancestral Witches, even before the battle begins?" Dijiang smiled. "The stronger Taiyi becomes, doesn't that further demonstrate our own strength?"

"In short, we're not at a loss... in fact, on a larger scale, it's a win-win situation for both the lich and the lich."

"They polished their signboard, while we earned our fearsome reputation..." the Ancestral Witch of Space said meaningfully. "After this battle, those who should be most worried and reflect on their own situation are the Great Luo Emperors and Primordial Saints who were watching!"

"They need to consider, and must consider—what should they do when the Lich War breaks out and the two factions begin to tacitly eliminate potential beneficiaries?"

Houtu, the ancestral shaman, was speechless.

In a sense, what Dijiang Zuwu said wasn't wrong.

The minor skirmish between the top experts of the Lich faction seems to have resulted in neither side gaining an advantage.

Dijiang and Houtu were covered in dust and dirt, and Taiyi, who seemed cool and invincible, couldn't even protect his subordinates.

However, in the current prehistoric world, who dares to underestimate them?

Countless onlookers were trembling with fear, their faces filled with worry... Except for a very few extremely powerful ancient deities, they all had to seriously consider a life-or-death problem—

If these two camps were to "sincerely invite" them to join... would they join? Or would they join?

The issue of taking sides cannot be ignored.

If you don't take sides, you might get sent to the grave... Oh, a Great Luo won't die, at most he'll be turned into a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

Like now—

With one hand ablaze, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang grabbed at the heavens and earth with the other, and countless fragments of flesh and blood of the Qiongyou Demon Gods gathered together, mixing with the Dao Fruit.

The flames burned, a tangible evolution of countless laws of order. The burning firewood was primordial chaos, used to refine the remnants of the Dao Fruit... Gradually, a scroll formed, radiating a magnificent and vast aura.

Although the scroll is in its initial stage, it possesses an ancient and desolate charm... It resonates with a primordial spiritual light in the darkness, and has a transcendent attribute of eternal freedom across endless time and space.

"What a pity." Dijiang looked at it and suddenly sighed, "The original Dao Fruit was split in two by Taiyi... It is truly a waste of resources."

"A primordial spiritual light exists simultaneously within two Dao Fruits... Although the essence remains, the unified primordial structure has been broken, resulting in a power level loss of more than tenfold?"

"A powerful cultivator who has refined a spiritual treasure originally had a chance to reach the level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but now it's not even good enough to be a high-grade one, and it's almost about to fall out of the category."

"It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away. Neither of them are as good as our physical bodies." Dijiang Zuwu said listlessly, casually tossing the car to the driver beside him, Feng Xi, "Go and put it on the car seat."

"Let this serve as motivation to increase our speed and reach Phoenix Perch Mountain faster!"

"Originally, we weren't in a rush and could have enjoyed a leisurely trip... but with the demon race causing all this trouble, we have to be more efficient."

Having witnessed the birth of an innate spiritual treasure firsthand and deeply understood the relationship between buying and selling and killing, Feng Xi was already dumbfounded. He hurriedly held the scroll and carefully installed it according to the instructions.

At the same time, the two ancestral witches returned to their positions and sat peacefully in their respective places.

A moment later, a buzzing sound rang out, and the scroll burst forth with celestial light. The vast power of time and space flowed, propelling the Wu tribe's diplomatic team forward at breakneck speed, surpassing their previous advance by a thousand or even ten thousand times!

As a laborer, Da Luo was naturally extraordinary!

Only after they left did a golden phoenix arrive late and circle around them.

Atop the golden phoenix stood a pure and immaculate goddess, who, gazing at the dilapidated surroundings, blinked, then blinked again, "Am I late?"

"So what if we're late... it's not like there's nothing we can do." She looked with pity at the horrific battlefield, the corpses of the dead, and the wailing creatures, and sighed, "We can still clean up the battlefield for them."

"Manipulating heaven and earth, mysteriously capable of creation, bringing something from nothing, turning death into life..."

This belated deity unleashed supreme magical power and divine abilities, manipulating creation to restore the ravaged world to its former state, and allowing the creatures who perished in the aftermath of the battle to be reborn!

Countless spirits and creatures witnessed this incredible scene, some even seeing their own tragically deceased relatives come back to life. Every single one of them knelt down and paid their respects.

"The most perfect goddess...you are so sublime and great!"

"Please leave your divine name so that we may remember you for eternity and proclaim your immortal glory!"

"My name is Nuwa!" The goddess on the golden phoenix agreed to the request and revealed her divine name.

"Greatly compassionate Goddess Nuwa!" All spirits kowtowed devoutly, their voices, like a mountain roar and a tsunami, shaking the eternal blue sky.

The goddess watched this scene, smiled slightly, and rode away gracefully on a golden phoenix.
