Chapter 17: The Witch's War Begins

  In the vast expanse of the universe, there existed a tribe called the Wu Tribe. The people of the Wu Tribe were born with extraordinary physical strength that was unmatched in the world. They could swallow the heavens and earth, manipulate the winds, waters, thunder, and lightning, and move mountains and seas with ease, mastering all these abilities with precision.

  There were twelve leaders:

  Di Jiang: Ancestral spirit of space, shaped like a yellow sack, red like cinnabar fire, six legs and four wings, stout and without facial features.

  Meng Po: The Ancestor of Wood, Green as Emerald Bamboo, Bird Body Human Face, Feet Riding Two Dragons.

  Jin Zu Wu: golden ancestor witch, human face tiger body, wearing golden scales, shoulders born with double wings, left ear pierced by a snake, feet riding on two dragons.

  Gonggong: Ancestor of Water, with a serpent's head and human body, wearing black scales, stepping on a black dragon, hands wrapped in green python.

  Zhurong: The Ancestor of Fire, Wu Beast with a human body, wearing red scales, ears pierced by fire snakes, feet stepping on the fire dragon.

  Tian Wu: The Ancestor of Wind, with eight human heads and a tiger body with ten tails.

  Qiang Liang: The Ancestor of Thunder, with a snake in his mouth and another in his hand, the body of a tiger and the head of a man, four hooves for feet, long elbows.

  Hui Zhi: The Ancestor of Lightning, with a human face and bird body, wearing green snakes on his ears and holding red snakes in his hands.

  Candle Dragon, Time Ancestor Witch, nine human faces and snake body, all over scarlet red.

  Xishibie, Tianqi Zu Wu, its ten human faces and beast body, double ears like dog, earrings green snake;

  Xuán Míng, the ancestor of rain, is a giant beast with thorns all over its body.

  Houtu, the ancestor of the earth, has a human body with a snake tail, seven hands on his back, two hands in front of his chest, and both hands grasp a python.

  The twelve ancestral witches have been practicing for countless years, and although they do not cultivate their yuan Shen, their physical bodies are incredibly strong, with astonishing power. The twelve ancestral witches can be said to have achieved sainthood through their physical bodies, of course, the sainthood here does not refer to becoming a saint, but rather becoming a quasi-saint. All twelve of them possess the cultivation of a quasi-saint, and it's easy to imagine just how powerful the witch tribe is.

  The twelve ancestral witches each have a part, after countless years of reproduction, although the fertility of the tribes is not strong, each tribe has hundreds of millions of people, with great strength and physical power, can be said to be born with divine power. Therefore, the witch tribe now dominates the vast wilderness.

  In fact, when the three clans dominated the Honghuang, the Wu clan was also a large clan. At that time, there were no quasi-saints within the clan, and the twelve ancestors of the Wu clan were only at the level of Daluo Jinxian. Moreover, although the cultivation of the Wu clan's people was not weak at that time, their numbers were very small.

  Therefore, the three tribes did not put such a tribe in their eyes. According to the strength of the three tribes at that time, it was easy to destroy the Wu tribe.

  It was just unexpected that the three tribes were all destroyed, but at that time, the Wu tribe, which had not yet become a saint, appeared with twelve quasi-saints, and now it is even more dominant in the vast wilderness.

  The Witch tribe was originally transformed from the essence of Pangu and other gods, so they have the protection of the great atmosphere. In today's Honghuang Continent, the Witch tribe can be said to have wind when they want it, and rain when they need it.

  The witch tribe does not cultivate the origin, but the flesh is extremely powerful, so every member of the witch tribe is bloodthirsty and warlike. This has caused trouble for the demon tribe. Any demon who encounters a member of the witch tribe will be slaughtered and eaten.

  Of course, there are also powerful and prosperous people who, in a fit of rage, directly exterminate the witches who offended them, but as a result, they attract even more powerful witches.

  These powerful beings could only disperse in despair, among them several medium-sized tribes joined forces to resist the witch tribe, but the consequences were severe, and these tribes were all destroyed. As a result, the monsters were terrified, and as soon as they saw someone from the witch tribe, they would avoid them far away. Nevertheless, every day there were still many people of the monster tribe who fell.

  Some of the great gods in the demon clan saw this, sighed to the sky, among them were several people who later became one of the top ten demon saints of the demon clan. Unfortunately, their abilities were too weak and they couldn't even compete with the witch tribe, how could they resist?

  The Witch Clan has twelve Ancestor Witches, each of whom is a quasi-sage cultivator. Even several of us together don't have the power of a quasi-sage, how can we save the demon clan?

  The last few people secretly discussed and placed their hopes on Emperor Jun and Taiyi, who were on the Sun Star. These few people followed Bai Ze to the Sun Palace on the Sun Star.

  Di Jun wore imperial robes, Tai Yi wore imperial robes with a cape, the two sat quietly in the Sun Palace, listening to Bai Ze's account of the massacre of the Hong Huang You tribe.

  Actually, Emperor Jun and Taiyi had long known about these things. The two of them couldn't calm down since the third time Daozu lectured on the Dao, after returning to the Sun Star.

  The two were ambitious people, but the seven sacred positions, neither of them got one, which made the two extremely angry in their hearts. However, they did not dare to have any dissenting opinions about the sacred positions allocated by Hongjun, and could only secretly sigh that the two of them had bad luck.

  Recently, when the Wu clan was massacring the Yao tribe, a gleam of light flashed through both of their minds.

  If they could unify the You tribe and ultimately destroy the Wu tribe, unifying the vast expanse of the universe, then even if they themselves did not become saints, those saints would not dare to do anything to them.

  In this way, isn't it that for these two people themselves, they are not sages but saints?

  But both of them also knew that unifying the demon clan was something they absolutely couldn't take the initiative to do, but rather had to let the demon clan come and ask them to integrate the demon clan.

  Otherwise, even if the two of them unified the demon tribe, there would still be discordant voices within. At that time, not only would their own prestige be challenged, but also during the great war with the witch tribe, they would not be able to unite as one, and the demon tribe would surely suffer defeat.

  So for future plans, the two have been enduring their impatient mood, every day paying attention to things in the vast wilderness under the sun.

  But unexpectedly, they ended up waiting for over a thousand years, and the two of them were almost unable to wait any longer. Fortunately, Bai Ze and the others finally arrived at this time, and the two of them exchanged a smile.

  After Bai Ze finished telling the story of the massacre of the You tribe by the Wu tribe in the Primordial Era, he bowed to Di Jun and Tai Yi, saying: "We few people still hope that Emperor Jun and Tai Yi will take into account their shared identity as members of the You tribe and unite the You tribe, so as to avoid the You tribe suffering massacre at the hands of the Wu tribe."

  After quietly listening to several people, Emperor Jun deliberately made a difficult expression and said, "Bai Ze Dao friend, it's not that I and Taiyi are unwilling to integrate the demon clan, but... we two cannot leave the mountain to take charge of the demon clan."

  Several people turned pale after hearing this, and one of them hastily asked, "How can you say that, fellow Taoist?"

  Di Jun said, "Fellow Taoist friends, can you few people represent the entire demon clan? You also know that I and Taiyi are originally quiet and non-acting people who do not want to get into trouble with the witch tribe. If you cannot represent the entire demon clan, when I and Taiyi come out of the mountain to unify the demon clan, there will definitely be a group of opposing people at that time..."

  "Damn it, this bastard, now we're all coming to him, and he still has the nerve to put on a reluctant face, what a pain in the ass!"

  Bai Ze was also a person who attacked with his mind, Emperor Jun's words, he naturally knew what they were for, so his face jumped and he didn't wait for Emperor Jun to finish speaking before saying, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, although we few people can't represent all the demon tribes, but we can also represent most of them. Moreover, if the two fellow Daoists come out of the mountain, relying on the two fellow Daoists' quasi-saint cultivation, I believe no one will not surrender."

  The two of you pushed me down, and Emperor Jun finally agreed to come out of the mountain to unify the demon clan. However, Bai Ze was so angry that he wanted to chop off Emperor Jun's head, scolding him as a bastard in his heart.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi appeared in the midst of chaos, and with great fanfare, they opened up a flat area on the top of Buzhou Mountain, establishing the Heavenly Court.

  Inside the Heavenly Court, various grand halls were established, including: East Heaven Gate, West Heaven Gate, North Heaven Gate and South Heaven Gate. In the central position of the Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was built. The Heavenly Court is located at the top of the Unstable Mountain, with abundant yuan energy, even more dense than the Primordial Chaos, making it suitable for cultivation.

  Emperor Jun and Taiyi, under the banner of unifying the demon tribe, led Bai Ze and others to travel through the vast expanse, beginning to integrate the demon masses. Those who refused to surrender were directly intimidated by force, and after a hundred years, they finally unified the demon tribe.

  After unifying the You tribe, Emperor Jun took the elite of the You tribe to the Heavenly Court, self-proclaimed as the Heavenly Emperor, and appointed his younger brother Taiyi as the Eastern Emperor. He also invited Nüwa and Fuxi to ascend to the Heavenly Court, where they were respectively enfeoffed as the Queen of Wa and the Emperor of Xi.

  Kunpeng, who also listened to the Tao in the Purple Palace, was made a demon master. Later, ten great demon saints were established: Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Fei Dan, Fei Lian, Jiu Yin, Shang Yang, Bai Ze, Qin Yuan, Xi Tie, and Gui Che.

  Each of these ten people has the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and there are also powerful demons such as Kai Ming Beast, Lu Wu, Bi Fang, etc., each with countless demonic tribes under their command.

  After the unification of the demon tribe, confidence greatly increased. However, Emperor Jun and Taiyi were not daring to go to war with the witch tribe at this time, but instead vigorously rectified the overall strength of the demon tribe, hoping to gain more time to develop the strength of the demon tribe. Emperor Jun also ordered that the demon tribe was not allowed to fight with the witch tribe.

  The numerous demons naturally obeyed the heavenly emperor's orders, but as time passed, a thousand years had gone by, and yet there was no movement in heaven, nor any revenge for the wrongly killed demon tribes.

  Moreover, in the past thousand years, the Witch Clan had repeatedly harassed the Demon Clan, causing many of its members to die. Some demons began to retaliate because they knew that if the Heavenly Court did not take action, then they would create some disturbance themselves. When the disturbance grew big enough, the Heavenly Court would inevitably send troops.

  A massive battle broke out, and Emperor Jun's anger reached the sky. What the demon clan lacked was time to develop their strength. For thousands of years, the demon clan had been hiding in secret, and their strength had been steadily increasing.

  Nowadays, the demon tribe can probably fight against the witch tribe if they unite, but the chances of winning are absolutely less than 50%. If given another period of development, perhaps under his own leadership, the demon tribe could defeat the witch tribe. Emperor Jyun has absolute confidence in himself, but this sudden change has disrupted his plans.

  Di Jun led the elite of the Heavenly Court to the battlefield, and as soon as they arrived, they fought fiercely with Emperor Jiang and the other eight ancestral witches. However, they had forgotten that there were twelve ancestral witches in total, because the battlefield was too vast, and Di Jun's group hadn't noticed.

  Di Jun, Tai Yi and Kun Peng were held back by Emperor Jiang's three men, while Xing Tian and several other great witches held down Fu Xi. As for the Ten Great Sages of the Demon Clan, they were also being held back by a few other great witches, causing the battlefield to come to a stalemate.

  Not long after, a shout of killing came from the upper reaches of the Heavenly Court. This voice directly poured a basin of cold water on Emperor Jun. It is said that the Shu tribe was born not good at calculation, but unexpectedly, they were calculated by the Shu tribe and their old nest was overturned. Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng were all extremely angry, and they directly killed out of the encirclement, leading their elite subordinates to fly towards the Heavenly Court.

  Di Jun and the others arrived at the Heavenly Court, only to find that the entire court was in shambles. All four gates were smashed, and even the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was completely destroyed. Di Jun was so enraged that he let out a mighty roar, his thunderous voice shaking heaven and earth.
