Chapter 46: Fierce Battle (5)

  "Yun Zhongzi asked his friend, what is the meaning of this move?"

  Although a life-and-death battle is underway, Taiyi's face also looks difficult to see the sudden appearance of Yun Zhongzi and the robbery of Hetu Luoshu, and he can't guess what Yun Zhongzi has in mind.

  Yun Zhongzi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. I just couldn't stand the way Kunpeng was acting, so I scared him off and took the Hetu Luoshu. These two treasures, I will naturally hand over to you. However, I also don't want to offend the Wu tribe's Taoist friends, so for now, I won't be able to give you the Hetu Luoshu. After your big battle, I will of course give this treasure to you. What do you think, Taiyi Taoist?"

  Yun Zhongzi's move can be said to be very clever, firstly, this move is neither offending the witch nor the demon tribe.

  Secondly, although he said that after the Great War, he would hand over the Hetu Luoshu to Taiyi, but Taiyi will definitely die in this battle.

  In this way, the Hetu Luoshu became Cloud's private property, and Nüwa would definitely not be able to ask Cloud for it with a straight face. After all, Taiyi and Emperor Jun were both dead, and the demon clan didn't have any truly powerful masters. As for Kunpeng, I reckon Nüwa was also somewhat annoyed at him right now.

  This way, he wouldn't offend either the witches or the demons, and he could also obtain the Hetu Luoshu without any trouble; Yun Zhongzi was already overjoyed.

  The six ancestral witches of the Yao tribe changed their expressions as soon as they heard Yun Zhongzi say that he would give the Hetu Luoshu to Taiyi, but immediately afterwards Yun Zhongzi said that it would be given to Taiyi after a great war, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  Taiyi heard this and also felt helpless. If he were in Yun Zhongzi's position, he would do the same. Therefore, Taiyi said, "Alright, thank you, fellow Taoist. After I kill the young ones of the Wu tribe, let's drink and chat again."

  Taiyi became more agile after Emperor Jun's tragic death, and now he actually wanted to pull Yun Zhongzi into the demon clan's chariot, unfortunately, he chose the wrong target.

  Yun Zhongzi smiled ambiguously and didn't say a word, turning around to leave Mount Bu Zhou. Along the way, there were no demons or witches from any tribe blocking his path.

  Taiyi lets Yun Zhongzi leave and goes all out to fight against the six Ancestral Witches.

  The Donghuang Bell rang out across the sky and earth, with purple energy swirling around it as it moved, enveloping the Donghuang Taoyi within. Protecting Taoyi, however, was futile in the face of the six ancestral shamans. As a result, the Donghuang Bell above Taoyi's head shook uncontrollably, as if about to fall.

  Half an hour later, Dong Huang Taizhen was caught off guard and suffered a severe blow, spitting out fresh blood.

  "Ah!"

  Taiyi was furious, since his birth, he had never encountered such a predicament, even the last time, he had not fallen to this extent when Pan Gu's true body struck him with one blow.

  Taiyi's entire body was trembling violently, his internal energy depleted, and his primordial spirit had suffered severe damage, becoming dull and devoid of light.

  Taiyi knew that if things continued like this, he would soon follow in his older brother's footsteps, and the demon clan would also be slaughtered by the witch clan. Taiyi's heart was filled with hatred, and the Donghuang Bell shook again, slightly pushing back the six ancestral witches. Then, he forced out all the essence blood from his body and poured it into the Donghuang Bell. After that, his primordial spirit left his body and also merged with the Donghuang Bell.

  Thus, Taiyi's entire body instantly withered under the attack of the six ancestral witches, and in an instant, it turned into powder. However, at this moment, Taiyi let out a loud roar on the Donghuang Bell, causing the bell to vibrate violently. The sound of the bell was stronger than ever before, shaking the six ancestral witches off balance.

  Taking this opportunity, the Eastern Emperor's Bell flashed once and suddenly enlarged more than ten times in mid-air. The bell mouth emitted countless purple gases, which then directly enveloped the six Ancestral Witches.

  The bell mouth, like a black hole, swallowed the six ancestral witches' true bodies whole, and the six ancestral witches all roared, their deafening voices shaking the air, causing the blood of the various demon tribes to churn.

  The Eastern Emperor Bell spun rapidly, sometimes large and sometimes small, with the bell sound constantly ringing out. At the same time, a vast amount of primordial energy surged towards the Eastern Emperor Bell like a tidal wave. With each ring of the Eastern Emperor Bell, all the voids within a million miles were shattered and returned to the primordial state, transforming into earth, fire, wind, and water, gushing out from the void and then pouring back into the Eastern Emperor Bell.

  "Dong Dong Dong!"

  From within the Eastern Emperor Bell, a series of muffled sounds kept coming out, making one's heart involuntarily beat in sync with its rhythm. Meanwhile, the Eastern Emperor Bell was seen jumping up and down in mid-air, like a bell clapper, swinging irregularly without any rules.

  Suddenly, the Eastern Emperor's Bell shook, and the entire primordial energy of the surrounding mountains of Buzhou surged uncontrollably into the void, pouring into the Eastern Emperor's Bell. The vast primordial energy formed streams that flowed towards the bell, a breathtaking sight. The dense energy was like flowing water, dazzling to the point where one couldn't open their eyes.

  After all the yuanqi was absorbed into the Eastern Emperor Bell, the dull thuds inside the bell grew even faster. Within a radius of ten thousand miles around the Eastern Emperor Bell, there wasn't a single living being left.

  "Ah..."

  Suddenly, a mournful cry came from the Eastern Emperor Bell, followed by several angry roars, apparently one of the Witch Tribe's Ancestral Witches had suffered heavy injuries or fallen.

  Innumerable chaotic primordial energies all poured into the Eastern Emperor's Bell, which continued to rotate in the void without stopping for a moment. However, as time passed, the chaotic primordial energy could no longer satisfy the consumption of the Eastern Emperor's Bell. At this point, the Eastern Emperor Taizhen set his sights on the endless starry sky.

  The Eastern Emperor's Bell flipped over, its mouth facing the endless void, and a massive suction force emanated from it. The Eastern Emperor's Bell was like a whale swallowing a cow, absorbing all the power of countless stars in the starry sky. From the perspective of the Honghuang Continent, the Eastern Emperor's Bell was like a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth to devour the power of the entire starry sky.

  This scene made the primordial spirits' scalps numb with fear, it was too terrifying. Many people were stunned on the spot, staring blankly at the Eastern Emperor's Bell in the void.

  Far away in the clouds, Yun Zhongzi was also staring at the Eastern Emperor's Clock with his eyes wide open, muttering to himself, "The Eastern Emperor's Clock is indeed one of the three great pre-heavenly treasures, its power is terrifying and makes people gasp in amazement."

  The Eastern Emperor's Bell obtained an immense amount of star power, and its might suddenly surged. At the same time, it did not forget to absorb the primordial energy from the Hongyuan, making the Eastern Emperor's Bell even more powerful.

  The countless creatures of the Desolate Expanse only heard a series of furious roars and mournful wails coming from within the Eastern Emperor's Bell.

  It's also unknown how much time has passed, but the vast expanse of void near the Eastern Emperor Bell had long since collapsed in large tracts and returned to chaos. The Eastern Emperor Bell itself transformed into a small, delicate bell suspended in mid-air. Opposite it stood Gonggong, panting heavily with his body bent forward.

  At this time, Gonggong had long lost the majesty of a ancestral witch. His true body was tattered and worn out, with scales falling off all over his body, endless black blood dripping down, the green python in his hand was on its last breath, and the two black dragons that were originally under his feet had also disappeared. On his true body, one terrifying wound after another made people shiver at the sight, Gonggong's eyes were a deep red.

  At this time, the Dong Huang bell shone brightly, and after a stir, it transformed into an imperial robe man, who was Tai Yi. However, at this moment, only a wisp of his true spirit remained.

  Originally, the Eastern Emperor Taizhen used the Eastern Emperor Bell to trap the six ancestral witches, and then wanted to take advantage of the Eastern Emperor Bell's advantage to kill all the ancestral witches at once. However, he was ultimately exhausted and could not withstand the strong attack of the ancestral witches, killing five ancestral witches and severely injuring Gonggong before being unable to hold on, his soul was shattered by Gonggong, leaving only a wisp of true spirit unextinguished.

  Gong Gong's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Taiyi, his anger burning fiercely. In an instant, a long knife materialized in his hand and he hacked at Taiyi with all his might.

  Taiyi was now just a wisp of true spirit. Although he struggled to turn the Donghuang Bell to resist, he ultimately could not escape and died at the hands of Gonggong.

  The distant You tribe saw this, their eyes cracked with anger, and they couldn't wait to rush up to the sky and kill Gonggong.

  At this time, Gonggong, after killing Taiyi, felt a wave of relief all over his body. But as soon as he thought of the ten brothers who had died in battle, Gonggong's eyes burst out with air and he couldn't help but cry out in grief, "Ah, Emperor Jun, Taiyi is dead! My sons, kill for me!!!"

  "Kill!"

  The witches and wizards all shouted in unison, their momentum directly overwhelming the demon tribe. The two tribes then clashed again, at this moment, the number of people in both tribes had decreased by 90%, and most of those who remained were some small demons and small witches. Among the top ten demons, several had died, while among the top ten witches, only a few had survived.

  The two tribes can be said to have suffered a double defeat.

  Gonggong stood in the void with his body bent, and said sorrowfully: "Since everyone is dead, what's the point of me still being alive?"

  In the distance, he saw that Tiān Tīng was still intact, and his anger suddenly reached the sky. He then opened his bloody mouth wide and wildly sucked in several mouthfuls of primordial chaos energy. As soon as a wisp of spiritual power appeared within him, he immediately unfolded his body, and his massive body, like a giant pillar holding up the sky, instantly appeared above the Honghuang Continent. Then, Gonggong's enormous head was seen to strike Zhōu Shān like a shooting star streaking across the starry sky.

  "Crack!"

  A loud cracking sound echoed, and the Buzhou Mountain transformed from Pangu's spine suddenly split in half. The primordial chaos shook violently, with a gap opening up in the northwest sky and a depression forming in the southeast earth. A massive hole suddenly appeared in the sky above Mount Buzhou, as the boundless waters of the Nine Heavens poured down ceaselessly.

  The nine heavens' flood instantly submerged Mount Buzhou, and countless lives perished under the waters of the nine heavens.

  The dilapidated Heavenly Court had long since lost a single member of the demon tribe, and the entire Heavenly Court fell downwards before being tossed aside by the Nine Heavens' Turbid Water that poured down from above. It was later restored to its original position by the Ancestor of the Way, Hongjun.

  The nine heavens and muddy waters were so vast, rushing down, almost in an instant the entire Honghuang continent was submerged.

  The Desolate Continent was shattered and split into four pieces, one of which became the Western Continent guarded by the Two Saints of the West; another became the Eastern Continent guarded by Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu; the other two continents were located in the South and North.

  Later, the primordial spirits of Honghuang named the four continents according to their directions: Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanqianbuzhou, Xiniuhezhou, and Beijuluzhou.
