Chapter 67: The Hegemonic Momentum

  When I am strong, I overpower people with force. When I am weak, I intimidate them with momentum. The sage says that I am an ant, but I tell him seriously that in my heart, you are just a slightly stronger ant. —— Emperor Jiang of the Wu Tribe.

  A loud rumbling sound came from within the great formation of the Heavenly God's Array, causing the array to shake violently and appear somewhat precarious.

  The power of the Doutu Tian Shen array set up with the Twelve Devil Gods' flags was still too small, Emperor Jiang regretfully said that otherwise it wouldn't be so fragile and couldn't withstand a few moves from the two saints. Emperor Jiang's eyes became sharp and piercing.

  "Unite!" A loud shout, the originally crumbling array suddenly emitted a powerful aura once again, and the array began to rotate violently. Zhunti and the other were shocked, this formation still had such a strong follow-up ability, its power could actually reassemble!

  Before they could think more, an even more astonishing thing happened. Suddenly, Emperor Jiang and the Twelve Demon Gods' flags appeared out of nowhere. In an instant, all the demon gods' flags drilled into Emperor Jiang's body. Following that, a wave of overwhelming pressure swept across, spreading throughout the entire Hongyuan in an instant. Everyone in Hongyuan felt something, especially the Wu tribe, who sensed a familiar and loving aura. They lifted their heads to look towards the west, and those with strong spiritual power could see Emperor Jiang floating alone in mid-air. On the periphery, however, was a gigantic silhouette of a large man holding a massive axe, his eyes fixed intently on the two saints in front of him. Perhaps due to insufficient spiritual power, the large man was in a half-substantial, half-transparent state.

  "Father God!"

  The people of the Wu tribe all had a feeling, and they rushed to worship in the direction where Emperor Jiang was located, with an extremely pious attitude. Even the Wu tribe who were on duty in the cycle of reincarnation were no exception, and they all fell down to worship.

  "Big Brother!" The other ancestral witches furrowed their brows, only then realizing that Emperor Jiang was actually battling the Two Saints in the west. Without hesitation, they all flew towards Emperor Jiang's location.

  "Pangu's physical body," Zhunti said disdainfully, looking at Emperor Jiang in front of him: "If it were your twelve ancestral witches gathering together, there might be some threat. But relying solely on the Twelve-Faced Demon God Flag to gather and fight against me is no different from hitting a stone with an egg."

  Di Jiang's body moved, and he didn't say a word. The response was a fierce Pangu fist. Zhunti didn't hesitate either, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Addicted Divine Mallet were simultaneously offered to collide with Pangu's fist. As for Jieying, she let the Merit Golden Lotus shine brightly, instantly protecting herself and Di Jiang. Although Di Jiang's condensed Pangu flesh was not a threat to them, being hit would still make them lose face, so they used the Merit Golden Lotus to protect themselves.

  The two sides collided, and a loud noise was heard again. Pangu's physical body burst open with a loud bang, dispersing into a bloody misty aura. As for Emperor Jiang, he suddenly disappeared from the senses of the two saints, and it was unknown where he had been knocked flying to.

  "How can it be so fragile?" Jie Yin furrowed his brow, although Emperor Jiang's condensed Pangu physical body was not full, but it had taken shape after all, and it shouldn't be so vulnerable to a single blow. Jie Yin felt suspicious in his heart, always feeling that something bad was about to happen, and he didn't care that they were still in the midst of battle, hurriedly calculating with his fingers.

  At this time, a very small black mosquito suddenly flew over, and the original was already on guard. Seeing that a black mosquito had suddenly flown out, he didn't dare to attack directly, but instead raised his merit golden lotus for defense. He thought nothing of it and continued to calculate, and suddenly understood Emperor Jiang's plan. Emperor Jiang wanted to use the blood mist of Pangu's physical collapse to transform into a six-winged black mosquito and swallow his own merit golden lotus. He was shocked and didn't think that this black mosquito had such abilities, and he had foolishly used his merit golden lotus to block it. Just as he thought of recalling his merit golden lotus, it was too late. The black mosquito directly flew onto the merit golden lotus, and with a sudden suck of its proboscis, it swallowed the merit golden lotus into its abdomen. It's hard to imagine how such a large merit golden lotus could fit inside its small body.

  Lost contact with Gongde Jinlian in an instant, extremely frightened.

  "Give me back the Golden Lotus of Merit!" The guide could no longer remain calm, his face was anxious, his eyes were wide open, looking both terrified and furious.

  Looking at the guiding expression, Emperor Jiang smiled in his heart. The Buddha's expression was originally so rich too. However, he didn't dare to linger and immediately transformed back into human form, swooshing away to a distant place.

  At this time, Zhunti also discovered the Emperor Jiang's trail and saw that he had swallowed the Merit Golden Lotus. He was equally shocked and fearful. This Merit Golden Lotus was used to suppress the Western Teachings' aura operation. Now that it has been swallowed by Emperor Jiang, there is no spiritual treasure to replace it for the time being. The Western Teachings' aura operation will become very unstable, and it will be impossible to continue developing and growing in the future.

  "Emperor Jiang, you dare!" Zhunti and Jieyin rode their horses to chase after him, the two of them tearing through the void, but in an instant they were blocked right in front of Emperor Jiang.

  Upon seeing the two blocking his way, Emperor Jiang also stopped running and sneered at Zhunti as he led the pair, "You've been deceived by appearances. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form; the Spirit Treasure is just a symbol. Why must you two be so stubborn?"

  Bei Di Jiang's words made the two saints and three corpses jump up, but they didn't dare to refute him. If they refuted him, they would have to deny many of the Western Sect's teachings. Their faces turned bright red with anger, and their golden bodies transformed into angry Vajras.

  "Di Jiang, I think you should hand over the Merit Golden Lotus quickly and we'll consider this matter settled. My friend and I won't force ourselves to take your disciple in again, okay?" Jie Yin stabilized her emotions before speaking. The Merit Golden Lotus was too important to be lost.

  Di Jiang smiled, "Is the Buddha trying to compromise with me?"

  The two sacred flames rose again, but they had moved with a hint of anger, which was contrary to the way they were cultivating. If they didn't spend several hundred years practicing mental discipline, it would affect their future cultivation.

  "Emperor Jiang, don't be too arrogant!" Zhun Ti retorted.

  "Is that so? I don't know if you two are aware, but this new physical body of mine is a Honghuang alien species. As long as I have a thought, the Lingbao that has been swallowed into my belly will immediately be transformed into its original form." Emperor Jiang's expression also gradually turned cold.

  "Y...". Zhun Ti was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Jie Ying.

  "I wonder what the Emperor of Wu wants in exchange for returning the Meritorious Golden Lotus?"

  Di Jiang smiled slightly and said slowly: "Actually, I've always felt that this Golden Lotus of Merit has a lot to do with me."

  "Give me death!" Zhun Ti heard Emperor Jiang's words and could no longer hold back, summoning the divine mallet to strike Emperor Jiang squarely in the chest. Emperor Jiang was sent flying far away, spewing out a lot of blood as he soared through the air, creating a long trail.

  Di Jiang slowly got up from the ground, his eyes full of madness, and suddenly shouted loudly, his voice spreading throughout the entire Honghuang.

  "All members of the Wu tribe, listen to my order. If I, Emperor Jiang, were to die unfortunately in the Western Regions today, you must spare no cost to exterminate the Western Teachings for me." As soon as Emperor Jiang finished speaking, all the Wu people boiled up with excitement. The Ancestor Witch is in danger, the Ancestor Witch is actually in danger.

  "Exterminate the Western Sect, exterminate the Western Sect..." The Wu tribe's people all went mad, the voice of exterminating the Western Sect rose and fell, echoing in various places throughout the vast wilderness, even the earth began to shake. Zhunti led the two with changed expressions.

  Suddenly, the aura of the primordial chaos began to flow, and every witch tribe emitted a breath of air that gathered together. Even in the cycle of reincarnation, many auras rose up and merged into it. In an instant, a Pangu illusion appeared in the void of the primordial chaos, holding a giant axe and emitting waves of mighty aura. It slowly moved westward, as if the entire witch tribe's aura had gathered together to crush the Western Sect's aura.

  At the same time, a young dragon rose up beside Pangu's virtual shadow, and the human tribe's luck also began to gather. Emperor Jiang was the one who taught them survival skills when the human tribe was first born. Now that Emperor Jiang is in trouble, how could they forget their roots? They all joined forces against the enemy. If Emperor Jiang were to die, they would follow his orders like the people of the Wu tribe and exterminate the Western Church.

  Pangu and the young dragon's illusory shadow rose, the heavens and earth shook violently, thunder and lightning suddenly appeared on the Heavenly Path, as if they were about to tear the Heavenly Path apart.

  All saints looked sideways, this is the cohesion of the Wu tribe, this is the momentum of the aura, unexpectedly making the heavens change color.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi looked at each other, seemingly having gained some insight, and both fell into deep thought.

  Pangu and the young dragon's shadow stepped forward, pressing westward. On the western side, an image also emerged, a slightly chubby Buddha. Seeing two shadows pressing in, his body's breath began to slowly dissipate.

  "Halt!" Zuntu exclaimed in a hurry, if the Western Sect's Qi operation was suppressed, when would it be able to gather again? Especially thinking of Emperor Jiang's words about exterminating the Western Sect, if the Wu tribe came to attack and kill without regard for their lives, how could he resist? Would he have to take action and kill the Wu tribe? Now the Wu tribe had many people in reincarnation positions, if they were killed, it would incur a great deal of karma. Especially with the involvement of the Human Tribe, this weak and small tribe was under the protection of the Heavenly Way, if he dared to take action, he feared that the Heavenly Way would directly pull him down from his sacred position.

  Dijiang looked at the two saints in front of him who were flustered and said calmly: "Have you two seen the situation clearly?"

  "You..." Zhunti was about to say something, but suddenly found a figure appearing beside him, who was none other than Hongjun, who had already merged with the Dao. He immediately shut his mouth.

  "Have seen the teacher." Zhun Ti led the horse and paid his respects with a bow.

  "Why are you two making things difficult for Emperor Jiang of the Witch Clan? Do you want to let the living beings of Honghuang be destroyed?" Hongyuan asked calmly, questioning Zhuanti who had brought the two people.

  Di Jiang listened, but in his heart, he couldn't help but smile. This Hong Jun was indeed perceptive and didn't blame himself. Otherwise, relying on the temperament of the Wu tribe's people, it would have been a huge commotion, fearing that it would have turned the world upside down. It seems that the Heavenly Way really has no emotions and will only make choices that benefit the Hongyuan.

  The two saints were questioned and for a moment did not know how to answer. After thinking for a moment, only Zhun Ti spoke up and said: "We are just following the will of heaven, allowing the Western teachings to flourish greatly."

  "You two only need to pass down the eight hundred side doors to complete the Heavenly Dao's laws, whether it's a great prosperity or a great decline is just an appearance, can't you two see through it?" Hong Jun continued.

  Zhun Ti's words made the two people dare not speak again.

  At this time, Hong Jun finally turned his head to look at Di Jiang, "You are one of the overlords of the vast wilderness, with tens of thousands of auras on your body. You should maintain the stability of the vast wilderness. The Western Church has its own use for teaching and cannot be exterminated."

  "The Overlord of the Desolate Era should be respected by others, and cannot be bullied. As long as no one provokes me, I naturally won't do anything extreme." Emperor Jiang said to Hong Jun, his tone not allowing any disobedience.

  "It's all good." Hong Jun said, and then disappeared on the spot.

  Hongjun has left, and Emperor Jiang doesn't want to stay any longer either. He still needs to go comfort the Wu tribe's people, otherwise he really fears they might do something extreme.

  "Emperor, please stay your steps!" At this time, Zhuanti called out to stop Emperor Jiang.

  "What else?" Emperor Jiang turned his head and looked at Zhunti.

  "I wonder if I can exchange the Golden Lotus for the Western Teachings?" Zhunti said, but his tone was not daring to be tough. Now he understood that Emperor Jiang was the overlord of the Desolate Expanse, with tens of thousands of auras on him. Without eliminating these auras, it would be impossible to move even a single hair on his body, and even the Heavenly Way couldn't do it, unless he wanted chaos in the Desolate Expanse.

  "Give me a reason." Di Jiang said calmly.

  "This merit of golden lotus is used by me in the Western teachings to suppress the flow of energy..." Zhun Ti said, but was interrupted by Emperor Jiang.

  "What does it have to do with me?" After saying that, he walked away without even turning his head, leaving behind the extremely annoyed Western Two Saints.
