Chapter 58: A Small Battle

  Everyone becoming a saint was within Emperor Jiang's expectations, so they didn't feel too surprised. After 80,000 years of intermarriage, at least half of the human tribe now has witch blood, although it's not very strong. The fusion of witches and humans can be considered basically achieved. Now, they're not afraid of the saints coming to stop them again. Who would dare to exterminate this half of the human tribe with witch blood? They'd immediately be pulled down from their saintly position.

  Now that the thousand-year appointment has arrived, the twelve ancestral witches gather again at Pangu Hall. Without discussing anything, they fly directly to the Heavenly Court of Mount Taiwu. This time, Emperor Jiang had already planned ahead. Although the demon clan has Nüwa with them, they must have been warned by Hongjun and cannot directly participate in the great war between the witch and demon clans. By going to the Heavenly Court himself today, he wants to make them understand this fact, so that the demon cultivators will not become even more arrogant. If necessary, Emperor Jiang does not mind killing a few demon commanders.

  The twelfth ancestor witch moved, and all the great gods who were sensitive had a feeling. The Three Pure Ones did not see it, but they thought about whether there was any benefit to be gained from this. Nüwa was worried, while Emperor Jun and Taiyi were full of fighting spirit, without a single worry.

  "You think you can just come to my demon clan's affairs with just twelve people, do you think my demon clan is the same as it was in the past?" Emperor Jun stood at the top of the Heavenly Court, sensing from afar the arrival of the Twelve Ancestral Shamans. His face showed some disdain.

  "It's exactly as I said, with the Big Dipper array in place, we must thoroughly crush their morale and show off our demonic tribe's prestige. Let all those cultivators in the Primordial Chaos know that from now on, my demonic tribe is truly the number one tribe in the Primordial Chaos! Those who follow me will prosper, while those who oppose me will perish!" Ta Yi said, his heart full of confidence.

  "Two of them should not be underestimated, all twelve Ancestral Witch Clan members have at least mid-stage Saint Realm cultivation. Especially Emperor Jiang, who has been in seclusion for 80,000 years, it's unknown what realm he has reached by now. Placing all hope on a single large array, isn't that too reckless?" Fuxi said with some concern.

  "You can rest assured that as long as they enter the Tian Xing Da Array, even if a saint were to come in person, they would not be able to get away easily." Tai Yi said with a thick intent of war on his body.

  Di Jun nodded and said, "Xi Huang, don't worry. Although Nüwa Niangniang can't directly participate in the great war, it's not a problem for her to lend a hand when we're in danger. Even if we lose, it's just a matter of losing face, there's no need to worry about being defeated."

  "Haha, it's been years since we last met, Emperor Jun is still so courteous, specially coming to the gate to welcome us, I'm truly touched." Along with the fading laughter, the Twelve Ancestral Shamans appeared at the South Heavenly Gate.

  Di Jun's face changed color, and Emperor Jiang's words made the three of them seem to be one level lower, which made him angry in his heart.

  "What brings you here today, Emperor Wu?" Emperor Jun asked coldly, although he already knew.

  "I am the Emperor of Heaven's Court, and it is only natural that I should manage the affairs of Heaven's Court. What's wrong with that?" Emperor Jiang said with a smile.

  "Hmph, I see you're here to stir up trouble. Don't think that we'll be intimidated by you lot." Ta Yi bellowed in anger.

  "The three-legged bird man dares to shout at me, my elder brother? You want to die?" Gonggong was also furious upon hearing Taiyi's words.

  "Hmph, still don't know who's seeking death, all demons and gods listen to my command, set up the Big Dipper Heavenly Star Great Formation."

  Since the facade has been torn apart, Emperor Jun also didn't bother with courtesy, immediately summoning the River Chart and Luo Book to throw them out. At the same time, 365 demon gods appeared, instantly setting up the Zhou Tian Star Battle Array. The array opened, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed, as if in the starry sky outside the 33rd heaven, stars twinkled everywhere, dazzlingly bright. Set up by the 365 demon gods, this was the most complete Zhou Tian Star Battle Array, over a hundred times stronger than the one used to ambush Red Cloud last time.

  As soon as this formation was released, the heavens shook and all the saints felt something. After discovering the Big Dipper Star Array behind Zhou Tian, they couldn't help but be greatly shocked. Such a wonderful array, I'm afraid that even if I enter it myself, I won't be able to break through it for a while.

  "No wonder you dare to provoke the Witch Clan, it turns out that apart from Nüwa Niangniang, there is also this kind of reliance." Emperor Jiang smiled, but he was not concerned about the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array.

  "In the face of great danger, he still dares to speak boldly without shame. The Emperor's attitude is indeed good." The surrounding starry sky transmitted the faint voice of Di Jun, but it was impossible to sense his location.

  "Haha, Emperor Jyun, have you ever seen me do something that's not confident?" Emperor Jiang smiled and said, "Come, set up the Tian Shen Sha Da Array, let them see the witch tribe's array method too."

  As soon as Di Jiang finished speaking, the other ancestral witches didn't hesitate and immediately took their positions. Suddenly, a burst of evil energy shot out, stirring up the entire universe. In the starry sky, a blurry area appeared, where the evil energy swirled around, mysterious and obscure, shrouded in a bloody mist that made one's whole body feel cold just by looking at it.

  The saints' divine consciousness observed, and another great array was established, causing another shock. This array's mysteriousness surpassed the Zhou Tian Star Array, and it would be difficult for even oneself to break through. With a sigh of emotion, it was clear that the two tribes of witches and demons were indeed the masters of heaven and earth, possessing such a powerful hidden move. Fortunately, before becoming a saint, one had not excessively provoked them, or else losing face would have been minor, and being injured or crippled would have been possible.

  At the same time, a thought sprouted in the heart: to also research and develop an extremely powerful array. Thus, this led to the creation of the Two Principles Microcosm Great Array and the Western Bodhi Great Array in later generations.

  The Xiwu tribe unexpectedly had a large array, and Emperor Jun Taizhen were both shocked. The two sides had already started fighting, it can be said that the arrow was on the string and could not help but shoot, and did not think about anything else, focusing solely on the battle at hand.

  The entire heavenly spirit array was activated, and it immediately became entangled with the Big Dipper Star Array of Zhou Tian. Everywhere was filled with the twinkling of starlight and the erosion of evil energy. The two arrays were locked in a stalemate, and for a time, neither side could exert its power.

  Di Jiang no longer hesitated, carrying the Ding of Heaven and Earth, and was the first to charge out.

  Di Jun and others, because of being restrained by the Zhou Tian Star Big Array, could no longer hide, and were forced to make a hard collision with Emperor Jiang.

  "Let you know today, the Wu clan is not something you can afford to provoke." Emperor Jiang suddenly teleported and appeared behind Tai Yi. Tai Yi reacted and tried to dodge, but found that his body couldn't move at all, even the spiritual energy around him was sealed off. He was shocked and lost color instantly.

  "Die!" Emperor Jiang shouted loudly, and the Invincible Brick and Hongmeng's Heaven-measuring Ruler directly hit Taiyi's back of the head, but was blocked by the light screen of the Hunyuan Bell, making a loud "Dangdang" sound, but still sent Taiyi flying out, stunning him.

  "Taiyi!" Emperor Jun was greatly shocked and hurriedly flew over, fearing that Taiyi would get into trouble. He didn't expect the true strength of Emperor Jiang to be so powerful, even with the protection of the Hunyuan Bell, Taiyi couldn't withstand two blows. His heart was filled with surprise, still underestimating the power of the Wu tribe.

  "You still have the mood to care about others, don't you think your own situation is more dangerous?" Emperor Jiang turned his head to look at Emperor Jun, his eyes icy and abnormal.

  Taiyi has a chaotic clock to protect his body, and it's hard to break through for the time being. However, Di Jun is different, he took away the Hetu Luoshu as an array eye, and now he has no treasure to defend himself, making it much easier to deal with him.

  Jiang put his attention on himself, Emperor Jun secretly called out in distress. Unfortunately, Nüwa couldn't take action, otherwise the demon tribe wouldn't have been bullied like this. However, he seemed to have forgotten that it was his demon tribe that had provoked a large-scale conflict with the Wu tribe, so there's no way they could be bullied, everything is their own doing.

  Emperor Jiang walked towards him, Emperor Jun immediately became vigilant and alert to his surroundings. This Emperor Jiang seemed to have grasped some spatial law from somewhere, and applying it in battle was indeed troublesome. Even if they were facing each other head-on, there was still the danger of being ambushed at any moment. When fighting against him, one's divine sense had to be dispersed to observe the situation around them, so as to discover Emperor Jiang's trail in the first instance.

  Di Jiang walked step by step towards Di Jun, but he didn't attack immediately. He wanted to let Di Jun feel his own strength properly, the Shu tribe wasn't something that could be provoked casually by him now.

  "Sorcerer, hold your hand, this time we admit defeat."

  At this time, Fuxi flew over and saw that Emperor Jiang had defeated Emperor Jun and Taiyi in just one or two moves. He hurriedly came to stop him.

  Di Jiang stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Fuxi and said coldly: "Is it the same as last time? Can't beat him so admit defeat, feel like you can win again and come provoke?"

  "This time it was indeed our demon clan's fault, I hope you can let it go for the sake of Nüwa."

  "Are you threatening me in the name of Nüwa?!" Emperor Jiang's eyes grew even colder as he spoke.

  Feeling the oppressive aura of Di Jiang, Fu Xi broke out in a cold sweat. "Your Majesty has misunderstood, I didn't mean it that way."

  "Alright, I'll let it go this time for your sake, but the demon clan still needs to be taught a lesson."

  After finishing speaking, Emperor Jiang suddenly entered the Doutian Shen Sha Great Array. The Doutian Shen Sha Great Array emitted a terrifying aura, and instantly the evil energy surged into the sky, its power two or three times greater than before. The Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array could not withstand it and immediately collapsed. All 365 demon gods fell to one side, some unconscious, some vomiting blood, clearly seriously injured. The surrounding environment also returned to normal.

  Di Jiang's understanding of the Emperor's Formation Method has reached a state of great completion, so the power of the Heavenly Spirit Array will naturally be much stronger than the Zhou Tian Star Battle Array.

  Watching the sudden collapse of the Zhou Tian Star Array, Emperor Jun's eyes widened in shock. This was his most reliable thing at the moment, and it was broken in an instant. He felt extremely disheartened, and his confidence suffered a huge blow.

  After all this was done, the Tian Shen Jie Da Zhen also dispersed, and the twelve ancestor witches appeared one after another.

  "This formation is so fragile, our tribe's great formation has only just begun to exert half its power and it can't withstand it." Gonggong dispersed the killing aura on his body and said with great disappointment. He had thought that this great battle would be exciting, but unexpectedly it was all resolved by Big Brother alone, and among the eleven of them, they hadn't even made a move except to set up the formation.

  "Taoyi's head finally stopped spinning, and upon hearing Gonggong's words, he immediately wanted to explode in anger. However, recalling the scene where his primordial spirit was dazed by Emperor Jiang's single blow, he forcibly swallowed back the words he had wanted to say."

  The Emperor Jiang glanced at Emperor Jun lightly, "Don't come to provoke my Wu tribe again." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for a response and led the remaining ancestral witches out.

  The Great Power of the Demon Clan looked at the back of the Twelve Ancestors and fell into deep thought.

  At this time, the Nuwa who had opened up a dojo thirty-three days ago also withdrew her divine consciousness, and her face couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry. The Emperor Jiang was still as strong as ever, but could this really stop the two tribes from fighting? Nuwa opened her eyes, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but she immediately sneered at herself - if even she, a saint, couldn't stop it, how could Emperor Jiang?
