Chapter Eighty: A Single Hair Moves the Whole Body

  The numerous demons and gods saw that Xing Tian had broken through to the quasi-saint level, and their faces suddenly turned ugly. Bai Ze made a swift decision, and the eight of them continued to entangle Xing Tian, while at the same time, with a single order, hundreds of millions of demon soldiers charged over, instantly filling the air with dark clouds and demonic energy. All sorts of demons and monsters attacked, but Bai Ze saw that he couldn't win in a one-on-one battle, so he wanted to rely on his numerical advantage to crush the Wu tribe's army in one fell swoop. At that time, hundreds of millions of demon soldiers would surround Xing Tian, and even with his quasi-saint cultivation, he would still be on the verge of death.

  Jiufeng saw the demonic soldiers rushing over, knowing that a great battle was inevitable. Without hesitation, he gave an order and 50 million Wu tribe members also charged forward. However, their footsteps were neat and tidy, as if they were secretly following some mysterious rhythm.

  Bai Ze suddenly jumped out of the war circle, seeing that the formation of the Wu tribe was tight and had a subtle momentum to hook up with the heavens and the earth. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong, as if he thought of something in his mind.

  At this time, Jiufeng suddenly shouted loudly, "Budu Tian Shen Sha Bing Zhen."

  The people of the Wu tribe suddenly changed their positions, dividing into twelve branches, each connected by a thread of breath. It seemed to have a hint of the Twelve Heavenly Spirit Killing Array. Bai Ze was shocked and didn't expect the Wu tribe to have this move, transforming the Twelve Heavenly Spirit Killing Array into the Twelve Heavenly Spirit Soldier Array for battlefield slaughter. This greatly increased their combat power, making him regret not thinking of it earlier. Otherwise, he would have suggested to the Demon Emperor to also derive a soldier array from the Zhou Tian Star Battle Array, and they wouldn't be at a disadvantage this time.

  Before Bai Ze could think much, the two armies had already clashed together. Suddenly, a loud killing cry erupted, causing heaven and earth to change color and ghosts and gods to tremble with fear. As soon as they came into contact, countless souls and spirits flew towards the underworld. The bloody aura spread out, and the killing energy and murderous energy surged towards the sky. The battlefield was like a purgatory on earth.

  Whether it was Jiufeng Xingtian or the eight great demon generals, they all had eyes that were bloodshot from watching and smelling the bloody atmosphere of the battlefield. In their minds, there was only one thought: to slaughter all the enemies! Suddenly, they all charged into the battlefield, each one like a demonic god of bloodlust.

  The war had been going on for several months, and both the witch and demon tribes had suffered countless casualties. What surprised Bai Ze was that the 5,000-strong witch army still had many people fighting, and hadn't been easily defeated as he had expected. His heart sank, thinking that the witches' combat power was too strong, and even if they could annihilate the witches in one go, the demon tribe would still be doomed to decline. However, after a moment's thought, he continued to fight, and at this point, the atmosphere on the battlefield was frantic. It was already difficult for Bai Ze to think clearly about this issue, as everyone else seemed like demons from hell, including Xing Tian and Jiufeng, who had followed Emperor Jiang in secret training for countless years.

  At this time, the great witch of other tribes brought reinforcements and rushed to the scene. As soon as they saw this situation, they were infected with the atmosphere of the battlefield. The witches were originally fond of fighting, how could they hold back? One by one, they transformed into demons and plunged into the demon army, and the two armies clashed again, intensifying the battle once more.

  In the underworld, a large number of souls who needed to reincarnate suddenly arrived, and the 10 million yin spirits were almost overwhelmed. However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that many of the true spirits were actually members of the Wu tribe. After inquiring further, they learned that the Wu tribe was in danger, and one by one, the yin spirits became enraged. They threw down their posts and prepared to exit the cycle of reincarnation, vowing to tear into pieces anyone who dared to harm them.

  Houtu sat in the Wheel of Rebirth Hall, sensing countless souls and spirits entering the underworld. Her eyes flashed with sadness, despite Emperor Jiang's prior warning, she couldn't control her sorrowful emotions. She repeatedly asked herself why such cruel things had to happen. Suddenly, she discovered that the yin spirits in the underworld were in turmoil, even the Five Ghost Emperors of the Ten Halls of Yanluo were about to emerge from the Wheel of Rebirth. Without hesitation, she suppressed her sorrow and blocked the entrance of the Wheel of Rebirth.

  "Houtu Zu Wu!"

  Millions of Yin spirits appeared after Hou Tu, all kneeling down one by one, with a sorrowful expression. This cry was filled with sobs, thinking that our Wu tribe was so peaceful, why did we still suffer such disasters? We were in the cycle of reincarnation, working hard and selflessly, and had countless merits, why did outsiders still have to die and be injured? The more I thought about it, the more sorrowful my heart became. Except for shouting "Hou Tu Zu Wu" again, I couldn't say anything else. With tears in my eyes, I looked at Hou Tu, hoping that this god in my heart could give me an answer.

  Looking at the expressions of everyone, Hou Tu's heart was also in extreme pain, and she couldn't help but shed tears, saying: "If you all leave, who will arrange for the deceased tribespeople to reincarnate? The current situation is all because of my incompetence as the Holy Person of the Wu Tribe, being unable to protect our people. Hou Tu feels ashamed towards her tribe, ashamed towards everyone." After speaking, Hou Tu knelt down with bent knees.

  A sudden turn of events, a million ghosts kowtowed to Hou Tu, crying out loud and begging Hou Tu to get up.

  "Houtu Zu Wu, you can't be like this, quickly get up, we can't escape the cycle of reincarnation, go back and arrange for our clansmen to transmigrate." As the first of the Ten Halls of Yanluo, Chiyou evaded Houtu's kneeling with a look of terror, then frantically kowtowed and shouted. Following this, all the yin spirits also said so.

  At this time, Wu Fang Gui Di rushed over and pulled up Hou Tu who was kneeling on the ground. Tian Wu, who was older, shouted loudly: "Sister, as a holy person of our witch tribe, how can you be like this."

  Houtu looked at Tianwu, tears streaming down her face. "Brother, Houtu couldn't protect our people, I'm ashamed."

  Tian Wu and the others were also red-eyed, with tears rolling, as the ancestral witches, they had nothing to do, now seeing Hou Tu say this, their hearts were also in agony, sad at the same time, also angry, Tian Wu's face turned sideways, angrily saying: "Big brother told us to be content with reincarnation, now the outsiders are dead and injured, how can we achieve that? Hou Tu's words, will they let us few siblings out of reincarnation?"

  At this time, Hou Tu's heart was filled with sorrow and pain. She felt the true spirits of the Wu tribe growing stronger, and she could no longer bear it. With a surge of energy, she forced out a drop of her essence blood, transforming it into a separate entity that took control of the Huangquan Flag. This entity led all the Wu tribe members whose powers surpassed those of Taiyi Xuanxian into the Youming Book. Then, with an unyielding gaze, Hou Tu looked at Tianwu: "Fine! No matter what happens next, our ancestors' spirits will not rest easy if we do not fight alongside our people. I swear to battle together with my tribe!"

  Tian Wu and the others, seeing Hou Tu's agreement, also showed a strong desire for battle in their eyes. Without saying much more, they instructed a group of yin spirits to take good care of arranging the reincarnation of their clansmen. Then, they all followed Hou Tu out of the cycle of reincarnation. The six ancestors of the Wu tribe naturally didn't move slowly and immediately arrived above the Blood Sea. Just as they were about to continue onward, they suddenly discovered a fierce and intense pressure coming from in front of them. An ordinary old Daoist appeared before them, causing the six people to be greatly shocked.

  "Hong Jun, are you here to stop us this time?" Tian Wu looked at the old Taoist in front of him and said coldly.

  Hong Jun's expression was calm and he said, "The Later Earth Sage and the Five Directional Ghost Emperor should be on duty in the cycle of reincarnation and cannot come out."

  Hong Jun's tone was calm and flat, but it was full of unyielding intent. Tian Wu and the others suddenly became furious.

  Houtu saw the momentum of Hongyuan and knew it was difficult to end well. The witch tribe's heart was together, and she couldn't help but say coldly: "You are the first saint of the heavenly way, I am the first saint of the earthly way, Houtu dares to challenge once, wanting to ask the ancestor of the way for a few moves."

  Hong Jun looked at Hou Tu with an unchanged calm expression and said calmly: "As you wish."

  Houtu didn't say anything else, and directly transformed into his second form. In an instant, he turned into a human with a snake tail, with seven hands behind him and two in front of him. The power of the earth element flowed through his body as he immediately attacked Hongjun.

  On the side, Tian Wu, Qiang Liang, Xi Zi, Xuan Ming, and She Bi Shi also joined forces. The five of them had obtained the Ghost Emperor position, with imperial purple energy and boundless merit added to their bodies. Their strength had long reached the quasi-saint peak, and for a time, their momentum was overwhelming, not weak at all.

  Five people transformed into the Five Elements Great Array, and with one move, Hong Jun and Hou Tu were submerged within it. As soon as this array was released, Hong Jun furrowed his brow, and his aura seemed to be suppressed somewhat. On the other hand, when looking at Hou Tu, her momentum seemed to have risen slightly.

  In the Pangu Hall, Liantai Daoist sensed the great war outside and his heart was also in extreme pain. Although he had arranged for the reincarnation of his clansmen, when he truly felt the disappearance of their auras, he still deeply blamed himself. Without hesitation, he flew out of the Pangu Hall immediately.

  But at this moment, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Liantai Dao people, blocking the way.

  "Nüwa." Lian Tai Dao Ren said calmly.

  "The Emperor of Sorcery is going to slaughter the witches of my clan? I must ask if this Saint of the Witch Clan agrees or not." Nüwa looked at Liantai Dao Ren and said coldly.
