The 32nd Witch War (Part 1)
Now that the millennium has passed, the ancestral witches have returned to their respective tribes and are actively preparing for war. Moreover, with two great witches of the witch tribe having been killed by the demon tribe, how can they tolerate such humiliation? Thus, the demon tribe in the vast wilderness suffered a disaster.
The Wu tribe, not cultivating the original spirit, so they never cared about the concept of cause and effect. In their lives, there was only constant fighting, struggling with heaven and earth, and battling against the demon tribe, reveling in the joy of revenge. The thousand-year-old promise of Daozu Hongjun had long made them choke with anger, but they didn't dare disobey. Now, with new hatred added to old grudges, how could they show mercy? Each clan launched a fierce attack, and anyone from the demon tribe was beheaded, not one was spared.
The Heavenly Court is also very large, but compared to the vast expanse of the Desolate Lands, its area is vastly different. As a result, only those famous demon saints, great demons, and demonic creatures with official duties are allowed to reside in the Heavenly Court. Those with low magical powers do not have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Court. In this way, although it can be said that the demon tribe controls the heavens and the witch tribe governs the earth, there are still countless demons in the Desolate Lands. These lower realm demons, after thousands of years of reproduction, become more and more numerous. For better survival, they form small groups, often with those related to the Heavenly Court being revered as leaders.
The Wu tribe slaughtered the Yao tribe in the vast wilderness, and it was inevitable that they would provoke these groups. The true masters of the Yao tribe with great magical powers were all cultivating in the Heavenly Court with the power of the stars, while those in the lower realm occasionally had a few with deep magical powers, but the teams dispatched by the Wu tribe often had some high-ranking witches as leaders. These high-ranking witches' magical powers were about the same as those of the Yao tribe's heavenly officials who managed the stars and constellations, so the Yao tribe in the lower realm was no match for them, and they were either killed or driven away without any suspense.
Later, many powerful demons from the Heavenly Court joined in, making it less smooth for the Witch tribe to attack. After several losses, the Great Witch officially started participating in the battle. With the addition of these Great Witches, the Heavenly Court's powerful demons began to falter. After each side had lost a few powerful demons and witches, both the Witch and Demon tribes knew that the warm-up was over, and the real war was about to begin.
The witch tribe first gathered the nine great ancestor witches, with hundreds of great witches, and as for the various tribes of witches, almost all were empty, with a total of tens of millions. After the witch tribe gathered, they rushed to the heavenly court from all directions, and wherever they passed, it was like a plague of locusts, killing every inch of grass that was demonic. And the human tribe, after receiving the message from Kunpeng, set up a defensive array and did not dare to come out and move around easily. The witch tribe also knew that the human tribe had Kunpeng's protection, but they wanted to provoke him at this time, and as for those who were accidentally injured while rushing, it was their own bad luck, and if they died, they would die in vain, no one would be willing to provoke the witch tribe that was on a roll.
Above the Heavenly Court, since Emperor Jun and Taiyi returned from meeting Nüwa, they have also been actively preparing for war. Emperor Jun opened up all the stars in the sky, letting the starlight flow into the Heavenly Court like it was free. This starlight is the purest spiritual energy, which the demon clan can directly absorb to enhance their magical powers. Normally, it's opened according to their duties, taking turns, but now the entire Heavenly Court is filled with this dense spiritual energy. Now, one day of cultivation is equivalent to a year's worth in the past. Moreover, Emperor Jun also ordered all the great demon saints to gather their troops, waiting for the start of the great war.
Di Jun learned in the Heavenly Court that the Wu tribe was coming to the Heavenly Court, so he took out the Demon- Summoning Flag. As soon as the flag moved, a thousand feet of demonic energy rushed into the sky, and the demons from all over the place gathered at the Heavenly Court. Some drove clouds to move forward, while others simply transformed back into their original shape and flew over. For a time, the strange and bizarre demons in the sky turned into pieces of dark cloud, covering up the whole sky.
After the gathering of the demon clan, there were as many as 50-60 million people. The Demon Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi ordered the Great Sage Fuxi to lead the way with 5 million demons, and the two led the remaining 10 great demon generals to lead the army to kill the witch tribe.
The great god of the demon clan, Fuxi, originally did not like to kill or fight. In the previous war between the witches and demons, he had tried to avoid it as much as possible. However, this time was different, as the Eastern Emperor himself was leading the charge, and it was a matter of life and death for the demon clan. Fuxi had no choice but to accept.
Fuxi's divination skills were unparalleled in the vast expanse of the universe, second only to those of a few saints. Before setting out on this campaign, he had performed a divination ritual for himself, but the results showed that fortune and misfortune were evenly matched, with a glimmer of hope amidst great danger, and everything else was shrouded in uncertainty.
Just as Fuxi was pondering this, his sister, the saintly Nüwa, sent him a nine-turn golden elixir through a young boy. This elixir had been bestowed upon her by the great saint Taishang Laojun. Fuxi took the elixir and swallowed it, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. He thought to himself, "With my sister Nüwa watching over me, I should be able to turn misfortune into good fortune, and everything will go smoothly." And so he put his mind at ease.
The great war of the witch, with such a grand scale, is actually the first time since the Honghuang era. The various saints will not miss watching the good show, but each one in the palace displays the water boundary method, letting the people under their door also observe and improve their Taoist heart and environment.
Kunpeng is now too lazy to care, only bringing Wu Dao and Chang'e with him to wander in the vast wilderness, guarding the human tribe. The people of the human tribe see that this time, the Holy Father has appeared for the first time since the battle at Mount Buzhou, with two great disciples standing by his side. How can they not know that the human tribe will have a great disaster again? Therefore, everyone burns incense and worships at home to let Kunpeng protect the people and safely pass through this calamity. The behavior of the human tribe has added many merits to Kunpeng and others for nothing.
The Wu tribe is now on the offensive, with a majestic momentum. The two Youzu, Emperor Jun and Taiyi, feel that with the 'Zhoutian Star Great Array' guarding them, the Heavenly Court is naturally invincible. They are arrogant and overbearing. Suddenly, Emperor Jun shouted loudly: "You little brats of the Wu tribe, how dare you attack the Heavenly Court? If you know what's good for you, surrender quickly and submit to me! Otherwise, I will definitely kill you all, leaving no corpses or bones behind!"
The ancestor's temper was violent and impulsive, how could he tolerate Emperor Jun's provocative words? He only heard Emperor Jiang's angry voice say: "Emperor Jun, you little boy, if you want to fight, then fight, why talk so much nonsense? Today I will definitely send you to reunite with Changxi and those nine beasts."
One does not hit the face when hitting someone, nor does one curse a person's ancestors. The death of Changxi and Jiuyin Wu Taizi has always been a pain in the heart of Emperor Jun. After hearing Emperor Jiang's words, Emperor Jun was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices, and Donghuang Taiyi beside him was also filled with rage.
The Emperor Jun said with a stern voice: "You are seeking death yourselves, and it is not unjust for me to do so!" With that, he waved his hand, ordering the vanguard Fuxi to go forward and attack the enemy's front line.
Fuxi took out his life-protecting treasure, the Fuxi qin, and began to play it in front of the two million-strong army. The crowd was stunned, unable to understand Fuxi's actions. But as soon as the music started, the demonic tribe on one side felt a surge of energy, their golden armor and iron horses radiating an aura that seemed to swallow up the entire world. On the other hand, the witches felt as if they were basking in the warmth of spring, their hearts filled with joy and contentment. Fuxi himself was like a celestial being, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his very presence merging with the vast expanse of the universe, creating an atmosphere that was truly breathtaking.
The ancestors of the witch did not understand the elegance, only Fuxi was played with, and the two-meter-high monk couldn't touch his head. They all thought it was just a fight, why make it so complicated? But when they saw the witches behind them, their will to fight slowly dissipated. The ancestors of the witch secretly thought that things were not going well, and if this continued, they would lose before the battle even started. At this point, the ancestors of the witch let out a long whistle in unison, and the whistling sound gathered into a long dragon. That long dragon hovered in mid-air, baring its teeth and claws, and charged straight at Fuxi!
Fuxi smiled calmly, his two hands slapped the Fuxi zither, and the sound stopped abruptly. Then Fuxi's ten fingers quickly plucked again, and a burst of fierce and mournful sounds came out, which also gathered into lines, straight towards the long dragon coiled in the air.
The sound waves quickly entwined the long dragon, which seemed to be blocked and paused for a moment, but soon broke free and charged towards Fuxi. Fuxi was immediately knocked back, his guqin flying out of his hands, and he retreated hundreds of feet before stopping, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Two strings on the guqin were also broken, and he had suffered serious injuries. Although Fuxi's musical skills were powerful, two fists could not contend with four hands, let alone the combined forces of the nine great ancestral witches.
Fuxi was defeated but still glorious, both the Wu and Yao tribes were in an uproar. The Wu tribe celebrated their ancestor's victory, while the Yao tribe cursed their ancestor for being despicable, nine out of ten people scolded him!
The Demon Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi waved their hands to let the demons listen, each holding the "River Map" and "Luo Book", one holding the "Hunyuan Bell". They stepped forward step by step, and with each step, the Hunyuan Bell rang out with a ancient and mellow bell sound. The sounds were endless, one after another, and the millions of witches only felt that the bell sound was as if it was striking their hearts, making them feel suffocated and unbearable, as if their hearts were about to burst!
"Fine, Emperor Jun, you're too arrogant!" Emperor Jiang said with a snarl. "Are we supposed to be afraid of you?" As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jiang flashed forward and pounced. When Emperor Jiang was at full speed, he could tear through space and instantly move next to someone else. Seeing Emperor Jiang take action, Emperor Jun didn't show any weakness either, drawing his sword to meet him. The two sides clashed back and forth, fighting in one place.
The sword in Emperor Jun's hand was not an ordinary one. It was forged by Emperor Jun to deal with the Wu tribe, using the essence of the stars as its body and infusing it with the pure energy of the nine heavens. The Nine Heavens Weak Water used to temper it was incredibly heavy, and the Wu tribe was born from turbid air and the primordial blood of Pangu, so naturally, it could break through their physical bodies. Of course, it also depends on the user's skills. Just like water can extinguish fire, but if there is not enough water, it will be evaporated by the fire instead.
Di Jun's magical powers were originally above the Emperor Jiang, and he also had a sharp treasure sword. After hundreds of rounds, he took advantage of the Emperor Jiang's carelessness and drew a mouthful on his shoulder. The Emperor Jiang had never suffered such a loss before, so he let out a loud roar and revealed his true form, which was over 1,000 feet tall. He was a divine bird with the appearance of a yellow sack, red like cinnabar fire, with six legs and four wings, but no face. Di Jun also transformed into a magical body, becoming roughly the same size as the Emperor Jiang, and came to meet him with his sword in hand.
After transforming, Di Jiang displayed his extraordinary speed, appearing in front of and behind Di Jun in an instant, turning into a red shadow that darted around him. He also had six sharp claws that could split mountains and rocks. However, Di Jun was not specialized in physical training, so after his body grew larger, his agility decreased significantly. As a result, he was quickly overpowered by Di Jiang and suppressed. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Di Jun immediately summoned the "River Chart" and "Luo Book" to protect himself, and only then could he fight evenly with Di Jiang.
