Chapter 88: All Parties Make Their Move, Western Continent Suffers Losses
Jieyin Shengren, although hastily setting up the lotus flower formation, was also hit by Nüwa Niangniang's red silk ball and suffered severe injuries while trying to dodge. However, Jieyin Shengren was still relatively satisfied with this outcome.
The lotus formation created by the Saint will form its own space, and within it, its disadvantages will be cancelled out, restoring the Saint to his original state. Even if he is severely injured, he will no longer be suppressed by Nüwa as before.
The Immortal Escort finished arranging the Grand Array and then transmitted a message to the Zhunti Immortal, asking him to take the lead. Afterwards, the Immortal Escort faced off against Nüwa in the Lotus Grand Array.
Nüwa's current state may not be as good as it was just now, the Wahuang realm is weakened due to the obstruction of the lotus flower array, and Nüwa's geographical advantage has been somewhat reduced. However, compared to the already injured Jiying Shengren, Nüwa still has the upper hand.
The Escort Saint, although said to be one level higher than the Nuwa Empress in terms of realm, is actually skilled at defense rather than offense. Moreover, without a powerful attacking tool in hand, the Escort Saint can only defend. The Escort Saint and the Nuwa Empress engaged in an intense battle together.
After receiving the transmission from the introducing saint, Zhunti saw that Nüwa was left with residual injuries from her master brother's great battle of refinement. He hurriedly headed towards the outside of the Nüwa Imperial Realm and in an instant, he arrived at his own Daoist temple. However, it was clear that Zhunti had come too late, as the Western Spiritual Mountain was no longer the same blessed and peaceful Daoist temple it once was.
At this time, the Ling Shan Daochang can be said to be in a state of utter devastation, with broken walls and rubble scattered everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that the Western Continent is barren and sparsely populated, with only tens of millions of living beings distributed around Ling Shan, it would have been even more dire, with corpses strewn all over the fields. Originally, due to the arrival of the two saints, Xiang Yu and Zhun Ti, who had brought some prosperity to the Western Continent, but now it's as if they had woken up from a dream, only to find that everything was gone.
It has been over a year since the Witch and Demon Alliance arrived in the Western Continent, and the Guiding Sage had exposed their plot. In that year, the Witch and Demon Alliance wreaked havoc on the Western Continent. Except for the Guiding Sage and the Accurate Sage who went to the Nüwa Palace, there were no other powerful beings in the Western Continent that the two tribes could take seriously. Thus, the Witch and Demon Alliance swept across the Western Continent with an unstoppable force, conquering all the major and minor powers.
However, it was not without encountering obstacles. Under the joint attack of several major forces such as Brahmanism, and given that Brahmanism is relatively far from the Western Spiritual Mountain, Brahmanism, under the leadership of several quasi-saints, did not suffer a significant blow. This was mainly because the relationship between Brahmanism and the Western religion had already turned into an opposing state.
Originally, Brahman and the saints of Jieyin and Zhunti were in an alliance, but as the two became saints, the Western teachings they believed in began to erode Brahman's power. This made the high-ranking members of Brahman furious, but they were no match for them, so they could only swallow their anger and secretly oppose the Western teachings.
Di Jun and Di Jiang only decided to attack Ling Mountain together after they knew this, but they encountered an obstacle. Gong Gong was originally on the mountain destroying Ling Mountain, which actually activated the protective array of the lotus flower set up in the spiritual field of Ling Mountain. Suddenly, a twelve-petaled golden lotus rose from the top of the mountain, and petals of golden lotus fell, suppressing the Lotus Array.
Emperor Jun, Taiyi and others, as well as the 12 Ancestors of the Wu Tribe, had known beforehand that the Sacred Daoist Altar was not easy to breach. Only now, upon seeing this grand array, did they truly realize its extraordinary nature. The power of this grand array is only slightly inferior to the Twelve Heaven-Sealing Great Arrays and the Zhou Tian Star-Dou Great Array of the Wu and Yao tribes, but what it can achieve in the hands of a Sage remains unknown.
The two high-level witch tribes looked at each other and walked to their respective sides. The eleventh ancestor witch, Xihe, and the newly promoted ancestor witch, Chiyou, set up the Twelve Heavenly Spirit Killing Array. Taiyi directly released 365 Daluo Golden Immortals within the space of the Hunyuan Bell, holding starry flags in hand. Then Emperor Jun shouted "Deploy the array!" and the 365 Daluo Golden Immortals began to deploy the array.
This time, Emperor Jun used the experience of hiding all the immortals with the Wàn Xiān Tú last time by East King Gong to directly place the 365 people in the Hún Dùn Zhōng, which is convenient and quick, and will not hinder Emperor Jun's retreat due to low cultivation. At this time, the Zhōu Tiān Xīng Dòu Great Array has been improved by Emperor Jun and others, and can form a giant attack, much stronger than the original Zhōu Tiān Xīng Dòu Great Array, and can truly compete with the Twelve Ancestral Witch's Twelve Heavenly God Killing Array summoned by Pángǔ's true body.
It's impossible for Wuji to break the array again using time and space laws within the Zhoutian Star Array, as Emperor Jun and others have learned from their previous experience that fortresses are often breached from within, so they have made improvements to the Zhoutian Star Array with great care.
Only to see the two tribes of witches and demons rising above their respective residences, each with a giant. In the witch tribe, it was naturally the true body of Pangu's heroic spirit that rose up, and with the integration of the twelve ancestral witches, it transformed into a real giant, full of vast energy. As for the demon tribe, it was an emperor, and upon closer inspection, one would find that this emperor looked very much like Di Jun. At this time, Di Jun and Tai Yi entered the eyes of the giant emperor to control his actions.
The two giants looked at each other, and both could see the will to fight in each other's eyes. One was the warlike spirit of the Wu tribe, fighting against heaven and earth, while the other was the imperial aura of Emperor Jun. However, they both understood that there were more important things to attend to at this moment.
The Emperor Giant wielded the Hunyuan Bell and smashed it towards the Lotus Formation, while Pangu Giant also wielded the Pangu Axe's virtual shadow and chopped towards the Lotus Formation. The two giants' current display of power was much stronger than Wuji's, but if they were to engage in a real battle to determine victory or defeat, it would be hard to say who would win.
Between the chaotic bell smashing into the lotus array, countless lotuses shattered, but immediately, countless new lotuses emerged to meet the attack of Pangu's axe shadow. Countless lotus shadows were chopped apart once again, but afterwards, countless more lotuses generated, filling in the gaps.
But Di Jun, Di Jiang and others who were constantly fighting knew that the second generation of lotus flowers was significantly slower than the first time. Both sides saw hope and attacked the lotus array more vigorously. The speed at which the lotus flowers in the lotus array were generated became slower with each passing moment.
Finally, on the sixth joint attack by the witch and the demon, Pangu's axe shadow managed to chop down the 12th-grade Golden Lotus that only had a small amount of lotus protection left.
At that moment, countless powerful eyes stared tightly at the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus Platform, which led the saint to achieve his goal, was suddenly split in two by Pangu's axe, dividing it into the Nine-Petal Golden Lotus Platform and the Three-Petal Golden Lotus Platform.
They split into two golden lotus platforms, flying towards the Wu Emperor as if they had completed their mission. However, halfway through, a sudden flash of blood light took away the third-grade golden lotus. Yu's divine consciousness clearly saw that it was a giant mosquito. After a brief thought, he realized that this was the reincarnation of the great master Mosquito Dao Ren. Yu rarely showed an excited expression, and his true body directly left Mount Shouyang, heading towards Mosquito Dao Ren.
When the twelve-product golden lotus shattered, the Introducer Sage who was fighting against Nüwa Niangniang at that time, due to the severe damage to the primordial spirit mark left in the twelve-product golden lotus, suddenly spat out a mouthful of heart blood. Adding to this, his divided spirit was once again struck by Nüwa Niangniang's red silk ball, and the Introducer Sage could only tragically spit out fresh blood once more.
The Immortal Escort had never been so enraged, but at this moment he was helpless against Nüwa Niangniang. He could only hope that Zhu Tian Saint would destroy the two tribes of witches and demons. His own task was to hold back Nüwa Niangniang and prevent her from appearing on the battlefield of witches and demons.
The Jade Emperor borrowed the power of the Nine-Petaled Golden Lotus to launch a full-scale defense, and at this moment, Nüwa saw the anger in the Jade Emperor's eyes and couldn't help but question whether her plan was too extreme. After all, both sides were indestructible beings, and at most, they would only make each other lose face. However, she herself would inevitably be resented and plotted against by the other side for countless eons to come. Nüwa's offensive momentum clearly slowed down somewhat.
Jieying Saint saw the momentum of Nüwa Niangniang slow down, and naturally he was willing to drag it out with Nüwa Niangniang. After all, he didn't have the ability to defeat Nüwa Niangniang at this time. The two sides were deadlocked in the Wa Huang realm.
After the two tribes of witches and goblins broke through the mountain protection array of Ling Mountain, they once again marched towards Ling Mountain with the goal of flattening it. At that time, all living beings inside Ling Mountain, including Maitreya Taoist, Medicine Master Taoist and other saintly disciples, were about to be annihilated. Just then, a large array, the Bodhi Array, was erected on top of Ling Mountain, protecting it once again.
A branch suddenly attacked the two giants, and although they hit the Bodhi array and opened a gap, that was all. However, after being attacked by the branch, the two giants were knocked to the ground, and their shadows stabilized only after a brief flicker.
Zhun Ti was shocked, not expecting that the first time he had caught Pan Gu's true body shadow with one hand during the Great War of Witchcraft and Taoism, but now his full-strength blow only knocked them to the ground. Although there was also a reason for the attack being scattered and having an effect on both of them, it could be imagined that the gap between himself and Hong Jun Dao Zu was huge.
Then Zhunti Sage became enraged: "You are not worthy of being human, you all deserve to die." Indeed, Zhunti Sage saw the current scene in the Western Continent and found that his master's efforts over several decades had been completely wasted. Zhunti Sage said: "Emperor Jun, Emperor Jiang, I am at odds with both your tribes of witches and demons."
Di Jun, Di Jiang and other high-ranking members of the two tribes of witches saw the appearance of Zhunti Saint's madness, heard his words, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. However, they soon calmed down. Through the recent exchange, although the giant Huang Zhe and Pangu were knocked down, it was because neither side had been on guard, and besides, they themselves were injured but not seriously. The two giants couldn't help but fill with fighting spirit towards Zhunti.
Di Jun said: "Zhun Ti, you pretend to be a saint, and deliberately plot against the two tribes of witches and demons. Even my child who doesn't understand things is not spared. All this is because of your own doing, you and Jie Yin."
Di Jiang said: "Not wrong, Zhun Ti, you actually dare to scheme against us witch tribe. Can our witch tribe let it go easily? All of this is what you asked for."
Zhun Ti Sheng Ren heard the hippopotamus of the two tribes of witches and became extremely angry, directly displaying his own Bodhi golden body, transforming into a giant to fight against them.
