Chapter 96

"Let's stop and make peace, fellow Daoists."

A clear and calm voice echoed, and Zhenyuanzi appeared before the Ancestor of the Di River, the Earth Book flying up, a layer of earth-yellow light enveloping the Ancestor, the light shimmering. Even when the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth fell, it only wobbled, showing no signs of breaking.

"Why must you do this, Brother Zhenyuan?"

Nüwa's gaze was unfriendly as she looked at Zhenyuanzi, speaking calmly.

"I have no choice."

Zhenyuanzi faced the situation calmly. Since he had already taken action, there was no need to hold back, even if the other party was a Sage of the Heavens. He was not the least bit intimidated.

Nüwa coldly snorted upon hearing this, and a precious scroll flew out, empowered by the Heavenly Dao, attempting to envelop Zhenyuanzi.

But Zhenyuanzi remained unperturbed. Suddenly, a mighty force appeared around him, and faintly, an image of mountains and rivers emerged, boundless and magnificent.

The Ancestor of Earth Immortals, the power of the earth!

The precious scroll rustled, but it was resisted by the power of the earth, unable to approach Zhenyuanzi at all.

"Amitabha..."

Daoist Jiexi recited softly, his eyes flashing as he sat on a golden lotus, raising his hand heavily. Instantly, a brilliant golden light streaked out, dazzling the sky, striking with such intensity that it was blinding.

"Poof!" The golden light, sharp and incomparable, pierced through the defensive light of the Earth Book and instantly entered the Ancestor's body.

Instantly, golden light burst from the Ancestor's body, filled with the power of annihilation.

The Ancestor's expression changed, looking at Daoist Jiexi with some apprehension, almost falling over.

But at this moment, several figures appeared beside the Ancestor, the dozen or so great adepts, each with boundless magical power and formidable auras, protecting the Ancestor.

"Friend Di Jiang, please return to the Netherworld."

One of the great adepts said calmly to the Ancestor.

The other great adepts, though they had all taken action, had solemn expressions, showing no signs of good mood.

Di Jiang looked around, especially at the two jade hands that were about to disintegrate, his eyes narrowing.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoists. We shall meet again."

The Ancestor's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but he still spoke.

As he turned to leave, his figure seemed somewhat scattered.

"Do you think you can leave? Stay here."

In the distance, the always observant Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi saw this scene and a cold smile appeared on his lips, his killing intent subtly rising. The Yellow Jade Banner flew up, its light flowing continuously, enveloping the jade hands that were already weakening.

Then, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he moved horizontally, blocking the Ancestor's path. The chaotic banner's aura was fierce, causing the void to collapse, only the divine light and magical power of the present adepts piercing the heavens and earth.

Thus, the Ancestor's ethereal figure reappeared, his expression somewhat grim.

"Boom!" A chaotic sword qi slashed, causing the Ancestor to change color, quickly dodging.

But perhaps due to his severe injuries, or the overwhelming pressure of the chaotic sword qi, the Ancestor's figure was somewhat slow. The chaotic sword qi grazed his shoulder, directly erasing most of the flesh on his arm, exposing white bones.

"Hisss~" Divine light swirled, the Ancestor's gaze turned icy, a murderous aura flashing in his eyes: "You deserve to die."

With a swift movement, the Ancestor's figure was extremely fast, boundless divine power rolling, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Instantly, he appeared before Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, quickly waving his hand, and with a slap, struck Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's face.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to come to a standstill, and the other great adepts were somewhat stunned, finding it unbelievable, a slap to the face?

Even if they were mortal enemies, could they not show such disrespect?

He was one of the Three Pure Ones, a Sage of the Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi!

Zhenyuanzi's hand paused, his expression darkening, somewhat angry.

The distant Supreme Sage Taishang and Grand Master Tongtian's brows furrowed, a cold light flashing, a hint of killing intent emerging.

"Boom!"

But then, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi suddenly turned into a mass of clear qi, like a mist, with light flowing continuously, exuding an infinite aura of majesty.

With a bang, the clear qi instantly disappeared, and in the distance, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi emerged with a dark expression, his killing intent shaking the heavens and earth, causing them to rumble continuously.

"Boom!!!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi said nothing, his magical power raging boundlessly, chaotic sword qi surging out like an ocean, engulfing the Ancestor.

But at this moment, the two jade hands suddenly trembled, their light brightening significantly, shaking off the Yellow Jade Banner and the Four Sages Sword Formation. In a flash, they appeared beside the Ancestor, their fingers moving to block the chaotic sword qi, protecting the Ancestor.

But despite this, the jade hands seemed to have exhausted their last bit of power, and with a boom, they disintegrated into points of light.

"Brother, come back." A somewhat weary voice slowly sounded.

Outside the Netherworld, a towering figure's two palms withdrew from the void, his gaze like the sun and moon, looking at the earth, revealing a hint of worry.

But then, the entire Netherworld rumbled and shook, the beings within feeling as if the sky was about to collapse, their hearts trembling, continuously worshiping the towering figure.

"Alas..." A sigh, the figure flickered and slowly dissipated...

In the high sky, the Ancestor was greatly alarmed, once again feeling the sensation of impending doom. When was the last time? It was during the great battle with the Demon Emperor Taiyi, when he was almost reduced to a head.

"Ha ha, is it really not my time anymore?"

The Ancestor laughed lightly, but with a touch of sorrow. Once upon a time, he, Di Jiang, the Ancestor of the Witches, the leader of the Witch Clan, the ruler of the earth, looked down on the Three Pure Ones and other Sages, considering them beneath him. But now?

"Whoosh!" The Taiji Diagram flew, a golden bridge spanning the heavens and earth, its light boundless, pinning the Ancestor under the bridge.

"Di Jiang, today is the day of your downfall!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi walked over coldly, chaotic sword qi instantly issuing, slicing off one of the Ancestor's arms.

The dozen or so great adepts had somewhat dark and uncertain expressions, looking at the Ancestor's imminent downfall, their gazes turning to Zhenyuanzi.

At this moment, Zhenyuanzi had already stopped fighting with Nüwa, as there was no major cause and effect between them, so they naturally stopped.

However, Nüwa's face was fierce, one hand holding the precious cauldron, watching Zhenyuanzi and the others guardedly.

Zhenyuanzi's expression was uncertain, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's overwhelming killing intent making him somewhat uneasy, his thoughts racing, weighing the pros and cons.

"Do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Seeing the Ancestor's invincible physical body cracking under the chaotic sword qi, Zhenyuanzi sighed, the Earth Book suddenly shooting out, a vast earth-yellow light appearing, the image of mountains and rivers emerging, forcefully shaking the golden bridge, causing it to wobble several times.

"Boom!" Instantly, the Ancestor's divine power erupted, and with a roar, he broke free from under the golden bridge.

Nüwa's brows furrowed, her face showing anger, reacting and the precious cauldron booming, flying toward Zhenyuanzi.

But at this moment, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." several figures appeared before Nüwa, each saying, "Madam, we must offend."

Speaking, they unleashed their magical power, their great abilities or divine treasures blocking the path of the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth.

Nüwa's expression was unfriendly, looking at them and saying coldly, "Fellow Daoists, must it come to this?"

The expressions of the several figures were relatively calm, their hands not slackening, one of them saying somewhat bitterly, "Please forgive us, Madam. We have no choice."

"Fellow Daoists are overthinking it. Why must it come to this?"

Nüwa said this, her expression softening, retracting the precious cauldron.

The five figures were all great adepts with boundless magical power and great abilities. If she did not have the power of the Heavenly Dao, they would not have five people blocking her, treating her so seriously.

The five people remained unperturbed, having made their decision, there was no possibility of backing down. Each of them had a steadfast Dao heart, not easily swayed.

"Zhenyuanzi, if you return now, I will pretend nothing happened, how about it?"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi shot out a chaotic sword qi, causing the Earth Book to wobble and lose much of its light, looking at Zhenyuanzi with an icy expression.

"Friend Yuanshi, there is no need to say more."

Zhenyuanzi replied calmly.

"Good, very good!"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's killing intent flashed, turning and the chaotic banner slashing toward the Ancestor, blocking his escape route.

Seeing this, Zhenyuanzi pointed at the Earth Book, just about to aid the Ancestor, when a golden bridge shot through the air, its light dazzling, blocking the Earth Book.

Supreme Sage Taishang walked over, looking at Zhenyuanzi and smiling lightly, "Friend, I am here. Please do not move lightly."

Zhenyuanzi's expression paused, stopping his steps, clearly wary of Supreme Sage Taishang.

However, several figures flashed out, and one by one, the great adepts took action, trying to block Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.

But a golden lotus appeared before them, and Daoist Jiexi and Daoist Zhunti appeared together, empowered by the Heavenly Dao, causing the great adepts to stop, their expressions turning bitter.

In the distance, Grand Master Tongtian and Lord Mihé were evenly matched, both with the strongest sword qi. Without the Four Sages Sword Formation, Grand Master Tongtian was fighting increasingly fiercely with Lord Mihé, who possessed two supreme killing treasures.

However, it looked more and more like a friendly exchange.

"Little Yuanshi, do you think you can make me fall? You are not qualified!"

The Ancestor, blocked by Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, turned around, his killing intent surging, saying disdainfully, "To me, you are nothing but a minor troublemaker."

"Is that so?"

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's expression was calm, looking at the Ancestor, chaotic sword qi slashing out, along with the jade ruyi and the Yellow Jade Banner, all striking the Ancestor...

"But today, I am enough to kill you..."

The Venerable said coldly, chaotic sword qi booming, engulfing the Ancestor, causing the heavens and earth to shake continuously...
