Chapter 60: Heaven for Demon Tribe, Earth for Wu Tribe
Within the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation, Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery were frantically discussing counterplans against the Demon Tribe as they operated their Formation. Zhurong angrily said, "Brother, I really didn’t think the Demon Tribe can have such powerful formation against us. It really pisses me off."
Seeing many soildiers in Wu Tribe died during the fight, Houtu worriedly said, "Brother, our formation may be as powerful as their Cosmic Stars Formation, but our soildiers can’t survive the impact from the clash of two formations. Please figure out a new way!"
Torch Dragon also chimed in. "Brother, if we continue fighting them this way, we’ll also be eventually badly wounded. How about using our most fatal attack against them?" Emperor Jiang hesitated for a short while before replying, "My younger brother, we still haven’t mastered this formation well. I’m afraid we can’t afford to use that final attack with our cultivation level."
Seeing Emperor Jiang’s hesitation, Houtu said, "Brother, time and tide wait for no man. If we keep fighting this way, many more of our soldiers will lose their lives!" She was willing to wage the fatal attack despite knowing she would be badly hurt. That was because she cared for her clan.
Emperor Jiang stiffened his upper lip and agreed with her. "Well, let’s use all our energy to change our formation for the fatal attack. There won’t be a second chance to do it again. We must succeed." When Emperor Jiang was done speaking, the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation started changing immediately.
Endless Evil Spirit gradually gathered at the center of the tactical formation and the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery’ powers began merging into one. From the mass of Evil Spirits, a tall and muscular man emerged. His eyes closed, but his expression was enough to stock the entire Untainted Land.
That was impossible... the present could not believe what they were seeing, especially the Three Pure Ones. The muscular man shocked and frightened them three, for it was him who created them. They did not think the Wu Tribe’s tactical formation was strong enough to summon him. They finally knew why their Original Spirit were reacting earlier.
The tall, muscular man opened his eyes. The powerful Air around him soared, causing the Cosmic Stars Formation to quiver. That man then spoke in a low voice. "Axe... " endless Evil Spirits gathered and formed a seemingly illusory black axe. It seemed like the axe was ready to feed itself with fresh blood and destroy everything.
When that man shouted for his axe, Taiyi’s Bell of Chaos, Laozi’s Map of Taichi, and Honoured Lord of the Origin’s Pan Gu Banner all tried to fly and submerge to become a part of his black axe. They suppressed their three treasures from leaving, otherwise that black axe would be even more powerful.
All living beings of Untainted Land could not believe that Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery managed to call the Real Entity of Pangu with their formation. Pangu, the creator of Untainted Land, was well-known across the world. It was meaningless to describe the extent of his power for it was a known fact. It seemed doomsday had come for the Demon Tribe.
Emperor Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and the other Sacred Demons within the Cosmic Stars Formation were all dumbstruck. Their faces were pale with fright. For a moment, it seemed like their formation was about to break due to the distraction the Real Entity of Pangu posed.
Emperor Jun was the first to notice their formation was about to break. Using his Power of Infinity, he hastily yelled, "Hurry up and inject your energy into the formation. It’s our last chance!" Emperor Jun’s loud voice soon woke up the armies of Demon Tribe. They clearly understood they would die very soon without the formation.
With enough new energy injected into it, the Cosmic Stars Formation began operating as usual again. Emperor Jun did not want Real Entity of Pangu to keep gathering energy as it would be much harder for them to defend as time went by. He yelled, "Cosmic Stars, kill!"
Countless stars gathered in the sky and charged at the Real Entity of Pangu like a comet. The entity began moving and yelling, the axe in his hand filled up with Evil Spirits. "Axe, chop!"
The axe lashed a blow of sharp light, rushing to chop the Cosmic Stars Formation. But the light from the axe was constantly weakened due to the power of countless stars gathering in the formation.
"Boom!" That axe finally hit the Cosmic Stars Formation that had seemed pretty tough before, breaking it into pieces. Billions of soldiers in the Demon Tribe under that formation instantly died. Those lucky enough to avoid death were badly wounded, especially Emperor Jun and Taiyi.
As the Cosmic Stars Formation broke into pieces, the Real Entity of Pangu also disappeared. Those Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery who summoned and became a part of the entity fell from above. Though they were also badly hurt, they were pretty happy as Pangu’s attack had heavily destroyed the whole Demon Tribe. Their Wu Tribe was totally prevailed over them now.
Noticing that many main figures in the Demon Tribe were also badly hurt, Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery ordered, "Sons of the Wu Tribe, try your best to kill as many of our enemies as possible. Today we’ll chase the whole Demon Tribe out of Untainted Land. Kill!" Despite their wounds, Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery still led tens of billions soldiers to kill what remained of the Demon Tribe.
On the other side, everyone in the Demon Tribe gradually became afraid when they saw countless Wu Tribe soldiers rushing at them. Emperor Jun and Taiyi were glaring at Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery, for they could do nothing to stop the Wu Tribe onslaught and protect their own soldiers.
Almighties in Untainted Land were unwilling to see the Demon Tribe wiped out. If Wu Tribe become the most powerful tribe, they would all be forced to obey them unconditionally, whether they supported Wu Tribe or not.
Right at this time, a strong supernatural power descended and separated the two tribes apart. The Wu Tribe troops were soon stopped by that power. A voice yelled, "Stop!"
It was... Ancestor Hongjun. Both Sorcerer and Demon tribes were caught off guard by his intervention. The Demon Tribe was pretty happy to see him, while Wu Tribe did not welcome him, for they did not want to let go of their only chance to destroy the Demon Tribe. Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery then asked, "Ancestor Hongjun, this isn’t fair to us. It was they, the Demon Tribe, who stirred up this war. They need to pay for their deeds!"
Hongjun glanced at Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery and peacefully said, "It’s an accident for the Cultivation Tribulation to happen today. It’s not time for it yet, thus both tribes should restrain yourselves. From now on, the Demon Tribe will govern the Heaven and the Wu Tribe will govern the Earth. You two tribes aren’t allowed to fight each other in tens of thousands years. Whoever breaks the rule will be punished."
With a wave of his sleeve, Hongjun sent the remaining ones in the Demon Tribe back to their Heavenly Court without asking for the Wu Tribe’s advice. He himself also disappeared. Though this was not the outcome Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery desired, there was nothing to do except return to their Hall of Pangu to recover.
On the other hand, this outcome satisfied the Three Pure Ones, Goddess Nvywa, Jieyin, and Zhunti. They would certainly become the next killing targets of the Wu Tribe if the Demon Tribe was destroyed.
Minghe thought Hongjun had just lied to them. If the Demon Tribe was wiped out, the Cultivation Tribulation he mentioned would be gone forever. Therefore, Minghe considered Hongjun’s real aim was to balance the power of the two tribes to offer the Three Pure Ones, Goddess Nvywa, Jieyin, and Zhunti opportunities to become Sages.
Minghe did not continue thinking about Hongjun’s purpose. What he wanted to do most was to return to Blood Sea to further study the Real Entity of Pangu. After seeing the real thing earlier, he wanted to check if his way of cultivating Rakshasa was correct as soon as possible. That was his current top priority.
