177: Lich War Begins

Due to Dijun's choice to avoid battle, the Wu and Yao Races missed this encounter.

The first great war between the Wu and Yao was thus called off.

But more calamity baleful qi was suppressed beneath this calm.

When the day of eruption arrived, it would be like a torrent, unstoppable.

In this atmosphere of tension and oppression within the Primordial World, nearly another kalpas passed.

During this time, the Wu race had been extremely arrogant.

There was only one thing they did,

Eat Yao, eat Yao, and eat more Yao... On the Primordial Land, many groups calling themselves the Yao Race were hunted until they fled in all directions.

Constant concessions did not bring understanding from the Wu race; instead, they intensified their slaughter of the Yao Race.

This left the high-ranking members of the Yao Race with a surge of pent-up anger.

But Dijun did not just wait for death; instead, he continuously refined the combat power of the Yao Race at all levels, drilling the army and preparing for war, waiting for the right moment.

Finally, after sensing that the Starlight of the Firmament could reach a higher level, Dijun believed the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

Thus, he led his army to attack without hesitation.

A host of Yao Saints and Demon Soldiers appeared abruptly, just like during the previous battle with the Immortal Court.

The emergence of the Yao Race drew the attention of everyone in the Primordial World.

Last time, East Duke's Immortal Court had no time to respond to the overwhelming pressure of the Demon Soldiers filling the sky.

This time, it was the same for the Wu race.

The Ancestral Witches were still scattered in various places killing Yao; at this moment, the Wu race's headquarters was empty, with only Di Jiang and Hou Tu stationed there.

Facing the incoming swarm of Demon Soldiers and the flickering Starlight of the Firmament, Di Jiang was not afraid.

"Little sister, notify the others to hurry back."

"I'll go meet this Yao Race first."

After saying that, Di Jiang directly manifested his Ancestral Witch True Body, a giant standing between heaven and earth.

With a casual wave, he scattered the ranks of the Demon Soldiers.

Seeing them so vulnerable, Di Jiang couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

"Dijun, come and meet your death!"

However, Dijun's figure was not seen among the vanguard.

"Ancestral Witch!"

Instead, an incredibly hot gaze met Di Jiang's, locking eyes with him.

Tai Yi charged over without a word.

He had endured for so long just for this day.

If he could kill the isolated Ancestral Witch Di Jiang, the situation between the Wu and Yao would be settled.

Clang!!!

The bell rang, and the chaos bell manifested infinite time and space, only to instantly annihilate them.

It generated an infinite suppressive force, striking toward Di Jiang.

Di Jiang was truly startled to see Tai Yi being so reckless.

"So reckless, are you even a Yao?"

Di Jiang did not retreat at all, meeting Tai Yi head-on.

The battle between the strongest of the Wu and Yao Races immediately caused the world to lose its color.

The sound of the chaos bell vibrated through the Primordial World, and Solar True Fire erupted around Tai Yi as he transformed into a dazzling golden sun, charging straight at Di Jiang.

Di Jiang laughed wildly, the muscles of his Ancestral Witch True Body bulging; space shattered continuously under his fists as he faced the suppressive force of the chaos bell head-on.

The chaos bell dropped thousands of strands of Chaos air currents, each as heavy as a mountain, compressing the space around Di Jiang until it warped and deformed.

Di Jiang swung his fists, wielding the Law of space as easily as his own limbs, splitting the space before him into countless folded barriers.

The suppressive force of the chaos bell was actually dispersed by the layers of space, its power greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Tai Yi turned the bell, manifesting the power of space-time annihilation to crush all the spatial rifts Di Jiang had laid down.

Di Jiang's figure flickered, instantaneously traversing different Void Realms, causing the chaos bell's locking mechanism to miss repeatedly.

As the two fought fiercely, the mountains and rivers for hundreds of millions of miles around were completely shattered.

Di Jiang threw a punch, causing space to collapse and forcing Tai Yi back.

Tai Yi used the bell's sound to shatter the Void Realm, causing the Laws of space around Di Jiang to become chaotic.

Having withstood such an Innate Supreme Treasure, Di Jiang's Ancestral Witch True Body was also stained with some Dao wounds.

"Quite tough!"

"But..."

"I like it!"

Di Jiang ignored the increasing Dao wounds on his body and focused only on the thrill of the battle.

The battle between the two continued.

At this moment, the Heavenly Court took action.

Numerous primary stars projected their starlight simultaneously; the chaos bell absorbed the stellar power, and the Chaos dao patterns on the bell's body lit up one by one.

Every toll of the bell carried the power of exploding stars.

Di Jiang's spatial traversal began to lag.

The starlight was like a net, sealing off all dimensional exits.

He had to use his Ancestral Witch True Body to tank some of the attacks, and scorch marks from the starlight began to appear on his body.

Tai Yi seized the opportunity, the chaos bell expanding to the size of a mountain, striking Di Jiang down from the Void Realm with a single blow.

Amidst the earth-shaking impact, a giant crater formed where Di Jiang fell.

It had to be admitted that Tai Yi, at full strength and buffed by starlight, was incredibly fierce.

However, as the leader of the Wu race and the eldest brother of the Ancestral Witches, how could he admit defeat?

Di Jiang let out a roar, and a surging wave of turbid baleful qi poured in from the direction of Mount Buzhou.

With both feet on the ground, the Law of space erupted once more; the Void Realm was continuously shattered, turning into spatial blades that tore an opening in the net of starlight.

Di Jiang suddenly appeared behind Tai Yi, throwing a punch toward his heart.

If the chaos bell hadn't automatically protected its master and blocked the blow for Tai Yi, he would likely have been seriously injured by now.

Tai Yi couldn't help but deeply acknowledge the combat power of this head of the Ancestral Witches.

But in a war between two races, he couldn't hold back.

Tai Yi's counterattack became even more fierce.

The chaos bell was activated once again.

The mouth of the bell swallowed the surrounding Laws of space like a black hole; Di Jiang could no longer evade and could only endure the suppressive force of the chaos bell.

"Frizzled-feathered bird, stop right there!"

"Big brother, I'm coming to help you!"

...Roars of the Ancestral Witches echoed from all directions.

Along with them came boundless baleful qi.

The Ancestral Witches had clearly reached the Peak of their Battle Intent.

"Tai Yi, I'm freaking here!"

"And me!"

The combined attack of Zhu Rong and Gonggong appeared again; as the two charged together, they sent the Yao Race's vanguard flying.

Even Tai Yi felt a chill in his heart when he saw these two hotheads charging at him.

If he took a hit like that, he'd be in for a world of hurt.

Tai Yi could only temporarily dodge.

He made up his mind that if he faced these two, he must not let them build up momentum.

With the formation broken, Di Jiang was also able to escape from the power of the chaos bell.

At this time, his body was already covered in wounds.

But he was still full of Battle Intent.

The various factions of the Wu race also attacked together, beginning their battle with the Yao Race in the Primordial World.

Seeing the Demon Emperor descend, the Yao Race no longer retreated and began a massive battle with the Wu race.

The calamity baleful qi finally erupted; the Great Calamity had begun.

This time, both races would likely reveal their trump cards and fight until the world turned dark.

Seeing this scene, Qing Wu couldn't help but look up toward the Zixiao Palace in the Chaos.

According to the original development, Hongjun should appear to stop this fight.

However, this was likely what those entities wanted to see.

Once Hongjun stepped in, it would mean that the limit of the Primordial World had been reached, and they had seen through it.

This would allow them to have a clearer judgment of the situation between both sides.

But then again, how could you know if it wasn't intentionally leaked for you to see...
