Chapter 187 The Forbidden Land of the Witch Clan, The Golden Heart

“The Ancestral Witches, the Ancestral Witches.”

“Ancestral Witch, this person has trespassed into the forbidden area of ​​our Witch Clan. Ancestral Witch, quickly take action and capture him.”

Upon hearing this, Lai Yang looked at the nine powerful figures that had suddenly appeared. These people were the Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan.

It was quite different from what he had imagined. Sure enough, this place probably didn't belong to the primordial world; it just had many similarities.

"Fellow Daoists, I had no intention of trespassing into the Witch Clan. I only entered this place by mistake due to spatial chaos. Please allow me to leave and do not make things difficult for me," Lai Yang said politely, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Hmph, that sounds nice. Humans are all cunning bastards. How can we trust you?"

"Seventh Brother, why waste words with this human? Let's capture him first and then question him slowly."

“I agree with Eighth Brother’s idea. This person has an extraordinary aura and suddenly appeared in our Wu Clan’s forbidden area. It’s hard to say that he might be someone who covets our Wu Clan’s treasures and has ulterior motives.”

"In that case, my eighth brother and I will work together to capture this man first."

In just a few words, the quasi-saints of the witch clan made their decision.

The next moment, two quasi-saint level experts from the Witch Clan made their move, their enormous hands grabbing towards Lai Yang.

Upon seeing this, Lai Yang was slightly taken aback and threw a punch.

The two forces collided and erupted, unleashing a terrifying surge of blood energy that forced both sides back.

"Good heavens, humans can actually cultivate such a powerful physical body? Who exactly are you, and what are your intentions in coming to my Witch Clan? Speak!" the Fifth Ancestral Witch coldly questioned.

Seeing that he couldn't reason with these muscular guys, and knowing he couldn't stay and surrender, Lai Yang resolutely turned and ran, making his escape as fast as he could.

"He's trying to run away, stop him."

"Hmph, you think you can escape on our territory? Do you have no shame left for our Wu tribe?"

Lai Yang was intercepted and pursued by nine quasi-saint level ancestral witches of the witch clan. He fought and retreated. The commotion caused by the battle of the ten people even leveled many mountains. Countless monsters and birds were caught in the crossfire and scattered in all directions.

Bang bang bang!
Crackling!

Boom boom boom!
Even with the power of the Time Law, Lai Yang couldn't gain the slightest advantage. The powerful figures before him all possessed one or more complete laws of power, coupled with their domineering physical strength. Lai Yang couldn't gain any advantage in his fight against them.

Their physical bodies were as hard as defensive magic treasures, making them extremely difficult for even Lai Yang to shake.

He wasn't the only one with this idea; the witch clan on the other side shared the same sentiment.

They couldn't help but be shocked by Lai Yang's physical cultivation. They had never seen any human cultivate their physical body to such a perfect and ultimate state, even more pure and terrifying than the physical bodies of their own witch clan.

Despite his physical body only having just broken through to the first level of the Quasi-Saint Realm, he could probably still fight against a mid-stage Quasi-Saint Realm expert.

Such a peerless genius of the human race may have come from a reclusive clan in the immortal realm to gain experience; we must not let him go easily.

Under pressure from nine Quasi-Saint level Wu Clan experts, Lai Yang had no choice but to flee deeper into the Wu Clan's forbidden area.

"Damn it, he's gone deep into the forbidden area. Stop that guy."

"That kid is too fast, he's hard to catch."

"Even if it's difficult to catch them, we must still pursue them. We absolutely cannot allow any mishap to occur in the forbidden area."

After a long chase, the nine witch clans surrounded Lai Yang, gradually tightening the encirclement until Lai Yang had nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

Unbeknownst to him, Lai Yang had arrived at a huge stone forest.

The situation inside the Stone Forest is complex and complicated, with many powerful trapping and killing formations. Ordinary people who step into this place are very likely to die.

Even though Lai Yang's physical body had reached the Quasi-Saint realm, it was no exception, which shows how dangerous it was.

However, realizing that the Wu Clan was closing in, they might be able to use this huge stone forest to escape their pursuers.

With this in mind, Lai Yang resolutely plunged into the towering stone forest maze before him.

Soon, the figure of the powerful Wu Clan arrived. Sensing that Lai Yang had actually entered the Stone Forest Maze, he immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

"That human actually found this place. Sure enough, he came for our witch clan."

"Come in with me, we must capture that human."

"Hmph, those despicable humans! Do they really think our witch clan is so easily humiliated? Once I catch him, I'll make sure he knows the thunderous methods of my witch clan."

"This place is fraught with danger and restrictions. All clansmen must stay close to me and not wander off."

"Yes."

After saying this, the Wu tribe members immediately flew into the stone forest.

On the other side, Lai Yang seemed to be summoned from the depths of his being.

Before he knew it, Lai Yang had passed through the dangerous stone forest, and then thirteen huge statues of different appearances suddenly appeared in front of him.

At first glance, Lai Yang was drawn to the tall statue in the center.

The statue is sculpted in the form of a giant man, who holds a giant axe that splits the heavens and earth, with one foot planted on the ground and the other hand supporting the sky.

Lai Yang could clearly feel a terrifying, world-shaking will after just a few glances, which moved him deeply.

"Could this person be carving... Pangu?" Lai Yang was taken aback, and couldn't help but wonder.

Suddenly, without warning, Lai Yang's consciousness was pulled into a chaotic space by a mysterious force.

There was nothing around; it was nothingness, chaos, and utter silence.

Lai Yang vaguely saw that something extremely terrifying was being nurtured within the chaos and was gradually awakening.

"Legend has it that the universe started from a single point, which is also what Taoism refers to as 'one'."

"Pangu sacrificed his own life and all his cultivation to create and divide the world."

"The day Pangu awakens will be the day he falls. Am I about to witness Pangu creating the world?"

Lai Yang couldn't contain his excitement, his gaze intently fixed on the evolution of chaos.

At this moment, the void is chaotic, there is no time, no space, no concept of any laws, everything is in chaos and disorder.

Lai Yang knew this was a tremendous opportunity, and he focused intently on observing and contemplating everything that was happening before him.

Gradually, a powerful primordial being hatched and was born from the chaos, possessing terrifying power from birth.

Before that powerful and ancient primordial being, Lai Yang felt as insignificant as an ant, as if the other party could obliterate him with a single glance. The powerful primordial being took out its natal magic weapon, wielding a giant axe that split the chaos and nothingness with a single blow. Then, with its massive body, it stomped on the earth and supported the sky with its hands, forcibly creating a space within the chaos.

However, creating chaos was no easy task. That powerful primordial being recklessly burned itself to gain power, eventually prying open the heavens and earth bit by bit.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lai Yang felt deeply shocked.

What was happening before his eyes was so similar to the Pangu he remembered. Was this the power of the innate beings in ancient times?

From birth, it stands at the pinnacle of all living things.

Lai Yang even suspected that his cultivation level had exceeded the Immortal Emperor realm, and that he was an even more terrifying and powerful being above the Immortal Emperor realm.

The Corpse Demon Immortal Emperor and the Golden Knife Immortal Emperor that Lai Yang had previously encountered were nothing compared to this ancient being.

He could probably kill someone with a single slap.

Lai Yang looked at everything with a solemn expression, and for some reason, he felt a strange heaviness in his heart.

However, Lai Yang is currently only a wisp of spiritual consciousness. He doesn't even belong to this plane; he's just a non-existent third party.

He can't do anything, and he can't change anything.

The only thing to do is to watch quietly, to be a witness, and to watch that terrifying ancient primordial being complete its mission of creating the world.

After everything was over, the terrifying creature that created the world also burned out its life force and was about to die from exhaustion.

The next moment, Lai Yang was shocked to find that the terrifying innate being was looking in his direction.

"He can see me?" Lai Yang's heart pounded uncontrollably, like a thunderous drumbeat. He felt frozen in place, unable to move, extremely nervous.

However, it turned out that Lai Yang was overthinking things. The other party not only did not have any malicious intentions, but even gave him a slight smile.

His eyes seemed to reveal a look of relief and satisfaction.

Suddenly, the chaotic space around Lai Yang trembled violently, and all the scenes shattered like reflections in a mirror or the moon in the water.

Lai Yang's consciousness returned to his body, and when he came to his senses, he found his entire body soaked in sweat.

At the same time, Lai Yang felt as if something had entered his body.

Lai Yang subconsciously used his divine sense to examine his own condition, and there were no changes in other parts of his body.

But when Lai Yang discovered the golden heart, he was immediately startled, his eyes widening in disbelief: "Holy crap! Where did this thing come from?"

"A golden heart... could it be the heart of Pangu?!"

The golden heart continued to beat strongly, and with each beat, Lai Yang could feel a powerful force surging within it, along with a warm current flowing into his limbs and bones, enhancing his physical body and cultivation.

This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! He actually obtained a divine object that resembles the Heart of Pangu.

The value of the Heart of Pangu is immeasurable and must never be known to others, otherwise it may bring him great disaster.

As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." For a weak person to possess a treasure that is disproportionate to his own strength is itself a crime.

However, with the Heart of Pangu, Lai Yang's cultivation will no longer face any bottlenecks. He believes that it won't be long before no one in the entire Immortal Realm will dare to provoke him.

However, at that moment, the figures of the Ancestral Witches reappeared on the spot, shouting sternly, "You little thief of the human race, you can't escape!"

"Wait, Eighth Brother."

The Eighth Ancestral Witch, who was about to attack Lai Yang, was suddenly stopped by his elder brother. He turned around and looked at his brother with a questioning gaze.

"Can you sense the presence of the Father God in him?"

Upon hearing the Third Ancestral Witch's words, the other Ancestral Witch experts all changed their expressions and turned to look at Lai Yang. Immediately afterward, the bloodline of the Witch Clan within their bodies began to stir.

"The aura of the Father God! It really is the aura of the Father God! How could a human possibly possess the aura of the Father God?!" The members of the witch clan were utterly shocked.

"Human, what have you done? How come the aura of the Father God suddenly appears on your body?" The hot-tempered Eighth Ancestral Witch couldn't help but shout.

“Eighth brother, you must not be rude. This person carries the aura of the Father God and is the one chosen by the Father God.”

As if worried that the Eighth Ancestral Witch might offend the other party, the Fourth Ancestral Witch quickly spoke up.

"The Wu Clan once prophesied that a non-Wu Clan being who possesses the aura of the Father God is the key to the great prosperity of our Wu Clan and should not be neglected."

"How could a human be the key to the rise of my Witch Clan? Humans and demons are the most cunning and treacherous. Our Witch Clan suffered greatly at their hands, with countless members dying. Humans are not trustworthy." The Eighth Ancestral Witch seemed to harbor a strong sense of wariness towards other races and said in a deep voice.

"Twelfth Sister's prophecy will not be wrong. In any case, let's take this person back to the Witch Clan first, and we can talk about other things later."

The Eighth Ancestral Witch immediately fell silent, while the other Ancestral Witch-level powerhouses nodded.

Then, the Third Ancestral Witch stepped out of the crowd, looked at Lai Yang with a deep gaze, and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist, I am Tao Ye of the Witch Clan. There was some misunderstanding between us before, and I apologize to you. You have the aura of the Father God on you, so you must be destined to be with our Witch Clan. Would you like to come with us to the Witch Clan as a guest? We will definitely treat you with great hospitality and will never harm you."

Lai Yang looked at the nine Quasi-Saint Realm Ancestral Witches, his expression slightly solemn.

Why did these people suddenly change their attitude? Could it be because they sensed the aura of the Pangu Heart within him?
Lai Yang pondered for a moment, but now he had no choice but to accept the situation.

Lai Yang was unsure of these people's methods, so he decided to leave with them first and see how things went.

If he were to encounter any danger, he would still be fairly confident in protecting himself.

"My presence here is entirely due to an accident, not because I intentionally wanted to oppose the Witch Clan. It is because you refused to listen to me and have been so aggressive that you have come to this point." Lai Yang looked up at the Witch Clan members and spoke in a humble yet assertive manner.

"We acted rashly in this matter, and we hope you will not take it to heart, fellow Daoist. After all, it concerns the forbidden area of ​​our Wu Clan, and our clansmen were just confused because they were concerned. I am willing to offer compensation to gain your understanding."

After saying that, Tao also took out a storage bag and pushed it in front of Lai Yang.

"Here is one million immortal crystals, a small token of our Wu clan's goodwill. Please do not refuse, fellow Daoist."

Seeing this, Lai Yang accepted the one million immortal crystals without hesitation and nodded: "No problem, no problem."

"Since you have accepted the compensation, would you be willing to come back to the Witch Clan with us as guests? We would like to extend our hospitality to you," the Third Ancestral Witch said in a very polite and amiable manner.

Of course, Lai Yang understood that all of this was because of the Pangu Heart that had suddenly appeared in his body; otherwise, these witches would never have been so polite to him.

It's clearly unwise to break ties with the Wu Clan now, and judging from their expressions, they won't let him leave easily.

If Lai Yang refuses, the Wu Clan will likely take action again and forcibly take him back to the Wu Clan, although he doesn't know why.

"Fellow Daoist has been so kind in inviting me. It would be too petty of me to refuse. So I will gladly accept your invitation."

Go back with them and see what the witch clan is really up to.
