Chapter 193 The Demon Clan Retreats, The Mysterious Divine Child

"Damn it, there's a sixth child!"

While the three demon emperors were focused on Pangu's true form, Lai Yang used the power of the spacetime law to launch a successful sneak attack, severely injuring the demon emperor in the late stage of the Immortal Emperor realm who was wielding the Slaughtering Witch Sword with a single punch.

"Everyone, I'm here to help you." Lai Yang looked at the Twelve Ancestral Witches and called out.

"It is Fellow Daoist Lai Yang."

"What's going on? Fellow Daoist Lai Yang is actually... an Immortal Emperor! And the Dao aura he exudes is so similar to the Great Dao of Power of the Father God! Wasn't the path to becoming an Emperor through the Great Dao of Power already severed? How can someone still prove the Dao with power?"

"It's so scary, so scary!"

"Don't waste the opportunity that Fellow Daoist Lai Yang has created for us. Now's the time to kill these demon scum!"

The Demon Emperor's face was grim, and his eyes revealed anger. He threatened, "Where did this ignorant human immortal emperor come from? As a human, you actually helped the Witch Clan and went against our Demon Clan. The human race will pay the price for your actions!"

Upon hearing this, Lai Yang scoffed disdainfully: "Laughable. Trying to play moral blackmail with me? As long as I have no morals, no one can blackmail me. If you want to fight, then fight. Enough with the nonsense. Take this sword."

Having said that, Lai Yang transformed his hand into a sword, the sword intent evolving into the sun, moon, and stars, containing boundless killing intent.

Just then, the aura of the late-stage Immortal Emperor Demon Emperor, who had been severely injured by Lai Yang, burst forth, and he dragged his wounded body back to the battlefield.

As expected, demons in the late stage of the Immortal Emperor realm are not so easy to kill. Lai Yang has only recently broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, so it is already quite an achievement that he was able to launch a sneak attack and severely injure him.

"How dare a mere ant of the early stage of Immortal Emperor in the human race be so insolent before me! Die!"

The Demon Emperor, a late-stage Immortal Emperor, had a fierce look in his eyes. His furious sword strike seemed to cleave the heavens and earth in two, its power earth-shattering and causing countless members of the Witch Clan to feel immense pressure.

Lai Yang remained expressionless. The power of the Witch-Slaying Sword was mainly effective against the Witch Clan, but it was useless against him.

However, when faced with the oppressive power of the Slaughtering Witch Sword, and feeling the overwhelming aura of witch-like evil energy that had been formed by killing countless humans and witches, he was still overwhelmed.

Lai Yang's golden heart suddenly began to beat violently and uncontrollably, as if filled with sorrow and pain, or perhaps with intense anger. At the same time, a burning sensation surged through Lai Yang's limbs and bones, converging on his arm.

Two astonishing golden lights appeared in Lai Yang's eyes. He raised his hand and the power of the Great Dao of Strength transformed into a huge divine axe, which fiercely cleaved towards the Slaughtering Witch Sword: "Opening Heaven Style".

With a single axe strike, carrying the force of creation, countless laws of power were annihilated.

boom!
Two terrifying forces intertwined and erupted, causing even space to collapse and shatter. Anything affected or sucked into it was reduced to nothing but bones.

Puff puff puff~!

In an instant, the demon emperor, who was in the late stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, suffered a backlash from the power and vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

In contrast, Lai Yang also retreated rapidly, spitting out a mouthful of blood and wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.

The difference between the early and late stages of the Immortal Emperor realm is even greater than the difference between a human and a dog.

Even after a direct confrontation and his opponent was injured by a sneak attack, he was still injured.

However, this injury was nothing to him; it was the other person who was truly suffering.

The demon emperor, a late-stage immortal emperor, was pale-faced, his blood and qi churning chaotically within him, and he did not recover for a long time.

Seeing this, Lai Yang instantly moved, adhering to the principle of striking while the iron is hot, and launched a relentless and frenzied attack.

No matter what magic or supernatural power the opponent uses, it will be defeated by force.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other demon emperor did not hesitate at all and chose to intervene from the side.

In an instant, the Demon Emperor unleashed his bloodline divine power, conjuring a colossal tortoise with a body that reached the heavens and the earth. The tortoise's limbs were like pillars supporting the sky, and it pressed down with one foot.

"Be careful, fellow Taoist!"

Bang!
The earth roared and trembled violently, dust filled the sky, and countless hideous cracks appeared on the ground.

If that stomp lands firmly, even an ordinary early-stage Immortal Emperor would be turned into mincemeat.

The next moment, a terrifying aura soared into the sky, and Lai Yang's true form as an Immortal Emperor appeared.

A pair of deep, dark eyes, seemingly containing endless laws, surveyed the heavens and earth. With domineering force, it overturned the giant tortoise, and the overwhelming sword energy poured down like a torrential rain, slaying countless demons.

The Giant Turtle Demon Emperor was slightly startled, but not too nervous, because his strongest bloodline ability was not attack, but defense.

"Don't even mention a mere early-stage Immortal Emperor like yourself. Even a late-stage Immortal Emperor would find it impossible to break through my defenses," the Giant Turtle Demon Emperor said confidently.

"Hmph, does it think it's so great just because its shell is hard?" Lai Yang sneered disdainfully. Then, the Mitian Sword Qi flashed with purple lightning, forming a huge lightning net that covered the giant tortoise.

Sensing the destructive power contained within the lightning, the Demon Emperor was startled, his eyes widening in disbelief: "Purple Heaven Divine Lightning?! How is this possible!?"

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, capable of slaying immortals and destroying gods, possesses boundless power and is one of the powers by which the Heavenly Dao inflicts divine punishment.

Apart from the strongest beings of ancient times, he had never seen anyone who could master the power of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder; at most, they could only borrow a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

The destructive power of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning is extremely terrifying. Although his defense is very strong, he cannot withstand the domineering and continuous attack of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

“Brother, save me!”

Just then, the Demon Emperor, a late-stage Immortal Emperor, made his move, transforming into his true form to disperse Lai Yang's sword energy and Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

"This human is too strange. A human who has just broken through to the early stage of Immortal Emperor not only has mastered the Great Dao of Power, but also knows how to unleash the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. Who exactly is he? Why is he helping the Witch Clan?"

"Stop talking, I can't take it anymore."

In the brief moment when the two demon emperors were simultaneously dealing with Lai Yang, the true form of Pangu, condensed by the twelve ancestral witches, was frantically chasing and slashing at the third demon emperor.

By the time the other demons reacted, he had already become quite disheveled, and his aura had weakened considerably.

The Pangu True Body, formed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches who possessed the power of the Primordial Spirit, was strong enough to rival a late-stage Immortal Emperor. Coupled with Lai Yang, the human Immortal Emperor whose combat power was ridiculously exaggerated, the Demon Emperor immediately realized that their fate was sealed.

It is almost impossible to wipe out the witch clan in one fell swoop this time.

Even if the demon race manages to destroy the witch race if the fighting continues, the demon race will likely be severely weakened and become the target of others' conquest and destruction.

That was definitely not the situation he wanted to see.

This time, when Buddhism suppressed reincarnation, the demon race took action with the Slaughtering Witch Sword, and the Asura and Beast races were also restrained by the demon race.

They thought they could take down the Witch Clan in one fell swoop, but they never expected that a human Immortal Emperor with such powerful combat strength would suddenly appear out of nowhere and launch a sneak attack without any martial ethics. It was simply shameless, excessive, and lacked any quality. It was even more disgusting than those bald monks in Buddhism.

He was severely injured by the Great Dao of Power, thus suffering a Dao injury, and repairing this Dao injury is no easy task.

"You damned human, I will remember you! From this day forward, my demon race will be your sworn enemy to the death! Once I have healed, I will personally take your head!" "Withdraw!"

In order to preserve the strength of the demon race, the Demon Emperor had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

Seeing the demon army retreat, the witch clan members immediately let out excited shouts and roars, their voices overwhelming.

The various forces secretly observing the war between the Lich and the Demon were all extremely shocked to see that the Lich Clan had actually managed to stop the Demon Clan's full-scale attack.

The demon race came with great force, and the Demon Emperor even personally took action with the Slaughtering Witch Sword. They also thought that the Witch race was doomed this time.

Unexpectedly, this is the final outcome. Just who is that human immortal emperor? Why have they never heard of such an immortal emperor in the immortal realm?

Most importantly, this person actually managed to successfully ambush a demon emperor who was in the late stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

It's almost impossible to ambush a Celestial Emperor, yet he managed to do it.

Not only did he manage to severely injure a late-stage Immortal Emperor with a single blow, it was simply outrageous.

Even the Demon Emperor, a late-stage Immortal Emperor, couldn't defend against him. It's likely that no one in most of the Immortal Realm could withstand his sudden sneak attack.

Such a being is too terrifying; they have to treat it with utmost caution.

For a time, countless forces in the immortal realm were secretly investigating Lai Yang's information and background.

Even if you can't be friends, it's best not to become enemies with this kind of jerk, otherwise you'll definitely have nightmares.

They are not afraid of strong opponents, but they worry that opponents like to be the sixth man. Nobody likes the feeling of being on edge all the time.

Soon, news of the Lich War reached a certain reclusive clan.

"Divine Child, the battle between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan has ended. The Demon Clan went to annihilate the Witch Clan with the Witch-Slaying Sword, but unexpectedly, due to the intervention of a human Immortal Emperor, they ultimately failed. The clan leader asked me to bring you the image stone to see. This person's combat power is extremely strong. His cultivation level seems to be at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, but he was able to launch a sneak attack and severely injure a late-stage Immortal Emperor. He should not be underestimated."

"Oh? An early-stage Immortal Emperor can severely injure a late-stage Immortal Emperor? Then the so-called Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan is nothing but trash."

He hadn't cared about these things before, but when he saw the record stone that documented the Lich War, he suddenly became interested.

"Ok?"

The photographic stone that recorded the battle between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan failed to capture Lai Yang's face, only his profile and back view.

Even from behind, he recognized Lai Yang immediately. His eyes widened slightly, and he said with a hint of excitement, "It's been a thousand years since we parted ways. I've finally found you."

"Divine Child, could this be the person you are looking for?" the attendant asked doubtfully.

He did not answer his attendant's question, put away the recording stone, and said calmly, "I am going to the Witch Clan."

"Huh? Go to the Witch Clan? The Witch Clan is in chaos right now, and they don't seem to like humans. It would be dangerous for the Divine Child to go there. At least we should report to the clan leader."

The young man ignored his attendant's words, casually took out a mid-grade magic weapon, and traversed the void to head towards the Witch Clan.

Seeing this, the attendant quickly followed and informed the clan chief of the matter.

Witch clan.

After the battle with the demon race ended, some of the witch clan members were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, while Lai Yang was escorted back to the witch clan by the twelve ancestral witches.

The people of the Wu tribe looked at him with increasingly fervent eyes, filled with worship and reverence.

Lai Yang first taught them the primordial spirit method of the Wu tribe, and later helped them defeat the demon tribe and resolve the life-and-death crisis of the Wu tribe.

"Fellow Daoist, you really kept this from us for a long time."

"When did you break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, or were you already an Immortal Emperor from the very beginning?"

"With fellow Daoists guarding our Wu clan, what do we have to fear from those scum of the demon race?"

"Alright, all of you, stop crowding around my fellow Daoist. Eighth Brother, you don't know your own strength. My fellow Daoist was just injured."

"Haha, Twelfth Sister, you're protecting her now."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just concerned about your injuries."

"Still being stubborn? It's obvious. Fellow Daoist, why don't you become Daoist partners with my little sister and stay in my Wu Clan as family?"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches blushed.

Hearing everyone's teasing, Lai Yang couldn't take it anymore and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, you're joking. I already have a Daoist partner."

"Hmm? Fellow Daoist already has a Daoist partner. Well, with your extraordinary talent, how could you not even have a Daoist partner?"

"So what if you have a Daoist partner? It's perfectly normal for us cultivators to have two or three Daoist partners."

Lai Yang coughed twice, forcibly steering the conversation back on track, saying, "Ahem, the demon race may return at any time after their retreat, so let's think about how to deal with them next time."

"This time, we were fortunate to have your help in severely injuring the Demon Emperor. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. We will definitely be more cautious if they come again next time."

"I think they're badly injured this time, and they shouldn't be bothering us again anytime soon."

"It's hard to say. My witch clan's enemies are not only the demon clan. Besides the demon clan, there must be other forces plotting against my witch clan behind this."

"Hmph, speaking of this, there's no news from the Asura Clan or the Beast Clan either. Those despicable guys actually dared to deceive us."

"Brothers and sisters, I don't know if you've heard, but recently there seems to have been a chaotic outbreak in the underworld. In the end, the Buddhist sect stepped in to quell and suppress the ghosts, but quite a few ghosts still managed to escape from the underworld. Don't you think there might be a problem with the cycle of reincarnation?"

Upon hearing this, the group of ancestral witches trembled slightly. Could it be that something had happened to the Goddess of the Earth?

Something happened in the underworld, and then the demon race launched a full-scale attack on the witch race. It's hard not to wonder if they did something to the witch goddess.

If something happens to the Witch Clan, the Witch Goddess will not stand idly by, and the Demon Clan will also pay an extremely heavy price. The Demon Emperor cannot possibly be unaware of this.

"Could it be that the Buddhist sect did something to the Witch Goddess?" The Fourth Ancestral Witch clenched her fist slightly and spoke indifferently.

"Those hypocritical guys in Buddhism, it's not surprising that they do anything. The underworld's influence has been infiltrated by Buddhism, and even those who guard reincarnation are Buddhists. If I weren't so weak, I would have already stormed into the underworld."

"The Witch Goddess is extremely powerful and controls the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld. Even if the Buddhist sect does something, they wouldn't dare to truly harm her. Our most urgent task now is to strengthen the overall strength of the Witch Clan. Only in this way will we have a chance to go to the underworld and rescue the Witch Goddess."

"Big brother is right."
