Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan clashed again, but they both knew that this time was not the same as the previous ones. Many of the Demon Clan's hidden and powerful members had now come out to fight, and together they were holding back the Twelve Demon Gods of the Witch Clan.

Although Jumang's injuries have almost healed, he has not yet returned to his previous level. At the beginning, he was able to gain a slight advantage.

As time went on, his stamina began to wane. Di Jun realized that Ju Mang's strength had not fully recovered, so he adopted a delaying tactic to wear down Ju Mang's stamina.

Jumang also realized Dijun's intention and tried to solve the problem of exhaustion by fighting quickly. Unfortunately, Dijun's strength was equal to his, and the two were entangled for a long time but still could not be defeated.

Ju Mang's stamina was almost completely depleted. Di Jun struck out with his palm towards Ju Mang. Ju Meng looked at Zhao Feng in front of him, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. His stamina was about to run out, but he could not admit defeat; he had to persevere.

Just as the palm strike was about to arrive, at the critical moment, Jumang used all his strength to perfectly dodge Dijun's palm strike with a sideways dodge, and then struck out with his own palm towards Dijun.

Di Jun noticed that although Ju Mang's palm strike was fierce, it lacked momentum, indicating that he was already at his limit.

Di Jun easily caught Ju Mang's palm strike, then unleashed his full power in a counterattack. Just as he had expected, Ju Mang was at his limit and had no strength left to withstand his blow.

He could only watch helplessly as the palm strike came head-on towards his face. He hurriedly tried to control his body, but he was already exhausted and could no longer muster any strength.

He could only take the blow head-on, his body flying away like a kite with a broken string. Di Jun sneered, wanting to press his advantage, and struck Ju Mang with another palm.

Chapter 1043 The Fall

This scene was witnessed by Hou Yi, who had just killed a demon general. Hou Yi quickly stepped forward, drew his bow, and shot an arrow, blocking the blow for Jumang.

"Get out of the way!" Di Jun roared, his eyes bloodshot with urgency. He was determined to kill Ju Mang today, no matter what.

"No!" Hou Yi stood firmly in front of Ju Mang, his attitude resolute.

While Di Jun and Hou Yi were locked in a fierce battle, Donghuang Taiyi and Xing Tian were also locked in a heated fight, their conflict seemingly inescapable.

"Brother, what should we do?" Houtu looked at the increasingly chaotic situation, which was now beyond their control, and couldn't help but ask their elder brother Dijiang for help.

"Let's take another look!" Dijiang, who was fighting with one person, stopped and looked at Houtu anxiously. The situation was out of control, and they could only take it one step at a time. They dared not make a decision until the very last moment.

"Brother, why don't we set up an array?" suggested Zhu Rong, whose temper was the most fiery. Damn it, he had been driven to the brink of desperation.

"Don't rush, let's observe first!" Dijiang interrupted Zhurong's fiery temper. Any decision now means their choice, and making a hasty decision could cause damage. He couldn't risk the fate of the Wu tribe.

"Ah!" Hou Yi suddenly cried out as he was struck by the Chaos Bell that Di Jun had summoned.

Seeing Hou Yi injured, Di Jun was secretly delighted and pressed his advantage. The Chaos Bell was radiating a heavy aura of death, which enveloped Hou Yi's head and attacked him.

Hou Yi tried to dodge, but found that his body was frozen in place and he could only watch helplessly as the Chaos Bell enveloped him, unable to do anything about it.

Hou Yi took out his Sun-Shooting Bow, squatted down, and with a burst of strength from his arms, shot out a divine arrow.

With a loud bang, it collided with the Chaos Bell, producing a soft sound. The divine sword shattered, but the Chaos Bell remained unharmed.

"Hou Yi, my son!" Xing Tian watched his son Hou Yi being gradually enveloped by the Chaos Bell, feeling anxious and uneasy, yet unable to escape.

Xing Tian was burning with anxiety, but Donghuang Taiyi would not easily let Xing Tian go to save his son.

"Father, take care of yourself! You must take good care of your health!" Hou Yi shouted to his father in the last second under the Chaos Bell.

"Son!!! Son!!! Son!!!" Xing Tian shouted Hou Yi's name, but Hou Yi was shrouded in chaos and could no longer hear his calls.

"Ah!" Xing Tian began to rage, using all his strength to send Donghuang Taiyi flying and shattering Donghuang Taiyi's Donghuang Bell.

"Son, Hou Yi!" Xing Tian flew forward. Hou Yi was trapped in the Chaos Bell and could not escape. Xing Tian rushed out, but he could not budge the Chaos Bell even an inch. Instead, he was hit and injured by the Chaos Bell.

Before long, the chaos departed on its own, leaving only Hou Yi lying on the ground, unable to get up. Hou Yi's death thoroughly enraged the Wu tribe.

"Brother, don't hesitate any longer, let's set up the formation!" Zhu Rong suggested again. Hou Yi's death had brought them great crisis, and only by setting up the formation could they have a glimmer of hope for victory.

"Yes, brother, just listen to Zhu Rong!" The beautiful Hou Tu hurriedly echoed. The current situation is tense, and they alone cannot win. If they adjust their strategy, it will be a big difference. If they can ensure that the strength of 12 people is combined, it will far exceed the strength of one person.

"Alright, let's set up the formation then." Originally, Dijiang wanted to hesitate and consider it further. However, after being persuaded by Zhurong and Houtu, Dijiang was moved.

Thinking of the fates of Hou Yi and Xing Tian, ​​he felt indignant and made up his mind to set up the formation.

Dijiang stood at the bottom, Zhurong and Houtu stood on the second level, and the others stood on the third level, forming an earthen shield.

The ancestral witches set up the first killing formation in the primordial world, the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Fiend God Formation".

When Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi saw the Wu tribe beginning to unite and set up a formation together, they knew something was wrong. If they allowed them to exceed 100 points, their chances of winning would become extremely slim.

They had witnessed the combined formation of the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu tribe before. Once they joined forces, they were unstoppable. Even the Song Dynasty ancestor Hong Jun might not be able to defeat them.

Fortunately, they also knew how to set up formations, so they had to rush to set up their own formations before the 12 Ancestral Witches could, in order to achieve victory.

"The Great Array of the Celestial Stars!" Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi roared, then began to use it, performing strange movements, their bodies radiating golden light.

Seeing that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were about to set up their formation, while they had only just begun, the two of them had to speed up their pace, determined to set up their own formation before the others could.

They had tried the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation before, but it had never worked. This time, they had no choice but to give it their all. They knew that if they didn't use this formation, they would be invincible once they set it up.

Even if they didn't know if the formation would succeed this time, they couldn't give up. They had to try to find out. Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun had the formation imprinted on their heads, but they still refused to admit defeat.

"Ah..." The twelve clans roared, and then the formation appeared in front of everyone.

Meanwhile, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, along with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, completed the formation almost simultaneously, resulting in a fierce clash between their powerful opponents.

The sun and moon trembled, mountains and rivers roared. The Ancestral Witches vanished in this battle, as did Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi…

When the light faded, there was nothing left except for traces of a fierce struggle.

Meanwhile, Li Xiuyuan and Nuwa were leading Gonggong and Zhuque on their way to the Wu tribe. Along the way, they encountered several waves of attacks from dark forces.

They also discovered that the influence of the Three Pure Ones had gradually spread to the human world, where they established religions and humanity embarked on a new journey, thus embarking on the path of the strong.

Originally, Li Xiuyuan did not want to bring Zhuque along, but Zhuque insisted on following Li Xiuyuan and Nuwa all the way.

Chapter 1044 Reencounter with Hongjun. A draw ensues.

When Li Xiuyuan and Nuwa arrived at the Wu tribe, the place was barren and lifeless.

The Lich War has ended. The two races were evenly matched in their formations, and neither gained the upper hand.

Neither race was willing to back down, and both wanted to use formations to annihilate the other. However, they did not expect that they could not withstand the power of the formations at all. When the formations collided, they emitted a bright light and a loud bang that lasted for a long time.

The aftershocks almost reached the entire chaotic world, causing a frenzy among all of humanity. Some powerful figures even went to investigate, but by the time they arrived at the scene, it was already over.

The energy fluctuations of the formation then swept towards the two races. Both races were so easily endangered by these energy fluctuations.

Both the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan perished in this battle. After this battle, the Human Clan began to prosper, and the stories of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were passed down.

After Li Xiuyuan led Nuwa and Zhuque out of the Wu tribe, they headed to the human world. By this time, Fuxi had already come of age.

When Li Xiuyuan and his companions were halfway there, Li Xiuyuan encountered Hongjun Laozu by chance. Naturally, neither of them wanted to let the other go.

Originally, Hongjun Patriarch thought that Li Xiuyuan was already dead. When he encountered Li Xiuyuan again, he was very flustered and filled with disbelief. He had clearly tried to kill him back then, and it was impossible for him to have survived under those circumstances.

Li Xiuyuan is incredibly lucky, escaping his grasp time and time again. But now that they've met again, he's determined not to let him go. He can only be at ease once Li Xiuyuan is in his hands.

Even the Hongjun Ancestor did not expect that in just tens of thousands of years, Li Xiuyuan's strength had reached the peak of his previous life, so it would not be easy for him to defeat Li Xiuyuan.

When Hongjun Laozu faced off against Li Xiuyuan, he realized how powerful Li Xiuyuan was. By then, it was too late to regret not going all out.

When Li Xiuyuan confronted Hongjun Laozu, he told Nuwa and Zhuque to leave first, and the winged horse led Nuwa and Zhuque away from Li Xiuyuan and Hongjun Laozu.

Only Li Xiuyuan remained to fight against Hongjun Ancestor. Both of them were at the Heavenly Dao Realm. Their battle emitted intense light, causing the chaotic world to tremble continuously.

Since their cultivation levels were similar, they ultimately fought to a draw. Hongjun Patriarch was unable to subdue Li Xiuyuan and deeply regretted not eliminating him back then.

The two fought for thousands of years, during which many things happened in the chaotic world, but they remained evenly matched.

In the end, even the Grandmaster Hongjun had to admit that their strengths were now evenly matched, and neither could defeat the other. If they continued fighting, who knew what would happen? So he turned around and disappeared from Li Xiuyuan's sight.

Li Xiuyuan had important things to do, so he didn't chase after them.

Hongjun Laozu fled his lair to continue his secluded cultivation. He couldn't allow Li Xiuyuan to surpass him; he wanted to surpass Li Xiuyuan as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Li Xiuyuan went to find Nuwa. When he found Nuwa, many years had passed since the change of dynasties, and Nuwa had long since become a saint.

Even Suzaku has found her enemy and successfully taken revenge.

"Master, how have you been these past few days?" After Yima led them away from Li Xiuyuan, they went to find Fuxi, who was then the leader of a tribe.

He also found his own happiness. Now, Fuxi has transcended the Six Realms, achieved perfect merit, successfully ascended to heaven, and has long since let go of his love for Nuwa. He now has a beautiful and virtuous wife and lives a very happy life.

Zhuque's enemy is none other than her own good friend, or rather, her self-righteous good friend, who never considered her a friend at all.

Suzaku's best friend is Peacock Blue Heart. Because Peacock is not as naturally powerful as Suzaku, her cultivation speed is much slower than Suzaku's.

In fact, the two of them were childhood friends. Peacock was much more hardworking than Vermilion Bird, but her cultivation level was not as high as Vermilion Bird's.

Even when she was young, Peacock began to feel unbalanced. She had to compare herself to Vermilion Bird in everything she did, but no matter how she compared, her cultivation level could never catch up with Vermilion Bird's.

At first, she thought it was envy, but as she grew up, she realized that it was jealousy. She was very jealous of Zhuque's talent, which was so high, yet he was still so lazy.

And what about her? She had to put in even more effort than Zhuque every day, but her cultivation level still couldn't catch up with Zhuque's. Over time, her heart became extremely unbalanced, even to the point of being psychologically twisted, and she wished Zhuque would disappear.

Zhuque's thoughts drifted back to the past. That day, as always, Kongque invited her out to play. At the time, Zhuque didn't think much of it and gladly accepted the invitation.

When she arrived at their agreed meeting place, Peacock was already waiting there. In fact, in their family, Vermilion Bird was the future head of the family, and Peacock was Vermilion Bird's guard.

At that time, the two of them were very good friends. Peacock was also very friendly to Vermilion Bird. Vermilion Bird naively thought that the two of them would be good friends for life. Although she was nominally his bodyguard, Vermilion Bird never regarded her as his bodyguard.

At that time, she naively fantasized that the two of them would cultivate together, travel together, and grow together. Back then, no matter what delicious food or fun things were available, Zhuque would think of Kongque first. Whether it was cultivation resources or anything else, she would share them with Kongque.

Who knew that her kindness would eventually become something that the peacock took for granted, and that her kindness would become a constraint. It was because she was too good to the peacock that the peacock took advantage of her kindness.

When she happily went to the banquet, the peacock had already arrived. At that time, she was still fawning over her and making her a lot of delicious food.

Because the two girls usually share good things with each other, Zhuque didn't realize that anything was wrong. What was the situation like at that time?

Zhuque couldn't remember clearly anymore, only that it was a very beautiful place. There, the grass was green, the sky was blue, hundreds of flowers were blooming, and the warm sunshine shone on the earth, giving it a faint golden glow.
