The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 135 - 81 Witch Demon Battle Begins (Part 4)

"Zhu Rong, stop struggling. Today, I will let your soul return to the earth," Di Jun said as he saw Zhu Rong struggling, being slowly drawn into the Refining Immortal Map, feeling an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

"Humph, don’t be too smug! Once your grandpa Zhu Rong breaks out of this array, I’ll tear off your wings and roast them for dinner!" Zhu Rong’s proud voice came from the array diagram.

"Humph!" Di Jun’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, "Seeking your own death!"

Suddenly, an extraordinarily bizarre white radiance appeared in Di Jun’s palm, the dazzling glow seemingly about to devour everyone’s souls!

With a "Bang!" the entire ball of radiance exploded suddenly, sucked into the Refining Immortal Map by its swallowing force.

With Zhu Rong entering the array diagram, what came into his view was a desolate wilderness. In the green sky floated nine suns, each radiating an unbearably scorching heat, and the wilderness lacked even a single tree—desolate, boundless, and silent!

Zhu Rong walked carelessly across the wilderness. Suddenly, a bright radiance, transforming into sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries, rushed directly towards Zhu Rong. It appeared abruptly as if it had always existed.

"What the hell is this?" Zhu Rong instinctively closed his eyes, but years of intuition told him it was dangerous, extremely dangerous! He instantly rolled to the ground, traversing several tens of meters, and when he reopened his eyes, he saw that the ground where he had just stood had sunk dozens of meters deep, forming a crater, with the air filled with hints of scorched scent.

"That was a close call!" Zhu Rong suddenly felt as if Di Jun had laid a trap for him. If those beams of light had hit him directly, he wouldn’t have died, but would have been severely injured!

"Boom!"

As Zhu Rong frowned, a sudden booming noise echoed in his ears. He saw beams of light transforming into a gigantic mountain that fiercely pressed down toward him. This seemingly ordinary ancient mountain carried an immortal charm, shattering the spatial array.

In great shock, Zhu Rong activated the full power of his bloodline, rapidly transforming into his Ancestor Witch True Body: a fierce leopard head emanated a brutal aura, with two fire snakes passing through his ears, hissing loudly. The two fiery red dragons beneath his feet, with their entire bodies covered in bright red scales and their sharp fangs wide open, seemed ready to devour at any moment.

"Go!"

Following that, Zhu Rong bellowed loudly, and a spear of ancient design, radiating an aura of the Dao, appeared in his hand. This spear was named the "Fire Cloud Spear," created by Li Qingming using the essence of stars, Red Sun Essence Iron, and hundreds of other top-grade Heavenly and Earthly refining materials, refined for eighty-one years with the Qiankun Tripod. At the moment of completion, a Divine Punishment descended to obstruct its birth! This treasure couldn’t be refined by Primordial Spirit but required constant nourishment with heart blood essence for a thousand years to be refined.

"Break!"

Zhu Rong held the spear in one hand, and suddenly, an Immortal Divine Clothes emitting a faint red glow covered his body. His blood qi surged around him, and his vibrant life force swept across the wilderness. The spear spun rapidly, meeting the strange and majestic mountain peak with a thrust.

"Crack, crack!"

The spear tore through the skies, shattering the entire space.

"Puh!"

With a loud shock, Zhu Rong, holding the spear handle, his thick red hair fluttering like a waterfall from the Nine Heavens, violently spurred the red giant dragons beneath him, piercing straight through the center of the mountain.

"Boom!"

The entire space’s spiritual energy violently erupted, infinite oppressive force emanated from the shattered mountain. This wave of spiritual energy, vast like the ocean, actually caused tremors that spread thousands of miles, and the nine suns in the sky seemed to shake violently. What immense spiritual energy this was, truly defying the heavens!

"Hiss"

With this turbulent force, the suns in the sky seemed to come alive. One by one, Golden Crows flew out from the suns, their bodies bathed in boundless divine fire, like Immortal Phoenixes descending to the mortal world!

"Damn it!" Witnessing this, Zhu Rong cursed loudly.

The moment the nine Golden Crows appeared, terrifying fluctuations soared into the sky, along with the still rampant vast spiritual energy, causing the wilderness to completely collapse and spread outwards rapidly, causing Heaven and Earth to crack!

"Damn it all! I’ll stake everything!" Zhu Rong, filled with hatred, glanced at the nine Golden Crows in the sky, recalling what Li Qingming always used to say at the Ancestral Witch Hall, "A man dies and birds fly to the heavens, immortal for eternity!"

"Whoosh!"

Zhu Rong surged to the sky, only to see the wilderness torn asunder, with Qiankun shaking violently and Chaos Qi surging wildly, drowning everything in an aura reminiscent of the creation of Heaven and Earth.

Outside the array, Di Jun had been observing the entire battle from the start. Seeing this, he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, children of the Witch Tribe! Your Ancestor Witch Zhu Rong has already returned his soul to Pan Gu God! Next, it’s all of you! Hahahaha..."

"Impossible!" Di Jiang’s face instantly turned a ghastly pale as all members of the Witch Tribe incredulously discussed amongst themselves.

By this time, the Heaven and Earth Taoist had already relayed everything happening at the South Heavenly Gate to Li Qingming’s true self. Li Qingming smiled faintly, looking at Di Jun, who was indulging in his triumph, and said: "Dead? That’s a joke, the real show has just started!"

"Roar!"

Indeed! Following a ferocious roar, Zhu Rong emerged from the small Refining Immortal Map, clutching a Golden Crow burning with blazing flames, his body smeared with fresh blood.

"Hmph! Little Di Jun, your grandpa is not dead yet! Pah," spitting out the black blood in his mouth, Zhu Rong casually threw the near-dissipating Golden Crow Illusion onto the ground.

"Hahaha, I knew Little Fire would be fine!" Gonggong joyfully clapped Zhu Rong’s shoulder, laughing heartily.

Caught off guard, Zhu Rong was knocked to the ground by Gonggong. This win was indeed perilous. Had he not been of fire nature, had not the Ancestor Witch True Body been strong enough, had he not had the Fire Cloud Spear, Zhu Rong would likely have returned his soul to Pan Gu God long ago!

The Great Witches bumbled around trying to help Zhu Rong up, as the Heaven and Earth Taoist stepped forward and fed him an Eight-Transformation Golden Pill. In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhu Rong was lively and energetic again. However, to fully recover, he would need close to a hundred and eighty years.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Taoist had already relinquished control of his body to Li Qingming.

Seeing Zhu Rong’s body scarred, Di Jiang, as his older brother, felt immense pain in his heart. At the moment, Di Jiang wished he could tear Di Jun apart alive.

Di Jiang’s body surged with Blood Qi and Evil Qi, appearing terrifyingly fearsome, his eyes filled with madness, deterring anyone from coming too near.

Di Jun was shocked, staring at the damaged Refining Immortal Map in his hands, unable to believe that Zhu Rong could have possibly escaped from this god-slaying, immortal-slaying Refining Immortal Map.

Di Jiang’s hands continuously moved, drawing countless Array Patterns in the Void. The Void Array Technique, taught to Di Jiang by Li Qingming during his free time, now revealed its terrifying fangs to the world for the first time.

"You little Di Jun, you harmed my brother! I must destroy your foundation and sever your limbs!" Like a God Demon descending into this world, Di Jiang, with murderous intent surging to the heavens, coldly looked at Di Jun. Then turning his head to his brothers, he ordered, "None of you intervene!"

Li Qingming knew what Di Jiang intended; today he was determined to kill Taiyi. Facing the Demon Race, which greatly outnumbered him, Di Jiang still boldly made this declaration. Observing such strength and posture, he truly dominated the world!

"Tap!"

Di Jiang stepped out and the recently drawn Void Runes instantly burst into millions of beams of light, forming a Void Transmission Array Pattern. With a light tap forward with his hand, a profound void pathway immediately appeared, with Five-Colored Divine Light flickering indefinitely, seemingly piercing through the heavens to the eternal end.

"Heh!" Di Jiang smirked coldly, taking a step inside, his aura concealed to the extreme as he left without looking back, disappearing into the Void Stacked Path.

"Swish!"

Di Jiang’s figure became an illusion, instantly breaking through the spatial barriers, appearing in the Lingxiao Palace of Ping Yu Ji Yi Heavens. There, Di Jiang’s features were ferocious as he immediately manifested his Ancestor Witch True Body: ten Zhang tall, like a yellow sack, red as vermilion fire, six legs four wings, with a primitive giant axe above his head, shimmering with a faint Mystic Yellow light.

"Roar!"

The giant axe suddenly expanded, growing to hundreds of Zhang in size. Enveloped with the momentum of Heaven and Earth Creation, it ferociously smashed down towards Di Jun’s throne!

"Boom!"

A thunderous boom erupted, causing a ferocious Qi Force to sweep across the entire Lingxiao Palace, shattering the palace into fragments. The surrounding fallen stars suffered as well, with even nearby small stars bursting open! Its momentum, seemingly splitting Heaven and Earth, wanting to re-create the Chaos, made the sun and moon tremble!

Upon hearing this thunderous noise, Di Jun’s complexion drastically changed, and he bellowed: "Not good!"
