In the Primordial World, both the Demon Court and the Wu Clan had completed their mobilizations, with the massive army of the Demon Court marching towards Buzhou Mountain.
The Wu Clan, fully assembled on Buzhou Mountain, awaited the arrival of the Demon Court!
Nu Wa had been busy establishing her own chaotic dojo. She had just finished creating the Wa Huang Palace when she learned of the impending war between the Wu and Demon clans.
Inside the Wa Huang Palace, upon hearing the news of the Wu-Demon war, Nu Wa, worried about Fuxi's safety, immediately decided to head to the Demon Court!
As Nu Wa stepped out of the Wa Huang Palace, she saw Jieyin and Zhunti arriving together!
Nu Wa frowned, wondering what these two were doing here at this time!
Upon seeing Nu Wa, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances, and Jieyin spoke:
"Sister, since you achieved sainthood, we've been busy and haven't had much time. Today, being free, my brother and I have specifically come to discuss the Dao with you! We humbly request your guidance!"
Nu Wa, consumed by worry for Fuxi's safety, had no mood for discussions. She said:
"Please return, my two junior brothers! I have important matters to attend to and cannot accompany you."
Hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti flashed in front of Nu Wa. Jieyin, with a forced smile, said:
"Sister, please do discuss the Dao with us! The matters of the Primordial World are not for your concern!"
Nu Wa's expression instantly turned cold. She spoke with chilling intent:
"Did you two orchestrate this?"
Zhunti chuckled and replied:
"Sister, there's no need to be angry. The Wu and Demon clans are ignorant and uncivilized. My brother and I are merely following the will of heaven."
Nu Wa had no time for pleasantries with them, her mind solely focused on Fuxi. She asked:
"Are you two intending to stop me from going to the Primordial World?"
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged another look. Zhunti said:
"If Senior Sister Nu Wa insists on going to the Primordial World, then my brother and I will have no choice but to offend you!"
Nu Wa's face turned ashen. She stared at Zhunti and asked:
"Do you intend to be my enemy?"
Jieyin quickly intervened:
"Sister, you misunderstand. We merely wish for you to discuss the Dao with us here. We have no intention of offending you!"
Jieyin dared not completely alienate Nu Wa, choosing instead to soften her anger.
Nu Wa glared hatefully at Jieyin and Zhunti, her voice cold:
"You two had best pray my elder brother is unharmed, or I will tear down your Mount Sumeru!"
With that, Nu Wa turned and returned to the Wa Huang Palace. She knew that with Jieyin and Zhunti present, she would be unable to leave the palace.
Seeing Nu Wa return, Jieyin and Zhunti revealed relieved smiles. They were naturally pleased to avoid a confrontation. They immediately sat cross-legged before the Wa Huang Palace.
Nu Wa's expression soured further as she saw Jieyin and Zhunti shamelessly occupying the area in front of her palace.
In the Nine Nether Underworld, Houtu, looking towards Buzhou Mountain, was filled with worry. She didn't know if the essence blood of the Wu she left behind would be enough to help the eleven Ancestral Wu form the Twelve Heaven God-Devil Formation.
If her departure led to the demise of her eleven elder siblings, Houtu feared she would never forgive herself.
Now, as the Lord of the Underworld, the Great Dao would not allow her to interfere in the Wu-Demon war. If she defied the heavens, the Wu clan might be annihilated because of her.
The only thing Houtu could do now was prepare for the souls that would be ushered into the Underworld after the Wu-Demon war.
The war would claim countless lives. The Underworld had only recently been established, and it would surely be overloaded. She had to make preparations.
Upon the arrival of the Demon Court's army at Buzhou Mountain, Di Jun looked at the arrayed Wu clan and questioned Dijiang:
"Dijiang, you are the leader of the Wu clan, a formidable overlord. Why did you inexplicably allow Kuafu to harm my child? The conflict between the Wu and Demon clans is a matter between us brothers and you Twelve Ancestral Wu. Why involve the younger generation?"
Dijiang looked at Di Jun and sighed. Now that Kuafu was dead, no matter what he said, it would be difficult to prove his innocence.
Di Jun sighed slightly and said:
"I have nothing more to say!"
Zhurong, seeing Dijiang's silence, immediately rebuked:
"Di Jun, now that your Demon Court army has reached our doorstep, what more do you expect my elder brother to say? If you want to fight, then fight! Do you truly believe we fear you?"
Di Jun laughed in anger. He had originally hoped Dijiang would provide an explanation!
Di Jun immediately stopped wasting words with the Ancestral Wu.
With a wave of his hand, Di Jun ordered the assembled demons of the Demon Court to charge towards the Wu clan.
Dijiang also waved his hand, and the Wu clan surged towards the demons. The two races immediately clashed.
The two races harbored deep-seated animosity, but it had been suppressed by Di Jun and Dijiang, thus maintaining peace.
Now that the war had erupted, both sides fought with all their might, eager to annihilate the other.
The great shamans of the Wu clan engaged in fierce battles with the demon generals of the Demon Court. However, the Wu clan had a numerical advantage in great shamans. Fuxi and Kunpeng, seeing this, immediately moved to engage the Twelve Demon Generals. Although Kunpeng had entered the fray, his attention remained fixed on Di Jun.
Fuxi and the Twelve Demon Generals all believed Kunpeng was concerned for Di Jun's safety, and thus paid him no mind.
The only ones not yet engaged on the battlefield were, on the Wu clan's side, the eleven Ancestral Wu and Hou Yi, and on the Demon Court's side, Taiyi and his wife, Di Jun and his wife, and all the banner holders of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation.
Dijiang narrowed his eyes, looking at Di Jun and Taiyi, and then shouted:
"Twelve Heaven God-Devil Formation!"
Hou Yi and the other Ancestral Wu immediately acted, and the Twelve Heaven God-Devil Formation was instantaneously erected.
Di Jun and Xihe's expressions changed. Di Jun said:
"Taiyi, immediately set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation! Your elder brother and I will buy you some time!"
Taiyi nodded and immediately took out the Sun Star Banner. Changxi, seeing Taiyi's action, also took out the Moon Star Banner. The two of them then began setting up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation with the assembled demons behind them.
Di Jun's expression grew solemn. He immediately brought out the River Chart and Luo Book, and together with Xihe, began setting up the Hunyuan River-Luo Formation.
The moment Di Jun brought out the River Chart and Luo Book, the distant Kunpeng immediately charged towards Di Jun.
After Kunpeng departed, the great shamans who had been entangled with him could no longer keep pace. They joined forces with other great shamans to deal with Fuxi and the Twelve Demon Generals. Fuxi and the others immediately felt immense pressure.
Fuxi and the others believed Kunpeng was going to aid Di Jun and Xihe. Despite the increased pressure, they harbored no complaints.
Di Jun and Xihe's entire attention was focused on the Twelve Heaven God-Devil Formation opposite them. They paid no heed to Kunpeng. Kunpeng immediately surged towards the River Chart and Luo Book and snatched them.
Once the River Chart and Luo Book were in Kunpeng's hands, they struggled fiercely, attempting to break free from his grasp. Kunpeng then summoned his three corpses, which he had severed, and together they suppressed the River Chart and Luo Book!
Di Jun's face contorted in shock upon seeing Kunpeng making a move to seize the River Chart and Luo Book. He attempted to control them and break free from Kunpeng's grip, but they were held fast by Kunpeng and his three corpses!
Di Jun shouted:
"Kunpeng, what are you doing?"
Kunpeng ignored Di Jun. Once the River Chart and Luo Book were secured, he utilized his speed advantage and fled, disappearing without a trace within moments.
Di Jun stared in the direction Kunpeng vanished with a grim expression. Kunpeng, already skilled in speed, was far beyond Di Jun's reach. Di Jun wanted to pursue, but he feared that Taiyi's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation was not yet complete and would be no match for the Twelve Heaven God-Devil Formation.
