Chapter 94

The battle continued, with various lights darting about in a chaotic scene. The situation for the ancient ancestor Di Jiang was critical, as he was trapped by four small banners, and the chaotic sword qi left terrifying wounds on his body.

"Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, two jade hands, vast as the sky, extended out from the void, striking towards the Sage of Tai Qing and the Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi.

Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi was greatly alarmed and quickly retreated. The chaotic banner emitted sword qi that enveloped his body, protecting him.

With a "Bang!" the jade hand landed, and the layers of chaotic sword qi around Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi shattered. His body trembled, and streams of immortal qi overflowed as he was sent flying.

On the other side, the Sage of Tai Qing was surrounded by dense yellowish-brown qi, which surged continuously. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The power of the Heavenly Dao roared and empowered him. Tai Qing immortal light wrapped around his right hand, and he met the jade hand with a palm.

With a loud "Boom!" the jade hand did not pause, striking back the Sage of Tai Qing's palm. The immense force made the Sage of Tai Qing retreat continuously, the yellowish-brown qi around him dispersing, nearly causing him to fall.

The jade hand paused for a moment and then struck down again towards the Sage.

This made the Sage of Tai Qing finally change his expression!

But at this moment, a series of shocking sword cries echoed from the distant void. Then, a myriad of brilliant sword qi emerged from the void, directly slashing towards the jade hand.

At the same time, the Sage of Tai Qing's eyes moved, and the Taiji diagram transformed into a golden bridge spanning the heavens and earth, restraining the jade hand.

On the other side, a twelve-petal golden lotus emerged from the void, enveloping Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi and protecting him. At the same time, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti stepped out from the void.

Both were empowered by the power of the Heavenly Dao, and their divine staves and Jieyin banners flew up, emitting a myriad of lights, striking towards the jade hand.

Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi also stabilized himself, fully unleashing the power of the chaotic banner, a先天至宝. The chaotic sword qi could destroy the heavens and earth, tearing apart space, and slashed towards the jade hand.

"Bold!"

A cold voice echoed from the void, and the two jade hands, surrounded by light, became even more solid, fiercely striking the several Sages.

Instantly, the entire area was filled with a loud boom, various lights surging, shocking the heavens and earth, making it hard to see clearly.

After a long while, the turmoil subsided, and the five Sages stood on one side, their treasures in hand, their auras surging, their expressions somewhat solemn.

On the opposite side, the two jade hands, though somewhat dimmed, still exuded a shocking aura, making all the Sages feel a chill.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the ancient ancestor Di Jiang seized the opportunity and suddenly broke free from the four small banners, his injuries severe. He took a step and moved towards the jade hands.

But Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi's eyes moved, and his expression turned cold. The apricot yellow banner flew up, blocking the ancestor's path. At the same time, the chaotic sword qi cut through the sky, striking towards the ancestor.

"Ha ha!"

A light laugh echoed from the void, and suddenly, two blood-red sword lights emerged, the blood light illuminating the heavens and earth, an endless killing aura permeating the air, clashing with the chaotic sword qi.

Seeing this, the ancient ancestor Di Jiang laughed and moved, directly passing through the apricot yellow banner's obstruction.

"Yinghe!" Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi's expression darkened, his eyes flashing, looking towards the void.

The other Sages were also like this.

A ripple appeared in the void, and a Daoist in a blood-red robe stepped out, carrying two swords on his back. A shocking killing aura faintly moved around him, and an endless sea of blood swayed with the wind, waves surging, making the area turn blood red.

Yinghe the Ancestor.

At this moment, the Sage of Tai Qing's eyes moved, looking at the void in all directions, his eyes flashing. He suddenly said calmly, "Since all of you have arrived, please show yourselves."

His voice was calm but carried a steady authority, spreading to all directions.

As the Sage spoke, a series of hidden auras appeared in the void, and several figures stepped out, their auras faintly moving, all being Great Emperors.

"Boundless Heaven Lord." Zhenyuanzi, with his radiant appearance and immortal demeanor, nodded to everyone in the field.

Then, the other Great Emperors were very calm, nodded to everyone, and stood aside.

These dozen or so Great Emperors were all Great Emperors from the era of the Witches and Beasts, the top group in the current three realms.

Although they might not have the same high realm as the Sages, they were all dominant figures, far surpassing newly ascended Great Emperors like Yinglong and Cangjie.

This group of people, when gathered together, could not be underestimated even by the Sages, who had to treat them with respect.

The atmosphere in the field became somewhat tense.

"If there are no other matters, I will return. I haven't seen Di Jiang for many years and would like to catch up," Yinghe the Ancestor broke the silence, smiling.

The Sage of Tai Qing's eyes moved, and he said calmly, "Di Jiang has disturbed the human race, and his crimes deserve punishment."

On the other side, the ancient ancestor Di Jiang's injuries had already healed, though his aura was somewhat weakened and his face pale. Hearing the Sage of Tai Qing's words, he coldly snorted and said, "Whether I should be punished or not, you do not have the right to decide."

"Deserves punishment!"

At this moment, Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi's aura surged, and he said coldly, the booming power of the Heavenly Dao making the dozen or so Great Emperors on the other side feel a chill.

"What do you think, fellow Daoists?" Yinghe the Ancestor looked at the group of Great Emperors led by Zhenyuanzi, smiling.

The dozen or so Great Emperors did not speak but looked at Zhenyuanzi.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhenyuanzi slowly said, "Although Di Jiang has some faults, he does not deserve to be punished."

The dozen or so Great Emperors fell silent, clearly agreeing with Zhenyuanzi's words.

Yinghe the Ancestor smiled but did not speak.

However, the Sages, including Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi and the Grand Master Tongtian, had somewhat dark expressions.

Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi's brows furrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Great Emperors.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the distant void, and it was Nüwa.

Nüwa arrived before the Sages and nodded to everyone in the field.

"Di Jiang's crimes are unforgivable, and he should be punished!" Nüwa said coldly, stating her position.

No one in the field was surprised; the blood feud between the Witches and Beasts was deep, and such words were normal.

However, the ancestor's face showed a mocking expression, not even looking at Nüwa, just coldly laughing.

"What do you think, fellow Daoist Tai Qing?" Yinghe the Ancestor asked.

Everyone in the field immediately looked at the Sage of Tai Qing, and the Sages also did so, clearly regarding him as the leader.

On the ground, the high-altitude turmoil did not affect the battle on the ground, which continued.

Chi You was struck by Heavenly Lord Yuan Shi's jade如意, clearly suffering a serious injury. Huangxuan and Yinglong immediately gained the upper hand, pressing down on Chi You.

A light from the sky fell, and it was the great witch Yushi, who was covered in injuries, his true body somewhat charred.

"Scram!" Yushi arrived, striking back Yinglong with an injured body, and said to Chi You, "Let's go."

"Stop him!"

A figure landed, and it was the Heavenly Maiden. At this moment, the Heavenly Maiden's aura was surging, and a sea of fire surrounded her. Seeing Yushi trying to leave, she immediately rushed over, waving her hand and sending a wave of fire to encircle the area.

Huangxuan and Yinglong also quickly moved forward, desperately blocking Chi You and Yushi.

"That kid, move your great array to trap them."

At this moment, the Heavenly Maiden shouted to the ghost array.

Ding Yue was observing the great battle in the sky and, seeing his master appear, immediately felt the situation was not good. Zhenyuanzi and Yinghe the Ancestor were both powerful figures, top-tier figures in the primordial world, even the Sages had to treat them with respect, and now they were on the opposite side of the Sages.

"It seems these powerful figures are somewhat worried and are banding together."

Ding Yue worriedly thought. Clearly, with the decline of the dragon race, the great figures in the three realms felt some crisis, fearing disaster from the heavens, so they banded together to prevent the fall of the ancestors.

At this moment, Ding Yue heard the Heavenly Maiden's shout and quickly shifted his attention. Looking around, the Jiuli army was already in disarray, being pursued by Huangxuan's army.

"Surround the Jiuli rebels!"

Ding Yue ordered, and immediately, hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals emerged from the ghost array, participating in the encirclement.

Ding Yue moved his hands, and the seventy-two ghost banners trembled, the ghost array shifting and shrinking to a size of several thousand miles, instantly enveloping Chi You and Yushi.

"Boom!!!"

Inside the array, the evil aura surged, boundless and endless, with ghostly cries and divine wails. In an instant, Yushi and Chi You were separated.

"Yushi is mine, that guy is yours."

The Heavenly Maiden said and immediately rushed towards Yushi, who was searching for a way to break the array. The sea of fire surged, even the evil aura inside the ghost array was burned away.

On this side, the boundless evil aura surged, trapping Chi You. Huangxuan, holding the Huangxuan holy sword, golden sword qi slashed out, easily severing Chi You's arm.

"Chi You has been refined with the essence blood of the ancestors, making him immortal. Your Majesty, use the holy sword to sever Chi You's limbs and head, seal him first, and then discuss his punishment."

Ding Yue, seeing Chi You's arm regrow quickly, suggested to Huangxuan. The three people present had no way to immediately kill Chi You, so they could only capture him first.

"Good!"

Huangxuan agreed. With the advantage of the array, he was completely in control, confident in capturing Chi You.

On the other side, the Heavenly Maiden's powers were fully unleashed, her combat strength soaring, relentlessly pursuing and attacking Yushi. Due to the restraint, Yushi could not gain any advantage.

"Die!"

Finally, Yushi roared, his massive body trembling, charging towards the Heavenly Maiden. Instantly, a vast divine power exploded.

The Heavenly Maiden was greatly alarmed and quickly retreated, not daring to resist.

Even the entire ghost array shook, and with a loud boom, a huge gap appeared in the array.

"Damn!"

In the sky, the ancient ancestor Di Jiang felt the commotion below, a killing aura flashing in his eyes, and he angrily shouted, suddenly striking down with a palm...
