Chapter 67: Xuan Chu Blocks Hong Jun, the Final Battle Between the Lich King and the Demon King Begins

Hou Yi spent a thousand years to finally recover from his injuries. However, the Demon Slayer Sword, which the demons had used to forge the essence of humans after slaughtering them, had not yet been made. Xuan Chu planned to take advantage of this opportunity to strike first and start the war between the demons and the witches ahead of time. Without the Demon Slayer Sword, the demons would pose a much smaller threat to the ancestral witches.

A year later, the twelve major tribes of the Wu tribe, along with countless smaller tribes and billions of elite Wu tribe warriors, gathered at Mount Buzhou. Inside the Pangu Palace, Xuan Chu sat high on a cloud platform, while the twelve Ancestral Witches, Hou Yi, and Tong Tian sat on futons below.

"Dijiang, is everything ready?" Xuan Chu asked Dijiang.

"Uncle, everything is ready. As long as you give the order, our Wu Clan army can storm the Thirty-Three Heavens and annihilate the Demon Clan in one fell swoop," Di Jiang said confidently.

"Very good!" Xuan Chu nodded in satisfaction, then said to Tongtian and Houtu, "Tongtian, Tonghu, your task is to guard the outer perimeter of the Thirty-Three Heavens and stop any Heavenly Dao Saints who might come to support the Demon Clan. As for Hongjun, I will ensure that he cannot leave Zixiao Palace."

In the primordial world, Hongjun was blessed by the Heavenly Dao, and his strength had already surpassed that of Xuanchu. Therefore, Xuanchu wanted to avoid fighting Hongjun in the primordial world as much as possible. So Xuanchu thought of going directly to Zixiao Palace to block the gate. In the chaos, even if Hongjun was blessed by the Heavenly Dao, he could not do anything to Xuanchu.

"Yes, Uncle!" Tongtian and Houtu replied.

"Minghe!" Xuan Chu called softly. A stream of light flew out from the Pangu Blood Pool, landed in front of Xuan Chu, and bowed, saying, "Disciple Minghe greets Master!"

"Minghe, how is your cultivation of the Law of Slaughter progressing?" Xuan Chu asked.

"Reporting to Master, this disciple has cultivated the Law of Slaughter to the minor completion level and advanced to the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. However, with the Yuan Tu and A Bi weapons in my hands, I am able to unleash the strength of the late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm." Although Minghe's realm dropped from the peak of Quasi-Saint to the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal after losing his Three Corpse Dharma Body, he was still a powerful being in the past. In addition, with the origin of the Law of Slaughter given by Xuan Chu, Minghe was able to advance to the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm in such a short time.

"Very good. Among the demon race, besides Di Jun and Tai Yi, there are several quasi-saints. Relying solely on Xing Tian and other great witches is probably insufficient. I need your help. Are you willing?" Xuan Chu said. Although the demon race's strength is obviously weaker than the witch race, the witch race has a major weakness: the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation has restrained twelve Hunyuan Golden Immortals of the witch race. The demon race's Zhou Tian Star Formation only requires Di Jun, Tai Yi, and three hundred and sixty-five Daluo Golden Immortals. The demon race still has a considerable number of quasi-saints left, so Xuan Chu had no choice but to involve Ming He as well.

"This disciple is willing. If Master doesn't mind, this disciple would also like to bring the Asura Clan to participate in the war. Although the strength of the Asura Clan is not comparable to that of the Witch Clan, the four Asura Kings under my command are all late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and they can also contribute their strength," Styx said. Xuan Chu was like a second parent to him. Moreover, from the moment Styx became Xuan Chu's disciple, Styx and the Witch Clan had been bound together by fate. Therefore, Styx was not only willing to participate in the war, but also took the initiative to suggest that the Asura Clan also participate.

"Alright, then bring the Asura clan with you." Since Styx was so agreeable, Xuan Chu naturally wouldn't refuse and agreed to Styx's request.

"Thank you, teacher!" Styx said.

After arranging everything, Xuan Chu said to everyone, "I will go to the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace to restrain Hongjun. Once you receive my message, immediately attack the Thirty-Third Heaven."

"Yes!" the crowd replied.

Xuan Chu transformed into a streak of light and headed straight for the Chaos. After arriving in the Chaos, Xuan Chu quickly found the location of Zixiao Palace. Xuan Chu did not disturb Hongjun, but instead held the Hunyuan Sword and stood quietly at the entrance of Zixiao Palace. At the same time, his divine sense covered the area around Zixiao Palace for hundreds of millions of miles to ensure that Hongjun could not escape.

Although Xuan Chu did not actively alarm Hong Jun, Zi Xiao Palace was, after all, Hong Jun's territory, and since Xuan Chu had already blocked the entrance, Hong Jun couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

"Why is Xuan Chu not staying in the Pangu Palace? What is he doing outside my Zixiao Palace?" Inside Zixiao Palace, Hongjun sensed Xuan Chu outside the palace gates and frowned, puzzled. But since Xuan Chu had come, Hongjun couldn't just ignore him. So he summoned his attendant Haotian and said, "Haotian, there is an old friend of mine outside the gates. Go and welcome him into Zixiao Palace. Remember, you must be respectful."

"Yes!" Haotian replied.

The gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened, and Haotian stepped out. As soon as he came out, he saw Xuan Chu standing there holding the Hunyuan Sword. Remembering Hongjun's instructions, Haotian bowed and said, "Haotian, the attendant of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, greets Senior. I have come to welcome Senior on the orders of Dao Ancestor!"

"Haotian?" Upon hearing Haotian's name, Xuan Chu seemed to be deep in thought. Isn't this the future Heavenly Emperor? However, no matter how powerful Haotian becomes in the future, he is still just a child now.

"No need," Xuan Chu said indifferently. "I'm fine standing here. Go tell Hongjun not to pay any attention to me."

Haotian, feeling awkward and not daring to question Xuan Chu, had no choice but to close the gates of Zixiao Palace and report the truth to Hongjun.

When Hongjun found out, he was furious. He had taken the initiative to invite Xuan Chu, but he didn't expect Xuan Chu to be so disrespectful. However, he couldn't do anything about Xuan Chu. This was no longer the prehistoric world. Even with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun couldn't defeat Xuan Chu. He could only say "whatever" and then sulk to himself.

On the other side, after Xuan Chu went to the Chaos Realm, the Wu Clan was also making its final mobilization.

Dijiang, suspended in mid-air, addressed the billions of Wu tribe soldiers below: "Wu tribe warriors! The demon race is inhumane, harming all living beings. As descendants of the father god Pangu, we Wu tribe have the duty to protect the primordial world. To punish evil and promote good, today, I, the ancestral Wu, am commanded by one of the primordial gods, the Wu Ancestor Xuan Chu Dao Zun, to lead you up to the Thirty-Three Heavens, annihilate the demon race, and restore peace and order to the primordial world!"

"witch!"

"witch!"

"witch!"

After Dijiang finished speaking, the Wu tribe army below cheered.

"Witch Clan, heed my command! Set out! Follow this Ancestral Witch to the Thirty-Third Heaven!" Seeing that the army's morale was high, Di Jiang waved his hand and led the Ten Ancestral Witches, Hou Yi, and a group of Great Witches to take the lead, directly charging up the Heavenly Ladder to the South Heavenly Gate.

As the most important gateway to the Heavenly Court, the South Heavenly Gate was guarded by the Ten Great Demon Saints in rotation for a thousand years each, as ordered by Emperor Jun. Now it was Jiuying's turn. Upon seeing the Witch Clan attacking, Jiuying hurriedly sent a message to Taiyi. At the same time, in order to delay the Witch Clan's offensive, Jiuying took the initiative to rush forward. However, he was quickly killed in front of the Eleven Ancestral Witches and Houyi. With Jiuying's death, the Witch Clan successfully broke through the South Heavenly Gate and rushed towards the Lingxiao Palace.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Taiyi was handling the affairs of the Heavenly Court. Ever since Dijun went to the Sun Star to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, and the Demon Queen Xihe was still unable to let go of the death of the nine little golden crows, the affairs of the entire demon race had fallen on Taiyi's shoulders.

"Oh no! The Witch Clan is attacking!" Suddenly, Taiyi received a message from Jiuying, learning that the Witch Clan had already stormed the Southern Heavenly Gate. He was greatly alarmed and rushed to the Lingxiao Palace, where he happened to see Bai Ze. He immediately asked, "Bai Ze, how is the situation now?"

"Donghuang, the situation is very bad. The Wu Clan has come out in full force this time. The eleven Ancestral Witches and Houyi are leading the charge, followed closely by a group of Great Witches. Jiuying has also perished. Now the Wu Clan has breached the Southern Heavenly Gate and is marching towards the Lingxiao Palace."

"What? Jiuying has perished?" Taiyi was shocked. This was one of the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Clan, second only to the Demon Emperor, Three Sovereigns, Two Empresses, and One Master. Yet one of them was lost so soon after the battle began. This loss was too great.
