Chapter 253: Lich Wars: Meat Grinder
The Twelve Ancestral Witches summoned a boundless army and led countless witches to soar into the sky.
The witch army was filled with murderous aura along the way, and the entire Buzhou Mountain was occupied by densely packed witches. However, the Heavenly Palace was too high and remote for these ordinary witch armies to rush in easily. This also formed a natural barrier.
But all this could not pose a problem for the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Under the leadership of Emperor Jiang, countless witches recited scriptures praising Pangu. Endless turbid air from the earth, carrying with it the aura of disaster, emerged from deep underground. The turbid waves were surging, and the evil aura was endless, constantly leading the witch army to soar into the sky.
If the Twelve Ancestral Witches wanted to enter the Heavenly Palace, they naturally wouldn't need to go through so much trouble. They could just charge upward with all their might and enter the Thirty-Six Heavens. But if they wanted to bring the witch army in with them, they had to think of some means.
They have learned their lesson. Previously, because there were only the twelve ancestor witches who entered the Heavenly Palace to attack the sky, they were trapped by Emperor Jun who took advantage of the geography and numbers. If it weren't for the intervention of Daozu, the twelve ancestor witches would have been almost wiped out. It can be said that they had neither the right time, the right place, nor the right people.
Now they also thought of using the witch army to offset the numerical advantage of the Heavenly Court. The endless turbid air from the earth that they brought could also temporarily pollute the boundless pure air in the Heavenly Court, making it impossible for the demon clan to use their strength to fight back.
Although they could not fight for long, they wanted a quick victory. In this way, the only advantage left for Heaven was the backing of the boundless starry sky. But they also had the Twelve Heavenly Gods, Demons and Witches Flags on them. With the help of these flags, this advantage could be offset.
Under the impact of these turbid air from the earth, it didn't take long before the door to the first heaven was forced to open. This heaven was called Taihuang Huangzengtian.
This heavenly realm is the most vast, one-tenth the size of the prehistoric world. There are countless monsters living in it. If one were to count them carefully, even these ancient witches would probably find it difficult to count them all.
But they don't need to know the number. They just need to kill any monster they see and chop them up as they go up.
But it is not a solution to keep fighting in this heavenly realm. After all, the longer the time is delayed, the stronger the formation that Di Jun and his companions can set up will be. But if they ignore this, they will most likely be attacked from both sides. Therefore, it is a hot potato.
The other ancestor witches and the great witch Hunyuan all turned their eyes to Zhu Jiuyin, hoping that he could come up with a good solution, even Di Jiang, the patriarch of the witch clan, was no exception.
Although Di Jiang is the patriarch of the Wu Clan, if we talk about the real leader of the Wu Clan, it must be Zhu Jiuyin. In the past, Hou Tu could discuss things with him, but today he is the only one who can make the decision.
Looking at this vast heaven, Zhu Jiuyin made a prompt decision and said, "Fuyou, you lead the entire Shebishi tribe to stay here and be responsible for destroying the six heavens of the Desire Realm and the eighteen heavens of the Color Realm. Poison all of these heavens. The other great witches will follow me and continue to soar into the sky!"
The thirty-six heavens in the heaven are not integrated, but are divided into twenty-eight heavens in the three lower realms, namely six heavens in the desire realm, eighteen heavens in the form realm, and four heavens in the formless realm. These three realms are the places where countless demons cultivate and live, and the formless realm is responsible for deploying troops.
The remaining eight heavens are the Six Emperors' Heavens where the leaders of the demon clan live, the Taisu Heaven of Nuwa, and the heavens where the Three Pure Ones stay in the boundless starry sky, namely the Dachi Heaven of Taiqing Realm, the Yuyu Heaven of Shangqing Realm, the Qingwei Heaven of Yuqing Realm, the Eternal Heaven of Hengming's Destiny, the Jiuwei Heaven at the foot of the mountain of Bixia Yuanjun, and the Heaven Beyond Heaven which represents concealment.
Except for the Six Emperor Heavens, the other seven heavens have either disappeared, are located in the chaos, or are in the boundless starry sky, and have no connection with the original thirty-six heavens at all.
In order to complete the thirty-six boundaries, Emperor Jun raised the Six Emperor Heavens to the highest, and the remaining seven vacancies were replaced by various caves and blessed lands. Although it was comparable to other heavens, it was still missing a part and was not perfect. Otherwise, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would not have been able to rush into the heavens so easily, let alone lead the witch army into it.
A very strange Hunyuan Great Wizard stepped out and shouted, "Yes!"
An ordinary witch is nine feet tall when he is born, and as the years of cultivation increase and his cultivation level improves, his stature will become taller and taller. When he cultivates to the Daluo realm, his true body can be tens of millions of feet tall, not to mention the Hunyuan realm.
But this great Hunyuan wizard was extraordinary. Not only was his body not as tall as other great wizards, he was even smaller than the newly born wizards. His body was only three inches tall, which was extremely peculiar.
But even the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not dare to look down on him, because when the great Hunyuan Witch named Fuyou was just born, the tribe where he lived was besieged by a kind of mosquito that could poison the Daluo Immortals. These mosquitoes poisoned all the witches in the tribe, but Fuyou, the newborn little witch, was not hurt at all by the bite of the mosquitoes. Instead, he smiled and caught the mosquito, chewed it up and swallowed it.
This matter also alarmed Shebisi, who directly appointed him as the next chief of the Shebisi tribe and raised him personally. They were not father and son, but better than father and son.
Fuyou has a different view on the Way of Poison since then. Even Shebishi, the ancestor of poison, has publicly stated that if he abandons his identity as an ancestor and only talks about his understanding of the Way of Poison, he cannot compare with Fuyou. But the Way of Poison hurts others as well as oneself. One day when refining poison, Fuyou was accidentally injured by it. If it were someone else, he would probably be killed by the poison. But Fuyou is not an ordinary person. In the end, he used poison to fight poison, but he gained some benefits. However, his body began to shrink every day, and even Shebishi was powerless.
After all, this is an injury to the Great Dao, and its owner can only solve it himself. However, Fuyou didn't care much about it. He still studied the Great Dao of Poison day after day and didn't care about this little thing at all.
With this powerful poison master in charge, the twelve ancient witches all felt relieved. Only Shebisi left a dark green gem for them before leaving.
"This is the poison spirit bead that I used half of the blood of the ancestor witch to refine with Zhu Rong. It contains all my insights into the great way of poison. If you are unable to do so, you must immediately flee with the Shebisi tribe and go to the underworld to find Chi You. If I am dead by then, then you will be the next ancestor witch of poison."
Facing Shebisi's caring heart, Fuyou couldn't help but shed tears and murmured, "Father, go well."
He knew that as a great wizard of the Hunyuan Sect, he had to rush to the battlefield where there was almost no chance of survival, and the fact that he could stay here must be because Shebisi had fought hard for it. He was not afraid of death, but he was more afraid of disappointing Shebisi's expectations.
Then Fuyou suppressed all his thoughts and shouted loudly to the Wu tribe who stayed nearby: "People of the Shebisi tribe, follow me to poison the world!"
"Yes!"
Countless witches roared loudly, scaring away countless monsters like birds. But with the poison spreading continuously, how many monsters could remain unscathed?
The transparent poisonous gas penetrated into every wisp of cloud in this heaven. Any demon that was approached by the poisonous gas would only feel a slightly dry throat at first, then his eyes would feel shrinking and he would feel drowsy, and finally he would fall to the ground and be unable to get up. It could be said that the monster was killed invisibly.
The twelve ancestor witches broke through one gate after another to the heavens, including Taiming Yuwan Heaven, Qingming Hechong Heaven, Xuantai Pingyu Heaven, Yuanming Wenju Heaven, Qiyao Moyi Heaven, Xuwu Yueheng Heaven, Taiji Mengyi Heaven, Chiming Heyang Heaven and so on.
Just as they broke through the eighteenth day of the Desire Realm: Wuji Tanshi Heaven, and continued to rush towards the four days of the Formless Realm with countless demon armies, they were finally intercepted by a ray of starlight on the first day of the four days of the Formless Realm: Haoting Xiaodu Tianwai.
Looking at the seemingly harmless starlight, Di Jiang cackled, "Di Jun, when did you, a three-legged crow, become a coward! You dare not come out and face your grandfathers!"
This piece of starlight is emitted by the Zhoutian Star Array.
As Dijiang's roar spread far away, the starlight fluttered slightly and suddenly ejected countless star shapes. The three celestial palaces of heaven and earth, the twenty-eight constellations, the four sacred beasts, the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the six stars of the Southern Dipper, the two stars of Xiaoyao and other supreme star shapes emerged one after another. Within the star shapes, there were star gods of the demon clan holding flags in their hands and stepping on light stones, rushing towards the witch clan army.
And these witch armies had been trained by the Twelve Ancestral Witches for many years, and they were not afraid at all. They saw the totems of the ancestor witches rising up in the army, and the evil spirit of the earth spread throughout the sky, suppressing the endless clear air that emerged, and they heard bursts of killing sounds everywhere, booming horns blew, and war drums sounded, resounding through the sky. Billions of witches met the star-shaped bodies, and for a time, the flesh and blood flew everywhere, the souls were shattered, the shouts and screams were intertwined, the wails and curses resonated, and their lives were like grass, and they all died at once.
The clash between the two armies was like a black torrent entangling a long river of starlight. The death of the two races of wizards and liches was like the waves caused by the two rivers, not worth mentioning.
Boundless murderous aura surged to the sky, arousing the greatest malice in the hearts of all the liches. At this moment, even the weakest demons did not retreat at all, but rushed forward madly, determined to tear off a piece of flesh and a drop of blood from the enemy at all costs!
Life for life, blood for blood, there is no end to it. If one dies, several more will come forward. At this moment, the battle is no longer for victory, but has become a meat grinder. Whoever is wiped out first loses.
As the two armies clashed, the evil energy in the entire festival suddenly expanded thousands of times. The already thick black air now spread throughout the entire wilderness. The long black river that was fixed by the Eternal Life Talisman began to expand and roll again, but the rolling was very regular, as if there was a fetus breathing continuously inside, as if a sacred being was being nurtured.
Faced with this disaster, countless gods closed their doors tightly and dared not go out, let alone look, for fear of being stuck by this evil spirit. Finally, they had to join in the battle and roll around before they could be free.
This battle is so dangerous that even if a Hunyuan Golden Immortal enters it, he will end up dead if things go wrong. At this moment, only the saints and their disciples dare to continue watching this battle.
