Chapter 301: Chapter 286: The 12 Zodiac Guardian Formation

The Earth Immortal Realm’s army could no longer hold out, from the Heavenly Dao Saints down to the Taiyi Golden Immortals, all self-detonated!

Countless Primordial Spirit Thoughts bombarded down, tens of zettas, hundreds of zettas, as if it was the end of the world!

The Heavenly Dao Laws were directly torn apart by such formidable power, with seven Saints self-destructing, there were over five zettas of thoughts, plus the army of a hundred billion, the Chaos Heaven Demon’s army of ten zettas was almost completely annihilated, with the Heavenly Dao Demon Gods continuously falling. Now, only about twenty Heavenly Dao Demon Gods remained, and all were severely wounded.

The Great Dao Demon God threw this group of Heavenly Dao Demon Gods out of the Earth Immortal Realm to recuperate. Here, he alone was enough to settle the matter.

The Twelve Capital Heavenly Divine Slayer Formation was raised, with twelve Demon Gods each standing ninety thousand zhang tall, their Demonic Qi ominous, bloodlight flooding the heavens.

"Boom!"

With the activation of the formation, Xuan Ming stood upon his own true form’s shoulder, pinching spells, and softly chanted, "Twelve Capital Heavens, Divine Slayer of the world! Heaven and Earth profound yellow, the vast universe Primordial Wilderness! Kill, kill kill kill, kill kill kill!"

Seven continuous shouts of ’kill’ were spat out, and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Divine Slayer Formation activated, trapping the Great Dao Demon God within.

However, the Great Dao Demon God had a very fine plan in mind, thinking to himself, "That Sun Wukong has already come infinitely close to the Great Dao Sage realm, only he has not yet forged his own Dao! Since Xuan Ming has some karma with him, if I start by killing Xuan Ming, I do not know what unforeseen changes might arise! It’s better to first scatter the Twelve Capital Heavens and then capture and kill Sun Wukong!"

These twelve Demon Gods exerted their might together, wielding extremely powerful Magical Treasures like the proliferation cushion and the Reincarnation pen to bombard their way through.

The Great Dao Demon God spit out True Words, shouting, "Great Destruction Technique! I am the overlord, annihilating everything in the world!"

The combined might of the twelve Demon Gods was comparable to that of a Great Dao Sage, but it was just that, comparable, still lacking in the end. They all struck together, with the Heavenly Serpent underneath them roaring, emitting thunderous sounds.

Wukong somberly said, "The Earth Immortal Realm is now in name only, not substance... Only I and Xuan Ming remain of the Heavenly Dao Saints. These Twelve Capital Heavens absolutely cannot withstand the Great Dao Demon God. Turning Wheel Sage King, I have yet to touch even a shadow of it!"

"Bang!"

The Great Dao Demon God’s Great Destruction Technique unfolded, three thousand minor worlds collapsed, turning into endless Annihilation Force that bombarded everything, clashing with Di Jiang’s true body with a punch, causing Di Jiang’s true body to directly collapse. But with the Twelve Capital Heavens rotating, it immediately recovered, and then Zhu Rong unleashed divine fire to burn.

"Great Burning Heaven Technique! All the flames in the world, are under my control!" The Great Dao Demon God let out a light shout and unleashed divine might once more.

The fourth Demon God, favored by the Great Dao Principles, was where a sliver of hope for survival lay, yet it was also where destruction lay. Therefore, his mana was much stronger than the other three Demon Gods, perhaps already on par with Hong Jun the Ancestor!

Hong Jun was definitely the top expert of the Eight Desolations of the universe. Even Demon Gods have repeatedly suffered losses at his hands, yet beings at the Great Dao Sage realm are difficult to annihilate. Without fighting for ten days and a half month, it is difficult to determine who is superior. In former times, Wukong, during his dream of the Dao, took a full three months to battle Amitabha Buddha, which is telling.

The combat power of the fourth Demon God was truly too fierce, even Hong Jun didn’t expect it, and the Capital Heavenly Divine Slayer could hardly suppress it!

"Roar!!!"

The true form underneath Xuan Ming roared, its bone spurs growing longer, the twelve Demon Gods roared furiously, their howls shaking the heavens, waves of sound transformed into Talismans suppressing everything down. If it had been Wukong, he might have been crushed to death! It was equivalent to twelve Heavenly Dao Saints, and there was also the world’s number one formation, it was simply too terrifying.

The fourth Demon God’s complexion also changed slightly, but he did not panic. His Dao Technique was at the peak of refinement. Casting a technique, he enveloped himself with the Great Defense Technique, and despite endless thunder and fire chopping down, they could not breach his defenses.

"Hiss!"

Di Jiang, known for the world’s extreme speed, shuttling between yin and yang, reversing Heaven and Earth, seized the opportunity, attacking behind the fourth Demon God. The Reincarnation pen tore open the fourth Demon God’s black robe, bringing up a large patch of Demonic Blood, the wound deep enough to reach the bone.

Xuan Ming was neither joyful nor sorrowful in her heart, her fingers manipulating spells, as the Demon God underneath her continuously unleashed divine might. Meanwhile, she was quietly calculating in her heart.

"The True Spirits of the people of the Earth Immortal Realm have all been smelted into the Reincarnation by me. If Wukong re-opens Heaven and Earth, perhaps they can be restored. By then, it will depend on his Creation, and our luck. This is the last hope... Turning Wheel Sage King, I hope you can figure it out."

Xuan Ming had already fused Reincarnation into her own body, Reincarnation being one of the most mysterious and inscrutable existences. Even with the support of the Great Dao Principles, it is difficult for even a Great Dao Saint to thoroughly penetrate its mysteries. Although Xuan Ming had melted the Reincarnation into her body, she could still not clearly grasp the intricacies of Reincarnation.

"How dare you injure the flesh of my true body!" The fourth Demon God roared angrily, a punch thundered out, its might immense, and the whole Earth Immortal Realm crumbled at this moment. Large pieces of islands turned into Chaos, returning to the Great Dao, needless to say, the common people were turned to ashes in an instant.

When Deities fight, mortals suffer.

When Saints fight, all things perish!

This is the power of a Great Dao Saint, with one palm strike, nothing remains.

Di Jiang said gravely, "Sister, this fourth Demon God is truly formidable! Although our Twelve Capital Heavens have reached their peak, erupting with the power of a Heavenly Dao Saint, it is still not enough to deal with this Demon God."

Xuan Ming said, "Don’t worry! Just bring out all our strength, we must make this beast pay the price!"

The existence of a Great Dao Demon God is specifically ordained by the Great Dao Principles. Once deceased, as long as the Great Dao Principles are in motion, they can be revived immediately. Under the care of the Great Dao Principles, they are invincible beings. Everything in the world originates from the Dao, and the Great Dao is the eternal and sovereign of the Dao.

If the Great Dao Principles also possessed intelligence, that would be terrifying indeed!

Its destruction of the Earth Immortal Realm is based on the rules of the principles. Soon, the Yuan will bring down the Immeasurable Calamity, and all beings must face the ordeal. No one can hide, and even Great Dao Sages face the peril of oblivion for one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.

The punch from the fourth Demon God was barely blocked by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who used all their strength, only to be so shaken that their Primordial Spirits became muddled, and they vomited blood like rivers. Their bodies, each ninety thousand zhang tall, extended deep into the cosmos, so when they spewed a mouthful of blood, it could truly transform into lakes and rivers.

"Capital Heavenly Destroying Demon God Thunder!"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches exerted their force together, unleashing twelve Capital Heavenly Destroying Demon God Thunders. The power of these thunders was immense; even Eastern Emperor Taiyi had been gravely injured by them in the past. Afterwards, he was caught off guard by Zhun Ti and Amitabha and beaten to death with a muffled club.

The Capital Heavenly Destroying Demon God Thunder emitted a terrifying fluctuation, the twelve Divine Thunders small and round like fists, yet they condensed millions of Talismans and the infinite power of earth, water, wind, and fire. Once they exploded, their power was unimaginable!

"Even the Great Defense Technique might hardly block these twelve Divine Thunders. Now that the formation is laid out, the void becomes solidified, even the Great Transcendence Technique cannot be executed... It seems that these twelve thunders cannot be dodged, and must be met with force!" Even the fourth Demon God harbored deep fear towards these twelve Divine Thunders.

If he were to be killed by these twelve Divine Thunders, he would be reduced to oblivion and then resurrected through the Great Dao Principles. Although it would not take long, there might well be unforeseen changes. If a fourth Great Dao Sage appeared, all their efforts would be in vain. Therefore, he was very cautious.

Great Destruction Technique, Great Burning Heaven Technique, Great Wind and Rain Technique, Great Thunder and Lightning Technique, Great Destruction Technique, Great Ancestral Curse Technique, Great Divine Sound Technique, Great Seal Deity Technique, Great Combat Technique, Great Divine Fist Technique... He cast three hundred kinds of "Great" Dao Techniques at once, turning pale with the exhaustion of his essence.

"Boom!"

The twelve Capital Heavenly Destroying Demon God Thunders descended, unleashing the strongest strike ever known to the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

They knew that the Earth Immortal Realm had been destroyed. They were no longer bodies immortal, incapable of resurrection. Once dead, they were truly dead, truly dissolving into the Dao, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches would disappear from the world.

Countless miniature worlds around the fourth Demon God shattered and were reborn, then shattered again, cycling through this process billions of times, all in the blink of an eye.

When the twelve Capital Heavenly Destroying Demon God Thunders exploded, their formidable power forced even Wukong to retreat again and again. He summoned all his Magical Treasures to block this spreading shockwave, for if it touched him, he might turn to ash! The Eastern Emperor Bell was shaken by this shockwave, and the True Spirit of Eastern Emperor Taiyi was directly erased. The bell shattered, turning to dust.

The Chaos Supreme Treasure, Eastern Emperor Bell, was blasted into slag by the mere aftereffects!

However, it was also because Wukong had not yet reached the realm of a Great Dao Sage. If he had refined the Eastern Emperor Bell into a Great Dao Divine Artifact, it would have been as indestructible as a Great Dao Sage, difficult to destroy. At this moment, the Eastern Emperor Bell was only at the level of a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact, and couldn’t endure the impact of this shockwave.

"Pfft!"

Wukong could not help but vomit fresh blood, his Primordial Spirit and physical body injured. Fortunately, the Eastern Emperor Bell had blocked all the dreadful fluctuations; otherwise, he would have turned to ash, his soul dispersing into the Dao.

The Great Dao Demon God, although he frantically used various Dao Techniques to block, also suffered injuries. Struck by the twelve Capital Heavenly Destroying Demon God Thunders, he vomited fresh blood, his body blurry with blood and flesh, his physique splintered.

"Great Healing Technique!" The Great Dao Demon God bellowed, black Demon Flames erupting from his body as the wounds began to slowly close.

The twelve Ancestral Witches delivered their strongest strike, yet they failed to slay the fourth Great Dao Demon God; the injury was neither light nor severe, leaving his essence unharmed.

"Terrifying!"

"This time, it’s truly difficult to escape death," Houtu sighed slowly.

The fourth Demon God let out a Great Divine Sound Technique, shaking the Primordial Spirits of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, causing them to grow faint as if on the verge of sleep.

With one move of the Great Destruction Technique, he blew up Di Jiang’s physical body, a destroying flame engulfing Di Jiang.

"Big brother!!!"

All Ancestral Witches screamed, trying to help, but their Primordial Spirits were so drowsy that they struggled to make a move.

Di Jiang, the leader of the Ancestral Witches, fell!

"I curse you that your soul disperses into the Dao, and your body collapses!" The fourth Demon God turned back, pointing a finger at Zhu Rong.

A Power of Curses burst forth, Zhu Rong’s body collapsed, his Primordial Spirit dissolving into the Dao, light rain rising up, his soul returning to the Dao.
