Reliant merely on the power of the Earth Dao, naturally it would not be enough to contend with the Heavenly Dao, yet by adding the strength of the two Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals, Yang Mei the Great Immortal and Yuan Feng, and with the element of surprise, it might indeed be possible to accomplish this feat.

Especially since Yang Mei the Great wields the Space-Time Great Dao—if only the Heavenly Dao Seal could be temporarily broken open, in conjunction with the ancestral marks that the Nine Ancestor Witches left in the Primordial World, it is very likely that their True Spirits could be retrieved.

Now, with Houtu suddenly launching an attack with the Earth Dao, the Heavenly Dao was caught off guard, and a slight crack had appeared in the seal over the Time River.

"What profound calculations!"

Xuanqing’s brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the imprints of Qiang Liang and Kua Fu within the "Refining Dao Furnace," which were left behind when Xuanqing went to the Witch Clan after having saved Kua Fu’s True Spirit.

These two marks, originally in the "Innate Thunder Pool," had been melted into the "Refining Dao Furnace" along with the treasure itself, as Xuanqing had become a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

Additionally, within the incense of his great Daluo Heaven, there was still a mark left by Zhu Rong, left during an exchange of Devastating Divine Fire’s origin with Zhu Rong when they discovered Xi He’s intention to secretly attack Hou Yi with the use of a Good Corpse.

He conjectured that Ancestor Witch Zhu Jiuyin, prior to the great battle between the Witch and Demon Clan, had utilized the Time Great Dao to foresee the fate of both clans.

Having seen the possibility of Xuanqing’s future transcendence,

Therefore, to seek a sliver of hope for the Ancestor Witches, Zhu Jiuyin had specifically instructed Qiang Liang and three others to leave a mark each due to their karma with Xuanqing.

Xuanqing had long been aware.

However, between him and the Ancestor Witches, there were no conflicts of interest, but rather a connection of karma, so he didn’t erase these marks.

"Soul, return!"

At this moment, Houtu stood upon an ancient and vast altar, wielding the "Reincarnation Plate," and what floated above her head amidst the celebratory clouds was the "Pangu Hall." Standing on her left and right were two Earth Dao Saints Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as two Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals, Yuan Feng and Yang Mei the Great Immortal.

The Reincarnation Great Dao coupled with the Space-Time Great Dao, breaking through the Heavenly Dao’s blockade and piercing through endless timelines, as countless Buddhist scriptures materialized in the void.

Clearly, these five individuals were combining their efforts, intending to forcefully retrieve someone from the Time River.

The Heavenly Dao was immediately enraged.

Thunderous boom!

Endless divine punishments rumbled down, stirring myriad phenomena, aiming to completely erase the five from existence.

At the same time, an ancient and vast palace and a jade disc with a gap in it emerged, attempting to suppress the Time River and correct the cosmic order, forcibly severing the tactics of Houtu and others.

These were the "Purple Cloud Palace" and the "Creation Jade Disc," and the actions of Houtu and others had undoubtedly touched upon the sore spot of the Heavenly Dao and Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun.

Therefore, even though Hong Jun was merged with the Heavenly Dao and could hardly be distracted, he still had to expend a trace of his energy to deal with Houtu and others.

"Soul, return!"

Yuan Feng shouted, and endless "Nirvana Divine Fire" swept through the void, transforming into a great sun as if intending to guide the souls within the Space-Time River to return.

It wasn’t just Houtu who had this need; the Phoenix Clan did as well. Over the endless years, numerous Great Divine Ability wielders of the Phoenix Clan had fallen for various reasons.

If they could return successfully, the rise of the Phoenix Clan might not be mere fantasy.

"Stop them!"

Simultaneously, the voice of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun resonated in the ears of Heavenly Dao Saints like Taiching, Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa, and Tai Xuan.

"Alas!"

Taiching sighed softly, immediately animating the "Tai Chi Diagram," conjuring the "Far Shore Golden Bridge," and instantly descending upon the altar where Houtu and the others were: "A Saint does not defy the Heavenly Dao, defying the Heavenly Dao does not make one a Saint! Arbitrarily disrupting space-time will only destroy the order of the Primordial World. Fellow Daoists, there’s still time to cease!"

His words were meant for Houtu, but also served as a reminder to himself. As a Heavenly Dao Saint, one must act according to the rules set by the Heavenly Dao.

Upon hearing this, Houtu scoffed, "Are the ones who have fallen not your own brethren? If the fellow Yuanshi or Tongtian were to fall in a certain calamity, could you still preach such lofty principles?"

After achieving sainthood, Houtu had always been looking for methods to return the True Spirits of the Ancestor Witches, and now, having finally collaborated with Yang Mei the Great Immortal to breach the Heavenly Dao’s seal, would she give up just because of a word from Taiching?

"If that is so, then I must apologize for offending!"

With a slight frown, Taiching’s "Tai Chi Diagram" descended with boundless Heavenly Dao power, imbuing the forces of the Yin Yang and Four Symbols across the infinite timelines.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Jieyin Daoist chanted Buddha’s name, seated upon the "Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus," with grand Buddha light surrounding him, a force of the Silent Annihilation Great Dao manifested, and then bolstered the "Jieyin Divine Mallet," confronting the Innate Treasure "Tai Chi Diagram" head-on.

In an instant, myriad timelines shook violently, and the Buddha’s light intertwined with the light of immortals, with a golden Buddha’s apparition appearing in the Primordial True Realm, accompanied by endless Buddha light.

"Daoist, why not show some leniency?"

Jieyin Daoist did not wish to battle with Taiching, but at this moment, he stood on the same side as Houtu and naturally could not remain merely a bystander.

Moreover, if the nine Ancestor Witches could return, along with Ancestor Witches Xuanming and Ju Mang, and Xingtian, whose strength was on par with ordinary Ancestor Witches, then the Earth Dao faction would gain a battle force comparable to a Saint.

Once the "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array" was enacted again, they could also emulate the current "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" laid out in the Ancient Starry Sky, continuously converting Chaos Spiritual Energy, utilizing this energy to strengthen the origin of the Primordial Earth Dao.

In addition, there are the fallen Great Divine Ability wielders of the Phoenix Clan, who, if able to return under their Summoning, would substantially bolster the Earth Dao faction’s power.

With this, facing the Heavenly Dao, they too would have more confidence and be able to command more right to speak; the rise of the Western realms would be no empty talk.

"Rules are rules!"

Taiching Laozi shook his head and directly invoked his Divine Skills, engaging in fierce combat with Jieyin Daoist.

Immediately after, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tai Xuan, and Nuwa also descended near the altar, their terrifying pressure causing the void to incessantly tremble.

"Alas!"

Zhunti Daoist sighed lightly, confronting Yuanshi Tianzun head-on; the "Seven Treasures Marvel Tree" instantly evolved into a resplendent rainbow light across the vault of heaven.

As for Nuwa, she was intercepted by Yuan Feng, the boundless "Phoenix True Fire" instantly engulfed by the "Mountain and River Map."

The two had some friendship during the Dragon Han catastrophes, but now with their stands opposed, they showed no consideration for their past relations.

"True Martial Mysterious Thunder!"

Tai Xuan, upon seeing this, conjured the "Myriad Tribulations Chessboard," evolving into a vast Thunder Sea, striking fiercely at the altar upon which Houtu stood.

In an instant, the heavens and the earth lost their color, the sun and the moon lost their light, with calamitous Tribulation Qi engulfing the altar.

However...

It was all for naught!

At the critical moment, Yang Mei wielded his Divine Skills, shifting the altar to another space, avoiding disruption to their Summoning by Tai Xuan.

This time, the crux of the Summoning lay with Houtu and Great Immortal Yang Mei; Houtu utilized the Reincarnation Great Dao and the imprint of several Ancestor Witches as guides, while Great Immortal Yang Mei employed the Space-Time Great Dao to retrieve the True Spirits of the Ancestor Witches. Should they leave the altar, all their efforts thus far would be wasted!

Great Immortal Yang Mei couldn’t help frowning: "Houtu Daoist, don’t you have some kind of backup plan?"

Even without Xuanqing taking action, even with Hong Jun merging with the Heavenly Dao, even as Tongtian Sect Master secluded himself, even with Demon Ancestor Luo Hou’s true body deep within Chaos, the power the Earth Dao could muster was still far weaker than the Heavenly Dao!

Upon hearing this, Houtu immediately shouted: "Zhen Yuanzi Daoist, I ask you to lend us a helping hand!"

Before her words fell, the boundless Xuanhuang Qi surged, transforming into an "Earth Fetus Membrane" that enshrouded Houtu and Yang Mei’s altar.

Boom!

Within the void, Zhen Yuanzi’s figure slowly emerged, holding the "Earth Book," suppressing all phenomena, and a breath of a Saint of the Earth Dao immediately swept across all directions.

Observing from afar, many powerful beings showed shocked expressions: "Has Zhen Yuanzi become a Saint?"

Why had there been no sign of it?

Although the Earth Dao was not perfect, supporting another Saint was not a problem. Zhen Yuanzi was Houtu’s means to turn the tide at the critical moment.

For no other reason!

Zhen Yuanzi, wielding the "Earth Book," could connect with earth veins, giving rise to the "Earth Book Array." With this formation in place, Zhen Yuanzi inherently stood on invincible ground.

To defeat him, one would have to break the Primordial Earth Veins, reenacting ground, water, fire, wind, but such acts would not be allowed by the Earth Dao of the Primordial World, neither by the Heavenly Dao nor the Human Dao would they stand idly by.

Xuanqing, watching this scene, couldn’t help but laugh: "The Moral Kidnapping Array truly lives up to its reputation! Zhen Yuanzi, even before, could connect with nearly one-tenth of the Primordial Earth Veins; now, as a Saint of the Earth Dao, the existence of the Primordial World is utterly tied to him!"

Truly ruling with the world!

Just now, within the Primordial World, all Earth Veins except for Shouyang Mountain, Golden Turtle Island, and Kunlun Mountain, where there are Saints’ Daoist tojos in the supreme Immortal Realms, have fallen under Zhen Yuanzi’s control.

These places, because they are suppressed by the great Dao of Saints, are currently beyond Zhen Yuanzi’s control, but it is only a matter of time before he subdues them too!

Xuanqing too had no intention to act. He also wanted to see, under these circumstances, what means the Daoist Ancestor of the Purple Cloud Palace would employ.

He didn’t believe that, after fusing with the Heavenly Dao, there was nothing he could do!

"Disrupting space-time serves to be punished!"

The Heavenly Dao trembled, and a majestic voice resounded, as the boundless power of the Heavenly Dao converged, forming three Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals whose presence did not inferior to Houtu and the others.

"Is this..."

Xuanqing was inwardly startled: "Yin Yang, Qian Kun, and Emperor Hong! No, this aura, it must be Hong Jun’s Three Corpses!"

The method of Slashing Three Corpses, having been created by Daoist Hong Jun, coupled with his merge with the Heavenly Dao, enabled him to continuously draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao to enhance his Three Corpses, working in harmony with the power of the Immortal Dao and exhibiting strength comparable to Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals. This was not strange.

Yet, Xuanqing had not expected that Hong Jun, after the Great Daoist-Demon War, integrated the essences of Yin Yang and Qian Kun with his Good and Evil Corpses.

As for Emperor Hong, he was the Self Corpse of Hong Jun, accumulating the power of the Infinite Divine Dao.

And that was something that should never be underestimated!
