Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect

Two unparalleled great formations manifested above the sky dome, a murderous intent spread across the void universe, Devastating Divine Thunder colliding with the Power of Stars, triggering an incomparable catastrophe.

Divine Thunder annihilates the world, endless Chaos Qi surges, killing intent of the Great Dao emerges, terrifying all spirits.

The Power of Stars sweeps across the universe, transforming into myriad star rivers that oppress all paths, within which countless Great Thousand Worlds rise and fall, incessantly being born and extinguished, and under Emperor Jun's manipulation, they ferociously bombard the Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array.

"The Demon Clan is doomed!"

The Witch Demon great battle causes the entire Primordial World to become unstable, even Kunlun Mountain, millions of miles away, felt the power from the collision of the two unparalleled formations.

Disciples panicked, one after another, came to the Three Pure Ones Hall, seeking protection from the Saint.

Taiching perceived the Witch Clan deploying the Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array, evolving into the Pangu Dharma Form, and he immediately concluded that the Demon Clan's formation could not withstand it.

Xuanqing silently nodded in agreement.

Had it been the complete version of the Celestial Stars Battle Formation, it might have withstood a strike from the Pangu Dharma Form; however, currently, the Demon Clan's formation is merely in its nascent form.

The array is infinitely mysterious, with killing intent hidden within, requiring the forging of 365 Great Cycle Star Banners, corresponding to 365 Ancient Stars, complemented by 14,800 smaller Cycle Star Banners matching 14,800 Vice Stars, along with the power of millions from the Demon Clan, each demon general representing a star, using the Taiyang Star and Taiyin Star as the formation's eyes, mobilizing the entire power of the Ancient Starry Sky to constitute the complete Celestial Stars Battle Formation.

365 Great Cycle Star Banners as the core, 14,800 smaller Cycle Star Banners as its branches, and millions of demon generals as leaves, connected by the Power of Celestial Stars, the power is great enough to destroy all heavens and universes, the three lifetimes and ten directions can clearly feel its destructive power.

As Taiching's words fell, the Demon Clan's formation indeed crumbled, endless starlight shattered, and countless demons were buried under the Divine Thunder.

Even the Daluo Golden Immortals of the Demon Clan, although not directly perishing, suffered severe backlash, their physical bodies exploded, and their Primordial Spirits became dim and dull.

"Chaos Bell, suppress for me!"

At the crucial moment, it was still Donghuang Taiyi who took action, sacrificing the Innate Treasure to suppress the void, thus dissipating the remaining might of the Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array.

This treasure is Donghuang Taiyi's Companion Spirit Treasure, possessing the power to suppress the Hongmeng World, reverse the Power of Space-Time of all heavens, evolve the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and refine the capabilities of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

Sun, moon and stars, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, encircle its body, within it mountains, rivers and lands, myriad tribes of the Primordial Era emerge.

Multicolored divine light illuminates all heavens, Chaos divine authority intimidates the universe.

Placed above one's head, it can be called invincible by nature.

Regrettably, Donghuang Taiyi is not a Saint and cannot unleash all the power of this Innate Treasure, but even so, he is known as the foremost among all below the Saints.

"Kill!"

Emperor Jiang would not let go of this opportunity, leading the other eleven Ancestor Witches, ferociously slaughtering in all directions, countless Devastating Divine Thunders shoot outwards.

In the void, Innate Spiritual Light falls down like rain, each ray of Innate Spiritual Light represents a Daluo Golden Immortal, signifying the foundation of their existence being eradicated.

Daluo is undying, as is the Great Dao, but once their physical bodies and Primordial Spirits are annihilated, they can only lose their path, lost in the endless space-time.

If lucky, they might return one day, if unlucky, they might become part of the rules of the universe or directly transform into a new life.

However, currently, the twelve Ancestor Witches also cannot unleash the full power of the Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array, moments later, the Pangu Dharma Form disappeared between heaven and earth.

"Don't let these little demons escape!"

Zhu Rong, hot-tempered, even without the support of the great formation, still rode on two Fire Dragons, leading the charge towards the retreating demon army.

Devastating Divine Fire burns down all heavens, refining everything, each Demon God, under the Divine Fire, dissolves into nothingness.

"Big brother, hurry!"

Seeing the situation, Donghuang Taiyi immediately stood in front of Emperor Jun and shouted, "I'll hold them off!"

At this moment, the only choice was to regroup and defend the entrance to the Nine Layers Heaven using the "Primordial River Luo Formation", giving the rest of the Demon Clan a glimmer of hope for survival.

Therefore, Donghuang Taiyi had to step forward and buy time for Emperor Jun and Kunpeng among others.

"Okay!"

Emperor Jun did not hesitate.

He knew that trusting Donghuang Taiyi was the only option left.

The "Primordial River Luo Formation", with the "River Map" and the "Lo Shu" as the core Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, was profoundly mysterious, encompassing myriad transformations with endless variations. Although its offensive power might not match that of the "Slaying Immortal Sword Formation", "Celestial Stars Battle Formation", and "Twelve Devastating Divine Slaughter Array", its defensive capabilities were unmatched. Even a Saint would need time to break through it.

"Scraggly bird, take my Devastating Divine Thunder!"

Seeing Emperor Jiang and Zhu Rong entangled by Donghuang Taiyi, the Ancestor Witch of Thunder, Qiang Liang, immediately took action, controlling the sky full of thunder and fiercely striking towards the Chaos Bell.

As the thunder Ancestor Witch, he naturally mastered the Devastating Divine Thunder, known as the origin of ten thousand thunders. Although its might was not as great as that of the Pangu Dharma Form, it was still powerful enough to dominate among equals. Disregarding realm and strength, no creature in the Primordial World could rival him in manipulating the Great Dao of Thunder.

The Divine Thunder exploded like a tremendous heavenly might, causing the infinite space-time to rumble mightily.

But Donghuang Taiyi remained calm and fearless. With the Chaos Bell, an Innate Treasure, as long as no Saint intervened, he stood invincible.

Suddenly, the Chaos Bell burst into a five-colored radiance, with the powers of space-time manifesting around it, evolving into infinite Hongmeng Space-Time, neutralizing Qiang Liang's Devastating Divine Thunder.

Emperor Jiang was startled as well.

His strength was comparable to Emperor Jun and Taiyi, but with the Chaos Bell's power, Donghuang Taiyi could simultaneously withstand three Ancestor Witches.

"Just beyond reach!"

Emperor Jiang didn't hesitate to activate his spatial profundity, appearing instantly before Donghuang Taiyi, wrapping with the formidable power of space and ferociously smashing toward the Chaos Bell.

He knew that unless the Chaos Bell was dealt with, their attacks couldn't harm Donghuang Taiyi.

"Second brother, come help me!"

As the leader of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, Emperor Jiang's insight was naturally extraordinary. He was aware that only by resolving the space-time strength around the Chaos Bell could they severely injure Donghuang Taiyi.

Zhu Jiuyin, understanding instantly, activated "Time Stasis" to break free from Kunpeng. Then, together with Emperor Jiang, they targeted the Hongmeng Space-Time evolved by the Chaos Bell, while Zhu Rong and Qiang Liang found the right moment to strike together with "Devastating Divine Fire" and "Devastating Divine Thunder" against Donghuang Taiyi.

Clang!

With the four Ancestor Witches attacking simultaneously, even Donghuang Taiyi found it hard to resist; the Hongmeng Space-Time was resolved, and the attacks of Qiang Liang and Zhu Rong were immediately transmitted through the Chaos Bell onto him.

In an instant, his Innate Taoist Body shattered, forcing him to burn his Essence Blood and manifest his true Golden Crow form to resist the joint strike of Qiang Liang and Zhu Rong.

The Divine Thunder was immense, and the Divine Fire was rampant, the fusion of the two erupted with a world-destroying force, annihilating the infinite space-time.

"The source of ten thousand thunders truly lives up to its reputation!"

Xuanqing, observing this scene from Kunlun Mountain, couldn't help but feel a surge of longing.

He had cultivated the "Taiqing Divine Thunder," "Yuqing Divine Thunder," and "Upper Pure Divine Thunder," three of the highest thunder skills, and had also concentrated the Innate Wind and Thunder Dao Body with the help of the Wind and Thunder Immortal Peach. However, compared to Qiang Liang's control of the "Devastating Divine Thunder," his abilities seemed pale, just like a lesser being facing the suppression of a superior.
