Chapter 58: The First Battle Between the Sorcerer and Demon tribes
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Minghe had finished his battle but the war between the Sorcerer and Demon tribes was still ongoing. Minghe didn"t really care about the outcome of the war. What he was really concerned about was if the Wu Tribe would call the Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu or not. Even if it was a deformity, it would still be a great help for Minghe"s cultivation of the Rakshasa.
But a while later, someone who Minghe hadn"t expected was blocking his way. Looking at him, Minghe asked, "Fellow Taoist Zhenyuanzi, could you tell me why you are blocking my way? Don"t tell me that you want to steal the Hong Meng Immortal Qi too?" The one coming his way was Zhenyuanzi. A while ago, he had sensed that there was an expert at Late Stage of the Sage-to-be approaching, but he hadn"t expected that it would be Zhenyuanzi.
After meeting Minghe, Zhenyuanzi bowed and said, "Fellow Taoist Minghe, please don"t misunderstand me, I don"t have any inordinate plans for the Hong Meng Immortal Qi. I just want to ask if it"s possible for you to trade with me for Fellow Taoist Hongyun"s relic, the Nine Nine Spirit-killing Gourd?"
Minghe smiled faintly and said, "The Nine Nine Spirit-killing Gourd? Well then, since you asked for it, here it is!" After finishing his words, he threw the Nine Nine Spirit-killing Gourd on the ground and left. Zhenyuanzi received the red gourd with a strange expression on his face.
The Nine Nine Spirit-killing Gourd was a Top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure and it was unlikely that one would be so generous to give it away in the Untainted Land. Besides, this treasure was Minghe"s plunder from his battle. Zhenyuanzi was asking for it only because he wanted to fulfill the last hope in his heart.
He thought that he would need to exchange something with Minghe. He hadn"t expected that Minghe would just hand it to him like this. Was there something wrong? Zhenyuanzi immediately sent his Spiritual Thoughts to the gourd, and suddenly his face changed. He quickly returned to Wuzhuang Taoist Temple.

On the battlefield of the Sorcerer and Demon tribes, the troops of the Sorcerer and Demon tribes clashed and slaughtered each other. Their blood flowed like a river, but their blood didn"t last long as the Blood Sea Formation in the Blood Sea kept functioning. Their blood was delivered to the Blood Sea, separated and well managed.
As the war was going on, it was soldier versus soldier, general versus general, strategist versus strategist. Then it was the Sacred Demon versus the Great Sorcerer. And then it was the Sage-to-be Emperor Jun, Taiyi, f.u.xi and the Ten Great Demon Sages against the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. Both sides didn"t want to lose to each other and fought fiercely.
Among them, Donghuang Taiyi was the fiercest, with his cultivation of the Secondary Stage of the Sage-to-be and one of the Three Treasures of Heaven and Earth Creation, the Bell of Chaos. He fought against two Ancestors of Sorcery, Zhurong and Gonggong, by himself. The two Ancestors of Sorcery didn"t like each other, but their teamwork during the battle was incredible.
The He Luo Origin Formation created by Emperor Jun and f.u.xi by using the River Chart and the Inscription of the Luo successfully restrained the four Ancestors of Sorcery (Emperor Jiang, Torch Dragon, Jumang, and Qiangliang). The remaining six Ancestors of Sorcery were fighting with the Ten Great Demon Sages. The situation was very intense, and each side matched the other in strength.
As time pa.s.sed by, the Wu Tribe began to take the advantage. Even though the Demon Tribe was stronger physically, it was still weaker than the Wu Tribe. As the war continued, consumption of supernatural power kept increasing, and physical strength became the key to winning this battle. The Demon Tribe was indeed at a disadvantage.
After discussing with f.u.xi, the Emperor Jun flew away immediately. f.u.xi controlled the He Luo Origin Formation with his full strength. Emperor Jun arrived beside Taiyi with a raging flame golden wheel in his hand and immediately attacked the Ancestor of Sorcery, Zhurong.
Emperor Jun had obtained the golden wheel, named Sun Cakra, from the Solar Star. It was a Primordial Spiritual Treasure. This treasure was formed from the power of the Solar Star"s Origin and had a high attacking power. It could also release the Solar Fire. Once hit by the wheel, not only would the body be damaged, but also it would be burdened by the Solar Fire.
Seeing Emperor Jun"s attack, Zhurong released a palm with a fiery flame on it. The flame on his palm, the Nanming Fire, was quite the same as the Solar Fire. After repelling the Sun Cakra, Zhurong cursed and said, "Emperor Jun you three-legged crow, how dare you ambush me. If you are that great, come and fight fair with me."
Emperor Jun ignored Zhurong. The previous attack was just to avert him away. He turned and said to Taiyi. "Taiyi, quickly evade Gonggong, this war can"t last much longer. Work with me to create the Cosmic Stars Formation. Let the Wu Tribe witness the greatness of our Demon Tribe"s Formation."
When Taiyi heard this, he smashed the Bell of Chaos fiercely and made Gonggong turn away; then he forcefully hit the Bell of Chaos and the "Dang... Dang... Dang... " bell sound echoed throughout the entire battlefield. The sound emitted by the Bell of Chaos stunned the battlefield, and in this short moment, Emperor Jun got his chance to make a command.
Emperor Jun gathered his supernatural power and shouted. "The Demon Tribe, arrange the Cosmic Stars Formation." Then, he waved his sleeve and countless Cosmic Star Banners came out. In the blink of an eye, a vast tactical formation had been created and the armies of Demon Tribe immediately flew to their positions respectively. In just a moment, the Cosmic Stars Formation of the Demon Tribe was already done.
As the Cosmic Stars Formation formed, all living beings of Untainted Land were awed. The formation was really vast and unbelievably powerful. It was already on the same level as Luohou"s G.o.d-killing Sword Formation. n.o.body could have guessed that the Demon Tribe had a hidden trick like this.
The troops of the Wu Tribe were restrained by the Cosmic Stars Formation. The moment the Formation formed, the Cosmic Star Banners inside the tactical formation started calling the other cosmic stars. One by one, the energy of the Origin of Stars came down and strengthened the Cosmic Stars Formation, making it more powerful. The Formation affected the State of Mind of all beings living in the Untainted Land.
Inside Mount Kunlun, Three Pure Ones were watching the battlefield of the Sorcerer and Demon tribes and saw both sides kill each other. They were very gratified. Both the Sorcerer and Demon tribes were indeed very powerful. Even though Three Pure Ones had a great cultivation and Primordial Supreme Treasures, it was still not enough to fight against the Sorcerer and Demon tribes.
The only way for Three Pure Ones to surpa.s.s the Sorcerer and Demon tribes was for them to become Sages. All creatures beneath the Sages were considered a nonent.i.ty in their eyes. The strength of a Sage couldn"t be compared to a Tribe. If they were to become the Sages, destroying the Sorcerer and Demon tribes would be an easy task.
But now, they found that their thoughts had been a little naive. The Cosmic Stars Formation set by the Demon Tribe had already far surpa.s.sed their expectations. Inside the formation, even a Peak Level of Sage-to-be would have a difficult time. With the energy of the Origin of Stars in the Untainted Land, this formation already had the strength to fight with a Sage.
The Honoured Lord of the Origin said resentfully. "d.a.m.n, Minghe was like this, now the Demon Tribe is also like this. Emperor Jun has the Cosmic Stars Formation and Taiyi has the Primordial Supreme Treasure, the Bell of Chaos. Their combined power already has the strength to fight with a Sage. Why? Oh, why will I, a member of the Pangu tribe, lose to them? d.a.m.n!"
Laozi also had a serious expression. Although the Cultivation Tribulation had just begun, it had already surpa.s.sed his expectations. Minghe"s dominant strength and the appearance of the Cosmic Stars Formation already made Laozi a bit stressed. Especially the Cosmic Stars Formation. This formation had already surpa.s.sed the domain of the Sage-to-be which apparently provoked the minds of all living beings in the Untainted Land.
Laozi looked at the furious Honoured Lord of the Origin and said, "Brother, no need to act like this. Just wait for me to become a Sage. Even if they have a primordial supreme treasure and the Cosmic Stars Formation, it is still futile." When the Honoured Lord of the Origin heard this, he started to calm down. Right, he thought. If he became a Sage, this formation of the Demon Tribe wouldn"t have any use.
But Tongtian was very excited, looking at the mysterious Cosmic Stars Formation. "What a great Cosmic Stars Formation!" He thought. "This formation was really powerful." Still, he didn"t know if it could clash with his G.o.d-killing Sword Formation or not. He was someone who loved formations. Seeing a formation such as this, he wanted to study it immediately.
Inside the Holy Mountain of the West, Jieyin and Zhunti watched the Formation of the Demon Tribe, speechless. Zhunti had eyes full of greed. The West was weak, and both of them wanted to strengthen the West. Jieyin acted with the flow of destiny, but Zhunti"s idea was to plunder the East and thus strengthen the West.
And Zhunti really wanted the powerful Cosmic Stars Formation. If he had the tactical formation, the West would definitely start to strengthen up. "Senior, I didn"t expect that the Demon Tribe would have a Formation like this. If only we could rob this Formation from the Demon Tribe."
Jieyin said calmly. "Junior, never lose your mind of Taoism to objects. This formation is good, but it needs the strength of the armies of Demon Tribe to operate it. Even if we could get it, it would be useless for us as this formation is the hidden card of the Demon Tribe. It would be impossible for us to obtain this formation."
Zhunti was a bit resentful, but Jieyin"s words were true. Looking at the Wu Tribe trapped in the Formation, he said gloatingly. "Perhaps the Wu Tribe will suffer a great loss this time because the Demon Tribe had the help of the formation."
