The Taoist priest asked, "What is a witch or demon?"
Houtu replied, "The liches are just a pitiful bunch. They were all born of the Father God, yet they kill each other for survival. How helpless they are."
The Taoist priest asked again, "Who will live and who will die in the war between the Lich King and the Demon King?"
Houtu replied with a bitter smile, "The demon race has Nuwa, so they can preserve a trace of their bloodline, but my witch race will die."
The Taoist priest finally asked, "Countless people have died in this world. If you could exchange your life for peace on earth, what would you choose?"
Houtu: "My death is not terrible. It's just that the Wu clan can still resist the attacks of the demons with me. If I die, the entire Wu clan will perish. If you can preserve a trace of the Wu clan's bloodline, then even if I die, what's wrong with that?"
The Taoist priest then said, "I have a magic spell. If you can withstand it, not only will it save a single bloodline of your witch clan, but it would be easy to save your entire witch clan."
Houtu remained silent, retreating a hundred miles away, revealing her true form as an ancestral witch. A gigantic monster appeared, with a human body and a snake tail, seven hands behind its back, and two hands in front holding two flying serpents. It was incredibly large.
The Taoist slightly bent his five fingers, and black and white energies flashed in his palm, quickly condensing into a half-foot-long sphere. Houtu looked at the sphere in the Taoist's hand and exclaimed in astonishment, "Father God's Heavenly Thunder of Creation, who are you, and what is your connection with Father God?"
The Taoist remained silent, waving his hand. The Heavenly Thunder flew directly towards Houtu. Facing the Heavenly Thunder, capable of shattering even the chaotic space, how could a mere Ancestral Witch like her withstand it? Houtu roared, "Roar of the Earth!" followed by another shout, "Guardian of the Earth!" The Roar of the Earth rapidly expanded outwards from its center. Thick earth elements emanated from Houtu's body, enveloping her layer upon layer. A massive cocoon, about ten feet thick, enveloped her entire body—truly worthy of being called the Guardian of the Earth. When the Heavenly Thunder collided with the Roar of the Earth, the Roar of the Earth ceased its expansion and rapidly disintegrated. The remaining power of the Heavenly Thunder continued to strike Houtu. With a deafening boom, the Taoist vanished, the entire space disappeared with him, and Houtu's Ancestral Witch true form vanished. She coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and fainted.
Xuanming was greatly shocked and let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Houtu!" followed by drops of bloody tears.
Xuanming swore, "Sister, I will go if anything happens in the future. Even if it means my death, I will never hold you again, even if it breaks my heart."
In the space of life, Styx dodged and weaved through the chaotic currents, looking utterly disheveled. But with so many chaotic currents, how could Styx completely avoid them? Desperate, Styx gathered all his magical power, frantically channeling it into the Twelfth-Grade Blood Lotus and the Yuan Tu and Abi swords, shouting, "Blood Sea, appear!" It turned out that Styx had no choice but to summon the Netherworld Blood Sea, which had been with him for half his life, to withstand the impact of the chaotic currents. Styx instantly entered the Blood Sea, and the Blood River Formation activated at full power. Immediately, boundless blood light filled the entire space. Styx roared, "With my blood, ignite the blood of the Blood Sea! Blood Sea explode!" Another deafening roar erupted, blood light burst forth, the Chaotic Five Elements Formation vanished, Styx's face turned pale, one-fifth of the Blood Sea disappeared, and the Yuan Tu and Abi swords were broken. The Blood Lotus no longer shone with blood light.
Looking at the broken sword, the dwindling sea of blood, and the colorless blood lotus, Styx really wanted to cry.

Seeing that it couldn't defeat the three, the Death Space began to gather endless death energy, gradually forming a cone shape and spinning rapidly, starting a new round of attacks. The first to suffer was the Mountain and River Map. Without a sound, its light dimmed, and it whooshed through the Death Space, flying into Nuwa's hands. Nuwa looked at the damaged Mountain and River Map with great heartache; it seemed it wouldn't be repaired for ten thousand years. The Death Cone broke through one layer of protection and instantly began its advance towards the second layer. Hongyun shouted, "Nine-Nine Red Sand Destiny Formation - Red Sand Explosion!" Instantly, boundless red sand exploded, and Hongyun coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, swaying and nearly collapsing. Zhenyuan, seeing his close friend Hongyun injured, quickly supported him, asking, "Brother, are you alright?" Hongyun nodded weakly. Zhen Yuan was furious. The earthly protective barrier surrounding the three vanished, and a yellow-robed Taoist appeared to his left, while the ginseng fruit tree disappeared as well. A green-robed Taoist also appeared to his right—Zhen Yuan's two avatars, Huang Tian and Lü Mang. Zhen Yuan said to the two, "Brothers, I'm sorry to trouble you." The two Taoists shot towards the Death Cone, and then disappeared, along with the Death Cone. The Earth Book and the ginseng fruit tree returned to their original forms and shot into Zhen Yuan's body. It turned out that Zhen Yuan had self-destructed his two avatars, breaking through the Death Space. Zhen Yuan's face turned pale, and his magical power dropped to the early Quasi-Saint stage; it would probably take a million years to recover.
Hongyun was extremely grateful and said with tears in her eyes, "Why bother, brother?"
Fuxi helped the two of them up and they appeared in the palace.
In the illusory space, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, seeing their attacks fruitless, grew enraged and roared, "Pangu's True Form of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, manifest!" The Twelve Ancestral Witches transformed into twelve enormous blood spheres, merging and permeating each other. A gigantic figure, a hundred million miles tall with explosive muscles, appeared—it was indeed Pangu. Di Jun and Tai Yi were startled. The giant shattered the Hetu Luoshu Formation with several punches, and Di Jun coughed up blood. The giant then attacked the Chaos Bell. After several punches, the Chaos Bell began to shake, as if it were about to fall at any moment. Di Jun had no choice but to give up and was instantly teleported away. The Chaos Bell protected Tai Yi, receiving Pangu's punch after punch. Pangu, having failed to land his punches, roared, his fist flashing with chaotic light, seemingly slow but actually rapid as he struck Tai Yi. At the same time, Tai Yi roared, "Chaos Bell manifests to suppress the Primordial Chaos!" An ancient and desolate aura swept through the entire space. A hissing sound came from the chaos, followed by a mournful cry, before disappearing completely. Pangu's true form was nowhere to be seen, the illusory space vanished, and Taiyi's right arm holding the bell also disappeared.
