Above the nine heavens.
The Daoist Zhunti held the Azure Lotus Banner in his left hand, and when he unfurled it, a relic hung on the banner, radiating countless rays of light and auspicious energy to protect himself.
Holding the Seven Treasures Tree in his right hand, he continuously swung it towards Houtu Niangniang and Xuanming Niangniang.
Although both goddesses are the heads of their clans and have been cultivating for about the same amount of time, there is still a difference in their cultivation level.
Compared to Houtu Niangniang, Xuanming Niangniang's strength is probably far inferior.
Of course, it's not just Xuanming Niangniang; even Jumang and others' cultivation levels are far inferior to Houtu Niangniang's.
It can be said that among all the ancient human clan leaders, Houtu Niangniang's strength was in a class of its own.
As for Zhunti Daoist, his strength is among the top in the entire prehistoric world, only slightly inferior to Pangu and the Three Pure Ones.
If it were just relying on Lady Xuanming, she would probably be defeated by Daoist Zhunti in just a few moves.
Fortunately, Houtu Niangniang was there to help him, which allowed him to barely avoid being killed.
Although Houtu Niangniang was not as powerful as Zhunti Daoren, she cultivated the Great Dao of the Earthly Sovereign and comprehended the Great Law of the Netherworld.
Throughout history, the Earthly Emperor's Great Dao has been known for its resilience. In the past, the Earthly Emperor Yue Jianshi claimed that as long as he stood on the earth and had the support of the earth's energy, he could be called invincible.
As a disciple of the Earthly Sovereign Yue Jian, Houtu Niangniang cultivated the Earthly Sovereign's divine powers and naturally acquired some of Yue Jian's demeanor.
Now, with the help of the Goddess Xuanming, the two against one are still able to maintain the situation.
Zhunti Daoren also had his own plans. He accepted Hu Le's invitation to come down the mountain and help out, but that did not mean he would do his best for Hu Le.
After all, these two goddesses are both patriarchs of major human tribes, and their Western lineage still needs to spread their teachings among these two tribes.
Even if he summoned the guide to suppress the two, the two goddesses had ruled the tribe for hundreds of millions of years, and there were countless loyal followers in the tribe. With those people around, it would be troublesome for them to spread their teachings.
Therefore, he had to fulfill Hu Le's request, but he was also unwilling to offend the two ladies too much.
Therefore, when he made his move, he naturally showed some leniency, maintaining a stalemate with the two empresses.
Otherwise, if he were to go all out, these two ladies might not be a match for him.
Unless Houtu Niangniang can one day achieve the Dao Fruit of the Earthly Sovereign, perhaps she will be able to truly fight against Zhunti Daoist...
The battle between Zhunti Daoist and Yuanshi and Tongtian was relatively restrained, but the battle between them was much more intense.
By this time, the two had already traveled from the Nine Heavens to the Primordial Starry Sky.
Wherever it passed, countless stars were destroyed, and billions of living beings were reduced to ashes.
However, at this moment, the two were almost truly enraged, only thinking about thoroughly humiliating each other, and no longer caring about anything else.
A cloud of auspiciousness appeared above the head of the Primordial Taoist, from which ten thousand golden lamps were forged, emitting countless golden flowers, adorned with tassels and pearls, in an endless stream, protecting him from all harm.
Holding a Three Treasures Ruyi Scepter, he drew upon the power of the Three Realms, and each strike he unleashed shattered the void.
The Taoist Tongtian also manifested auspicious clouds, upon which hung three enormous blue lotuses, with five waves of energy surging and washing over them. These clouds were equally unaffected by any magic, making it difficult for evil spirits to approach.
He held a Qingping Sword in his hand, its blade gleaming with cold light and exuding a murderous aura. Where the sword light crisscrossed, it tore through the void, transforming heaven and earth into fire, water, and wind.
During their fierce battle, the vast starry sky transformed into earth, fire, water, and wind, annihilating everything in existence.
From a distance, it was impossible to see the specific details of their fight.
Amidst the raging fire, water, and wind, only two auspicious clouds faintly appeared...
Inside the Eight Views Palace.
As the Taoist Taiqing sat beside the alchemy furnace refining elixirs, he sensed the changes in the starry sky. He glanced up at the void, as if he had traversed billions of miles in a single glance, taking in all the sights in the starry sky.
"Sigh! These two are always causing me trouble..."
He sighed helplessly.
As the leader of the Three Pure Ones, he was well aware of the conflict between his two junior brothers, but he did not want to interfere casually, nor did he want to favor either of them.
Even if Tongtian Daoren didn't respect him as much as Yuanshi did, he didn't want to help Yuanshi oppress Tongtian Daoren.
Now that the two have gotten into a heated argument, he doesn't want to step in and stop them for the time being.
Thinking that letting the two fight like this would quell some of their anger, he thought that it might be more effective for him to step in and mediate.
No matter how much they fight, at most they'll only suffer some injuries; their lives won't be in any danger...
Outside of Zhou Mountain.
The fighting between the two sides has intensified.
The situation on the field is gradually becoming clear.
Jumang and his side were at a disadvantage from the very beginning; otherwise, they wouldn't have suffered several defeats and been forced to seek outside help from all sides.
In fact, apart from Houtu, Xuanming, and Yuanshi Daoren.
In their efforts to make a comeback, they had already gathered many of their old subordinates and invited many outside helpers.
After all, they have roamed the primordial world since ancient times, and they are not without friends.
However, most of those people were independent cultivators, and very few of them achieved the Great Luo realm.
In the face of such a large-scale situation, these individuals cannot change the overall trend.
As for Hu Le's side, their strength is equally impressive.
Besides the gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court, the strength of the ancestral court of the human race should not be underestimated.
Over the years, the human race has actually produced some powerful experts.
After these masters achieved the status of Ancestral Witch or Great Luo, they would often leave their tribes and enter the ancestral court to cultivate in seclusion by drawing upon the fortune and merit of humanity.
Previously, when Jumang and others attacked the ancestral court of the human race, the ancestral court was able to hold out for so long not only because of the formation, but also because of the help of these human elders.
Otherwise, if the person in charge of the formation is not skilled enough, no matter how ingenious the formation is, it will be useless...
Therefore, as time went by, the rebel forces on Jumang's side showed an increasingly obvious decline.
Seeing this, Jumang and the others were naturally extremely anxious. However, given their limited strength, even if they wanted to turn the tide, they were powerless and could only watch helplessly as the situation continued to deteriorate...
Hu Le's side was still under attack from Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and Ru Shou.
In terms of cultivation level, the three of them were probably similar to Hu Le, since Hu Le had only just cut off two innate Dao fruits at this time.
However, true strength depends on a comprehensive assessment.
In general, in the cultivation world, a slight difference in cultivation level can make all the difference.
Those with profound cultivation can often easily defeat those who are only slightly weaker.
There are many factors that can determine the outcome of a battle, not only the level of one's cultivation, but also supernatural powers, destiny, and even spiritual treasures.
Especially spiritual treasures, which play a crucial role in magical battles.
Just like in the later Investiture of the Gods war, the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, despite their insufficient cultivation, were able to easily defeat opponents whose cultivation levels were far superior to theirs after receiving a spiritual treasure bestowed by their teacher.
Even when the original owners of the magical treasures, their teachers, personally intervened, they would still be beaten and forced to flee in terror by their disciples wielding the treasures...
