As the giant claw hurtled toward the primordial star, Ye Chen felt as if his soul was about to fly away.
The entire defensive mechanism of the primordial planet was instantly activated to its limit. Coupled with the Zhou Tian Star Array that covered the entire sky, the powerful defensive mechanism made it difficult for even an eighth-order True God to break through for a time.
The giant claw had no choice but to change tactics, grabbing the primordial star protected by the shield and carrying it to the dark world.
"Go!" Ye Chen frantically activated the space teleportation function of the Primordial Star, but under the restriction of the eighth-order True God, he was unable to leave at all. He could only watch helplessly as the Primordial Star was dragged into the spatial rift bit by bit by the other party, and when it reappeared, it was already outside the source of darkness.
That wasn't the end of it. Just as the Red Dragon God was rushing towards them to rescue him, the surrounding space rotated again, and the Black Dragon's enormous claws carried him back into the Dark World.
When everything around him turned to darkness, Ye Chen knew he was finished! To this day, no one has ever been able to return from the dark world. Not to mention a seventh-tier lord like him, even an eighth-tier lord couldn't do it, and even a ninth-tier lord wouldn't dare to truly venture into the darkness.
"I can't give up! There must be a way to survive!" Ye Chen thought to himself. The sacred shield protecting the Primordial Star in the sky was still there, and the stars in the sky were still shining. If he gave up like this, the countless living beings on the Primordial Star would really be doomed.
"Zhulong! Go find Fuxi, and together you must maintain the Zhou Tian Star Array!" Ye Chen shouted quickly.
"Ye Jun, you and Ye Chang will patrol the Primordial World together. We absolutely cannot allow darkness to spread on the Primordial Star. We are currently in darkness, and only you can bring light to everyone!" Maintaining the Zhou Tian Star Array, Ye Chen continued to give orders to the Sun and Moon Stars.
These two stars, along with Ye Jun and Ye Chang on them, possess powerful purification abilities. Only they can stop the spread of dark energy. Otherwise, once the Primordial Star falls, all living beings on the Primordial Star will completely lose their place of refuge and be exposed to endless darkness.
"Boom!" As soon as the words were spoken, the sacred shield on the outer edge of the Primordial Star was attacked fiercely. The powerful force tore a hole in the shield and tried to continue its attack, but it was blocked by the Zhou Tian Star Array.
"Roar!" An angry roar echoed in the darkness as the giant claw slammed down once more. This time, even the Zhou Tian Star Array could not stop it; it only offered slight resistance before breaking through again.
"All warriors of the Witch Clan, follow me and kill!" This time, without waiting for Ye Chen's order, the Twelve Ancestral Witches spontaneously led the Witch Clan to set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, blocking the giant claw's path.
The enormous phantom of Pangu charged toward the giant claw, actually severing one of its fingers. Black blood rained down, staining a large area of land black.
This was all filthy blood filled with dark energy. Ordinary creatures would be directly corrupted by the darkness once they came into contact with it. Ye Jun immediately shone a blazing light down on the earth, trying to purify this dark energy, but there were still some omissions.
Many living beings were directly corrupted by the dark energy, turning into one monster after another, which ravaged the primordial land.
The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was ultimately not a defensive formation. It was good at attacking but not good at defending. It could not withstand attacks like the Zhou Tian Star Formation. Although it broke off one of the dragon claws and forced it back, it also suffered heavy casualties.
Countless Wu warriors perished, and nine of the twelve Ancestral Witches died on the spot. The remaining Zhu Rong and others fell to the ground, their fates unknown. Gong Gong crashed headfirst into Tianzhu Mountain in the center of the Primordial Star.
"Boom!" The towering Tianzhu Mountain collapsed in response, and the monstrous waves swept across the land, causing countless prehistoric creatures to perish.
Moreover, with the destruction of the territory's shield and the Zhou Tian Star Array, dense dark energy poured in through the breach, threatening to engulf the entire Primordial Star.
Ye Jun and the others tried their best to stop and purify, but they could only save the planet temporarily. Their strength was also limited. Once they were exhausted, the only thing waiting for the Primordial Star was complete subjugation.
Moreover, how could the numerous eighth-order True Gods surrounding them easily back down? They certainly wouldn't allow the Primordial Star to recover. When the giant claw attacked the Primordial Star again, Ye Chen no longer knew what power he had left to stop it.
"Is this the end?" Looking at the giant dragon claw descending from the sky, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation. Perhaps the end for a lord is destruction?
"Boom!" But at this moment, the aura on the entire Primordial Star suddenly stopped, and a vast divine might rose on the Primordial Star. A slender jade hand actually reached out from above the Lingxiao Palace and slapped towards the world-destroying dragon claw in the sky.
"Get lost!" With a soft shout, a jade hand gently slapped the dragon's claw. The seemingly delicate and fair hand actually knocked the dragon's claw away, averting the annihilation crisis of the entire primordial planet.
"Boom!" As the palm retracted, a huge phantom with a human head and a snake body appeared above the Primordial Star. Upon seeing this phantom, everyone's faces lit up with joy. From her, everyone felt a powerful aura that was no weaker than that of the Black Dragon.
"It's Nuwa! That's wonderful!" Ye Chen was overjoyed. He never expected that at the critical moment, Nuwa, who was living in the Nuwa Palace, would finally complete her final breakthrough and step into the threshold of the eighth rank. This was undoubtedly a heartening piece of good news for the prehistoric planet, which was in crisis!
However, Nuwa clearly had no time to pay attention to him at this moment. Her gaze swept across the surrounding darkness. Having just completed her breakthrough, she was about to face the greatest crisis of her life.
Although she was surrounded by darkness and couldn't see anything, she could sense from the powerful auras that there was more than one eighth-level True God around her, while she was just a True God who had just broken through to the eighth level. It was a question whether she could survive the siege of so many Dark True Gods.
Not only her, but Ye Chen and the others also understood this problem. The foundation of the Primordial Star was ultimately too weak. Ye Chen was not a lord who had lived for a long time, and his growth to this point was enough to shock the heavens.
"No! It's not entirely without a chance!" Ye Chen thought to himself, and quickly picked up the "Investiture of the Gods" from the table in front of him!
"Now there is Nuwa, who established great virtues in the primordial world, created the human race on the earth, and resisted powerful enemies from beyond the heavens. Now she is hereby conferred the title of Mother of the Earth, residing in the Nuwa Palace, the Holy Mother of the Human Race, and a Saint of Heaven and Earth!" As Ye Chen's voice came, a mysterious aura emanated from the "Investiture of the Gods" and landed on Nuwa.
