In The Primal Chaos, My identity Was Exposed By The Heavens - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: The First Lich War!

The Hongmeng Zienergy incident could be described as a significant disturbance in Honghuang. In the eyes of the Twelve Patriarchal Witches, the vanishing Primordial Purple Energy had likely ended up in the possession of the Heavenly Court, which was widely recognized. Since the Witch Clan and the Monster Clan’s inception, ongoing conflicts have created constant tension. If either Dijun or Donghuang Taiyi obtains the primordial purple energy, it would present a significant threat to the Wu clan.

Initially, the conflict between the Heavenly Court of the Monster Clan and the East Prince’s Purple Mansion intensified the already prevalent atmosphere of turmoil and hostility in the world. The consequences were dire, compounded by the interception and killing of Hongyun and the struggle for the Primordial Purple Energy.

A sense of impending catastrophe was beginning to affect the thoughts of numerous monks. A calamity was looming. As the central figures in this impending disaster, the two races of witches and demons were inevitably heading towards a major battle.

Within the witch camp, there was a heavy and oppressive atmosphere. The leaders were solemn and prepared for combat. After a prolonged silence, Witch Emperor Jiang addressed the group, “Everyone, Emperor Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi have reached the quasi-Saint Late stage of cultivation and have assumed control over the Heavenly Court’s destiny. Allowing one of them to attain true sanctification poses a severe threat to the Witch Clan.”

“War!” Zhu Rong and Gonggong, who were typically hot-tempered, shouted in unison. “Then let’s go to battle! To heaven!”

The other ancestral witches also voiced their commitment, each brimming with a fierce fighting spirit. At this point, Houtu cautiously stood up and expressed, “Brothers, I’d like to visit my master atop Buzhou Mountain before we march to confront the Heavenly Court of the Monster Race… I hope that’s possible.” As one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Houtu shared the same hostility with the enemy, and the Wu Clan’s survival was at stake. Thus, she felt it was her duty to make this journey.

Before proceeding, she thought it wise to inform Ye Xiu. The Wu Clan held Ye Xiu in high regard, and as his direct disciple, it was her responsibility to keep her master informed of her actions. Consequently, all the ancestral witches consented to Houtu’s request.

After a century had passed, Houtu successfully ascended Buzhou Mountain and met with Ye Xiu. She straightforwardly inquired, “Master, the Wu Clan is about to engage the Heavenly Court in battle. As a member of the Wu Clan, I cannot shy away from this. May I seek your guidance on the matter?”

The Lich War was inevitable, and Ye Xiu, a Hunyuan saint with profound insight, was undoubtedly aware of it. However, Ye Xiu refrained from offering specific advice and simply replied, “Go to the Heavenly Court. Do not tarnish your master’s reputation, even if it means subduing the Monster Race.”

The brevity of his response momentarily took aback Houtu. She had anticipated more substantial guidance or words of caution, encouraging her to stay safe. Yet, all she received was this brief statement. “Is that all?” Houtu asked, surprised.

Ye Xiu’s response, though seemingly calm, had a warming effect on Houtu’s heart. With a slight nod, she descended from Buzhou Mountain.

…

Soon, under the command of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, an army of hundreds of millions of witches, armed with sharp weapons and axes, gathered to threaten the Thirty-Three Heavens and conquer the demon clan’s domain. This battle sent shockwaves through the prehistoric world, keeping all creatures at a respectful distance. Even approaching the Wu Clan army meant destruction because of their overwhelming strength and murderous intent.

Outside the Heavenly Court, a vast Wu Clan army rapidly assembled, their battle cries and killing intent echoing throughout the heavens and the universe, causing chaos in the world. The twelve ancestral witches, acting as generals, led this massive witch army. They radiated the true essence of the ancestral witches, descending directly upon heaven.

Countless powerful witches took the vanguard, exuding a monstrous malevolence, surging forward and obliterating numerous splendid and majestic fairy pavilion palaces within moments. The army of hundreds of millions of witches surged like a tidal wave, leaving behind destruction and ruins wherever they went.

Meanwhile, Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi had been planning a celestial marriage ceremony. With Xihe and Changxi safely within Buzhou Mountain under the protection of Ye Xiu, they hesitated to cause any disturbance. In desperation, they selected two concubines from the female immortals to witness the celestial marriage in an attempt to gain celestial merit.

Unexpectedly, just as they were preparing for the grand ceremony in the Heavenly Court, the Twelve Ancestral Witches led the witch clan army in a surprise attack. Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi wore grim expressions, and the heavenly court was in turmoil. They hadn’t anticipated the swift and aggressive arrival of the Wu Clan, and it was clear that a major battle was inevitable, with no end in sight to the bloodshed.
