Here are the updates meant for today
-------------------------------------
Han Xuanji first nodded slightly toward the Heavenly Emperor, whose expression had eased somewhat, and then calmly looked at Dijiang, whose Aura was monstrous, and the Demon Ancestor, who was shrouded in dense Devilish Qi.
"Dijiang, escaping confinement was not easy, nor is achieving the Dao."
Han Xuanji spoke. His voice was not loud, yet every word resonated like the tolling of a great Dao bell, striking the heart of every listener.
"It is understandable to seek a place to stand, but using force to coerce, attempting to divide the authority of Heaven and Earth, and disrupting the eternal order—this is not the path to revival, but the road to disaster."
He looked again at the Demon Ancestor's Dharma Idol, his eyes indifferent:
"And you, Demon Ancestor, hiding in the shadows, manipulating events and fanning the flames—do you truly believe no one can deal with you?"
Named directly by Han Xuanji, the Demon Ancestor felt somewhat annoyed, but also fearful of Han Xuanji's strength. He could only pretend to be unconcerned and replied:
"Xuantian Dao Venerable... I merely intended to mediate this matter in good faith. Furthermore, haven't you always been aloof? Why are you concerning yourself with such affairs now."
"Good faith?"
The corner of Han Xuanji's mouth curled up, revealing a faint, enigmatic smile.
"You are currently madly eroding the Origin of Reincarnation. Is that also done in good faith?"
The Demon Ancestor suddenly stiffened. Without saying anything more, he quietly retreated backward, seeming to want to hide himself in the deeper darkness.
"Xuantian Dao Venerable!"
Seeing Han Xuanji's attitude, Dijiang felt the anger of being ignored. His voice remained powerful, and his eyes locked onto Han Xuanji.
"This is an old grievance between my Witch Clan and the Heavenly Court, concerning the re-establishment of the Primordial order!
Although you are Limitless Primordial, I advise you not to interfere in such trivial matters! Retreat quickly, and we can pretend today's events never happened!"
Both were newly advanced to the Limitless Primordial Realm. Dijiang was the head of the Primordial Ancestral Witches, a descendant of the Immortal Ancestor, who had achieved the Dao through Nirvana in a desperate situation. How could he be weaker than anyone else?
"Big Brother is getting serious!"
The Ancestral Witch Gonggong whispered, his voice heavy.
"He is channeling the Origin power of the Immortal Realm to empower himself! This level of might is no longer comparable to that of an ordinary newcomer to the Limitless Primordial!
That Xuantian Dao Venerable is probably about to witness the true prowess of us Ancestral Witches."
Even the Great Experts of the Heavenly Court felt some apprehension, as the power Dijiang was currently displaying was truly terrifying.
Although they all knew that Han Xuanji had previously suppressed the Lord of Greed, the two situations were different. Many knew that when the Lord of Greed entered the Immortal Realm, his Chaos Demon God power would be severely suppressed by the Immortal Realm, but the Ancestral Witches were Innate beings native to the Immortal Realm. Not only would they not be suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm, but it would actually boost their strength.
The Heavenly Emperor frowned deeply, the Heavenly Dao Imperial Seal in his hand glowing as he prepared to attack alongside them.
He knew well that the Immortal Realm was essentially the home ground of the Ancestral Witches. Dijiang, empowered by the Origin, was definitely not an easy opponent. Back then, the Twelve Ancestral Witches combined their strength using a great formation, which was enough to contend with the Limitless Primordial, making them invincible in the Immortal Realm. If the Dao Ancestor had not achieved the Dao and pioneered the Immortal Dao, the Ancestral Witches might still be ruling the Immortal Realm today.
And now Dijiang had achieved the Limitless Primordial using his Physical Body, forging a Great Dao that reached the heavens. His strength could not be underestimated!
"When this Venerable speaks, I do not like to be interrupted."
Han Xuanji didn't even glance at Dijiang. He simply raised his right hand casually, pointed his index finger towards Dijiang's location, and lightly "tapped" downward.
Dijiang's colossal body, radiating the pressure of the Limitless Primordial, was instantly struck as if by a Primordial Divine Mountain.
"Ah!"
Dijiang let out a roar mixed with pain and disbelief, but his massive body uncontrollably plummeted toward the boundless, turbulent Nether Sea below!
The Nether Sea exploded with ten thousand-foot waves. Countless sinking evil thoughts within the Nether Sea were annihilated the moment they touched the power emanating from Dijiang's body.
The entire Nether Sea, centered on Dijiang's impact point, sank into a bottomless, massive whirlpool. The Nether Sea itself seemed to wail and tremble.
An Ancestral Witch of the Limitless Primordial Realm, whose arrogance soared to the heavens, was actually struck down into the Nether Sea by Han Xuanji with a single finger from afar!
Heaven and Earth fell silent.
Whether it was the Evil Qilin and other Primordial behemoths, who were struck dumb with fear, or the Immortal Gods and Loose Cultivators of the Immortal Realm watching from afar, all sank into dead silence and stupefaction.
Didn't everyone say that Xuantian Dao Venerable was easy to talk to?
Why was his first move such a thunderous display of power!
This action was simply too swift.
The remaining eleven Ancestral Witches awoke from their shock, letting out roars of astonishment and fury. Monstrous Evil Qi mixed with their respective Origin Laws, transforming into a world-destroying torrent, ready to rush toward Han Xuanji regardless of the consequences.
"Big Brother!"
"Elder Brother!"
Seeing Dijiang suppressed into the Nether Sea by a single finger from Han Xuanji, the remaining eleven Ancestral Witches instantly turned red-eyed, their Bloodline surged, and their rage erupted like a volcano.
They never expected that, despite being fellow experts of the Limitless Primordial Realm, their own elder brother couldn't even withstand a single finger from the opponent.
"This guy launched a sneak attack!"
They had no time for further thought; a sense of crisis made them instantly reach a decision.
"Form the array! Use our Vital Essence and Blood to summon the power of the Ancestral God!"
Zhurong roared, and scarlet Divine Flames that could incinerate the heavens ignited around him. Within the flames, faint Great Dao Runes were burning and being sacrificed.
Gonggong roared furiously, and the waters of the Nether Sea surged backward, transforming into nine ferocious, profound black Water Dragons circling his body. Every Water Dragon radiated cold Evil Qi and immense weight capable of destroying all things.
Jumang, Roshou, Xuanming, Houtu, Qiangliang, Zhujiuyin, Tianwu, Xizi, Shebishi... these eleven Ancestral Witches simultaneously let out ancient battle cries that shook the galaxy.
They held nothing back, frantically activating the Great Dao Origin Laws they controlled—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Lightning... That boundless Great Dao torrent mixed with the Ancestral Witch Vital Essence and Blood, which they forced out regardless of the cost and which contained the imprint of the Great Dao, intertwined and gathered above the Nether Sea, seeming to resonate with the Heavenly Dao, or even the Great Dao itself!
"Buzz!!!"
This was a terrifying Aura, ancient and powerful to the extreme, seemingly originating from the very beginning of creation, spreading out from the void.
The Laws above the Nether Sea became completely chaotic, and Dijiang's body slowly climbed out from beneath the Nether Sea.
After all, he was a Powerful Expert of the Limitless Primordial Realm; naturally, it was impossible for Han Xuanji's single finger to inflict serious injury.
That single finger strike was more of an insult!
Dijiang was furious and could no longer think of anything else. In an instant, a massive Formation Diagram, centered around the Twelve Ancestral Witches as core nodes, took shape.
The Formation Diagram covered the sky, obscuring the stars and the moon. Within it, the elements of earth, fire, water, and wind seemed to be re-enacted, suns, moons, and stars were born and destroyed, and countless phantoms of Innate Gods and Demons roared and surged!
"The Twelve Capitals Gods and Demons Great Array!"
A Primordial Being cried out in surprise, its voice filled with excitement:
"They are going all out!"
"Legend says this array is a supreme great formation mastered by the Twelve Ancestral Witches after comprehending the Origin for countless years. When all Twelve Ancestral Witches gather, they can briefly summon the phantom of the Ancestral God, possessing the great power to split Heaven and Earth and redefine Chaos!
In ancient times, even the Dao Ancestor feared this array and had to find an opportunity to suppress them individually!"
Another Great Expert of the Immortal Realm, who knew the Secret History of the Primordial Era, spoke with a trembling voice, his expression grim.
All the various factions of the Immortal Realm watching from afar, whether they were Loose Cultivator Great Experts or veteran Immortal Sect Elders, changed color in horror.
Many had heard of the fierce reputation of the Twelve Capitals Gods and Demons Great Array, but only in legends. Now, witnessing the terrifying phenomena it generated firsthand far exceeded their imagination!
The Aura permeating the Formation Diagram had already surpassed the might displayed earlier by the Lord of Greed.
"This is bad! Xuantian Dao Venerable is strong, but this array..."
Someone in the Heavenly Court faction spoke worriedly, his words trailing off, but the meaning was already clear.
