Chapter 2661 - 2659: Never Give Up

Chapter 2661: Chapter 2659: Never Give Up

After Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin returned, they immediately ordered Yang Jian to activate the formation with the Five-Colored Stones.

Yang Jian complied at once, placing the Five-Colored Divine Stones into the formation.

A five-colored barrier buzzed, swiftly sealing the gap between this barren land and the Immortal Realm entirely.

When the Golden Crow Emperor arrived with his entourage, a group of Little Demons, oblivious to the danger, charged straight at the barrier with their Magical Weapons with loud booms.

Immediately, the void lit up with streaks of firelight.

These Little Demons, like moths to a flame, crashed into the barrier and were instantly turned to ashes by the alternating energy waves of the two realms.

The war drums sounded from behind, halting the Little Demons at once.

The Golden Crow Emperor, leading his subordinates, coldly glared at the people atop the city walls. His eyes burned with fury as he declared, "Long Fei, once I enter the Immortal Realm, I will annihilate your entire family!"

He had painstakingly planned to lure the snake out of its hole, intending to annihilate all the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, but they managed to escape back here.

Next time, it wouldn’t be so easy.

The people on the city walls, apart from Little Kirin and the others, as well as the Five Elders of the Five Directions, didn’t know whom the Golden Crow Emperor was cursing.

They had heard of Long Fei’s name but didn’t know that the two Ancestral Witches were Long Fei’s split self, much less that these two giants were the legendary Ancestral Witches.

Di Jiang looked at the Golden Crow Emperor and mocked, "Young Crow, our era has long passed. The fortune of the Three Realms now belongs to the Human Race. No matter how much you struggle, it’s all in vain. As your elder, I advise you to find a place to cultivate in peace and not defy the heavens any longer."

Zhu Jiuyin nodded in agreement, "Indeed, indeed!"

The Golden Crow Emperor roared in anger, "It was you who destroyed the fortune of my Demon Clan, reducing us to servants of the Human Race, subject to slaughter. If I cannot restore the glory of my Demon Clan, I cannot die in peace, let alone cultivate!"

His obsession was so deep that even splitting himself was of no use.

He knew the power of the five-colored barrier and merely ordered the Little Demons to camp three hundred miles outside the city, holding their ground there.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals finally had a chance to catch their breath, squatting on the ground with weak legs.

A hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, two thousand had been killed, and over ten thousand were lightly or severely injured.

The logistics and medical staff on Liangshan Island stepped forward to treat them.

Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin, along with the Five Elders, Yang Jian, Li Jing, Nezha, and the Little Kirin, sat down together.

The two giants shrunk their height to two meters, looking somewhat normal.

But sitting there, they still exuded an overwhelming presence.

Li Jing, ashamed, said, "This calamity started because of me, and I will take responsibility and report truthfully to the Jade Emperor. I am thankful for everyone here who saved my life!"

He stood up and respectfully bowed to everyone present.

The Five Elders said, "This is not the time to discuss this. We should discuss how to defend against these Ancient Demon Clans."

"Indeed, this barrier here is formidable, but the Five-Colored Stones are few, only enough to maintain it for a while. Once the Five-Colored Stones are depleted, this barrier will be useless!"

Yang Jian supplemented.

Nezha jested, "I’ve heard that Sunx Wukong is transformed from a Five-Colored Stone; perhaps we should invite him to sit here and guard."

Everyone exchanged light smiles, finally all looking towards Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin.

They already knew that these two were Long Fei’s split self. Seeing them was like seeing Long Fei.

Di Jiang looked at them and said, "The Heavenly Dao is hard to defy. The fortune of the Witch and Demon Tribes is rising, beyond our power to resist. You can defend for a while, but not forever. The fall of Mount Buzhou is only a matter of time."

"What?"

"Is there really no way out?"

A group of people, faces full of despair, with Little Kirin asking, "Father, if that’s the case, won’t the Three Realms really be filled with rivers of blood?"

The central Yellow Emperor, Xuanling Huang Lao Yiqi Tianjun, of the Five Elders of the Five Directions, dry-coughed, finding it awkward to hear his avatar call Di Jiang father, as chaotic and disorganized as it could be.

Di Jiang was an Ancestral Witch, while he had the Divine Beast Bloodline of the Demon Clan.

Now, the Witch and Demon Tribes seemed to be united.

Di Jiang said, "The calamity is such that it cannot be stopped by human strength. You’d better make long-term plans to counter it."

"Indeed!"

Zhu Jiuyin nodded.

Yang Jian clenched his fists in frustration and said, "If this place falls, where can we flee? I, Er Lang the Divine Lord, would rather die than be a deserter and be ridiculed."

Nezha nonchalantly patted Yang Jian’s shoulder and said, "Brother, I’m willing to accompany you to death!"

Li Jing sighed dejectedly, knowing from what Di Jiang said that this catastrophe was unavoidable.

Little Kirin asked with furrowed brows, "Father, can’t even you stop them?"

Di Jiang shook his head and said, "Trouble is coming to Liangshan Island, and we have to go back to help; we can’t stay here long."

Zhu Jiuyin said, "In trouble, one cannot stay!"

Little Kirin and the others were startled, quickly saying, "Shall we return together?"

Di Jiang said, "No need for that, this calamity is no ordinary one; even if you return, it will be of no help. Although this place cannot hold forever, holding out for a while longer can increase the fortune of the Human Race. You should act according to the plan and assist Yang Jian here."

"Understood!"

Little Kirin and the five of them earnestly nodded.

The Five Elders of the Five Directions exchanged glances and sighed, "Follow destiny, do our duty. We will stay here and hold on until the last moment, we won’t give up!"

"Yes, never give up!"

All five of Little Kirin stood up, extending their hands with Yang Jian and the others.

Yang Jian and Nezha placed their hands on theirs and said softly, "Never give up!"

Li Jing, moved by the camaraderie, stood up, extending his hand as well, saying, "I’d rather die defending the Human Race!"

Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin looked at this with a smile. They took an item from their bosom and handed it to Li Jing, saying, ’Pagoda-Holding Heavenly King, keep your Magical Treasure safe.’

Li Jing looked on in astonishment and discovered that the Linglong Pagoda, which had been shattered by Zi Tie, was somehow perfectly intact in Di Jiang’s hand.

Mysterious Light emanated from it, without a trace of damage.

Prior to this, his Magical Weapon had been shattered by Sun Wukong and later repaired by the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

He took it, quickly inspected it, and found the Mystic Patterns inside had been fully restored.

Di Jiang chuckled lightly, "The things of the Buddhist Sect are ultimately not as profound as those of our Daoist Sect. I’ve added some Spatial Law inside, so next time, even if you trap those Great Demons, you won’t have to worry about them breaking free. Yet your Magical Treasure’s material is lacking; it’s unable to refine them, like the ones such as Zi Tie, only trapping them for a while."

"That’s already enough!"

Li Jing was pleasantly surprised, knowing that Di Jiang was the embodiment of the Spatial Law.

His Spatial Law was naturally unrivaled in the world.

He accepted the pagoda, immediately clasping his fists to Di Jiang to express his gratitude.

Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin stood and bid them farewell, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Trouble had come to Liangshan Island, precisely because of the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

If not for this, the Golden Crow Demon Emperor could not have breached Mount Buzhou.

This was an open scheme, a result of cause and effect.

This catastrophe came from the Western Direction, brought by the Zen self of the Golden Crow Emperor’s Buddhist Sect.

The Western Buddha Ancestor, Tathagata Buddha of the Great Sun!
