“Enough with the nonsense. You came here today to stop me, did you not? Let me tell you this: this starry expanse is mine for the taking. What can you possibly change, even with your help?”
Di Jun spoke with absolute confidence.
“Hmph. Putting aside the fact that Great Sorcerer Hou Yi did not come alone, even if he had, so what? You are nothing more than a defeated general of my sorcerer clan!
Your demon race has already been driven into hiding by my sorcerer clan, too afraid even to step out of the Heavenly Court. This is hardly the first time!”
In an instant, Xingtian strode forward with a huge battle-axe in hand, slammed it down with force, and then taunted Di Jun.
At once, the demon army, seeing the sorcerer warriors and the great sorcerers who had arrived, hurled themselves into battle in a furious clash.
At the same time, the ancient star gods also joined the fray.
“Di Jun, do you dare fight me in the chaos? Are you not coveting this starry dominion of mine? If you have the courage, then follow me!”
With that, the Purple Tenuity Emperor Lord headed into the chaos.
Di Jun’s expression changed, but in the next instant he quickly gave chase.
Seeing this, Hou Yi gave orders to the great sorcerers of the sorcerer clan.
“You lot can have some fun with these demon cubs. I, your ancestral sorcerer, will go take a look in the chaos.”
After speaking, Hou Yi directly took out a great bow and followed them into the chaos.
In the chaos.
By the time Hou Yi reached the edge of the chaos, he discovered that Di Jun was already fighting Purple Tenuity.
As the two of them exchanged blows, countless streams of chaotic energy were thrown into violent upheaval by the clash of their laws and dao rhythms.
“Marvelous, truly marvelous. What a pity, little chick, your cultivation level is there, but your understanding of the laws is utterly worthless! Don’t tell me your cultivation was raised through some shortcut, hm?”
Hou Yi watched the two fighting while endlessly chattering away.
“Hm? It seems the Purple Tenuity Emperor Lord is injured! Just as I thought. With cultivation like yours and such solid mastery of the laws, how could you let this little chick keep hopping around all over the place?”
Purple Tenuity showed no reaction at all to Hou Yi’s commentary.
But Di Jun’s face was already close to breaking.
He was already struggling against Purple Tenuity, and then Hou Yi had to stand to the side and prattle on nonstop.
Saying it was one thing, but he kept mocking him.
One had to know that he walked the path of the Severing of the Three Corpses. After severing two of them, he had already begun to feel that the road ahead was endless.
Now, with Hou Yi mocking him like this, the fact that he had not already snapped was proof enough of his fine upbringing.

How long exactly had passed, Hou Yi could not tell, but after the two had exchanged no fewer than a thousand moves, he had thought the already wounded Purple Tenuity Emperor Lord was about to be defeated.
Who would have thought that Purple Tenuity would suddenly unleash the strongest attack of his life, instantly inflicting grave injuries upon Di Jun.
Seeing Hou Yi still lurking nearby like a tiger eyeing its prey, Di Jun promptly abandoned Purple Tenuity and, without caring for anything else, transformed into a streak of rainbow light and fled into the Primordial Lands.
Watching Di Jun lose and run, Hou Yi could not help but click his tongue.
Then he came before Purple Tenuity and said with regret,
“Why did you let that fellow go? If it had been me, I would have left him in the chaos for good.”
Yet in the next moment, Hou Yi noticed that Purple Tenuity was swaying on his feet.
“No way. So you used up your own origin to strike that fellow!”
Looking at Purple Tenuity’s condition, Hou Yi could not help but feel a headache coming on.
Then he noticed that Purple Tenuity’s aura had grown even weaker.
He hurriedly supported Purple Tenuity and fled back into the Primordial Lands.
By the time Hou Yi and Purple Tenuity returned, the demon race had already been battered to the point of collapse by the sorcerer clan and the ancient star gods.
“Little chick, this is all your demon race is worth, and you still dared to boast? What a disgrace!”
Hou Yi swiftly placed Purple Tenuity within the starry faction, then returned to the side of the sorcerer clan, continuing to jab at Di Jun with more poison.
“Do not rejoice too soon. Until the final moment, everything remains uncertain. What do you think, Purple Tenuity?”
Di Jun looked meaningfully toward Purple Tenuity.
Hou Yi, however, looked at Di Jun in confusion, sensing that something was off. Wasn’t Di Jun badly injured by Purple Tenuity in the chaos?
And yet now he seemed to have only minor injuries.
But Hou Yi failed to notice that Di Jun had suddenly turned his gaze toward the camp of the ancient star gods.
In the next instant, in a flash of lightning and fire.
One figure suddenly shot from among the star gods to the side of the Purple Tenuity Emperor Lord. The speed was so great that no one present managed to react in time.
“Forgive me, Your Majesty. This subordinate can only send you on your way!”
That was all he said.
“Heavenly General Star Lord, what do you think you are doing? Are you not afraid the Emperor Lord will settle accounts with you afterward?”
A star god suddenly shouted at Heavenly General Star Lord.
Yet no one noticed that there seemed to be a trace of unspeakable delight in his eyes.

At the same time, in the ancient starry sky.
A figure stood atop the Purple Tenuity Emperor Star, a water mirror floating before him. It was Chen Rui, who had already been waiting here.
The moment he saw Heavenly General Star Lord make his move, Chen Rui was about to intervene and save Purple Tenuity, but in the next instant his brows lifted.
“No, something is very wrong with that boy Purple Tenuity right now.”
The next moment, Chen Rui’s body erupted with dense, starry law-rhythms, and he rapidly drew upon the origin of the Purple Tenuity Emperor Star.
In an instant, a thread of origin flew swiftly out from the Purple Tenuity Emperor Star, and at the same time, quite a bit of origin power from the ancient starry sky also rushed toward the battlefield.
“It seems there is still a turning point. Let’s see whether this boy can seize it. I hope he can.”
At the same time, Heavenly General Star Lord unleashed his full strength and struck directly at Purple Tenuity.
“Why, so you really are such a disgraceful loser? Resorting to tricks and schemes, your heart is truly filthy!”
Hou Yi frowned deeply, his eyes full of disgust.
“Hmph. So long as success is achieved, why should one care about such things? There are no methods one cannot use. The only fault lies with your stupidity.”
Faced with Hou Yi’s sarcasm, Di Jun did not care in the least; instead, he even seemed to take pride in it.
Yet what they did not know was that Di Jun was thinking:
You make it sound so noble, but if I do not use a few methods, where would I find even a shred of chance? Since I have this ability, why should I not use it?
Even Di Jun himself did not realize how frenzied and ferocious he had become.
But in the next moment, countless swirling streams of multicolored light, together with a thread of purple light that flashed and vanished, poured directly into Purple Tenuity Emperor Lord’s body.
And when Heavenly General Star Lord’s attack landed upon Purple Tenuity Emperor Lord, it did not produce the result he had expected. Instead, it was directly rebounded by the backlash of his own law-rhythms and was sent flying by the force of the countershock.
In the next instant, countless multicolored swirling currents wrapped around Purple Tenuity, forming a multicolored sphere.
“No, impossible! What happened? I clearly hit him! Why did it turn out like this?”
Then, in the next moment, Heavenly General Star Lord cried out,
“No!”
After that, everyone saw streams of origin power rising directly from Heavenly General Star Lord’s body, then swiftly pouring into the multicolored sphere.
“Heavenly Emperor, you deceived me!”
Heavenly General Star Lord suddenly looked toward Di Jun. At this moment, his eyes were filled with boundless hatred.
