"Boom~"

The fierce and evil aura condensed above Shouyang Mountain as if tangible.

Not far away on the hills, a few young men and women stood atop, looking over here.

The leading man, dressed in a blue Daoist robe, with his black hair meticulously coiled into a Daoist topknot, his ordinary face filled with sorrow and anger, held a crimson Big Flag in his hand, as if ready to charge over.

The several young men and women around him were gathered by his side, seeming to dissuade him.

They were none other than the disciples of Xuan Du, Guang Chengzi, and other major sects who had just gone to rescue people.

At this moment, they also witnessed the scene of the Ancestor Witches besieging Donghuang Taiyi, and saw countless members of the Human Race severely affected, with many casualties in an instant.

Xuan Du, without uttering another word, wanted to step forward to stop them.

Guang Chengzi quickly held him back and said, "Brother Xuan Du, you must stay calm!"

"Those are the legendary Ancestor Witches, and there are six of them together; how could we possibly be their match?"

"Indeed, Brother Xuan Du," Jiutian Xuan Nu also advised, "They are Quasi-Saint powers; we are far too inferior..."

Xuan Du turned to look at Jiutian Xuan Nu, his expression extraordinarily determined.

"As the original Human Ancestor, it is my responsibility to protect the Human Race!"

"Now my kin are suffering from this calamity!"

"No matter what, I must go and save them!"

Jiutian Xuan Nu furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing this, troubled, she said, "But if those Ancestor Witches get carried away in their killing, aren't you risking your own life?"

"What does that matter?"

Xuan Du declared firmly, "What do we cultivators cultivate?"

"Of course, the Dao!"

"What is the Dao?"

"Cultivating longevity, freedom, and ease, that is the Dao!"

"That might be your Dao! My Dao is to protect the Human Race!"

Thus, Xuan Du resolutely said, "Therefore, I will go and make every effort to save people, even if it costs me my life, I am willing!"

With those words, he turned and rushed down the mountain.

Upon seeing this, Jiutian Xuan Nu quickly called from the back, "Brother Dao, you mustn't act impulsively!"

"Each of those Ancestor Witches is formidable, and each of their strengths is on par with the topmost Quasi-Saints, not to mention that now six Ancestor Witches have joined forces… If you rashly advance, you might just be taken as reinforcements from the Heavenly Court?

Moreover, that area is already sealed off by them, Brother Dao, even if you want to save people, is it really possible?

Wouldn't we rather ask Tian Yuan Ancestor to take action?

Isn't he also helping the Human Race?

I think he would not ignore those in peril, right?"

"Yes, Brother Xuan Du," Guang Chengzi also chimed in, "That Tian Yuan Ancestor has just slain a million demon soldiers with one move, clearly valuing the Human Race very highly. I wonder why he hasn't taken action yet?

Is it also because those Ancestor Witches are too formidable, so he doesn't dare provoke them?"

"That may very well be the case..." said Jiutian Xuan Nu, then suddenly pointed to the left front at the peak of a perilous mountain, "Look, isn't that Tian Yuan Ancestor over there watching the battle?"

Everyone looked up and indeed saw the figure of Tian Yuan Ancestor.

He was standing atop the mountain peak, his gaze tightly fixed on the six Ancestor Witches in the distance.

"It seems Brother Guang Chengzi's words were true."

Jiutian Xuan Nu nodded in agreement, "After all, Tian Yuan Ancestor is but one person, and unlike Donghuang Taiyi who has protective treasures like the Chaos Bell..."

Before she could finish, an indescribably huge sound suddenly erupted.

"Retreat!"

The terrifying soundwaves carrying black torrents swept upwards, lifting all the Ancestor Witches into the sky!

Such power in one roar made Jiutian Xuan Nu and the others tremble from afar.

Even though the sound waves were condensed into a straight line shooting into the sky and didn't spread towards them, the residual sounds alone were deafening, making their souls nearly leave their bodies.

One could imagine, if the brunt of the attack had not been borne by those Ancestor Witches, but by them instead, even if they survived, they would have been critically injured!

"This is..."

Jiutian Xuan Nu stared in amazement at that towering figure, her face filled with shock.

Beside her, Guang Chengzi also showed a face of disbelief, muttering as he pointed at that figure, "That immense roar just now, could it have been emitted by him?"

"Yes, exactly!" Xuan Du took a deep breath, full of admiration, "This Tian Yuan Ancestor truly is a model for our generation!"

"Just the power of one roar to blow six Ancestor Witches sky-high, how tremendous is that mana?"

"And although his roar was powerful, it wasn't harsh to us, nor did it harm the ordinary people in the slightest... Such control is truly brilliant!"

Xuan Du couldn't help but secretly marvel.

Jiutian Xuan Nu also marveled.

"This must be the Power of Laws of the Dao of Sound, a rarely comprehended Dao Law. But having seen it today, one truly knows its profound and magical essence..."

"I wonder how this Tian Yuan Ancestor cultivated to reach such a realm!" Guang Chengzi sighed deeply, sincerely saying, "It seems we had underestimated Tian Yuan Ancestor before!"

Above Shouyang Mountain.

The six Ancestor Witches were quite surprised by Yu Yuan's sudden move.

Even Donghuang Taiyi, hiding within the protective barrier of the Chaos Bell, couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, wondering why Yu Yuan would suddenly turn to attack the six Ancestor Witches.
