70: Chapter 70 Three Hundred and Six Clans - Starry Sky Pattern

At the same time, in the Honghuang World, at the ancestral land of the Pangu Clan—beneath Mount Buzhou.

Five million Pangu warriors were assembled in formation, a dense mass that stretched beyond the horizon. Every one of them exuded a murderous aura that pierced the heavens, their collective ferocity causing the world to change color and the winds and clouds to lose their luster.

High atop a cliff, the Twelve Ancestral Witches stood side-by-side with the Three Pure Ones, high-spirited and full of arrogance and contempt.

This expedition had two objectives: first, to conquer the Endless Starry Sky, and second, to annihilate the newly risen Demon Clan!

"Big Brother, set out with peace of mind. With Senior Brother Taiqing and me guarding the ancestral land, who would dare to invade?" Zhu Jiuyin said to Di Jiang with cupped hands.

For this battle, only he and Laozi remained with three million clansmen to guard their home, while the rest would join the expedition.

"Good! I entrust the ancestral land to you, Worthy Younger Brother Taiqing, and Jiuyin," Di Jiang nodded solemnly.

Laozi cupped his fists and said calmly, "I await your triumphant return."

"Hahaha—the mere Endless Starry Sky cannot withstand a single blow from our Pangu army!" Zhu Rong laughed wildly, his voice shaking the surroundings.

"And that Dijun, a mere insignificant demon, dares to contend for heaven and earth against our Pangu Bloodline? This battle will surely scatter his soul and leave not a scrap of armor!" Yuanshi sneered coldly, his killing intent palpable.

"Hahahaha—"

Everyone burst into laughter, their eyes filled with the confidence of those who looked down upon the world.

"Set out!" Di Jiang gave the command. He turned to face the mighty army below and shouted, "All troops, hear my command—march! Aim straight for the Endless Starry Sky!"

In an instant, five million Pangu Clan warriors soared into the air, surging like a tide, sweeping through the void as they rushed toward the battlefield.

At the same time, inside Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun sat on the Dao platform, eyes closed. Dao rhymes flowed around him, and divine radiance swirled, as if he were one with the Great Dao.

Behind him, the heavenly dao wheel rotated slowly. With every turn, Hongjun's aura rose quietly.

Time passed quietly in the silence. Suddenly, Hongjun's entire body trembled, and his aura erupted, climbing to an unprecedented peak!

A moment later, that majestic aura was completely retracted. Hongjun slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

"I have finally broken through!" On his habitually cold face, a rare look of excitement appeared.

Indeed, Hongjun had broken through, his cultivation officially entering the middle stage of the Saint Realm.

One must know that since he attained the Dao and became a Saint, only three kalpas had passed, and only recently had he ascended to the position of Dao Ancestor. Such a terrifying rate of progress was truly shocking—and this was precisely the privilege of being the Spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao: as long as the Heavenly Dao grows stronger, his own strength will naturally rise with it.

Aside from having to obey the will of the Heavenly Dao, this opportunity was almost flawless.

However, before the joy could dissipate, a silver-white eye suddenly appeared in Zixiao Palace, cold and emotionless, looming over the void.

Hongjun's expression turned solemn, and he immediately knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully. "Greetings, Heavenly Dao!"

The eye gazed at him, its voice as cold as frost: "The Pangu Clan is restless, assembling a massive army with the intent to conquer the Endless Starry Sky. Dismiss the listeners on the Void Square immediately and order them to return to the Honghuang World to resist the foreign enemy."

"Attacking the Endless Starry Sky?" Hongjun frowned slightly, his expression shifting. "Do you mean to unite the various clans of the Honghuang World to resist Pangu together?"

Although he resided in Zixiao Palace, he had a clear understanding of the situation in the Honghuang World.

"Those ancient clans act independently and are divided into many factions. If we wish to unite them, it will take a long time," he said in a low voice.

"Do I not know?" the Heavenly Dao responded. "It is for this very reason that we can use this opportunity to support the Demon Clan, allowing it to rise rapidly so that it may have the power to contend with Pangu in the future."

Hongjun nodded silently. Neither he nor the Heavenly Dao could personally intervene in the struggles of the Honghuang World, just like Jiang Chen and the Samsara World—the giants on both sides stood by, leaving the confrontation to the younger generation.

This was a kind of balance between heaven and earth.

A moment later, Hongjun's voice resounded through the Void Square, reaching the ears of every listener:

"Return to the Honghuang World immediately! The Pangu Clan has dispatched troops to the Endless Starry Sky, plotting to unify the universe, an act that goes against heaven. If anyone can slay a member of the Pangu Clan, they will surely receive the Heavenly Dao's reward, be bestowed with merit, and receive eternal protection."

At the border between the Endless Starry Sky and the Honghuang World, the sea of clouds churned.

Di Jiang led five million Pangu Clan warriors, standing at the summit of the sky. Above them lay the vast and boundless territories of the star domains.

Suddenly, a man carrying a divine bow led over ten thousand clansmen down from the starry sky, landing before Di Jiang.

"Hou Yi pays his respects to the Ancestral Witches!" He knelt on one knee, his tone respectful.

Di Jiang nodded slightly and pointed to the two people beside him: "These two are Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun, two of the Three Great Celestials personally appointed by the Clan Leader. They are both of our Pangu Bloodline, and their status is equal to us Twelve Ancestral Witches."

Hearing this, Hou Yi immediately turned and bowed to the two of them: "Hou Yi greets the two Celestials!"

"Between clansmen, there is no need for such formality." Yuanshi reached out and lightly patted his shoulder with a gentle smile.

"We are all brothers, why be so constrained? Stand up and speak," Tongtian said with a smile, helping him up.

Seeing the two Celestials so approachable, the tension in Hou Yi's heart immediately dissipated.

Then, he took out a star map scroll and waved his hand to unfurl it, which instantly transformed into a massive projection suspended in the air.

"Please look, everyone. This is the distribution map of the forces in the Endless Starry Sky, detailing the territories of each clan..." Hou Yi pointed to the map, his speech rapid yet clear.

"This is the Heaven-Devouring Star Domain, belonging to the Heaven-Devouring Behemoth Clan. This clan feeds on stars, and their combat power is unsurpassed, making them the number one overlord of the Endless Starry Sky!"

"This is the Amethyst Star Domain, controlled by the Amethyst Clan. Their physical bodies are incredibly powerful, yet they still cannot compare to our Pangu Clan!"

"...This is the Ancient Nether Galaxy..."

"...That is the Lantian Star Domain..."

He explained quickly and accurately, and in the blink of an eye, he had clarified the entire landscape of the starry sky.

"In summary, the Endless Starry Sky is divided into 365 star domains, each ruled by an Ancient Starry Sky Clan," Hou Yi concluded.

"365 Ancient Starry Sky Clans?"

Di Jiang and the others looked slightly solemn. For a single Endless Starry Sky to have such a complex array of forces showed just how vast and unpredictable it was.

"What do a mere 365 clans matter?" Tongtian sneered, his heroic spirit surging. "Before our Pangu Clan, these so-called ancient clans are nothing more than insignificant weaklings!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone's spirits lifted, and their battle intent soared. Although the Pangu Clan was small in number, every member was a battle-hardened expert with the terrifying ability to fight those at higher realms.

Among the five million warriors, there were five hundred Daluo Golden Immortals, and the rest were all at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm without exception!

Not to mention Di Jiang and the other eleven Ancestral Witches, plus Tongtian and Yuanshi, totaling thirteen Hunyuan Golden Immortals in command!

Such a lineup was enough to sweep through all forces in the Endless Starry Sky, invincible!

The strongest members of those so-called ancient clans were only at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

For example, the Heaven-Devouring Behemoth Clan, hailed as the most powerful in the Endless Starry Sky, had fewer than twenty Daluo Golden Immortals.

Faced with the Pangu army, where every member was at least a Taiyi Golden Immortal, they were like ants looking up at a mountain—there was simply no comparison!

This was the source of confidence for Di Jiang and the others to conquer the Endless Starry Sky—they were fearless. Even if the 365 Ancient Starry Sky Clans joined forces, they would be doing nothing more than seeking their own deaths!
