Chapter 457 Ceasefire! Demon Realm? Witch Realm?
At this moment, Di Jun, who had been resurrected, was also full of surprise.
He clearly remembered that Niu Ben had shattered his sacred body with a single punch, even destroying his divine soul and the Dao fruit of sainthood.
But now, it has come back to life.
"Ha ha!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Di Jun burst into uncontrollable laughter, realizing the true meaning of the saying, "As long as the Way of Heaven is undying, the sage will never die."
What makes a sage a sage is that he is indestructible through countless eons.
It is not because of his immortal physical body or invincible supernatural powers, but because of his saintly status and Dao fruition, which has already merged with the origin of the Heavenly Dao.
If the Way of Heaven is immortal, then even if a sage is killed, he can be reborn from the Way of Heaven and return.
Of course, the price of resurrection is also severe.
Overjoyed, Di Jun's laughter immediately subsided.
He could clearly sense that his aura had fallen from its peak at the beginning of his sainthood to the level of a sub-saint.
The once secure holy position, though not yet collapsed, is now teetering on the brink of collapse.
If he were to die again, the very foundation of his sainthood would likely be shaken, and even if he were to be resurrected, it would be difficult for him to regain his sainthood.
"My cultivation level... has returned to that of a Quasi-Saint?"
Di Jun muttered something in surprise, a hint of uncontrollable humiliation and resentment flashing in his eyes.
He harbored boundless hatred for Niu Ben!
Then, he slowly raised his head, and his gaze met Niu Ben's.
When Di Jun saw Niu Ben's indifferent gaze, his heart trembled. His resentment towards Niu Ben vanished instantly, replaced by deep apprehension.
Honestly, just thinking about Niu Ben's punch earlier made him feel a wave of lingering fear.
Moreover, Di Jun was fully aware of this.
That punch that made even his sacred soul tremble was definitely not Niu Ben's limit.
Back when Niu Ben fought against the Holy Ancestor in the Devouring Universe Realm, he used two innate treasures!
"Gurgle..."
Upon thinking of this, Di Jun couldn't help but shudder and exclaimed in a low voice:
"Just how strong is this Niu Ben?"
"Even though I have attained sainthood, I am still no match for him."
Just as Di Jun was lost in thought, Niu Ben suddenly asked:
"Di Jun".
"Can you listen to me properly now?"
"If that doesn't work, I wouldn't mind bombing you again!"
As he spoke, Niu Ben's eyes flashed with a chilling coldness, and a murderous aura instantly enveloped Di Jun.
"what?"
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Di Jun's heart trembled. If it had been before, he would never have been convinced.
Having personally experienced Niu Ben's power, Di Jun dared not say anything more.
He knew very well that if he were to be killed by Niu Ben again, even if he were to be resurrected, it would probably take endless years to fully recover.
If one is not careful, one may never be able to return to the state of a sage.
"Giggle!"
Di Jun was seething with hatred, but dared not speak out.
Seeing that Di Jun did not respond, Niu Ben remained indifferent, which made him realize that Di Jun had been intimidated by his strength after being killed by him once.
Then, Niu Ben's gaze shifted and landed on Dijiang, the ancestral witch of the Wu tribe.
"Emperor Jiang, what does your witch clan have to say?"
Niu Ben asked calmly.
His previous appearance on the battlefield of Buzhou Mountain was to mediate and persuade the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan to cease hostilities.
Upon hearing this, Di Jun was naturally unwilling, which is why Niu Ben attacked and killed him with a single punch!
"what?"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's words, Dijiang Zuwu was taken aback.
Just now, he was shocked to see Niu Ben kill Di Jun, but he was also overjoyed.
Thinking that without Emperor Jun, a saint, to oversee the demon race, it would be easy for the witch race to destroy the demon race.
But right now, Niu Ben's meaning is very clear: he wants the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan to cease hostilities.
If Dijiang chooses not to obey, he will inevitably suffer the same fate as Dijun.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, and he replied:
"Listen...listen to what Daoist Niu Ben has to say!"
Although Emperor Jiang Zuwu was very unwilling, he had no choice but to say it.
Niu Ben's strength is undeniable.
Dijiang also attained sainthood by refining the crystal of a saint, and his strength was almost the same as that of Dijun.
If Niu Ben can destroy Di Jun with one punch, he can certainly destroy him with one punch too!
For Dijiang, he had no other choice.
After hearing Dijiang Zuwu's reply, Niu Ben smiled with satisfaction and then said:
"In that case..."
"The witch clan and the demon clan must immediately withdraw their troops and cease fighting!"
Do either of you have any objections?
After saying that, Niu Ben's gaze lingered on Di Jun and Di Jiang for a moment.
Upon hearing this, the two of them naturally dared not object.
The many powerful beings from the primordial era who were watching the battle were utterly shocked by this.
"It seems the Lich War is about to come to an end!"
"Daoist Niu Ben is too strong."
Even though Di Jun and Di Jiang have already attained sainthood through the righteous path, they wouldn't dare to disobey!
"Niu Ben killed the saint Di Jun with a single punch earlier, who dares to object?"
"Speaking of which, the fact that Di Jun could be resurrected, is it truly a case of the Heavenly Dao's immortality and the saints' invincibility?"
"..."
Just as many powerful figures were marveling at this, a system notification sounded in Niu Ben's mind:
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the God-level Choice mission!]
[Reward: 2 Auxiliary Small Worlds]
[Do you want to retrieve it immediately?]
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben had an idea and immediately chose to extract the funds.
"System, claim your reward!"
After extracting the two subsidiary small worlds that were the system reward, Niu Ben slowly raised his hands.
From his left hand, a small, hazy world, its edges shrouded in chaotic energy, with faint outlines of mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars visible within, slowly emerged.
And in the gesture of his right hand, another small world, equally vast but with a completely different aura of laws, also appeared.
These two small worlds, though not as vast as the primordial world, are still complete and independent miniature worlds, large enough to accommodate countless living beings to thrive and multiply.
Most importantly, they all depend on the primordial world for their existence, like the "vassal realms" of the primordial world.
It can draw upon the power of the primordial origin to grow, yet it remains independent of the celestial cycle and calamities of the primordial main world.
All living beings were shocked to see the small world that Niu Ben held up in his hands.
"this?"
"What's going on?"
"Does Daoist Niu Ben possess two small worlds?"
"Was it just made up on the spot?"
"Such methods, are they truly something only a sage could possess?"
"What is Niu Ben's intention in unleashing these two small worlds at this moment?"
"..."
Just as many primordial creatures were shocked and at a loss, Niu Ben calmly said:
"These two small worlds are called... the Demon Realm and the Witch Realm."
"Your two races have committed countless murders and are burdened with heavy karma. Furthermore, due to personal grudges, you broke the Buzhou Mountain, causing the heavens and earth to collapse and the primordial world to suffer calamity."
"If we continue to linger in the Lord's world, the entanglement of cause and effect will inevitably bring even greater disasters."
"Today, I grant you a glimmer of hope."
