Mythic Cultivation: My Tongtian can’t be this Cute

Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Laozi flew out of Thirty Three Heavens through the South Heaven Gate to watch the battle. Several other invitees, such as Redcloud Ancestor and Zhen Yuanzi, did the same.

The strength of the Demon Clan and Titan Tribes surprised the onlookers. Only the Three Purities could keep calm in the face of the power between these two overlord forces. However, even their faces changed when they saw the Pangu Genesis Formation.

Tongtian had already experienced Pangu's strength through the remnant memory of the Chaos Fiendgod of Time. She knew that the Pangu formed by the twelve titans paled compared to the genuine thing. The fake couldn't even capture one-hundredth of Pangu's charm.

But the Pangu Genesis still recreated an authentic chaos fiendgod.

The fake Pangu may be over a hundred times weaker than the real Pangu, but it was still an existence that crossed the threshold of a Golden Immortal of Primordial Origin. Sweat dripped down between Tongtian’s brows just from being in its presence, and the fake Pangu wasn't even focused on them.

The false Pangu raised his hand above his head. "COME!"

The siblings all felt their body almost involuntarily fly towards the Pangu Genesis Formation, but they curbed that subconscious act and stabilized themselves.

"Bastard," Yuanshi cursed. The Pangu Genesis Formation wanted to summon them and recreate Pangu's spirit, but that would mean the death of the Three Purities. Even Laozi's indifferent face held a trace of hatred. Tongtian had a thoughtful expression on her face as she continued to stare at the false Pangu.

Seeing as he couldn't summon the Three Purities, the fake Pangu frowned but still kept his hand raised. "COME!"

Taiyi frowned when he felt the Chaos Bell vibrate as if wanting to fly towards the fake Pangu's hands. He grabbed the Chaos Bell and slapped it, causing it to ring loudly.

Light coalesced above the fake Pangu's hand, taking on a vague shape, but shattered into countless fragments before it could fully form. The fake’s face soured with displeasure. He roared and unleashed a punch toward the top echelon of the Demon Clan.

"Brother, wait!" Di Jun shouted when he saw Taiyi rush forward.

Taiyi smashed the Chaos Bell towards the Pangu Genesis Formation. The fake Pangu's fist struck the bell, and the resulting tremor traveled over a hundred thousand li. Everyone within that distance heard a bell ring clamoring inside their ear, and those too weak fainted.

Taiyi spat out a mouthful of blood as he flew back, crashing into Buzhou Mountain. Blood started to leak from his nine orifices, and Di Jun quickly flew to his side.

"Are you alright?" Di Jun asked.

"I'm fine," Taiyi said, standing up and wiping the blood from his lips. However, his face was still pale.

The rest of the Demon Clan turned silent at the absolute difference in power while the Titan Tribe cheered. Less needed to be said about the third-party observers.

Tongtian frowned as she watched the fake Pangu sluggishly walk towards South Heaven Gate. The power it displayed did not match its impressive aura. Rather than a Golden Immortal of Primordial Origin, it displayed power closer between a Quasi-Saint and Saint.

"Scatter!" Di Jun shouted when he saw the Pangu Genesis Formation punch out again. This time, it was faster than the previous punch.

The demons didn't need to be told twice, fleeing as far as possible from the punch, but a few were still caught in the shockwave and exploded. Most suffered major injuries, and a few directly died. After a few more punches, the casualties on the demon side increased.

Di Jun could see that the Pangu Genesis Formation was growing stronger and stronger with each punch. No, to be more precise, the twelve titans controlling the Pangu Genesis Formation were growing more accustomed to its power.

"Form the Starry Sky War Array!" Di Jun shouted.

"Your Majesty, it isn't complete. We've only refined the formation flags for the three hundred sixty-five major stars!" Bai Ze shouted.

"We don't have any other choice. If this continues, we'll perish!" Di Jun said. He would rather expose their cards early and incomplete than face destruction.

"Whatever you're planning, do you think we'll let you?" Di Jiang's voice from the fake Pangu as he reached towards Di Jun.

"Demons, protect us!" Di Jun shouted. Under his command, demons at and under the profound level began charging at the Pangu Genesis Formation without a care for their lives.

"Mere bugs!" the Pangu Genesis Formation shouted as he waved his hands, instantly killing all those rushing towards him. But their sacrifice bought enough time.

Di Jun took the position of the Purple Majesty Star; Taiyi took the position for the Supreme Yang Star; Nuwa took the position for the Supreme Yin Star; Fuxi, the ten demon sages, and other demons of at least at the golden immortal level took their positions.

The Starry Sky appeared above Buzhou Mountain. Starlight shone from the three hundred sixty-five major stars and onto the demons correlating to them, forming a miniature Starry Sky.

The aura of the Starry Sky War Array trembled, sometimes blazing strong but other times flickering weakly. This was the result of only a third of the demons being Golden Immortals of the Great Firmament. The rest were split between Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals of the Great Unity, forming an imbalance.

"Haha, is this what you wanted to rely on to stop us?" the fake Pangu laughed as he unleashed two punches.

Di Jun snorted. He didn't have the spare concentration to speak nonsense with the titans. Under his control and the cooperation of the other demons, the Starry Sky War Array expanded and engulfed the Pangu Genesis Formation within.

Luckily for them, they were at the peak of Buzhou Mountain, the place where the Starry Sky was closest to the land.

Each demon transformed into blazing stars that sped towards the fake Pangu. When the first star hit, the Pangu Genesis Formation halted for a moment before angrily slapping the star away.

Di Jun frowned when the demon controlling the star died, and the formation flag shattered, further destabilizing the Starry Sky War Array. Worse, that demon's sacrifice only amounted to a small scratch on the Pangu Genesis Formation.

Neither he nor the rest of the demons could shirk back in the face of death. If they faltered now, the Pangu Genesis Formation would be free to wreak havoc as it pleased.

With the determination to die, Di Jun attacked the fake Pangu, smashing the Purple Majesty Star against the Pangu Genesis Formation. Not just him, but Taiyi, Fuxi, Nuwa, the ten demon sages, and the rest of the demons fought like crazy.

With every clash, more and more wounds appeared on the fake Pangu, but simultaneously, more and more demons perished. When a third of the demons forming the Starry Sky War Array died, the array collapsed.

Di Jun, Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Bai Ze, the surviving demon sages, and demons all collapsed onto the ground. The weaker ones directly died from the backlash, while blood leaked profusely from the stronger demon's nine orifices.

Although Di Jun and the demon emperors survived, three of the ten demon sages perished during the confrontation.

"Hahaha, you stupid crow, time for you to die!" Zhurong's voice came from the Pangu Genesis Formation.

The fake Pangu locked its hands together and raised them above its head. With a roar, it prepared to smash it down like a hammer, ending Di Jun's life. If he died, he would be the shortest-lived Heavenly Emperor, dying after not even one day.

But midway, the Pangu Genesis Formation froze. Cracks spread throughout its body where the stars had injured it. Like a porcelain statue, the cracks grew until a blood-red light spilled out of them. The Pangu Genesis Formation shattered, its skin falling off like broken pieces of glass, revealing the twelve titans encased in red light. The red light evaporated like smoke, and the twelve titans fell to the ground, much like the demons had done earlier.

The twelve titans didn't spit out blood as the demons did, but their aura drastically dropped. They barely had the strength of a Golden Immortal of the Great Firmament at this stage.

Di Jiang glared at Di Jun and then glanced at the demons closing in on them. During the battle earlier, the Pangu Genesis Formation only managed to wipe out a small portion of the demons before Di Jun formed the Starry Sky War Formation and blocked them.

If they forced it, they could probably kill Di Jun, Taiyi, Nuwa, and Fuxi, but by then, they would be swarmed by the demons. It remained to be seen how many of the twelve titans would survive.

"Retreat!" Di Jiang ordered.

"What? We have them on the ropes!" Zhurong protested as he pointed to Di Jun and the other demon emperors.

"Follow Di Jiang's orders! The losses would be too much if we did kill them," Gonggong said as he ran. "Unless you want your brothers and sisters to die just for that crow!"

Zhurong roared with fury. He glared one last time at Di Jun before following the rest of the titans to safety. The Demon Clan watched as the Titan Tribe retreated.

Di Jun didn't order the demons to attack either. The demons had been cowed by the Titan Tribe's Pangu Genesis Formation. He feared that he would lose the Demon Clan's trust if he ordered them to attack now. In addition, even if they eliminated the Titan Tribe, the loss would be too high and would only benefit the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Did Dong Wanggong think he couldn't spot him?

Di Jun knew Dong Wanggong's thoughts. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Wanting to be the oriole? Dream on!

The invitees left by themselves without Di Jun needing to send them off. After the debacle with the Titan Tribe, how could Heavenly Court still have the spare thought to entertain them?

---

After the Titan Tribe returned to their headquarters at the base of Buzhou Mountain, all twelve titans entered Pangu Temple. They immediately used the blood pool to recuperate their loss from the damage suffered from using the Pangu Genesis Formation.

As Di Jiang had expected, the Pangu Genesis Formation placed too much pressure on them. Even with flesh as strong as theirs, they could not bear the burden for long.

Still, it was not without gain. After experiencing the Pangu Genesis Formation, Di Jiang experienced the fleshly prowess of a true chaos fiendgod and found that the shackles limiting him had weakened.

Not just him but the other titans had also gained a similar feeling. Given enough time, they would be able to break into the Quasi-Saint Realm with strength, greatly boosting their powers. And once all twelve of them were Quasi-Saints, they could bear the power of the Pangu Genesis Formation better. Their control would improve, and they could utilize the formation's strength better, but the same weakness remained. If they could no longer bear the formation's pressure, they would receive a backlash and suffer for it, like now.

Once all the titans finished recuperating, Di Jiang asked for the causality report. He frowned when he heard that the Titan Tribe had lost over thirty percent of their members, but it was not all without gain.

"Kuafu, Chiyou, and Houyi have progressed well. If nurtured well, they might reach our level," Di Jiang said.

Although Kuafu, Chiyou, and Houyi had reached the equivalent of a Golden Immortal of the Great Firmament, the twelve titans were still more powerful at the same level. "Tianwu, Houtu, make sure to pay close attention to them.

The Titan Tribe was further split into twelve smaller tribes. Kuafu came from the Tianwu Tribe, while Chiyou and Houyi came from the Houtu Tribe.

"Now, let's move on to important business. Does anyone have a method to eliminate the Pangu Genesis Formation’s backlash? At this rate, we might injure our foundation if we used it two or three more times," Di Jiang said.

Upon hearing this, all the titan's expressions turned grave.

"When the demons set up their array, I noticed that each one carried a flag," Houtu said. "Perhaps we can emulate them? Or at least have the flags bear part of the pressure to lessen the strain on us."

"That idea seems probable, but does anyone here know how to refine a formation flag?" Jiuyin asked.

At his question, all twelve titans fell silent. None of them had spirit, which was required to understand the law, but it also greatly added to refining artifacts. The most refining the Titan Tribe could do was shape materials.

"Forget it. Let's focus on the third matter," Di Jiang said. "What can we do about the Demon Clan, no, the Heavenly Court? I don't know what they did, but large amounts of merit descended."

"I don't know what use merit has, but I'm afraid it can increase the Heavenly Court's strength in the long run. What can we do to replicate their feat?" Di Jiang asked.

"Hmpf, I say ignore it," Zhurong said. "I refuse to seek acknowledgement from the Way of Heaven! Merit comes from there. It's not worth anything to us at all."

"Stop being so stubborn," Gonggong said. "We can't ignore the Way of Heaven no matter how much we dismiss it. It's a power that can damage us."

"What, are you afraid?"

"Yes," Gonggong answered bluntly. "The Heavenly Court already has five quasi-saints. Who is to say they won't have more in the future? They also have that Starry Sky War Array. At a single glance, you can tell it's incomplete. As long as they have enough Quasi-Saints and they possess formation and are willing to pay the price, they can defeat us."

"So we have to eliminate them as soon as possible. We should attack them right now," Zhurong said.

Gonggong looked as if he was torn between smashing Zhurong's head into the ground or covering his face with his hand. He settled for turning away and ignoring the idiot.

"Let's form the Pangu Genesis Formation and kill as many demons as we can," Zhurong continued. He looked around, but none of the titans agreed with him. Angry, he snorted and shut up.

"How about we worship Father God?" Houtu suggested. "Father God incarnated into all things, the Way of Heaven should also be incarnated from Father God. Since the Heavenly Court rules the skies, why don't we rule the five regions?"

Upon hearing Houtu's suggestion, Di Jiang and the other titan's eyes lit up. They began discussing the exact details of the ceremony, but stopped when Houyi entered Pangu Temple.

"Honored Titans, the Three Purities appeared outside of the Titan Tribe, asking to see you."

Di Jiang frowned with worry. Why did the Three Purities come? To seek revenge?
