Primordial Era: I am the Bull Demon King, the First Demon of All Time

At this moment, Commander Black Hawk finally realized that he had indeed underestimated Chen Jing.

Two enormous figures confronted each other. Although Chen Jing's size was only one-twentieth of Black Hawk Commander's original size, the energy he released was in no way inferior.

"Want to kill me? Then come and fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jing charged towards the Black Eagle Commander in the sky.

Black Hawk Commander snapped out of his shock, swung his giant claws, and launched an attack on Chen Jing.

The battle escalated into a clash of giants, with the surrounding demons all giving way to avoid being injured by the aftershocks.

Chen Jing soared into the air, while Black Hawk Commander swooped down from the sky.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the two collided violently, the impact deafening and kicking up clouds of dust.

Intense energy waves and scorching heat radiated outwards from them.

The power Chen Jing released completely exceeded the level of the mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal, advancing him to the late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Strangely, after the massive collision, the world suddenly fell silent, leaving only the demon race's unease and the dust filling the sky.

Soon, a strong stench of blood filled the air, making the surrounding demons uneasy but they dared not investigate.

After a long while, the dust settled, revealing a huge corpse covered in blood lying on its side, with a pool of blood flowing beneath it.

There was a huge hole in the corpse of the shadowy commander, and his claws were broken; the scene was gruesome.

The demons were thrown into a panic, the commander was killed, and Chen Jing disappeared without a trace.

The demons scattered in terror, especially the powerful demons at the Golden Immortal level.

Chen Jing took a desperate gamble and killed Black Hawk Commander, but when Black Hawk Commander transformed into his true form, the resulting impact also severely injured Chen Jing.

He fled the Shadow Commander's cave with his injuries, without even having time to check the silver treasure chest he had obtained.

Chen Jing understood that the Shadow Commander was not an ordinary wandering demon, but a member of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan.

Staying here means almost certain death.

Although Chen Jing is a disciple of a sage, this identity still makes people wary.

But he won't rely on that title to save his life.

Faced with this predicament, Chen Jing decided to adopt the best strategy from the Thirty-Six Stratagems—escape.

Despite its injuries, it forced itself to fly hundreds of thousands of kilometers before finally stopping.

He found a secluded cave, set up protective measures, and then entered to recuperate in seclusion.

Chen Jing is recovering his cultivation in this secluded cave.

On the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan.

Dozens of exhausted figures appeared outside the South Heavenly Gate.

Several powerful demons at the Golden Immortal level hurriedly headed towards a certain place in the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, while the others scattered.

The gatekeeper of the South Heavenly Gate was puzzled: "Why are these demon generals so exhausted?"

But seeing the panicked and hurried appearance of these figures, he did not ask any questions.

The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race has a strict hierarchical system, and great demons above the Golden Immortal level are called generals.

Those at the Taiyi realm and above are called commanders, and those at the Daluo realm and above are called kings.

In the Great Luo Realm, the first group to follow the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi included Bai Ze, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Fei Dan, Fei Lian, Jiu Ying, Ci Tie, Shang Yang, Qin Yuan, and Gui Che. They were revered as the Ten Great Demon Saints.

These ten demon saints possessed immense power, with some even reaching the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Ji Meng, the Demon Saint, was among them.

Ji Meng has a human head and a dragon body, and flows with the blood of the dragon race. He ranks among the top three of the Ten Great Demon Saints and is a great demon highly valued by the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

In the great battle against the Wu tribe, Ji Meng and his army were the main fighting force.

Black Hawk Commander is a key pawn that Ji Meng has placed on the prehistoric continent.

The Second War between the Lich King and the Demon King ended with the intervention of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, establishing a situation where the Demon Clan ruled the heavens and the Lich Clan controlled the earth.

The primordial continent was vast and incomparable, and the population of the Wu tribe was insufficient to fully control this land.

Black Hawk Commander was originally just a wandering demon. After being subdued by Demon Saint Ji Meng, he was not allowed to go to the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan.

Instead, he was left to stay where he was to gather intelligence on the prehistoric world in order to keep track of its dynamics.

In the Ji Meng Hall of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, there was no one else but the imposing figure of the Demon Saint Ji Meng.

Ji Meng, the Demon Saint, was sitting cross-legged, cultivating.

At this moment, several figures appeared before the main hall, knelt down, and shouted, "Greetings, Demon Saint!"

Ji Meng, the Demon Saint, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the figures outside the hall, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Who are you?"

A voice rang out from the kneeling crowd: "We are all under the command of Commander Black Hawk, and we have accompanied the Commander to meet the Demon Saint."

Upon hearing this, Ji Meng frowned and asked, "Where's Black Hawk?"

"My Lord Demon Saint, Commander Black Eagle is dead," a great demon replied in a trembling voice.

Their commander was dead, but they escaped. The great demon was afraid that Ji Meng would kill them in anger, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

After a while, a calm voice came from the main hall, but the tone revealed murderous intent and anger.

"Tell me in detail how you died."

The great demon then recounted the events in detail.

However, he was unaware that Chen Jing had killed a Taiyi Golden Immortal and several powerful demons at the Golden Immortal level outside.

"How dare a member of the Witch Clan trespass into Black Eagle's territory and kill him?"

"This witch clan member must know that the Black Hawk belongs to our demon clan."

When Ji Meng heard that the figure had grown to be tens of feet tall, he immediately concluded that Chen Jing was a member of the Wu tribe.

Having fought against the Wu tribe for many years, Ji Meng knew that the Wu tribe possessed such abilities, and as far as he knew, only the Wu tribe had such abilities.

But when he heard that the witch clansman had disappeared after killing only the Black Eagle Commander, Ji Meng showed confusion.

Given the deep-seated hatred between the Lich and Demon races, the person who could kill Black Eagle would not let go of the demons under his command.

Unless, in the battle against the Black Hawk, this witch barely managed to win and was also seriously injured.

Ji Meng was assessing various possibilities in his mind.

"Your subordinate would never dare to deceive the Demon Saint!"

Hearing the anger in Ji Meng's tone, the kneeling demons panicked, but they didn't notice the witch clan that Ji Meng mentioned.

"Hmph, you're all trash, get out of my way!"

Upon hearing Ji Meng's words, the powerful demons immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly fled.

Not long after they left, Ji Meng also quickly left the Demon Clan Heavenly Court.

……

Months later, the damage from that battle had been fully recovered.

After recovering, the first thing Chen Jing did was open the silver treasure chest that he had risked his life for.

"Congratulations, host, you have opened the silver treasure chest and received four million merits."

The system's voice rang in Chen Jing's mind.

Upon learning that he had gained four million merits, Chen Jing smiled with satisfaction and was extremely excited.

This hard work paid off.

Having experienced the benefits of merit, Chen Jing's desire for it intensified to the extreme.

Whether it's to improve one's cultivation level or to strengthen one's physical body, using merit points can significantly increase efficiency.

This would also save a lot of time, which is exactly what he lacks now.

"Let the merits descend even more fiercely!"

Chen Jing shouted in his heart.

Then, a doubt arose in his mind.

Based on my experience of opening the treasure chest four times, the items inside are random.

Although higher-level treasure chests contain better items, there is no obvious pattern overall.

The amount of merit is also random, not a fixed value.

Chen Jing calmed his joy, released the restrictions he had set, and came out of the cave, preparing to leave quickly.

He has just eliminated a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal demon from the demon race, and should leave this dangerous place immediately; this is the wisest decision he can make.

Even though they were hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, Chen Jing still felt uneasy.

By this time, news of Black Hawk's death must have already reached the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan.

Facing thousands of demon clan members, Chen Jing, having already fought a great battle, was no longer able to fight. If anyone else caught up with him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, Chen Jing's body was injured and he needed to recover as soon as possible.

Chen Jing immediately took off and flew swiftly eastward.

"Bang!"

On this day, Chen Jing was suddenly hit by a powerful blast of air while flying and was thrown backward.

"What?!"

Chen Jing couldn't help but curse.

During the backward flight, his divine sense spread out, and he took in the scenery for thousands of miles.
