Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 59 The Demon God is Born! Wen Zhong is Running Away!

Why didn't he stop him when he took Yuan Futong away?

Why did he only make his move when he was about to deal with Yang Jian? Is Wen Zhong's junior brother really that important to him?

Before he could think further, his magical power surged wildly from his body, and he transformed into a golden light, instantly disappearing from the high platform and fleeing away.

Yuan Futong lay on the ground, watching the great demon of the northern border he relied on escape, his face ashen.

Soon, Zi Shou led a group of soldiers and took Yuan Futong and Wei Ziqi away.

Emperor Yi was also carried away in a sedan chair.

At Wen Zhong's behest, the three major vassal states of the East, West, and South also departed with him.

After all, these three are the biggest destabilizing factors for the Shang Dynasty. If these three were to harbor disloyalty after the sudden disaster in Chaoge, the world might be in danger of changing dynasties. It would be best to keep them under house arrest in the palace.

The remaining feudal lords and court officials who were unable to leave were all deathly pale. Some of them, who were less mentally resilient, immediately urinated and defecated.

A foul stench permeated the area, but Wen Zhong wouldn't let anyone leave, and no one dared to take a single step.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~"

Suddenly, blood bubbles rose from the sea of ​​blood below the platform, as if boiling.

The nine bronze cauldrons in the center of the square trembled simultaneously, and red light overflowed from them, merging with the sea of ​​blood below.

A faint Daoist aura rose between heaven and earth.

A strange feeling arose in everyone's heart.

Su Daji's expression turned solemn: "The laws of the Great Dao are manifesting, and the Daoist rhythm is overflowing. It seems that the barbarians are worshipping the Great Dao."

Yang Jian asked in confusion, "Sacrifice to the Great Dao? What does that mean?"

"Legend has it that when the world was created, three thousand demon gods transformed into the Dao and merged into the Great Dao. This sacrificial array is meant to awaken the demon gods who are dormant in the Great Dao."

After saying this, Su Daji sighed slowly: "The resurgence of the Demon God is unstoppable; Chaoge is doomed!"

"You seem to know quite a lot, but there's no need to worry. These are merely incarnations of demon gods; their true forms have long since been transformed into nourishment for heaven and earth."

Wen Zhong turned around, his third eye scrutinizing Su Daji.

Su Daji felt a chill run down her spine, her whole body going cold from head to toe.

Wen Zhong's aura was completely different from when they first met. Under the gaze of his Heavenly Eye, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She could only lower her head deeply: "This humble girl is merely curious about ancient wonders and dares not show off in front of the Grand Tutor."

Wen Zhong shook his head: "It's alright. You can answer Yang Jian's question, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "If we destroy the Nine Cauldrons, will it be able to stop this demon god from appearing in the world?"

After all, this damned demon god had been absorbing his very essence, and he felt as if his heart was bleeding.

The demonic eye, having just emerged and witnessed this scene, was already in an uproar.

Even if he was envious, his ability to absorb essence was only a hundred meters, far from reaching the nine bronze cauldrons in the center.

It's truly painful to be able to look at something but not eat it.

Su Daji explained to Yang Jian, "The Nine Cauldrons are used as national treasures because they are connected to the land of the Southern Continent. Unless one has the ability to destroy this continent, it is difficult to destroy the Nine Cauldrons. Throughout the entire prehistoric world, I'm afraid only the Three Pure Ones could do it."

"Yang Jian~"

Su Daji looked at Yang Jian, signaling him to leave quickly, as this place was dangerous and if a fight broke out, they, as insignificant beings, would be crushed in an instant.

Yang Jian: "Senior brother, I'm getting ready to leave."

"Where are you going? Do you think your senior brother can't protect you?"

Wen Zhong, fiddling with the array plate in his hand, glanced at Yang Jian with surprise. Before he could continue speaking, he was interrupted by the person next to him.

"Grand Tutor, you are wise! Can we just stand by and watch? My wife and children are still in the city, and we are very worried about them."

Unable to contain their fear, some officials, suppressing their dread of Wen Zhong, asked him a question.

Wen Zhong looked up and a smile appeared on his lips: "Of course not. If you want to leave, you are welcome to do so."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't contain themselves and took off running.

Some people pretended to be calm and chose to believe Wen Zhong.

Since Wen Zhong did not ask everyone to leave, he must have had his reasons.

Those feudal lords and officials who wanted to escape were just leaving the range of the array barrier that Wen Zhong had casually set up.

A sudden change occurred.

The sea of ​​blood below boiled even more violently, and a giant hand formed of solidified blood reached out and swept towards the platform.

However, it was firmly blocked by the array barrier released by Wen Zhong.

The officials and feudal lords who had just escaped were swept into a sea of ​​blood, screaming in agony.

Cries for mercy and for help rang out.

Hopefully, someone on that high platform can lend a helping hand.

"Grand Tutor, save me!"

As the sea of ​​blood churned, many sounds vanished amidst the crimson waves.

All that could be seen were rows of snow-white skeletons drifting among them.

On the high platform, everyone who remained felt a sense of relief.

Suddenly, a loud voice appeared.

"You're not running away? Instead, you've chosen to cower like turtles! How interesting! If you're willing to offer your blood and souls, I'll make your death a little easier."

The sound was like the tolling of a bell.

But the surroundings were empty, with only the sea of ​​blood churning, and no one could be seen speaking.

Using the perspective of the Demon Eye and the ability of the Nirvana Eye to identify spiritual energy, Yang Jian suddenly discovered a cluster of intense spiritual energy in front of him, as bright as the sun.

"A cowardly turtle?"

Wen Zhong stroked his beard, a cold smile playing on his lips, his third eye fixed on a point in the void: "Even that's better than you hiding your face. Are all ancient demon gods like you?"

"court death!"

A jet-black claw suddenly appeared from the air, striking the magic array on the high platform and causing ripples.

As it moved, a huge figure appeared before them.

It was entirely black, with three heads and six arms, and seven eyes on each head, arranged vertically on its forehead.

His legs were treading on a sea of ​​blood, with endless blood and bones clinging to his body.

The hundred-meter-high platform where Yang Jian was located only reached his waist.

The ground was covered with red soil stained with blood.

The sea of ​​blood disappeared, and the essence of the nine bronze cauldrons in the center was exhausted.

The aura emanating from the demon god grew increasingly powerful.

Six arms clasped together and slammed down towards the array barrier.

The barrier trembled.

It trembled along with the barrier.

It was none other than Su Daji's beautiful body.

Yang Jian turned around and saw that Su Daji had somehow clung to half of his body, seeking support.

Hidden within those captivating eyes were terror and...excitement!

A flash of light appeared in mid-air.

Wen Zhong had already left the array barrier at some point.

His figure appeared high in the sky.

His hands continuously formed hand seals towards his feet, while he shouted, "God-Locking Array, activate! Celestial stars, aid me in slaying the god!"

"Ziwei, Beiji, Tianlang, Liuhuo, Yuheng, Yaoguang, Tianquan~~"

As the names of stars were uttered one by one, Wen Zhong spoke them out.

The once bright sky suddenly changed.

The sun was still high in the sky, but it felt like a starry night had fallen.

Countless stars radiate their light, and even under the blazing sunlight, the starlight remains crystal clear.

This creates a spectacular sight where the sun, moon, and stars shine together.

Sensing the danger, the three-headed, six-armed demon on the ground leaped up and slammed its fist toward Wen Zhong.

As they flew into the air, a flash of light appeared on Wen Zhong's body.

However, the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi and the Flying Golden Sword beside Wen Zhong attacked him simultaneously.

Blood splattered all over his body.

But it ignored everything and rushed straight up.

Just as they were about to touch Wen Zhong.

"Buzz~"

A booming sound arose, as if it came from the depths of the earth.

In the sky, streaks of starlight transformed into countless silver ribbons that fell to the ground.

The next moment, the silver ribbons suddenly transformed into chains, binding the ancient demon god.

They forcibly pulled it down from the sky.

"┗|｀O′|┛Aww~~"

He was found bound in the center of the square, struggling to break the chains binding him.

As Yang Jian watched the battle unfold, questions kept arising in his mind.

An ancient demon god? So lacking in prestige! He was immediately overwhelmed by Wen Zhong the moment he showed his face.

Could it be an imposter?

"Run away!"

Wen Zhong's voice suddenly came from the side.

Yang Jian turned around and found that Wen Zhong had reappeared beside him at some point.

He used the Five Elements Escape Technique with unparalleled skill, leaving no trace in his movements.

Before Yang Jian could ask, he took the initiative to explain: "I had never encountered an incarnation of an ancient demon god before. I was itching to use my magic weapon given to me by my master to suppress it, but I did not expect to be so overconfident."

At this time, the Dao's essence had only recently manifested, and its true power had not yet fully formed. With the sacrifice of millions of people, coupled with the essence accumulated from decades of war by the Yin Shang dynasty, the power of this ancient demon god's avatar would inevitably become incredibly terrifying in no time. Perhaps only Master's intervention could suppress it.

"what!"

Yang Jian was shocked. He connected his consciousness with the demonic eye between his eyebrows and looked at the ancient demon god trapped in the center. He was surprised to find that the demon god's spiritual energy was increasing rapidly at all times. He then realized that Wen Zhong's words were true.

"How do we escape?"

Wen Zhong: "I'll take you away. Chaoge is beyond saving. We'll call our master to clean up the mess and rebuild the Shang Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's eyes were filled with shock!

They were on the offensive just now, but now they're running away.

If he remembers correctly, Wen Zhong still has a wisp of the Qingping Sword energy bestowed by the Tongtian Sect Master that he hasn't used yet.

Are you really not going to try to save it again?

If things continue like this, King Zhou will be dead, Su Daji's plan to establish a fiefdom at Xuanyuan Tomb will completely fail, and the Investiture of the Gods will never be able to take place.

This time, Zi Shou has really messed up. He still wants to sit on the throne of Yin Shang? Forget about it!

Upon hearing Wen Zhong's words, Su Daji turned pale, her previous excitement vanished, and her eyes were filled with despair.

It seems that the barbarian shaman had ulterior motives when he agreed to cooperate that day.

They were all tricked by the barbarian shaman.

"Grand Tutor!"

The people standing nearby turned pale, hesitant to speak.

A loud shattering sound rang out.

The starlight chains that had bound the ancient demon god shattered inch by inch.

Instead of making a move, he squatted down, making his three heads level with the platform, a smile on his face.

"I am the ultimate demon god, the end of all the great paths. Why not return to me? I will lead you to roam the torrent of the great paths, to participate in the infinite creation, and to witness the ultimate great path together."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Yang Jian's location with all his eyes: "Especially you, you interesting little fellow!"

Yang Jian was startled by these words and involuntarily stepped back, only to feel something soft and realize that he had bumped into Su Daji.

Wen Zhong waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, my senior brother still has trump cards. He's just an avatar."
