Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 158 Battle of Zhuolu

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan was rescued by Yinglong. Although he suffered a defeat, his main force was still intact. Taking advantage of Chiyou's predicament, he quickly led his army to retreat and think of a new strategy.

Meanwhile, Chi You was trapped by Yinglong's magic, but due to his superior strength, he eventually broke free.

Seeing that the human army had retreated, he was furious, but he did not pursue them. Instead, he reorganized the Jiuli tribe's army.

Previously, Yinglong used rainwater to disperse the great formation of the Jiuli tribe. Although it was fierce, the people of the Jiuli tribe all had the blood of the Wu tribe.

Moreover, through the magic passed down from Chi You and careful training, their bloodlines have become much stronger.

Therefore, although the army was temporarily thrown into disarray and its formation collapsed, Chi You quickly rallied the army with a single call to arms.

It was then reassembled back to its original form.

After this ordeal, Chi You couldn't help but think of seeking outside help. So, after some deliberation, Chi You ordered his eighty-one brothers to temporarily take command of the army.

He then traveled to the sacred land of the Wu tribe in the northern part of the prehistoric world, the Pangu Palace, to seek the support of the Wu tribe.

It is unknown how Chi You persuaded the Wu tribe, but in the end, Chi You brought back two top-level shamans from the Pangu Palace.

They are named Feng Bo and Yu Shi.

With the addition of these two great shamans, the Jiuli tribe's army suddenly became much stronger, and Chi You was full of confidence, planning to fight Xuanyuan again and finish the battle in one fell swoop.

However, while Chi You was on his way to seek help, things were even more outrageous on Xuanyuan's side.

First, the Supreme Saint, the leader of the Human Religion, bestowed upon him a precious sword, which he then entrusted to Xuanyuan.

This sword was forged by Laozi from the Demon Slayer Sword that the demon race had forged during the previous Lich War. After it was forged, its sharpness was not diminished, but it lost the original resentment and ferocity of the human race.

Instead, the aura of the human race swirls around it, and holding this sword, one can feel the power of the belief of the entire human race, which empowers the sword.

This sword was bestowed upon Xuanyuan by Laozi, hence its other name, the Xuanyuan Sword. One side of the sword is engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other side is engraved with mountains, rivers, and plants. One side of the hilt is inscribed with the art of farming and animal husbandry, while the other side is inscribed with the strategy for unifying the four seas.

Upon obtaining it, Xuanyuan was immediately enlightened and understood many things. He realized that, like Fuxi and Shennong, Xuanyuan's origins were also extraordinary.

He was born in response to the natural order of heaven and earth, and it is precisely because of this that he was born as a human emperor, and thus this calamity of slaughter occurred.

After obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword, various rogue cultivators came to join them, and Daoist Duobao and Guangchengzi also returned to the mountain to invite more helpers.

Xuanyuan's forces suddenly became extremely powerful.

Just then, Chi You challenged him to a duel again, and Xuanyuan, full of ambition, agreed. The two sides agreed to a decisive battle at Zhuolu Plain.

Soon after, the two armies clashed again at Zhuolu, and this battle was even more brutal than the previous one.

The human army was no longer easily routed and utterly helpless.

On one side, Yinglong used the same trick again, stirring up a gale and bringing down a torrential rain. On the other side, the two great shamans, Fengbo and Yushi, were even more terrifying in their power, drawing upon the might of heaven and earth and unleashing a fury that far surpassed Yinglong's.

Although Yinglong suffered a great defeat, there were still more than ten people under Xuanyuan's command whose strength far surpassed Yinglong's.

Among them was a female cultivator named Nüba, who was a wisp of solar essence that fell into the primordial world when Emperor Jun perished.

By a twist of fate, she came into contact with the yin energy, thus giving birth to a spirit, namely Nüba.

Nuwa inherited the essence of Dijun's true solar fire, which was extremely yang and strong. However, it also combined with the yin energy, so it did not manifest the true solar fire, but instead transformed into a more bizarre yang fire.

When Nüba was first born, she was ignorant and could not control the yang fire. Therefore, wherever she went, the land was scorched and countless lives were lost.

At that time, many cultivators besieged Nüba, attempting to kill her, but they were detected by the divine sense of Zhenyuan Saint in Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi pitied his ignorance and lack of intention to do evil, so he rescued him, made an exception and took him into his sect, and taught him the supernatural power of fire control.

At this point, Chi You and Xuanyuan were vying for the position of supreme ruler. Zhen Yuanzi foresaw Nüba's opportunity and sent her away to assist Xuanyuan.

Therefore, just as Yinglong was about to be defeated by Fengbo and Yushi, Nüba stepped forward and used her supernatural powers, instantly manifesting endless flames in the wind and rain.

Nüba was originally the essence of the true fire of the sun. At this moment, she used her supernatural powers to communicate with heaven and earth, and immediately drew down the most yang and masculine energy of the sun.

In a daze, amidst the raging winds and rain stirred up by the Wind God and Rain Master, it seemed as if an enormous sun suddenly appeared.

Nüba stood at the center of the sun, unleashing terrifying heat and radiating light in all directions. In an instant, she shattered the magic of the Wind God and Rain Master.

Both great shamans' expressions changed; they hadn't expected the human race to have such powerful allies.

Yinglong seized the opportunity, hiding above the heads of the two great shamans, and suddenly attacked.

With a single claw strike, it shattered the Wind God's head on the spot, scattering his true spirit and causing him to die an untimely death.

Although Yu Shi was alert and dodged Ying Long's attack, he was surprised to find another beam of light in the sky, even more dazzling than the sun that Nü Ba had transformed into.

It was a mirror-like light.

Like Yinglong, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is a powerful figure sent down by the Heavenly Emperor Haotian from the current Thirty-Three Heavens Court.

In particular, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was bestowed with the Haotian Mirror, which she carried with her at all times.

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden used the Haotian Mirror to shine a beam of light, which immediately froze the Rain Master. Yinglong's attack missed, so he simply took a bite.

Poor Yu Shi, his entire head was bitten off by Ying Long, and blood gushed from his throat.

It splashed all over Yinglong.

The two top shamans that Chi You painstakingly invited back from the Wu tribe were killed just like that.

In an instant, the immortals were roused and rushed forward to fight, especially the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Guang Chengzi unleashed the Heaven-Turning Seal, smashing a large area with a single blow. Apart from Chi You, no one in the Jiuli tribe could withstand the power of the Heaven-Turning Seal.

The other eleven Golden Immortals also went on a killing spree.

Chi You roared repeatedly, but he was surrounded by several experts, including the only direct disciple of the Taiqing Sect, who was also the senior brother of the three religions, named Xuan Du, also known as the Grand Master Xuan Du.

There was the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, Yun Zhongzi. There were also Daoist Duobao, Daoist Randeng, and so on.

Especially the Daoist Ran Deng, a former guest of the Zixiao Palace, possessed extraordinary supernatural powers. However, the Daoist Ran Deng's visit was merely on the orders of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to look after these juniors.

Therefore, Daoist Ran Deng did not exert any effort, but merely provided cover for the others.

Poor Chi You, although he had the opportunity to cultivate great magic, how could he withstand the onslaught of this crowd? In the end, he was defeated and captured.

When Xuanyuan shouted repeatedly and finally managed to stop the fighting, nine-tenths of the Jiuli tribe had already been wiped out.

They were nearly wiped out.

Needless to say, Chi You's eighty-one brothers were all killed long ago.

Looking at the blood-soaked battlefield of Zhuolu, Xuanyuan couldn't help but sigh and said to Daoist Duobao, "With such carnage, how can I explain this to my brother, Emperor Shennong?"

Daoist Duobao, however, didn't quite agree, saying, "On the battlefield, who can hold back?"

"not to mention……"

Daoist Duobao gestured to the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, then curled his lip and said, "They're the ones who killed the most."

"Ugh!"

Xuanyuan sighed again, but had no choice but to give up. He ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield and escort the captured Chi You and the remaining members of the Jiuli tribe back to Chendu to prepare for rewarding their merits and making decisions.
