The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

"Crouch down!"

Taibai shouted in the direction of Xiaohei, then enveloped the God-Slaying Spear with the Five Elements Laws. After completely concealing the aura of the spear, he hurled it with great force.

The spear pierced the air, pointing directly at Xiao Hei and Aoki's group behind him.

Upon hearing Taibai's voice, Xiaohei and the others immediately squatted down.

The moment he crouched down, Xiao Hei's magic surged forth, forming a protective shield around Qingmu.

Suddenly, chaos truly appeared.

The three witch cultivators were devoured before they could even scream.

But it was not satisfied, and immediately hurled its giant mouth toward Taibai.

The protective shield that Xiao Hei had set up shattered like paper, and the giant, dark mask moved towards Aoki.

At that very moment, the God-Slaying Spear had already silently pierced towards Chaos.

Chaos, however, was completely fearless. It abandoned the green wood, twisted its giant maw, and actively met Taibai's attack.

The outermost layer of the Five Elements principles is like a layer of sugar coating, easily swallowed up by it.

But beneath the sugar coating lies the monstrous nature of the god-slaying spear.

Chaos realized something was wrong and tried to shrink back to escape, but it was too late.

With a flash of dark light, the spear pierced through its gaping maw, penetrating it from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, the gun barrel suddenly turned dark red and began to continuously absorb the evil energy within the Chaos's body.

The chaotic body emitted a hissing sound, and under the burning and devouring of the red light, it shrank rapidly and uncontrollably.

Until the chaotic body shrank by more than half, the last trace of evil energy within it was completely drained.

Taibai arrived in a flash, the Pure World White Lotus blooming in his palm, its clear light pouring out, completely purifying the ferocious beast Chaos, which was now only filled with resentment.

Everything had settled down. Taibai raised his hand to recall the spear, but his movement suddenly stopped after he touched the God-Slaying Spear.

He keenly sensed that the God-Slaying Spear in his hand seemed to have changed from what it had been moments before.

Taibai infused his divine sense into the gun and discovered that the malevolent energy within it had only increased slightly, but deep within the gun, faint imprints of the laws of devouring and spatial power were emerging.

"Yes, it must be because it devoured the essence of that ferocious beast."

My current cultivation level is still shallow, but given time, this spear will surely become a great asset to me.

Thinking of this, he casually picked up the God-Slaying Spear and threw it into the air.

As the magic power was activated, the spear shimmered with an eerie light, and the remaining malevolent energy in the entire Taihang Mountains seemed to be drawn away by an invisible force.

It transformed into streams of gray-black air, surging in from all directions and completely disappearing into the tip of the spear.

After the last trace of malevolent energy was swallowed up, Taibai's expression turned solemn, and he once again summoned the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus.

Taibai focused all his energy, and the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus bloomed.

When he poured all his magical power into it without reservation, the white lotus shone brightly.

After the Pure White Lotus expanded to several tens of feet, it gracefully ascended to a height of a hundred feet and began to slowly rotate.

A gentle, purifying light, like a soft drizzle, fell and nourished the wounded Taihang Mountains.

Wherever the light touched, the heavy resentment accumulated in the mountains was silently washed away.

Any residual evil or impurity, upon encountering white light, will transform into wisps of blue smoke and vanish into nothingness.

The entire purification process lasted for two hours, and Taibai clearly felt that the power in his body was being continuously drained away.

The magical power restored by the Five Elements Cycle is far from keeping up with the consumption of the Pure World White Lotus.

After the Taihang Mountains were thoroughly purified, Taibai's magical power was also exhausted.

At that very moment, four acres of golden, shimmering clouds of merit suddenly appeared high above the Taihang Mountains.

The clouds surged, and a magnificent golden pillar of merit crashed down, all of which was transferred by Taibai into the Gengjin longsword.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Hei and Qingmu immediately separated to the left and right, their expressions vigilant, to protect Taibai at the execution ground.

After the merit descent ended, Taibai did not move; he just lay there.

With just a quarter of an hour of the Five Elements' cycle, his body was filled with spiritual light again, and he was restored to his original state.

Taibai slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the ravaged mountains and fields, and sighed softly:

"Alas, this place used to be a paradise on earth, but I never imagined it would turn out like this."

Just as he was marveling at this, he suddenly noticed something amiss: the stone slab where Chaos had previously appeared was now quietly sinking.

Taibai immediately leaped into the air and landed in that direction.

Aoki and Koko exchanged a glance and immediately followed.

When they arrived there, they found that the depression was not deep, and at the bottom there was only a single fragment, lying quietly among the dust and mud.

Taibai summoned the Pure World White Lotus, took out the two fragments he had obtained earlier, and compared them with the one on the ground.

The texture, the break, and even the faint sense of aura were all perfectly matched.

"They are indeed from the same artifact, but we don't know why."

It has scattered here; it seems the primordial power of chaos originated from this fragment.

Xiao Hei leaned closer to examine it, a sudden realization flashing in his eyes:

"Sir, is it possible that these fragments can be pieced together completely?"

"Judging from their harmonious interaction, it must be an extraordinary magical treasure!"

Li Bai nodded, choosing not to conceal the truth:

"Indeed. If all the fragments can be collected and the complete form restored, this treasure will certainly be of extremely high quality."

He held the three fragments in his palm, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"The force required to destroy a magical treasure to this extent must be unimaginable."

It might be a relic from the creation of the world, but unfortunately, the remaining fragments are now completely unidentifiable.

Now the five elements within his body are in balance, and the power of Geng metal flows smoothly, no longer as sharp and uncontrollable as before.

But he knew that if he could find the other two Five Elements Flags, the Five Elements Law would surely make another breakthrough.

Furthermore, given the trace of the Devouring Law contained within this fragmented treasure, he was confident that one day he could completely master this broken inheritance.

Within the same realm, he was confident that no one could break his technique and nothing could shake his body.

If one then draws upon the power of merit to temper one's own companion spiritual treasure, the Gengjin Longsword,

This will elevate it to an innate merit and spiritual treasure, at which point it will be able to combine offense and defense, be free from karmic ties, and be able to kill at will.

In this primordial world, even if the Three Pure Ones did not offer assistance, relying on their own cultivation, numerous treasures, and the characteristic of being unafraid of karma,

He was also capable of running rampant, unafraid of most powerful beings and entangled with cause and effect.

Taibai slowly closed his fingers, gripping the fragment tightly, feeling a surge of confidence.

"Now that this matter is settled, we should not linger here. Come with me to the banks of the Yellow River."

After saying that, Taibai turned his gaze to Xiao Hei beside him.

Without a word, Xiao Hei, who understood perfectly, immediately comprehended.

A deep dragon roar emanated from its throat, and its body surged with dark light, revealing its true form as a black dragon.

Taibai lightly touched the ground with his toes and gracefully leaped onto the dragon's neck, standing steadily behind the black dragon's two horns.

Little Black raised its head and roared, then with a flick of its tail, it carried its master and transformed into a streak of black light, soaring into the sky.

However, just as the black dragon, carrying Taibai, broke through the valley and rose into the sky...

Taibai's divine sense suddenly detected the auras of two cultivators.

One of them was a Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation, while the other cultivator's aura had clearly reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.
