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

Just as the Demon Court was mobilizing its troops and preparing for a major attack on the ancestral land of the human race, the human race did not sit idly by and wait for its doom.

At this moment, the human race has split into three groups:

One group, led by Ziyi, headed towards Wanshou Mountain.

Led by Youchao, they headed towards Kunlun Mountain.

Suirenshi personally led the third route, heading towards the nearest Wuyi Mountain.

The tribes led by Youchao and Ziyi were the largest, and many of them possessed profound cultivation.

Both places are guarded by powerful beings from the primordial era, who may be able to protect more people, but the journey is long and requires more powerful individuals to escort them along the way.

The group led by Suirenshi had the fewest members, and apart from himself, there were no other powerful beings accompanying him.

This was originally a strategy agreed upon by everyone earlier:

Wuyi Mountain is the closest to the ancestral home of humankind. Although only Taibai, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, is stationed there, its capacity is limited. However, the route is short and the risks are low, and it is sufficient for Suirenshi to protect it alone.

Currently, during this great calamity, the heavenly secrets are in chaos, making it difficult for the Demon Court to quickly deduce the movements of the human race.

The human race had calculated this point, which is why they dared to evacuate separately, believing that there was still plenty of time.

However, they overlooked one thing.

Within the Demon Court, there is no shortage of cunning and scheming individuals.

Besides Bai Ze, Di Jun, Fei Lian, and others are also people with deep thoughts and good judgment of the overall situation.

When the millions of demon soldiers rushed to the ancestral land of the human race, only to find the place deserted and the embers still warm, a sense of being fooled and anger immediately spread among the demon army.

Di Jun stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the empty tribe, a chill suddenly rising in his eyes.

In a short while, he had combined the distribution of various forces in the prehistoric world to deduce the most likely destination of the human race.

"Guiche and Jiuying, I order you two to lead your troops in pursuit of the human race heading towards Wuyi Mountain."

"Yingzhao, Shangyang, you two head towards Wuzhuang Temple to intercept them."

"Fuxi and Kunpeng, the journey through Kunlun Mountain is entrusted to you two."

"The other demon saints are ready to provide support to all sides. Remember, under no circumstances should you clash with Zhen Yuanzi or the saints!"

With the order given, Di Jun said no more and returned to the Demon Court with Donghuang Taiyi in a streak of light, awaiting good news.

The demon saints who were named led their subordinates and chased after the three groups of humans who had retreated.

……

The human race had already begun to migrate in secret, and now, the branch led by Youchao is getting closer and closer to Kunlun Mountain.

However, the demon race had no burdens and only needed to pursue with all their might.

In addition, since the demon race generally had higher cultivation levels than the human race, it did not take them too long to catch up with the migrating caravan.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you seem... not very willing to take action against the human race."

Human figures were already visible ahead, but Fuxi remained rooted to the spot, hesitating to issue the order to attack.

This hesitation drew mockery from the Kunpeng beside him.

Kunpeng stopped waiting for him, raised his hand and pointed directly towards the human race, his voice chilling:

"All demons, heed my command! Annihilate them all, leave no one alive!"

Upon receiving the order from the demon master Kunpeng, the dark, dense demonic clouds surged toward the human race.

When Youchao saw the demonic aura covering the sky from afar, he knew something was wrong. He immediately led the most powerful cultivators in his clan to form an array to meet the enemy, trying to buy time for the elderly, weak, women and children in the rear to evacuate.

However, the human race is still relatively new, and even with the resources given to them by Taibai in the past, their foundation is still insufficient to compete with the demon race.

The hastily erected defensive formation shattered before it could even withstand the first wave of the demon army's attack.

The demon horde rushed towards the most densely populated area, and the slaughter began in an instant.

Screams, wails, and the sounds of flesh being torn apart mingled together.

Mortals, powerless to resist, fell in droves, and human cultivators also perished one after another in the siege.

Blood soaked the earth, and the stench filled the air, creating a scene resembling purgatory.

At that moment, two huge black shadows simultaneously emerged from the direction of Kunlun Mountain and the center of the human race.

A deafening roar shook the heavens as two colossal dragons appeared out of nowhere, their tails sweeping out with immense force, sending hundreds of demons flying with their momentum.

These two black dragons are Xiao Hei and Hei Jiang, the latter being a black dragon created by Xiao Hei through supernatural powers.

However, their cultivation levels were ultimately limited; Hei Jiang was only a Xuanxian, while Xiao Hei was only a Jinxian.

The successful strike just now was entirely due to its unexpectedness.

Kunpeng, watching from afar, glanced at the battle, a playful smile curving his lips:

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, look at that black dragon; it still retains a trace of the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline. Why not capture it and use it as a mount?"

Fuxi glanced at him, a surge of emotion welling up inside him, and he felt utterly disgusted.

Fuxi joined the Demon Court not only because of Di Jun's invitation, but also to seek his own path.

He has always held in contempt the treacherous and cunning individuals like Guiche and Kunpeng.

Just now, Kunpeng's suggestion to capture the Black Dragon as a mount was clearly a deliberate test, an attempt to drag him into the mess.

"No need. If you are interested, you can capture him yourself. Do not involve me."

"Hahaha, how could such a creature with such blemished blood be worthy of being my mount?"

Kunpeng chuckled sinisterly, and two jet-black feathers appeared in his palm. With a casual flick, the feathers transformed into two beams of dark light, silently shooting towards the two black dragons that were still spewing Samadhi True Fire.

Xiao Hei and Hei Jiang were completely unaware of the impending danger.

The next instant, feathers pierced through Hei Jiang's head and Xiao Hei's chest and abdomen.

Hei Jiang's dragon body instantly disintegrated, and his soul was destroyed. Xiao Hei let out a miserable howl, forced to withdraw from the form of Dharma Heaven and Earth, and fell to the ground, barely breathing.

Humanity has existed for over 30,000 years since its inception, growing from an initial population of over 10,000 to nearly 10 billion.

Of the 4.5 billion people led by Youchao, more than half have been killed in the pursuit of the demon race, leaving only 1.9 billion survivors.

Fighting and retreating, this remaining human race finally retreated to within ten thousand miles of the Kunlun Mountains.

Seeing that the sage had not yet appeared, Kunpeng grew bolder and, with a sinister laugh, prepared to personally go down and slaughter him.

However, the moment he entered the vast territory of the Kunlun Mountains...

In the void, a giant hand appeared out of thin air and firmly imprinted itself on Kunpeng's chest.

"puff!"

The Kunpeng coughed up blood and flew backward, its demonic light dissipating, before crashing heavily into the distant mountains.

At the same time, a bright light shone in the sky above the battleground between humans and demons.

The next moment, thousands of sword lights rained down, each piercing the brow of a demon cultivator.

In less than three breaths, all the transgressing demons were subdued and killed.

The remaining demons stopped in shock, not daring to move forward even an inch.

"Within the ten thousand miles of Kunlun Mountain, killing is strictly prohibited. Those who violate this rule will be annihilated, body and soul."

The vast and profound sounds of Taoism emanated from the mountains, like a celestial law descending upon the world.

Fuxi immediately bowed solemnly towards Kunlun Mountain: "Fuxi receives the decree of the sage."

His gaze swept over the silent demon army, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Clean up the battlefield and retreat to the Demon Court."

He didn't give Kunpeng another glance, turned around and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight towards the Demon Court.

The humans stared at the corpses of their fallen brethren, their eyes bloodshot and their fists clenched until they turned white.

But they knew in their hearts that if Fuxi and Kunpeng had not initially not gone all out, and if it had not been for the protection of that vast territory, the entire human race would be lying on the ground right now.

Even those powerful human cultivators who have cultivated diligently for years have lost more than 90% of their lives. How can they possibly seek revenge?
