Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 196 Conflict Among Myriad Races

Silvery-white light pierced through time and space like a spider web, and Taiwei's figure flew out from the chaotic time and space, descending upon a series of quiet and secluded hilly areas with winding mountain ranges.

In the distance, amidst several winding hills and steep mountains, two great clans were engaged in a life-or-death battle. The raging spiritual energy of heaven and earth required even Taiwei to activate his protective spiritual light to remain unaffected.

Among the two major clans, one was the Lizard Clan, a high-ranking clan in the prehistoric world. Although this clan was not as strong as those top-tier clans, it was still quite famous in the prehistoric world.

According to legend, the Lizard Clan was originally a lineage of dragons driven out of the South China Sea. Later, for some unknown reason, the purity of the dragon bloodline continued to decrease. The dragon clan tried countless methods, and finally, with the help of a divine medicine called Crimson Scale Grass, they managed to barely stabilize their clan's true dragon bloodline.

However, it was too late. Their lineage of true dragon bloodline had dwindled to one-tenth of its original size, and the lineage had transformed from the original Qilong clan into the current Lizard clan.

Although the purity of the True Dragon bloodline has decreased, the Lizard Clan has gained the ability to control the Heavenly Fire from the Creation Divine Medicine Red Scale Grass. Therefore, the strength of the Lizard Clan is only less than one-third weaker than when they were originally dragons, and they are still considered a powerful clan among the myriad races of the prehistoric world.

However, the Lizard Clan that now appears before Taiwei is about to be annihilated. The ancestral home of the Lizard Clan, Fire Dragon Mountain, has been covered by layers of aerial arrays. As the arrays operate, countless winds, thunders, waters, and fires are blasted out from these arrays, constantly attacking the mountain-guarding arrays on Fire Dragon Mountain.

Around Fire Dragon Mountain, the army of another great clan was completely surrounding it. The men were handsome and the women were charming. Even with the most discerning eye, no flaw could be found in them. This great clan was the Demon Fox Clan, second only to the five royal clans in the entire prehistoric world, and could be considered a top-tier clan.

The fox demon clan also had an extremely glorious past at the beginning of creation. The earliest origin of the fox demon clan was a top-level primordial true saint, Bai Mi.

This person's true form is a nine-tailed celestial fox. Bai Mi used her own celestial fox bloodline to continuously evolve the race, eventually giving birth to the celestial fox clan.

At the beginning of time, before the five great royal clans were born, the Heavenly Fox clan was no weaker than the True Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger clans.

In fact, at the beginning of the creation of the world, the five royal clans had many competitors. The Dragon Clan had the Heavenly Serpent Clan and the Xuan Kun Clan fighting against them. The White Tiger Royal Clan was fighting against the Heavenly Wolf Clan and the Tyrant Lion Clan. The Xuan Turtle Royal Clan was vying with the Sea Octopus Clan and the Sword Crab Clan for control of the Water Element Power and the Yin-Yang Dao.

As for the Qilin royal family, at the beginning of creation, the Qilin royal family was almost wiped out by the combined forces of the Tianhu clan and the Baipi clan. Later, if Yuanhuang had not used the full strength of the clan to refine the Taixu Supreme Treasure, the Tianxu Cauldron, and successfully transformed himself into a top-level Yuanshi True Saint, the Qilin royal family might not exist today.

The Heavenly Fox Clan and the White Bear Clan are both small in number, but neither the Heavenly Fox Clan's ultimate bloodline that controls the power of the nine Great Daos, nor the White Bear Clan's perfect foundation of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, is weaker than the Qilin Royal Clan's supernatural ability to control the power of mountain dragon veins.

However, the number of members was ultimately too small. After Yuan Huang forged the Taixu Supreme Treasure, the Heavenly Vortex Cauldron, Bai Mi, the patriarch of the Heavenly Fox Clan, and Xuan Yi, the patriarch of the White Bear Clan, were successively killed by Yuan Huang by burning the fortune of the Qilin Royal Clan.

The White Bear Clan was thus disintegrated, with only scattered bloodlines remaining throughout the primordial world, while the Heavenly Fox Clan was completely wiped out by the Qilin Royal Family.

However, someone later intervened and saved a trace of the Heavenly Fox Clan's bloodline. Using the Heavenly Fox Clan's bloodline, they performed a great creation technique, thus creating the present-day Demon Fox Clan.

The bloodline of the Demon Fox Clan can be traced back to the Celestial Fox Clan. However, the Demon Fox Clan's own bloodline is intertwined with the Great Dao of Heavenly Demons, and its potential and bloodline strength are far inferior to those of the Celestial Fox Clan of the past. Furthermore, it has not inherited the Celestial Fox Clan's ultimate bloodline that once enabled it to wield nine kinds of the great powers of heaven and earth.

However, the demon race possesses ultimate control over the Dao of Fire and the Dao of Soul, so even if they cannot compare with the Heavenly Fox race, the demon fox race is still a top-tier race in the prehistoric world.

Out of respect for the great being who created the fox demon clan in the past, the Qilin royal family spared the fox demon clan who inherited a trace of the Heavenly Fox clan's bloodline.

In fact, it was Nuwa who created the fox demon clan, or rather, Nuwa and Taiwei jointly created the fox demon clan. Bai Mi, the lord of the Heavenly Fox Clan, was a good friend of Nuwa in the past, and Taiwei also had a good relationship with him.

When Bai Mi created the Celestial Fox Clan, she was preparing to compete for the destiny of heaven and earth. When she went further, Taiwei and Nuwa advised her against it, but unfortunately, Bai Mi did not realize the fierce competition among the myriad races of the primordial world for the destiny of heaven and earth.

While Bai Mi and Yuan Huang were locked in a fierce battle, Tai Wei was entangled with Luo Hou. The two engaged in one deadly battle after another, and had no time to notice the war between the Tianhu Clan and the Qilin Royal Clan.

As for Nuwa, she wasn't a top-tier Primordial True Saint at the time. Nuwa did make a move, but she was no match for Yuanhuang. At the critical moment, Bai Mi burned his own bloodline to send Nuwa away, calmly accepting his own death.

Taiwei learned of this afterward but did not cause trouble for the Qilin royal family. After all, the war between the myriad races had been going on for tens of millions of years. Bai Mi had voluntarily jumped into this quagmire, so the Qilin royal family could not be blamed. Did they expect the Qilin royal family to just sit and wait to die?

However, after Bai Mi's demise, Nuwa and Taiwei still left behind a trace of Bai Mi's essence, which, combined with the bloodline inheritance of the Heavenly Fox Clan, created the present-day Demon Fox Clan.

Of course, Taiwei was only an assistant and warned the Qilin royal family once. The one who truly created the fox demon clan was Nuwa. It can be said that Nuwa was the ancestor of the fox demon clan.

However, Nuwa created the fox demon clan merely to repay Bai Mi's past friendship, and had no intention of taking control of the fox demon clan.

Taiwei also looked down on the fox demon clan, so after the fox demon clan was born, Taiwei and Nuwa randomly chose a place and settled the fox demon clan there, which is the Qingqiu Mountain Range where Taiwei is now. However, in the name of the fox demon clan, this place is the ancestral home of the fox demon clan, the Kingdom of Qingqiu.

Although Nuwa's understanding of the Great Dao of Creation was far less than it is now, the demon race was still extremely powerful among the myriad races of the prehistoric world. Later, the five royal families were born, and the battles between the myriad races temporarily came to an end.

Taking advantage of this peaceful period, the demon race developed rapidly and eventually became one of the top races in the primordial world, second only to the five royal races.
