Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.

Luo Hou's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

He was no longer the arrogant and domineering Demon Lord Luo Hou he once was. After all, he had already been defeated once, and now there were several saints in the prehistoric world. Luo Hou was certain that he would be killed the moment he stepped out, completely powerless to fight back.

So what can he say?

Luo Hou remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a cold snort: "Fine, let that ant hop around for a few days."

He closed his eyes, and the demonic energy around him slowly subsided: "Chi You thinks that by gathering a rabble, he can contend with me? Naïve! Once I recover my cultivation, I'll use him as a sacrifice!"

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, both secretly relieved. As long as Rahu didn't act impulsively, there was still room to salvage the situation.

"Senior," Jieyin said, "Although Chi You is arrogant, he has already gained considerable power. If he is not restrained, I'm afraid..."

"Rest assured." Luo Hou opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them. "I naturally have the means. The Demon Realm is still under my control. Help me regain my strength, and I will show him—who is the true Demon Ancestor!"

Jieyin nodded slightly: "Then we will await your good news, senior."

……

Heavenly Court - Lingxiao Palace

Xuanbao sat upright on the imperial throne, toying with a newly forged innate spiritual treasure in his hand—a long sword with five-colored light flowing throughout its body. The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it contained a sharpness capable of slicing through stars.

"The eight thousand nine hundred and seventy-second item." Xuanbao smiled with satisfaction and casually put the long sword into his sleeve.

A hundred years is but a fleeting moment for powerful beings in the primordial world. But for the Five Elements Incarnations, who possess time-manipulation techniques, a hundred years is equivalent to a million years in the outside world!

The Five Elements Avatar worked tirelessly day and night to refine the treasures, ensuring an abundance of innate spiritual materials. Due to the widespread availability of spirit crystals, the Heavenly Court was now the only dominant power in the prehistoric world, with highly concentrated resources and ample precious energy. Over the past century, the Five Elements Avatar had painstakingly crafted 8,972 innate spiritual treasures, neatly stacking them in Xuanbao's private treasury, resembling a treasure mountain radiating endless brilliance.

These spiritual treasures vary in grade. There are only a hundred or so high-grade innate spiritual treasures, over a thousand mid-grade innate spiritual treasures, and over seven thousand low-grade innate spiritual treasures. Although most are low-grade, their sheer number is overwhelming!

More than 8,000 innate spiritual treasures—what does that even mean?

In the entire primordial world, excluding those reclusive old monsters, the combined number of innate spiritual treasures possessed by all the great powers probably doesn't even reach this number! Yet Xuanbao alone possesses a reserve of spiritual treasures comparable to the entire primordial world!

"With this batch of spiritual treasures, we will have more confidence in our next plan."

After all, with so many innate spiritual treasures, even a saint would have difficulty withstanding their self-destruction, and the primordial world would be shattered. Xuanbao stood up, walked to the window, and looked towards the southwest sky shrouded in demonic energy.

The rest of the time, we should focus on refining innate spiritual treasures of the highest grade or above. After all, Xuanbao is also very curious about what it would be like for an innate supreme treasure to self-destruct.

……

Chi You's descent into demonic possession, his self-proclaimed title of Demon Ancestor, and his gathering of over twenty million demons—all of this was within Xuan Bao's expectations. In fact, it could be said that Xuan Bao orchestrated it all.

What he wanted was a powerful enough demonic force, a target that could attract the attention of the entire prehistoric world.

As for why Chi You was made the Demon Ancestor, the reason is quite simple.

"The demon realm opened up by Rahu should be a great world."

It is now known that in the near future, the Primordial World will face a counterattack from those Chaos Gods. Xuanbao naturally wants to unite all the forces that can be united. In a Great Thousand World, it should be enough to cultivate a few high-end combatants.

Xuanbao murmured to himself, his fingers lightly tapping on the window frame. He closed his eyes, and his divine sense spread out like a tide, passing through the thirty-three heavens, crossing the endless void, and finally arriving in the chaos. To be honest, the chaos was really too vast, so vast that even a saint would feel extremely small in the chaos.

Xuanbao wouldn't be foolish enough to blindly search for the Demon Realm. Not only has he mastered the laws of the Demon Path, but he also specifically obtained a wisp of demonic energy from Chiyou. Since Chiyou was able to become the Demon Ancestor of the Demon Realm in the future, it proves that Chiyou somehow found the Demon Realm, which is most likely due to his innate mastery of the laws of the Demon Path.

As expected, once inside the chaos, Chi You's wisp of demonic energy seemed to have found its way home, constantly pointing in one direction.

Xuanbao did not slack off either, unleashing his full power as a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and marched in the indicated direction.

Xuanbao moved like lightning, traversing the boundless chaos. Chi You's wisp of demonic energy, like a slender thread, pulled him swiftly towards an unknown direction. In the chaos, there were no ups or downs, no direction, no passage of time, only an eternal void intertwined with the raging chaotic currents.

It is unknown how much time has passed—perhaps several days, perhaps several months; for a Primordial Golden Immortal, time has long lost its meaning.

Suddenly, something strange happened in the chaos ahead.

The originally hazy, chaotic airflow began to be mixed with wisps of pitch-black demonic energy. This demonic energy slithered through the chaos like snakes, growing denser the further one went. Gradually, fragments of the world began to appear within the chaos—broken mountain peaks floated, fractured land lay scattered, and even half a river flowed in the air, its water frozen into crystalline ice bands.

"Looks like we're almost there."

A glint flashed in Xuanbao's eyes, and his speed increased once more. A faint golden light emanated from his body, isolating him from the raging chaotic energy. After traveling for about half an hour, a huge shadow finally appeared ahead—

That was a world!

Or rather, it is a broken world.

From afar, that world resembled an apple that had been half-eaten, its surface riddled with cracks and gaps. Countless dark fissures crisscrossed the world's barriers, like a dense spiderweb. Dense demonic energy seeped from these fissures, staining the surrounding chaos black.

"Is this the Demon Realm?"

The barrier was covered with countless cracks, crisscrossing like a spider web. Through the cracks, Xuanbao could sense an extremely dense demonic energy surging within, its purity and vastness far surpassing that of Chi You, who had only recently entered the demonic path.

"There was definitely a problem."

Xuanbao opened his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips. He had always found it strange—it made sense that the Demon Realm, which Luo Hou had created after his defeat in the battle against Hongjun Daozu, was a broken world.

This place is desolate and barren, with only endless yellow sand and howling winds. A stench of decay permeates the air, as if time itself has stood still.

Xuanbao landed on a sand dune, his gaze fixed on an area where the space was fluctuating abnormally. There, the void rippled slightly like the surface of water, and a dark crack was faintly visible. Dense demonic energy coiled around the edge of the crack, like venomous snakes writhing.

"This is it."

Xuanbao raised his hand, a warm golden light condensing at his fingertips, and gently touched the crack. The crack seemed to be stimulated, suddenly expanding and transforming into a pitch-black portal a hundred feet tall!

Beyond the portal lay a world as black as ink.

Xuanbao did not hesitate and stepped inside.

The moment Xuanbao passed through the portal, he felt a chilling and violent aura rush towards him, as if it would freeze his soul. His primordial Dao power automatically circulated within him, forming a faint golden light on his body, keeping the demonic energy at bay.

"interesting."

Xuanbao looked around and found himself standing on a desolate land. The sky was a deep, dark red, like congealed blood. The earth was cracked, with bottomless fissures everywhere, from which black demonic energy surged. In the distance, strangely shaped mountains could be seen, like ferocious beasts crawling on the earth.

A thick, pungent stench of blood filled the air, mingled with the smells of sulfur and scorched earth. Occasionally, a few dark shadows would streak across the sky, emitting sharp screechs—creatures unique to the demon realm.

Xuanbao released his divine sense, which spread in all directions. After a moment, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Something's not right about this demon realm."

With his cultivation as a Xuanbao Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, his divine sense was enough to cover every corner of a vast world. However, in this Demon Realm, his divine sense seemed to be suppressed in some way, and could only extend to cover about 1/5 of the Demon Realm before being blocked by an invisible barrier.

Moreover, Xuanbao could sense that there seemed to be something else in this Demon Realm.

Xuanbao's divine sense spread throughout the Demon Realm like a tidal wave, scanning this shattered world inch by inch. The more he looked, the more alarmed he became—although this Demon Realm could barely be considered a Great Thousand World, its world walls were riddled with holes, its laws of heaven and earth were incomplete, its spiritual veins were depleted, and its demonic energy was thin. It was like a piece of porcelain that had been broken and barely pieced back together, and it could collapse completely at any moment.

Xuanbao moved swiftly, transforming into a golden light and flying towards the core area of ​​the Demon Realm. Along the way, all he saw was a desolate and ruined landscape—a dried-up Demon Sea, collapsed Demon Mountains, withered Demon Trees, and bones scattered everywhere. Occasionally, he could see a few dilapidated palaces, but they were all deserted, leaving only mottled walls and broken rubble.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xuanbao finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Demon Realm.

Here stood a colossal altar, constructed entirely of jet-black magic stone, its surface inscribed with countless runes. Floating in the center of the altar was something that even Xuanbao found unsettling—

That was a huge millstone!

The millstone was dark red, as if cast from congealed blood. It consisted of two halves; the upper half was engraved with countless ferocious demonic figures, while the lower half was etched with countless twisted soul patterns. The two halves turned slowly, each turn producing a creaking sound, as if grinding something. Around the millstone, space constantly twisted, shattered, and reformed, emanating a suffocating aura of destruction.

"The Great Millstone of Destruction?!"

Xuanbao's pupils shrank sharply, and even with his Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal state of mind, he couldn't help but gasp.

The World-Destroying Millstone, a Chaos Treasure! It is the companion treasure of those Chaos Demons and Gods.

Moreover, this world-destroying millstone is formed from the killing laws of chaos, possessing unparalleled destructive power. Even a saint, if caught in the millstone, would not escape being ground to dust!

Xuanbao never expected that such a deadly weapon was hidden deep within the Demon Realm!

"No wonder Rahu dared to be so arrogant; it turns out he had such a trump card at his disposal." Xuanbao narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the annihilating millstone. He could sense that although this millstone possessed terrifying power, it seemed to be in some kind of sealed state and not fully activated. Otherwise, with its power, the entire Demon Realm would probably have been ground to dust long ago.

Xuanbao flew around the altar, carefully studying the runes. He discovered that these runes were not carved by Rahu, but were naturally formed—they were the embodiment of the laws of the Demon Realm, using the power of the entire Demon Realm to seal this world-destroying millstone here.

"I see." Xuanbao suddenly realized, "When Rahu opened up the Demon Realm, it wasn't just to survive, but also to use the power of the Demon Realm to suppress this Great Millstone of Annihilation!"

He landed before the altar, reached out, and gently touched the cold surface of the millstone. In an instant, a violent, destructive will surged into his consciousness through his fingers, as if to tear him apart! Xuanbao groaned and quickly withdrew his hand, rapidly circulating his primordial Dao power to dispel the will.

"What a fierce little darling!" A hint of excitement flashed in Xuanbao's eyes. "But... I like it!"

"However, subduing this thing will take some effort." Xuanbao stroked his chin, wondering if his magical energy would be of any use...

Without hesitation, Xuanbao sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to carefully study the structure and operating rules of the runes, spreading his divine sense like a spider web.

Time passed by, second by second.

Xuanbao stood up, raised his hand and condensed a dazzling stream of precious energy, which he then sent down towards the World-Destroying Millstone!

"boom--!!!"

The world-destroying millstone, which was originally resisting, seemed to have seen something extraordinary and immediately transformed into a dog, kneeling and licking the Xuanbao.

"It's that simple!" Xuanbao, the treasure you thought you had could actually fascinate a chaotic spiritual treasure.

"Give it to me—take it!"

Xuanbao roared, and his Primordial Dao Power surged into the Annihilation Millstone like a tidal wave! The millstone trembled violently, emitting a series of unwilling hums, but in the end it could not withstand Xuanbao's vast Primordial Dao Power. It slowly shrank, eventually becoming the size of a palm, and fell into Xuanbao's palm.

Xuanbao looked at the small, exquisite millstone in his palm, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

"The Great Millstone of Annihilation...I've got it."

"This can be considered my first Chaos Spiritual Treasure."

Xuanbao put the millstone into his sleeve, turned around and glanced at the demon realm that was about to collapse, and shook his head: "It's a pity about this world, but... with this annihilating millstone, it's all worth it."

Behind him, the dilapidated demon realm finally lost its last bit of support and began to slowly collapse.
