Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 235 Hand over the Primordial Purple Qi, and I will spare your life!

With Taiyi's call, everyone realized that Nuwa was not in the prehistoric world, and they all fell into deep thought, wanting to know where Nuwa was.

"Eldest brother, second brother, where do you think Junior Sister Nuwa is now?"

In a human tribe, the Three Pure Ones were dressed like ordinary humans, in coarse linen clothes, without any air of otherworldly grace. If outsiders saw them, they would find it hard to believe that these three were actually the Three Pure Ones.

The Supreme Being looked eastward and chuckled softly, "Although I don't know where Nuwa is now, I do know who she's with!"

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Have you noticed that Donghua hasn't appeared in the prehistoric world for a long time? And the Purple Mansion, which previously seemed poised to annex the Witch Clan, has now completely stopped and started developing itself."

The Supreme Being stroked his beard and said meaningfully, "These points, taken individually, are nothing special, but when put together, you will find that Donghua is no longer in the Primordial World!"

"Moreover, when I broke through to Quasi-Saint the other day, I used my divine sense to survey the entire prehistoric world, but I couldn't find a trace of Donghua's aura. At first, I thought it was because my strength was inferior to his and I hadn't noticed him, but now it seems that Donghua is indeed not in the prehistoric world!"

Yuanshi asked in shock, "Elder brother, if that's really the case, then Nuwa and Donghua must have some unspeakable secret!"

"Sigh, it's true what they say, if you're one step ahead, you're always ahead. We've fallen several steps behind, and now we don't even know what others are doing. It's truly frustrating!"

Tongtian said nonchalantly, "If you ask me, it's just that Second Brother is overthinking things. What they're doing is irrelevant. As long as the three of us brothers work together, what can't we solve?"

"Now that my elder brother has broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, he is only one step away from attaining the Primordial Chaos realm. Isn't Donghua also at this level? Besides, I am confident that I will break through to the Quasi-Saint realm soon, so what is there to worry about!"

Just as Yuanshi was about to refute Tongtian's words, he heard Taishang say, "Third brother, you must not be careless, nor should you underestimate others. You have not broken through to this realm, so you do not know its wonders."

"Although I am currently at the same level as Donghua, he is far more advanced than me, and I still have a long way to go. Only when you reach this level will you understand what it means to be utterly insignificant below the Hunyuan realm!"

"Brother, is there really such a big difference between these realms?" Yuan Shi was still a little skeptical, after all, he was about to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and he was very confident in his strength.

Although Taishang was unwilling to believe it, it was the truth, and he could only say helplessly, "Second brother, third brother, below the Primordial Chaos realm, all are but ants. But the Primordial Chaos realm is only the beginning. Master is at the Primordial Chaos realm, and isn't Rahu also at the Primordial Chaos realm? Don't be complacent. You still need to cultivate diligently and accumulate more insights into the Great Dao!"

Tongtian shook his head; he didn't believe in any of that. He only believed in his own sword.

"Eldest brother, second brother, let's not talk about these things. We have no direct interests with Nuwa and Donghua, so we won't become enemies. At most, we can only be considered competitors. Besides, we are fellow disciples, so there's no need to deliberately target them."

Yuanshi agreed, saying, "Yes, Third Brother is right. Our paths are different, and we won't become enemies!"

Hearing his two younger brothers say this, Taishang didn't bring up the matter again, but suddenly asked, "Second brother, third brother, we've lived in the human tribe for so long now, what are your thoughts? Or rather, how do you view the human race?"

After a moment of contemplation, Yuanshi said, "The human race is weak, but its potential is boundless. Some individuals among them possess the aptitude to become Quasi-Saints or even attain the Primordial Chaos realm, which is extremely rare. Moreover, the human race has a strong ability to reproduce and thrive, and there is hope for the glory of the Wu and Yao races!"

"The only downside is that Nuwa and Donghua have too much influence among the human race; almost everyone knows their names."

Tongtian nodded and said, "Second brother is right. These are characteristics of the human race. Moreover, they are tenacious and have a strong learning ability. Just as you said, if we let them develop freely, there is indeed hope for the glory of the Lich King!"

"Yes, you're right. And the human race has another characteristic: their ambition isn't as great as the liches', and they're not as naturally powerful as the liches," Tai Shang said with a mysterious smile and amusement.

"Brother, is there something you need?"

The Supreme Being said solemnly, "Recently, I have observed the fortunes of the human race and discovered that a great upheaval is about to occur. Upon careful calculation, I have determined that a great calamity will befall the human race—a calamity that could lead to its annihilation!"

"A great calamity?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian began to calculate. With the help of spiritual treasures, the Daoist aura around them flowed, and endless time and space intertwined with destiny. After a while, the two stopped.

"How could the human race suffer such a great calamity? Have the Lich and Demon races gone mad?" Tongtian asked incredulously.

Yuan Shi chuckled and said disdainfully, "They're not crazy; they're more clear-headed than anyone else. They must have seen through the hidden dangers facing humanity."

"Brother, what should we do? Should we lend a hand to humanity?"

Taishang slowly said, "No, we cannot intervene. On the contrary, we should add fuel to the fire. When humanity is at its most desperate, we should lend a helping hand. Only in this way can we win people's hearts and further reduce Nuwa and Donghua's influence on humanity."

Yuanshi pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, do you mean we should also join the human race and help them replace the witch and demon races to become the dominant force in the world?"

The Supreme Lord nodded and said, "Exactly!"

"The Lich's defeat is now inevitable. The primordial world needs such a powerful race, and we need such a powerful race!"

"After traveling through the ancient world for so long, I finally discovered that only the human race is the most suitable. They have not been born for long and have great potential. As long as we teach and guide them well, they can definitely seize the destiny of heaven and earth."

Tongtian said frankly, "Elder brother is right, but if we do that, we'll have to fight Nuwa, and perhaps Donghua as well!"

Taishang smiled without saying a word and looked at Yuanshi!

Yuanshi wasn't in a hurry. He stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's just have a fight. Are we afraid of them? We were bound to fight sooner or later anyway!"

"Okay, it's settled then!"

……

Three years is like the blink of an eye for the Primordial World; it feels like nothing at all.

However, this day was an extraordinary one for the human race, and it was destined to be an unforgettable one!

On this day, the demon army descended from the Heavenly Court and the starry sky, with the Ten Demon Saints stationed in various places, and hundreds of demon gods leading the army to attack the prehistoric land, heading directly to the various human tribes.

Taiyi stood atop the Chaos Bell atop the heavens, the bell resounding, and a voice devoid of any emotion emanated from it.

"kill!"

In an instant, hundreds of millions of demons attacked simultaneously, beginning a horrific massacre.

The nine golden crows ascended into the sky, transforming into their true forms and releasing the Golden Crow True Fire, which burned the human race on the earth. They also mobilized the power of the sun star, instantly amplifying the power of the Golden Crow True Fire to the point that it was powerful enough to burn even a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Humanity has great potential, but it is ultimately just potential, like a genius who never grows up. This is fundamentally different from a true powerhouse.

At this time, the strongest among humans was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so how could they possibly be a match for the demon race?

This was a massacre!

A one-sided massacre!

The human race resisted fiercely, quickly organizing a large army to fight, but they appeared powerless against the numerous Great Luo Golden Immortals of the demon race.

The demon race had a clear division of labor: those in front killed, and those behind collected their essence, blood, and flesh. The murderous aura that reached the heavens permeated the primordial world.

The worst off were the western and northern human races. The humans there were the weakest, but their numbers were not small. In just one day, the western and northern human races were almost wiped out.

Only a few million humans escaped to the vicinity of the Western Spirit Mountain, and the demon race was quite wary of them, so they did not attack in the end. These millions of humans survived.

"Senior brother, these demons seem to know their place. If they dare to set foot on Mount Ling today, I'll show them the power of my Western Great Law!"

On Mount Ling, Jieyin and Zhunti sat on lotus thrones, with Western guests and their disciples seated below.

The guide's face remained expressionless as he looked at the disciples below and spoke:

"Medicine Master, Ksitigarbha, go and appease those humans. Let them stay in the Blissful World to cultivate. If there are any with good aptitude, you can recruit them into Mount Sumeru!"

"I will obey my master's orders!"

After they finished speaking, the two left the main hall.

Meanwhile, Zhunti instructed Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, Suryaprabha, and Candraprabha to assist the two.

The Western wanderers inside and outside the main hall also withdrew, leaving only Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Junior brother, do not underestimate the Heavenly Court, and even more so, do not underestimate Taiyi. His strength is beyond our ability to deal with."

Zhunti frowned upon hearing this. He and Jieyin had both broken through to the peak of Quasi-Saint, especially Jieyin, who was about to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Was Taiyi really that strong?

He looked up at Taiyi in the heavens above, and a wisp of divine thought pierced through, heading towards Taiyi.

However, before the divine sense could reach Taiyi, it was shattered by a sharp gaze and turned into nothingness.

"Zhunti, do you want to die?"

Taiyi's ethereal voice echoed from the west, passing through the sacred mountain and entering the main hall.

"I didn't mean to offend you, please don't be angry!" Jieyin made a gesture of respect, and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit emitted light, raising a layer of pale golden light over the entire Mount Ling.

"But the demon army must not enter the Western world again, or don't blame us brothers for being impolite!"

Taiyi snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. This was not the time to oppose the West; there was absolutely no need for it.

Moreover, he had already achieved his goal; the Western human race had been almost wiped out, and he didn't care about the remaining million people.

"withdraw!"

……

Meanwhile, some humans in the north and those fleeing from the west to the east reached the vicinity of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

"Boundless, boundless! If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have cared. But now that they've escaped to my gates, how can I stand by and watch them die!"

Zhen Yuanzi sighed, summoned the Earth Book, which transformed into a membrane of earth that instantly enveloped the entire Longevity Mountain, saving millions of people.

Looking at the membrane formed from the Earth Book before him, the Demon Saint Fei Dan sighed and said, "Since the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi has made his move, let's stop here. There's no need for us to clash with him."

After saying that, he ordered the demons to retreat!

Just then, a bell rang, and a pale yellow bell struck the earth's membrane, causing countless ripples, but it did not break through the Earth Book's defense.

Taiyi descended from the sky and stood atop Longevity Hill.

"Zhen Yuanzi, hand over the human race, and I will spare your life!"

Zhen Yuanzi leaped out and landed on the amniotic sac, laughing as he said, "It's been many years, and Fellow Daoist Taiyi has become even more domineering. You actually dare to attack these weak humans. Has your 'Dao' gone to waste? You have absolutely no compassion for a cultivator."

Hongyun also flew out and landed next to Zhen Yuanzi. She didn't say anything, but she made her stance clear: they would stand together through thick and thin!

"Hmph, sharp-tongued. I'll just ask you one question: will you hand it over or not?" Taiyi snorted coldly, without arguing with Zhen Yuanzi.

"I can't pay!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi's eyes instantly turned cold. He couldn't believe who gave Zhen Yuanzi the courage to defy him, given his late-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation.

Taiyi didn't say much. He channeled the power of the Great Dao, and the Golden Crow True Fire burned everything. He then threw a light punch, as if it had no power at all.

However, this punch was terrifying in the eyes of Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, and they felt a suffocating sensation.

Zhen Yuanzi immediately waved his whisk, and the five elements of the Great Dao intertwined, transforming into a five-pointed radiant array that charged towards Taiyi.

Meanwhile, Hongyun also summoned the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, its red mist billowing, concealing deadly and invisible red sand as it charged towards Taiyi.

The three forces collided in the sky, and the winner was instantly determined.

Taiyi's fist imprint shattered the two men's attacks and pressed down. The two men were shocked, never expecting that they couldn't even withstand a single move from Taiyi.

Zhen Yuanzi activated the Great Dao, and the three Great Daos of Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and Space soared into the sky.

"A universe hidden in the sleeve!"

The light, fluttering sleeves seemed to transform into a black hole of the Great Dao, instantly absorbing all of Taiyi's attack.

The black hole's devouring power still exists, heading towards Taiyi.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Taiyi snorted coldly, and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel behind him flew out. The sun and moon hung high, and the power of the Great Dao permeated the entire Longevity Mountain, dominating the world.

Zhen Yuanzi's hidden universe was instantly shattered, and the power of the Yin and Yang shone down on the two of them. Taiyi showed no mercy in this attack, aiming to kill them both.

Under the immense pressure, the two didn't even have the courage to fight. Zhen Yuanzi was shocked and quickly pulled Hongyun into the earth's membrane.

But it was too late. Although he managed to hide inside, his body was still injured by the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel. The powerful power of the Great Dao, accompanied by the True Fire of the Sun, burned Zhen Yuanzi's divine body and the Great Dao.

Hongyun quickly used his supernatural powers to help Zhen Yuanzi extinguish the true fire, thus temporarily averting the danger.

"Brother Dao, Taiyi is too terrifying; he's beyond our capabilities. He must have broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Perhaps only Donghua can deal with him now!"

Hongyun's face was pale; the fight just now had clearly left him traumatized.

But it makes sense. They were all on the same starting line, but now Taiyi has far surpassed them. With just a simple punch, he was too much for them to handle. How could they not feel good about it?

"Let's not talk about that for now. The demon race has been slaughtering humans for over a day, yet Donghua is still intervening. Only the people of the Purple Mansion are resisting the demon race's attack in the east and south, so I estimate that Donghua is probably not in the prehistoric world either. This matter is truly difficult to handle!"

Zhen Yuanzi's two long eyebrows were flowing, one longer than the other, clearly indicating that a section of them had been burned by the True Fire of the Sun.

"Hongyun, hand over the Primordial Purple Qi, and I will spare your lives!"

Taiyi retrieved the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel, and the Chaos Bell above his head fell into his hand, unleashing boundless power to suppress Longevity Mountain.

At this moment, Taiyi's purpose was completely exposed: his attack on Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun was for the Primordial Purple Qi.
