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

Chapter 238 Bodhi Patriarch, the Fall of the Golden Crow

In the Central Land, the massacre of humans by the Witch Clan ended quickly. In just two days, all the humans in the Central Land perished, becoming victims of the Witch Clan's blades.

Blood flowed across the land, and corpses littered the ground!

What the Lich and Demon races need is the essence and blood of the spirit, not ordinary blood.

The remnant souls of the dead humans, guided by the will of Heaven, arrived at the Sea of ​​Blood and the entrance to the Netherworld of Mount Tai. Their sheer number was astonishing.

There are many races that have been wiped out in the primordial world, the kind that are completely extinct, but none as numerous as the human race. The key is that the human race has not been completely wiped out; many people have survived.

This shows just how fast the human race reproduces; the speed is even faster than that of the demon race.

Houtu stood atop the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai, watching countless remnants of human souls wandering on Mount Buqi. She felt a pang of pity, for many of them were ordinary people.

They weren't ordinary people, but most of them hadn't become immortals. However, in Houtu's eyes, they were indeed no different from ordinary people.

"The extermination of humanity is not a major event, but the atrocities committed are far too great; it truly violates the principles of Heaven and Earth!"

Houtu murmured something, then flew down to Mount Buqi, concealing her form as she sensed the changes in these remnant souls.

……

Just after Chang'e was rescued by Hou Yi, the tribal chief "Du" who remained behind looked at his dead people and felt inexplicable grief. This time, he truly witnessed the cruelty of the prehistoric world and saw what a master was.

Even when they joined forces, they couldn't defeat the Great Luo Demon God, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move from Hou Yi. The allure of that arrow lingered in his heart for a long time.

"I want to become an apprentice and learn the Tao!"

At this moment, in Du's heart, his determination to become stronger was strengthened. He wanted to be as powerful as Hou Yi, as powerful as his teacher and the Holy Mother, so that today's tragedy would not happen again.

"The fate of humanity should be decided by itself!"

He led his clansmen back to Mount Tai, and then set off alone on a journey to find a master.

In fact, the best candidate in his heart was Donghua, but the two were ultimately not destined to be together. If they were, Donghua would have already taken him as his disciple when they were born!

Moreover, when the Heavenly Emperor wanted to become Donghua's disciple, Donghua refused, saying that the two of them had no affinity as master and disciple, and that they should forge their own paths so that they could lead the human race to strength.

"Du" traveled westward, entering every mountain he encountered. He visited famous and majestic mountains, and with his Taiyi realm cultivation, he faced little danger.

However, to be honest, as he searched along the way, he actually found several reclusive masters, all of whom were at the Quasi-Saint level. They were either guests of the Purple Cloud Palace or innate saints who had survived from the ancient times.

Among them, they encountered an extremely special person who was both a survivor from the ancient times and a guest of Zixiao Palace, named: Bodhi Patriarch!

This person was the master of Sun Wukong in later generations!

This person's true form is the same as Zhunti's, both being Bodhi trees. However, he is not as powerful as Zhunti innately, and is not a top-level spiritual root, but a high-grade spiritual root that has been transformed into a divine being.

He achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm during the Longhan period, and later listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, achieving the Quasi-Saint realm. He cultivated the divine path, the immortal path, and the demonic path, and was proficient in all of them.

"We disciples are all devoted to the Dao and wish to study under a renowned master. We humbly request your acceptance and instruction in the Great Dao!"

They all knelt before the gate of Fangcun Mountain, sincerely speaking to the people inside. In fact, he didn't worship everyone; he was only willing to worship those who were truly capable, after all, he himself was at the Taiyi realm.

Upon seeing this, the Bodhi Patriarch, who was lost in thought, immediately began to calculate. After some deduction, he finally understood what was going on.

A wisp of the Great Dao gathered and formed a phantom that appeared in front of "Du". A burst of magic power was released, and Du stood up uncontrollably.

"Rise now. You are exceptionally gifted, a member of the first generation of humans, born with the blood of Donghua and Nuwa. You are naturally endowed with the power of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams. Now, having experienced the great changes in the human race, you have a firm heart toward the Dao and are on the path to the Great Dao!"

The Bodhi Patriarch revealed the origin of "Du" and praised him highly, but this made "Du" very unhappy because the other party had clearly rejected him.

As expected, Patriarch Bodhi changed his tone and continued, "According to my calculations, the renowned master you will be able to apprentice under this time will not be me, because we have no predestined master-disciple relationship!"

"Just keep going, follow your heart, follow what you believe is right, and you will eventually find a great teacher!"

After Bodhi Patriarch finished speaking, he patted "Du" and left a trace of the power of the Great Dao.

"I left the power of the Great Dao within you. The primordial world is extremely dangerous, but it can save lives in critical moments. Consider this my way of settling this debt of gratitude for your bow!"

After Bodhi Patriarch finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace, and even the Fangcun Mountain in front of him vanished without a trace.

But none of this disappointed "Du", and he began his apprenticeship journey again!

In a tribe in the east, Taishang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the void, and saw a person who was going around seeking a master.

"This child is destined to be my disciple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taishang disappeared. Yuanshi and Tongtian, who were left behind, exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say, but were clearly very happy.

After all, they had already taken in several disciples, but the eldest brother, Taishang, had not yet taken in any disciples, which was quite awkward. The identity of the second-generation eldest disciple of the Xuanmen would definitely fall to Taishang's disciple.

Otherwise, when it came to them, no one would be willing to submit to the other. Their disciples would fight tooth and nail over the title. Therefore, the two of them never discussed who came first or last, and their disciples addressed each other as they pleased.

Yuanshi sighed, "Now that my elder brother has also lost his disciple, it seems that the time has truly come for our Xuanmen to spread throughout the world!"

"Third brother, how is your compilation of scriptures going?"

The scriptures that Yuanshi inquired about were sectarian scriptures, which were both methods of cultivation and the true meaning of the great religion, just like the "Huangting Jing" compiled by the three of them.

Tongtian proudly declared, "It's almost finished! Twenty-four volumes have already been compiled, with only twelve remaining, totaling the number of Heavenly Dippers. The day the book is completed will be the day I, Tongtian, break through to Quasi-Saint!"

Yuanshi said with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good. My scripture is almost finished. The day it's completed will also be the day I break through to the Quasi-Saint level!"

The two exchanged another glance, clearly seeing the comparison in each other's eyes.

"Shall we compare?"

"Bibi!"

……

At this time, in the central Buzhou Mountain area, the Wu tribe had completed the cleansing of the human race, almost all of whom had been slaughtered, and the essence and blood of hundreds of millions of humans had been collected.

Because in the central region, the Witch Clan is the only dominant force, and no one can stop them. The human race's strength is insignificant in front of the Witch Clan, not to mention that there are several Ancestral Witches backing them up.

After slaughtering the human race, the Wu tribe quickly gathered its forces, returned to Buzhou Mountain, and began refining spiritual treasures.

A red light was flying in the sky; it was Hou Yi carrying the injured Chang'e.

After leaving Mount Tai, Hou Yi flew straight towards the Purple Palace in the East Sea.

In fact, he wanted to cross the river of time and space directly to the Purple Mansion, but unfortunately, the location of the river concerning the Purple Mansion had long been suppressed by the Queen Mother of the West's Kunlun Mirror, and no one could enter.

So Hou Yi had no choice but to fly towards the Purple Mansion in the East Sea. Although it was a bit slow, he would reach the Purple Mansion in no time if he flew at full speed.

"Big brother, look, isn't that Hou Yi?"

At this moment, the nine golden crows, who were leaving Longevity Mountain and about to return to Heaven, saw Hou Yi flying.

The Great Golden Crow scanned the red light flying ahead with its divine eyes, and upon closer inspection, confirmed that it was Hou Yi.

"That's him!"

"Big brother, what should we do? Should we intercept and kill him to avenge Xiao Ba and Aunt Chang Xi!" the Second Golden Crow said fiercely, his eyes filled with rage.

The Great Golden Crow glanced at Hou Yi again, observing his cultivation level, and finally said, "Hou Yi's current cultivation is only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, no longer the Quasi-Saint realm he once was. With the nine of us joining forces, we can indeed deal with him. What do you think?"

Among the nine brothers, the eldest, second eldest, third eldest, and fourteenth eldest were all at the peak of the Great Luo realm, and the rest were also at the Great Luo realm. When the nine of them joined forces, they were indeed not afraid of Hou Yi.

Upon hearing the words of the Great Golden Crow, the other Golden Crows were clearly tempted to take the opportunity to kill Hou Yi and avenge their loved ones.

If Hou Yi were at the Quasi-Saint level, they would turn around and leave, but if Hou Yi were only at the Great Luo level, what would they have to fear?

"beat!"

"beat!"

"Then let's fight!"

Seeing that all the Golden Crows had agreed, only the little Golden Crow said weakly, "Brothers, let's not cause any more trouble. Let's listen to Uncle and return to the Sun Star. Although Hou Yi is now at the Great Luo realm, he was once a Quasi-Saint. Can we really deal with him?"

"What are you afraid of, Little Ten? Hou Yi may be simple, but we are also Golden Crows. How are we inferior to him? We are of the same realm and have the same cultivation. We are nine of us, one of us. How could we not beat him? Even if we really can't beat him, with the speed of us Golden Crows, can Hou Yi catch up with us?" the Second Golden Crow said unhappily.

The little golden crow hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's fight, but if things go badly, we must escape."

The nine brothers quickly reached an agreement and began to devise tactics.

"We'll deploy the Golden Crow Formation and burn him to death with the true fire of the sun. Hou Yi is also carrying someone in his arms; with that burden, he'll inevitably be injured. Then we'll surround and kill him!"

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Hou Yi, holding Chang'e in his arms, was focused on going to the Purple Palace in the East Sea to seek help from the Queen Mother of the West for treatment.

But just as they were flying, the Great Dao trembled, and their minds instantly issued a warning. A blood-red longbow automatically appeared.

Before Hou Yi could react, nine figures instantly appeared above him, blocking his path.

The Great Golden Crow roared, "Hou Yi, today we will make you pay for Xiao Ba and Aunt Chang Xi's lives!"

Without further ado, the group produced a golden divine wheel in their hands. Judging from its level, it was a top-tier acquired spiritual treasure, which was truly rare.

Top-tier spiritual treasures are already rare, let alone nine identical ones appearing all at once. It's not so much rare as it's unprecedented. It seems that Di Jun and Tai Yi really went all out for the little golden crow.

"Get out of my way! I don't want to kill you today!" Hou Yi was only focused on getting to the Purple Mansion and didn't want to pay any attention to these people.

In his eyes, these kids were nothing but brats, and beating them would lower his status.

However, the nine golden crows were even more furious at Hou Yi's attitude.

The group unleashed their Great Sun Divine Wheels, mobilizing the power of the sun star. In an instant, a large formation was set up, surrounding Hou Yi.

The Golden Crow True Fire instantly transformed into the Solar True Fire, and the nine Golden Crows stood in the sky like nine suns, fiercely roasting Hou Yi in the middle. The Great Dao of the Sun transformed into the power of laws, sealing the heavens and the earth.

Hou Yi frowned. Although this level of solar fire was powerful, it still couldn't harm him.

After all, although his cultivation level had fallen to the Great Luo realm, his divine body still possessed the strength of a Quasi-Saint and would not decline due to the drop in his realm.

But now that our way out is blocked by the great formation, we have no choice but to fight!

Hou Yi held Chang'e in one arm, and the thick, turbid air transformed into a protective shield, protecting the two from the scorching heat of the sun. Then, the blood-red longbow in his right hand transformed into a divine axe, and he set his sights on the east and charged forward.

He has no intention of fighting at all; he's only thinking about saving Chang'e, so he doesn't want to waste any time.

The nine golden crows, now in their true forms, stood according to the positions of the Nine Palaces and Nine Luminaries. The golden divine wheels in their hands drew upon the sun star, and boundless solar power descended, blessing the group.

All the power was transformed through the great formation, and the nine elements were combined into one. The Great Golden Crow took the lead in making its move.

The golden crow cries out!

The golden divine wheel in his hand was unleashed, descending like a great sun, charging forward!

Hou Yi's gaze shifted. At that moment, he admitted that these nine golden crows were quite something, truly worthy of being the sons of Di Jun and Xi He.

Raising the divine axe in his hand, he mobilized the powerful turbid energy within his body, transforming the Great Dao into the power of rules. With a single swing of the axe, there were no fancy techniques, only endless slaughter.

With a single axe strike, the attack of the Great Golden Crow was instantly torn apart, and the offensive continued unabated, shattering the great formation of the nine people.

Hou Yi sneered, "If you want revenge, you should go back and practice more. You're still far from ready!"

After saying that, he turned and left!

Enraged by what he had said, the Great Golden Crow attacked again, this time transforming into a gigantic three-legged golden crow.

The golden crow roars to the sky!

The power of the sun continued to pour in, converging into a beam of true solar fire that shot directly toward Hou Yi.

"Shifting stars and changing constellations!"

The Great Golden Crow's attack did not stop; it directly used the Star Shifting Technique from the Heavenly Divine Power.

In an instant, the stars shifted, the sun set, and the great golden crow appeared in the distance.

Seeing this, the other eight golden crows also joined in, transforming into golden crows and using their great supernatural powers to shift stars and change constellations.

Hou Yi, who was about to leave, stopped and looked up at the heavens. At this moment, the power of the true fire of the sun was so great that it was enough to injure even a quasi-saint.

The protective shield formed from the turbid air could no longer protect Chang'e, and countless drops of sweat fell from her delicate body.

This isn't sweat, it's the power of life!

Chang'e's already fragile life was dealt another severe blow, and her entire body became transparent, as if she could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

At this moment, Hou Yi could no longer conceal his anger!

"You scruffy bird, you're asking for it!"

With a swing of his divine axe, he instantly tore apart the incoming True Sun Fire!

Then it soared into the sky, intending to interrupt the great supernatural power being unleashed by the group.

With another swing of the axe, the power of the Great Dao's rules formed an axe beam that rose to the sky, traversing time and space, and struck the heavens, instantly shattering the Star Shifting and Constellation Changing.

The blessing power of the Sun Star has stopped!

But before Hou Yi could even breathe a sigh of relief, a voice rang out:

"Please turn around, baby!"

The little golden crow held a gourd, chanted an incantation, and the power of the Great Dao surged forth.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife transformed into a white ray of light, revealing a creature with eyebrows, wings, a head, and eyes. Its eyes emitted white light, instantly freezing Hou Yi's weak primordial spirit and the Great Dao!

The Wu tribe originally had weak primordial spirits, and their strength was not determined by their primordial spirits, so this was nothing to Hou Yi.

However, it was truly painful to have the power of the Great Dao's rules sealed. One could not exert any of one's strength and could not break free. All one could see was a white light slashing towards them.

Just as the white light struck, Hou Yi finally broke free of his restraints, instantly transforming into his true form as a great sorcerer, reaching out with both hands to grab the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

Unable to resist, Hou Yi actually used his true form to withstand the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

A clang of metal clashing rang out!

Hou Yi was knocked back several miles by the impact of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, but he actually managed to withstand the attack without taking any damage, which was truly unbelievable.

Even Donghua would probably be ashamed if he saw this scene. Back then, the original owner was ambushed by the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, which injured his primordial spirit and gave him the opportunity to let his true spirit take control of the body.

Hou Yi was unharmed, but Chang'e was in dire straits; her body seemed unable to withstand the force of the impact and was about to shatter.

Hou Yi's heart was in his throat, and he dared not touch her, for Chang'e's body was gradually turning into spots, as if she would perish completely at any moment.

But at that moment, a power of law rose up and instantly protected Chang'e.

"The Law of Reincarnation!"

Hou Yi instantly recognized what it was. He hadn't expected that Hou Tu had left a contingency plan inside Chang'e's body. Fortunately, she had this plan, otherwise Chang'e would have really died.

At this moment, Hou Yi could no longer contain his anger. His powerful Great Witch True Form pierced through heaven and earth, and the power of his physical body compressed the surrounding space, causing it to deform. He swung his divine axe, tearing open the sky, and a space appeared. He carefully placed Chang'e inside.

He then closed the space, determined to focus solely on the battle and kill those scruffy birds!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the nine golden crows were about to flee. They did not expect that Hou Yi actually possessed the strength of a quasi-saint in physical form, which was definitely not something they could contend with.

The group instantly used the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique to escape to the Heavenly Court and the Sun Star.

But Hou Yi would never let them go!

The divine axe in his hand transformed into its original form, and a blood-red longbow appeared. Hou Yi stood on the ground, and the power of the earth and endless turbid energy converged. With the blessing of the power of the Great Dao's rules, a blood-red arrow appeared on the longbow.

Hou Yi drew his bow like a full moon, and an arrow imbued with the laws of the Great Dao shot into the sky, heading straight for the Great Golden Crow.

A blood-red dragon coils around the arrow shaft, roaring to the sky!

The Golden Crow's Rainbow Transformation Technique was indeed fast; it disappeared from sight in an instant.

However, in Hou Yi's heart, the figure of the golden crow was so clearly visible. This is the way of the heart, the direction of the heart, the path of the Way!

The Great Golden Crow had no time to react before an arrow pierced its divine body.

At that moment, he could clearly feel something shatter, like his heart, or perhaps the Great Dao itself.

However, he knew that the Golden Crow's source power was rapidly depleting, but he was powerless to do anything about it; everything felt so futile.

Do you regret it?

Before his death, this question arose in the mind of the Great Golden Crow. Before he could think any further, his divine body descended instead of rising, falling towards the primordial earth like a small sun.

"Brother!!"

"Brother!!!"

"..."

The other Golden Crows cried out in grief and indignation, but they dared not turn around and could only watch helplessly as their eldest brother died.

"escape!"

The little golden crow roared, instantly burning its magical power and true blood, and rushed towards the Heavenly Court and the Sun Star.

After shooting one arrow, Hou Yi on the earth did not stop. He then shot eight more arrows in succession, heading towards the golden crows.

Every arrow hits its mark, each one a golden crow!

The seven golden crows that were slow to escape were instantly shot down. Only the little golden crow, who was determined to escape, ran into the South Heavenly Gate at the last moment, and Hou Yi's arrow was blocked by the South Heavenly Gate!

The little golden crow survived!

He collapsed limply inside the Heavenly Court, feeling both despair and helplessness. A wave of exhaustion washed over him, and he finally fainted.

Perhaps at this moment, all ten golden crows have died!

On the earth, after Hou Yi shot down eight golden crows, he tore open space and carried Chang'e all the way to the Purple Palace in the East Sea.

Chang'e's injuries could not wait any longer; if it continued, she would surely die.

At this moment, a torrential rain began to fall from the heavens, it was unclear whether it was for the sake of the human race or for the golden crow!
