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

Chapter 24 Donghua Slays the Corpse

Donghua saw Fuxi's predicament and understood that Citie's attack was not Fuxi's intention.

Without saying anything more, he immediately took action and destroyed Ci Tie.

This time he was truly enraged. Although he was saddened by Yuan Xiong's death, he would not take action against him, since they were not close friends.

But Ci Tie actually attacked Xiong Er, which he couldn't tolerate. If he didn't do something, they would really think he, Donghua, was a pushover.

Just as Donghua was about to kill Citie directly, Xiong Er stood up and shouted:

"Okami"

Donghua stopped, looked at Xiong Er, and was about to say something when he heard Xiong Er say:

"Master, I know you're doing this for me, but I want to settle this score myself."

Donghua swallowed back what he wanted to say, feeling a sense of frustration.

Having been in the primordial world for so long, I have never had any disputes with anyone. I only want to cultivate in peace in order to attain the Dao of Hunyuan.

I was furious today, but Xiong Er stopped me, so I couldn't vent my anger.

Donghua thought about it for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

But when Fuxi heard Xiong Er's words, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "Good child, good child, what a good child! I will definitely repay you when I have the chance."

Xiong Er's words solved Fuxi's predicament: as long as Ci Tie survives today, it doesn't matter how he dies in the future.

The demons didn't say anything. At this time, the Heavenly Court had already begun to withdraw its troops, and they didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Donghua glanced at Xiong Er, nodded, and said, "I, Donghua, will protect this child. If the Heavenly Court ever dares to bully its inferiors again, my Pure Yang Sword will never stand in for it."

After saying that, he waved his right hand, collected Yuan Xiong's body, and left the battlefield with Xiong Er and the others.

The demons on the eastern battlefield also began to withdraw their troops, and soon there was not a single demon left on the battlefield.

Donghua brought Xiong Er to the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe.

Without saying anything more, he returned to his previous residence.

He began his cultivation, and his actions today caused his Three Corpse Gods to erupt, but he gained a new understanding of the Corpse Severing Technique.

He had always thought that the first corpse he would kill would definitely be the benevolent one, but he never expected that the malevolent one would make a move today.

Today's angry outburst made Donghua realize a lot: kindness is definitely not the mainstream in the prehistoric world; this place is no longer Earth.

Think of Ancestor Hongyun, who was definitely the best person in the prehistoric world, yet he still died and disappeared in the end.

He felt that the current prehistoric world was too backward and completely disordered.

There should be order in the primordial world, and heaven and earth should have a heart, instead of endless killing and fighting. If things continue like this, the ultimate fate of this world will be annihilation.

Donghua was immersed in the river of fate and began to comprehend the art of severing corpses.

Outside, there are Shao Siming and Qingxuan, the Dharma Protectors.

In the long river of fate, the once inseparable and densely intertwined obsessions of good and evil are now clearly distinct.

Donghua began to guide the evil thoughts to gather together, and slowly Donghua experienced and overcame all the evil thoughts from his previous life. After all, as a descendant of the Red Army in his previous life, how much evil thoughts could he have?

Then came the original body's evil thoughts, all the evil thoughts that had gathered since its birth.

During the Longhan period, the evil towards ferocious beasts had already been overcome after Donghua destroyed Taotie.

Donghua hadn't expected that there would be malice towards the Dragon Clan, the Demon Clan, the Monster Clan, and even towards Hongyun. However, it was more like jealousy than malice.

However, jealousy is an evil thought.

There are many other malicious thoughts he harbors towards others. It can be said that most of the people Donghua knows have malicious intentions towards him.

Perhaps this is what philosophy refers to as the demon within each person.

Taking advantage of the Three Corpse Gods' rampage, Donghua concentrated all his evil thoughts and then gradually defeated them.

Overcoming these evil thoughts does not mean that Donghua will no longer be evil, but rather that he will be able to face evil directly and that evil will no longer dominate his character.

This aligns with the Great Dao and allows for a better understanding of the Primordial Great Dao.

As Donghua's concentration and the evil thoughts he had been suppressing increased, those evil thoughts began to materialize into a human figure.

In reality, Donghua's figure began to appear illusory, and his figure suddenly changed.

One moment he was dressed in black with black hair, the next he was a figure in purple and white, alternating between the two.

It looks incredibly magical.

Finally, at a certain moment, the image froze and stopped changing.

At this moment, Donghua was dressed in all black, even his signature white hair was black, and his eyes were devoid of light, only pitch black, before he closed them tightly again.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Donghua opened his eyes, took out the Jingyang Bell, and shouted.

"cut!"

A black light emanated from its entire body and converged towards Jingyang Zhong.

The Jingyang Bell gradually transformed, and the Great Dao Laws and innate spiritual light contained within it began to pulse and change, actively absorbing the churning black airflow.

After a short while, the black torrent stopped flowing, and Donghua once again transformed into a purple-white figure.

After absorbing the evil thoughts, Jingyang Zhong transformed into a black figure and stood in front.

He then bowed to Donghua and said, "Jingyang greets the Venerable One!"

Donghua didn't say anything, but burst into laughter.

"It feels so strange to talk to yourself!"

With a flick of his finger at the black-clad man, it instantly transformed back into the Jingyang Bell in his hand. With another thought, it transformed back into his own evil corpse, Jingyang.

He sighed inwardly, "The Three Corpses Technique is truly wondrous! Teacher, you are a genius!"

At this time, Donghua's cultivation level was still at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, and he had not yet become a mid-stage Quasi-Saint.

Severing the Three Corpses is a method and path to enlightenment, but it does not directly improve one's cultivation level.

Instead, it brings oneself closer to the Dao, elevates one's Dao realm cultivation, purifies the Dao heart, frees one from worldly troubles, and allows for a better understanding of the primordial chaos.

Donghua assessed his cultivation level: peak of the initial stage. This level of cultivation was absolutely top-tier in the current prehistoric world, ranking among the top few.

This time, the dismemberment of the corpse came out of nowhere; he himself hadn't expected it.

"Truly, the Tao is the most profound, the most mysterious of all, the gateway to all wonders!"

Donghua got up and left the bamboo house.

Shao Siming Taihua was waiting outside.

"Elder brother"

When Shao Siming saw Donghua walk out, she happily went up to him.

Shao Siming Taihua sensed Donghua's cultivation level and excitedly asked, "Brother, you've broken through?"

Donghua nodded, then shook his head.

"While there wasn't a breakthrough, it's still a significant improvement!"

"How long have I been in seclusion?"

Taihua: "Brother, this time you've been in seclusion for a full three thousand years."

This is about the right time; after all, it's about dismembering a corpse, it's not that easy!

Thinking back to what happened before he went into seclusion, it was the first time he had acted impulsively since arriving in the prehistoric world, and that first impulsive act almost led him to clash with the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

If he had actually killed the demon god Ci Tie back then, he would have been in deep trouble and would have inevitably fought against the Heavenly Court in the future.

Thinking of this, Donghua asked, "How is the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe doing now? And how is Xiong Er?"

Taihua: "During my brother's seclusion, the Heavenly Court withdrew its troops from the Primordial Continent, and the Demon God Clan quickly occupied various continents. In the east, Jumang was the leader; in the west, Rushou; in the north, Gonggong; in the south, Zhurong; and in the center, Houtu."

"The remaining demon gods are scattered in all directions, with Dijiang and Zhujiuyin guarding the Demon God Temple."

"The Iron-Eating Beast Tribe has moved back to the Houtu Tribe, and Xiong Er, no, now it should be Yuan Zhen, has become the new chieftain of the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe."

"However, Yuanzhen does not manage tribal affairs. He will only be able to take power after he breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"Yuanzhen has not left; he is waiting here for you to emerge from seclusion."

Donghua nodded, indicating that he understood.

"There will be more and more battles in the primordial world in the future. Traveling with me in the primordial world now will not be of much help to your cultivation. Go back to Zifu Continent and cultivate diligently after you return."

Shao Siming wanted to say something, but after looking at Donghua's serious face, she thought for a while and didn't speak. Instead, she nodded.

This trip with the Emperor to the prehistoric world has been very rewarding. First of all, my cultivation has broken through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and I have found my own path.

She has even acknowledged the Emperor as her elder brother; she should feel content.

Now is the time to return to the Purple Mansion, consolidate my cultivation, and reorganize my forces.

To help his elder brother achieve great things.

Speaking of helping the Emperor achieve his great cause, she thought of her conversation with the Iron-Eating Beast tribe.

Thanks to the Emperor's great favor to the Iron-Eating Beast Clan, the two sides reached an agreement to form an alliance between the Iron-Eating Beast Clan and the Purple Mansion, which was not made public.

This can also be considered a kind of gain.

Shao Siming Taihua said, "Brother, please take care."

Donghua nodded and said, "When you return, urge all the people of the three islands not to cause trouble."

Taihua Shao Siming bowed and took her leave.

P.S.: I have officially signed a contract and will update regularly from now on. However, signing the contract is just the beginning, and I hope everyone will continue to support Wangyue.
