If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 101 Rewards Arrive: Refining the God-Slaying Spear!

When the Demon Emperor Jun saw that the Wu Clan was about to leave, he immediately cursed:

"Dijiang, you really are a coward. Now that you see us fellow Daoists have arrived, you're in such a hurry to run away?"

Despite the insults from the Demon Emperor Jun, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang did not act rashly; he continued to lead the Witch Clan to retreat.

Seeing that his provocation tactic had failed, the Demon Emperor Jun immediately addressed the people around him:

"Fellow Daoists, the Witch Clan is trying to escape. Let's attack together, annihilate them, and we'll achieve victory in one battle!"

Unfortunately, despite Emperor Jun's persuasion, none of them showed any intention of making a move.

The Witch Clan is powerful, and it's easy to force them back, but to completely annihilate them, probably no one here can do it.

As for joining forces to attack, these cultivators each had their own ulterior motives; who would really be willing to fight the Witch Clan to the death?

Seeing that everyone remained unmoved, and considering that their demon race had suffered heavy losses, Emperor Jun, the demon emperor, could only put the matter aside for the time being and let the witch race retreat calmly.

"snort!"

The Demon Emperor Jun was extremely cunning, but Donghuang Taiyi, standing to the side, couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

He was always aloof and arrogant. His elder brother had invited everyone to help, but no one had expressed their support. This was clearly a sign that they looked down on the brothers. How could Donghuang Taiyi not be furious?

Ao Bai spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, Fellow Daoist Tai Yi, the Wu Clan army has retreated, and we have suffered considerable losses. Why don't we rest and recuperate first, and deal with the Wu Clan later?"

Ao Bai was giving Emperor Jun a way out, and Emperor Jun looked at Ao Bai gratefully and nodded in agreement.

"Today's fierce battle relied on your strength. If you don't mind, please come and sit on the Sun Star, so that our demon race can show you some hospitality!"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, immediately put on a smiling face. As the Demon Emperor, he was indeed very shrewd and composed, never showing his emotions and making it impossible for people to understand his thoughts.

As for all the living beings, they all agreed and no one left beforehand.

They're already on the Sun Star; it would be outrageous if they didn't stay.

"Your Majesty is so kind, how could we not reciprocate? Hahaha, please!"

Zhunti Daoist beamed with joy. He was keen to befriend the demon race, so he naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

Ao Bai looked at Zhunti Daoist again and had to admit that Zhunti Daoist was indeed shrewd and difficult to deal with.

"The Witch Clan has retreated; my reward should be arriving soon."

Ao Bai was filled with anticipation. This time, they had taken the initiative to participate in the war between the Lich and the Demon Clan, successfully stopping the Lich Clan's attack and preserving the Demon Clan's strength. This may seem insignificant, but it was actually of great significance.

At least all races have seen the strength of the demon race and their hope of defeating the witch race.

As a result, more races will inevitably be willing to approach the demon race, actively cooperate with them, or even join them.

Although the Henghe Water Mansion lineage did not directly benefit from this, with the demon race restraining the witch race, Ao Bai and his group could develop and improve at their own pace, gaining a space to survive in the cracks.

As for the future dominance of the Lich King, Ao Bai is familiar with the "plot" and has some confidence in the future.

Ao Bai's only worry was that since they had already voluntarily joined the Great Tribulation, they might also be considered as those who would face the tribulation.

Judging from the current situation, the Dragon Clan is far stronger than the Qilin Clan and the Phoenix Clan. They were originally the most powerful of the three clans, which will inevitably attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao.

Just as Ao Bai was deep in thought, the reward arrived in his account.

[Reborn in the primordial world 98,254 years ago, you and the Henghe Water Mansion fought against the Sun Star, helping the demon race successfully resist the attack of the witch race and thwarting the witch race's plan to destroy the demon race. The rewards are as follows:]

[Basic Reward: 21,000 basic cultivation points.]

[Special Reward: One Jade Talisman for Refining Any Innate Spiritual Treasure.]

Looking at the reward, Ao Bai smiled brightly; the [Jade Talisman for Refining Any Innate Spiritual Treasure] was clearly quite good.

Ao Bai possessed the God-Slaying Spear, which he had never dared to refine easily, as that demonic spear filled him with immense apprehension.

The things belonging to the Demon Ancestor Rahu are not so easy to obtain. Since obtaining the God-Slaying Spear, Ao Bai has never intended to refine it, but instead placed it inside the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl.

Over the years, he had been observing in secret, and although he had not found anything amiss, Ao Bai remained cautious.

With the [Any Innate Spiritual Treasure Refining Jade Talisman] rewarded by the cheat code, I can directly and completely refine the God-Slaying Spear in one step.

By doing so, the risk can be successfully avoided.

The fact that a cheat code helped refine the God-Slaying Spear is completely different from Ao Bai refining it himself.

The gathering on the Sun Star ended hastily. Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was willing to entertain everyone, but the cultivators had no intention of staying any longer.

To put it bluntly, they all had their own ulterior motives this time. Their help to the demon race was merely due to the current situation. If the witch race were in a weaker position, they might have turned around and sided with the witch race instead.

These powerful beings were not willing to let the Lich and Demon races dominate; they wanted to perish together!

"Fellow Daoists, we shall meet again!"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, personally saw them off, and everyone left. Ao Bai and the others also departed together, returning to Henghe Water Palace.

As he watched everyone leave, the smile on Emperor Jun's face vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness.

"Brother, these cultivators are all up to no good; they're utterly despicable!"

Donghuang Taiyi said indignantly, how could he not see the hypocritical faces of those creatures?

They came under the guise of helping, but at the crucial moment they stood idly by, their attitude was quite clear.

"Hmph, we don't have enough strength yet. We'll develop rapidly in the future, strengthen the demon race, and then I'll make them pay!"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, said coldly that their demon race now possessed some strength, and they had also verified the power of the "Primordial Chaos River Formation." As long as they continued to improve the formation, they would surely have the day to defeat the Witch Clan!

However, the prerequisite is that they must develop and improve rapidly, and have enough power to protect themselves before the witch clan destroys them.

After the Wu tribe left, they returned to Buzhou Mountain immediately.

In this great battle, neither the Witch Clan nor the Demon Clan suffered significant losses. Their fighting was stopped by the crowd and did not achieve the desired effect.

"Let's work together to deduce the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.' Once this formation is complete, we can immediately annihilate the demon race!"

Dijiang, the ancestral shaman, stopped everyone and did not allow the ancestral shamans to extend their authority to their respective tribes.

Now they understand very well that those powerful beings of the primordial era are on the opposite side of the Witch Clan. If they want to destroy the Demon Clan, they must have enough strength, or rather, the strength to contend with the entire primordial world.

If the Wu Clan wants to dominate the prehistoric world, it will inevitably affect the "interests" of these cultivators. It is understandable that they would stand up against the Wu Clan.

"Brother is right. The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is incredibly powerful. Once perfected, it will surely sweep across the world."

Zhu Jiuyin, the Ancestral Witch, said that they had great confidence in the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation" and everyone was looking forward to the moment the formation was completed.

One by one, the Ancestral Witches nodded in agreement. They abandoned their external expansion and put aside their own cultivation, focusing all their efforts on jointly deducing the formation.

Meanwhile, Ao Bai and the others had already returned to Henghe Water Mansion.

In this great battle, the Yokogawa lineage suffered no losses; on the contrary, they gained prestige among all races.

However, all living beings are now focused on the Witch and Demon races, and no one is paying attention to the Henghe lineage.

Ao Bai was quite happy to see this situation, but unfortunately, the development of Henghe Water Mansion was not fast, which was Ao Bai's only concern.

The dragon race's fortune is too weak; it's indeed very difficult for them to grow stronger now.

"First, refine the God-Slaying Spear!"

Ao Bai took out the God-Slaying Spear. This demonic spear emitted a dazzling divine light, its baleful aura stirring the heavens and earth, and its demonic power shaking all directions.

These divine weapons and artifacts exude divine energy that attracts Ao Bai, clearly indicating that they are intended for Ao Bai to refine.

Ao Bai pretended not to know, but inwardly he became more and more cautious.

"Refine the God-Slaying Spear!"

As soon as Ao Bai thought about it, the jade talisman for refining spiritual treasures disappeared, and a special connection was instantly established with Ao Bai.

His primordial spirit imprint appeared in the God-Slaying Spear, and he refined this top-grade innate spiritual treasure at an extremely fast speed.

"boom!"

Within the God-Slaying Spear, Ao Bai's primordial spirit imprint completely merged with the God-Slaying Spear. This innate spiritual treasure was no longer the treasure of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, but Ao Bai's.

At the same time, a remnant soul suddenly escaped from the God-Slaying Spear, and boundless demonic energy instantly spread out.

"How is this possible? How could you refine the God-Slaying Spear in an instant?"

The voice of Demon Ancestor Rahu appeared, and he looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

It turns out that back then, the Demon Ancestor Rahu was completely destroyed, his primordial spirit shattered, leaving only this wisp of remnant soul to escape by residing in the God-Slaying Spear.

Over the years, Demon Ancestor Rahu has been trying his best to recover, but unfortunately his injuries were too severe and he was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, so he had no chance to recover at all.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu, clinging to life, was constantly looking for an opportunity. He originally planned to wait until Ao Bai refined the God-Slaying Spear, then take advantage of Ao Bai's inattention to devour him.

Unfortunately, Ao Bai was far too cautious. After obtaining the God-Slaying Spear, he did not touch it for tens of thousands of years, which made the Demon Ancestor Rahu even weaker, and his remaining soul almost dissipated.

Now, Ao Bai has instantly refined the God-Slaying Spear, leaving the remnant soul of Demon Ancestor Rahu without its last refuge.

Without the remnant soul of the God-Slaying Spear to reside in, Demon Ancestor Rahu became increasingly weak, and a hint of panic finally appeared in his eyes.

"It really was you!"

Looking at the weak, remnant soul, Ao Bai's caution and prudence had clearly been effective.

Now that only a wisp of the Demon Ancestor Rahu remains, Ao Bai is not afraid of him.

Although the remnant soul of Demon Ancestor Rahu was powerful, it could not use any supernatural powers and was far from being a match for Ao Bai.

"Ao Bai, if you cooperate with me and help me restore my physical body, I will definitely do my best to train you and greatly improve your strength. What do you say?"

Seeing that it was impossible for Demon Ancestor Rahu to devour Ao Bai, he turned to tempting Ao Bai instead.

Ao Bai shook his head and said:

"Demon race, now that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has attained sainthood, even if you regain your strength, can you defeat him? If I help you, wouldn't I be going against Dao Ancestor?"

Ao Bai's words stunned Demon Ancestor Rahu, who looked on in disbelief.

"Old man Hongjun, has it really come to this? I never thought he would actually..."

While Demon Ancestor Rahu was distracted and shocked, Ao Bai suddenly activated the God-Slaying Spear, and a ray of cold light shot out, pointing directly at Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"Bang!"

With a sweeping motion of his spear, Ao Bai struck.

The remnant soul of Demon Ancestor Rahu was far too weak, and coupled with Ao Bai's sneak attack, Demon Ancestor Rahu had no chance to dodge at all.

"you,,,!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu's eyes were filled with deep resentment. He hadn't expected Ao Bai to resist his temptation and act so ruthlessly to kill him.

Before the Demon Ancestor Rahu could finish speaking, he had already perished completely.

Ao Bai was well aware of the future; even if Demon Ancestor Rahu were to recover, he would still be no match for Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

In the future, when the Dao Ancestor merges with the Heavenly Dao, his strength will become even greater, and the Demon Ancestor Rahu will be even less of a match for him.

It was precisely because he understood the future course of events that Ao Bai chose to kill the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou without hesitation.

Now that the remnant soul of Demon Ancestor Rahu has been destroyed, the threat that Ao Bai sensed has also completely dissipated.

At the same time, a powerful surge of Heavenly Merit descended, instantly enveloping Ao Bai.

"Is this massive amount of merit a reward for slaying the Demon Ancestor Rahu?"

Ao Bai was overjoyed. He never expected that he would receive so much merit power just for destroying a remnant soul.

The merits and virtues of Heaven have boundless and wondrous uses, which no cultivator in the primordial world can refuse.

Its effects are even greater than those of innate spiritual treasures.

"It must be. Demon Ancestor Rahu detonated the western ley lines, annihilating countless lives and causing the destruction of the primordial world. All living beings suffered calamity. This endless cause and effect has long been recorded by the Heavenly Dao. Now that I have completely slain Demon Ancestor Rahu, I am worthy to receive these merits."

After Ao Bai understood, he felt a surge of joy.

This time, by killing the Demon Ancestor Rahu, he completely shattered Rahu's hopes of revival; he was the one who truly destroyed him.

This merit is even greater than when Hongjun Daozu defeated the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. After all, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou died by self-destruction, so it can be said that Hongjun Daozu did not directly kill him.

Now, a massive amount of golden light of merit is engulfing Ao Bai. If he chooses to use this merit to improve his cultivation, he could probably soar directly to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, Ao Bai did not do that. Once he used merit to improve his realm, his foundation would become unstable, and if he wanted to break through again in the future, he would have to continue to rely on the energy of merit.

In this way, he became completely bound to the Heavenly Dao, becoming a different kind of "puppet".

Ao Bai didn't want to be controlled by others, and once the merits were used to improve his cultivation, they would lose their original purpose, and the luck, fortune, and so on that should have existed would no longer exist.

Therefore, Ao Bai did not act rashly, but instead concentrated this massive amount of merit and combined it with the merit aura he had accumulated previously.

"If we use this merit to condense some spiritual objects, the effect might be even more extraordinary."

Ao Bai's mind raced. He had heard of many treasures of merit, and their effects were all very powerful.

Ao Bai was well-prepared for how to use his merits. If his plan succeeded this time, his strength would increase significantly.

However, no one knows for the time being how Ao Bai will use this merit energy.
