Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Chapter 85 The Lich's Ruthlessness, on Mount Buzhou

"These ants, do they think they can turn the world upside down?"

Taiyi's voice rang in Dijun's ears, filled with suppressed anger and killing intent.

"Brother, why don't we wait until the Six Saints have left, then let me take action and slaughter them all!"

Di Jun stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic ancestral land of the human race below.

"No. When I visited Shouyang Mountain, the Sage Taiqing said that the Sage would not interfere in this calamity of the human race. However, since the Sage Nuwa created the human race to become a saint, and the Sage Taiqing left the Human Sect to become a saint, we cannot do nothing."

We sent out Grand Luo Golden Immortals, so they sent out a junior member of the Jie Sect. If you were to attack the human race, I'm afraid those Quasi-Saints hidden in the primordial world would also try to curry favor with the Saints.

It would be extremely unwise to push these people to the opposite side of the demon race.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi suddenly understood, but a few doubts arose: "Brother, why don't those saints just stop us directly? If they truly wanted to protect humanity, why would they go through all this trouble?"

Di Jun gazed at the gradually dissipating tribulation clouds: "Because they dare not defy the Heavenly Way. The slaughter of the human race by our demon race to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword is the inevitable course of the Heavenly Way. Although the sages are strong, they are still below the Heavenly Way. If they were to directly intervene, they would be defying the Heavenly Way."

Di Jun's voice was extremely loud, and the left and right prime ministers around him, the two demon saints who had already achieved quasi-saint status, and the many great Luo demon gods who attended him all perked up.

The will of Heaven is paving the way for the demon race to defeat the witch race, so what is there to fear in the final battle!

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Those barbarians of the Witch Clan only know how to fight against heaven and earth; they have no brains whatsoever. How could they possibly rule the primordial world? It is only natural that Heaven is helping our Demon Clan!"

Right Chancellor Tu Shan squinted, stroking his graying beard, and immediately echoed, "Only Your Majesty, with virtue and prestige shining as brightly as the sun and moon, is worthy to unify the primordial world!"

As Tu Shan spoke, countless demons' savage laughter, humans' roars, and screams echoed across the sky!

Di Jun glanced approvingly at Tu Shan. No matter whether what he said made sense or not, the Right Chancellor could always respond and offer a profound explanation.

"That junior named Xuanqiong is a pawn of the sage within the rules. He, in the body of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, carries the will of the sage and saves a portion of the human race."

However, if too many are taken away, divine punishment will descend, stating that only when the number of humans allowed to survive by the Heavenly Dao is sufficient will the Sages withdraw.

Di Jun turned around and looked at the countless demon soldiers and generals behind him.

"Now, it's our turn! The will of Heaven favors our demon race. The Sage has given permission. Everyone, go and gather more human flesh and blood for our demon race!"

"Long live the demon race! Long live the demon race! Long live the demon race!"

"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"

"Only our demon race will unify the primordial world!"

Countless demons roared like mountains and seas, instantly drowning out all other sounds in the primordial world.

Above the ancestral land of the human race, Feilian looked down upon it.

"Pass down the order."

Fei Lian's voice rang in the ears of every demon.

"This attack on the ancestral land of the human race is primarily for military training. Each unit will take turns attacking, surrounding three sides while leaving one open, to force the human race out of their ancestral land and ensure their complete extermination."

Fei Lian was not in charge of the massacre of humans in other places. He only knew that although all the saints had retreated, the ancestral land of humans was the place where the Taiqing Saint preached, and he did not want to be targeted by a saint.

His four Grand Luo Golden Immortals readily agreed and led their men to carry out Fei Lian's orders.

Humans were like cattle and sheep, driven by the demons across the desolate land, fleeing in all directions.

After the demon race finished collecting the flesh and blood of the human race, the witch race quietly collected the souls of the human race.

However, although the Wu tribe tried to conceal their actions, the demon tribe quickly discovered them.

"The Witch Clan! They're collecting human souls!"

Fei Lian's expression changed drastically. He immediately sent a message to Di Jun, declaring, "Send the order: not a single human soul should be spared; collect them all!"

When the news reached the Heavenly Court, a cold glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes: "The Witch Clan is indeed making big moves, even collecting souls. Perhaps it's also to fight against our Demon Clan. We absolutely cannot let them succeed."

"The Witch Clan is also collecting human souls? It seems they've found a way to counter us too."

Taiyi snorted coldly: "Then we can't let them succeed even more."

Di Jun nodded.

"Pass down the order: collect all human flesh and souls. Leave not a single bit for the witch race."

"Yes, sir!"

On the other side, Zhu Rong was furious when he saw the demon race starting to actively collect human souls.

"These hairy beasts, they'll even steal souls!"

Ju Mang's face darkened: "We can't wait any longer. Now that they've discovered us, let's just seize it!"

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield.

The demon race is slaughtering humans, collecting their flesh and souls.

The witch clan was also slaughtering humans and collecting their souls, while Shebi Shi was sneaking around, secretly adding plague poison into the flesh and blood of humans.

Humanity scattered and fled, their only hope being to be taken in by powerful beings in famous mountains and rivers.

In the West, on Mount Sumeru, the Guide Daoist retrieved the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, looked out over the primordial world, and sighed again: "Junior brother, why must you do this?"

Zhunti Daoist felt the Heavenly Dao shackles on his body grow slightly heavier and shook his head: "I also have compassion in my heart, and besides, I'm just offering some encouragement."

He followed the guide's gaze, and in a flash, he raised his hand and unleashed a divine light into the River of Destiny.

"After humanity has survived this calamity, it should assume the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth. We might as well go with the flow and lead these scattered fugitives to the west."

The words of the Daoist Zhunti instantly created ripples in the river of destiny.

Laozi on Shouyang Mountain glanced indifferently at the actions on Mount Sumeru in the west and shook his head slightly.

"The West is still a long way from achieving great prosperity!"

Even if Daoist Zhunti takes action, the human race will not flee to the western region.

Lao Tzu glanced at the sky and saw that the human race, at the border between East and West, in the place where Zhen Yuanzi was, would face this calamity.

"After this calamity, there should be human figures in all the myriad worlds surrounding the primordial world."

Lao Tzu pointed his finger, and the human race he protected transformed into streams of light, flying into the myriad worlds.

Subsequently, he transformed into countless forms to spread the Great Dao of Celestial Immortals, preparing to become the new Dao Ancestor.

On the other side, Li Qing was struck by the final heavenly punishment, his body turning into charred remains and flying backward. His body passed through layers of clouds and mist and crashed straight into a mountain peak.

At the critical moment, Li Qing barely managed to regulate his breathing and released a faint wisp of immortal light to protect his body. Then, a loud bang was heard, and rocks flew everywhere on the mountain.

Li Qing was so disoriented by the impact that he saw stars before his eyes, which aggravated his injuries, causing him to cough up blood.
