Primordial Salted Fish: Starting from Refusing to Join the Demon Clan

Chapter 100 Trading

Before Yang Mei's calm yet penetrating voice had completely dissipated, a sudden change occurred in the solidified chaotic space!

"Buzz—!"

The space around Kunpeng, which had been sealed off, suddenly twisted and folded, like billions of transparent glass blades, coming from all directions...

From all directions, without leaving any blind spots, it came to strangle his broken demon body!

Each fragment of space carries the terrifying power to sever dimensions and annihilate existence; it is the most fundamental offensive divine power of the Great Dao of Space—Space Strangulation!

At the same time, in that eerie forest, countless "willow branches" made of solidified time dust and chaotic origin suddenly came to life. Ignoring spatial distance, they were like billions of insidious chaotic pythons, carrying the will to devour, restrict, and decompose, densely stabbing towards Kunpeng!

Yang Mei wanted to see if this "insect" that had escaped from the primordial era was qualified to become his pawn, or—whether it had the value to be replaced by him!

"roar--!"

The threat of death caused Kunpeng to unleash a roar that shattered the chaos!

His eerie green pupils instantly turned into a pure crimson color, a symbol of the ultimate unleashing of the Great Dao of Slaughter and the Great Dao of Return to Nothingness!

Faced with this inescapable and unstoppable spatial strangulation and the cage of ten thousand willows, he did not hesitate at all, nor did he need to hesitate at all!

Clang!

A terrifying clang, seemingly capable of severing cause and effect and ending eternity, resounded throughout this deathly silent chaos!

A massive, dark red blade, condensed purely from the will to kill and entwined with a dense, incorruptible aura of bloodlust, suddenly appeared in the Kunpeng's claw!

It was that very blade of slaughter that once belonged to the gods and demons of chaos, and although it was damaged and fell in rank during the Great Calamity of Creation, it was still incredibly fierce!

"Break!"

The Kunpeng spread its wings furiously, and demonic power and the Dao intent of Guixu were frantically poured into the killing blade!

On the blade, countless twisted phantoms of demonic vengeful spirits shrieked and condensed into a dark red bloodline that tore through the chaos!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The flash of the blade resembled a waterfall of blood cascading backwards!

Those seemingly indestructible fragments of space, capable of shattering stars, crumbled and vanished like fragile glass the moment they came into contact with the killing blade's light!

The Great Path of Slaughter destroys all laws, and even space itself is within its annihilation range!

puff!puff!puff!

The countless chaotic willow branches that shot towards them seemed to have met their nemesis!

Wherever the killing blade passed, the incredibly tough willow branches were easily cut down as easily as a hot knife through butter!

The broken edge was as smooth as a mirror, and the remaining murderous aura frantically corroded the broken branch, preventing its regeneration and emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound!

Amidst the crisscrossing blades and the pervasive aura of bloodlust, a brief "safe" zone was forcibly carved out within the impenetrable space and the cage of willow branches!

The massive demonic body of the Kunpeng twisted and turned amidst the flashing blades, appearing disheveled, yet it completely neutralized the attack that was enough to kill an ordinary quasi-saint!

A slight tremor ran through his mind as he raised his eyebrows:

Oh? A weapon of slaughter?

There's also the aura of the Ruins of Return—

How could they use it so skillfully, even breaking through space with killing?

Although his cultivation level is still low, his application of the fundamental principles of the Great Dao and his combat reflexes are remarkable.

That makes some sense. It seems that not all the pieces Hongjun chose were useless.

While possession grants a physical body, the compatibility of that body with slaughter and the void, as well as its inherent spirituality, means that forcibly seizing it might diminish its value.

Perhaps, it wouldn't be bad to make use of it?

The offensive came to an abrupt halt.

The frozen space resumed its flow, and the wildly dancing willow branches slowly retreated back into that eerie forest.

A deathly silence returned, as if the life-or-death struggle just moments before had been nothing but a dream.

Kunpeng gasped for breath, its claws gripping the killing blade trembling slightly. It forcefully suppressed the weakness brought on by the surging blood and depleted demonic energy. Its sharp, blood-red eyes were fixed on the core of the forest ahead. Its voice, hoarse yet filled with unyielding will, cried out: "Senior, your supernatural powers are vast, and your mastery of space has reached its pinnacle! This junior, Kunpeng, has strayed into this place by mistake and has no intention of offending you! I humbly request that you reveal yourself, Senior!"

A moment of silence.

At the heart of that chaotic forest, space rippled outwards like waves.

A human face slowly materialized.

This human face stands quietly on the thickest "trunk" that flows with the origin of chaos, as if it has merged into this forest and the entire edge of chaos.

It was Yang Mei, the chaotic god and demon of space.

"The creatures of the primordial era."

Yang Mei's voice remained calm, revealing neither joy nor anger. "You bear the mark of Hongjun, the remnants of slaughter, and the traces of the Dao of Guixu—and carry the 'flavor' of the primordial world. You are quite interesting."

Alarm bells rang in Kunpeng's mind, and he quickly calculated:

As expected, the Chaos Demon God of Space raised his eyebrows!

The other party is unfathomable!

He saw right through all my cards!

The Hongjun Mark is a death warrant, the Blade of Slaughter is a double-edged sword, and the Dao Mark of Returning to the Void is both an opportunity and a shackle.

His pointing it out was both a warning and an assessment.

interesting?

They probably saw their own usefulness!

We must be extremely careful!

"You have a discerning eye, senior."

Kunpeng restrained its ferocity and lowered its posture, but its back remained straight. "This junior has encountered a great calamity and was thrown into this place by the power of the Void, losing its way home."

"Senior is the Supreme Being of Chaos, may you offer guidance and help this junior return to the Primordial World?"

"I am deeply grateful and will certainly repay you handsomely!"

He proactively raised his demands, testing Yang Mei's intentions.

Yang Mei looked at Kunpeng with calm, unwavering eyes, as if she could see right through his thoughts.

"The journey home?" A faint, almost imperceptible smile seemed to curve his lips. "The primordial world is heavily fortified, with Hongjun presiding over the Heavenly Dao. How could it be easy? You want to go back? It's difficult. However—"

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone leaving no room for argument: "I happen to possess something that I left behind in the primordial world. This thing is of utmost importance to me."

"If you can retrieve it for me, I will not only send you back to the primordial world in peace, but also give you something you have always dreamed of."

Kunpeng's thoughts raced:

As expected, there were conditions!

Lost item?

For a Chaos God to value something so highly, even to the point of trading with an "ant" like me, is no ordinary feat!

The other party deliberately avoided giving specifics, firstly as a precaution, secondly to see if I was sensible enough not to press for details, and thirdly—obtaining this thing would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous! He was just making empty promises!

Although a Great Luo Golden Immortal already has the means to survive in the Chaos, that also depends on the living being. If it is a living being born from the Chaos itself, a Great Luo Golden Immortal can indeed survive in the Chaos, but he is a primordial being and cannot survive in the Chaos—he must return to the primordial world!

"What is it that you are looking for, senior? If I can help you, I will do my best!" Kunpeng asked tentatively.

With a raised eyebrow and a slightly narrowed gaze, an invisible pressure instantly enveloped Kunpeng.

"The time is not yet ripe, so it cannot be said."

"You only need to know where this thing is; when the time is right, I will tell you. If you are willing, then accept this karmic consequence. If not—"

He didn't finish speaking, but the sense of threat that made the space feel like it was freezing again was unmistakable.

At the same time, a vast and profound fragment of thought, containing endless mysteries of the Great Dao of Space, swept across Kunpeng's primordial spirit like a fleeting glimpse, allowing him to instantly glimpse a path to the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal, as well as the deeper mysteries of the laws of space!

Kunpeng's primordial spirit trembled violently:

The Path of Primordial Chaos! And insights into the Great Dao of Space!

This temptation is too great!

It is more precious than any magical treasure!

He's giving you a taste of the good before putting you in the shackles! That lost item is definitely a huge problem!

But—if I don't agree, given the methods he's shown, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this place alive today!

Returning to the primordial state is nothing but a pipe dream!

Agree to his offer; there's at least a glimmer of hope and a huge reward! Let's gamble!

The internal struggle ended in an instant, and a resolute glint flashed in Kunpeng's eyes. He took a deep breath (even though there was no air in the chaos) and said in a deep voice, "Your gift, senior, is truly enlightening!"

"This junior is willing to accept this karmic debt! I will definitely retrieve that item for you, senior! However—"

Yang Mei was very satisfied with this.
