Primordial Era: Me, starting with the Primordial Enlightenment Tree

Chapter 28 Di Jun and Tai Yi Establish the Demon Race

"Click~"

The magical artifact shattered instantly, and the man in black suffered a severe backlash from the technique. A mouthful of bright red blood gushed from his mouth, and his face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

"This—this is absolutely impossible—"

"Who—who are you?"

The man in black stared intently at Tianci, his eyes filled with uncontrollable terror.

He knew perfectly well that this time, he had truly stumbled upon a formidable foe.

It is an iron plate so hard that even the Heavenly Dao cannot budge it.

Apart from the black-clad man whose soul was scattered.

The three Xiao sisters, who were standing to the side at that moment, saw this scene clearly, and their clear, beautiful eyes instantly filled with undisguised joy.

This means that they have finally escaped danger and are safe.

No longer do they have to live in fear of being kidnapped and humiliated by this man in black.

At the same time, the three stunningly beautiful faces were filled with utter shock.

When they saw Tianci not dodge or evade, but instead use his bare hands to directly confront the innate spiritual treasure, the three sisters' hearts were in their throats, and they were so frightened that their souls almost flew away.

But who could have imagined that Tianci's strength would be so formidable? In the blink of an eye, he shattered the black-clad man's innate spiritual treasure into pieces.

To be able to shatter the physical body of an innate spiritual treasure with a single punch—just how terrifying is this cultivation foundation?

In that instant, the beautiful eyes of the three Yunxiao sisters were filled with admiration and worship for Tianci, and the thought of becoming his apprentice and learning his skills arose uncontrollably in their hearts.

"Hmph, a dying man doesn't need to know so much!"

Tianci spoke in an icy tone, devoid of any warmth.

Before he finished speaking, he clenched his fist again, unleashing a devastating force, and charged straight at the man in black.

The overwhelming pressure from the Quasi-Saint realm had already locked the man in black firmly in place, preventing him from moving even a finger.

"No----"

"don't want----

"You cannot kill me! I am a close follower of the Eastern King Duke's Purple Mansion. If you kill me today, the Eastern King Duke and the entire Purple Mansion will never let you off!"

The man in black lost all color in his face and screamed in terror.

"Heh! The Eastern King Duke?"

Tianci sneered, his eyes full of disdain. He was nothing but a piece of trash whose body had been shattered twice by his punch.

Tianci Qianchong's steps did not falter for a moment, nor did he hesitate even for a second.

"Bang!"

Without the slightest suspense, the Quasi-Saint Realm was completely crushed by the Taiyi Golden Immortal. In the blink of an eye, the man in black was blasted into a cloud of blood mist by Tianci's punch, completely dying and disappearing, his body and soul annihilated, leaving not even a trace of his true spirit. Fine blood droplets fell from the sky.

The strong, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the entire world.

"Thank you so much for saving our lives, senior! If it weren't for your righteous intervention, the three of us sisters would probably have met with utter ruin!"

Seeing the man in black completely annihilated, the three Yunxiao sisters breathed a sigh of relief, their beautiful faces still showing lingering fear.

A young man who looked still very young was addressed as "senior" by three stunningly beautiful fairies.

The scene was so incongruous and funny that I couldn't find the right words to describe it.

To outsiders, this scene would seem indescribably bizarre and absurd.

Most importantly, the difference in their body size and height is not just a little bit; they are not even in the same league!

Hearing the Three Immortals' words of gratitude, Tianci couldn't help but want to shout in his heart, "I am your future senior brother!"

But after thinking for a long time, he swallowed the words back down.

If these words were actually spoken, the subsequent cause-and-effect relationships would be impossible to explain clearly.

"It's nothing, just a small thing I did casually, nothing to worry about!"

Tianci spoke calmly and casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the Three Immortal Sisters.

"Hmm, that figure, that appearance, even compared to Nuwa and the others, she's in no way inferior!"

Gazing at the graceful figures of the three Xiao sisters before him, Tianci couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"S-Senior, what are you looking at?"

Being stared at so intently by Tianci, whether it was the composed Yunxiao, the lively Qiongxiao, or the charming Bixiao, their cheeks instantly burned hot, two intoxicating blushes spreading across their beautiful faces, and even their ears turned completely red.

"Nothing—nothing at all."

Tianci quickly looked away and waved his little hand, pretending to be calm.

After a moment of silence.

Yunxiao seemed to have finally made up her mind. She first exchanged a glance with Qiongxiao and Bixiao beside her, and they both saw the determination in each other's eyes.

"Please, senior, accept us as your disciples!"

Yunxiao gently bit her lower lip, speaking solemnly word by word. Her clear, beautiful eyes were fixed on Tianci, her stunning face filled with earnestness and expectation.

"Hmm? Taking on apprentices?"

Upon hearing Yunxiao's words, Tianci froze on the spot, his mind blank for a moment.

These are supposed to be my real fellow disciples in the future, and now they all want to become my disciples?

No, no, no, how can that be? You can only be a junior sister, not a disciple.

Let's leave this troublesome matter of taking on disciples and teaching them to my cheap master, the Tongtian Sect Leader!

"Please grant my request, senior!"

Seeing this, Bixiao and Qiongxiao immediately joined in, their pretty faces full of longing and anticipation.

They knew better than anyone else that in this dog-eat-dog world, people like them, without any sect or faction...

A female immortal who cultivates alone will inevitably be targeted by malicious people sooner or later if she cannot find a strong enough backer, just like that man in black just now.

They were completely obsessed with their looks and physical attributes.

"senior?"

Seeing that Tianci did not respond for a long time, the three sisters' eyes dimmed instantly, and a deep sense of loss welled up in their hearts.

"Cough cough————"

"As for this apprenticeship—let's forget about it. But don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, a destined benefactor will surely come to take you as his disciples in the future."

After considering it for a moment, Tianci finally spoke gently and politely declined their request.

"Ding! Successfully rejected Yunxiao's attack. Gained over one million cultivation points!"

"Ding! Successfully rejected Bixiao, gained 800,000+ cultivation points!"

"Ding! Successfully rejected Qiongxiao, gained 900,000+ cultivation points!"

The cold, impersonal system notifications rang out one after another in Tianci's mind.

"oh----"

Seeing that Tianci had clearly refused her request to become his disciple, Yunxiao's beautiful eyes instantly filled with a layer of misty tears.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao were the same; all their expectations vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of disappointment.

"Alright, alright, although I cannot accept you as my disciples, since our meeting in this vast and boundless world is fate, I will give you these things!"

With a casual flick of his little hand, three lustrous, translucent jade bottles brimming with spiritual energy appeared out of thin air in his palm, each containing perfectly round pills.

The jade bottle contained the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, personally refined by his cheap senior master, the Sage Laozi of the Taiqing Realm.

Since they'll all be fellow disciples in the future, it's only natural to prepare some protective pills for them in advance!

Besides, he has so much of this stuff that it's practically piled up into a mountain!

It can be said that most of the pills that Taiqing Laozi usually refined ended up in his pocket through some roundabout way.

You should know that he usually treats these precious golden pills like candy, drinking them as easily as water, without feeling the slightest bit of heartache.

In this vast and desolate world, only Tianci would dare to squander the elixir refined by a sage and be so wasteful.

"Thank you so much for bestowing the elixir, senior!"

The three Yunxiao sisters accepted the jade bottle of pills, bowed to Tianci in unison, and thanked him repeatedly.

They could vaguely sense that the elixir in the bottle was full of spiritual energy and was definitely not an ordinary thing.

"No need to be so polite."

Tianci waved his little hand casually.

A moment later.

"Alright, now that this matter is settled, it's time for me to make my departure."

Let's say goodbye here!

Tianci's gaze slowly swept over the stunning figures of the three Yunxiao sisters, and he spoke softly.

"Senior, are you leaving already?"

Bixiao's clear, beautiful eyes instantly filled with deep reluctance.

"Um!"

Tianci nodded slightly.

"Oh—okay then!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely meet again in the future."

Tianci looked at the three of them and said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished instantly, disappearing completely from the spot.

In fact, Tianci did not go far away immediately; he simply concealed himself and hid in the gap between the void.

He planned to secretly escort the three Yunxiao sisters back to their cultivation cave before heading back to Kunlun Mountain.

After all, their current cultivation level is not very high, only at the Golden Immortal realm, and this place is located in the East Sea region, where unknown dangers and crises lurk everywhere.

"Second sister, third sister, let's set off too! We'll devote ourselves to cultivation after returning to the temple."

Seeing that Tianci's figure had disappeared, Yunxiao raised her eyes to look at Bixiao and Qiongxiao, and said softly, "O"

Unbeknownst to them, Tianci was still hiding in the shadows, silently protecting them.

"Okay, big sister."

And so, time flew by quietly.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

After months of long-distance flight, the three Cloud Sisters have finally returned to the island where they were born.

This is a quiet, nameless island nestled deep in the East China Sea.

Tianci, who was hiding in the void and witnessing this scene, could finally put his mind at ease and leave.

Immediately, he turned around and headed towards Kunlun Mountain, taking a step to cross the void and return.

Time flies, and a thousand years is but a fleeting moment, gone in the blink of an eye.

On that very day.

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, in the core stronghold of the demon race.

Di Jun and Tai Yi stood side by side, exuding an imposing aura.

Behind the two, led by ten demon lords including Bai Ze and Jiu Ying, stood no fewer than a hundred powerful demons with incomparably strong auras!

Just from the terrifying aura emanating from these great demons, it's clear that even the weakest among them possesses the cultivation level of the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Behind these great demons stood countless "people" who were transformed from various primordial beasts! From near to far, their cultivation levels were, in order, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Golden Immortal, Xuan Immortal, and Immortal!

The further you go, the lower the cultivation level of the monsters becomes, but their numbers increase exponentially!

Starting from the land beneath our feet, a dense horde of demons stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly extending to the very edge of the starry sky.

Such a large number of demonic beasts gathered here, each with a solemn expression and a serious face, as if they were about to hold some grand ceremony that could shake the primordial world.

At that moment, Di Jun and Tai Yi suddenly raised their heads and loudly swore an oath to the vast heavens: "Heaven above, I, Di Jun, and I, Tai Yi, have seen that the billions of demon beasts in the primordial world, due to the lack of unified regulations, have all established their own mountain strongholds and attacked each other, causing chaos to spread across the primordial land! Moreover, the demon beasts in all directions have suffered from the bullying and slaughter of the Wu tribe, and have nowhere to find peace and protection!"

We, brothers, hereby solemnly swear to establish the Demon Race, to unite the myriad races of the primordial world within, and to defend against the barbarian witches without! May Heaven bear witness!

Having said that, the two saw that the Heavenly Dao above the nine heavens showed no reaction whatsoever, as if it were completely "indifferent" to whether the demon race was established or not!

After a brief hesitation, Di Jun and Tai Yi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination. They immediately channeled all their magical power, raising their arms and shouting to the heavens and earth: "Within the primordial world, apart from the Wu Clan, all those who have achieved cultivation shall belong to the Demon Clan! I, Di Jun, shall be the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan! I, Tai Yi, shall be the Eastern Emperor of the Demon Clan!"

"Demon race, stand!"

"Buzz"

Just as Di Jun and Tai Yi finished speaking, a golden cloud of merit, about an acre in size, suddenly descended from the heavens, shining brightly, and then split in two in the sky.

About half of the merit-golden cloud flew straight down towards Di Jun and Tai Yi!

As the vast merits merged into their bodies, Di Jun and Tai Yi's cultivation levels instantly broke through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

Immediately afterwards, the remaining golden clouds of merit above the nine heavens split into three again. About one-tenth of the total merit floated directly above Bai Ze, Jiu Ying, and more than a hundred other Great Luo Golden Immortals, and then fell down and merged into their heavenly spirits!

Nourished by the blessings of Heavenly Dao, more than ten of the dozens of great demons who were originally stuck at the peak of the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal broke through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal on the spot. Powerful auras rose and fell, sweeping across the four directions!

Those great demons who failed to break through on the spot all showed joy, feeling that their path to enlightenment was clear and that they were only one step away from breaking through.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light of merit that accounted for about 30% of the total in the sky mysteriously disappeared without a trace in an instant!

The remaining merits scattered and merged into the bodies of the millions of demons in the arena, causing their cultivation to advance by a significant step!

Although all the demons present were puzzled by the enormous amount of merit that had vanished into thin air, it was clearly not the right time to delve into this matter!

Thus, the demon race was officially established in the primordial world.

Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were the most powerful among the demon race, naturally ascended to the supreme positions of the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor of the demon race, as expected by all!

The demon race was one of the two main protagonists of the Lich War, so naturally they would be favored and blessed by the Heavenly Dao! As soon as Di Jun and Tai Yi made their oath to establish their race, it immediately spread to every corner of the prehistoric land with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao.

The formal establishment of the demon race was like detonating a world-destroying stellar nuclear bomb in the boundless ocean!

In an instant, a colossal wave and an immense uproar were unleashed throughout the entire primordial world!
