The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 309 After the Fall of the Golden Immortal

"That's too fierce!"

After Luo Zu retreated back into the Red Cloud Cave, he exhaled a long breath, still shaken.

This was the first time he had encountered such a request for payment. In the blink of an eye, he was slapped. If it weren't for Luo Zu's quick reaction and the trapping formation set up by the demon race that helped him block for a moment, he wouldn't have had the chance to hide in the Red Cloud Cave.

He was lucky enough to escape, but the other rogue cultivators trapped here were not so fortunate.

This slap was clearly delivered by a powerful cultivator from the Witch Clan. However, he failed to distinguish between friend and foe, turning the demon race to dust and annihilating them, while also killing the rogue cultivators trapped within.

Furthermore, these immortals might not perish because of this; they might be reborn somewhere else in the next moment, or be resurrected again in a few years.

Other independent cultivators don't have this ability, so they can only be obliterated on the spot, leaving no trace of their Daoist essence.

Perhaps this powerful sorcerer of the Wu clan did this intentionally, simply to clear the field. The ensuing battle was beyond Luo Zu's ability to participate, or rather, it was never his responsibility to participate in the first place. It involved battles between Golden Immortals, contests between Taiyi Immortals, and even the intervention of Daluo Immortals.

He's now hiding quietly, waiting for things to calm down.

"Roar roar roar!!!"

Luo Zu's divine sense could even penetrate the cave and reach the primordial world to spy on the battlefield.

The battlefield at this moment was filled with roars and howls, but these were not the roars of powerful beings. Rather, it was the release of their Daoist techniques into this void that caused wave after wave of turmoil, resulting in howling spiritual energy and various strange phenomena in the world. Every now and then, strange beasts would be born from the turbulent spiritual energy, drawing upon the Daoist essence of the powerful beings. However, as soon as they had bodies, they were crushed by terrifying forces.

That's why there's such incessant roaring.

In addition, Luo Zu also observed that some grotto-heavens were born in the chaotic spatial principles, but they were extremely unstable and quickly destroyed. There were also some grotto-heavens that were born in such a chaotic and random situation, but they were destroyed by the aftershocks of the battles between the powerful beings.

This extreme power and chaotic Dao filled this void, and even Luo Zu did not know how large its area was. It might be a hundred light-years or even several thousand or tens of thousands of light-years.

These guys completely disregard the lives of the creatures in the primordial world. They don't even bother to conceal their Dao techniques, directly exposing them and spreading their immortal Dao charm far and wide. If no great supernatural being intervenes to quell this in the future, this region will probably remain a chaotic land of Dharma decline, where even Celestial Immortals and below will have no chance of passing through.

Despite feeling the terror within, Luo Zu had no intention of leaving this place.

What a wonderful opportunity this is to observe the Daoist arts of the Golden Immortals! Especially this scene of constant destruction, which provides Ancestor Luo with many novel and fascinating insights.

As his cultivation level increased, his 154 True Qi brains began to operate at high speed.

He had already reduced the "time flow" of the world within the pot to the level of the primordial chaos, and then devoted all the computational power of his true qi brain to observing this battle.

After all, he was currently on the battlefield, and such an opportunity was rare, so he had to seize it.

After observing for a long time, Luo Zu still couldn't observe the figures of the two combatants; he could only sense their presence.

Clearly, in order to engage in this battle, they have temporarily stripped away their physical bodies and directly displayed their "bodies" at the level of the Great Dao.

The Golden Immortals who have already attained enlightenment are the Great Dao itself. Their "body" is so vast that it cannot be compared to a flesh and blood body. The bodies that are usually displayed in the world are not even a small part of them, not even a drop in the ocean.

If one were to truly confront them, it would be akin to directly facing a certain aspect of heaven and earth. And at the moment of seeing all of them, one would have to instantly fill one's soul and spirit with all the information about the Great Dao related to them.

Some creatures will die on the spot as a result, while others will go insane beforehand, rendering their souls unable to receive information from the outside world.

As for becoming their vassals, it's absolutely impossible, because any being who has seen their true form has no chance of survival. Even if they go mad, after a brief period of madness, they will fall into a slow death. The vast amount of information will only crush their souls and spirits, and there will be no miraculous event of absorbing them, because they are not worthy...

However, cultivators at the level of Luo Zu would not experience this situation.

After embracing the Way, looking directly at the Great Way has long been commonplace.

Therefore, Luo Zu was still able to count how many Golden Immortals were in this place.

There are a total of twenty-one Golden Immortals of the Demon Clan, twelve Heavenly Witches, one being comparable to a Great Witch, and one Golden Immortal who is close to the Taiyi level.

If it weren't for this Golden Immortal being present, none of the twenty-one Golden Immortals would be enough to withstand a single slap from someone comparable to a Great Witch.

Slap after slap, crushed repeatedly, even a golden immortal would be obliterated.

That Great Dao will also fall silent until more cultivators practice it, or until the fundamental laws of the primordial world are balanced, and the power of other Great Daos is added to it, and the beings of heaven and earth become indispensable to this Great Dao. Then it will return to its original state, but that Golden Immortal will surely perish and will never be able to be resurrected.

However, this is the time when the Great Dao is at its weakest. If one were to transform into the Dao at this moment, the Great Dao's counterattack and the backlash from heaven and earth would become extremely minor.

Therefore, now is the perfect time to attain enlightenment.

However, the Daoist methods of a Golden Immortal who has attained enlightenment through such a shortcut are bound to be far inferior to those of other Golden Immortals. They need to cultivate diligently, participate in various Daoist methods under the Great Dao, and even directly deduce the Great Dao in the primordial world to reflect on the world. Only by expending countless efforts can the "weak" Great Dao be quickly restored to its original state.

Furthermore, such Golden Immortals are extremely easy to eliminate.

Normally, even a Taiyi or Daluo would have to go to great lengths to completely annihilate a Golden Immortal.

It is only easy if it is the very opposite and contrary to the great Dao.

If the destruction is incomplete, this Golden Immortal could be resurrected after hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions of years.

And the being at this moment, comparable to a great shaman, looked "familiar"—it was the transformed Emperor Yue.

This was analyzed based on the information emitted during the battle between the Golden Immortals present.

Of course, He is not a puppet created by the Wu Clan through some kind of witchcraft. He is a Wu Clan member who is still in the process of being born, a natural-born Great Witch. If He is born fully formed, He will be an absolute Great Witch, comparable to a Great Luo.

But He missed His time; He could not have been perfect from the moment He was born, and He might even have died young.

Therefore, the Wu tribe resorts to such methods, constantly performing sacrifices and frequently "calling out" their names.

As for whether it's worth it, this is a great shaman, even a supreme shaman, so how could it not be worth it?

The ancestral witches all felt that this was well worth it.

However, since He was born prematurely, He can only become an existence comparable to a great witch. If He wants to go further, He needs to hone His skills slowly.

Furthermore, Luo Zu now understands that this "accident" was not accidental, but rather had a real connection to him.
