The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 540 The Human Purge Plan

Golden Immortals have their own way of fighting, and Taiyi Immortals have their own way of fighting. Their realms, dimensions, and powers are different, so the damage they cause is also very different.

There are actually quite a few differences between the five steps in the Golden Immortal Dao Realm. If it is just an ordinary first step, then don't even think about fighting the second step for three or four rounds. You will be suppressed in a few moments.

Besides the difference in strength caused by the difference in realm, there are also differences between the Great Daos, the differences in the level of magic treasures, and the mutual generation and restraint of various Dao techniques.

Luo Zu now possesses numerous spiritual treasures, all capable of holding his own. With these, he can hold his own against other Golden Immortals in battle, and may even easily defeat them. Moreover, Luo Zu himself has cultivated the Great Dao of Existence, making him even more capable of suppressing many Golden Immortals in combat.

Now, he has single-handedly fought and suppressed twelve Golden Immortal Demon Gods in the Sea of ​​His Heart. If such a feat were to spread, it would surely make him famous throughout the prehistoric world.

Although it is common to hear of battles between people of different levels, being besieged by twelve Golden Immortals, especially demon Golden Immortals who possess multiple spiritual treasures and three demon gods at the third step of the Golden Immortal realm, would be a formidable lineup. Even a third-step Heavenly Witch from the Witch Clan would have to admit defeat.

However, Luo Zu was not complacent about this; he felt that his future situation would be even more severe.

The demon race is not limited to these twelve Golden Immortals. Look at the starry sky; every bright star has a demon god who entrusts his heart and spirit to the Great Dao within it.

However, since Luo Zu had annihilated these nine demon gods, the stars they resided in would inevitably lose their starlight. In order to prevent the demon race from discovering this situation in advance, Luo Zu borrowed a bit of star god aura that he had seized when he suppressed the vengeful Gu demon god. With this aura and the help of the "traitor" in the Zhou Tian star system, Luo Zu easily infiltrated the Zhou Tian star system, then locked onto the stars of these demon gods, and entrusted his primordial spirit brain to them, thereby temporarily lighting up the stars and preventing the outside world from noticing this change.

Only after doing all this could Luo Zu sit peacefully in his cave.

Moreover, he had learned something from the Half-Hearted Heart-Locking Banner: the Heavenly Court had no intention of wiping out the cavemen.

Therefore, the Upper Cave Man could actually survive this calamity.

However, the Heart-Locking Banner also indicates that the Heavenly Court will not give up on refining the Witch-Slaying Sword, so the human race is still in grave danger.

So, will other human tribes on the ancient land suffer the same fate?

Luo Zu had actually made a small calculation of the current number of humans in the prehistoric world. Although, for some reason, humans were scattered throughout the prehistoric world, their numbers were not large. Only the Upper Caveman tribe had a population of hundreds of billions, and other places had at most tens of thousands. In the remaining places, there were probably only a few hundred people living in fear. Civilization had not yet been born, and they were still in the stage of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

But if we want to refine the Witch-Slaying Sword, how can we rely on only three to five million humans?

A sword forged in this way would probably be difficult to kill even a Golden Immortal, so what's the point of forging it?

Luo Zu's thoughts began to wander: "If the Heavenly Court doesn't take action against the human race on the primordial land, then..."

Luo Zu thought of a possibility: the demon race had once "raised" humans as livestock, like pigs and dogs.

So, would the demon race use these humans they have raised as materials to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword?

Such thoughts inevitably arose in Luo Zu's mind; he simply couldn't help but indulge in such fantasies.

Moreover, his thoughts were quickly brought back to the present. The reason why the demon race wanted to use the flesh and soul of the human race to refine the witch-slaying sword was that the human race's physical shape was similar to that of most of the witch race. Furthermore, when the goddess Nuwa created the human race, she drew on the eighty-second transformation of the god Pangu and the "bloodline" of many innate deities on the primordial land, which ultimately led to the creation of such a special human race.

The demon race wants to extract and refine the flesh and soul of humans to create a method to counter the witch race, which is something the demon race has been researching.

However, most of the human race on the primordial land is "protected" by the goddess Nuwa. If they massacre others, they will surely be punished by the goddess Nuwa. In fact, there are still many demon gods among the demon race who are loyal to Nuwa. However, the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor are now the only ones who can speak for the demon race. Nuwa has even sealed herself off outside the primordial world, so they cannot speak up for Nuwa.

If the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor wantonly slaughter the human race, and Nuwa's "confidants" seize the opportunity, they might have to ask Nuwa to intervene. At that time, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race might be split in two. After all, although Fu Huang's power has been purged once, and most of the Great Luo have either submitted to the Heavenly Emperor or retired, if Nuwa, who is Fu Huang's sister, raises her arm and calls, they will surely respond.

This is why the lineage of the Heavenly Emperor Donghuang is reluctant to take action against the human race on the prehistoric land.

It can be said that pulling one hair affects the whole body, and the chain reaction it triggers is something they cannot withstand.

However, the struggle against the Wu tribe could not be without progress. Although the long-standing conflict changed after the Eastern Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor achieved Hunyuan, no one expected that the Ancestral Wu would also have perfected their Twelve Divine Fiends Formation of the Capital, and even combined to transform into the Great God Pangu, who was powerful enough to fight against Hunyuan.

The advantage gained by the two Heavenly Court rulers vanished just like that. After several more battles, including several battles between the Great Luo Wuji and the Great Luo Fa, the battlefield was moved directly to the so-called Great Thousand World. It seemed that the war with the Wu Clan would never come to a conclusion.

In desperation, in order to help the Heavenly Emperor Donghuang win the battle and for the demon race to achieve a decisive victory in this war between witches and demons, the powerful demons of the Heavenly Emperor Donghuang lineage came up with this old method.

Whether it would succeed was uncertain, so they couldn't offend the Nuwa and Fuhuang lineage too much. Thus, they didn't harm people like the Upper Cave Man, but instead focused their plans on the people they had been raising for a long time.

Thinking of this, Luo Zu felt a headache coming on. Those humans who were raised by the demon race would probably be hard to find. Perhaps they were in that vast world, or even "raised" on some future timeline, or perhaps they were just living in some conceptual dimension.

Thinking of this, Luo Zu's mind became hazy, and then he felt as if his primordial spirit was hooked by a rope, and the fishing rod at the end of the rope was about to be pulled up to fish his primordial spirit out of his body.

Luo Zu was jolted awake and immediately came to his senses.

"Who dares to be so audacious!" Indeed, they were quite bold to commit such an evil deed right under the nose of the sage.

Luo Zu naturally wouldn't tolerate it. He raised his hand to unleash an invisible force to investigate its background, and even squeezed and searched for its existence within the vast expanse of three thousand light-years.

Luo Zu's actions caused such a stir that the disciples of the three religions who were cultivating in seclusion and the rogue cultivators of Kunlun Mountain all came out of seclusion.

Despite Luo Zu's extensive efforts, he was unable to locate the entity that had captured his consciousness.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Zu? What's wrong?" A fellow Daoist rushed over to ask with concern.

Luo Zu naturally wouldn't hide this matter and immediately informed all the rogue cultivators who came to check on the situation.

However, everyone quickly realized the key point: to dare to do this under the nose of a sage, and to accomplish it within the formation set up by the Great Luo, must be extraordinary in terms of both supernatural power and background.

But everyone present was no pushover, so why would they be afraid of such a cowardly fellow?

After a few words, they will join forces to find this guy.

Some Daoist practitioners unleashed their divine senses, covering the entire Kunlun Mountain; others unleashed their spiritual treasures; still others revealed their true Dao forms. Naturally, supernatural powers and techniques were also abundant. In short, at this moment, the area outside Ancestor Luo's cave was truly dazzling with golden light and colorful hues, with numerous Daoist techniques and supernatural powers being displayed, making it a truly lively scene.

However, Luo Zu did not make any further moves. Instead, he chose to observe quietly. With such a commotion, that fellow must have escaped. How could Luo Zu possibly catch him by the tail?

After trying their skills, the more than three hundred fellow Daoists who had come here also failed to find the thief. After comforting Ancestor Luo for a few words, they left.

In the end, only Xuandu Daoist and Duobao Daoist, along with other old friends, remained present.

"Who do you think is plotting against you, fellow Daoist?" Xuandu Daoist asked in a deep voice.

Luo Zu's account of his experiences this time is much more comprehensive.

"Just now I was thinking about how humans are being raised by demons, and then I felt a connection with the thread of guidance. After that, I was pulled along, but the feeling wasn't strong. Otherwise, I would have been pulled along and wouldn't have been able to break free." Luo Zu was full of questions.

"Could it be a design by the demon race?" Daoist Duobao asked doubtfully.

Xuandu immediately denied it: "It should be impossible. Given the current domineering nature of the demon race, if they intended to attack you, it would not be such a simple matter of sensing and manipulating you."

"Do you think it might be a reminder from the goddess Nuwa?"

Luo Zu wasn't entirely certain about this possible answer.

However, they could only guess at the moment, but Master Xuandu offered a solution: "If all else fails, I'll go ask my master."

Luo Zu did not refuse and immediately agreed: "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I am grateful for your help."

Xuandu waved his hand: "It's alright. This scoundrel dared to invade Kunlun Mountain, so Master will naturally have to deal with it."

"Thank you, Sage. I'm sorry to have troubled you." Luo Zu still did not refuse.

In the primordial world, one should not be too hesitant in one's actions, otherwise one will surely be looked down upon by others.

"These are turbulent times. Fellow Daoist Hunyuan Jindou is still fighting against the Flying Demon God outside Kunlun Mountain, Junior Sister Jinling has to guard the Kunlun Mountain formation, and the other Great Luo Immortals on Kunlun Mountain also have their own arrangements. That's why they were targeted by outsiders. The conflict between the Witch and Demon races is now even more endless, and I'm afraid the righteous path in the world will be difficult to manifest." Daoist Duobao sighed from the side.

His words were naturally born of deep sorrow, for he felt that although he was a senior disciple of the Jie Sect, he was merely a junior disciple in the Kunlun Mountains.

After Duobao finished his reflections, the Antarctic Immortal chimed in, "Fellow Daoist is now cultivating peacefully in the Kunlun Mountains, so that thief certainly cannot harm your life."

Luo Zu naturally nodded in agreement, agreeing that it was indeed the right thing to do. If he did not cultivate quietly here but instead focused on pursuing his enemies, he could not stay in this mountain. If he went down the mountain and attracted his enemies, and the demons took advantage of his vulnerability, he would probably die.

He's not like Hongyun, who knowingly flaunts his presence outside while being watched by others. That would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter.

So if the Old Ancestor Hongyun hadn't been so "arrogant," he would still be alive today instead of being reincarnated.
