Primordial Era: Taibai, the Poison Master of Yaochi, drives a Sage insane!

Chapter 36 The New Three Realms Order!

At this moment, the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect who were stationed to provide assistance all lost their usual composure and stood there dumbfounded, their minds pounding with fear. They were completely stunned and lost their composure, their hearts filled with apprehension and panic.

As a member of the Chan Sect, he was burdened with the important task of assisting Xuanyuan in quelling the war. Even though he was afraid, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to fight, without daring to back down or give way in the slightest.

At the critical moment, someone took the lead in activating their supreme treasure. The Boundless Apricot Yellow Banner unfurled in the air, its boundless pale yellow auspicious light flowing and surging, instantly transforming into a giant defensive light shield covering a radius of a thousand feet. It stood firmly in front of the human army, forcefully blocking the invasion of the sky full of poisonous evil spirits, wind, rain, and thunder, and barely protecting the soldiers behind them.

Guang Chengzi's expression was solemn as he fully activated the Fantian Seal in his hand. The immense power of this treasure, as heavy as a mountain, permeated all directions, poised to strike the enemy formation. The other Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect joined forces to activate the supreme Pangu Banner.

The banner fluttered in the wind, and endless power of creation poured out from it. A giant heaven-opening blade, spanning the heavens and earth, condensed and took shape. It carried the primal and violent pressure of the creation of the world, tore through the sky, and with a terrifying sharpness that could shatter all things and destroy everything, it slashed down directly at Xing Tian, ​​who was charging ahead.

The Heaven-Opening Blade was incredibly powerful, as if it were a replica of Pangu's creation of the world. Wherever its sharpness reached, the void cracked layer by layer, and everything around it seemed to be split in two, which slightly boosted the morale of the human race.

On the other side of the battlefield, Jiufeng stood quietly behind the Wu Clan's formation, taking in the entire scene, and immediately let out a cold snort.

"I never expected the Chan Sect to even use the Pangu Banner, attempting to kill my Wu Clan's general with this supreme treasure. They are greatly underestimating the Wu Clan's strength. A single Pangu Banner is far from sufficient!"

At this moment, with the loss of the Slaughtering Witch Sword, the Human Race, the Witch Race, and the Jiuli Race had no more worries.

Before she finished speaking, Jiufeng raised her hand and waved it lightly. The Pangu Palace suddenly expanded, and the magnificent palace moved across the sky, instantly standing steadily above Xingtian's head.

The Pangu Palace possesses the supreme defensive power of Pangu's origin, making it indestructible and unbreakable throughout the ages, firmly protecting Xing Tian beneath the palace structure.

The Heaven-Opening Blade, hurtling down, slammed into the outer wall of the Pangu Palace. A deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth, and violent aftershocks swept in all directions. However, no matter how turbulent the power of creation was, it could not shake the Pangu Palace in the slightest. In the end, its sharpness was exhausted, and the mighty attack returned empty-handed, disappearing into the world.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; after all, the Wu tribe was once the overlord that shared the prehistoric world with the demon tribe.

Even if both of the two Ancestral Witches perished, they still couldn't compare to the newly risen human race.

For a long time, many cultivators, ordinary immortals and gods, and even many human races in the Three Realms have subconsciously believed that the Wu Clan is born with strong physical bodies and violent bloodlines. They only know how to fight bloody battles all day long, and they act entirely based on their bloodlust and likes and dislikes. They are not good at strategy, governance, or long-term planning. They are all just brutes with strong limbs and shallow minds.

That's nonsense. They have good fortune, resources, governance skills, and strategic planning; they just lack the spiritual essence, not the intelligence.

The Wu tribe is born with a physical body that has become sacred, and their bloodline has been passed down for ages. However, due to the limitations of their innate racial origin, they are unable to cultivate and refine their primordial spirit, and cannot follow the path of cultivation that involves meditation, enlightenment, and divine deduction of heavenly secrets. That is all.

The absence of a primordial spirit does not mean the absence of thoughts, vision, or the ability to plan and strategize.

The great shamans of the Wu tribe have survived since the ancient times, experiencing several tribal upheavals and changes in the world order. Their ability to stand firm in the era of shamans and demons, possessing boundless territory and hundreds of millions of people, could not have been achieved by mere brute force.

The Wu tribe possesses a complete ancient heritage, bloodline secrets, ancient warfare techniques, and methods for utilizing the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Continuing from ancient times to the present, they have accumulated a profound cultural foundation over countless years, resulting in a stable and rigorous tribal system.

The Jiuli tribe had a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions. Chi You, as the tribal leader, had many great shamans under his command, each with their own duties: dividing the territory, organizing the tribe, stabilizing the people's livelihood, and coordinating the tribe's resources. He managed the huge tribe in an orderly manner, and the tribe was united. Without mature and complete governance methods, the huge tribe would have long since fallen apart and would not have been able to gather the enormous power to rival the Xuanyuan human race.

Those who simply think he's a brute can't understand what it takes to rule a population of trillions or hundreds of billions!

With such profound foundations, if they couldn't destroy the Great Witches before them, they simply couldn't defeat the Nine Li.

Any military treatises or strategies are utterly useless.

This scene was witnessed by everyone on the battlefield, instantly leaving an indelible mark of shock on their hearts. The profound strength of the Wu Clan was fully revealed, and an invincible aura that was impervious to all magic and could not be defeated firmly enveloped the entire Jiuli army camp.

Seeing this, the morale of the human alliance completely collapsed, and their previously tense fighting spirit vanished. Faced with the witch clan's impregnable defense and unstoppable offensive, they had no power to resist.

On the ancient plains of Zhuolu, the Xuanyuan army collapsed completely, its armor and weapons scattered, its formation shattered, and countless human cultivators were killed or wounded, its momentum utterly overturned.

Just when the human race was on the verge of defeat and the Jiuli cavalry was about to advance and crush the entire army in a decisive moment!

Above the nine heavens, a gentle and supremely harmonious Taiqing white light traversed the sky, its serene Daoist aura descending, instantly filling the entire battlefield with tranquil and peaceful Taiqing Daoist energy.

Grand Master Xuandu arrived through the air, dressed in a plain Taoist robe untouched by dust, and holding the Taiji Diagram, a supreme treasure of the Taiqing realm.

As the scroll unfolds, countless yin and yang energies flow, the black and white fish rotate endlessly, and boundless creation and supreme defense are revealed with a thunderous roar.

The Tai Chi symbol stretches across the sky, instantly forming a golden bridge between heaven and earth!

The Golden Bridge spans a thousand miles of battlefield, suppressing the killings from all directions. It stands firmly in front of the entire Jiuli army, its golden light unmoving through the ages and its yin and yang indestructible, forcefully blocking all advancing offensives and making it impossible for the million-strong Jiuli army and many great shamans to advance even an inch!

The momentum for a decisive victory was instantly and forcibly halted.

Standing before the Wu Clan's formation, Jiu Feng witnessed this scene, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and a furious shout resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

"Despicable! Just as I thought! The Xuanyuan human race doesn't seek to fight for their own lives with iron and blood, but instead relies solely on the intervention of saints and immortal sects!"

Willing to be lackeys of the Chan Sect and vassals of saints! To rely on immortal sects and use holy power to oppress one's own kind—does this even deserve to call oneself the legitimate successor of humanity?!

Xuanyuan was already defeated and frustrated. Upon hearing the angry rebuke, he immediately retorted with a fierce shout!

"Nonsense! You Jiuli tribes are subservient to the Wu tribe in everything, following the Great Shaman and willingly serving as their henchmen! You are the Wu tribe's lackeys, what face do you have to rebuke our human race!"

Chi You's true form stood tall and upright, his eight arms opening and closing, his blood energy soaring to the sky. Upon hearing this, he roared in fury, his voice shaking the mountains and rivers!

"Utterly absurd! We, the Jiuli, are born from the fusion of human and witch bloodlines, sharing the same origin and being one throughout history! We have always been branches of the same race, so how can you speak of us as servants and lackeys!"

"In contrast, you of the Xuanyuan lineage have no blood ties or fundamental bonds with the Immortal Sect! Immortals are human, and you are human; you are two separate paths! The Immortal Sect, in its high position, uses the guise of assistance to manipulate the fortunes and control the future of your human race, clearly enslaving humanity and plundering the very foundation of humankind! You have been used by the Immortal Sect and manipulated by the Sages, remaining oblivious to this day—how pathetic!"

His words were powerful and resounding, exposing the truth that while the immortal sects assisted the human race, they were actually stealing the destiny of humanity.

The twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect all looked grim, unable to offer any rebuttal.

In a fit of rage, Xing Tian, ​​Xiang Liu, and the two witches Feng Yu unleashed the power of their life's laws, unleashing countless witch clan divine abilities, overwhelming poisons, thunder and rain, and the power of heaven-opening battle towards the Golden Bridge of Heaven and Earth!

The boundless power of chaos, slaughter, and poison combined and slammed into the golden bridge formed by the Tai Chi diagram.

The Taiji diagram is the supreme treasure of the Taiqing realm, where Yin and Yang rotate, creation arises spontaneously, and all laws cannot invade it.

Despite the full force of the witches' attacks, the golden bridge remained unmoved, its Daoist aura as stable as ever, without the slightest crack, firmly sealing off the path ahead. The Jiuli's strong attack was completely ineffective.

Jiufeng coldly observed the impenetrable defense, knowing that the Sage had personally intervened to bless the treasure, making further progress in this battle impossible. Continuing the fight would only increase losses and be futile.

He immediately spoke in a deep voice, halting the entire army's offensive: "That's enough, withdraw the troops."

An order is as firm as a mountain!

The unstoppable Jiuli army instantly ceased its killing intent, and all the shamans concealed their true ferocity. The army retreated in an orderly fashion, step by step, and steadily returned to its own lines, without greed for a decisive victory or lingering on the battlefield.

The murderous aura on the Zhuolu battlefield gradually dissipated, leaving only the Xuanyuan allied forces in a miserable and disheveled state.

The human soldiers were dejected, the cultivators sighed, the immortals of the Chan Sect looked solemn, and the entire army was in a slump.

Xuanyuan gazed at the empty battlefield, utterly powerless, and sighed, "How can we possibly defeat the formidable Jiuli Wu tribe? How can we break this stalemate?"

Guang Chengzi frowned, his face full of helplessness, and he solemnly reviewed the entire defeat: "With just the Pangu Banner of my Chan Sect, we can only attack and break the laws, but we cannot determine the outcome. The enemy has the supreme defense of the Pangu Palace, which is unbreakable for all eternity. We have the Wutu Wu Sword in hand, but we cannot even harm the physical body of the ancient great witch. If this continues, our human race will never be able to pacify the Jiuli. This battle has already reached a dead end."

Taiyi Zhenren sighed, "The Demon Clan's Heavenly Court once possessed a Chaos Bell. Now I understand why Emperor Jun and Taiyi went to such lengths to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword!"

Grand Master Xuandu frowned and sighed, "At this moment, if the Sage doesn't intervene, it's clear they lack the ability to defeat the Jiuli. However, the Sage cannot simply annihilate an entire race!"

Both of them are top-tier heroes who rule the three realms. Their intelligence and strategy far surpass those of ordinary people. They are by no means reckless people, being the Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor of the Demon Clan!

The entire ancient Heavenly Court's think tank consisted of countless individuals, including top-tier strategists like Xi Huang and Bai Ze.

Di Jun himself was the number one master of formations in the entire prehistoric world. The Hunyuan Heluo and Zhou Tian Xing Dou were both evolved from Di Jun.

Commanding millions of demons and ruling the ancient Heavenly Court, he is well-versed in the advantages and disadvantages of the situation and always weighs his actions carefully. He will not act without benefit, nor will he have the will to kill unless in dire straits.

Unless absolutely necessary, the forging of the Sword of Slaughtering Witches would never be done, as it would be a grave taboo that damages the Heavenly Dao's fortune and imbues it with boundless karma. It requires sacrificing a massive amount of the essence and blood of living beings, consuming endless clan fortune, and being tainted with overwhelming karmic debts of killing. Once this is done, it will be completely tainted with boundless killing karma, shake the Heavenly Dao's reputation of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, and sever many opportunities for harmony among the Demon Clan!

It would also bring negative backlash from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, making it a completely unprofitable move for Emperor Jun and Taiyi, who were in charge of the Heavenly Court and wanted to consolidate their eternal rule.

But they still did it, and since they did it, there must have been a reason for forging the Sword of Slaughter.

Di Jun and Taiyi forged the Demon Slayer Sword not out of bloodlust or short-sightedness, but because, under the pressure of the life-or-death situation of their race, they made the only extreme choice that could reverse the war and stabilize the foundation of the demon race's Heavenly Court after weighing all the advantages!

Now, in this decisive battle, having lost the Slaughtering Sword that had successfully killed the Great Witch, they realize just how dire the situation is.

All the Great Luo Golden Immortals remained silent, at a loss for what to do.

Left with no other choice, the immortals of the Chan Sect returned to the Jade Void Palace and reported to the Primordial Heavenly Lord the unsolvable predicament of the Zhuolu battlefield, the invincible defense of the Pangu Palace, and the unconquerable situation of the Jiuli.

After listening to all the reports, Yuanshi remained silent for a long time. Even as a sage, he had no way to break the situation of Pangu Palace guarding the city and the Jiuli's overwhelming power. He was helpless.

The human race's internal war has reached a stalemate, the Chan Sect's attacks have been ineffective, and the Wu Clan's foundation remains unbreakable; the overall structure of the Great Calamity has already solidified.

Having no other options, Yuanshi could only go to the side of the Eight Views Palace to ask Laozi for a solution.

After listening, Laozi pondered for a moment and said, "Now that things have come to this, killing and fighting are useless and fruitless. The only way now is to temporarily stabilize the human race's structure, completely sever the two branches of the human race, isolate the Jiuli and Xuanyuan, and end the endless killing."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sighed, "Is it truly to be this way?"

Laozi nodded after hearing this: "Does Second Brother intend to take action personally? If so, it would be a breach of the promise to Houtu regarding a sliver of hope!"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said, "But if that's the case, it goes against the prevailing trend of humanity being the protagonist of the primordial world!"

Laozi countered, "Where is the contradiction? Aren't the Jiuli tribe human? Or does the Wu tribe still possess the ability to reproduce? It's simply that the Jiuli tribe is not under the jurisdiction of the Sage!"

After pondering for a long time, Yuanshi nodded slightly, approving of the plan.

"If we cannot absorb them, then we will completely isolate them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi took up the Pangu Banner, and the sage's power spread throughout the primordial world!

The banners fluttered across the heavens, the primordial energy surged forth, and the supreme power to tear apart heaven and earth roared forth!

The Pangu Banner cleaved the ocean, severed the earth's veins, and cut off mountains and rivers, unleashing boundless power upon the land of Zhuolu!

Rumble—!

The entire Zhuolu Plain shook violently, the seas overflowed, mountains and rivers shifted, and the Dao patterns of heaven and earth trembled violently!

A colossal chasm, stretching across billions of miles of primordial wilderness, rose from the ground, towering into the sky and plunging into the abyss, severing the entire human land!

The natural barrier is towering and endless, sealed by the Great Dao, and solidified by the power of sages, making it insurmountable for all eternity!

Since then!

North of the natural barrier, the world was ruled by the Xuanyuan human race.

South of the natural barrier, the entire area belonged to the Jiuli Wu tribe.

One in the south, one in the north, completely separated!

The two races have severed all territories, fortunes, humanity, traditions, and borders, leaving no path for mutual conquest and no opportunity for mutual annexation.

Yes, now the Primordial Celestial Venerable believes that since it is impossible to completely destroy the Nine Li, it is better to directly block the Nine Li and prevent them from participating in the major events of the human race!
