Primordial Era: Starting with slaughtering all the gods and Buddhas in the sky

The fierce night wind howled through the narrow passage, and the nauseating stench of blood in the air was so thick that even the wind couldn't dissipate it.

The Black Scale Demon King swung his giant steel fork violently, and the violent demonic energy swept up the severed limbs on the ground, smashing them down on Huang Chen.

Huang Chen pushed off with his feet, and his whole body shot backward like an arrow.

"boom!"

The steel fork smashed into the bluestone slab where Huang Chen had been standing, sending shards of stone flying and creating a crater half a meter deep in the ground.

"Retreat? Where do you think you're going to retreat to!" The Black Scale Demon King's thick snake tail slammed wildly against the ground, his scarlet vertical pupils filled with savagery.

"Men, charge in! Capture this two-legged sheep alive, I'll eat his brains raw!"

"Hiss—"

Outside the narrow passage, the army of three thousand snake demons surged like a boiling black tide, crushing over the corpses of their companions, baring their venomous fangs, and frantically pouring into the valley entrance.

Dark clouds loomed over the city, and a foul-smelling, eerie wind nearly suffocated people.

Huang Chen retreated to the end of the narrow passage, with the gate of the shelter behind him. Looking at the snake demons surging from all over the mountains, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He suddenly raised his right hand, his palm gripping a formation plate tightly. With a burst of strength from his fingertips, crimson blood seeped into the patterns on the formation plate.

"The flame of heaven and earth, rise!"

Huang Chen let out a loud shout.

"Buzz—"

The ground at the entrance to the entire valley trembled violently. Crimson array patterns emerged from the ground, weaving together into a massive net of fire.

A thick white mist rose out of nowhere and instantly enveloped the entire narrow passage.

The hundred or so snake demons at the forefront crashed headlong into the mist.

Before they could react, a dark red flame, half a meter high, suddenly shot up from the ground!

"Hiss—"

A heart-wrenching scream tore through the night sky.

The snake demons at the very front were instantly engulfed by the flames. The beasts' hard scales were like paper in the face of the fire, their flesh sizzling and burning, and the stench of burning flesh filled the air.

[Ding! Slaying a Tier 1 serpent demon, stripping you of your sins, and gaining 50 Karma Points!]

[Ding! Slaying a Tier 1 serpent demon, stripping you of your sins, and gaining 50 Karma Points!]

[Ding! Slaying a second-tier serpent demon, stripping you of your sins, and gaining 150 Karma Points!]

In Huang Chen's mind, system notifications rang out like a torrential downpour.

"Ah Shi! Do it!" Huang Chen roared without turning his head.

Behind the high bunkers on both sides of the narrow passage, Ashi suddenly stood up, shirtless, muscles taut, holding a huge pottery jar in both hands.

"Smash these beasts to death!" Veins bulged on Ashi's forehead as he slammed the pottery jar down at the swarm of snake demons below.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Hundreds of earthenware jars fell like hailstones. The jars shattered, and sticky grease splattered all over the snake demon.

"Fire the spears!" Ashi roared again.

Dozens of guards leaned out, holding sharpened animal bone spears with burning hemp straw wrapped around the tips.

Whoosh whoosh!

The burning bone spear pierced the night sky, precisely striking the swarm of greasy snake demons.

"Boom—"

The fire was fueled by the oil. The fire array, which had been burning only on the ground, instantly transformed into a raging sea of ​​fire.

The narrow passage turned into a true inferno. Hundreds of snake demons writhed and tore at each other in the sea of ​​fire, eventually turning into piles of charred remains.

The human men behind the bunker watched this scene with tears welling up in their eyes.

"Burn them!"

"To avenge our fallen kin!"

This may be the first time that humanity has truly fought against the demon race in a systematic way.

Watching those once arrogant and domineering demonic beasts, who used to prey on humans, scream in agony amidst the sea of ​​fire, everyone felt as if the pent-up frustration that had been building up in their chests for countless years was finally released.

The Black Scale Demon King stood at the edge of the sea of ​​fire, watching his descendants turn to ashes in droves. His vertical pupils contracted to their limit, and the black scales all over his body exploded.

"You lowly two-legged sheep...you're asking for death!"

The Black Scale Demon King let out a deafening roar, opened its blood-red maw, and a bead the size of an infant's fist, emitting a thick, dark green poisonous mist, slowly rose up.

The moment the bead appeared, the surrounding air was instantly corroded, making a hissing sound.

Even the bluestone slabs on the ground began to turn black and dissolve.

"go!"

The Black Scale Demon King lashed out with its thick snake tail, and the Myriad Poison Pearl transformed into a green meteor, crashing fiercely into the light barrier of the Zhou Tian Fire Array.

"boom!"

The violent collision shook the entire valley.

On the crimson array's light screen, the area struck by the Myriad Poison Pearl instantly dimmed. The dark green poisonous mist, like a persistent leech, frantically devoured the array's spiritual power.

"Click—"

With a crisp crack, a spiderweb-like crack appeared on the seemingly indestructible light barrier of the Flame Array.

A wisp of foul-smelling green poisonous gas seeped quietly into the valley through the crack.

Behind a high bunker, a young man who was loading a bone spear inhaled a puff of poison gas.

His hand movements suddenly froze, and his face instantly turned a strange bluish-purple.

"Cough...cough cough..."

The man clutched his throat, vomiting mouthfuls of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, then collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing violently a few times before falling silent.

"Da Niu!" his companion exclaimed in surprise. He was about to help him up, but his legs gave way and he collapsed to his knees, black blood flowing from his nostrils.

Ah Shi's expression changed drastically, and he turned to shout down, "Sir! Poison gas has entered!"

Huang Chen stared at the increasingly large crack on the light screen.

We can't wait any longer; we must kill this old monster.

With a thought, he opened the system panel.

The previous wave of fire burned nearly a thousand low-level snake demons to death, and the karma value has skyrocketed to a terrifying number.

Current Karma Value: 25,000

"System, redeem the [Nine Nether Soul-Slaying Talisman]!"

[Ding! 20,000 Karma Points consumed. Nine Nether Soul-Slaying Talisman successfully exchanged and stored in system space.]

Huang Chen reached back and grabbed a talisman that was pitch black and emitted a chilling, eerie light in his palm.

He turned his head and looked at Ashi and the others who were struggling to hold on behind the bunker.

"Ashi, lead the men and retreat! Retreat to the inner valley!"

"My lord, then you..." Ashi gritted his teeth, gripping the bone spear tightly in his hand.

"Stop talking nonsense! Get inside!"

Huang Chen turned around and clenched his fist in his chest.

The cracks in the array's light barrier had widened to over a meter in height. Dark green poisonous mist poured in like a waterfall.

The Black Scale Demon King's ferocious snake face appeared outside the crack.

The next second, Huang Chen transformed into a raging, blood-red afterimage, fearlessly crashing through the array's light barrier against the overwhelming, bone-corroding, dark green poisonous mist that poured down from the sky!

The foul-smelling poisonous gas gnawed at the flesh, making a hissing sound that made your teeth ache.

Huang Chen suddenly clenched his fists tightly, his five fingers snapping shut! The Nine Nether Soul-Slaying Talisman was held firmly in his palm, transforming into a chilling dark light that instantly wrapped around his right fist.

The violent fist wind tore through the air, emitting a sharp and ear-piercing sonic boom, carrying an unstoppable determination, and slammed straight into the ferocious face of the Black Scale Demon King.

"You dare come here to die empty-handed?!"

A cruel sneer flashed in the Black Scale Demon King's vertical pupils. He let out a deafening roar, his thick arms bulging with veins, his black scales standing on end. The enormous steel fork in his hand, weighing thousands of pounds, swept upwards with a tidal wave of foul wind, determined to pierce this arrogant two-legged sheep into a bloody pulp.

The next instant, the tiny human iron fist and the huge steel demon fork collided violently in mid-air like two violent meteorites, without any fancy moves!
