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

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the depths of the passage. A foul stench filled the air.

Several gaunt figures darted into the main cave. They were jackal demons.

They carried rusty iron knives in their hands, and their mouths were stained with thick human blood.

"Your Majesty! There are outside—" The leader of the jackal demons abruptly stopped speaking.

Because it saw the headless tiger carcass on the ground.

That massive body, as large as a small mountain, was now soaking in a pool of blood.

The three jackal demons were completely stiff.

The iron knife in his hand clattered to the ground.

Huang Chen stood beside the corpse.

Covered in blood, he resembled a demon crawling out of the deepest hell. His tattered black iron gauntlets were still dripping with the Black Tiger Demon General's brain matter.

"Run!" the lead jackal demon screamed in agony.

The three monsters turned and fled. They tumbled and crawled, their hearts pounding with fear.

Huang Chen's eyes were icy cold. If the weeds aren't nipped in the bud, there will be endless troubles in the future.

His blood and qi surged, and he forcefully suppressed the excruciating pain in his internal organs as he exerted force with both legs. The bluestone ground shattered.

His entire body transformed into a blood-red afterimage, instantly rushing into the passage.

"Pfft!"

Huang Chen caught up with the last jackal demon.

The black iron gauntlet struck the jackal demon in the back.

The sound of bones shattering rang out, and a large hole exploded in the jackal's chest.

Internal organs mixed with fresh blood sprayed all over the ground.

The remaining two jackal demons were so frightened that they defecated and urinated. They ran for their lives on all fours.

Using the corpses on the ground for leverage, Huang Chen leaped up again and grabbed the jackal demon on his left by the scruff of its neck. He exerted force with all five fingers.

"Crack." The neck was broken.

The last jackal demon knelt down with a thud.

"Spare me! Grandpa, spare me! I'll never eat people again!" The jackal demon kowtowed frantically, the ground pounding with each thud.

Huang Chen stepped forward and stomped on its head, crushing it.

Red and white substances splattered on the stone wall. The passage fell completely silent.

[Ding! Three Qi Refining stage jackal demons have been killed.]

[Strip the target of their life, gain 30 karma points!]

A system notification sound flashed.

Huang Chen shook off the bloodstains on his gauntlets and turned to walk towards the dungeon deep within the demon cave.

The dungeon was dark and damp. A nauseating stench permeated the air.

Dozens of ragged humans huddled in a corner, shivering.

Huang Chen walked up to the cage made of refined iron and raised his right fist.

"boom!"

The sturdy iron fence was smashed through.

The people inside the cell screamed in terror.

"Shut up," Huang Chen said in a hoarse voice. "The Black Tiger Demon General is dead."

In the crowd, the thin boy raised his head.

By the dim light of the fire, Ashi was able to see Huang Chen's face clearly.

And his clothes were soaked in blood.

"My benefactor..." Ashi's eyes were red-rimmed, and he knelt down with a thud. "You killed that beast?"

An elderly human man stood up shakily, tears streaming down his face.

"Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!"

The old man knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

The fifty-odd surviving humans behind him all knelt down in unison.

The cries were deafening.

【Ding! 】

[The host rescues fifty pure-blooded humans, protecting their kind!]

[The God-level Merit Slaughter System has completed its assessment.]

[Congratulations, host! You have gained a huge amount of merit points: 50000!]

"Get up!" Huang Chen shouted coldly.

The stench of blood from the demon's lair will attract other powerful demons. Leave immediately.

Ashi quickly got up, wiped away his tears, and went to help the old man.

"My benefactor, where do we run to?" Ashi's voice trembled.

"Follow me." Huang Chen turned and walked towards the storeroom of the demon cave.

He kicked open the heavy wooden door, and a musty smell of metal, cloth, and herbs wafted out. This was clearly a place where the demon race stockpiled their spoils of war; all sorts of looted supplies were piled up like mountains, and jewels and jade artifacts were mixed together with mortal clothing in a chaotic mess.

Huang Chen ignored the glittering gold and silver, his eyes flashing like lightning. He walked straight to a few wooden boxes in the corner that emitted a faint spiritual energy, smashed the lock with a punch, and dozens of bottles and jars of different materials came into view.

He picked up a jade bottle, uncorked it, and a pure medicinal power accompanied by a rich spiritual aura wafted out. It was a Qi-replenishing pill, used to restore qi, blood, and magical power.

He then picked up another white porcelain bottle. The bottle was slightly cool to the touch, and the pills inside emitted a faint sense of vitality. It was a healing pill called the Rejuvenation Pill.

Finally, his gaze fell on an inconspicuous coarse cloth bag. He tore open the bag, and a dry fragrance similar to roasted grains wafted out. The pills had almost no spiritual energy fluctuations; they were the fasting pills meant to feed mortals or low-level cultivators.

When fleeing with this group of mortals, the elixir of immortality is a necessity.

With a thought, he swept more than a dozen bottles of Replenishing Essence Pills, Rejuvenation Pills, and a large bag of Abstinence Pills into his storage bag. The whole process was smooth and quick, taking only a few breaths.

When fleeing with this group of mortals, the elixir of immortality is a necessity.

"Distribute these." Huang Chen tossed a bag of fasting pills to A Shi.

One for each person, and we'll set off immediately after finishing.

Ah Shi hurriedly caught the bag.

Yes! My benefactor!

Huang Chen grabbed a torch from the wall and threw it into a corner piled with hay and animal hides.

Flames instantly leaped up. Fueled by the wind, the fire quickly spread throughout the entire demon's lair.

"Let's go." Huang Chen strode out of the cave.

Ashi and the others followed closely behind him.

The night was dark.

A cold wind howled across the wilderness.

The towering flames burned behind them, turning half the night sky crimson.

Huang Chen walked at the front, his expression cold and stern.

The group moved swiftly through the darkness. No one dared to speak; only the heavy footsteps and panting could be heard.

Three hours later.

The group fled into a secluded valley dozens of miles away.

The deep valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, overgrown with weeds. The night wind is chilly.

"Rest where you are," Huang Chen ordered.

The crowd collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Ashi held a leaf, collected some spring water, and walked up to Huang Chen.

"My benefactor, please have some water."

"Put it there." Huang Chen pointed to the stone next to him.

Ashi put down the water and retreated back into the crowd.

Huang Chen walked behind a boulder, sat down cross-legged, and took out two Qi-replenishing pills, which he swallowed.

The medicine worked its magic, repairing the torn muscles and damaged meridians.

Huang Chen exhaled a breath of stale air.

Open the storage bag and prepare to take inventory of the items.

Suddenly, in the corner of the storage bag, the great sect totem communication jade talisman that had been taken from the black-clad cultivator was shimmering faintly.

Huang Chen took the jade talisman in his hand.

The surface of the jade talisman was so hot it was almost burning to the touch. The intricate totem patterns seemed to come alive.

A fine crack spread across the center of the jade talisman.

The crimson light flickered, like a sinister heart beating in the palm of your hand.

At the center of the jade talisman, the tiny crack widened slightly with a "crack".

An ominous premonition gripped Huang Chen's mind.

He suddenly clenched his fists, and the broken black iron gauntlets creaked under the strain.

Huang Chen probed his storage bag with his divine sense and pulled out a rough stone box.

This was taken casually from the demon cave's storeroom; its material is unknown, but it can isolate one's aura.

Without hesitation, he threw the strange jade talisman into the stone box and slammed it shut.

The blood and heat were instantly isolated.

Huang Chen let out a long breath and threw the stone box into the deepest corner of his storage bag.

Now is not the time to deal with this.

Healing from injuries and improving one's strength are the keys to survival.

……

time flies.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

A few wisps of smoke rose from the hidden valley.

Under Ashi's organization, the fifty surviving humans used wood and vines from the mountains to build rows of simple but sheltering shelters from the wind and rain.

The children no longer cried all day long, their faces regained some color, and they could even chase and play in the open space.

The elders sat together, polishing simple tools and weapons with stones and pieces of wood.

Everything is going in a good direction.

But they all knew that this moment of peace was bought with the life of that taciturn man.

Inside a very secluded and dry cave.

Huang Chen sat cross-legged and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air that smelled of blood.

He raised his left arm, clenched his fist, and his knuckles cracked.

The broken arm bone has completely healed, but the meridians are still a little sluggish.

The regenerative power of the rudimentary witch race battle body is simply terrifying.

In just three days, the injuries that could have crippled the patient have recovered by 70-80%.

"It's time to take stock of the harvest."

With a thought, Huang Chen saw a dark blue light screen unfold before his eyes.

[Host: Huang Chen]

[Realm: Mortal (Primary Witch Clan Battle Body - Incomplete)]

Merit Points: 50000

Karma Value: 12800

[Supernatural Power: Concealing Breath]

A full 50,000 merit points!

In this dark age where human life is as worthless as grass, every opportunity to enhance one's strength must be seized.

"System, activate the merit lottery wheel."

[Ding! Host has been detected to have 50000 merit points, meeting the requirements to unlock the Gold-level lottery.]

[Would you like to spend 50000 merit points for a Gold-level lottery draw?]

"yes!"

Huang Chen did not hesitate at all.

The light screen in front of me changed instantly, and a huge and magnificent golden wheel appeared.

The roulette wheel is divided into hundreds of sections, each flowing with a different precious light.

Some were cultivation techniques and secret manuals, some were divine weapons and powerful artifacts, some were spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and some even flashed by with powerful bloodline totems.

The gold-level lottery is truly extraordinary.

"start!"

At Huang Chen's command, the golden wheel began to spin wildly.

The phantom images of countless treasures merged into a dazzling band of light, making one's eyes dazzled.

Huang Chen's breath caught in his throat, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

After an unknown amount of time, the roulette wheel gradually slowed down.

The pointer swept across one tempting award after another.

[Supernatural Power: Law of Heaven and Earth (Fragment)]...Passed by.

[Fragment of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure: Fragment of the Chaos Bell]... It brushed past again.

[Nine-Turn Golden Elixir x1]...I still wiped it off!

Huang Chen's heart was in his throat.

Finally, the pointer came to a trembling stop in an area that was shimmering with a dark red glow.

In that area, a palm-sized, twelve-petaled lotus platform made of flames floated in the air.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a flawed acquired spiritual treasure: Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus (Imitation)!]

The roulette wheel disappeared, and an exquisitely beautiful blood-red lotus platform appeared out of thin air, silently floating in front of Huang Chen.

It seemed not to be a physical entity, but rather formed from the purest karmic fire, its lotus petals opening and closing, emanating a terrifying aura that could incinerate all things.

Lines of small golden characters appeared below the lotus platform.

【Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus (Imitation)】

[Rank: Acquired Spiritual Treasure (Incomplete)]

[Origin: This is a replica of the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus, a companion treasure of the Styx Ancestor. Although it is a replica, it possesses countless wondrous uses.]

[Ability: Karmic Fire Protection. It can actively absorb the host's accumulated karma and convert it into a karmic fire shield.]

The more karma you absorb, the stronger your shield becomes.

A surge of ecstasy welled up in Huang Chen's heart. He had slain sinful beings and gained karmic power.

And this red lotus can transform karma into the strongest defense!

The more he kills, the deeper his karma becomes, and the more impenetrable his defenses become!

This is practically a life-saving treasure tailor-made for me!

With this defensive artifact, survivability will experience a qualitative leap.

Huang Chen stretched out his hand, and the karmic fire lotus lightly fell into his palm, then transformed into a red mark, imprinted on the back of his hand, and slowly disappeared.

A feeling of blood connection arose spontaneously.

Suppressing his excitement, Huang Chen's gaze returned to the system panel.

Merit points have been reset to zero.

But the karma value is still 12,800 points.

"System, open the store."

The screen switched, revealing a dazzling array of products.

Huang Chen directly selected pills.

His current Wu Clan battle body is a bottomless pit, requiring a massive amount of blood and energy to fill it.

[Qi and Blood Pill (Low Grade): 10 Karma Points/pill]

[Replenishing Essence Pill (Intermediate): 100 Karma Points/pill]

【Dragon-Tiger Bone Forging Pill (Advanced): 1000 Karma Points/pill】

"Exchange for ten Dragon Tiger Bone Forging Pills, and exchange the rest for Qi Replenishing Pills."

[Ding! Consumed 10000 Karma Points to exchange for 10 Dragon-Tiger Bone Forging Pills.]

[Ding! Consumed 2800 Karma Points, exchanged for 28 Replenishing Pills.]

A pile of jade bottles appeared out of thin air on the cave floor.

Huang Chen put all the pills into his storage bag, feeling much more at ease.

With this batch of pills, my strength can reach another level.

Just as he was about to take out the pills and continue his cultivation.

A sudden change has occurred!

Om-!

! !

Deep inside the storage bag, the stone box containing the communication jade talisman suddenly emitted a loud buzzing sound!

The next second, a muffled "bang" was heard!

The sturdy stone box was shattered from the inside by a terrifying force!

A blindingly nauseating crimson light suddenly burst forth from the storage bag!

The communication jade talisman shot into the sky, hovering in mid-air above the cave, spinning wildly!

The cracks on the surface of the jade talisman were all over it, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Blood-red runes emerged from the cracks, like venomous snakes, intertwining in the air to form a ferocious ancient seal character – "Xuan"!

A cold, arrogant divine thought, which regarded all things as ants, pierced Huang Chen's mind like a red-hot steel needle!

"Found you..."

His voice was devoid of any emotion, like the cold ice of the deepest hell.

Immediately afterwards, a roar filled with endless killing intent exploded in Huang Chen's mental world!

"Anyone who dares to kill a disciple of my Xuantian Sect, whether human or demon, will be hunted down to the ends of the earth and have their soul extracted and refined!"

boom!

Huang Chen was struck dumb, his mind went blank, and his face turned deathly pale.

This is not just a sound! It is a divine thought impact imbued with the will of immortals!

The floating character "玄" suddenly lit up, transforming into a three-inch-long blood-red sword phantom, its tip locked onto Huang Chen's brow.

The karmic fire red lotus mark that had just disappeared on the back of Huang Chen's hand suddenly lit up again!

The crimson sword emitted a sharp sword cry, transforming into a streak of blood that shot towards Huang Chen's forehead!

Huang Chen felt every hair on his body stand on end, and a chilling sense of death shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.

There's no escaping it! This divine mark has already locked down his vital energy!

At this critical moment, the mark of the twelfth-grade karmic fire red lotus on the back of his hand suddenly burst out with an eerie red light!

Om-!

A phantom blood-red lotus flower appeared out of thin air and blocked Huang Chen's forehead.

The crimson sword struck the lotus, but instead of producing a deafening roar, it felt like a red-hot iron being branded into ice and snow.

"Sizzle—!"

A piercing melting sound rang out, and the crimson sword disintegrated inch by inch, turning into wisps of green smoke.

But the illusory image of the karmic fire lotus also dimmed and shrank back into Huang Chen's hand.

"puff!"

Huang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and his face turned ashen.

The clash of divine thoughts is more dangerous than a physical battle.

Although he blocked the fatal blow, the will of the Immortal Sect expert still shook him to the point of shattering his soul.

"Xuantian Sect..."

Huang Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold.
