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

At the heart of the ancient city of Chiwu, above the fire altar, the previously flickering flames suddenly froze. A murderous intent, hotter than the flames and deeper than the night, silently permeated every inch of the air.

The Demon Lord of Burning Feathers swept his crimson eyes around and was talking in hushed tones with the immortal envoy in tattered robes. His words were full of contempt for the core restrictions of this ancient city.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred!

"boom--!"

Not one, but four muffled, drum-like thuds, erupted simultaneously from the four corners of the altar!

The earth trembled violently, and a visible, earthy-yellow light shot into the sky, transforming into four blurry and ancient stele shadows that instantly connected to form a light curtain that separated heaven and earth.

Humanitarian Prison Monument!

The four marks that Huang Chen had secretly planted during his infiltration were detonated simultaneously at this moment!

"What is that?"

"!" The immortal envoy in the tattered robe changed his expression, flicked his whisk, and a beam of green light crashed into the light screen, but only caused a ripple before disappearing without a trace.

The laughter of the Burning Feather Demon Commander abruptly ceased, replaced by an offensive rage. He suddenly looked up, his gaze like two tangible flaming blades, slashing at a certain spot in the shadow of the fire altar.

There, a figure slowly emerged, his body radiating with aura, like a demon god emerging from the primordial chaos.

"Human race?"

"The voice of the Burning Feather Demon Commander was filled with surprise and disdain. "A mere ant at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm dares to play these lowly tricks in front of me?"

Huang Chen did not answer.

He simply raised his hand, and a phantom of a twelve-grade karmic fire lotus bloomed in his palm. The soft red light it emitted instantly enveloped the human laborers behind the fire altar, who had just been released from their cages and were still in a state of fear and confusion.

The fire of karma burns away sins, yet protects humanity.

All the humans enveloped by the crimson lotus radiance felt the scorching heat that almost dried up their souls subside, replaced by a warm feeling.

At the same time, an invisible domain suddenly expanded out from beneath Huang Chen's feet!

Pulsefire Battlefield!

The remaining flames of the entire fire altar, along with the fire spirit energy overflowing from the depths of the earth, seemed to have found a huge outlet, and frantically poured into Huang Chen's battle domain.

The brightness of the fire altar dimmed by three points at a speed visible to the naked eye.

To stabilize the formation, protect the people, and reverse the encroachment!

In just three breaths, Huang Chen transformed this core area, which was controlled by two top experts, into his own domain!

"court death!

'

The immortal envoy in the tattered robe was the first to lose his composure. As a cultivator, he valued his reputation above all else, and to be so openly humiliated by a junior human was an utter disgrace.

The magic disc in his hand shone brightly, and runes flowed, transforming into a thick light shield in front of him.

"Just a small matter..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Because Huang Chen moved.

With a powerful stomp of his Mountain and River Boots, he shot forward like an arrow, ignoring the distance between himself and the Burning Feather Demon Commander, and charged straight toward the nearby Immortal Envoy in Broken Robes.

Fast! Extremely fast!

The immortal envoy in the tattered robe's pupils suddenly contracted. He only saw a blur rushing towards him, and the incomparably fierce aura shattered his mind. He subconsciously poured all his magical power into his protective magic plate.

Huang Chen remained expressionless and simply threw a punch.

With the enhancement of the Pulse Fire Battle Domain, the power of the intermediate-level Witch Clan Battle Body was pushed to its peak.

A flash of dark golden witch runes appeared on the fist.

"Snap!"

'

A crisp sound rang out, so crisp it was almost jarring.

The protective magic disc that the tattered-robed immortal envoy was so proud of, a magic treasure powerful enough to withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator of the same level, shattered like thin ice under Huang Chen's fist.

Countless fragments, mixed with the disbelieving gaze of the immortal envoy, scattered and flew in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, the iron fist, still powerful, slammed heavily into his chest.

"puff--"

The immortal envoy in the tattered robe was struck as if by a giant hammer, flying backward with his ribs shattered. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining his tattered robe even redder. He crashed heavily into the light barrier formed by the Humanity Prison-Suppressing Monument, then slid softly to the ground, twitched a few times, and fell silent.

One punch!

With just one punch, a Celestial Immortal cultivator died on the spot!

The Demon Lord of Burning Feathers' pupils constricted sharply, and the contempt on his face vanished completely, replaced by a solemn expression. He finally understood that this human, who was at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, was definitely not an ant that could be manipulated at will.

"Good! What a clever human who pretends to be weak to deceive others!"

'

Enraged, the Demon Lord of Burning Feathers laughed, and flames surged around him, engulfing his entire body.

You've successfully angered me!

Today, your soul will be cast into the fire altar and burned for ten thousand years!

Before he finished speaking, his figure blurred, leaving a trail of flames behind him, and his true form appeared in front of Huang Chen.

He didn't use magic, but instead chose close combat. A blazing claw, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, aimed straight for Huang Chen's heart.

Huang Chen neither dodged nor avoided the punch, but met it head-on with his own.

"boom!

'

Fists and claws clashed, exploding in a blinding flash of fire. The shockwave rippled outwards, sending stones flying from the edge of the fire pit.

"boom!

'

Fists and claws clashed, exploding in a blinding flash of fire. The shockwave rippled outwards, sending stones flying from the edge of the fire pit.

Huang Chen swayed and took half a step back.

However, the Burning Feather Demon Commander did a somersault in mid-air before regaining his balance.

He looked down at his claws and saw a crack on them.

"Your physical body..." The Flying Feather Demon Commander's eyes were filled with horror.

He was an ancient firebird, and his physical strength was among the best in the demon race. Yet now he had suffered a hidden loss at the hands of a human in the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

"roar!

'

The Burning Feather Demon Command was no longer preserved. It let out a long cry that pierced through gold and shattered stone, and its body rapidly expanded and deformed in the flames.

The magnificent feathered robe was torn, revealing a huge demonic body covered in crimson feathers.

A pair of enormous, fiery wings, capable of blotting out the sky, suddenly unfurled, each flap whipping up a scorching gale. His head transformed into a ferocious bird's head, its golden pupils burning with destructive fury.

Burning Feather Demon Commander, reveal your demonic form!

"die!

'

In his demon form, the Burning Feather Demon Commander's speed and strength increased several times over. With a flap of his wings, countless burning fire feathers rained down on Huang Chen.

Huang Chen snorted coldly, advancing instead of retreating, charging forward against the rain of fire. The fiery feathers struck him, scattering sparks, but they couldn't even penetrate his skin.

Using the momentum from his Mountain and River Boots, he stepped onto the edge of the fire altar and leaped high into the air like a cannonball, heading straight for the Burning Feather Demon Lord's true form.

Upon seeing this, a cruel smile flashed in the eyes of the Burning Feather Demon Commander.

This is the opportunity he's been waiting for.

His massive right wing suddenly retracted, and when he slashed out again, all the flames condensed into a single line, transforming into a dark red fire feather slash that was over ten feet long, as if it could cleave the sky in two!

This strike was incredibly fast and incredibly ruthless!

Huang Chen was in mid-air, with nowhere to hide.

His eyes narrowed, and instead of blocking, he forcefully shifted his body to the side, using his left shoulder to meet the fiery feather slash.

"Sizzle—"

The sound of flesh being burned and cut rang out.

The Fire Feather Slash struck Huang Chen squarely in the shoulder, instantly tearing through his flesh to the bone. The charred flesh was exposed, and the intense pain shot straight to his soul.

However, Huang Chen's face showed no sign of pain; instead, a ferocious glint flashed across it.

He endured this heavy blow in order to gain a fleeting opportunity to get close!

"I want your wings!"

Using the immense power transmitted from the Fire Feather Slash, Huang Chen's body was "pushed" in front of the Burning Feather Demon Commander.

His undamaged right hand, like an iron clamp, gripped the huge fire wing that the opponent had just slashed out and had not yet fully retracted!

For the first time, a look of terror appeared in the golden pupils of the Burning Feather Demon Commander.

"You dare!"

He frantically flapped his other wing, trying to break free.

But it was too late.

"open!

'

Huang Chen let out a beast-like growl, his arm muscles bulged, veins popped out, and all his strength exploded at this moment.

"Rip—!"

'

A deafeningly loud bang.

Amidst the incredulous screams of the Burning Feather Demon Commander, Huang Chen ripped half of his magnificent and powerful fire wing, along with large chunks of flesh and bone, right off him!

Fiery feathers and scalding demon blood exploded together, like a torrential rain of blood.

"Aaaaaahh ...

'

The Burning Feather Demon Lord let out a roar of extreme pain, its massive body losing its balance and crashing heavily from mid-air onto the fire altar, creating a large crater in the hard ground.

At that moment, a cold notification sound from the system rang in Huang Chen's mind.

【Ding! The main quest 【Seize the initiative in the Chiwu Ancient City Ruins】 has been completed. Condition (1): Enter the core area of ​​the Chiwu Ancient City Ruins.

】

【Ding! Completion condition (3): Rescue the human laborers trapped in the ruins.】

】

[Hint: Condition (2): Obtaining the Main Array Pivot Seal is not yet complete.]

Huang Chen casually tossed the half of the still-burning giant fire wing aside and focused his gaze on the center of the fire altar.

There, due to the spilled demon blood of the Burning Feather Demon King and the severe injury to its master, several huge nails deeply embedded in the ground were trembling slightly, and the spiritual light on them was rapidly dimming.

Fire-suppressing nails!

It's now!

Despite the excruciating pain in his left shoulder, Huang Chen flashed to the center of the fire altar.

He spotted one of the fire-suppressing nails, clenched his right hand into a claw, grabbed the nail head, and pulled it upwards with a sudden jerk!

"Buzz—!"

'

As the fire-suppressing nail was pulled out, the entire fire altar trembled violently. Deep underground, it seemed as if some colossal creature, dormant for millennia, was awakening.

Upon seeing this, the Demon Commander of Burning Feathers, disregarding the excruciating pain of his severed wing, roared in horror, "Stop! You will awaken..."

Huang Chen ignored him and pulled out all the remaining fire-suppressing nails.

The moment the last fire-suppressing nail left the ground, the entire ancient city of Chiwu emitted a long, resounding roar.

Suddenly, the ground in the center of the fire altar cracked open, and a beam of golden light as intense as the sun shot into the sky.

At the center of the golden light, a palm-sized, pure gold seal, engraved with countless ancient golden crow patterns, slowly emerged.

"Clang... clang... clang..."

The sound of armor rubbing against each other echoed from all directions of the ancient city.

In the dark ruins, a pair of empty eye sockets lit up with eerie soul flames.

One by one, skeletal figures clad in tattered ancient armor and wielding broken weapons crawled out from underground, emerged from behind broken walls, and stood up from barracks that had been sealed for millennia.

The ancient city of Jinwu guards the remnants of its spirit!

They have no life, no emotions, only an eternal obsession with protecting this ancient city.

Any entity that attempts to seize the seal is their enemy.

Hundreds and thousands of lingering spirits converged into a gray-white wave of death, silently and resolutely surging towards the altar of fire.

Just as Huang Chen's palm was about to touch the scorching seal.

A cold, indifferent shout suddenly came from the heavens, the voice seemingly resounding directly in Huang Chen's soul, carrying an undeniable majesty.

"Human, lay down what does not belong to you, and I will grant you a complete corpse."

Master Xuan Yao!

At the same time, in Huang Chen's arms, a warning stone talisman he had obtained from Xin He was also vibrating wildly, with scorching cracks appearing on its surface, conveying the most urgent alarm!

Huang Chen's hand stopped just a hair's breadth away from the main array's pivot seal.

He looked up at the sky, then glanced down at the stone talisman in his arms that was about to shatter.

Before him lay the seal of office, within easy reach.

Behind him was the Burning Feather Demon Commander, howling in agony.

He was surrounded by a tidal wave of undead remnants.

Above his head, a powerful figure from the Xuantian Sect was remotely locking onto him.

In his distant land, allies are facing unforeseen crises.

Huang Chen's lips slowly parted into a menacing arc.

Ignoring the severe injury to his shoulder and all the threats, he pressed his palm heavily onto the scorching hot main array seal.
