Primordial Era: The Great Emperor Ziwei! Lord of the Celestial Stars!

Chapter 5: The Final Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts! Shen Ni Challenges All Heroes of Heaven and Earth!

In the primordial wilderness, at the Buzhou Mountains

Beneath the towering peak lies not a vast plain, but an ancient mountain range stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, with countless towering mountains, flowing rivers, and lush green forests.

It is also a place where even the divine rebels and ferocious beasts dare not be too reckless.

Since the beginning of time, the oppressive power of Pangu still lingers. Not to mention climbing Buzhou Mountain, even the surrounding mountains for thousands of miles are not places that ordinary people can set foot in. Only those who have reached the Great Luo Perfection are qualified to glimpse his divine appearance.

Yang Mei and Shi Chen, reincarnations of Chaos, reside beneath the solitary peak of Buzhou Mountain, within a radius of ten thousand miles.

This place is not only rich in spiritual energy and the laws of the Great Dao are clearly manifested, but it also allows one to temper their body with the pressure of Pangu and avoid the intrusion of people like Shen Ni.

It can be described as a rare and exceptional blessed land during a time of great calamity caused by ferocious beasts!

Hongjun and Luohou returned from the outer space and went straight to this place, hoping to get their help.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, Fellow Daoist Shi Chen, the world is in constant chaos. Shen Ni is leading a clan of ferocious beasts to slaughter all living beings. His crimes are heinous and cannot be tolerated by the laws of Heaven."

"In order to be able to..."

Yang Mei looked at Hongjun, who was chattering on and on, trying to get them to do their work for nothing, and her eyes suddenly showed contempt and disdain.

He simply waved his sleeve to stop him from continuing.

"Hongjun, we're all foxes who've been around for a thousand years, who doesn't know what the other is thinking?"

"It's disgusting how much nonsense you spout."

"It's one thing to not want to contribute anything, but to expect us to help you for free without taking any benefit in return is truly shameless and disgusting."

Shi Chen also gave a cold snort, clearly annoyed.

He was in seclusion, cultivating his skills, and didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs of the outside world.

However, unable to withstand Hongjun's barrage of words, he was forced to come out of his cave to meet him.

But what he never expected was...

The other party is so shameless, trying to fool them with empty words.

As expected of someone from the chaotic era, he single-handedly used his power to morally blackmail most of the chaotic demons, tricking them into going to Pangu to die as a celestial demon.

This desire to have it all without wanting to pay the price is truly shameless.

If it were him, he wouldn't let anyone have given up for nothing.

Even if it comes to paying a small price to persuade someone to do a big favor, it takes a lot of hesitation before daring to speak up.

"Let's speak frankly."

"If you want our help, that's not impossible."

"But you should at least show some sincerity."

"If you still want to rely on empty words and talk, then please go back to where you came from."

As soon as Shichen finished speaking, he stared at Hongjun and Luohou for several breaths without saying a word.

I immediately didn't want to waste another word with him.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, I must return to my seclusion. You two continue your conversation; I will not keep you company any longer."

Having said that, he prepared to turn and leave.

"Fellow Daoist Shichen, please wait. It's not that I don't want to make the effort, it's just that I simply don't have the ability right now."

"Besides the auspicious clouds of the heavens, there is nothing else on his body."

As Hongjun turned to leave, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only relinquish a portion of his profits.

"Why don't you name some conditions? As long as they're reasonable, I'll agree to them. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Chen's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and he no longer made any move to leave.

"Since you've already spoken, I naturally won't go too far."

"After you kill Shenni and exterminate the ferocious beast clan, I will take 20% of the merit you two gain."

Before Hongjun could even think, Yang Mei's voice rang out.

"I don't want much."

"In return, if you give me 20% of the merit you have gained, I will agree to go with you to punish Shenni. What do you say?"

Hearing Yang Mei and Shi Chen's demands, Hongjun and Luo Hou couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and helplessness.

The anger stemmed from the exorbitant demands made by the two individuals.

If each person takes 20%, that's 40%.

If it wasn't the two of them who ultimately killed Shenni, then the merit gained from this great calamity of ferocious beasts would be reduced by at least half.

Add to that the share given to Shichen and Yangmei, and it's practically like they're working for free!

Unfortunately, it was because the Beast Emperor's divine power and strength were too extraordinary.

Not only was its physical body formed from the resentment, pure killing intent, and broken corpses of the three thousand demon gods before their fall.

Even its soul was formed by combining the consciousness of the Destruction God with the consciousness of the Death, Battle, and Slaughter Gods.

Now, as the primordial world is constantly being destroyed by the ferocious beast race, its fortune is being continuously taken away by them.

This caused Shen Ni's strength to reach the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, almost breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm.

If Shichen and Yang Mei were missing, the two would be at the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level.

With just the two of them, along with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, five early-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortals, plus a bunch of Great Luo Perfection Innate Saints and Demon God Reincarnations, they were formidable opponents.

Let alone defeating the rebellious gods and the ferocious beasts, they are still far from being able to contend with even an evenly matched force.

After all, the paths cultivated by Hongjun and Luohou were the demonic path and the immortal path, respectively, both of which were more about preaching than actual combat.

Furthermore, Luo Hou at least possessed the Four Swords of Zhuxian and cultivated the laws of destruction and slaughter.

Hongjun, having been reincarnated as the first centipede in the world, not only had the worst background among all the chaotic demon gods, but his only innate treasure was the Zhutian Qingyun.

He's good enough at defense, but when it comes to offensive capabilities, he can't even match the reincarnations of other demon gods.

As for why the two were able to survive to the end and compete for the future lineage of the primordial world.

It was entirely due to Rahu's scheming ability and Hongjun's perfected Dao of Deception.

Otherwise, given that neither of their cultivation paths in their past or present lives were among the Ten Supreme Paths,

The choice of which future lineage would be decided in the primordial world was something neither of them had the right to know.

"Your conditions are too demanding."

"We can only grant each of you one and a half percent of the merit."

After hesitating for a moment, Hongjun and the other man finally decided to agree.

If it's dry, at least there's some left; if it's not dry, there's not a drop left.

However, before agreeing, we still need to haggle a bit.

After all, every little bit saved is a good thing.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

They absolutely cannot be taken advantage of!

"If you insist on..."

However, to Hongjun and the other two's surprise, Yangmei and the other two never wanted 20%, and their bottom line was 10%.

Now that they've directly offered 15% of the bid, how could they possibly refuse?

They immediately agreed in unison.

"make a deal!"

"We two will follow your orders in this campaign against Shenni. We hope you will pay close attention."

Seeing the two's decisive manner, Hongjun and Luohou were dumbfounded.

Despite all my careful planning, I never expected that I would still be tricked by the two of them.

It's all that bastard Di Tian's fault. If he hadn't stubbornly refused to come, they wouldn't have had to trade what they had gained.

"If it's only 15%, then it's 15%. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

"But all of this depends on the fact that we are the ones who ultimately kill Shenni."

"Otherwise, we can only grant you one-tenth of the merit!"

The words that are spoken, the water that is poured out.

Since the damage was already done, Hongjun and Luohou exchanged a glance and then stated their bottom line.

"That's certainly not a problem."

Even with numerous helpers, obtaining Shen Ni's head, a powerful figure about to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm, would be quite dangerous.

Yang Mei and Shi Chen have already gained enough; there is absolutely no need for them to risk their lives to try and steal the credit for killing Shen Ni.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

The four of them then swore an oath to the Great Dao, establishing a contract for their previous transaction.

He then left Buzhou Mountain and went to the outside of Beast Emperor Mountain to meet with the ancestors of the three races, as well as the innate saints and reincarnations of demon gods he had recruited.

……

Sunrise and sunset, time flies like an arrow.

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Hongjun and the others arrived outside Beast Emperor Mountain and soon met Yuanfeng, Zulong, Shiqilin, Yinyang, Qiankun and other innate saints and reincarnated demon gods who participated in the crusade against Shenni.

Because the divine rebellion has gathered more and more fortune, it has already reached the perfection of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm. If it is not removed, it will surely step into the Hunyuan Daluo realm.

At that time, no one will be able to kill him, and the primordial world will completely fall into his hands.

The three clan ancestors saw that everyone had arrived.

To avoid any unforeseen complications or uncontrollable accidents.

He immediately notified his clansmen scattered throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, leading his affiliated races to wage a full-scale war against the ferocious beast race.

In an instant, the primordial world was engulfed in endless war.

Apart from Mount Buzhou, the Northern Sea, and the far west, and a few other places that are of no value or inaccessible.

Everywhere you look, you can see the myriad races of the primordial world and the ferocious beast race, engaged in a frenzied battle.

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and countless floating pagodas stretching for miles, are insufficient to describe the horrific scene before me.

Even the most filthy place in the primordial wilderness, the Boundless Blood Sea, appeared much more pristine at this moment!

"I hereby inform the Beast King that all the races of the primordial world have gone mad and launched attacks on our clansmen who are abroad."

"In just over a thousand years, the number of our people has decreased by more than 50%."

"Even if Lord Qiongqi and his people lead their clansmen to suppress and slaughter the creatures of our clan, it will be of no use."

"Instead, they were all killed by several unidentified Taoist priests, leaving only Lord Qiongqi, a wretched and defeated man..."

On Beast King Mountain, Shen Ni leaned against the skeletal throne, listening to his subordinates' reports, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

With a single, gentle wave of his hand, he pierced and shattered a finger before slowly rising from his throne.

The most ferocious treasure of the Heavenly Dao, containing forty-nine innate restrictions and possessing complete laws of destruction and slaughter, the God-Slaying Spear, which can injure even a Chaos Grand Luo Immortal and kill even a Saint Supreme when unleashed at full power, was pulled from the ground.

It flew straight into the highest heavens, shouting coldly at the surrounding world.

"They're nothing but a bunch of despicable scoundrels who only know how to use underhanded tricks."

"What kind of skill is it to bully foreigners like me!"

"I am right here. If you have the guts, come and kill me!"
