Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 122 Venomous Aura
The colossal hand, woven from the five elements and the laws of cause and effect, hovered silently in mid-air.

In his palm, several ancient demons, including the Taiyi Demon Lord Heilin, were already terrified and their souls were about to die!

Their powerful demonic bodies, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, were firmly imprisoned by the ever-revolving power of the Five Elements.

His primordial spirit and Dao fruit were completely locked by that mysterious and profound power of cause and effect, making even self-destruction a luxury!
"Senior...Senior, spare your life!"

"We beg you, senior, to spare our lives for the sake of our demon race's Heavenly Court!"

The fear of death finally and completely enveloped their minds at this moment.

The Black Scale Demon Lord had completely lost all of his previous arrogance and ruthlessness.

They attempted to use the prestige of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court to exchange for that faint glimmer of hope.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, Ma Yuan's figure remained unseen.

He simply and calmly swept his gaze over the several powerful demons captured in his palm.

The thread of cause and effect flowed clearly through his eyes.

He could clearly see that these powerful demons had committed numerous evils and were burdened with countless murders.

However, he did not have any significant karmic connection with powerful sorcerers or the lineage of saints.

The thickest causal threads on its body are merely connections to ordinary demon gods.

It did not reach the level of top-tier experts such as the Demon Master Kunpeng or the Demon Emperor Dijun.

Ma Yuan was too lazy to waste any more words on these ants who were destined to turn to ashes in the great calamity.

He simply gently grasped the five-colored giant hand that was holding the demons.

"what--!"

A piercing scream instantly echoed throughout the entire valley!

Those few Golden Immortal demons who were usually infamous and ruthless, along with the Black Scale Demon Lord who had already entered the Taiyi realm.

At this moment, their primordial spirit and Dao fruit were completely crushed into dust in that five-colored giant hand!
The true spirit is gone, leaving only a few demonic bodies which Ma Yuan collected into the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

After doing all this, Ma Yuan had another thought.

That hand of cause and effect, already wielded with practiced ease, gently swept across the void.

They had completely erased all causal connections between these demons and this world, leaving no trace.

From then on, all traces of these demons' existence in this world were completely erased, as if they had never existed.

Within the valley, the timeless tranquility returned once more.

Only the Flower Fairy, who was already severely injured, remained.

At this moment, she was staring up at the empty sky in shock, her beautiful face filled with disbelief and horror.

In the blink of an eye, several Golden Immortal demons, and even a Taiyi Golden Immortal, were reduced to ashes!

This is at least a powerful being from the primordial era at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm or even the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

Just as she was feeling agitated and at a loss.

The purplish-red gourd fragment, which lay quietly in the center of the valley, radiating a hazy, precious light, suddenly flashed with brilliance without warning.

It transformed into a streak of light and flew straight into the void.

A hand reached out from the void.

He easily grasped the fragment in his palm.

Ma Yuan's figure also slowly appeared in the void.

He stood calmly on the clouds, shrouded in mist.

A flowing blue robe billowed in the wind, his aura as profound as the sea, as if he were one with the entire world. The treasure felt warm to the touch, its surface imbued with the natural essence of Dao.

However, just as Ma Yuan's divine sense was about to sink into it and explore its origin,

Mutations reborn!

The seemingly calm gourd fragment suddenly erupted without warning with a terrifying aura filled with endless resentment and unwillingness!

The intensity and purity of that resentment far surpassed anything Ma Yuan had ever seen in his life!
It also contained a trace of terrifying will belonging to a quasi-saint, an indestructible force!
"Kunpeng! Styx! I, this humble Daoist, will fight you to the death!!!"

A roar filled with resentment and anger suddenly exploded in Ma Yuan's mind!
Even with Ma Yuan's already perfected Taiyi Dao Heart, he was still affected by this resentment.

A sharp pain emanated from his primordial spirit!

"Oh no! It's the lingering resentment of Hongyun's soul!"

Ma Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he instantly understood.

He never imagined that this small fragment would still contain a trace of the most primordial resentment of the Red Cloud Ancestor before his fall!

How terrifying is a quasi-saint's power?
The resentment he unleashed before his death was enough to make any Great Luo Golden Immortal lose his Dao heart and go astray!

Before Ma Yuan could activate his already perfected Five Elements Daoist technique to forcibly suppress this resentment...

That incredibly violent resentment surged wildly into his body through his arm!
However, just as that resentment was about to completely erupt in Ma Yuan's Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness, at the very last moment...

"Om-!"

The purple-blue gourd, which had long been connected with Ma Yuan's heart, shone brightly at this moment!

It actually flew out from beside Ma Yuan's Dao Fruit on its own initiative, meeting the terrifying resentment belonging to the Red Cloud Ancestor!

The moment the red cloud of resentment came into contact with the purple-blue gourd, it was completely drawn towards it!

The resentful and poisonous aura on it, which was enough to pollute the Great Luo Primordial Spirit, was rapidly dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye under the influence of the original Daoist rhyme of the Purple-Blue Gourd!
At that moment, the light of the fragment of the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd also faded completely.

It transformed into the purest primordial imprint, merging entirely into the already dried-up primordial essence of the purple-blue gourd, leaving no trace whatsoever.

By the time Ma Yuan regained his senses, the crisis that had been so difficult for him had already vanished without a trace.

This scene was also witnessed by the Flower Fairy not far away.

A hint of surprise flashed in her clear, watery eyes, but she dared not say anything more.

She composed herself, slowly stepped forward, and respectfully performed a deep curtsy to Ma Yuan:
"Thank you for saving my life, senior. I am Baihua from West Kunlun. May I ask your honorable title?"

"I am Ma Yuan, a humble Taoist priest from the mountains."

Ma Yuan spoke slowly.

Since the lesson learned from the Phoenix Clan, Ma Yuan has never again been willing to easily expose the true nature of Skull Mountain.

Upon hearing this, the Flower Fairy dared not ask any further questions.

She looked down to check her injuries, and a bitter expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Fine black lines appeared on her once smooth and jade-like arms.

A stream of filthy and corrosive aura was constantly eroding the essence of her immortal body.

"The Black Scale Demon Lord's Xuan Sha Black Water has already invaded my essence. If it is not cleansed by the holy water of my sect, it will probably leave permanent Dao wounds..."

Now that the great war of the primordial era has just ended, demons and monsters are everywhere. I am seriously injured, and it would be extremely dangerous for me to return to the distant West Kunlun alone.

She gritted her teeth and made a decision in an instant.

She bowed deeply to Ma Yuan once more, and said earnestly in her voice:
"Senior Ma Yuan, my injuries are severe, and I am unable to return to my sect alone."

I humbly beg your mercy, senior, to escort me on my journey back to West Kunlun. My master, the Queen Mother of the West, will surely repay you handsomely!
