Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 185 Martial Ancestor Battles Yingzhao

On the banks of the Wei River, in just a few short days.

A majestic city, towering tens of thousands of feet high and stretching for countless miles from east to west, has risen from the ground on this vast riverside plain!

The city walls are devoid of any ornate carvings, bearing only martial arts totems inscribed with the blood and essence of countless human warriors.

This city has no name.

However, from the day it was completed, it was destined to become a blood-red cloud hanging over the heads of all demons, a cloud that could not be dispelled.

And just as the mighty city fell!

Rumble—!!!!!!!!!

The western sky, which had been clear and cloudless for thousands of miles, suddenly darkened without warning!

Endless, pitch-black, rolling demonic clouds, carrying a terrifying aura that could make all living beings tremble, swept wildly from the distant horizon!

Wherever the demonic clouds went, the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light!
Even the mighty Wei River, which never ceases to flow, let out a painful cry of unbearable pressure under this terrifying force, and stirred up a hundred-foot-high raging torrent!
"The demon race... has arrived!"

On the city wall, the Martial Dao True Monarch 'Li', whose figure was as burly as an iron tower, slowly raised his head.

His calm, still eyes reflected the endless demonic clouds that were pressing down with devastating force.

Instead of fear, his face radiated an overwhelming fighting spirit!

"Pass on my orders!"

His roar, filled with boundless majesty, resounded throughout the entire magnificent city!
"Form ranks! Prepare for battle!"

"Roar--!!!!!"

The voice falls!

On the city walls and inside the city, the human warriors who had been waiting for a long time all let out a roar that could shake the heavens!
They showed no panic or confusion, but with an almost instinctive tacit understanding, they quickly found their planned positions in units of 100,000 people!
hum!hum!hum!
One after another, crimson beams of light, filled with fierce and domineering power, shot into the sky from the core of each military formation!

That is not simply the power of qi and blood.

Instead, it is the pure humanistic battle spirit condensed from the life cultivation, will and even life of 100,000 fearless warriors!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of supreme humanistic formations, shining with brilliant blood light and flowing with ancient martial arts essences such as "opening mountains," "severing rivers," and "mending the sky," began to operate on this majestic city!

The formations were interconnected, creating a blood-red canopy above the entire city, formed by the purest human will!
The boundless demonic power that was enough to crush the sacred mountain was completely banished outside the city walls!
The moment the Humanity Array was activated, the rolling demonic clouds had already besieged the city!

Above the clouds, thousands of demon gods with auras as deep as the sea and surrounded by endless killing intent, along with tens of thousands of demon kings, all looked down at the tiny city below with disdain.

At the center, surrounded by countless demons, stood the majestic figure of the Demon Saint Yingzhao, with wings on his back, quietly with his hands behind his back.

He gazed with great interest at the dozens of blood-red formations of humanity below, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

"It's quite interesting."

"A mere group of acquired ants has managed to evolve such a powerful battle formation."

He did not rush to make a move, but casually waved his hand at a Great Luo Demon God beside him.

"go."

"I will crush these arrogant ants who don't know their place."

"Yes, Lord Demon Saint!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Luo Demon God's face revealed a bloodthirsty fervor!
He was an ancient and strange creature, the 'Sea-Covering Serpent,' who attained enlightenment. He was extremely cruel by nature and loved to devour the flesh and blood of living beings to increase his cultivation!

He let out a deafening roar, and his human-shaped body suddenly swelled up, transforming in an instant into a ferocious giant serpent tens of thousands of feet tall, its entire body covered in pitch-black demonic flames!
He opened his blood-red maw, large enough to devour mountains, and with an unparalleled demonic might capable of tearing apart the void, he violently bit down on a humanistic array below, personally presided over by the Martial Dao True Monarch 'Li'!

"Well done!"

Within the formation, Martial Dao True Monarch 'Li' let out a long, exhilarating roar!
He showed no fear whatsoever, and instead poured all of his Martial Dao True Monarch power, which he had honed to its limit, into the core of the entire formation without reservation!
"Roar--!!!!!"

The roars of 100,000 warriors converged into one!
The humanistic array, which was originally shrouded in blood-red light, suddenly started operating and actually condensed in the void into a towering fist that was also ten thousand feet tall and made entirely of the purest blood and battle spirit!

The words "Opening the Mountain" are engraved on the giant fist.

It is filled with the most primal and domineering pure power!

next moment!
The ferocious serpent's mouth, powerful enough to devour mountains, and the towering fist, capable of splitting mountains and severing rivers, collided violently in the center of the void!
boom--!!!!!!

A terrifying roar, powerful enough to make the Wei River flow backward, resounded throughout the entire world!

The innate divine power of the Sea-Overturning Serpent was actually shattered by the impact of this pure and extreme power!

His incredibly sharp fangs shattered inch by inch, and his enormous and majestic demonic body was sent flying backward in a sorry state, as if struck by an ancient divine mountain!

The towering fist formed by the Humanity Array was shattered under the impact of the Demon God's power!
Within the formation, the faces of 100,000 martial artists turned pale, and they all spat out a mouthful of blood!

Yet, their eyes burned with an unprecedented, fierce fighting spirit!
With a single strike, the two sides were evenly matched!

That martial arts master, comparable to a Taiyi True Immortal, was actually able to confront a genuine Great Luo Demon God head-on under the blessing of the Human Dao Grand Array!

"waste!"

Seeing this, Yingzhao's playful expression slowly faded!

He never imagined that his powerful demon god, capable of suppressing an entire region, would suffer a humiliation in front of a group of ants in his eyes!
"Fuck them all!"

"If you cannot breach this city, you will all bring back your heads!"

Yingzhao's voice, filled with endless killing intent, resounded throughout the entire demon cloud!
"Yes!"

Above the clouds, thousands of demon gods and demon kings no longer dared to be the slightest bit negligent!
They all manifested their true forms as demons, covering the sky and the earth, and launched a frenzied attack on the majestic city below!

In an instant, the entire world was transformed into a chaotic purgatory where demonic magic and human battle spirits intertwined!
However, although the human race's great formations are powerful, their numbers are ultimately limited.

Faced with thousands of fearless demon gods and demon kings, after several days of fierce fighting, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Several grand formations, presided over by Golden Immortal-level martial arts masters, have been shattered under the siege of several Great Luo Demon Gods.

The 100,000 human warriors within the formation were instantly overwhelmed by endless demonic magic and divine powers, their bodies and souls annihilated!

Upon seeing this, Yingzhao's icy expression softened slightly.

He knew that the fall of this city was only a matter of time.

His gaze slowly swept over the horrific battlefield below, which had been reduced to a bloody grinder.

Finally, with unparalleled precision, it locked onto a calm figure that stood motionless in the center of the city wall.

Human Martial Ancestor!

Yingzhao could clearly sense that all the humanistic formations below were centered around this person, which was why they could operate so smoothly and without obstruction!
Capture the thief first and capture the king!
If this person can be killed on the spot, the stubborn human army will surely collapse without a fight!

Upon realizing this, a genuine smile finally appeared on Yingzhao's face.

An unparalleled demonic power erupted from his body!

With a swift movement, he ignored the chaotic battlefield below and appeared in front of Wu Zuyuan in an instant!
Its speed was so fast that it didn't even cause the slightest ripple in space!

"You are the Martial Ancestor of the Human Race?"

Yingzhao looked down at the figure before him, who was as insignificant as an ant in his eyes, his voice filled with an unquestionable sense of judgment.

"I, the Holy One, hereby grant you death!"

Before he finished speaking, his ferocious claws, powerful enough to tear apart an ancient dragon, were already slashing down towards Wu Zuyuan's body!

He wanted to do it in the most domineering and direct way.

This spiritual totem of humanity will be utterly crushed before the battlefield!

However, facing such a thunderous strike that would make any Great Luo Golden Immortal despair, Wu Zuyuan on the city wall showed no sign of panic.

He simply raised his head slowly, and unexpectedly, a brilliant glint of triumph flashed in his calm and composed eyes!
He had been waiting for this moment for far too long!

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch!"

"Let's borrow the power of the earth!"

A vast and powerful Daoist voice boomed from Wu Zuyuan's mouth!
The voice falls!

The ancient jade slip in his palm, formed from the essence of the ancestral witch Houtu, shattered with a crash.

It transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light and merged into the surging Wei River at its feet!
Rumble—!!!!!!!!!

In an instant, the entire Wei River basin and even the vast, ancient land stretching for hundreds of millions of miles began to tremble violently without warning!

It was as if an ancient giant god, who had been sleeping for countless eons, had suddenly awakened from the depths of the earth!
The boundless and immense power of the earth's origin was forcibly extracted from the deepest part of the earth's veins by an invisible yet irresistible supreme force!

One after another, dazzling chains made entirely of the purest Xuanhuang divine stone shot into the sky from the shattered earth!

Their sheer number was so great that they covered the entire sky in an instant!
Those chains were intertwined and entwined with each other, and on them flowed supreme earth laws that were enough to suppress eternity and seal everything!

Finally, under Yingzhao's incredulous gaze...

It constructed an earthen cage that isolated heaven and earth, sealed off the laws, and trapped his towering figure within it!
Wu Zuyuan never used these supreme treasures for protection.

Instead, they used it to trap the enemy!
Just as Yingzhao was trapped!

Far to the east of the primordial wilderness.

A refined-looking monk dressed in a white scholar's robe was sitting quietly in front of a chessboard.

He uses heaven and earth as his chessboard, deducing countless secrets of the universe. He is none other than Bai Ze, the leader of the demon saints.

As if sensing something, his move to place the piece froze without warning!
He slowly raised his head, his eyes traversing countless billions of miles of vast void, landing on the banks of the Wei River, which had been transformed into a bloody inferno!

When he saw the dark yellow cage that had trapped Yingzhao so tightly.

An unprecedented solemnity appeared on his face!
"What a fine human martial ancestor!"

"What a clever scheme to lure the enemy into a trap!"

Bai Ze let out a soft sigh, his voice filled with indescribable complexity.

He never imagined that these weak creatures, whom he considered nothing more than weak prey for refining magical artifacts, would possess such courage and cunning!

Not only did they not hold fast to the holy site, but they also did not retreat into hiding.

Instead, they took the initiative and built a formidable city on the banks of the Wei River, using themselves as bait.

They actually managed to hook Yingzhao, this ancient fish that had lived for countless eons!
Even more deadly was the Xuanhuang cage that trapped Yingzhao.

What flows on it is clearly the unique earth-based fundamental law of the Wu tribe's Houtu!
Humans and shamans have actually formed an alliance!
This matter far exceeded his initial expectations!

"Issue my order: all demon gods in the east, heed my command and rush to the aid of the Wei River immediately!"

Without further hesitation, Bai Ze immediately got up and went to the Wei River battlefield, which had turned into a sea of ​​blood, to rescue the reckless Ying Zhao!

However, before he could even move, the calm void in front of him began to distort without warning!
The endless and domineering divine fire of Zhurong seemed to surge out from the depths of the netherworld, instantly engulfing the entire divine mountain where he was located!

Within the divine fire, a colossal giant with a snake's body and a human face, its entire body crimson, and its aura extremely violent, slowly manifested!

He is none other than Zhu Rong, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Ancestral Witch of Fire!

"White Pond."

Zhu Rong's voice, filled with boundless fighting spirit, resounded like thunder from the heavens, booming throughout the world!

"Your demon race's opponent is me!"

"Want to go over there? First, ask this Zhurong Divine Banner in my hand!"

At the same very moment!

In the distant southern wilderness, the demon saint Ji Meng, who was about to set off for the Wei River to provide assistance, was also blocked in his way by an equally domineering and towering figure!

The giant was as green as bamboo, with a bird's body and a human face, standing on two ferocious divine dragons, surrounded by endless winds powerful enough to tear the sky apart!
He is none other than Jumang, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Ancestral Witch of Wood!

And in the far more remote, bitterly cold north, frozen for countless ages.

The path of the Demon Saint Fei Lian was also completely cut off by a terrifying being with a tiger's head and a human body, four hooves, long elbows, and endless Gui Water Divine Thunder swirling around him!
Gonggong, the ancestral sovereign of water!
The war is about to break out!
……

On the banks of the Wei River, within the prison of the earth.

After the initial shock and anger, Yingzhao's violent expression gradually returned to its former calm.

He slowly turned around and looked at Wu Zuyuan.

"Good, good, good!"

"What a fine human martial ancestor!"

"How could my Yingzhao have been defeated in this ditch!"

Although he knew he had been tricked, he remained completely calm.

He was an ancient demon saint who survived the great calamity of the Dragon and Han dynasties.

His unwavering resolve and rich combat experience far surpass those of ordinary powerful beings!

Although this earthly prison before them was sturdy, it was ultimately just a manifestation of Houtu's primordial power, not her true self.

As long as we can completely kill this human martial ancestor who is pretending to be mysterious, this cage will surely collapse on its own!

"The Martial Ancestor of the Human Race".

Yingzhao's voice turned icy cold.

"I, the Holy One, would like to see what tricks you, an ant trapped in a cage, have up your sleeve to dare challenge me!"

Before he finished speaking, his towering demonic body with wings on his back transformed into a black demonic wind in an instant, once again charging towards Wu Zuyuan!
This time, he showed no contempt whatsoever!
In his right hand, a golden spear, its entire body engraved with countless wind and thunder totems, appeared in response to his command!

The superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Wind and Thunder Golden Spear!
Above his left hand, there floated a ferocious war drum that was entirely black and seemed to be filled with the wailing and roaring of millions of demonic souls!

A top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the War Drum of Ten Thousand Souls!
"Thump—!!!!!"

Yingzhao suddenly struck the drum!

A terrifying demonic sound, powerful enough to shatter the primordial spirit of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, exploded within the cage!

Endless sound waves transformed into visible black ripples, frantically washing over Wu Zuyuan's martial arts true form!

At the same time, the Wind and Thunder Golden Spear in his hand transformed into a ferocious thunder dragon with bared fangs and claws, piercing straight at Wu Zuyuan's ancestral aperture between his eyebrows!
Faced with this deadly situation of being attacked from both sound waves and physical objects, Wu Zuyuan's towering figure remained as immovable as a mountain!

"Well done!"

A long roar, equally filled with boundless fighting spirit, exploded from his mouth!

He held nothing back, unleashing the Martial Ancestor Seal that suppressed the entire human race's fortune and the Merit Stone Spear that had drunk the blood of countless demons!

Buzz——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Martial Ancestor Seal hovered above his head, drooping down countless strands of thick and boundless Xuanhuang merit energy, completely enveloping his towering martial body that was tens of thousands of feet tall!

The terrifying demonic sound, powerful enough to shatter the primordial spirit, was completely dissolved into nothingness the moment it came into contact with this precious energy of merit!

The merit stone spear was held tightly in Wu Zuyuan's palm!

He poured all of his immense blood and qi, which were completely connected to the fate of humanity, into it without reservation!

"break!"

With a sudden flick of his wrist, Wu Zuyuan's merit stone spear, which was swirling with boundless human will, transformed into an extremely dazzling beam of Xuanhuang divine light, fearlessly colliding head-on with the ferocious golden thunder dragon!

boom--!!!!!!

A terrifying roar, powerful enough to make the entire earth-shaking cage tremble violently, exploded in the center of the cage!

The Xuanhuang divine light and the golden thunder dragon engaged in the most intense mutual annihilation in the void, ultimately transforming into a chaotic torrent of laws that vanished into nothingness!

It's a tie!
"what?!"

Upon seeing this, a look of horror finally appeared in Yingzhao's eyes, which were filled with cruel killing intent!
He never imagined that the human Martial Ancestor in front of him could withstand the direct attack of his two high-grade innate spiritual treasures with just one acquired merit treasure and one acquired merit spiritual treasure!
This person... is actually this powerful?!
Yingzhao was increasingly alarmed by the Vietnam War!

He could clearly sense that the human Martial Ancestor before him had not yet severed his three corpses and attained the Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit.

However, his Taoist practice was profound, his vital energy was abundant, and his merits were rich.

It was in no way inferior to me, an ancient demon saint who had attained enlightenment over countless eons!
"This child must not be kept!"

A chilling thought suddenly rose in Yingzhao's mind!
He knew that if he could not kill this person today, he would become a major threat to his demon race's heavenly court once he truly grew up!

Upon realizing this, a resolute glint flashed in Yingzhao's eyes!
Without the slightest hesitation, the auspicious clouds above his head, filled with demonic energy, surged violently.

A majestic Taoist figure, identical to his original self but with a purer and more benevolent aura, slowly emerged from the auspicious clouds!
Good corpse!

"die!"

Yingzhao himself and his benevolent corpse did not utter a single word, and the two equally profound figures stood on the left and right.

They charged at Wu Zuyuan again from two completely different directions!
They intended to fight two against one and completely annihilate him here!

However, even in the face of such a desperate situation, Wu Zuyuan's towering figure remained as immovable as a mountain.

Only a long, exhilarating roar, filled with boundless pride, resounded once again throughout the entire world!
"Hahaha! Well done!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

He did not activate any more magical treasures, but instead retrieved the Martial Ancestor Seal and the Merit Stone Spear!
On his towering, ten-thousand-foot-tall martial body, countless ancient totems representing the eternal history of humankind's struggle once again appeared!
To make fire by rubbing sticks together! To build a nest from wood!
Hunt down the great demon! Split mountains and sever rivers!
He actually intended to use his purest martial arts true form to simultaneously withstand the combined attack of an ancient demon saint and his benevolent corpse!

boom! boom! boom!
A brutal close-quarters battle unfolded within this enclosed earthen prison!
Wu Zuyuan's fists were wide and powerful, full of an indomitable and rebellious humanitarian will!

Yingzhao's golden spear is incomparably sharp, and every strike is imbued with the laws of wind and thunder capable of piercing through heaven and earth!
Its benevolent corpse's supernatural powers are even more unpredictable, eroding Wu Zuyuan's martial will invisibly!

In an instant, fist shadows and spear lights intertwined within the entire earthly prison, and the human path and the demon path clashed, resulting in a fierce battle that was evenly matched and difficult to determine!
However, as the battle progressed, a look of seriousness slowly appeared in Wu Zuyuan's calm eyes.

He knew that although he could rely on the luck and merit of the human race to protect himself, he could still stand up to the demon saint Yingzhao head-on without being at a disadvantage.

However, the other party was ultimately an ancient being who had attained enlightenment over countless eons.

Its profound resources and numerous means of self-preservation far surpass those of mine.

Completely eliminating it here will probably not be an easy task!
"It seems... it's still a bit lacking."

Amidst the fierce battle, Wu Zuyuan let out a long, drawn-out sigh.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the barrier of the earth's cage.

It landed on the vast and distant East China Sea.
