Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

Zhou Yi shattered the void with a punch, simultaneously unleashing the Nine Secrets Technique, instantly unleashing astonishing combat power.

He traversed the sky with incredible speed and power, each punch delivered with full force, striking the azure dragon's body, shattering its scales and splattering blood, creating an extremely realistic effect.

The dragon roared in pain, trying to escape to the heavens, as if it had developed a fear of the I Ching.

Soon, the giant dragon turned around and charged back, while the other eight giant dragons approached Zhou Yi almost simultaneously, engaging in a fierce battle with him.

Zhou Yi's expression was serious, and each strike was stained with blood, not only the blood of the dragon but also his own blood, and even bones could be seen on his fists.

However, he didn't care about any of this, because with the holder's secret, this minor injury could be healed in the blink of an eye, and it was nothing to him.

Nine giant dragons surrounded Zhou Yi, and the battle between the two sides was extremely fierce. Even someone as strong as Zhou Yi could not win easily.

Suddenly, with the help of the holder's secret power, Zhou Yi's strength increased tenfold, and a single heavy punch was enough to change the color of the heavens and earth.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yi used the secret of the character "Lin" to enter a state of divine restriction and unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful attack, suppressing all nine giant dragons in one fell swoop.

"Roar!" With a dragon's roar that resounded through the sky, an even larger dragon appeared from the surging sea of ​​thunder, the light spewing from its mouth as boundless as a galaxy.

This dragon was much larger and more powerful than the previous ones; it had reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

A fierce battle ensued once again, and with the power of the Nine Secrets, Zhou Yi finally shattered the dragon's enormous body.

Although the dragon was destroyed, the heavenly tribulation did not end there.

Amidst the tremors of the thunderous sea, nine enormous fire phoenixes swooped down upon Zhou Yi. Empowered by the Nine Secrets, Zhou Yi fought with ever-growing ferocity, his intense fighting spirit soaring to the heavens, ultimately annihilating the nine fire phoenixes.

Then, an even larger fire phoenix appeared, its appearance being exactly the same as the legendary ancestor of the phoenix clan, Yuanfeng.

After a hard-fought battle, nine more Qilin appeared in the Thunder Sea, including a giant Qilin that was extremely similar to the legendary Primordial Qilin.

"Could it be that what I just experienced was the Great Calamity of the Dragon and Han?" Zhou Yi muttered to himself.

In the primordial world, long ago, the dragon, phoenix, and qilin were the rulers of heaven and earth.

If I'm not mistaken, what Zhou Yi just encountered was the mark left by the most powerful being of these three races.

In this fierce battle, Zhou Yi was injured multiple times, but thanks to the Nine Secrets, these challenges did not pose a real threat to him.

After experiencing the three great tribulations of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin, a golden bell flew out from the sea of ​​thunder and pressed down on Zhou Yi.

"Is this the mark of the Chaos Bell?" Zhou Yi wondered to himself.

This golden bell contains immeasurable power, capable of vibrating space and time, and possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities, making it difficult for Zhou Yi to harm it for the time being.

Then, Lei Hai went to suppress Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi had no time to think further. The marks left by the three innate treasures appeared under the influence of the heavenly tribulation and exerted pressure on him together.

The battle was extremely fierce, and Zhou Yi's body was destroyed multiple times, but he rebuilt his body time and time again with his strong will.

After countless hours, Zhou Yi finally found a breakthrough at his limit and launched a powerful attack that incorporated the secret technique of the character "皆", successfully shattering the imprints of the three innate treasures.

As the heavenly tribulation gradually dissipated, Zhou Yi officially entered the realm of quasi-emperors.

"I never expected this cultivation would take two hundred years." It took Zhou Yi a full two hundred years to advance from the first level of the Sendai realm to the first level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Although this period of time is not long in the context of the prehistoric world, it can even be said to be very short, because it is usually impossible to reach the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal within this time.

Of course, this does not include those innate deities who are born with great power, such as the Three Pure Ones.

Zhou Yi was originally just an ordinary innate human, but in just over five hundred years he reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, an achievement that is enough to shock many people.

All of this is thanks to the powerful force of the Heavenly Emperor's Law; otherwise, the Book of Changes could not have made such tremendous progress in two hundred years.

After reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm, Zhou Yi did not choose to leave seclusion, but decided to continue cultivating.

His body has entered the quasi-emperor stage, which means that Zhou Yi can further improve the Ancient Sacred Body until it reaches its ultimate form.

Once the Sacred Body reaches its peak, even with only the strength of a Quasi-Emperor, Zhou Yi is confident that he can contend with a powerhouse at the Emperor level, namely the Quasi-Saint level of the Primordial World.

In order to achieve the ultimate perfection of the sacred body, one must cultivate each secret realm again according to the unique secret method until perfection is achieved, so as to realize the ultimate sublimation and attain enlightenment in a different way.

Fortunately, the system has already bestowed upon Zhou Yi the cultivation method for the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

Therefore, Zhou Yi encountered no obstacles in the process of re-cultivating the five secret realms.

As time passed, another century went by, and Zhou Yi's cultivation steadily improved to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.

At the same time, he successfully cultivated all five secret realms back to their perfect state.

The golden blood in Zhou Yi's body turned back to red, and every movement he made was filled with astonishing power.

"My sacred body is finally complete. Now my physical body should be comparable to that of the Ancestral Witch!" Zhou Yi thought to himself.

At this moment, his physical body was close to immortality, and he could even face an ultimate imperial weapon with his bare hands.

In the primordial world, the Wu tribe was known for its powerful physical bodies, but Zhou Yi was confident that his physical strength was no less than that of the Ancestral Wu.

As for who is stronger, that still needs to be verified through actual combat.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Yi will have many opportunities to prove himself in the future.

"Why hasn't the Heavenly Tribulation arrived?" Zhou Yi muttered to himself.

In its previous breakthroughs, Zhou Yi had undergone the test of heavenly tribulations.

This was not only a severe challenge for him, but also a test that allowed him to improve further.

This time, Zhou Yi reached the realm of perfect sainthood, a major breakthrough that he originally thought would bring another heavenly tribulation.

However, the primordial world is different from the world in "Covering the Sky". After Zhou Yi's Holy Body was perfected, the expected heavenly tribulation did not occur.

However, Zhou Yi knew in his heart that once he stepped into the Great Emperor realm, the Heavenly Tribulation would surely descend again.

In particular, the tribulation one faces upon entering the Great Emperor realm will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, be an unprecedented and unparalleled tribulation, the magnitude of which is probably unimaginable.

Currently, if Zhou Yi wants to reach the level of a Great Emperor, he still needs more experience and accumulation, and his own cultivation is not yet fully in place.

Furthermore, for those who possess the Holy Body, reaching the Great Emperor realm is inherently more difficult than for ordinary people.

Of course, if successful, his combat power would far surpass that of an ordinary emperor, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a Heavenly Emperor.

Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, because there was still some time before the Lich Calamity, and he had enough time to prepare.

After leaving the pass, Suihuang, Youchao, and Cangwen immediately came to pay their respects to Zhouyi.
