Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

Upon hearing this, everyone present who knew the truth frowned, speechless. Anyone who paid even a little attention could see the truth.

Zhou Yi secretly regretted that his initial arrangements were not thorough enough, which led to his current passive situation.

"Do you humans think you're so great just because you've achieved a little?" Kunpeng said with a look of disdain. "With your meager strength, you'd struggle to even establish yourself in this primordial land."

"I didn't make a move before because I felt sorry for you, but you actually mistook that pity for your own strength. How utterly foolish!" Kunpeng's words were sharp and sarcastic.

"The Sage gave you a chance, and the Eastern Emperor gave you a chance, but I won't. You've come at the right time, saving me the trouble of looking for you. Let's take care of you together." Kunpeng's eyes flashed with killing intent.

Yao Yan said, "I'm injured. I'll lend you Di Yan's magic weapon first. Be careful of his Demon Master Palace; it's an extremely powerful defensive artifact."

Zhou Yi nodded in agreement, and the two made a vow with a high five. Golden flames then leaped onto his palm.

Sensing the power contained within the flames, Zhou Yi was shocked: if these flames were fully unleashed, they would surely be rejected by the Heavenly Dao. That was why Yao Yan hadn't used his full strength just now.

"Then let's give it a try. Shi Hao, keep an eye on them." With that, Zhou Yi rushed towards Kunpeng like lightning.

Faced with the attack, Kunpeng not only did not retreat, but instead stepped forward, and a huge phantom that blotted out the sky gradually appeared behind him.

"You humans must atone for your choices with your lives!" Kunpeng roared.

The golden flames clashed violently with the surging seawater, both sides giving their all. The water laws controlled by Kunpeng were gradually losing ground in the face of the golden flames, but he showed no fear.

While Zhou Yi hesitated, he quickly gathered the power of thunder in his hands and shot it at the enemy along with the flames, like two furious dragons pouncing on Kunpeng, instantly engulfing it.

Zhou Yi felt a surge of joy, thinking he had succeeded, but the next second, the Kunpeng's figure began to slowly dissipate. "What kind of special method is this?" He hurriedly searched for a flaw, but found nothing.

Just as he was pondering, Kunpeng suddenly appeared behind him. Before Zhou Yi could react, he was slapped away and staggered forward a few steps.

When he turned around, all he saw was the palm print left by Kunpeng. At that moment, everyone's eyes were filled with shock; it was an afterimage.

Lightning crackled around Zhou Yi as he searched everywhere, but Kunpeng seemed to have vanished without a trace. Suddenly, Kunpeng reappeared behind him and struck successfully.

Zhou Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with astonishment and confusion. He clearly remembered that he had already protected his entire body with lightning, and no matter how fast his opponent was, they could not break through this layer of protection.

"What kind of speed is this?" Yao Yan's eyes narrowed sharply as he realized that even using his strongest lightning technique was far from enough to match this speed.

Zhou Yi's mood plummeted. He secretly pondered that in the exchange just now, his opponent hadn't even used their full strength.

Looking up at Shi Hao, she asked, "Can you keep up with this speed?" Shi Hao shook his head seriously.

Although he had encountered fast opponents before, the Kunpeng before him was completely different. His speed seemed to be aided by the world itself; the wind accelerated him, space shortened for him, and time stood still for him.

Zhou Yi, who had initially been on the offensive, quickly switched to defense, with golden flames surrounding him, but he could only barely defend himself.

Even so, he still needs to be constantly vigilant against the sudden attacks of Kunpeng.

Kunpeng's voice came from all directions, "You think you can stop me with this little bit of thunder? You're too naive."

It turns out that Kunpeng truly masters the law of speed, even surpassing the law of water.

In the entire primordial world, no one could surpass him in speed. Even sages had to admit defeat in terms of speed.

Kunpeng threatened, "Look at your people, watch their hearts being torn apart by me, bit by bit."

Each time Kunpeng appears, it leaves a scar on Zhou Yi.

After thousands of attacks, despite being protected by golden flames, Zhou Yi was covered in blood.

Fresh blood dripped continuously, instantly evaporating into a blood mist due to the high temperature, filling the surroundings with a pungent smell of blood.

The fighting below had long since ceased; the soldiers had retreated to a safe distance the moment the lotus exploded, silently awaiting the outcome of this decisive battle. For them, if the Demon Master won, the fate of humanity would be sealed.

They are about to face an extremely brutal battle.

The human hunting party also suffered considerable losses and had to retreat back inside the city walls.

At this moment, everyone's heart was in their throat, and they stared nervously at the sky.

Seeing their own race's strongest members battered and bruised by the enemy, everyone felt a deep sense of loss and despair.

"It seems that our human race is still not as strong as other races in this respect. It will be no easy task for us to truly rise to power."

"Our training time is still too short, and compared to those demons, we have almost no chance of winning."

One member shook his head and sighed, his face full of worry.

Shan slowly stood up. His body was covered with more than a dozen wounds, all marks left from the battle just now.

However, his face was filled with determination as he stood resolutely in front of his people and shouted, "We must believe in the power of humanity!"

"He shielded us from all these difficulties."

"Look at the strong people above us; they are our goals, and we must strive to be like them."

"One day, humanity will also become a powerful race."

Hearing the mountain's inspiration, many people rekindled the spark of hope in their hearts.

The three powerful human warriors were also using their own methods to appease the crowd and casting spells to relieve the pressure on their heads.

Since Shi Hao could get in, he must have a way out. They decided that the three of them would desperately hold off Kunpeng so that Shi Hao could lead his people to escape. As long as someone survived, there was hope for humanity.

Zhou Yi was driven to the brink of collapse by the speed of the Kunpeng.

He shouted, and a human dharma image appeared behind him, his whole body instantly covered in golden flames, as if he were wearing a layer of shining armor, with lightning also surrounding him.

Yao Yan immediately threw his Xuanzhong Ruler towards Zhou Yi, shouting, "Ancestor of Humanity, catch it!"

Zhou Yi grabbed the Xuanzhong Ruler, and a similar weapon appeared on the human race's Dharma Image, with flames and lightning intertwined on it.

In an instant, Kunpeng's attack stopped.

Zhou Yi raised the Xuanzhong Ruler and slashed down fiercely. The Dharma Image behind him made the same movement, and the space began to tremble violently, as if it were afraid of this power.

Then, space shattered into fragments at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You are fast, but my sword can break through all laws with a single strike."

As space shattered, the environment around Zhouyi underwent tremendous changes, with scattered spatial fragments capable of instantly destroying anything they touched.

And the figure of Kunpeng gradually appeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when it appeared.

If it continues to move at high speed, the I Ching will certainly find it difficult to cope.

This can be seen from his current state.
