Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

Considering the relatively stable safety situation of the human race, Zhou Yi decided after careful consideration to have the ruthless person stay behind to guard the area. "You stay here and take charge," the ruthless person nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yi scanned his surroundings and discovered that everyone, including Yao Yan, Fang Yun, and Shi Hao, longed to go to the Wu Clan together.

Shi Hao, in particular, was filled with curiosity about the witch clan described in the prayer.

Originally, Zhou Yi planned to bring Yao Yan along, but after noticing that there were many injured people among the returning crowd, he decided to leave Yao Yan, who was skilled in alchemy, to treat the wounded.

Similarly, Fang Yun's presence could soothe people's hearts, and his poetry could calm them down. Thus, with the help of the Emperor Sui, Fang Yun would quickly arrange the internal affairs of the human race.

Ultimately, Zhou Yi made the decision: "Zhou Yi and Shi Hao will come with me to the Witch Clan, while the rest of you will remain at the camp for the time being. The Human Race is at a crucial stage of development, and I thank everyone for their efforts." Everyone expressed their understanding and support.

The ruthless man returned to the cave, while Yao Yan and Fang Yun followed Suihuang into the crowd. They were both impressed by Zhou Yi's quick and orderly arrangements.

In Di Hong's heart, the Book of Changes became even more important.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Di Hong tore open a spatial rift in the air. "Let's go." He stretched out his hand to Zhou Yi and the others, gesturing for them to follow. But Zhou Yi shook his head. "We don't need to use spatial jumps. We'll fly directly there. I want to remember this path."

Although somewhat puzzled, Di Hong obediently closed the spatial rift. He then led Zhou Yi, Shi Hao, and others eastward. As the desolate kingdom receded into the distance, the outline of Mount Buzhou gradually became clear. This colossal mountain range, piercing the clouds, was the central pillar of the primordial world, easily visible even from afar.

Zhou Yi silently calculated the journey. For those with lower cultivation levels, it would take at least ten days to reach this place even at full speed, and that would be assuming the distance was relatively short. For ordinary people, the journey might take a month or even three months.

During his journey, Zhou Yi carefully noted which places concealed dangers and which sections of the road were deserted and uninhabited. This land was vast and boundless, exceeding everyone's imagination. The human settlement was located at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, while the Wu tribe lived in the Pangu Temple on the mountainside on the other side of the mountain. Just between the two sides was tens of thousands of miles.

The twelve demon gods, who had already received the news, paused their cultivation and waited with curiosity and anticipation. They all wanted to meet this legendary ancestor of the human race, the hero who had repeatedly defeated the demon race. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

As they approached their destination, the surrounding turbid and malevolent energy noticeably increased, even causing Zhou Yi to frown. The golden dragon pattern on his clothes seemed to sense this, glowing faintly. A faint crackle of lightning also appeared around Shi Hao, resisting this unusual aura. Zhou Yi merely glanced at it; he knew the Wu Clan was renowned for their robust physiques, thus attracting a significant amount of turbid energy from the world, a stark contrast to the cultivation methods of the modern primordial world.

Then, Zhou Yi's face turned somewhat pale. He had just tried to use his divine sense to investigate the Pangu Temple located halfway up the mountain, but as soon as his divine sense touched it...

An immense pressure, like a surging wave, swept over him. For a moment, his heart seemed to stop. His soul trembled under this force. It took him a long time to slowly recover. The pressure, though not completely dissipated, carried an ancient and profound aura.

As the group slowly descended, the surrounding demons swarmed around them. Di Hong quickly scanned the area and immediately noticed something was amiss. "Where are Yu Qiang and Hou Tu?" he asked.

Hearing this question, Ru Shou inwardly groaned. He hadn't expected his elder brother to be so perceptive, discovering his problem so quickly. "Hou Tu and Yu Qiang had to leave early," Ru Shou answered, forcing a smile, his voice revealing a hint of nervousness.

Di Hong was filled with questions. He remembered that she was the first to suggest dealing with the human race, so why did she leave now that Zhou Yi had arrived? Unable to figure it out, Di Hong decided to stop thinking about it and directly led Zhou Yi and the others to the Pangu Temple.

This time, Zhou Yi dared not casually use his divine sense to explore his surroundings, while Yao Yan and Zhou Yi focused intently on the Pangu Temple. Based on their rich experience and knowledge, they judged that even a Great Emperor might not possess such a temple. A heavy pressure could be felt simply from the aura emanating from the temple.

Upon entering the temple, Zhu Song warmly greeted everyone, especially embracing Shi Hao. The Water God looked at Zhou Yi and Zhou Yi, secretly amazed by their strength: "This guy's aura is almost on par with ours. I wonder what kind of opportunity allowed him to reach this level?" At the same time, a strong fighting spirit rose in his heart.

Zhou Yi keenly sensed the Water God's fighting spirit and took a step forward. The Water God recognized Zhou Yi, remembering the scene of him confronting the Eastern Emperor Bell with his bare hands in that battle. "You're the powerful one who appeared later, how about we have a match?" As he spoke, the Water God reached out and grabbed Zhou Yi's arm.

Zhou Yi reacted swiftly, blocking the Water God's attack in the same posture. Their arms intertwined, muscles taut like rocks. They clashed without using any spiritual power, relying solely on the strength of their physical bodies. After years of cultivation, Zhou Yi's body was as solid as a rock, and even the powerful Water God felt the pressure. In the clash of strength, the Water God's arm was slightly deflected.

Everyone around stared wide-eyed, clearly not expecting such an outcome.

"Water God, haven't you been training your physical strength properly?" Zhu Song teased.

This statement offended the water god, who was furious.

"Let's go, let's have a spar, without using any magic!" the Water God said, staring intently at Ye Yi.

Ye Yi looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement; clearly, everyone was waiting to see a good show. How could he possibly back down? His stubbornness and competitive spirit were immediately ignited.

"No problem!" Ye Yi replied loudly without any fear.

Di Hong had anticipated this, and upon seeing this scene, he simply waved his hand.

In an instant, the scene before everyone's eyes suddenly changed, and everything around them disappeared, leaving only a spacious area prepared specifically for them.

Ye Yi frowned slightly. He hadn't even noticed how the environment had changed, even though his divine sense was already very sharp.

This greatly shocked him, and he couldn't help but wonder just how profound Di Hong's expertise in this area was.

At the same time, lightning began to flash around Ye Yi, as he tried to probe the nature of this space.

However, before his lightning power could spread, it was suppressed by an invisible force.

Turning around, he saw that Jumang and the others were watching him intently.

At this moment, the Water God and Ye Yi stood face to face, ready to begin their duel.

Although neither side used magic, their physical strength alone was astonishing.
