Primordial Era: I am the First Green Ox, the Senior Brother of the Three Religions

The void trembled as a ten-thousand-foot-long divine light of azure gold tore through the sky.

Niu Ben, carrying Xi He and Chang Xi, stepped out of the spatial rift and landed steadily above the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Beneath our feet lies a verdant mountain range stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, where a rich, innate spiritual energy rises everywhere.

Since the Primordial Heavenly Dao had just integrated half of the Demon Realm's origin, the Ten Thousand Mountains also benefited greatly. The spiritual herbs and fruits all over the mountains grew wildly, and many little bull demons that had gained sentience were running wildly in the valleys.

"My husband, we're finally home."

Xihe let out a long sigh of relief and gently tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the strong wind.

Chang Xi put her hands on her hips, looked at her familiar home, and relaxed completely.

"This trip to the Demon Realm was a complete disaster, but staying in the Ten Thousand Mountains is still the most reassuring!"

Chang Xi blinked and said with a smile.

Niu Ben rubbed his throbbing neck. Although his magical power was still surging, his nerves had been on edge for so long, and he was indeed a little tired.

"Let's go down and check on the old man and the others."

As soon as Niu Ben finished speaking, a powerful and incomparably majestic holy aura suddenly erupted from the main peak of the Azure Ox below.

"Boom!"

A burly figure in a green robe rose into the air, stepping on auspicious clouds, and in the blink of an eye, he soared into the sky.

The visitor was none other than Niu Ben's father, Niu Ba, the chieftain of the Niu clan.

Niu Ba's holy aura was faintly visible, and his two big, copper bell-like eyes stared wide open as he looked Niu Ben up and down, as if afraid that his son might lose a piece of his flesh.

"You brat! You've finally crawled back unharmed!"

Niu Ba opened his hoarse voice and slapped Niu Ben hard on the shoulder twice, making a loud thud.

"Father, be gentle. With the strength of a Primordial Saint like you, anyone else would have had their bones crushed."

Niu Ben grinned, looking relaxed.

"Stop arguing with me. The mess you made in the Demon Realm has already spread throughout the entire prehistoric world!"

Niu Ba's stubble-covered old face beamed with joy, his mouth agape so wide you could see his back teeth.

"You smashed the Holy Ancestor's dog head with one punch, ground the Demon Realm Ruler to dust with your World-Destroying Millstone, and even knocked away half of the Heavenly Dao's origin when the Dao Ancestor descended!"

"That felt great! That was fucking great! In all my years of life, this is the day I've stood up straightest!"

Niu Ba was so excited that his beard stood on end and he was beaming with pride.

He attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal by relying on the Saint's Crystal, so his foundation was naturally inferior to those veteran powerhouses. He was always cautious in his actions in the Primordial World.

But now, his own son, with his true abilities, beat the ruler of another world like a grandson, and even forced the Heavenly Dao representative, Hongjun Daozu, to cut off his flesh while holding his nose. This made Niu Ba gain a lot of face in front of the great powers of the prehistoric world.

"The King is back! The King has returned in triumph!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty! Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"May our King be invincible! May the Bull Clan prosper forever!"

The entire Shiwan Mountain range erupted in a frenzy at that moment.

Tens of millions of Niu tribesmen poured out from all the blessed lands and caves, kneeling down in the mountains and fields, and letting out deafening cheers.

Immediately afterwards, two streaks of light flew down from the main hall on the mountaintop.

It was Niu Ben's mother, Niu Mu, and his younger sister, Niu Xiaomei.

"elder brother!"

Niu Xiaomei skipped over and hugged Niu Ben's arm, her face beaming with joy.

"Brother, you're amazing! Just now, when the heavenly rain of merit fell, even the divine voice of the Heavenly Dao was chanting your name. All the immortals in the primordial world are saying that our Bull Clan has produced the number one person in all the heavens!"

Niu Ben reached out and pinched Niu Xiaomei's cheek, laughing, "Alright, little girl, stop praising your brother. Judging by your cultivation level, you haven't been slacking off much lately, have you?"

Little Cow stuck out her tongue and quickly shrank behind her mother.

The mother cow quickly stepped forward, grabbed Niu Ben's wrist, her eyes filled with heartache for her son.

"Ben'er, don't listen to your father's nonsense. Cross-realm battles aren't that easy. Are you sure you haven't damaged your primordial spirit foundation?"

The cow mother's voice was gentle and delicate as she observed every inch of the cow's breath.

"Mother, your son is tough and thick-skinned. He's protected by the ninth level of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art. Those old bones can't even break through my oily skin. I'm in great shape."

Niu Ben felt a warmth in his heart and gently comforted her.

Xihe and Changxi also stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the cow mother.

"Greetings, Mother."

"Good, good, it's good that everyone is back safe and sound!"

The cow mother smiled from ear to ear, holding Xihe and Changxi's hands, her heart filled with joy.

Niu Ba, hands on his hips, roared, "Men! Bring out all the Wanling Monkey Wine that's been sealed away in the ancestral temple's cellar for 100,000 years! Today, we're having a grand feast in the Ten Thousand Mountains—we won't leave until we're drunk!"

"Aww! Time to drink!"

The mountain demons and water monsters of the entire Ten Thousand Mountains roared in unison and busied themselves with great enthusiasm. The aroma of roasted meat and the sweetness of spiritual fruits instantly filled the entire sky.

Looking at the bustling scene before him, Niu Ben felt the murderous and violent energy that had been building up in the Demon Realm completely dissipate.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the Green Ox Ancestral Hall and strode towards the main hall.

Inside the Qingniu Ancestral Temple in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The noise from the outside world was shut out by the powerful array.

In the center of the main hall, only Niu Ba, Niu Mu, Niu Ben, and Niu Xiaomei sat around a white jade table.

Niu Ba raised his hand and unleashed a chaotic barrier, completely sealing off the entire hall, preventing even a trace of divine sense from probing in.

After doing all this, Niu Ba's wild joy slowly subsided, and his expression became serious and mysterious.

"Son, tell me the truth, just how confident is our Bull Clan in this trip to the Demon Realm?"

Niu Ba lowered his voice, his large, coppery eyes staring intently at Niu Ben.

Niu Ben picked up the spiritual tea on the table, took a sip, and remained calm.

"They have a lot of confidence."

"I hold half of the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Demon Realm in my hands, and the three thousand Chaos Divine Oxen within my body can be fully perfected at any time."

"As long as I refine these origins completely, within the primordial world, apart from the Heavenly Dao body of Dao Ancestor Hongjun who merged with the Dao, all the other saints together would not be enough for me to defeat with one hand."

As soon as Niu Ben uttered those words in plain language, Niu Ba couldn't help but gasp.

"Good lad, pretty arrogant! But I like it!"

Niu Ba rubbed his hands together, then carefully pulled something out from deep within his sleeve.

It was a divine object that emanated boundless sacred principles and was crystal clear throughout.

As soon as the divine object appeared, the void of the entire hall instantly froze, and complete chains of the Great Dao appeared and disappeared inside.

It was the otherworldly sacred object—the Saint Crystal—that was distributed among the top sects of the various factions during the previous great battle when they were rewarding their merits!

As the main lineage of the largest demon race in the prehistoric world, and with Niu Ben, the number one person in all the heavens, presiding over it, the Bull Clan naturally received a Saint Crystal that belonged exclusively to the Bull Clan.
