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

His muscles, as black as ink, bulged like dragons, and ancient, chaotic divine runes flowed endlessly across his skin.

Two enormous bull horns pierced the sky, radiating a fierce and sharp light that could pierce the heavens!

In front of Niu Ben's true form, the originally enormous Eye of Heavenly Punishment actually appeared somewhat insignificant!

Niu Ben raised his enormous black hand that blotted out the sky, and in the palm of his hand, the world-destroying millstone suddenly appeared!

Rumble!

The innate supreme treasure, the World-Destroying Millstone, spun wildly in his palm, spewing out destructive divine light that could grind down the three thousand great worlds.

In his other hand, the Chaos Five Elements Flag transformed into a five-colored divine light curtain, directly stabilizing the celestial meridians of the four extremes of the prehistoric world, preventing the aftershocks of the battle from shattering the prehistoric continent into fragments.

"Old Taoist priest, come here!"

Niu Ben's enormous true form roared to the sky, its voice causing large swathes of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to shatter!

"Back then, the great god Pangu created heaven and earth, but he died from exhaustion, which is why you were able to merge with the Dao and seize power!"

"Today, I too am proving the Dao through force, cultivating the primordial chaos!"

"If you want war, I'll fight you and shatter this primordial Thirty-Three Heavens, then we'll see if your Heavenly Dao is stronger, or my fists are!"

boom!!

Two terrifying pressures, exceeding the limits of the Heavenly Dao, collided fiercely in the void!

The entire primordial world shook violently, mountains flowed backward, and seas surged in reverse!

Billions of living beings prostrated themselves on the ground; in the face of this clash of ultimate wills, even breathing lost its meaning.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment stared intently at Niu Ben's enormous Chaos Divine Ox form.

Deep within the enormous eyeball, endless chains of divine rules frantically deduced and calculated.

They remained silent for the duration of half an incense stick burning.

The world-destroying sea of ​​lightning surging wildly in the Eye of Heavenly Punishment actually began to slowly recede.

The results deduced by Hongjun Daozu filled him with waves of despair and dread.

If war were to break out, he might be able to suppress Niu Ben with the power of the Heavenly Dao, but his own Dao foundation would inevitably be damaged, and the Heavenly Dao itself might even be shattered in half!

At that time, the primordial world will return to chaos, and he, the one who merges with the Heavenly Dao, will completely lose his power!

Moreover, Niu Ben possesses the World-Destroying Millstone and the Chaos Five Elements Flag, and his body is filled with complete Great Dao-level magical power, making him an existence that Heavenly Punishment cannot easily annihilate.

Hongjun could not afford this price.

Heaven has yielded!

Hurala!

The sea of ​​lightning, which had been suppressed to the extreme, began to recede at a visible speed.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment slowly closed, eventually disappearing completely into the depths of the void rift.

As the clouds dispersed and the sun rose, its rays once again bathed the land of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The cold voice of Hongjun Daozu finally drifted from beyond the heavens, carrying an undisguised sense of helplessness and exhaustion.

"Taiyi and Dijun are yours to deal with; just spare their lives."

"The Heavenly Way will no longer concern itself with this matter."

This declaration definitively cemented Niu Ben's unparalleled status as the number one person in all the heavens!

Even the supreme Heavenly Dao Ancestor had to swallow his pride and bow down in the face of Niu Ben's absolute power!

The sun shone brightly on the earth again, and all the murderous intent in the world vanished.

Niu Ben's enormous, incomparable Chaos Divine Ox true form slowly receded, transforming once again into the appearance of that young man in a green robe and short jacket.

He floated down from mid-air with his hands behind his back.

As countless beings throughout the primordial world gazed upon this seemingly ordinary figure, they were filled with nothing but endless awe and reverence.

He defied the will of Heaven, tore up the imperial decree, and forced Dao Ancestor Hongjun to back down!

From this day forward, the true ruler of the primordial world will no longer be the one in the Purple Cloud Palace, but this green ox in the Hundred Thousand Mountains!

At the edge of the deep pit ruins, Di Jun slumped to the ground, as if his soul had been ripped out.

Even the Dao Ancestor couldn't protect them!

The demon race's last reliance is utterly insignificant in front of Niu Ben!

Donghuang Taiyi huddled to the side, his face bruised and swollen, trembling all over, not daring to even lift his head to look at Niu Ben.

Niu Ben strode slowly to Di Jun and kicked his shoulder.

"Hey, you scruffy bird, stop playing dead."

Di Jun trembled, hurriedly scrambled to his feet, knelt down, and bowed his head low.

"Venerable Niu Ben... my demon race is entirely at your disposal!"

Niu Ben took out the Chaos Bell from his sleeve and tossed it casually in his hand.

When Donghuang Taiyi saw the Chaos Bell, his eyelids twitched wildly and his heart bled, but he didn't dare to utter a sound.

"I originally intended to take this broken bell back and use it as a chamber pot."

Niu Ben curled his lip, looking disgusted.

"But thinking about it carefully, my mother likes things to be clean, and it would be rather shabby to have this thing in the palace."

"If you want the bell back, you can."

Niu Ben held up one finger.

"First, half of all the top-grade innate spiritual veins that are mined in the open air in the demon realm will be sent to the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"Secondly, send me three main branches from the Fusang Divine Tree on the Sun Star. Chang Xi just happens to need a few handy hairpins."

"Third, eighty percent of the inventory in the Ancient Demon Court's treasure vault will be sent to my Bull Clan's warehouse."

"If one thing is missing, I'll cut off one of Taiyi's bird legs and roast it for the kids in the back mountain."

Upon hearing these exorbitant compensation terms, which were tantamount to ruthless exploitation, Di Jun's eyelids twitched violently a few times.

This is practically taking away more than half of the wealth accumulated by the demon race over countless eons on the spot!

But seeing Niu Ben's smiling yet murderous face, Di Jun didn't dare hesitate for even half a second and slammed his head heavily to the ground.

"The demon race obeys!"

"Within three days, we will deliver all the treasures to the Hundred Thousand Mountains without fail, leaving nothing behind!"

Niu Ben casually tossed the Chaos Bell into the dirt in front of Di Jun.

With a crisp clang, Di Jun felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He hurriedly hugged the Chaos Bell, helped up the half-dead Donghuang Taiyi, and scrambled through the void, fleeing back to the Demon Realm as if his life depended on it.

Thus, the farcical restoration of the once invincible Ancient Demon Court came to a complete end with the collapse of the Daoist hearts of two Demon Saints and the forced cession of territory and payment of reparations.

The world was clear and bright.

The Tongtian Sect Leader descended from the clouds, laughing loudly, and patted Niu Ben heavily on the shoulder.

"Good lad! Even when I was creating the world, I never saw such a domineering battle!"

"You even dared to tear up the Dao Ancestor's decree! You're something else!"

Yuanshi Tianzun also took the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage and stepped forward, speaking in an extremely polite tone.

"Nephew Niu Ben's Taoist magic is profound and has reached an inconceivable level. It is a blessing for the world to have you in charge of the Xuanmen sect."

The usually arrogant and rule-abiding Yuanshi Tianzun, when facing Niu Ben, even subtly placed himself in the position of an equal.

The Supreme Sage smiled and shook his head, gently waving his whisk.

"Your actions are becoming increasingly chaotic, but... well done."

Niu Ba and Niu Mu led the people of the Ten Thousand Mountains to come out quickly to greet them.

Niu Ba grabbed Niu Ben's arm and laughed so hard his back teeth were showing.

"Son! Well done! Today I've finally regained all the face I've ever had in my life!"

The mother cow was also holding Niu Ben's hand, her eyes slightly red, her face full of pride.

Chang Xi and Xi He stepped forward, their beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration, their hearts completely captivated by the young man before them.
