Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

With the help of the cultivation methods promoted by Xuanyuan, more humans embarked on the path of cultivation.

These humans who had achieved success in their cultivation were selected by Xuanyuan and organized into an army.

Guang Chengzi thought that Xuanyuan would lead this army to fight Chiyou directly.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan first turned his military might against those alien races that had once devoured and occupied human territory and slaughtered humankind.

The first to be wiped out was the Iron-Scaled Python Clan. This alien race was most rampant in the past tens of thousands of years ago when it practiced the Demon Core Technique, devouring countless human tribes.

Later, when the rules of the Heavenly Tribulation were established, most of the elites of the Ironscale Python Clan were reduced to ashes by the heavenly lightning, while the remnants fled into the deep mountains of southeastern Jambudvipa to eke out a living.

In just three days, Xuanyuan's army slaughtered millions of members of the Iron Scale Python Clan, including their Taiyi Peak Ancestor.

Xuanyuan's second target was the Sirius Clan!

It wasn't just because the Heavenly Wolf Ancestor personally tried to kill Xuanyuan, but Guang Chengzi severed his physical body with a single sword strike, leaving only his primordial spirit to escape.

In the present-day Southern Continent, if it were to recover slowly and reach its peak, it would take countless years.

Therefore, the Sirius Ancestor chose the simplest, most direct, and most brutal method: "devouring".

The most effective method was to cultivate the Demon Core Technique. Half of the Tianlang Clan and dozens of weaker clans all became resources for the Tianlang Ancestor's recovery.

In order to maintain his intelligence, the Heavenly Wolf Ancestor would occasionally infiltrate the human race, devouring tribes one by one to purify the effects of the demonic energy.

This is why Xuanyuan sought out the Heavenly Wolf Ancestor for the second time.

When the Heavenly Wolf Ancestor saw Xuanyuan, he knew his own fate. He manifested his true form as the Heavenly Wolf and let out a deafening roar. Rolling demonic energy engulfed the mountains.

Xuanyuan only used one move.

He simply pressed down with his palm in mid-air.

The giant palm blotted out the sky and the sun, and the tens of thousands of feet tall body of the Heavenly Wolf Ancestor was like a speck of dust under the giant palm.

When that palm struck down, the laws of heaven and earth suddenly solidified. The void around the Heavenly Wolf Ancestor was squeezed, gathered, and collapsed by an invisible force. Its ten-thousand-foot-tall body was compressed into a cloud of blood mist in the collapsed space, without even having time to let out a scream.

With a single move, the Heavenly Wolf Ancestor, a Grand Luo Realm expert, was completely annihilated.

This scene was witnessed by the alien races watching the battle, and those alien ancestors at the Great Luo Realm remained silent for a long time.

But Xuanyuan did not stop.

He led his troops eastward, sweeping away dozens of alien forces that had once slaughtered humans.

From the central part of the Southern Continent to the border of the Eastern Continent, wherever the army went, not a single alien race whose hands were stained with human blood, or who had developed intelligence, was spared.

Some alien races were furious. Seeing how ruthless Xuanyuan was, they joined forces to besiege him. But now, even without Guang Chengzi's intervention, Xuanyuan was not afraid of several alien Grand Luo cultivators. He even killed one of them on the spot.

Xuanyuan advanced with unstoppable momentum until the border of Dongsheng Shenzhou, where his military might finally came to a halt. After all, the creatures of Dongsheng Shenzhou and the human race did not have much enmity between them.

He did not set foot in the Eastern Continent!

Xuanyuan's war was a purge of the alien races, not a provocation against other forces in the prehistoric world. He clearly distinguished who should be attacked and who should not.

At the same time, in the southwest direction, Chi You made the same move.

After breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the leader of the Witch Clan's aura became even more violent and intense. The dark golden witch runes flowing across his body became even more profound, and his entire being naturally exuded the unique oppressive aura of the Witch Clan's bloodthirsty energy.

Unlike Xuanyuan, Chiyou did not sit in the capital to review documents; he was simply not cut out for it.

He handed over the administration to the elders of the Jiuli tribe's shaman clan, while he himself carried the reforged battle sword and led his most elite shaman warriors on an expedition in another direction.

His goal was the same as Xuanyuan's: to become a member of another race who practiced the Demon Core Technique.

In Chi You's eyes, they should be called the "demon" race.

Chi You's expedition and Xuanyuan's eastern expedition were completely synchronized, but they swept in different directions and used different methods.

Any creature with demonic energy is his target. He doesn't care whether it has slaughtered humans or been an enemy of the Jiuli tribe. As long as it has demonic energy, it is his prey.

The Jiuli tribe's army swept northward from the southwest like a giant bulldozer, terrifying all living beings in its path.

The Bone Demon Clan, which entrenched itself on the southwestern wasteland, had its Great Luo Ancestor's head shattered by Chi You's blade, and its dark golden skeleton crumbled into powder under the impact of the blood-fiend energy.

The mountain demons, who had been hiding deep in the southwestern swamps, were completely surrounded by the Jiuli warriors, and none of them escaped.

Those demon core cultivators were more fragile than paper in front of Chi You's army; they finally understood the terror of the former Wu tribe.

Chi You marched north, crossing the ruins of Buzhou Mountain, pushing the territory of the Jiuli tribe from the southwestern wilderness all the way to the edge of Beiju Luzhou, where they faced the demon race from afar.

Chi You stood on the last piece of newly conquered land on the edge of Beiju Luzhou, with the remains of a Taiyi Realm snow bear that he had just cleaved in two.

Under the corrupting influence of demonic energy, the snow bear was only one step away from becoming a ferocious beast devoid of intelligence.

Chi You looked at the snow bear and sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Beiju Luzhou, and grinned!

He then stomped down, completely pulverizing the snow bear's carcass.

He knew that this snow bear, which was at the Taiyi realm, was raised by the demon race and was used as provisions for important members of the demon race to break through to the Da Luo realm.

Xuanyuan's gaze fell upon the gray-green miasma deep within Beiju Luzhou, which lingered year-round. That was the territory of the demon race, the only place he had not set foot in during this expedition.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that there's no need for him to.

He knew that once he stepped into the territory of Beiju Luzhou, the Demon Saint of the Demon Clan would definitely take action to completely eliminate him, a human with the blood of the Witch Clan.

Otherwise, he would have slaughtered all the demons in Beiju Luzhou!

One in the east, one in the north, the two human leaders simultaneously stopped at the established border.

This sudden two-pronged expedition began and ended almost simultaneously.

Like a silent duel, Xuanyuan faced east, and Chiyou faced north.

Xuanyuan wiped out the alien races that slaughtered the human race, while Chiyou eradicated the "demon" race.

Xuanyuan stopped a short distance from the border of Dongsheng Shenzhou, while Chiyou stopped at the edge of Beiju Luzhou.

Despite being separated by an immeasurable distance, the two made the exact same strategic choice.

Those alien forces sandwiched between human territories were completely wiped out by the combined attack of the two armies.

Those alien tribes that once took advantage of the human race's weakness to nibble away at human territory, those cultivators who once devoured the human race when the Demon Core Technique was rampant, and those races that once stood behind alien Grand Luo cultivators and eyed the human race covetously—all of them have been wiped off the map of the Southern Continent.

Of course, those races that have always been friendly with humans and have never had any "friction" with them are naturally safe and sound!
