Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Inside and outside the Demon Court, all was deathly silent.

Only where the light screen of the Zhou Tian Star Array was swept by the chaotic divine light remained, with traces of void cracks, silently telling the horror of what had just happened.

The crack wasn't large, only covering an area of ​​about a hundred miles.

For the Zhou Tian Star Array, which covers the entire Demon Court and spans hundreds of millions of miles, this crack is insignificant and can be repaired by itself in the blink of an eye.

But at this moment, in the eyes of billions of living beings, this crack is more dazzling than a bottomless abyss and more shocking than thunder from the heavens!

"Gone in a flash?"

Inside the Demon Court, a Star Lord of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level muttered to himself, his Star Banner almost slipping from his grasp.

He has cultivated the Way of the Stars for tens of thousands of years, and his reverence for the Zhou Tian Star Array runs deep in his bones.

That's an unparalleled formation capable of contending with even a saint!

But now, the figure in green merely raised a hand, and a chaotic light swept across, causing the great array's light barrier to melt away like ice and snow...

This completely overturned his understanding!

Not just him.

The nine demon gods, including Bai Ze, were deeply shaken. Although they tried their best to remain calm, their eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.

That's the Demon Court's trump card!

It is a primordial killing formation forged to counter the Wu Clan's Heavenly Divine Fiend Formation!

Even though it's only activated at the moment and not running at full power, it's still the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array!

Xuan Du was only at the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, yet he was able to break through the array with a single divine light?

Although only one area was damaged and the scope was small, it was enough to prove that Xuandu's strength had far exceeded their previous estimates!

"This child... has become a great threat."

Bai Ze took a deep breath, his gentle fan-waving motion had already stopped, and his refined face was as solemn as iron.

He quickly reconstructed what had just happened.

That Daoist aura that seems capable of sweeping away all laws and returning to nothingness...

"They must not be allowed to live."

The poisonous miasma of Qinyuan spread uncontrollably:

"If we don't kill him today, he will surely become a major threat to our clan in the future!"

Although the demon gods Feilian, Shangyang, and Jiuying did not speak, the killing intent in their eyes was already tangible.

Xuandu dares to lead the human race to besiege the heavens today, and tomorrow he will dare to point his sword at the Demon Emperor!

Such a person must not be allowed to leave alive!

And this moment.

"Buzz!"

A powerful, resounding bell chime erupted from the depths of the Lingxiao Palace!

As the sound waves passed, space froze and time slowed down dramatically!

Throughout the entire Demon Court and the vast celestial realm, all the demons were shaken to their core at this moment, and involuntarily looked toward the source of the bell!

Donghuang Taiyi took a step forward!

He was clad in a dark gold imperial robe, and the true fire of the sun around him was no longer gentle, but transformed into a raging crimson gold flame that burned the sky and boiled the sea, scorching and shattering the void behind him!

In his hand, an ancient and massive bell floated in the air.

The bell is surrounded by chaotic energy, and the inscriptions of the sun, moon, stars, earth, fire, water, and wind flow on its surface, exuding an unparalleled majesty that suppresses all ages and establishes the order of the universe!

It is the Primordial Treasure, the Chaos Bell!

"Xuandu!"

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was as cold as ten thousand years of black ice, his gaze piercing through layers of void, fixed on the figure in green outside the Demon Court:

"Do you truly believe that with the protection of the Heavenly Emperor, you can act with impunity in my Demon Court?"

The sound waves rolled down, carrying the terrifying pressure of a peak Quasi-Saint, causing the blood and qi of hundreds of millions of humans to surge. Those with slightly weaker cultivation turned pale and almost knelt down!

however!

Xuan Du stood at the forefront of the billions of humans, his green robes fluttering, his expression calm.

The terrifying pressure that was enough to crush a Grand Luo Golden Immortal fell on him like a gentle breeze, without even lifting the hem of his clothes.

The Primordial Golden Immortal transcends the Heavenly Dao and establishes its own laws.

Below the level of a sage, it is difficult for any forceful authority to move him.

"Reckless and arbitrary behavior?"

Xuan Du raised his eyes, his gaze meeting Donghuang Taiyi's across the distance, a cold smile curving his lips:

That is incorrect.

He paused slightly, then his voice suddenly turned stern:

"Today, I, Xuandu, have brought my disciples to demand justice!"

"Your demon race slaughtered thirty-seven tribes of my human race, extracted their blood to forge swords, leaving no trace of their bodies!"

"Is this blood feud something you can simply dismiss as nothing more than wanton recklessness?"

Every word is like a knife, every sentence like a sword!

The sound wasn't loud, but it traveled clearly throughout the Demon Court and even spread towards the primordial world!

Countless divine senses that were secretly observing this place were all shaken!

Blood feud... Thirty-seven parts... Blood extraction forging swords...

That's it!

No wonder Xuandu is so tough today, leading hundreds of millions of humans straight to the Demon Court!

This is to avenge the blood debt owed to our people!

Donghuang Taiyi's face instantly darkened!

How could he not know about this?

The slaughter of humans and the collection of their blood essence to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword were things that he and Di Jun had tacitly approved of.

Previously, they had only targeted newly minted humans who had not yet become disciples, thinking they could avoid the karma associated with the Jie Sect.

But unexpectedly... Xuandu was so ruthless, directly using hundreds of millions of humans as a shield to force the Demon Court to attack!

"snort!"

Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly, and the True Solar Fire around his body burned even more fiercely:

"In the primordial world, the strong prey on the weak; it has always been so!"

"Humanity is weak and destined to be food for prey; this is the will of Heaven!"

"Although you, Xuandu, are the teacher of the human race, you have no right to interfere with my demon race!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos Bell in his hand trembled slightly!

"Thump!!"

A grand, ancient bell tolled, suddenly resounding throughout the heavens and earth!

Zhong Bo transformed into tangible golden ripples, sweeping fiercely towards Xuandu and the human race!

Wherever it passes, space freezes, time stands still, and the laws of nature retreat!

In this attack, Donghuang Taiyi did not use his full strength, but he had already used 30% of the power of the Chaos Bell!

He intended to use the supreme power of the Chaos Bell to forcibly shatter the combined blood and will of billions of humans, forcing Xuandu to back down!

however.

Standing at the very front, Xuan Du... at this moment, a cold smile slowly curled at the corner of his mouth.

He had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

Donghuang Taiyi finally couldn't help but make a move.

"Master..."

Suirenshi, who was behind him, sensed something and suddenly looked up at Xuandu's back, a flash of understanding in his eyes.

He instantly understood Xuandu's plan!

That's it!

Using billions of humans as a shield to besiege the Demon Court and force the demons to take action is only the first step.

But the real killer move... is here!

"quick!"

Without further hesitation, Suirenshi turned around abruptly and let out a low shout towards the surging human tide behind him:

"Send the brave warrior forward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a passage was quickly cleared in the torrent of humans.

Ten figures slowly emerged from the crowd.

Those were ten ordinary-looking humans.

There are men and women, old and young.

There was no fluctuation of cultivation on their bodies; they had not even stepped into the most basic Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage.

Throughout the centuries of martial arts, among billions of people, there have always been some with dull aptitude and poor physique who, no matter how hard they try, will ultimately find it difficult to draw qi into their bodies and embark on the path of cultivation.

They were ten of them.

But at this moment, there was not a trace of fear on the faces of these ten people.

There was only a kind of almost fanatical excitement and a resolute determination to face death!

"They're here...they're finally here!"

An elderly man with gray hair murmured to himself, his cloudy eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light.

He shakily raised his hand and touched the long-faded martial arts mark on his forehead, his face full of pride.

A century of arduous study has yielded no progress.

He once thought that he would only live a mediocre life and die of old age in his clan.

But three days ago, when the sage Suirenshi personally approached him and told him about his earth-shattering plan... he agreed without hesitation.

I will exchange my own blood for the name of my master!

He would risk his life to pave the way for his people's revenge!

What glory! What a magnificent feat!

"Hahaha! It was worth it! It was worth it!"

A middle-aged man with a weathered face laughed heartily, tears streaming down his face.

"In my entire life, I've never been able to embark on the path of martial arts, nor have I ever been able to kill a single demon for my people!"

"Today... my life can finally be put to good use!"

Among the ten, the youngest was a boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

He was pale and thin, clearly suffering from congenital deficiencies.

But those eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Father, Mother... Your unfilial son is unable to care for you in your old age and see you off in your final days."

The boy murmured softly, then suddenly looked up at the figure in blue robes ahead, his eyes filled with reverence and fervor:

"But today... I am willing to shed my last drop of blood for the human race and for my master!"

"value!"

His voice was hoarse and strained, yet it resonated deeply.

Ten people... ten ordinary humans with no cultivation whatsoever.

Guided by Suirenshi, he slowly walked to the forefront of the human race and stood three feet behind Xuandu.

They looked up at the increasingly approaching and terrifying chaotic bell, and smiles appeared on their faces at the same time.
