Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 8 Chaos in the Primordial World, Liches and Demons Run Rampant

After the Three Pure Ones went into seclusion, Li Yunjing also began a long period of seclusion. This three thousand years was different from the previous peace, as the great war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan had already broken out.

After some calculations, some powerful beings sensed the coming of a great calamity. Recalling the "Dragon-Han First Calamity" of the past, the powerful beings who had survived by chance were all terrified and closed their mountain gates, no longer venturing into the prehistoric continent.

At this time, the prehistoric world had been divided into two major camps: the Wu Clan and the Yao Clan. One ruled the prehistoric land, and the other ruled the Thirty-Three Heavens. As for other forces, such as the Kunlun Mountain of the Three Pure Ones, the Blood Sea of ​​the Styx River, the Wuzhuang Temple of Zhen Yuanzi, other reclusive great supernatural beings, and even the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, they all kept a low profile and strictly prohibited their disciples from leaving the mountain and from having conflicts with the Wu Clan and the Yao Clan.

Although the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan did not engage in a decisive battle, skirmishes were commonplace on a small scale, and every moment, tens of thousands of people from both clans died.

The protracted friction deepened the enmity between the two tribes. In these precarious days, the Wu tribe gradually gathered its members and slowly formed a large tribe led by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, concentrating its strength to prevent the demon tribe from launching sneak attacks from all sides and losing too many members.

Pangu created the world and perished, transforming into all things, giving birth to the Twelve Ancestral Witches. These Ancestral Witches possessed incredibly powerful physical bodies, capable of devouring the heavens and earth, controlling wind, water, thunder, and lightning, moving mountains and overturning seas, and wielding great supernatural powers. Each of them was at the Quasi-Saint realm.

The first of the Ancestral Witches, Dijiang, is the Ancestral Witch of Space and Speed; Jumang is the Ancestral Witch of Wood in the East; Zhurong is the Ancestral Witch of Fire in the South; Rushou is the Ancestral Witch of Metal in the West; Gonggong is the Ancestral Witch of Water in the North; Xuanming is the Ancestral Witch of Ice; Houtu is the Ancestral Witch of Earth in the Center; Qiangliang is the Ancestral Witch of Thunder; Zhujiuyin is the Ancestral Witch of Time; Tianwu is the Ancestral Witch of Wind; Xizi is the Ancestral Witch of Lightning; and Shebishi is the Ancestral Witch of Poison.

Since the formation of the Witch Clan, a large tribal group led by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the cohesion and fighting power of the Witch Clan have been greatly enhanced. In addition, the Witch Clan is warlike and brave. For a time, the large tribe led by the Twelve Ancestral Witches frequently swept across the prehistoric continent.

Faced with the brutal sweep of the Witch Clan, even the various races of the Demon Clan could hardly compete with the Witch Clan. Some weaker races even became food for the Witch Clan and were wantonly hunted and killed.

Under these circumstances, the Heavenly Court established by the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi in the Thirty-Three Heavens has gathered more and more demons. Basically, all the birds and beasts of the prehistoric continent have been incorporated into the Heavenly Court, greatly increasing its strength and making it the world of demons. Jun's ambition has also gradually grown, and he wants to wipe out the Wu tribe and dominate the prehistoric world.

The other great supernatural being heard at Zixiao Palace, under the influence of Dijun and Taiyi, Fuxi became the Xihuang Emperor of the Heavenly Court, Nuwa followed her brother Fuxi and became the Nuwa Emperor of the Heavenly Court, and another great supernatural being, Kunpeng, created the script of the demon race and served as the demon master of the demon race.

Under the five Quasi-Saints, the demon race's Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Fei Lian, Jiu Ying, Shang Yang, Qin Yuan, Ci Tie, Jiu Feng, Bai Ze, and Fei Dan became the ten Great Saints of the demon race. All of these Great Saints were at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and some were even just one step away from severing their corpses and advancing to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Many powerful demons united to form a mighty force that shook the primordial world.

With millions of demons and other races now having powerful backers, the war between the witch and demon races has become increasingly fierce, evolving from individual skirmishes into large-scale, organized conflicts with powerful backers.

Faced with this situation, Li Yunjing dared not go down the mountain easily. With a great calamity approaching, there was no reason to go down the mountain and cause trouble. If he were killed, it would be extremely unjust. As a mere Golden Immortal, it was better for him to stay in Kunlun Mountain and cultivate honestly. Here, the Three Pure Ones were protecting him. Whether it was the demon race or the witch race, they all had to give the Three Pure Ones some face. No one dared to cause trouble.

Over a period of three thousand years, Li Yunjing raised his cultivation to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, just one step away from advancing to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

It wasn't until the third lecture at Zixiao Palace, when all three thousand great supernatural beings of the primordial world left the continent and entered the chaos, that Li Yunjing awoke from his seclusion.

Without ambitious figures like Di Jun and Tai Yi, the prehistoric continent was temporarily calmer. In addition, the Dao Ancestor strictly forbade the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan from engaging in a decisive battle before he merged with the Dao, which allowed the bloodshed and chaos in the prehistoric world to dissipate somewhat.

Although large-scale wars have ceased, countless small-scale wars occur every day, each one involving fierce fighting that extinguishes the sun and moon and plunges the world into darkness.

With a quick calculation and a thought, Li Yunjing's figure flashed and he flew out of Kunlun Mountain. The day for the "Enlightenment Tea Tree" to ripen had arrived. It was worth taking a risk to show his respect to the Three Pure Ones.

During his journey across the prehistoric continent, Li Yunjing became extremely cautious. Everywhere he looked, there were the corpses of the dead Wu Clan and Demon Clan, all mangled beyond recognition. They had not only been killed but also eaten by their enemies, demonstrating the deep-seated hatred between the two races, which had reached the limit of their endurance. A great war was now inevitable.

Having carefully avoided many tribes of the Wu Clan, Li Yunjing was halfway through his journey when he suddenly sensed another great battle erupting ahead.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw a group of witch clansmen engaged in a fierce battle with a demon army of ten thousand. The two sides were using all sorts of witchcraft and demon magic, and the rolling killing intent shook the surrounding area for tens of thousands of miles.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," dozens of sharp arrows shot towards Li Yunjing. Each arrow was imbued with supreme demonic magic, specifically designed to break through all kinds of protective auras. Looking at the dark green arrow tips, which emitted a sinister and eerie light, one could tell that they must also be coated with extremely vicious poison.

"You bastard!"

Li Yunjing's expression changed. He activated the Shangqing Immortal Technique to protect himself, and wielded the "Nine Heavens Divine Sword" with impenetrable force. "Boom!" Rolling thunder from the Nine Heavens struck down, shattering all the arrows. Looking at the broken arrows, which emitted a pungent green smoke after being struck by the thunder, Li Yunjing's expression became even more unpleasant.

"Witch-Slaying Arrow! Heh!"

Li Yunjing sneered. Before he could decide whether to make a move, a huge bear demon pounced on him. The bear demon wielded two large hammers and smashed them down on Li Yunjing, causing ripples to spread through the air.

"You're courting death! I have no grudge against your demon race, how dare you attack me?"

Suppressing his anger, Li Yunjing moved swiftly, instantly flashing behind the demon. With a hiss, the "Great Zhou Heaven Extinction Divine Light" shot towards the back of the bear demon's heart.

"You Daoist Wuna! You are secretly hiding nearby, clearly with ill intentions, trying to take advantage of us. The Heavenly Emperor has decreed that all the billions of living beings in the primordial world have only one choice: join the Heavenly Court, or be annihilated!"

The bear demon was ten zhang tall. Although its body was huge, it was extremely agile. With a swift movement, it dodged the "Great Zhou Heaven Extinction Divine Light". It opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of black smoke, turning the entire area within three miles pitch black.
