Primordial Era: The Three Senior Brothers of the Taiqing Clan

"Boom!"

Chains and blades clashed before the eyes of the crowd. A deafening explosion echoed through the sky, and the entire battlefield trembled violently, as if the earth itself were about to be overturned.

"A chain of malevolent energy!" Chi You gritted his teeth as he stared at the pitch-black chain in the sky, shrouded in malevolent energy.

Indeed, this chain is the Turbid Fiend Chain, personally crafted by Chen Qing, specifically designed to counter the primordial spirit, and is exceptionally domineering.

When Chen Qing sent Xuan Du and the others up, he specifically instructed them to be careful to avoid the chains.

Because he discovered that Chi You somehow possessed a primordial spirit, and was only one step away from becoming a quasi-saint.

It should be noted that even after Chi You advanced to the level of Ancestral Witch in his previous life, he was only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, and that was still in his physical body.

Now, only a few years have passed since his reincarnation, yet he has already reached the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he is cultivating both his physical body and primordial spirit simultaneously, which is highly illogical.

If cultivation is this fast, wouldn't quasi-saints be as common as dogs and saints be everywhere in the primordial world?

So Chen Qing was waiting, waiting for the person behind Chi You to appear.

Chi You stared at the murky chain in the sky, his eyes gleaming.

A person's reputation precedes them. Chen Qing's move should be taken seriously. This turbid evil energy is extremely domineering and specifically targets the primordial spirit. I believe no one in the prehistoric world is unaware of this, and he, as the Ancestral Witch in his previous life, knew it even more clearly.

Although it's unknown how Chen Qing forged this thing into a weapon, it's extremely effective against him now that he possesses a primordial spirit.

This made Chi You hesitate, but remembering the instructions of that person, Chi You calmed himself down and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

So what about Chen Qing Daoist? With that important person around, I believe dealing with Chen Qing Daoist should be manageable.

Thinking of this, Chi You roared and his body swelled to a thousand feet in size, his body shrouded in black demonic energy, full of brutality and bloodlust.

The Tiger Soul Blade, which grew larger as its body swelled, gleamed with intense killing intent and cleaved down with force.

The very space rippled under this single strike, and an aura of world-destroying destruction pressed down on everyone.

Seeing this, Xuan Du and the other two exchanged a glance and transformed into streaks of light, flying into the sky to escape. This battlefield was simply not one they could participate in.

Chen Qing poured the power of the world into the Turbid Sha Chains as if it were free.

The chains swelled in the wind, resembling a giant black dragon coiling in the air, exuding a chilling, malevolent aura.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the Tiger Soul Blade struck the chains, sparks flying and a surge of malevolent energy erupting.

The chains trembled violently, but then gradually stabilized.

Xuan Du and the other two also unleashed their supernatural powers and spells to attack Chi You.

In an instant, all sorts of supernatural powers and spells bombarded Chi You. Red Eagle was bound by chains and could not move at all, so he could only passively take the beating.

However, Chen Qing immediately realized something was wrong. The attacks from the group only managed to break through Chi You's skin, causing no real damage whatsoever.

"The true form of the Witch Clan?" Chen Qing looked at Chi You, who was surrounded by demonic energy, with a puzzled expression. Although it looked very similar and had the aura of the Witch Clan, something just didn't feel right.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qing casually took out a gleaming sword and threw it at Duobao: "Duobao, catch!"

Chi You was startled, but after realizing it was merely an acquired spiritual treasure, he no longer cared. With his current physique, a mere acquired spiritual treasure was nothing to him.

Duobao quickly retreated, grabbing the flying sword. Although he was puzzled as to why his senior brother had suddenly thrown him a acquired spiritual treasure, he still attacked Chi You with the sword in hand out of trust in his senior brother.

Chi You was disdainful and ignored Duo Bao's attack without even glancing at him. He broke free from the chains binding him and instead swung his battle sword wildly at Guang Chengzi—picking on the weakest among the group, since Guang Chengzi had the weakest aura!

"ah--"

A scream rang out from Chi You's mouth. A huge wound appeared on his chest, deep enough to expose the bone, and dark red blood flowed out, soaking half of his body in the blink of an eye.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the sword in Duobao's hand.

Just now, that longsword that Chi You had looked down upon had easily pierced through his defenses. If Chi You hadn't sensed something was wrong and dodged at the last moment, he might have been killed by that sword by now.

"The Sword of Slaughtering Witches!" Chi You's face darkened.

At first, he didn't realize it, but seeing it up close now, he recognized it. This longsword was actually the Witch-Slaying Sword forged by the demon race back then!

This sword is specifically designed to counter the physical bodies of the Wu tribe. Back then, Emperor Jun and Taiyi used this sword to cause considerable trouble for the Ancestral Witches during the Lich War. Unexpectedly, this sword has fallen into Chen Qing's hands.

Duobao and his companions were overjoyed. Although it seemed like they were the ones dominating Chi You in the previous battle, they hadn't actually caused any real damage.

With this sword, the situation was different. Thinking this, the three exchanged a glance and charged directly at Chi You.

In an instant, blood rained down from the sky, and Chi You's roars echoed from time to time.

Chen Qing looked calmly at the increasing wounds on Chi You's body.

He scanned the area but found nothing unusual, which left him somewhat disappointed. Had he guessed wrong? Or was the person behind it all not here?

Thinking of this, Chen Qing's face darkened as he looked at Chi You in the sky. He reached out and grabbed, and the entire sky seemed to freeze instantly.

A gigantic handprint appeared out of thin air in the sky, with countless Dao principles intertwined within it, pressing down upon Chi You.

Upon seeing their deputy leader make a move, Xuan Du and the others immediately retreated.

However, Chi You, who was locked on, was not so lucky. Feeling that he had nowhere to escape, he roared and raised the Tiger Soul in his hand high, slashing at the handprint in the sky.

"Boom—"

The Tiger Soul Blade's attack crumbled instantly under the giant handprint. Chi You was slammed down from mid-air by the handprint, creating a large crater in the ground.

After a long while, the dust settled, and everyone gasped in shock. The once domineering Chi You was now lying in the giant pit, covered in blood, barely alive, as if he would die at any moment.

Xuan Du and the others gave wry smiles. This cult leader is getting more and more monstrous!

The guy they couldn't defeat even when they joined forces was so easily defeated by their senior brother.

Chen Qing revealed a cold smile and said, "Duobao, finish him off!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Duobao replied, holding the Witch-Slaying Sword, and walked towards the fallen Chi You.

"Hmph, trash!"

Suddenly, a cold snort resounded throughout the heavens and earth. A figure dressed entirely in black robes appeared in the sky, and an immense pressure, like the might of heaven, swept down upon the heavens and earth.

"Soul Devourer? I never expected a dignified saint to become a coward." Chen Qing spoke as he slowly walked towards his target.

With each step he took, a soaring aura rose from his body.

Two powerful auras each occupied half of the sky. At the center of their collision, space itself emitted a series of cracking sounds, and a massive spatial rift pierced through the heavens and earth, as if to split the entire world in two.

Looking at Chen Qing now, Soul Devourer's pupils shrank sharply, and he exclaimed, "You've become a saint?"

Chen Qing shook his head, his tone indifferent: "No."

It's no wonder that Soul Devourer thought that way. If others can't sense it, surely he, as a saint, can't?

At this moment, Chen Qing was surrounded by laws, with the Three Thousand Great Daos following him. Standing there, he seemed to be a part of heaven and earth.

Aside from becoming a saint, Soul Eater really couldn't think of any other reason or method to achieve this.
