Primordial Era: The Three Senior Brothers of the Taiqing Clan

Chen Qing rushed to Soul Devourer's side.

"roar--"

Chen Qing let out a low roar, his muscles bulging, and veins like those of a blue dragon standing out.

With a sudden tremor, the purple lightning hammer in his hand transformed into a colossal hammer, unleashing devastating lightning power as it descended from the sky. The chaotic air currents within a radius of ten thousand miles instantly dissipated, clearing the entire space.

Sensing this earth-shattering blow, Soul Devourer's expression changed drastically. His aura exploded completely, unleashing his Saint-level cultivation without reservation.

The skull exuded a chilling aura as it rose upwards to meet the attack.

"boom--"

The attacks from both sides collided, and a terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, even causing violent ripples in the surrounding chaotic space.

You must understand that this is chaos, which is completely different from the primordial world. Its spatial stability is far beyond what the primordial world can compare to.

Chaos is the birthplace of the Chaos God, and its stability is unimaginable, given that it can withstand battles from such beings.

At that moment, the collision of their attacks actually shook the chaotic space!

Chen Qing didn't take it seriously when he saw his attack being blocked.

He shuddered, and a mysterious aura erupted from him, surrounding him.

At this moment, Chen Qing stood proudly in the chaos, the chaotic energy retreated, the three thousand laws followed him, and behind him, a scene of all races paying homage could be faintly seen.

He seemed like a chosen one of the Great Dao who had returned from ancient times, looking down upon the world with disdain.

Soul Devourer's pupils constricted sharply, and he gasped. Even after being a saint for many years, he had never seen anyone with such a sight.

The feeling was as if he were facing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth alone, and Chen Qing was the embodiment of the Great Dao that was slowly walking towards him.

At this moment, Soul Devourer's resolve to eliminate Chen Qing hardened. If before it was merely for personal revenge, now he was truly afraid.

He had a strong feeling that if he couldn't completely eliminate Chen Qing, it wouldn't be long before this person would completely surpass them and become an existence beyond even saints.

Thinking of this, Soul Devourer finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a roar, he charged towards Chen Qing.

In his hand was a dark, shiny, and translucent bone staff, as if it were cast from crystal.

A terrifying aura erupted from the bone staff, striking fiercely towards Chen Qing. Judging from its ferocity, it seemed intent on killing him with a single blow.

However, as it turned out, he was overthinking it. Chen Qing remained calm, his purple lightning hammer vibrated, and a powerful force of the world poured into it before he unleashed a powerful strike. The entire chaotic space seemed to tremble.

The hammer and staff collided, producing a deafening sound and terrifying shockwaves that spread outwards. The purple lightning hammer was incomparably sharp, and the law of lightning erupted from its body, while the bone staff let out a mournful cry, its light rapidly dimming.

Sensing something was wrong, Soul Devourer knew something was amiss and hurriedly retreated.

However, how could Chen Qing let him go so easily? He swung his purple lightning hammer repeatedly, each bolt of lightning like a dragon, relentlessly pursuing him.

At the same time, a pitch-black chain silently flew out from Chen Qing's sleeve, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, and coiled around the Soul Devourer without a sound.

That was the Turbid Fiend Chain—a rare treasure specifically designed to counter the primordial spirit, possessing extraordinary dominance.

"Pfft—"

The bone armor on Soul Eater's chest cracked open, revealing a large hole in its chest. A piercing scream escaped from Soul Eater's mouth, and blood gushed out.

He retreated rapidly, fearing that Chen Qing would press his advantage.

However, he had only retreated a short distance when he suddenly felt a tightening around his waist—a pitch-black chain had somehow wrapped around his waist. A surge of malevolent energy instantly flooded his body, eroding his spirit and causing him to stiffen.

Chen Qing sheathed his hammer and stood proudly, his expression indifferent. Looking at the terrified Soul Eater, he smiled disdainfully: "How is it? Do you enjoy the taste of my chains?"

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Soul Eater's face was filled with shame and anger. He had already considered being forced back by Chen Qing last time a lifelong humiliation, but he never expected to be injured this time, and even more so to be bound by an unknown chain, leaving him in a sorry state.

"Chen Qing Daoist, today we shall fight to the death!" Soul Devourer said hatefully, struggling to break free of the chains, but the turbid evil energy suppressed his primordial spirit, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength.

"You think you can take me?" Chen Qing said with disdain.

"If he's not enough, what if we add us?"

Suddenly a voice came from afar. Then three figures broke through the air from a distance, each emanating a powerful aura.

Chen Qing looked up, his pupils shrinking: "Nothingness!"

One of them laughed heartily: "That's right, it's me. Today you're doomed!"

Then Void looked at Soul Eater, a hint of disdain flashing deep in its eyes, and said, "Soul Eater, we agree to your conditions. This kid is too much of a threat; he must die today."

Soul Eater's face darkened, but after glancing at Chen Qing, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, as long as you help me kill this brat, we can talk about the rest."

Chen Qing also sensed something was amiss. He retracted the chains, raising an eyebrow: "Your purpose this time was to lure me out? Then you also fabricated Chi You's cultivation level, right?"

"Indeed. Our Soul Devouring Saint is very generous, sparing no expense to forcibly raise Chi You's cultivation to such a level." Before Soul Devouring could speak, Void spoke up, his tone full of disdain.

Soul Devourer's face was ashen, but he ultimately did not lash out. Instead, he looked at Chen Qing, as if he had placed all his hatred on Chen Qing.

He said coldly, "Since you've agreed, then let's get started, lest things get complicated."

"Make a move? What exactly do you intend to do to my nephew?"

A voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by soaring sword energy.

Four long swords slashed through the sky and fell, followed by a middle-aged figure. It was none other than the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Chen Qing's eyes lit up, and he quickly went to greet him: "Chen Qing greets Martial Uncle!"

Tongtian nodded, then looked at Chen Qing, who was surrounded by laws, with a smile and gave him a thumbs up: "Impressive. Putting everything else aside, just for your strength alone, your uncle admires you."

In fact, Tongtian was also quite shocked when he saw Chen Qing. He hadn't expected his junior disciple to be so extraordinary; it seemed that reaching their level was only a matter of time.

He didn't realize it was an avatar; he thought it was Chen Qing's real body! After all, Chen Qing didn't have this strength last time.

Seeing this, Chen Qing quickly changed the subject: "Uncle-Master, didn't my master come?"

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Tongtian seemed to have thought of something. With a teasing look, he patted Chen Qing's shoulder and said, "Throughout history, the only one who could have six saints come out to surround and kill you is probably you."

Your master and your second uncle are currently fighting two other saints; I've come to support you.

"Six Saints?" Chen Qing's expression was grim as he looked at the Soul Devourer and the others opposite him and said coldly, "It seems you really are willing to go to great lengths. All this trouble just to ambush and kill a mere Hunyuan Golden Immortal like me."

As for why Master and Second Uncle had to block the Sage, it's probably because the treasure had been borrowed by Chen Qing.

"Heh, don't count us in. We don't have that kind of guts," Xu Wu said with a smile, as if he had come not to fight, but to make friends, with a faint smile always on his face.

Well, after hearing what Void said, Chen Qing understood that this was entirely the work of Soul Devourer.

He stared coldly at Soul Devourer, then turned to Tongtian and asked, "Uncle-Master, the primordial spirits of saints reside in the Heavenly Dao, making them immortal and indestructible. Will they die here?"

Chen Qing's voice was like a sudden gust of cold wind, icy and biting. Everyone present changed their expressions drastically, and Soul Devourer's expression not only changed, but turned ashen.

Tongtian didn't care about any of that. He looked at Chen Qing with a strange expression, then smirked and said, "The immortality of saints isn't just a joke. Although they aren't from our primordial world, we are all the same in the chaos."

However, if one is truly annihilated outside this world, the price of being resurrected by the Heavenly Dao would be considerable, and that would be many years from now.

Tongtian was never one to shy away from trouble. Since his junior disciple had asked, he naturally offered an explanation, though he wasn't confident he could defeat a fellow saint.

"Is that all? That's enough." A cold glint flashed in Chen Qing's eyes. He never showed mercy to those who wanted him dead.

"Uncle-Master, hold off those three for me. My battle with this Soul Devourer isn't over yet! I want to see what the saints from other worlds are like."

Before Tongtian could answer, Chen Qing instantly transformed into a blur and charged towards the Soul Devourer. A terrifying killing intent erupted from him, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

Seeing Chen Qing charging straight at him, Soul Devourer's expression hardened, and he rushed forward.

He wanted the world to understand that the immortality and supreme status of saints were not just empty words. Although he had been careless and had been given the upper hand before, that was not his full strength.

The two figures clashed instantly, unleashing terrifying energy. Guided by Chen Qing, their battle gradually shifted to a distance.

"Are you really that comfortable letting a junior fight against a saint?" Xu Wu looked at Tong Tian with a half-smile and said.

"Further words are pointless. You've all witnessed the fighting prowess of my nephew. Since I said I'd hold you off, then let's fight!"

As the word "Battle" was uttered, a battle formation diagram flew out, followed by four immortal swords soaring into the sky, instantly enveloping the three saints. Intense killing intent and baleful aura surged into the heavens. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was complete!

On the battlefield, Chen Qing smiled slightly before looking at the Soul Eater opposite him.

He wielded the purple lightning hammer with ferocious power, unleashing streaks of thunder that crisscrossed and swirled, a terrifying display of destruction and lightning. Furthermore, the murky chains of evil appeared and disappeared unpredictably, attempting to repeat their previous tactics and entangle the Soul Devourer.

Soul Eater was at a loss for words. As time passed, he felt the lightning law emanating from the purple lightning hammer in the young man's hand becoming stronger and stronger, and the chains were becoming more and more troublesome. If they got entangled, his combat power would be greatly reduced. He could only struggle to parry.

"boom--"

The two clashed again. The Soul-Devouring figure retreated rapidly.

Seeing this, Chen Qing did not pursue, but instead put away his hammer and stood up, looking at Soul Eater with a cold smile.

Looking at Chen Qing opposite him, Soul Eater's face turned red and white, making him look extremely ugly.

Then he roared, and a thick black mist erupted from his body, enveloping him completely.

Then, a huge figure slowly rose from the black mist, transforming into a massive skeleton, its entire body as black as ink, with grotesque bone spikes.

Sensing the aura emanating from the skeleton, Chen Qing's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "The remains of a Chaos Demon God?"

Yes, Chen Qing sensed the vast, ancient, and terrifying aura of the Chaos Demon God emanating from this skeleton.

"Gah gah gah, that's right, this is the remains of the Chaos Demon God. Boy, prepare to die!" The Soul Devourer's voice echoed from within the remains.

Then the skeleton moved, and a huge fist smashed towards Chen Qing.

The surrounding chaotic energy seemed to be drawn towards the bone fist.

"Tch! It's just a skeleton." Chen Qing's expression remained unchanged as he swung his purple lightning hammer.

"boom--"

A deafening roar echoed through the chaotic space. Chen Qing felt a tremendous force surge from the hammer, and he was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Chen Qing steadied himself, frowning as he looked at the enormous skeleton of the Chaos Demon God. He hadn't expected this guy to be so powerful.

"Hahaha, prepare to die!" Seeing that he had sent Chen Qing flying with just one strike, Soul Devourer's face lit up with joy. He then controlled the entire skeleton to rush towards Chen Qing.

"Afraid of you?!" Chen Qing swung his purple lightning hammer and transformed into a streak of light, shooting out into the distance.

"boom!"

As the skeleton slammed down with a punch, Chen Qing seized the opportunity to turn and dodge. Then, the purple lightning hammer in his hand emitted a world-destroying aura, drawing an arc of light as it slammed fiercely towards the skeleton.

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, the entire massive skeleton was smashed away by a single hammer blow.

Before Soul Devourer could recover, Chen Qing flashed and followed.

He unleashed the Turbid Sha Chains once more, which, like a black dragon, coiled around the skeleton.

The moment the chains wrapped around the skeleton, a surge of turbid evil energy rushed in, eroding the primordial spirit attached to the skeleton.

Although it couldn't directly cause harm, it greatly interfered with his control, making the skeleton's movements sluggish and stiff.

"Drink!" Chen Qing shouted softly, and the Purple Lightning Hammer instantly transformed into a colossal hammer that could support the sky, imbued with the power of various Great Daos.

He wrapped his arms around the hammer and swung it wildly, smashing it repeatedly against the sluggish skeleton.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—"

A deafening roar echoed through the chaos. The skeleton controlled by Soul Devourer, due to its enormous size and the interference of the Turbid Fiend Chains, moved slowly. Chen Qing seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of blows, leaving it no time to react. For a moment, Soul Devourer was completely stunned by Chen Qing's ferocious attack.

However, it must be said that the Chaos Demon God's skeleton that Soul Eater found from who-knows-where was incredibly tough.

Despite being relentlessly attacked by Chen Qing's Purple Lightning Hammer for so long, only white marks appeared on its body, without causing significant damage.

However, Soul Eater was also suffering. As a saint, to be beaten like this was an immense insult.

After resisting the Chaos Demon God's skeleton several times with little success, Soul Devourer transformed into a beam of light and flew out of the skeleton, abandoning its use in combat.

Although Chen Qing couldn't break through the defenses of the Chaos Demon God's skeleton, he couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Seeing the Soul Eater break free, Chen Qing smiled, his entire figure transforming into a streak of light as he rushed towards him, unleashing a terrifying burst of law power from the Purple Lightning Hammer in his hand.

At the same time, the Turbid Fiend Chains flew out again, like a black lightning bolt, and wrapped around the Soul Devourer.

The Soul Eater, who was well-prepared, charged forward, its skull radiating a terrifying aura.

"boom--"

The purple lightning hammer slammed into the skull, producing a deafening roar. Then, to the Soul Eater's astonishment, the entire skull was sent flying.

Meanwhile, the Turbid Sha Chains seized the opportunity to entangle Soul Devourer's arm, and the Turbid Sha Qi surged in wildly, causing his whole body to stiffen.

Chen Qing turned the tip of his hammer, and the sharp hammer light went straight for Soul Devourer's chest.

"Pfft—"

It was in the same spot again. A large hole appeared in his chest, which had just recovered. Blood gushed out, and the turbid evil energy seeped into his body through the wound, eroding his primordial spirit.

Looking at the Soul Eater so close at hand, Chen Qing's lips curled into a smile: "How is it?"

"Ah—Chen Qing Daoist, I'm going to kill you!" Soul Devourer roared madly, as if he had been awakened.

All that talk about saintly cultivation and quality is bullshit. All he knows is that he has been injured twice in a row by a junior, and in the same place!
