Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

As Yuan Yan manifested his original form and connected with the innate gourd vine, he entered a state of enlightenment. Three thousand laws manifested and intertwined between heaven and earth, and endless Daoist charm permeated the air, rising in a misty haze. The canyon was filled with a mysterious and profound aura.

Gradually, Yuan Yan gained a deeper understanding of the Three Thousand Laws, and through the Five Elements, Chaos, Destruction, Creation, Life and Death, and other laws that he had already fully comprehended, he also comprehended the corresponding Great Dao.

He gradually developed the Great Way of Reincarnation and the Great Way of the World, and used reincarnation and the world to explain and evolve his understanding of everything in the world. His Great Way of Reincarnation and the Great Way of the World continued to evolve and improve.

Yuan Yan secluded himself in Buzhou Mountain to cultivate diligently, but the prehistoric world was not at peace at this time.

At the summit of Mount Sumeru, the Demon Palace stands majestically. The Twelve-Petaled Black Lotus of Annihilation floats in the center of the palace. On the lotus platform, Rahu sits cross-legged. He is dressed in a black robe, and his handsome face is covered with a layer of bone-chilling coldness. When his eyes open and close, demonic energy surges, and killing intent is hidden.

Beside him, four gleaming, menacing swords floated silently, namely Zhu, Lu, Xian, and Jue, which would become the famous Zhuxian Four Swords in the future.

At this moment, Luo Hou's fingertips danced with demonic incantations, and endless demonic energy and malevolent forces from heaven and earth flowed continuously into the four swords. The swords hummed incessantly, intersecting with a scroll of array diagrams, and the killing aura swept across the entire Mount Sumeru.

He is currently focusing all his efforts on refining the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, intending to use the power of the formation to sweep across the primordial world and attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao.

Surrounded by surging demonic mist, thirteen strangely shaped figures with sinister auras stood bowing before the hall. These were none other than the Thirteen Demon Envoys of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, the most elite under Rahu's command:

The seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire are the demons, as are the six desires of form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma. Each of them is skilled at bewitching people's hearts and corrupting living beings.

Rahu slowly opened his eyes, his demonic voice piercing through the demonic clouds and resounding throughout the hall: "Thirteen Demon Envoys, heed my command!"

"Your subordinates will obey the Demon Ancestor's decree!" The thirteen demon envoys knelt down in unison, their voices sinister yet respectful.

"The time has come. You will go to the territories of the three races, conceal your whereabouts, corrupt the people of the three races, amplify their seven emotions and six desires, secretly create conflict among the three races, provoke hatred among the three races, and start a full-scale war among the three races."

"Yes!" The thirteen demon envoys dared not utter a word and quickly replied.

The thirteen demon envoys accepted the order and departed, their figures transforming into thirteen streaks of black mist that silently disappeared into space and time. They split up and infiltrated the territories of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, the Nine Heavens Phoenix, and the Earth Qilin, hiding in the shadows to begin carrying out their treacherous schemes.

First, a dragon prince's protector was corrupted by demons, who then tricked the prince into leaving the East Sea and setting foot on the primordial land, where he unexpectedly encountered a phoenix maiden.

The moment they met, the dragon prince was overwhelmed by the phoenix's stunning beauty and ordered the killing of her protectors, and then kidnapped, raped, and tortured her to death.

At that very moment, the distress message that the Phoenix Girl had been unable to send out was finally transmitted.

In the blink of an eye, a Phoenix Clan Grand Luo arrived, traversing the void. Enraged, he turned the Dragon Prince and his protectors into ashes with a single palm strike.

At this moment, the Dragon Clan's Great Luo also arrived. Upon seeing the Dragon Prince's death, he was also enraged, and the two began to fight, but the battle ended inconclusively.

However, upon hearing that the Phoenix Maiden had been humiliated, several powerful members of the Phoenix Clan were enraged. They secretly entered the shores of the East Sea, destroyed several innate spiritual springs, and killed the dragon clan cultivators on duty in retaliation.

Meanwhile, powerful members of the Dragon Clan invaded the Southern Continent, seizing several Phoenix Spirit Trees and killing the guarding Phoenix to avenge the Dragon Prince.

In the land under the jurisdiction of Qilin Mountain on the Eastern Continent, many ley lines were broken, countless beast tribes were slaughtered, and the atmosphere of the battle between the dragon and phoenix tribes remained at the scene.

……

As the thirteen demon envoys continued to corrupt the members of the three races, secretly creating conflicts and inciting hatred among them, the hatred among the three races grew larger and larger, and the conflicts became increasingly intense.

The enmity and conflict gradually spread from the bottom to the middle level, and then to the top level. It also gradually spread from the three races to all races of scaled creatures, birds, and beasts, and all the spirits of the primordial world were included in it.

However, the three clan leaders, Zulong, Yuanhuang, and Shiqilin, were able to divide the primordial world into three parts and become overlords of heaven and earth, so they were naturally not ordinary people.

Even though the thirteen demon envoys were special, and the demon ancestor Rahu secretly assisted them and concealed the secrets of heaven, they could not find out who was plotting against them, but they still had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

In addition to the Demon Ancestor Rahu sending thirteen demon envoys to secretly instigate conflict and slaughter, other innate gods and demons in the prehistoric world were also unwilling to be left out, either taking action personally or sending people to do so secretly.

They lacked the abilities of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, and were not as special as the Thirteen Demon Envoys. Naturally, their actions were not always thorough, and many of them were exposed.

Moreover, although the conflicts created by the thirteen demon envoys seem to be flawless, upon closer examination, one can find inconsistencies.

Knowing that powerful beings were secretly instigating conflict, and that the three races would likely suffer heavy losses in the war, the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Primordial Qilin were not fools. They would not follow the schemes of these powerful beings and launch a full-scale battle.

Instead, they suppressed their desire for a decisive internal battle while secretly consolidating their strength and preparing for war. They also left themselves several escape routes and followed the clues to find the person who was secretly instigating the conflict, thereby arousing internal hatred and making an example of them.

Not long after, a Azure Dragon, unable to tolerate the arrogance and domineering behavior of many dragons who oppressed all living beings, raised the issue during a meeting in the Dragon Palace. However, he was ridiculed and suppressed by the Ancestral Dragon. In anger, he led the Black Tortoise and some True Dragons to rebel against the Dragon Clan.

A branch of the Vermilion Bird clan, dissatisfied with the rule of the Phoenix Clan, attempted to seize power but failed and were expelled from the Phoenix Clan.

A member of the White Tiger clan committed an act of insubordination, engaging in a fierce battle in the ancestral land of the Qilin. They were punished by the Primordial Qilin and, in anger, broke with the Qilin clan, defecting from them.

Surprisingly, when faced with the betrayal of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger, the three innate clans did not pursue them to the end, but simply let the matter drop.

Moreover, a group of exceptionally talented newborns, young people, and even Great Luo Golden Immortals with shallow karma or merits from each of the three innate races disappeared into thin air.

At the same time, the three primordial races simultaneously attacked the creatures that were secretly instigating them, plunging the prehistoric world into a bloody storm.

Anyone found guilty, whether a remnant of a clan wiped out by the three races or a powerful individual dissatisfied with the status quo, was exterminated.

Thus, the primordial world was plunged into its darkest hour! All races either submitted to the three races or were wiped out. Of the innate gods and demons who survived the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, only those who joined the three races survived; less than one in a hundred remained.

Only a few powerful beings, such as Hongjun, Rahu, Yangmei, Yin Yang, and Qiankun, were spared.

However, as the three races cleansed the primordial world, their situation did not improve; on the contrary, it continued to deteriorate.

This further intensified the evil energy of the calamity. The evil energy clouded the mind, and the grudges accumulated by the three races would have led to constant conflicts and escalation even without anyone provoking them, let alone with someone provoking them.

Moreover, the innate gods and demons who survived the great calamity of ferocious beasts all possess fortune and merit. Killing innate gods and demons and slaughtering countless races will deepen their karma.

At this time, if a person with great supernatural powers could see through the fortunes of the three races, they would be able to discover the anomalies within the extremely powerful fortune dharma images of the three races.

It possesses an intense, irresistible black-red blood-red karmic force that has almost completely corrupted eighty or ninety percent of the aura and dharma form, and this black-red blood-red karmic force continues to corrupt the aura and dharma form.
