Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Yuan Zhantian lived a carefree life, but he did not forget to keep an eye on the situation in the Three Realms. Since the fall of Haotian, chaos had appeared in the Three Realms, with demon kings constantly causing trouble in the lower realms. Without the deterrence of the Heavenly Court, these demon kings committed all sorts of evil deeds, often eating people and destroying countries. Human strongmen organized cultivators to besiege those demon kings, and the malevolent atmosphere in the Earthly Immortal Realm grew heavier and heavier.

Another group that Yuan Zhantian paid close attention to was the Wu Clan. After the Wu Clan was born, they wanted to occupy the most core area of ​​the four continents, which was the territory of the human race. In the end, the three ancestors of Suiren and the three emperors such as Fuxi came forward and fought with the Ancestral Wu Clan. Only then did the two sides reach an agreement and divide the territory.

Upon learning that the demon race had occupied Beiju Luzhou, Hou Yi led a portion of the witch race north. Both the witch and demon races had recovered considerably after years of recuperation, leading to another major battle in Beiju Luzhou. However, with the support of the Ancestral Witches, the demon race's Bai Ze could only temporarily retreat, abandoning a portion of its territory.

"The world is getting more and more chaotic. I wonder where the opportunity my master asked me to find is," Yuan Zhantian muttered to himself.

In the midst of chaos, the Daoist Zhunti suddenly laughed: "It's time for my Buddhist protector to emerge; the commotion must be significant."

As soon as Daoist Zhunti finished speaking, the five-colored divine stone on Flower Fruit Mountain shattered, and the Spiritual Stone Monkey leaped up. Daoist Zhunti unleashed a burst of magical power, and the Spiritual Stone Monkey, which had only leaped three zhang high, suddenly soared into the heavens. The entire prehistoric world was shocked by the birth of the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

After the birth of the Spiritual Stone Monkey, the strange phenomena in the Three Realms disappeared. To prevent anyone from influencing the Spiritual Stone Monkey, the Taoist Zhunti used magic to hide Flower Fruit Mountain.

Lei Ming of Liyuan Island also witnessed the extraordinary phenomenon of the birth of the Spirit Stone Monkey, to which he merely smiled slightly.

Decades later, under the deliberate arrangement of the Taoist Zhunti, the Spiritual Stone Monkey set sail to seek the Tao and finally arrived at Xiniu Hezhou, where he ascended Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain was the Daoist temple of Bodhi, the benevolent corpse of the Daoist Zhunti. Despite many twists and turns, the Spiritual Stone Monkey still became a disciple of Fangcun Mountain and was given the name Sun Wukong by Bodhi. Because of his merit in mending the heavens and his extraordinary bloodline, Sun Wukong became a Golden Immortal in just a few decades, which was also the result of Bodhi's secret cultivation. Later, Bodhi taught him the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," as well as the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends, the Somersault Cloud, and other supernatural powers. After Sun Wukong had mastered these skills, Bodhi banished him from the mountain.

Sun Wukong returned to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and relying on his extraordinary abilities, he quickly made a name for himself. At the same time, Sun Wukong also caught the attention of Yuan Zhantian, since powerful ape-like demons were not many.

"Old Bull, do you know anything about Sun Wukong's background?" Yuan Zhantian asked the Bull Demon King on Hundred Battles Peak.

The Bull Demon King was originally the mount of the Tongtian Sect Leader, Kui Niu. He had a past grudge against Lei Ming. Later, as Lei Ming's strength increased, Kui Niu always bowed and scraped before him, trying his best to please him, so Lei Ming naturally didn't hold it against him. After the Tongtian Sect Leader retired from the Chaos Realm, Lei Ming sent Kui Niu down to the mortal realm. Kui Niu, possessing the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, became a king and lived a carefree life.

After Yuan Zhantian became famous, the Bull Demon King, who liked to make friends, wanted to befriend him. During their competition, the Bull Demon King recognized that Yuan Zhantian was cultivating the "Undying Body" and immediately guessed Yuan Zhantian's identity.

The Bull Demon King, being worldly-wise, didn't expose him, pretending not to know. However, his relationship with Yuan Zhantian grew closer, and the Bull Demon King even seemed to subtly consider Yuan Zhantian as his leader.

The Bull Demon King thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this name. I don't know where he attained immortality."

Yuan Zhantian's ears twitched, and he said, "This demon comes from Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou. It has only been a little over a hundred years since it was born, yet it has already acquired such abilities. It seems that it is also a person with great fortune."

The Bull Demon King immediately became interested: "Then I must meet him."

Yuan Zhantian, along with the Bull Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, and a host of other demon gods, arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain. These demon gods all had their own origins. When they met Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong, unconvinced, challenged him to a magical duel. Each demon god displayed their unique abilities, but to Sun Wukong's dismay, he couldn't defeat a single one of them.

The Bull Demon King and his companions also admired Sun Wukong, who, despite being only at the Golden Immortal level, possessed combat power comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Why don't we become sworn brothers?" suggested Peng Demon King.

The other demon gods all agreed, but Yuan Zhantian coldly shook his head: "I will not participate in the sworn brotherhood."

"What, does the War God Demon King look down on us?" the Peng Demon King said angrily.

"Does not swearing brotherhood mean I look down on you?" Yuan Zhantian said coldly. "If that's the case, then I'll look down on you, so what?"

The Roc Demon King was furious, but the Bull Demon King quickly stepped in to smooth things over. He was quite prestigious among the demons and managed to calm the Roc Demon King down.

Yuan Zhantian scoffed disdainfully. He had long seen through the fact that the Peng Demon King possessed the bloodline of the Kunpeng Ancestor; he was either a descendant of the Kunpeng Ancestor or a disciple of him. He knew about the feud between Lei Ming and the Kunpeng Ancestor. If it weren't for Lei Ming's instructions, Yuan Zhantian would have killed the Peng Demon King with a single spear thrust.

Under the organization of the Bull Demon King, Sun Wukong swore brotherhood with six demon gods, and afterwards held a banquet on Flower Fruit Mountain, which was quite lively inside and out. Yuan Zhantian did not participate; he was still pondering his own opportunity.

"Zhan Tian!" Lei Ming's voice suddenly rang in Yuan Zhan Tian's ears. When Yuan Zhan Tian came back to his senses, he was already on Li Yuan Island.

"Disciple greets Master," Yuan Zhantian said hastily.

"No need for formalities," Lei Ming said. "You've been brought back this time because your time has come."

Yuan Zhantian's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Master, what exactly is this opportunity?"

Lei Ming put his hands behind his back and looked at the distant sky: "The opportunity I have planned for you, if it succeeds, you will become a top expert in the prehistoric world. If it fails, you will be destroyed and even I cannot protect you. You should think carefully."

Yuan Zhantian clenched his fist and said, "This disciple is determined to become a strong person, and I am not afraid of any danger."

"Alright, listen carefully, I want you to become the king of all demons," Lei Ming said.

"The King of all demons?" Yuan Zhantian asked with some doubt. "Master, this doesn't seem difficult. There aren't many demons in the Southern Continent and the Western Continent who are stronger than me."

"The demon race I'm talking about isn't the demon race you see, but the ancient demon race." Lei Ming told Yuan Zhantian about the history of the demon race and the great calamity of the witch and demon. "The main power of the demon race is concentrated in Beiju Luzhou. There are ancient giants like the Kunpeng Ancestor, as well as newly promoted quasi-saints like Bai Ze. As for the Great Luo Golden Immortals, there are at least dozens of them. You have to become their emperor to be a true demon emperor."

"Is this possible?" Yuan Zhantian was always fearless, but he also knew the gap in strength between himself and a powerful figure like the Kunpeng Ancestor.

"Nothing is impossible. You may not be as strong as them now, but that may change in the future," Lei Ming said. "To become a Demon Emperor, bloodline is extremely important. Back then, Di Jun and Tai Yi were three-legged golden crows, natural emperors among the demon race. You, on the other hand, have the bloodline of the Chaos Demon Ape, which is also a top-tier powerhouse among the Chaos Demon Gods. Although you only have a trace of its bloodline, your potential is no less than that of a Primordial God, and your bloodline is no less than that of the three-legged golden crow."

"Then Master, what should this disciple do?" Yuan Zhantian made a decision instantly. He didn't want the position of Demon Emperor, but rather he enjoyed the challenges of becoming Demon Emperor.

"That's easy. To become the Demon Emperor, the first thing you need is prestige..."

After spending a few days on Liyuan Island, Yuan Zhantian returned to Baizhan Peak. He gathered his demon subordinates and invited the surrounding demon kings. These demon kings had all been defeated by Yuan Zhantian's spear and held him in high esteem.

Following the methods taught by Lei Ming, Yuan Zhantian integrated these demons into a group, using the ancient Heavenly Court's military training methods.

After that, Yuan Zhantian began to expand his territory. In just ten years, he occupied one percent of the territory of the Southern Continent and had more than a dozen Golden Immortal Demon Kings under his command, becoming the most powerful demon race in the Earth Immortal Realm.

Yuan Zhantian's actions attracted the attention of the Heavenly Court, which was currently undergoing reincarnation. The Heavenly Court was governed by Yaochi, who, unwilling to cause further trouble, allowed Yuan Zhantian's expansion to continue. Seeing the Heavenly Court's weakness, other demon kings also began to expand their power.

Seeing the demon race's actions, the witch race also sprang into action. Some celestial witches led their tribes to migrate to the Southern Continent. One of these celestial witches, named Feng Qi, entered Yuan Zhantian's territory and killed many demons.

Upon receiving a report from his subordinates, Yuan Zhantian personally led his men to attack Fengqi's tribe. Fengqi's strength was equivalent to that of a Golden Immortal, and with the combat power of the Wu tribe, ordinary Golden Immortals were no match for him. However, under Yuan Zhantian's command, Fengqi was powerless to fight back.

Yuan Zhantian didn't kill Feng Qi, but released him. The remaining members of the Wu tribe were all killed. After returning, Feng Qi sought help from the Great Witch, and soon Hou Yi arrived in person. Hou Yi's actions also alerted the demon tribes of Beiju Luzhou.

"The Witch Clan is utterly shameless! Hou Yi actually dared to attack a descendant of my Demon Clan!" Ying Zhao said angrily. "My Demon Clan has finally produced an outstanding descendant; we absolutely cannot allow him to be harmed by Hou Yi. I will immediately head to the Southern Continent to witness Hou Yi's archery skills!"

"Yingzhao, calm down," Bai Ze had to say. "The Witch Clan is powerful now, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches resurrected, while our Demon Clan is a disorganized mess and no match for them at all."

"This is no longer the era of the Lich Wars," Bifang sighed.

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch Hou Yi slaughter my demon race's descendants?" Yingzhao asked.

Bai Ze considered for a moment and said, "Now, only the Demon Master can contend with the Ancestral Witches. I will go to the Northern Sea in person, but before I return, you must not make any rash moves."

"What about that little guy Yuan Zhantian?" Bi Fang asked.

"Let's see what fate has in store for him."

Hou Yi arrived in the Southern Continent and immediately issued a challenge to Yuan Zhantian. This news shook the Three Realms. The legend of Hou Yi shooting down the suns has existed since ancient times and continues to this day; Hou Yi's fame has always resounded throughout the primordial world.
