Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 74 The Three Ancestors of Rat Extermination Emerge from Seclusion

The human tribes of Huangsha Valley, threatened by a powerful demon, were forced to migrate to their ancestral homeland. However, the Great King of Huangsha would not let them off so easily. He laid down a sand barrier around the tribe, intending to keep the humans as food. Left with no other choice, the tribes of Huangsha Valley pooled their resources to create an opening and sent people to their ancestral homeland for help.

Fortunately, Huangsha Valley was not far from the ancestral land. More than a month later, the people who sought help arrived at the ancestral land, and Lei Ming also learned about the matter.

"The great demon devoured thousands of humans and even used magic to trap your entire tribe?" Lei Ming was extremely surprised when he heard this news, as the demons he had encountered before had never used magic.

"Lei Zu, that great demon eats three hundred people every day! Please, please save us!" the person cried, kneeling on the ground.

"We're going back right now!"

……

The human tribe was tightly surrounded by sand curtains on all sides. The awakened Sand King descended once more, filling the humans below with immense fear.

"It's feeding time again," said the Sand King. A giant mouth made of sand appeared above the tribe. The mouth opened, and hundreds of people below flew up and were swallowed by the giant mouth.

"Fight him!" roared a burly human who flew towards the giant maw. He burned his essence blood and reversed his spiritual power, exploding with a bang. The burly man was a Core Formation cultivator, and the power of his self-destruction was comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator's attack, but it did not harm the Yellow Sand King in the slightest.

"You ants dare to disobey!" The Sand King roared in fury. Sand swirled in the sky and fell, like sharp knives, slicing thousands of humans into a bloody mist. The giant maw above sucked in all the blood mist.

"It tastes even better this way!" King Huangsha laughed loudly.

When Lei Ming arrived, he only saw a sand curtain stretching for tens of miles. His divine eye pierced through the sand curtain and saw the scene of the Yellow Sand King devouring the human race.

"Damn demons!" Lei Ming roared in fury, and with a flash of Five Elements Divine Light, he swept away all the endless yellow sand.

The Sand King was startled and immediately fled. He only stopped when he saw the thunder.

"A Celestial Immortal of the Human Race!" King Huangsha was extremely surprised. He knew that the human race had only existed for a thousand years, yet a Celestial Immortal had already emerged!

"Go down and take care of your people. Today I will definitely avenge you!" Lei Ming told the people of Huangsha Valley to leave, and then went to Huangsha King.

The Yellow Sand King, seeing the thunder's fierce approach, showed no fear whatsoever.

"These people are too weak to be palatable. You are a Celestial Immortal of the Human Race, so you should be able to replenish your strength much better." King Huangsha sneered, looking at Lei Ming as if he were food.

Lei Ming had already sentenced the other party to death in his heart, too lazy to talk to him. A golden light shot out, slashing towards the Sand King. The Sand King opened his mouth and spat out a giant dragon made of yellow sand that pounced towards the golden light. The golden light entered the sand dragon's body, weaving through it, and in a moment it severed the sand dragon.

The Sand King was even more surprised. He was a sand rat who had attained enlightenment, and manipulating sand was his talent. Even demons of the same level would have to put up a fight against his sand monster.

"What a magnificent treasure!" King Huangsha's eyes lit up when he saw Lei Ming's flying sword. This flying sword was forged by Lei Ming using the power of the five elements and infused with merit. Although it was not as powerful as the Demon-Binding Net, it was still very strong.

"I want this sword!" the Sand King shouted. Endless yellow sand surged from the ground, transforming into giant rats thousands of meters tall, and the Sand King hid among them. The giant rats roared at the thunder and slammed down with their forelimbs, their power terrifying.

Lei Ming dared not underestimate his opponent. With a flash of light, Lei Ming disappeared from his original spot, dodging the giant rat's attack, and reappeared behind the giant rat.

Whoosh! The Earth Element Divine Light swept over the giant rat, instantly shrinking it. The Sand King was enraged and lashed out at Lei Ming with its tail, but Lei Ming used the Earth Element Divine Light again, directly brushing away the sand-formed rat tail.

Above the giant rat, yellow light flashed continuously. With each flash, the giant rat's body shrank. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the yellow sand surrounding the Yellow Sand King was absorbed into the Five Elements Space by thunder, and the Yellow Sand King's figure was revealed.

Seeing his innate supernatural power broken, the Yellow Sand King felt fear rise in his heart. He was naturally timid and tried to escape when he sensed danger, but Lei Ming did not give him the chance, summoning the Demon-Binding Net to block the way ahead.

A fierce glint flashed in the Yellow Sand King's eyes. He took out a palm-sized incense burner, blew into it, and the spiritual sand within swirled towards Lei Ming. This spiritual sand had been condensed by the Yellow Sand King over tens of thousands of years, each grain weighing tens of thousands of pounds! The spiritual sand formed a storm, one that even a True Immortal would not dare to directly confront!

As the spirit sand swirled in, a five-colored light screen appeared in front of Lei Ming. The Five Elements Divine Light continuously diminished the power of the spirit sand, eventually drawing it into the Five Elements Space.

The Sand King was truly panicked. This spiritual sand was his life-saving magic, and he never expected it to be taken away by Lei Ming!

Lei Ming snorted coldly, and the Demon-Binding Net descended. The Sand King immediately transformed into a sand rat over two meters long, preparing to burrow into the desert and escape. The sand rat moved extremely fast, and the Demon-Binding Net couldn't catch up.

Lei Ming was prepared for this, and he stepped forward and grabbed the gerbil's tail.

"Five Emperors' Dharma Body!" Thunder roared, growing ten feet tall, and forcefully lifted the sand rat up. The Demon-Binding Net instantly descended, tightly binding the sand rat!

"Spare me!" King Huangsha cried, begging for mercy as he felt his power sealed by the demon-binding net. Lei Ming ignored him completely, smashing his head with a single palm strike. King Huangsha's primordial spirit tried to escape, but was also severed by Lei Ming's flying sword. With the once ferocious King Huangsha utterly destroyed, Lei Ming had finally given his due to the tribe below.

Despite killing the Yellow Sand King, Lei Ming was not happy. The Yellow Sand King was too troublesome. Fortunately, Lei Ming's Five Elements Divine Light restrained him, otherwise he would not have been able to keep him alive.

"The demon race's use of magic might be related to the previous celestial upheaval." Lei Ming was deeply worried. The Yellow Sand King was only a great demon at the Celestial Immortal level; above him were great demons at the True Immortal and Profound Immortal levels, and even demon kings at the Golden Immortal level. If such a demon appeared, Lei Ming wouldn't be able to stop it.

"Come with me to the ancestral land," Lei Ming said. The ancestral land is protected by the divine power of the Goddess Nuwa, so it is much safer.

After bringing tens of thousands of people back to their ancestral lands, Lei Ming discovered that the crisis facing humanity had only just begun. Within just a few months, he had heard several reports of demons eating people. Lei Ming ordered the surrounding humans to return to their ancestral lands as soon as possible, while simultaneously exterminating the demons in all directions. Fortunately, the demons in the vicinity were not very strong, and Lei Ming was able to handle them.

"Is this a test from heaven for humanity?" Lei Ming sighed. In such a short time, humanity had already lost tens of thousands of people, and Lei Ming's sense of crisis was growing stronger. If the Three Ancestors hadn't yet emerged from seclusion, Lei Ming would have already returned to Rainbow City, fearing that a powerful demon race might appear there.

The increasing number of returning humans made the ancestral land very crowded. Fortunately, Lei Ming had organized people to build cities that could accommodate these humans. In this way, five years passed in the blink of an eye, and the population of the ancestral land had exceeded two hundred million.

While Lei Ming was still working tirelessly for so many people, three auras shot straight into the sky from the back mountain. The three ancestors of the human race had finally emerged from seclusion! When Lei Ming saw the three, he was extremely shocked. The three were standing there, but he could not see anything with his divine sense.

"Three Ancestors, what realm are you at now?" Lei Ming couldn't help but ask.

Suirenshi laughed and said, "We have already cultivated ourselves into Golden Immortals."

"Golden Immortal?" Lei Ming was stunned. How long had the Third Ancestor cultivated? Less than twenty years in total, and he had already reached the Golden Immortal level? Moreover, the cultivation method the Third Ancestor practiced could only reach the Earth Immortal level at most!

Faced with Lei Ming's doubts, Youchao explained, "After a year of seclusion, we became Earth Immortals. Originally, there was no follow-up cultivation method, and we planned to come out of seclusion. Later, the Bamboo Nest appeared in my spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and I seemed to understand something. I quickly deduced the follow-up cultivation method. In fact, I reached the Golden Immortal level ten years ago. I originally wanted to deduce the follow-up cultivation method, but now it seems that I can't do it."

As Youchao spoke, he expressed great regret. Suiren and Ziyi nodded in agreement, their situations being similar to Youchao's.

Lei Ming didn't know what to say. The three ancestors' fates might not be unique in the prehistoric world, but few cultivators could compare. They possessed great merit and great fortune, so it was not surprising that their cultivation was smooth sailing.

Lei Ming was also very happy about the Three Ancestors' extraordinary encounter. With the Three Ancestors becoming stronger, the human race would be safer.
