Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 77 Powerful Merit Treasures

"This ancestral land of the human race is where Nuwa attained sainthood. I never expected that the human race would be hiding there. Silver Dragon, what do you think we should do now? If we really wipe out the human race there, will Nuwa be angry?" The Crimson-Eyed Demon King stroked his bald head, feeling somewhat hesitant.

The Silver Demon King was a white dragon who attained enlightenment. He was born as a white snake, and through countless battles, he shed his snake form, transformed into a dragon, and became a demon god. Compared to the Crimson-Eyed Demon God, his killing intent was far greater.

"Empress Nuwa has long since departed into chaos. The human race was merely created by her at will, to serve as food for my demon race. If she were to perish, so be it. Even if Empress Nuwa is displeased, aren't there still the Heavenly Emperor and His Majesty the Eastern Emperor?"

The Crimson-Eyed Demon King thought about it and agreed.

"Do as you say. Humans dared to kill my demon king. If we don't slaughter all humans, it will be troublesome if other races follow suit."

The two demon gods, having reached a decision, led their demon soldiers to the ancestral land of the human race. These demon soldiers were at least at the Celestial Immortal realm; any one of them would be a top expert among humans, but among the demon race, they were merely the most ordinary demon soldiers.

Boom boom boom... The war drums of the demon race descended from the sky, their power terrifying, as if the heavens themselves were about to collapse. The sound of the war drums grew closer and closer; the demon army was also approaching.

"The demon race has arrived!" The Third Ancestor and Chishongzi stood at the forefront, with 10 billion humans behind them. In such a short time, apart from the people of Rainbow City who went to the East Sea, only this many people remained within a radius of tens of millions of miles around Buzhou Mountain.

"Human leader, step forward and answer!" a demon with long, thin ears shouted.

The three patriarchs stepped forward, though their momentum was not as strong, their faces showed no fear.

The Crimson-Eyed Demon God looked at the three of them, somewhat surprised.

"I never imagined that a race less than 3000 years old like yours would produce three Golden Immortals." The voice of the Crimson-Eyed Demon God rang out, like rolling thunder. "However, your human race has offended the Heavenly Court and deserves to die. Today is the day your race is exterminated."

Suirenshi said, "Demon God, you jest. With the strength of my human race, how dare we offend the Heavenly Court? The demon race has been wantonly slaughtering my human race. My human race had no choice but to resist. In less than a hundred years, ninety-nine percent of our people have perished at your hands. And you still won't stop there. You've chased us to my ancestral land, attempting to annihilate my human race. You've truly gone too far!"

The Silver Flood Dragon Demon God laughed loudly: "So what if I bully your human race? There are countless races in the primordial world. The races that have been wiped out by my demon race number at least eight or ten thousand, and your human race is just an insignificant one among them."

Upon hearing this, the humans were both ashamed and furious. Many of them took out their magical treasures and resolved to fight the demon race to the death, even if it meant their own demise.

"Our human race was created by the Holy Mother Nuwa. Aren't you afraid of Nuwa's wrath?" Chisongzi stepped forward and said.

A flicker of hesitation crossed the tomb of the Crimson-Eyed Demon God. Although he was a demon god, he was still an ant in front of the Goddess Nuwa.

The Silver Flood Dragon Demon God roared, "You insignificant humans, mere tools for Nuwa's enlightenment, dare to cling to the sages! Today we will annihilate you all! Prepare to die!"

The Silver Flood Dragon Demon God slammed down with his palm, which transformed into a dragon claw in mid-air. The claw had four toes and was covered with silver scales. As it descended, the claw grew larger and larger, eventually becoming tens of thousands of feet in diameter!

"We humans swear to never surrender!" the Third Ancestor roared. Flames, bamboo nests, and hemp clothing rose up simultaneously, and the three magical treasures flowed with mysterious yellow merit, forming a continuous whole that supported the dragon's claw.

"We will fight to the death!" All the humans unleashed their magical treasures, a billion treasures simultaneously striking the dragon's claw in the air. Most of the treasures shattered upon contact with the claw, but the combined power was truly astonishing!

The Silver Flood Dragon Demon God sneered: "How could a mere ant possibly harm me!"

The dragon claw clenched in mid-air, transforming into a fist that struck the golden light of merit. The powerful golden light of merit, like clouds and mist, enveloped the dragon claw. At the same time, flint burned upwards along the fist, the reddish-white flames melting the scales on the surface of the dragon claw, causing the silver dragon demon god to howl in pain.

"What powerful flames!" The Silver Flood Dragon Demon God finally managed to extinguish the fire in his hand. He greedily eyed the magical treasures in the hands of the Three Ancestors, especially the fire in the hand of Suirenshi. "The mere human race actually possesses three merit-based spiritual treasures. It's a pity your strength is too weak. These three merit-based spiritual treasures are mine!"

Just as the Silver Dragon Demon God was about to make another move, the Crimson-Eyed Demon God suddenly blocked his way.

"Silver Dragon, don't be in such a hurry. Take a rest and let me play with them!" the Crimson-Eyed Demon God laughed.

"Red Eyes, you've also set your sights on this merit-based treasure, haven't you!" The Silver Dragon Demon God saw through the Red Eyes Demon God's intentions with a single sentence, and the Red Eyes Demon God laughed heartily, not denying it.

"Who wouldn't love a treasure of merit?" said the Crimson-Eyed Demon God. "You and I are neither innate gods nor demons, nor demon saints, so we have no chance with innate treasures. But a treasure of merit is no weaker than an innate treasure, and it can even suppress destiny. If the Demon Saint knew about such a good thing, we wouldn't get a chance!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Whoever snatches these three treasures of merit keeps them!" the Silver Flood Dragon Demon God roared. He instantly revealed his true form, a silver flood dragon a thousand feet long soaring into the air, baring its fangs and claws as it flew towards the ancestral land!

Not to be outdone, the Crimson-Eyed Demon God flashed with red light, and a gigantic Crimson-Eyed Centipede appeared. Although the Crimson-Eyed Centipede was not as large as the Silver Dragon, it was still over a thousand meters long, and its densely packed sharp claws were enough to send chills down one's spine.

"What a pair of silver dragons and poisonous centipedes! They actually dare to try and steal our magic treasure!" Ziyi Shi roared angrily. Dressed in hemp clothing, he faced the red-eyed centipede. The red-eyed centipede spewed a mouthful of poisonous mist at Ziyi Shi, and golden light of merit immediately enveloped him tightly.

"Die, demons!" The black-robed man unleashed thousands of fine threads from his hands; these threads were his magical weapons. The threads bound the red-eyed centipede, some even piercing the joints of its hard exoskeleton. These threads were extremely sharp; although they couldn't damage the centipede's exoskeleton, they did injure its joints.

The Crimson-Eyed Centipede was enraged. Like the Silver Flood Dragon, it had never taken humans seriously. With a flick of its long body, it swept its tail toward the Ziyi Clan, its two sharp teeth, each over ten feet long, like scissors, swiftly seizing the Ziyi Clan.

A phantom image of a garment appeared outside Ziyi's body. It was the first garment he had ever created. This garment had gathered a great deal of merit and the fortune of the human race, and its defensive capabilities were no less than those of an innate spiritual treasure. Although the Crimson-Eyed Centipede was a demon god, it could not break through it for the time being.

On the other side, the silver dragon entangled Suirenshi, while Youchaoshi assisted him. The silver dragon continuously spewed out icy air, its innate icy energy, which was extremely powerful. Suirenshi and Youchaoshi hid under a bamboo nest, and Suihuo transformed into a thousand-meter-long fire dragon, maneuvering against the silver dragon. The silver dragon was very wary of Suihuo and dared not approach easily.

Chisongzi and the others watched with growing anxiety. However, before the Third Ancestor spoke, no one dared to intervene. The Third Ancestor was temporarily holding off the two demon gods with his merit-based spiritual treasures; other human beings did not possess such treasures, and even if Chisongzi went up, he would only face certain death.

The Three Ancestors were only at the late stage of Golden Immortal, and their magical power was far inferior to that of the two demon gods. At the beginning, they were able to remain undefeated, but as time went on, the Three Ancestors' magical power was consumed too quickly, and they gradually could not keep up with the speed of the Silver Dragon and the Crimson-Eyed Centipede.

The silver dragon was very experienced in combat. Sensing this, it opened its mouth and spat out the dragon pearl. The dragon pearl hit the bamboo nest, causing the bamboo nest to tremble. Youchao was backfired by the magic power and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Silver Dragon was overjoyed. Because of the immense destruction the Dragon Clan had caused to the primordial world during the creation calamity, the entire Dragon Clan was burdened with enormous karma. From true dragons to serpents, all were bound by this karma, not only deprived of innate spiritual treasures but also finding it difficult to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. However, if a merit-based spiritual treasure were available to suppress their fortune, the possibility of a breakthrough would greatly increase. Silver Dragon had precisely recognized this, which was why they were so determined to obtain the merit-based spiritual treasure in the hands of the Three Ancestors.

Although the dragon race has no affinity with spiritual treasures, their natal dragon pearls are extremely powerful. The silver dragon has not yet transformed into a true dragon, but the dragon pearl, which has been condensed for millions of years, is comparable to a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure! The dragon pearl struck the bamboo nest several times, and the Youchao clan gradually could not hold on.

Suirenshi was greatly alarmed and used a flint to burn the dragon pearl. The dragon pearl emitted a green light, resisting the flint fire.

The silver dragon had the upper hand, but it was also very anxious. The power of the flint was too strong, and every time the dragon pearl came into contact with it, it would lose a hundred years' worth of magical power.

"Roar!" The silver dragon roared, pressing one claw onto the bamboo nest and its entire body crashing down. Youchao couldn't withstand it and fell to the ground along with Suiren.
