Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 81 Hou Yi's Test

"I must see the Great Wizard Hou Yi today!" Lei Ming was unfazed by Yan Ya's threat. "If you want to throw me out, you can try. If you can't, then you'll have to take me to see the Great Wizard Hou Yi!"

Yan Ya was furious. The Wu tribe people were naturally warlike and easily angered. He took a step forward more than ten meters and his huge hand reached out to grab Lei Ming.

Chisongzi was shocked, but it was too late to stop Leiming. Seeing Yan Ya make a move, Chisongzi gritted his teeth and was about to draw the Great Wilderness Sword behind him, but Leiming raised his hand to stop him.

Lei Ming sheathed the Great Wilderness Sword again and laughed, "Don't make a move, I'll deal with him."

Chisongzi stared blankly at Leiming. When Leiming made his move just now, he actually lost control of the Great Wilderness Sword, which was his natal flying sword!

"Little guy, you asked for this. Don't blame me if I smash you to death with one punch!"

Yan Ya clenched his fist and slammed it down. Lei Ming calmly raised his right hand to catch it. His hand was only one-fifth the size of Yan Ya's fist, completely disproportionate. Yet, Lei Ming effortlessly caught Yan Ya's fist. Judging from his relaxed demeanor, Yan Ya seemed to have exerted no effort at all!

Yan Ya's eyes widened as he continued to exert force, but he still couldn't budge Lei Ming in the slightest. Lei Ming pushed with his right hand, and the ten-meter-tall giant Yan Ya was forced back, only managing to regain his footing a hundred meters away.

"This..." Yan Ya looked at his fist, then at Lei Ming, unable to believe what he was seeing. Chi Songzi, standing beside him, was also very surprised. He knew that Lei Ming was also at the True Immortal realm, but he did not expect Lei Ming to be so strong.

Lei Ming didn't think it was a big deal. Yan Ya was a genius among the Witch Clan, with the combat power of a True Immortal, but Lei Ming was stronger than him in every aspect.

The Earth Witches of the Witch Clan are equivalent to Earth Immortals to Celestial Immortals, Celestial Witches to True Immortals, Mystic Immortals, and Golden Immortals, and Great Witches to Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals. However, the Witch Clan possesses formidable physical strength, allowing many to challenge opponents of higher levels. For example, Yan Ya, while technically equivalent to a Celestial Immortal, actually possesses combat power comparable to a True Immortal. The Witch Clan's small population is precisely due to this formidable strength, enabling them to contend with the Demon Clan.

"Your strength is immense!" Yan Ya finally spoke after a long pause, his gaze towards Lei Ming filled with admiration. It was true that the Witch Clan was warlike, but their minds were also simple. The easiest way to gain their respect was to surpass them in strength. Lei Ming had just defeated Yan Ya with pure physical power, and Yan Ya's attitude towards him immediately changed.

"Can I go see the Great Wizard Hou Yi now?" Lei Ming asked with a smile.

Yan Ya scratched his head: "Well, the Great Shaman Long Qiu said that Chief Hou Yi doesn't have time to see you, but I just saw Chief Hou Yi eating roasted meat and he wasn't busy... But the Great Shaman Long Qiu told me to send you away, and I don't know what to do."

Lei Ming and Chi Songzi both laughed when they saw Yan Ya's honest and simple nature.

"Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you. Just go and tell the Great Witch Hou Yi that if he really doesn't want to see us, we'll leave immediately," Lei Ming said.

"No problem." Yan Ya smiled and turned to inform Lei Ming and the others.

"The Witch Clan's minds are truly simple." Upon seeing this, Chi Songzi couldn't help but sigh. "When our human race was first born, we were just like them, but now..."

Lei Ming understood what Chi Songzi meant. The greatest advantage of the human race lies in its unlimited potential and possibilities, but these possibilities could lead to either positive or negative outcomes. Compared to the Lich and Demon races, the human race's character is undoubtedly much more complex, even now, many different voices have emerged within the human race.

"This is the nature of my human race," Lei Ming could only say. Whether human nature is inherently good or evil, it is always difficult to grasp, and even saints are powerless to change it.

Yan Ya returned quickly, and judging from his smile, Hou Yi must have agreed.

As expected, Yan Ya said, "I told Chief Hou Yi about your great strength, and Chief Hou Yi agreed to see you. However, Great Shaman Long Qiu is somewhat unhappy."

Lei Ming and Chi Songzi exchanged a glance, thinking at the same time: Fortunately, the human race is not as simple as the witch race.

When Lei Ming and Chi Songzi met Hou Yi, Hou Yi was watching two members of the Wu tribe engage in gladiatorial combat with a smile. Gladiator combat was the Wu tribe's favorite game, which, simply put, was a contest of strength and fighting skills between the two sides.

The two witches on the field were both celestial witches, three or four meters taller than Yan Ya. They fought using only physical strength, each punch landing with a dull thud, demonstrating their immense power.

The other members of the witch clan watched and shouted with great interest, wishing they were on the field themselves.

"The Witch Clan is too belligerent." The gentle Chisongzi frowned. He had witnessed such scenes many times, but he could never agree with them.

Led by Yan Ya, Lei Ming and Chi Songzi slowly approached Hou Yi. Just as they got within a hundred meters of Hou Yi, the scene before Lei Ming changed. The gladiatorial scene transformed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones, with blood flames raging in the sky!

"This is Hou Yi's fighting spirit!" Lei Ming immediately stabilized his primordial spirit. The Wu Clan was warlike, and the best among them could turn their fighting spirit into something tangible. In battle, their terrifying fighting spirit alone could suppress the strength of their opponents.

Lei Ming knew this was Hou Yi's test for him, and he stepped forward without hesitation. With each step he took, the scenery changed, with various battle scenes and terrifying pressure all falling on Lei Ming's primordial spirit. The Wu Clan did not have primordial spirits and could not use them for attacks, but their fighting spirit was even more terrifying than any primordial spirit attack.

"The Primordial Spirits of the Five Emperors!"

Lei Ming dared not be careless in the slightest. The five primordial spirits clad in imperial robes joined forces to resist the external pressure. If an ordinary True Immortal were to face Hou Yi's battle intent, their primordial spirit would most likely collapse. However, Lei Ming's primordial spirit was extremely resilient and had been integrated with the Five Elements Origin, thus initially possessing the attribute of immortality. He was able to barely withstand Hou Yi's battle intent.

Hou Yi became interested. He agreed to meet Lei Ming and the others for two reasons: first, Yan Ya said that Lei Ming's power surpassed his own, and second, he wanted to avenge Yan Ya. Hou Yi wanted to see what was so special about the human race, which had only existed for two or three thousand years, that had produced a true immortal like Lei Ming, whose physical body was comparable to that of the Wu tribe.

Up until now, Hou Yi had only used a small portion of his battle spirit. Seeing Lei Ming hold on, Hou Yi immediately increased the pressure. Instantly, Lei Ming saw the sky collapse and the earth crack, space shatter like a mirror, everything vanished, leaving only Lei Ming alone. He was like a small boat adrift in a storm, completely unable to control his direction.

The five emperors' primordial spirits wore solemn expressions, each exerting their utmost strength. The power of the five elements merged into one, transforming into a five-colored canopy to protect Lei Ming.

"What a human!" Hou Yi had unknowingly become locked in a contest with Lei Ming. One-tenth of his fighting spirit transformed into a sharp arrow, which shot towards Lei Ming's primordial spirit.

As soon as the arrow was formed, Lei Ming's Five Emperors' primordial spirit felt a chill run through his body, and he was greatly terrified.

"Is Hou Yi going to kill me?!"

Hou Yi realized he had gone too far. As the Archery God of the Wu Clan, Hou Yi's bow was capable of slaying even a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Lei Ming was merely a minor True Immortal; how could he possibly withstand the arrow formed from Hou Yi's battle intent?

Although he regretted it, Hou Yi did not dissipate his power; he considered it a test for Lei Ming. If Lei Ming passed the test, Hou Yi would help the human race; if he failed, then…

Hou Yi's arrow was indeed powerful. Lei Ming's own primordial spirit power was simply not enough to stop it. Just as the arrow was about to hit the primordial spirits of the Five Emperors, the Five Elements Imperial Seal fell into the hands of the primordial spirits of the Five Emperors. The power of the primordial spirits of the Five Emperors greatly increased, and they emitted five divine lights that shattered the arrow.

Hou Yi's illusion of battle spirit shattered, and Lei Ming fully regained his senses.

Hou Yi was greatly surprised. With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that Lei Ming had just used a Primordial Spiritual Treasure. Primordial Spiritual Treasures not only represent great opportunities but also great fortune; everyone who possesses a Primordial Spiritual Treasure is extraordinary.

Hou Yi suppressed his fighting spirit and also abandoned his contempt for the human race.

Lei Ming took a deep breath. If he hadn't failed to sense Hou Yi's killing intent, he would have truly believed that Hou Yi was going to kill him.

"Humans Lei Ming and Chi Songzi greet the Great Shaman Hou Yi!" Lei Ming composed himself and said respectfully.

Hou Yi nodded: "I have met Daoist Chisongzi before. He is a true cultivator of the Dao. May I ask what brings you here this time?"

Lei Ming said, "I've come here on behalf of the human race and the witch race to form an alliance against the demon race!"
