"System! Open my personal status panel!"
Stronger System: Host: Chi Yu Primordial Spirit cultivation: Daluo Golden Immortal Middle Stage Physical cultivation: Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Early Stage Origin: Chaos Azure Lightning Qi Sand Dust (Peak Chaos Godfiend) Laws: Lightning (51%), Poison (5%), Creation (50%), Chaos (50%) Companion Supreme Treasure: Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus Magic treasure: Void Bracelet ...
"Take a look! All of you, take a look! Not only did This Seat's cultivation rise to Daluo Golden Immortal after crossing the tribulation, but it even jumped two levels straight to the middle stage! This feels great~"
"And look at This Seat's origin! Isn't it blindingly impressive? Peak Chaos Godfiend grade~"
"Huh~ That's not right! Why is This Seat's origin on the same level as Pangu's? Didn't This Seat bloom thirteen grades?"
Looking at his status panel, Chi Yu muttered to himself in confusion.
"Could there be something else I don't know about?"
"Forget it, forget it! There's plenty of time to explore. Hehe! It wouldn't be excessive to call This Seat's physical body the strongest in the Primordial World, would it?"
Chi Yu indulged in a bout of narcissistic self-talk.
"I'm tired. I'll go back to the cave abode and check on Red Sparrow, then spend some time consolidating my realm. After that, Luo Hou should be sending someone over."
After making his plans, Chi Yu waved his hand and activated the Creation Law, concealing the cave abode before stepping inside.
"Huh! Red Sparrow's cultivation has improved!"
The moment he entered the cave abode, an aura of breakthrough at Golden Immortal Peak rushed toward him.
Chi Yu nodded in satisfaction, then walked to another spot, sat cross-legged, and began consolidating his cultivation.
Elsewhere,
Luo Hou sat cross-legged within the Demon Palace.
"Bad news, Demon Ancestor!"
"Speak!"
"Reporting to Demon Ancestor! The aura of the Qilin Clan chess piece has disappeared!"
Luo Hou opened his eyes.
"Hmm? Why?"
"This subordinate was about to send someone to investigate and came first to report to Demon Ancestor!"
"No need! Let This Seat deduce it!"
Luo Hou formed a hand seal!
"Hmm? What is that? A ferocious beast? No, that's not right! A demonic beast? Or the reincarnation of some unknown Chaos Godfiend?"
Luo Hou's deduction was the same as Shi Qilin's.
Yes, that had been Chi Yu's appearance before taking human form—a fleshy ball.
However, just as Luo Hou was about to continue his deduction, he could no longer see anything. The future ahead was shrouded in mist.
"How strange! How strange! This is an anomaly! An anomaly indeed!"
"Wu Yu!"
"This subordinate is here!"
"Go to Buzhou Mountain and investigate in secret. Do not reveal yourself. Return and report the results to This Seat."
"This subordinate obeys Demon Ancestor's decree!"
"This subordinate takes his leave!"
"Mm! Go!"
Wu Yu bid Luo Hou farewell and flew toward Buzhou Mountain.
"With Wu Yu's Daluo Golden Immortal Peak cultivation, that monster should not be able to detect him! Sigh~ It is only a pity about This Seat's chess piece. For now, This Seat can only plant another one."
Luo Hou flashed away from his place of seclusion.
Not long afterward, a young member of the Demon Clan secretly left the Demon Palace and headed for the Qilin Clan.
"It is time to throw Heaven and Earth into chaos. Otherwise, who knows when This Seat will break through that shackle?"
Gazing over the Western Lands, Luo Hou pondered inwardly.
Time passed without measure in the Primordial World!
Chi Yu, having completely consolidated his cultivation, opened his eyes.
"Master, you're awake!"
"Mm!"
"Oh? Red Sparrow, you've made quite good progress!"
Chi Yu sensed that Red Sparrow had now reached Taiyi Golden Immortal Early Stage.
"It is all thanks to Master's precious medicine that Red Sparrow could progress so quickly!"
"Mm! Not bad! It is not entirely the medicine's credit. You little bird have quite decent talent yourself. This Seat's Creation Law is no joke, hahaha!"
"By the way, Master, I vaguely sense that I may be about to take human form!"
"Oh? Excellent! Shall This Seat give you another push?"
Chi Yu waved his hand, and the power of creation descended upon Red Sparrow once more.
"Guard your essence and hold to the One. Comprehend carefully!"
"Yes!"
Red Sparrow sat down and closed her eyes.
Three days passed in a flash!
Outside Buzhou Mountain, dark clouds gathered once again as thunder roared and lightning flashed.
However, the commotion was far weaker than Chi Yu's had been.
Red Sparrow opened her eyes and looked toward Chi Yu.
"Mm! Go!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Red Sparrow left the cave abode and Buzhou Mountain, spreading her wings as she flew into the sky.
Chi Yu turned and came outside the cave abode. Looking at the lightning tribulation, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Mm! Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation! The potential of Hunyuan! At least This Seat's precious medicines were not wasted!"
Red Sparrow hovered in the air, and after a long buildup, the first bolt of lightning struck down.
Like Chi Yu, she had to endure eighty-one bolts of lightning in the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation.
However, its power was far inferior to the Chaos Ninety-Nine Lightning Tribulation.
One had to know that Chaos Ninety-Nine Lightning could heavily injure even Saints. Weaker Saints, such as the future two Western Saints, might not even be able to withstand a single bolt.
In the blink of an eye, Red Sparrow had already crossed the fortieth lightning tribulation.
Seeing that Red Sparrow had not suffered any serious injuries, Chi Yu grew increasingly satisfied.
"Mm~ This little bird is quite good! Hahaha!"
More than a month passed in succession.
After the final lightning tribulation ended, red light burst from Red Sparrow's entire body.
Then the dark clouds scattered! A divine radiance descended.
Red Sparrow closed her eyes and carefully comprehended it.
Another day passed.
Seeing that Red Sparrow had safely crossed the tribulation, Chi Yu returned to the cave abode.
That day, a loli voice entered Chi Yu's ears.
"Master!"
Chi Yu froze and opened his eyes.
Before him stood a petite little loli in a red gauze dress, with flowing golden hair and pink embroidered shoes on her feet.
"Y-you are Red Sparrow?"
Red Sparrow blinked.
"That's right! Master, I successfully took human form! Look!"
Red Sparrow spun around in place.
"Cough, cough! Well~ Red Sparrow, Master truly didn't know you were a girl."
"Hm? Master! When taking human form, one can choose one's gender! Um... Red Sparrow made the choice on her own. I hope Master will not blame me!"
Chi Yu froze!
What the hell does that mean? Why does this feel like something is off?
"Cough, cough! Get up. This is fine too."
"Hehe! I knew Master would like it."
"Uh~"
Did this little bird misunderstand something?
Chi Yu thought.
"Master! Red Sparrow has just taken human form, so I must meditate and consolidate my cultivation first. I fear I will be unable to attend to Master for a while. I beg Master to punish me!"
"Get up! Stop talking about punishment at every turn. Master is actually quite open-minded. Go on!"
"Yes! Thank you, Master!"
Red Sparrow rose and moved to one side, closing her eyes to consolidate her cultivation! Having crossed this lightning tribulation, her realm had risen again, and she was now at Taiyi Golden Immortal Middle Stage.
"It is all thanks to Master. I was once merely an ordinary little sparrow in the Primordial World, but ever since meeting Master, my life as a bird has changed completely. From now on, I must repay Master properly. Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate!"
Looking at Red Sparrow, Chi Yu shook his head and smiled before closing his eyes as well.
Suddenly! Chi Yu sensed the aura of a Demon Clan member at Daluo Golden Immortal Peak outside the cave abode, sneaking around as though investigating something.
"Looks like I cannot cultivate in peace again. Still, this works in my favor! Hehe~ Luo Hou, thank you for delivering cultivation to This Seat!"
Chi Yu rose and slowly walked out of the cave abode.
Outside the cave abode,
"How strange! That aura clearly vanished here, so why is there no trace of it?"
This was all thanks to Chi Yu's Creation Law! He had used the power of the law to conceal everything about the cave abode. None below Quasi-Saint could investigate it.
How could a mere Daluo Golden Immortal Peak possibly uncover anything?
"May I ask, Demon Clan member, are you looking for This Seat?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Wu Yu! He turned around and was shocked!
"How is that possible? He appeared behind me without a sound or trace! Unless he is a Quasi-Saint?"
Wu Yu thought inwardly.
Ever since Chi Yu's origin had transformed after taking human form, he had become increasingly mysterious. Others could no longer determine his exact cultivation realm. Perhaps it was the system's doing.
Wu Yu did not dare act arrogantly, especially before someone he could not see through. Though he was a Demon Clan Demon King, he was no fool.
"Th-this Senior! May I ask why Senior has sought out this Junior?"
"Oh? Senior?"
Chi Yu thought for a moment, then connected it to his own cultivation and nodded.
"Mm! This Seat would like to ask why you were sneaking about in front of This Seat's cave abode. Yet you are the one questioning This Seat first!"
Wu Yu froze!
"Th-this..."
Seeing Chi Yu's determined expression, Wu Yu could only hastily make up an excuse.
I need to get away and leave this place to report back to Demon Ancestor!
Wu Yu thought.
"Reporting to Senior, this Junior was passing by and sensed that there might be a secret treasure here, so I came to investigate. I did not know I had disturbed Senior. I hope Senior will forgive me! This Junior will leave at once!"
Wu Yu turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Wu Yu froze and stopped in his tracks!
"Hehehe! Does Senior have any other instructions?"
"Hehe! To tell you the truth, This Seat is the person you were looking for!"
"You were sent by Luo Hou, weren't you?"
Wu Yu froze, then raised his head and looked at Chi Yu.
"Enough, enough! This Seat does not wish to waste words with you. Come on! Be direct!"
Yet Wu Yu hesitated. Setting aside whether he was a match for Chi Yu, Demon Ancestor had not told him to fight! His instructions had clearly been to investigate in secret, then return and report.
His face was filled with helplessness!
"What? Luo Hou did not send you to deal with This Seat?"
"Th-this... Senior! This Junior does not understand what Senior means. My ancestor, Luo Hou, did not send this Junior to deal with Senior!"
Wu Yu said with a bitter smile.
"Still pretending? Then do not blame This Seat for turning merciless! Hmph~"
"This is bad!"
Seeing that things were going wrong, Wu Yu turned and fled down Buzhou Mountain.
"Tch~ That's it? He runs quite fast!"
Chi Yu did not pursue him. From beginning to end, he had never regarded this Demon Clan member as worthy of notice.
If he made a move, it would only be for amusement.
He watched in the direction Wu Yu had vanished.
"Run! Go back and tell Luo Hou! Better yet, have him come himself!"
Chi Yu sneered, then turned and returned to her cave abode.
"Cultivate. There probably won't be any unusual developments."
Wu Yu returned to the west and, still shaken, came before Luo Hou.
"Demon Ancestor! This subordinate... this subordinate..."
"Hmm? Why are you trembling? Speak!"
"Reporting to Demon Ancestor! This subordinate encountered a terrifying great expert!"
"Oh? Tell This Seat everything in detail!"
Wu Yu then told Luo Hou about what had happened during the trip to Buzhou Mountain.
"A great expert? I wonder which Chaos Godfiend it was. Interesting..."
Luo Hou pondered to himself.
"Forget it! Let this matter end here for now! You may leave!"
"Yes! This subordinate takes his leave!"
Chi Yu's calculations had been sound, but Luo Hou simply refused to play along.
If Chi Yu had known, she would surely have cried out in regret again.
Elsewhere,
the Phoenix Clan had clashed with the Dragon Clan!
It was quite a coincidence!
A woman of the Phoenix Clan had been traveling and training outside when a prince of the Dragon Clan took a fancy to her. He abducted her to the Dragon Clan and even killed quite a few younger members of the Phoenix Clan.
A young Phoenix Clan member who had escaped back reported the matter to an Elder, who then reported it to Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng was furious!
"Dragon Clan, how utterly outrageous!"
She then dispatched three Elders of the clan to the Dragon Clan to demand an explanation.
By sheer coincidence, Zu Long had entered seclusion.
The matter was handed over to an Elder, but that Elder had been possessed by a pawn sent by Luo Hou.
Not only did the negotiations fail, but the two clans also broke out into war.
One Elder died, while two more Elders were injured and fled back to the Phoenix Clan.
Yuan Feng was completely enraged!
She personally led her forces to the Dragon Clan.
"Zu Long! Get out here!"
She shouted for a long while without seeing Zu Long. Little did she know that Luo Hou had orchestrated it all. He had secretly set up a shielding formation around Zu Long's seclusion site, making any disturbance from the outside utterly useless.
Boom!
Divine fire descended upon the Dragon Clan's territory.
Then war erupted, and cries of slaughter filled the air.
Several Dragon Clan Elders joined forces against Yuan Feng, but how could they possibly be a match for Yuan Feng, a peak Quasi-Saint? After only a few exchanges, the Dragon Clan fell into a disadvantage.
Luo Hou cackled from not far away!
He then flashed over to Zu Long's seclusion site.
"The time has come!"
In a flash, he appeared before Zu Long, then shouted at him in apparent panic.
"Fellow daoist Zu Long! Wake up! Something terrible has happened to your Dragon Clan!"
Zu Long opened his eyes!
"Hmm? Fellow daoist Luo Hou, why are you here?"
"Never mind that for now! Something terrible has happened to your Dragon Clan. Hurry and leave seclusion to take a look!"
"Hmm? What?"
Zu Long then vanished from the seclusion site in a flash.
Luo Hou grinned. Having achieved his goal, he flashed away from the Dragon Clan.
When Zu Long emerged and saw Dragon Clan corpses strewn everywhere, along with the Phoenix Clan still fighting, he gritted his teeth in fury.
"Yuan Feng! You actually took advantage of my seclusion to invade my Dragon Clan!"
Yuan Feng turned to look!
"You worm, you finally decided to show yourself? Tell me! Why did you abduct a descendant of my Phoenix Clan and slaughter our younger generation?"
At that moment, the pawn Elder stepped forward.
"Yuan Feng! When did our clan ever abduct your descendant or slaughter your Phoenix Clan's younger generation? You invaded our clan without discerning right from wrong. Is this the excuse you came up with? Your Phoenix Clan has likely coveted sole dominion over the Primordial World for a long time! We cannot let you leave alive today!"
Zu Long flew into a complete rage upon hearing this!
He immediately revealed his true form and began fighting Yuan Feng.
The war between the two clans became increasingly uncontrollable.
The war between the Dragon and Phoenix Clans completely ignited the fuse of the Dragon-Han Calamity.
The Dragon-Han Calamity erupted!
