Trouble Arrives

The Myriad Dao Creation Divine Light took the Three Thousand Great Daos as its foundation, replacing the position of the Yin-Yang Great Dao and empowering the Way of Creation to achieve an effect that destroyed the very basis of material existence on the level of creation.

Fang Xun's expression remained blank as he struck downward with his palm.

"Roar!" The Fierce Beast was equally ferocious. Rather than retreating, it charged about wildly with its mysterious innate divine ability.

Fang Xun, who intended to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, naturally welcomed it. Stepping upon the nodes of the Great Dao and following the veins of Time-Space, he closed in. He vanished, transcending heaven and earth while blending with the world, leaving no trace behind.

When he reappeared, his palm had already landed upon one of its long horns.

The Myriad Dao Creation Divine Light reached its most dazzling state, blooming with boundless radiance and rosy splendor, bringing magnificent destruction.

Hiss!

After a soft sound, all light and noise converged into a single point. It was a ball of light in Fang Xun's hand.

Within the ball of light were four long horns of different colors, the most precious parts of that Fierce Beast. They could likely be used to comprehend its innate divine ability.

Or he could simply refine those long horns into a Spiritual Treasure. A Postcelestial Supreme Treasure was practically guaranteed, and with the Qiankun Cauldron's ability to return the postcelestial to the innate, he might even refine an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Unfortunately, I'm terrible at Artifact Refining. What I'm best at is the Hundred Arts of Cultivation from Shrouding the Heavens..."

Fang Xun shook his head. It was not that Shrouding the Heavens lacked Hundred Arts of Cultivation, but they were primitive and straightforward enough for anyone to master. They were the most popular school among the current Human Race.

Leaving aside everything else, refining a Lifebound Artifact was excellent, and even Fang Xun could make use of it.

"Greetings, Dao Friends. Since you wish to watch, why not show yourselves?" Fang Xun put away the four long horns and calmly looked around.

The chicken was dead. It was time for the monkeys to come out for a stroll.

At that moment, another savage aura emerged from the void. It was another Fierce Beast affiliated with the Demon Race!

With the Great Contention Era beginning, Di Jun had already begun expanding the Demon Race regardless of the consequences, even accepting Fierce Beasts like these that were nothing but a drag on its fortune.

Hmm... if it had not been mentioned, Fang Xun would have forgotten that he had once stayed in the Demon Heavenly Court for three thousand Yuan Hui and comprehended the Three Thousand Dao Fruits.

Thus, there were still some people in the Demon Heavenly Court who knew him and considered him a member of the Demon Race.

"Who are you?" Fang Xun looked at the bizarrely shaped demon, unable to recall it for the moment.

With the memory of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he naturally would not forget anyone. That meant he truly did not know it.

The arriving demon froze for an instant upon hearing this. It had never expected Fang Xun not to recognize him.

"I am Ghost Car!" the nine-headed bird Ghost Car said in a deep voice.

Ghost Car, one of the future Ten Demon Saints? Fang Xun's thoughts stirred, and he was somewhat surprised.

Of course, the current Demon Race was still far from its peak. The title of Ten Demon Saints had not yet spread, and even the Ghost Car before him had not attained Da Luo. It was merely at the perfected realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Since Dao Friend Ghost Car knows me, you should naturally also know the Human Race's situation." Fang Xun nodded slightly to this great Demon Race general.

Ghost Car's expression darkened. How could he not know the Human Race's situation?

If not for their wariness of Fu Emperor and the Empress Wa who existed in name only, the Demon Race would have long dispatched troops to exterminate the Human Race.

Ever since their creation, the Human Race had displayed the bearing of overlords. To both the Demon Race and the Witch Clan, they were thorns in the eye and flesh thorns.

Thus, even under the deterrence of the two Demon Race emperors, many demon generals still held immense hostility toward the Human Race.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal Fierce Beast just now had been sent by them to keep watch over the Human Race.

However, that Fierce Beast had grown accustomed to brutality and developed the urge to eat humans, so Fang Xun had directly killed it.

"My Teacher ordered me to protect the Human Race. If you dare touch them, you become my enemy. What, Dao Friend Ghost Car? Do you wish to have a bout with me?"

Fang Xun appeared utterly at ease, completely unconcerned about fighting another battle.

So long as Da Luo did not appear, he feared no one.

"Haha! You mixed-feathered bird, stop trying to claim kinship! Dao Friend Xuansu and Empress Nuwa are not part of your Demon Race. Killing you would be no problem!"

Laughter rang out from the void as a Giant strode over. Two yellow snakes were threaded through his ears, and he held a Peachwood Staff in his hand.

"Kuafu?!" Ghost Car faced a formidable enemy. All nine of his heads stared fixedly at the Giant.

"Kuafu..." Another famous figure had appeared. Fang Xun shook his head. The Human Race was currently a vortex at the center of the Primordial Wilderness, drawing high-level fighters from both the Witch and Demon Tribes.

Those Da Luo figures were likely watching as well.

"So, who else is there?" During the Witch-Demon standoff, Fang Xun turned to glance toward the Human Race's ancestral land.

"Who else is there?" Hong Yi, who was within Shouyang Mountain in the Human Race's ancestral land, asked the same question.

The three Human Ancestors had tensed their bodies. Too little time had passed, and their cultivation had been bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. They were still Golden Immortals and had failed to advance further.

"Yi Zi, the Guardian..." Flames blazed fiercely in Suiren Shi's eyes.

"No need to worry. Cultivate well. I'll go out for a while." Hong Yi's figure flashed away, leaving the three Human Ancestors staring at one another.

"This is the last time!" Suiren Shi remained silent for a long time before forcing out those words through gritted teeth.

As Human Ancestors, yet unable to protect the Human Race—they had failed the Human Race! They had failed Empress Nuwa!

"Indeed, Empress Nuwa has already established the spirit of the Human Race." Hong Yi sensed it and nodded slightly.

Back when Empress Nuwa created humans, she had made the wish that they would strive tirelessly for self-improvement. Now, it was beginning to show.

"Still, I haven't fought in a million years..." Hong Yi strolled forward leisurely as streams of immortal energy converged, forming scenes of endless phenomena. It was the bustling mortal world of the Human Race, and also the Heavenly Net of Yi Dao.

"Greetings, Dao Friend. The Human Race is where my Dao Fruit lies, so nothing may happen to it." Hong Yi reached out and grasped, as though he wished to seize the world in his hand. Yi Dao runes spread across heaven and earth like a vast net, controlling the destinies of all living beings.

"You aren't a Taiyi?" Hong Yi tilted his head and happened to see a Daoist who revealed himself within the Heavenly Net.

The Daoist had white hair and a withered face. He stood there, yet did not exist. His state was exceedingly strange.

"Yinguo turned to nothingness? Whose Da Luo avatar are you? Empress Nuwa is watching this place."

This Daoist was clearly not an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal, but the disguise of some great figure—a Taiyi avatar severed from them.

"You aren't Da Luo either." The old Daoist looked at Hong Yi, making no attempt to conceal his confusion. If you were not a Great Luo Supreme, how could you detect Da Luo's Yinguo methods?

"So that's it. An avatar severed from its Da Luo Yinguo." Yi Dao runes flickered in Hong Yi's eyes. After several moments, he confirmed the newcomer's circumstances.

Having severed the Yinguo, it naturally could not be tracked, but neither could it use the power of that Great Luo Supreme. Otherwise, Empress Nuwa would naturally seek it out to settle the Yinguo.

"You're very strange." The old Daoist's expression finally changed as he stared solemnly at Hong Yi.
