The Great Tribulation of the Primordial World

This is proof that the great tribulation of the Human Race will finally end.

He thanked the East Emperor.

"Thank you, East Emperor, for giving me this opportunity!"

The East Emperor knew that his gratitude stemmed from the baptism of power brought about by his own pressure and recognition.

.

Today, the Demon Race dominates Xuandu, becoming East Emperor Taiyi's whetstone.

Even so, Xuandu still expressed his gratitude to East Emperor Taiyi.

Xuandu's temperament is introverted, but his inner resilience is unparalleled.

East Emperor Taiyi's pressure played a significant role in his breaking through the bottleneck today.

Therefore, Xuandu sincerely thanked East Emperor Taiyi for his help.

East Emperor Taiyi smiled upon feeling Xuandu's gratitude.

At the same time, he understood that Xuandu was about to face challenges, but he would still fully support Xuandu's challenges.

Demon Master Kunpeng's actions on the other side of Shouyang Mountain were interrupted by Zhen Yuanzi, who had been protecting the Human Race, intervening.

Zhen Yuanzi had a reason to target Kunpeng.

He resolutely stood up to confront Demon Master Kunpeng's actions, doing his utmost to maintain order and stability in the human world.

The battle was imminent.

His purpose for this journey was to protect the Human Race and, at the same time, to retaliate against Demon Master Kunpeng.

Among the many Quasi-Saint giants, Zhen Yuanzi was the first to step forward. His primary mission was to protect the Human Race; retaliating against Kunpeng was secondary.

During the previous tribulation of Hongyun's demise, Zhen Yuanzi had suffered great resentment, which he kept in his heart.

Therefore, seeing the Human Race suffering, he felt pity and decided to help.

His strength was on par with Demon Master Kunpeng's, but this time his goal was not to defeat Kunpeng but to protect the Human Race, slow down the Demon Race's offensive, and cause trouble for Kunpeng.

Upon understanding Zhen Yuanzi's intentions, Xuandu expressed his gratitude.

With Xuandu and Zhen Yuanzi holding them back, the Demon Race's offensive, though still ongoing, had somewhat abated.

After a prolonged battle, Xuandu gradually showed signs of fatigue.

After confronting East Emperor Taiyi, he chose to retreat.

Despite his defeat, Xuandu's performance had earned the respect of all the Quasi-Saint giants.

They understood that with Xuandu's strength, even having only slain one corpse, he could contend with East Emperor Taiyi for so long, which was already formidable.

Xuandu did not fear East Emperor Taiyi's fatal blow.

At this moment, West Queen Mother appeared in time, leading the forces of the Immortal Court to the battlefield. She seemed to have come for Xuandu's safety.

Her arrival immediately created a tense atmosphere on the scene, with many Quasi-Saints speculating whether this meant the two major powers were about to go to war again.

Some recalled previous wars and the Taiji Diagram that Taishang had manifested, inferring a close connection between Xuandu and West Queen Mother, and that West Queen Mother might have come for Xuandu, who was affiliated with the Daoist sect.

Upon cultivating to the realm of Quasi-Saint giants, everything becomes clear.

As a guardian giant of the Daoist sect, West Queen Mother was not only protecting Xuandu but also acting on Taishang's orders.

East King Duke, who was previously stronger than her, died at the hands of East Emperor Taiyi, so she naturally would not fear him.

West Queen Mother's appearance at this moment indicated Taishang's stance.

Therefore, they could foresee that the great tribulation of the Human Race had been overcome.

East Emperor Taiyi's mind flashed, thinking of the terrifying existence of Saint Taishang, his expression devoid of joy or sorrow.

Di Jun appeared at this moment, announcing that he had slaughtered four or five tenths of the Human Race, which was enough to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.

This was not only to tell East Emperor Taiyi that he could retreat but also to convey a message—that the Human Race should not be exterminated.

They had already slaughtered nearly half of the Human Race, which made West Queen Mother's appearance reasonable.

After all, the Human Race was related to Nuwa's path to sainthood, and Saint Taishang also held a portion of the Human Race's destiny. Naturally, West Queen Mother could not completely ignore this matter.

East Emperor Taiyi's heart stirred, and his gaze turned to Xuandu, praising, "You performed exceptionally well, worthy of being a disciple of Saint Taishang. I look forward to fighting you again in the future."

With that, the battle intent in East Emperor Taiyi's pupils surged.

He then departed, and the Demon Race dispersed accordingly.

This great tribulation of the Human Race was overcome in a tragic manner, and the battle of Shouyang Mountain concluded completely.

The Three Ancestors of Humanity were still somewhat dazed; they could hardly believe their race had survived.

In the past, they were merely weak beings without cultivation in the Primordial World, but today, they had faced the strongest of the Demon Race and survived.

Meanwhile, the divine senses of the Quasi-Saint giants fell upon Xuandu.

The fact that Xuandu, having just slain his corpse, could contend with a peak Saint like East Emperor Taiyi with his cultivation level deeply shocked many Quasi-Saint powers.

They looked at Xuandu, their hearts growing increasingly solemn.

A powerful Quasi-Saint sighed, "Xuandu is the youngest among us Quasi-Saints. As Taishang's disciple, he has already surpassed everyone in the second generation of the Daoist sect. Are we truly getting old?"

Another voice speculated, "Given time, this child might become another invincible Quasi-Saint like Taishang."

After East Emperor Taiyi departed, Xuandu's name echoed throughout the Primordial World after the human race's great tribulation.

He, in the supreme realm of the unity of man and lamp, possessing great merit, fought a brilliant and unprecedented battle with the Demon Race the moment he slew his corpse.

After the human race endured the great tribulation, Xuandu's name resounded through the Primordial World like thunder.

Many powerful Quasi-Saints suspected that without Xuandu's emergence, the human race's casualties would have been even greater.

Facing the power of the Chaos Bell, Xuandu was like a hidden dragon soaring into the sky, indestructible.

This battle made him famous throughout the Primordial World, and he was honored as the Little Dao Venerable.

Although he was still young, younger than any other Quasi-Saint, his strength and achievements could not be ignored.

Xuandu paid no mind to the external disturbances. As the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, he was accustomed to being the center of attention.

After the human race's great tribulation, Xuandu quickly returned to the Eight Sceneries Palace within the Xuandu Purple Mansion.

Once the human race's affairs concluded, Xuandu's act of slaying his corpse sparked heated discussions throughout the Primordial World.

It caused tremendous ripples, both within the Daoist sect and across the entire Primordial World.

Firstly, the second generation of the Grand Pure lineage had a Quasi-Saint born, boasting a luxurious lineup.

Secondly, the human race's great tribulation also allowed the Quasi-Saint giants to see the Saints' attitudes clearly.

Finally, the Demon Race's influence was gradually weakened. Even without Saints personally targeting them, the era of Saints had arrived, and the Demon Race's status continuously declined.

Although it seemed the Demon Race had achieved great victories in the battle at the Immortal Court and the battle at Shouyang Mountain, in reality, any discerning eye could see that while Di Jun and Taiyi killed East King Duke and slaughtered nearly half the human race, Xuandu's rise and the Saints' attitudes were the key.

The Demon Race repeatedly fell short. In the Primordial World, Saints controlled everything.

Di Jun and Taiyi were unfortunate to encounter the Grand Pure lineage; however, the truly unlucky ones were the creators of the human race, Nuwa, who controlled ninety percent of their destiny.

After Xuandu aided the human race, Nuwa's control over destiny dropped to seventy percent.

Li Er and Xuandu's conversation took place in the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Xuandu, having comprehended the human race's crisis, seized the opportunity to break through to Quasi-Saint and expressed his gratitude to Li Er.

Li Er, in turn, pointed out the benefit of Xuandu protecting the human race and obtaining one-tenth of their destiny, reminding him to comprehend it well.

In fact, not only did Xuandu take one-tenth of the human race's destiny from Nuwa, but Li Er, as the sect leader of the Daoist sect, also gained one-tenth.

Li Er unexpectedly sensed the flow of the human race's destiny. He had not taken any action, yet he unexpectedly received a boost in destiny.

He was first surprised, then understood.

Xuandu, as his disciple, had the personal responsibility to protect the human race. However, from the human race's perspective, they only saw those who protected them, not the complex relationships behind it.

The current state of the human race was different from how it would be after the teachings of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. This led the human race's stance at this moment to lean more towards gratitude and yearning for the power that provided them shelter.

Therefore, Xuandu's actions gained widespread recognition and respect among the human race.

Li Er instructed Xuandu, "You need not concern yourself with worldly affairs anymore. Focus on your secluded cultivation and deeply comprehend the true meaning of the human race's destiny."

He also reminded him, "You still have a sliver of opportunity yet to be claimed within the Six Paths Reincarnation."

Xuandu respectfully accepted his master's teachings and indicated he would withdraw.

Not long after, Nuwa's figure appeared before Li Er, her anger undisguised.

Nuwa accused Li Er of repeatedly taking the human race's destiny without establishing the Human Sect, calling his actions excessive.

Before Li Er could respond to this.

This book is about to be put on shelves. I did not intend to post this, but the book will be available at 7 PM tonight.

Regarding updates, I will maintain a stable update frequency so that everyone can continue to enjoy the pleasure of reading.

Guaranteed updates after going on shelves. Nuwa anxiously walked towards the Eight Sceneries Palace, worried that the loss of her race's destiny due to her oversight might cause her to lose her say in human affairs.

Her goal was to seek an explanation or a promise from Li Er, especially regarding the commitment not to establish a sect.

She knew the current situation was different from the previous time she sought Li Er to establish a sect. Her current worry was that Li Er might develop ambitions towards the human race, establish his own sect, and thus take away the human race's destiny.

Li Er understood Nuwa's intentions. His gaze fell upon Nuwa, appearing calm yet with a subtle expression.

Facing Nuwa's accusations, Li Er calmly asked what the loss of the human race's destiny had to do with her.

Nuwa was puzzled by this.

Nuwa mentioned the human race's destiny, though not explicitly stated, implying that without the Grand Pure lineage's machinations, the human race's destiny would not be so abundant.

Facing Nuwa's words, Li Er responded calmly.

His choice to establish and protect the Dao was based on the principles of the Dao, not on deliberately bestowing favors upon the human race.

Nuwa mentioned Xuandu protecting the human race because he himself was human. Li Er held the moral high ground here.

Nuwa directly proposed using the Precious Lotus Lamp for Xuandu's corpse-slaying, but Li Er believed it was insufficient to meet the conditions.

Simply put, although the Precious Lotus Lamp was good, it might not be suitable for Xuandu's corpse-slaying.

Slaying the Good Corpse and Evil Corpse is easy; only the third corpse, one's own self, is extremely difficult to slay.

In the Primordial World, only Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Li Er successfully severed their third corpse.

Even with profound opportunities in the future, Xuandu might not be able to sever this third corpse.

The Precious Lotus Lamp's effect is limited; how could Li Er, holding an Innate Supreme Treasure, be swayed by it? Nuwa, seeing this, furrowed her brows and said with a bitter smile, "Elder Brother Laozi, I only ask for a promise from you, not an oath to establish a sect. There's no need to be so forceful."

Li Er chuckled but did not reply. He wasn't foolish; why would he readily accept an easy opportunity that fell into his lap? Furthermore, agreeing too easily would make the matter seem too trivial.

Seeing Li Er's resolve, Nuwa fell silent for a long time before finally speaking in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, I will add a karma. As long as you don't establish a sect, this karma will remain valid."

As soon as she said this, Li Er's brow twitched, and he agreed.

One must understand that Saints do not easily incur karma.

Karma is extremely precious to Saints, and when used properly during a Great Tribulation, it can have unexpected effects.

Nuwa's willingness to pay the price of karma this time showed her desperation.

Just as the saying goes, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river in the Primordial World, Nuwa at this moment was the best proof.

In the past, Nuwa had demanded Li Er incur karma before she would allow him to establish a sect. Now, she was actively offering a Saint's karma to make Li Er promise not to establish the Human Sect. How ironic.

However, Nuwa was not someone without wisdom; the premise of this karma was that Li Er would not establish a sect.

In other words, if Li Er decided to found the Dao Sect, then the previous agreement regarding karma would no longer be valid.

If Li Er chose to adopt the karma theory yet still insisted on establishing a sect, he would have to compensate Nuwa with a Saint's karma to protect her interests.

However, today Nuwa truly tasted bitterness.

Despite this, she still breathed a sigh of relief because Li Er had finally agreed to certain things.

Although Nuwa believed Li Er might not establish a sect, the future was unpredictable.

The Three Pure Ones were initially inseparable, but they parted ways due to the opportunities for becoming Saints.
