Three Disciples Battle Kunpeng, Xuan Yi Protects Humanity

In front of the Human Ancestral Hall, Kunpeng was leading the Demon Race in a brutal slaughter.

The remaining humans numbered less than a million. Just as Kunpeng was about to finish them off, a colossal staff, reaching for the heavens, smashed down fiercely towards him.

It was Six-Eared Macaque and his companions, who had arrived.

Facing such a ferocious attack, Kunpeng dared not be careless. He quickly retreated several thousand meters, evading the attack range of the Mysterious Iron Ruyi Staff.

However, the other demons, unable to react in time, were not so lucky. They were all reduced to ashes by that single blow.

"Kunpeng, humans were created by Nuwa and Master Xuan Yi. How dare you slaughter them."

Shielding the remaining humans behind him, Six-Eared Macaque and the other two glared at Kunpeng with fury.

"I am merely following orders! But today, the humans must be annihilated. For the sake of fellow Daoist Xuan Yi, I will not kill you. Leave quickly."

Seeing that the highest cultivation among them, Six-Eared Macaque, was only at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Kunpeng was unafraid. He ordered the slaughter of humans to continue.

"You wish!"

Kong Xuan unleashed his Five-Colored Divine Light, and any approaching demons were instantly turned to ash.

"Your opponent is me!"

Seeing Kong Xuan's ferocity, Kunpeng launched an attack towards the three of them, and they immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Facing the veteran Quasi-Saint Kunpeng, Six-Eared Macaque and his companions unleashed all their skills.

Six-Eared Macaque transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang giant ape, wielding the Mysterious Iron Ruyi Staff and continuously smashing it towards Kunpeng, each strike carrying immense power.

Great Peng transformed into a massive Roc, its wings spread wide, obscuring the sun and sky. With a flap of its wings, the Yin-Yang Two Qi turned into sharp swords that attacked Kunpeng.

Kong Xuan, meanwhile, unleashed his Five-Colored Divine Light. Instead of attacking Kunpeng directly, he repeatedly brushed against Kunpeng's magical treasures, forcing Kunpeng to hesitate in using them.

Despite the close coordination of Six-Eared Macaque and the other two, Kunpeng, while not defeated, found himself struggling to cope.

However, the humans were not so fortunate. Without the obstruction of Six-Eared Macaque and his companions, countless demon soldiers surged towards them.

Facing the numerous and powerful demons, the human cultivators had little power to resist.

The Three Ancestors of Humanity were themselves surrounded and attacked by several Grand Unity Golden Immortals of the Demon Race, leaving them no time to care for the others.

Reluctantly, the three fought their way back, leading the remaining humans towards their ancestral land.

Alas, even humans have their limits. Facing the encirclement of several Grand Unity Golden Immortals, the Three Ancestors of Humanity finally couldn't hold on and were sent flying, spitting blood onto the ground.

"Will our Human Race truly perish here today?"

Looking at the less than ten percent of his kin remaining, Suiren Shi was overcome with sorrow.

"Roar!"

Seeing that the humans were about to be annihilated, Six-Eared Macaque let out a roar. The Mysterious Iron Ruyi Staff in his hand grew several times larger, and he smashed it fiercely towards Kunpeng, intending to protect the humans.

"You all, hurry up!"

Kunpeng would not allow Six-Eared Macaque to succeed. Relying on his speed, he once again blocked Six-Eared Macaque's path.

Receiving Kunpeng's command, the demon army charged directly towards the humans.

"Hmph! How can these weak humans exist in this Primordial Chaos? Their destiny is to become materials for refining our demonic treasures."

"My soldiers, kill!"

"Kill them all!"

Facing the surging demon army, the Three Ancestors of Humanity closed their eyes helplessly.

"Rumble!"

A large, earth-yellow formation appeared, intercepting the charging demon army.

The one who acted was Zhen Yuanzi.

Ever since Hongyun's death, Zhen Yuanzi had sworn to make Kunpeng pay with his life. He had been looking for an opportunity to avenge him. Upon discovering that Kunpeng was leading the Demon Race in slaughtering humans, he did not hesitate to intervene.

The formation forged by Zhen Yuanzi using the Human Book was not easily broken.

The demons' attacks landed on it, not even causing a ripple.

"Dong!"

A bell chime echoed, and the formation set up by Zhen Yuanzi began to shake violently, as if it would shatter the next moment. Fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi managed to stabilize it with great effort.

Although the formation held, Zhen Yuanzi was panting, clearly having expended a significant amount of energy from that single blow.

"Zhen Yuanzi, I spared your life last time, and today you dare to obstruct the great cause of my Demon Race!"

Di Jun and Tai Yi looked down at Zhen Yuanzi from above the demon forces.

Kunpeng, who was fighting Six-Eared Macaque, saw Di Jun and the others arrive. He repelled the trio with a single blow and then joined them.

Six-Eared Macaque and the others also moved to the front of the humans, facing Di Jun and his group from a distance.

The Three Ancestors of Humanity looked at Six-Eared Macaque and the others standing before the humans, and then at Zhen Yuanzi. They turned to look at their kin, who were in ruins and wailing amidst the debris.

"Our human blood will not be shed in vain. If we survive today, we will make you pay for every drop!"

The burning flames within the remaining humans were ignited. Led by the Three Ancestors of Humanity, they all raised their hands to the heavens and swore an oath.

"Heavenly Dao above, the Demon Race has slaughtered my Human Race. Less than ten percent of the Human Race survivors remain. This is a deep-seated hatred!"

"In the name of the Three Ancestors of Humanity, I swear to the heavens that from this moment on, humans and demons shall be irreconcilable. As long as my Human Race exists, we will hunt down and exterminate the Demon Race to avenge the humans who died tragically today. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

"Revenge! Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

"..."

Countless members of the Human Race responded, vowing to be irreconcilable with the Demon Race.

"Rumble!"

A bolt of lightning descended from the void. The Heavenly Dao acknowledged the oath of the Human Race.

Xuan Yi and Nuwa, who were in seclusion cultivating, were also awakened by this oath.

"A fine declaration of irreconcilability and non-coexistence between humans and demons. Today, I shall annihilate your Human Race and see how you remain irreconcilable and how you coexist."

The oath of the Human Race ignited Di Jun's killing intent, and he decided that the Human Race would be destroyed today.

"Kill!"

With Di Jun's command, the demon army once again charged towards the Human Race.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

A sky-obscuring sword energy descended from the void, instantly turning the demon army charging towards the Human Race into dust.

"Di Jun, who gave you the audacity to slaughter my Human Race!"

Two golden lights streaked across the sky, and then Xuan Yi and Nuwa appeared before everyone.

"We pay respects to the Holy Father! We pay respects to the Holy Mother!"

"Please, Holy Father and Holy Mother, uphold justice for us humans."

Nuwa's expression was grim, and her eyes, fixed on Di Jun, were filled with killing intent.

Xuan Yi felt his heart bleeding. He had been a human in his previous life, and seeing the tragic state of the Human Race now, his anger could no longer be contained.

"Today, you shall be buried with the dead humans!"

Before Di Jun could explain, Xuan Yi raised the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler and condensed a sword energy, attacking Di Jun.

"Dong!"

"Waa!"

Tai Yi reacted swiftly, using the Chaos Bell to block Xuan Yi's attack. However, the difference in strength was too great. Even with the protection of the Chaos Bell, the two were still sent flying, spitting blood, and were on the brink of death.

A ripple appeared, and the near-death Di Jun and Tai Yi vanished. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Kunpeng immediately transformed into his true form and fled rapidly back to the Heavenly Court.

Xuan Yi knew then that the Heavenly Dao had intervened. The main characters of the Witch-Demon war could not die here.

Ignoring the fleeing Kunpeng, Xuan Yi's gaze turned to the Human Race.

"The Human Lord is destined to face this tribulation. You should all remember this day's bloody hatred and cultivate diligently."

"We respectfully obey the Holy Father's command and thank the Holy Father and Holy Mother for saving us humans!"

Led by Suiren Shi, the Human Race bowed in unison to Xuan Yi and Nuwa.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, for protecting the Human Race in this time of crisis, the Human Race shall honor you as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals."

Zhen Yuanzi was surprised, not expecting Xuan Yi to bestow such a grand title upon him.

"We thank the Great Immortal for saving our lives and are willing to honor Great Immortal Zhen Yuan as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals!"

Seeing that Xuan Yi had spoken, Suiren Shi immediately bowed to Zhen Yuanzi, then looked at Six-Eared Macaque and the others with gratitude.

He spoke, "The three seniors have been guarding us since the birth of the Human Race, and have saved us from peril on several occasions. We are willing to honor the three seniors as the Holy Teachers of the Human Race!"

Thus, the Human Race was reborn from the ashes, and Six-Eared Macaque and the others became the Holy Teachers of the Human Race.

"Boom!"

A large mass of Heavenly Dao Merit descended from the sky. It turned out that Six-Eared Macaque and the other two had protected the Human Race, and at the critical moment, they had guarded the Human Race from annihilation. The Heavenly Dao, moved by this, bestowed Merit.

The Merit was divided into four portions. Three large portions flew towards Six-Eared Macaque and the other two, while a small portion flew towards Zhen Yuanzi.

With the help of Merit, the cultivation of Six-Eared Macaque and the other two broke through several realms. Six-Eared Macaque even severed one of his corpses, becoming a Quasi-Saint expert. Kong Xuan and the other also reached the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, just one step away from severing a corpse.

Zhen Yuanzi also benefited greatly. With this Merit, he successfully severed his three corpses, becoming a late-stage Quasi-Saint mighty figure.

"Alright. Since matters have concluded, Six-Eared Macaque, you shall return to Jade Capital Mountain with me!"

That's right! It was Jade Capital Mountain. After Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Dao, Jade Capital Mountain became Xuan Yi's Dao Field.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, we shall take our leave!"

After bidding farewell to everyone, Xuan Yi and the others returned to Jade Capital Mountain.
