All the humans were overjoyed.
Were they saved?
"Who?"
The Demon King raised his demonic eyes and saw a streak of light descend upon the mountaintop.
Within that light was a young man in a Daoist robe. Beside him stood a burly man, glaring at the Demon King with indignation.
"An immortal! It's an immortal!"
An elderly human cried out in delight and prostrated himself on the ground.
The surviving humans followed suit and bowed down.
Atop the mountain, an auspicious cloud dispersed the Demonic Qi in the vicinity.
Gu Changsheng looked solemnly at the great demon.
Compared to the Red-scaled Giant Python, this great demon was at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. No wonder he could conjure endless Demonic Qi.
The mountain range spanning hundreds of miles was entirely shrouded within it.
Those lesser demons all had beast heads and human bodies.
The great demon had gathered tens of thousands of followers and dominated the region.
In Gu Changsheng's eyes, those lesser demons were not particularly highly cultivated.
But that was already enough to suppress the human race.
Humanity was frail. Gu Changsheng gazed at these tribespeople.
Though they were extremely excited to see him arrive,
there was still a trace of fear deep in their eyes.
After all, there were tens of thousands of demons, while he was alone.
Some humans looked deeply worried, feeling that they could not escape death.
Gu Changsheng sneered. Although that great demon was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal,
his innate foundation was far inferior to Duo Bao's demonic form.
Even so, Gu Changsheng did not underestimate him.
"Heh heh, so you're only at the Golden Immortal realm."
The great demon saw through Gu Changsheng's cultivation at a glance.
Hatred laced his voice.
Boundless Demonic Qi instantly swept across heaven and earth.
The great demon wore iron armor and held a spiked club.
He looked imposing and majestic.
Yet his transformation was incomplete.
Blood Fiend Qi filled the sky like boiling vapor, making the earth tremble.
Demonic winds surged as if they would devour heaven and earth.
The humans huddled together, their hearts filled with terror.
The great demon roared, "If I devour you, my cultivation can rise again."
Gu Changsheng's expression turned cold. Sure enough, this Demon King had relied on some special cultivation method to enter the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
The great demon let out a wild roar, and the Blood Fiend Qi in the sky seemed to swallow Gu Changsheng whole.
In an instant, he raised his spiked club and smashed it down.
The land for hundreds of miles was engulfed by Blood Fiend Qi.
Suddenly, Gu Changsheng summoned the Jade Void Glazed Lamp.
The Myriad Spirit Ancient Flame blazed fiercely, instantly illuminating the Blood Fiend Qi.
The blood mist filling the sky was also annihilated.
"An Innate Spirit Treasure?"
The great demon's expression darkened as he let out a strange, sinister laugh.
"Brat, die!"
Blood Fiend Qi rose again, and blood mist filled the sky.
Concealed by the demonic mist, the great demon summoned his spiked club and swept out countless bloody rays.
Gu Changsheng stepped back, then raised his sleeve and summoned the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
The mountain range spanning hundreds of miles instantly collapsed.
White light filled the sky, dispersing the Demonic Qi and shattering all the Blood Fiend Qi.
The great demon's face twisted with terror. "This is—"
Before he could finish, white light pierced through his body.
"Perish!"
Gu Changsheng shouted coldly. Even the great demon's primordial spirit dissipated.
The great demon's dying scream was incomparably miserable as he was utterly destroyed.
The demons were already terrified at the sight.
Gu Changsheng unleashed the Five Thunders Divine Ability, bringing down thunderbolts that filled the sky.
Every demon was destroyed by the lightning, and the scent of roasted flesh filled the air.
"Quickly, come pay respects to the Immortal Master."
The Cangjie Clan hurriedly called the tribespeople over.
A vast sea of humans knelt before Gu Changsheng.
Looking at these humans, Gu Changsheng was filled with emotion.
Humanity was far too weak.
If humanity's fortune was not raised, then in the future, they would ultimately be refined by the demon race into the Tushou Sword.
Now, while the demon race had yet to discover the matter of human souls,
Gu Changsheng could not help but think more deeply about this window of time.
Suddenly, Gu Changsheng felt thoroughly refreshed.
As he circulated his mana, he sensed the Five Qi in his chest showing signs of condensing.
"Could I be about to break through?"
Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged atop the clouds, waves of law fluctuations spreading from his body.
In an instant, it was as though he had stirred the power of heaven and earth.
Rumble!
A tremendous boom rang out between heaven and earth.
An astonishing light shot from Gu Changsheng's eyes.
In an instant, heaven and earth darkened as the winds and clouds changed.
All the humans prostrated themselves upon the ground.
At that moment, Gu Changsheng seemed to merge with heaven and earth.
The Five Qi in his chest instantly spread across the Sky Dome.
"So this is the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm?"
Gu Changsheng circulated the Five Qi in his chest. Terrifying golden light enveloped his body, like a colossal golden phantom shrouding the human settlement.
Especially beneath Gu Changsheng's golden radiance, the injuries of every wounded human seemed to meld away and vanish.
At the same time, an unfathomable feeling filled the human tribe.
In an instant, some humans began to gain enlightenment.
The Cangjie Clan sat cross-legged, as though comprehending the Dao.
Under Gu Changsheng's protection, vigorous vitality manifested throughout the human settlement.
Spiritual rain descended, and all things revived!
Heaven Rained Millet, Ghosts Wept at Night!
Profound and mysterious truths swirled above the human settlement.
As Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged, scenes from the human tribe's birth until the present appeared before his eyes frame by frame, like a film.
Gu Changsheng let out a long sigh. Humanity was far too frail.
Even with houses and fire, humans would still be harmed by the demon race and become food in their mouths.
In the end, hundreds of millions of humans would be sacrificed, their souls forged into the Tushou Sword.
Seeing the humans enter enlightenment, Gu Changsheng descended from the clouds.
