Primordial Desolation Chaos, Witch and Demon Fierceness

After the Three Pure Ones went into seclusion, Li Yunjing also began his long period of closed-door cultivation. This three-thousand-year period was unlike the previous peace; the war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Race had already erupted.

Some powerful cultivators, after some calculation, sensed the arrival of a great tribulation. The memory of the previous "Dragon-Phoenix Calamity" made those who had luckily survived tremble, and they all shut their mountain gates, no longer walking the Primordial Desolation continent.

At this time, the Primordial Desolation had split into two major factions: the Witch Clan and the Demon Race. One ruled the Primordial Desolation continent, while the other ruled the Thirty-Three Heavens. As for other forces, such as the Three Pure Ones' Mount Kunlun, Nether River's Sea of Blood, and Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple, along with other reclusive powerful cultivators and even the Dragon Clans of the Four Seas, they all became much more low-key. They strictly forbade their disciples from leaving the mountains and from clashing with the Witch Clan or the Demon Race.

Although the Witch Clan and the Demon Race had not yet engaged in a decisive battle, small-scale skirmishes were happening everywhere. Every moment, thousands of their clansmen were dying.

As the prolonged friction continued, the enmity between the two races deepened. In these precarious times, the Witch Clan gradually gathered their people, slowly forming large tribes led by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, concentrating their strength to avoid being ambushed by the Demon Race and suffering excessive losses.

Pangu, who created heaven and earth, perished and transformed into all things, giving birth to the Twelve Ancestral Witches. These Ancestral Witches possessed incredibly powerful physical bodies, capable of swallowing the heavens and devouring the earth, controlling wind, water, thunder, and lightning, moving mountains and overturning seas. Their divine abilities were vast, and each was at the Quasi-Saint realm.

The leader of the Ancestral Witches was Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch of Space and Speed; Gou Mang, the Ancestral Witch of Eastern Wood; Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Witch of Southern Fire; Rushou, the Ancestral Witch of Western Metal; Gonggong, the Ancestral Witch of Northern Water; Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch of Ice; Houtu, the Ancestral Witch of Central Earth; Qiangliang, the Ancestral Witch of Thunder; Zhujiuyin, the Ancestral Witch of Time; Tianwu, the Ancestral Witch of Wind; Xizi, the Ancestral Witch of Electricity; and Shebishi, the Ancestral Witch of Poison.

Since the Witch Clan formed a vast tribal confederation led by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, their cohesion and combat power greatly improved. Coupled with their warlike and brave nature, the large tribes led by the Twelve Ancestral Witches frequently swept across the Primordial Desolation continent.

Facing the brutal raids of the Witch Clan, even the various species of the Demon Race found it difficult to contend with them. Some weaker tribes even became the Witch Clan's prey, hunted and killed at will.

In this situation, the Demon Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, in the Thirty-Three Heavens, established the Heavenly Court, gathering more and more demons. Basically, all flying birds and beasts on the Primordial Desolation continent were incorporated into the Heavenly Court, greatly increasing their strength and making it the domain of the Demon Race. Di Jun's ambition also gradually grew, wanting to sweep away the Witch Clan and dominate the Primordial Desolation.

Likewise, those powerful cultivators who heard the teachings in Zixiao Palace, under the persuasion of Di Jun and Taiyi, Fuxi became the Emperor Xi of the Heavenly Court, and Nuwa, following her brother Fuxi, became Empress Wa of the Heavenly Court. Another powerful cultivator, Kunpeng, created the written language of the Demon Race and served as the Demon Master.

Below the five Quasi-Saint powerful cultivators, the Demon Race's Jimeng, Ying Zhao, Feilian, Jiu Ying, Shang Yang, Qinyuan, Citie, Jiu Feng, Baize, and Feidan became the ten Great Sages of the Demon Race. All these Great Sages were at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, with some being so powerful that they were only one step away from severing a corpse and advancing to the Quasi-Saint realm.

With numerous powerful demons united, they formed a great force that shook the Primordial Desolation.

With billions of demons and various major races having a backing, the war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Race became increasingly fierce. It transformed from individual brawls into large-scale conflicts with organization and backing.

Facing this situation, Li Yunjing dared not easily descend the mountain. The great tribulation was imminent, and there was no reason to descend and provoke karma. If he were killed, it would be extremely unjust. As a mere Golden Immortal, it was better for him to cultivate honestly on Mount Kunlun. With the Three Pure Ones protecting him, both the Demon Race and the Witch Clan had to show them some respect, and no one dared to cause trouble.

For a full three thousand years, Li Yunjing raised his cultivation to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, only a sliver away from advancing to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

It wasn't until the "Three Lectures of Zixiao Palace" that all the great cultivators of the Primordial Desolation left the continent and entered the chaos. Only then did Li Yunjing awaken from his seclusion.

Without ambitious figures like Di Jun and Taiyi around, the Primordial Desolation continent was temporarily a little calmer. Moreover, the Dao Ancestor had strictly ordered that the Witch Clan and the Demon Race were not allowed to engage in a decisive battle before he merged with the Dao, which helped to dissipate some of the bloodshed in the Primordial Desolation.

Although large-scale wars ceased, small-scale conflicts occurred countless times every day, each one killing until the sun and moon were obscured and the heavens and earth were dark.

With a snap of his fingers and a thought, Li Yunjing's figure flashed, and he flew out of Mount Kunlun. The day the "Enlightenment Tea Tree" matured had arrived. To show filial piety to the Three Pure Ones, it was worth taking a little risk.

This time, when walking the Primordial Desolation continent, Li Yunjing became extremely cautious. The ground was littered with the corpses of fallen Witch Clan and Demon Race members, all of them mangled. Not only were they killed, but they were also eaten by the enemy, showing the depth of hatred between the two races, which had reached the limit of their patience. The outbreak of war was now inevitable.

Carefully avoiding the numerous tribes of the Witch Clan, Li Yunjing, after traveling halfway, suddenly felt another great battle erupting ahead.

A scan of his divine sense revealed a group of Witch Clan members fiercely fighting a demon army of ten thousand. All sorts of witchcraft and demonic arts were unleashed, and the surging killing intent shook the surrounding hundred thousand miles.

Suddenly, "swish, swish, swish," dozens of arrows shot towards Li Yunjing. Each arrow carried supreme demonic arts, specifically designed to break through all protective spiritual energy. Looking at the dark green arrowheads, emitting a sinister and strange glow, he knew they must have been coated with extremely vicious poison.

"Scoundrels!"

Li Yunjing's expression changed. He protected himself with the Supreme Purity Immortal Method and wielded the "Nine Heavens Divine Sword" with impenetrable defense. With a rumbling sound, rolling Nine Heavens Divine Thunder struck down, shattering all the arrows. Looking at the broken arrows emitting a pungent green smoke after being struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Li Yunjing's expression grew even more grim.

"Witch-Slaying Arrows! Hmph!"

Li Yunjing sneered. Before he could decide whether to intervene, a giant bear demon pounced towards him. This bear demon wielded two great hammers, smashing them towards Li Yunjing, causing ripples to form in the void.

"Seeking death! I have no enmity with your Demon Race, yet you dare attack me?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Yunjing's figure moved, instantly flashing behind the demon. With a "chi" sound, the "Great Zhou Heavenly Annihilation Divine Light" shot towards the bear demon's back.

"Hey, Daoist! You were lurking nearby with ill intentions, wanting to take advantage. The Heavenly Emperor has decreed that all beings in the Primordial Desolation have only one choice: join the Heavenly Court, or be annihilated!"

The bear demon was ten feet tall. Despite its massive size, it moved with extreme agility. As it moved, it dodged the "Great Zhou Heavenly Annihilation Divine Light" and spewed out a cloud of black smoke. Within a radius of three miles, everything turned pitch black.
