First Glimpse of Sharpness, Showing Prominence

Hu Shu watched the direction the repelled Demon Race fled, his brow furrowed slightly. He knew this was merely a minor prelude to a storm. Defeating the demons so easily might attract stronger enemies. But at this moment, seeing the hopeful and grateful eyes of the Human Race people, his resolve strengthened. No matter what, he had to protect everyone.

Hu Shu calmed himself and began to familiarize himself further with the Invincible Domain System. He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into it as if he were in a mysterious space. Here, he could feel the aura of every inch of land within the domain, and the flow of every wisp of spiritual energy was clear to him. Through the system's feedback, he learned that the domain not only granted him invincible power but could also suppress enemies who entered it. Furthermore, as he completed system tasks and helped the Human Race overcome calamities, the domain's range and functions could be enhanced.

Just as Hu Shu was beginning to understand the system's functions and formulating ideas to protect the Human Race, a commotion suddenly erupted from the distant mountain forest. He abruptly opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw a small group of demons ferociously charging towards the Human Race settlement. These demons had varied forms; some resembled wolves, baring their fangs and claws, while others were like vultures, circling at low altitudes with sharp cries.

Hu Shu took a deep breath, his eyes instantly becoming resolute. Without hesitation, he activated his Invincible Domain. In an instant, a transparent barrier rapidly expanded from him as the center, engulfing a large area at the edge of the Shouyang Mountain Human Race settlement. Where the barrier passed, the air seemed to freeze, and spiritual energy trembled.

The first to enter the domain was a giant wolf demon. Its originally ferocious eyes were instantly filled with terror the moment it stepped inside. Its limbs felt bound by invisible shackles, its swift charge abruptly halted, and its entire body froze in place. Immediately after, the wolf demon let out a pained roar, its body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

The few lesser demons that followed encountered similar dire predicaments. They felt an invisible, powerful force pressing in from all directions, making it difficult even to breathe. One monkey demon attempted to swing the wooden club in its hand to attack, but as soon as the club was raised halfway, it snapped with a "crack." The monkey demon's arm also sent a wave of sharp pain, and it drooped powerlessly.

Hu Shu walked steadily towards these demons, his steps firm and unhurried. Within the Invincible Domain, he seemed like a deity ruling over all. Looking at the demons before him, stripped of their ability to resist, he felt no pity. These demons had oppressed the Human Race for so long, committing countless wicked deeds. Now, it was time for them to pay the price.

"You wicked creatures, today is your end!" Hu Shu's voice boomed like a great bell, echoing within the domain. He casually waved his hand, and a wisp of spiritual energy transformed into a sharp blade, instantly piercing the wolf demon's body. Before the wolf demon could even let out a scream, it collapsed with a thud, turning into a pool of blood. The other lesser demons, seeing this, were so terrified they went limp and immediately fell to their knees, begging for mercy.

"Spare us! Great Immortal, spare us, we'll never dare again!" "Please, Great Immortal, show mercy and let us live!" The cries of the lesser demons rose and fell.

Hu Shu looked at them coldly and said, "You relentlessly hunted the Human Race every day, did you ever imagine this day would come? The Human Race is not a race you can bully at will." With that, he shot out several more spiritual energy blades, eliminating the lesser demons one by one.

The Human Race people hid in the distance, witnessing this thrilling scene. They saw Hu Shu move as if through empty space within the Invincible Domain, easily repelling the invading demons. Their admiration and gratitude surged like a tide.

"Lord Hu Shu is too powerful. If not for him, we would have all met a terrible fate today!" an elder said with great emotion.

"Yes, Lord Hu Shu is like our guardian deity. With him here, we have hope!" a young Human Race man excitedly agreed.

The crowd gathered around Hu Shu, bowing to him with reverence in their eyes. Hu Shu looked at the Human Race people before him, a warmth spreading through his heart. He knew he bore the heavy responsibility of protecting the Human Race, not just because he was a member of their race, but also because he possessed the powerful aid of the Invincible Domain System.

However, after repelling this group of demons, Hu Shu felt a vague sense of unease. He knew that the Demon Race held immense power in the Primordial World. Repelling such a small force so easily would surely attract the attention of other demons. Perhaps, even stronger enemies would soon come knocking. He looked towards the distant horizon, his gaze deep, contemplating countermeasures.

Hu Shu understood that to truly protect the Human Race, merely repelling the immediate enemies was far from enough. He needed to use the Invincible Domain System to continuously enhance the strength of the Human Race, allowing them to establish a foothold in this perilous Primordial World. But none of this was easy. Not to mention that upgrading the system required completing various difficult tasks, the impending retaliation from the Demon Race alone was enough to cause a headache.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew past, carrying a hint of coolness. Hu Shu took a deep breath, sensing the air, trying to catch any potential signs of danger. He knew the peace was temporary; a greater storm was coming.

Hu Shu turned around and looked at the Human Race people, speaking loudly, "Everyone, do not let your guard down. This is just the beginning. We must be prepared to face potentially stronger enemies that may appear next." The crowd nodded, their eyes revealing firm determination.

Although this group of demons was repelled, Hu Shu's heart could not find peace. He silently calculated in his mind how to use the Invincible Domain System to enhance the Human Race's strength and how to deal with the Demon Race's possible frenzied retaliation. He knew that every decision concerned the life and death of the Human Race and allowed no room for carelessness.

On the edge of this open Human Race settlement on Shouyang Mountain, Hu Shu gazed into the distance, lost in thought. He knew that a far more arduous challenge awaited him and the Human Race.
