Wandering the Primordial World

Not far beyond the Human Race territory of Trade City, a Human Race patrol squad encountered a Late Profound Immortal Wolf Demon!

This Human Race patrol squad consisted of ten people. Most were at the late Heavenly Immortal Realm, while their captain was an early Profound Immortal!

"Captain, what do we do? That Wolf Demon is a Late Profound Immortal—can we really handle it?" a Human Race warrior asked nervously.

"What's there to fear?! I'll keep it occupied. You form the Three Talents Formation!"

As the Wolf Demon pounced upon them, a cold gleam flashed from the captain's spear. Streams of frost surged along its shaft and stabbed toward the Wolf Demon. In an instant, ice power blanketed the entire area. The Wolf Demon swung its massive saber, demonic power erupting from its body as an enormous blade light swept through the air, shattering all the ice like fragments!

Just as the captain prepared to engage the Wolf Demon in close combat, the other nine soldiers formed three Three Talents Formations. Their combat power instantly rose to the early Profound Immortal stage! They surrounded the Wolf Demon on all sides, sending streak after streak of spear light shooting toward it! Some even brought out the Human Race's distinctive talismans, which transformed into fireballs in the sky and crashed down upon the Wolf Demon!

Most of these humans had little combat experience! They could only respond in a frantic scramble! The attacks striking the Wolf Demon did not cause it much harm. Instead, they enraged it.

The Wolf Demon suddenly flew into the air, boundless demonic power spreading from its body. Raising its head, it howled at the heavens! Before long, an incomparably enormous giant wolf appeared in the sky! With a flash, it lunged at the group at tremendous speed! One strike from its massive wolf claw shattered the Three Talents Formation!

The captain swiftly summoned a small blue shield. As his mana surged, the shield rapidly expanded, sheltering everyone behind it.

Then, his hands formed seals at lightning speed. Snowflakes soon began drifting down from the sky, instantly freezing into ice wherever they landed! In the blink of an eye, this patch of heaven and earth became a world of ice and snow!

The condensed ice instantly transformed into razor-sharp ice blades, densely packed as they shot toward the giant wolf! Blooms of blood burst from its body!

"Awooo!" It howled in pain!

The giant wolf suddenly spewed a gust of black wind from its mouth, and wild gales immediately swept through the surroundings!

The nearby soldiers barely held on behind the giant shield, but the situation was dire. Just as the light barrier cast by the shield was about to be torn apart by the black wind—

Boom! A bolt of lightning struck the giant wolf in an instant!

"Brothers, don't panic! We're here!"

More than a dozen streaks of light shot across the horizon! They were patrol squads from nearby. Having noticed something unusual here, they had rushed over at full speed and arrived just in time to save them.

Seeing the newcomers, everyone was overjoyed. The captain hurried forward, cupped his fists in salute, and said, "Brother! Thank you so much. If you brothers hadn't arrived in time, my life, Luo Qing's life, would have been left here today!"

"Don't mention it! As comrades-in-arms, it is only right that we help one another!" said a burly man who appeared to be a squad captain. "Let's deal with this beast first!" With a wave of his hand, bolts of lightning bombarded the giant wolf. The other two were not to be outdone, unleashing ice blades and enormous fireballs that likewise smashed toward it!

There was no other way. The Demon Race's physical bodies and cultivation realms were far stronger than those of the Human Race. They could only wear it down like this. If they rushed in to fight it with martial techniques, they probably would not even be enough for one bite!

Under the lead of three early Profound Immortal captains and the combined assault of more than twenty late Heavenly Immortal warriors, they finally brought down the demon wolf!

Scenes like this continued to unfold beyond the Human Race territory. The number of fallen humans steadily rose. This was the first large-scale unnatural death suffered by humanity since its birth! The only consolation was that the Human Race warriors were gaining more and more combat experience. Demon beasts of the same realm that previously required three or four people to handle could gradually be fought one-on-one! Some gifted clansmen could even slay foes above their realm!

This was largely thanks to the Human Race's systematic inheritance of cultivation techniques, as well as the dazzling variety of spell lineages within many Small Worlds! They had merely been unfamiliar with using them before. Now that their combat experience had improved, their battle strength naturally increased as well!

But this was all because these were ordinary members of the Demon Race, without systematic methods of cultivation. If they encountered Demon Race members with genuine inheritances, Human Race casualties might increase even further!

When Jiang He received news of Human Race casualties, he merely sighed in silence! These were trials they had to undergo. He could not keep acting like a nanny, protecting every member of the Human Race forever! All he could do was continuously improve the Human Race's means of attack and defense!

Jiang He glanced over the Small Worlds within the Red Dust Pearl. Since he had previously authorized the Red Dust Pearl to automatically select uploaded Small Worlds for evolution, he had not paid much attention to their progress. Yet at a cursory glance, more than a dozen Small Worlds had already completed their evolution!

"Ling'er, don't some of these completed Small Worlds overlap? After all, we only need their martial arts techniques, cultivation methods, and culture! Aren't most martial arts Small Worlds somewhat repetitive?" Jiang He saw that most of these Small Worlds contained stories of martial arts worlds. For the current Human Race, such worlds were no longer particularly useful. What Jiang He urgently needed now were the offensive methods of immortal cultivation worlds.

"Master, these Small Worlds can actually be merged and upgraded. These Small Worlds were originally only the size of a single planet. If multiple worlds are fused, they can evolve into a Lesser Thousand World. That way, higher-level paths of development will emerge! And once they evolve into Lesser Thousand Worlds, the passageways to those worlds will open as well. At that point, Master can set an upper limit. Once the strongest person in that world reaches that limit, you can bring them to the Primordial World!"

"Ascension!" Upon hearing Ling'er's words, this name suddenly surfaced in Jiang He's mind. If it could truly be done, it would provide the Human Race with another source of combat strength. After all, those capable of ascension were mostly outstanding talents possessing great perseverance and great fortune! If there were many such Lesser Thousand Worlds, then in the future, there would be an endless stream of humans ascending from Small Worlds. Once they arrived in the Primordial World, they would surely rise to prominence quickly as well!

Because Trade City had been established, most forces had withdrawn their spies. They had already obtained information about the Human Race, so there was no need to keep sending people inside! It was not as though they truly bore a grudge against the Human Race! Only those genuinely weak races remained here, relying on Trade City for survival.

At this moment, most of the Demon Race beyond Human Race territory were races native to this region. Most of their top experts only reached the Golden Immortal realm, and many races had Profound Immortals as their strongest combatants! This was because all experts above the Golden Immortal realm had been forced by the Demon Race to join the Heavenly Court. It was likely that after the second Witch-Demon War, even these Profound Immortals would be drafted away! The Golden Immortals remaining in this region had not yet been transferred away. On the one hand, it was out of respect for Empress Nuwa, since this place was too close to Human Race territory and it would be inappropriate to act here! The second reason was simply that the Demon Race had left these Golden Immortals behind to restrain the Human Race's development!

When Jiang He stepped beyond the border, he could clearly sense the dense, boundless Sha Qi. After leaving the Human Race, Jiang He flew straight toward Buzhou Mountain. Buzhou Mountain stretched across countless millions of miles, a true pillar holding up the heavens! Even from within Human Race territory, Buzhou Mountain could be seen.

Only the foot of Buzhou Mountain was the true center of the Primordial World, where the strong gathered!

Along the way, Jiang He encountered some incomparably savage demon beasts and saw races even weaker than the Human Race! He witnessed Primordial World Fierce Beasts as large as mountains. As he traveled, stopping and going, he also collected some low-grade magical treasures and Spirit Plants.

During that time, Jiang He fought more battles than he could count, and several times he nearly lost his life. The most dangerous was when he encountered Demon Soldiers of the Heavenly Court. Their leader was a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. When Jiang He had just obtained a top-grade spirit herb, the other party tried to seize it. Naturally, Jiang He refused to hand it over. He fought as he fled, successfully wearing down and killing the other side's lesser soldiers, then prepared for a decisive battle. Unexpectedly, his opponent was just as underhanded, directly hitting him with a powerful ultimate move. He relied on the Sun Gold Wheel bestowed by Empress Nuwa to block that attack. Fortunately, he later escaped with an evasion technique, preserving his life! From then on, he became even more cautious!
