With Taiyi's call, everyone realized that Nuwa was no longer in the Primordial Wilderness, and they all fell into deep thought, wanting to know where Nuwa was.

"Eldest brother, second brother, where do you think Junior Sister Nuwa is now?"

In a human tribe, the Three Pure Ones were dressed like ordinary humans, in coarse linen clothes, without any air of otherworldly grace. If outsiders saw them, they would find it hard to believe that these three were actually the Three Pure Ones.

The Taishang Being looked eastward and smiled gently, saying, "Although I do not know where Nuwa is now, I do know who she is with!"

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Have you noticed that Donghua hasn't appeared in the Primordial Wilderness for a long time? And the Purple Mansion, which previously seemed poised to annex the Witch Clan, has now completely stopped and is focusing on developing itself."

The Taishang stroked his beard and said meaningfully, "These points, taken individually, are nothing special, but if you put them together, you will find one thing: Donghua is no longer in the Primordial Wilderness!"

"Moreover, when I broke through to Quasi-Saint the other day, I used my Divine Sense to survey the entire prehistoric Primordial Wilderness, but I couldn't find a trace of Donghua's aura. At first, I thought it was because my strength was inferior to his and I hadn't noticed him, but now it seems that Donghua is indeed not in the Primordial Wilderness!"

Yuanshi asked in shock, "Elder brother, if this is truly the case, then Nuwa and Donghua must be hiding some secret!"

"Sigh, it's true what they say, if you're one step ahead, you're always ahead. We've fallen several steps behind, and now we don't even know what they're doing. It's really frustrating!"

Tongtian said nonchalantly, "If you ask me, it's just that Second Brother is overthinking things. What they're doing is irrelevant. As long as the three of us brothers work together, what can't we solve?"

"Now that my elder brother has broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, he is only one step away from Attain Hunyuan Dao. Isn't Donghua also at this level? Besides, I am confident that I will break through to the Quasi-Saint soon, so what is there to worry about!"

Just as Yuanshi was about to refute Tongtian's words, he heard Taishang say, "Third brother, you must not be careless, nor should you underestimate others. You have not broken through to this realm, so you do not know its wonders."

"Although I am currently at the same level as Donghua, he is far more Gao Ming than me, and I still have a long way to go. Only when you reach this level will you understand what it means to be Below Hunyuan the Hunyuan realm!"

"Brother, is there really such a big difference between these realms?" Yuanshi was still a little skeptical, after all, he was about to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and he was very confident in his strength.

Although Taishang was unwilling to believe it, it was the truth, and he could only say helplessly, "Second brother, third brother, Below Hunyuan, all are but ants. But the Hun Yuan realm is only the beginning. Master is Hun Yuan, and isn't Luohu also Hun Yuan? Don't be complacent. You still need to cultivate diligently and accumulate more insights into the Great Dao!"

Tongtian shook his head; he didn't believe in any of that. He only believed in his own sword.

"Eldest brother, second brother, let's not talk about this anymore. We have no direct interests with Nuwa and Donghua, so we won't become enemies. At most, we can only be considered competitors. Besides, we are fellow disciples, so there's no need to deliberately target them."

Yuanshi agreed, saying, "Yes, Third Brother is right. Our paths are different, and we won't become enemies!"

Hearing his two younger brothers say this, Taishang didn't bring up the matter again, but suddenly asked, "Second brother, third brother, we've lived in the human tribe for so long now, what are your thoughts? Or rather, how do you view the human race?"

After a moment of contemplation, Yuanshi said, "The human race is weak, but its potential is boundless. Some individuals among them possess the aptitude to become Quasi-Saint or even attain the Attain Hunyuan Dao, which is extremely rare. Moreover, the human race has a strong ability to reproduce and thrive, and it holds the promise of a glorious future for Witch and Demon Races!"

"The only downside is that Nuwa and Donghua's influence among humans is too strong; almost everyone knows their names."

Tongtian nodded and said, "Second brother is right. These are characteristics of the human race. Moreover, they are tenacious and have a strong learning ability. Just as you said, if we let them develop, there is indeed hope for the glory of the Lich King!"

"Yes, you're right. Moreover, humans have another characteristic: their ambition isn't as great as the liches', and they're not as naturally powerful as the liches," Taishang said with a mysterious smile and amusement.

"Brother, is something the matter?"

The Taishang said solemnly, "Recently, I have observed the fortunes of the human race and discovered that a great upheaval is about to occur. Upon careful calculation, I have determined that a great calamity will befall the human race, a calamity that could lead to its annihilation!"

"A great calamity?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian began to calculate. With the help of their spiritual treasures, the Daoist aura around them flowed, and endless time and space intertwined with destiny. After a while, the two of them stopped.

"How could the human race suffer such a calamity? Have the Witch and Monster Two Clans gone mad?" Tongtian asked incredulously.

Yuanshi chuckled and said dismissively, "They're not crazy; they're more clear-headed than anyone else. They've probably seen through the hidden dangers facing humanity."

"Elder brother, what should we do? Should we lend a hand to the human race?"

Taishang slowly said, "No, we cannot intervene. On the contrary, we should add fuel to the fire. When humanity is at its most desperate, we should lend a helping hand. Only in this way can we win people's hearts and further reduce Nuwa and Donghua's influence among humanity."

Yuanshi pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, do you mean we should also join the human race and help them replace the Witch and Monster Two Clans to become the dominant force in the world?"

The Taishang nodded and said, "Exactly!"

"The Lich's defeat is now inevitable. The Primordial World needs such a powerful race, and we need such a powerful race!"

"After traveling through the Primordial Wilderness for so long, I have finally discovered that only the human race is the most suitable. They have not been around for long and have great potential. As long as we teach and guide them well, they can definitely seize the destiny of heaven and earth."

Tongtian said frankly, "What you say is true, elder brother, but if we do that, we'll have to fight Nuwa, and perhaps Donghua as well!"

Taishang smiled without saying a word, and looked at Yuanshi!

Yuanshi wasn't in a hurry. He stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's just have a fight. Are we afraid of them? We're going to have to fight sooner or later anyway!"

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Three years is like the blink of an eye for the Primordial Wilderness; it feels like nothing at all.

But this day was an extraordinary one for humanity, and it was destined to be an unforgettable one!

On this day, the demon army descended from the Heavenly Court and the Starry Sky, with the Ten Great Demon Sages stationed in various places, and hundreds of Demon God leading the army to attack the Primordial Land, heading directly to the various human tribes.

The Chaos Bell stood atop Taiyi's head, high above the heavens. The Chaos Bell resounded, and a voice devoid of any emotion rang out.

"Kill!"

In an instant, hundreds of millions of demon soldiers attacked simultaneously, beginning a horrific massacre.

The Nine Golden Crows ascended into the sky, transforming into their true forms and releasing the Golden Crow True Fire, which burned the human race on the earth. They also mobilized the power of the Sun Star, instantly amplifying the power of the Golden Crow True Fire to the point that it was powerful enough to burn even Daluo Golden Immortal.

Humanity has great potential, but it is ultimately just potential, like a genius who never grows up. This is fundamentally different from a true powerhouse.

At this time, the strongest among humans were only Daluo Golden Immortal, so how could they possibly be a match for the demon race?

This was a massacre!

A one-sided massacre!

The human race resisted fiercely, quickly organizing a large army to fight, but they appeared powerless against the numerous Daluo Golden Immortal of the demon race.

The demon race had a clear division of labor: those in front killed, and those behind collected their essence, blood, and flesh. The Tongtian killing aura permeated the Primordial Wilderness world.

The worst off were the Western Region and northern human races. They were the weakest, but their numbers were considerable. In just one day, the Western Region and northern human races were almost wiped out.

Only a few million humans escaped to the vicinity of the Western Spirit Mountain, and the demon race was quite wary of them, so they ultimately did not invade. These millions of humans survived.

"Senior brother, these demons seem to know their place. If they dare to set foot on Spirit Mountain today, I'll show them the power of my Western Great Dharma!"

On Spirit Mountain, Jieyin and Zhunti sat on lotus thrones, with Western Region guests and their disciples seated below.

The Jieyin's face remained expressionless as he looked at the disciples below and spoke:

"Yaoshi, Dizang, go and appease those humans, let them stay in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to cultivate. If there are any with good aptitude, you can recruit them into Spirit Mountain!"

"I will obey your orders, Master!"

After they finished speaking, the two left the main hall.

Meanwhile, Zhunti Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, Sunlight, and Moonlight to assist the two.

The Western Region wanderers inside and outside the main hall also withdrew, leaving only Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Junior brother, don't underestimate the Heavenly Court, and even more so, don't underestimate Taiyi. His strength is beyond our capabilities."

Zhunti frowned upon hearing this. He and Jieyin had both broken through to the Peak Quasi-Saint, especially Jieyin, who was almost at the Quasi-Saint realm. Was Taiyi's strength really that great?

He looked up at Taiyi in the heavens above, and a wisp of Divine Sense pierced through, heading towards Taiyi.

However, before the Divine Sense could reach Taiyi, it was shattered by a sharp gaze and turned into nothingness.

"Zhunti, do you want to die?"

Taiyi's ethereal voice echoed from the Western Region, passing through the Spirit Mountain and entering the main hall.

"I had no intention of offending you, fellow Daoist, please do not be angry!" Jieyin made a Daoist gesture, and the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus emitted light, raising a layer of pale golden light over the entire Spirit Mountain.

"But the demon army must not enter the Western Region World again, or don't blame us brothers for being impolite!"

Taiyi snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. This was not the time to oppose the Western Region; there was absolutely no need for it.

Moreover, he had already achieved his goal; the Western Region race had been almost wiped out, and he didn't care about the remaining million people.

"Withdraw!"

Meanwhile, some humans in the north and those fleeing from the Western Region to the east reached the vicinity of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

"Boundless, boundless! If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have cared. But now that they've escaped to my gates, how can I stand by and watch them die!"

Zhen Yuanzi sighed, summoned the Earth Book, which transformed into an Earth Fetal Membrane that instantly enveloped the entire Longevity Mountain, saving millions of people.

The Demon Saint Fei Dan looked at the membrane formed from the Earth Book before him and sighed, "Since the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi has made his move, let's stop here. There's no need for us to clash with him."

After saying that, he ordered the demons to retreat!

Just then, a bell rang out, and the pale yellow bell shadow struck the Earth Fetal Membrane, causing countless ripples, but it did not break through the Earth Book's defense.

Taiyi descended from the sky and stood atop Longevity Mountain.

"Zhen Yuanzi, hand over the human race, and I will spare your life!"

Zhen Yuanzi flew out and landed on the amniotic sac, laughing as he said, "It's been many years, and Taiyi has become even more domineering. You actually dare to attack these weak humans. Has your 'Dao' gone to waste? You have no compassion whatsoever as a cultivator."

Hong Yun also flew out and landed next to Zhen Yuanzi. She didn't say anything, but she made her stance clear: they would stand together through thick and thin!

"Hmph, sharp-tongued! I'll just ask you one question: will you hand it over or not!" Taiyi snorted coldly, without arguing with Zhen Yuanzi.

"I can't pay!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi's eyes instantly turned cold. He couldn't fathom who gave Zhen Yuanzi the audacity to defy him, with his Late Stage Quasi-Saint cultivation?

Taiyi didn't say much. He channeled the Great Dao Power, unleashing the Golden Crow True Fire to burn everything, and then lightly threw a punch down, seemingly without any power.

However, this punch was terrifying in the eyes of Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun; they felt a suffocating sensation.

Zhen Yuanzi immediately waved his whisk, Five Elements Great Dao intertwined, transforming into a five-pointed radiant array that charged towards Taiyi.

Meanwhile, Hong Yun also summoned the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd. Red Mist drifted, and hidden within it was invisible red sand that hurt people, which attacked Taiyi.

The three forces collided in the Sky Vault, and the winner was instantly determined.

Taiyi's fist imprint shattered the two men's attacks and pressed down. The two men were shocked, never expecting that they couldn't even withstand a single move from Taiyi.

Zhen Yuanzi activated the Great Dao, and the three Great Daos of the Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and Space soared into the sky.

"Universe in a Sleeve!"

The light, fluttering sleeves seemed to transform into a black hole of the Great Dao, instantly absorbing all of Taiyi's attack.

The black hole's devouring power still exists, heading towards Taiyi.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Taiyi snorted coldly, and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel behind him flew out. The sun and moon hung high, and the Great Dao Power permeated the entire Longevity Mountain, dominating the world.

Zhen Yuanzi's Universe in a Sleeve was instantly shattered, and the power of the Yin and Yang shone down on the two of them. Taiyi showed no mercy in this attack, aiming to kill them both.

Under the immense pressure, the two didn't even have the courage to fight. Zhen Yuanzi was shocked and quickly pulled Hong Yun into the Earth Fetal Membrane.

But it was too late. Although he managed to hide inside, his body was still injured by the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel. The powerful Great Dao Power, accompanied by the True Sun Fire, burned Zhen Yuanzi's divine body and the Great Dao.

Hong Yun quickly used his supernatural powers to help Zhen Yuanzi extinguish the true fire, thus temporarily averting the danger.

"Brother Dao, Taiyi is too terrifying; he's beyond our capabilities. He must have broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Perhaps only Donghua can deal with him now!"

Hong Yun's face was pale; the fight just now had clearly left him traumatized.

But it makes sense. They were all on the same starting line, but now Taiyi has far surpassed them. With just a simple punch, he was too much for them to handle. How could they not feel good about it?

"Let's not talk about that for now. The demon race has been slaughtering humans for over a day, yet Donghua is still taking action. Only the people of the Purple Mansion are resisting the demon race's attack in the east and south, so I estimate that Donghua is probably not in the Primordial Wilderness either. This matter is truly difficult to handle!"

Zhen Yuanzi's two long eyebrows were flowing, one longer than the other, clearly indicating that a section of them had been burned off by the True Sun Fire.

"Hong Yun, hand over the Primordial Violet Qi, and I will spare your lives!"

Taiyi retrieved the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel, Chaos Bell above his head landed in his hand, unleashing boundless power to suppress Longevity Mountain.

At this moment, Taiyi's purpose was completely exposed: his attack on Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun was for the Primordial Violet Qi.

P. S.: Brothers, double monthly votes start tomorrow, please give me some! It's so hard, brothers.
