Since Hongjun had slain Devil Ancestor Luohu, the Primordial Wilderness had welcomed a rare period of peace!

After the previous earth-shattering battle between the Dao Ancestor and the Devil Ancestor, the innate great gods of the Primordial Wilderness had all learned the harsh lesson. Now, each of them hid away in their cave abodes to cultivate, seeking to attain the indestructible Chaos Dao Fruit that endured through ten thousand tribulations!

But how could a Primordial Chaos Saint be so easily attained?

For the various innate great gods to seek the Dao was one matter for now. As the saying went, the Heavenly Dao never ceased its course, and the great calamities of the world would not stop either!

And so, another ten thousand eight hundred years passed. The sky turned pitch-black, wind and rain raged together, and the sun and moon shifted. Suddenly, an explosive boom rang out beside Mount Buzhou in the Primordial Wilderness, echoing through heaven and earth like the roar of the firmament!

At that moment, countless innate great gods were alarmed. Such a display was truly terrifying, so each of them pinched their fingers and calculated. The Heavenly Dao was crystal clear before them, and they immediately understood the cause and effect!

When Pangu fell after opening the heavens, twelve drops of blood essence within his body combined with innate turbid qi and Capital Heaven Fiendish Qi, giving birth to intelligence. This was the moment they were destined to emerge!

The sky thundered. At the foot of Mount Buzhou, a fissure like an abyss suddenly split open. It was incomparably deep and dark; even a Daluo Golden Immortal could not see its end with a single glance!

In less than half an instant, twelve strangely shaped figures leaped from that endless abyss. Ancient and majestic auras radiated from their bodies, and every movement they made stirred ripples through space. They were truly horrifying beyond measure!

Needless to say, these twelve were the Twelve Ancestral Shamans who would later become renowned throughout the ages!

The first resembled a yellow sack, crimson as cinnabar fire, with six legs and four wings, muddled and faceless. He was Dijiang, master of space and speed.

The second was green as emerald bamboo, with a bird's body and human face, standing atop two dragons. He was Goumang, master of wood.

The third had a human face and tiger's body, wore golden scales, bore twin wings from his shoulders, had a snake threaded through his left ear, and stood atop two dragons. He was Rongshou, master of metal.

The fourth had a python's head and human body, wore black scales, stood upon a black dragon, and coiled a green python around his hands. He was Gonggong, master of water.

The fifth had a beast's head and human body, wore red scales, had fiery snakes through his ears, and stood upon a fire dragon. He was Zhurong, master of fire.

The sixth had eight heads with human faces, a tiger's body, and ten tails. He was Tianwu, master of wind.

The seventh held snakes in his mouth and hands. With a tiger's head and human body, four-hoofed feet, and long elbows, he was Qiangliang, master of lightning.

The eighth had a human face and bird's body, green snakes hanging from his ears and red snakes in his hands. He was Xizi, master of electricity.

The ninth had a human face and serpent's body, entirely crimson. He was Zhulong, also called Zhuyin, master of time.

The tenth had a human face and beast's body, ears like a dog's, with green snakes hanging from them. He was Shebi Corpse, master of weather.

The eleventh had a human body and serpent's tail, seven hands behind her back and two hands before her chest, both gripping soaring serpents. She was Houtu, master of earth.

The twelfth was a savage giant beast, his entire body covered in bone spurs. He was Xuanming, master of rain.

The Twelve Ancestral Shamans were indeed transformed from Pangu's blood essence. Their innate physical bodies were incomparably powerful. They could devour heaven and earth, command the Five Elements and the four elemental forces—wind, water, thunder, and lightning—fill seas, move mountains, alter heaven and earth; there was nothing they could not do. At birth, they already possessed cultivation equivalent to Daluo Golden Immortals. They were truly extraordinary!

Not long after the Twelve Ancestral Shamans were born, nearly a million Witch clansmen were also born beside Mount Buzhou. These Witch clansmen were no ordinary beings either. Even the weakest possessed cultivation equivalent to the Heavenly Immortal realm, while the stronger ones even rivaled Primordial Unity Golden Immortals!

The moment the Twelve Ancestral Shamans and the Witch clansmen were born, it seemed that heaven had decreed it in the unseen. Two shrill cries came from the starry sky, equally terrifying, each occupying half the strange phenomena caused by the Ancestral Shamans' emergence. They were the sovereigns of the Demon Race: two Golden Crows who had taken form. One was Eastern Emperor Taiyi, born holding the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, transformed from the Pangu Axe. The other was Dijun, born holding the two Top-tier Innate Spirit Treasures, the River Chart and Luo Script. Both possessed immense divine powers and would become famed mighty figures in later ages. Upon taking form, they already had the cultivation of Late-Stage Daluo Golden Immortals, and Purple Imperial Qi accompanied their births. They bore the aspect of emperors and would later become rulers of the Demon Race, commanding the vital lands of the Heavenly Court.

As time passed, many acquired trees and plant spirits either awakened their intelligence or transformed into human form. These acquired monsters were the earliest members of the Demon Race. Among them, ten were the most famous:

Jimeng's true form had a human body and dragon head. He dwelled in Zhang Abyss, and wherever he went, violent winds and torrential rains followed. Most of his magic power lay within that wind and rain. In human form, he looked imposing and mighty, wielding a three-pronged Sea-Ravaging Steel Trident and wearing dragon-scale armor.

Yingzhao's true form had a human face and horse body, tiger markings, bird wings, and a voice like a pomegranate. In human form, he looked vicious and held a mixed-iron staff densely carved with talismans. Dressed in tiger hide, he exuded a fierce and savage air.

Baize knew astronomy and geography above, and every trifling detail below; he understood the past and foresaw the future. Born able to speak human language, if he had not attained the Dao somewhat late, the position of foremost Demon Saint might have belonged to someone else. In human form, he possessed the bearing of an immortal, refined and scholarly. He leisurely waved a feather fan in his hand, looking every bit the military strategist.

Feidan was of the feathered race who had attained the Dao. His true form resembled a rat with red feet. In human form, his appearance was somewhat wretched, and his two little rat whiskers added several touches of absurdity.

Feilian's true form had a deer's body, a sparrow-like head, horns, a serpent's tail, and leopard markings. He too wore beast hides, giving him a bold and heroic appearance. In his hand was a fan more than six feet long, ornamented with gemstones of every attribute. It looked exceptionally splendid and greatly resembled the legendary Plantain Fan.

Jiuying had nine heads and was a monster of water and fire. Creatures with dual attributes like hers were truly rare. The two crescent-shaped weapons in her hands were her personal weapons, the Sun Essence Wheel and Moon Essence Wheel, which she had forged only after gathering the essences of the sun and moon over thousands of years. They carried the attributes of water and fire and possessed boundless might.

Shangyang's true form was a one-legged azure bird. It was said that she had deep ties to the Phoenix Clan. She was extraordinarily beautiful and wore a pale azure silk robe.

Qinyuan was also of the feathered race who had attained the Dao. Her true form resembled a bee and was about the size of a mandarin duck. In human form, she too was a rare beauty, dressed in multicolored garments woven entirely from the feathers of innate spirit birds.

Citie's true form was ugly, resembling a water buffalo but with enormous horns, black fur, and a diet of iron. His excrement was as sharp as steel. Spirit beasts like him were truly rare; he could actually refine steel. In human form, his skin was dark, his face like the bottom of a pot, and he carried a wolf-toothed cudgel in hand. Bare-chested, he was clearly the sort of brute who relied on savage strength.

Guiche was immensely famous, also known as the Nine-Headed Bird. Crimson in color and duck-like in shape, his true form had wings spanning roughly a hundred zhang. Blind by day and clear-sighted by night, he would fly overhead crying whenever gloom and darkness appeared. This beast was a savage beast of the Primordial Wilderness and one of the very strongest among these ten great demons.

These ten Demon Gods were all extraordinary. Even the weakest possessed the realm of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, while the strongest had already set half a foot into the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

Thus, the Witch-Demon Clans rose alongside one another and gradually stepped onto the stage of the Primordial Wilderness!
