Fate?
Hmph!
A Grand Luo Golden Immortal had already leaped out of the river of fate. He was a peak Quasi-Saint—where could any fate come from?
But Zhunti had personally come all this way. With his status as a saint, how could he be speaking without purpose?
Could there really be such a thing as fate?
For a moment, Kunpeng hesitated.
Zhunti was, after all, a saint. He had already entered a new level and seen an entirely different landscape.
All beneath saints were ants. That was no idle saying.
If anyone else had said those words, even another peak Quasi-Saint, Kunpeng would not have believed a single word. But this was Zhunti, one of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao.
He had never been a saint himself. What if saints truly could see fate?
The more Kunpeng thought about it, the more hesitant he became. When he had first been born, he had only been in the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Realm. Only after stepping into the Quasi-Saint Realm had he learned the vastness of the Primordial Era, the grandeur of heaven and earth, and the mysteries of the Great Dao.
He had seen many things he could not see before, things he had been unable to perceive when he was still a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
But merely because a Grand Luo Golden Immortal could not see something did not mean it did not exist.
Likewise, what saints could see was not something a Quasi-Saint like him could see. Just because he could not see it did not mean it was not there.
For a moment, Kunpeng's heart wavered.
At the same time, within an unknown space above the Demon Court, Zhunti smiled as he watched the change in Kunpeng's expression.
It was done!
Zhunti had never intended to use Kunpeng to accomplish anything. He himself could do nothing. No matter what he did, the moment he entered the fray, he would become entangled in karma. That was not what Zhunti wanted.
Whether slaughtering humanity, severing humanity's foundation, or wiping out the Witch and Demon Tribes, Zhunti could not act directly.
All Zhunti could do was guide events and add fuel to the flames. Only then could he avoid having karma settle upon him.
The slaughter of humanity could only be carried out voluntarily by the demon race, so that all the karma would be borne by the demon race. Kunpeng taking the River Diagram and Luo Book and sabotaging the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array could likewise only be done of Kunpeng's own free will.
Zhunti's purpose from the very beginning had not been to make Kunpeng agree. Rather, based on Kunpeng's suspicious nature, he merely wanted to plant a seed in Kunpeng's heart. When the time was right, that seed would naturally sprout.
A flash of golden light crossed the void, and Zhunti's figure vanished.
At the same time, near humanity's borders, a human of the Profound Immortal Realm sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak. He wore a Daoist robe embroidered with a Taiji Diagram on its back. Grand Pure Immortal Light rose around him, its clear radiance illuminating the void. He was clearly a disciple of Humanity Teaching.
By order of the clan elders, he was stationed at humanity's border to prevent the Witch and Demon Tribes from crossing the boundary.
Humanity was still in its tribal era and had no Humanity's Co-Lord. The Visible Lineage was led by the Visible Lineage's Grand Elders, namely the clan elders.
However, ordinary members of the Visible Lineage only knew that humanity had twenty-five clan elders. They did not know that humanity actually had fifty ancestral clan elders.
Within the Visible Lineage, only the Innate Humans and those who had listened to the Dao at Shouyang Mountain knew of the Hidden Lineage.
At that moment, nearly a thousand witches and demons were fighting in a region ten thousand li ahead of humanity's border. The weakest among them were in the Profound Immortal Realm, and there were even more than ten Golden Immortals among them!
Vast mana roared, and terrifying auras shook the void.
Watching the battle ahead, the human Profound Immortal felt his throat go dry. Either side could casually send someone over to easily kill him and charge straight into the tribes behind him.
There was no helping it. Humanity was simply too weak, completely incapable of comparing with the two tribes.
Among humanity, a Profound Immortal already counted as an expert, capable of holding one region alone. But among the two tribes, they were merely ordinary soldiers. Every witch or demon able to participate in battle was at least a Profound Immortal.
Among the two tribes, the Profound Immortal Realm was the most basic requirement for entering the battlefield.
Yet the human Profound Immortal was not overly worried. Humanity had Humanity's Holy Mother and Humanity's Sage Master behind it. The Witch and Demon Tribes would not offend humanity. Once they finished fighting, they would naturally leave and would not affect humanity.
During his time stationed here, he had seen battles like this several times. They had never affected humanity, and the fighters never even approached humanity's territory. Once the battle ended, they simply departed on their own.
The battle between the two tribes had reached a fever pitch. Cultivators of the Profound Immortal Realm died one after another, their enormous corpses falling from the sky and slamming heavily into the ground as dense baleful aura rose.
The human Profound Immortal clicked his tongue inwardly. Luckily, this battle had not spread to humanity. Otherwise, all of humanity would likely have been annihilated.
He had once thought humanity was quite strong and that the Witch and Demon Tribes were nothing special. But now that they were at war, their foundations proved stronger than the last, with countless powerful experts within their ranks.
They even possessed methods capable of destroying heaven and earth, enough to make the entire Primordial Era World tremble.
Suddenly, a crimson rainbow shot over from afar. Vast Grand Unity might swept outward, shaking the void without end as terrifying power surged forth.
The crimson rainbow flashed, and a young man in red robes appeared in the air.
"Not good! A demon Grand Unity! Retreat!"
The leading witch Golden Immortal's expression changed drastically, and he immediately fled into the distance.
"Die!"
The red-robed young man lightly brushed his palm through the void. Crimson feathers appeared one after another, condensed from mana and vividly lifelike. They resembled crimson fire jade, crystal-clear and exquisitely beautiful.
Scarlet flames blazed across the feathers, their scorching heat enough to make even immortals change color!
"Go!"
With a push from the red-robed young man, several crimson feathers streaked through the void like crimson lightning, striking several hundred fleeing witches with perfect accuracy.
The crimson feathers effortlessly pierced the Witch Tribe Treasure Bodies. Bodies that feared neither mana nor divine abilities, neither Magic Treasures nor weapons, were easily shattered before absolute strength!
As the crimson feathers entered their bodies, blazing fire swept out. In an instant, hundreds of witches became running balls of flame. The raging fire burned over their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of witches had turned to charred remains!
Only a dozen or so minor witches of the Golden Immortal Realm continued struggling. Dao Charm of Strength rose around them as they tried to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but they could do nothing against them. The fire continued to blaze, burning away their flesh, blood, and baleful aura. After several hundred breaths, the Golden Immortal minor witches could no longer endure and turned into charred remains as well!
Whether Profound Immortals or Golden Immortals, none had the slightest power to resist those flames!
The battle had been evenly matched just moments earlier, but after the demon Grand Unity Golden Immortal arrived, a single move decided the victor. The demons achieved total victory, while the witches were completely wiped out!
Separated by an entire major realm, without powerful Magic Treasures for protection or formidable divine abilities to defend themselves, the gap between them was nearly impossible to bridge.
The red-robed young man glanced toward humanity and smiled disdainfully. With a wave of his hand, he led the demons away.
The Profound Immortal stationed at humanity's border relaxed slightly. Just as expected, the Witch and Demon Tribes would not enter humanity's territory.
Just as they were about to leave, a dazzling golden light suddenly flared. Endless golden rosy clouds surged through the void, and golden lotuses floated in the air as profound Dao charm swept outward.
In an instant, the demons who had been about to leave stopped.
At the same time, a golden scroll fell into the human Profound Immortal's hands.
The red-robed demon's eyes lit up instantly as he stared fixedly at the scroll in the human Profound Immortal's hands.
What profound Dao charm!
As a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, the red-robed young man could sense it even more clearly. That Dao charm was so vast and magnificent, even more profound and expansive than the Dao charm carried by the Demon Emperor and Demon Sovereign!
A supreme treasure!
It was absolutely a supreme treasure!
A fortunate opportunity!
A heaven-sent fortunate opportunity!
The human Profound Immortal looked at the scroll that had fallen into his hands, his eyes filled with despair.
Was this a fortunate opportunity?
Without a doubt, it was!
But this fortunate opportunity had come at far too terrible a time.
Couldn't you have appeared at another time?
The demons had not even left yet, and you appeared directly in my hands with such a huge commotion!
The red-robed young man looked at the human Profound Immortal before him and released his enormous divine sense. There were only a few human tribes nearby, along with several Profound Immortal cultivators. There was not even a single human Golden Immortal.
The red-robed young man hesitated for a long while, but in the end, he could not suppress the temptation in his heart!
I'll do it!
Killing intent surged in the red-robed young man's eyes!
A streak of crimson light swept over. The human Profound Immortal was instantly horrified and immediately unleashed Grand Pure Immortal Light. A dense layer of immortal radiance enveloped him, but when the crimson light passed through, the immortal light was useless and was torn apart at once.
They were separated by two major realms. The difference in strength between them was like heaven and earth!
Crimson flames erupted, and the human Profound Immortal was reduced directly to ash.
The red-robed young man looked at the golden scroll in his hand, his eyes gleaming. This treasure was his now.
He turned to look at the demons waiting around him, and a trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes.
Seeing the red-robed young man's gaze, the demons felt an ominous premonition rise in their hearts. Several experienced old Golden Immortals in particular showed despair in their eyes.
It was over!
The red-robed man waved his hand, and hundreds of crimson feathers appeared as blood-red light streaked across the sky.
After a while, charred corpses fell to the ground one after another. With another wave of his hand, the red-robed young man turned every charred corpse into dust and scattered it into the earth below.
The red-robed man's figure flickered, transforming into a streak of crimson light that vanished into the void. He found a quiet cave somewhere in the Primordial Era.
After entering the cave, the red-robed young man waved his hand and set up an array. He eagerly took out the golden scroll, his eyes burning with desire.
