Haofeng had said that the most likely group to attack humanity would be the Demon Tribe. As expected, these demons had directly infiltrated the heart of humanity, devouring our people. Truly detestable.
Fortunately, after listening to Haofeng's words, I had been patrolling the borders between humanity and the Demon Tribe. If I had been patrolling elsewhere, how many more of our people would have been slaughtered!
Looking at the direction the lion came from, there were four large tribes of ten thousand people each. They have likely met their demise by now.
Thinking of this, Zhisheng's expression grew even colder!
If I weren't worried about the demons behind it, I would have struck it down with a single lightning bolt!
Suddenly, Zhisheng froze. Wait, there's vitality within its belly!
It's a human!
Zhisheng's eyes lit up. She formed her fingers into a sword, and the Grand Pure Profound Light gathered on them, like a sharp sword.
Zhisheng raised her hand and slashed. A massive gash appeared on the yellow lion's abdomen. A golden light flashed, and a disheveled human Golden Immortal appeared on the ground.
Upon seeing Zhisheng, he immediately bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Ancestor!"
"No need for formalities. It's good that you're alive."
"What's the deal with this yellow lion?" Zhisheng asked, looking at the half-dead yellow lion below.
The human Golden Immortal did not dare to delay and explained everything clearly. Zhisheng frowned. What's going on? Why are the demons no longer afraid of the might of Saints?
After thinking for a long time without understanding, Zhisheng took out the bell at her waist and infused it with mana. The bell instantly began to vibrate.
As the bell vibrated, a profound and mysterious fluctuation swept out. Simultaneously, the bells on the waists of fifty human clan elders also began to vibrate. The expressions of the Manifest Lineage clan elders patrolling the human border changed, and they immediately transformed into beams of golden light, flying towards Zhisheng's location.
At Central Phoenix Mountain, Jiang Haofeng was sitting cross-legged in his humble abode. The bell at his waist instantly vibrated. At the same time, the golden bell hanging on the other side also chimed.
A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes. The Demon Tribe had made their move!
It's Zhisheng's bell. Jiang Haofeng's expression changed slightly. I hope nothing happens.
"Hidden Lineage clan elders, please remain calm and do not make any rash moves!" Jiang Haofeng immediately reminded them. Then, he looked towards Zhuxiang's territory and secretly transmitted his voice.
"Zhuxiang, I'm going out for a bit. You'll be in charge of the Hidden Lineage for now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Haofeng took a step forward, instantly crossing hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers. With a single step, those vast distances were condensed beneath his feet. His cultivation at the peak of Grand Luo Golden Immortal, combined with the perfected divine ability of Star Chasing Moon Catching!
This allowed Jiang Haofeng's speed to reach a terrifying level. Not even an ordinary Quasi-Saint could necessarily match Jiang Haofeng's speed; this was the gap in divine abilities!
In Central Phoenix Mountain, Zhuxiang, who was cultivating, immediately responded. However, Zhuxiang didn't realize that as he spoke, Jiang Haofeng was already hundreds of millions of miles away.
The other Hidden Lineage clan elders also cupped their hands in agreement, emerging from their caves with complex expressions, gazing towards the south.
When would they have the opportunity to step forward and protect humanity? The Witch Tribe was so powerful; how could it be easy to surpass them and appear openly in the Primordial Era?
With the perfected Star Chasing Moon Catching fully unleashed, Jiang Haofeng's speed reached its absolute limit. Along the way, he overtook several Manifest Lineage clan elders. Before long, he saw Zhisheng with a frosty expression, and the half-dead yellow lion below.
A lion demon at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm?
Jiang Haofeng glanced at the yellow lion, and its true nature was instantly revealed.
Jiang Haofeng flashed and landed beside Zhisheng. Seeing Jiang Haofeng, Zhisheng's eyes lit up, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face, "Haofeng, why are you here?"
"I heard your bell ringing and was a little worried, so I came to take a look."
As they spoke, a golden light flashed through the void. Lieshan, who was patrolling nearby, also rushed over.
Upon seeing Jiang Haofeng, Lieshan was instantly stunned. Haofeng?
Shouldn't Haofeng be stationed at Central Phoenix Mountain? Why has he come here?
Seeing Lieshan arrive, Zhisheng also looked puzzled.
Shouldn't Haofeng be stationed at Central Phoenix Mountain? Even if he heard my bell, he shouldn't be the first to arrive.
Lieshan was also a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and he was patrolling the southern border, much closer than Haofeng.
Suddenly, a guess surfaced in Zhisheng's mind, "Haofeng, did you rush here from Central Phoenix Mountain after hearing my bell?"
Jiang Haofeng nodded casually. Besides Xuandu, who was still cultivating at Shouyang Mountain, his strength was the strongest in all of humanity. There was no need to hide it. On the contrary, the stronger his strength was, the more confident humanity would be.
Lieshan was instantly dumbfounded upon hearing this. What the heck?
Haofeng rushed here from Central Phoenix Mountain?
You traveled such a long distance and still got ahead of me. How did you run so fast? We're both Grand Luo Golden Immortals; why is the gap so large?
Beside them, Zhisheng looked at Jiang Haofeng with shock, then her face lit up with joy. As expected of Haofeng, he's truly amazing!
As the two spoke, the Manifest Lineage human clan elders arrived one after another. Before long, twenty-five Manifest Lineage humans had gathered here. Including Jiang Haofeng, twenty-six of humanity's fifty clan elders had arrived.
Among the twenty-six, there were five Grand Luo Golden Immortals and twenty Grand Unity Golden Immortals, all at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. There wasn't even a single one at the late stage.
A mighty aura swept out. The yellow lion, half-dead below, flashed with surprise in its eyes.
This humanity has some strength. They even have a Grand Luo Golden Immortal stationed here.
For a moment, a hint of regret flashed in the yellow lion's eyes. If it had known humanity had Grand Luo Golden Immortals, it wouldn't have come.
Normally, when observing humanity, most of them hadn't even achieved immortality. The stronger ones were only at the True Immortal or Mystic Immortal level. Golden Immortals were rarely encountered, let alone so many peak Grand Unity Golden Immortals and a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
Of the twenty-six people present, there wasn't a single one it could defeat.
At this moment, no one paid attention to the yellow lion below. Everyone had the Golden Immortal clan member recount the events. Furthermore, this creature had devoured over forty thousand of their people, directly consuming four tribes. Instantly, the expressions of everyone looking at the yellow lion turned icy.
As everyone watched, the Yellow Lion involuntarily swallowed its saliva. "Have you all thought this through? I am a dignified Great Demon King of the Demon Tribe! Our Demon Tribe has an Emperor and three Sovereigns, the Demon Master, and the Ten Directions Demon Saints, with a thousand Demon Gods safeguarding us!"
"With your current strength, you could flatten all of humanity in an instant!"
"Release me quickly, and I will let this go. If not, the Demon Emperor will surely make all of humanity bury me with him!"
As his words fell, a look of hesitation appeared on the faces of the human clan elders. Everyone had witnessed the might of the Demon Tribe, especially the terrifying, world-ending scenes from thirty thousand kalpas ago. The memory was still vivid for them!
The Demon Tribe… humanity, as it was now, truly couldn't afford to offend them.
Seeing their hesitant expressions, the Yellow Lion was instantly overjoyed and immediately clamored, "Hurry and release me! Otherwise, when our Demon Tribe's powerhouses descend, they will surely annihilate your entire humanity!"
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes. With a wave of his hand, dense lightning appeared in the void. It was the Humanity Teaching's divine ability – Grand Pure Divine Thunder!
Although the Grand Pure Divine Thunder summoned by Jiang Haofeng didn't possess the same vast momentum as the one summoned by Zhisheng, the thunderous dao rhythm it contained, the world-ending dao rhythm, far surpassed Zhisheng's.
Jiang Haofeng's Grand Pure Divine Thunder was a perfected divine ability. In terms of comprehension of divine abilities, he far surpassed Zhisheng. Even though Jiang Haofeng's cultivation on the Immortal Path was only at the peak of Golden Immortal, the Grand Pure Divine Thunder he unleashed far exceeded the Golden Immortal level, directly leaping to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal tier.
And it wasn't weak even within the Grand Unity Golden Immortal tier.
Jiang Haofeng pressed his palm down, and the dense Grand Pure Divine Thunder in the void crashed down. Instantly, the Yellow Lion's miserable screams echoed from below. After a long time, the entire Yellow Lion had been roasted to about seventy percent done.
Jiang Haofeng temporarily put away the lightning and asked, "Why did you come to our humanity? Who ordered you?"
"Confess quickly, or I will imprison you in the sea of lightning for ten thousand years, punishing you with lightning daily!"
Upon hearing this, the Yellow Lion's eyes widened. Imprisoned in a sea of lightning for a hundred years?
That would be even more unbearable than death!
This human is so vicious!
"No one ordered me. I just wanted to taste humanity. Since the ban on humanity was lifted by my clan, I came to try something new." The Yellow Lion did not dare to delay and immediately stated the purpose of his visit to humanity.
Jiang Haofeng's eyebrows twitched. The ban was lifted?
Jiang Haofeng raised his hand and pulled, and the vast lightning in the void descended. The Yellow Lion's miserable screams sounded again.
After a while, the lightning receded. The Yellow Lion, hanging by a thread, spoke, "I really wasn't lying. No one ordered me."
Jiang Haofeng nodded slightly, believing him. "Who ordered the ban to be lifted?"
"It was the Demon Master!"
Demon Master Kunpeng!
It was actually related to him. In Jiang Haofeng's memory, Kunpeng had only appeared three times. The first time was when he ambushed Hongyun, directly shattering Hongyun's physical body even with the protection of the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, showcasing his peak Quasi-Saint strength!
This established his reputation as an established powerhouse in the Primordial Era.
The second time was during the later stages of the Witch-Demon War, when he stole the River Diagram and Luo Book, causing the Demon Tribe's Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array to dissipate, leading to the deaths of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the destruction of the entire Demon Tribe!
The third time was when, by order of Empress Nuwa, he delivered the recently acquired River Diagram and Luo Book to the reincarnated Fuxi, thus resolving the karma of harming Fuxi.
Jiang Haofeng casually pointed, and a bolt of lightning descended from the void. This time, Jiang Haofeng did not hold back the destructive power. The full might of the Grand Pure Divine Thunder erupted, instantly obliterating the Yellow Lion's true spirit.
"Haofeng, killing him… what if the Demon Tribe holds us accountable?" Suiren, standing nearby, showed a trace of worry in his eyes.
Although killing this Yellow Lion was invigorating, and Suiren felt a sense of satisfaction, this was, after all, someone from the Demon Tribe. Humanity could not possibly resist the might of the Demon Tribe.
"This isn't a matter of whether they will hold us accountable or not. The Demon Tribe has already bullied us to our doorstep. If they could slaughter forty thousand of our people, and the elders of our Human Manifest Lineage gathered still wouldn't dare to kill them, that would be a joke!"
"Killing him will undoubtedly provoke the Demon Tribe's retaliation, but if we don't kill him, the demons will slaughter our humanity with impunity!"
"Whether we kill him or not, the outcome is roughly the same, so why keep him?"
"Our Human Manifest Lineage, as disciples of the Grand Pure Sage and followers of the Humanity Teaching, are they afraid of the Demon Tribe? We cannot disgrace Senior Uncle-Master Taiqing."
Jiang Haofeng once again invoked the name of the Grand Pure Sage.
To put it bluntly, humanity's greatest trump card at the moment was not their eight Grand Luo Golden Immortals, nor the Human Hidden Lineage. What were these forces in the current Primordial Era?
