Hongjun's Scheme, the Pieces Yet to Fall

Hongjun frowned and quickly took out a jade talisman and crushed it.

With a loud "boom," a golden barrier appeared, blocking the black mist.

"Hmph!" A cold snort came from within the black mist, as it continued its frenzied attack on the golden barrier, seemingly unafraid that the golden barrier would destroy it.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun! What are you doing! You're destroying your own Great Wall! Do you think this golden barrier can stop me?!"

From within the black mist came the sinister laughter of the Darkness Devil Lord.

At this moment, Hongjun smiled slightly and said, "Whether or not you destroy your own Great Wall is not up to you. The current situation is that this golden barrier has blocked your attack, but it cannot stop your evil, because you have been tainted with too much evil. You are not worthy of life and must disappear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongjun waved his sleeve again, and a powerful force enveloped the Darkness Devil Lord, causing the Darkness Devil Lord's figure to gradually fade and dissipate.

The Darkness Devil Lord's figure vanished, and the black hole began to collapse.

A heart-wrenching wail echoed from the black hole, "Dao Ancestor Hongjun! Dao Ancestor Hongjun! How dare you treat me like this! I will tear you to pieces! I will kill all of you!"

Hongjun completely ignored him. He continued to place his pieces, one after another, shattering everything the Darkness Devil Lord had arranged. Then the black hole completely dissipated, and a new world was born in this world.

"Hahahaha! Hongjun! You think you can kill me?!"

The Darkness Devil Lord's voice echoed from the void, "Just wait! One day I will make you all pay with your lives! Hahahaha..."

After the Darkness Devil Lord finished speaking, he vanished without a trace.

Just then, far away on Penglai Island, Han Xiangzi, who was playing chess with Li Jing, suddenly looked up, his face showing a look of horror.

"What's wrong, Mr. Han!"

Li Jing quickly asked.

Han Xiangzi said, "Brother Li, look over there!"

Li Jing looked up into the distance and saw a black mist shrouding a huge planet, with faint traces of darkness emanating from within the mist.

Li Jing asked, "Could it be the Darkness Devil Lord?"

Han Xiangzi shook his head. "It shouldn't be. I feel that this black mist is a bit strange, it seems to be a mysterious power, but I can't sense its specific attribute."

Li Jing sighed, "Alas, this Darkness Devil Lord has cultivated a Yaomo body and even developed Divine Ability; he's truly difficult to deal with!"

Han Xiangzi frowned and said, "Brother Li, what should we do? If we let it continue to develop, I'm afraid it won't be long before the pattern of this Primordial World repeats itself."

Li Jing sighed and said, "Brother Han, I'm afraid this matter is no longer up to us."

How so?

Li Jing said, "The Darkness Devil Lord is a wicked demon. He not only cultivated Divine Ability and a physical body, but his Primordial Spirit has also condensed Demon Core."

"Oh? Demon Core? What is this?"

"Demon Core is a type of Nascent Soul in humans."

"Demon Core? Nascent Soul? What are these? Could it be that this Darkness Devil Lord is actually Human Race?"

Li Jing sighed and said, "Brother Han, I think you have already heard about the path to the rise of the Human Race, which is to prove the Dao through physical strength. The Demon Race is the same, only the Human Race is stronger. Now that the Human Race has risen, the Darkness Devil Lord is probably unwilling to accept defeat and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to rise again."

Han Xiangzi asked, "Are Human Race really that powerful?"

Li Jing said, "Although the Human Race is powerful, their cultivation level is not high; they are only at the Sage Realm. However, in recent years, they have established the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Realm. Now, the relationship between Buddhist Order and the Human Race is harmonious, and I believe they will help us resist the Darkness Devil Lord. It's just that the Darkness Devil Lord's cultivation Cultivation Method is somewhat strange; he can actually absorb the dark energy between heaven and earth and convert it into his own energy."

Han Xiangzi said, "If that's the case, we can't let the Darkness Devil Lord continue to wreak havoc!"

"Um."

At this time, in the southwest corner of the Primordial World, there was a small hill.

At the summit of that hill stood two palaces.

One of these palaces is the Black Dragon Hall, and the other is the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Inside the main hall of the Black Dragon Hall, the Black Dragon King and the Heihu King sat side by side.

"Brother, look, isn't the Human Race no longer at peace?"

The Heihu King spoke with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

The Black Dragon King said, "Second Brother is right. The Human Race has begun to rise. If this continues, the Human Race will eventually rule this continent."

"Hmph! Human Race?"

Heihu King snorted coldly, "They'd have to have the ability first!"

"Second brother, when the Darkness Devil Lord emerged from seclusion this time, I sensed a dangerous aura. He has probably regained his Demon Emperor form. If he can truly reach the level of the Human Emperor, then the Human Race is truly doomed. But don't worry, the Darkness Devil Lord is definitely not at his peak yet, we still have a chance."

"Um."

Heihu King nodded.

The Black Dragon King suddenly asked, "Have you investigated thoroughly these past few days? Have you found any trace of the Lady Nüwa?"

"Brother, don't worry. We've laid Heavenly Net and Earthly Web in this area. As long as there's her scent, we'll find her easily. However, I'm worried that Lady Nüwa's cultivation level has surpassed ours, so we dare not act rashly."

"Hmph, while Lady Nüwa is powerful, she's merely a branch of the Human Race. How could her cultivation possibly reach such a level? Moreover, the Black Dragon Patriarch's cultivation has already reached the Quasi-Emperor realm. Unless there are two Emperor-level beings among the Human Race, no one can rival him!"

"Don't worry, brother. As long as we endure for a while longer, even if Lady Nüwa is incredibly powerful, she won't be a match for us. That will be her death day!"

Heavenly Court.

Li Jing stood above the Yaochi, gazing up at the distant sky, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He has been waiting here for hundreds of thousands of years, but he still has not found the Lady Nüwa. No matter how many people he sends out, they cannot find any trace of Lady Nüwa. It is as if the Lady Nüwa no longer exists in this world.

"Could it be that the Lady Nüwa has already ascended to the Immortal Realm?"

Li Jing muttered to himself, a sense of loss welling up inside him.

Before Li Jing entered the Primordial World, he met an immortal named Yang Jian. This immortal was extremely talented and had profound cultivation. He was also pampered and cherished by many immortals in the Heavenly Court.

Li Jing immediately decided to follow Yang Jian and become his right-hand man.

But Li Jing never imagined that this act of following would last for tens of millions of years.
