The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 269 - 215: The Golden Crow’s Scheme, Catastrophe Arises in the Primordial Era

Chapter 269: Chapter 215: The Golden Crow’s Scheme, Catastrophe Arises in the Primordial Era

"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the void, and a large, dusty hand appeared out of nowhere, directly whisking away Zhunti and West Two Saints. The chaos that had just pervaded the Chaotic Void was instantly quelled.

Li Qingming did not interfere with the hand’s departure, knowing that despite not being powerful enough to destroy him, the owner of the hand could easily escape if desired.

Retracting the Qiankun Ruler hovering in mid-air, Li Qingming stroked his chin, squinting thoughtfully towards the direction where the hand had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

Si Snake, with a face full of shock, emerged from the Taiyin Star and came beside Li Qingming, asking, "Master, was that colossal hand possibly Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun?"

Li Qingming slowly shook his head and said, "It couldn’t be him! Although I have cultivated to the Middle Stage of Saint, I still can’t see through Hong Jun’s true power. If it were Hong Jun, he wouldn’t need to go through such trouble, and could have quietly taken away the Western Two Saints! The aura of the hand’s owner, although formidable, is far from matching Hong Jun’s might! Strange, who could it be?"

Si Snake wondered, "Then, wouldn’t these Western Two Saints come back and cause us trouble again once they recover?"

Li Qingming chuckled lightly, "When soldiers come, we block with generals; when water rises, we cover with earth. Besides, those two were frightened by us this time! They wouldn’t dare to provoke us again, wouldn’t that be asking for unhappiness?"

Si Snake nodded, looking at the damaged Taiyin Star and said, "Master, this Taiyin Star?"

Li Qingming sighed, raised the Qiankun Tripod, and the rolling power of vitality was guided out by Li Qingming, restoring the Taiyin Star to its former condition. Turning to Si Snake, he said, "By now, the Golden Crow Princes must already be wreaking havoc on the Primordial Land. We should hasten back to Primordial, join up with Chen Long and others, and assist the creatures of Primordial!"

...

Flowers bloom in pairs, each on its own branch.

Under Zhunti’s sweet talk, the Ten Golden Crow Princes descended from the Sun Star and rapidly made their way to the Primordial Continent.

Thinking of Zhunti’s instruction, the Golden Crow Crown Prince said to his younger brothers, "Master Zhen said that our True Sun Fire can eliminate the evil qi and endless resentment in Heaven and Earth! But the Primordial Land is so vast, how can we possibly find the places thick with evil qi?"

The Golden Crow Third Prince tilted his head in thought, then said, "My brothers! We have never explored Primordial Heaven and Earth since we were born. Now that we have finally arrived here, why not take this opportunity to thoroughly tour the Primordial Land?"

The other Golden Crows chirped excitedly, their bodies igniting even hotter Sun Essence Fire. Excitement sparkled in the eyes of every Golden Crow, showing great interest in the proposition of the Golden Crow Third Prince!

Even Lu Ya, the Tenth Prince, fluttered his wings excitedly and added, "Brothers, let us quickly tour the lands of Primordial Heaven and Earth!"

After their discussion, the ten Golden Crow Princes, burning with light blue flames like miniature suns, hovered high in the sky! The temperature within ten miles soared unbearably, the pale yellow earth cracked, and the lush greens quickly withered. Endless beasts wailed, and birds in the sky shrieked, presenting a scene akin to the end of the world.

Usually, the Sun staying long in one place causes drought! Now, with ten Suns streaking across the sky, they seemed to bake the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth like within a furnace.

The land cracked everywhere, trees instantly incinerated, rivers and lakes dried up, and birds and beasts were charred. Some low-cultivation members of the Witch Tribe and humans were caught off guard and instantly turned to ash.

Some cultivators with accomplishments in cultivation tried to shoot the Golden Crow Princes with bows and arrows. However, wrapped in True Sun Fire, even the pinnacle of Sun Essence Fire, none could get close before being consumed by flames. Wherever the Golden Crows passed, truly nothing survived, not a blade of grass grew!

Golden Crows tore through the sky, dragging ten trails of flame. Countless streaming flames fell like raindrops, igniting unquenchable fires, scorching mountains and boiling seas, senselessly killing numerous Primordial creatures. The Golden Crows, focused only on eliminating the malice and resentment in the world, did not realize their actions had fallen into another’s schemes. Not only did this incite curses throughout Primordial, but it also drastically plummeted the Demon Race’s morale!

At the East Sea Coast, where the Human Clan’s settlements were located, the disciples of Li Qingming had heeded his instructions early on, safeguarding the Human Clan’s territory with the pre-prepared Innate Spiritual Treasure, "Taiyin Xuan Water Shield".

While on the rest of the Primordial Continent, the creatures were either dead or injured. Those lucky enough to encounter the Twelve Earthly Branches rescuing humans outside might survive. The unfortunate ones could only painfully wait for the merciless burning of the Sun Essence Fire!

Along this journey, the Ten Golden Crow Princes followed Zhunti’s instructions, pushing their True Sun Fire or Sun Essence Fire to the limits, doing their utmost to incinerate the endless Evil Qi and resentments.

The Golden Crow is intrinsically a Supreme Yang entity, naturally drawn by the perception of Evil Qi and resentments in its heart, the Ten Golden Crow Princes intentionally or unintentionally headed towards the area with the most concentrated Evil Qi in Mount Buzhou, the territory of the Witch Tribe.

The Witch Tribe is fundamentally born from the fusion of Pangu’s Essence Blood and the turbid Qi of Heaven and Earth. The Yin Sha Qi throughout the Primordial Heaven and Earth serves as the cultivation foundation for the Witch Tribe. Thus, whether it be a Human Witch, Earth Witch, or Ancestor Witch, upon their birth, a soaring Evil Qi erupts naturally.

During these several Primordial Meetings, the continuous conflicts between the Witch and Demon Clans led the Witch Tribe to kill countless cultivators of the Demon Race, filling their lands with soaring resentments. Now, the Golden Crows, fixated only on playing and acquiring endless Merit, were naturally drawn to this place.

Abiding by the principle that ’one should pick the softer persimmons’, the ten Golden Crow Princes arrived at the Earth Village in the Witch Tribe territory, where the resentments were the least, but the Evil Qi was the most intense.

Confronted by the thick, almost tangible, clouds of Evil Qi, the arriving Ten Golden Crow Princes, as if spotting boundless Merit, looked at each other and unleashed their full power of Sun Essence Fire, immediately covering the sky above the Earth Village with thick Sun Essence Fire.

It was daylight then, and the Great Witches of the Earth Village had gone out hunting. At that moment, only the weak, women, children, and some members of the Human Clan were left in the village. Suddenly subjected to the attack by Sun Essence Fire, many people of the Human Clan along with some children and elderly of the Witch Tribe, were instantly turned to ashes. Strong stone dwellings were burnt like glowing embers. Thick black smoke billowed with sizzling sounds!

Several Golden Crow Princes, laughing wildly, cruelly watched the Humans and Witches tragically shriek in the flames. They even swooped down and with their sharp claws, tore any Witch that escaped the fire to pieces. Their bloodthirsty and brutal nature manifested evidently.

Not far in the deep forest, a burly man, bare-chested and shoulder, his lower body wrapped in a beast skin battle armor, holding a thick brown peach wood staff, roared like a wild beast and charged towards the Earth Village.

"Who dares to attack my Earth Village?" The burly man, dragging along a giant serpent dozens of meters long, stood on the rugged hillocks as if on flat ground.

"Damn, who is this unruly fool? Daring to meddle in the affairs of the Demon Race!" The Golden Crow Crown Prince arrogantly retorted, his eyes radiating disdain for all.

"I’ll beat you, you rascal beast!" The man’s eyes flashed fiercely, he dropped the giant serpent, swung the peach wood staff, and with a sudden slap forward.

"Screech!" In that instant, both the peach wood staff and large hand engulfed the target. The Golden Crow Crown Prince grimaced, his arm nearly broke, showing lines of visible bloodstains. Luckily, he retreated quickly, touching and dodging immediately; otherwise, half of his body would have been crushed, and he would have met his demise right there!

"Too tricky, brothers, let’s gang up!" Seeing the eldest brother injured, the Golden Crow Second Prince roared. His form exploded upwards dozens of meters, and with a flap of his wings, a great swathe of Sun Essence Fire surged towards the burly man. Faced with the bombardment of True Sun Fire, the man, bearing a fierce aura, did not dodge but raised his peach wood staff and struck it towards the incoming Sun Essence Fire.

"Boom!" As the two collided, the peach wood staff instantly dispersed the Sun Essence Fire, sparks flew, reigniting a large fire.

Seeing the turn of the situation, the Golden Crow Second Prince said, "Brothers, what are you waiting for?"

"Quack, quack!" The rest of the Golden Crow Princes, squawking a few times, their bodies, originally a meter tall, swelled up instantly, as if injected with vitality. The deep blue Sun Essence Fire, like free of cost, crazily lashed out at the man.

"Witch!" The burly man frowned tightly and roared, displaying the true form of the Witch Tribe. His body soared hundreds of meters tall, each ear pierced by a Flying Snake, and each arm also entwined with a Yellow Snake. The brown peach wood staff seemed to change at his will, now extending over a hundred meters, firmly grasped in the giant’s hand.

"Roar!"

Just as the group of Golden Crows intended to regain their dignity from this man, a long howl came from afar. The mountains seemed to shake. Hundreds of unruly, wild-looking men, bare-chested and wearing beast skin clothing, either holding giant peach wood sticks or swinging large machetes, roared like freed wild beasts, storming in, the ground shaking, all the mountains seemed to collapse.

"D*mn it, Demon Race beasts, harassing our Witch Tribe again? You all f*cking die! Kua Fu, the boss, leave one for me!"

"Beasts of the Demon Race, you f*cking always choose when no one is around! Now the brothers are back! How dare you destroy our village, kill our people, I’ll rip off your heads and kick them like balls!"

These were a group of extremely fierce Great Witches, even fiercer than all the Ancestor Witches!

Indeed! The one entangled with the group of Golden Crow Princes was none other than the famously renowned Kua Fu from later generations! Kua Fu was the Great Elder of the Earth Village, overseeing all matters of the Earth Village. With such a big mess having occurred, Kua Fu naturally charged back first, swearing an unending battle with the Demon Race! (To be continued.
