The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 280 - 226: Fu Xi Battles Zhen Yuan

When Di Jun and Taiyi were plotting the massacre of the Human Clan, Nuwa had already weighed the pros and cons.

Nuwa, inheriting the Qi Fortune of both the Human and Demon Races, under the support of the powerful Qi Fortune, had a cultivation that progressed at an unmatched speed among the Saints. But as her cultivation deepened, Nuwa also sensed that the calamity between the Demon and Witch Tribes needed a resolution. The impending doom of the Human Clan happened to offset the shortcomings of the Demon Race.

After much consideration, Nuwa realized that maximizing her own gain from this crisis meant ensuring victory for the Demon Race. If the slaughter of millions of humans could yield a weapon against the Witch Tribe, this transaction would still be worthwhile! After all, the Human Clan already numbered in the tens of trillions, close to the population of the Demon Race and far surpassing the Witch Tribe, becoming the second-largest Primordial Species.

However, Nuwa was also worried that if the Witch Tribe won in this calamity, or if both sides suffered greatly, the Human Clan would surely rise up. Since she benefited from the Human Clan’s Qi Fortune, she naturally could not allow the Demon Race to slaughter humans. This was a matter of mutual benefit! But Nuwa only knew a grand calamity was imminent, and that it would be perilous, but she found predicting the exact outcome difficult. This indecision gave Di Jun and Taiyi their chance, acting unscrupulously, reducing the originally vast numbers of the Human Clan to mere thirty million survivors.

This made Nuwa, who initially was reluctant, start to consider intervening. Now, upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi’s words, she was in even greater turmoil, choking back her emotions.

Fu Xi’s face turned pale, unable to believe that Zhen Yuanzi would be so bold as to criticize a Saint so openly. Moreover, the vilified Saint was his sister, how could he not be furious?

Fu Xi’s gaze turned icy as he stared at Longevity Mountain. Slowly, he produced Fu Xi’s Zither, his whole body exuding murderous intent, and he shouted sternly, "All demons go to battle and annihilate the Human Clan, leave none alive! Should anyone else obstruct, kill without mercy!"

Zhen Yuanzi laughed heartily, casually throwing out a handful of beans. Golden beans hit the ground, and Yellow Turban Warriors with golden armor and golden longswords hanging diagonally appeared out of thin air, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. They were practically identical to Li Qingming’s Golden Armor Guards.

"Haha!" Zhen Yuanzi’s laughter echoed to the heavens as he waved his hand, commanding the golden-armored army to charge. "Fu Xi, since you defy the Heavenly Dao and wreak havoc on Longevity Mountain, don’t blame me for being merciless! Golden Armor Guards, listen to my command, leave some to maintain the Great Formation, the rest follow me to break out of the Great Formation! On encountering demons, show no mercy!"

Upon hearing his order, the Golden Armor Guards knelt on one knee and declared in unison, "Understood!"

Their powerful aura surged straight into the heavens!

"Hahaha, I’ve hidden for countless Primordial Meetings, and today I’ll use the blood of your Demon Race to consecrate my Duster!" Zhen Yuanzi charged at the forefront into the Demon Race’s ranks, his silver Duster drew a brilliant arc, its splendor carrying away the lives of countless demons.

Fu Xi snorted coldly, sat cross-legged in the air, and began playing Fu Xi’s Zither. Invisible sound blades stirred up rings of faint purple light from all directions, attacking Zhen Yuanzi.

"Hehe, mere trickery, break!" Zhen Yuanzi chuckled, flicking his Duster creating a giant light shield, which stopped all of Fu Xi’s attacks several feet away.

By all accounts, since Fu Xi and Zhen Yuanzi were both guests in Zixiao Palace, even if there were differences in cultivation, they should not have been far apart. However, Fu Xi had been dedicated to the affairs of the Heavenly Court for years, toiling away daily. Although he was graced with the merit of setting up the Complete Heaven Star Battle Spirit Transformation Array, he didn’t have much time to refine it. Hence, his cultivation had only just broken through to the Sub-Saint Early Stage.

But Zhen Yuanzi was different! For hundreds of millions of years, he was devoted to studying the Heavenly Dao Laws, meticulously tempering his physique and mana. His cultivation had long reached the Sub-Saint Middle Stage, just one step away from entering the ranks of the Late Sub-Saint, he was not someone Fu Xi could compare to. If it weren’t for Zhen Yuanzi’s consideration for Lady Nuwa Saint behind Fu Xi, he would have sent Fu Xi reeling with a single Sleeve Universe, leaving him dazed and frothing at the mouth!

"Fu Xi, receive my strike. Three Thousand Worries Silk!"

In Zhen Yuanzi’s hands, the Duster was called Heaven and Earth Duster. Its silk was made from the fibers of the Extreme Snow Silkworm, a Primordial Species surviving in the Southernmost Ice Field, blended with Star Essence Gold and Dragon Clan Neck Whiskers, smelted for forty-nine thousand years. Its handle was made from the refined Innate Jianmu. ƒreewebɳovel.com

These Three Thousand Worries Silk were the ultimate laws Zhen Yuanzi comprehended from the Earth Embryo Membrane and the Earth Book. It contained the Power of Circulation of Three Thousand Laws. When the Duster was swung, heavens collapsed, and earth sank. Initially unable to master this technique fully, Zhen Yuanzi, unpredictable in his strength, but after many years, he had achieved mastery, able to control it effortlessly.

Now, as Zhen Yuanzi lightly swung his Duster, where numerous colored lights flashed briefly, it seemed devoid of power. Yet, Fu Xi felt an overwhelming sense of deadly danger. His complexion changed, and he hurriedly threw out a large scroll, which he quickly unrolled in front of him.

The scroll depicted endless mountains and long rivers, with countless small animals running and jumping, their movements transluscently interchanging. Lakes and seas swayed with the wind, with the sound of waves vaguely emerging from the scroll!

"Hmm? The Map of the Land and Nation!" Zhen Yuanzi slightly frowned upon recognizing the scroll, thinking to himself, "Nuwa actually gave her Innate Supreme Treasure to Fu Xi for protection. She must understand the danger of this calamity, fearful her brother might fall. Alas, Lady Nuwa indeed has tried painstakingly!"

While the power of the Heaven and Earth Duster was formidable, it was still incapable of shattering a Magic Treasure of such supreme caliber. However, its tremendous force was not to be underestimated.

Nuwa’s zither perched across his knees once more, and he settled back into a meditative posture in the void.

"Ding ding dong dong"

A melodious tune flowed from Fuxi’s fingertips. The rhythm was smooth and gentle, shifting from tremors to serene softness as if listening to the quiet pitter-patter of a spring shower on rocks, softly rippling the water. A gentle purple Mana enveloped Fuxi’s body.

As everyone was immersed in this soft and beautiful mood, a "clang" sounded, transforming the round melody. It morphed from a previous frailty to something seemingly robust, like spring water droplets hitting the stone and splashing countless spray, yet with an unending force behind it.

"Hum hum hum!" Rings of golden runes rippled out, and strands of Taoism traces appeared. The void twisted as if a heavenly drum were being beaten, thundering loudly. The fabric of space cracked, and at this moment, the aura of Heaven and Earth was in disarray, with the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind surging like wild tides. Four barbaric beasts, completely outlined by the Power of Laws, thrashed their coiled bodies furiously, their sharp claws and teeth rushing towards Zhen Yuanzi.

"Boom!" Zhen Yuanzi decisively took action. His eyes burst open, and his body agile and swift as a dragon-leopard, he soared across the sky! With an airborne stomp, his hand wielding the Heaven and Earth Duster carried boundless might, whipping straight towards a barbaric beast.

Upon collision, it was as if Heaven and Earth were joined, initially with an auspicious aura, but this was swiftly followed by a scattering of golden brilliance. Each strand of duster silk on the Heaven and Earth Duster shone with a silvery-white radiance, and he exerted extreme strength, condensing hundreds of moves into one strike!

"Pfft!" With a slight sound, a barbaric beast utterly disintegrated, and the golden Laws threads thrashed twice in a frenzy before vanishing unwillingly.

The remaining three barbaric beasts attacked Zhen Yuanzi from different directions, their stench overwhelmingly foul as if they were ferocious deities and beasts.

Zhen Yuanzi’s Mana surged around him, and a bamboo-slip-like object, glowing with a pale yellow light, appeared above his head. It measured about a foot long, entirely greenish-yellow. Within the hazy light, it seemed to contain endless Taoism charm. Flipping open the bamboo slips, near the right end, two ancient Tao Runes read: "Earth Book!"

It turned out to be the famously known Earth Book, one of the Innate Three Books.

The light emanated from the Earth Book, keeping the three barbaric beasts at a distance of about a foot.

"Boom!" A torrential surge of Qi Fortune violently poured out from Zhen Yuanzi. Clearly, Fuxi’s repeated provocations had truly enraged Zhen Yuanzi.

"Three Thousand Worries Silk!"

Zhen Yuanzi threw out the duster again, and the boundless Qi Fortune was instantly transmitted upon the duster. This time, the oppression of the Three Thousand Worries Silk was far stronger than the previous strike, gathering the force of Laws from ten thousand miles around. As the duster was swung, Heaven and Earth changed color!

Fuxi watched the approaching seven-colored duster, his expression shifted slightly. He propped up the Map of the Land and Nation while placing his hand on the zither, strumming all seven strings simultaneously. He exclaimed, "Sounds of Chaos, the emergence of Tai Chi!"

As Fuxi finished speaking, two distinct Yin Yang Fish swam out from the space, stretching across the void in front of him. The fish played and tangled with each other, eventually transforming into a massive Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram.

The Yin Yang eyes of the diagram were like two bottomless pits with endless suction, firmly drawing the three thousand colored lights flung by Zhen Yuanzi onto the Tai Chi Diagram! Soon, sweat could be seen on Fuxi’s forehead, and he looked like he might not be able to hold on much longer.

"Boom!" At that moment, a golden claw emerged from nowhere, sweeping Zhen Yuanzi’s attack aside entirely.

With an expressionless face, Zhen Yuanzi retracted the duster, looking at the vast blue sky and said, "Di Jun Your Majesty has traveled from afar. Why bother hiding in secrecy?"
