Chapter 1: Awakening from Sleep
As time passed and the world evolved, since Pangu slaughtered three thousand chaotic demons and gods and created the primordial world, the primordial world has successively experienced the great calamity of ferocious beasts, the struggle for supremacy among dynasties, the great calamity of the Dragon and Han dynasties, and the struggle between the Dao and the Demon. In the end, the cultivator Hongjun defeated the Demon Ancestor Rahu, became the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, founded the Xuanmen, spread the Dao in the primordial world, and had six personal disciples and countless followers.
At the foot of Mount Buzhou, the Wu and Yao tribes are engaged in an earth-shattering war.
The reason is that not long ago, the demon race discovered the Thirty-Three Heavens located on the summit of Mount Buzhou. In order to get rid of their entanglement with the witch race on the prehistoric continent, they planned to move the entire race to the Thirty-Three Heavens. However, to reach the Thirty-Three Heavens, they had to go up Mount Buzhou.
However, Mount Buzhou had long been the exclusive property of the Wu tribe, and any force that tried to take over Mount Buzhou would be attacked by the Wu tribe, let alone the demon tribe, their sworn enemy.
Just as the Wu tribe was waging a bloody battle against the demon tribe at Buzhou Mountain, in the Pangu Hall, the Wu tribe's main camp, a young Taoist slowly opened his eyes beneath the blood pool and then jumped into the blood pool.
The young Taoist looked around and found no one there. He then did some calculations with his fingers, his expression changed drastically, and he sighed, saying, "Time flies. We've already reached the Lich War."
The young Taoist was named Xuan Chu. Originally from the future, he traveled to the Chaos Era by chance. He was born from the same thirty-six-petal Chaos Green Lotus as Pangu and was one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, namely the Demon God of Quantity. During the Chaos War, he fought alongside Pangu and battled the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods. In the end, Pangu transformed into all things to complete the primordial world, and Xuan Chu was also seriously injured.
However, Xuan Chu, who came from a later era, knew the future direction of the prehistoric world: the Three Pure Ones would turn against each other and the Wu Clan would decline. In order to prevent his elder brother's hard work from being destroyed, Xuan Chu took the initiative to give up his demon god body and parasitized Pangu's heart in the form of a primordial spirit. Later, Pangu's heart transformed into the Pangu Palace, which gave birth to the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Xuan Chu had been sleeping under the blood pool, and at the same time, he used the Pangu blood pool to reshape his physical body and transform into an innate Dao body.
Originally, Xuan Chu planned to awaken before the Great Tribulation of the Ferocious Beasts, eliminating all factors detrimental to the Pangu lineage, including the future Heavenly Dao representative Hongjun. Unfortunately, due to the severity of Xuan Chu's injuries in the Chaos, he only awakened during the Great Tribulation of the Lich King.
Xuan Chu stretched his limbs; after lying down for countless years, he needed to get some exercise. He then assessed his current cultivation level, sighed, and said, "I'm only at the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, which is far inferior to my previous life's peak Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Golden Immortal realm."
In the primordial chaos, Xuan Chu was a Chaos Demon God second only to Pan Gu, possessing the peak cultivation of a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal. Even the third-ranked Time Demon God, Shi Chen, was but a small caramel in his presence. After being injured and losing his demon god body, his cultivation level dropped to the peak of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal. However, in the current primordial world, the Six Sages have not yet returned to their positions, and Hong Jun has not yet reached the point of merging with the Dao. The peak cultivation of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal can be said to be the ceiling of the primordial world.
Thinking of this, Xuan Chu felt relieved. Back then, all three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, including his own brother Pangu, had perished. It was already a blessing from the Great Dao that he was able to survive. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
With a thought, Xuan Chu conjured a sword in his hand. As Pangu's younger brother and one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, Xuan Chu naturally possessed a companion spiritual treasure. Moreover, it was the Hunyuan Sword, a Chaos Supreme Treasure on par with the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Chaos Green Lotus, the Creation Jade Disc, and the Chaos Pearl. However, due to the severe damage in the Chaos War, the Hunyuan Sword's grade had dropped, and it was now only at the level of a Primordial Supreme Treasure.
At this moment, Xuan Chu sensed a powerful aura, and his expression changed drastically. He said, "This is the aura of Brother Pangu. Could it be that the Twelve Ancestral Witches have set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to summon the phantom of Brother Pangu? Oh no, that shameless old man Hongjun is about to make a move." After saying that, Xuan Chu disappeared from the Pangu Palace in a flash.
At the foot of Mount Buzhou, the demon leaders Di Jun and Tai Yi, seeing that they could not defeat the Twelve Ancestral Witches for a long time, set up the Hunyuan Heluo Formation. The Twelve Ancestral Witches, not to be outdone, set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation and summoned the phantom of Pangu.
Although the Pangu phantom summoned by the Twelve Ancestral Witches was far less powerful than the real Pangu, it could still display the strength of the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal. Now that the Six Sages have not yet returned to their positions, apart from Hongjun, no one in the prehistoric world is a match for the Pangu phantom.
As soon as the phantom of Pangu appeared, the world changed color. The Three Pure Ones, who were in Kunlun Mountain, sensed the aura of Pangu and their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly flew to the sky above Buzhou Mountain and saw the huge phantom of Pangu raging. They kept muttering "Impossible."
"Open the heavens and create the earth!" Pangu's phantom shouted, then swung the Heaven-Opening Axe at the Hunyuan Heluo Formation. With a light strike, it shattered the Hunyuan Heluo Formation. With the formation broken, Dijun and Taiyi were instantly seriously injured and on the verge of death. Just as Pangu's phantom was about to press its advantage, Hongjun descended from the sky and shattered Pangu's phantom with a single finger. The twelve Ancestral Witches fell to the ground, clearly seriously injured.
After Hongjun appeared, the Three Pure Ones, who had been watching the show, could no longer hide and quickly showed themselves.
Hongjun ignored the Three Pure Ones, but instead glanced coldly at the Twelve Ancestral Witches on the ground and said, "Alright, this matter ends here. The Witch Clan shall withdraw, and the Demon Clan shall retreat to the Thirty-Third Heaven. From now on, the Witch Clan shall rule the land, and the Demon Clan shall rule the heavens. The two clans shall not wage war again."
"We respectfully obey the Dao Ancestor's decree!" The demon race members hurriedly responded. There was no other way; the Pangu phantom of the Twelve Ancestral Witches was too heaven-defying, and the demon race simply couldn't defeat it. Now that Hongjun had come out to clean up the mess, the demon race couldn't be happier.
The demon race was happy, but the witch race was not. After fighting for so long, they had finally managed to severely injure the demon race with the help of Pangu's phantom. Now was the time to press their advantage. Besides, the reason the witch race had come here was to prevent the demon race from taking over the Thirty-Three Heavens. Now that Hongjun had appeared and given the Thirty-Three Heavens to the demon race, wouldn't all this battle have been for nothing? Furthermore, the witch race did not respect the Heavenly Dao and only revered Pangu. Why should they listen to Hongjun?
Dijiang, the eldest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, barely managed to stand up and angrily said, "By what right? Old man Hongjun, I, Dijiang, respect you as the Dao Ancestor, but this is a matter between my Witch Clan and the Demon Clan. When did it become your place to make decisions?"
"How dare you!" Upon hearing Dijiang address Hongjun as "old man," the Three Pure Ones angrily rebuked Dijiang. Meanwhile, Dijun and Taiyi, standing to the side, were secretly delighted. This Dijiang was truly courting death. It would be best if Hongjun, in a fit of rage, could directly annihilate the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and then the entire prehistoric world would be ruled by the demon race.
As expected, upon hearing Dijiang's words, Hongjun was enraged and said, "The Wu Clan disrespects the Heavenly Way, and I, as the spokesperson of the Heavenly Way, shall punish them!" With that, he activated his magic power, forming a giant palm in the air, which pressed down on the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Feeling the oppressive force of the giant hand, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were powerless to resist and could only watch in despair as the giant hand attacked them.
Just then, a voice came from inside.
"Who dares to bully the Witch Clan?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a long sword pierced through the air, shattering the giant hand.
