Chapter 68: Chapter 68 [Creation’s Mysteries, Human Race’s Sorrow] (Please Subscribe)

As Demon Saint Jiu Ying, he commanded dozens of Daluo Demon Gods. The Gu Diao Demon God, Golden Snake Demon God, and Lu Shu Demon God who came to massacre the Human Clan Ancestral Land were merely his most trusted confidants. Additionally, more than a dozen Daluo Demon Gods, under Jiu Ying’s orders, began massacring scattered Human Clan Tribes throughout the Primordial World.

With the Gu Diao Demon God fallen, the Golden Snake Demon God and Lu Shu Demon God exchanged glances.

Finally, it was the Lu Shu Demon God who spoke up first: "What should we do? With Gu Diao gone, and that Human Race cultivator holding several Innate Spiritual Treasures, we’re no match for him at all. How are we to explain this to Demon Saint Jiu Ying?"

"Just report the truth!"

The Golden Snake Demon God sighed: "That guy has the Mountain and River Map bestowed by Wa Emperor and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel granted by Heavenly Empress Xi He! If we go after him, would we really be able to kill him outright?"

Not to mention whether they had the strength to do that, even if they did, they wouldn’t dare to make a move... What if Lady Nuwa and Heavenly Empress Xi He held them accountable later?

Soon, the Golden Snake Demon God and Lu Shu Demon God, leading the remnants of the Demon Clan’s defeated troops, returned to the Heavenly Court and faithfully reported the matter to Demon Saint Jiu Ying.

Jiu Ying’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Involving Nuwa Saint and Heavenly Empress Xi He, he too dared not act rashly.

He immediately sought an audience with Demon Emperor Emperor Jun.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Jun’s eyes flashed with a fierce glint: "There is no need to fear! Our primary goal is to collect enough Human Race souls to forge the ’Sorcerer Slayer Sword’ and then annihilate the Witch Clan! I, the Emperor, will explain to Xi He. As for Wa Emperor, if she seeks an account from you, say it was by my direct command!"

"Yes!"

Jiu Ying instantly nodded.

After speaking, he personally led several Demon Gods to begin the massacre of the Human Clan Tribes.

"I want to see just how many of the Human Race you alone can save," Jiu Ying said coldly. "Daring to slaughter the Demon Gods under my command, I will make you pay the price!"

After several eras of procreation, the Human Race had already derived tens of thousands of tribes, each tribe having no fewer than ten thousand people, distributed throughout the Primordial World.

He did not believe that, with Xuanqing’s power alone, he could thwart their entire Demon Clan’s grand scheme.

However, he quickly hit a snag!

Protecting the Human Race wasn’t just Xuanqing and his incarnation; Immortal Zhenyuan, the progenitor of Earth Immortals, was also there, and although not adept in offense and combat, he was not someone Jiu Ying could handle.

"Demon Clan, how dare you!"

Immortal Zhenyuan was seething with anger and performed the "Sleeve Universe" Divine Skill, instantly transferring all the people from the Human Clan around Wuzhuang Temple into the realm he had opened, the Earth Immortal Realm.

A "Xuanhuang Big Handprint" struck, sending Demon Saint Jiu Ying flying backward in an instant, while the "Earth Fetus Membrane" transformed into boundless Xuanhuang Qi to protect Immortal Zhenyuan himself.

"The Demon Clan indiscriminately slaughters all beings, and will one day incur divine retribution!" Immortal Zhenyuan’s eyes were full of rage: "Today, let me rid the world of these calamities!"

Originally, due to the matter of Red Cloud, Immortal Zhenyuan held extreme loathing for the Demon Clan.

Now, after finally providing Red Cloud with an opportunity to return through the human divine offerings, the Demon Clan had unhesitatingly massacred the Human Race en masse, severing Red Cloud’s hope of return—how could he not be furious?

"Pot Within Sun and Moon!"

He shouted loudly, waving the horsetail whisk in his hand, causing thousands of time-spaces to tremble. The "Earth Book" sealed the void, and a round of sun and moon erupted with the ultimate destructive force, rolling towards hundreds of thousands of the Demon Clan.

Boom!

In an instant, countless Demon Clansmen perished, and Demon Saint Jiu Ying was severely injured.

This was Immortal Zhenyuan employing the Supreme Divine Power of the "Earth Book," using an unfathomable method to project the sun and moon from the Earth Immortal Realm into the Primordial World, capable of reversing Yin and Yang, annihilating all time-space phenomena.

"Immortal Zhenyuan, do you dare to oppose my Demon Clan, are you not afraid of disaster befalling you?"

Jiu Ying spoke threateningly.

With his own strength, even with a dozen more Demon Gods added, he was no match for Immortal Zhenyuan; he could only resort to intimidating Immortal Zhenyuan by invoking the Demon Clan.

"Others may fear your Demon Clan, but I certainly do not!" Immortal Zhenyuan, utterly fearless, sneered, "I want to see whether it’s your Demon Clan’s Celestial Stars Battle Formation that’s formidable, or if my Earth Book Array has the upper hand."

Seeing this, Jiu Ying could only retreat unwillingly. Immortal Zhenyuan possessed the "Earth Book," capable of connecting with the Primordial Earth Veins, so even if the Demon Clan had the power to kill Immortal Zhenyuan, they dared not act rashly, fearing a mutual destruction with the Demon Clan.

Meanwhile, Xuanqing and his various incarnations were also putting forth their utmost effort, traversing between the Human Clan Tribes. Relying solely on his and the Daluo from the Human Race like Ziyi could not possibly contend directly with the Demon Clan.

All they could do was try their best to preserve the Primordial Qi of the Human Race, but in just half a day, thousands of Human Clan Tribes had been slaughtered to the last by the Demon Clan.

"From today onwards, my Human Race will never coexist with the Demon Clan!" You Chao could not contain his rage, "One day, I will make the Demon Clan taste the bitterness of being slaughtered!"

Xuanqing sighed helplessly: "The pressing matter now is to think of a way to preserve more of the seeds of life! The Human Clan near Wuzhuang Temple is under the protection of Immortal Zhenyuan, so there’s no need to worry about them! The tribes to the north, close to the Witch Clan territory, the Demon Clan probably wouldn’t dare to act rashly either! As for the remaining tribes, save as many as possible."

In these past few days, he had had continuous encounters with several Daluo Demon Gods, which left his spirit utterly exhausted, especially since he also had to pay attention to the condition of his several incarnations.

But, what can human effort do when it comes to exhaustion? What use is there in simply lamenting?

Ultimately, he could not detach himself from worldly affairs like a Saint, nor did he harbor expectations of saving all of the Human Race; what he sought... was merely a clear conscience!

Hearing this, You Chao also couldn’t help but sigh, "How are we to settle so many of the Human Race? We can’t keep them in the Mountain and River Map forever, can we?"

Within the "Mountain and River Map," although there was a Qiankun World, the Spiritual Energy there was far inferior to the abundance in the Primordial World, and its laws of heaven and earth were also not as perfect as those of the Primordial World, making it unsuitable for the Human Race to live there for long.

"There’s no other way now!"

Xuanqing shook his head: "The Demon Clan probably won’t stop their slaughter until they achieve their goal!"

He knew that the Demon Clan’s purpose for slaughtering the Human Race was to forge the "Sorcerer Slayer Sword" specifically designed against the physical bodies of the Witch Clan, hoping to use it to annihilate the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

In his heart, he also harbored a hint of confusion and sometimes even wondered whether, if sufficient Human Race souls were collected, the Demon Clan would cease their slaughter of the Human Race?

"You can’t pin your hopes on the Demon Clan!"

Xuanqing shook his head: "Once some things start, they can’t be contained! The fate of the Human Race can only be in their own hands!"

The nature of souls is bloodthirsty.

He did not believe that the Demon Clan, having tasted the flesh of Humans, would cease to regard the Human Race as their food after collecting enough human souls.

Moreover, if the "Sorcerer Slayer Sword" designed for the Twelve Ancestor Witches was successfully forged, would those Demon Gods below consider forging a "Sorcerer Slayer Sword" against Great Witches?

Xuanqing dared not take the gamble.

Sometimes, he also wondered why weapons forged from Human Race souls could counter the physical bodies of the Witch Clan? Was there some unknown secret to this?

But he couldn’t figure it out and could only attribute it all to the profound mysteries of fate.

Nature creates all things, where each has its own counter as seen within the doctrine of the Five Elements nurturing and restraining one another.

In fact, such a situation is not unique to the Human Race; take the Dragon Clan, for instance, whose physical bodies are robust, naturally possessing the ability to Call the Wind and Summon the Rain and control thundering lightning, yet they are precisely restrained by the Divine Skills of the Golden-furred Gibbon Clan.

Before the Jie Sect moved away from Kunlun Mountain, during the debates of the Three Doctrines, Golden Light Immortal easily defeated True Person Huanglong by relying on his Innate Divine Ability!

Additionally, some creatures containing the bloodline of the Kun Clan can also be restrained by the Feathered Clan.
