Shouyang Mountain.

Through Taiching, Xuandou also learned about the massacre of the Human Race. He stood in front of the Eight Scenic Palace, no longer able to maintain his usual state of detachment and Supreme Forgetfulness. He wanted to ask his teacher to protect the Human Race but was well aware that Taiching, being a Saint, would not agree to his request.

"Go!"

Taiching sighed softly and handed the "Taiji Diagram" and "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Treasure Tower" to Xuandou: "As a Heavenly Dao Saint, it’s not proper for me to intervene, but you share the same origin with those humans. It is only righteous for you to intervene. Doing nothing is doing something; you should not be bound by the usual doctrines I’ve taught you!"

"Yes!"

Xuandou was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Taiching waved his hand and smiled, "Only by picking up can you put down! Although your Dao heart is clear, in this regard, you are not as accomplished as Xuanqing!"

Suddenly, space fluctuated, and then the earth spun and the sky turned; Xuandou appeared at the base of Shouyang Mountain.

He bowed to Shouyang Mountain and then hurried towards the nearby Human Clan Tribe. He knew his own strength and had no intention of confronting the Demon Clan directly.

"Taiji Diagram, suppress!"

If any demons tried to stop him, he would immediately deploy the Innate Treasure. The Yin Yang Qi manifested, and the endless Great Dao’s radiance instantly converged into a golden bridge to the other shore.

Ordinary Daluo could not resist this force. Seizing the opportunity, he gathered the participating members of each Human Clan Tribe into the "Qiankun Map."

Protected by the "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Treasure Tower," not to mention those Daluo Demon Gods, even if the ten great Demon Saints took action, they could not harm a single hair on him.

"Brother Xuandou?"

Suddenly, Xuandou heard a familiar call, but upon looking up, he realized it was a strange Human Cultivator manipulating a sky full of toxic miasma.

He frowned slightly, somewhat uncertain, and immediately asked tentatively, "Junior Brother Xuanqing?"

The incarnation of the Plague Dao nodded at once.

He was originally sent by Xuanqing to search for surviving members of the Human Race in this direction but unexpectedly encountered Xuandou, the only direct disciple of the Human Sect here.

"The Humans from our ancestral land, I have already moved them into the Mountain and River Map. The Western Humans are temporarily safe under the protection of Immortal Zhenyuan."

"The Northern Human Clan Tribe has mostly been massacred by Demon Saint Jiu Ying’s followers. Only less than ten percent of the Humans escaped to the vicinity of Buzhou Mountain, protected by the Witch Clan, and the demons temporarily dare not approach."

"My true form, along with Ziyi, You Chao, and others, are fully searching for the surviving Humans in the south!"

"The east is up to you!"

After briefly summarizing the current situation to Xuandou, he was willing to help, which likely meant more of the Human Race could be saved than expected.

"Good!"

Xuandou nodded, his words succinct, "I will do my best!"

At this time, he had no time to exchange pleasantries with Xuanqing. The Demon Clan’s strength greatly surpassed the Human Race, and those leading the massacres were either Daluo Demon Gods or Demon Kings at the peak of Taiyi, each commanding legions of demons. Each moment of delay might mean a few more Human Clan Tribes slaughtered.

And Xuanqing was also relieved. Although his great-teacher uncle did not show up, Xuandou’s descent from the mountain sufficiently reflected his great-teacher uncle’s attitude!

On the other hand, having returned severely injured, Jiu Ying had also informed Emperor Jun about Immortal Zhenyuan’s protection of the Human Race.

He sighed and instructed Donghuang Taiyi, "Taiyi, make a move! There’s no need to severely injure Immortal Zhenyuan, just keep him near Longevity Mountain!"

After thinking for a moment, he called one of the ten great Demon Saints, Fei Lian: "Jiu Ying has been seriously injured by Immortal Zhenyuan and needs time to recuperate. The task of collecting Human Race essence, blood, and souls to forge the Sorcerer Slayer Sword will be yours!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fei Lian nodded immediately.

As long as Donghuang Taiyi kept Immortal Zhenyuan occupied, he did not believe anyone could stop the Demon Clan from collecting the souls of the Human Race.

...

"Phew!"

The endless great battles exhausted Xuanqing, as he and others like Ziyi and You Chao of the Human Clan Daluo were no match against the Daluo Demon Gods.

It was not that they were too weak; rather, the Daluo Demon Gods were veterans of countless battles, adept in magical duels, and possessed various powerful innate divine abilities.

In this era, the Demon Clan was the protagonist!

"These cursed demons!"

Unable to hold back, Ziyi cursed loudly. Despite their best efforts, hundreds of millions from the Human Race were slaughtered by the demon army.

The Human Race’s foundations were too shallow, with only a few Daluo, hardly enough to counter the Demon Clan.

If it were not for Xuanqing’s intervention, not even 30% of their people, let alone 10%, could have been saved.

So far, at least half of the Human Clan Tribes they passed through had been massacred by the demons, turning numerous tribes into ruins.

"In this world, strength is ultimately what matters! If the Human Race had a being as powerful as a Saint, even if the Demon Clan had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to slaughter the Human Race!" Hearing this, Xuanqing sighed, "The Human Clan is weak, and that’s why the demons act without restraint. Remember today’s humiliation and cultivate well!"

"There’s no tomorrow!"

Suddenly, a cold laugh came from the heavens: "Today is the day you shall all perish!"

Fei Lian, riding on a violent wind, appeared in front of Xuanqing and his group. He then immediately brandished an Innate Spiritual Treasure in the shape of a fan, ferociously unleashing a tornado towards them.

"Great Unity Wind!"

The horrifying storm, merged with the power of the void, instantly turned into a world-annihilating wind. Everything under the heavens turned into nothingness at that moment.

Demon Saint Fei Lian, who comprehended the Great Dao of Wind, wielded the "Chaotic Void Fan," capable of releasing the primordial "Great Unity Wind."

Moreover, he was particularly adept at tracking; as long as there traces left in the world, he could follow the guidance of the Wind Great Dao to locate Xuanqing and others.

"Go!"

Xuanqing shouted.

He then immediately took Ziyi, You Chao, and the others into the Mountain and River Map.

Demon Saint Fei Lian was a Quasi-Saint with unmatched speed; Xuanqing didn’t plan to confront him outright.

"Power of Wind and Thunder!"

"Straight Golden Light!"

"Sword Escape Skill!"

Xuanqing exerted all his strength. His physical body transformed into a rainbow light, attached to the Pure Yang Sword, and simultaneously mobilized the "Power of Wind and Thunder" and the strenuously cultivated "Straight Golden Light," enhancing his own speed far beyond that of an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal.

If the opponent was merely a Daluo, Xuanqing would not fear, but facing a Quasi-Saint who had transcended one corpus and also possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure highly compatible with his own Great Dao, he was definitely no match.

This, he was very clear about!

A Quasi-Saint is the ultimate evolution of a Daluo, and although it doesn’t lead to a qualitative change, it has already triggered a quantitative change.

Whether in terms of physical body, Primordial Spirit, or mana, a Quasi-Saint could utterly crush a Daluo Golden Immortal Cultivator.

"Think you can escape that easily?"

Seeing Xuanqing’s decisive action, Fei Lian was somewhat surprised, but his cultivation in the Great Dao of Wind made him the fastest in the Primordial World, so how could he let Xuanqing and the others escape?

Among the many Quasi-Saint powerhouses in the Primordial World, his strength might not be at the forefront, but his speed surely held a place.

Xuanqing also felt very troubled.

For the first time, he felt powerless in terms of speed and began to doubt himself.

Thus, he could only persistently utilize incarnation techniques, deploying various divine skills, hoping to slow down Fei Lian’s speed to widen the distance between them.

Unfortunately, despite exhausting all means, he still couldn’t shake off Fei Lian!
