...

In the boundless star domain filled with fleeting lights, the cosmos space was rendered mysterious and eerie.

Hong Jun stood in the starry sky, gazing lightly at Li Qingming, said: "Qingmingzi, do you realize the turbulence your actions could cause to the Huaxia Land and All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds?"

Li Qingming glanced at Hong Jun, ignoring him. Instead, he walked slowly to Xuanhu’s side and said, "Sly fox, stop pretending! Although these injuries might cause you significant harm, they’re not enough to take your little life! Hurry up and get up!"

Saying this, Li Qingming kicked without hesitation.

"Boom!"

Xuanhu, curling his body, was kicked dozens of meters away by Li Qingming. Only then did he climb out of the void with a gloomy face, his look towards Li Qingming filled with grievance, surprise, and indescribable dejection.

Hong Jun, unconcerned by Li Qingming’s attitude towards himself, remotely bowed to Xuanhu and said, "Fellow Daoist, it seems you have lost this time!"

Xuanhu’s face was so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it, he stared hatefully at Hong Jun and said, "Old Loach, fine, very fine!"

"Sly fox, don’t think just because you are a Chaotic Demon God you can be so arrogant! In this world, there are plenty who can easily deal with you!" Li Qingming frowned, Old Loach, who are you to call him that? Appearing lightning-fast beside Xuanhu, he kicked again.

"Crack!"

The clear sound of bones cracking followed as this forceful kick sent Xuanhu flying once again, but this time toward the direction of Shen Zhou. A kick sent him toward the Western Realm.

"Ah, Qingmingzi, this sovereign won’t let this go!" Xuanhu’s thunderous roar came from afar, echoing endlessly in the infinite star domain.

Jie Yin watched this bizarre scene, dumbfounded, taking a while to regain his senses.

Dragging his constantly bleeding body, he walked slowly before Hong Jun, performed a single-handed Buddha Power salute, and said, "Amitabha Buddha! Tao Ancestor, now that Zhunti has perished, Shen Zhou will surely fall into chaos! This humble monk must hurry back to the Western Realm to deal with the emergencies. I shall take my leave!"

Hong Jun seemed as if he didn’t see Jie Yin, his vacant eyes staring straight at Li Qingming, causing Li Qingming to feel uneasy.

Li Qingming, getting goosebumps from this old man’s stare, finally spoke after a long while, "Alright, alright, I am scared of you now!"

Then, Li Qingming waved towards Jie Yin’s bleeding arm, releasing a stream of Yuqing Immortal Energy filled with infinite Dao charm, flowing down his arm, directly dissolving the Rule of Power.

Jie Yin frowned, touched his left shoulder which had stopped bleeding and was continuously healing, and said, "Thanks, Fellow Daoist!"

Li Qingming lightly sneered, "Don’t thank me so quickly! You can forget about this arm, consider it the price for your actions this time!"

"This was our own doing; no one else to blame! Well, I’ll leave now!" Jie Yin showed a hint of understanding, then disappeared into the void with an indifferent remark.

Li Qingming watched Jie Yin’s departing figure, a flicker of light sparkling in his eyes.

"Qingmingzi, this act of slaying the saint is a sorrow shared by Heaven and Earth. Now, on Huaxia Divine Land, demons dance wildly, the land crumbles, and lakes and seas invade the inland. Countless living beings are in dire straits. If you don’t think of a solution, this karma will fall upon you!" Hong Jun, glancing at the departing Jie Yin, suddenly said to Li Qingming.

Li Qingming grimaced, shouting into the void, "Master, Uncle Master, and all Fellow Daoists, have you seen enough? If you have, come out!"

"Boom!"

The void exploded, and suddenly, numerous unfathomably deep spatial rifts appeared in the dark star domain. The Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi, Netherworld River, Nuwa, Hao Tian, Shui Yuanzi...one after another, notable Primordial Great Powers since the beginning of the Primordial World, emerged from the spatial rifts.

Li Qingming, ignoring those unrelated people, walked straight to The Three Pure Ones and respectfully bowed, "Disciple Qingmingzi, pays respect to Master, Uncle Master, and Grand Uncle! May the Saints live forever!"

The Three Pure Ones, smiling warmly, the Primordial said, "Qingmingzi, you are far more formidable than us three old folks!"

"Master is jesting!" Li Qingming touched his smooth chin, turned his head to look around at the Primordial Great Powers, and ridiculed, "Did you all enjoy the show quite a bit?"

Many Primordial Great Powers of the Shen Zhou showed awkward expressions.

"You have time to enjoy the show, but don’t you have time to help the Human Clan clear out those Outer Heaven Demons?" Li Qingming sneered, "The Human Clan is the protagonist of this Calamity, if anything happens to them, it’s a minor issue if the sky falls and the earth sinks. That’s all I have to say, act wisely!"

Li Qingming finished speaking, turned around, and tore through the space to leave.

At this moment, chaos reigned over the Huaxia Divine Land, with demons running wild.

Among the Human Clan, some members were enveloped in black aura, their eyes blood-red, wildly burning, killing, robbing, and looting within the tribes with stone axes and hammers in hand; others were desperately resisting the changed tribesmen, hoping they would return to their original sunny and modest selves.

Each tribe was witnessing almost the same scenario.

The sacred land of the Human Clan, Chen Capital.

"Master, at this moment, the heavenly secrets are in disarray, and the stars are topsy-turvy, utterly chaotic! Many of our Human Clan tribes have turned into playgrounds for demons! What, what should we do?" Luo He, standing in the hall, was filled with an anxious expression.

Fu Xi frowned deeply, looking in the direction of Western Continent, and said, "The three main stars representing the West Extreme are now hidden. And by the side of these main stars, a puzzling star has suddenly risen, guarded by Tan Lang and Po Jun, forming a ’Killing Wolf’ formation. Moreover, when the Western Extreme’s main star was concealed earlier, it brought an anomalous phenomenon, and Outer Heaven Demons have invaded our Huaxia Land. Alas, our Human Clan is about to face another great calamity!"

"Master, why not dispatch all the cultivators from the Human Clan’s Tributor Pavilion to each tribe, to eliminate these Outer Heaven Demons. Also send an envoy to the Heavenly Court to request the Jade Emperor to send down Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to assist our Human Clan!" Ling Chen, standing behind Luo He, bowed deeply to Fu Xi and spoke.

Since recovering from his injuries that day, he had abandoned his previous joking lifestyle and became more steady and calm.

This Tributor Pavilion was established by Fu Xi to ensure the safety of the Human Clan after Li Qianqiu appeared, similar to the special agency of Jinyiwei in later generations.

The tributors within the pavilion were cultivators from the Human Clan, specially invited by Fu Xi from various famous mountains and rivers. While there were no cultivators above the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, they all were cultivators of the Human Clan who had stepped forward during the Great Calamity of the past.

Fu Xi had immense respect for such a group of blood-tempered and extremely loyal cultivators.

Fu Xi stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "Good, let’s follow this plan! Ling Chen, hurry to the Tributor Pavilion and instruct the tributors to head to the affected Human Clan tribes and eliminate as many Outer Heaven Demons as possible to preserve our Human Clan’s strength. Luo He, go in my stead to the Heavenly Court, assuming Hao Tian is also worried about this situation!"

Luo He and Ling Chen bowed in unison, saying, "We will follow Master’s orders!"

"Report!"

Just then, a guard suddenly walked in from outside; he knelt on one knee to the ground, bowing deeply and said, "Reporting to the Emperor of Humans, Miss Hong Chou has just returned to Chen Capital and is currently waiting outside the hall!"

"Oh? Really?" Fu Xi stood up from his seat, looking at the guard below, and commanded, "Quickly, invite her in!"

The guard obeyed and exited the hall.

Luo He and Ling Chen heaved a sigh of relief and exchanged a smile.

After a short while, the stunningly beautiful Hong Chou entered the hall; she bowed deeply to Fu Xi, saying, "Disciple Hong Chou pays respects to Master!"

Fu Xi scrutinized Hong Chou for a while and exclaimed, "Good, good, good! It’s good that you’re back!"

Hong Chou’s face showed a hint of guilt; she kowtowed to the ground with a strained voice, saying, "Hong Chou has failed Master’s trust, drifting for years above the East Sea yet still unable to find the Innate Jianmu, and also offended the East Sea Dragon Clan. Please punish me, Master!"

Fu Xi stepped forward to help Hong Chou up, looking at her guilt-ridden face, and said, "Hong Chou, the Innate Jianmu has already been found, and the reverse channel is now complete; there’s no need to worry about this anymore. Furthermore, about the issue with the East Sea Dragon Clan, the East Sea Dragon King has personally explained it to me in detail. It’s not your fault, why do you take it to heart?"

Hearing this, Hong Chou’s eyes welled up with tears, and she stood up, her voice slightly choked as she said, "Thank you, Master!"

"Alright, it’s a critical period now, we don’t have time to dwell on emotional matters!" Fu Xi patted Hong Chou’s shoulder, his expression suddenly became serious, "Hong Chou, go rest for a day, and after a day, head to the nearest tribe. From then on, start from Chen Capital and slowly spread to the surrounding areas, aiding those clan members whose minds have been bewitched by the Outer Heaven Demons!"

Hong Chou blinked her watery eyes, looking puzzled at Fu Xi, and asked, "Outer Heaven Demons? Master, what happened?"

Fu Xi strode out of the hall without turning back and said, "Ask Luo He about this matter, I have other important things to attend to!"

...

While the Human Clan was busily preparing to eradicate the demons, Xiao Tian had already led the Demon Slaves to the Jiang Clan Tribe which had long turned into ruins.

"Master, did we come to the wrong place?" The sly-looking guy closely following Xiao Tian, observed the deserted and scarred land, leaned towards Xiao Tian and said.

"Hmm?" Xiao Tian waved his hand, picked up a handful of soil still emanating an endless destructive aura, sniffed it under his nose, and said, "It seems the Saints
