Chapter Fourteen: The Vast Expanse of Primal Forces

  Where there is life, there is struggle. For billions of years, countless branches and races have been born, and countless lives have died. In the vast universe, only the fittest survive, and the law of the jungle is fully revealed: the high dominate the low, the strong dominate the weak.

  In the 2 billion years of the Primordial Universe, the gods and demons fought incessantly. These demon gods formed countless small forces, either for self-preservation or to control a region. Gradually, three major races and numerous small forces were formed. The scaled tribe led by the dragon tribe, the walking beast tribe led by the Qilin, and the flying bird tribe led by the Phoenix. Most of the creatures in the Primordial Universe depended on these three major tribes.

  These three ethnic groups worship the "Northern Wù Earth Xuanwu, Southern Bǐng Fire Fenghuang, Central Rén Water Qilin, Eastern Jiǎ Wood Qinglong, Western Gēng Metal White Tiger" as the most revered. The Five Elements Holy Beasts were born from the primordial source of the Five Elements and had the mission to suppress the four directions and five directions of heaven and earth since their birth. The Eastern Jiǎ Wood Qinglong, Western Gēng Metal White Tiger, Southern Bǐng Fire Fenghuang, Northern Wù Earth Xuanwu, and Central Rén Water Qilin each control a system of rules, with the Five Elements generating and circulating endlessly, controlling the balance of all living things' growth.

  The five sacred beasts suppress the five directions of heaven and earth, the three major clans worship the seven-colored phoenix Tianfeng of the Phoenix clan, the five-colored Qilin Moyun of the Qilin clan, and the nine-clawed dragon Zu Long of the Dragon clan as the kings of the three major clans. They command millions of billions of people from the three major clans on the Eastern continent! Among them, Zu Long has already achieved quasi-saintly eleven-heaven cultivation, controlling the rules of water. Tianfeng and Moyun both have quasi-saintly ten-heaven cultivation, with Tianfeng controlling the rules of fire and Moyun controlling the rules of earth.

  The vast and boundless land of the Primordial Chaos has numerous powerful beings, including those who surpass the three major tribes in strength. For example: Taiji Laozu, Tiantian Laozu, Wuxing Laozu, Qiongtian Laozu, Xiantian Laozu, Wuji Laozu and other quasi-saint level powerful beings.

  There are also the Three Purities, who were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. The Great Clarity is an old man with the cultivation of the Golden Immortal of Daluo's peak period. The Jade Clarity is a middle-aged person with wealth and nobility, having the cultivation of the later period of the Golden Immortal of Daluo. The Upper Clarity is a young man also with the cultivation of the later period of the Golden Immortal of Daluo. The Three Purities were born from the Heaven and Earth's womb as the second batch of pre-heavenly gods, thus they emerged relatively late and are not quite saints.

  There are twelve ancestral witches formed by the combination of Pangu's twelve drops of essence and the pre-heavenly turbid air. These twelve ancestral witches are: Chui Shou: with a full body covered in golden scales, a golden snake piercing his left ear, stepping on two golden dragons, with a human face and tiger body, wings growing from his shoulders, the western golden ancestor witch

  Meng Po: green wood color bird face human body foot on two green dragons, ancestor of eastern wood sorcery

  Gonggong: A serpent-headed man with feet treading on two black dragons and hands wrapped around a giant green snake, his entire body covered in black scales, skilled at manipulating the primordial waters of the north, the ancestral water deity of the north.

  Zhurong: Beast head, human body, two ears pierced with two fire snakes, feet treading on two fire dragons, whole body covered in fiery red scales, ancestor of southern fire sorcery.

  Houtu: Human body with snake tail, seven hands behind back and two hands in front holding two snakes, ancestor of central earth Wu

  Tian Wu: Eight Trigrams, human face tiger body ten tails, ancestor of wind sorcery

  Xuán Míng: Full-body bone spurs, giant beast, ancestor of rain witches

  Qiang Liang: The tiger-headed man holds two yellow snakes, the ancestor of thunder magic

  Hui Zhi: Human face, bird body, two green snakes hanging from ears, holding two red snakes in hands, ancestor of thunder sorcery.

  Emperor Jiang: Human face, bird body with four fleshy wings on its back, chest front, abdomen, double legs and six claws. Good at speed, one flap of the four wings is 280,000 kilometers, whole body red scales, ancestor of space speed magic.

  Jiǔyīn: Human face snake body all over crimson red, in charge of the operation of the sun and moon, ancestor of time witch.

  Xī Zhì: Human head and beast body, wearing two green snakes on the ears, in charge of weather, also known as drought demon, ancestor of weather witch.

  The twelve ancestral witches are extremely powerful, but because they lack a yuan Shen, they cannot control the pre-heavenly spiritual treasures in the universe and can only use them as weapons. They cannot bring out the true power of these pre-heavenly spiritual treasures. Without a yuan Shen, they do not cultivate Taoist methods, so their long-range attacks are rare, and their strongest abilities belong to close combat. The twelve ancestral witches' cultivation has all reached the late stage of Da Luo Jin Xian.

  The Taiyi Emperor Jun, the Huaxu and Nuwa of Buzhou Mountain, the Kunpeng of the North Ming... These powerful gods are just a few gathered together. Without the power of a true saint or above, even if they have reached the level of Daluo Jinxian, they cannot withstand the siege of numbers! Therefore, many powerful Daluo Jinxians do not easily offend the three major tribes of Honghuang, either keeping a distance and hiding, or closing their doors to cultivate in secret, or gathering together for self-protection. Of course, the three major tribes will also not easily provoke them.

  Apart from the three major races, there is another force that can rival the three major forces, and that is Luo's demonic sect. Luo is the essence of the Chaos Evil Energy and the Chaos Demon God, who created the Indestructible Demon Art and has now reached the quasi-saint realm of twelve heavens. He obtained the pre-heavenly treasure, the Exterminating Immortal Sword and the Exterminating Immortal Array Diagram, which were born from the combination of the Chaos Evil Energy and the Chaos Embryo. Each of the four swords has thirty-nine seals, and the array diagram also has thirty-nine seals, combining to form a total of forty-three seals for the Exterminating Immortal Array.

  Also obtained a twelve-product black lotus, this twelve-product black lotus is the four lotus seeds of the thirty-six product green lotus of the chaotic treasure, green, gold, red and black. The black lotus seed absorbed the opening day killing gas in the Hongyuan for tens of billions of years to form, is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, with thirty-nine forbidden, can suppress the air transport. The golden lotus seed generated a twelve-product golden lotus, which was obtained by the old ancestor of Hongyuan and given to the Western teaching as an introduction, for the Western teaching to suppress the air transport. The red lotus seed fell into the blood sea, generating a twelve-product blood lotus, which was obtained by the old ancestor of Minghe, for the Asura tribe to suppress the air transport. The green lotus seed is unknown where it went.

  Luó quickly unified the entire Western Continent with his own powerful strength, and although the Western Continent's billions of kilometers were not as rich in spiritual veins as the Eastern Continent, it was influenced by the Western Qīng Jīn (Metal) energy. The living beings of the West were strong and warlike, and their actual strength was not much different from that of the Eastern Continent. Luó quickly gathered tens of thousands of billions of followers, and established the Demon Sect in the Western Continent. The sect had twelve elders, each with a cultivation level close to that of a late-stage Golden Immortal.

  Luojia, with tens of billions of gods and demons under his account, has lectured and guided them multiple times, resulting in rapid progress in their cultivation. Hundreds of billions have attained the Immortal Path, among whom tens of millions have become Taiyi Heaven Immortals! The twelve elders have even broken through to the later stages of Daluo Golden Immortality.

  For a billion years, the twelve elders of the Demon Sect led the twelve routes of the Demon Army to occupy the land in an orderly manner towards the Eastern Continent. They secretly recruited countless small and medium-sized forces from the Eastern Continent, and gradually, the entire edge of the Eastern Continent became the territory of the Demon Sect. The high-ranking members of the Demon Sect also secretly subdued countless cultivators from the three major ethnic groups and arranged for them to return as moles, using them to constantly provoke conflicts between the lower levels of the three major ethnic groups.

  The lower-class people of the three major ethnic groups began to lose their lives constantly due to these struggles, and over time, the countless grudges from these small struggles accumulated to a terrible extent. The three major ethnic groups had so many grudges against each other that they accounted for 40% of the total population of the ethnic groups. The high-level leaders of the three major ethnic groups were unable to control this situation and could only try their best to prevent the high-end members of their respective ethnic groups from getting involved in the struggles.

  But as the three major ethnic groups' high-end people died unexpectedly, under the scrutiny of the three major ethnic groups' high-level officials, all clues pointed to each other's ethnic group members, but the murderer was nowhere to be found! In this situation, the high-level officials of the three major ethnic groups began to indulge in the struggle among their subordinates, and countless people from the three major ethnic groups died or were injured over the years.

  For the Primordial Gods and Devils, time is the cheapest thing. It has already been 44 billion years since the opening of heaven and earth. The three major tribes of the Primordials have ruled the Eastern Continent for almost 900 million years since their birth.

  The phrase "prosperity and decline" is indeed true. The endless struggle among the three major ethnic groups over the years has resulted in nearly 30% of the population being killed or injured, with countless high-ranking members also falling. The overall strength has declined drastically! The massive death toll has left many territories completely out of control, leaving them to fend for themselves. The intense infighting among the three major ethnic groups has caused widespread panic among innocent civilians, and even the wise men have all relocated overseas, far away from the Eastern Continent!
