Therefore, the three races joined forces and invited a group of innate gods and humans, including Hongjun Ancestor, Qiankun Ancestor, Diandao Ancestor, Qiongtian Ancestor, Xiantian Ancestor, and Wuji Ancestor, to eliminate the scourge of the prehistoric world, Luohou.
These innate deities, led by the aforementioned individuals, each possessed immense supernatural powers and unfathomable magical strength. The Celestial Ancestor, for example, was formed from a portion of the innate pure energy, making his magical power incomparably profound. The others were similar, but these innate deities usually cultivated alone, and no one knew just how powerful they were.
These innate deities all looked down on each other and were full of confidence in their own skills. They were invited by the three clans because Luo Hou's skills were too domineering, and they were all afraid of him, so they had no choice but to come out of the mountains.
At this moment, Hongjun appeared to be a middle-aged man with a kind and honest face, giving him an instantly trustworthy look. Hongjun usually didn't display any particularly special qualities; he always presented himself as a good-natured person.
When the great gods met, they glanced at each other, exchanged greetings, and then ignored each other. Finally, seeing that the situation was difficult to resolve, the leaders of the three clans discussed among themselves and decided to besiege Luo Hou. However, this was opposed by the great gods. Although they considered themselves experts and feared Luo Hou, they only feared his techniques and did not respect him. They all decided to take action themselves and wait and see who would kill Luo Hou in the end.
After several major battles, the three races were greatly weakened. When they heard the gods say this, they sighed inwardly, but they knew they could not change anything, so they agreed to their suggestion.
The innate gods had good intentions, but the result was the worst compared to others. Although the innate gods were much more advanced than the three races, they did not have a complete cultivation technique. Moreover, how could this demonic art be so easily suppressed? Just like in later generations, although there were few times when the demonic path and the righteous path were evenly matched, there were times when the righteous path was terrified of the demonic path. Underestimating their opponent, the innate gods suffered repeated defeats and were eventually forced into the Western World by Luo Hou, where they were besieged. At this time, Luo Hou's World-Destroying Demon Body was almost perfected. Although the innate gods each possessed their own supernatural powers, they were powerless against Luo Hou. Finally, driven to desperation, the three races took the lead and all self-destructed. Seeing the ferocity of the three races, the five ancestors—Qiankun Ancestor, Diandao Ancestor, Qiongtian Ancestor, Xiantian Ancestor, and Wuji Ancestor—were filled with resentment for their arrogance, which had caused the deaths of countless innocent people. Coupled with the influence of Luo Hou's demonic arts, they all felt utterly hopeless. In the end, the five of them joined forces to self-destruct, severely injuring Luo Hou and reducing the twelfth-grade black lotus to the sixth grade. Xuan Tian felt a pang of pain in his heart at the sight.
Just then, a person appeared. It was none other than: "High above the nine heavens, on a futon, I have attained the Dao. Beyond the true heavens and earth, I shall be the master of the sect, Pangu who gave birth to Taiji. The two polarities and four symbols follow the one path to pass on to the three friends. The two sects, Chan and Jie, are divided into the Xuanmen, and the leader of all sects. I have transformed into Hongjun." Hongjun had been quite inconspicuous in the previous battles, and when the three races self-destructed, he disappeared without a trace.
Now it has appeared. Seeing that Luo Hou was seriously injured, Hong Jun walked over and sighed to Luo Hou: "Your sins are heavy, and you have to suffer this calamity. I will destroy you on behalf of all living beings in the prehistoric world."
"Hongjun, you cowardly rat, you attacked me while I was seriously injured..." Before Luo Hou could finish speaking, he was killed by Hongjun. Afterwards, seeing that Luo Hou's physical body was not destroyed, Hongjun refined it into four swords and sighed, "You and I are both protagonists of the Great Tribulation, but because you did not understand the will of Heaven, you ended up with your body and soul destroyed. Now your body has been refined into swords by me, and you have gathered the killing energy of the world into your body to kill all living beings in the world. Therefore, I will name you the Four Swords of Zhuxian."
Xuan Tian was startled. The Four Swords of Zhuxian? Damn it, so they were transformed from Luo Hou's physical body. No wonder they had such power. Seeing Hong Jun take away the sixth-grade black lotus and the Lidi Guangyan Banner that Luo Hou had stolen, Xuan Tian cried out in regret.
Then, a great merit descended upon Hongjun. After receiving this merit, Hongjun returned to Buzhou Mountain to cultivate in seclusion. Having witnessed so many things, Xuantian also planned to explore Penglai Island again. Hongjun would probably become a saint in another tens of thousands of years, so he had to plan for his future.
The rise of the Seven Liches, the Ancestral Witch Houtu
Although the primordial gods and the patriarchs of the three primordial races ultimately succeeded in killing Luo Hou, the losses were heavy, with the exception of Hongjun Ancestor, the others either killed or seriously injured. Furthermore, the three primordial races sacrificed eighty to ninety percent of their elite forces to annihilate Luo Hou's remaining subordinates. From then on, the three primordial races were no longer able to dominate the primordial world, retreating to outer realms or hiding in the four seas. Moreover, due to the loss of so many elites, many profound cultivation methods of the three races were gradually lost, and from then on, few of the three races possessed high-level cultivation, making a resurgence impossible.
Xuan Tian was also nearby when they surrounded and killed Luo Hou. At this time, Xuan Tian had already reached the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but he did not make a move. Instead, he hid to the side and watched quietly.
During this great calamity, the three races and most of the innate gods perished. The three races withdrew from the stage of the protagonists of heaven and earth, and most of the innate gods disappeared. Hongjun was unharmed, which is probably closely related to this matter.
With the withdrawal of the three races, the primordial world enjoyed a rare period of peace. Although the struggles within the primordial world never ceased, gradually, the Wu and Yao races, who had not participated in the war, began to show signs of vying to become the main players in the primordial world after thousands of years of development.
The Wu Clan has twelve Ancestral Witches, a lineage unbroken. They do not cultivate their primordial spirit, but prefer to cultivate their physical strength. They are twelve streams of essence released from Pangu's body when he was about to dissipate, born from the turbid energy of heaven and earth, and possessing the strength of a Great Luo Immortal from birth. These twelve Ancestral Witches are: Gonggong, the Water God, with a python's head and a human body, riding two black dragons, with a large blue python wrapped around his hand, and his entire body covered in black scales, most skilled in controlling water.
Zhu Rong, the god of fire, has the head of an animal and the body of a human. He rides on two fire dragons, wears two fire snakes through his ears, and is covered in fiery red scales. He is most skilled at controlling fire.
