"Chaos Scorpion, one of the three thousand Chaos Demons before Pangu created the world."
"He didn't die in the creation calamity, but survived to the next generation, becoming a powerful figure at the weak Hunyuan realm!"
Cao Ya's expression was solemn. This was a notorious Chaos Demon God, cruel and bloodthirsty!
It's no wonder that the Haojing Immortal Formation couldn't withstand the attack and was forcibly destroyed!
"The Zhou Dynasty is completely finished," said Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Cao Ya pondered. After the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there should have been an Eastern Zhou Dynasty. However, that was during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The Zhou royal family gradually became a "mascot" and indeed lost its former glory as the "ruler of all under heaven".
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Cao Ya's eyes twitched. Outside the Chaos Demon Scorpion, he discovered the figures of a giant snake and a spider, stretching across the sky, their fierce aura spreading and intimidating the eight wastelands!
"The Chaos Serpent! The Chaos Demon Spider!" Guanyin Bodhisattva gasped in shock.
These two Chaos Demon Gods are no less powerful than the Chaos Demon Scorpion; both are powerful beings at the weak Primordial Chaos level!
"What exactly did the Zhou royal family do to provoke the three weak Hunyuan?" Guanyin Bodhisattva wondered.
Cao Ya then realized that the three Chaos Demon Gods, including the Sage who blocked the entrance to the Fire Cloud Cave, did not seek to destroy the Zhou Dynasty or raze Haojing to the ground. Their true aim was to weaken the human race's fortune and disrupt the course of Heaven's Dao.
"No wonder, there are three weak Hunyuan here in Haojing alone... not counting those who blocked the Huoyun Cave, there must be other Hunyuan and weak Hunyuan in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike."
Cao Ya felt a chill run down his spine. So many powerful figures were eyeing the human race. Although Huoyun Cave was strong and had Cao Ya, General Zhenwu, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, it was still difficult to match them!
Suddenly, a faint cry seemed to echo beside the two, carrying the meaning of time and shaking the very fabric of space and time.
"Donghuang Taiyi??" Cao Ya was horrified. In an instant, all sorts of profound mysteries intertwined and surged out, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles, while also protecting Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"It's not this ancient demon king, it seems to be... that Chaos Demon God!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked hesitant and uncertain.
She was much older than Cao Ya and had experienced many trials in the primordial universe.
His understanding of the bigwigs from all sides is, to a certain extent, superior to that of Cao Ya.
However, certain hidden relationships and the overall trend of events are not as clear to Cao Ya as the plot.
Of course, the [Primordial] universe has incorporated too many stories, with powerful figures and experts everywhere. No matter what the plot is, it will have to be changed, or even completely altered, which is quite normal.
"Whoosh." At that moment, time flowed by, the river of time rippled, and endless radiance spread out, constantly encroaching on the direction of Haojing.
Now, Guanyin Bodhisattva was completely certain of the visitor's identity.
"It's not Donghuang Taiyi, it's Chaos Mayfly!" Guanyin Bodhisattva breathed a sigh of relief.
"A chaotic mayfly?!" Cao Ya felt a slight sense of relief.
This Chaos Demon God surpasses the Chaos Scorpion, Chaos Serpent, and Chaos Spider, and is comparable to the Chaos Rabbit and Donghuang Taiyi. He is a genuine Primordial Saint!
Most importantly, the Chaos Mayfly became friendly with the human race and even passed down the Guangyin Daoist Method!
Its appearance was certainly not intended to destroy the Zhou Dynasty.
As expected, the chaotic mayfly flew by, and time flowed on, causing the three weak primordial beings to be wary.
Then, the three Chaos Demon Gods left one after another, not daring to linger in Haojing.
The war on the earth was ignored by the chaotic mayflies, who simply drifted away.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Ya and Guanyin Bodhisattva parted ways and traveled to all directions, displaying their supernatural powers. The "Cosmic Elixir Scripture" manifested its power, suppressing the rampaging demons and soldiers, and saving the people.
As the saying goes, "Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like fine brushes." The soldiers of Marquis Shen and Marquis Zeng, in the end, could not control themselves and colluded with demons, committing massacres and plundering.
To this, Cao Ya had only one word: "Kill!"
At the same time, due to the retreat of the weak Hunyuan, Cao Ya also witnessed that after the deaths of King You and Bofu, the states of Jin, Zheng, and Wei supported Yijiu as "King Ping" and escorted him eastward to Luoyi.
Duke Xiang of Qin also personally led troops to join the escort team, showing great loyalty.
King Ping, deeply grateful for Yi Jiu's kindness, publicly promised Duke Xiang of Qin: "The Rong people are wicked and rampant with demons, invading our lands of Qi and Feng. If Qin can drive them out, then we will possess these lands."
Cao Ya and many other immortals heard these words. The immortals sighed, lamenting that the once mighty Zhou Dynasty, which was renowned tens of thousands of years ago, had now fallen to such a state, having lost its homeland.
"The Qin state was also born..." But Cao Ya's expression was even more strange. Would King Ping know that his words would legitimize the rise of the Qin state?
However, with the Western Rong rampant and the Qin state newly established, it was no easy task to sweep across the Western Rong's territory.
Besides Qin, the states of Jin, Zheng, and Wei, among others, all received rewards for their meritorious service in protecting King Ping.
It doesn't necessarily have to be physical goods, but the mere act of expansion is enough to allow them to launch large-scale attacks on neighboring countries.
The fall of Haojing marked the end of the Zhou Dynasty, but King Ping moved the capital eastward, and the Zhou royal family still existed and retained a certain degree of authority. At that time, the feudal lords of the land did not dare to completely disregard the "Son of Zhou."
As for the subsequent provocations by Duke Zhuang of Zheng, which undermined the prestige of the Zhou emperor... those were all later events.
Even if the Zhou royal family is in decline and loses to a weak Hunyuan, it is not shameful.
Who can be sure that King Ping didn't possess any treasures left by the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty?
When the Shang dynasty fell and the Zhou dynasty rose, the orthodox teachings of the sages were abandoned, and the Chan sect supported Xiqi. It would not be surprising if Lingbao had given them a gift.
The feudal lords were also worried, but the Zhou royal family could still contact the immortals and gods of the Chan sect for support.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable does not show himself, so he cannot deal with weak Hunyuan cultivators, but he can handle Quasi-Saints, Daluo cultivators, and so on.
Guang Chengzi, Yun Zhongzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, and others are all great powers in the Earthly Immortal Realm!
Regardless of the facts, it's always good to be on the safe side and avoid any unexpected situations.
The western lands of Jambudvipa have all fallen, and currently, apart from Cao Ya, no one knows that the newly established Qin state can indeed be subdued and conquered one by one!
When the Zhou royal family moved east, the vassal states to the east suffered relatively little loss. Instead, the vassal states to the north and south seized the opportunity to rise to power and achieve hegemony!
The problem is that while the high-ranking officials of the court, protected by a large army, can relocate, and nobles can do the same, blending in with them, how can ordinary people travel hundreds of millions of miles to the central and eastern parts of Jambudvipa?
Cao Ya did not travel east. After witnessing the arrival of Duke Xiang of Qin, he returned to the western border, where he offered sacrifices to the White Emperor and Heaven at Xiquanqiu. He then led his troops to conquer the Quanrong, who were entrenched in the former territory of the Zhou Dynasty.
Many people, regardless of their feelings or whether they were Qin people, now had no choice but to follow the Qin state.
"Boom!" Cao Ya also made a move, helping to wipe out the demons and destroy the quasi-saints lurking in this place.
"Thank you, Lord Ketu!" Duke Xiang of Qin and the others were deeply grateful.
"No need to thank me. It's not easy to gain a foothold in the fallen western frontier," Cao Ya said.
"The ancestors of Qin throughout the ages have always dreamed of establishing a state! Now that this goal has been achieved, and with King Ping's golden words, if we do not do our utmost to unify the western border, what face will we have to meet our ancestors after we die?"
"Furthermore, with so many people following us and united in purpose, how can we let them down?"
Duke Xiang of Qin was extremely determined, resolute in his resolve to die, and would never back down!
He also knew that the rampant demons were supported by Hunyuan and Ruo Hunyuan.
Our own family does indeed have Celestial Immortals, Mysterious Immortals, Golden Immortals, and Great Luo Immortals, as well as Quasi-Saints, but it is still not enough to contend with them.
But this does not mean that the Qin state will submit and hand over hundreds of millions of miles of land in the west!
From top to bottom, everyone was determined to fight to the death!
"If we can succeed, with the western border as our base, there is hope that we can expand eastward and dominate the southern continent of Jambudvipa!" Cao Ya said. For the Qin state, this is both a danger and an opportunity.
"Haha, Lord Ketu thinks too highly of us." Duke Xiang of Qin laughed twice, and the soldiers around him couldn't help but laugh as well.
What's the point of conquering the southern continent of Jambudvipa... Just being able to establish a foothold in the western border, protect the human race, and fight against demons is enough to make us happy. We wouldn't dare to think so much.
Cao Ya looked around. Although the Qin state was newly established, its ruler was determined to fight, and most of the soldiers were people who had lost their homeland and were burning with anger. Their fighting spirit was beyond doubt.
"According to history, Duke Xiang of Qin led his troops to Qishan, the former territory of Western Zhou, but he also died on the battlefield, his body wrapped in a horse's hide."
"If even the king is like this, how many soldiers below him have died or been wounded? Their bones buried on the battlefield..."
Cao Ya sighed, "Humanity has never lacked warriors!"
The "great prosperity of the human race" brought about by the will of Heaven is, in reality, the result of generations of outstanding individuals fighting to the death!
Cao Ya was not a Qin person and had no intention of joining this journey to revitalize the state.
What he could do was to kill as many powerful demons, quasi-saints, and great immortals as possible in the western part of Jambudvipa.
Although there are many experts coming south from Beiju Luzhou, they are not infinite. Even with the support of various powerful forces at the Mixed Origin and Weak Mixed Origin levels, the number of Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Immortals is still not limitless.
Of course, Cao Ya also had to be careful to guard against attacks from those above the weak Hunyuan level.
If we were to confront them directly, we would surely be outmatched and might even die suddenly!
After bidding farewell to the Qin Kingdom, Cao Ya flew into the sky, his profound and surging laws overwhelming him, and he annihilated two or three Quasi-Saints and more than ten Great Luo Immortals!
During this time, he also encountered danger and was targeted by several quasi-saints. Cao Ya used his great supernatural powers to break through the encirclement!
Soon after, Cao Ya arrived near Mount Hua and annihilated a quasi-saint demon at the second level of the Heavenly Realm. The demon's corpse dissolved and merged into the earth, nourishing the fields.
"Hmm?" Cao Ya suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had smelled the scent of death.
A terrifying aura spread across the Huashan region, crushing the ages and shattering the void.
"Chaotic Demon Scorpion?" Cao Ya's expression changed. This was exactly the same as the aura of one of the three weak Primordial Chaos beings he had sensed when Gaojing was destroyed.
"Did I really provoke the killing intent of a weak Hunyuan?" Cao Ya held his breath and tried to fly away to avoid the Chaos Demon Scorpion.
At that moment, Cao Ya's divine sense perceived a unique law of the Great Dao.
Despite his fear, Cao Ya still pondered for a moment, then concealed himself and disappeared into the void.
Soon, a beautiful figure, dressed in white, descended from the sky.
"Boom!" Immediately afterwards, a magical treasure floated down from the heavens.
The beautiful figure seemed to understand, and with a wave of her hand, she took the magic treasure.
"Buzz..." In an instant, the spiritual treasure shone brightly, like a lamp that supported the heavens and the earth.
"What kind of thing can gain the recognition of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure as its master?"
The Chaos Scorpion tore through the void, its demonic power surging, and a vast area spanning billions of miles seemed on the verge of collapse.
"My name is Yang Chan. Today, I have received the Lotus Lantern from the Goddess Nuwa, and I will surely annihilate you, you demon!"
With a clear shout, the woman held the Lotus Lantern in her hand. She gained some insight and instantly broke through from the peak of the Great Luo realm to the first level of the Quasi-Saint realm!
However, upon first entering the Quasi-Saint realm, he is still far inferior to a weak Primordial Chaos cultivator.
Only with the help of the Chaos Treasure - the Lotus Lantern, was Yang Chan able to fight against the Chaos Demon Scorpion!
Although Yang Chan didn't understand why she had won the favor of Nuwa and been bestowed with the Lotus Lantern, she couldn't bear to see the suffering on earth.
"Rumble!!" Yang Chan's pretty face turned solemn as she made a hand seal, channeling her power into the Lotus Lantern.
In an instant, the Chaos Treasure emitted divine light, illuminating the nine heavens and covering the ten lands.
The Lotus Lantern, capable of opening the heavens and destroying the world, displays the power of a first-class spiritual treasure, directly confronting the Chaos Demon Scorpion!
Even if it was a Chaos Demon God of Weak Primordial Chaos, the Lotus Lantern was not afraid at all.
It also protected Yang Chan from being corrupted by the Chaos Scorpion and falling into depravity on the spot.
Cao Ya secretly pondered, realizing that this was the time when Yang Chan obtained the Lotus Lantern and became the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua!
As for fighting the Chaos Demon Scorpion... the Lotus Lantern was very strong, but Yang Chan was a bit weak. After the initial probing, Yang Chan fell into a disadvantageous position and faced many dangers.
If the Lotus Lantern hadn't been a first-class Chaos Treasure, it would have been far too powerful and would have been breached by the Chaos Demon Scorpion long ago, along with the destruction of Yang Chan.
Cao Ya would not stand idly by; he activated the profound mysteries of the laws and suddenly attacked!
"Whoosh!!" A burst of bright light shot out, and the cycle of reincarnation invaded. Flames, lightning, sword light, and other elements roared as they struck the Chaos Scorpion.
"Do you think I didn't notice you?" Chaos Scorpion sneered. How sharp was the divine sense of a weak Primordial Chaos cultivator?
If the Star Lord Ketu also has a Chaos Spiritual Treasure that recognizes its master, and can conceal its aura, it might be possible to deceive him.
Unfortunately, the one whom the Lotus Lantern recognized was Yang Chan, a Quasi-Saint at the first level...
"Empress Nuwa, though she is of the Primordial Chaos realm, has lost her mind."
"Without personally descending to the mortal realm, does she think she can kill me with just her Chaos Spiritual Treasure and a few Quasi-Saints?"
"That's a gross underestimation of the Chaos God! Even if I haven't yet reached the Primordial Saint Realm!"
The Chaos Scorpion sneered, its eyes filled with coldness. With a flick of its tail, it blocked the Lotus Lantern, preventing its rich divine light from falling.
His claws formed a hand seal, drawing upon the Great Dao, and a demonic roar pierced through time and space!
"Snap." Cao Ya's myriad profound mysteries collapsed on the spot, unable to bear the weak primordial Dao.
If he himself was not at the fourth level of Quasi-Saint, his overall combat strength would be slightly superior to that of the ninth level of Quasi-Saint, touching the threshold of the Weak Primordial Chaos Realm, and he also had the Lotus Lantern to restrain the Chaos Demon Scorpion's strongest killing move...
I'm afraid Cao Ya won't be able to dodge at all and will die instantly!
"Go." Cao Ya's eyes were resolute, and a world of Niwan Palace (a concept in Chinese astrology) suddenly collapsed.
At the same time, from another direction, a valiant and extraordinary man emerged, wielding a three-pointed double-edged spear, wearing an ancient Taoist robe, and accompanied by a large black dog with sharp teeth capable of crushing spiritual treasures!
"Second Brother! You and Xiaotian Dog are here too?" Yang Chan asked in surprise.
"Erlang is worried about you," said the Celestial Hound, traversing space, wanting to bite, but then hesitating.
Don't let yourself get corrupted instead of biting the Chaos Scorpion...
"Shut up!" Yang Jian shouted, signaling Xiaotianquan to stay behind and leave the main battle to him, Jidu Xingjun, his third sister, and Baolian Lantern!
"The universe is the dantian, and the stars are the golden elixir..."
Cao Ya muttered to himself, all the mysteries receded, and his entire being became a giant source of attraction, with unparalleled gravity that could swallow light and tear apart the Great Dao!
The only thing that remains unchanged is that the Niwan Palace world is still working with the Lotus Lantern to imprison the Chaos Demon Scorpion!
"Lord Ketu, Lord Qingyuan Miaodao, and the Lotus Lantern..."
