Pangu nearly killed the Primordial Demon Lord with just one breath. Fortunately, his life was not over yet, and at the critical moment, a black lotus seed flew in from the sky.
The original demon lord seized the opportunity to escape into the lotus seed, thus avoiding this calamity.
However, it was still firmly suppressed within that chaotic fragment by the mountain formed from that wisp of immortal energy.
Later, Pangu supported the heavens and the earth, but when he was exhausted, he perished and transformed into the sun, moon, stars, and all things in the universe. That fragment of chaos also fell into the East Sea and evolved into Fangzhang Island.
Before Pangu perished, in order to completely suppress the primordial demon lord and prevent him from wreaking havoc on the primordial world he had created, he summoned a primordial five-needle pine from afar.
He casually infused a bit of creation into the Five-Needle Pine, and then sent the Innate Five-Needle Pine into that fragment of chaos.
Time flies like an arrow, and years pass like a shuttle. As Fangzhang Island gradually took shape, the Primordial Demon Lord slowly recovered his strength with the power of that lotus seed. The Five-Needle Pine also quickly gained sentience with the help of Pangu's creation and began to show signs of transformation...
Finally, one day, the Five Needle Pine Tree of Innate Nature took human form first.
He knew very well why Pangu had bestowed creation upon him, so he immediately went to the immortal mountain that suppressed the primordial demon lord.
It was discovered that the original Demon Lord had not wasted his time over the years; his demonic power had become extremely abundant, to the point that even the immortal mountain could not completely block the release of demonic energy.
Moreover, nourished by demonic energy, the lotus seed gradually evolved into a twelve-petaled lotus platform.
The immortal mountain that originally suppressed him also changed shape during the process of evolving into the lotus platform, transforming into the shape of a lotus flower.
The Five Elements Daoist came here with the intention of taking this opportunity to completely annihilate the Primordial Demon Lord and rid the future prehistoric world of a great scourge.
However, upon arriving at the scene, he realized that the original demon lord had recovered his strength far too quickly. With his current strength, facing this demon lord, let alone killing him, he should be thanking his lucky stars if he could avoid being harmed by him.
Helpless, he could only reinforce the mountain's seal to prevent the original demon lord from breaking free.
There are no other options left...
And so, while cultivating, the Five Elements Daoist kept watch over the Primordial Demon Lord. Many years passed, and Fangzhang Island was finally born.
But he didn't expect that the Primordial Demon Lord would also see a turning point, finally breaking free from the seal and emerging into the world along with the Immortal Island...
...
After reading Wu Yun Dao Ren's memory, Hu Le understood the cause and effect. He saw that Wu Yun Dao Ren had a look of self-reproach on his face, as if he was blaming himself for not protecting the Primordial Demon Lord and failing Pangu's entrustment.
He smiled and comforted him, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to blame yourself. Their birth is the will of Heaven, and you cannot be blamed for it."
The Five Elements Daoist was quite accomplished and knew the workings of fate, so how could he not know this principle? Yet, when he thought of Pangu, he still felt deeply ashamed.
Pangu created him and helped him take human form, which is indeed a great blessing.
It should be understood that the world's top-tier innate spiritual roots, due to their extremely noble origins, have been subject to an invisible restriction by the Heavenly Dao, making their path to human form incredibly difficult.
Think about it, how many of the top-tier spiritual roots in the primordial world were able to successfully transform into human form?
Ginseng fruit tree?
Zhen Yuanzi is not the ginseng fruit tree itself; he merely borrowed a ginseng fruit to transform into human form.
gourd spirit root?
Hu Le was only able to escape thanks to the fortune of a certain gourd; he cannot be considered a true spiritual being.
Hibiscus tree?
It's still planted in Tang Valley, and has no chance to take human form.
Laurel tree? Yellow plum? Flat peach root? Immortal apricot? Bitter bamboo?
These top-tier spiritual roots have either disappeared or been tragically split apart, their fate seemingly even worse than that of the Fusang tree...
Of all the top spiritual roots, the one known to have truly manifested through spiritual root transformation is the Bodhi spiritual root, which is also known as the Zhunti Daoist.
As for the Guide Daoist, his origins are extremely secretive. All that is known is that he was born from a lotus root. Whether his true form is a top-grade innate spiritual root is something that ordinary people cannot know.
The fact that these two were able to become the Primordial Lords of Hunyuan, just like Pangu and the Three Pure Ones, shows just how profound their foundation was after the transformation of top-tier spiritual roots.
Now, in addition to these two, the Primordial World has gained another innate saint with top-grade spiritual roots, namely the Five Elements Daoist.
This shows how great a favor it was for Pangu to help this person take human form.
After all, as the embodiment of a top-tier innate spiritual root, he was all too aware of the extent of the constraints that the Heavenly Dao imposed on spiritual roots...
...
The Primordial Demon Lord stood atop a massive black lotus, his body shrouded in demonic energy. He glanced at the Golden Spirit Mother and the Tortoise Spirit Mother opposite him and saw that their faces were ashen.
Clearly, they knew they had committed a grave offense this time...
"My two young friends, considering the great service you have rendered to this Demon Lord, if you are willing to become my disciples now, then this Demon Lord may show leniency and spare your lives."
The Primal Demon Lord looked at the two women with a smile, showing none of the agitation and irritability he had displayed before.
"Bah! You fiend, you want us to betray our sect? You're dreaming!"
With a fierce shout, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit mustered her remaining strength and unleashed a sword aura that slashed out at the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.
The Primordial Demon Lord also knew the power of this sword, and the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus beneath him suddenly shone brightly, enveloping him within it.
With a flash of sword light, it struck the black lotus.
After trembling for a moment, the lotus flower dissipated the sword light.
The Immortal Slayer Sword is indeed an innate and supreme sword weapon, containing boundless killing power.
However, the extent of its power also depends on who wields it.
If the Tongtian Daoist were to unleash this sword, even the Primordial Demon Lord would not dare to take it lightly. Even if he were to ultimately withstand the sword strike, it would certainly not be so easy.
But now, in the hands of the Golden Spirit Mother, after unleashing a sword strike, even a single lotus flower released from the twelfth-grade lotus platform could not harm her.
Having failed with her first strike, the Golden Spirit Mother already knew the extent of her weakness, and turned to greet the Tortoise Spirit Mother.
"Junior sister! Let's go!"
The two women simultaneously transformed into streaks of clear light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the heavens.
"hehe……"
The Primal Demon Lord shook his head and chuckled, then flicked his finger and unleashed two bolts of lightning that struck the two women one after the other.
"ah……"
The two women screamed almost simultaneously, their ethereal light dissipated, revealing their true forms, and they plummeted from the sky.
The Primal Demon Lord slowly reached out and grabbed at the two women from a distance.
As the master of the demonic path, he possessed countless demonic supernatural powers and techniques. Once he captured the two women, he had plenty of ways to make them submit to his sect.
He still harbored a sliver of compassion for the people who rescued him...
Just as a large hand shrouded in demonic energy grabbed the two women, a sharp shout suddenly rang out from afar.
"Don't you dare hurt my junior sister!"
Accompanying the sound was a dazzling and sharp sword light.
The sword light traversed the void, arriving in an instant and striking the demonic claw, shredding it to pieces...
