Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 164 The Tragedy of the Human Race
Five thousand years later.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

As the yellow dragon's magic power surged, the last innate spiritual object turned into a stream of light and merged into the black umbrella in front of it, completing the refining.

This black umbrella is exactly the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella, which is an innate spiritual treasure of extremely high quality.

However, in ancient times, he suffered extremely serious damage in the battle with the Nine Nether Ghost Mother.

From then on, the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella could no longer exert even 10% of its power, and even the true spirit and soul imprisoned by the Nine Nether Ghost Mother were difficult to summon out.

But after Huang Long spent a large amount of innate spiritual objects and countless evil ghosts and wronged souls, he not only repaired it intact, but even the upper limit became higher.

Today, the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella has 48 divine prohibitions and is only a step away from becoming an innate treasure.

And on it, countless great runes are engraved, surrounded by the rich laws of life and death, mysterious and profound.

Even someone as powerful as the Golden Immortal would become addicted to it after just one look, causing his spirit to become unstable, and his soul might even be sucked into the Nine Netherworld Soul-Calming Umbrella, unable to escape forever.

In addition, during this period, Huang Long also created two innate formations, named the Nine Netherworld Soul-Binding Formation and the Five Directions Yin Gathering Formation.

Under Huang Long's instructions, the Nine Netherworld Soul-Binding Array was set up in the underworld.

The Five Directions Gathering Yin Array is based on Taozhi Mountain, Dangzhong Mountain, Luofu Mountain, Luofeng Mountain and Baodui Mountain, and is arranged on the prehistoric land.

After making these three arrangements, Huang Long finally felt relieved.

……

At the same time, heaven.

Di Jun and other powerful demons confirmed the wonders of the human race.

In order to gain more advantages in the battle with the Witch Clan, they made many attempts.

Finally, after conducting thousands of experiments on the demon clan, the conclusion was reached, confirming that human flesh and blood can enhance the demon clan's cultivation, and that the magic weapons refined from souls have the effect of restraining the witch clan.

To be on the safe side, Di Jun ordered Gui Cha to go down to earth in person, massacre a large human tribe, and use the souls of millions of humans to refine an acquired spiritual treasure.

After using this weapon to massacre a small witch tribe, the witch tribe's strong physique became obviously more fragile in front of this weapon.

When Emperor Jun learned about this, he felt mixed emotions.

The joy, of course, is because there is a method to restrain the true body of the Ancestral Witch.

If he could use more human souls as materials to refine more powerful spiritual treasures, he might be able to end the life of the Ancestral Witch, completely resolve the war that has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and secure the orthodox throne of heaven.

The reason for worry is that the human race has the support of two saints behind it.

If only tens of millions of people were killed, the saints might not take any action, but if it was a large-scale massacre, they would definitely not sit idly by.

"Your Majesty, please do not hesitate any longer."

"If I can collect a large number of human souls, refine a witch-killing sword, and destroy the witch clan, I can truly rule the world and sit firmly on the throne of the prehistoric world. With the luck of the prehistoric world, why should I worry about not being able to achieve the great way?"

"By then, even saints will have to bow down to the heavens."

"What's more, the fact that we were able to discover the secret of the human race so smoothly is a sign of heaven. Even if the saints noticed something, they would not take action as long as we don't kill all the human race."

A cold light flashed in Kunpeng's eyes. After hearing what he said, most of the powerful monsters present became interested.

If the obstacle of the Witch Clan can be eliminated, the Heavenly Court will surely gain more luck, and at least be able to monopolize 70% of the luck of the prehistoric world.

By that time, their cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and their Taoism will rise steadily.

Perhaps it won’t be long before they can become quasi-saints or even saints!

Di Jun was silent, thinking about the pros and cons.

If there is no intervention from the saint, then refining the Witch-Slaying Sword will only benefit the Heavenly Court and not cause any harm.

However, if the two saints stand on the side of the witch clan because of this matter and attack the heaven together, then the heaven will be in danger of destruction, and the demon clan will also come to an end.

If successful, he will unify the ancient world and sit firmly on the throne of the master of heaven and earth.

If you fail, you will have nothing to rely on, and everything will turn into smoke.

For a moment, Di Jun found it difficult to make a decision.

Fuxi was firmly opposed to this matter, believing that it was against the harmony of nature and would consume a great deal of the luck and blessings of the demon clan. Once the saint took action, he would undoubtedly be digging his own grave.

Unfortunately, because of his relationship with Nuwa, neither Di Jun nor other powerful people of the demon clan gave a very clear evaluation of what he said.

Finally, Di Jun's gaze fell on Bai Ze.

"Bai Ze, what do you think about this?"

If we talk about knowledge, none of the powerful demons present would dare to say that they are definitely better than Bai Ze.

Although it was Bai Ze's advice that forced them to join the Heavenly Court, even to this day, they still dislike Bai Ze.

But it is undeniable that in terms of strategy and insight, Bai Ze is far superior to them.

Bai Ze still attended the meeting in his original form and saw that Emperor Jun had already made a choice in his mind.

The reason he asked this was just to find a reason to convince himself.

Rather than seeking opinions and suggestions, it is more like wanting a step, a step that would allow him to make his decision naturally.

Thinking of this, Bai Ze stretched out his hoof and touched his chin, and said meaningfully:

"Your Majesty, the key to this matter lies in whether the saints will take action. In this case, why not ask the two saints for their opinions?"

Upon hearing this, all the monsters remained silent.

Whether they like it or not, they have to admit that what Bai Ze said is true.

If they really decide to take action against the human race, they will have to deal with the two saints.

If they don't agree, then the demon race will undoubtedly be digging their own graves and will end up in a tragic end.

A few days later, Bai Ze watched Di Jun leave and sighed in his heart.

He finally understood why joining the Heavenly Palace would lead to a disaster in which one would be in danger of death and have little chance of survival.

Even if the demons massacred the human race, refined the witch-killing sword, and eliminated the witch clan, which was their biggest threat, they would not have a good ending in the end.

The human race may seem insignificant, but since both saints gained enlightenment through this race, it means that the human race contains certain secrets.

Unfortunately, Di Jun and many powerful people of the demon clan were blinded by the dual hopes of destroying the witch clan and gathering the luck of heaven and earth, and their minds were blinded by the calamity that came with the catastrophe.

This is why he couldn't see this clearly and was only thinking about destroying the witch clan.

……

Emperor Jun transformed into a ray of rainbow light and went straight into the sky beyond heaven.

However, he stayed in front of Jinxiutian for more than two hundred years, but Nuwa still showed no intention of showing up.

After thinking for a moment, he expressed his thoughts and waited for another hundred years. Seeing that Nuwa had not appeared yet, he bowed to the Nuwa Palace.

"Thank you saint."

Inside the Queen Nuwa Palace, Nuwa looked at the Heavenly Shackles beside her, her brows furrowed and her face gloomy.

More than three hundred years ago, when Di Jun came to Jinxiutian, she had a feeling and knew the purpose of Di Jun's visit.

Naturally, she did not agree with the demon race slaughtering the human race on a large scale, using the human souls to refine the Witch-Slaying Sword, and making it impossible for billions of human beings to even be reborn.

Even though she knew that this was the catastrophe that humans had to go through if they wanted to become the protagonists of heaven and earth, she still disagreed with it.

But just as she was about to object to Di Jun's request, dozens of chains made of the Great Dao and based on the Heavenly Dao suddenly appeared beside her, forming a pair of shackles that trapped her in the Queen Wa Palace.

At the same time, Hongjun's voice sounded in her ears.

"The will of heaven cannot be violated. This is a calamity that the human race must go through!" Although he knew that the human race would not perish because of this, he was still dissatisfied with the result. For the first time, he began to waver in his position as the Saint of Heaven.

If one becomes a saint but still can't do anything, and can't even protect the race he created, what's the point of being a saint?
……

Shouyang Mountain.

Without letting Emperor Jun wait too long, Saint Taiqing ordered the boy to pass on the message.

"The human race cannot be destroyed, and the human race cannot be extinct!"

"Thank you saint!"

Di Jun bowed and left with satisfaction.

The words of Saint Taiqing tacitly approved of what he would do next. As long as the human race still had fire, the saint would not interfere in the matter.

Inside the Eight Views Palace.

The eyes of the Saint Taiqing were indifferent, without any emotion.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

He knew that this was a disaster that the human race had to go through.

The Saint Taiqing is different from Nuwa. He practices the way of inaction.

Just as he did not interfere with the human race leaving Shouyang Mountain, he will not interfere with the disaster that the human race will have to go through next.

It will be the same in the future. As long as the human race does not encounter a disaster of genocide, he will not intervene.

But he felt both emotional and regretful about Di Jun's choice.

Emperor Jun was originally the Lord of Heaven and the orthodox ruler of the ancient world. He was responsible for governing all things in the ancient world and maintaining order between heaven and earth.

He also needs to follow the procedures and continue to rule the Nine Heavens. The demon clan can still sit firmly in the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth, and he is still the master of heaven and earth.

No matter it is this era or the next era, the demon race will prosper. Although they cannot attain sainthood, at least their race Chang'an has supreme power.

But now he has chosen another path, a more dangerous path.

After all, he was not a qualified emperor. In essence, he was still a seeker of truth and a practitioner of Taoism.

As a cultivator, he naturally wouldn't want his cultivation to stagnate.

From the perspective of a seeker of the Tao, Sage Taiqing fully agrees with Di Jun's approach. The great path is difficult, and if one cannot seize opportunities and face challenges head-on, then there is no need to practice this path anymore.

However, from the perspective of the leader of the human religion, looking at Di Jun from the perspective of the leader of the Heavenly Court and the demon clan, the Sage Taiqing felt that he was too radical and was pushing the demon clan into a dead end.

Perhaps it was because Di Jun still had a strong desire to seek the truth that the calamity energy took advantage of the opportunity and finally made this decision.

"The catastrophe is coming..."

Saint Taiqing sighed softly, this catastrophe is not only the catastrophe that the human race will face next, but also the catastrophe that will happen in the future.

Although he did not have the memories of a time traveler and could not calculate what the specific disaster would be, he could feel that a great disaster was about to come and the ancient world would usher in new changes.

……

After obtaining the tacit consent of the two saints, Di Jun immediately returned to heaven, and wisps of calamity energy gradually spread between heaven and earth.

Many powerful people in the prehistoric world vaguely felt that something was wrong, and they all activated large formations to restrain their tribesmen from going out easily.

In the Biyou Palace, Shangqing shook his head and sighed, "This world is no longer peaceful."

In Yuxu Palace, Yuqing sneered, "After all, he is a short-sighted beast. If he does something that is against the harmony of heaven, do you still want to have a good ending?"

On Mount Sumeru, the two saints from the West looked sad and wanted to do something, but they were afraid when they looked down at the ground.

In the netherworld, Hou Tu looked towards Guixu, "I hope Huang Long's arrangement can work, so that these creatures won't be able to reincarnate after death..."

Return to the ruins.

"The catastrophe is about to begin..."

It’s also a great catastrophe, but what Huang Long is talking about is not the great catastrophe of the human race, but the catastrophe of the wizard and demon races, but the prehistoric world.

There will be no accidents in this calamity for the human race. The human race will surely survive it and will become stronger through setbacks, gradually establishing its position as the protagonist of the world.

In fact, the great catastrophe of the human race is just an introduction to the final battle between the Lich and the Demon!

Huang Long has made many preparations for this disaster.

His gaze looked downward, penetrating the endless void and falling into the underworld.

Whether it is the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers, or the underworld races such as the Nether Dragon, they are all making final preparations.

Huang Long didn't know exactly when Di Jun would start refining the Tuwu Sword, as he was blinded by the calamity energy. He could only make as many preparations as possible.

More than three thousand years later.

Huang Long looked up at the sky, seeing the demons gathering in large numbers, and sighed.

"here we go……"

He did not help the human race. This was a test from heaven and earth to the human race. No matter whether it was a saint of heaven or a saint of earth, it was not appropriate for them to intervene directly.

Moreover, Hongjun's gaze was always on Guixu, which was both a statement of attitude and a warning.

His meaning was very clear. If Huang Long dared to ruin his plans, he would turn the table over. He had been planning for so many years and would never allow failure!

Huang Long naturally didn't care about this, as he had never interfered in the great catastrophe of the human race.

In this great catastrophe for the human race, all he had to do was to maintain the authority of the underground.

……

Chiyan tribe.

This gathering of tens of millions of humans is one of the large human tribes in the northwest of the prehistoric world.

For thousands of years, they have been hunting and gathering, reproducing, and practicing qigong here.

Although there were minor disasters and hardships during that period, there were no major disasters and life was relatively comfortable, which is why there are tens of millions of people today.

But on this day, the Chiyan tribe suffered an unprecedented massacre.

Millions of demons arrived and started killing people here.

In just a moment, the Chiyan tribe was flooded with blood, and countless people were killed and wounded. Both the human race and other races living in the tribe were massacred.

These monsters had high cultivation levels, and some were led by Golden Immortals of Great Luo. Even though the tribal leader had reached the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, he was no match for the monsters and was easily killed by them.

Such scenes also occur in every corner of the primitive land.

No matter where, no matter what the scale, as long as the human race exists, they will be massacred by the demons.

By using the wronged souls, the power of the Witch-Slaying Sword can be increased to a higher level.

Therefore, all the monsters followed the order carefully and did not kill the humans in one blow.

Instead, they slowly forced the human race into a desperate situation, using all kinds of cruel means to make them die in pain and despair, causing them to die with resentment and turning into wronged souls filled with resentment.

For example, when they were in the Rock and Earth Tribe, the demons captured the young and strong, dismembered the old, weak, women and children in front of them, and ate the flesh and blood of humans raw, driving them crazy in anger, desperate in madness, and finally dying in despair.

For example, when attacking the Qingshui tribe, the demons imprisoned all the humans, cut off their food, and let them starve for several months.

Then, he cast an illusion on half of the starving humans, forcing them to eat their own people. He then removed the illusion and saw this scene played out again...

In just ten years, hundreds of millions of human beings were killed or injured, and the number was still rising at a terrifying rate. The resentment that soared to the sky covered all the human tribes...
