The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"When do you plan to set off?" Wei Chen asked.

"All matters concerning the clan have been arranged, and the army has been assembled. I am ready to depart at any time. After I leave, the safety of the Vermilion Bird Clan is entrusted to you!" Vermilion Bird said.

Wei Chen pondered for a moment. Zhu Que must have made a big discovery since he left in such a hurry.

He suddenly moved closer to Zhuque, put his arm around her shoulder, and the two whispered to each other.

"Have you discovered that some great treasure has been discovered somewhere?"

"Hehe~ Not bad, I've been keeping an eye on it for dozens of years!"

"So long? Why didn't you act sooner? Aren't you afraid someone else will beat you to it?"

"You're thinking too simply. Slaughtering one or two Beast Kings is easy, but what about the others? What if it attracts a massive attack from ferocious beasts on the south?"

"Furthermore, I don't know what kind of treasure it is, or even if there is any treasure at all. This is just my guess."

"Tell me!"

"Do you still remember the Sky-Splitting Rhinoceros, the Rhinoceros Ape, the Zhaqi, and the Hell-Scythe Demon?" Suzaku asked.

“Of course I remember. That was the first time we met, how could I forget?” Wei Chen said.

“They are now the kings of beasts!” the Vermilion Bird said solemnly.

"How is this possible?" Wei Chen's first reaction was disbelief. He could somewhat believe that the Yu Xiao Lian Demon Beast Emperor had become a Beast King. But the Lie Tian Si Ge, the Xie Yuan, and the Zhuo Xing were only Beast Kings; how could they have advanced to Beast King in just a few hundred Yuan Hui?

It should be known that all the ferocious beasts in the primordial world were formed from the flesh and blood of chaotic demons or chaotic beasts.

The more flesh and blood one obtains, as well as the more memories one inherits, the better one's physical body will be.

All Beast Kings possess at least a core piece of flesh and blood, and have inherited certain memories.

The Beast King, at its peak, was merely a piece of insignificant flesh and blood, and would not inherit any memories. It only possessed the resentment and obsessions left behind by some Chaos Demon Gods before their deaths.

Under such restrictions, with neither the transmission of the cultivation method nor the memories of the Chaos Demon God, and with a flawed Dao body, how could he possibly transform into a Beast King?

“It is indeed impossible. But what if they obtain a great opportunity? In addition, they can devour their own kind to complete their Dao bodies,” the Vermilion Bird said slowly.

“This…” Wei Chen pondered.

If a ferocious beast receives powerful treasures and devours enough of its own kind, it could indeed transform into a beast king.

"I suspect they most likely obtained a great treasure. They hibernated together for hundreds of eons until they transformed into beast kings before emerging into the world."

At this point, Suzaku's eyes burned with fervor. "I've been sending people to monitor them, and although I haven't gathered any useful information, I have learned that they often go into seclusion together. That must be where they hide their treasures, where they study the most precious artifacts together."

“In that case, you should go quickly! I’ll leave the Vermilion Bird Clan to you,” Wei Chen said.

"Okay, after I leave, have Zhu Ming come and assist you." Zhu Que nodded and left Nanshan.

Not long after Zhuque left, Zhu Ming arrived.

Zhu Ming informed Wei Chen about the current situation in the prehistoric world and the strength of the forces in the south.

Wei Chen nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I need these spiritual materials. I wonder if your Vermilion Bird Clan has any in its treasury?"

After saying that, Wei Chen took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhu Ming.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming was utterly astonished. Who was Wei Chen? How wealthy was he? He knew very well. Why would he now be asking his Vermilion Bird Clan for spiritual materials?

However, he quickly realized what was happening, took the jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and immediately took a deep breath.

"No?" Wei Chen raised an eyebrow.

"No..." Zhu Ming shook his head. "Do you need it now? I'll fetch it for you right away."

"Go!" Wei Chen waved his hand.

After Zhu Ming walked away, Wei Chen sighed. He reminisced about the days when he was the richest man in the entire primordial world.

But now, apart from the spirit treasure, all the spiritual materials have been used up.

It was all inside his body, becoming a half-finished spiritual treasure.

Wei Chen wanted to forge a natal treasure, which was also a life-saving treasure.

This also led to him going from being the richest man in the world to being penniless.

Now we don't have any spiritual materials to set up a grand formation, so we can only ask the Vermilion Bird Clan for them.

"I hope it takes shape soon!" Wei Chen whispered.

Although he became penniless, he did not regret it.

Because once this treasure is forged, it's like having an extra life.

Even in the most perilous times, during a great calamity, it cannot take his life.

However, it would take too long to refine such a treasure, and he couldn't wait that long.

If you want quick results, there is a way, and that is to go to extremes!

"This treasure must be nurtured and perfected within ten Yuanhui." Wei Chen's face hardened.

He wanted to forge it using the blood and bones of innate deities, and the required quantity was quite large.

Wei Chen sat cross-legged in the pavilion, quietly waiting for Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming was very efficient and provided Wei Chen with all the spiritual materials he needed.

Wei Chen smiled with satisfaction. "Zhu Que often praises you in front of me, saying that you are shrewd and capable, and that is indeed the case."

He needs a lot of spiritual materials, including many top-grade innate spiritual materials.

Even some forces on par with the Vermilion Bird Clan wouldn't necessarily bring it out so quickly, let alone Zhu Ming, who is just an elder.

This demonstrates his great courage and high prestige.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me!" Zhu Ming smiled, his attitude respectful. "The great kindness you have shown to my Vermilion Bird Clan is something we will always remember. What are a few spiritual materials compared to that?"

"Haha, okay, here you go." Wei Chen tossed the cultivation insights he had prepared and a ball of creation energy to Zhu Ming, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the void.

Zhu Ming held the cultivation enlightenment crystal and the energy of creation in his hands.

He was overjoyed, his excitement evident in his words.

"The path to greatness is within reach..."

. . . . . .

The Vermilion Bird concealed its aura and used the Map of Mountains and Rivers to lead billions of its people across the void.

They sped along the road and arrived at their destination after several years.

"Go! That treasure belongs to our clan!" Zhuque handed the Map of Mountains and Rivers to the wild woman before him.

She was tall with wheat-colored skin and an arrogant expression; her ample bosom made all other women feel ashamed.

This person is none other than Zhu Zhu, the seventh elder of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

"Sister..." Zhu Zhu tried to say something, but was interrupted by Zhu Que. "You don't believe me?"

"not me……"

"Why don't you go quickly then?"

"Alright!" Zhu Zhu reluctantly accepted the Map of Mountains and Rivers and led billions of her people to seize the treasure.

The Vermilion Bird's eyes were fixed on the earth, its face filled with fervor.

Below is a gathering place for ferocious beasts, with billions of beasts, countless beast kings, tens of thousands of beast emperors, and more than a hundred half-beast emperors.

There are three Beast Kings: Yu Xiaolianmo, Zhuanxing, and Lietian Sige.

The ferocious beasts of today are no longer as rampant and destructive as they were when they first took human form.

All the ferocious beasts huddled together on the ground, in clumps of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

The ferocious beasts were surrounded by black swirling with wisps of crimson, and the aura they exuded was enough to make even ordinary Great Luo Gods tremble.

Zhuque observed carefully and saw that the three Beast Kings were entrenched in the treasure vault. The powerful beasts all centered around the treasure vault, expanding outwards from it.

After waiting for more than an hour, Zhuque secretly calculated that the time had come. Zhuzhu should have already arrived at the treasure's location.

Without much hesitation, Zhuque took a deep breath. Her beautiful eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and her clothes fluttered in the wind.

She was already dignified and aloof, but at this moment she appeared even more so, adding a touch of solitary and chilling demeanor to her.

"Roar..." At this moment, the Beast King finally discovered the presence of the Vermilion Bird and roared in fury.

Before the Beast King could even issue a command, a sharp shout resounded for thousands of miles.

"A wildfire spreads..."

With this shout, the sun and moon lost their color, the mountains and rivers went dark, and the heavens and earth trembled.

Zhuque's hair danced wildly, her hands forming lotus seals, and boundless black flames suddenly appeared in the void sky.

The black flames poured down like a vast ocean, with raging waves and surging tides, and also like the Milky Way hanging down from the sky.

Such terrifying divine power caused the heavens and earth to groan in agony.
