The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

Carrying world-destroying black flames, the Vermilion Bird fearlessly traverses through hordes of millions of ferocious beasts, burning or pulverizing them—such is its domineering and tyrannical nature.

"Good!" Wei Chen's blood boiled, and he couldn't wait to show his skills. He shouted, "The ruler determines the square and circle."

A circle enveloped the eighteen-armed demon ape, and at the center of the circle was a ruler gleaming with purple light, which slashed through the void and struck the demon ape.

"Roar!" The eighteen-armed demonic ape roared, its ferocious power overwhelming, as it wielded its eighteen long staffs to meet the ruler.

Bang! The divine power exploded, the aftershocks rippling outwards like a stone thrown into a calm lake. The terrifying aftershocks annihilated ferocious beasts below the Golden Immortal level.

Both sides retreated. Wei Chen's arm went numb. These ferocious beasts were indeed powerful. The Primordial Measuring Ruler was a treasure of the innate level, yet it couldn't seriously injure it in one move.

Now Wei Chen no longer dared to take the idea of ​​being invincible among his peers to heart. This was just a corner of the south where the ferocious beasts were so powerful. How vast was the prehistoric world, and how many ferocious beasts were there?

Not to mention anything far ahead, he might not even be able to defeat the Vermilion Bird right in front of him.

"Roar!" The demonic ape roared madly, shaking the void. A hole several meters in size appeared in its chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain. However, it quickly began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Who are you? I am the Demon Ape." The eighteen-armed demon ape said solemnly, having to take it seriously, as it was injured in a single move.

"Death, the ruler will divide the land!" Wei Chen roared. The ferocious beast was his mortal enemy, and any further words would be a waste of breath.

A burst of purple light appeared in the void, and countless dazzling rulers fell like raindrops.

The ape was furious. It was a supreme ruler of its domain, and now it had been ignored. This enraged it so much that it immediately abandoned any thought of reconciliation.

"Buzz!"

Eighteen arms danced and tumbled in the void, waves of air rippled outwards, blocking all the rulers that were about to strike.

"Hmph! A ruler can break all laws—" Seeing that the ruler could not harm the ape, Wei Chen used his best skill.

The ruler emitted a restrained purple light, without any frills. It stretched and grew infinitely larger, piercing straight into the ape.

Bang! The ruler pierced straight through the ape's chest, its momentum undiminished, carrying several unfortunate beasts with it, until it reached the ground with a boom, and the ruler disappeared into the mountain.

"Roar!" The ape roared in shock and fury, not expecting its opponent to be so powerful. "Our race, kill him!"

Countless ferocious beasts turned and charged towards Wei Chen.

"Hmph, a ruler can divide rivers and mountains." Wei Chen sneered, and a rain of ruler-shaped light suddenly appeared in the void, falling towards the horde of ferocious beasts.

Having suffered a silent loss from being roared at by millions of ferocious beasts in unison, now is the perfect opportunity to get revenge.

Bang bang bang--

Ferocious beasts below the Taiyi Golden Immortal level couldn't even withstand a ruler's strike and fell from the void, creating huge craters.

"Screech—" The Vermilion Bird remained domineering and tyrannical, leaving ashes and dust scattered everywhere it passed.

The two-headed monster and the ferocious beast resembling a wild bull were both burned with holes by the world-destroying black flames, inside which the black flames raged and burned.

Millions of ferocious beasts were utterly helpless before the Vermilion Bird; blood rained down in the void, and countless severed limbs and broken bones fell to the ground.

Zhuque glanced at Wei Chen every now and then, her heart filled with shock. These ferocious beasts didn't recognize the Primordial Measuring Ruler, but she knew it very well. The Primordial Measuring Ruler was even more powerful and profound than innate treasures, possessing the ability to break through all laws under heaven and measure the entire universe.

Now that the Heavenly Dao has retreated from the world, the lineage of ferocious beasts is flourishing, and countless innate deities have retreated, not daring to confront its power for fear of perishing.

Hearing that there were innate deities in this place wantonly slaughtering ferocious beasts, she assumed that they were newly born innate deities who did not know the power of the beasts and were afraid that Wei Chen would perish, so she rushed over to try to win them over to the same side.

Now it seems things aren't as simple as she imagined.

"Drawing rivers and mountains with a ruler —"

Large swarms of ferocious beasts fell like meteors, leaving mountains of corpses and rivers of blood on the ground.

"Let's see how many moves you can withstand from this emperor. A foot can break ten thousand laws—" Wei Chen was furious when he saw that the ape hadn't fallen even after being hit by four feet of air.

They used every trick in the book to break through all obstacles, to see how many feet it could withstand.

"Roar!" The ape roared in fury, hurling eighteen long clubs at Wei Chen, then turned and fled.

Bang bang bang--

Wei Chen struck down with eighteen sticks, looking at the ferocious beasts surging like a tide. Helpless, it seemed he wouldn't be able to kill the ape today.

A flurry of rulers rained down, illuminating the void with purple light, while blood splattered everywhere—a scene both magnificent and tragic.

Wei Chen's black hair flowed freely, his features were flawless, and he emitted dazzling divine powers, making him appear like a celestial being descended to earth.

Before long, the ferocious beasts retreated, and Wei Chen did not pursue them. These millions of ferocious beasts were nothing more than a drop of water in the ocean compared to the primordial world.

It would be great if we could wipe them out completely, but it's okay if we can't kill them all; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

call out!

A stunningly beautiful figure landed before Wei Chen, dressed in a colorful long dress, her black hair gleaming, adorned with a sapphire blue and emerald green hairpin.

Her hands were as soft as tender shoots, her skin as smooth as cream, her neck as delicate as a cicada's, and her teeth as fine as melon seeds—

She possessed a noble and elegant demeanor, stunning beauty, and bright, dark eyes that could reflect a clear image. Her thick, long, and curled eyelashes fluttered occasionally, as if her eyes could speak.

Her red lips were like fire, her eyebrows were arched, and her features were so perfect they were unbelievable.

A slight ripple stirred in Wei Chen's calm Dao heart. If he had met such a beauty on Earth in his previous life, he would have been so captivated that he would have blushed and been speechless.

Now, his resolve to pursue the Dao is unwavering, and this moment of amazement is merely fleeting.

He smiled and bowed. "I, the Emperor Weichen, greet you, fellow Daoist. Thank you for your assistance."

He made a decision: from now on, he would refer to himself as "Emperor Weichen" and change his name to Emperor Weichen. Perhaps this way, more treasures would automatically come to him when he traveled through the prehistoric world.

"I, Vermilion Bird, are too kind, fellow Daoist! The ferocious beasts are brutal and do not know the will of Heaven. They wantonly destroy the primordial world and are our great enemies. There is no need for thanks!"

Zhuque returned the greeting with a melodious and graceful voice. Her smile was captivating, and in that instant, her beauty made the world pale in comparison.

Wei Chen's wicked thoughts showed signs of stirring, but then vanished without a trace. He laughed and said, "It was I who misspoke."

"What are your plans for the future, my friend?"

Zhuque asked with a smile, her large, expressive eyes sparkling. Her noble demeanor inspired no disrespect, yet it was impossible not to be captivated by her.

"I wish to travel through the primordial world and, incidentally, do my part to slay ferocious beasts."

Wei Chen answered truthfully, "It's not a secret, there's nothing to hide."

Zhuque's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said, "Our clan resides in the Undying Volcano. Why don't you join me in resisting the ferocious beasts?"

This is a truly powerful figure. If Wei Chen had joined another major power, that would be one thing, but now that he's all alone, we have to win him over no matter what.

Wei Chen not only possesses the Primordial Measuring Ruler, but his divine powers and techniques are also incredibly strong. If they could be won over, the Vermilion Bird Clan's combat strength would definitely rise to a new level.

"This..." Wei Chen pondered. If he had met such a peerless beauty when he had just transformed, he would have followed her shamelessly even if she hadn't said anything.

But now, cultivating the Tao is his only pursuit; everything else is insignificant.

He said with a slight apology, "I am by nature carefree and undisciplined, and I am afraid that I may cause trouble for you, fellow Daoist."

He wasn't stupid; how could he not understand what the Vermilion Bird meant? This was to make him join the Vermilion Bird Clan, which was very much against his original intention. To roam freely in the world was his pursuit.

“Fellow Daoist, there is no need to refuse. We are currently facing a great calamity of ferocious beasts. You are traveling alone in the prehistoric world, which is fraught with danger. If you join us, even the capital of the ferocious beasts will not dare to attack our territory.”

Zhuque naturally understood Weichen's tactful refusal, but it would be a pity to give up on such a powerful being.

"I have traversed the primordial world for over a hundred years. How could I be afraid of ferocious beasts? Even if I cannot defeat them, I have the ability to protect myself. Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry."

Wei Chen laughed and said, "No matter how many ferocious beasts there are, if we can't beat them, can't we at least run away?"

As long as you are careful and don't get surrounded by ferocious beasts, you will be absolutely safe from death.
