The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

The Vermilion Bird was filled with envy and jealousy. Her noble and elegant demeanor vanished, leaving only boundless allure.

She was breathing rapidly, and two mounds of flesh, seemingly alive, throbbed in her brightly colored dress.

If the Primordial Measuring Ruler tempted her to seize it, then she was willing to pay any price to obtain the Thunder Punishment Pearl.

This is because the Thunder Punishment Pearl is not only abnormally powerful, but also belongs to the category of Heavenly Treasures. Whether used to suppress destiny or for future cultivation, it has countless benefits.

Unfortunately, she couldn't bring herself to harm her allies. Doing so would not only damage her reputation but also harm her moral integrity.

If one's mindset is not firm and one is indecisive about things, then that person's achievements will be limited.

The difficulty of attaining enlightenment, the great tribulation of attaining enlightenment, the lack of a path to enlightenment—

This is not as simple as it sounds; the hardships involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

Zhuque took a deep breath and said insincerely, "Fellow Daoist, you are blessed with good fortune. Congratulations on obtaining such a treasure. I am no match for you."

"Hehehe!" Wei Chen smiled smugly. It wasn't that he didn't know the principle of not flaunting wealth, but rather that he had unwavering faith in Zhu Que's character.

To become a god-king in the primordial world and be favored by the Heavenly Dao, how bad could his character be?

Those who attain the highest positions in Heaven and Earth are all people of great compassion and magnanimity.

Each of them was determined and possessed a spirit of selfless sacrifice.

For example, Houtu transformed into reincarnation, the West was shattered, and demonic energy raged. Jieyin and Zhunti were constantly busy and tireless for the sake of the beings in the West.

Moreover, having spent the past few years with Suzaku, I have gained some understanding of her personality.

Wei Chen said smugly, "How about it? Do I have the strength to fight against the Prison Scythe Demon Beast Emperor? Everything I win is yours."

"Yes—" Zhuque's tone was unpleasant. She understood immediately; no wonder Wei Chen looked down on those magical treasures.

Compared to the Thunder Pearl and the Primordial Measuring Ruler, those magical treasures are not even worth mentioning.

She still couldn't understand why Wei Chen didn't plan to take on any disciples. Even if he didn't, there were still plenty of treasures here.

Even a great clan like hers in the primordial world cannot ignore her; it's truly incomprehensible how such an innate deity could exist in the primordial world.

At this moment, Zhuque couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Why do you ignore the treasures here, fellow Daoist? Even if you don't like them, you can leave them to your disciples later."

"Disciple?" Wei Chen frowned. In the novels he read in his previous life, he couldn't understand why the protagonists all took on disciples, and Kong Xuan was one of them.

He shook his head; he really hadn't considered taking on disciples. Wasn't it wonderful to be alone? He could do whatever he wanted; why would he want to take on disciples?

"I have no intention of taking on disciples; my heart is set on the supreme path. What use would disciples be to me if they couldn't help me ascend to the supreme path?"

Wei Chen really didn't want to take on disciples; there was no benefit whatsoever. He would have to share the treasures he had worked so hard to acquire with them, teach them cultivation, and deal with endless troubles.

In short, taking on disciples only leads to losses, not gains. He's not stupid; why would he do something so foolish?

Perhaps in the future, when I attain the Great Dao and am invincible and lonely, it wouldn't be bad to take on a disciple to play with.

"Fellow Daoist's righteousness is beyond my reach." Zhuque bowed deeply, truly impressed at this moment.

Accepting disciples not only represents authority, but also the fortune to educate all living beings. In the primordial world, who doesn't want their students to be all over the world?

From now on, whatever you need to do, just give the word and countless disciples will complete it. How glorious that would be!

Ke Weichen actually disdained all of this—

Clearly, in Zhuque's mind, Weichen had become a person indifferent to fame and fortune, worthy of her deep respect.

Wei Chen didn't care about any of that. He had enough resources for cultivation, not to mention his luck. Why would he care about such petty gains?

He smiled and asked, "What has your consideration been, fellow Daoist?"

“Yes—even if we can’t win, we can leave gracefully.” Zhuque nodded. How could she refuse such a request that offered all the benefits without any loss?

He made up his mind that he must stick closely with Wei Chen from now on, because such a primordial deity was destined for a bright future.

Moreover, he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and might even bestow any treasures he no longer needs upon the Vermilion Bird Clan. Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting.

"Good, that's great!" Wei Chen exclaimed with boundless pride. "I, the Emperor, will lead the charge."

Having said that, without waiting for the Vermilion Bird's response, he charged towards the horde of ferocious beasts.

Zhuque looked at Wei Chen's retreating figure with admiration and murmured, "Truly a man of character; we cultivators should be like him—"

"Screech—" The Vermilion Bird transformed into its true form, carrying boundless, world-destroying black flames as it charged towards the horde of ferocious beasts.

Rumble!

The sky and earth changed color, dark clouds gathered, and thunder roared.

Wei Chen's face was dignified. He held the Primordial Measuring Ruler in his hand, and the Thunder Punishment Pearl above his head was surrounded by endless lightning flashing and intertwining.

He was like a thunder god descending to earth, causing the malevolent aura that filled the void to retreat.

Roar roar roar—

Countless ferocious beasts roared, their eyes bloodshot, their expressions savage and violent, as if they wanted to tear apart and devour the creature above them.

roar--

The main creature appeared, strikingly conspicuous, with nine tails thousands of feet long, covered in scythes. Its body was also covered in terrifying scythes; it had no eyes, and its head contained a bottomless, black hole.

The cave was surrounded by sickles resembling octopus strips, which, combined with the dark, bottomless pit, made it both eerie and terrifying.

It exuded a terrifying, overwhelming aura, crushing the earth and causing the void to tremble.

"Die—" Wei Chen roared, his entire aura changed, becoming cold, ruthless, domineering, and supremely powerful, which suddenly erupted.

This is the supreme divine power; Wei Chen borrowed the power of divine punishment.

Three lightning arcs, each ten times larger than a water vat, slammed into the Hellfire Scythe Demon.

Roar—the Hellfire Scythe Demon roared, its nine tails whipping out a meat grinder, like a tornado, trying to shred the lightning arc.

Boom! Arcs of lightning flashed, illuminating the sky obscured by dark clouds.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Arcs of lightning rained down, blasting thousands of ferocious beasts to pieces, their black, mangled limbs and remains drifting through the void.

"唳——"

The ferocious beasts are fearless of death and extremely cruel and violent.

The Vermilion Bird was even more ferocious and domineering, its wings flapping out world-destroying black flames like waves, burning away the ashes that filled the sky.

Roar roar roar—

The ferocious beasts went berserk, and even though the world-destroying black flames burned them to ashes, they still rushed towards the Vermilion Bird like moths to a flame.

The ferocious beasts are brutal and savage, possessing little intelligence and knowing only how to kill, running rampant on instinct.

Destruction is their pleasure, brutality is their nature, they are fearless of life and death, and the only meaning of their existence is killing and destruction.

Although the Vermilion Bird flies extremely fast, there are simply too many ferocious beasts around it.

The Vermilion Bird was surrounded by a dense swarm of ferocious beasts, leaving it with no way to ascend to heaven or descend to earth.

This was no challenge for Zhuque. She had fought against ferocious beasts for many years and was highly experienced in combat. She was already used to such battles.

"唳——"

With a crisp bang, countless world-destroying fireballs were unleashed, followed by an elegant and magnificent spin.

It forms an arrow that strikes the horde of beasts, its hundreds-of-foot-long sharp beak piercing and exploding the ferocious creatures, while its incomparably sharp claws tear them to pieces or crush them.

In an instant, it broke free from the siege of ferocious beasts, unleashing waves of world-destroying black flames that burned wave after wave of beasts to ashes.
