The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

"Xiao Wu is beyond saving. We can no longer form an array. Leave this place immediately and do not linger!"

With a sharp cry, the Great Golden Crow suddenly turned and transformed into a golden ray of light, disappearing into the distant sky.

However, the eight blazing figures remained firmly entrenched in the airspace where the fifth golden crow had fallen.

Just as they were immersed in grief, a second shriek pierced the sky once more.

The arrow pierced through the surging heat and precisely penetrated the core of the two golden crows' chest and abdomen.

His massive body suddenly stiffened in mid-air, then exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing a magnificent rain of solar fire, carrying with it shattered golden feathers and primordial flames.

It cascaded down into the long-dried-up mountains and rivers below.

Overwhelming fear instantly drowned out the reluctance to part, a bond forged in blood.

The gathered golden crows let out a chaotic chorus of mournful cries, their cries intertwined with a frantic struggle for survival.

Seeing yet another brother perish, they immediately spread their wings and fled in panic in the direction where the Great Golden Crow had disappeared.

But it was all too late.

Their radiance was so conspicuous that they stood out like the most striking targets in the empty sky.

Every flap of its wings, every frantic turn, was clearly visible to Hou Yi from afar.

At this moment, the third arrow has already left the bowstring.

It chased after the most panicked golden crow, piercing through the protective fire without hesitation and sinking deep into the flesh and blood.

The golden crow, struck by the arrow, writhed in agony in the air, desperately tearing at the arrow shaft in its chest with its sharp claws, but to no avail.

After a muffled explosion, the golden crow transformed into another beautiful plume of fireworks and fell to the ground.

"Hurry up!"

"Don't look back, hurry up and go!"

……

However, the fourth and fifth arrows followed one after another, and none of them missed.

Above the sky, as the number of golden crows decreased, things gradually returned to normal.

Hou Yi had no intention of letting them go. He drew his bow again, and the sixth arrow, imbued with a fierce aura, shot out the instant the bowstring twanged.

Just as the arrow was about to pierce another little golden crow, the Hetu Luoshu suddenly appeared behind several golden crows that were fleeing in panic.

The arrow struck the illusory image of the scroll, producing a dull thud, and was actually knocked away.

"Hou Yi! You dare kill my son? Are you courting death?!"

Di Jun stepped out of the void, glancing down at the few remaining embers of the sun on the ground below, his eyes burning with golden divine flames.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and pressed down on the spot where Hou Yi was.

Although Hou Yi was strong, he was ultimately only a Great Luo Golden Immortal. How could he possibly contend with Di Jun, the Lord of the Demon Court?

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body swayed precariously.

Just as Di Jun was about to finish Hou Yi's life, the figure of the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang appeared out of thin air and stood in front of Hou Yi.

At the same time, the five little golden crows that had narrowly escaped an arrow were terrified and dared not linger, desperately fleeing towards the demon court.

This calamity has etched a deep fear into their hearts, and they only hope to escape back to the Demon Court to cultivate in seclusion and then take revenge on the Witch Clan.

However, given the overwhelming forces of Heaven, only one of the ten golden crows remained, and they were not allowed to escape so easily.

Just ahead, a burly figure had somehow appeared and blocked their path.

The five golden crows were startled and stopped their advance.

Xiang Liu slowly raised his head, his pale and handsome face expressionless, only his deep eyes reflecting resentment.

"And who are you? We are the Crown Prince of the Demon Court! How dare you block our path!"

Xiang Liu did not respond and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, a dark green light silently swept across the Great Golden Crow.

"laugh!"

The blazing solar fire surrounding the Great Golden Crow was instantly extinguished the moment it touched the green light.

His brilliant golden feathers were instantly shrouded in a layer of deathly gray.

Its massive body suddenly stiffened, then lost all strength and tumbled toward the ground.

"Big brother!"

"What on earth is this thing?!"

"Kill him first, or we won't be able to escape!"

The remaining four golden crows let out terrified cries, their boundless fear turning into a frenzied counterattack. The flames that filled the sky transformed into a raging fire dragon, sweeping wildly towards Xiang Liu.

However, Xiang Liu's figure flickered amidst the raging flames, each movement allowing him to evade the sharpest attacks.

"A trivial skill!"

Xiang Liu raised his hand, and a dark green light followed him like a shadow. The tenth golden crow was completely swallowed by the light of death.

At this moment, their fear of Xiangliu had penetrated to the bone.

The remaining three golden crows finally realized that they were facing an ordinary opponent that they could not defeat.

They desperately tried to create distance and escape Xiang Liu's pursuit.

But Xiangliu did not give them any chance to catch their breath.

He moved through the air, his movements concise yet deadly.

He raised his hand, his five fingers like hooks, and reached out to grab the third golden crow from afar.

With a soft "pop," the protective immortal light surrounding the golden crow shattered, and its massive body disintegrated.

"This is the law of corruption. You have poisoned all living beings in the primordial world, and you deserve to die in such a painful way."

Upon witnessing this scene, the fourth and ninth golden crows recklessly burned their source energy, pushing their speed to the limit, wanting only to escape from this place.

However, a streak of dark green light arrived first, instantly taking away all the life force of the fourth golden crow.

In an instant, four of the five golden crows that had been fleeing for their lives had perished.

The last remaining golden crow huddled in the distant sky, its arrogance long gone, replaced only by boundless terror.

Xiang Liu's gaze calmly fell upon him.

At this moment, Di Jun was locked in a fierce battle with Di Jiang and was unable to break free.

The last golden crow seems to have reached the end of its destiny.

Just as Xiang Liu raised his hand, about to end this last bloodline...

"Knock knock knock!"

The entire world suddenly fell silent.

An invisible sound wave suddenly rippled out, forcing Jiang Xiangliu back several steps.

The true form of Donghuang Taiyi manifested, and a giant hand wrapped in the true fire of the sun reached down from beyond the nine heavens, gently embracing the golden crow.

The giant hand retracted, carrying Di Jun's last offspring, and vanished into the far reaches of the heavens in an instant.

Donghuang Taiyi's true form had already locked his crimson gaze onto Xiangliu.

"Xiang Liu! Hand over the bodies of my nephews, and I'll grant you a quick death! Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The Eastern Emperor Bell hovered beside it, its body trembling slightly, poised to strike.

In contrast, Xiang Liu, who was not far away, was already struggling to resist the shockwaves from the remaining power of the Eastern Emperor's Bell, and his face was even paler.

But he still held his head high, his deep eyes meeting Donghuang Taiyi's gaze.

"If you dare take another step closer, I will immediately annihilate them, leaving not a trace!"

"What a joke! Do you think anyone can come to your rescue now? Those ancestral witches are too late; you are doomed today!"

Donghuang Taiyi raised the Donghuang Bell high, as if he was about to throw it down and smash Xiangliu into a pulp.

"Come on, if you've got the guts, just kill me!"

After saying this, Xiang Liu released several golden crow corpses and surrounded them around himself.

Looking at Xiang Liu's shameless behavior, Donghuang Taiyi even felt that he had mistaken him for someone else.

In his mind, the witch clan were all barbarians, and there was never such a shameless great witch.

"You really are shameless!"
