Chapter 318 The Four Ancient Fiends!
On the edge of Dongsheng Shenzhou, a lone figure streaked across the sky.
Su Fan left Laozi's palace and flew westward alone.
He didn't bring anyone with him.
Emperor Ziwei and his group were all seriously injured in the previous battle and need time to recover. The experts of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan have also suffered more than half their losses and are currently recuperating.
He had to go on this trip to Xiniu Hezhou alone.
Su Fan looked down at the vast, untamed land beneath his feet.
This world was even more vast and desolate than he had imagined.
The continuous mountain ranges coiled on the earth like giant dragons, each one being ten times higher than the highest mountain in the outer heavens.
The rushing rivers are like the Milky Way hanging upside down, each one a hundred times wider than the largest river on Earth.
The forests stretch for thousands of miles, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and their canopies blocking out the sun.
The grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, the wind rustles the grass low, and countless giant beasts can be faintly seen running about.
This is the true primordial world.
After Pangu separated heaven and earth, the first world was formed.
The source of all myths.
Su Fan took a deep breath and sped up.
According to the directions given by Laozi, Xiniu Hezhou is three million li west of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
At his current speed, flying at full speed would take him three days and three nights.
Three days.
He didn't know if he would survive these three days.
Because this place is full of danger.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a terrifying roar suddenly came from below.
A huge, ferocious beast charged out of the forest.
It was a giant tiger, entirely black, hundreds of feet tall, with wings on its back and breathing black flames from its mouth.
Its eyes are blood red.
The third level of Dao realm.
Qiongqi.
One of the four ancient ferocious beasts.
Qiongqi looked at Su Fan in the sky, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes.
"Humans? I haven't eaten them in years."
With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky and pounced on Su Fan.
Su Fan's expression changed.
The Immortal-Slaying Sword was drawn.
A sword strike was unleashed.
The sword light clashed with the black flames.
boom--!!!
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
Su Fan was sent flying backwards and crashed into a mountain peak, creating a large hole in it.
Qiongqi took a few steps back, shook its wings, and was unharmed.
It looked at Su Fan as he crawled out of the ruins and smiled.
"Mid-stage Primordial Chaos Realm? With that kind of strength, you dare to fly around the Primordial World?"
Su Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up.
He looked at Qiongqi with icy eyes.
"You're asking for it."
He leaped up and charged forward again.
One sword.
Two swords.
Three swords.
He went berserk, slashing at Qiongqi with sword after sword.
Qiongqi accepted them one by one.
It discovered that although this human was weak, he had an extremely strong fighting spirit.
Every sword strike is delivered with all one's might, leaving no way out.
It made three hundred moves, and the human received three hundred moves.
Not retreating a single step, not slowing down a single sword strike.
The more Qiongqi fought, the more terrified he became.
It has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and has seen countless humans.
But this is the first time I've seen something like this.
The 301st move.
Qiongqi slapped out with one claw.
Su Fan did not answer.
He dodged it.
Then, he slashed at Qiongqi's eyes with his sword.
Qiongqi quickly dodged.
But we were still a step too late.
The sword light grazed its eyelids, shaving off a few eyelashes.
Qiongqi was stunned.
It touched its eyelids and looked at Su Fan.
"you……"
Su Fan smiled.
"A beast is a beast."
Qiongqi was furious.
"court death!"
It opened its mouth and spewed out a mouthful of black flame.
Black flames swept across the sky, burning away the void.
Instead of retreating, Su Fan advanced and charged directly into the black flames.
Qiongqi was taken aback.
Then it laughed.
"court death!"
But the next second, its smile froze.
A sword light slashed out from the black flames.
He chopped it directly in the neck.
puff-
Fresh blood gushed out.
Qiongqi let out a miserable cry and staggered back a few steps.
A deep wound was left on its neck.
Su Fan burst out of the black flames, his body charred black, but his eyes remained bright.
He looked at Qiongqi.
"Again."
Qiongqi looked at him, and for the first time, fear appeared in its eyes.
This human is insane.
It turned and ran away.
Su Fan did not give chase.
He landed on a mountain peak, panting heavily.
That last sword strike almost exhausted all of his strength.
If Qiongqi hadn't run away on its own, he would have been the one to die.
He sat atop the mountain, gazing in the direction where Qiongqi had disappeared, and murmured to himself.
"The prehistoric world...that's fucking exciting."
After resting for an hour, Su Fan continued on his journey.
This time, he flew higher and faster.
But the dangers of the primordial era are everywhere.
the next day.
He encountered a Taotie.
Also one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, at the third level of the Dao Realm.
This battle was even more devastating than the last one.
The Taotie was too fast and too strong.
Su Fan had seven bones broken by it and almost died at its hands.
Finally, with a desperate strike, he severed one of the Taotie's fangs.
The Taotie, in pain, turned and ran away.
Su Fan lay in a pool of blood and smiled.
"He survived again."
Day three.
He encountered chaos.
The leader of the four ancient ferocious beasts, at the fourth level of the Dao Realm.
He did not fight this battle.
Because he simply couldn't beat them.
When Chaos saw him, he merely glanced at him and then continued sleeping.
In Chaos's eyes, Su Fan was like an ant, not worth its attention.
Su Fan flew past Chaos, his back covered in cold sweat.
He knew he had been given a second chance at life.
three days later.
The border of Xiniuhezhou.
Su Fan landed on a mountain peak, looking at the golden world in front of him.
We've arrived at Xiniu Hezhou.
This place is completely different from Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The sky is golden, the earth is golden, even the mountains are golden.
A peaceful atmosphere permeated the air.
But Su Fan knew that this was just an appearance.
Because in this golden world, battles rage everywhere.
In the distance, countless extraterrestrial demons were attacking the Buddhist sect's defenses.
Those celestial demons were so numerous that they blotted out the sky.
The lowest level is the first level of the Dao Realm.
The highest level is the fourth level of the Dao Realm.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism are fighting desperately.
The golden light and the blood-red light collided, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Su Fan took a deep breath and flew in that direction.
battlefield.
A sea of blood.
Su Fan landed in front of a dilapidated temple and looked at the scene before him.
Countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are fighting against the demons.
Some Buddhas were torn to pieces by demons, and some Bodhisattvas were corroded into bones by poison.
Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the fields.
But no one backed down.
Every Buddhist disciple is protecting this land with their life.
Su Fan saw an old monk, covered in wounds, still fighting a Heavenly Demon at the third level of the Dao Realm.
The old monk's right arm was broken, and half of his left leg had been bitten off.
But he was still chanting scriptures.
With each recitation, a beam of Buddhist light shot out and struck the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon was forced to retreat step by step by him.
But just then, another demon pounced from behind.
It took a bite out of the old monk's head.
The old monk couldn't dodge in time.
He was about to die.
A sword light slashed from the side.
The sword light struck the Heavenly Demon.
puff-
The Heavenly Demon screamed and was sent flying backward.
Su Fan landed in front of the old monk and looked at him.
"Senior, are you alright?"
The old monk was stunned.
He looked at Su Fan, his eyes filled with surprise.
"You...you're human?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. Human, Su Fan."
The old monk smiled.
"Thank you for saving my life, benefactor."
Su Fan waved his hand.
"Let's not talk about that now. Can we still fight?"
The old monk nodded.
"able."
He stood up, and his severed arm had miraculously grown back.
Su Fan was taken aback.
The old monk explained.
"Our Buddhist sect possesses an indestructible body. As long as the soul remains, the physical body can be reborn."
Su Fan nodded.
"That's good."
He looked at the densely packed demons ahead.
"Senior, why do these demons insist on attacking Buddhism?"
The old monk sighed.
"Because Buddhist techniques can restrain them. They hate Buddhism to the core, so they focus their main efforts here."
Su Fan remained silent.
He looked at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who were fighting desperately.
Each and every one of them is using their lives to buy time.
How long will it be delayed?
he does not know.
But he knew he couldn't stand idly by.
He gripped the Immortal Execution Sword tightly.
"Seniors, I'll help you."
The old monk was taken aback.
"Benefactor, you're only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm..."
Su Fan smiled.
"So what if I'm in the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm? It's not like I haven't killed people at the third level of the Dao Realm before."
He charged into the battlefield.
He slashed at a Heavenly Demon at the third level of the Dao Realm with a single sword strike.
The demon was chasing an injured bodhisattva and didn't notice him at all.
The sword light struck its body.
puff-
An arm flew up.
The Heavenly Demon let out a miserable cry and turned to look at Su Fan.
"Humans?!"
Su Fan smiled.
Yes. Humans.
He unleashed a sword strike.
The Heavenly Demon tried to hide, but couldn't.
The sword flashed and struck its neck.
The head flew off.
Fresh blood gushed out.
The body fell to the ground.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas around were stunned.
This human in the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm killed a Heavenly Demon at the third level of the Dao Realm with a single sword strike.
Su Fan ignored them and continued charging towards the next Heavenly Demon.
One sword.
Two swords.
Three swords.
With each sword strike, a celestial demon fell.
He went berserk, rampaging across the battlefield.
Those demons were terrified by his killing.
But there are too many of them.
One was killed, and ten more rushed up.
Ten were killed, and a hundred more rushed up.
Su Fan gradually became exhausted.
He was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely.
But he's still killing.
Because he knew that killing one more would mean one less person would die in Buddhism.
Suddenly, another Heavenly Demon at the third level of the Dao Realm noticed him.
The demon looked at Su Fan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Mid-stage Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator, able to kill so many? Interesting."
It slapped Su Fan with one paw.
The claws were as numerous as mountains, covering the sky and the earth.
Su Fan tried to dodge, but he couldn't.
too fast.
Just then, a golden light shot out from the side.
The golden light struck the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon took a few steps back, his expression changing.
A Buddha dressed in a golden robe landed in front of Su Fan.
His aura indicated he was at the fourth level of the Dao Realm.
The Buddha looked at Su Fan and put his hands together in prayer.
"Amitabha. You've worked hard, benefactor."
Su Fan looked at him.
"You are...?"
The Buddha smiled.
"This humble monk is the Medicine Buddha, Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata. Benefactor, you have awakened this humble monk's statue, and this humble monk remembers you."
Su Fan was taken aback.
Medicine Buddha?
Isn't he in the outer heavens?
How did it end up in the prehistoric world?
Medicine Buddha noticed his doubt.
"That was merely a divine shadow of this humble monk. My true form has always been fighting in the primordial world."
Su Fan understood.
He looked at the Medicine Buddha.
"Senior, these Heavenly Demons..."
The Medicine Buddha nodded.
"This humble monk understands. Benefactor, please step back and rest. Leave this to this humble monk."
He struck out with his palm.
Golden light shone brightly, covering the sky and the earth.
With a single palm strike, more than a dozen Heavenly Demons at the second level of the Dao Realm turned into ashes.
The Heavenly Demon, at the third level of the Dao Realm, was also beaten until it coughed up blood and staggered back.
Su Fan was deeply shocked by what he saw.
This is the true strength of someone at the fourth level of the Dao Realm.
He stepped aside, panting heavily.
On the battlefield, Medicine Buddha fought against a hundred enemies single-handedly, forcing the demons to retreat step by step.
But there are too many demons.
Kill one batch, and another batch comes.
Endless.
The Medicine Buddha's expression grew increasingly solemn.
He looked at Su Fan.
"Benefactor, you must leave quickly. This place won't last much longer."
Su Fan was taken aback.
"Senior, you..."
The Medicine Buddha shook his head.
"I may die, but you cannot. You are the hope of the primordial world."
Su Fan remained silent.
He looked at the Medicine Buddha, and at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas fighting desperately.
He knew that staying wouldn't change anything.
But he was not willing to give up.
Just then, a terrifying roar came from afar.
A gigantic demon descended from the sky.
Its aura indicates it is at the fourth level of the Dao Realm.
Even better than the Medicine Buddha.
The Heavenly Demon looked at the Medicine Buddha and smiled.
"Medicine Buddha, three thousand years have passed, and you are still alive?"
The Medicine Buddha's expression changed.
"It's you? You survived that great battle?"
The Heavenly Demon laughed.
"How could I die? It is your Buddhist sect that will be destroyed today."
It slapped at the Medicine Buddha with one paw.
The Medicine Buddha did his utmost to resist.
boom--!!!
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
The Medicine Buddha was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The Heavenly Demon looked at him and sneered.
"A mere fourth-level Dao Realm cultivator dares to block my way?"
It approached the Medicine Buddha, preparing for the final blow.
Just then, a figure blocked the way in front of the Medicine Buddha.
Su Fan.
The Heavenly Demon looked at him and smiled.
"Mid-stage Primordial Chaos Realm? Coming here to die?"
Su Fan didn't speak.
He simply raised the Immortal Execution Sword.
Then, he closed his eyes.
He called out in his heart.
"Are there any more fragments of the Pangu Axe?"
Inside the system space, the black stone trembled slightly.
That was the last fragment of Pangu's axe.
Su Fan opened his eyes.
Give me strength.
The black stone shone brightly.
A world-shaking power surged into Su Fan's body.
Su Fan's aura began to surge.
Peak of the mid-stage of the Hunyuan realm.
The first level of Dao realm.
Dao Realm Level Two.
boom--!!!
A beam of black light shot into the sky.
Su Fan opened his eyes.
His eyes turned black.
His aura indicated he was at the second level of the Dao Realm.
The Heavenly Demon's expression changed drastically.
"This is... the power of Pangu?!"
Su Fan didn't speak.
He unleashed a sword strike.
The sword light was like a rainbow, tearing through the void.
The Heavenly Demon tried to hide, but couldn't.
The sword light struck it directly.
puff-
A huge wound cut diagonally from his shoulder to his waist.
Fresh blood gushed out.
The Heavenly Demon screamed and was sent flying backward.
It struggled to its feet, looked at Su Fan, and its eyes were filled with fear.
"You...you..."
Su Fan, carrying his sword, walked towards it.
"Didn't you want to destroy Buddhism? Come on then."
The demon turned and ran.
But there's no escaping it.
Su Fan unleashed a sword strike.
The sword light swept across its body.
The demon let out a miserable cry and turned into ashes.
The battlefield was deathly silent.
All the demons were dumbfounded.
A commander at the fourth level of the Dao Realm was killed by a human with a single sword strike?
Even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were dumbfounded.
How did this human, who was in the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, suddenly become a second-level Dao Realm cultivator?
Su Fan did not explain.
He just stood there, panting heavily.
The power of the Pangu Axe fragments is draining from his body.
Soon, his aura dropped back to the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm.
He swayed and almost fell.
The Medicine Buddha rushed over and helped him up.
"donor!"
Su Fan smiled.
"It's nothing. I'm just a little tired."
He watched as the demons began to retreat.
"They...retreat?"
The Medicine Buddha nodded.
"I'm backing out. You scared me away."
Su Fan smiled.
"That's good."
Then, everything went black and he fainted.
three days later.
When Su Fan woke up, he found himself lying in a golden temple.
The surrounding area is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and is bathed in the light of Buddha.
The Medicine Buddha sat beside him, healing his wounds.
When he saw Su Fan wake up, the Medicine Buddha smiled.
"Benefactor, you are awake."
Su Fan sat up.
"Senior, how long have I been asleep?"
The Medicine Buddha said.
"Three days."
Su Fan stretched his muscles and bones.
The wounds on his body have mostly healed.
He looked at the Medicine Buddha.
"Senior, those Heavenly Demons..."
The Medicine Buddha said.
"I've cancelled. I won't be coming for a while."
Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the Medicine Buddha.
"Senior, can the Buddhist sect... intervene?"
The Medicine Buddha paused for a moment.
Then he sighed.
"Benefactor, this humble monk also wishes to lend a hand. However, Buddhism is currently in dire straits itself."
He looked out the window.
Outside the window, there was only ruins.
The Medicine Buddha continued speaking.
"Over the past three thousand years, countless Buddhist disciples have died. Now, fewer than ten thousand are still alive."
"This humble monk cannot gamble with their lives."
Su Fan remained silent.
He understands the Medicine Buddha.
Just like Emperor Fuxi, they all had people they wanted to protect.
He stood up.
"Senior, I understand."
The Medicine Buddha looked at him.
"Esteemed benefactor, are you leaving?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. I want to go to Beiju Luzhou again."
Medicine Buddha was taken aback.
"Demon race?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. If Dijun refuses to help, I'll go again. If once isn't enough, I'll go twice. If twice isn't enough, I'll go three times."
The Medicine Buddha looked at him with admiration in his eyes.
"Benefactor, you are a good person."
Su Fan smiled.
"I wouldn't call myself a good person. I just don't want to die."
Su Fan walked out of the temple, took a deep breath, and flew towards Beiju Luzhou.
