A rotting stench permeated the cave as the middle-aged man began to tear at his own face. He looked like a Demon who escaped from hell. He kept howling desperately as he attempted to crawl across the ground in search of an antidote.

Just who are you He assumed that this was merely Ah Mans bid for revenge, so he did not expect a second person to appear in the cave.

It was someone he had never seen before and seemed not to be from this world.

However, Gu Changge ignored him completely. He did not even bother to look at the middle-aged man.

Lets go, Gu Changge said calmly as he placed his hand on Ah Mans head.

Okay. Ah Man nodded. Although she was a lot taller than other young women her age, she only reached Gu Changges shoulders.

She looked up at him. Her bright eyes were filled with indescribable emotion.

She reached out and clutched Gu Changges sleeve with her small hand before following him out of the cave in silence.

Save me Save me Save me, Ah Man Im your Master The middle-aged mans body was swiftly rotting away. Black blood oozed out of his body as he howled in despair, pleading for Ah Man to save him.

Alas, he could only watch as the two silhouettes leave the cave.

The Primeval Deity Sects territory was a vast area that spanned tens of thousands of kilometres. They were one of the most powerful Forces in this world.

Some of the Elders from the Sect had the power to influence the rise and fall of smaller Forces with just a few words.

For the Primitives and the Humans of this world, a Force as massive and dominant as the Primeval Deity Sect was undoubtedly the ruler of this world.

What should I do now, Senior Ah Man followed Gu Changge up to the top of the peak. She could see the heavy mist floating around. She heard the sonorous ringing of a bell in the distance.

The death of an Elder was major news to the Primeval Deity Sect. All of peaks were instantly alerted.

Those from the nearest peaks had already snapped out of their shock. Elders and disciples alike swarmed the place to see what had happened.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*

Divine rainbows streaked across the sky one after the other as various people rushed over. The moment Ah Mans Master died, those in charge of watching over the Life Plaques immediately sensed it and sent cultivators over to inspect the situation.

Are you scared? Gu Changge asked with a smile without answering her question.

Ah Man shook her head and said, Im not scared. I feel safe when Im with you, Senior.

She never thought she would go through so many things in her life. As a result of them, she found that her state of mind had changed in a way she could not describe.

Even though she could see all the Elders and disciples who were hurrying over, she remained calm and unruffled.

She had thoroughly changed through this whole alarming process.

Ah Man never would have thought it possible to experience what felt like an endless stream of crises in only a matter of days. She came to understand the so-called truth.

Since youre not afraid, go and kill them later. These people should be your nourishment. Killing them is the only way you can come to see the truth you desire.

Gu Changge said.

Ah Mans eyes filled with dark-coloured hostility. She stared into the distance and repeated, Kill them? I understand.

Who are you!? What are you doing here on Elder Zhus peak!?

The incoming cultivators in the distance noticed Gu Changges presence and roared at him with wary eyes.

Other cultivators who were streaking through the sky with light shrouding their silhouettes were also staring at Gu Changge in shock.

They had never seen this unfamiliar silhouette in the Primeval Deity Sect before. They would have remembered him if they had seen him before.

Elder Zhus Life Plaque has broken. It is likely that the Elder has died, and this man must have had something to do with it.

Capture him!

The many cultivators from the Primeval Deity Sect who rushed over immediately growled among themselves. They geared themselves up to subdue Gu Changge.

Only a total transformation can lead to the refining of an indomitable Will and Dao Abilities. This is your stage today. No one can stop you. Gu Changge ignored the cultivators. He simply smiled faintly at Ah Man.

Once he finished speaking, some kind of unquestionable Will seemed to appear in the surroundings, and a frightening, thundering sound rang out.

The World Principles was shaking as countless Divine Chains made of Principles locked up the land.

It was as if some kind of command had been issued to the Primeval Deity Sects territory. A command which even the Worlds Will retreated from.

While Ah Man did not know what this meant, she could sense that she had been bestowed with endless strength that churned within her body.

She remained silent and closed her eyes. The moment her eyes flew open, her expression turned stoic and icy.

Kill them

Ah Man stepped out. As she raised her hand, an endless stream of runes solidified and turned into blades, swords, and spears that glowed with divine light. It was as if a fog of divine weapons had emerged.

Before the cultivators who were charging over could register what was happening, they were sliced up by the weapons.

A sea of blood splattered everywhere.

This was a horrifying day for the Primeval Deity Sect. The aura of death hung over the Sect.

No one would have thought that the death of an Elder would lead to an unimaginable catastrophe.

When the Elders who arrived later witnessed the sea of blood, they froze in terror.

Thats Elder Zhus disciple, the Princess from the largest Primitives settlement

Someone recognised Ah Man and cried out with a look of horror, but at the very next moment, he was shredded by a blade and died a bloody death.

Ah Man was dressed simply. Her black tresses cascaded down like a waterfall. Her fair and flawless face was completely devoid of emotion.

Step by step, she came down from the peak. With just a flick of her hand, the light of a thousand stars seemed to gather before turning into a sea of terrifying weapons that came raining down.

To ordinary cultivators, power as formidable and terrifying as this was akin to a world-ending calamity.

Even Elders in the seventh-level were terror-stricken. They never expected a young woman in her teens to possess such terrifying might.

It was unthinkable.

Furthermore, the young man standing behind her was smiling faintly as he watched the scene unfold without even a flicker in his eyes.

Stop!!!

A furious roar rang out from the distance as the many experts of the Primeval Deity Sect rushed over to stop the onslaught.

Alas, Ah Mans expression did not change at all. With eyes as cold as ice, she walked across the sea of blood. The smell of blood clung to her. A flurry of red streaks came rushing towards her.

The red streaks came from the Sources of the fallen cultivators that had been turned into power that she was now devouring.

Right now, Ah Man looked like a red flower that was constantly changing as she devoured the living beings nearest to her.

With each step she took, her aura changed. It felt like a terrifying ocean wave that threatened to submerge the world.

Meanwhile, in an ancient Primitives settlement in the wilderness far, far away from the Primeval Deity Sect.

There was a wizened man with a hunched figure who was dressed in a black robe. His face was hidden by the hood of his robe. He was tinkering with the dried medicinal herbs in front of him, coughing now and then.

Everyone in the settlement looked at him with great respect.

This was the man from the settlement that Ah Man called Grandfather. He was an old man who was respected and revered by everyone. He was in charge of the settlements rituals and things related to medicine.

He was most the eminent figure in the settlement, apart from its leader.

At the moment, beside the black-robed old man.

A middle-aged man with a tanned complexion and a tall, burly physique seemed to be discussing something with the old man.

I will have to set off on that journey in less than four years. Im afraid I will never get the chance to reach the seventh level. Ah Man only has four years left. I wonder how shes doing in the Primeval Deity Sect

The middle-aged man was the leader of the settlement. He was in charge of all the people there. Right now, he had a somewhat concerned expression as he stared off into the distance, towards the direction where the Primeval Deity Sect was located.

Cough Ah Man has always been a quick-witted girl, even as a child. No one will be able to hurt her, not even in a place like the Primeval Deity Sect. You have nothing to worry about. The old man with a hunchback coughed a few times before shaking his head and smiling.

Nevertheless, I still feel worried. Ah Man has to carry such a heavy burden when shes only in her teens, the middle-aged man sighed.

Lately, Ive been getting a vague feeling that the last Primeval Deity is calling out to me. It feels like he wants to tell me something It feels like he wants to give me a warning by giving me some kind of information, but there seems to be something blocking his message so that I cant hear him properly.

Upon hearing that, the black-robed old man who was sorting out the medicinal ingredients stiffened slightly, but he soon relaxed again.

He shook his head once more and smiled. Have you not been resting well lately? The last Primeval Deity disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago. It has been a very long time since there was any trace of him. No stories about him have been told either. How could you possibly have heard his call?

However, the middle-aged man had a firm expression as he declared, Its not a mistake. The Primeval Deity is indeed trying to tell me something. Its a sign from him. I just know it. I have to find out why he disappeared. This is the only way to save the Primitives.

The black-robed old man fell silent. He simply shook his head without saying anything, but his eyes glinted for a moment.

All of a sudden, he sensed something and started to frown at once.

He failed to control his reaction and ended up crushing the medicinal herbs he was sorting.

Whats the matter?

The middle-aged man noticed the black-robed old mans expression and was a little startled. It was his first time seeing the old man with such a dark and unpleasant expression.

This side of the old man left the middle-aged man feeling a little strange and disbelieving.

Something has changed Who has disrupted my plan? The old man did not respond to the middle-aged man. He simply murmured to himself as his eyes flashed coldly.

The pawn he planted within the Primeval Deity Sect had been exterminated out of the blue. His Life Force vanished and the connection between them had been cut off.

The middle-aged man was shocked. The next moment, he saw the old man flicking his robe. His silhouette turned into a dark cloud before vanishing in thin air.

What How is it possible? The middle-aged mans eyes bulged. He could not believe what he just saw.

To his knowledge, the Grandfather lost a lot of his cultivation after an injury he suffered when he was younger. His vitality and aura had deteriorated, making him no different from an ordinary person. Yet, he had disappeared in front of him just moments ago.

Even the middle-aged man was incapable of doing something like that.

At this moment, the Primeval Deity Sect was filled with bloodshed. A vicious aura permeated the sky, spreading out endlessly between the mountain peaks.

Ah Man moved through the mountain peak calmly, wiping out all in her path.

Her eyes were a little bloodshot, but her youthful face was stony and icy. She seemed to view all the cultivators before her as nothing more than ants.

A blood-red glow emanated from her forehead, and her flawless face was shrouded in a murderous aura.

Just who are you

She cant possibly possess such power.

One of the Elders from the Primeval Deity Sect stared in horror at Gu Changge, who was calmly trailing behind Ah Man.

The Elder could tell that Gu Changge was the reason behind the change in Ah Man. Just a glance from this mysterious young man was enough to make the Elder feel as if his veins were freezing up. He felt as if the fire of his Soul was about to be extinguished.

So, the real Master of this place finally shows up Gu Changge simply smiled faintly without responding to these Elders.

Over at the Sect Leaders palace, a middle-aged man had died a horrific death. His eyes had bulged out. They were filled with terror and despair.

He was the most powerful cultivator in the entire Primeval Deity Sect. He had reached the eighth-level and was a prominent expert in this world.

Alas, he had been stabbed in the forehead, leaving a gaping hole behind. His Soul had been destroyed.

Sect Leader

Many of the Elders and disciples were staring at the middle-aged mans corpse with a look of agony and horror. The strongest cultivator in the Sect had died from a flick of a finger.

Such horrifying strength was beyond their imaginations.

Why does Ah Man have a being as terrifying as this behind her Song Qingers eyes were filled with hopelessness. Her body trembled uncontrollably.

Gu Changges gaze swept across the crowd before landing on Ah Man.

This is nowhere near enough. She still needs a catalyst before she can become a True Demon. He shook her head.

She needs to end the karmic debt herself

Even though this incident with the Primeval Deity Sect was enough to let Ah Man awaken the demonic nature of her Demonic Heart in advance, it was far from reaching the level where she could be of use to him.

At the very least, Gu Changge believed her state of mind was far from ideal.

He wanted to groom Ah Man into becoming a suitable Successor, one who could harvest the Fortuity of the Upper Realm during the upcoming upheaval.

Therefore, Ah Man had to forego everything that Gu Changge thought of as weaknesses.

A rare and extraordinary existence that would be hard to find even across tens of thousands of epochs. Let me see why youre one such extraordinary existence, Gu Changge murmured.

Ah Man stood before the entrance of the Sects main hall, surrounded by a fog of blood. Her once-clean robes were completely stained red with blood.

She closed her eyes seemingly in wait.

An invisible ripple was hungrily devouring the energy that floated in the surroundings.

Demonic shadows emerged within her surging Demonic Heart. They seemed to come together to form an ancient figure that was sitting within.

At this moment, Ah Man was as cold as a glacier that had been untouched for millennia.

*Swoosh!*

Just then, the world seemed to shudder as a terrifying energy spread out. A formidable aura descended, one that seemed like it would rip the world apart.

A black cloud emerged before condensing into a figure. It was the black-robed old man who came from the Primitives settlement.

The man that Ah Man called Grandfather.

Youve finally revealed yourself Ah Mans eyes abruptly opened. They were filled with an iciness that felt ancient and unchanging.
