The Magus Era

The peaceful world collapsed. Since the prehistorical era, Priest Mu and Priest Hua had started to build this small independent world by adding every single brick and tile, every spell symbols and every magic seal themselves, with measureless time and efforts. But today, it collapsed just like that.

The whole peaceful world was turned into pure natural powers that merged into Pan Gu world.

Since the beginning of Pan Gu time, Priest Hua and Priest Mu had been collecting all kinds of treasures by fair or foul means, including lying, extortion, fraud, and plunder. All these treasures which were 'destined' to be theirs, the pearls and crystals which had piled into mountains, the golden sands and jades which had paved the earth, the coals which accumulated like water in an ocean, and other uncountable natural treasures...

They went back to where they came from.

The wealth they accumulated with solid efforts were thoroughly gone. Priest Yun said that he didn't leave them even one jade coin, and he truly didn't. Everything that belonged to Priest Mu and Priest Hua had become the purest natural powers and merged back into this world.

Also, since the prehistorical era, Priest Mu and Priest Hua had been trying their best to recruit disciples, and spending immeasurable time and energies to cultivate those disciples. At the moment, countless of their disciples were hiding in the collapsing peaceful world. After the humankind rose, Priest Hua and Priest Mu sent their disciples to travel across the world to recruit human cultivators, and these human cultivators were also in the collapsing peaceful world now.

Countless confused priests and cultivators stood on the ground, not knowing what to do.

This was the westernmost area of Pan Gu Motherland which used to belong to Western Wasteland. This place was rich in metal power. Nothing but deserts and cliffy monitions could be seen in this area. On the horizon, a few dead trees could be seen scattered on the ground, while withering grasses were growing sparsely on the ground.

A minute ago, these priests and cultivators were in the beautiful peaceful world, but suddenly, that world collapsed and they fell out of all kinds of secret spaces, landing in this poor wilderness.

All disciples of Priest Hua and Priest Mu were stunned. They looked around, not even knowing what just happened, whether they were the powerful ones who followed Priest Hua and Priest Mu since the ancient era, or the human disciples who had only cultivated under Priest Mu and Priest Hua' guidance for less than a thousand years.

Priest Yun laughed. Three streams of white mist rose from his head and glowed with a pale-white light. Within the light, the three 'Pengs' figures emerged. Immediately, the same white light shone out of the foreheads, hearts, and lower abdomens of all Priest Mu and Priest Hua' disciple. Next, they all kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Priest Yun.

"Good!" Priest Yun laughed again and raised an arm, swirling all the priests who kowtowed to him into his sleeve. Then, he transformed into a streak of light and flashed away.

A cloud slowly flew over from the higher sky. On the cloud, a purple mist spread for tens of thousands of miles. A man stood inside the cloud and glanced down, then chased after Priest Yun.

Yu Huo and the other Pan Gu world saints suddenly felt cold when the man in the cloud glanced at them...After the quick glance, they felt their every single cell was cut out of their bodies into pieces, and all their secrets and thoughts seemed to be fully exposed to the man.

If the man wanted to kill them, that would be as easy as them killing the two clones of Priest Hua and Priest Mu. They felt that the man could kill them by simply casting a glance at them. But fortunately, that man seemed to have no interest in doing that!

"The ruler of the great Dao!" Yu Huo trembled intensely. Scared by the man's glance, he nearly fell to the ground. "A ruler of Dao actually exists in this world...Fortunately, fortunately, we're like ants in his eyes..."

"No, he has an enemy!" Yu Ji also trembled, but he soon calmed back down. Next, he burst into hysterical screams. "The one who twisted the great Dao is his enemy...Hah, I've never heard anything like this, but it's real!"

"Let's do whatever we want!" Yu Ji reached his hands towards the sky. A dark sun emerged above his head and released a dreadful power of killing that swept across the whole area. Suddenly, the sky above Pan Motherland was entirely covered by dark clouds. "They didn't have time for us! This is our chance! This is our chance!" Said Yu Ji.

"Let's talk about how we should start...If that man truly has an enemy, we might really have a chance..." Said Yu Fan in a deep voice.

The group of Pan Yu saints gathered together. Momentarily, they exchanged billions of thoughts and made a decision which fitted their interests the most within the shortest span of time.

After Yu Huo and the other Pan Yu saints made their plan, the loyal disciples of Priest Hua and Priest Mu, who weren't taken away by Priest Yun, finally realized what had happened — Their sect, their home, was destroyed!

Even their Shifu, Priest Mu and Priest Hua, were killed!

'Run. Run as fast as possible. Run away from these saints from another world!'

These young cultivators hadn't even touched the true meaning of the great Dao. How could they ever rival whole ten saints?

They screamed and flew desperately up into the sky, casting their speed magics and fleeing as fast as they could. Among them, nearly a hundred priests who were valued the most by Priest Hua and Priest Mu triggered magic talismans which were made from linden leaves or lotus petals to help them run.

"Your souls all belong to me!" Yu Huo smiled. He opened his mouth and let out Pan Yu's brain. Thunderbolt-like strands of black mist spurted out of the brain and penetrated the bodies of ninety-nine percent of those fleeing priests. Their bodies collapsed, and their twisted souls were dragged into Pan Yu's bran, immediately becoming soul power after being absorbed by the brain.

Apart from the nearly a hundred who had magic talismans, all of Priest Mu and Priest Hua's disciples were almost wiped out!

Their home was destroyed, and their disciples were killed. The efforts that Priest Hua and Priest Mu had been making ever since the world was created were wasted. The wealthy Priest Mu and Priest Hua suddenly lost all they had and became 'paupers'.

…

In the starry void, the two priests were smiling at Ji Hao. No matter how sharp Ji Hao's gaze was, they just continued smiling.

They denied that they had anything to do with Priest Mu and Priest Hua, and firmly refused to pay any debt that was owed by Priest Mu and Priest Hua. Ji Hao asked them for help, but they just smiled and refused.

Suddenly, their eyes turned blood-red. Glaring at Pan Gu Motherland, they burst into a shrill scream in one voice.

"My little friend, how can Pan Gu world tolerate those brutal devil creatures?" They snarled, "We will pool our efforts together to kill those evil creatures! As cultivators, that's our duty!"
