The fruits of the Karma Tree contained Karma Law Fragments. Consuming one allowed a person to directly comprehend part of the Law of Karma.
Karma Demon God's rapid cultivation to the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm was greatly related to these fruits.
After Karma Demon God left, only Ancestor Qiankun remained pinned in place by the Chaos Pearl.
The power of a Chaos Supreme Treasure was far too great. Without the Qiankun Cauldron, Li Xinghe could kill him as easily as slaughtering a dog.
"Qian Kun, I'll give you two choices now: submit or die," Li Xinghe said calmly.
After witnessing Li Xinghe's methods, Ancestor Qiankun regretted being so impulsive.
But making him, a dignified Top-level Demon God, submit was impossible!
Demon Gods had their pride. How could he submit to Li Xinghe merely out of fear of death?
Even if falling this time meant truly vanishing from heaven and earth forever, he had never once considered submission.
"Do it!" Ancestor Qiankun gave up resisting. Continuing to struggle would only bring him humiliation.
Li Xinghe sneered. In the end, they still looked down on him. Back then, when Chaos had the Pangu Axe at his throat, hadn't he obediently handed over the Chaos Pearl?
If Pangu had been standing here today, then faced with the choice between life and death, Qian Kun would likely have chosen to preserve his life without hesitation.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish." The Chaos Pearl descended to suppress him, and Ancestor Qiankun immediately lost consciousness. Yet before blacking out, he seemed to sense the holy light of the Pure World White Lotus.
Not long afterward, Ancestor Qiankun woke up, though he seemed somewhat different.
It turned out that Li Xinghe had knocked Ancestor Qiankun unconscious, then fed him a fruit from the Karma Tree.
Besides containing the Law of Karma, this fruit had another function: it could use the fruit's karma power to control others.
Li Xinghe used the Pure World White Lotus to erase Ancestor Qiankun's resentment toward him, then used the Karma Tree's fruit to control him. Even after Ancestor Qiankun awoke, he could no longer summon any desire to resist Li Xinghe.
"It seems we all underestimated you!" Ancestor Qiankun said helplessly. The Law of Karma was truly unfathomable.
At this moment, he already acknowledged Li Xinghe as his master, just as all Chaos Demon Gods revered the Great Dao.
Qian Kun was still the same Qian Kun as before, with his own opinions and thoughts. Only his attitude toward Li Xinghe had changed.
"You will still be Ancestor Qiankun from now on. Under normal circumstances, I won't summon you." Li Xinghe could clearly sense the Karma Thread between them.
The Law of Karma truly deserved its status as second only to the Law of Destiny. He had merely wanted to try it, yet it had actually succeeded.
How could he dominate the Primordial Wilderness without a few lackeys? He had only come up with this idea after sensing Karma Demon God.
"This Qiankun Cauldron was originally your Accompanying Spiritual Treasure. Today, I'll return it all to you!" With a wave of Li Xinghe's hand, two identical Qiankun Cauldrons landed before Ancestor Qiankun.
"What?" Ancestor Qiankun was both shocked and delighted. He had never expected Li Xinghe to return the Qiankun Cauldron to him.
Although karma bound him and he could no longer rebel against Li Xinghe, these two treasures were anything but ordinary. In anyone's hands, they would be devastating weapons.
"This treasure is neither here nor there to me, but to you, it is a treasure for attaining the Dao. One of these cauldrons is a Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure, while the other is a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. If you combine them into one, their power will greatly increase. Study them well."
Li Xinghe could not be bothered with such time-consuming and laborious work. Handing it to Qian Kun was instead a great opportunity for him.
According to the original course of the Primordial Wilderness, Ancestor Qiankun and the others would join forces to besiege Demon Ancestor Luohu, only to ultimately fall.
Now, if he combined the two Qiankun Cauldrons into one, his cultivation would surely rise greatly. In the future, he should not meet the fate of death and annihilation.
Ancestor Qiankun put away the two cauldrons. "I, Qian Kun, shall henceforth follow Li Xinghe's lead in all things. Let the Great Dao bear witness!"
Rumble! Great Dao is Impartial. Li Xinghe was equally surprised; he had not expected Qian Kun to make a Great Dao Oath.
Sure enough, human nature was shared by all. Even Chaos Demon Gods responded better to kindness than force.
Having dealt with Qian Kun and Karma, Li Xinghe's mood, which Ancestral Dragon had affected, improved considerably.
The myriad races of the Primordial World were all continuations of Pangu. Under the Great Dao's schemes, the traces of Pangu would gradually disappear bit by bit.
According to Li Xinghe's original plan, he would preserve these living beings as much as possible. But if any of them failed to appreciate his goodwill, then they could not blame him.
Ancestral Dragon had truly courted death today. However, Li Xinghe could not be bothered to kill him. When the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation came, Ancestral Dragon would naturally be unable to escape the schemes against him.
Next was Immortality Volcano. The Phoenix Clan was also an existence no weaker than the Dragon Clan, yet they were currently being suppressed everywhere by the Fierce Beast Race.
When Li Xinghe arrived at Immortality Volcano, a great battle was underway. The Phoenix Clan had already been forced into Immortality Volcano.
Most of the Fierce Beast Race had formed from baleful energy and Fierce Sha Power. Immortality Volcano happened to be their nemesis.
Within Immortality Volcano, the Phoenix Clan could barely hold on. Once they left its range, the Fierce Beast Race would instantly suppress them.
The one attacking Immortality Volcano was the Fierce Beast Qiongqi, whose appearance resembled a gray flying tiger.
"Charge into Immortality Volcano and slaughter the Phoenix Clan!" Qiongqi stood guard at the entrance to Immortality Volcano.
This Fierce Beast had actually reached the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.
Inside Immortality Volcano, a crimson divine tree grew from the volcanic crater and stretched straight into the heavens. It was the Phoenix Race's Phoenix Divine Wood.
It was said that Yuan Feng's Accompanying Spiritual Treasure, the Phoenix Staff, had been formed from the core essence of this tree.
Across the Primordial Wilderness, the Three Races were currently putting up the fiercest resistance, and the Four Fierce Beasts had split up to attack them.
The Nanming Phoenix possessed an Immortal Body and was the hardest to kill, which was why Qiongqi, the strongest among the Four Fierce Beasts, had been sent.
It had now reached the final stage. Even though the Fierce Beast Race held every advantage, Li Xinghe knew that the Phoenix Clan would not be defeated.
The Three Primal Races carried the Heavenly Dao Will. Once matters reached the critical moment, the Heavenly Dao would surely bestow blessings upon them, helping them grow stronger as they fought.
"Walk the Heavenly Dao's path, leaving the Heavenly Dao with nowhere to walk." Li Xinghe smiled faintly and stepped into Immortality Volcano.
He was now changing the situation in the Primordial Wilderness in place of the Heavenly Dao. Once the Heavenly Dao fully awakened, he would certainly obtain a vast amount of Heavenly Dao Merit.
Yuan Feng, one of the strongest figures after the creation of heaven and earth, was currently only a Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. Even fighting on her own territory, she was no match for Qiongqi.
After many days of fierce battle, she had already suffered grave injuries. If not for the special abilities of Immortality Volcano's lineage, she would have fallen long ago.
Just as Qiongqi was about to break into Immortality Volcano, the Phoenix Clan was overwhelmed with despair. At that moment, a pure white lotus appeared above Immortality Volcano.
As soon as the Pure World White Lotus appeared, Immortality Volcano, shrouded in fierce baleful aura, instantly became clear and pure.
"Who is it?" the Fierce Beast Qiongqi shouted.
"Too noisy!" Li Xinghe snorted and directly unleashed a stream of spatial power, sending Qiongqi back to his lair.
Yuan Feng was utterly shocked. The Fierce Beast Qiongqi, whom she had regarded as invincible, had actually been defeated in a single move.
"Yuan Feng of the Phoenix Clan greets Great God." Yuan Feng was incomparably respectful.
"Yuan Feng, the Fierce Beast Race wreaks havoc upon the Primordial World. Today, on behalf of Great God Pangu, I enfeoff the Phoenix Clan as commander of the Primordial Wilderness's Avian Lineage, to resist the Fierce Beast Tribulation!" Li Xinghe's words were like Heavenly Dao decrees.
Yuan Feng felt as if she had been enlightened. She immediately made a great vow to lead the Avian Lineage against the tribulation, and Heavenly Dao Merit soon descended.
The entire Phoenix Clan benefited immensely, while Yuan Feng, their clan leader, broke through to the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.
From this point onward, all Three Primal Races received the Heavenly Dao's protection. For every Fierce Beast they killed, they would receive even more Heavenly Dao Merit.
Because Li Xinghe had secretly brought about this matter, he likewise obtained a vast amount of Heavenly Dao Merit. His realm also rose considerably, leaving him only one step away from the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
