Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming

Within Pangu Temple, Li Xinghe entered seclusion once more, swearing not to stop until he broke through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Before him, the twelve masses of Pangu's Essence Blood, now twice as powerful, gradually began to develop intelligence.

Although they had not yet fully emerged, they could vaguely sense the aura outside.

Inheriting Pangu's will, they knew who Father God was. Likewise, Li Xinghe's help in strengthening their origins was a grace of rebirth.

In a sense, the Witch Race was also human, though humans were comparatively weak.

Beyond the Primordial World, after Li Xinghe's enlightenment, the Three Races grew increasingly powerful.

For a time, the Fierce Beasts and the myriad races of the Primordial Wilderness fell into a stalemate.

At that moment, some reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods rose abruptly to prominence, displaying formidable strength.

The strongest among them had reached the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. The Karma Demon God, one of Chaos's most supreme Demon Gods, wielded the Law of Karma, second only to Destiny. It was hardly surprising that he had reached the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Ancestor Yin Yang had received the Creation of heaven and earth. The laws of yin and yang were the foundation of the world, and he thrived in the Primordial World. After reincarnating in the Primordial Wilderness, his Accompanying Spiritual Treasure was the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Yin Yang Mirror. He too had broken through to the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Besides them, Ancestor Qiankun had unexpectedly used the opportunity of his two Qiankun Cauldrons merging into one to break through to the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

These had once been top-ranked Top-level Demon Gods of Chaos, with powerful foundations, boundless mana, and innate status as Lords of Laws.

They gained Heavenly Dao Merit by killing Fierce Beasts.

Two more dark horses also rose to prominence. Hongjun comprehended a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation and likewise broke through to the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Meanwhile, Demon Ancestor Luohu obtained the Twelve-Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction from the Abyss of Darkness. His strength increased tremendously, and he too broke through to the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Compared to the other Demon Gods, the rampant Fierce Beasts were simply perfect for him.

Demon Ancestor Luohu cultivated the demonic path. The stronger the Killing Qi, the more it benefited his cultivation.

Others gained Heavenly Dao Merit by killing Fierce Beasts, but when he killed them, he could not only gain Merit but also directly devour them to raise his cultivation.

Luohu had vaguely entered the first tier, standing on roughly equal footing with Demon Gods such as Karma and Qiankun.

At first, several top Demon Gods had dismissed those two. Luohu was still acceptable; he had possessed some reputation back in Chaos.

But Hongjun had merely been a tiny Qu She, ranked below two thousand nine hundred. Yet now he dared to stand on equal footing with them.

Before long, several great Demon Gods clashed. Though the Karma Demon God claimed that he had completely severed Cause and Effect with Li Xinghe, he remained unconvinced.

He believed Li Xinghe had only defeated him by relying on the power of a Chaos Supreme Treasure. Hearing that Hongjun possessed a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, he sought to seize it.

In the end, a majestic Demon God who had ranked among the top five in the Chaos World actually fought Hongjun to a draw.

This further confirmed the terror of Chaos Supreme Treasures. Even a shattered Jade Plate of Creation was so fearsome; they had to obtain it.

In the end, several great Demon Gods challenged Hongjun one after another, yet not a single one could defeat him.

Only Luohu, possessing the Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure Nine Demon Pagoda from his days as a Demon God, along with the Twelve-Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction he had gained after reincarnation, and his uniquely advantageous Killing Qi, managed to force Hongjun to flee.

However, at their level, so long as their realms were not too far apart, killing the other party was exceedingly difficult.

Luohu was deeply enraged. If he had a supreme treasure, Hongjun would surely die.

And everyone knew that Beast Emperor Shen Ni possessed the Innate Killing Supreme Treasure, the God Slaying Spear.

In the end, everyone's sights turned toward the Fierce Beasts. This was an enormous share of Merit. Whoever could destroy the Fierce Beast Race would surely be the first to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Hongjun had yet to attain the Dao, and the Primordial Wilderness still used the cultivation system of the former Chaos World.

After the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm came the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, and above that was the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, equivalent to a Saint.

Everyone worked toward this goal, including the Three Primal Races.

Before long, the remaining great Fierce Beasts under Beast Emperor Shen Ni were all slain.

The Fierce Beast Race fell into a passive position. Yet these Fierce Beasts contained the resentment of the fallen Three Thousand Demon Gods; how could they be so easily exterminated?

Soon, shocking news arrived: Beast Emperor Shen Ni had broken through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Everyone was stunned. A Hunyuan Golden Immortal wielding a killing supreme treasure was not someone they could defeat even if they all attacked together.

"The time has not come. This venerable one must re-examine Cause and Effect." The Chaos Demon Gods had all died once before and cherished their lives greatly. If they fell this time, they would truly disappear from heaven and earth forever.

"This old ancestor's Yin and Yang Great Dao still requires tempering. Forgive me for declining." Ancestor Yin Yang also chose to lie low.

As for Ancestor Qiankun, he had only just obtained the merged supreme treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron. He needed to study it further. Once he completely refined the Innate Divine Restrictions upon the Qiankun Cauldron, his strength would surely rise again.

Only Hongjun and Luohu seemed to still be plotting something.

As the saying went, wealth and honor were sought amid danger. With these top Demon Gods lying in wait, this was a good opportunity.

The two secretly joined forces with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races, preparing for a battle to the death against Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

Li Xinghe, within Pangu Temple, had long divined all of this. This time, it was destined to yield no result.

Whether the Three Primal Races or Hongjun and Luohu, all possessed great Fortune, while the Fierce Beast Race was destined to fall.

Though Beast Emperor Shen Ni was incomparably powerful, defeating them would be easy. Killing them, however, was mere wishful thinking.

Thus, after an unknown number of years had passed, the leaders of the Three Primal Races all reached the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm amid bitter battles.

"This venerable one has finally become a Hunyuan Golden Immortal!" The Ancestral Dragon howled at the sky. He would certainly take revenge for the humiliation Li Xinghe had inflicted upon him.

Little did he know that Li Xinghe had broken through many years before them.

Yet though both were Hunyuan Golden Immortals, Li Xinghe was confident he could fight ten Ancestral Dragons at once.

The Three Primal Races had attained great accomplishments in physical cultivation; even those reincarnated Demon Gods could not compare to them.

But Li Xinghe cultivated Pangu's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. No one's physical body in this age could compare to his.

As for treasures and laws, Li Xinghe stood even more alone at the pinnacle.

The reason he had not left during this period was that the twelve Ancestral Witches within Pangu Temple were finally about to emerge.

When the Fortune of the Three Primal Races reached its peak, the twelve masses of Pangu's Essence Blood within Pangu Temple finally finished gestating.

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Dijiang. I wield the Law of Space, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Ru Shou. I wield the Law of Metal, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Ju Mang. I wield the Law of Wood, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Gong Gong. I wield the Law of Water, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Zhurong. I wield the Law of Fire, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Houtu. I wield the Law of Earth, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Tian Wu. I wield the Law of Wind, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming. I wield the Law of Ice, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Jiang Liang. I wield the Law of Thunder, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Xi Zi. I wield the Law of Electricity, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin. I wield the Law of Time, and today I take form!"

"I am Pangu's descendant, Ancestral Witch She Bi Shi. I wield the Law of Weather, and today I take form!"

In this era that should originally have belonged to the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races, the Twelve Ancestral Witches emerged early due to Li Xinghe's intervention.

They received a portion of Creation Merit. Although they had not gained as much as the Three Pure Ones, they were within Pangu Temple, and Li Xinghe had helped strengthen their origins. Thus, when the Twelve Ancestral Witches took form, they were already Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

"Defying heaven indeed. As expected of beings formed from Pangu's Essence Blood." Even Li Xinghe was astonished. He wondered what the Three Pure Ones would be like when they took form.
