Beyond this, Shen Ni dimly glimpsed his own fate—his end was near!
"An illusion, all an illusion!" Beast Emperor Shen Ni swung the God Slaying Spear, trying to shatter these laws.
"Just an Innate Supreme Treasure, and you dare act so arrogantly," Li Xinghe said disdainfully.
The next moment, the Chaos Shovel swung, and time around Beast Emperor Shen Ni seemed to stop flowing.
He himself stood motionless, unable to move even the God Slaying Spear, save for his inner thoughts.
This was the first time Li Xinghe had fully activated the Chaos Shovel. Compared to the Chaos Pearl, this unassuming shovel was his true Accompanying Spiritual Treasure.
In that instant, he truly achieved time stasis—though only for a fleeting moment, it was still terrifying.
"As expected, my 'dig, dig, dig' is still the best." With a thought from Li Xinghe, the God Slaying Spear was directly dug into his hand.
This was an Innate Killing Supreme Treasure, comparable only to the Pangu Banner, which had transformed from the Pangu Axe.
The others also sensed the anomaly, but since they weren't the target, their perception was shallow.
By the time they reacted, the God Slaying Spear in Shen Ni's hand had already vanished.
"What the hell, where's the God Slaying Spear?" Luohu nearly went mad. He had clearly felt that this treasure was fated for him—how could it disappear?
Could it be Daoist Shichen? Luohu was furious, but recalling the other's origins, he dared not act rashly.
"Who is it? Return my God Slaying Spear!" Shen Ni roared endlessly, his voice shaking the earth itself.
At that moment, Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin suddenly blazed with light.
The three clan leaders, who had been gravely wounded, instantly recovered to their peak condition.
Even their Accompanying Spiritual Treasures, which had just been shattered by the God Slaying Spear, were fully restored.
Aside from the Heavenly Dao, not even a Saint could accomplish this.
"Just as I thought, these three have immense Fortune. The next era of the Primordial World belongs to them." Li Xinghe directly withdrew.
He had already obtained what he wanted. Without his weapon, Shen Ni's strength would drop by at least half.
Meanwhile, Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin were overflowing with Fortune, making it impossible for them to lose.
The five powerhouses once again surrounded him. Now that Shen Ni had lost the God Slaying Spear, even with his higher realm, the others wielded powerful spiritual treasures and no longer feared him.
This battle was too fierce, and both sides were soon wounded again. The difference was that Shen Ni had no way to replenish himself, while the Three Primal Races seemed to possess an Immortal Body.
Whenever they were severely injured, they would automatically recover—this was the power of Fortune.
Although Hongjun and Luohu lacked the Fortune of the Three Primal Races, they were still key figures in the future Primordial World and could not die here.
"Damn it, who stole the God Slaying Spear?" Luohu was nearly driven mad.
In the end, Beast Emperor Shen Ni met his end under the siege of the five powerhouses.
"I hate this—if the God Slaying Spear hadn't been taken, none of you would be my match." Shen Ni chose to self-destruct.
He would rather end himself than die at the hands of those weaker than him.
The Fierce Beast Tribulation, which had lasted nearly two Eons, finally came to an end, marking the complete purification of the Primordial World from the resentment left by the fall of the Three Thousand Demon Gods and the Sha Qi of creation.
The Heavenly Dao descended Merit, and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races received immense rewards.
Hongjun and Luohu, having assisted the three races in besieging and killing Shen Ni, naturally obtained a portion of the Merit as well.
But the one who gained the most was still Li Xinghe. The Three Primal Races had been enlightened by him, and in the final battle, he had even taken Shen Ni's God Slaying Spear.
If not for him, this war would have dragged on who knows how long, and the Primordial World would have surely suffered further calamities.
"According to the original trajectory of the Primordial World, Beast Emperor Shen Ni was said to be at the late stage of Golden Immortal of the Origin, or even near its peak, when he fell. I shortened that process."
Li Xinghe basked in the Merit from pacifying the Fierce Beast Calamity, utterly at ease.
Earlier, to help the Twelve Ancestral Witches take form ahead of time, he had gone all out, spending his Creation Merit. Now, he was only just recovering a bit.
Merit was incredibly useful in the Primordial World—practically omnipotent.
Whether for cultivation, comprehending laws, or refining the restrictions of treasures, Merit could speed up the process.
Now, with the world clear and free from the interference of Fierce Beasts, many treasures in the Primordial World were about to be born.
The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Race, and Qilin Race developed at an explosive pace, instantly becoming the three most powerful races in the Primordial World.
Just as Li Xinghe had decreed on behalf of Pangu, the Dragon Clan became the commander of the Scaled Lineage, the Phoenix Race the commander of the Avian Lineage, and the Qilin Race the commander of the Beast Lineage.
After obtaining the power of Merit, Hongjun and Luohu immediately went into seclusion again.
Having experienced the final battle of the Fierce Beast Tribulation, they knew that a mysterious figure had taken the God Slaying Spear.
To steal an Innate Supreme Treasure from Shen Ni, a Golden Immortal of the Origin at the mid-stage, without a trace—such strength was astonishing.
Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin (Saint) would likely be no more than this.
They had no idea that Li Xinghe was entirely relying on the power of a Chaos Supreme Treasure and the Law of Time.
The Chaos Shovel, a Chaos Supreme Treasure, had formed unexpectedly under the Divine Thunder of the Great Dao, unknown to the Outside World.
A Chaos Supreme Treasure that fused the Laws of Time and Fate—even the Chaos Pearl might not compare.
After Pangu's three Chaos Supreme Treasures shattered, the Chaos Shovel could truly be called the number one supreme treasure.
Even Li Xinghe himself hadn't expected its power, since he had always treated the Chaos Shovel as a digging tool and never used it against an enemy.
"The God Slaying Spear—a fine treasure, but its Killing Qi is far too heavy." Inside the Pangu Temple, Li Xinghe toyed with this Innate Supreme Treasure.
He wondered how this treasure compared to the Pangu Banner in power. According to the trajectory of the Primordial World, after the Immortal-Demon War, Luohu's fate would be unknown, and the God Slaying Spear would vanish without a trace, never appearing in the later ages of the Primordial World.
But now that the God Slaying Spear had fallen into Li Xinghe's hands, it would surely reappear in the world someday.
Just imagine—when the Witch-Demon Tribulation came, if one of the Ancestral Witches wielded the God Slaying Spear, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Bell would hold no advantage.
Now, with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races dominating, the Primordial World had temporarily entered a period of peace.
But this state wouldn't last long. The way of the world had always been that long division must lead to union, and long union must lead to division.
With three races standing as equals, conflict was inevitable—especially with that old schemer Luohu constantly plotting in the shadows.
Once he finished digesting the merits from this Fierce Beast Calamity, he would surely find a way to stir up slaughter again.
After all, he cultivated the Path of Slaughter; the world's Killing Qi greatly aided his cultivation.
And it was by riding the terrifying carnage of the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation that Luohu surpassed Hongjun, becoming the nominal strongest being in the Primordial World.
Of course, all of that belonged to later ages. For now, the world had just settled, and Innate Beings in the Primordial World were emerging like bamboo shoots after spring rain.
At a time like this, Li Xinghe naturally wouldn't sit idle. Whether it was spiritual treasures, spiritual herbs, or Innate Beings themselves, the best course was to bring them under his command.
And it was also the perfect chance to find suitable treasures for the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Anyone who's ever been an Adoptive Father knows—children always give you endless worries.
Think of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of later ages. As the Pangu Orthodox, with astonishing talent and immense power, they still ended up in such a tragic state.
In the end, it was because they had no Primordial Spirit and were single-minded to a fault—fighting only with their fists. If each of them had possessed a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, they wouldn't have lost so miserably.
That burden could only fall on Li Xinghe's shoulders. After all, they called him Adoptive Father.
