The Phoenix Clan Joins the Battle

The Phoenix Clan Leader, Yuan Feng

On the vast lands of the Primordial World, the conflict between the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Race had reached a fever pitch.

The Son of the Ancestral Dragon and the Son of the Beginning Qilin had personally entered the fray, and the first batch of dragons and qilins born since the world's creation were also locked in battle.

Across a desolate expanse of earth, Fierce Beasts roamed everywhere. Under the leadership of the Qilin Race, the Beast Race fought with all their might to resist the invasion of the Scaled Lineage.

At that moment, a Fierce Beast that resembled a dragon but was exceptionally powerful was slaughtering its opponents.

"Chi Wen, you dare set foot on land? Today, I will surely slay you," said the Son of the Beginning Qilin, Si Bu Xiang, as he flew in from the distant horizon.

"Relying on you?" Chi Wen sneered coldly.

Of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, he was the youngest, yet the most like the Ancestral Dragon. He loved slaughter, and his cultivation ranked among the top of the nine brothers.

The two Divine Beasts clashed directly. In terms of strength, both had just entered the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Such power was already formidable in the current Primordial World, especially since even the Three Pure Ones were only at Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Of course, the Three Pure Ones had only recently taken form, while these Fierce Beasts had been cultivating for who knows how many years.

The two Divine Beasts were evenly matched, and in their fierce battle, countless lesser beasts perished in the shockwaves of their fight.

After who knows how many days and nights, two more giant demons flew over from afar—they were the Ancestral Dragon's sons, Fu Xi and Bi An.

"Si Bu Xiang, meet your death!" The two Divine Beasts charged straight in.

Three against one. Si Bu Xiang was instantly gravely wounded and turned to flee.

"Cowards, ganging up on me! The Dragon Clan goes too far!" Si Bu Xiang fumed with rage.

"Fool. This is a battlefield, not a duel." Chi Wen couldn't care less; all he wanted was to kill more qilins.

The three Divine Beasts continued their pursuit. Si Bu Xiang was in a wretched state, on the verge of falling.

Just then, two figures descended from the sky—Xuan Ming and Houtu, who had just left Kunlun Mountain.

"Oh! This Divine Beast seems to be from the Qilin Race," Xuan Ming said in surprise.

Although Si Bu Xiang had a bizarre form, his massive head resembled that of a qilin, making him easy to identify.

Moreover, the Qilin Race lived at Buzhou Mountain, making them neighbors of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"It looks like he's being hunted," Houtu said, unable to bear the sight.

Without hesitation, Xuan Ming flew forward and blocked the three sons of the Ancestral Dragon.

"You three monsters, go back where you came from. This qilin is under this young lady's protection," Xuan Ming scolded.

Chi Wen's expression changed. He couldn't see through Xuan Ming's cultivation, which clearly meant she was stronger than him.

"I am Chi Wen, son of the Ancestral Dragon. This qilin is my clan's enemy. Are you certain you want to make an enemy of the Dragon Clan?" Chi Wen shot back.

By now, everyone in the Primordial World knew of the Three Primal Races, and the Ancestral Dragon's might surpassed even that of the Beginning Qilin and Yuan Feng.

Even the Innate Beings could only yield when faced with the Three Races.

The Dragon Clan had always been arrogant and proud, so they naturally didn't take Xuan Ming seriously.

But if they hadn't announced their identity, it might have been different. The moment she heard they were from the Dragon Clan, Xuan Ming's face twisted into a cold sneer.

"Since none of you are willing to leave, don't blame me for killing you." Xuan Ming was at the Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm; dealing with these Small Fry was effortless.

Though the Three Primal Races were Divine Beasts with powerful bodies, going up against an Ancestral Witch with the Pangu Bloodline was like an egg smashing against a rock.

And so, Xuan Ming effortlessly slew the three sons of the Ancestral Dragon.

"Thank you both for saving my life!" Si Bu Xiang was both shocked and overjoyed. Not only had they saved him, but they had also wiped out his pursuers.

These were three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals—top-tier combat power even for the Dragon Clan.

"Little qilin, don't make me sound old. I just happened to have a grudge against the Dragon Clan," Xuan Ming said with a smile.

Si Bu Xiang respectfully invited the two into his camp.

Now that the Dragon Clan was invading the land from the Four Seas, the Qilin Race was struggling to cope and probably couldn't hold out much longer.

With two new powerful allies, Si Bu Xiang was ecstatic. These two were actually Late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals—a level of expert that even the Qilin Race didn't have many of.

The death of the Ancestral Dragon's three sons sent shockwaves through the Dragon Clan.

A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was a high-level combatant across the Primordial World, let alone the sons of the Ancestral Dragon.

Xuan Ming and Houtu had originally planned to oppose the Dragon Clan anyway. Now that the Qilin Race treated them with courtesy, they naturally continued to side with them.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Devil Ancestor Luohu still felt the Primordial World wasn't chaotic enough. Of the Three Primal Races, only the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Race had been drawn in so far.

So he secretly sowed discord, intending to provoke the Phoenix Clan into joining as well.

But the Immortality Volcano was currently sealed off from the outside, leaving Luohu with no way in.

After some scheming, he decided to target the other avian races of the Primordial World, secretly inciting the Dragon Clan to act against them.

The Avian Lineage wasn't limited to the Phoenix Clan alone; there were many other bird races.

Even if the Phoenix Clan didn't intervene, the strength of the other avian races couldn't be ignored.

The already chaotic Primordial World became even more turbulent, and Luohu was thrilled. The more slaughter in heaven and earth, the more powerful the World-Ending Millstone grew.

Moreover, compared to the Fierce Beast Calamity, the overall strength of the Primordial World had increased significantly.

Back then, Beast Emperor Shen Ni had sacrificed the entire Fierce Beast Race just to reach the mid-stage Golden Immortal of the Origin, whereas now the three clan leaders of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races were all at that same realm.

As for Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, no one knew how many there were. As the tribulation intensified, the three clans would continue to produce even more experts.

By then, the World-Ending Millstone would surely reach a level comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Soon, the struggle on the land of the Primordial World had reached a fever pitch.

Whoever could survive this tribulation would surely rule over the Primordial World.

The Dragon Clan launched an all-out war, madly invading the land, while the Avian Lineage, due to Luohu's instigation, also suffered heavy losses.

Without the Phoenix Clan's involvement, the Avian Lineage was no match for the Dragon Clan.

Soon, the various races of the Avian Lineage suffered devastating losses, and some were even completely wiped out.

At this critical juncture, the races had no choice but to go to the Immortality Volcano and beg the Phoenix Clan for help.

Although the Phoenix Clan had declared they would seal off their mountain, that didn't mean they had completely cut off contact with the Outside World.

"Please, Phoenix Clan, come forth from your mountain and uphold justice for us!" Outside the Immortality Volcano, many powerful beings of the Avian Lineage knelt and bowed toward it.

Yuan Feng couldn't bear it, and in the end, she invited the various races into the Immortality Volcano.

"Forget it, forget it. It seems this is the will of the Heavenly Dao." Li Xinghe looked helpless. Though Yuan Feng obeyed his commands, she was still the commander of the Avian Lineage.

If she abandoned the other races of the Avian Lineage, the Phoenix Clan would completely lose the support and trust of all the races.

Still, the Phoenix Clan had managed to delay their involvement until now, preserving much of their strength.

Moreover, having stayed in the Immortality Volcano for so long, Li Xinghe had already taken Yuan Feng as his own.

Their relationship had deepened, and through their dual cultivation during this time, both had gained something.

"With my lord guarding the Immortality Volcano, I believe the Phoenix Lineage won't suffer too heavy a loss." Yuan Feng had great trust in Li Xinghe.

"In the end, it's still Luohu stirring up trouble in the shadows. Once the Phoenix Clan joins, the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation will officially begin." Li Xinghe made secret calculations, hoping to deduce a path of survival for Yuan Feng.

Since Yuan Feng had become his woman, he would never let her come to harm. If worst came to worst, he would just flip the table.

Previously, he had always been wary of the Heavenly Dao, so he stayed behind the scenes, unwilling to get entangled in Cause and Effect.

Even during the Fierce Beast Calamity, he had only secretly made a few moves.

"Oh? Houtu and Xuan Ming, those two girls, are already caught up in the tribulation." It was a sudden whim on his part. The two Ancestral Witches had been wandering the Primordial World on their own for some time now.

He had only made a casual divination, never expecting that the two Ancestral Witches had gotten mixed up with the Qilin Race.
