Beginning Qilin's Backstab

Yin Yang Demon God was also a top-tier Chaos Demon God, once firmly ranked among the top ten Chaos Demon Gods.

His involvement in the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation this time had been an accident. He knew well the trouble that came with becoming entangled in Cause and Effect.

So after the Dragon Clan invaded the land once more, he completely concealed himself. East Prince naturally reined in his ambitions as well.

This was merely a small interlude and did not affect the overall situation in the Primordial Wilderness.

The Dragon Clan's powerful return shocked the Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan.

In merely a few hundred years, the Dragon Clan's overall strength had grown considerably stronger.

Just as Li Xinghe had expected, the rules of the Heavenly Dao were behind all of this.

Rather than saying Luohu had secretly been causing trouble before, it would be more accurate to say that the Heavenly Dao had tacitly permitted it.

Now that Luohu was restrained by Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Five Elements and had no time to spare for anything else, the trajectory of Destiny had still allowed Yin Yang Demon God to intervene.

Although it was not enough to affect the overall situation, the rise in the Dragon Clan's overall strength was exceedingly strange.

The Heavenly Dao was clearly going easy on them, intending to make the Dragon Clan even stronger.

Strong enough to fight two opponents at once and ultimately perish together with the Phoenix and Qilin Clans.

That way, the first batch of beings born after the creation of heaven and earth would basically all be wiped out.

Whether the Scaled Lineage, Beast Lineage, or Avian Lineage, although they differed from Fierce Beasts, they were ultimately just unawakened beasts.

Moreover, most of them had been influenced in some way by the fall of the Three Thousand Demon Gods. They had to be thoroughly eliminated before the Primordial Wilderness could return to the proper course.

The Innate Beings of the second batch to take form were the purest Primordial Beings. They no longer had any connection to the fallen Three Thousand Demon Gods.

For example, the Three Pure Ones, East Prince, Queen Mother of the West, Zhenyuanzi, and Hongyun—such figures would become the pillars of the Primordial World in the future.

Li Xinghe had seen through this precisely, which was why he no longer stopped the Phoenix Clan from entering the tribulation.

Since they could not avoid it, they could only face it head-on. The difference was that the Phoenix Clan had Li Xinghe supporting them from behind.

Now he was fighting the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps the Phoenix Clan would eventually withdraw from the stage of Primordial Wilderness history, but they would never fall so miserably.

Just as the Qilin Clan suffered defeat after defeat, Beginning Qilin finally emerged from seclusion.

"Ancestral Dragon, I will make you repay the humiliation of that day tenfold!" Beginning Qilin was furious. Ancestral Dragon's sneak attack had forced him to spend hundreds of years recovering before he could return to his peak.

Now he too was a Late Golden Immortal of the Origin. In a head-on battle, he did not fear Ancestral Dragon.

"Just you? Have Yuan Feng come too." Ancestral Dragon remained as arrogant as ever.

Only before Li Xinghe had he acted submissive for a while. Everywhere else, he had to show off.

If there had not been a Show-Off Demon God among the Three Thousand Demon Gods, Li Xinghe might have suspected that Ancestral Dragon was the reincarnation of one.

"As you wish, Ancestral Dragon. Today, we shall determine victory and defeat—and life and death." A phoenix cry rang throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

Everyone knew that the true final battle had arrived. This battle would determine who became the ruler of the Primordial Wilderness continent.

The experts of every race poured out in full force and fought across the Primordial Wilderness continent.

Endless killing intent surged, while the Tribulation Qi throughout the Primordial Wilderness grew dense to its limit.

In the Chaos beyond the Primordial World, Demon Ancestor Luohu laughed heartily. "Qiankun, Five Elements, even if you stop me, you cannot change the situation in the Primordial Wilderness. The Three Primal Races have already gone to war."

He could sense that the power of the World-Ending Millstone was still increasing. As an ungraded treasure, it had no upper limit.

Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Five Elements' expressions changed slightly. Human schemes could not match the will of heaven. The Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation was unavoidable, and the Phoenix Clan's participation meant Li Xinghe had become deeply entangled in it as well.

"Return to the Primordial Wilderness!" The two Demon Gods exchanged a glance, knowing there was no longer any point in stopping Luohu.

Moreover, they had already sensed Li Xinghe's summons. The Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation had reached its final stage.

Whichever side won this battle would become the true overlord of the Primordial Wilderness.

Those within the tribulation struggled for that sliver of Fortune, while those standing apart watched the battlefield closely.

The Three Primal Races had monopolized the Fortune of the Primordial Wilderness for two Eons. No one wanted another supreme overlord to emerge.

Ancestral Dragon believed he was favored by the Heavenly Dao, but in truth, he had already become the enemy of the entire world.

Whether the Phoenix and Qilin Clans or everyone else, none wished to see Ancestral Dragon rule the world alone.

Xuan Ming and Houtu stood within the Phoenix Clan's army. Working together, the two of them could even fight an Early Golden Immortal of the Origin.

The Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner enveloped this region, providing the Phoenix Clan with considerable protection.

Once the Pure World White Lotus appeared, the Dragon Clan retreated one after another. The two Ancestral Witches had entered the tribulation, invisibly increasing the Phoenix Clan's Fortune by a great deal.

Li Xinghe watched the battlefield at all times. If Yuan Feng were in danger, he would act at once.

Yet in principle, Yuan Feng's strength was no weaker than that of the other two clan leaders. Furthermore, she now possessed the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler. If she truly used that treasure, Ancestral Dragon might not be her match.

The Three Divine Beasts fought in the void, turning heaven and earth dark. As the tribulation reached its most critical moment, their strength continued to rise.

Before long, Ancestral Dragon was suppressed and heavily wounded by Yuan Feng and Beginning Qilin. Fighting one against two placed him under too much pressure.

Then, at that moment, Beginning Qilin suddenly launched a sneak attack on Yuan Feng, infuriating her.

"Beginning Qilin, have you gone mad?!" Yuan Feng shouted angrily.

"Of the Three Primal Races, only one is destined to dominate the Primordial Wilderness. Now that Ancestral Dragon has been defeated, you and I have become rivals." Beginning Qilin snorted coldly.

Sure enough, desire drove people mad. From beginning to end, Yuan Feng had never intended to contend for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness. She had never expected Beginning Qilin to be just like Ancestral Dragon.

"Then die!" Yuan Feng had been heavily wounded by the sneak attack and was enraged beyond measure.

"Both you and Ancestral Dragon are heavily wounded now. What gives you the right to fight me?" Beginning Qilin laughed loudly.

The relationship between the Three Races was like a triangular balance. As the Fortune of the other two races declined, the Qilin Clan's Fortune naturally soared.

"Do you really think you've won?" In her fury, Yuan Feng directly summoned the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

Once the Merit Supreme Treasure appeared, it ignored Cause and Effect and suppressed heaven and earth. Beginning Qilin was caught off guard and smashed into the ground by the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

"Roar!" Beginning Qilin shot into the sky once more. He had not expected Yuan Feng to possess such a supreme treasure.

This was a true supreme treasure, not something like the Ancestral Dragon Pearl that came infinitely close to one.

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler possessed one-tenth of the Merit from the creation of heaven and earth and protected Yuan Feng. The two Divine Beasts fought madly, and in the end, Beginning Qilin was heavily wounded as well.

The three clan leaders of the Three Primal Races now all had weakened auras.

Without outside interference, events would likely still follow the Primordial Wilderness's original trajectory, with the Three Divine Beasts perishing together.

The battle among the experts of the Three Races had also reached its final stage. The Qilin Clan's betrayal enraged the Phoenix Clan.

What had originally been two races fighting the Dragon Clan became a chaotic melee among all three races.

The battlefield was a mess. Fortunately, the Phoenix Clan had the support of the two Ancestral Witches, while the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, Twelve-Grade Pure World Green Lotus, and Twelve Sea-Calming Pearls—three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures—held one side of the battlefield in check.

At this time, Luohu in the Chaos, along with Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Five Elements, all returned to the Primordial World.

"Qiankun, Five Elements, lend the Phoenix Clan a hand." Li Xinghe gave the order directly.

The two Hunyuan Golden Immortals charged through the battlefield, scattering the Qilin and Dragon Clans. The strength of Chaos Demon Gods was enough to drive people to despair.

The two of them could stand against the three clan leaders head-on. Dealing with ordinary Qilin and Dragon Clan members was far too easy.

"The Fortune of the Three Races is dissipating, and the Tribulation Qi between heaven and earth has weakened considerably." Li Xinghe stared at the land of the Primordial Wilderness.

"That old Hongjun is secretly siphoning away the Fortune of the Three Races again." Li Xinghe swiped the Chaos Shovel, instantly gathering the dissipating Fortune of the Three Races.

When it came to playing dirty, Hongjun was still lacking. Besides, the true Fortune of the Three Races remained with Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin.
