The Great Tribulation Ends

The three Divine Beasts were still locked in slaughter, evenly matched in strength and Fortune, and in the end, they might truly be headed for Mutual Destruction.

Li Xinghe still had confidence in Yuan Feng. The Phoenix Clan possessed the power of immortality, able to be reborn from flames, and with the Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, guarding her, killing her would be far too difficult.

Just then, a flicker of warning rose in his heart.

On the vast primordial earth, a colossal millstone descended from the heavens, carrying boundless power of Destruction.

"The World-Ending Millstone!" Li Xinghe was deeply shaken. He already knew from the two Demon Gods that Luohu had obtained this treasure.

But how dared Luohu act so brazenly? This was the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, and he had the audacity to strike directly.

"No, it's not aimed at the three Divine Beasts. Luohu is merely a Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin. At the final juncture of the Tribulation, the three Divine Beasts are not something he can trifle with."

Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin were all Late Golden Immortals of the Origin. Even the World-Ending Millstone could not threaten the three of them.

Luohu's true target was the other living beings of the primordial continent. He truly intended to bring about annihilation.

"Outrageous! Luohu, do you truly think we don't exist?" Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Five Elements charged forward directly.

But now, Luohu, having absorbed the slaughter Qi of the Tribulation, had grown even stronger, and even the two Demon Gods were forced back by his power.

Luohu was utterly arrogant. In the past, he had feared the strength of the three Divine Beasts.

Now, with the three Divine Beasts gravely wounded and he himself having advanced to Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin, the World-Ending Millstone had become comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

As for Cause and Effect? What did a demonic cultivator care about Cause and Effect? Besides, like the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, the World-Ending Millstone was free of karmic entanglement.

This treasure was born for the very purpose of ending the world, and Luohu's move was simply following the current.

The World-Ending Millstone drove back the two Demon Gods, Qiankun and Five Elements, then pressed down once more.

The three Divine Beasts erupted with their auras and struck back in unison. With three Late Golden Immortals of the Origin attacking together, even the World-Ending Millstone was forced away.

"Get lost!" Ancestral Dragon Roared in fury.

Luohu's face filled with shock. He hadn't expected that even gravely wounded, these three Divine Beasts could display such ferocious might, enough to defy the World-Ending Millstone.

It seemed they would have to settle things among themselves. With that thought, Luohu turned and Departed directly, lest he be surrounded by the three Divine Beasts.

In that single strike, countless experts of the three clans had fallen beneath the World-Ending Millstone. He needed to digest that power again.

After Luohu left, the three Divine Beasts simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood.

The World-Ending Millstone's power was terrifying. Even with their higher cultivation, they had suffered no small loss.

The slaughter continued. Under the operation of the Heavenly Dao's rules, the three were locked in a battle to the death.

In the end, the lifebound treasures of the three Divine Beasts were nearly shattered. After one terrifying collision, the Phoenix Staff and the Qilin Seal were directly blown apart.

Meanwhile, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl vanished without a trace. Yuan Feng, shielded by the Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, bore the lightest injuries.

But Ancestral Dragon and Beginning Qilin had exhausted their last reserves, barely clinging to life by sheer will.

"Enough. We have all been schemed against." Ancestral Dragon sighed, knowing his fall was sealed.

Earlier, they had all gone mad with slaughter, completely influenced by the Tribulation Qi of heaven and earth, burning through their very origins until there was no turning back.

"The Three Primal Races are fated to withdraw from the stage of primordial history." Beginning Qilin's face was also bitter.

Yuan Feng looked at the two Divine Beasts with sorrow. In the old days, the three clans had advanced and retreated together, wiping out the Fierce Beasts—what glory that was.

"The Qilin Clan, from this day forth, withdraws from all primordial strife." Beginning Qilin drifted away, using his last breath to carve a path for the Qilin Race.

"All of the Dragon Clan, return to the Four Seas. From now on, never set foot on the primordial continent." Ancestral Dragon, bearing the heaviest wounds, left these final words before completely dissipating into heaven and earth.

Thus fell the first great power of the primordial world after the creation—Ancestral Dragon.

Only Yuan Feng, dragging her grievously wounded body, flew back to the Immortality Volcano.

Li Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Feng had survived. But what puzzled him was that the Ancestral Dragon Pearl had mysteriously vanished.

No matter how he performed Divination, he could not trace the Ancestral Dragon Pearl's whereabouts.

"Strange. In this primordial land, even a Top-level Demon God cannot escape my divination, let alone a mere treasure. What's going on with that Ancestral Dragon Pearl?"

At that very moment, at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, a young man was idly playing with the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in his hand, a sinister smile curling on his lips.

"The Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation has ended. Next comes the Dao-Demon Conflict, and then the Witch-Demon Calamity. I need to find a good backer!" the young man muttered to himself.

If Li Xinghe were here, he would be utterly shocked—because this man also knew everything that was to come.

But Li Xinghe had no time to continue his divination. A mere Ancestral Dragon Pearl was beneath his notice.

There was something far more important at hand. According to the original course of the primordial world, Yuan Feng had not died after the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation.

Instead, she was ambushed on her way back to the Immortality Volcano, and before her fall, she laid a Phoenix Egg—the future Kong Xuan.

"Damn it. How could I forget this?" Li Xinghe cursed inwardly, regretting that he hadn't stayed by Yuan Feng's side.

Outside the Immortality Volcano, just as Yuan Feng was about to enter, a terrifying beam of light shot toward her.

"Who goes there?" Yuan Feng was greatly startled. This person's strength seemed no less than her own.

She hastily summoned the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, barely managing to block the attack.

But she was already grievously wounded and could not hold out much longer.

"A Merit Supreme Treasure. Not bad. This old ancestor will gladly accept it." The figure in the shadows was surprised, but still showed no concern.

No one had expected the Primordial World to still harbor such an Old Six, and one whose strength was no less than that of the three clan leaders.

After all, even Li Xinghe was only at the Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin stage, yet this person had already reached Late Golden Immortal of the Origin.

"I advise you to Depart quickly, or you won't have another chance later." Yuan Feng's gaze was cold and sharp.

If not for the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, she might have faced the crisis of falling just now.

"Then let's try it!" The figure in the shadows showed no intention of revealing himself.

"Try my ass! Who gave you the guts to scheme against my woman?" At the critical moment, Li Xinghe tore through space and arrived.

The hidden existence was also taken aback. "It's you!"

"Few in the entire Chaos can evade my Divination. Let me see who you really are." Li Xinghe was furious, having nearly caused a catastrophe.

With a wave of his hand, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler returned to his grasp, and he directly slashed wildly at the void.

Though it seemed chaotic and disorderly, he had already infused it with the essence of the Three Primal Creation Styles.

At this point, even a Late Golden Immortal of the Origin would be beaten down before him.

The man was greatly startled—the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler in Li Xinghe's hands was far more formidable than when Yuan Feng wielded it.

"Li Xinghe, since Yuan Feng is your woman, let's call it quits here today." The figure in the shadows clearly knew how terrifying Li Xinghe was.

"Call it quits? If you dare scheme against my woman, you'd better be ready to die. The Primordial World doesn't allow such an arrogant existence."

Yet no matter how many times he struck, the opponent dodged him, proving to be an extremely troublesome foe.

Li Xinghe suddenly stopped, and the hidden presence finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me think—in all of Chaos, those who can evade my Divination are few and far between."

"Hongjun counts as one, and Luohu counts as another, but those two wouldn't dare, nor would they. Aside from them, there's the Karma Demon God, but he should have been scared out of his wits by now. That leaves only one."

"Right, the Space Demon God, Ancestor Yang Mei!" Li Xinghe stared coldly into the void.

Who else but him could evade his Hongmeng Measuring Ruler?

Moreover, since the creation of the world, aside from the Three Primal Races, there had been no Late Golden Immortal of the Origin-level powerhouse in the Primordial World. For this person to have reached such a realm, who else could it be but Ancestor Yang Mei, who had never fallen from the start?
