The Three Divine Beasts were still locked in battle. Their strength and fortune were evenly matched, and in the end, they might truly perish together.
Li Xinghe remained fully confident in Yuan Feng. The Phoenix Clan possessed the power of immortality and could be reborn through fire. Moreover, she had the Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, protecting her. Killing her would be extremely difficult.
Just then, a warning suddenly rose in his heart.
Above the Primordial Wilderness, a massive millstone descended from the heavens, carrying endless power of destruction.
"World-Ending Millstone!" Li Xinghe was utterly shocked. He had already learned from the two Demon Gods that Luohu had obtained this treasure.
But how could Luohu dare do this? This was the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, yet he actually dared to intervene directly.
"No, it isn't aimed at the Three Divine Beasts. Luohu is merely a Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin. At the final stage of the calamity, the Three Divine Beasts are not foes he can afford to provoke."
Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Beginning Qilin had all reached the Late Golden Immortal 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 Wilderness. He truly wanted to destroy the world.
"How outrageous! Luohu, do you really think we do not exist?" Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Five Elements immediately stepped forward.
However, Luohu had gained the slaughterous aura of the calamity, and his strength had risen once more. He actually forced back both Demon Gods.
Luohu was incomparably arrogant. In the past, he had feared the strength of the Three Divine Beasts.
Now that the Three Divine Beasts had been severely injured, he himself had advanced to the Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin, and the World-Ending Millstone was already comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure.
As for cause and effect? Why would a cultivator of the demonic path fear cause and effect? Besides, like the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, the World-Ending Millstone was untouched by cause and effect.
This treasure had been born for the destruction of the world. Luohu was merely following the natural course of events.
The World-Ending Millstone forced back the two Demon Gods, Qian Kun and Five Elements, before suppressing them once more.
The Three Divine Beasts erupted with power and counterattacked simultaneously. With three Late Golden Immortals of the Origin striking together, even the World-Ending Millstone was blasted away.
"Get lost!" Ancestral Dragon roared.
Luohu's face was full of shock. He had not expected the Three Divine Beasts to retain such ferocious might despite their grave injuries. Even the World-Ending Millstone could not suppress them.
It seemed they would have to settle matters themselves. With that thought, Luohu turned and left at once, lest he be surrounded by the Three Divine Beasts.
Under that earlier strike of the World-Ending Millstone, countless experts of the Three Races had fallen. He needed to digest it all once again.
Once Luohu had departed, the Three Divine Beasts spat out blood at the same time.
The World-Ending Millstone was terrifyingly powerful. Even with their higher realms, they had suffered no small losses.
The slaughter continued. Under the operation of the Heavenly Dao's laws, the three had already reached a point where only death could end their conflict.
In the end, the Three Divine Beasts' natal treasures were nearly shattered. Following another terrifying collision, the Phoenix Staff and Qilin Seal were directly blown apart.
Yet the Ancestral Dragon Pearl vanished without a trace. Protected by the Merit Supreme Treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, Yuan Feng had suffered the lightest injuries.
Ancestral Dragon and Beginning Qilin, meanwhile, had exhausted their final reserves and were barely clinging to life.
"Enough. We have all been plotted against." Ancestral Dragon sighed. His death was already inevitable.
Earlier, they had all fought themselves mad, completely affected by the Tribulation Qi between heaven and earth. Their origins had been exhausted, and there was no longer any hope of recovery.
"The Three Primal Races are destined to withdraw from the stage of Primordial Wilderness history." Beginning Qilin also wore a bitter expression.
Yuan Feng looked at the two Divine Beasts, a trace of sorrow appearing in her eyes. Back then, the three races had advanced and retreated together, exterminating the Fierce Beasts. How glorious they had been.
"The Qilin Race will withdraw from the conflicts of the Primordial Wilderness from this day forth." Beginning Qilin drifted away, using his final breath to arrange a path of survival for the Qilin Race.
"Members of the Dragon Clan, return to the Four Seas. From this day onward, never set foot upon the Primordial Wilderness again." Ancestral Dragon was the most severely injured. After leaving behind those final words, he completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
A generation's overlord, the strongest being in the Primordial Wilderness after creation, Ancestral Dragon, had fallen.
Only Yuan Feng dragged her heavily injured body back to Immortality Volcano.
Li Xinghe also 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 find any trace of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
"Strange. In this Primordial Wilderness, aside from supreme treasures, not even top-level Demon Gods can escape my calculations. What is going on with the Ancestral Dragon Pearl?"
At this moment, beneath Kunlun Mountain, a young man was playing with the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in his hand, a wicked smile appearing on his face.
"The Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation has ended. Next will be the Dao-Demon Conflict, followed by the Witch-Demon Calamity. I need to find myself a good patron!" the young man muttered to himself.
If Li Xinghe had been here, he would have been utterly shocked, because this person also knew everything that would happen in the future.
However, Li Xinghe had no time to continue his divination. He did not think much of a mere Ancestral Dragon Pearl.
At this moment, another matter was far more important. According to the original trajectory of the Primordial Wilderness, Yuan Feng had not died after the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation.
Instead, she had been ambushed on her way back to Immortality Volcano. Before dying, she gave birth to a Phoenix Egg—the future Kong Xuan.
"Damn it, how did I forget about that?" Li Xinghe secretly regretted it. He should have stayed by Yuan Feng's side at all times.
Outside Immortality Volcano, Yuan Feng had just been about to enter when a terrifying beam of light shot toward her.
"Who is it?" Yuan Feng was greatly alarmed. This person's strength seemed no weaker than her own.
She hurriedly summoned the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler and only barely managed to block the attack.
However, she was already gravely wounded and likely could not hold on much longer.
"A Merit Supreme Treasure. Not bad. This ancestor shall gladly accept it." Although the person hidden in the darkness was surprised, he did not take it seriously.
No one had expected that the Primordial World still concealed such a schemer, and one whose strength was no weaker than the leaders of the Three Races.
Even Li Xinghe was only a Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin, yet this person had already reached the Late Golden Immortal of the Origin.
"I advise you to leave at once. Otherwise, you will not have another chance later." Yuan Feng's gaze was icy.
Without the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, she might have faced the danger of death from that earlier strike.
"Then let's try it!" The person in the darkness clearly had no intention of revealing himself.
"Try your ass! You dare plot against my woman? Who gave you the guts?" At the crucial moment, Li Xinghe crossed space and arrived.
The hidden existence was also greatly shocked. "It's you!"
"Only a handful in all Chaos can avoid my divination. Let me see who you really are." Li Xinghe was furious. Disaster had nearly struck.
With a wave of his hand, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler returned to his grasp, and he began savagely slashing at the Void.
It looked chaotic and disorderly, but he had already incorporated the profound meaning of the Three Primal Creation Styles.
At this moment, even a Late Golden Immortal of the Origin would be beaten flat before him.
That person was greatly startled. The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler was far more powerful in Li Xinghe's hands than it had been in Yuan Feng's.
"Li Xinghe, since Yuan Feng is your woman, let us end things here today." The person in the darkness clearly knew how terrifying Li Xinghe was.
"End things here? If you dare plot against my woman, then you had better be prepared to die. The Primordial World does not allow such an overbearing existence."
Yet after attacking several times, Li Xinghe found that his opponent evaded every strike. He was truly difficult to deal with.
Li Xinghe suddenly stopped attacking, and the hidden existence finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me think. In all Chaos, only a handful can avoid my divination."
"Hongjun counts as one, and Luohu counts as another. But neither of them could or would do this. Other than them, there is only the Karma Demon God. He should have been frightened out of his wits as well, so that leaves only one."
"Isn't that right, Space Demon God Ancestor Yang Mei?" Li Xinghe stared coldly into the Void.
Other than him, who else could evade his Hongmeng Measuring Ruler?
Moreover, since creation, aside from the Three Primal Races, there had been no Late Golden Immortal of the Origin in the Primordial World. Who else could possess such a realm besides Yang Mei, who had not fallen back then?
