Several tens of thousands of years after the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, thunder suddenly rumbled across the Western World.

The endless baleful aura of the Primordial World, including the blood essence left behind by fallen experts of the Three Races, all poured into Mount Sumeru.

Demon Ancestor Luohu stood atop Mount Sumeru. "Not enough. Still not enough."

Under his control, all the spiritual qi of the Western World gathered at Mount Sumeru.

Even some innocent living beings were directly crushed by the World-Ending Millstone, and countless grievances were drawn in as well.

"Haha, after tens of thousands of years, it is finally complete."

Below Mount Sumeru, four peerless immortal swords suddenly shot into the sky as the Heavenly Dao sent down a lightning tribulation.

This treasure was simply too heaven-defying. Although it was not a supreme treasure, all four immortal swords had reached the level of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Though forged by Luohu, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian were neither gold, silver, copper, nor iron. They had been cast from endless baleful aura and the blood essence of gods and demons, so they could also be considered Innate Spirit Treasures.

A Formation Diagram was born alongside the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. When the four swords were arranged with the diagram, they formed the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

The four swords were the Zhu Xian Sword, Lu Xian Sword, Xian Xian Sword, and Jue Xian Sword.

Not far from Mount Sumeru, Jieyin and Zhunti hid in the shadows, gazing enviously at the four swords radiating monstrous killing intent.

"Damn Luohu! He sacrificed more than half the Western World's spiritual qi to forge these four immortal swords. He has practically cut off our path of cultivation!" Zhunti cursed without stopping.

"That devil is far too arrogant. Sooner or later, the Heavenly Dao will take him in hand," Jieyin cursed as well.

"Senior Brother, Western Spiritual Qi is scarce now. Should we change our cultivation grounds?" Zhunti truly could not stand staying there any longer.

Jieyin shook his head. The two of them possessed some Fortune themselves and could vaguely sense the Heavenly Dao Operation Rules.

"Luohu will fall sooner or later. When that happens, Mount Sumeru and the Four Swords of Zhu Xian will both be ours." Jieyin was filled with anticipation.

Before long, the two hid themselves again. They were too close to Mount Sumeru; if Luohu discovered them, things would become troublesome.

The birth of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian shook the entire Primordial Wilderness. Though they were not supreme treasures, their baleful aura soared into the heavens, causing an even greater commotion than the birth of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Many Demon Gods were astonished. None of them had expected Luohu to be so mad as to forge such a set of spirit treasures.

At Immortality Volcano, Li Xinghe had long since broken through to the Late Golden Immortal of the Origin under dozens-fold Time Acceleration.

"The Four Swords of Zhu Xian—good stuff. But Luohu's actions will surely not be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao."

Beside him stood Yuan Feng, holding a delicate-looking child. It was the child she and Li Xinghe had had together.

The child had been born an immortal and possessed extraordinary Talent, which was within expectations.

The only fucking thing Li Xinghe was unhappy about was that the child was a fucking peacock.

If not for the bloodline connection confirming that this was his son, he would have nearly thought he had been cuckolded.

The child was still named Kong Xuan, the first peacock in heaven and earth.

Back when he read Primordial Wilderness novels, he had wondered how Yuan Feng, the mighty Phoenix Clan leader, could give birth to a peacock.

And Ancestral Dragon's nine sons were even more bizarre.

In the end, the Primordial Wilderness had only recently opened, and there were too few species in the world. The Heavenly Dao used this method to increase the variety of life in the Primordial Wilderness.

Li Xinghe still felt somewhat hung up over the fact that his son was a peacock. One day, he would settle the score with that damned Heavenly Dao.

Elsewhere, Hongjun had only recently refined the Pangu Banner when he sensed the birth of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

"Luohu is intolerable to heaven and earth. I shall slay this devil and restore clarity to the Primordial Wilderness."

Guided by the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun headed straight for the Western World.

"Hongjun brat, you came at the perfect time. Today, I will use you as a sacrifice for my swords!" Luohu's momentum was at its peak.

"Just a few top-grade spirit treasures, yet you dare act so arrogantly." Hongjun snorted and directly summoned the Pangu Banner.

The powerful aura of an Innate Supreme Treasure erupted, leaving even Luohu stunned.

The birth of the Pangu Banner had caused little commotion. Hongjun was one favored by destiny, so he naturally obtained this treasure with ease.

"So what if it is an Innate Supreme Treasure? Behold my Zhu Xian Sword Formation." Luohu's heart burned with fury.

Why was Hongjun so lucky? He had obtained fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation and then acquired the Pangu Banner as well.

As a Chaos Demon God, Luohu naturally sensed the familiar aura on the Pangu Banner. It came from the Pangu Axe, the greatest treasure of Chaos.

A Formation Diagram covered Mount Sumeru, while the four peerless immortal swords overflowed with terrifying baleful aura. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals would likely not dare approach them.

Hongjun's expression changed. He had not expected the four immortal swords to be so strange. They were merely Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, yet they unleashed power no weaker than an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Many experts had already been watching from the shadows. Both Hongjun and Luohu possessed overwhelming Fortune; whoever won would have a chance to rule the Primordial Wilderness.

"As expected of the Primordial First Killing Formation." Li Xinghe was deeply shocked. Luohu was indeed terrifyingly powerful at this moment. Without using a supreme treasure, even he was not confident he could break the formation.

"Is it really that powerful?" Qian Kun and Five Elements had also arrived nearby. Sensing that Li Xinghe was there, they naturally gathered with him.

As former Top-level Demon Gods, they found it difficult to accept that Luohu had surpassed them.

"Once the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is complete, it can only be broken by four experts equal in strength to its caster. Otherwise, anyone trapped inside will inevitably be slowly worn away until death." Li Xinghe's expression was grave.

He was warning Qian Kun. If events followed the original trajectory of the Primordial Wilderness, Hongjun would eventually invite him to join forces against Luohu.

And when that time came, Qian Kun would die, while Hongjun would claim the final victory.

"So Hongjun is bound to die?" Five Elements said with glee.

In the River of Destiny, he had seen himself killed by Hongjun. Although Li Xinghe had changed his fate, he still remained constantly wary of Hongjun.

If Hongjun were killed by Luohu, then his fate would be completely changed, and he would no longer need to worry.

Li Xinghe shook his head. Hongjun, that old schemer, was only testing the waters this time. He had never intended to kill Luohu in a single attempt.

Once the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was deployed, Mount Sumeru was enveloped. Hongjun was merely probing from the outskirts and did not dare risk entering it himself.

"Hongjun, is this all the courage you have?" Luohu's wildly arrogant voice rang out.

The Four Swords of Zhu Xian had been forged by Luohu, so he could unleash the full power of all four immortal swords.

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation was effectively a complete Innate Supreme Treasure. At this moment, even the Pangu Banner was far inferior, because Hongjun had yet to completely refine the Innate Divine Restrictions within it.

"Luohu, you have slaughtered the Primordial Wilderness and will surely suffer heavenly punishment. Once I completely refine the Pangu Banner, your death will come." After probing for a while, Hongjun ultimately retreated cautiously.

Luohu burst into laughter. The might displayed by the Zhu Xian Sword Formation sent his confidence soaring to its peak.

"I, Demon Ancestor Luohu, have set the Zhu Xian Sword Formation upon Mount Sumeru today. All heroes under heaven may come and break it." Luohu's voice spread to every corner of the Primordial Wilderness.

"He is too arrogant! Why don't we call Yuan Feng and break the Zhu Xian Sword Formation?" Qian Kun could no longer endure it. This was clearly aimed at former Top-level Demon Gods like them.

After the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, the strongest native beings of the Primordial Wilderness were only at the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. Asking them to break the formation was a joke.

"Look at you, getting worked up again." Li Xinghe glared at him, making Qian Kun immediately shrink back.

"As a qualified seasoned schemer, do not act rashly. Hongjun is not in a hurry, so what are you rushing for?"

Li Xinghe could naturally break the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, but he could not work for Hongjun.

Besides, he knew Hongjun had not used his full strength at all. According to Hongjun's cultivation system in later generations, Hongjun should currently be at the middle stage of Quasi-Saint.

In other words, he had already slain at least one corpse. Perhaps once he succeeded in Slaying Three Corpses, with his true body added in, he would have more than enough power to break the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.
