The Four Swords of Zhu Xian

Tens of thousands of years after the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, rolling thunder suddenly crashed across the Western World.

The endless Sha Qi of the Primordial World, along with the blood and vital energy of the fallen powerhouses of the Three Races, all surged into Mount Sumeru.

The Devil Ancestor Luohu stood atop Mount Sumeru's peak. "Not enough. Still not enough."

Under his control, all the spiritual qi of the Western World converged upon Mount Sumeru.

Even some innocent living beings were directly ground down by the World-Ending Millstone, and countless resentful energies were drawn in as well.

"Haha, after spending tens of thousands of years, it's finally done."

Beneath Mount Sumeru, four peerless immortal swords suddenly shot into the sky, and the Heavenly Dao descended a thunder tribulation.

This treasure was too heaven-defying. Though not a supreme treasure, each of the four swords had reached the level of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Although forged by Luohu, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian were neither gold, silver, copper, nor iron. They were cast from endless Sha Qi and the blood of Gods and Devils, and thus counted as innate spiritual treasures.

Accompanying the Four Swords of Zhu Xian as they emerged was a Formation Diagram. When the four swords were arranged with this diagram into the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, it rivaled an Innate Supreme Treasure.

The four swords were named 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 with envy at the four swords whose murderous might soared to the heavens.

"That damned Luohu sacrificed most of the Western World's spiritual qi to forge these four immortal swords—he's practically cut off our path of cultivation!" Zhunti cursed without end.

"This demon is far too arrogant. The Heavenly Dao will collect him sooner or later," Jieyin also cursed.

"Elder Brother, now that the Western World's spiritual qi is depleted, should we find a new cultivation dojo?" Zhunti could no longer bear to stay.

Jieyin shook his head. These two carried some Fortune themselves, and they could vaguely sense the Heavenly Dao Operation Rules.

"Luohu will fall sooner or later. When he does, Mount Sumeru and the Four Swords of Zhu Xian will be ours," Jieyin said, full of hope.

Soon, the two went into hiding again. They were too close to Mount Sumeru—if Luohu discovered them, there would be trouble.

The emergence of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian shook the entire Primordial World. Though they were not supreme treasures, their Sha Qi soared to the heavens, causing even more commotion than the birth of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Many Demon Gods were astonished. They hadn't expected Luohu to be so mad as to forge such a set of spiritual treasures.

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

"The Four Swords of Zhu Xian—good stuff. But Luohu's actions here will surely be rejected by the Heavenly Dao."

Beside him, Yuan Feng held a child with a clear, handsome face—their child together.

The child was born an immortal with powerful Talent, which was within expectations.

The only thing that pissed Li Xinghe off was that what came out was still a peacock.

If it weren't for the bloodline connection confirming this was his son, he'd almost think he'd been cuckolded.

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

Back when he read Primordial World novels, he'd always wondered how Yuan Feng, the dignified chieftain of the Phoenix Clan, gave birth to a peacock.

And then there was the Ancestral Dragon, whose nine sons were even more bizarre.

In the end, it was because the Primordial World had just opened, with too few races in heaven and earth. The Heavenly Dao used this method to increase the species of the Primordial World.

As for his son being a peacock, Li Xinghe still had a knot in his heart. Damn heavens—one day, he'd settle accounts with them.

On the other side, Hongjun had just finished refining the Pangu Banner when he sensed the birth of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

"Luohu truly cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth. I shall slay this demon and restore clarity to the Primordial World."

Guided by the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun charged straight to the Western World.

"Hongjun the Child, you've come at just the right time. This Seat will use you to baptize my swords today!" Luohu's momentum was at its peak.

"Merely a top-grade spiritual treasure, and you dare to be so arrogant?" Hongjun snorted coldly and directly unleashed the Pangu Banner.

The powerful aura of the Innate Supreme Treasure burst forth, shocking even Luohu.

The Pangu Banner's emergence had caused little commotion. Hongjun was destined by the Heavenly Mandate, so obtaining this treasure had been easy for him.

"So what if it's an Innate Supreme Treasure? Watch my Zhu Xian Sword Formation!" Luohu's heart burned with rage.

Why did Hongjun have such good luck? He could obtain fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation and then the Pangu Banner.

As a Chaos Demon God, he naturally sensed the familiar aura on the Pangu Banner—it came from the Pangu Axe, the number one treasure of Chaos.

A Formation Diagram enveloped Mount Sumeru, and the four peerless immortal swords radiated terrifying Sha Qi. Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal wouldn't dare approach.

Hongjun's expression changed. He hadn't expected these four immortal swords to be so bizarre. Though only Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, they erupted with power no weaker than an Innate Supreme Treasure.

In the shadows, many powerhouses were already watching. Both Hongjun and Luohu possessed overwhelming Fortune. Whoever won would have the chance to rule the Primordial World.

"No wonder it's called the Primordial First Killing Formation." Li Xinghe was shocked. At this moment, Luohu was truly terrifyingly strong. Even he, without using a supreme treasure, had no confidence in breaking the formation.

"Is it really that powerful?" Qiankun and the Five Elements had also arrived nearby. Sensing that Li Xinghe was here, they naturally gathered together.

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

"Once the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is complete, it can only be broken by four powerhouses of equal strength to the formation's master. Otherwise, anyone trapped inside will be slowly worn down and die." Li Xinghe's face was grave.

He was warning Qiankun Demon God. If the Primordial World followed its original course, Hongjun would eventually invite him to join forces against Luohu.

And when that time came, Qiankun Demon God would perish, and Hongjun would claim the final victory.

"So Hongjun is doomed for sure?" the Five Elements Demon God said with schadenfreude.

In the River of Destiny, he had seen himself slain by Hongjun, and though Li Xinghe had altered his fate, he remained ever on guard against Hongjun.

If Hongjun were killed by Luohu, his own destiny would be completely changed, and he would no longer have to worry.

Li Xinghe shook his head. That old trickster Hongjun was merely testing the waters this time, with no real intention of killing Luohu in a single strike.

Once the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was set, Mount Sumeru was enveloped. Hongjun only probed the perimeter, unwilling to risk his own life.

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

The Four Swords of Zhu Xian were forged by Luohu himself, and he could unleash their full power.

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation was equivalent to a complete Innate Supreme Treasure, and even the Pangu Banner was far inferior at this point, for Hongjun had yet to fully refine the Innate Divine Restrictions on it.

"Luohu, you have slaughtered the primordial world and will surely face divine retribution. Once I have fully refined the Pangu Banner, your death will come," Hongjun said after a round of probing, then cautiously withdrew.

Luohu laughed heartily. The might of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation had brought his confidence to its peak.

"I, the Devil Ancestor Luohu, have set up the Zhu Xian Sword Formation on Mount Sumeru today. All heroes under heaven are welcome to break it." Luohu's voice spread to every corner of the primordial world.

"He's too arrogant. Why don't we call Yuan Feng and break the Zhu Xian Sword Formation?" the Qiankun Demon God said, unable to bear it any longer. This was clearly aimed at them, the former Top-level Demon Gods.

After the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, the most powerful native beings of the primordial world were only at the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage. Having them break the formation was a joke.

"See? You're in a hurry again." Li Xinghe shot him a glare, and the Qiankun Demon God immediately shrank back.

"As a proper old trickster, don't act rashly. If Hongjun isn't worried, why are you?"

Li Xinghe could naturally break the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, but he wouldn't do Hongjun's work for him.

Moreover, he knew that Hongjun hadn't gone all out. According to Hongjun's cultivation system in later ages, he should now be at the mid Quasi-Saint stage.

That meant he had already Slain at least one Corpse. Perhaps once he succeeded in Slaying Three Corpses, combined with his true body, he would be fully capable of breaking the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.
