Great Contention Era

He had passed... Fang Xun let out a sigh of relief, though he also felt somewhat ashamed.

Hong Yi's identity as a Chaos Demon God was already an established fact, yet Fang Xun still felt as though he had deceived his Teacher.

"Make yourself at home, Dao Friend. Xuansu, come with me," Nuwa said.

"..." Hong Yi and Fang Xun exchanged a glance. Hong Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, a teasing smile appearing on his face, while Fang Xun looked utterly wilted.

Within a newly created Dimensional Space.

"Ah! Teacher, stop hitting me! You're going to beat me to death!"

Fang Xun panicked. Being struck by the Merit Supreme Treasure Gourd Vine was no joke. One careless blow could send even a Taiyi Golden Immortal's soul flying away!

"Don't worry. I'll make sure it hurts without letting you die."

This time, Nuwa had truly resolved to teach Fang Xun a lesson. She directly created a Dimensional Space, leaving him nowhere to run.

"You dared provoke a Chaos Demon God. Do you have any idea how dangerous they are?"

I really don't know! They were even egging me on to watch the live broadcast!

He was already several thousand Yuan Hui old—at the very least seven hundred million years old. It was truly rare to see someone of such an age still getting beaten by an elder!

"That was a Demon God who escaped Great God Pangu with his life! With a casual move, they could erase you!"

No, he's really a counterfeit now. Great God Pangu's axe showed mercy too—he didn't actually chop him to death!

"..."

Who knew how long passed before the Dimensional Space finally quieted down. Fang Xun was sucking in breaths from the pain, but looking at the items before him, he could only say that it had been worth it. He could endure a few more rounds of this!

They were all famous top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures of the Primordial Wilderness: the Qiankun Cauldron, the Mountain River Society Diagram, and the Five Elements Spirit Pearls!

Defense, trapping enemies, comprehending the Dao—together with the Pure Yang Immortal Sword in Fang Xun's possession, he now had both offense and defense covered. In terms of wealth, he had already surpassed the overwhelming majority of Great Luo Supremes!

Even the two in the west would not be wealthier than him after becoming Saints!

There were quite a few Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Primordial Wilderness, but how many top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures could there possibly be?

More importantly, Nuwa had drawn away a wisp of Fang Xun's aura and planned to refine it into the Heavenly Dao Myriad Phenomena Auspicious Cloud. This meant that Fang Xun could draw upon this Heavenly Dao privilege at any time in the future!

Fang Xun reached out and grabbed, as though pulling out an illusory strand of cloud mist. At that moment, he even felt omnipotent!

"The Heavenly Dao Myriad Phenomena Auspicious Cloud is something that has never appeared before."

"Could this let me fight a Da Luo? Stop!" Fang Xun hurriedly cut off that train of thought.

The story of the "Investiture of the Gods" seemed far too absurd in the current Primordial Wilderness. In this Primordial Wilderness, it was absolutely impossible for a Taiyi Golden Immortal wielding an Innate Spiritual Treasure to defeat a Great Luo Supreme!

Only a Da Luo could contend against a Da Luo!

Fang Xun suppressed his restless heart and began preliminary refinement of the Spiritual Treasures in his hands. Their essences were simply too powerful for him to refine them completely, but making use of them was not difficult.

"With the Soldier Character Secret in battle, things will be even more reliable!"

Nuwa returned to the Chaos to enter seclusion. Since she had returned from the Purple Cloud Palace, it meant that the other Great Luo Supremes had also returned to the Primordial Wilderness, and the one in the Purple Cloud Palace was close to taking that final step as well.

On this day, the Primordial Wilderness trembled for no apparent reason. Every living being in the Primordial Wilderness felt it and raised their heads toward the sky.

"Unite!"

In that instant, it was as though a voice resounded in the ears of every living being.

Boom!

A vast aura swept across the Primordial Wilderness. Every being looking toward the heavens saw a towering figure continuously rising, before ultimately vanishing into the unknowable.

Fang Xun silently sensed the movements of the world's Great Dao and suddenly felt that heaven and earth had become more complete.

At that very moment, an inexplicable force acted upon primordial spirits, destiny, and time itself, creating an illusory sense of restraint.

"So this is the form of completion when the Heavenly Dao becomes complete?" Hong Yi sensed the subtle changes in the Heavenly Dao, his expression thoughtful.

The future of the Primordial Wilderness had almost become fixed at that instant. Even Great Luo Supremes had remarkably little room left to maneuver.

"The Great Contention Era has arrived." A strangely familiar feeling surged into Hong Yi's heart as he reached his conclusion.

In order to achieve The Other Shore, he had also experienced the most violent upheavals of an era. He still remembered that aura of war flames stretching across the heavens.

"The possibilities of the future are dwindling. Even exalted Da Luos must fight for that single thread of opportunity!"

"The conflict between the Witch and Demon Races can no longer be contained. Before long, some will come looking to cause trouble for the Human Race," Hong Yi reminded Fang Xun. Fang Xun nodded gravely.

The facts proved that Hong Yi's prediction had not been wrong. Only a few years after the Dao Ancestor achieved Dao Integration, Fang Xun sensed that the gazes spying upon the Human Race had multiplied severalfold!

Among them were quite a few fierce and malicious gazes.

To certain immortals and Fierce Beasts proficient in the Way of Creation, the Human Race—especially the First Generation Humans—were the finest "resources."

This was because their bodies contained the Creation Pure Light left behind by Empress Nuwa. Even Taiyi Golden Immortals regarded that as a priceless treasure they could only dream of obtaining.

"Someone truly dares be so audacious?" Fang Xun's brows rose sharply, his gaze turning cold. He still did not know about certain events that had occurred within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Nuwa, once the strongest Da Luo beneath the Dao Ancestor, had not become the Dao Ancestor's disciple. She had not even slain her corpse to become a Quasi-Saint, yet she had obtained the greatest number of top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures...

Fang Xun took a step, shifting through space to reach his enemy's location, then thrust out two fingers like a sword.

A streak of Immortal Light burst forth. Mountains and rivers lost their color, sun and moon dimmed, and it became the only thing between heaven and earth!

No matter how extraordinary a Taiyi Golden Immortal was, every gesture contained the power to shatter space and recreate Chaos!

This time, Fang Xun did not use the Invoke Deity technique. He relied entirely on the power of his Three Thousand Dao Fruits.

That streak of Immortal Light consisted of a full three thousand strands of Dao Rhyme, governed by the Misty Clear Light formed from the Way of Creation, displaying supreme offensive might.

Could the true body of the "Myriad Heavens Dao Tree," which Fang Xun had nurtured for a full nine thousand Yuan Hui, possibly be compared to an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal?

The Immortal Light flared brilliantly in an instant, shattering the stable space of the Primordial Wilderness in a blink. Its terrifying power pulverized everything visible to the naked eye.

"Roar!" A terrifying roar came from the depths of the void. The body of a Giant Beast capable of suppressing the Abyss Prison and roaring stars from the sky abruptly expanded until it filled the vast azure expanse.

This Giant Beast resembled an ox, with four horns and exceptionally long fur draped over its body.

The instant it appeared, the Giant Beast went all out. The four horns atop its head burst with four lights of different colors, actually fixing Earth Water Fire Wind in place, along with the collapsing void.

"Demon Race?" Fang Xun had intended to observe it through a Taiyi Golden Immortal's future vision, but he encountered invisible resistance.

That was the fortune of the Demon Race!

The Demon Race was currently recruiting all manner of beings from the Primordial Wilderness on a massive scale. It did not seem impossible for them to have taken in such a Fierce Beast.

This Giant Beast was not weak even among Taiyi Golden Immortals. Those four long horns that fixed Earth Water Fire Wind in place were unfathomably profound.

"But you're about to become chicken." Fang Xun withdrew his gaze. The Immortal Light in his hand suddenly transformed, the Three Thousand Great Daos dividing into Yin and Yang before reforming into a strand of Misty Clear Light.

Myriad Dao Creation Divine Light!

This was a divine ability Fang Xun had adapted from his Teacher Nuwa's Yin Yang Creation Divine Light, one that belonged exclusively to him.
