Watching the mushroom cloud rise in the distance, Qing Xuan subconsciously swallowed.

"Could Luohu and Hongjun have started fighting?"

"Should I go take a look?"

"Mm, I'll just watch from the edge and be ready to run at any time."

The more Qing Xuan thought about it, the more he felt he should go join the excitement. It was simply human nature—impossible to avoid.

Meanwhile, on Hongjun's side, the four of them watched the rising mushroom cloud expressionlessly. With a wave of Hongjun's hand, fierce winds sprang up and dispersed the smoke.

First Kirin lay on the ground, the kirin horn atop his head broken, his body riddled with bleeding holes. If not for the faint rise and fall of his abdomen, they would have thought him dead.

The Twelve Demon Generals had not fared well either. All seven Grand Unity Golden Immortal demon generals had died. Of the five Quasi-Saints, four remained alive. The one who had died was the one who, at the final moment, had gathered the strength of all Twelve Demon Generals into himself to withstand Hongjun and the others' attacks. He had been reduced to ashes, leaving not even a body behind.

"They're actually this powerful."

Terror filled Boshun's eyes. Clutching his wounds, he looked at the four people in the air, then gritted his teeth.

"Attack together, or we'll all die!"

Hearing their leader Boshun's words, the other three rose to their feet and charged toward Hongjun and the others.

Seeing this, Boshun flashed away and fled in the opposite direction.

"Brothers, go on ahead! I'm going to find help!"

"Hmph, do you think you can escape?"

Watching Boshun flee, Yang Mei activated Space Law and gave chase.

Seeing this, the other three had no choice but to face the three charging demon generals. In less than two seconds, they had dealt with all three.

"Yang Mei is still as impulsive as ever. What if there's an ambush? Wouldn't rushing over be walking right into it?"

Zaohua said helplessly. After cultivating for several Eons, Yang Mei still could not fit in with them.

"Hahaha, Daoist Yang Mei is brave in battle, straightforward by nature, and warm toward others. That's precisely why he can be our friend."

Ancestor Qian Kun laughed heartily. There were many schemers in the Primordial Wilderness, but few straightforward people. That was why everyone wanted a friend like Yang Mei.

"Hehehe~" Hongjun merely smiled without speaking when a weak voice suddenly rang out.

"Today, my Kirin Tribe has suffered this calamity. I, First Kirin, make this great vow to the Heavenly Dao: after my death, my body shall merge with the earth. The Kirin Tribe shall remain forever upon Kirin Cliff, and whenever a kirin appears in the world, it shall surely be an auspicious omen!"

First Kirin raised his head as he spoke. When he finished, his head fell to the ground, and he died. His corpse then merged into the earth and vanished.

Buzz!

Heaven and earth rumbled as the Heavenly Dao bestowed countless Merits, scattering them across the land. All the remaining kirin in the Primordial World roared in mourning for First Kirin, then ran toward Kunlun Mountain. From that day onward, the Kirin Tribe withdrew from its position as one of the Primordial World's overlords.

"Fuck, this isn't how the script goes!"

Watching this scene, Qing Xuan thought that, logically speaking, the leaders of the Three Clans should have made their vows together. First Kirin should have died only after being torn apart.

So why was First Kirin the only one making a vow now, while Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng simply watched from the side?

"Could it... be because of me?" Qing Xuan suddenly recalled the butterfly effect from his previous life.

"But that was science. What I cultivate now is mysticism!"

Qing Xuan felt like his brain was not enough. Could it be that Earth in his previous life had cultivated another kind of Great Dao? He tapped his head, then stopped thinking about it. He could not make sense of it anyway.

Hongjun watched as the battle paused for First Kirin's vow, and a thought stirred in his heart.

"Fellow Daoists Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng, the current state of the Three Clans is all because of one person. Would you hear me out?"

"What the fuck does it have to do with you?"

"Shut up! You stupid dragon!"

"Please speak, Daoist Hongjun."

Yuan Feng glared at Ancestral Dragon before asking Hongjun. She had long known that something about this was wrong.

Hongjun then told Yuan Feng and Ancestral Dragon about Luohu and Luohu's scheme. Naturally, he did not say much regarding the Heavenly Dao.

"Bastard! How dare he deceive dragons like this? Where is Luohu now? My Dragon Clan will certainly kill him!"

After hearing this, Ancestral Dragon immediately flew into a rage. In the Primordial Wilderness, only the Dragon Clan had ever bullied others.

Yuan Feng's gaze turned cold. Killing intent surged around her as she flew into the air, clearly waiting for Hongjun to speak.

Just as Hongjun was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.

"Hehehehe, I'm here. Let's see how you, you little mudfish, plan to kill me."

Luohu suddenly appeared in the sky, smiling broadly at the others. Demonic qi soared around him, and before long, it spread between heaven and earth.

"Fuck, do villains really laugh like that?" Seeing Luohu's arrogant appearance, Qing Xuan was so shocked that his thoughts began to wander.

"Hehehe, you three, this is a struggle over the Dao between Hongjun and me. Why are you joining in?"

Luohu spoke to Yang Mei and the other two.

"Luohu, you cultivate the Demon Path. If you succeed, do you think the three of us can survive?"

"Hmph, Luohu, we've known each other for a long time. Do you think we don't know what kind of person you are?"

"Enough, Luohu. Since you've come, prepare to die."

The three stood beside Hongjun and spoke in turn.

"Whoa, so these are the helpers Hongjun found. Not bad. Red, yellow, blue, and green—the Primordial Wilderness F4!"

Roar!

"Luohu, you dared to kill members of my Phoenix Clan. Die!"

Yuan Feng could no longer hold herself back. They had been babbling on and on for ages, but in the end, they still had to fight. She fired a Southern Bright Lihuo Flame divine ability at Luohu.

"Fellow Daoists, help me eliminate demons and defend the Dao!"

Seeing this, Hongjun shouted.

The four of them, together with Ancestral Dragon, attacked at once. Luohu was unafraid. A pitch-black spear appeared in his hand, and with a casual strike, he knocked aside Yuan Feng's attack before charging toward them.

Strange black demonic flames coiled around Luohu, while bloodthirsty light flickered in his eyes. His demonic qi surged like a raging black tide, sweeping toward Hongjun and the others with overwhelming force.

Hongjun lightly raised both hands. A jade butterfly floated above his head, radiating a gentle yet profound light imbued with Dao intent.

"Creation Jade Butterfly!" Luohu recognized the treasure. It was a Chaos Supreme Treasure containing the Three Thousand Great Daos, incomparably powerful.

"Hahaha, Luohu, return to the heavens!"

Yang Mei gripped that willow branch Spiritual Treasure. As the branch swayed gently, space twisted strangely as though manipulated by a giant hand. Yang Mei laughed loudly as he moved through space.

Qian Kun and Zaohua refused to be outdone. The Qian Kun Cauldron and Creation Cauldron hovered above their heads to protect them, then they unleashed divine abilities containing the laws of Zaohua and Qian Kun.

With a dragon's roar, Ancestral Dragon's sharp claws tore through space and grabbed at Luohu. Yuan Feng, meanwhile, burned with Southern Bright Lihuo Flame and swept toward Luohu with the power to incinerate heaven and earth.

"Fuck, this is intense!" Qing Xuan retreated a little farther. Watching this group's great battle, the pride he had felt after breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm instantly vanished.

Among these people, even Ancestral Dragon and Yuan Feng, the weakest in cultivation, could slap him to death with ease.

I still need to cultivate properly! Qing Xuan silently made up his mind. After watching this spectacle, he would return to the Three Immortal Islands for Closed-door Cultivation.

"Hehehehe, Hongjun, take this spear!!!"

Luohu shouted as a black spear phantom containing demonic qi and baleful qi shot toward Hongjun. Hongjun held the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, and the clear light around him flowed into it before he swung it downward.

Ha!
