The Great Tribulation Begins

One eon passed. Years flew like a shuttle, and the Destiny Demon God, Earth Demon God, and Five Elements Demon God recovered to the Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity.

The Destiny Demon God said solemnly, "My two demon friends, the prophecy of the Law of Destiny tells me that the Three Emperors are preparing to deliver us a fatal blow. Though we do not know what methods they possess, we now have the strength to fight. We cannot sit and wait for death—we must strike first."

After giving it some thought, the Five Elements Demon God and Earth Demon God agreed. "Hunt down Grand Unity experts and let the gods of the Primordial World know our power! Heh heh heh!"

The Destiny Demon God wore a sinister expression. "Those Grand Unity experts under the Three Emperors deserve to die. I refuse to believe the Three Emperors will not come out once I start collecting your people! Hahaha!"

The Five Elements Demon God said in a deep voice, "The Three Emperors' Grand Unity Heaven lies above the Nine Heavens of the Primordial World, where there are top Great Divine Powers. This time, we will first target the Da Luo Venerable Gods upon the primordial land."

The three Demon Gods began to move. The Destiny Demon God blocked the Three Emperors' perception of danger, and a great calamity descended upon the Primordial Beings.

By a twist of fate, they did not target the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor possessed the Law of Destiny and was the most sensitive to danger. Though the Three Emperors felt warnings in their hearts, their journey to Mount Zhou could not be abandoned halfway, lest all their previous efforts go to waste.

The main fragment of Hongjun's Jade Plate of Creation conveyed the relevant information to him. When the Heavenly Dao had manifested last time, the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Jade Plate of Creation, had received the augmentation of the Heavenly Dao's power of rules as the future sacred artifact of the Heavenly Dao. Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao had begun reaching certain agreements.

The cultivation of the three Demon Gods was unfathomably profound. The Heavenly Dao had yet to be born, and the Primordial World contained far too many loopholes. By the time Hongjun learned of the danger, it was already too late. A great battle was on the verge of erupting.

The Earth Divine Kingdom was a force established by the Earth Emperor to suppress the Sha Qi left within the Earth Veins after the Chaos Demon Gods had died.

Purifying the Sha Qi benefited heaven and earth, and brought Great Fortune upon oneself.

At the center of the primordial land, the Earth Demon God suddenly appeared and began a massacre. Weak living beings died without pain.

The Earth Demon God used the Law of Earth to detonate the Sha Qi within the primordial land and charged toward the Earthly Dao Divine Kingdom.

The Earth Emperor's Da Luo Venerable Gods, Zunlu Clan and Li Lu Clan, stepped forward.

Resentment soared to the heavens across the primordial land. All Grand Unity experts realized the urgency of the situation, and for a time, everyone feared for themselves!

Zunlu Clan and Li Lu Clan cultivated branches of the Law of Earth—the Law of Gravity and the Law of Attraction—and were simply no match for the Earth Demon God.

The Earth Demon God's gaze was like a collapsing abyss. Facing the Demon God directly, the minds of the two Grand Unity experts screamed constant warnings, while their souls trembled.

The two immediately unleashed the trump card left behind by Earth Emperor Yuejian: the power of a strike from the Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity. But the Demon God was too powerful.

The Earth Demon God roared, "Even ants dare resist me?"

"Demon God True Body!"

"Earth Surge Overturning!" The collision between the Earth Demon God's power of the Law of Earth and Earth Emperor Yuejian's strike shattered the surrounding space, leaving wounds upon the primordial land that could never heal.

Seeing that they could not overcome him by force, the two Da Luo Venerable Gods could only split up and flee.

Zunlu Clan shouted urgently, "Law of Gravity, Gravity Suppression!"

Li Lu Clan shouted fiercely, "Law of Attraction, Attraction Singularity!"

Under the Earth Demon God's pursuit, Li Lu Clan was captured. His Grand Unity Dao Fruit was sealed, leaving him in a state worse than death.

The instant the Earth Demon God breached the Earthly Dao Divine Kingdom, Sha Qi surged into the sky from the primordial land. Earth Emperor Yuejian abruptly broke through the Destiny Demon God's blockade and learned that the Earthly Dao Divine Kingdom had been destroyed. His fortune plummeted.

Yuejian's eyes turned bloodshot. "Earth Demon God, I will kill you! Aaah!"

At the same time, the Five Elements Demon God arrived at the Human Dao Hall of Heroes.

The Five Elements Demon God wore a vicious expression. "Jiutou Clan, let me turn all living beings into vengeful spirits to fulfill your Hall of Heroes. Heh heh heh!"

"Five Elements Demonic Dao Dharma Form!"

"Great Five Elements Destruction Magic Light!"

The power of the Five Elements origin reversed. The power of laws became incomparably violent, destroying everything.

Streams of Five Elements Destruction Magic Light shot toward the Human Emperor's territory. The Human Dao heroic spirits had no power to resist and were reduced to ashes in an instant.

The Human Emperor's Da Luo Venerable Gods, Xuxu Clan and Titing Clan, faced the Demon God and used the trump card Human Emperor Jiutou Clan had given them.

"Human Emperor Seal!" It struck toward the Five Elements Demon God, and the battle between the two sides became deadlocked.

The power of the laws of mutual generation among the Five Elements clashed with the power of the laws of mutual restraint among the Five Elements. Primordial space shattered without end, wind and thunder appeared together, and the Great Dao fell into disorder.

But the Human Emperor's true body was absent. The power of the laws had been completely exhausted, leaving them unable to withstand the Five Elements Demon God's attacks any longer.

Xuxu Clan controlled endless Geng Metal Qi, transforming it into hundreds of millions of divine weapons in an attempt to hold back the Five Elements Demon God.

Titing Clan used the Law of Wood. Countless divine trees rose from the earth and wrapped around the Five Elements Demon God. Titing Clan burned his origin, burned his Dao Fruit, burned everything.

Titing Clan said to Xuxu Clan, "Quickly, take the myriad spirits and leave! The Human Dao Hall of Heroes cannot escape today's calamity. Save however many living beings you can. Heroic spirits, charge out with me!"

Xuxu Clan looked upon it all, powerless to change anything. He used a storage technique, took a portion of the living beings away from the Human Emperor's territory, and fled toward the Nine Heavens.

Titing Clan completely perished as he burned his Dao. The Five Elements Demon God destroyed the Human Dao Hall of Heroes, achieved his goal, and continued wreaking havoc elsewhere.

Human Emperor Jiutou Clan also received the disastrous news, and his heart filled with fury. He and Earth Emperor Yuejian were the first to return to the primordial land.

The instant the Earth Demon God and Five Elements Demon God began their attacks, Goddess Taiyuan, who was closest, wanted to lend aid. But the Destiny Demon God stopped her, forcing her to watch as the earth shattered and the myriad spirits died.

Goddess Taiyuan shouted coldly, "Destiny Demon God, you are courting death! Move aside at once!"

The Destiny Demon God laughed. "And what if I refuse?"

"Taiyuan Dharma Manifestation!"

"Divine Ability: Heavenly Origin Strike!"

The power of the Taiyuan Law coiled around her body. Her Fist Wind tore through the heavens, exploding the clouds for a hundred li with a thunderous blast. A shockwave like the collapse of heaven struck toward the Destiny Demon God.

"Law of Destiny, arise!"

"Death is Taiyuan's ultimate destiny."

With the Investiture of the Gods empowering her, Goddess Taiyuan reached the Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven and barely managed to fight the Destiny Demon God to a standstill.

Yet Taiyuan's sixth sense was screaming warnings. The Law of Destiny coiled around her, while a world-shaking battle erupted near Mount Zhou.

Meanwhile, All Grand Unity Experts were still discussing countermeasures. Reinforcements would take time!

Hongjun shouted, "The three great Demon Gods have already appeared—where are the Three Emperors?!"

Old Ancestor Diandao immediately cursed, "Those three unreliable bastards are the sinners of the Prehistoric Universe!"

Old Ancestor Yin Yang frowned. "Three of the five great Demon Gods have appeared. The other two have yet to show themselves—we cannot let down our guard!"

The Grand Unity experts all spoke over one another, and the situation briefly spiraled out of control!

Everyone had their own private calculations, making it difficult to reach a unified plan. Most importantly, who could stand against a Demon God of the Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity?

The Five Divine Beasts Ancestral Dragon spoke up. "Everyone, we must protect our clans against the other two great Demon Gods. My apologies!"

Yuanfeng sighed. "A Demon God of the Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity... I am only at the Grand Unity Ninth Heaven. I cannot hold one off!"

Seeing that the Five Divine Beasts were going through the motions without truly committing themselves, Li Fan found himself helpless for the moment.

Li Fan walked to Goddess Wangshu's side. "Goddess, Taiyuan is fighting the Destiny Demon God. They are locked in an even battle, but I have had a bad feeling in my heart all along."

"Right now, we cannot tend to one end without neglecting the other. The Three Emperors are absent, and we will not be able to settle on anything anytime soon. We cannot worry about all that now. Goddess Wangshu, could you go protect Goddess Taiyuan first?"

Li Fan had known the moment the three great Demon Gods appeared, but his cultivation was still insufficient; he could not rush to the battlefield at once.

Wangshu looked puzzled. "With Taiyuan's combat strength at the Eleventh Heaven, she should not encounter any danger for the time being. Li Fan, aren't you being overly cautious?"

Li Fan's expression turned grave as he sent a divine-sense transmission into Wangshu's ear. "God Slaying Spear!!!"

Goddess Wangshu's heart jolted—the deadly nemesis of deities!
