Across the vast, boundless Northern Land, countless savage beasts ran rampant. These Ferocious Beasts were not only exceptionally fierce, but also extraordinarily cruel. They even brutally slaughtered weaker members of their own kind, using their flesh and blood to defile this sprawling land.

Their purpose was clearly to destroy the land and prevent the Primordial World from healing itself. Faced with such a terrifying situation, countless Innate Beings felt as though they were facing a formidable enemy, their hearts filled with fear and unease.

Yet these Innate Beings had no idea what the Ferocious Beasts intended to do. Their actions were simply too bizarre and brutal. But if they allowed these Ferocious Beasts to continue running wild, there might soon be no place left for them to survive in the Primordial World.

Thus, the Innate Beings began sending word throughout the world, spreading news of the Ferocious Beasts' deeds across the entire Primordial World. On one hand, they wished to make more beings aware of the situation. On the other, they hoped to find more allies to join them in resisting the terrifying Ferocious Beast Clan.

When the Innate Beings throughout the Primordial World received this news, every one of them was shocked and panicked. They knew full well that they could not allow the Ferocious Beast Clan to continue its wanton destruction, or the consequences would be unthinkable.

Thus, the Innate Beings united, setting aside their prejudices and disputes as they marched north together, determined to engage the dreadful Ferocious Beast Clan in a battle to the death.

At the distant border of the Northern Land, the Innate Beings swept in like a surging flood, vast and mighty. Their momentum was overwhelming, as though they would trample the very heavens and earth to pieces.

Yet the moment they reached the border, before they had even found their footing, a thick stench of blood struck them head-on, making every heart tremble. They stared at the scene before them in stunned disbelief. The earth had been dyed a horrifying red with blood, while severed limbs lay scattered everywhere, as though a brutal massacre had just taken place.

Upon that blood-soaked land, a group of savage Ferocious Beasts was madly slaughtering its own kind. Their roars were deafening, and the bloody, brutal sight made one's scalp go numb.

Confronted with this sudden, terrifying scene, the Innate Beings had no time to think. One after another, they unleashed their greatest techniques and launched into a fierce, earth-shaking battle against the Ferocious Beasts. Blades and sword lights crisscrossed, while battle cries rose and fell without end. The entire Northern Land shook beneath this immense power.

But these Ferocious Beasts were no ordinary foes. They refused to yield, counterattacking madly with astonishing speed and strength. Both sides exchanged blow after blow, neither willing to give ground, until the battle reached its fiercest point.

Yet strangely, despite the intensity of the battle, the Ferocious Beasts never crossed a single step beyond the Northern Territory. They seemed to hold this land in inexplicable reverence—or perhaps they were guarding some secret.

Second by second, the desperate struggle dragged on for an unknown length of time. Finally, at one moment, the Ferocious Beast army seemed to receive some sudden command and abruptly ceased its attacks. In perfect unison, they raised their heads and howled at the sky, their voices like crashing thunder that echoed through the heavens.

At that critical moment, heaven and earth suddenly seemed to tremble beneath an overwhelming force. A deep, majestic voice exploded like thunder: "I am Shen Ni. Inheriting the will and last wishes of the Chaos Gods and Demons, I seek to destroy the Primordial World opened by Pangu and restore the sight of Hundun. My Ferocious Beast Clan bears the duty of destroying the Primordial Land and unifying all beings of the Primordial Wilderness. Today, I establish the Ferocious Beast Dynasty here, to contend for supremacy in the Primordial Wilderness. With the God-Slaying Spear, I suppress the Fortune of the Ferocious Beasts. The Ferocious Beast Dynasty, arise!"

The voice was like an enormous bell, deafening as it reverberated throughout the entire Primordial World, making every Innate Being pale in horror. Only then did they realize that this battle was far more than they had imagined. It was a fight that concerned the life and death, survival and destruction, of the Primordial World itself.

Yet before the Innate Beings could recover from their shock, an earth-shaking roar suddenly erupted from the Ferocious Beast army ahead. Like a violent storm, it swept toward them, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. Then the Ferocious Beasts surged forward like a raging tide, fearlessly charging at the Innate Beings.

These Ferocious Beasts were as enormous as mountains, their vicious faces enough to give anyone nightmares, and the aura they emitted made hearts pound in terror. They moved as swiftly as lightning, sweeping in like a furious storm in the blink of an eye and bearing down upon the Innate Beings with mountain-like pressure. The Innate Beings could only fight as they retreated, like flickering candles in the wind, on the verge of collapse. After an unknown amount of time, the Ferocious Beast army finally halted its slaughtering charge, allowing the Innate Beings to breathe in relief.

Only then did they realize that the Ferocious Beast army had already burst out of the Northern Territory like floodwaters breaking through a dam, racing in every direction. They themselves had been scattered by the charge like fallen leaves swept up by a gale. Though they did everything they could, they could not seal off the entire northern border. Countless Ferocious Beasts poured from other points and spread toward every corner of the Primordial Wilderness.

The faces of the many Innate Beings present turned pale as paper, for most of them were powerful figures among the Innate Races. Though some had remained behind within their clans to guard their kin, they were still as helpless as mantises trying to stop a chariot before the endless Ferocious Beast army. Thus, they fled in panic toward their respective clans like startled birds. This Innate Alliance crumbled beneath the assault of the Ferocious Beast army.

Deep within the hundred thousand mountains of the north, the Ferocious Beast Lair stood like a dark castle. Shen Ni sat within it like a Demon God. He could clearly sense that wherever the Ferocious Beasts passed, it was like a locust plague—nothing remained alive. Countless Mountains and Rivers had been ravaged beyond recognition, as if they were wailing and weeping. The Fortune they carried surged toward Shen Ni like a torrent, while the resentment of gods and demons rising from the depths of the Ferocious Beast Lair also poured into his body like floodwaters from a burst dam, continuously enriching and strengthening his origin and cultivation.

Shen Ni's gaze burned as he stared across the entire Primordial Continent, as though he could see through it all. He raised his head toward Mount Zhou at the center of the Primordial Wilderness. Though an immeasurable distance lay between them, Shen Ni could see Mount Zhou with perfect clarity, as if it stood right before him. After a long silence, Shen Ni finally spoke. His voice, like a great bell, echoed through the silent lair: "Pangu! The enmity between you and us Chaos Gods and Demons is like the endless Abyss, never to end. Now that you have fallen, the Primordial World you created should also descend with you into endless darkness like the setting sun, destroyed completely. When Hundun returns, that shall be the day I attain the Great Dao!"
