Beast Emperor Shen Ni Falls, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou Battles Hongjun!

With a thought, Taichu brought the Kui Ox and appeared within Taichu Palace!

Releasing the Kui Ox, Taichu said, "Now that you are the Hall Master of the Guardian Hall of my Dao Protection Sect, your cultivation realm naturally cannot be lacking!"

With that, he pointed a finger, and the "Chaos Scripture" and the "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Origin Skill" appeared in the Kui Ox's mind!

Then, with another point of his finger, a million mu of Great Dao Merit flew toward the Kui Ox!

The Kui Ox was stunned by this series of grand gestures and hurriedly said, "This old ox thanks Sect Leader for the grace of remaking me!"

Taichu said, "Cultivate diligently." With a casual wave, the Kui Ox was already inside the Chaos Pearl!

Meanwhile, Hongjun Ancestor and Universe Ancestor made their way to the Northernmost Land of the Primordial Wilderness!

Along the way, they saw dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and ferocious beasts locked in endless slaughter!

Hongjun sighed softly and said, "It seems the Three Innate Races have also come to contend for the Heavenly Dao's fortune!"

Universe Ancestor said, "All three races harbor ambitions of dominating the Primordial Wilderness, so naturally they will not relinquish the Heavenly Dao's fortune!"

After hearing this, Hongjun said indifferently, "Hmph, they are nothing but a pack of mongrel beasts!"

Fearing that he might anger Hongjun, Universe Ancestor said no more!

As the two wandered along, they arrived at the ferocious beasts' lair!

At this time, Yin Yang Old Ancestor and Limitless Old Ancestor had already been waiting for a long while!

Upon seeing the two arrive, they hurried forward!

"Hongjun Ancestor, it has been a long time!" Yin Yang Old Ancestor said!

"I never expected Yin Yang Daoist Friend and Limitless Daoist Friend to be here as well!" Hongjun said!

Universe Ancestor said, "Before coming, I contacted the two Daoist Friends. The ferocious beasts' lair is fraught with danger—one more helper means one more source of strength!"

After hearing this, Hongjun said, "Time is of the essence. Let's move!"

With that, the Pangu Banner emerged at his command, waves of ghostly radiance striking the great formation around the ferocious beasts' lair!

At this moment, Beast Emperor Shen Ni had yet to recover from his severe injuries!

Yet with his enemies already at his doorstep, how could an emperor possibly flee!

He immediately led the Four Ferocious Beasts to charge at Hongjun Ancestor. With an enraged roar from Shen Ni, a towering aura erupted forth, its might actually evenly matched with the power of the Pangu Banner.

Hongjun was greatly shocked at the sight!

I am at Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection. How could Shen Ni block me so easily? Besides, he is injured, and his realm is lower than mine!

After pondering back and forth, he instantly understood!

So that's it. Shen Ni is borrowing the enhancement of the ferocious beasts' nest!

Hongjun then fought as he retreated, withdrawing all the way until he was ten million li from the ferocious beasts' lair!

Only then did Shen Ni realize why Hongjun had acted that way, but when he tried to leave, it was already too late!

The Pangu Banner's ghostly radiance surged, sealing off Shen Ni's retreat!

Before the peerless old schemer Hongjun, Shen Ni was still far too green!

The other Four Ferocious Beasts also unleashed their divine abilities and sped toward Shen Ni. For a time, heaven and earth changed color, while wind and clouds churned violently.

Yin Yang Old Ancestor and Universe Ancestor also unleashed their ultimate techniques, assisting Hongjun in fending off the ferocious beasts' attacks.

The battle entered its fever pitch, neither side yielding an inch.

This battle shook heaven and earth, and experts from the three races gradually joined the battlefield as well!

Ten thousand years later!

Shen Ni and the Four Ferocious Beasts gradually found themselves unable to hold on, driven into a dead end by Hongjun, Yin Yang, and Universe!

Universe Ancestor shouted, "Shen Ni, never thought you would see this day, did you!"

Covered in blood, Shen Ni laughed wildly. "So what? Even if this emperor dies in battle, I will drag all of you down to the grave with me!"

Just then, a cloud of black mist suddenly descended, instantly freezing everyone on the battlefield in place.

A man wreathed from head to toe in black mist slowly approached, emanating an incomparably powerful aura!

Who else could it be but Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!

"Ha ha ha ha! Splendid, splendid! This Demon Ancestor has watched for ten thousand years. My hands have grown a little itchy, so I came to join the fun!"

Seeing Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's arrival, Hongjun's expression darkened!

He could sense Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's strength!

Then, seeing the Four Great Demon Kings and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Thirteen Envoys behind Luo Hou, Hongjun said, "So it is the Demon Ancestor who has descended!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou laughed loudly. "Hongjun, are you saying this Demon Ancestor is unwelcome?"

Hongjun said, "Daoist Friend jests. Ferocious beasts wreak havoc upon the Primordial Wilderness; every cultivator has the right to slay them. This old Daoist naturally welcomes you!"

But just then, Shen Ni burst into wild laughter. He laughed madly and said, "Slay this emperor? You think you are worthy? Under heaven, other than this emperor himself, no one can kill me!"

With that, he detonated himself without the slightest hesitation!

The instant Shen Ni self-destructed!

Black mist rose on all sides, and everyone was enveloped by the black fog of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!

By the time everyone circulated their mana and dispersed the black mist, the God-Slaying Spear had already appeared in Luo Hou's hand!

As for the Four Ferocious Beasts, they had vanished without a trace!

With Shen Ni's self-destruction and the disappearance of the Four Ferocious Beasts, endless merit descended from the Heavenly Dao above the Nine Heavens!

Three portions went to Hongjun Ancestor, two portions went to the three ancestors—Universe, Limitless, and Yin Yang—and one portion went to Luo Hou!

Another portion went to the Three Innate Races, while one portion fell upon the Primordial Continent!

Because of the Heavenly Dao Merit, many innate great deities of the Primordial Continent also hastened their transformation!

Thus, the Ferocious Beast Calamity came to an end, and the Dao-Devil Conflict began!

Just as everyone was bathing in Heavenly Dao Merit, a burst of wild laughter rang out!

"Ha ha ha ha! Good, God-Slaying Spear, oh God-Slaying Spear—you have finally returned to the hands of this Demon Ancestor!"

"Luo Hou!"

Seeing this, everyone roared in fury!

Luo Hou looked at them and said disdainfully, "What, if you don't like the sight of this Demon Ancestor, then come at me!"

As he spoke, he put away the God-Slaying Spear. With a sweep of his hand, the God Slaying Spear had already appeared in his grasp!

"Luo Hou, you've plucked peaches right over this ancestor's head!"

"Hongjun was utterly stifled. Every time a supreme treasure appeared, someone else plucked the peaches first. Who could swallow that grievance!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou glanced at Hongjun and said, "I have yet to experience your brilliant moves."

The moment his words fell, the God Slaying Spear shot forth, a cold gleam stabbing toward Hongjun!

The Taiji Diagram emerged, blocking Luo Hou's strike. Then the Pangu Banner struck out in an instant, wave after wave of ghostly light seizing the soul!

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou laughed loudly. "Hongjun boy, the Pangu Banner won't work on me!"

With that, he thrust his spear again!

The God Slaying Spear specialized in injuring one's Primordial Spirit. For a time, the other ancestors could neither fight nor retreat!

Seeing this, Luo Hou said, "This is a matter between Hongjun and me. It has nothing to do with you. If you do not wish to become enemies with this ancestor, leave at once!"

At those words, Yin Yang Old Ancestor immediately transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the horizon!

Universe Ancestor, however, stood together with Hongjun. After all, Hongjun had saved Universe Ancestor's life!

Universe Ancestor said, "Limitless Old Ancestor, we have also received Hongjun Ancestor's favor. Today, why not advance and retreat together!"

Upon hearing this, Limitless Old Ancestor immediately joined Universe Ancestor in facing the Four Great Demon Kings brought by Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!

For a time, Demonic Qi surged into the heavens, blanketing the entire North Pole Land!

Wuxin, Wuxiang, Wufa, and Wutian—the Four Great Demon Generals—had already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage!

Wuxin and Wuxiang fought Universe Ancestor, while Wufa and Wutian fought Limitless Old Ancestor. For a time, they were evenly matched, neither side able to gain the upper hand!

"Hongjun, this Demon Ancestor has underestimated you!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou shouted as he battled Hongjun!

Both were at Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection. Luo Hou believed that he had absolutely no rival within the same realm!

Yet against Hongjun, he could not gain the slightest advantage!

Hongjun sneered. "Today, I will let you witness this ancestor's might!"

As he spoke, the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus immediately appeared beneath his feet!
