Great Tribulation Erupts, Clearing Out Fierce Beasts

The scorching sun hung high, its rays illuminating the Innate Wutong tree.

Branches and leaves swayed, casting dappled shadows upon the ground.

A gentle breeze wafted through, and atop the canopy sat a figure – it was Lu Ya.

Bathed in sunlight, Lu Ya was cultivating the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Method.

This technique was created by Yuan Feng, based on her own innate Divine Abilities. It was profound, obscure, and incredibly deep.

Even with Yuan Feng's personal explanations, Lu Ya hadn't been able to fully comprehend it.

Based on what Lu Ya had grasped so far, he could at best achieve minor completion of the Nirvana Method; major completion was out of the question for now.

As he cultivated, Innate Flames danced around him.

Innate Five Elements Qi emerged from his internal organs, condensing into a Five-Colored Canopy.

His Mud Pill Palace emitted a dazzling golden light, within which appeared a clear, water-like Auspicious Cloud, about the size of a small field.

Above his head, the Auspicious Cloud supported Three Flowers.

These Three Flowers were the convergence of Lu Ya's Essence, Qi, and Spirit. One was red, one was golden-red, and one was golden.

As the Three Flowers gathered at his crown, a vast amount of Innate Qi cascaded down.

Suddenly, the Power of Law manifested upon Lu Ya.

Furthermore, a surge of Great Magic Power erupted.

This was Grand Unity level Magic Power, capable of shaking Archaic Stars and making the four seas tremble.

Before long, the phantom of a Three-legged Golden Crow appeared behind Lu Ya.

However, distorted by the sunlight, the Golden Crow phantom was extremely blurry.

Even those at the Grand Unity level couldn't see it clearly.

From a distance, Yuan Feng's delicate brows furrowed, her eyes fixed on Lu Ya.

More precisely, Yuan Feng was gazing at the phantom behind Lu Ya.

It was normal for some anomalies to occur when cultivating the Nirvana Method.

For a first-time cultivation of the Nirvana Method, it was unlikely to be without any unusual phenomena.

Yuan Feng wasn't surprised that Lu Ya could cultivate the Nirvana Method.

There was no need to elaborate on Lu Ya's cultivation; how could he not be at the Grand Unity level?

And since Lu Ya could perform the "Planting Golden Lotuses in Fire" technique, was it even possible that he hadn't grasped the Law of Fire?

As for Lu Ya's Dao Cultivation, it should also be quite high.

Having debated the Dao with Lu Ya numerous times, Yuan Feng had also gained considerable insights.

At this moment, another phantom appeared behind Lu Ya.

Both phantoms were blurry.

This was caused by the distortion of the sunlight.

This anomaly, however, was rarely seen.

Following this, more and more phantoms appeared behind Lu Ya.

As time passed, the number of phantoms behind Lu Ya increased.

It seemed as though they could increase indefinitely.

Before long, Lu Ya had densely packed phantoms behind him, numbering at least tens of thousands.

Judging by the trend, it wouldn't be long before they surpassed one hundred thousand.

Upon closer inspection, these phantoms behind Lu Ya varied in form.

However, from some of the phantoms, one could discern that they were a type of flying creature.

With wings spread, they seemed poised to soar upwards into the clouds.

Looking down, they surveyed all things, dominating and controlling everything.

The anomaly triggered by Lu Ya's cultivation of the Nirvana Method caused Yuan Feng's Dao heart to ripple.

"Fellow Daoist Lu Ya's origins are also among the Feathered Insects, and he appears somewhat similar to the Crow Clan," Yuan Feng mused inwardly.

Grand Unity level Magic Power was vast, possessing the ability to penetrate the heavens and earth, allowing one to peruse all matters of the Cosmos, recognize all things within the Cosmos, and broadly comprehend all the types of beings in the Cosmos.

Within the Cosmos, there were the Five Insects: Wingless, Scaled, Hairy, Feathered, and Chitinous.

Wingless Insects referred to creatures without shells and with sparse or no body hair, such as frogs. The Human Race was the lord of the Wingless Insects.

Scaled Insects referred to creatures whose bodies were covered in scales, primarily aquatic beings, but also terrestrial reptiles like lizards. Dragons were the lords of the Scaled Insects.

Hairy Insects referred to beasts covered in fur, such as tigers, lions, and elk. Kirin were the lords of the Hairy Insects.

Feathered Insects referred to creatures covered in feathers. Phoenixes were the lords of the Feathered Insects.

Chitinous Insects referred to those with shells, such as shellfish, crabs, and shrimp. The Spiritual Turtle was the lord of the Chitinous Insects.

It is said that the Innate Human Race was formed from the 'parasites' on Pangu, so calling them the Lord of Wingless Insects is fitting.

Of course, there is still debate about the status of the Lord of the Five Insects.

At least for now, most Feathered Insects acknowledge the Phoenix as the Lord of Feathered Insects.

As for the Golden Crow, how many people in the Primordial Era even know of them now?

Without any fame, they naturally cannot gain recognition.

"Heaven sees as my people see, Heaven hears as my people hear." Although this is only a partial aspect of the Heavenly Dao, it is related to the Heavenly Dao's operation.

Therefore, when most Feathered Insects acknowledge the Phoenix as the Lord of Feathered Insects, Destiny will be with the Phoenix.

From this perspective, the struggle among the Myriad Races of the Primordial Era is not just about resources or Destiny, but also about Destiny itself.

With the blessing of Destiny, one gains the favor of the Heavenly Dao.

As for the favor and rejection of the Heavenly Dao, that is 'following or going against' it. As the saying goes, "Those who follow Heaven have ease, those who go against Heaven labor."

The Lord of Feathered Insects is only a part of Destiny within the Cosmos.

A higher level is all of Destiny within the Cosmos.

Then there is the Destiny that transcends all things in the Cosmos, which can be called the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth.

Currently, most Feathered Insects in the Primordial Era acknowledge the Phoenix Clan, but the Phoenix Clan has not yet obtained Destiny.

Without the blessing of Destiny, even though the Phoenix Clan claims to be the Lord of Flying Birds, they are not 'truly worthy of the name.'

Yuan Feng glimpsed the heavenly secrets, and for the Phoenix Clan to obtain Destiny, they must annihilate Fierce Beasts.

The existence of Fierce Beasts not only hinders the Phoenix Clan but also hinders other races.

It can be said that Fierce Beasts are the biggest stumbling block for the Myriad Races of the Primordial Era.

The Phoenix Cave is a world unto itself, with the power of the sun, moon, and stars connecting to the outside world, but its operational speed is much faster.

Therefore, seventeen days in the Phoenix Cave is equivalent to one day in the outside world.

Lu Ya spent half a month in the Phoenix Cave, but less than a day had passed in the outside world.

After cultivating the Nirvana Method for half a month, countless blurred illusory figures appeared behind Lu Ya.

On this day, Lu Ya stopped cultivating.

Calamity Qi had been brewing for a long time, and it erupted today.

When the Great Tribulation erupts, it is one Calamity.

And this Calamity targets Fierce Beasts.

Under the Calamity, Fierce Beasts have nowhere to hide in the Primordial Era.

If they cannot overcome the tribulation, the era of Fierce Beasts will come to an end.

Whether it is the main world of the Primordial Era or the countless lower worlds within the main world, all are under the Calamity.

The countless beings scattered throughout the Primordial Era were filled with unease.

Some powerful individuals used their divine eyes to observe heaven and earth, seeing the Calamity Qi enveloping everything.

Yuan Feng emerged from the Phoenix Cave, her eyes looking outside the Immortal Volcano.

In her sight, black clouds covered the sky and blotted out the sun, and blood-red lightning snaked through the air like dragons and snakes.

It was like a precursor to the destruction of the Primordial Era.

When she retracted her divine eyes, it was once again sunny and clear, with clouds gathering and dispersing, and the years were peaceful and beautiful.

"It's time to clear out the Fierce Beasts," Lu Ya said calmly as he came to Yuan Feng's side.

"Destiny should be with my clan," Yuan Feng said with a calm tone, but her heart was not calm.

She had waited a long time for this day.

It's a pity that the Phoenix Clan does not have enough Grand Unity level experts yet.

There are quite a few in the Phoenix Clan who have proven the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

Besides the Vermillion Bird, there are several others who are only one step away from achieving Grand Unity.

If the Phoenix Clan were given a few more Epochs, they would definitely have more Grand Unity experts.

This is even with the Phoenix Clan not having obtained Destiny.

If they obtained Destiny, it would be much easier for the Phoenix Clan's Grand Unity level experts to achieve Grand Unity.

Destiny has too great an impact on a race.

Therefore, powerful races must contend for Destiny.

Yuan Feng is determined to obtain the Destiny of 'Lord of Feathered Insects.'

As for the Destiny of 'Lord of the Heavens,' it is estimated that it will have to wait for the next Calamity.

Protagonist of Heaven and Earth? Let's talk about that in the next Calamity!

On the seabed of the East Sea, tens of thousands of True Dragons were gathered.

A burly figure with a dragon head and human body was Ancestor Dragon.

Thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls shone brilliantly behind Ancestor Dragon.

"The time for my Dragon Race to rise has come." Ancestor Dragon's face was filled with excitement; he had waited for this day for too long.

Under this Calamity targeting Fierce Beasts, the Dragon Race was determined to contend for Destiny.

With the Dragon Race's strength, Destiny, and foundation... what right did other Scaled Insect races have to compete with the Dragon Race?

As for overpowering Feathered Insects and Hairy Insects, Ancestor Dragon certainly wanted to, but he also knew it wasn't realistic yet.

First, neither the Phoenix Clan nor the Kirin Clan could be underestimated.

There were also Fierce Beasts in the sea, but they were few.

Ancestor Dragon planned to first exterminate the Fierce Beasts in the Four Seas, and then exterminate the Fierce Beasts on land.

Buzhou Mountain, this is the Heavenly Pillar, transformed from Pangu's spine.

First Kirin stood at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
