The Primordial Violet Qi

"This is actually a World-Ending Lightning Tribulation! What has this Human Race done to incur such widespread resentment, to actually attract a World-Ending Lightning Tribulation?" Tongtian said in disbelief.

Western Spirit Mountain

"It's a World-Ending Lightning Tribulation! The Human Race below is surely doomed!" Zhunti said.

"Indeed. But wasn't the creation of writing a great merit to the Primordial Era? Why would the Heavenly Dao descend a World-Ending Lightning Tribulation?" Jieyin asked, puzzled.

"Who knows? As long as the East suffers, that's all that matters," Zhunti said nonchalantly.

It wasn't just them. Across the Primordial Era, Di Jun, Tai Yi, Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe, and many other Great Powers were also paying attention to the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation above the Human Race.

Three Immortal Island

Li Peng looked at the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation, his brow furrowed. "The power of this tribulation is incredibly strong. Without the strength of a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, one cannot possibly resist it. It seems I will have to act personally this time."

After speaking, Li Peng stood up, preparing to tear through space to confront the tribulation.

Just then, a figure appeared beneath the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation.

Li Peng looked closely and saw that it was Nuwa, who had gone to resist the tribulation before him.

"This silly girl, it doesn't matter if my strength is exposed. Why must you do this?" Li Peng shook his head, a smile on his lips.

In the past, Li Peng was unwilling to expose his strength because he feared attracting the attention of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, which would prevent him from helping the Human Race when they were in danger.

But now, Li Peng had a Hunyuan Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal trial card. Although it only lasted for one day, it was enough for him to contend with Ancestor Hongjun and even the Heavenly Dao.

As long as Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao did not wish for the Primordial Era to be destroyed, they would have no choice but to compromise.

However, since Nuwa had already gone to help his clone overcome the tribulation, Li Peng no longer needed to go himself.

Outside the Human Ancestral Hall

Seeing Nuwa appear, the many humans cheered:

"The Saint Mother is here! We are saved!"

"Greetings, Saint Mother!"

"Greetings, Saint Mother!"

Countless humans knelt on the ground, shouting in unison towards Nuwa's figure. The sound waves spread like a tide in all directions.

At this moment, the lightning tribulation in the sky had already fully condensed.

A lightning dragon, millions of feet long, lunged directly at the characters and Li Wu.

Seeing this, Nuwa gently tossed the Red Embroidered Ball in her hand, sending it directly to meet the massive lightning dragon.

"Rumble—"

A deafening roar shook the heavens.

In the next moment, the lightning dragon dispersed, but Nuwa was unharmed, her expression calm.

Then, dozens more lightning dragons struck consecutively, but Nuwa easily blocked them all.

Kunlun Mountain:

"Is this the might of a Saint?" Laozi looked at Nuwa effortlessly blocking the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation, his expression filled with shock.

"Yes, below Saints, all are ants. The World-Ending Lightning Tribulation that we found impossible to resist was handled so easily by her," Tongtian sighed.

Yuanshi broke out in a cold sweat, feeling fortunate that Nuwa had not held him accountable in the past.

Western Spirit Mountain:

Jieyin's face showed surprise, and he said, "It seems we need to be more cautious in our actions from now on. Before we prove the Dao, we should not conflict with Nuwa's faction."

Zhunti nodded in agreement with a serious expression.

Heavenly Court:

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's expression was solemn as he asked, "Eldest Brother, could the incomplete Zhou Tian Star Formation contend with a Saint?"

Di Jun pondered for a moment and replied, "It might be able to resist for a short time, but if it drags on, we will surely be defeated."

"We still need to find a way to enhance the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation."

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi said indignantly, "If Kunpeng hadn't refused to hand over the Primordial Violet Qi, Eldest Brother might have already become a Saint."

Di Jun could only sigh at this.

Purple Heaven Palace:

Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes and murmured, "Nuwa has made her move... The Human Race's writing should not have appeared at this time. I must go."

With that, he took a step forward, and a space channel appeared before him, his figure disappearing into it.

Human Ancestral Land:

More than a dozen World-Ending Lightning Tribulations descended consecutively, all of which were easily resolved by Nuwa.

The lightning tribulation continued to strike, and the thunderclouds in the sky gradually contracted.

It looked like they would disperse soon.

Just then, a figure appeared above Nuwa.

Nuwa and the Great Powers secretly observing the area were all startled—no one had expected Dao Ancestor Hongjun to personally appear.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor," Nuwa said respectfully, bowing.

Hongjun nodded slightly and said calmly, "Saints are forbidden from interfering in the affairs of the Primordial Era. With the emergence of human writing, this lightning tribulation is an inevitable trial. You should withdraw."

Nuwa shook her head firmly, "Humans were created by me, and I will naturally protect them."

A surge of anger welled up in Hongjun's heart; he hadn't expected Nuwa to dare defy him.

"If you insist on not retreating, do not blame me for administering a slight punishment," Hongjun's tone remained calm.

Nuwa showed no intention of backing down. She retaliated by unleashing the Red Embroidered Ball and the Rivers and Mountains Painting, preparing for a fierce battle.

Kunlun Mountain

"Nuwa actually has no idea what's good for her, daring to talk back to the Dao Ancestor. Has she forgotten the immensity of heaven and earth after becoming a Saint?" Yuanshi said indignantly.

"Watch your words! The disputes between Saints are not for us to discuss. Whether it's Nuwa or the Dao Ancestor, neither is someone we can afford to offend," Laozi sharply rebuked.

Yuanshi fell silent upon hearing this, but a yearning for the Saint position ignited in his eyes.

Tongtian stood quietly to the side, secretly feeling a sliver of admiration.

Western Spirit Mountain

"Is Nuwa going to clash head-on with the Dao Ancestor? If she is punished by the Dao Ancestor, the East will lose a Saint," Zhunti said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Jieyin shook his head, "As long as the Primordial Era endures, the Heavenly Dao will last forever, and Saints will not die. The Dao Ancestor will at most administer a minor punishment."

Great Powers across the Primordial Era were all shocked by Nuwa's resolve.

Three Immortal Island

Li Peng gazed at Nuwa, who was preparing to confront the Dao Ancestor, and sighed softly, "Silly girl, you've already done your best, why cling to this?"

As he finished speaking and was about to step forward to assist, a system prompt suddenly sounded:

"Detected Host facing a choice, please make your selection quickly!"

"Choice One: Remain on Three Immortal Island and watch your woman fight for you outside!"

"Reward: Hundred thousand years of Magic Power, a random Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Title: 'Gigolo'."

"Choice Two: Your woman is being bullied. Please stop it and force Dao Ancestor Hongjun to retreat!"

"Reward: Ten million years of Magic Power, a random Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Yin-Yang Great Dao Law enhanced by 30%."

"Choice Three: Stand by idly and let her fend for herself."

"Reward: Three million years of Magic Power, a random Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Human Race Favorability -30, Nuwa Favorability -20."

"Please make your selection quickly!"

Li Peng only glanced at it before choosing the second option without hesitation.

The first choice, what kind of man would that make him? He immediately ruled it out.

The third choice, not only not helping his woman but also siding with outsiders, was simply absurd.

Only the second choice, although seemingly dangerous, had a Hunyuan Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal trial card in Li Peng's hand. Although it only lasted for a day, it was enough to resolve the current crisis.

As for the rewards? Li Peng had no mind to consider them at the moment.

His woman was being bullied, and he had to rush to her rescue immediately!

Li Peng no longer hesitated. He waved his hand, tearing open a spatial rift, and headed straight for the area outside the Human Ancestral Hall.

Outside the Human Ancestral Hall.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun raised his hand and said calmly, "Nuwa, I will give you one more chance to leave this place. Otherwise, do not blame me for taking action."

"Impossible! Humans were created by me, and I will never abandon them," Nuwa's voice was firm.

The humans, upon hearing this, were moved to tears.

"Saint Mother! Please leave, this is the Heavenly Dao's test for us humans, we can endure it!"

"Yes, Saint Mother, please believe in us!"

"Saint Mother, please leave!"

Everyone earnestly pleaded for Nuwa to leave.

However, the more the humans pleaded, the more resolute Nuwa's expression became, and the gentler her gaze grew.

"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Today, I must act to teach you a lesson," Hongjun's tone remained calm.

Just then, a calm voice rang out:

"You want to touch my woman, did you ask me first?"

Nuwa's heart leaped with joy upon hearing this voice, but when she heard the words "my woman," her face instantly flushed.

As the voice faded, a spatial channel opened beside Nuwa.

The next moment, Li Peng stepped out, appearing by her side.

"Li Peng, I truly didn't expect you to have also attained the Saint realm!" Hongjun exclaimed in surprise.

However, upon closer inspection, Hongjun's expression immediately darkened: "No... you are not a Saint, you are a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

"That's right, I am not a Saint, but a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal," Li Peng admitted with a nod.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's expression became even more solemn.

He truly couldn't understand why Li Peng would abandon the Primordial Violet Qi.

Did he sense something wrong with the Primordial Violet Qi?

Or was there another reason?

With a wave of his hand, Hongjun isolated the space they were in from the outside world, blocking the prying eyes of the Great Powers of the Primordial Era.

"Why did you give up the Primordial Violet Qi and choose to become a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal?" Hongjun asked in a deep voice.

Li Peng's eyes flickered as he calmly replied, "You tampered with the Primordial Violet Qi. My Master saw through it at a glance."

"Who is your Master?" Hongjun Dao Ancestor asked with confusion.

"My Master? Hehe, don't you find the Innate Supreme Treasure in my hand familiar?" Li Peng said calmly.

As he spoke, he summoned the Chaos Yin-Yang Pagoda.

Hongjun looked closely and hesitated, "The Chaos Yin-Yang Pagoda, the companion treasure of the Yin-Yang Demon God?"

Because this treasure had been downgraded from a Chaos Spiritual Treasure to an Innate Supreme Treasure, Hongjun couldn't confirm it for a moment.

"Precisely," Li Peng nodded.

"It seems that it was your Master, the Yin-Yang Demon God, who has been stirring up trouble in the Primordial Era?" Hongjun's expression was solemn.

As a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God, he knew the terror of the Yin-Yang Demon God. Even though he was now the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"My Master has been cultivating in seclusion and doesn't seem to have done anything in the Primordial Era," Li Peng replied calmly.

In any case, the Yin-Yang Demon God had long since perished. Before he himself had fully grown, Li Peng didn't mind using his Master's name to intimidate the other party.

"Has his strength... fully recovered?" Hongjun's face grew even more unsightly.

"I'm not sure if he has fully recovered, but Master asked me to show you something. He said you would understand after seeing it," Li Peng said with a faint smile.

At the same time, he silently recited in his heart: "Use the Hunyuan Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal experience card!"

"Hunyuan Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal experience card used successfully! Countdown begins: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds..."

As the countdown began, Li Peng's cultivation began to soar.

Peak early-stage Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, mid-stage Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, peak mid-stage Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal...

Li Peng's cultivation surged all the way, stopping only when it reached the peak of Hunyuan Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

When his realm reached the peak of the Heavenly Dao, a vast and heaven-pressuring aura erupted from within him.

If this space had not already been isolated by Hongjun Dao Ancestor with supreme Dao methods, such an aura would have shaken the entire Primordial Era.

"This is the aura of the peak Heavenly Dao. It seems the Yin-Yang Demon God has recovered to his full strength," Hongjun Dao Ancestor said with a solemn expression.

Li Peng felt the boundless power within him. Although he was eager to strike and kill Hongjun immediately, and monopolize the Primordial Era, He remembered that such power could only last for a day, and it was impossible to kill Hongjun within a day.

Moreover, Hongjun was one with the Heavenly Dao; as long as the Heavenly Dao existed, he would not die.

More importantly, if a battle were to break out within the Primordial Era, before the outcome was decided, the world and the heavens might return to chaos.

Thinking of this, Li Peng abandoned the idea of fighting Hongjun.

Since he wasn't going to fight, maintaining the Hunyuan Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal experience card would be a waste.

As the system prompt sounded, Li Peng's realm rapidly dropped, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the early-stage Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Hongjun watched his realm continuously fall, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

But in the end, Hongjun also gave up the idea of killing Li Peng.

If killing one person were to provoke the Yin-Yang Demon God to act personally, Hongjun would be in a dangerous situation.

What's more, if the Yin-Yang Demon God were to act within the Primordial Era, with two Heavenly Dao-level existences battling, how could the Primordial Era be preserved?

Clearly, it could not.

Therefore, Hongjun also let go of his murderous intent.

"What do you intend to do in the Primordial Era?" Hongjun asked sternly.

"Nothing else. My Master has been traveling in the Chaos for a long time and wishes to find a place to settle," Li Peng replied with a shrug.

"Does your Master intend to compete with me for control of the Primordial Era?" Hongjun Dao Ancestor's voice was filled with killing intent.

"That I do not know. However, my Master asked me to convey a message to you," Li Peng said with a faint smile.

"What message?"

"My Master said that he will not act personally, nor will he touch your disciples. From now on, you and I will use them as chess pieces to contend for the right to speak in the Primordial Era – the outcome will be decided by them," Li Peng said, imitating the tone of the Yin-Yang Demon God from his memory.

Hearing this tone, Hongjun was even more convinced that his words were not false.

As a pure being of the Primordial Era, Li Peng had naturally never heard of the Yin-Yang Demon God.
