"Where is Ancestral Dragon? Where is Heaven and Earth? Where is Luohu? Where is Hongjun...?"

With his hands behind his back, Tang Xuan's lips moved slightly as he slowly uttered sixteen words.

They were like true words, as though the world itself responded in the unseen depths.

The instant Tang Xuan finished speaking, Hongjun, Ancestral Dragon, Heaven and Earth, and Luohu simultaneously opened their eyes in Zixiao Palace, the Chaos Realm, Taichu Realm, and Demon Realm.

"River God Senior has summoned us?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the four men rose abruptly, their figures vanishing in an instant.

The next moment, the four appeared simultaneously outside the Three Immortal Islands in the East Sea.

Looking at the Primordial Formation enveloping the Three Immortal Islands, Hongjun did not waste words. In a deep voice, he said, "I'll do it."

As he spoke, Hongjun raised a finger and directly broke open the Primordial Formation. The four took a step and entered the Three Immortal Islands.

How could Hongjun be unfamiliar with the Three Immortal Islands? Just as Tang Xuan knew the islands were mysterious, Hongjun knew their secrets well thanks to the Gate of Taboo.

He had secretly come to investigate before. He naturally knew the formation's weak points by heart.

"Boom!!!"

In less than three seconds, four Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals descended beside Tang Xuan!

"Greetings, River God Senior."

"Greetings, River God Senior."

The four bowed and spoke respectfully.

"Eye of Heavenly Dao, seal off the Three Immortal Islands. The four of you, destroy these Three Immortal Islands for me."

Tang Xuan spoke unhurriedly.

"Rumble!!!"

The Eye of Heavenly Dao responded, its will descending.

A golden-black vertical eye appeared in the sky, surveying the Primordial World as it looked down upon the boundless universe.

Countless Great Dao surrounded the Eye of Heavenly Dao. Its gaze descended, and wherever the vertical eye pointed, space was sealed instantly. The entire Three Immortal Islands were completely isolated by the Eye of Heavenly Dao.

"We obey the decree."

The four exchanged glances. Without hesitation, they attacked the Three Immortal Islands without another word.

"???"

Gate of Taboo.

Boundless immortal light, monstrous demonic energy, and vast amounts of Great Dao laws surged ceaselessly like a tide. Space fell into chaos, terrifying divine might spread without end, and the scene seemed utterly endless.

Even though the four restrained the shock waves, their might remained terrifying and immense beyond measure.

The restrictions and formations of the Three Immortal Islands?

Under the combined assault of four Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, the outcome went without saying.

Like withered weeds before a mighty wind, all the restrictions were annihilated, and every formation was destroyed.

In an instant, the entire Three Immortal Islands were almost flattened by the four. All matter was destroyed. At a glance, nothing remained, save for the Chaos Bead floating alone in the void.

The chaotic energy no longer spilled out, and the bead no longer rotated. It floated motionlessly in the void as if stunned.

As the four broke through the Three Immortal Islands, the place that had originally resembled an immortal paradise underwent earth-shaking changes.

Even Hongjun and the others narrowed their pupils, their faces filled with shock.

They were not shocked by the Chaos Bead, but by the appearance of the Three Immortal Islands.

At a glance, the Three Immortal Islands were filled with thick black mist. Fleshy buds and strips of flesh covered every inch of the void and ground, while countless tentacles waved menacingly.

Countless scales densely covered the void. Pairs of scarlet eyes were scattered everywhere, blinking toward the sky. Anyone with trypophobia would have felt their scalp go numb at the sight.

An immortal paradise?

It should be called the land of Cthulhu!

It truly looked exactly like the descriptions of Cthulhu Tang Xuan had read in his previous life!

No, it was even worse!

"How could such a scene be hidden beneath the surface of the Three Immortal Islands?"

Hongjun inhaled sharply, feeling even more fortunate. Luckily, he had not entered back then. If he had gone in despite this ghastly appearance, could anything good have come of it? At a glance, the place was clearly filled with strangeness and unimaginable terror.

In the void, the Eye of Heavenly Dao had already turned its gaze over. Although it was without desire or emotion, one could clearly sense the Eye of Heavenly Dao's gravity.

The Eye of Heavenly Dao had also sealed off the entire area around the Three Immortal Islands layer by layer, for fear that even the slightest trace of its aura would leak out.

"Sure enough, the Gate of Taboo isn't simple. It really does have a bit of a Cthulhu flavor."

"Was it the Cthulhu evil gods who destroyed the Primordial World? No, no, no. Those Cthulhu creatures look powerful, but that's only true against mortals."

"In the Primordial World, everyone is either a Daluo or a Saint. How could Cthulhu invade? Any True Immortal could erase all those so-called Cthulhu evil gods."

Tang Xuan raised an eyebrow as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Fools. Did you think the Chaos Bead could stir my greed and lure me inside? I'll just call people over and flatten the Three Immortal Islands!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!"

At that moment, countless strands of black mist converged and contracted. In an instant, they condensed into a portal floating above the Three Immortal Islands, half-hidden within the black mist and filled with a strange, taboo aura.

The Gate of Taboo!

"Why won't you enter?"

"How dare you not enter?"

"This is the Chaos Bead."

"You don't even want the Chaos Bead?"

"Aren't you afraid that someone will seize it from you if the news gets out?"

"You even found people to help!!!"

Countless resentful, frenzied, and furious whispers came from the Gate of Taboo. The vague figures poking their heads out of the portal all looked ferocious and menacing.

It was clear that the beings within the Gate of Taboo were utterly stunned by Tang Xuan's choice—and furious about it.

"Enter?"

Tang Xuan nearly laughed.

Why should he enter?

He had guided so many people in the Primordial World and granted them so many benefits. Had he done all that for nothing? With subordinates to charge into battle, was he supposed to be stupid enough to go himself? And enter personally at that?

Then wouldn't all my nurturing have been for nothing?

As for whether Hongjun and the others would compete with him after the news leaked...

"Senior, the Chaos Bead has never appeared since ancient times. Yet the moment you came to the Primordial World, the Chaos Bead appeared directly. This object is clearly fated to be yours."

"Congratulations, Senior, on obtaining the Chaos Bead."

"Congratulations, Senior, on obtaining the Chaos Bead!"

Hongjun, Luohu, Ancestral Dragon, and Heaven and Earth spoke one after another.

The Chaos Bead?

That damn Gate of Taboo actually dared to sow discord between them. How could they not hurriedly demonstrate their loyalty?

It was ridiculous. The Chaos Bead was indeed precious and represented an enormous opportunity, but so what?

Just the Novel Collection that this senior had given them was worth more than any number of Chaos Beads. Those books could clearly continue bringing them endless opportunities. What else was there to consider?

Not to mention, there was a saying in the Primordial World: favors were easy to repay, but karma was difficult to settle. They owed Tang Xuan far too much karma, and that was no joke.

Who did not know that in the original course of events, Zhun Ti had been driven nearly mad by the karma he owed Hong Yun for giving up his seat? In the end, he could only plot to kill Hong Yun and settle the karma by eliminating both sides. Even then, Zhun Ti had still helped Hong Yun become the Human Emperor Shennong. This showed just how important karma was.

And would Hongjun and the others dare to attack Tang Xuan? The answer was obvious. They still could not see through Tang Xuan's background.

"¥%...&#."

Gate of Taboo.

"You've all been deceived by him."

"Deceived! Deceived!"

"He's an ant!"

"He's bluffing you!"

"He's all show!"

"Liar! Liar! Liar!"

One furious, frenzied, and crazed whisper after another emerged from the Gate of Taboo, filled with a strong air of temptation.

After hearing those words, Tang Xuan instead... smiled.

He had been wondering how to establish his might, and this was cooperating so perfectly... Excellent!

The Myriad Treasures River's status could refine all treasures. Then did the Gate of Taboo... count as a benefit?

Tang Xuan took a step forward!
