Primordial Wilderness: Starting by Downloading Pangu's Cultivation

Ancestor Dragon's idea was sound enough, but far too naive.

Sure enough, the moment his dragon claw touched the Taiji Diagram, a terrifying suction force surged forth.

A black hole emerged on the Taiji Diagram, spinning wildly. Before Ancestor Dragon could react, he was swallowed whole.

Within the Taiji Diagram, a world unto itself, yin and yang evolved and creation unfolded—the finest means to trap an enemy.

Even with Ancestor Dragon's earth-shaking power, escaping from it was no easy feat.

What was more, Qing Tian would not simply stand by and do nothing.

The World-Destroying Millstone hung in the sky, boundless Sha Qi spreading everywhere, hovering above the Taiji Diagram as it pressed down with crushing force.

Qing Tian's gaze was fixed, his entire focus on seizing the treasure that was the Ancestor Dragon Pearl.

In the distance, Phoenix Ancestor and Shi Qilin wore complex expressions.

Qing Tian's strength had exceeded expectations—even Phoenix Ancestor hadn't foreseen this.

She had thought that no matter how powerful Qing Tian was, he and Ancestor Dragon would be evenly matched.

Who could have guessed that from the very start of the battle, it would be a one-sided affair?

Before Qing Tian, Ancestor Dragon had no power to fight back at all.

"You called it right... such methods..." Shi Qilin sighed softly, making up his mind never to provoke Qing Tian.

Today's Ancestor Dragon was a lesson for all.

"Innate Supreme Treasures are too strong. Even Ancestor Dragon, with his overwhelming means, cannot withstand them. He was suppressed before he could even strike," Phoenix Ancestor said.

The Taiji Diagram stabilized earth, water, wind, and fire—it was practically the bane of the Three Innate Races.

Her eyes flickered, constantly drifting toward Meng Wu.

A powerhouse like Qing Tian—if she could recruit him to the Phoenix Clan, then whether it was the Qilin or the Dragon Clan, they would all have to step aside.

The Phoenix Clan would rule the world!

At that thought, her breathing quickened.

Seizing dominion over the Primordial Wilderness wasn't just about power—more importantly, it was about resources, Destiny, and the like.

Those were the true keys.

"Innate Supreme Treasures... how enviable..." Shi Qilin said with a bitter smile.

"Ancestor Dragon Pearl, submit to me!"

At that moment, Qing Tian's roar thundered out. In his palm, chaotic-colored flames leaped, enveloping the Ancestor Dragon Pearl entirely, as if to refine it completely.

The Taiji Diagram shook violently, scattering some of the Sha Qi from the World-Destroying Millstone. Clearly, Ancestor Dragon was still restless inside, trying to break through the barrier.

Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.

Countless members of the Dragon Clan arrived, surrounding Undying Mountain tightly.

Ancestor Dragon being trapped was a matter of utmost importance to the Dragon Clan—they would spare no cost to rescue him.

"Phoenix Ancestor, what is the meaning of this? Do you intend to wage war against the Dragon Clan?" Candle Dragon, the second-strongest of the Dragon Clan, spoke coldly, demanding an answer from Phoenix Ancestor.

By the time he arrived, he already knew the full story. He said this now only to pressure Phoenix Ancestor into compromise and to force her to help rescue Ancestor Dragon.

Phoenix Ancestor sneered. "If you want war, then war. Do you think I'm afraid? Coming to my Undying Mountain to pick a quarrel—the Dragon Clan has gone too far!"

Candle Dragon's face turned pale with rage. With a furious roar, he transformed into a black-and-white giant dragon, resonating with the hundreds of thousands of Dragon Clan members as they all rose into the air together, forming a terrifying formation.

The Myriad Dragon Refining Realm Great Formation!

These hundreds of thousands of giant dragons were the elite of the Dragon Clan. The weakest among them were at the Golden Immortal Realm, and among them were hundreds of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and thirteen Golden Immortals of the Origin—what a fearsome lineup!

Once the Myriad Dragon Refining Realm Great Formation was activated, even a peak Golden Immortal of the Origin would have to retreat.

This was the Dragon Clan's true trump card!

"Candle Dragon? Trying to save Ancestor Dragon?"

Qing Tian had long noticed the commotion Candle Dragon and the others were making, but the refinement of the Ancestor Dragon Pearl was at its final stage, and he didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters.

After all, Ancestor Dragon had not yet fallen—he was merely trapped in the Taiji Diagram's space, still stirring up trouble and interfering with the Ancestor Dragon Pearl.

Moreover, the Ancestor Dragon Pearl was Ancestor Dragon's companion treasure, bound to his very life, a relationship entirely different from that between Hongjun and the Taiji Diagram.

Thus, refining this treasure was no small challenge.

Of course, there was a simpler method: kill Ancestor Dragon.

Then the Ancestor Dragon Pearl would become ownerless, and refining it would be far easier.

But Qing Tian had his own considerations.

The three races—Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin—were innate races, the driving forces behind the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, and their status was extraordinary.

He had no intention of interfering with the progression of the great tribulation, so naturally he would not kill Ancestor Dragon; otherwise, wouldn't that let the Qilin and Phoenix gain the upper hand?

If the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation failed to erupt, that would be the real trouble.

The Primordial Wilderness of today was teeming with Innate Demon Gods and experts of all kinds—so many that Taiyi cultivators were everywhere, and Daluo were as common as dogs, placing a tremendous burden on the Primordial Wilderness.

Moreover, these beings had lifespans as long as heaven and earth, nearly coexisting with the world itself, and each day they absorbed a vast ocean of primordial qi. If this continued, the resources of the entire Primordial Wilderness would surely be exhausted—it was like draining a pond to catch all the fish.

The purpose of a calamity tribulation was to annihilate those beings burdened with slaughter karma and entangled in great causality, thereby allowing the primordial qi to return to the Primordial Wilderness and form a cycle.

Dao Venerable Qing Tian understood this clearly and naturally would not meddle unnecessarily.

Boom!

Heaven and earth shattered!

In that instant, the Myriad Dragon Refining Realm Great Formation descended, and hundreds of thousands of dragons densely filled the void, surrounding Qing Tian on all sides, radiating a terrifying, boundless aura that nearly destroyed heaven and earth.

At the center of it all, Qing Tian naturally bore the brunt, with immense pressure crushing down upon him.

"Qing Tian, will you not submit and release Ancestor Dragon?"

Candle Dragon roared, his voice piercing metal and splitting stone, spreading in all directions.

As he spoke, the hundreds of thousands of dragons roared in unison, their voices soaring to the heavens, their terrifying momentum spreading, causing all beings in the myriad realms to tremble in fear.

Even Phoenix Ancestor and Shi Qilin watched the situation here with caution.

The Myriad Dragon Refining Realm Great Formation—even the two of them had no confidence they could break it.

Unless they also mobilized their clan's foundations and deployed an Innate Formation.

"Raucous!"

Qing Tian glanced indifferently at the hundreds of thousands of dragons led by Candle Dragon and spat out two words.

Boom!

The dragons instantly erupted, boiling over with fury.

Arrogant, far too arrogant!

"Obstinate and unrepentant! Since you refuse to see reason, I'll make your ten-thousand-year cultivation crumble to dust."

Candle Dragon ground his teeth.

Hum!

He stepped forward, his sharp claws extending, tearing through the void and stabbing downward like a white rainbow piercing the sun, instantly arriving above Qing Tian's head.

Murderous intent surged skyward, the dragon claws glinting with cold light, possessing the power to annihilate worlds!

"No!"

Phoenix Ancestor cried out, her gaze instantly turning grave.

"Ah! Be careful!"

Meng Wu screamed, warning Qing Tian.

As the second-strongest of the Dragon Clan, Candle Dragon's strength was not to be underestimated.

Legend had it that he innately mastered the power of yin and yang—opening his eyes brought daylight, closing them brought night—a renowned existence in the Primordial Wilderness.

Now, with his sudden strike and the amplification of the Myriad Dragon Refining Realm Great Formation, his power surged infinitely, nearly surpassing Ancestor Dragon and reaching the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal of the Origin!

Faced with such a terrifying blow, Qing Tian remained utterly unmoved, as if he hadn't sensed it at all.

"Dao Venerable Qing Tian is nothing more than this! Die!"

Seeing Qing Tian make no move, Candle Dragon's heart swelled with joy, and his claws descended even faster, shrouded in the two qi of yin and yang. Once struck, they could directly tear apart the opponent's divine soul—terrifying beyond measure.
