Primordial Wilderness: Download Pangu's Cultivation at the Start - Section 34

Yet.

In the next instant, the expression on Candle Dragon's face froze solid.

Just as his claw was about to crush Dao Venerable Qing Tian, a pearl materialized silently, stirring up a vast expanse of emerald waves. An unbroken tide of Essence of Gui Water spread forth, blocking him outright.

The Ancestor Dragon Pearl!

At this critical moment, Qing Tian had actually succeeded in refining the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, wresting it away from Ancestor Dragon by sheer force!

Candle Dragon's pupils contracted sharply, and a sense of dread surged in his heart.

"Dragon God Soul Shattering Palm!"

He roared, unleashing the Dragon Clan's supreme divine ability, and slammed his palm viciously toward Qing Tian.

He understood clearly—to reclaim the pearl, he had no choice but to slay Qing Tian. There was no other way.

Qing Tian let out a cold laugh. The World-Destroying Millstone vanished abruptly, and the Taiji Diagram unfurled, revealing a black hole.

Roar!

A dragon's cry rolled like thunder. A chaotic-colored dragon claw emerged from the black hole, also reaching for the Ancestor Dragon Pearl.

Ancestor Dragon God Splitting Claw!

Ancestor Dragon knew well how formidable Qing Tian was, so he struck with the most venomous and ruthless technique from the very start.

Boom!

The two terrifying dragon claws collided in an instant, erupting with boundless power.

The entire Undying Mountain shook violently. The ground split open with jagged, hideous fissures. The leaden clouds in the sky churned and were torn apart. Countless spatial rifts spread, shattering heaven and earth into countless fragments.

Countless living beings screamed, reduced to dust in an instant. Qilins and phoenixes fled in panic. Phoenix Ancestor and Shi Qilin struck out simultaneously to withstand the shockwaves of the battle.

In the void, hundreds of thousands of dragons cried out in agony. Some shattered outright, their blood raining down onto the ground. Only a few dragons at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm remained relatively intact, though they too were grievously wounded.

When the two most fearsome dragons of the Dragon Clan clashed, their power reached such a terrifying degree!

Qing Tian laughed heartily, stepping through the void. Before Ancestor Dragon and Candle Dragon could react, he snatched the Ancestor Dragon Pearl in one hand, then regarded the two great dragons with keen interest.

Ancestor Dragon and Candle Dragon were both stunned. What was happening?

They had both struck in fury, putting forth nearly all their strength, aiming for Qing Tian—yet by some twisted turn, they had ended up hitting each other.

"Qing Tian!"

Ancestor Dragon snapped back to reality, let out a long howl to the heavens, and transformed into a blur of chaotic color, lunging ferociously forward.

How could he not understand? He had clearly fallen into Qing Tian's trap!

"Courting death."

Qing Tian's gaze was indifferent.

The Taiji Diagram appeared once more, transforming into a golden bridge that spanned heaven and earth.

He stood upon the golden bridge, the Ancestor Dragon Pearl spinning above his head, radiating tens of millions of beams of light. With his right hand, he grasped the void, and the Heaven-Opening Axe materialized, as if it would cleave heaven and earth in two.

Rumble!

The moment Ancestor Dragon charged, the Heaven-Opening Axe swung mightily and came crashing down!

The power of an Innate Supreme Treasure—how terrifying was it?

Even a being as strong as the Heavenly Dao Incarnation could not withstand a single blow from Qing Tian, let alone a grievously wounded Ancestor Dragon?

There was no suspense. Ancestor Dragon was sent flying backward, his dragon horns snapped in half, chaotic-colored blood spattering through the air.

This sight left everyone stunned.

"Another... another Innate Supreme Treasure?"

Shi Qilin's voice trembled.

What kind of terrifying existence was this? To possess such a wealth of supreme treasures!

He couldn't help but mourn for Ancestor Dragon.

Provoking a powerhouse like this was nothing short of suicide!

"Phoenix Clan, hear my command: from this day forth, treat Dao Venerable Qing Tian as you would treat me. Do not dare to show the slightest disrespect."

Phoenix Ancestor made her decision on the spot, issuing orders to the Phoenix Clan, fearing that some reckless member might offend Qing Tian in the future and bring about a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.

Meng Wu's beautiful eyes shimmered, her heart unable to find peace for a long time.

This was her master!

Even someone as mighty as Phoenix Ancestor had to tread carefully!

Becoming a mount was, for the Phoenix Clan, a disgrace beyond measure.

But now, it seemed like an incredible stroke of fortune.

Having driven back Ancestor Dragon with a single axe strike, Qing Tian strode through the air, seized the broken dragon horn, and said with a smile, "Now this is a fine treasure—a true tonic!"

Ancestor Dragon fumed with rage, smoke pouring from his seven orifices. He let out a hysterical roar, flames of fury blazing in his eyes.

Candle Dragon also flew over at this moment, landing beside Ancestor Dragon, his eyes fixed warily on Qing Tian.

Now that the Myriad Dragon Refining Realm Great Formation had been broken by Ancestor Dragon's strike, it could no longer exert its former power. Both he and Ancestor Dragon had suffered severe damage to their vitality, and even if they continued to fight, they might not be able to defeat Qing Tian.

Yet Ancestor Dragon paid no heed to this. Mana surged within his body, his broken dragon horns regrew, and the aura around him grew stronger—clearly unwilling to let the matter rest.

"Ancestor Dragon is blinded by hatred. I fear he won't escape this calamity."

Shi Qilin spoke with schadenfreude.

The Three Innate Races had stood in tripartite balance across the Primordial Wilderness, clashing constantly, with the main conflicts centering on the Dragon Clan.

Seeing Ancestor Dragon suffer now, he naturally took pleasure in it.

"He has no choice. The Ancestor Dragon Pearl has fallen into Qing Tian's hands. He must retrieve it at any cost, or without the Ancestor Dragon Pearl to suppress their Destiny, the Dragon Clan will face a great catastrophe!"

Phoenix Ancestor shook her head, gaining a clearer understanding of Qing Tian's strength.

Boom!

Without hesitation, Ancestor Dragon struck again. He descended from the void, his entire body stretched taut like a war spear, using his dragon head as the tip, stabbing down toward Qing Tian.

Candle Dragon, meanwhile, hugged the ground as he moved, transforming into a hidden dragon ascending to the heavens. The interplay of yin and yang energies formed a terrifying vortex, locking Qing Tian's body in place while unleashing destructive power.

The tens of thousands of giant dragons who still had strength also acted at this moment, once again forming a great formation to seal the void in all directions, cutting off Qing Tian's escape route.

This was the Dragon Clan's final gambit.

Succeed, or die!

Qing Tian's expression remained calm. The World-Destroying Millstone materialized beneath his feet, then rapidly descended, pressing down toward Candle Dragon's yin and yang energies.

The Taiji Diagram expanded, sweeping in all directions. Spatial force permeated the area, and the remaining dragons had no time to resist before being devoured entirely.

"Heaven-Opening!"

He manifested the Dharma Appearance of Heaven and Earth, his body growing taller and taller until he became a ten-thousand-zhang giant. The Heaven-Opening Axe in his hand swung fiercely.

In that moment, Qing Tian seemed to embody the Great God Pangu himself, carrying out the act of Heaven-Opening!

Pfft!

The Heaven-Opening Axe fell. The sound of flesh being torn came forth, and great clumps of dragon blood rained down from the sky like a downpour.

A deafening dragon roar echoed for hundreds of thousands of li.

Thud!

Two severed halves of a dragon's body crashed heavily to the ground, their fate unknown.

Such a scene left countless onlookers stunned, jaws agape.

That was Ancestor Dragon—a genuine Innate Demon God, a terrifying existence whose strength surpassed the Quasi-Saint realm and reached the Sub-Saint Realm—yet he was being suppressed by Qing Tian, utterly unable to fight back.

"This... how is this possible?"

Candle Dragon's heart raced with terror.

The moment his attention wavered, the World-Destroying Millstone above his head came crashing down, smashing him until he bled, shattering most of the scales on his body.

Gazing at Qing Tian's icy aura in the void, Candle Dragon lost all courage to continue fighting. He quickly executed the 'Nine Transformations of the Wandering Dragon' technique, turning his body into a streak of light that vanished into the void, hoping to escape.

But he still had a fatal weakness here.

That was Ancestor Dragon!

As the second-strongest of the Dragon Clan, Candle Dragon could never abandon Ancestor Dragon here.

Even if it cost him his own life, he had to protect Ancestor Dragon.

The void was torn open. A claw silently extended, reaching for Ancestor Dragon.

Throughout the entire process, Candle Dragon's heart was in his throat, terrified of being discovered by Qing Tian.
