Primordial Era: Starting Off By Tricking Nuwa!

What should the Dragon Clan do?

What should we do?

"No, there's still a chance!"

"As long as the Clan Leader makes a move, these Fierce Beasts can be defeated!"

Ying Long suddenly snapped back to his senses, having thought of a way to break the stalemate.

While Ying Long was sending a telepathic message to Ancestor Dragon for help, he immediately led his men to contain Wang Hu and the other six Fierce Beasts, reducing the Dragon Clan's losses.

Ancestor Dragon, who was fighting with First Qilin, became enraged upon receiving Ying Long's plea for help:

"Yuan Feng, what does your Phoenix Clan mean by this?"

Ancestor Dragon demanded an explanation from Yuan Feng as to why the Phoenix Clan had withdrawn their troops and betrayed the Dragon Clan, leaving them vulnerable on both fronts.

"Our Phoenix Clan will not fight for these Western treasures anymore. We'll leave them to your Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan."

Seeing that most of the Phoenix Clan had already retreated, Yuan Feng stopped pretending and disengaged from the battle.

"Hahaha!"

First Qilin threw his head back and laughed heartily. He had already learned about the situation on the battlefield below through a telepathic message from Earth Qilin Gou Chen.

"Ancestor Dragon, it seems your allies are not very reliable!"

First Qilin couldn't help but mock Ancestor Dragon. He had initially been worried that the Qilin Clan might not be able to withstand the combined forces of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans.

He hadn't expected the sudden appearance of the eight beast generals to disrupt the Dragon-Phoenix alliance, frighten the Phoenix Clan into retreating, and leave the Dragon Clan vulnerable on both fronts.

Chapter 23: Ancestor Luohu Appears, Yuan Feng Flees!

Although the Qilin Clan was also facing the eight beast generals, they only had two of them, and his younger brother Earth Qilin Gou Chen could still handle them.

The Dragon Clan, on the other hand, had six, and Ying Long couldn't even cope with them.

The current situation was advantageous for the Qilin Clan. It was possible they could even use this opportunity to crush the Dragon Clan.

Ancestor Dragon's anger intensified with First Qilin's taunt.

His killing intent soared, but it wasn't directed at First Qilin; it was aimed at Yuan Feng.

"First Qilin, Yuan Feng intends for our two clans to weaken each other so he can profit."

"How about we join forces to kill Yuan Feng first, then call a truce, and after dealing with the eight beast generals, we can settle our own score?"

Ancestor Dragon proposed an alliance to First Qilin. He wanted to rescue the Dragon Clan, but he was being held back by First Qilin and couldn't break free.

"No deal!"

First Qilin refused Ancestor Dragon, knowing full well that allying with Ancestor Dragon would be like "seeking a tiger for its skin."

First Qilin stubbornly held Ancestor Dragon back, preventing him from going to the Dragon Clan's aid.

Just then, an earth-shattering malevolent aura erupted from Mount Sumeru, casting a shadow over the thirty-third heaven.

"The Western treasure has completely appeared."

Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and First Qilin trembled inwardly at that moment.

The mere appearance of the treasure had generated such power; they couldn't even imagine how strong its full might would be.

"Could it be as Bai Chen said? Someone is forging a terrifying, malevolent supreme treasure!"

Yuan Feng muttered inwardly. Although she had ordered the Phoenix Clan to withdraw, she still found it hard to believe Bai Chen's words.

It couldn't be helped. Yuan Feng was a person destined for calamity, her mind already eroded by Calamity Qi, making her irrational.

Only when the Calamity Qi dissipated would her mind return to normal.

"You don't need to discuss who dies first, because you will all die here and become the foundation for this seat's Dao Proving!"

A cold, mocking voice suddenly rang out. Immediately after, a tall and handsome man clad in a black robe appeared, riding the Twelve-grade World-Ending Black Lotus.

"Who are you?"

Ancestor Dragon looked at the man before him. Even though the other party hadn't made a move, he felt immense pressure.

"This seat is... Ancestor Luohu!"

Ancestor Luohu's Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was complete. Now, he was about to begin his journey to Prove the Demonic Path through killing.

Ancestor Luohu announced his identity. Yuan Feng was greatly alarmed upon hearing this, as it meant she was facing him again.

"Are the three of you going to die one by one, or all at once?

Seeing as you are all about to die, this seat can indulge you with a bit of a game."

Ancestor Luohu's words were filled with contempt, showing no regard for Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, or First Qilin.

Ancestor Dragon and the others were overlords in the outside world, but to Ancestor Luohu, they were merely slightly larger ants.

The reason for Ancestor Luohu's confidence stemmed from his origins; it was the pride of his Chaos Demon God identity!

"Utterly arrogant!"

Ancestor Dragon roared in anger. When had he ever been looked down upon like this?

He retaliated by unleashing the Ancestor Dragon Pearl, firing a divine ability at Ancestor Luohu to gauge his strength.

"Too weak. With just this strength, you dare call yourself half-step Dao Proving?"

Ancestor Luohu waved his robe and nullified the Ancestor Dragon's attack.

Honestly, Ancestor Luohu was quite surprised by the Ancestor Dragon's strength; he hadn't expected it to be so weak.

Ancestor Luohu felt that the Ancestor Dragon's half-step Dao Proving combat power was incredibly diluted.

"How is this possible!"

The Ancestor Dragon found this outcome hard to accept. He had anticipated Ancestor Luohu could block his attack, but he never imagined he would do so with just a wave of his robe.

"Heh heh!"

Ancestor Luohu sneered mockingly.

"Nothing is impossible. Your origins are merely the four primordial elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, born as Innate Divine Beasts when the Five Elements evolved!"

"And my origins are incomparably noble. How could you possibly compare?"

Others might not know the true origins of the Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the First Qilin, but Ancestor Luohu knew them very well.

While the origins of the Ancestor Dragon and the other two were indeed considered noble compared to ordinary Innate Deities and Innate Divine Beasts, they were utterly insignificant when compared to the Chaos Demon Gods like Ancestor Luohu, who hadn't completely perished.

"Yuan Feng, First Qilin, this guy's strength is above mine. Let's join forces and take him down together."

The Ancestor Dragon decided to set aside their past grievances and extended an invitation to Yuan Feng and the First Qilin to form an alliance.

He had no choice. Based on the earlier probing, the Ancestor Dragon was certain that Luohu's cultivation was superior to his own.

Furthermore, he estimated that the supreme treasure that emerged from Mount Sumeru was most likely in the other's possession.

Only by joining forces could the three of them have a chance to defeat him and seize the treasure.

"Alright!"

Yuan Feng and the First Qilin nodded in agreement to the Ancestor Dragon's alliance request. After all, the strength Ancestor Luohu displayed had truly shocked them.

"Haha, now this is a bit more interesting!"

Ancestor Luohu roared to the heavens, showing no regard for the alliance of the three.

After all, having the three of them attack one by one was too boring.

The Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin simultaneously unleashed their supreme treasures, the Ancestor Dragon Pearl and the Qilin Seal, and attacked Ancestor Luohu.

Yuan Feng raised the Phoenix Clan's supreme treasure, the Phoenix Scepter, as if brewing a killing move.

Just as the Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin drew Ancestor Luohu's attention, Yuan Feng transformed into seven-colored divine light and fled.

"Huh!"

"How strange!"

Ancestor Luohu watched Yuan Feng flee, utterly astonished.

Ancestor Luohu found it utterly unreasonable for Yuan Feng, as the ruler of the Phoenix Clan and the lord of birds, to act in such a manner as to flee without a fight.

The reason Yuan Feng fled without fighting was that she remembered Bai Chen's advice.

She feigned cooperation with the Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin solely to have these old rivals distract Ancestor Luohu, creating an opportunity for her to escape.

Ancestor Luohu did not pursue Yuan Feng as she fled, for he reasoned that even if the phoenix escaped, its nest would not.

He could always go to Phoenix Perch Mountain and slaughter the Phoenix Clan after he had refined the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan.

Ancestor Luohu caught the attacks of the Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin with his bare hands. With a raise of his hand, Demonic Path laws poured out, and the terrifying power of these laws made the Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin spit out blood.

"What exactly is your cultivation level?"

The First Qilin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had expected Ancestor Luohu to be strong, but he hadn't anticipated him to be this strong.

The First Qilin suspected that Ancestor Luohu was not half-step Dao Proving. After all, how could there be such a vast difference between two individuals at the same cultivation level?

"Yuan Feng, you treacherous scoundrel!"

The Ancestor Dragon cursed in the direction Yuan Feng had fled. The Phoenix Clan had betrayed the Dragon Clan before, and now Yuan Feng had betrayed him again.

Damn Yuan Feng, using him and the First Qilin to attract Ancestor Luohu's attention.

Clearly, one First Qilin would have been enough to distract him. If she had called out to him when she fled, leaving the First Qilin here as a decoy, he wouldn't have been injured by Ancestor Luohu.

With a raise of his hand, Ancestor Luohu retrieved the supreme innate fierce treasure, the God-Slaying Spear, and pointed it at the injured Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin.

"Unleash whatever remaining abilities you have, lest you have regrets when you are slain later."

Ancestor Luohu had lost much of his interest in playing around. He was prepared to end the Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin.

Considering their past efforts and their significant contributions to his path of proving the Dao, he magnanimously decided to use the God-Slaying Spear to send them on their way.
