Primordial Era: Starting Off By Faking An Accident With Nuwa!

Chapter 24: Ancestor Hongjun Appears!

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin unleashed the supreme treasures in their hands, revealing their true forms, emitting dragon roars and angry bellows.

Now that Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin had no escape, they prepared to fight Ancestor Luohu to the death.

The strongest combat power of Innate Divine Beasts was never in their innate Dao body form.

For Innate Divine Beasts, their innate Dao body form would actually suppress a portion of their combat power.

Only in their true form could they unleash their full, true combat potential.

However, the innate Dao body was much more convenient for daily use than the true form.

After all, the physical bodies of most Innate Divine Beasts were terrifyingly large, making even the term "million zhang" seem insignificant before them.

Bai Chen was an exception!

After Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin revealed their true forms, their bodies blotted out the sun and obscured the sky.

As Ancestor Dragon unleashed the Ancestor Dragon Pearl beneath his jaw, and First Qilin presented the Qilin Seal before him, the heavens and earth lost their color the moment ten thousand Daos were unleashed.

"Break!"

Ancestor Luohu wielded the God-Slaying Spear, its innate malevolent energy surging straight to the heavens. With a single strike, he severed the attacks of Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin, reducing them to nothingness.

The innate malevolent energy of the God-Slaying Spear transformed into black light and fell upon Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin. In an instant, their physical bodies were covered in wounds and became tattered and broken.

The injuries on Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin's bodies were the least of their troubles. The most severe injury was that their cultivation had been crippled by Ancestor Luohu.

Now that Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin had their realms lowered by Ancestor Luohu, they were no longer at the Half-step Dao Proving stage.

"Truly boring!"

Ancestor Luohu looked at the weakened Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin and couldn't help but shake his head.

He hadn't even used his full strength just now, and he hadn't expected First Qilin and Ancestor Dragon to be unable to withstand it.

With their cultivation crippled, Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin felt despair, realizing they were at their wit's end.

"Ancestor Dragon, First Qilin, if you had half of Yuan Feng's intelligence, you might have lived a little longer."

"Because of your foolishness, the myriad races of scales and the myriad races of beasts have lost more than ninety percent of their strength. Today, the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan must also repay this karma and help this seat Prove the Dao!"

Ancestor Luohu wielded the God-Slaying Spear. Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin had already resigned themselves to fate, preparing to die.

"Fellow Daoist Luohu, show mercy with your spear!"

A clear voice called out, and then a golden lotus with twelve petals blooming appeared before Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin, blocking Ancestor Luohu's attack.

Ancestor Hongjun, holding a whisk, appeared with the Twelve-petal Golden Merit Lotus.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your assistance."

Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin transformed back into their innate Dao bodies and bowed to Ancestor Hongjun, their savior.

"Hongjun, you survived the Primordial Era's Great Tribulation as well?"

Others might not recognize Ancestor Hongjun, but Ancestor Luohu recognized him instantly. After all, they were both among the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods back then.

However, Ancestor Luohu was somewhat surprised that Ancestor Hongjun had survived.

"Fellow Daoist Luohu, you jest. How could only we have survived the Primordial Era's Great Tribulation?"

Ancestor Hongjun smiled, stroking his beard, appearing utterly composed.

It could be said that among the higher-ranked Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, apart from the madman Chaos Demon Ape, who was cut into four pieces by Pangu, no one else had truly died. They had all fled at the last moment.

"Hongjun, get out of the way now. I can spare your life, considering our shared struggle against Pangu during the Primordial Era's Great Tribulation."

Ancestor Luohu knew Ancestor Hongjun's background. Since he could block his previous attack, his strength must be considerable.

Therefore, he was unwilling to stir up more trouble now and did not wish to become enemies with Ancestor Hongjun.

Once he proved the Dao, he would have plenty of time to deal with Ancestor Hongjun.

"Fellow Daoist Luohu, you have already committed much sin. I, following the Great Dao, have come to stop you!"

Ancestor Hongjun refused Ancestor Luohu's 'kindness.' He wasn't foolish. Not to mention that he had also sensed the opportunity to Prove the Dao.

Even setting aside that, if he let Ancestor Luohu Prove the Dao today, and Ancestor Luohu succeeded, based on his actions of saving Ancestor Dragon and First Qilin just now, he would definitely be targeted by Ancestor Luohu in the future.

"Hongjun, when Pangu proved the Great Dao, you sought death.

Now that I am proving the Dao, you are still seeking death. Since that is the case, I shall fulfill your wish."

Ancestor Luohu was furious. Did that mere Hongjun truly believe he could contend with him just because he blocked one of his attacks?

He had to remember that his previous attack was merely a casual strike with the God-Slaying Spear.

If he were to unleash the full power of the God-Slaying Spear, how could Ancestor Hongjun's Twelve-petal Golden Merit Lotus possibly block it?

"First Qilin, it seems we have both been schemed against."

Beside them, Ancestor Dragon also guessed the identities of the two through their conversation.

He never expected that these two were actually Chaos Demon Gods that hadn't completely died during the Great Tribulation of Heaven-Opening.

Losing to such beings, he, the Ancestor Dragon, lost without complaint.

"Sigh!"

The First Qilin sighed, then said:

"Back then, when we attacked the Fierce Beast tribe, I already sensed something was wrong. The Beast Emperor Shen Ni's demise was too bizarre."

"It seems the demise of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni back then has something to do with them!"

The Fierce Beast Tribulation back then, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans leading the myriad races to defeat the Fierce Beast tribe, had many peculiar aspects.

The biggest peculiarity among them was the demise of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

Back then, it was the Beast Emperor Shen Ni's failed attempt to Prove the Dao that gave the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans the opportunity to lead the myriad races to defeat the Fierce Beast tribe.

But no one knew how the Beast Emperor Shen Ni failed to Prove the Dao.

Today, the First Qilin had a guess about the truth.

Perhaps the Beast Emperor Shen Ni was also transformed from a Chaos Demon God. As for failing to Prove the Dao, it was highly likely that he was killed by Ancestor Hongjun and others.

In fact, it was true. In order to kill the Beast Emperor Shen Ni back then, many great powers of the Primordial Era were lost.

Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin bowed to Ancestor Hongjun and said:

"Fellow Daoist, we are both severely injured, so we won't be a burden to you."

Currently, the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan were still being slaughtered, and Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin wanted to go down to rescue them.

Of course, they also didn't want to interfere in the matters between Ancestor Luohu and Ancestor Hongjun. They just wanted to save their lives.

"No matter!"

Ancestor Hongjun agreed. After all, Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin had their cultivation base lowered by Ancestor Luohu, were severely injured, and couldn't cause much trouble or be of much help.

Just as Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin were about to leave, Ancestor Hongjun stopped them and said again:

"However, I still have a few words to remind you two fellow Daoists. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans leading the myriad races to fight against the Fierce Beast tribe was originally a meritorious deed."

"But your three clans should not have suppressed the myriad races by force, and should not have stirred up a great war for your own selfish desires, causing the myriad races to suffer. You probably owe the myriad races of the Primordial Era an explanation."

Ancestor Hongjun reminded Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin, then waved his robe, signaling them to scram.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

After Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin bowed, they retreated into the battlefield below.

"Sigh!"

Ancestor Hongjun sighed helplessly at the performance of Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin. Currently, it seemed that these two still had no intention of repenting, let alone accepting his reminder.

Those who don't teach will never learn, but those who are taught will learn.

Ancestor Hongjun believed that when the karma and retribution descended, Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin would become sensible.

"Dreaming of escaping!"

"Zhu Xian Array Diagram!"

Ancestor Luohu saw through the intentions of Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin and directly unleashed the Zhu Xian Array Diagram he had refined.

Although the Zhu Xian Array Diagram was a Spiritual Treasure refined by Ancestor Luohu in the later stage, belonging to a supreme treasure of the acquired type, it was also a supreme treasure of fierce evil.

As soon as the Zhu Xian Array Diagram appeared, its divine might immediately enveloped the entire battlefield.

At the same time, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian were also released, wildly unleashing sword energy to slaughter the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan.

Even the High-level Golden Immortals (Grand Unity Golden Immortals) of the two clans were no match for the slaughter of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, being cut down like vegetables.

Fortunately, the Phoenix Clan ran fast, otherwise, they would have suffered the same fate as the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan.

Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin looked at the battlefield shrouded by the Zhu Xian Array Diagram and immediately felt despair.

Because in their current situation, they themselves might not be able to escape the restrictions of the Zhu Xian Array Diagram, let alone save the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan.

Just then, an exit suddenly appeared in the restrictions of the Zhu Xian Array Diagram. It was unknown which great power had secretly intervened to save them.

Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin looked at the not-so-large exit and, with no other choice, steeled their hearts.

Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin rescued the high-level powerhouses of the two clans and led them out. As for the armies of the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan, they were truly powerless.

"Damn it!"

Ancestor Luohu, who was fighting Ancestor Hongjun, was furious when he saw Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin being let go.

Originally, he thought only Ancestor Hongjun had arrived. Now it seemed that another great power had come.

"Eight Great Protectors, heed my command! Ancestor Dragon and the First Qilin have been severely injured by me, and their cultivation has fallen from the Half-step Dao Proving realm. You shall pursue and kill them immediately!"
