In a stretch of sea belonging to the Dragon Clan...
A group of true dragons soared across the waters, one after another, enjoying themselves so much they forgot everything else. Like spoiled young masters from wealthy families, they made a domineering procession, and the Four Seas submitted before them.
"Hahaha... Did you see that? This is the Dragon Clan. The Four Seas all submit to us. We occupy half of the Primordial World. What Phoenixes? What Qilins? Before our Dragon Clan, they're nothing but a bunch of clowns who are all equally pathetic."
The arrogant, smug voice belonged to a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon radiating golden light. He was imposing beyond compare and looked down upon all living beings. Who would dare not submit?
The Dragon Clan was now at its peak, conquering every inch of territory. They had occupied countless Spiritual Veins, mountains, rivers, and seas, reaching their greatest prosperity as all sides submitted to them.
The Dragon Clan continued to grow stronger, with countless descendants, and began eyeing the Phoenix and Qilin Clans greedily...
"Second Prince... I heard the Phoenix Clan has several stunning beauties who are bathing in fire at Fengxi Mountain. Once they succeed, they'll become a threat. Shall we capture a few and make them your concubines?"
A Black Dragon stepped forward with a fawning compliment, the corner of his mouth curling with lewd fantasies. He was the very picture of a bootlicker. Only he knew that Black Dragons were the lowest class in the Dragon Clan, barely ranking above seafood.
He was none other than Sin Dragon...
He was unwilling to accept this. This was the first step in dealing with the Dragon Clan...
"Is the news reliable? The aloof women of the Phoenix Clan haven't been enjoyed for many years. This time, I'll definitely capture a few and have a good time."
Ao Shi, the second son of Ancestor Dragon, wore a ravenous, cold smile. As a member of the lustful Dragon Clan, he naturally wouldn't let go of the Phoenixes' beauty.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Once the women of the Phoenix Clan are captured and Yuanfeng is humiliated, the Ancestor will certainly reward you."
A group of spoiled Dragon Clan heirs shouted in unison. They were genuine bootlickers, flattering the son of Ancestor Dragon for all they were worth.
"Excellent... Capture this entire group of Phoenixes." Ao Shi shouted excitedly before turning into a streak of light and heading off.
A group of dragons crossed the Four Seas and headed toward Fengxi Mountain. They soon entered a mountain range filled with wind and fire. At a glance, they saw a group of Phoenixes in a volcano blazing with fierce flames, joyfully undergoing nirvana.
"Little Feng... So this is the Fengxi Mountain you mentioned. It truly is extraordinary. It's making our Phoenix True Fire grow stronger and stronger, allowing us to undergo nirvana..."
A clear voice rang out. It belonged to an exquisitely beautiful woman wearing a crown. Her bearing was extraordinary, and she possessed an air of nobility. She was the empress of the Phoenix Clan.
"Your Highness, as long as you like it. Once you absorb these flames and transform again, you'll reach the Late Stage Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and become a Half-step Great Luo..."
A dark-skinned woman answered with a cheeky grin.
She was none other than Evil Phoenix...
This empress was Yuanfeng's daughter, a True Phoenix who had undergone nirvana six times. She was incredibly proud and possessed the potential to become a Great Luo in the future. This time, only because the Earth Fire had erupted with Heaven and Earth's Might had she been coaxed out to undergo nirvana in the flames.
This area belonged to the Qilin Clan, so they naturally had to act with extreme caution...
"Of course. I am Yuanfeng's daughter." Feng Jiuge was brimming with pride.
"Your Highness possesses the potential to become a Great Luo, transcending the Five Elements and standing outside the Three Realms." A group of Phoenixes began flattering her.
Only Evil Phoenix remained indifferent...
As the Black Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan, an inferior bird with a lowly status, how could she possibly be content?
"Tsk, tsk... So you're the Phoenix Clan's empress, Feng Jiuge. What luck—this saves me the trouble of searching. A Half-step Great Luo? You won't have that chance..."
Loud laughter rang out, shaking the mountains and rivers. A colossal golden dragon coiled above the ancient skies. One true dragon after another appeared, surrounding the entire Fengxi Mountain.
"Not good... It's that lecherous old worm Ao Shi. If we fall into his hands, then even if we can be reborn through nirvana, we still won't be able to escape a miserable death..." Feng Jiuge's expression changed drastically.
They were at the crucial moment of nirvana. Now that this group of dragons had appeared—natural mortal enemies who had always opposed them—how could they possibly let such a perfect opportunity pass?
"Trying to escape... All Dragon Clan warriors, whoever captures a woman from the Phoenix Clan can have her entirely for himself." With a furious roar, Ao Shi spat out a Dragon Breath. It shattered the sky and split the mountains and rivers before striking the Earth Fire magma.
Boom...
Countless waves of magma churned as the earth split apart. A sea of fire surged into the sky, and several Phoenix women were struck by the Dragon Breath. They exploded on the spot, suffering Death of Body and Dao.
"Ao Shi... I'll fight you to the death..." Feng Jiuge roared. She leaped into the air and transformed into a Seven-Colored Phoenix. Incomparably beautiful, she swept up thousands of flames. Her sharp beak, fierce claws, and powerful wings all struck at once...
Clang...
Her attack flashed out like a streak of light cleaving through the heavens. It tore across the body of a Golden Dragon, and blood rained across the sky.
Roar...
"How dare you injure this prince, you stinking Phoenix... Die!" Ao Shi erupted completely. He swung his divine dragon tail, sending Feng Jiuge flying with a single strike and knocking her into the endless magma below.
"Dead snake... This empress will swallow you alive..." A Phoenix burst from the churning magma below and engaged in battle once more.
Above the entire expanse of magma, a terrifying slaughter swept across all directions. Thunder boomed and the earth shook as true dragons and Phoenixes fought one another, determined to perish together. Blood stained the sky.
At this moment, a force was rushing over from afar. At its head was a Golden Qilin who controlled thousands of thunderbolts. His Path of Slaughter was extraordinary, and he was the son of First Qilin...
Behind him came another group, including Fire Qilin, Water Qilin, Wood Qilin, and Black Qilin...
"So the Dragon and Phoenix Clans really are causing trouble. How outrageous! Today, no one will leave the territory of our Qilin Clan. Ink Qilin... You can take the credit for this one..."
Golden Qilin threw back his head and roared, incomparably excited. If he killed the emperors of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, it would be a tremendous accomplishment.
"Everything is for the Qilin Clan..." Ink Qilin answered solemnly.
This entire scheme had been the work of Demon Qilin, all to lure out the emperors of the Qilin Clan.
"Good... Follow me into the battle and hunt down both clans directly..." Golden Qilin was highly excited. The Dragon and Phoenix Clans had already suffered heavy losses fighting each other.
"Kill..." Ink Qilin, who was also Demon Qilin, roared and charged forward. He bit a Phoenix to death, then trampled a dragon beneath his feet.
"Qilins..."
The Dragon and Phoenix Clans had fought themselves into a frenzy. Seeing the Qilin Clan arrive, they burned their very essences and began a mad battle.
The emperors of the three clans clashed at once. The sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light. Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of li, the land was devastated, drenched in blood, and reduced to utter ruin...
They had gone completely berserk...
Not far away...
A man wreathed in black Qi held a long spear, with a Black Lotus hovering above his head. He revealed a smug smile and directly obscured Heaven and Earth.
"Heh heh... A little scheme was enough to drive the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans into a frenzy. The great battle should begin now, stirring up endless baleful energy. The Path of Slaughter, Demonic Rise, Dao Decline—that is the Dao of me, Luohu..."
"The First Sage of the Primordial World can only be me, the Demon Lord..."
Luohu chuckled as he watched the three clans slaughter one another. One after another, they fell in a bloody mess. He brought out one Killing Weapon after another, absorbing endless blood energy and nurturing slaughter, making their killing grow even more frenzied.
Boom...
A thunderous explosion rang out. Someone had self-destructed, sending a mushroom cloud rising into the air. The entire world shattered, and hundreds of thousands of li became ruins. Whether Qilin, Phoenix, or true dragon, almost all of them suffered Death of Body.
This explosion awakened the three clans' ancestors from their seclusion. They all looked toward the same place, transformed into streaks of light, and descended upon Fengxi Mountain.
Amid the ruins, shattered corpses lay beyond recognition, and blood had dyed the earth red...
"Ancestor Dragon... Yuanfeng... You two clans came to the territory of my Qilin Clan. What exactly were you after? You even caused my son's death..."
A roar shook the void. It was the arrival of First Qilin, who glared fiercely at Yuanfeng and Ancestor Dragon.
"Hmph... Who exactly struck the killing blow? You're actually interrogating us? My daughter, Feng Jiuge, is dead..." Yuanfeng gritted her teeth.
"Are you the only ones who lost a child? What about my dragon sons? Since that's the case, the great war between the three clans begins today..." Ancestor Dragon was furious beyond measure. The deaths of two sons in such a short span of time drove him completely mad.
"Good... Then let's perish together and see who truly rules the Primordial World. Have I, First Qilin, ever feared anyone? Fight..."
"I, Yuanfeng, will see this through as well. Let's see who will be the final emperor..."
The conflict ignited in an instant...
The outbreak of the Dragon-Han Calamity was concealed by the heavenly secrets. Once the slaughter began, no one could remain uninvolved or unravel all the causes and effects. Everyone was trapped within the situation and unable to escape...
Inside Buzhou Mountain...
Within a Daoist sanctuary...
This was Nuwa's sanctuary. The familiar grass and trees made one feel exceptionally comfortable. At a glance, one could see a wormhole through which one could return to the later age at any time.
After making a trip out, Fuxi hurried back and said, "Something major has happened..."
"Brother... What is it?" Nuwa elegantly picked Enlightenment Tea, preparing to brew a pot.
"The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans have gone to war..." Fuxi was deeply worried. Once the calamity began, Heaven and Earth would no longer be peaceful.
"Little Xuanzi..." Nuwa's eyes lit up, and she called out loudly for Chen Xuan.
"What happened? I just got back, and you're already treating me like a model worker. I refuse." Chen Xuan resisted with all his might.
"The great war between the three clans has begun, and the Primordial World is in chaos. Shall we go steal Dragon Tooth Rice? The palace has gone to so much trouble for you, this rebellious ingrate..." Great God Nuwa gritted her teeth.
"Hehe... I never expected the Great Thief of the Primordial World I talked about to become reality step by step. From now on, we'll be a thieves couple..." Chen Xuan said smugly.
