The Final Battle of the Three Clans: Luohu Battles Hongjun's Four-Man Group at Mount Sumeru
Boom...
A thunderclap resounded throughout the nine heavens. Dark clouds covered the entire sky, endless gales howled, and ghostly wails and divine cries spread across the entire Primordial World. Countless living beings cried out in agony.
Giant dragons circled through the sky. There were Winged Dragons, Golden Dragons, Blood Dragons, Red Dragons...
Phoenixes soared overhead. There were Golden Phoenixes, Rainbow Phoenixes, Fire Phoenixes, Vermilion Birds, Azure Phoenixes...
Qilins trampled across the heavens. There were Golden Qilins, Water Qilins, Ink Qilins, Blood Qilins...
The entire sky was packed densely with them. Even several billion would not be enough to describe their number. The dragons were the most numerous, each with blood-red eyes and a savage, murderous air, carrying boundless killing intent. All that was missing was a single order.
Endless tribulation energy shrouded the three clans. The aura of slaughter permeated the entire world. No one remembered what had caused the conflict between the three clans anymore. They had long since reached the point where one side would not rest until the other was dead.
One by one, driven by the killing tribulation, they had completely lost themselves to bloodlust. This was the final battle of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans...
"Today, our Dragon Clan will surely dominate the Primordial World, with all races submitting beneath our feet. First Qilin, Yuanfeng... Don't think that the two of you can challenge me just because you joined forces..."
"All Dragon Clan warriors, kill your way into an era that belongs to the Dragon Clan..."
Ancestor Dragon let out a roar that shook the ages. His enormous body blotted out the sky and sun, stretching for a million miles. A single breath from him was enough to shatter mountains and split the earth.
"Hahaha... Why waste so much breath? Whoever in the Phoenix Clan hasn't been killed yet, attack..." Yuanfeng's voice was delicate and charming, yet her crisp cry resounded throughout the nine heavens.
"Kill... The Dragon Clan must be destroyed! The Qilin Clan is the strongest..." First Qilin also roared, and all the Qilins moved.
"...Kill..." Ancestor Dragon did not waste any words either.
Boom...
A tremendous explosion rang out. Countless corpses rained down from the sky, and endless flesh and blood fell like a waterfall. That instant collision of destruction flattened mountains and rivers stretching for a million miles.
Countless dragons, phoenixes, and qilins fought savagely. Beneath the boundless killing tribulation, only a magnificent death could make them stop. In the unseen depths, they had long since lost control of their own killing intent.
"Ancestor Dragon... We've come to kill you..."
Yuanfeng and First Qilin joined forces. Because of the disparity between their clans' strength, they had gradually begun cooperating. Now, striking together, they unleashed a killing move that shattered the void.
"Hahaha... In my eyes, you're all clowns. Die..." Ancestor Dragon's strength was as fierce as heaven and earth itself. With a single strike, even mountains and rivers stretching for a million miles collapsed.
Even so, the battle between the three quasi-saints caused countless mountains and rivers to crack and the universe to shatter across the West, yet they still could not destroy the West. The primordial heaven and earth was currently flourishing. As long as its main leyline remained intact, it could repair itself.
"What an opportunity! Yuanfeng... Take my Dragon Beckoning Strike..."
The three top experts fought wildly. Ancestor Dragon faced two opponents alone without falling behind. He launched another surprise attack, piercing through Yuanfeng's body with one move and scattering blood across the sky.
"Ancestor Dragon... Don't celebrate yet! I am immortal and indestructible..." Yuanfeng burned her own body and activated a phoenix nirvana. Even if only a drop of blood or a single feather remained, she could revive once more.
"Ancestor Dragon... Take my Qilin Horn! Die..." First Qilin seized the opportunity and struck. His horn crashed into the dragon's body, producing a roar that shook heaven and earth.
"Big brother... I'll help you." Suddenly, a roar rang out. A Winged Dragon with two wings, the Dragon Clan's Great Elder, swept his attack across First Qilin's body, but it failed to harm him in the slightest.
"Heh... A Grand Unity Golden Immortal like you is no more than an ant. Get down there." First Qilin stomped out with one foot, causing the mountains and rivers spanning a hundred thousand miles to cave in. The blow struck the Winged Dragon and sent him flying on the spot, smashing him into a mountain range. His fate was unknown.
Roar...
"How dare you touch my second brother? I'll make you die—die completely in this world! Endless sacred lightning..." Ancestor Dragon roared furiously. Endless lightning wrapped around his body as he commanded the power of the four seas and five lakes, directly coiling his enormous body around First Qilin.
A terrifyingly monstrous dragon head revealed boundless fury and killing intent. A mouthful of thunderous Dragon Breath poured into First Qilin's body.
"Ancestor Dragon... If you dare kill First Qilin, I'll make you die..." Yuanfeng finally completed her nirvana. She transformed into a streak of light that tore through space and time, her sharp claws slicing across the dragon's body and tearing open his enormous frame.
Endless blood poured down like a torrential rain...
Roar...
First Qilin broke free once more and bit into Ancestor Dragon's body. He went completely berserk, tearing away a mouthful of flesh and breaking free of the coiled dragon body.
"Die... All of you, go die..."
Ancestor Dragon flew into a rage and fought Yuanfeng and First Qilin hysterically. A true dragon a million miles long unleashed one deadly move after another, each intended to kill.
The dragons, phoenixes, and qilins of the three clans had also gone completely mad. Death came every moment. This provoked battle had caused a heaven-shaking slaughter that surged toward a single place.
Mount Sumeru...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Four figures tore through the void and arrived. Seeing the boundless sins of slaughter, they all shook their heads. They were Daoist Hongjun, Great Immortal Yang Mei, Qiankun Ancestor, and Yin-Yang Ancestor...
"Everyone... The killing tribulation has formed. Luohu's scheme runs so deep that he actually hid himself within Mount Sumeru in the West. Only by killing him can the tribulation end..."
Daoist Hongjun glanced at the battle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans. No one could join it, as though three mad beasts were fighting. Outsiders could only watch.
"If that's the case, then let's go meet Luohu together." Great Immortal Yang Mei snorted.
"Let's go... A mere Luohu—does he really think he can fight the four of us quasi-saints? That's wishful thinking." Qiankun Ancestor was domineering.
"Hahaha... Back then, we didn't even take Shen Ni, the King of Fierce Beasts, seriously. What is Luohu worth?" Yin-Yang Ancestor said with his hands behind his back.
The four top experts of the Primordial World represented the messengers of justice. They transformed into streaks of light and entered Mount Sumeru in an instant. At a glance, they saw boundless killing intent pouring in like a great river...
Clang, clang, clang, clang...
It was on the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram...
Four killing swords swallowed and exhaled killing intent. Their boundless killing force was like a vast, endless river. Once these swords emerged, they were the strongest Killing Weapons in heaven and earth...
Luohu sat cross-legged atop Mount Sumeru. He sneered at the four men, looking extremely arrogant, and said, "You've come..."
"Luohu... This battle concerns the struggle of the Heavenly Dao. Demonic Rise, Dao Decline; Dao Rises, Demons Decline. Everything will be decided in today's battle. The great momentum of the Primordial World rolls forward like a raging tide. We'll see whose ability is greater..."
Daoist Hongjun was imposing and domineering, like a messenger of justice. He reprimanded Luohu, displaying boundless might that startled ghosts and gods.
"Hahaha... Since you've come, then please enter the killing formation. With the four killing swords forming the Immortal Slaying Formation and the God-Slaying Spear suppressing it, I, Luohu, sitting alone atop the World-Ending Black Lotus, will surely strengthen the Demonic Dao..."
With a wave of Luohu's hand, demonic energy surged throughout Mount Sumeru, and slaughter became boundless. The four killing swords fell into the four directions, forming an endless killing formation that enveloped the entire mountain.
A God-Slaying Spear stood at the center. The Demon Lord Luohu was like a Boundless Supreme, sitting cross-legged atop the World-Ending Black Lotus. His sharp eyes saw through the great momentum of the Primordial World.
"Everyone, I'll be counting on you..." Daoist Hongjun bowed slightly, appearing extremely humble. "I'll be the first to enter the Immortal Slaying Gate."
"Hahaha..." Great Immortal Yang Mei threw his head back and laughed. "I'll attack the Slaughtering Immortal Sword Gate. The two of you may choose as you please..."
"I won't waste words." Yin-Yang Ancestor glanced over and said, "I'll attack the Trapping Immortal Sword Gate and see just how capable it is..."
"This seat has no other choice..." Qiankun Ancestor could only do so and attack the Absolute Immortal Sword Gate.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The four men took a single step into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Endless heaven and earth shifted endlessly, and killing intent shrouded all eight directions. In an instant, it could destroy mountains and rivers stretching for a hundred and eight thousand miles.
At this moment, whether it was Great Immortal Yang Mei, Qiankun Ancestor, or Yin-Yang Ancestor, all their expressions changed greatly. Beneath the boundless killing tribulation, the only option was to charge forward and break the formation.
"The three of us have all fallen for Old Ancestor Hongjun's scheme..." Great Immortal Yang Mei was the first to blaze with fury. What Demonic Rise, Dao Decline? He had used the Jade Plate of Creation as bait to make everyone attack together.
It was clearly a deathtrap waiting for them—a narrow escape from death...
"Since you've come, none of you should even think of leaving alive. Immortal Slaying Sword, Slaughtering Immortal Sword, Trapping Immortal Sword, Absolute Immortal Sword... Sever..."
Luohu's might was fierce. His voice was like a heavenly thunderclap as the great formation operated at full power. Beneath the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, the four killing swords unleashed an immeasurably powerful strike.
"Qiankun Cauldron..." Qiankun Ancestor of the Absolute Immortal Gate sacrificed the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, with one hand.
"Innate Supreme Treasure, Taiji Diagram..."
"Boundless Space..."
"Jade Plate of Creation..."
At the other three gates, Yin-Yang Ancestor, Great Immortal Yang Mei, and Daoist Hongjun each sacrificed their treasures and unleashed divine abilities to resist the force that destroyed chaos and returned heaven and earth to extinction.
"Hmph... Beneath the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, you're all quite impressive and can put up a good fight. But I wonder if you can withstand the God-Slaying Spear?"
Luohu's slaughter was like a summons of death, shaking Mount Sumeru. The powerful God-Slaying Spear shot across the sky and, carrying boundless killing intent, struck Qiankun Ancestor with one blow, heavily injuring him before he could react.
Because the Qiankun Cauldron was entangled by the Absolute Immortal Sword, the attack struck Qiankun Ancestor directly. Then a World-Ending Black Lotus descended and slammed into him once more.
"And you, Yin-Yang Ancestor..." Luohu struck again. The Trapping Immortal Sword attacked, the God-Slaying Spear launched a surprise assault, and the World-Ending Black Lotus suppressed him. The two experts were heavily injured.
"Yang Mei..."
Luohu did not spare a single person. He attacked Great Immortal Yang Mei once more. Yang Mei immediately used the Hollow Willow technique, attempting to collect the Slaughtering Immortal Sword with that move.
Within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, how could he turn the situation around? The Hollow Willow was pierced directly, and the spear struck his body, heavily injuring him on the spot...
The three experts were defeated by Luohu alone with ease. After all, within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Hongjun had schemed against them and turned their attempt to break the formation into a trap for the four experts. They could only advance and not retreat, ultimately suffering defeat and heavy injuries...
"Hongjun..."
Luohu sat firmly like a fisherman waiting for his catch. However, Hongjun had used his strongest trump card, stirring the Western main leyline. Mount Sumeru began to shake, and a strike shot toward the Immortal Slaying Sword Gate. It was an ultimate killing move capable of judging earth, water, wind, and fire...
"Hahaha... Luohu, has this really allowed you to win? Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, emerge..." A mass of auspicious, evil-repelling clouds was summoned and blocked the Immortal Slaying Sword's attack. Even the God-Slaying Spear could not break through it.
"If that's the case, then I'll kill Yang Mei, Yin-Yang, and Qiankun first, then use the four swords to slay you. How will you deal with that?"
Luohu was enraged...
Standing atop Mount Sumeru, he waved his hand and unleashed another killing move toward the three men...
"Luohu, Hongjun... Even if we die, we'll drag you down with us. How will you repay this karma?" Yin-Yang Ancestor and Qiankun Ancestor completely gave up. Furious at having been schemed against, they could only choose to self-destruct...
