Upon hearing Turtle Taoist's stream of nonsense, stirring up the crowd and clearly fearing that she and her brother were not in enough turmoil, Nüwa's fury flared. No longer caring about her brother Fuxi's opinion, she directly mobilized her mana and rained blows down upon Turtle Taoist.

However, Turtle Taoist had anticipated this long ago and dodged Nüwa's casual strike.

He then began shouting loudly, "Fellow Daoists, look, look! I struck a sore spot, and they've become enraged from shame. Now they're Began to kill me!"

"Fellow Daoists, if I, Turtle Taoist, suffer Death and Dao Annihilation someday, it will surely be at the hands of these two siblings."

Turtle Taoist repeatedly danced along the edge of the World Membrane, recklessly courting death.

Fuxi's face darkened as he watched Turtle Taoist continuously slander the two siblings.

When faced with such an unreasonable scoundrel, even Fuxi, skilled as he was in planning and calculation, could only feel helpless.

"Fellow Daoist, my agreeing to give you all a ride was already the utmost kindness."

"How dare you push your luck, take a mile after being given an inch, and make such ignorant and unreasonable demands?"

"Do you truly think that Fuxi and Nüwa of Phoenix Perch Mountain are easy to bully?"

"As fellow Daoists of the Primordial Wilderness, you should know when to advance and when to retreat, lest blades be turned upon you and your lives end upon the Soul-Severing Platform."

Fuxi was now filled with nameless rage as well. He took out the Fuxi Lyre and released his mana, revealing without the slightest concealment the aura of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Everyone was shaken.

They hurriedly withdrew billions of miles away from Turtle Taoist.

They feared being caught in the crossfire.

They could attend a free feast.

But paying the bill was another matter entirely.

They had no desire to pay for Turtle Taoist's shamelessness.

Moreover, even they found such excessive demands contemptible upon hearing them, and naturally felt ashamed to associate with him.

Of course, they conveniently forgot their earlier tacit silence.

After all, they had never actively agreed, nor had they ever openly stated their positions.

This had nothing to do with them.

At this moment, the many Primordial Powerhouses all fell silent. They watched their noses, their noses watched their hearts, and they said nothing as they looked on.

After all, better a fellow Daoist die than oneself.

Let Turtle Taoist bear the harm.

As long as they received their share of the benefits, that was enough.

"We Primordial Beings were all transformed from Great God Pangu's creation of heaven and earth. Naturally, we share the same origin, and treasures ought to be shared together as well."

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, why must you cling to distinctions of faction and bloodline, insisting on your own family's view?"

"Giving us a ride would cost you nothing, yet you would gain the gratitude and goodwill of so many fellow Daoists. Why not do it?"

While dodging Nüwa's attacks, Turtle Taoist burrowed toward the densest part of the crowd, still loudly calling out to drag others in as his shield.

Wary of the other Primordial Powerhouses around Turtle Taoist, Nüwa hesitated to act harshly for fear of accidentally harming others. She actually allowed Turtle Taoist to continue leaping about.

To Nüwa, this was undoubtedly a humiliation.

Rage rose in her heart, and a flush of anger appeared upon Nüwa's gorgeous face, making her all the more beautiful.

Yet to Turtle Taoist, that beauty was a catastrophic omen that sent his soul flying from terror.

For Nüwa had finally gotten serious.

A vast and terrifying Grand Luo aura suddenly surged from Nüwa's body.

There was no longer any of the earlier minor scuffling, all thunder and little rain.

But just as Nüwa was prepared to expend a thousand years of mana to activate the Precious Lotus Lamp's Innate Divine Ability and suppress Turtle Taoist

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A continuous wave of tremors suddenly erupted from the edge of the World Membrane. Even the astral wind layer of the Heaven and Earth Membrane was affected, spawning countless turbulent currents.

The void trembled without cease, as if unable to bear that immense force and on the verge of collapse.

Immediately after, twelve giant figures resembling primordial gods and demons charged out of the turbulent currents of time and space.

Before they even drew near, their unrestrained, savage, baleful aura poured forth like a raging gale.

It sent many Innate Saints with weak primordial spirits staggering backward, unable to withstand that terrifying baleful aura.

Sensing that wild and tyrannical pressure, many Primordial Powerhouses turned pale, their expressions changing instantly.

This fierce and domineering aura was no less impressive than the wondrous phenomena when the Three Pure Ones of Pangu appeared, with white lotuses blooming in the void and their Dao names stirring heaven and earth.

Many people secretly wondered what great figure of the Primordial Wilderness had Appeared now.

At this moment, those twelve enormous shadows finally broke free from the World Membrane.

Twelve Demon Gods emanating ancient, indestructible Grand Luo auras stood proudly atop the heavens, their bodies shrouded in an unshakable bloody and baleful malice.

They resembled Chaos Beasts even more than Chaos Beasts did. Each had a savage, hideous Demon God appearance, without the slightest trace of human likeness.

Yet it was precisely because of this that they inspired even greater terror, and none dared look directly upon their true Demon God forms.

Some Taiyi and Golden Immortals of low cultivation felt dizzy and disoriented after only a few glances.

They were immediately frightened out of their wits and no longer dared casually inspect the terrifying giant forms of these twelve Demon Gods.

These twelve Demon God figures had been born from the twelve drops of blood essence within Pangu's body, fused with the turbid qi from the creation of heaven and earth.

They were born with Great Divine Abilities.

The twelve Demon Gods merely swept their eyes across the scene once and understood what had just happened here.

The leading tall Demon God, with six legs, four wings, and a featureless, muddled face, immediately let out a hearty yet vicious laugh.

"Nüwa, little sister, why get angry with such a clown and kindle useless rage, only to spoil your own mood?"

"Let this Ancestral Witch vent your anger for you, little sister Nüwa."

Having said that, he did not wait for anyone to react before reaching forward with one hand.

A distance of billions of miles was as though it lay right before him.

That hideous, terrifying giant claw arrived before Turtle Taoist in an instant and viciously seized toward his head.

Turtle Taoist's liver and gallbladder nearly burst from fright as he keenly felt the breath of death brush against his face.

No longer caring about losing face, he immediately revealed his true form.

He was an East Sea Divine Turtle, ten thousand zhang in size.

"Such a trivial trick, and you dare show off!"

"This Ancestral Witch has traveled all this way and has an empty stomach. You will do nicely to fill it."

Space Ancestral Witch Dijiang let out a savage, vicious laugh. Without wasting words, he directly ignored the mana barrier around Turtle Taoist's body and thrust his huge hand downward, grabbing the ten-thousand-zhang East Sea Divine Turtle in his grasp.

Space rippled.

By the time the ten-thousand-zhang body of the East Sea Divine Turtle reached Dijiang, it had continuously shrunk to a hundred zhang in size.

Seeing Dijiang, Ancestral Witch, open his enormous bloody maw, Turtle Taoist was overwhelmed by fear and hurriedly begged, "Fellow Daoist, please spare my life. I am willing to offer up an Eastern Sea Innate Tortoise Shell."

Dijiang, Ancestral Witch, glared at the little thing in his hand with eyes as large as lakes. Upon hearing this, he immediately grinned.

"Are you stupid? Once I eat you, every treasure on your body will be mine."

"Something as insignificant as an ant thinks it is qualified to bargain with this Ancestral Witch?"

With that, Dijiang said no more and directly tossed him into his mouth, beginning to chew.

Crunch.

Turtle Taoist only had time to let out a miserable scream before Dijiang bit him into two pieces and swallowed him.

A surge of bloody baleful qi instantly dissolved him into abundant Primordial Spiritual Energy.
