The Great Tribulation of All Beings brought bloody storms. A murderous aura gradually spread across the world, and in its wake, the innate baleful energies left behind on the Primordial World after the creation of heaven and earth erupted as well.
Endless killing intent and baleful energy mingled, forming a pale-gray veil of mist that shrouded the entire sky. The Primordial World instantly grew dim and dark.
Under the influence of the killing intent and baleful energy, many cultivators gradually lost their peace of mind, growing irritable and bloodthirsty. They could no longer focus on cultivation; if they tried, they would only risk going mad.
Thus, besides the world-shaking battle that was about to erupt, small skirmishes continued to break out across the Primordial World. The fighting never stopped. Indeed, the Great Tribulation of All Beings spared no one.
"Kill!!!!"
The allied forces of the Demon Domain and Fierce Beast Domain finally met the armies formed by the various factions and independent cultivators of the Primordial World near the eastern border. Roars that shook the heavens and earth rang out, waves of sound surging into the sky.
At that moment, the eyes of both the fierce beasts and the cultivators were bloodshot. Without a word of warning, the two sides charged into battle.
"Rumble..."
A world-shaking collision rang out across the battlefield. "Boom..." At the point where the armies clashed, the earth was forcibly ripped open, forming a rift more than a hundred meters deep and thousands of miles long. Countless fierce beasts and cultivators fell into it, their fates unknown.
"Kill!!!!"
Tens of millions of dragons, each a hundred feet long, soared into the sky. Layer upon layer of dark clouds gathered, gales howled, and lightning flashed with peals of thunder. A vast river, a hundred million feet wide, descended from the heavens. In an instant, the land became a vast sea, and a raging flood surged toward the fierce beasts and the Demon Domain army, sweeping countless beasts and Demon Domain cultivators away.
Meanwhile, countless phoenixes circled above the fierce beasts and the Demon Domain army. "Kreee!" With a long cry, they sent countless fireballs crashing down from the sky like a meteor shower. Tens of millions of fierce beasts and Demon Domain soldiers were blasted to dust, leaving no trace of their corpses.
The Qilin Clan, one of the three great clans, refused to fall behind. Every Qilin raised its thick, massive legs and stomped down. "Rumble, rumble, rumble..." The entire battlefield shook as if the earth were splitting apart. Suddenly, countless spikes of earth burst up among the armies of the Fierce Beast Domain and Demon Domain, skewering beast after beast and rows of Demon Domain cultivators. The slaughter was horrific.
"Kill!!!!"
Suddenly, countless wisps of black qi flew out from the Demon Domain army, coalescing into vicious black heads, each a hundred feet tall. The heads opened their mouths and swallowed tens of millions of cultivators, then spat out tongues of black flame. Anyone touched by them was immediately corroded into a pile of bones. In a short time, the allied army formed by the various factions suffered countless casualties.
The fierce beasts, who usually knew nothing but slaughter, were now even more savage. Red light blazed from their eyes as they fearlessly tore into the allied cultivators. If one was not enough, ten would attack; if ten were not enough, a hundred; if a hundred were not enough, a thousand... Countless allied cultivators were surrounded and slaughtered alive.
The two armies had been fighting for only a short time, yet countless lives had already been lost. Blood flowed together into rivers, while corpses piled up like mountains.
"Kill!!!!"
Lu Ya transformed into a massive sun and rampaged across the battlefield. Countless fierce beasts and Demon Domain cultivators were reduced to ashes. No living thing could survive within a hundred thousand meters of him, leaving rings of empty space amid the packed battlefield. His might was peerless.
Ancestor Tun Tian revealed his true form, a thousand-zhang beast appearing on the battlefield. He opened his enormous mouth, and a strange gale swept up the fierce beasts and Demon Domain cultivators within tens of thousands of meters, pulling them into his gaping maw. They had no chance to resist.
Old Ancestor Destruction was just as terrifying. From time to time, two pitch-black beams of annihilation shot from his eyes. Any fierce beast or cultivator touched by them vanished soundlessly. Wherever his gaze fell, destruction followed; wherever he looked, death reigned.
The six great leaders unleashed their fearsome killing moves, annihilating countless fierce beasts and Demon Domain cultivators. The allied forces of the various factions surged with morale and fought bravely. For a time, they even seemed poised to overwhelm the armies of the Fierce Beast Domain and Demon Domain.
"Hmph." Seeing the tide of battle as he slaughtered cultivators, the Blood Demon snorted and began unleashing his ultimate techniques, slaughtering without restraint.
The Blood Demon formed Hand Seals with both hands. Blood from the battlefield gathered around him, eventually forming a miniature Blood Sea a thousand zhang across. Countless vengeful spirits roared within it, and blood-red hands reached out from its depths.
The Blood Sea swept rapidly across the battlefield. No cultivator caught within its reach—or seized by one of its blood-red hands—escaped. All were turned into blood, their souls devoured by the vengeful spirits.
The experts of the Fierce Beast Domain also unleashed their ultimate moves, reaping lives without pause.
Three black bone blades flew out from a shadowy figure. They grew in the wind until they were ten thousand zhang long, sweeping across the entire battlefield and cutting countless allied cultivators in half.
"Kill!!!!"
Li Yi's hair had long since turned red. Blood dripped from its tips, his clothes were in tatters, and blood kept seeping from several wounds.
By now, Li Yi had no idea how many fierce beasts and Demon Domain cultivators he had killed. In any case, the number was well over a hundred thousand. He had killed until he felt numb, swinging his sword and slaughtering without pause. There was no such thing as mercy here. Either you died, or I did.
Looking at the thousands of fierce beasts surrounding him again, their faces savage and their eyes blood-red, Li Yi threw back his head and laughed. "Slaughter Sword Dao: Lotus Manifestation!" He flicked the Green Lotus Ancient Sword in his hand. A black lotus sprouted from it, growing and spreading until it reached ten thousand zhang in size, completely enveloping the encircling beasts. Countless sword qi shot out at them, while twelve thick vines lashed and strangled them without pause.
Only desperate, mournful howls came from within. Before long, the storm passed and the sky cleared. The black lotus vanished, leaving only a pile of mangled flesh behind.
Li Yi's Slaughter Sword Dao had now reached its peak. He could conjure the black lotus in any size and control it as he pleased, its forms ever-changing. He no longer needed to manifest the "Black Lotus World" to unleash its full power. He used it now merely out of habit.
The scene of Li Yi's battle was only a tiny, unremarkable fragment of the vast battlefield. Such scenes were everywhere. This place was nothing less than a Doomsday Battlefield.
"Kill!!!!"
Countless tragic, beautiful blossoms of blood bloomed across the battlefield. Slaughter was the only theme. Cultivators and fierce beasts fell one after another, with no way out. Everyone could only grip their blood-soaked weapons and press onward, stepping over corpses.
Old Ancestor Lu Ya once again slew nearly ten million fierce beasts that had surrounded him. A hint of fatigue and irritation crept into his eyes. Faced with endless fierce beasts and the Demon Domain army, he had no idea how long he would have to keep killing. He might as well focus on the Grand Unity Golden Immortals instead; he would have to face them sooner or later anyway.
With that thought, Lu Ya immediately left the fray and hurled a massive fireball at a nearby Grand Unity Golden Immortal from the Demon Domain.
The other Grand Unity Golden Immortals on the battlefield were growing just as tired of the slaughter. They began seeking out opponents of the same realm, and the battlefield soon split into two zones: one where Grand Unity Golden Immortals fought, and another where ordinary cultivators battled.
In the zone where the Grand Unity Golden Immortals fought, the earth kept splitting apart and rivers flooded their banks. Massive fireballs, terrifying lightning, sinister black mists, roaring Demonic Shadows...
All manner of terrifying scenes appeared without end. Cultivators fighting nearby retreated far away, while any foolhardy fierce beast that approached the area was instantly reduced to dust. The sight made the other cultivators break out in a cold sweat.
Li Yi gazed at that area, a surge of excitement stirring in his heart. But he knew he was no match for a Grand Unity Golden Immortal yet; going over there now would be courting death. He could only sigh helplessly and take out his frustration on the fierce beasts and Demon Domain cultivators, as black lotuses relentlessly slaughtered one life after another.
