Crimson Flame Tribe, Azure Flower Tribe, Mysterious Water Tribe, Platinum Tribe, Thick Earth Tribe.

These five tribes were races born from the Primordial Era's Five Elements Great Dao.

In the early days, the five tribes were all composed of Innate Gods and naturally born Five Elements Spirit Essences.

However, with the development of countless Eras, the tribes, led by Innate Beings, transformed into the current situation dominated by Acquired Gods.

Furthermore, with the five great tribes intermarrying over many Eras and countless generations.

The five tribes gradually merged into one, forming the current Five Elements Great Tribe.

Externally, the five races presented a united front, while internally, they were divided and ruled.

Through ups and downs, the Five Elements Tribe has a history of hundreds of thousands of years.

Within a radius of one hundred thousand li, the Five Elements Tribe holds a certain reputation.

The Coming-of-Age Ceremony for the Earth Immortals (Earth Gods) of the Five Elements Tribe has also been held for tens of thousands of years.

The current Primordial World is a paradise for Innate Sacred Beings, but it is like a purgatory for Acquired Beings.

To maintain the prosperity of the Five Elements Great Tribe, every newly adult Earth Immortal tribesman must go out and hunt an Earth Immortal Fierce Beast alone.

Only then will they have completed their Coming-of-Age Ceremony and officially become a member of the Five Elements Tribe.

As a newly born Earth Immortal of the Crimson Flame Tribe, Luo Qing was naturally no exception.

He also had to undergo the cruel trial of adulthood.

According to tribal statistics, in the past thousand years, only seventy percent of the tribesmen have been able to return safely.

After Luo Qing refined his Magic Treasure and exited seclusion, he officially left the Crimson Flame Tribe.

This was his first time stepping into the perilous Primordial World.

Currently, Luo Qing is cautiously walking through a mountain forest.

At this moment, Luo Qing has already traveled five thousand li away from the Crimson Flame Tribe's territory, officially leaving the tribe's safe zone.

Qing Luo is currently holding his breath, concealing his entire aura, and carefully lying in a hollow pit.

This is because, a few kilometers away from Luo Qing, a True God level (True Immortal) Three-headed White Tiger Beast is hunting a wolf-like Heavenly God Fierce Beast.

Even though both are demonic beasts, their essence is different.

Fierce Beasts are demonic beasts born from the Primordial World's World-Opening Malevolent Qi, drawing power from malevolent qi and possessing strong killing intent.

Before reaching Golden Immortal (Gold God), Fierce Beasts generally lack intelligence.

As for Innate Sacred Beings, Innate Gods, or low-level Nature Spirits.

Regardless of whether their original form is a Dao Body or a scaled and horned beast body, they are like mortal enemies to Fierce Beasts.

However, if the True God Three-headed White Tiger Beast were to discover Luo Qing's existence.

Luo Qing estimates that it wouldn't mind eating one more Acquired God.

In the Primordial World, there is also a hierarchy.

Innate Sacred Beings look down on Innate Gods, and Innate Gods look down on Nature Spirits.

Those with Innate Dao Bodies also look down on those with scaled and horned bodies.

But no matter how these Innate Beings despise each other internally, they look down on Acquired Beings like Luo Qing the most.

Therefore, Luo Qing must be cautious not only of Fierce Beasts when walking in the Primordial World, but also of Innate Gods.

If someone takes a dislike to you and eliminates you like sweeping away trash, it would be incredibly unfair.

The God-Demon Cultivation Path that is prevalent in the Primordial World today can also be called the Divine Path.

It is a path of strengthening the Divine Body and transforming the Dharma Form.

This is imitating the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods who died at Pangu's hands.

The end goal of the God-Demon Path is to ultimately transform into a Chaos Demon God.

God-Demon cultivators generally have powerful Divine Bodies and astonishing physical strength.

When facing enemies, their Divine Body and Dharma Form are unleashed, and their every move shakes the heavens and earth.

Just like now, the Three-headed White Tiger and the wolf demon Fierce Beast that Luo Qing is watching from afar.

The True God Three-headed White Tiger displayed a Divine Body hundreds of feet tall.

The Heavenly God Fierce Beast was not to be outdone, its Divine Body was equally astonishing.

However, the Three-headed White Tiger was ultimately a True God, and its Divine Body was much stronger than the Fierce Beast's.

After the two beasts fought for more than ten rounds, the Three-headed White Tiger's three massive heads fiercely bit down on the wolf demon Fierce Beast's head, thigh, and body respectively.

With a forceful tear, the wolf demon Fierce Beast let out a scream and was dismembered by the three heads of the Three-headed White Tiger God.

With the death of the Heavenly God Fierce Beast, the True God Three-headed White Tiger's three giant mouths inhaled, and the Fierce Beast's corpse was swallowed into its belly.

"Roar!"

The White Tiger God let out a long roar towards the sky, flapped its wings behind it, and flew away from the battlefield.

After the three White Tiger Gods moved away, Luo Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief and climbed out of the pit.

With the battle between the two beast gods so fierce, Luo Qing didn't dare to linger in this place, fearing that even more terrifying powerhouses would be attracted.

He used the Fire Escape Technique, sticking close to the ground as he headed deeper into the mountain forest.

Over the next month, Luo Qing encountered five Heavenly God Fierce Beasts and two True God Fierce Beasts.

There was also a pack of over a dozen Fierce Beast Gods, which Luo Qing dared not provoke.

This was Luo Qing's first time out hunting, and he didn't dare to be careless. The moment he spotted an opponent, he would quickly flee.

In this manner, Luo Qing arrived near a lake spanning hundreds of miles.

This time, Luo Qing finally found a suitable prey.

On the shore of the lake ahead, two Unicorn Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beasts, both at the Earth God cultivation level, were resting.

Nowadays, on the Primordial land, most of those who roamed freely were Heavenly Gods and True Gods.

Those who had just stepped into the Earth God realm, like small sprouts, mostly stayed in their lairs, hiding and not daring to come out.

Having finally discovered two Earth Immortal Fierce Beasts, Luo Qing would not let this opportunity slip away.

"I'll test my skills on you two!"

Luo Qing stared at the two Earth God Fierce Beasts, a flash of divine light in his eyes.

His proud creation, a second-tier Immortal Artifact (Divine Artifact), the Fire Origin Divine Pearl, appeared in Luo Qing's hand.

"Immortal Technique: Nine Dragon Divine Fire!"

Muttering inwardly, Luo Qing used the Fire Origin Divine Pearl as his Magic Treasure to activate an Immortal Technique.

The Nine Dragon Divine Fire Immortal Technique was a spell Luo Qing had created himself by observing the various God-Demon Fire Arts of the Crimson Flame Tribe with his Eye of the Great Dao.

As soon as the Nine Dragon Divine Fire spell was cast, Nine hundred-foot-long fire dragons surged out from the Fire Origin Divine Pearl. With a roar, the fire dragons charged towards the two Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beasts by the lake.

Such a massive commotion made it impossible not to alert the Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beasts.

"Roar!"

Seeing the nine blazing dragons lunging at them, the two Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beasts became ferocious. They immediately swung their hundred-foot-long bodies and lunged at the fire dragons to bite them.

"As expected, their intelligence is low!"

Seeing this, Luo Qing shook his head. These two Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beasts truly had little intelligence.

Not only did they not dodge the fire dragons, but they even dared to charge towards them.

"I can't let both Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beasts be destroyed!"

Luo Qing muttered. As the nine great red dragons were about to collide with the two Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beasts in the distance, With a thought, the nine fire dragons immediately converged their attack on one of the Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beasts.

"With a boom!"

The nine red dragons exploded violently, turning an area of over ten miles into a sea of fire.

The Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beast at the center of the explosion was reduced to nothing more than the hardened remnants of its skull and horn.

The other Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beast was also sent tumbling a thousand meters away by the shockwave of the explosion.

However, this Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beast was tough-skinned and thick-fleshed. It had not been hit directly by the Nine Dragon Divine Fire and only sustained minor injuries.

A deathly aura permeated the air.

The instinct for survival suppressed its ferocious killing intent, and the remaining Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beast turned to flee into the lake.

"Trying to escape? It's a bit late!"

At this moment, Luo Qing had transformed into a hundred-foot-tall Flame Demon God, with flaming dragon horns on his head and his arms and legs wreathed in crimson fire.

In his Demon God Body form, Luo Qing wielded a hundred-foot-long crimson great saber.

It was a second-tier Immortal Artifact, the Blazing Fire Blade, a shoddy imitation of the Mid-grade Innate Treasure Blazing Flame Blade.

After speaking in his Demon God Body, Luo Qing flickered and used the Fire Escape Technique to appear above the Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beast's head.

With a slash of the Blazing Fire Blade in his hand across the Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beast's neck.

With a swish.

A massive Crocodile Dragon head, accompanied by a mist of blood, fell to the ground.

The Blazing Fire Blade's crimson flames coiled around the Crocodile Dragon's Nascent Soul, instantly burning it into pure energy, which returned to the Primordial world.

After slaying the Crocodile Dragon Fierce Beast, Luo Qing's expression did not relax in the slightest.

His eyes flashed with a green light, and his Eye of the Great Dao gazed towards the distance, tens of miles away.

"Good blade, good Magic Treasure!"

A voice of praise echoed from where Luo Qing was vigilantly watching.

A hundred-foot-tall giant hand made of white flames appeared out of thin air, reaching directly for the Demon God Body Luo Qing had transformed into.

More accurately, it was reaching for the Blazing Fire Blade in Luo Qing's hand.
