The Fierce Beast Royal Court was thick with killing intent.
Shen Ni sat quietly on his throne, his gaze icy.
The void trembled, and Luohu's figure appeared.
"What brings you here?" Shen Ni asked coolly, a hint of wariness in his voice.
Luohu stood with his hands behind his back, a cold smile on his lips. "Are you content to let things end like this?"
Shen Ni's eyes narrowed, killing intent surging. With every blink, it seemed the very source of slaughter in Heaven and Earth was manifesting.
He demanded coldly, "What are you after?"
Luohu gave a faint smile, his gaze inscrutable.
In the Primordial World as it stood now, Shen Ni was the only one he could win over.
And as ruler of the Ferocious Beast Clan, Shen Ni would never willingly accept fading into obscurity!
A cold smile tugged at Luohu's lips as he looked at Shen Ni. "I came here, naturally, to help you achieve greatness."
Shen Ni stared at him strangely, but inwardly he scoffed.
Last time, Luohu had said the same thing, only to be chased all over the Primordial World by Long Zang.
He certainly hadn't forgotten how wretched Luohu had looked.
Luohu seemed to recall the incident too. His face twitched, and he muttered, "That guy's a lunatic."
Long Zang was at odds with all the Great Supernatural Beings in the Primordial World. He didn't play by the rules; he was a complete anomaly!
"Then what do you plan to do?" Shen Ni asked coldly.
Luohu considered this for a moment, his gaze chilling. "The Phoenix Clan has Yuan Huang guarding them, and now they have that lunatic as well. Wiping them out is all but impossible."
A glint flashed in Shen Ni's eyes.
He knew that well enough.
The Phoenix Clan was the toughest opponent to crack right now.
Luohu continued in a low voice, "But the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan don't have that lunatic."
A sharp gleam flashed in Shen Ni's eyes.
Of course. He had been so fixated on the battlefield against the Phoenix Clan that he'd lost sight of the bigger picture.
The Primordial World's three clans stood together. The Phoenix Clan wasn't the only target.
Why not choose another?
Shen Ni fixed Luohu with an icy stare. "You haven't set your sights on the Dragon Clan's or the Kirin Clan's treasure trove again, have you?"
Luohu's expression remained neutral, but he didn't deny it. Instead, he said, "I need the blood of a Supreme Expert to offer in sacrifice and refine my spirit treasure."
Shen Ni's heart tightened.
So that was it!
No wonder Luohu had gone all out against Yuan Huang.
When all was said and done, what he truly wanted was to refine that terrifying spirit treasure in his possession with the blood of a Supreme Expert!
"Who are you targeting?" Shen Ni asked quietly.
Luohu's gaze turned distant. Slowly, he spoke two words: "First Kirin."
Shen Ni nodded slightly.
Among the three clans, Ancestor Dragon was the strongest, Yuan Huang came next, and First Kirin was indeed the weakest.
"Weak" was only relative, of course. But compared with Ancestor Dragon's boundless Sea Region, the Kirin Clan's home in the Central Great Domain of the Primordial World was clearly easier to attack!
A smile curled Luohu's lips. "In that case, our partnership is settled."
Ambition glimmered in Shen Ni's eyes.
He had never been willing to fade into obscurity like this. If there was a chance to take a gamble, he'd rather risk it.
Time flew by, and several hundred thousand years passed in a flash.
The Primordial World seemed peaceful on the surface, while the Ferocious Beast Clan remained locked in a stalemate on the Southern Battlefield.
Yuan Huang felt uneasy, but nothing unusual had happened.
Only Long Zang lounged in a rocking chair he'd made himself and said softly, "Shen Ni won't give up easily. He's surely plotting something."
Sure enough, Heaven and Earth suddenly shook above the Central Great Domain!
A shout that resounded throughout the Primordial World rang out:
"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, rise!!!"
Four Sword Lights shot into the sky, piercing past, present, and future as they wove together into a vast, boundless Formation Diagram.
The Immortal Slaying Four Swords hung in the Celestial Vault. Their sword energy cleaved through the universe, while Killing Qi and resentment converged, shrouding the entire Central Great Domain!
Shen Ni looked up, a rare gravity in his eyes. He said coldly, "You've lost your mind!"
Luohu, however, remained impassive, his voice calm. "I know exactly what I'm doing."
Sword Light illuminated past, present, and future, and a chilling killing intent spread throughout the Primordial World.
This was the killing formation belonging to Demon Ancestor Luohu...
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!!!
Luohu's use of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation threw the entire Primordial World into turmoil.
Sword Light pierced the sky, and the Central Great Domain became a chaotic killing ground. Countless living beings turned to ash in an instant, their resentment surging into the heavens.
Shen Ni's expression darkened.
He'd known Luohu was ruthless, but he hadn't expected him to use such a method.
Once the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was unleashed, it slaughtered indiscriminately. Even without anyone actively driving it, the chaotic sword energy born from the formation alone was enough to kill every living being below the Golden Immortal level.
Even Golden Immortals would suffer grievous injuries if struck!
The Primordial World's greatest killing formation had earned its reputation.
"Shen Ni!!" First Kirin roared. The Universe Mountain and River Seal hung high in the Celestial Vault, its Xuanhuang light cascading down to stabilize Heaven and Earth.
He transformed into his true form. The Five-Colored Kirin raised his head and roared, surrounded by billions of auspicious clouds. Divine Light shone across his body like the dawn of the primordial age, illuminating Chaos.
"Die!" Shen Ni replied coldly, the God-Slaying Spear in his hand. The Sea of Blood surged, and killing intent stretched across past and present.
Luohu swept out his wide sleeves, and the World-Ending Millstone came crashing down. Black light swallowed the universe, seeking to grind First Kirin into dust.
Kirin blood spattered across the Celestial Vault. First Kirin's body was covered in wounds, and the aura of the Great Dao of Slaughter kept invading him from within, preventing him from healing.
At the critical moment, a vast dragon's cry shook the nine heavens!
"True Dragon Sky-Conquering Technique!!"
Ancestor Dragon appeared!
A primordial True Dragon stretched across the sky, its dragon might surging. Its tail struck the World-Ending Millstone and sent it flying into the heavens.
Right after, a clear, cool voice rang out: "One Sword Pacifies Ten Thousand Worlds!!"
Yuan Huang's Sword Light crossed Space-Time like a blade that cleaved open the world, splitting Heaven and Earth in two!
Her Imperial Dao might was irresistible, forcing Shen Ni to raise the God-Slaying Spear and meet her attack head-on.
In an instant, the rulers of the three clans—Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Huang, and First Kirin—stood shoulder to shoulder, facing Luohu and Shen Ni.
The balance of power shifted in an instant!
Luohu's expression darkened, but he still sneered. "I told you they'd come!"
Shen Ni nodded gravely. He wasn't surprised.
If the three clans truly meant to unite, they wouldn't stand by and let First Kirin perish.
"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, rise!" Luohu shouted coldly. The four swords rang in unison, and Chaos became a sea as endless sword energy filled Heaven and Earth!
At that moment, outside the Central Great Domain, Long Zang came to a halt.
Three terrifying auras emerged from the void, their Heavenly Dao origins spreading as they blocked his path.
"Fellow Daoist, go no further," one of them said blandly, his voice like the might of Heaven—cold and merciless.
Long Zang's gaze sharpened as he studied the three. Slowly, he uttered three words:
"The Three Heavens..."
Azure Heaven, Yellow Heaven, and Cyan Heaven!
They shared the same origin and bore the will of the Heavenly Dao. Now, all three had appeared together to block Long Zang.
The Three Heavens... Azure Heaven, Yellow Heaven, and Cyan Heaven.
They shared the same origin and claimed to be incarnations of the Heavenly Dao.
In a sense, they were indeed closely connected to the Heavenly Dao.
They could sense its workings, wield the Power of Heavenly Punishment, distinguish good from evil, and judge cause and effect.
But that didn't mean they were the Heavenly Dao itself.
Ultimately, they were still Innate Great Divine Ability Users. They merely wielded authority related to the Heavenly Dao.
