The Primordial World's beings would rather believe Luohu was dead, for it brought them peace of mind.

Supreme divinity bloomed, and all rules collapsed utterly.

Time, space, the world itself... all hurtled toward their end.

Luohu's body began to decay, flesh withering as if dragged into annihilation!

"World-Ending Millstone, suppress!!!"

Luohu roared, pushed to his absolute limit.

The World-Ending Millstone spun in the void, black light like the end of all worlds, crushing everything beneath it.

Long Zang sneered, his fist seal condensing as black-gold radiance exploded.

"Fist Suppresses All Worlds!!"

A long cry shook the nine heavens. Long Zang's silver-white hair flew wildly, like a Great Demon of Annihilation.

One fist descended; ten thousand laws collapsed. The World-Ending Millstone was sent flying!

Luohu's expression turned icy.

He noticed that Long Zang's physical body was far stronger than millions of years ago!

Back then, he could still barely wound him, but now he couldn't shake him at all!

Long Zang's great halberd swept across the sky as he closed in with rapid steps.

In his pupils, the birth and death of billions of worlds evolved, ultimately returning to nothingness.

A low voice resounded through heaven and earth:

"Return to Ruins!!!"

In an instant, deathly stillness descended, as if the entire world was heading toward extinction.

Luohu roared to the heavens, his Demonic Blade manifesting, his Dharma Image appearing...

"Great Demon of Annihilation!!!"

A supreme demonic shadow shrouded heaven and earth, the intent of annihilation sweeping across. The Demonic Blade swung, directly slashing at Long Zang!

Boom...

The sword formation shattered!

The Central Great Domain's heaven and earth reverted to the Primordial World, but the scene before them was mountains of corpses and seas of blood, resentment surging to the sky!

Though Luohu feared no karmic sin, Shen Ni was tightly entangled, and the Ferocious Beast Clan's fortune was rapidly draining away!

Long Zang stood in the void, his gaze icy, murderous intent fully revealed, staring fixedly at Luohu.

This battle was far from over!

Luohu roared, his gaze like an abyss. The Three Thousand Great Demonic Worlds emerged behind him all at once.

At this moment, he was truly enraged!

Boundless Demonic Nature converged into a sea. The world collapsed, vanished into illusion. The entire high heavens seemed to transform into a primordial dark abyss, ready to swallow Long Zang whole.

Long Zang merely snorted coldly. His body swelled explosively, reverting to his true form.

It was an ancient primordial ferocious beast. Six Wings spread, obscuring space-time. The Destruction Battle Halberd pierced the sky.

"Break!"

With a low growl, the great halberd swept across, tearing the Three Thousand Great Demonic Worlds apart!

The ultimate limit of power was laid bare.

This was Long Zang's terror.

Others facing Luohu had to tread carefully, fearing the corrosion of endless Demonic Nature.

But he dared to use pure physical strength to clash head-on with three thousand Demonic Realms—and shatter them in one blow!

Such overbearing force had already surpassed the understanding of ordinary Primordial World beings.

Above Outer Heaven, destruction and Demonic Nature collided.

Time, space, and the world all collapsed utterly, Chaos churning.

The great battle between Long Zang and Luohu had already left the Primordial World, directly blasting into the border of Chaos.

"Luohu!" Long Zang's pupils blazed with murderous light like raging fire.

Every step he took was accompanied by the resonance of the Great Dao, as if Chaos itself was being split open.

Luohu's gaze was equally icy.

Behind him, a Demonic Dharma Image emerged—a Great Demonic Dharma Image, gripping a Demonic Blade, Star Rivers circling, worlds adorning its sides like ornaments.

He would turn himself into the incarnation of "Annihilation"!

The World-Ending Millstone descended from the void, billions of dark rays cascading down, intent on grinding Long Zang into dust!

Long Zang's entire body blazed with Eternal Light, his indestructible divine nature intertwining with the Destruction Great Dao.

His great halberd swung violently, radiant brilliance shaking all worlds.

"Clang!"

The sound rang out like a great bell or colossal cauldron, echoing through Outer Heaven.

The World-Ending Millstone was sent flying by sheer force, while Long Zang was also knocked back countless trillions of miles.

Yet in the next instant, his Six Wings fluttered once, directly traversing Space-Time to appear before Luohu!

"Celestial Star Annihilation!!"

The forbidden divine ability erupted. In Long Zang's palm materialized a world teeming with countless stars, coalescing into a Heavenly Divine Sword that descended with boundless destructive force!

Boom!!!

Luohu's body shattered, demon blood spilling across the void.

But he roared in fury, his form reassembled once more, his face as dark as ink.

"Above and below the heavens, I alone am supreme!!"

Luohu let out a long howl. His Demonic Nature erupted completely, light of annihilation flooding Outer Heaven.

This was his trump card!

Burning the very essence of Gods and Devils, he swore to drag Long Zang into mutual destruction through the path of annihilation!

Cracks spread across Long Zang's body, black-gold blood flowing.

But in the next instant, his undying divine nature flickered—his blood reversed, the fissures sealed, and he returned to his peak state!

"You are not enough."

Long Zang spoke coldly, his voice like a judgment spanning past and present.

He took a single step, his right hand forming a blade that directly cleaved through Luohu's demonic body!

Screams echoed through Chaos, demon blood spilling across endless void.

Long Zang interlaced his fingers, laws roaring as they converged into a terrifying furnace.

"Great Dao Furnace!!"

This was a fearsome divine ability founded on the Devouring Great Dao, with the Destruction Great Dao as its bones, meant to refine all things in heaven and earth!

He would use the power of the Great Dao to completely refine Luohu!

Luohu roared, demonic light surging skyward as he manifested the Great Demonic Dharma Image, gripping a Demonic Blade that slashed down upon the Great Dao Furnace.

The clash shook the heavens. The furnace shattered, but Luohu spat black blood, his face pale as paper.

Long Zang's gaze was icy. His great halberd descended, destructive will pouring down like a waterfall, smashing Luohu apart once more!

"Let's see how many times you can reform!"

Long Zang's voice was cold, dripping with disdain and frost.

Time flowed on—a million years passed.

Above Outer Heaven, a Great Dao Furnace blazed fiercely, its flames never dying.

Luohu's figure had vanished entirely, leaving only a mass of Demonic Nature origin floating within the furnace.

Long Zang opened his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on the Western Land.

He murmured to himself: "Luohu... are you truly dead?"

To anyone else, this mass of Demonic Nature origin would be proof of Luohu's complete fall.

But in Long Zang's heart, he never believed it.

How could the Demon Ancestor Luohu die so easily?

Thinking of the future Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, he vaguely guessed:

Luohu had most likely feigned death to escape, secretly plotting a greater scheme!

Long Zang refined Luohu's Demonic Nature origin, yet his mind remained exceptionally calm.

He understood clearly why Luohu had left behind a sliver of origin—he was setting a trap.

But in the face of absolute power, these schemes were nothing.

Another person would have been consumed by that overwhelming Demonic Nature, sinking into utter madness.

But Long Zang was different. He was, by nature, one who feared no taboo—capable of devouring all things, suppressing all things.

He had no fear of losing himself, because in a certain sense, he himself was a monster even more terrifying than Luohu.

Tens of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye as Long Zang once again set foot in the Primordial World.

By now, the Primordial World had long since changed its face.

The Ferocious Beast Clan had been routed in a series of great battles, forced back by the Three Clans to the Western Land, where they clung to life in desperate straits.

Ancestor Dragon and First Kirin conspired on how to utterly destroy the Ferocious Beast Divine Dynasty, while Shen Ni held fast to the Ancestral City, not daring to take a single step outside.

For the myriad races, this was cause for celebration.

But for Shen Ni, it was nothing but endless shame and despair.

He refused to accept it, yet he was powerless to change the situation.

Southern Region, the Immortal Volcano.

Long Zang returned once more.

"You're back."

Yuan Huang gazed at him quietly, a glint of sharp light deep in her eyes.

Long Zang nodded, a faint smile on his lips.

Yuan Huang couldn't help but ask, "Luohu... is he really dead?"

Her tone carried a note of probing.

Long Zang shook his head, his expression calm. "Not certain. But I suspect that fellow is most likely still alive, just hidden somewhere. As for the 'news of his death,' it's probably something he spread himself."

Yuan Huang's heart trembled at these words.

Indeed, the news had already spread across the Primordial World millions of years ago, and whether it was true or false no longer mattered.

The beings of the Primordial World preferred to believe Luohu was dead, because that brought them peace of mind.

But if it was truly Luohu himself who had spread the rumor, the hidden meaning behind it was truly chilling.
