I Once Discussed the Dao with Yin-Yang, So We're Friends. From Now On, I Guarantee He Won't Interfere with You Again

The Southern Region, the Immortal Volcano.

Long Zang rode A Bao back to the volcano. Yuan Huang spoke softly. "So you finally decided to come back?"

There was a hint of reproach in her voice.

Long Zang smiled. "I was in seclusion in Chaos for too long. I just got back. This is my mount, A Bao."

Yuan Huang glanced at A Bao, her eyes flickering slightly.

She recognized at once that he was a rare creature of the Primordial World, with extraordinary potential.

A Bao gave a simple, honest bow. "Greetings, Madam."

Yuan Huang nodded slightly.

Long Zang instructed him, "Go play on your own, but be careful."

"Got it, Master." A Bao scampered off, full of curiosity about everything in the Immortal Volcano.

After all, ever since he had gained awareness, he had been trapped inside the Innate Yin-Yang Array. Only now had he truly set foot in the Primordial World.

Long Zang slipped an arm around Yuan Huang's waist and returned with her to the palace.

Yuan Huang asked, "Now that Ancestor Dragon and First Kirin have both broken through, what should we do?"

Long Zang said gravely, "Prepare for war."

Yuan Huang sighed. "Can we still not escape it? I have long since lost any desire to vie for supremacy in the Primordial World. I only want to protect this corner of the Southern Region."

But she understood that if Ancestor Dragon and First Kirin wanted to rule all, the Phoenix Clan would always be an obstacle they could not bypass.

Even if she was willing to submit, they would never trust her.

Who could tolerate two Sublime Saint clans lurking at their side, watching them like tigers?

Long Zang nodded. "Make arrangements for the clan's elite and its promising young members. We must minimize our losses."

Yuan Huang considered this, then asked, "Could we ally with Shen Ni?"

Long Zang paused, then his expression darkened.

The Ferocious Beast Clan had remained dormant ever since its defeat in the previous era. Shen Ni had not shown himself either, and Long Zang had almost forgotten he existed.

"If we can ally with Shen Ni, he could be a valuable ally," Long Zang said slowly. "But the Ferocious Beasts are suffering the backlash of Karma. We don't know what state they're in."

Yuan Huang was resolute. "We have to try. I may have no desire to vie for supremacy, but since war is unavoidable, we must at least fight for our people's survival."

Long Zang nodded, but cautioned her, "Be careful in the Western Region. That's Luohu's territory."

Yuan Huang's expression tightened. She had never forgotten what Long Zang once told her... Luohu was the deepest hidden hand in the Primordial World.

Long Zang said, "Luohu's forces have always been in the Western Region. No one has noticed them. And don't forget those Phoenix Clan members who were corrupted by demonic energy."

Yuan Huang's heart jolted, and her expression gradually turned grave.

Long Zang said coldly, "Luohu became a Sublime Saint a long time ago."

Yuan Huang took a deep breath. If that was true, then sooner or later, the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan would face a calamity.

Meanwhile, in the Endless Sea.

Ancestor Dragon gazed toward the Eastern and Northern Regions and said coldly, "This ends now."

Countless Dragon Clan troops converged, surging like a tide.

No one had expected Ancestor Dragon to launch an attack so eagerly, just after breaking through to Sublime Saint.

His target was neither the Phoenixes nor the Kirins, but the alliance between Yin-Yang and Qiankun.

Among all the hegemonic forces, only they lacked a Sublime Saint to lead them. They were the weakest.

How could Ancestor Dragon pass up such an opportunity?

Calamity Qi spread across heaven and earth, and the aura of slaughter swept through the Primordial World.

This time, the Dragon-Phoenix Immeasurable Calamity truly began.

The conflicts before this had been little more than skirmishes. Now the real bloodshed and flames had begun.

The battlefield was littered with corpses of gods and demons, and rivers of blood flowed across the ground.

Ancestor Dragon descended, his draconic might sweeping across the land. He coldly uttered a single word:

"Die!"

He raised a hand and pointed. The heavens shattered, and the Star River crumbled to dust.

Yin-Yang Ancestor's body shattered on the spot, and a mist of blood spread across the Nine Heavens!

At that moment, the full force of Ancestor Dragon's might was on display.

Without the slightest hesitation, he simply pointed a finger. Space-Time was instantly annihilated, his divine might shook all worlds, and even the Celestial Vault trembled beneath its weight.

The Yin Yang Two Qi were instantly ground away, while the Taiji Diagram spun wildly high above.

Yin-Yang Ancestor's figure coalesced once more, but his face had turned terribly grim.

He had always been an extremely proud man, and deep down, he had looked down on Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Huang, First Kirin, and the rest of the so-called "Three Innate Races."

In his eyes, those scaled and feathered beings were no different from the Ferocious Beasts of the previous era, and they were far inferior to Innate Demon Gods like him, who had been born in response to the Great Dao.

This arrogance was practically a common failing among Innate Demon Gods, much like Yuanshi Tianzun in later generations... always looking down on everyone!

"Surrender and submit to me. Then I'll spare your life."

Ancestor Dragon's voice rang across heaven and earth. He was domineering and peerless, regarding himself as the sole ruler, utterly indifferent to Yin-Yang Ancestor's ashen expression.

"Ancestor Dragon!!!"

Yin-Yang's eyes nearly spat fire, his fury blazing through the Nine Heavens.

He wanted Yin-Yang Ancestor to bow and admit defeat? Absurd!

What's more, it was Ancestor Dragon... a being he had never looked up to!

"Never!!!"

His roar shook the four corners of the world. Yin-Yang Ancestor's pride had been thoroughly set ablaze.

Ancestor Dragon's eyes were cold. "Then die!"

His gaze flashed, and killing intent surged like a tide.

Since his opponent refused to submit, he would never let a potential threat live.

"Eight Desolations Annihilation!!"

Ancestor Dragon reached out with a dragon claw. Countless Dao Principles flowed forth, and Destruction Divine Light enveloped heaven and earth.

The enormous dragon claw came crashing down. The Star River shattered, and countless worlds rose and fell without end, while its murderous momentum stretched boundlessly!

At that very moment, a wave from the Heavenly Dao suddenly descended.

"Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Light!"

A cold voice rang out. First Heaven appeared in the void, and tribulation light surged like an ocean, sweeping through heaven and earth.

Ancestor Dragon merely sneered. "You're not qualified!"

His draconic eyes shone with the light of ages, his Divine Power boundless, as his dragon claw continued to press down.

Yin-Yang roared, "Yin-Yang Chaos!!"

Endless qi poured upward into the sky. Space-Time reversed, the years fell into disarray, and the entire universe seemed to flow backward.

But in the next instant...

The dragon claw crashed down!

Yin-Yang Ancestor's body exploded on the spot, the blood mist reddening the Nine Heavens. Even First Heaven was destroyed along with him.

Qiankun Ancestor watched from afar, sighing inwardly.

"The gap between a Supreme Expert and a Sublime Saint... is actually this vast."

In his heart, the scales tipped decisively toward Ancestor Dragon.

Ancestor Dragon took one step forward, and all Dao trembled. The power of Return to Ruins erupted.

"Die!!!"

His killing intent surged like an ocean, nearly grinding the origins of Yin-Yang and First Heaven into nothing.

"No! I shall endure for all eternity!!!"

Yin-Yang roared in defiance as the two qi gathered once more, his body attempting to re-form.

Ancestor Dragon snorted. "You're an ant. How dare you cry out against the heavens?"

His roar shattered heaven and earth, and the body Yin-Yang had just re-formed collapsed once again.

"The dead are destined to sink into oblivion. Your fate is to fall forever!"

Demonic sound surged through the worlds, resonating everywhere. A Taboo Divine Ability erupted, its boundless power of slaughter sweeping away all creation.

Amid the demonic sound, the origins of Yin-Yang and First Heaven gradually withered, as though they truly would sink into oblivion.

In the Western Region, Luohu watched this scene in silence, his eyes flickering.

Should he intervene?

Yin-Yang and First Heaven had some value, but they were nowhere near as important as Ancestor Dragon.

A direct confrontation with Ancestor Dragon now would bring more loss than gain.

After a moment's thought, he ultimately chose to stand by.

"Daoist Hongjun, save me!!!"

Yin-Yang called out in a voice filled with fear.

At Jade Capital Mountain, Hongjun opened his eyes and sighed. "Alas..."

In the next instant, he appeared in the void.

"Daoist Ancestor Dragon, would you spare him this once, for my sake?"

Ancestor Dragon narrowed his draconic eyes. "Hongjun, you want to save him?"

Hongjun nodded, his tone mild. "I once discussed the Dao with Yin-Yang, so we're friends. From now on, I guarantee he won't interfere with you again."

Ancestor Dragon fell into thought.

If he agreed, he would owe Hongjun a favor. If he refused, he would make an enemy of Hongjun on the spot.

Hongjun might be discreet, but he was still a Sublime Saint. There was no need to make an enemy of an opponent like that.

After a moment, Ancestor Dragon said gravely, "Very well. I'll do it for your sake this time."

Hongjun smiled. "Thank you. I'll owe you a karmic debt."

Ancestor Dragon nodded, and his figure vanished from the void.
