The two stared each other down, their auras growing stronger.
Luohu spoke. "Luohu."
Long Zang replied, "Long Zang."
In the next instant, Battle Intent erupted!
The clash of metal rang out, shaking the Nine Heavens.
The Destruction Battle Halberd and Demon Sword crashed violently together. Invisible shock waves tore through the void, and the Nine-Layered Firmament teetered on the brink of collapse.
Countless worlds were created and destroyed in an instant. Heaven and earth trembled.
Mount Sumeru rumbled and crumbled, its mountains shaking.
Within the mountain, a Bodhi tree and a Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree shivered and huddled together, nearly obliterated by the shockwaves.
They were the nascent forms of the future Two Sages of the West, and had only just awakened their sentience.
A burning light flashed in Luohu's eyes as he fixed his gaze on Long Zang. "Submit to me!"
Divine Light blazed around Long Zang, his gaze icy.
Submit? He had no such intention!
"Looks like this battle is unavoidable." Long Zang took a deep breath, then said gravely, "We'll fight beyond the heavens!"
Luohu's eyes flickered. Then he transformed into a streak of black light and shot toward the highest heavens.
Long Zang followed close behind.
Fierce Beast Ancestral Court.
Shen Ni was making preparations to establish the Divine Dynasty when he suddenly looked up, gazing into the boundless reaches beyond the heavens. A faint smile curled his lips.
"To think there's such a powerful being in the Primordial World."
Outer Heaven, where the Primordial World met Chaos.
Long Zang and Luohu faced off across the void.
Luohu spoke in a low voice. "I'll ask you one last time. Submit to me, and I can spare your life."
As he spoke, demonic light churned, and layer upon layer of Great Demonic Worlds emerged behind him.
Long Zang's gaze sharpened. His halberd swept across the sky, and an aura of Destruction engulfed the cosmos.
"Beat me first, then we'll talk!"
Luohu laughed furiously, and the Great Demonic Worlds came crashing down.
Each world was as vast and real as a great universe, immeasurably heavy and possessing boundless power!
Long Zang's Six Wings beat, bloodlight erupted, and the battle blood of the Ancestral Witch burned in full.
With a roar, his halberd's shadow became an ancient Giant Dragon, forcibly cleaving apart several Great Demonic Worlds!
In an instant, Long Zang's figure flickered across the boundless void, closing in on Luohu.
A Black Lotus appeared beneath Luohu's feet. The Twelve-grade Destruction Black Lotus unfurled its dark, profound light, sheltering him within.
Killing intent seethed in Long Zang's eyes. Without any flourish, he brought his halberd down!
The will of Destruction poured forth, and billions of beams of Divine Light erupted, crashing down upon the Black Lotus's barrier.
Boom!!!
The Black Lotus's barrier cracked in an instant, then shattered completely!
Luohu's body was hurled trillions upon trillions of miles away. His expression changed drastically, his composure giving way to shock.
He stared at Long Zang in disbelief.
"He actually... shattered the protective light of the Twelve-grade Destruction Black Lotus with brute force?!"
It was inconceivable—something that had never happened before!
Long Zang's gaze was deep as he stared coldly at Luohu. "Is that all?"
Luohu's expression darkened, anger smoldering in his eyes.
He had underestimated Long Zang!
He knew Long Zang's cultivation was on par with his own, but he hadn't expected the man's combat strength to be so terrifying!
In the Primordial World, cultivation realm was one thing, and combat strength another.
The two often couldn't be equated.
Take the Primordial Era, for instance. Those who could reach the Golden Immortal realm back then might not have been defeated even by Da Luo experts in the Immortal Dao system of later ages!
And as for the Da Luo powerhouses of today?
Beings like those were already the strongest in heaven and earth!
Long Zang was like that, and so was Luohu.
Luohu roared, his eyes cold as blades.
"Three Thousand Great Demonic Worlds!"
In an instant, endless demonic shadows appeared behind Luohu. Three thousand Great Demonic Worlds stacked one upon another, while countless demonic disciples chanted demonic incantations in unison.
Rolling demonic might swept across the heavens.
Three thousand Demonic Worlds came crashing down upon Long Zang!
Long Zang's bloodline surged, and the battle blood of the Witch Clan fully awakened.
The Witch Clan had always been a band of lunatics who fought against heaven and earth!
He bared his teeth, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Break!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he charged straight at them!
Luohu froze.
"A madman? He dares to charge into the Three Thousand Demonic Worlds?!"
But in the next instant, he was utterly stunned.
Indestructible Divine Light shone from Long Zang's fleshly body, and an aura of Eternity spread around him. The passage of time had lost all meaning to him; even the changes of countless ages could not shake his existence.
Traces of the Great Dao were interwoven across his body!
Luohu's heart shook with alarm.
"This guy... merged the Great Dao into his fleshly body?! Is he even a living being of the Primordial World? He looks more like a Chaos Demon God!"
"Die!!"
Long Zang roared, his halberd sweeping through the sky as the will of Destruction surged and cleaved through the void!
Countless worlds lived and died in an instant, transforming into brilliant yet terrifying celestial blossoms.
Luohu's face twisted as he roared:
"World-Ending Millstone, appear!"
With a thunderous boom, a pitch-black grinding disc appeared above his head, radiating boundless power of Destruction.
An Innate Supreme Treasure... the World-Ending Millstone!
Heaven and earth fell silent!
The millstone turned, freezing Space-Time and stilling the passage of time. Everything fell silent.
The next moment, terrifying power erupted, turning the entire world into nothingness.
Long Zang's gaze sharpened. He murmured, "The World-Ending Millstone... As expected, he's the Demon Ancestor."
Then he sneered.
"But it's not enough!"
His Six Wings beat, and he appeared before Luohu in an instant, his left hand descending like the Heavenly Blade!
Luohu roared furiously and smashed down the World-Ending Millstone!
Long Zang thrust out a fist. Black Gold Divine Light blazed like billions of black suns rising together, illuminating the void!
Boom!!!
The fist and the millstone collided, unleashing power that could destroy heaven and earth!
Long Zang was blasted away. His left hand was drenched in blood, but it healed completely in the blink of an eye.
The World-Ending Millstone, too, was blasted into the Space-Time turbulence, where it rumbled without end.
Long Zang murmured, "As expected... my fleshly body still isn't strong enough to withstand an Innate Supreme Treasure head-on."
Yet an even fiercer Battle Intent burned in his eyes!
Luohu stared at Long Zang, his expression changing drastically.
"This guy... really isn't a Chaos Demon God?"
His fleshly body had withstood an Innate Supreme Treasure head-on and suffered only minor injuries? It was almost unbelievable!
Long Zang laughed, his Battle Intent surging. "Again!"
The Destruction Battle Halberd swept across Outer Heaven, its aura of Destruction engulfing everything and reducing it to dust.
Luohu's face darkened. The World-Ending Millstone returned, black light churning as it crashed toward Long Zang once more!
Long Zang moved like the wind, tearing through the void and closing in instantly.
He reached out with his right hand and pointed a finger. In a cold voice, he uttered two words:
"Return to Ruins!"
In an instant, an aura of annihilation descended, and boundless nothingness swallowed heaven and earth.
Everything was moving toward its end, dissolving into nothing.
Luohu's expression sank. He shouted, "Senluo Demon Statue!"
Boom!!
A Demon Statue tens of billions of feet tall emerged from the void, with three heads and six arms, ancient and imposing.
It towered above the heavens, with the Star River like dust and all the worlds like sand!
All six demonic palms descended together. Each palm suppressed the myriad worlds of Senluo, hurtling straight toward Long Zang!
"Suppress him!"
Luohu's voice was icy. The myriad worlds of Senluo came crashing down, as if they would bury everything.
"Roar!" Long Zang answered with a furious roar, his Battle Intent blazing.
His body transformed into its true form. His Six Wings spread wide, and black-gold scales covered him from head to toe.
A radiant halo appeared behind his head. Eternal Light shone across all worlds, and his divine nature was immortal!
Heaven and earth fell silent; even sound was ground away.
The six-winged fiend, towering millions of feet tall, forcibly held back the myriad worlds of Senluo.
An aura of Destruction gathered. The halberd rose, cold and merciless.
"Eternal Heavens Great Annihilation!"
Demonic incantations rolled forth, killing intent surged like an ocean, and Space-Time shattered in an instant.
The heavens collapsed. All things fell silent.
Luohu's body was destroyed, but in the next moment, it re-formed. His face was livid.
He stared at Long Zang, wariness in the depths of his eyes.
This power of Destruction had become more than he could bear.
He gave a cold snort, transformed into a streak of black light, and abruptly retreated!
