Dragon Zang stood above the void, a flicker of displeasure crossing his eyes.
His battle blood was still boiling, yet his enemy had left first.
The exhilarating battle had come to an abrupt end, leaving him deeply unsatisfied.
He reined in his aura, transformed into his Pangu Dao Body, and looked around.
This place had been reduced to nothingness, every trace of heaven and earth completely erased.
Dragon Zang knew full well that he was different from Luohu.
Others followed the path of the soul, but he could only follow the path of the flesh.
Devouring and the Great Dao of Destruction were etched into his bloodline like instincts; he didn't need to comprehend them at all.
All he lacked was time, accumulated Magical Power, and a crucial opportunity!
Dragon Zang returned to the Primordial World and began his travels in the Western Land.
In the Primordial World as it stood now, almost nothing could threaten him—except Yang Mei, the reincarnation of the Space Demon God, who gave him pause.
Yang Mei had attained the Dao before Hongjun, making him the first Hunyuan Da Luo in the truest sense. Though he wasn't a Heavenly Dao Sage, he was even more fearsome.
Fortunately, Yang Mei had no desire to contend for supremacy and sought only the Great Dao. Otherwise, the balance of power in the Primordial World would surely have been rewritten.
Elsewhere, at the Ferocious Beast Ancestral Court.
Time flew by, and thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Ni had built a vast and magnificent altar.
The altar spanned a thousand li in every direction and was forged from countless pieces of Innate Dao Jade.
This divine jade could calm the mind, aid comprehension of the Dao, and ward off Inner Demons. It was an exceptionally precious material.
The nine-tiered altar towered high, symbolizing nine as the ultimate number. Countless Ferocious Beast totems were carved into its surface.
Countless Ferocious Beasts crouched below, roaring in unison as their auras converged.
Shen Ni stood at the summit, his gaze cold. His voice echoed across the Primordial World:
"Heavenly Dao above! I am Shen Ni, sovereign of the Ferocious Beast Clan of the Primordial World. Today, I establish the Ferocious Beast Divine Dynasty! Let the God-Slaying Spear suppress its fate, and let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
His voice rolled like thunder, shaking the eight directions!
Ancestor Dragon looked up from the Endless Sea, Yuan Huang paused at the Immortal Volcano, and First Kirin gazed toward the Central Domain. Even the Innate Great Divine Ability Users cultivating in seclusion sensed the surge of boundless fortune at that very moment.
The Heavenly Dao responded!
Deep in the void, an enormous eye appeared, lightning gathering around it. Its gaze was cold and impassive.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao looked down upon the Primordial World!
A long while later, the Eye of Heavenly Dao vanished, and a streak of purple lightning flashed across the Primordial World.
The fortune of the Ferocious Beast Clan gathered, taking the form of a colossal phantom divine beast.
It should have shone with brilliant golden light, but now it was awash in blood-red hues and shrouded in Black mist.
It bore the mark of countless killings and Karma!
The Heavenly Dao bestowed Merit, affirming Shen Ni's achievement in founding the Divine Dynasty and advancing civilization in the Primordial World.
Merit light rained down. Shen Ni waved his hand, and it all flowed into the fortune of his clan.
The blood-red hue and Black mist faded somewhat, but in the end, they couldn't be erased completely.
This merely delayed the Ferocious Beast Clan's downfall.
In the end, they were only buying themselves more time!
As Dragon Zang transplanted an Innate Spiritual Root into the Small World he had opened, he suddenly heard a murmur: "The Ferocious Beast Divine Dynasty?"
News of Shen Ni's founding of the dynasty spread throughout the Primordial World.
Dragon Zang was surprised, but he also thought it made sense.
Gathering a clan's fortune could indeed forcefully boost its strength, but the risks were just as great.
Succeed, and all races would submit. Fail, and the backlash of fortune would leave them unable to rise again.
Whether such a choice was worthwhile depended entirely on one's disposition.
As for the Witch Clan?
Dragon Zang gave them no further thought.
After all, the Witch Clan had yet to emerge, and even the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity hadn't passed. How could anyone speak of founding a dynasty?
Just as he was pondering this, three mighty voices suddenly rang out across heaven and earth.
"I am Ancestor Dragon. Today, I emerge into the world. Let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
"I am Yuan Huang. Today, I emerge into the world. Let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
"I am First Kirin. Today, I emerge into the world. Let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"
Dragon's roar, Phoenix's cry, and Qilin's bellow—three voices shook the entire Primordial World!
Their echoes spread across heaven and earth, announcing their presence to all races.
The timing was truly delicate.
The Ferocious Beast Clan had just founded its dynasty, and now the Three Innate Races had followed suit, declaring their emergence.
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like a direct challenge!
After all, most top Great Supernatural Beings didn't make such a declaration when they emerged.
First, there was no need. Second, it was easy to invite Karma.
Only those truly bent on contending for supremacy would swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and announce themselves to the Primordial World.
The later Twelve Ancestor Witches, the Demon Emperor Di Jun, and the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi had all done the same.
Now, the Three Innate Races had made the same choice.
Clearly, they intended to stand as equals to the Ferocious Beast Clan!
Some races that had been hesitating were already leaning toward joining the Ferocious Beast Clan after it founded its dynasty.
After all, the Ferocious Beast Clan's ambition was practically written across its face. Those who didn't join would be waiting to be wiped out.
But most clans didn't want to be ruled by mindless Ferocious Beasts either.
Now that the Three Innate Races had emerged, they finally had someone else to rely on!
Dragon Zang thought to himself, With the Three Innate Races emerging, the Primordial World is about to get lively.
Time passed like a white stallion glimpsed through a crack.
Over the next several hundred thousand years, Dragon Zang traveled through the Western Land and witnessed the undercurrents churning through the Primordial World.
The clashes between the Three Innate Races and the Ferocious Beasts grew more frequent.
Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Huang, and First Kirin all issued orders to exterminate every mindless Ferocious Beast within their territories, showing no mercy.
Meanwhile, the Ferocious Beast Clan gathered smaller clans throughout the Primordial World on a massive scale, expanding its influence and preparing to contend for complete supremacy.
Shen Ni did nothing to stop them. He even welcomed it.
Though the mindless Ferocious Beasts were useful fighters, they also brought endless Karma.
They were the reason the fortune of the Ferocious Beast Clan was shrouded in gloom.
Now that they were being purged, it actually eased the burden on the clan.
As time went on, the aura of the Great Calamity grew stronger, spreading across heaven and earth.
Dragon Zang looked up at the sky and decisively chose to enter Outer Heaven and step into Chaos.
Chaos had no up or down, no left or right. There was no Space-Time and no order.
Only endless Chaos Qi churned, destruction and rebirth existing side by side.
Dragon Zang reverted to his true form, spreading his Six Wings. His body was like a black hole.
He devoured the boundless Chaos Qi, turning it into power to temper his flesh.
Every scale shimmered with Black Gold Divine Light, growing ever more indestructible.
Time lost all meaning in Chaos.
Suddenly, a strange ray of light crossed through Chaos and silently merged into Dragon Zang's body.
Half-asleep, he vaguely heard a voice:
[Beep! Would you like to join the Myriad Worlds Chat Group?]
Dragon Zang replied instinctively, "Yes."
[Beep! Welcome the thirteen Ancestral Witches to the Chat Group!]
The land of the Primordial World.
Time continued to pass, though it meant little here.
The Ferocious Beast Clan mobilized in full force, setting out from the Western Land on its campaign to conquer the Primordial World.
Shen Ni knew that they had no way back. They could only keep moving forward!
Only by taking complete control of the Western Great Domain could they gather enough fortune to attack other lands.
And in the Western Land, aside from Luohu, there was no one who could stand against Shen Ni.
But Luohu knew very well that Shen Ni and the Three Innate Races were the protagonists of this calamity. If he got involved, he would only invite trouble.
So he simply concealed Mount Sumeru and went into hiding.
At the same time, the three Supreme Experts—Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Huang, and First Kirin—finally met.
They sat together, ready to discuss in earnest...
How to join forces against the Ferocious Beasts!
Ancestor Dragon spoke slowly, his voice low and firm. "The Ferocious Beast Clan can't dominate the Primordial World overnight."
His gaze shifted to Yuan Huang and First Kirin, his eyes profound.
Now that the Three Innate Races had stepped forward, they had openly set themselves against the Ferocious Beasts.
The Ferocious Beasts' ambition was laid bare across the Primordial World. There was no need to say more.
They had begun in the Western Land, intending to gradually devour the entire Primordial World.
Though Ferocious Beasts could be found at the four extremities, being widespread and dominating the world were two different things.
The former meant only that their numbers were vast; the latter required absolute strength.
Yuan Huang said coldly, "If no one stops them, the Ferocious Beasts will eventually unite the world. It's only a matter of time."
She spoke plainly.
But amid the great trends of the Primordial World, unexpected turns often came just when everything seemed inevitable.
And she, Ancestor Dragon, and First Kirin were precisely the turning point!
