Though he was far away, the waves of energy that kept surging toward him still made Li Xuan stagger.
This was a battle between Golden Immortals.
Looking closely,
he saw that the middle-aged man being surrounded, named Huang Hu, was covered in blood.
The five others surrounding him wore cruel expressions. Every one of them was bloodthirsty!
"You filthy bugs! I'm of the Beast Clan! Why would I ever surrender to you? And you Mottled Birds, teaming up with a bunch of bugs! You'll suffer the backlash one day! You'll all die!!"
Huang Hu was clearly at the end of his rope. As he fought back furiously, none of the five dared approach him carelessly.
"Hmph. Kill him and divide him up to feast on."
"Those are the delusions of a dying man!"
"If he won't surrender, then kill him!"
At Huang Hu's words, the five stopped holding back!
Although all five were Golden Immortals at Level One or Two,
it was still easy enough for five of them to gang up on a Golden Immortal Level Five like Huang Hu.
"Now that's a fight, tsk, tsk..."
Far away, Li Xuan quietly hid himself and watched the battle ahead, his face alight with excitement as he clicked his tongue.
It was a pity he didn't have a bucket of popcorn with him.
This was an absolute visual feast! No blockbuster could match the realism.
But it was fine. He'd picked a few delicious, bright-red Spirit Fruits along the way. He could eat those instead.
As the saying went, onlookers never minded when things got rough. Even when someone was killed, they'd only clap and shout, "That was awesome!"
But that was only true when the fighters were more or less evenly matched...
If a bunch of big shots were fighting and a nobody like you went to watch, you were just asking to die...
So Li Xuan had only watched for a little while when one of the five beings surrounding Huang Hu suddenly charged straight at him!
"You puny Beast Clan ant! What are you looking at!?"
Amid the overwhelming killing intent, that was the only voice Li Xuan could hear.
With a plop, the fruit in Li Xuan's hand fell to the ground.
He was stunned.
"Fuck!"
On Mount Taixuan, Li Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and cursed, "Damn you! You'll all pay! Just you wait!!"
After that, he sprang up, intending to rush to the battlefield and kill those beings.
But after only a few steps, he slowed down and stroked his chin, muttering, "It'd be too risky to go as my Original Self. If I die, it'll all be over for good. No, no..."
As he spoke, he turned and walked back to the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus Platform. Sitting down, he formed another hand seal and condensed a clone.
The clone snorted coldly, picked up the Qiankun Diagram, and set off to settle the score.
But after only a few steps, the clone muttered, "Hmm... but if I die again, I'll lose the Qiankun Diagram..."
After thinking it over for a while, the clone sighed. "Forget it. Better to let bygones be bygones. It's only a clone, after all... Hmm! They can consider themselves lucky!"
With that, the clone put the Qiankun Diagram back beside the Original Self and said, "This time, I'll head south! Surely I won't run into so many ruthless characters again."
The clone took to the sky once more, this time heading south of Mount Taixuan.
The flight was much like his trip westward. He went several days without seeing a single person, and the route seemed even more desolate than the west.
"How did a war turn things this bad?"
Li Xuan knew, of course, why everything was so bleak. It had to be because of the calamity.
He just hadn't expected this great calamity to be so bloody.
It seemed that most of the Primordial Beings had gathered in the west, where Kirin Mountain was...
He continued flying onward.
After another day or two, signs of life gradually began to appear.
This time, Li Xuan had learned his lesson. Whenever he saw a fight, he stopped far away and watched quietly.
Sure enough, this method let his clone survive for more than ten extra days!
But sometimes, wanting to live wasn't enough to make it happen.
One day, Li Xuan heard the sounds of fighting from far away and decided to head over.
But before he could take more than a few steps, a massive chain of fire came crashing down from the sky...
Without even realizing it, he had wandered into the range of a battle between Grand Unity Golden Immortals...
So the shockwave alone was enough to kill him...
"Damn... That's brutal... The Primordial Wilderness is full of danger!"
Opening his eyes, Li Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.
But this time, he wasn't angry about dying. He immediately formed another hand seal and condensed another clone.
As it turned out, when a clone died, it also affected the main body.
After all, the clone was condensed from spiritual energy, so its death cost the main body some of that energy, about one-thousandth.
But to Li Xuan, that tiny amount of spiritual energy was nothing!
There was as much spiritual energy as anyone could want in the Primordial Wilderness.
If Li Xuan's talent hadn't been so poor, he would have broken through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, reached Primordial Golden Immortal, or even become a Quasi-Saint over these hundreds of thousands of years!
This was a classic case of having all the resources in the world and still being useless...
The clone set out again, this time heading north!
This time was even worse...
After only three or four days, a Golden Immortal big shot set his sights on Li Xuan.
He chased him down and slapped him to death, all because Li Xuan had taken the form of a Beast Clan member...
What the hell? I'm a Beast Clan member?
I'm a human! A noble human!
Li Xuan opened his eyes and cursed under his breath, then formed another hand seal...
From then on, Li Xuan began the miserable business of using clones to scout the way...
His clones headed in every direction. Some survived only a few days, others for dozens of days or even months. Eventually, they could survive for a year, or two...
Over the course of several thousand years, the area Li Xuan had explored grew larger and larger.
At the same time, he learned more and more.
By now, the general state of the entire Primordial Wilderness had taken shape.
The Scaled Tribe and the flying birds had joined forces to attack the Beast Clan!
The Beast Clan had simply grown too numerous!
Ancestor Dragon and Yuanfeng had grown wary of them. In secret, they joined forces to first wipe out the Beast Clan's leader, Prime Kirin, and then settle which of them was stronger!
Thus, the Beast Clan, once the strongest of the three factions, was now being crushed and suffering casualties everywhere.
But the Beast Clan's resistance was fierce. Led by Prime Kirin, they fought back with all their might!
The entire Primordial Wilderness was consequently engulfed in war, with killing intent everywhere!
No wonder beings like Bright Rabbit considered the area around Mount Taixuan a peaceful paradise.
For one thing, Mount Taixuan was a barren land of harsh mountains and poor soil.
For another, the Grand Profound Illusory Realm Array protected the area and kept every trace of energy from leaking out.
No one could sense that there were Beast Clan beings here.
One day,
Li Xuan's clone cautiously flew forward, keeping low to the ground.
He'd learned a thing or two from all those deaths.
This clone had survived for nearly fifteen years!
He couldn't let it die for nothing, or he'd have to set out from Mount Taixuan all over again...
By now, he'd traveled a distance he couldn't even measure from Mount Taixuan. This time, he was heading west!
"Rumble!"
A roar suddenly rang out ahead. Li Xuan ducked and hurriedly descended.
At the same time, he concealed his presence completely and crept forward bit by bit.
In the sky ahead, a Luan Bird and a massive Flood Dragon were locked in a fierce battle!
Both were powerful beings at Golden Immortal Level Ten!
Now that the Beast Clan had fallen into decline and Prime Kirin was being suppressed at Kirin Mountain, nearly on the verge of extinction,
the conflict between the flying birds and the Scaled Tribe had also begun to grow more intense.
After all, this was the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, not the Beast Clan Calamity. Once the two sides had joined forces in the early stages to wipe out the Beast Clan's power,
the next step was their all-out struggle to the death.
Just by watching the Luan Bird and the Flood Dragon fighting in the sky, it was clear that the two sides, once allies,
were now on the verge of breaking apart for good!
