Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler struck one blow after another, each fiercer and more violent than the last, showing no mercy whatsoever, determined to slay Old Ancestor Yin-Yang!

"Damn it, this bastard has grown this strong—if this keeps up, I'm afraid I won't find a way to survive!"

Old Ancestor Yin-Yang's face twisted in alarm; facing life and death, his thoughts spun at lightning speed.

"The only option now is..."

With that thought settled, Old Ancestor Yin-Yang gritted his teeth, his entire cultivation base erupting as he poured all his power into the Yin-Yang Two Energies!

Suddenly!

The Yin-Yang Two Energies blazed with light, unleashing a sky-rending radiance!

And at that moment, Old Ancestor Yin-Yang's true body shot away at breakneck speed!

He was willing to abandon the Yin-Yang Two Energies to buy his own survival!

But how could Xie Fang simply let him escape?

"Hmph, trying to flee?"

With a cold snort, Xie Fang waved his hand, and a giant pagoda thick with demonic energy burst forth, spinning to hover above Old Ancestor Yin-Yang's head!

"This is... the Nine Demon Pagoda?! How could it be in your hands?!"

Old Ancestor Yin-Yang had just been about to make his getaway, only to be trapped by the Nine Demon Pagoda!

The pagoda's greatest use lay in cultivating demonic arts and imprisoning foes!

Even a Quasi-Saint like Old Ancestor Yin-Yang found it difficult to break free from the Nine Demon Pagoda's restraints!

Meanwhile, Xie Fang didn't pause—the Sky Measuring Ruler suddenly lashed out!

One strike later, heaven and earth changed color, the void itself split apart!

Pfft—

A dull thud rang out as Old Ancestor Yin-Yang, trapped in the Nine Demon Pagoda and stripped of the Yin-Yang Two Energies' protection, was instantly cleaved in two by the Sky Measuring Ruler!

Immediately after, his Primordial Spirit flew out!

"No, don't kill me—I'll give you the Yin-Yang Diagram, and all my treasures, everything..."

If even Old Ancestor Yin-Yang's true body couldn't escape the Nine Demon Pagoda's control, how could a mere wisp of Primordial Spirit manage it?

Seeing Xie Fang as cold and merciless as a god of slaughter, Old Ancestor Yin-Yang's Primordial Spirit was utterly panicked.

"Kill you, and your treasures will be mine anyway!"

Xie Fang said nothing more; as Old Ancestor Yin-Yang's pleas rang out, he brought the ruler down!

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing Old Ancestor Yin-Yang, gaining Experience Points +9E."

The system's voice chimed, and Xie Fang was taken aback: "Holy shit, killing a Quasi-Saint gives nine hundred million Experience Points!"

Before Xie Fang could check the system, the Yin-Yang Two Energies, having lost their master's life force, seemed to gain a will of their own and tried to flee—but Xie Fang grabbed them and stuffed them into the Nine Demon Pagoda!

On Old Ancestor Yin-Yang's corpse, a rolled-up diagram was exposed.

It was the Yin-Yang Diagram!

After stowing it away, Xie Fang didn't even glance at Old Ancestor Yin-Yang; instead, he turned his gaze into the distance.

He could sense that, after killing Old Ancestor Yin-Yang, the 'momentum' of heaven and earth seemed to be subtly shifting.

And all the driving forces behind the entire Ferocious Beast Tribulation also felt it.

Someone had made a move and killed Old Ancestor Yin-Yang!

After all, he was a Quasi-Saint—his fall immediately alerted everyone in the Primordial World!

And once they deduced who had slain Old Ancestor Yin-Yang, the various factions reacted differently.

The Ancestral Dragon, Shi Qilin, and Devil Ancestor Luohu all had grudges against Xie Fang. Now that they learned Xie Fang had killed Old Ancestor Yin-Yang, they naturally also learned of his whereabouts!

For so many years, they had been searching for Xie Fang; now that they finally had information, they wouldn't let it slip!

East Sea.

Inside the Ancestral Dragon Palace.

The Ancestral Dragon, face full of fury, stood abruptly after his deduction: "What a villain—hiding for so long, finally showing himself!"

His voice carried an irrepressible rage!

At the same time, at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, within the Kirin Clan's territory, Shi Qilin had long since learned Xie Fang's appearance after Xie Fang killed three Kirin clan members back then.

Now that he had news of Xie Fang, he immediately issued an Imperial Decree: "Spread my command—dispatch one Quasi-Saint and ten Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals immediately, carrying my Innate Spiritual Treasure, to go and suppress this man, avenging our clan's children!"

Among the three Kirins Xie Fang had killed back then was the offspring of the Great Elder. Given the Great Elder's status in the Kirin Clan, making Shi Qilin hold a grudge against Xie Fang was a trivial matter.

So, upon receiving this Imperial Decree from Shi Qilin, the experts of the Kirin Clan mobilized at once!

Within the Devil Clan.

Devil Ancestor Luohu also gnashed his teeth in hatred toward Xie Fang. Having coveted the Nine Demon Pagoda for so long, only to have Xie Fang snatch it away, Luohu could barely contain his desire to devour Xie Fang alive.

Now, suddenly learning of Xie Fang's whereabouts, he shot to his feet. Instead of dispatching his clan's experts, he set out personally!

After all, though he had many Devil Subjects under his command, their top-tier combat strength simply couldn't keep up.

To deal with an expert like Xie Fang, only he himself—personally—would suffice!

These fellows, blinded by vengeance, paid no heed to the fact that this was the severe period of the Ferocious Beast Tribulation's great eruption.

Only the Phoenix Clan, who had always remained aloof, saw their clan leader Yuan Feng grow restless upon learning that Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin had mobilized their clan experts despite the dire situation.

"Two clan leaders, this matter warrants discussion. Please, do not give in to anger."

As a Quasi-Saint powerhouse, Yuan Feng could easily send a divine sense message to Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin.

Though there had been friction among the three clans, they had previously set aside their conflicts to jointly resist the Ferocious Beast Clan when it ravaged the Primordial World.

"I too have sensed the aura of Old Ancestor Yin-Yang's fall, and I know of the grudges between you two and that living being called Xie Fang. However, when I performed my divination, I discovered that this child's fate is profoundly mysterious—he may be the key to this tribulation. You cannot—"

Before Yuan Feng could finish, Ancestral Dragon burst out explosively: "That fiend has slain countless experts of my Dragon Clan! It's him or us!"

On the other side, Shi Qilin nodded as well, communicating with Yuan Feng through divine sense: "Indeed. That fiend once killed members of my Kirin Clan at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. This blood feud admits no shared sky!"

Seeing that he could not persuade Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin, Yuan Feng could only sigh.

Under the great tribulation of heaven and earth, merely preserving one's life was already fortunate. Since he could not sway the two, Yuan Feng pondered for a moment, then immediately contacted Xie Fang.

"Young one, Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin have issued Imperial Decrees to hunt you down. If you wish to live, flee as quickly as you can!"

Yuan Feng meant well. After all, with the great tribulation approaching, he could not bear to see Xie Fang fall here. Moreover, Xie Fang was at the Quasi-Saint realm—if he truly fought the Dragon and Kirin Clans, those two clans would certainly not come out unscathed. Then how would they deal with the Ferocious Beast Clan?

To disregard the greater situation over mere petty grudges—Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin were truly foolish!

And when Xie Fang heard Yuan Feng's divine sense transmission, he couldn't help but pause: "This is... Yuan Feng?"

At this moment, Xie Fang grew curious.

His Cultivation Base was now at the Quasi-Saint level, yet he could not precisely locate someone in the Primordial World to send a divine sense message.

That Yuan Feng could do so—did it mean that among the Three Founding Clans, there were techniques and divine abilities he did not know of?

As for Yuan Feng's warning, Xie Fang naturally paid it no mind.

If the Dragon and Kirin Clans did not come, so be it. If they did come, he would merely harvest some more Experience Points.
