Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler's attacks came one after another, growing ever more powerful and fierce. Xie Fang held nothing back, determined to kill Yin-Yang Ancestor!
"Damn it! This fellow is actually this powerful. If this keeps up, I'm afraid I'll never find a chance to escape!"
Yin-Yang Ancestor's expression changed. With his life on the line, his thoughts raced.
"The only thing I can do now is..."
Having made up his mind, Yin-Yang Ancestor gritted his teeth. His full power surged into motion, pouring completely into the Yin-Yang Two Energies!
Suddenly!
The Yin-Yang Two Energies blazed with light, unleashing a vast, dazzling radiance!
Meanwhile, Yin-Yang Ancestor's true form abruptly shot away!
He planned to abandon the Yin-Yang Two Energies in exchange for a chance to survive!
But how could Xie Fang simply let him go?
"Hmph. Trying to run?"
With a cold snort, Xie Fang waved his hand. A towering pagoda wreathed in dense Demonic Qi suddenly appeared, circling above Yin-Yang Ancestor and closing in around him!
"This is... the Nine Demon Pagoda?! How did it end up in your hands?!"
Yin-Yang Ancestor had just tried to flee when the Nine Demon Pagoda trapped him!
The Nine Demon Pagoda's greatest uses were cultivating demonic arts and imprisoning people!
Even though Yin-Yang Ancestor was a Quasi-Saint, he could hardly break free of the Nine Demon Pagoda's restraints!
Xie Fang kept moving. The Heaven-Measuring Ruler suddenly slashed down!
One strike turned heaven and earth upside down, cleaving through the void!
Pfft—
With a muffled sound, Yin-Yang Ancestor, trapped inside the Nine Demon Pagoda and no longer protected by the Yin-Yang Two Energies, was instantly cut in two by the Heaven-Measuring Ruler!
Then his Primordial Spirit flew out!
"No! Don't kill me! I'll give you the Yin-Yang Diagram, and all my treasures too..."
Even Yin-Yang Ancestor's true form couldn't escape the Nine Demon Pagoda's control. How could a mere Primordial Spirit manage it?
Seeing Xie Fang's icy, death-god expression, Yin-Yang Ancestor's Primordial Spirit panicked completely.
"If I kill you, your treasures will be mine anyway!"
Without another word, Xie Fang brought the ruler down as Yin-Yang Ancestor begged for his life!
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have killed Yin-Yang Ancestor and gained 900 million Experience Points."
The system's voice rang out. Xie Fang was stunned. "Holy crap! Killing a Quasi-Saint gives me 900 million Experience Points!"
Before Xie Fang could check the system, the Yin-Yang Two Energies, having lost their master, seemed to become sentient and tried to flee. Xie Fang snatched them up and stuffed them into the Nine Demon Pagoda!
On Yin-Yang Ancestor's corpse lay a fragment of a diagram.
It was the Yin-Yang Diagram!
After putting it away, Xie Fang didn't even glance at Yin-Yang Ancestor. Instead, he looked into the distance.
He could sense that after he killed Yin-Yang Ancestor, the "momentum" between heaven and earth seemed to be quietly shifting.
The forces driving the entire Ferocious Beast Tribulation sensed it too.
Someone had killed Yin-Yang Ancestor!
After all, Yin-Yang Ancestor was a Quasi-Saint. His death immediately shook everyone in the Primordial World!
Once they deduced who had killed him, the various powers reacted differently.
Ancestral Dragon, Shi Qilin, and Demon Ancestor Luohu all had grudges against Xie Fang. Now that they knew he had killed Yin-Yang Ancestor, they also learned where he was!
They had been searching for Xie Fang all these years. Now that they had finally received word of him, they naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by!
East Sea.
Inside the Ancestral Dragon Palace.
Ancestral Dragon's face was furious. After making his deductions, he sprang to his feet. "You vile wretch! You've been hiding for so long, and now you've finally shown yourself!"
His voice seethed with uncontrollable rage!
At the same time, in the Kirin Clan's territory at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, Shi Qilin had learned what Xie Fang looked like after he killed three members of the Kirin Clan all those years ago.
Now that he had learned of Xie Fang's whereabouts, he immediately issued an Imperial Decree: "Hear my command! Send one Quasi-Saint and ten Grand Unity Golden Immortals at once, carrying my Innate Spiritual Treasure. Go and suppress this man, and avenge our clansmen!"
One of the three Kirin Xie Fang had killed was the Great Elder's child. Given the Great Elder's standing in the Kirin Clan, it was easy for him to make Shi Qilin hold a grudge against Xie Fang over the matter.
So as soon as Shi Qilin issued the Imperial Decree, the Kirin Clan's experts set out!
Among the Devils.
Demon Ancestor Luohu hated Xie Fang so much that his teeth ground together. Xie Fang had snatched away the Nine Demon Pagoda, which Luohu had coveted for ages. Luohu could have devoured Xie Fang alive.
Now that he had suddenly learned of Xie Fang's whereabouts, he sprang to his feet. He didn't dispatch any experts from his clan; he went himself!
After all, though he had many Devil Subjects under his command, they lacked top-tier fighters.
Against an expert like Xie Fang, only Luohu himself could go!
These fellows were blinded by hatred and couldn't care less that the Ferocious Beast Tribulation was raging at its most critical point.
Only the Phoenix Clan, which had stayed out of things all along, remained apart. But when its leader, Yuanfeng, learned that Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin were sending out their clans' experts despite the perilous situation, she could no longer sit still.
"Clan leaders, this matter requires careful consideration. Don't let anger cloud your judgment."
As a Quasi-Saint, Yuanfeng could easily send her divine sense to Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin.
The three clans had clashed with one another before, but when the Ferocious Beast Clan rampaged across the Primordial World, they had temporarily ceased hostilities and joined forces to fight them.
"I just sensed Yin-Yang Ancestor's death, and I know of the grudge between you two and that being called Xie Fang. But when I divined his fate, I discovered that his fortune is profound. He may be key to the Tribulation. You mustn't—"
Before Yuanfeng could finish, Ancestral Dragon cut in furiously. "That monster killed countless experts of the Dragon Clan! It's a fight to the death!"
Shi Qilin nodded and also communicated with Yuanfeng through divine sense. "Exactly. That monster killed our Kirin Clan's people at the foot of Buzhou Mountain all those years ago. This grudge can never be forgiven!"
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin, Yuanfeng couldn't help sighing.
Under a great calamity, simply staying alive was already fortunate. Since she couldn't talk the two of them out of it, Yuanfeng 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 want to live, flee at once!"
Yuanfeng meant well. The great calamity was coming, and she couldn't bear to see Xie Fang fall. Besides, Xie Fang was a Quasi-Saint. If he really fought the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan, neither clan would come away unscathed. What would happen then when the Ferocious Beast Clan attacked?
To disregard the greater picture over a few minor grudges—Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin were truly foolish!
Xie Fang was startled when he heard Yuanfeng's message through divine sense. "This is... Yuanfeng?"
He was curious.
His cultivation had now reached the Quasi-Saint realm, but he couldn't precisely locate someone in the Primordial World and send them a message through divine sense.
Yuanfeng could do it. Did that mean the three clans from the era of creation possessed some technique or divine ability he didn't know about?
As for Yuanfeng's warning, Xie Fang didn't take it to heart.
If the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan didn't come, so be it. If they did, he'd simply reap some more Experience Points.
