Rumble—
Then, a deafening boom suddenly rang across the Primordial World. The sheer commotion drew the attention of every top expert in the land.
A million miles away from Xie Fang, a burst of treasure light suddenly shot forth, scattering in every direction!
At the same time, beams of spiritual energy surged into the sky, illuminating the entire Primordial World in an instant!
"This is a sign that a supreme treasure is about to appear!"
Xie Fang furrowed his brow. Judging by the scale of the phenomenon, the treasure was at least an Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Of course, Xie Fang wasn't the only one who sensed the disturbance. The other powerful beings across the Primordial World felt it too, and they all grew excited!
"An Innate Spiritual Treasure is appearing. How could I miss out? Besides, there's bound to be a great battle when everyone fights over it. I can harvest another wave of Experience Points."
After a moment's thought, Xie Fang decided to go and see what all the fuss was about.
Over the years, he had killed many Ferocious Beasts and powerful members of other races, but none of them had been top-tier experts. He was growing tired of killing weak creatures for Experience Points.
It was troublesome, and the Experience Points he gained were negligible.
With his current Quasi-Saint cultivation, killing a Grand Unity Golden Immortal earned him very few Experience Points.
If he wanted to harvest more, he had to go after something big!
Without delay, Xie Fang tore through space and raced toward the place where the treasure had appeared!
Meanwhile, across the Primordial World, the reclusive primordial experts had also witnessed the scene. One by one, they were filled with excitement.
"An Innate Spiritual Treasure has appeared!"
"The Primordial World has only just begun, and opportunities are everywhere. This treasure will be mine!"
"I will have it, no matter what!"
The primordial experts exclaimed, then mounted their divine light and sped toward the place where the treasure had appeared.
The treasure's radiance also drew powerful beings from the great clans.
After all, who wouldn't want a treasure?
As Xie Fang tore through space, he had already spotted many experts rushing toward the site, riding divine light of every color. It was quite a spectacular sight.
Some of them were even Quasi-Saints!
Xie Fang recognized some of these experts by name, but there were many more he had never even heard of.
They must have lived in the Primordial World, only to perish without leaving so much as a ripple in the river of history.
With Xie Fang's cultivation, it didn't take him long to cross the void and reach the place where the treasure had appeared.
By then, many experts had already gathered there. None of them paid any attention to Xie Fang; instead, they gazed into a bottomless canyon.
Auspicious vapors rose from the canyon as Spiritual Qi gathered, forming clouds that drifted above it. Fragrant aromas filled the air.
After arriving, the experts quietly waited for the treasure to appear, each on guard against others snatching it—or preparing to seize it first themselves.
Boom—
Just then, a deafening rumble came from the canyon's abyss, as though a ferocious beast were roaring below!
As the rumble sounded, the mountains and earth within a radius of a million miles surged upward, as if some immense force beneath them were pushing them up.
The experts and Xie Fang frowned in unison, rose into the air, and hovered above the ground, silently watching the canyon's abyss.
At that moment, an incredibly mysterious aura poured forth from the canyon's depths!
Buzz—
At the same time, the Spiritual Qi gathered in the sky surged wildly. Thick bolts of lightning writhed like serpents, their destructive light tearing through the firmament as they struck the canyon's abyss!
"This is... a treasure appearing!"
As a terrifying wave of energy surged from the abyss, brilliant treasure light burst forth!
"The spiritual treasure has appeared! Grab it!"
Someone shouted.
Immediately, countless experts surged forward, each using their own methods to rush into the canyon's abyss.
"Get lost! This treasure belongs to the Kirin Clan!"
A sharp rebuke rang out, booming like thunder in everyone's ears!
A tremendously powerful presence followed, spreading wildly!
A massive seal, as huge as a mountain, descended from the sky!
A Kirin was engraved upon it, surrounded by dazzling treasure light!
A Kirin Clan elder had made his move, trying to seize the spiritual treasure!
"This treasure is destined for our Dragon Clan. All of you, get lost—or you'll die without a corpse!"
At that moment, a resonant dragon's roar rang out. A broad, long sword descended from the sky, cleaving through the air!
A Dragon Clan expert had come to seize the newly appeared treasure.
Although the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan were allies, their alliance existed only to fight the Ferocious Beasts. They both knew that once the Ferocious Beast Tribulation ended, their only opponents in the Primordial World would be each other!
So now that a rare treasure had appeared, neither the Dragon Clan nor the Kirin Clan would give way!
Before long, experts from the Ferocious Beast Clan arrived as well!
Powerful auras surged into the heavens. The scene erupted into chaos!
"This is getting lively."
Hidden in the void with his aura concealed, Xie Fang watched the scene unfold and couldn't help but chuckle.
The saying that profit moved people held true in the Primordial World as well. Just one Innate Spiritual Treasure had drawn so many powerful beings.
But the Ferocious Beast Clan's arrival had also prompted the experts of the Primordial Races to form a united front against them, with remarkable ease.
After all, though the Primordial Races seemed numerous, they didn't have many powerful experts.
The Ferocious Beast Clan, however, had multiplied for many years and had already reached its peak. The number of Ferocious Beasts arriving now far surpassed the Primordial Races.
So the only way for the Primordial Races to keep fighting over the spiritual treasure was to join forces and defeat the Ferocious Beasts!
"Kill them first, then decide who gets the spiritual treasure!"
Someone shouted, and the two sides were on the verge of clashing!
Even without the treasure, the two sides would have fought as soon as they met. Now, with the treasure as a cause, the battle grew even more brutal.
Xie Fang wasn't idle either.
With both sides fighting fiercely amid the chaos, it was the perfect chance for Xie Fang to fish in troubled waters!
After all, the battling creatures and the Ferocious Beasts alike were nothing but walking Experience Points in his eyes!
He could claim the spiritual treasure anytime, but he wouldn't easily find so many Experience Points gathered in one place!
A fierce battle!
No one could have imagined that the fighting would last a full five hundred years!
The battlefield lay in the northern reaches of the Primordial World, where the Ferocious Beast Clan clashed with the Primordial Races.
The two factions had gathered here, drawn by the treasure's appearance, turning the area into a battlefield. Their forces kept growing, and the scene was utterly staggering!
The Primordial Races under the command of the Primordial Three Races alone numbered no fewer than ten billion living beings!
The Ferocious Beast Clan's numbers were even more astonishing, reaching around a hundred billion!
