The treasure that countless living beings fought over, even the Three Clan Leaders of the Primordial Races and Beast God Huang Ni personally joining the fray—such a treasure was actually looked down upon by Xie Fang.
If they knew the expression on Xie Fang's face, they might just spit out a mouthful of old blood.
And just after Xie Fang snatched the treasure and left, the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, triggered by this very opportunity, officially began!
All across the Primordial World, slaughter erupted.
The Three Primordial Clans and their affiliated Primordial Races clashed with the Ferocious Beast Clan upon the earth. The battlefield where they had originally fought over the spiritual treasure was clearly no longer enough to contain them.
The two sides fought, rivers of blood flowing.
The Ferocious Beast Clan were the abandoned children of the Heavenly Dao, while the Three Primordial Clans, now favored by the Heavenly Dao, saw their strength grow rapidly with the tide of fate.
As one side waxed and the other waned, at the war's outset, the Ferocious Beast Clan seemed to hold the upper hand, with the Primordial Races resisting with all their might.
Xie Fang, naturally, did not idle during this time. Relying on his Quasi-Saint mid-stage Cultivation Base, he rampaged across the entire Primordial World, slaughtering and plundering.
After the divine might he displayed during the earlier struggle for the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, few in the Primordial World did not know Xie Fang's name. Often, the moment he arrived at a battlefield, the fighting living beings and ferocious beasts would panic and scatter in all directions.
But since Xie Fang had made his move, there was no reason to let his prey escape. In no time, his Experience Points skyrocketed.
As for the Sha Qi on the battlefield, Xie Fang was startled to discover that the Nine Demon Pagoda was automatically devouring it in great gulps!
What's more, Xie Fang could clearly sense that as the Tribulation began, the 'momentum' around him was gradually growing stronger.
This 'momentum' was none other than the fortune of heaven and earth!
One battle lasted a full hundred thousand years!
In those hundred thousand years, the Three Primordial Clans led the Primordial Races in a bloody struggle against the Ferocious Beast Clan led by Beast God Huang Ni.
As one side waxed and the other waned, even Beast God Huang Ni, wielding the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure World-Destroying Millstone, could not withstand the ever-increasing strength of the Three Primordial Clans.
Moreover, the Three Primordial Clans were the protagonists of the next Tribulation, blessed with the fortune of heaven and earth, and possessed no small number of treasures themselves.
Thus, Beast God Huang Ni gradually showed signs of decline.
The light on the World-Destroying Millstone also slowly dimmed.
Huang Ni naturally felt this.
But he had a general understanding of this grand trend of heaven and earth, so he did not complain too much about fate.
However, what made him want to curse was that the Sha Qi, which only ferocious beasts needed to devour, was also gradually decreasing!
Damn it, which bastard was so utterly despicable?
Even the Sha Qi that the Ferocious Beast Clan needed most was being snatched away!
In the eyes of living beings from other races in the Primordial World, Sha Qi was foul air, tainted and unlucky.
But in the eyes of the Ferocious Beast Clan, foul air was a great tonic!
Otherwise, Huang Ni wouldn't have been bored enough to stir up a war in the Primordial World.
Unfortunately, now, Huang Ni could never have imagined that the foul air he had started the war to collect was being secretly siphoned off by someone else!
"Why is this happening? Heaven is unjust! Why do you treat me like this!"
Feeling the Sha Qi between heaven and earth continuously draining away, Huang Ni roared at the sky, lamenting the unfairness of his fate!
Of course, the mastermind behind the scenes, Xie Fang, knew nothing of this. As he killed living beings and ferocious beasts, the Nine Demon Pagoda in his bosom ceaselessly absorbed the Sha Qi, growing stronger.
A hundred thousand years later.
Beast God Huang Ni's fortune gradually faded with the passage of time.
And the Sha Qi between heaven and earth was no longer sufficient to sustain Huang Ni's solo challenge against the Three Primordial Clans.
As for Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin, they fought more fiercely under the blessing of heaven and earth's fortune. Besieging Huang Ni with overwhelming force, his aura gradually withered.
In the end, even Huang Ni's most relied-upon treasure, the World-Destroying Millstone, shattered with a thunderous boom!
At this point, there was no hope of turning the tide!
Huang Ni's cold and hateful gaze swept across the entire Primordial Continent. Gradually, he began to accept reality.
But if he was going to lose, he wouldn't let them off easy!
"Even if This Emperor dies, I will drag you all down with me!"
As he spoke, Huang Ni gathered all his power, his form suddenly swelling, blotting out the sky and covering the sun!
"Not good, he's going to self-destruct his Primordial Spirit!"
Yuan Feng's eyes sharpened, and his figure abruptly retreated!
In fact, there was no need for him to speak; Ancestral Dragon and Shi Qilin were already pouring all their power into retreating at full speed!
One must understand, although Huang Ni's aura was withered, he was still a genuine Quasi-Saint at the peak!
A peak Quasi-Saint's self-destruction was no joke!
Finally...
Boom—
Beyond the nine clouds, in the thirty-third heaven, across the Primordial Land, a sudden explosion of sound erupted!
Then, a terrifying wave of sound swept outward, shattering the heavens and shaking billions of stars.
This self-detonation's sound wave lasted for several days.
And upon the Primordial Land, following Huang Ni's self-destruction, a torrent of bloody rain poured down!
A stench of rot rode the howling wind, staining every inch of the Primordial Land.
"Beast God Huang Ni has finally fallen..."
Soon, this news spread throughout the Primordial world.
The countless races of the Primordial were overjoyed, cheering and leaping in celebration.
With Huang Ni fallen, could the destruction of the Ferocious Beast Clan be far behind?
This also meant that the Ferocious Beast Tribulation was finally over.
With Huang Ni's fall, the surviving ferocious beasts howled in madness and fury, one after another.
However, their strength was naturally insufficient to resist the Primordial Races. Led by the Three Clan Leaders, the Ferocious Beast Clan was either killed or driven into flight.
Of course, under the protection of the Heavenly Dao, although the Primordial Races had won, it was a bitter victory.
With the tribulation ended, peace and harmony reigned between heaven and earth.
Celestial music drifted softly, auspicious clouds filled the sky, golden lotuses surged, and heavenly flowers rained down.
The Heavenly Dao bestowed Merit, scattering it across the four corners of the Primordial Land.
Among this, the Three Clans received the largest share of Merit. Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin used this Heavenly Dao Merit to step into the peak of Quasi-Saint, only a single step away from attaining enlightenment and becoming a Saint.
The countless races of the Primordial divided the Merit among themselves. On the surface, the Three Clans took the largest share, but they also had the greatest number of members.
Outside the Three Clans, however, Xie Fang was quietly reaping a fortune.
He was alone, and the Merit he obtained did not need to be shared with anyone. Thus, the Merit he gained was no less than that of the Three Clan Leaders.
After absorbing all this Merit into his body, Xie Fang immediately felt refreshed and greatly benefited.
Although this was his first time receiving Merit, he understood its wondrous uses.
It could be used directly to enhance his Cultivation Base, or it could be used to empower his treasures and raise their grade.
His own cultivation could be increased by killing living beings, but Merit was not so easy to come by.
Thus, without any hesitation, Xie Fang poured all the Merit he had gained from this method into the Pure World White Lotus and his true form, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler.
