It took a full thousand years of flight before Xie Fang finally managed to leave the East Sea Region.

The entire Primordial World was boundless and vast; just one East Sea alone had taken Xie Fang, a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, a thousand years to cross. If he wanted to tour the entire Primordial Continent, who knew how much time that would consume.

Looking at the endless expanse of the Primordial Earth before him, Xie Fang couldn't help but let out a long breath.

The Primordial Heaven and Earth were filled with countless heavenly treasures and earthly rarities—this was an ironclad fact.

However, at this moment, after the baptism of Pangu's creation, the Primordial World was a desolate wasteland. Gray clouds stretched across the sky for billions of miles, thick with the bloody scent of Sha Qi.

The Primordial Earth was currently in an era where ferocious beasts ran rampant!

Compared to those heavenly treasures that required searching for, traces of ferocious beasts could be seen everywhere.

In fact, with just one glance, Xie Fang could see endless ferocious beasts tearing and rampaging!

Wherever they fought, mountains, rivers, and streams were instantly leveled to the ground!

Back when Pangu split open the heavens, the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods had all fallen, leaving endless killing intent and Sha Qi hanging between heaven and earth.

The resentment and grudges formed by the fall of these Demon Gods filled the world, corrupting the minds of living beings.

Countless beings born from heaven and earth could not resist the erosion of these resentful thoughts and Sha Qi, thus becoming ferocious beasts without intelligence, knowing only slaughter.

The current Primordial Continent was in an era of rampant ferocious beasts.

Among them, the myriad races of the Primordial World stood tall, with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans vaguely taking the lead. Yet even these three great races dared not easily set foot across the Primordial World.

However, this Primordial World, which seemed so dangerous in the eyes of others, made Xie Fang's heart race with excitement. He wished he could immediately make his mark!

Because, in Xie Fang's eyes, those densely packed ferocious beasts were nothing but a massive pile of Experience Points!

"Primordial World, I've arrived!"

Suppressing his excited mind, Xie Fang decided to seek out ferocious beasts and kill them, thus rapidly improving his cultivation and strength!

After all, the Ferocious Beast Clan was destined to perish in this tribulation, becoming cannon fodder for the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, Xie Fang's true form was the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, so he wouldn't incur karmic consequences and could slaughter and harvest without restraint.

Not only that, but when the Ferocious Beast Tribulation ended, he could even obtain considerable merit based on the ferocious beasts he had slain!

A hundred benefits with not a single harm!

Thinking this, Xie Fang immediately decided to let loose. In one word: do it!

A moment later, Xie Fang arrived at a dense forest.

This place was overgrown with thorns, filled with obstacles, and extremely dangerous.

Inside, there were even groups of ferocious beasts gathered together.

"Roar—"

Just then, a piercing roar rang out!

This roar was like a raging tidal wave, wildly rampaging, causing countless birds and beasts to tremble in fear.

But Xie Fang's eyes lit up, because he could sense a rather powerful aura—one he could still suppress—approaching him.

And at times like this, the more Xie Fang needed to stay calm, or else if he revealed his aura and scared the target away, it would be a case of losing both the chicken and the egg.

Rustle rustle rustle rustle—

A series of rustling sounds came forth, and then, from the bushes, three or four Azure Tigers suddenly sprang out.

However, Xie Fang frowned slightly, a look of disdain on his face.

These three or four tigers looked fierce, but their cultivation was only at the Mystic Immortal level!

The strongest one barely reached the late Mystic Immortal stage.

This left Xie Fang a bit disappointed. A Mystic Immortal realm wouldn't provide him with much Experience Points.

Still, even a mosquito's leg is meat. Since they had delivered themselves to his doorstep, there was no reason not to take them.

Yet, just as Xie Fang was about to reveal himself and collect the Experience Points from these little tigers, a somewhat deeper roar suddenly rang out!

The sound was filled with brutality, completely incomparable to the roars of these Mystic Immortal realm tigers!

"The aura I sensed earlier—it's the big guy behind them!"

Xie Fang immediately understood. He looked up and, sure enough, saw those few tigers trembling in fear after hearing the roar.

Then, a fierce wind howled in, and under a massive shadow, the sky darkened and the earth dimmed!

Xie Fang's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately saw a Winged Beast strolling over!

This ferocious beast was covered in scales and armor. Its wings spread out behind it, blotting out the sky and covering the sun. Its eyes were blood-red, clearly the result of erosion by Sha Qi.

"So the Ferocious Beast Clan is indeed different from other living beings—no intelligence, only slaughter. No wonder the Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate them."

This was Xie Fang's first encounter with a ferocious beast. Just as he was about to make his move, the beast had already attacked the three or four Azure Tigers!

Its massive front claws, like iron pincers, smashed down toward the tigers!

The seemingly imposing Mystic Immortal realm tigers had no power to resist under the beast's claws. In the blink of an eye, they were crushed into pulp!

"Roar!"

Like a killing machine, the ferocious beast let out a low growl, then hunched over and began devouring the corpses of the Azure Tigers.

Just then!

Thump!

A muffled sound rang out as the Golden Ruler Shadow descended from the sky, slashing furiously at the feeding Ferocious Beast!

Golden light illuminated the earth, and in an instant, it also reflected into the Ferocious Beast's scarlet eyes.

"Ding, congratulations to host for killing a Ferocious Beast, gaining Experience Points +240,000."

The system notification faded, the Golden Ruler Shadow descended, and transformed into Xie Fang.

The Ferocious Beast's corpse crashed to the ground, its life extinguished.

"This Ferocious Beast's cultivation was also at Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, just a bit stronger than that Three-Clawed Golden Dragon."

Xie Fang nodded, then didn't spare the beast's corpse another glance as he strode deeper into the dense forest.

In the Primordial World, time flew by.

Several thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout these millennia, Xie Fang remained on the Primordial World's land, slaughtering all kinds of Ferocious Beasts in a frenzy, and the Experience Points he harvested soared rapidly.

"Hmm..."

After the pleasure of a realm breakthrough, Xie Fang felt an unprecedented surge of power.

And his cultivation had smoothly reached the late stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

"Several thousand years, and only two minor levels of improvement... this progress is still a bit slow..."

Xie Fang sensed the power within his body and let out a faint sigh.

If any other living being in the Primordial World heard this, they'd surely be so ashamed they'd want to dig a blessed cave with their toes!

A mere few thousand years to go from early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal straight to late stage—and he still calls that slow?

Do you even want us to survive?

In truth, it wasn't that Xie Fang was ungrateful; he mainly felt that time was running short for him.

Though he had now reached late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, the Ferocious Beast Tribulation was likely nearing its end. The Primordial World was filled with hidden masters and rising talents, especially Hongjun and Luohu—those two great figures were probably somewhere right now, buried in bitter cultivation!

According to Xie Fang's memories, by the time the Ferocious Beast Tribulation ended, those two big shots had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm.

If he couldn't reach Quasi-Saint as soon as possible, he would likely find himself in a very passive position.

Fall behind, and you get beaten!
