Chu Xuan waited for a long time, a flicker of movement in his gaze.

Due to a lack of intelligence and no system, he was unaware that at this moment, Hongjun was also entangled in trouble.

Within Zixiao Palace, Hongjun's face was grim as he stared at the boiling Heavenly Dao. East Prince Gong bore an imperial destiny and the status of a Lord of Heaven and Earth. Although Hongjun had intended to use Haotian and Jade Pool to replace him in the future and then eliminate this threat, He had never expected that before his schemes could unfold, the other would fall right here.

Though any death along the thread of Heavenly Dao was unsurprising, it had greatly stimulated the Heavenly Dao to alter the future.

The Heavenly Dao naturally would not send down tribulations, but it needed to re-evolve and change the future, shifting the operations of the Great Dao—this brought immense trouble to Hongjun, who sought to Integrate with Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao changed, would his integration change as well?

If he failed to keep up with the shifts, his progress in integrating would instantly stop or even regress—and regress sharply!

With the Calamity of Killing erupting, he had a pretext and had intended to act.

But unexpectedly, East Prince Gong was dead!

This directly cost him his opportunity, leaving him no time to manage the affairs of the Primordial Wilderness!

How could that East Prince Gong be so weak!

Hongjun's expression was extremely foul.

But he could only sit down first to pacify the Heavenly Dao and follow its changes.

Because Hongjun did not intervene, the intensity of this Calamity of Killing skyrocketed in an instant.

Great Divine Ability Users could fall, the entire Primordial Wilderness was embroiled in war, and yet the Dao Ancestor still had not stepped in to stop it?

This completely violated the tacit understanding established during the lectures.

Silent permission—was this how it was meant to be?

Countless strong beings misunderstood, shedding all their former inhibitions, and surged forward with fervor.

"The struggle for a Saint Position begins today!"

Some being whispered as they struck.

The Three Pure Ones Secret Realm was breached once more, with over five Great Divine Ability Users attacking, and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals moving in droves.

The Three Pure Ones took the initiative to strike but all sustained injuries.

Xuanming frowned and also made her move.

Though she had no desire to fight to the death for the Three Pure Ones, there was no time to hesitate now.

Yet, just as she engaged one of the Great Divine Ability Users, Xuanming's heart stirred.

Little sister!

A faint resonance of Ancestral Shamans.

It turned out that Houtu and the others had discovered Chu Xuan had been taken away by Xuanming and was inside the Three Pure Ones Secret Realm.

Fearing that something might happen to Chu Xuan, they had deliberately organized this assault.

It was better for them to act than for others to do so, and they could take the chance to retrieve Chu Xuan.

They could also repay the alliance between the Wu Clan and the Three Pure Ones.

This last point became clear only when Xuanming communicated secretly with the other Ancestral Shamans during the battle.

They were all too familiar with their little brother's style of blurring the lines between official and outlaw.

Naturally, they had no objections.

Then, the Ancestral Shamans struck with full force. The Three Pure Ones bled, Xuanming was severely wounded, and new Ancestral ShamansRushou and Jumang—arrived to lend aid.

If Karma was to be forged, it might as well be forged deeply.

This time, the Three Pure Ones truly faced a crisis of survival!

Vast stretches of Three Pure Ones Mountain were smashed to pieces.

Chu Xuan's gaze shifted, meeting the eyes of one of the Great Divine Ability Users, completing an exchange of information.

He found it both helpless and amusing.

Still, he went along with it, accepting a drop of Ancestral Shaman Essence Blood passed to him by Rushou, ostensibly using it to temporarily elevate his cultivation to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Boom—

With countless manifestations of his true form, he swept up many disciples of the Three Pure Ones from the mountain.

Then, without looking back, he left directly.

Chu Xuan's actions startled the Three Pure Ones, but they quickly realized this was a move to preserve the foundation of their disciples.

They felt gratitude toward Chu Xuan.

Favor naturally had to be placed where it mattered. Simple assistance meant little, but saving an entire lineage carried far more weight than mere aid.

The Gods also understood Chu Xuan's intent.

Some were reluctant, but after the Ancestral Shaman Jumang personally escorted Chu Xuan away, they did not press the matter further.

Because the Three Pure Ones Secret Realm had been thoroughly shattered and opened.

The Three Pure Ones could no longer remain at ease, fully drawn into the calamity. What followed was purely a contest of whose methods were stronger.

Dwelling further on those disciples and followers might not bring any benefit.

If the Three Pure Ones ultimately agreed to spit out the Cushion, then whoever had killed their disciples would certainly gain nothing.

Thus, by tacit agreement, Chu Xuan successfully reaped a massive favor from the Three Pure Ones.

Of course, on the surface, Chu Xuan took the opportunity to lure away two Great Divine Ability Users who had been ambushing in the shadows, as if unwilling to let him claim the benefits so easily.

And so, he smoothly withdrew alongside the two Ancestral Shamans.

Under the protection of the Ancestral Shamans, Chu Xuan hurried back to the Wu Clan's heartland, where another Ancestral Shaman was feigning an attack in secret.

To avoid too obvious a discrepancy.

Once Chu Xuan set down the Three Pure Ones' legacy, he reverted to his Primordial Unity Golden Immortal form.

Fuxi and Nuwa arrived in haste, gazing at the devastated Three Pure Ones legacy and the dazed disciples.

They couldn't help but sigh.

"Even the Three Pure Ones Secret Realm has been completely breached!"

"It seems the Calamity of Killing has already come to pass!"

But after speaking, Fuxi found himself increasingly unsettled by Chu Xuan.

This kid's actions meant he had likely secured the goodwill of the future three saints.

How was it that all the benefits seemed to fall into the Wu Clan's lap?

Something was off, truly off!

And then, when he had returned earlier, that was a Great Witch's true form, wasn't it?

Yet now it seemed to have vanished.

A Great Witch?

Perhaps sensing the confusion in Fuxi's eyes, Chu Xuan took the initiative to explain.

"I borrowed a secret technique from the clan, consuming Ancestral Shaman Essence Blood."

That barely sufficed as a brush-off.

Most importantly, Fuxi had no chance to probe further.

Because with the Three Pure Ones Secret Realm breached, even the Three Pure Ones themselves were locked in bloody battle.

The East Sea region trembled.

The sudden upheaval drew his attention.

At the very core of the chaotic battle among over two hundred Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, Zhunti and Jieyin seemed terrified out of their wits.

They suddenly made a decision.

Two figures simultaneously threw themselves to opposite sides.

Zhunti: "Brother Di Jun, aid me! I am willing to cultivate in harmony with the Demon Heavenly Court!"

Jieyin: "Brother Dragon Race, aid me! I am cultivating the path of karmic fire, and will surely repay you in the future!"

The two greatest powers aiding them were overjoyed.

After helping them for so long, they had finally bowed to pressure and fully joined their side.

If they had done so earlier, not resisted their protection, and directly entered the core of their forces, there would have been no such slaughter.

Yet, just after the elation.

Both sides darkened their faces.

Because they had not joined the same side.

But had split their investments.
