Primordial Wilderness: I Repeatedly Offered Poisonous Schemes! Houtu Advised Me to Calm Down

"Exactly—this is meant to make the other side wary and prevent underhanded attacks, since as long as one party survives, there will be a reckoning upon attaining sainthood!"

Di Jun and the Old Dragon both understood.

But now that things had come to this, they had no choice but to accept it. Moreover, if they tried to protect both Saint Positions, given the current situation, they might not be able to hold out.

They immediately struck with full force, shielding both sides as they descended into their respective strongholds.

The Gods, watching in urgency, attacked recklessly without holding back.

But even as the East Sea was beaten back into chaotic primordial essence, leaving only a few eternal sea eyes, they could not stop it.

The Dragon Race was formidable, with Quasi-Saint-level experts making their move—and not just early-stage Quasi-Saints. Even bearing karmic fire, as long as they were willing to go all out, they could suppress the Gods.

The Demon Race, though lacking the Old Dragon's strength, had the advantage of no karmic fire and many powerful experts. They even managed to temporarily bring Zhunti over.

As soon as Zhunti entered the Demon Race's territory, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been hunted for over a thousand years, facing life-and-death crises time and again.

Even a Great Divine Ability User like him was nearly drained of mental energy and had his origin damaged.

But now, at last, he could catch his breath.

Yet he did not know that, the moment he entered the Demon Race's domain—

Chu Xuan, watching from the shadows, sighed.

"So only one entered the Demon Race!"

"Seems he has some quick thinking after all!"

"In that case, I'll have to act early!"

Chu Xuan's gaze flickered, faintly stirring some hidden connection.

Just as Zhunti relaxed his mind for a single instant—

Several beings who had been secretly and fervently inviting him into the Demon Race suddenly brightened.

They exchanged glances and struck at the same time.

Converging their strongest attacks, they blasted toward Zhunti's back.

And then, almost the moment they acted—

They were shocked to discover.

They were not the only ones who had secretly coordinated.

This time, the Demon Heavenly Court had brought thirty-three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. Adding Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, that made thirty-five peerless experts.

But in that instant, over eighteen of them suddenly turned on Zhunti!

More than half of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had suddenly rebelled.

Shock flashed through everyone's eyes, followed by a glimmer of understanding.

"Damn it—the ones who secretly contacted me, promising to support me as a Saint, weren't just talking to me alone!"

But the arrow had been loosed; there was no turning back.

The eighteen Demon Race Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals could only grit their teeth and unleash their strongest attacks together.

The terrifying power converged into one, enough to make even a Quasi-Saint pale.

Countless gazes of astonishment gathered.

And on top of that, Zhunti had long been depleted, and in that split-second lapse of focus, he failed to react!

Boom—

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering strike!

Jieyin, who had just found safety within the Dragon Race, widened his eyes, nearly bleeding tears.

Zhunti's eyes filled with disbelief.

Di Jun, reacting, erupted in fury!

But it was too late—truly too late!

No one had expected.

Of the thirty-plus Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals the Demon Race had brought this time, more than half were traitors.

This was why Chu Xuan had said only the Wu Clan could be the banker.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a Saint Position!

Every being who had reached Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was immensely proud, craving further advancement.

The Demon Heavenly Court had only recently been established. Expecting them to act out of fear of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi for ordinary tasks was one thing—even going to war could be considered a shared great cause.

But the one thing that was off-limits?

The path of cultivation!

Especially the path to sainthood!

As long as someone tempted them with even a little, backed by a certain level of strength, they would not hesitate to gamble.

Because the hidden force behind it all had guaranteed the strength of two Quasi-Saints.

There's one more than even their Demon Heavenly Court!

Who wouldn't be tempted, who wouldn't stir with desire?

Boom—

An earth-shattering roar.

The entire world seemed pierced through.

Endless Earth Wind Water Fire evolved, chaos reenacted.

In the shadows, hidden existences struck together; Dijiang's figure coordinated with Zhu Jiuyin, concealing themselves within all the attacks using the laws of time and space.

Though they had some reservations about this strike, since they'd already confirmed the plan with their younger brother, they chose to act.

With time and space working in tandem, and under such a coordinated assault, no one could see that a Quasi-Saint's attack was also hidden within.

This strike shook the entire Primordial Wilderness.

The gaze of the whole Primordial Wilderness turned toward it—

some shocked, some conflicted, some horrified.

Because Zhunti was instantly blown apart.

His origin shattered to the extreme.

His Great Way fruit was severed and split.

He was slain dozens of times in an instant.

Only the Innate Bodhi Tree remained, withering faintly amid the destructive might.

His last wisp of spiritual consciousness clung to the Innate Bodhi Tree.

But even relying on this top-grade innate spiritual root, it couldn't withstand the combined assault of eighteen Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and one Quasi-Saint.

The aura of destruction withered the Innate Bodhi Tree, as if seeking to erase it completely.

An unattended innate spiritual root, no matter how powerful, couldn't resist such force.

Even the eighteen Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals who had struck first were caught off guard.

They hadn't expected Zhunti to be so fragile.

If they killed him outright, how would they obtain the Cushion?

Though it meant a seat had opened up, that seat still had to be fought over.

But flustered, they couldn't pull back this strike in time, and could only watch helplessly as the Innate Bodhi Tree slowly withered.

Just as every existence believed the first future saint would be completely eliminated and die, Chu Xuan's expression suddenly shifted sharply.

"Fall back!"

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin vanished at the same time, without a trace of hesitation.

This was the predetermined plan.

They even carried the Pangu Hall with them to obscure the heavenly secrets.

But Chu Xuan still couldn't help feeling a bit anxious.

Because almost in the next instant, a terrifying saintly might, overwhelming and crushing the entire Primordial Wilderness, descended.

Rage.
