Primordial Era: The Dao Isn't Finished, But the Ancestor Witches Are Already Saints

After speaking, he even jerked his chin toward the Three Pure Ones.

"Right, right! We absolutely can't let certain ingrates get their hands on it!" Zhu Rong turned into a nodding machine again, bobbing his head frantically.

Li Hao was utterly speechless at this Third Brother of his. He reached up and slapped him hard on the back. "If you know that, then go already! What's the point of just nodding?"

Zhu Rong froze, then suddenly understood.

Damn! Right!

Just go for it! Why wasn't he acting like himself?

It must be because Little Sister had shown him concern again just now, leaving him too flustered.

With Li Hao's slap, Zhu Rong fully recovered, and his intelligence reclaimed the high ground.

With a loud shout, he charged forward.

Seize... ah, no! Retrieve!

The legacy Father God had specially left for their tribe.

Watching Zhu Rong rush toward the Creation Green Lotus, how could the Three Pure Ones stand for it?

In fact, the moment the Creation Green Lotus emerged from the world.

The three of them had already felt a faint intuition—this object was destined to belong to them, brothers.

This was fate, heavenly principle.

Laozi stepped forward, decisively unleashing the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

He signaled for Yuanshi and Tongtian to seize the treasure while he held off the three of the Witch Tribe.

Yuanshi and Tongtian understood, and without a moment's hesitation, they made straight for the Creation Green Lotus.

Watching the Three Pure Ones' performance, Li Hao shook his head repeatedly, clicking his tongue.

This was really ruining their image.

The image of Laozi in his mind had completely collapsed, shattered into tiny pieces.

Good heavens!

Look at those eyes, like rabbits—red with urgency!

And that expression, as if they bore some deep, blood feud.

Where was the "pure and non-action" they preached? Where was the "Tao follows nature"?

Had they all been farted away?

Li Hao clicked his tongue while shooting Houtu a glance.

The Three Pure Ones indeed couldn't harm Third Brother, but two of them could still tie him up.

If that happened, the one left free could snatch his magic treasure, and that would be trouble.

Houtu understood, and following Li Hao closely, the two of them charged straight for the Creation Green Lotus.

Just as he had thought, after Laozi unleashed his magic treasure, he did manage to catch up to Zhu Rong.

But once they engaged, he realized that while he could slow the man's advance, he couldn't fully stop him.

Laozi grew anxious and quickly called out.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, come help me at once!"

Hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian were both astonished.

Elder Brother had unleashed the Pagoda of Linglong and still couldn't stop him?

Was that man of the Witch Tribe really that strong?

The two exchanged glances, each nodding. Tongtian changed direction, while Yuanshi continued forward.

With Tongtian joining in, Zhu Rong's path forward was completely sealed off.

Zhu Rong's heart burned with urgency!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stopped worrying. If it was just a matter of stalling, then let them stall.

Seeing Zhu Rong no longer anxious, Laozi and Tongtian were puzzled.

They couldn't figure out what had happened.

Still, they didn't dwell on it. Their task was to block Zhu Rong.

Even if there were two more from the Witch Tribe, by the time they caught up, Yuanshi would have already claimed the treasure.

The matter was already settled; saying anything more was useless.

That was what the two thought.

They didn't know that the reason Zhu Rong wasn't worried was because he had seen Li Hao and Houtu sprint past him, heading straight for the Creation Green Lotus.

Li Hao and Houtu were simply too fast—so fast that Laozi and Tongtian, whose physical bodies were not strong, couldn't even perceive them.

Let alone them, even Yuanshi, whose physical body was relatively robust, only felt a sharp gust of wind brush past him on either side.

He noticed nothing else.

Yuanshi poured on his speed, fleeing for all he was worth—the Creation Green Lotus was right within reach.

Then, the scene before him made him stumble, nearly sending him crashing to the ground.

There, standing before the Creation Green Lotus, were two figures already in place.

Who else could it be but that shameless little thief of the Witch Tribe and the woman who had remained silent all along?

Seeing this, Yuanshi's rage blazed to the heavens, and he let out a thunderous roar.

"You dare seize the treasure of the Three Pure Ones? Truly seeking death!"

Yuanshi raised his palm slightly, and a bolt of lightning shot forth like a ribbon of silk.

It streaked out from the center of his palm.

This strike was no ordinary attack.

It was the Three Pure Divine Thunder, derived by the Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain from the Chaos Divine Thunder.

These were called the Taiqing Divine Thunder, the Jade Pure Divine Thunder, and the Shangqing Divine Thunder.

Much like the Three Pure Immortal Light, their power and technique were identical—only the user differed, hence the slight variation in name.

You could call it a universal divine ability.

But don't underestimate it just because every one of the Three Pure Ones could use it.

After all, this ability was realized through insight into the Chaos Divine Thunder.

Its power was undeniably formidable—world-shattering might be an overstatement.

But destroying a person or two? That was no problem at all.

It happened in an instant, guaranteed to send you off without a hint of suffering.

Well... if your sense of smell was sharp, you might catch a whiff of cooked meat, or maybe burnt flesh?

Most importantly, it was a one-stop funeral service—if you were lucky, what remained was ash fine enough to scatter with a light breeze.

Ensuring you could still wander the four corners of the earth after death.

If you were unlucky? Even the ash might not be left behind.

Still, that wasn't so bad—clean, hygienic, and environmentally friendly.

The divine thunder struck with no small commotion, shaking the valley to its core and kicking up clouds of dust.

Yuanshi wore a cold smirk on his lips.

"An ungrateful wretch, provoking me time and again—I was magnanimous enough to let it slide."

"And now you dare covet our treasure? Truly ignorant of life and death!"

He wasn't worried that this divine thunder would harm the Creation Green Lotus.

Ridiculous!

How could a treasure of that innate caliber be destroyed by a mere Jade Pure Thunder?

In other words, any Magic Treasure that could be easily wrecked by the Jade Pure Divine Thunder wasn't worth Yuanshi's notice anyway, right?

Yuanshi's reasoning was sound—the Creation Green Lotus was an Innate Supreme Treasure.

A subsidiary product of the Chaos Green Lotus—how could it be so easily destroyed?

Such an object could only be broken by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

And precisely because of that, Yuanshi dared to unleash his attack without restraint.

Yuanshi waited a while, but the billowing dust showed no sign of settling.

He chose to ignore it and strode straight toward the Creation Green Lotus.

Who would have thought—the moment he stepped into the dust, before he'd taken two paces—

A massive face suddenly appeared right before his eyes.

This abrupt turn of events startled Yuanshi so much he shuddered.

Don't think an Innate being wouldn't react this way—it was pure instinct.

No matter how bold a person was, a sudden scare like that would get the same response.

Unless that person had an unusually long reflex arc.

After the shudder, Yuanshi instinctively leaped back a great distance, assuming a defensive stance.

Laozi and Tongtian watched in utter confusion.

What was going on? Had he collected the treasure that quickly?

But then, what was with that defensive posture?

Soon enough, the two had their answer.

The smoke cleared.
