Mount Buzhou, Fu Xi and Nüwa

"Sss! Just with the power of his physical body alone, he's this strong?"

"No wonder he has the backing of World Power!"

"Terrifying beyond words!"

Watching the destructive force of his own punch, Lei Jun was in high spirits.

After all, Fierce Beasts in the Primordial Wilderness relied on tempering their Physical Bodies to grow stronger. When it came to raw strength, aside from the Twelve Ancestral Mages, hardly anyone could match them.

Yet even so, they couldn't withstand a single punch from Lei Jun!

Of course—

Qiongqi was, after all, a Fierce Beast King, a being at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Blowing its head apart wasn't fatal, nor could it even be considered a serious injury.

Because its Origin wasn't located in its head.

Lei Jun swept his Divine Sense across the area, then curled his lips into a smile.

"So the Origin is hidden in its stomach."

"Let's see if you can survive this!"

As his words fell, Lei Jun lifted his gaze to the sky.

Boom!

The heavens seemed to receive some command. In an instant, the clear weather for ten thousand miles turned to Dark Clouds, rolling thunderclouds churning at the horizon. A terrifying power of Heavenly Tribulation spread through the air, as if heralding the end of the world.

"To die under the first Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation since Kaitian—your life was worth it!"

"Perish!"

Boom!!!

In that instant!

Countless bolts of lightning, like a waterfall from the Ninth Heaven, descended from the sky.

They completely engulfed Qiongqi.

Roar!

Though Qiongqi had lost its head, it still sensed the danger and tried to flee.

But with lightning filling the sky, where could it run?

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One bolt after another struck its body. In mere moments, its skin split open, and it howled in agony...

Before long.

Qiongqi had vanished entirely.

Turned into Tribulation Ash, not even a trace left.

"This Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation really lives up to its reputation. Not only did it kill that Fierce Beast King, it even purified a good chunk of the surrounding Sha Qi!"

"Now that's something impressive!"

Lei Jun felt that the patch of heaven and earth he stood in was, for once, refreshingly clear.

He took a deep breath, filling his lungs with dense spiritual energy.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, Lei Jun swept his Divine Sense and discovered a pile of remains left where Qiongqi had disappeared.

These remains glowed with light, clearly no ordinary treasures.

"Hahaha!"

"An unexpected windfall!"

Lei Jun reached out with a sweeping motion and gathered all the treasures into his storage.

Then, he began to inspect them one by one.

"This piece of wood—completely unharmed under the Lightning Tribulation. It must be no ordinary timber!"

"A fine treasure!"

"And this Spirit Seed—such rich vitality. At the very least, an Innate Spirit Root?"

"Not bad, not bad!"

"And this..."

The Primordial Wilderness knows no years.

A million years passed.

"The pressure of Mount Buzhou is truly terrifying!"

"Especially at the dawn of creation, when Pangu's Daoist Rhyme had not yet faded—even as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, I could barely move a step."

Lei Jun stopped and couldn't help but marvel.

He had spent a million years slowly making his way to the vicinity of Mount Buzhou.

He composed his Heart Spirit.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lei Jun set off again.

Lei Jun pressed forward, delving deeper into Mount Buzhou while gathering Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, thoroughly enjoying the process.

Meanwhile.

Deep within Mount Buzhou.

A hidden place shielded from fate by an Innate Great Array.

At this moment, two consciousnesses rippled with communication.

"Elder Brother, do you feel it? The Turbid Qi outside seems to have lessened; heaven and earth have grown clearer."

At the dawn of creation, heaven and earth were filled with endless Sha Qi and Resentment Qi.

These Evil Spirit energies might have little effect on someone as supremely yang and righteous as Lei Jun.

But for other living beings, the impact was significant—at worst, it could disturb the Heart Spirit and invite a Disaster of Killing!

The ferocious beasts represented destruction!

Destruction of all things, tangible and intangible, including the Innate Gods themselves.

This era was the stage of the ferocious beasts. Even mighty clans like the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans had to keep their heads down, eking out an existence in obscurity.

But the changes at Mount Buzhou startled these still-nurturing Innate Gods.

"Perhaps heaven and earth are about to undergo a great upheaval!"

"Our time to emerge should not be far off!"

"Let me perform a divination!"

The two consciousnesses exchanged thoughts.

These siblings were none other than the Innate Gods, Fu Xi and Nüwa!

Born from the will of heaven and earth, they were beings of great fortune.

Yet even they had been muddled in mind before the world's Sha Qi.

Now, however, they enjoyed rare clarity.

Rumble!

Time passed, bit by bit.

Suddenly, Fu Xi's Origin trembled.

As if struck by a massive backlash.

"Nüwa, such an existence has already transcended time and the River of Fate—it is not something we can casually discuss! I cannot divine it! Do not even think of it again!"

"Elder Brother!"

Nüwa was greatly startled.

This was the first time she had seen her brother in such a state.

Clearly, this unknown existence was so terrifying that even forming a thought about it had become taboo.

Hum!

Just then, the Innate Great Array that shielded them from external perception suddenly rippled.

A gaze projected in from outside.

In that instant.

Fu Xi and Nüwa's hearts trembled, as if standing at the edge of an abyss.

Had that inconceivable existence descended?

At this moment, Nüwa and Fu Xi's hearts shook violently, as if facing a great enemy.

Yet even so, there was nothing they could do, nothing they could achieve.

First, they had not yet taken form.

Second, even if they had taken form, it would be futile.

Whoosh!

But soon, the brother and sister realized they had been overthinking things.

That existence merely swept a glance or two before drifting away.

The ripples of the great formation had settled, and everything was as before, as if nothing had happened at all.

"Elder Brother!"

Suddenly, Nüwa's cry of alarm shattered the calm completely.

"That... senior just now? It seems to have left something inside me!"

Nüwa exclaimed in shock.

"Hm?"

Fuxi was full of question marks.

"It's a spark of opportunity! Through this spark, I can comprehend the senior's Dao and methods!"

Nüwa's tone grew excited.
