"Not bad!"

"The heavens and earth have become much clearer!"

"Before, I dared not extend my will beyond the great formation. The moment I did, it would be corroded by boundless Sha Qi. I could only rely on my innate laws to deduce the situation outside."

Di Jiang sighed.

"Indeed!"

"If not for that, why would we have remained asleep in the Divine Hall all this time?"

"Now that the Sha Qi is receding, does this mean we will soon be able to leave?"

One of the Ancestral Mages spoke excitedly.

These Ancestral Mages were naturally combative by nature, none of them the type to stay put.

Now that they saw hope of leaving, they were already impatient.

"This matter requires careful deliberation. Do not act rashly!"

Di Jiang shook his head, directly rejecting the notion.

The other Ancestral Mages heard this and dared not argue.

Meanwhile.

Outside Mount Buzhou.

Lei Jun reached out with his great hand and grasped a strand of black, impure turbid Qi.

This was Innate Turbid Qi, the most filthy and polluted combination of Sha Qi and Resentment Qi in the world—a type of Innate Qi.

To Lei Jun's true body, it was of great benefit.

"I didn't expect to gain such a harvest after encountering the Twelve Ancestral Mages,"

"Not bad."

Lei Jun was very satisfied. He tossed the Innate Turbid Qi into the Small World within his body, using the World-Destroying Grinding Disc to slowly refine it for later consumption.

After doing all this, he stamped his foot and departed from Mount Buzhou.

Having spent ten epochs at Mount Buzhou, it was time to leave.

He had not forgotten his goal of visiting all the Famous Mountains and Great Rivers.

Time passed swiftly, like flowing water.

Three epochs went by.

Lei Jun had already traveled to all the famous mountains and great rivers across the Primordial Wilderness. Not only had he obtained many Spirit Roots and Spirit Treasures, but he had also left behind numerous opportunities.

Places like Kunlun and Wutai Mountain

Lei Jun had set foot on them all and left a trace of fortune behind.

On this day, He arrived at the Western Wilderness of Later Generations.

This land had not yet been shattered by Luo Hou of the Devil Race. The earth was full of vitality, countless Spirit Roots flourished, and grass grew while birds soared.

The only eyesore was the rampant Fierce Beasts and the endless Sha Qi.

Even with Lei Tian purifying the Sha Qi, Lei Jun could not cleanse it all.

This was the remnant left behind by the Three Thousand Chaos Gods and Devils after their deaths. By himself, Lei Jun naturally could not completely purify it.

It would take countless epochs, even two entire Tribulation Periods, before it could be finished.

"Hm?"

Lei Jun suddenly halted his steps, sensing a faint anomaly in the depths of his being.

This was the sign of a Precious Treasure emerging.

As a being at the Quasi-Saint level, Lei Jun's five senses were extremely sharp, and he would never be mistaken.

"My Source of Blessing is simply Defying Heaven!"

Lei Jun was delighted.

Ever since he began slaughtering Fierce Beasts and purifying Sha Qi, his luck had risen steadily. He would encounter treasures just by stepping out, and pluck Spirit Roots at random.

He could be called the Child of the Version.

This time, it was an even bigger wave—directly at the level of a Precious Treasure!

"Profit, profit!"

Lei Jun rejoiced greatly. Then his form flickered, turning into a streak of white afterimage, vanishing from the spot.

Boom!

One punch shattered an Innate Great Array, revealing the precious treasure's true form within.

It was a piece of green wood?

There seemed to be leaves on its upper part.

Its lower part resembled roots and stems.

Its entire body was surrounded by Sha Qi, like a peerless demonic artifact.

Weng!

The object trembled slightly, emitting a terrifying Soul-Devouring Force.

If a weak-willed person were enveloped by this Soul-Devouring Force, they would likely fall into the demonic path and become a puppet of this object!

Lei Jun's heart shook.

"Godslaying Spear!"

"No!"

"This is the Godslaying Spear that hasn't fully taken shape yet!"

Legend had it that the Godslaying Spear was transformed from the root of the Chaos Green Lotus!

It was a famous demonic treasure in the Primordial Wilderness.

Every one of its masters was a ruthless figure in the history of the Primordial Wilderness!

And its first master...

"This is bad!"

"I've formed a karmic bond with Beast Emperor Shen Ni!"

Lei Jun smiled bitterly.

In the current Primordial Wilderness, the only one Lei Jun truly feared, besides Beast Emperor Shen Ni, was no one else.

Even Yang Mei the Great Immortal of the Hollow Willow, who would become a saint in Later Generations, was not worth mentioning now.

At this moment, the Godslaying Spear was being gradually eroded by Sha Qi. Clearly, this was Shen Ni's doing.

Once the Godslaying Spear fully took shape, Shen Ni's strength would become even more terrifying.

"Not good..."

"If Shen Ni gets his hands on this thing, when I face him later, I probably won't come out on top either!"

Lei Jun's head ached.

He and Shen Ni—one was the Fierce Beast Emperor, the other the bane of fierce beasts.

They would inevitably have a battle one day.

There was no avoiding it.

But Shen Ni was the Child of Destiny of this era, possessing the entire fortune of the Xiongshou Dynasty.

It wouldn't be easy for Lei Jun to defeat him.

Only by mobilizing the power of all the myriad races in the Primordial Wilderness could he completely kill him.

So, should he take the Godslaying Spear or not?!

Just as Lei Jun was pondering, a Strange Phenomenon suddenly occurred.

Boom!

Boundless Sha Qi, with terrifying force, pressed in on Lei Jun from all directions.

As if trying to completely refine this space into a puppet of Sha Qi.

Boom!

Lei Jun was not slow. His body moved like thunder, and bolts of Righteous Thunder appeared around him!

Without any preparation, he casually summoned thunderbolts equivalent to the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation.

And dispelled the surrounding Sha Qi.

No, it should be said that he completely purified it!

Under the illumination of the thunderlight, those Sha Qi gradually cleared up and vanished entirely.

But Lei Jun's mood did not lighten.

Because everything just now was merely a test.

"It seems I've been discovered."

Lei Jun understood in his heart.

He no longer concealed himself.

Boom!

Just then.

The Sha Qi shifted again.

It transformed into the Myriad Sha Source, where every Fierce Beast could find its prototype.

He was like the Collective Body of all Fierce Beasts!

Infinite terror, yet endless mystery.

This time, he did not act rashly, but instead emitted a strange Dao Sound.

It was a language unique to the Chaos Gods and Devils.

Only those with Defying Heaven comprehension and extremely high origins could understand it.

Fortunately, Lei Jun was one of them.

"The Strange Phenomenon at Mount Buzhou—was that your doing?"

"Hmph!"

"This One does not care who you are. The day This One breaks through seclusion will be the day you and the Primordial Wilderness return to nothing!"

"Just wait!"

With that.

The Sha Qi dissipated.

Only a fierce killing intent lingered, annihilating space-time wherever it passed.

This was a law that transcended rules, pointing straight to the Great Dao!

If one's cultivation were insufficient, they would have already been obliterated in body and soul under this Demonic Sound, vanishing completely into the River of Time without leaving a single trace.

Of course...

It had no effect on Lei Jun.

"Threatening me?"

"A man about to die—talk to me once you survive this Tribulation Period!"

With that, his gaze fell upon the lotus root.

A Spirit Root formed from the Chaos Green Lotus's root would surely not be of low Grade.

Why leave such a treasure for others?

Besides, the karmic ties were already set. He might as well fight to the bitter end, leaving no room for compromise!

With this thought, Lei Jun made up his mind, staring intently at the green lotus root.

"Today, I will use my lightning to purify this Sha Qi!"

"Let's see which is stronger—your Shen Ni Sha Qi demonization, or my Heavenly Lightning purification!"

This was no longer a matter of victory or defeat.

It was a Dao Struggle!

Shen Ni had likely foreseen this as well.

The Fierce Beast Race was endless, dominating the entire Primordial Wilderness.

But in the end, the will of this world did not favor them, and had even conceived of wiping them out.

Thus, Shen Ni had laid many schemes.

Corrupting the Godslaying Spear was one of them.

And now, Lei Jun had arrived, discovering his secret.

Now he intended to purify the Sha Qi on the Godslaying Spear, causing Shen Ni to lose this Precious Treasure.

This was like striking a snake at its Seven InchesLei Jun's move had hit Shen Ni right where it hurt.

Shen Ni was currently in closed-door seclusion, striving to take that final step.

The Godslaying Spear was one of his key schemes.

If he ignored it, he would surely lose this Precious Treasure.

But if he emerged from seclusion, he would be unable to break through.

Whether he came out or not, he would gain nothing.

This was Lei Jun's 'Open Conspiracy'!

Boom!

In an instant, Lei Jun transformed into the heavens!

The sky and earth rumbled, as if enraged.

Boom!

Trillions of lightning bolts poured down.

In an instant, they completely submerged this stretch of heaven and earth.

Sha Qi retreated!

Sha Qi purified!

Boom, rumble!

Eighty successive thunder strikes, each one more powerful than the last.

When the final heavenly thunder descended.

The Dark Clouds formed from Sha Qi in the sky had long since scattered, and the thick Sha Qi mist on the ground had also been eliminated.

Boundless spiritual energy surged forth.

Moreover, an endless purple haze came from the east.
