Luo Hou Stirs Strife Among the Three Races

"Hahahaha! Good, good, good!"

Devil Ancestor Luo Hou stood tall and majestic, his pair of scarlet devil eyes looking down upon the world. "The Primordial World has been too peaceful. The Sha Qi and devil qi we can absorb are growing ever scarcer. I have decided to give this world a little surprise."

"We are willing to die for the Devil Ancestor!"

"We are willing to die for the Devil Ancestor!"

"We are willing to die for the Devil Ancestor!"

The million devil spawn below shouted in unison, their voices piercing the heavens.

"Only one step remains! Just one step, and I will be able to prove the Dao through slaughter and reach the legendary Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!!!"

Luo Hou shouted, and devil qi immediately surged while devil lightning roared.

It was as though all of Mount Sumeru were trembling.

Endless devil qi spread from his body, and his overwhelming pressure seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth!

He had completely lost his memories as a Chaos God and Devil.

In other words, he no longer remembered Chu Yi protecting him while he severed the Three Corpses.

Reborn in the Primordial World, he had already found his own Dao—slaughter!

His strength had now reached the realm of a half-step Saint.

At this moment.

Within a hidden space.

Taiqing and Di Jiang watched the events on Mount Sumeru, unable to hide their shock.

Mount Sumeru was filled everywhere with devil qi, Sha Qi, and yin qi... Apart from devil spawn, there were not a single other living beings.

"Brother Taiqing, what realm has that devil reached?"

Di Jiang's Primordial Spirit was inadequate, and he could not sense Luo Hou's realm, so he spoke to ask Di Jiang.

Taiqing could not help frowning. "Uncle once spoke of the divisions between realms.

"Under the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, the realms are divided into Quasi-Saint and Saint, followed by the Heavenly Dao Realm... Luo Hou now has likely reached the realm of a half-step Saint."

Hearing this, Di Jiang could not help but be astonished.

A half-step Saint...

Although they followed the Primordial Dao and differed from Quasi-Saints and Saints, the aura emanating from Luo Hou still made them feel greatly oppressed.

With Luo Hou's current strength, coupled with his own magic treasures, he likely possessed the combat power of the seventh or eighth heaven of the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm.

"It seems... we cannot act rashly! Other than the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation, no one can deal with him."

Di Jiang frowned.

"Yes. Luo Hou's strength far surpasses Hongjun and the others." Taiqing sighed. "If we were to deal with Hongjun, our own cultivation alone would suffice."

At that very moment.

Boom!

A terrifying burst of devil qi shattered the spatial barrier.

Di Jiang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You dared spy upon my Mount Sumeru? Courting death!"

As Luo Hou's words fell, the Godslayer Spear shot out. In the next instant, towering devil qi had already struck before Taiqing.

"Heaven-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!"

Taiqing hurriedly summoned his defensive magic treasure and said to Di Jiang, "I'll hold Luo Hou back for a moment. Use your spatial divine ability and leave!"

They could not remain here long. They had concealed their auras so thoroughly yet had still been discovered. This showed that Luo Hou's strength was by no means an empty reputation.

"Alright!"

Di Jiang did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately used spatial traversal.

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave spread outward.

Luo Hou's Godslayer Spear smashed fiercely against the Heaven-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

The aftershock made Taiqing's five viscera churn violently!

And within the span of a single breath, Luo Hou's Godslayer Spear had already thrust dozens of times in succession.

Intense stabbing pain came from Taiqing's Primordial Spirit.

Fortunately, the Heaven-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda possessed astonishing defensive power... Otherwise, Taiqing's Primordial Spirit would certainly have suffered grave injuries!

Well, Luo Hou was immensely powerful, and he also possessed the heaven-and-earth fiendish treasure, the Godslayer Spear!

Otherwise, who could injure Taiqing while he had the Heaven-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda?

"Pretty tough."

A teasing smile curled across Luo Hou's lips.

Immediately afterward, the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords circled around him.

"Go!"

Luo Hou drove his devil qi and controlled the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and the Godslayer Spear, bombarding Taiqing together.

At that critical moment.

Di Jiang's spatial divine ability was finally complete.

He took Taiqing and vanished from the spot.

That had been close!

Luo Hou was far too decisive in slaughter.

The instant he acted, he went straight for their lives.

"They actually got away!"

Luo Hou was somewhat furious. "Had I known, I would have sealed this space first."

In the end, Luo Hou had simply been too arrogant.

He had thought that one thrust from him would be enough to make Taiqing unable to endure.

There had been no need at all to seal the space and go through so much trouble.

Who could have imagined that Taiqing possessed such a supreme defensive treasure, allowing him to block the Godslayer Spear's attacks again and again?

"Forget it. It is time to add a little spice to this world."

As Luo Hou's words fell.

He vanished from where he stood.

The sea region was incomparably vast.

The Qilin Race and the Dragon Race had always had friction, yet they had remained at peace.

"There is a freshwater lake over there. Let's go drink some water."

"Wonderful! Ever since I fought that Fire Qilin, I've been parched to death. I haven't had water in ages."

Several qilin came to a freshwater lake to drink.

These qilin were not weak. At the very least, they were all Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal-level experts.

They were the backbone of the Qilin Race.

Suddenly!

A black dragon covered in devil qi appeared.

It struck with incredible speed, opening its jaws and swallowing several qilin into its belly.

"You bold qilin, you dared come to my Dragon Race's territory to steal water. Courting death!"

The black dragon's voice was icy as it shouted.

"Your Dragon Race governs the sea, while we are drinking water from a lake on land. What right do you have to control us!"

The qilin trembled in terror, yet it still voiced the dissatisfaction in its heart.

Well, its companions had been no weaker than it, yet they had all become food on the black dragon's plate. It could not possibly be a match for him either.

"Anywhere there is water belongs to my Dragon Race! From now on, your Qilin Race is forbidden from drinking water!!! Otherwise, die!"

The black dragon shouted coldly!

"Fine! You are being so unreasonable—I'll go report this to Lord Qilin Progenitor at once!"

The qilin fled without looking back!

After it left, the black dragon transformed into Luo Hou.

"The real show is only beginning."

Immediately afterward, he transformed into a black qilin and came to the edge of the sea, shouting at the ocean:

"You damned loaches, get out here!"

His voice was like thunder, shaking the sea into towering waves!

Countless fish and shrimp in the sea were instantly killed or injured!

More than a dozen dragons burst from the sea!

The leading dragon was an ice dragon at the early Quasi-Saint Realm.

He was the Dragon King of this small sea region.

"Black Qilin, you dare behave so wildly here? Who gave you the courage?"

As time passed, the great calamity emerged. Luo Hou had long been wary of Hongjun's great reputation. After seizing the Twelfth-Rank World-Destroying Black Lotus, he stirred up conflicts without restraint for his own selfish desires, ruining the primordial fortune. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races appeared harmonious while harboring different intentions, and gradually began to fight. The Primordial World descended into bloody storms and savage winds; fewer than one in ten living beings survived, and many ancient divine beasts perished. The three races also suffered grievous losses of vital strength from their bloody war. This was known as the Dragon-Han Primordial Calamity.

During the Dragon-Han Primordial Calamity, Luo Hou committed evil deeds. He combined the spiritual qi of the western lands of the Primordial World with the essence blood and resentful qi of the three races, breaking open the Pangu Seal beneath Mount Sumeru and refining the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, its killing intent shooting into the heavens. Luo Hou founded the Demon Sect lineage. Under him were the four devil lords No-Mind, Formless, No-Law, and No-Heaven. Thus he became Devil Ancestor Luo Hou, wishing to prove himself a Primordial Saint through the Dao of slaughter.
