Naturally, the purpose of all this was to obtain Earth Merit.
When the great powers of the Primordial Wilderness saw this,
how could they not be tempted?
The Witch Clan had remained inactive for a hundred years,
which also removed their final misgivings.
For a time, fires of war sprang up everywhere.
The Primordial Wilderness was thrown directly into complete chaos.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court.
"Second Brother, Kunpeng is far too naive."
"Does he think that merely by establishing Northern Darkness in the Primordial Wilderness, he can break away from the Heavenly Court?"
Feeling the unending stream of merit flowing in from the Primordial Wilderness, Di Jun and Tai Yi drank wine and laughed heartily as they surveyed the world.
"Big Brother, Kunpeng is highly ambitious. We still need to guard against him."
Tai Yi drained the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"If he dares to rebel one day, throw him straight into the Demon-Summoning Banner."
"Make him unable to live or die."
Di Jun looked completely confident, utterly unafraid that Kunpeng might rebel.
In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed.
"How are the preparations?"
Kunpeng looked at his eldest disciple, Northern Darkness Child.
"Everything is under control."
"After today, Master, you will be the ruler of the Primordial Wilderness."
Northern Darkness Child looked at Kunpeng with eager excitement.
"We have supplied the Heavenly Court with merit for a thousand years. They should be satisfied by now."
Kunpeng snorted coldly.
A thousand years ago,
he had descended upon the Primordial Wilderness
for the sake of today's plan.
The reason he had not fallen out with the Heavenly Court was that Di Jun and Tai Yi had placed too much pressure on him.
But things were different now.
Rumble!!
At that moment, a thunderous boom rang out from the Celestial Palace.
From the enormous Sun Star came the unceasing cries of Golden Crows.
"They've been born!!"
Northern Darkness Child immediately became tense.
"From this day forth, I, Kunpeng, establish Northern Darkness and become the Primordial Lord."
"I shall govern the Primordial Wilderness, instruct all living things, and become the teacher of all races!!"
"I, Kunpeng, hereby make a Heavenly Dao Oath. Let Heaven and Earth bear witness!!"
Heaven and Earth responded, and Heavenly Dao Merit suddenly descended upon the Demon Master Palace.
This palace was the innate companion treasure of Kunpeng the Demon Master. It had stood in Northern Darkness since his birth.
Now, Kunpeng used it as the great hall that suppressed his fortune.
"Haha, it has succeeded. Activate the formation!!"
Kunpeng had prepared for a thousand years. He had not merely chosen the day of the demon empress's delivery.
One thousand and eighty Heavenly Demon Transformation Banners spread across the mountains, rivers, and leylines; nine thousand nine hundred Heavenly Demon Swords; and forty-nine sets of Northern Abyss Swords
all soared into the sky the moment Heavenly Dao Merit descended.
Northern Abyss Profound Baleful Intent Formation!!!
Apart from Mount Buzhou, the entire Primordial Wilderness was divided into four.
Kunpeng now occupied one quarter by himself.
At that moment, brilliant light also rose abruptly from the other three regions.
In one place, blood-colored light shot into the heavens.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood filled the air with a foul stench.
They directly formed Avici Hell.
"From this day forth, I, Minghe, establish the Underworld and become the Underworld Lord."
"I shall govern the prisons and execution grounds that administer punishment in the netherworld, imprisoning and punishing the souls of those burdened with grievous sins in life."
"I, Minghe, hereby make a Heavenly Dao Oath. Let Heaven and Earth bear witness!!"
No formation was needed. The twelve hundred and ninety million Blood God Clones alone were enough to sweep across Heaven and Earth.
And following Minghe's Great Dao Oath, merit truly descended from Heaven and Earth.
At the same time,
on the other two sides,
one was suffused with immortal energy, while the other shone with Buddhist light.
They were respectively Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Immortal Path and the western Ksitigarbha Buddha Kingdom.
For a time, Heaven and Earth were divided into four.
In the east, Zhen Yuanzi led the Earth Immortals and was known as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.
Kunpeng called himself the teacher of all races and established himself in the north as the Primordial Lord of Northern Darkness.
In the south, Minghe transformed the land into a gateway, linking the Blood River to the Primordial Wilderness and calling himself the Underworld Lord.
Yet the most shocking development came from the west. Ksitigarbha established himself as a Buddha and called himself the Ksitigarbha Buddha Lord.
Heavenly Dao.
Hongjun, who had already fused with the Dao, appeared within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Thirty-Fifth Heaven, Grand Pure Mirror.
"The Primordial Wilderness is the Witch Clan's territory, yet it has now become a murky mess."
"It's chaos. Everything has fallen into chaos!!"
Stopping his calculations, Yuanshi looked toward Taiqing Saint.
The Sage Algorithm connected directly to the Heavenly Dao.
Below Hongjun, all Saints could clearly see the future.
Yet to their surprise, although the future had already been seen clearly, the development of events had become increasingly beyond their expectations.
"Kunpeng should not have appeared in the Primordial Wilderness. Minghe should have remained forever within his Blood Sea, and Zhen Yuanzi should not have become the Ancestor of Earth Immortals so early."
"There should not be any Primordial Lord in this world, nor should the Underworld have emerged so soon."
"Even more infuriating, the west actually exploited this loophole to steal Heavenly Dao Merit so openly."
"Utterly absurd!!"
Yuanshi furrowed his brows deeply.
They were Saints and could already roughly deduce the great trend of the future.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, what should we do now?"
Tongtian looked toward Taiqing Saint and Yuanshi Saint.
He had actually known the outcome of their trip a thousand years ago.
But he had his own selfish motives and concealed the important details.
He had wanted to see how the Witch Clan would ultimately develop.
Yet no matter how thoroughly he calculated, he had not foreseen the current state of the Primordial Wilderness.
"Yuanshi, make a trip to the Witch Clan!!"
Taiqing Saint was also unable to sort out the situation for the moment.
But the Demon Clan and Witch Clan had to flourish before the Immeasurable Tribulation could occur.
Now, the Demon Clan had already flourished, and the ten young Golden Crows had been born.
As long as the Witch Clan emerged, everything would cease to be a problem.
The west.
Ksitigarbha Buddha was actually the true foremost Buddhist disciple of the Western Sect, an existence the two Saints had specially nurtured to bear great responsibilities in the future.
But this was a rare opportunity, so they did not hesitate at all before sending Ksitigarbha Buddha forth.
The Primordial Wilderness's merit was right there, and naturally included the west as well.
But if merit could be obtained twice, who would ever think it too much?
"Eldest Brother, I believe Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi are destined for our Western Sect!!"
Zhunti looked toward Jieyin.
Now that Primordial World merit had been divided four ways, those two had no powerful backers behind them.
Thus, Zhunti set his sights on the two of them.
"Amitabha, Junior Brother, your words are reasonable!"
Jieyin nodded in agreement.
They were Saints, and this was the Demon-Witch Calamity.
According to their deductions and the intentions of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, they were not permitted to interfere.
But the problem was that Kunpeng's descent upon the Primordial Wilderness a thousand years ago had given them a different line of thought.
They might refrain from competing, but what about their disciples?
Once their thinking broadened, their methods became far bolder.
If even Kunpeng could calculate the day the demon empress gave birth, then how much more could Heavenly Dao Saints do so?
Through a series of maneuvers, they had Ksitigarbha Buddha, as their disciple, swiftly collect all the Earth Merit of the western lands.
Sun Star.
The demon empress had carried her children for three thousand years.
How could a successful delivery in a single day possibly be so simple?
Not only did she need to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, there were also many unstable factors involved.
Even Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor, had no choice but to set aside everything and make every possible arrangement.
Even mobilizing all the solar power of the Sun Star could not satisfy the demon empress's needs.
In the end, he summoned Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Using the Chaos Bell as the source, he did everything possible to assist the demon empress Xi He in giving birth.
"It was only thanks to Tai Yi that this went so smoothly."
As the two strongest Golden Crows of the Heavenly Court, they were both utterly exhausted at this point.
"No need for formalities between family. Big Brother, how do you plan to deal with Kunpeng now?"
A thousand years ago, the two brothers had looked down on Kunpeng. They had not expected him to lie low for a thousand years.
While they had been too busy to attend to anything else, he had actually established his own faction.
"If everyone in the Heavenly Court imitates him, where will the Heavenly Court's authority remain?"
Di Jun snorted coldly.
The reason he had not moved against Kunpeng a thousand years ago was because Kunpeng had still been the Demon Master of the Heavenly Court.
When Kunpeng descended to contend for the Primordial Wilderness, what he gained still went to the Heavenly Court.
Though there had been some minor benefit for himself, he had also been expanding the Heavenly Court's territory.
To move against him
would have been unjustified in both name and principle.
But now he had raised his own banner. This was an attempt to split the Heavenly Court.
For such a crime,
he deserved death.
