Heaven and earth, four directions; three were under siege.
Just as all living beings were shocked by Minghe, Zhen Yuanzi, and Kunpeng's methods.
A savage, baleful aura suddenly erupted from above the Demon Court.
Like a blazing sun, it instantly shrouded the entire sky.
"A savage, baleful aura—and this intense."
"What is this??"
"Fierce Beast Qiongqi!!"
The three protagonists of the First Dragon-Han Calamity exchanged glances.
First, they could scarcely believe it. Then they burst into laughter.
"Heaven truly aids us!!!"
"Demon Court, why aren't you hurrying back? Be careful—if you're one step too late, even your foundations will be swallowed."
"Don't say us elders didn't warn you. The Qiongqi Fierce Beast loves eating the flesh and blood of birds like you."
The three Ancestral Dragons hurled a frenzy of mockery toward the Demon Court.
If they had not been sealed away for countless yuanhui, with less than one-tenth of their strength remaining.
They would never have wasted time with the Demon Court.
But they had no choice now. They could only obtain the Primordial Purple Qi to restore their strength.
"Big Brother, what is going on??"
Looking at Pangu Hall beneath his feet.
The two races had old grudges and were sworn enemies.
They had thought that after today, only the Demon Race would remain under heaven, and the Witch Clan would cease to exist.
Yet before the battle had even begun, chaos had broken out behind the Demon Court.
What about the Witch Clan?
What about that Primordial Purple Qi??
"!!"
Di Jun stared gloomily at the three ancestors of the First Dragon-Han Calamity below.
Were they behind this?
Yet now, he was caught between advancing and retreating.
Qiongqi was one of the protagonists of the Beast Calamity, possessing incomparably immense abilities.
He was especially adept in the Slaughter Dao.
If he went mad, the entire Demon Court could be wiped out.
Where would the majesty of the Heavenly Court be then?
Where would the majesty of the Demon Race be then?
Boom!!
Just as the Dragon-Han Three Ancestors were preparing to watch the Demon Court make fools of themselves.
An overbearing force of savage baleful intent suddenly surged up from the northern lands as well.
"Devouring Dao, encompassing heaven and earth, swallowing all things!!"
"That is... Taotie!!"
"Why has it appeared in the Return Ruins of the north? Could the legend be true!!"
The Heaven-Splitting Calamity.
It was the first Immeasurable Tribulation.
Yet not many living beings knew what exactly had happened during that tribulation.
Because all those who knew had already died.
The Beast Calamity was different.
Though its records were equally hazy, traces could still be followed.
Especially Luohou, Hongjun, and other living beings of later generations; they had in fact also lived during that era.
They could be called the first batch of living beings after Heaven-Splitting, and beings who had received the grace of the Three Thousand Devil Ancestors.
But unlike the many Fierce Beasts, they escaped the great calamity of the Fierce Beasts.
They had even lain dormant during the Dragon-Han Calamity.
Hongjun and Luohou in particular.
After the Dragon-Han Calamity, they gained their opportunity and ascended to the Sage Realm.
Unfortunately, Luohou lost.
Hongjun ultimately unified the entire Primordial World.
From then on, regardless of what Immeasurable Tribulation arose, it became Hongjun's era.
And now.
In this era of Hongjun, Fierce Beasts from his own time had appeared.
Above the Northern Darkness, Taotie transformed into a gigantic maw.
"Second Brother, what did they just say again?"
With Taotie appearing in the Northern Darkness, Di Jun was no longer anxious.
That was because the Northern Darkness contained the Return Ruins.
If Kunpeng failed to handle it, Kunpeng would be the one to suffer.
"They wanted to swallow our Demon Court. I don't know about Qiongqi, but with Taotie's appetite, how long can the Northern Darkness hold out?"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi held the Chaos Bell and burst into laughter as he looked at Kunpeng.
"Ancestor!!"
Kunpeng hurriedly looked to Yuan Feng with pleading eyes.
The Northern Darkness was the place where he attained his Dao.
It was also where he had made his Great Dao Oath.
If it collapsed, Kunpeng might not be able to bear the karma within it.
Just as in the battle between Hongjun and Luohou back then.
Although Hongjun ultimately won.
He had still needed to personally deal with the aftermath without end.
The current Kunpeng was not the Hongjun of old.
He had neither Primordial Purple Qi in hand nor a Saint Position to make up for the Northern Darkness.
"You disgraceful thing, get lost at once!!"
Though her words were harsh.
Yuan Feng still took great care of those of her own bloodline.
Otherwise, with Ancestral Dragon's bird-brained nature, he would have long since sent Kunpeng before Zhen Yuanzi.
"The Northern Darkness is nothing. If it truly collapses, then let it collapse!!"
"But what about your Demon Court?"
"You gathered the momentum of the world and gained Heavenly Dao Merit."
"Can you afford to collapse???"
Seeing Yuan Feng suffer a setback, Ancestral Dragon snorted coldly.
In a single sentence.
What if they lost one Kunpeng and the Northern Darkness?
Did the Demon Court truly dare to keep fighting here to the bitter end?
But at that moment, the Eastern Primordial Wilderness was directly enveloped by a mass of Hundun qi.
"Hundun Fierce Beast!!"
"It is actually the Hundun Fierce Beast. Why has it appeared in the Eastern Primordial Wilderness?"
"That slap to the face came too fast. Let's see how Ancestral Dragon handles this now!!"
Just as Ancestral Dragon finished speaking, the Eastern Primordial Wilderness was directly occupied by the Hundun Fierce Beast.
The Hundun Fierce Beast was the most unusual among Fierce Beasts.
He was called Hundun, yet he was not Hundun.
"Haha, keep barking! Ancestral Dragon, go on and keep barking!!"
The moment Tai Yi heard this, he immediately rejoiced.
He unleashed a torrent of abuse at Ancestral Dragon!!
Ancestral Dragon's expression was now dreadfully ugly.
After all, he had said it one moment, only to be slapped in the face the next.
His escape from captivity was inseparable from the Eastern Primordial Wilderness.
If Zhen Yuanzi's Eastern Primordial Wilderness were truly shattered by Hundun, the Dragon-Han Calamity qi within his body would likely become impossible to suppress ever again.
"Fierce Beasts are rising everywhere in the world. What exactly is happening?"
"The Demon Court, the Northern Darkness, the Eastern Primordial Wilderness!!"
"Who will be next??"
The cultivators hiding in the shadows, who had also come to seize the Primordial Purple Qi, could not help discussing it in hushed voices.
"What do the three of you say?"
Di Jun looked toward Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Primordial Qilin.
The Beast Calamity.
It was something even earlier than the First Dragon-Han Calamity.
Now that all three factions were under attack, it was definitely no coincidence.
As lord of the Heavenly Court, Di Jun had his own considerations.
He wanted the Demon Court.
He did not wish to give up the Primordial Purple Qi either.
"What is there to say?"
"Demon Court, if you know what's good for you, immediately bow your heads and submit."
"Otherwise, once we recover our strength, it will be too late even if you wish to flee!!!"
Primordial Qilin snorted coldly.
From the bottom of his heart, he simply looked down on the Demon Court.
As protagonists of the First Dragon-Han Calamity.
The methods they cultivated were absolutely beyond comparison with those of this era.
Though they were not in the Sage Realm.
Once they recovered all their strength, they would not be inferior to Sages in the slightest.
Thus, they had their pride and their confidence.
"Then there is nothing to discuss!"
Di Jun narrowed his eyes, while Tai Yi was deeply dissatisfied with Primordial Qilin's attitude.
"Discuss?"
"Did we give you face or something??"
As an auspicious creature.
Primordial Qilin himself inherited the divine abilities of the Fortune Chaos God-Demon.
Rumble!!
At that moment, the southern Primordial World filled with a destructive savage aura.
"Taowu, it is actually the Taowu Fierce Beast!!"
"Haha, Primordial Qilin, what are you so proud of?"
"Slapped in the face now, aren't you!!"
Seeing this, Tai Yi immediately threw his head back and laughed wildly.
