Bearing Calamity Qi

Within Pangu Hall.

Before Dijiang stood countless mirrors.

Within them were countless scenes, flashing past like a revolving lantern.

There were scenes of the Demon Race, Northern Darkness, the eastern Earth Sect, and the southern Underworld.

There were also the figures of many Fierce Beasts.

Among them, one mirror in the Ferocious Beast Lands had already become covered in countless cracks.

It seemed that a casual strike would be enough to shatter it completely.

"I never expected them to have hidden such contingencies. No wonder they weren't afraid of having their nest stolen and dared to come alone."

Dijiang watched what was happening outside.

The Fierce Beasts that had suddenly appeared across the land were his handiwork.

When all living beings had come to besiege them, Dijiang had already used the Supreme Temporal Spatial Art.

Using the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Pearl, as the catalyst, supplemented by the Innate Spiritual Treasure Godslaying Spear and the Heavenly Dao Fiendish Treasure Heaven-Suppressing Coffin.

He had forcibly used immense magical power to release the Fierce Beasts sealed beyond various regions of space and time.

In particular, the River of Time within the Ferocious Beast Lands had been directly shattered by Dijiang.

The four great Fierce Beasts released now were merely appetizers.

Only because their places of imprisonment happened to be the Demon Court, the east, the north, and the south.

Dijiang had conveniently released them first.

The true main force of the Fierce Beasts was still to come.

Yet what surprised Dijiang was this.

Releasing these four great Fierce Beasts should have made the Dragon-Han Three Clans and the Demon Court wary.

But he had never expected that they had already made arrangements.

"That works too. If they were played to death all at once, it wouldn't be any fun!!"

Dijiang knew everything happening outside like the back of his hand.

Thirty-Sixth Heaven, Purple Cloud Palace!!!

The Sages had originally been in Taiqing Heaven of the Thirty-Fifth Heaven,

but to resolve the Demon-Witch Calamity, Hongjun had summoned all the Sages here with a decree and forbidden them from leaving.

Yet despite all his calculations, he had leaked information to the Witch Clan.

"The Beast Calamity has emerged as well. What exactly is going on??"

Zhunti was greatly alarmed.

He rose directly from the Ultimate Bliss Cushion.

He looked at the Sages around him, and aside from Jieyin, suspicion inevitably rose in his heart.

These had all been protagonists of the Immeasurable Tribulation before last.

Like the Dragon-Han Three Clans, it was not that they could not be killed, but that they could not be dared to be killed.

Within their bodies had accumulated the Immeasurable Tribulation Qi of an entire era. Only by sealing them within the River of Time and letting the Spacetime Millstone grind them away could they be destroyed.

Yet unexpectedly, the Calamity Qi from the first Beast Calamity after the Heaven-Splitting Calamity had not been completely ground away.

And someone unknown had even released them.

Though there were only four Fierce Beasts now.

Still.

As Sages, they had already smelled the incoming tide of Fierce Beasts.

"Zhunti, what is the meaning of that look in your eyes?"

"Everyone is sitting here. There is simply no way to send information outside."

"Looking at you, could it be that you intend to strike first and accuse others first?"

Nuwa saw that Zhunti's gaze had remained fixed on her and immediately grew displeased.

"I never said it was you. Why are you so anxious??"

Ever since Zhunti had tried to absorb Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe, only for Nuwa to disrupt it, the two Sages had completely become bitter enemies.

Whenever they found an opportunity, they would fire at each other.

"Do not be presumptuous. I have already reported this matter to Teacher Heavenly Dao Hongjun!!"

Just as the two Sages wished to continue their verbal sparring, the Taiqing Saint spoke.

As the head of the Three Pure Ones and Hongjun's chief disciple.

His prestige remained considerable.

And within the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun's figure also appeared.

"The Immeasurable Tribulation Qi is growing denser and denser. What exactly is happening???"

Hongjun within the Heavenly Dao frantically deduced the answer.

Yet whenever he reached a critical moment, an overbearing force would always isolate his deductions.

As Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

He could represent the Heavenly Dao, but he himself was not the Heavenly Dao.

Just as he had said, from this day onward, there would be no Dao Ancestor Hongjun, only Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

He had integrated with the Dao alone.

Put nicely, it was to perfect the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

Put bluntly, if he wished to transcend the Heavenly Dao, then he could only enter the game himself.

As he merged with the Heavenly Dao, he was also gaining the Heavenly Dao's power.

If he succeeded, he could transcend the Heavenly Dao and forge his own Great Dao.

But if he failed, he would become the Heavenly Dao's puppet forever.

Thus, he now had to follow the Heavenly Dao's will.

And the Immeasurable Tribulation.

Was one of its trials!!!

Thus, in the original work, he would exhaust every possible means to complete the Immeasurable Tribulation.

Only with the arrival of the Dharma-Ending Era.

No one knew whether he had ultimately succeeded.

"We must find a way to make the Witch Clan hiding in Pangu Hall come out. Otherwise, if the Demon-Witch Calamity is not eliminated, this world will only become more chaotic!!"

Though Hongjun was also shocked that there were matters in this world beyond his ability to investigate.

It was because.

The backlash caused by breaking such seals was impossible to estimate.

The most direct consequence was bearing the Calamity Qi of the Immeasurable Tribulation.

For example.

The Dragon-Han Three Clans had been released by Zhen Yuanzi of the Earth Sect, Kunpeng of Northern Darkness, and Minghe of the Underworld.

The consequences brought about by this were intimately tied to those three.

For instance, Zhen Yuanzi had used the Book of Earth to temporarily bear the Ancestral Dragon's Calamity Qi.

Kunpeng had used the Northern Darkness Sea Eye to temporarily block Yuan Feng's Calamity Qi.

And Minghe's Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus had blocked the Calamity Qi of the Primordial Qilin.

He could not understand it.

Who else in this world could pay such a grievous price to release the Fierce Beasts?

However.

He was not worried, because everything remained under control.

After all, the core of the problem.

Was the Demon-Witch Calamity.

As long as they were completely resolved, chaos could be set right.

As for the Fierce Beasts and the Dragon-Han Three Clans that had emerged now.

Though they were also a problem.

They had, after all, been suppressed for so many years. One could see from the Dragon-Han Three Clans.

That their strength had long since been reduced to less than one-tenth.

As long as the Demon-Witch Calamity could end, he had other methods to stuff them back into their seals.

Thus, he immediately sent his decree to the Purple Cloud Palace.

Before the gates of Pangu Hall.

"Laugh, then. Keep laughing!!"

Seeing this.

The Primordial Qilin's expression darkened, yet he remained unmoved.

What darkened his face was that even a mere junior dared mock him.

What left him unmoved was that he naturally had his own contingencies.

Thus, he was not anxious in the slightest.

"The Primordial Purple Qi is ownerless. None of us should laugh at the others."

"Why don't we each return first and designate this place as a forbidden ground?"

"What do you say???"

Seeing this, Di Jun thought of a compromise.

"Your Demon Race thinks it can negotiate terms with us!!"

The moment Yuan Feng heard this, she was displeased.

Back in their Dragon-Han era, there had been no such thing as the Demon Race.

They were collectively called the myriad races.

Unlike now, when they were uniformly called demons.

As one of the protagonists of the First Dragon-Han Calamity, Yuan Feng did not acknowledge such a term.

Thus, she only regarded this Demon Race as the race ruled by Di Jun.

Furthermore.

Given their status, if they regained their complete strength, the juniors of today would not be a match for even one combined strike from them.

Thus, they looked down on Di Jun and Tai Yi from the bottom of their hearts.

Had the Cosmic Starry Sky Grand Formation not appeared, they would have already been killed by the Dragon-Han Three Ancestors.

Watching them babble before the three of them like clownish buffoons, Yuan Feng wanted to blast their primordial spirits apart.
