Mount Buzhou was simply too vast. The five Calabash Kids had traveled through its mountains for nearly ten thousand years before finally making their way out.
Yet the moment they stepped beyond Mount Buzhou, they felt none of the joy they had expected.
Though the world outside appeared boundless, its spiritual energy was far less abundant than Mount Buzhou's, and there were no spiritual plants or spiritual treasures scattered everywhere.
Still, the Primordial World held something Mount Buzhou did not: the unknown and the novel.
Brimming with curiosity, they began exploring the Primordial World, only to encounter their first sudden crisis before long.
Three giant dragons appeared out of nowhere. Their colossal bodies were covered in scales that gleamed with cold metallic light beneath the sun, and dragon might filled the surrounding air.
All three dragons were powerful Early Primordial Unity Golden Immortals.
Without another word, they launched a direct attack on the Calabash Kids.
Though Da Wa felt a trace of apprehension, his determination to protect his brothers outweighed it.
His gaze was resolute as he shouted, "Third Brother, protect Second Brother. Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, each of you take one dragon. Let's go together!"
With that, he swung the massive axe in his hand and charged toward one of the giant dragons.
Da Wa had cultivated in Mount Buzhou for many years and fought countless strange beasts within its mountains, giving him exceedingly rich combat experience.
At that moment, he used every skill at his disposal. His axe whistled through the air with tiger-like force, every blow carrying the weight of a thousand jun, and he actually began to suppress the giant dragon.
As for Si Wa and Wu Wa, although their combat experience was somewhat lacking by comparison, neither of them feared the enemy.
Si Wa took a deep breath, spiritual power surging within him as he instantly spewed out a blazing torrent of flame. The fire was like a rampaging fire serpent, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it swept toward the giant dragon.
Wu Wa formed hand seals with both hands and summoned roaring waves, like a surging water dragon, launching a fierce assault at another dragon.
From the rear, Xiao Teng watched the fierce battle anxiously through Er Wa's vision.
He had originally been unwilling to provoke a powerful race like the Dragon Clan. After all, in the years to come in the Primordial World, the Dragon Clan would shine brilliantly and become one of the rulers of heaven and earth.
But these Dragon Clan members had gone too far. They actually dared to dream of devouring the Calabash Kids.
"Fight! Hit them hard! Skin them and pull out their tendons!"
The three giant dragons were also deeply shocked. They had never expected these three little children to possess such abilities.
Whether it was Da Wa's strength, Si Wa's flames, or Wu Wa's water, all of it was remarkably powerful and difficult to deal with.
Realizing they were outmatched, fear gradually rose in the dragons' hearts, and they prepared to flee.
But how could the Calabash Kids let them off so easily? Daddy had said they had to skin them and pull out their tendons.
Thus, the Calabash Kids all rushed forward.
Da Wa grabbed a giant dragon's tail with one hand and gave it a violent swing. Accompanied by an angry roar, he hurled the dragon high into the sky.
The giant dragon twisted its body in terror in midair, letting out mournful cries.
Seizing the moment, Da Wa leaped high into the air and stomped brutally onto the dragon's body. The blow came down like Mount Tai crushing the summit. The dragon slammed into the ground, instantly creating an enormous crater as dust flew everywhere.
Da Wa did not pause in the slightest and swung the Geng Metal Mountain-Splitting Axe again. The axe blade ripped through the air with a sharp howl and cleaved directly into the giant dragon's body.
In that instant, blood erupted like a gushing spring. The giant dragon's body convulsed in agony before it was ultimately hacked into two pieces.
Si Wa and Wu Wa stood side by side.
Si Wa opened his mouth, and roaring flames surged forth.
Their scorching heat was enough to make the air ripple with layer upon layer of distorted heatwaves.
Like agile fire serpents, the flames swiftly wound toward the giant dragon, instantly turning its surroundings into a sea of fire.
Wu Wa was not to be outdone. He drew in a deep breath, and a dark, deep-blue torrent burst from his mouth. The water roared and surged as if it possessed intelligence, forming an airtight trapping formation.
The Dragon Clan had always been the finest among aquatic creatures, born with extraordinary control over water.
Yet before the water unleashed by Wu Wa, they were utterly helpless.
Under the merciless roasting of the flames and the ceaseless erosion of the divine water, the two giant dragons struggled in agony.
Their massive bodies writhed continuously within the trapping formation, releasing thunderous roars and mournful cries.
But it was all futile. As time passed, the true spirits of the two giant dragons were completely extinguished, and their enormous bodies turned into piles of ash.
Following Daddy's words, Da Wa skinned the giant dragon corpses and pulled out their tendons, every movement clean and decisive.
Once he was done, he signaled to Si Wa.
Si Wa understood and used his fire power once more, burning the remaining dragon corpses completely to ash.
They clearly remembered Daddy's words: only children who knew how to destroy corpses and erase all traces were good children.
"Leave quickly. Be careful of other Dragon Clan members," Xiao Teng said.
Who knew whether the Dragon Clan currently had any Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals? With the Calabash Kids' current strength, they were not yet a match for Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
So, to avoid the Dragon Clan seeking revenge, it was better to lie low for now.
"Okay, Daddy."
The Calabash Kids immediately headed northwest.
The Calabash Kids were all Primordial Unity Golden Immortals. With all five joining forces, their strength could not be underestimated. Even against an opponent in the Mid Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, they had sufficient confidence and strength to fight.
During the journey that followed, they encountered several minor conflicts, but with their tacit cooperation, they easily resolved them all. The overall journey went rather smoothly, and they did not encounter any true life-threatening danger.
However, when they entered the area near Phoenix Perch Mountain, a powerful and evil aura rushed toward them.
The Calabash Kids immediately became alert. Er Wa's gaze swept the surroundings like blazing torches, and he spotted a gigantic ferocious beast emanating a terrifying aura.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Before long, the ferocious beast appeared before them.
Dense Killing Intent shrouded the beast's entire body, and its cultivation had already reached the Mid Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm.
After the great calamity war of the ferocious beasts, most ferocious beasts had been slaughtered by innate divine spirits and reduced to ashes.
Yet a small number had taken advantage of the chaos to escape successfully. The ferocious beast before them was one of them.
Ferocious beasts possessed little intelligence, but their combat power far surpassed that of living beings at the same realm.
Through Er Wa's vision, Xiao Teng clearly saw the ferocious beast's appearance.
It resembled a tiger, yet was not a tiger. A single horn grew from its head, and Killing Intent shrouded its body.
So this was what a ferocious beast looked like.
Seeing the beast's power, he hurriedly warned the Calabash Kids, "All of you, be careful. If you can't defeat it, find a way to escape back."
As long as they could flee back to Mount Buzhou, the mountain's great formation would block the ferocious beast outside.
Yet the Calabash Kids showed no fear. They answered in unison, "Don't worry, Daddy. We can beat it."
Then, they swiftly gathered together and quietly discussed their tactics. Amid their animated chatter, a simple yet effective battle plan quickly took shape.
Just as Da Wa finished arranging the plan, the ferocious beast let out an earth-shaking roar and charged fiercely toward the Calabash Kids.
It raised its incomparably sharp claws and viciously swiped at Third Baby.
Third Baby showed no intention of retreating. With a loud shout, a layer of golden light appeared across his skin, as though he had donned an indestructible suit of golden armor.
He stepped forward and forcefully blocked the ferocious beast's fierce strike.
A deafening boom rang out, like metal and stone colliding.
The ferocious beast felt as though its claw had struck a hard magical treasure. The rebounding force traveled from its claw through its entire body, and an intense pain instantly shot through its paw, as though its bones were about to break.
Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Da Wa let out an angry roar. He clenched his fist, gathered the strength of his entire body, and hurled it at the ferocious beast's head with all his might.
That punch contained boundless power, smashing heavily into the beast's head with the force of mountains collapsing and seas overturning.
The ferocious beast was left dizzy and disoriented by the sudden overwhelming force, its enormous body flying uncontrollably to the side.
It crashed through countless towering trees before barely managing to steady itself.
