Slaying a Great Firmament Golden Immortal Ferocious Beast! The Primordial World Trembles

Seeing that Li Yi had already fallen into their "encirclement," Qiongqi and the ferocious beasts under his command slowly revealed themselves.

Staring at Li Yi from ten thousand miles away, a vicious glint rose in Qiongqi's eyes.

"You are Heaven-Earth Daoist?"

After years of slaughter, Li Yi's reputation had gradually spread across the Primordial Continent.

A smile rested on Li Yi's face as he sized up the ferocious beasts before him.

"You are Qiongqi? What a pity... you came alone..."

After today, aside from Shenni, the other ferocious beasts would all have to steer clear of him. Since only Qiongqi had come, Li Yi naturally found it regrettable.

Feeling Li Yi's gaze, Qiongqi was greatly enraged. It would have been one thing if the Daoist before him showed no fear, but that look—as if he regarded Qiongqi as prey—was truly hard for him to accept.

Without needing his command, the ferocious beasts under him all lunged at Li Yi.

In an instant, baleful energy filled the entire space. When cultivators of other races faced such baleful energy, their strength would generally drop by at least thirty percent.

Even while fighting, they would hold back, fearing that the baleful energy would enter their bodies and damage their cultivation, or taint their precious treasures and lower their grades.

Yet Li Yi remained utterly calm. He did not even need the purification power of the Pure World Lotus Platform to protect himself, allowing the baleful energy to crash against his body.

He was a Chaos Demon God! This so-called baleful energy might be effective against Primordial Divines, but to him, it was no different from any other spiritual energy.

Seeing Li Yi make no defense and allow the baleful energy to strike him, Qiongqi was delighted at first. The next moment, his eyes abruptly widened, disbelief filling his crimson pupils.

Of the great cultivators they had encountered in the past, which one had not guarded against the baleful energy they released, terrified of being tainted by even the slightest trace? Yet this Heaven-Earth Daoist was completely unaffected beneath it. Could he be a ferocious beast who had taken human form?

In that instant, Qiongqi felt some trepidation. He was merely reckless, not stupid.

For ferocious beasts like them, the baleful energy covering their bodies accounted for half their abilities. If their opponent feared no baleful energy, the balance between offense and defense could easily reverse.

However, while Qiongqi was considering retreat, Li Yi had no intention of letting go of Merit delivered to his doorstep. After circulating his mana, he raised the Twelfth-Grade Pure World Lotus Platform beneath him. Pure white purification power rippled outward, striking the encircling ferocious beasts head-on. The ferocious beasts below the Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm had no ability to resist and were instantly annihilated by the purification power of the Pure World White Lotus!

Although the Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level ferocious beasts withstood the first wave, thirty percent of the baleful energy on their bodies was instantly stripped away!

Seeing this, Qiongqi no longer had any desire to continue fighting and immediately ordered a retreat.

"Retreat!"

But since they wanted to flee, how could Li Yi possibly let go of the Merit delivered to him? The Five-Colored Treasure Flags flew from his sleeves and expanded. The finger-sized flags swelled in the wind, instantly becoming gigantic banners that stood in five directions. They formed a Primordial Sealing Formation, trapping all the ferocious beasts attempting to escape.

Qiongqi took a single step. Without the formation's seal, that step would have carried him billions of miles away. Yet with the formation sealing both the array and space itself, that step only took him several hundred thousand miles. To beings at their level, that was no different from walking slowly.

Li Yi was in no hurry. As the lotus platform operated, pure white purification power shot toward a fleeing Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level ferocious beast. Under the purifying immortal light, the beast, which had already lost thirty percent of its baleful energy, was instantly annihilated!

In truth, even with Li Yi's Quasi-Saint cultivation, exterminating ferocious beasts should not have been so easy. The Twelfth-Rank Pure World White Lotus's purification power simply countered ferocious beasts perfectly. Combined with Li Yi's abundant mana refining it, he could unleash twelve parts of the Pure World White Lotus's power. Thus, even Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level ferocious beasts could not withstand two moves from him!

As the Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level ferocious beast fell, a blood-red pillar of baleful energy stretching ten million kilometers shot into the sky, and the baleful energy in the area slowly dissipated somewhat.

This disturbance naturally alarmed all the mighty cultivators nearby. Countless Primordial World cultivators emerged from their secluded cultivation grounds, looked toward the phenomenon here, and began calculating with their fingers.

"This is... the phenomenon of a ferocious beast's death?"

"The heavens have revealed a phenomenon. A Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level ferocious beast has fallen!"

"Which race has made a move? The Dragon Clan? Or the Phoenix Clan?"

Seeing that escape was impossible, Qiongqi turned to face Li Yi. Though his eyes were fierce, his heart was weak.

"Our emperor has already learned of the phenomenon here and is on his way! If you do not withdraw at once, you will surely meet your death..."

A faint smile appeared on Li Yi's face at those words.

"Then I want to give it an even greater try!"

The three clans were currently encircling the ferocious beasts. Shenni was likely being held up by the three clans' ancestors, the Dao Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor, and the others. How could he possibly free himself and come here?

Besides, Shenni's cultivation might be slightly higher than Li Yi's, but Li Yi possessed the Pure World White Lotus, which could restrain Shenni to the greatest extent. If Shenni truly came personally, it was still uncertain who would live and who would die!

Seeing Li Yi's eager attitude, despair rose in Qiongqi's heart.

He understood now. The Daoist before him was likely no weaker than the emperor of their race. No wonder he could suppress them so effortlessly, leaving them unable to fight back! Qiongqi had thought Li Yi merely relied on the advantage of a magic treasure, but now it seemed that this Daoist himself had also entered that realm...

Li Yi had no interest in wasting words. He activated the Pure World White Lotus and repeatedly unleashed purification power, eradicating those Great Firmament-level ferocious beasts.

At most, after two blasts of purification power, a Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level ferocious beast would fall.

One blood-red pillar after another soared into the sky. The mighty cultivators throughout the Primordial World all sensed it and began calculating with their fingers.

"Qiongqi, one of the Four Ferocious Beast Kings, is destined to fall today?"

"What terrifying killing intent. There is no chance of survival!"

"The final calamity is about to begin..."

"Which race is Qiongqi's death calamity tied to? Why can't I deduce even the slightest clue? Is it the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, or did Primordial Qilin personally make a move?"

Meanwhile, within the Ancestral Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Ancestral Dragon, who had been seated upon his throne, also changed expression drastically and rose after slamming the throne's armrest.

"Impudent!"

Each of the Four Ferocious Beast Kings carried one-tenth of the Fortune of the ferocious beast race. Together with the Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level ferocious beasts under their command, they accounted for nearly one-sixth of the ferocious beast race's Fortune!

In other words, whoever could exterminate one of the Four Kings and the ferocious beasts under him would surely swallow one-sixth of the Fortune remaining after the Calamity Cycle!

Over the years, the three clans had each secretly planned to eliminate the Four Ferocious Beast Kings. The Dragon Clan had chosen Qiongqi among the four.

Of course, Qiongqi had been extremely cautious. Under normal circumstances, he would never personally place himself in danger, instead sending Great Firmament-level ferocious beasts under his command to lead the beast tides.

Yet now, before they had even made their move, Qiongqi's death calamity had arrived today? Even if they rushed over now, it would be too late!

No. Once Qiongqi died, the other three kings would become even more vigilant. If he did not act now, the Dragon Clan would have no chance left!

Without the slightest hesitation, Ancestral Dragon activated a communication Spirit Treasure and transmitted an order to his offspring.

"Gather every clansman above the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal realm and accompany me to Buzhou Mountain to kill Hundun!"

The person on the other end of the Spirit Treasure hesitated slightly, but still answered respectfully.

"Yes, Father!"

After putting away the communication Spirit Treasure, the anger in Ancestral Dragon's heart did not lessen in the slightest. All the preparations he had made for Qiongqi were now useless!

Chaos the Ferocious Beast was thirty percent stronger than Qiongqi. Now that he had been alerted, the number of clansmen sacrificed this time would likely exceed their prior estimates...

With that thought in mind, Ancestral Dragon furiously smashed the throne's armrest.

"Who exactly killed Qiongqi? Hongjun? Luohou? You have ruined my Dragon Clan's great undertaking. After the Calamity Cycle, there will surely be a reckoning!"
