Slaying a Great Firmament Golden Immortal Fierce Beast! The Primordial World Trembled

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

Qiongqi gazed at Li Yi, ten thousand li away, a vicious glint rising in his eyes.

"You're the Heaven-Earth Daoist?"

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

A smile on his face, Li Yi sized up the Fierce Beasts before him.

"So you're Qiongqi? What a shame... You came alone..."

After today, every Fierce Beast but Shenni would give him a wide berth. Naturally, he regretted that only Qiongqi had come.

The look in Li Yi's eyes infuriated Qiongqi. It was bad enough that the Daoist showed no fear, but Qiongqi could not stomach being regarded like prey.

His subordinates needed no order. They all lunged at Li Yi.

In an instant, Fiendish Qi filled the space. Cultivators of other races would generally lose at least thirty percent of their strength in its presence.

They would fight cautiously, terrified that Fiendish Qi might enter their bodies and damage their Dao Attainment, or taint their treasures and lower their grade.

Li Yi, however, remained perfectly calm. He did not even use the Pure World Lotus Platform's Purification Power to shield himself, letting the Fiendish Qi wash over him.

He was a Chaos Demon God! This so-called Fiendish Qi might affect a Primordial Divine, but to him it was no different from any other Spiritual Qi.

Seeing Li Yi make no attempt to defend himself, Qiongqi was delighted at first. The next moment, his scarlet eyes widened in disbelief.

Every powerful Cultivator they had encountered had guarded desperately against their Fiendish Qi, afraid to let even a trace touch them! Yet the Heaven-Earth Daoist was wholly unaffected. Had he been a Fierce Beast in human form all along?

Qiongqi felt a chill. He was reckless, not stupid.

For Fierce Beasts like them, Fiendish Qi accounted for half their strength. Against someone immune to it, the balance of power could easily turn.

Qiongqi was ready to retreat, but Li Yi had no intention of letting this Merit delivered to his doorstep escape. He channeled his Magic Power and sent the Twelfth-Grade Pure World Lotus Platform beneath him aloft. White Purification Power rippled outward. The Fierce Beasts charging him took the full force of it. Those below the Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm had no power to resist and were instantly annihilated by the Pure World White Lotus's Purification Power!

The Great Firmament Golden Immortal Fierce Beasts survived the first wave, but thirty percent of their Fiendish Qi vanished at once!

At that sight, Qiongqi lost all desire to fight and ordered a retreat without hesitation.

"Retreat!"

But Li Yi would never let Merit delivered to his doorstep run away. The Five-Colored Treasure Flags flew from his sleeve and swelled in the wind, growing from finger-sized pennants into banners ten thousand zhang tall. They took positions in five directions, forming a Primordial Sealing Formation that trapped every Fierce Beast trying to flee.

Qiongqi took a step. Without the formation sealing space, it would have carried him hundreds of millions of li away. Instead, he traveled only a few hundred thousand li—no faster than a stroll for someone at his level.

Li Yi was in no hurry. As the Lotus Platform turned, white Purification Power shot toward a fleeing Great Firmament Golden Immortal Fierce Beast. Under the Purifying Immortal Light, the beast, already stripped of thirty percent of its Fiendish Qi, was annihilated instantly!

Even at the Quasi-Saint realm, Li Yi could not normally have slain Fierce Beasts so easily. But the Twelfth-Rank Pure World White Lotus's Purification Power was their natural bane. Fueled by his immense Magic Power, it could unleash more than its full might. Even a Great Firmament Golden Immortal Fierce Beast could not withstand two strikes!

As the Great Firmament Golden Immortal Fierce Beast fell, a pillar of blood-red Fiendish Qi spanning tens of millions of kilometers surged into the sky. The Fiendish Qi in the area thinned somewhat.

The disturbance naturally startled every mighty Cultivator nearby. Countless Cultivators across the Primordial World emerged from seclusion, gazed toward the omen, and began calculating its cause.

"Is that an omen of a Fierce Beast's death?"

"Heaven and Earth produced an omen! A Great Firmament Golden Immortal Fierce Beast has fallen!"

"Which clan is responsible? The Dragon Clan? Or the Phoenix Clan?"

Seeing that escape was hopeless, Qiongqi turned to Li Yi. His fierce glare could not hide his fear.

"Our Huang knows of this omen and is surely on his way! If you don't leave at once, you may well die here..."

A smile rose to Li Yi's face.

"Now I want to try my luck even more!"

The Three Clans were hunting the Fierce Beasts. Shenni was probably occupied by the ancestors of the Three Clans, the Dao Ancestor, and the Demon Ancestor. How could he get away?

Besides, Shenni's cultivation might be slightly above his, but Li Yi had the Pure World White Lotus to counter him. If Shenni came in person, the victor was far from certain!

Li Yi's eagerness filled Qiongqi with despair.

Now he understood. The Daoist before him was probably no weaker than his people's Huang. No wonder he had overwhelmed them so easily! Qiongqi had thought it was all thanks to his Dharma Treasure, but the Daoist himself had entered that realm...

Li Yi wasted no more words. He activated the Pure World White Lotus and sent out successive waves of Purification Power, erasing the Great Firmament Fierce Beasts.

At most, two waves of Purification Power were enough to slay a Great Firmament Golden Immortal Fierce Beast.

One Blood-Colored Light Pillar after another shot into the sky. Nearly every mighty Cultivator in the Primordial World sensed it and began calculating what had happened.

"Is Qiongqi, one of the Four Kings of the Fierce Beasts, fated to fall today?"

"What terrifying killing intent. He has no chance of surviving!"

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

"Which clan has brought about Qiongqi's Death Tribulation? Why can't I calculate a thing? Is it the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, or has the Primordial Qilin acted in person?"

Meanwhile, in the Ancestral Dragon Palace beneath the East Sea.

The Ancestral Dragon's expression changed sharply. He slammed a hand against the armrest and rose from his Throne.

"How dare they!"

Each of the Fierce Beasts' Four Kings carried a tenth of their race's Fortune. Together with the Great Firmament Golden Immortal Fierce Beasts under a king's command, that amounted to nearly a sixth of the race's Fortune!

In other words, whoever destroyed one of the Four Kings and his followers would claim a full sixth of the Fortune available after the Calamity Cycle!

For years, each of the Three Clans had secretly plotted to eliminate one of the Four Kings. The Dragon Clan had chosen Qiongqi.

Qiongqi, of course, was cautious. He rarely put himself in danger, usually sending Great Firmament Fierce Beasts to command the Beast Tides instead.

And now, before they could act, Qiongqi's Death Tribulation had arrived? Even if the Ancestral Dragon rushed over, he would be too late!

No. Once Qiongqi dies, the other three kings will be even more vigilant. If we don't act now, the Dragon Clan will lose its chance!

Without a moment's hesitation, the Ancestral Dragon activated his Voice-Transmission Spirit Treasure and issued an order to his offspring.

"Gather every clan member at or above the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal realm. Come with me to Buzhou Mountain. We're killing Chaos the Ferocious Beast!"

The person on the other end hesitated briefly, then answered respectfully.

"Yes, Father!"

The Ancestral Dragon put away the Voice-Transmission Spirit Treasure, but his anger did not abate. All the preparations he had made for Qiongqi were useless now!

Chaos the Ferocious Beast was even stronger than Qiongqi. With Chaos now on guard, the Dragon Clan would likely lose more members than he had originally expected...

At the thought, the Ancestral Dragon smashed the Throne's armrest in fury.

"Who killed Qiongqi? Hongjun? Luohou? Whoever ruined the Dragon Clan's plans will answer for it after the Calamity Cycle!"
