Great Supernatural Being, Heaven-Earth Daoist

Inside the sealing grand array, Li Yi had already slaughtered all Great Firmament-level ferocious beasts. Pure white purification power filled the entire space, and the baleful aura within this world had grown so thin it was almost imperceptible.

Qiongqi knew he could not escape, so naturally he used all his strength to resist. However, his primary offensive method was baleful aura, which struck Li Yi's Demon God physical body like nothing more than a gentle scratch.

Accompanied by the descent of the final strand of purification power, the baleful aura Qiongqi relied upon for survival, along with his divine soul, was completely obliterated. He only had time to emit a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar of reluctance before Qiongqi's physical body slowly collapsed onto the Primordial World earth.

Boom!

Accompanied by Qiongqi's fall, this Primordial World once again surged with a blood-colored light pillar, except this light pillar spanned hundreds of millions of kilometers, its might at least ten times more terrifying than when the previous Great Firmament-level ferocious beasts had fallen.

This commotion naturally gave quite a shock to the surrounding cultivators who had come to observe the activity here.

"This commotion... The ferocious beast Qiongqi has fallen!"

"Did he really fall? With this grand array sealing the area, exactly which clan's doing is this?"

"No, are these the Innate Five Direction Flags? It's the legendary Great Supernatural Being, the Yin-Yang Daoist!?"

"The Yin-Yang Daoist? Rumored to be among the earliest sacred entities between heaven and earth, his strength can rival the ancestors of the three clans, and his background is very mysterious..."

While the crowd discussed in low voices, those five-colored array flags slowly shrank and withdrew, revealing the true appearance within.

Looking at the green-robed Daoist standing tall in the void, the crowd felt a shock in their hearts. Some who had heard legends of Li Yi instantly recognized his identity.

"That's... the Heaven-Earth Daoist?"

"Not the Yin-Yang Daoist? Then why are the Innate Five Direction Flags in his hands?"

"Who knows, perhaps he is a close friend of the Yin-Yang Daoist and borrowed the treasure to eliminate the ferocious beasts..."

Regardless of how the crowd rumored privately, facing such a Great Supernatural Being who had successively slaughtered more than ten Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level ferocious beasts, the cultivators did not dare show the slightest disrespect, and one after another cupped their hands and bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Heaven-Earth!"

Li Yi nodded slightly and did not stay long, transforming into a cyan stream of light to depart. The crowd in the arena watched Li Yi leave, only relaxing once his figure was no longer visible.

"The Heaven-Earth Daoist? I had heard before that such a Daoist had emerged between heaven and earth to kill ferocious beasts, but previously he at most slaughtered ferocious beasts at the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal realm. I thought he was at most at the early Great Firmament Golden Immortal stage..."

" Alone, he slaughtered over a dozen Great Firmament-level ferocious beasts, and even the Peak Great Firmament Golden Immortal Qiongqi. This person... is probably also a Quasi-Saint!"

"Between heaven and earth, yet another unprovokable Great Supernatural Being has emerged!"

The Primordial World keeps no count of years; in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years passed.

On Penglai Island, atop a jade platform crafted from Innate Divine Jade, Li Yi took out the Cosmos Cauldron and looked at his harvest from this "beast-extermination."

After killing Qiongqi, the other three clans also moved quickly, each wiping out one of the four evils within a thousand years.

The Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan each lost three Great Firmament Golden Immortals, while the Dragon Clan suffered the heaviest losses, directly losing five Great Firmament Golden Immortals.

Of course, heavy though the losses were, the various clans still slaughtered the four kings! Now, apart from that concealed Beast Emperor Shen Ni, the remaining ferocious beasts had all been wiped out. It could be said that the Beast Calamity Tribulation was nearing its end!

Seeing that the three kings had fallen and the Great Firmament-level ferocious beasts had either been slaughtered or gone into hiding with that beast emperor, Li Yi didn't bother spending extra effort and directly returned to his own Daoist sanctuary.

This time slaughtering ferocious beasts, aside from the Merit that had yet to arrive, he had also collected quite a few Innate Spirit Treasures.

Although ferocious beasts could not use spirit treasures, much like hoarding treasures, whether they encountered Innate Spirit Treasures or obtained them by killing cultivators, they basically gathered them all and treated them as a collection. Now it all went to Li Yi for free.

There were a total of seven Innate Spirit Treasures, including one High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, three Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and the rest all being low-grade.

Aside from that Dao Seal at the High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure level, which still offered Li Yi some slight assistance, the rest of the spirit treasures were all stored away by him.

If he were to take in disciples or cultivate his own forces in the future, they could certainly come in handy...

Just as he was thinking this, a flash of inspiration struck Li Yi. He pinched his fingers to calculate, and with a flash of his figure, he instantly vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, outside the Innate grand array, a gray-robed man wore a smile on his face, observing the grand array before him with great interest and quietly waiting for something.

A stream of light flashed, and Li Yi's figure had already appeared ten thousand miles away from him. The two sized each other up, and it was Li Yi who first smiled and greeted.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

The person before him was clearly also at the Primordial Unity Supreme Immortal realm! Crucially, that aura of fellow Chaos Demon God made him exceptionally familiar.

This was his first time seeing a Chaos Demon God other than himself!

More importantly, the newcomer clearly harbored no hostility, revealing his form right outside the formation without concealing the heavenly secrets and letting him deduce it freely.

The gray-robed man had a handsome face with simple black hair tied back. Looking at Li Yi before him, he smiled in return and replied.

"I am Yang Mei! Fellow Daoist Qiankun may also call me the Spatial Daoist!"

Li Yi's smile remained on his face, though he was secretly startled inside.

The Spatial Demon God Yang Mei? This person should be the one with the deepest level of comprehension among the surviving Chaos Demon Gods! After the Dao-Devil War, the Great Immortal Yang Mei engaged in a Dao discussion and magical combat with Hongjun, taking away the magic treasure Hongjun had cast out, leading Hongjun to admit he was slightly inferior in his comprehension of the "Dao."

Of course, this person also possessed the most detached temperament. Otherwise, given his abilities, had the Dao-Devil War turned out differently, he would have had a chance to contend for the Dao.

Thinking this inwardly, Li Yi was not slow in his actions. He released the grand array restrictions and invited Yang Mei inside.

Yang Mei observed the island with great interest, the smile on his face never fading.

"Previously I heard of Fellow Daoist's affairs, yet could not calculate even a fraction of Fellow Daoist's background, so I simply came to pay a visit and meet Fellow Daoist! Now seeing you, you truly are a person of the same path..."

As he spoke these words, Yang Mei even carried a touch of genuine sincerity, as though it were a reunion of old friends.

Hearing this, Li Yi understood inwardly.

The person of the same path he spoke of referred to seeing through his identity as fellow Chaos Demon Gods. Before the creation, they might have had grudges against one another, but after the Creation Tribulation, only a handful of the three thousand demon gods managed to survive by luck. Whatever grudges existed dissipated with that great tribulation that engulfed all demon gods.

Meeting now in the post-creation Primordial World, there was naturally a sense of "encountering an old friend in a distant land."

Aside from opponents with a tribulation to contend for the Dao like Hongjun and Luohou, when other Chaos Demon Gods met in the Primordial World, there was mostly a mutual appreciation and the joy of seeing an old acquaintance.

Li Yi nodded slightly, leading Yang Mei to a pavilion he had constructed from divine jade, personally taking out tea sets and the leaves fallen from the supreme-grade innate tea tree on the immortal island, treating him as an honored guest.

Yang Mei took a sip of the spiritual tea, and the smile on his face deepened.

"Having met Fellow Daoist today, how about you and I engage in a Dao discussion?"

In this era, everyone had their own Dao path. If their realms were not too far apart, discussing the Dao with one another served both as casual conversation and as a mutual reference for their Dao paths.

Naturally, Li Yi had no intention of refusing a Dao discussion with a Chaos Demon God whose realm was clearly higher than his own.

"Very well!"
