Even Wang Shi jumped in fright at the Chaos Fierce Beast that suddenly charged out.
As a bystander, he had not detected any trace of him.
It was easy to imagine just how intelligent this Chaos Fierce Beast must have been.
He had hidden here long ago, waiting for the Little Girl to walk into his trap.
The sight left Wang Shi shocked and shaken.
At that moment, Wang Shi finally thought of a god.
Indeed, the Chaos Fierce Beasts had actually had someone backing them in ancient times.
That was the legendary Beast Emperor Shen Ni.
Almost single-handedly, he had swept across the entire Primordial World.
Countless Chaos Fierce Beasts had waged war throughout the Primordial World, nearly wiping out its other races.
They had accomplished this because of Shen Ni's immense power.
The reason Wang Shi thought of him was that this Fierce Beast's methods bore an uncanny resemblance to Shen Ni's back then.
Back then, Beast Emperor Shen Ni had loved ambushes above all else, and he possessed the ability to create clones. This was also why the Beast Emperor had been so difficult to kill and so formidable in battle.
Wang Shi roared, suddenly appearing before a Fierce Beast and throwing a crushing punch.
The terrifying Fierce Beast and Wang Shi were both sent flying backward, shattering an untold number of Primordial Ancient Trees.
With Wang Shi's help.
The fierce young woman seized the Fierce Beast by the jaws.
With nothing but her physical strength, she actually pried his jaws apart.
"Die!"
Amid her furious roar.
She tore the Fierce Beast's mouth apart by brute force, nearly splitting his head wide open.
Wang Shi, who had just climbed to his feet, froze.
What a ferocious woman—she could actually tear a Fierce Beast apart with her bare hands.
How immense must her strength have been? It was downright horrifying.
More importantly, she was still only a Little Girl. There was no telling how powerful she would become once she grew up.
He only called her little because her body was smaller than Wang Shi's true form.
By the standards of ordinary Primordial World Lifeforms, she was actually enormous.
Soon, the battle between the four reached a fever pitch.
Wang Shi and the Fierce Beast traded terrifying blows, every punch striking flesh, neither holding anything back.
Before long, wounds covered both their bodies.
The Little Girl was also surrounded by danger. More and more Fierce Beasts appeared around them, and all of them charged at her.
After their fierce exchanges, Wang Shi soon discovered that every one of these Fierce Beasts actually carried the aura of Shen Ni, the ancient emperor of Fierce Beasts.
Moreover, they looked almost identical. Wang Shi reached an astonishing, almost unbelievable conclusion.
These fellows before him might all have been Beast Emperor Shen Ni.
And there was only one reason he had created so many clones: self-preservation.
Beast Emperor Shen Ni had been extraordinarily powerful back then, but in the end, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin progenitors had led the many mighty figures of the Primordial World in slaughtering him utterly.
Though Wang Shi did not know how he had survived, it at least proved one thing: he still feared death.
"Kill!"
Wang Shi roared.
His body instantly swelled to several times its original size.
He unleashed a fierce punch, smashing a gigantic beast of the Primordial World apart.
"Heaven-and-earth embodiment!"
His body grew once more, almost blotting out the entire sky.
In an instant, he became a towering behemoth.
Under his relentless attacks, one little fellow after another was flattened into a meat pancake.
Once he realized there was no way he could succeed.
Beast Emperor Shen Ni's clones instantly scattered in every direction.
"Where did this monster come from? He's terrifying!"
He was utterly panic-stricken.
Only then did Wang Shi breathe a sigh of relief.
We won.
The Little Girl also sat down on the ground in exhaustion.
"Thank you. What's your name?"
Wang Shi laughed heartily.
"My name is Little Shi."
The Little Girl paused, giving him a surprised look.
"Oh, I'm Little Tu. Looks like fate brought us together."
After talking with her, he learned that Little Tu had slipped out behind her elder brothers' backs to explore the Primordial World.
She had never expected to encounter Fierce Beasts like these.
Fortunately, she had met Wang Shi. Otherwise, she would have been in dire straits.
Meanwhile, Wang Shi also developed some interest in her. Few girls could be this fierce.
Not only was this girl fierce, but she was also powerful, almost his equal.
Most importantly, she had a valiant, spirited bearing that he found quite appealing.
The two enjoyed a lively conversation.
They therefore decided to travel through the Primordial World together. Little Tu was very talkative and kindhearted, often saving the living beings of the Primordial World.
A deep sadness always showed in her eyes. Especially when she saw those Lost Souls with nowhere to go, she felt utterly powerless.
She often tearfully complained to Wang Shi, asking why these fellows insisted on fighting and killing. Didn't they get tired?
Wang Shi could only keep trying to comfort her.
After all, some things were truly beyond their control.
And so, as they drew ever closer to Buzhou Mountain.
One day, Little Tu suddenly spoke.
"I'm home. Bye-bye."
She had appeared suddenly and left just as suddenly.
Their journey had been thoroughly enjoyable, yet it ended with a tinge of melancholy.
Watching Little Tu disappear, Wang Shi felt regret in his heart.
Still, he could only shake his head helplessly. His one regret was that, from beginning to end, he had never managed to find out where she lived.
She seemed to be quite evasive about that question.
"Beneath this vast sky, upon this boundless earth, where is home?"
With some regret, Wang Shi set off up Buzhou Mountain alone.
Before long, he noticed something strange.
He discovered that someone was undertaking extensive construction on Buzhou Mountain and had even built the Pangu Temple. After carefully examining it.
Only after contacting his true form did he discover who was responsible.
It was actually the Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan.
Their reason was that they had discovered the Pangu Dao Fruit here.
As for what they called the Pangu Dao Fruit, it was actually the remnants of a Dao fruit left behind when the Pangu Divine Axe had been buried on Buzhou Mountain.
Wang Shi found this amusing.
He decided to pay these neighbors a visit first.
After all, Buzhou Mountain was his true form. Surely they owed him an explanation for building a divine palace on his body.
He made his way step by step toward the mountainside and soon arrived at the entrance to the Pangu Temple.
As expected of the Witch Clan, the Pangu Temple was truly resplendent in gold and jade, bringing together all kinds of spiritual materials. Most striking of all was its immense size: it stood thousands of zhang tall. Even with his physique, when he looked up, he actually saw clouds.
He politely knocked a few times on the Pangu Temple's main doors.
"Is anyone there? I am the Spirit of Buzhou Mountain, here to pay my respects to the venerable Ancestral Witches."
Come to think of it, when the Three Pure Ones had become Quasi-Saints, the Twelve Ancestral Witches seemed to have been present as well.
But there had been too many mighty figures there at the time, and he had not paid them much attention.
After calling out several times, Wang Shi's expression gradually grew grave.
For some reason, they were actually ignoring him.
There was not even the slightest sound.
Hmm? That shouldn't be. There are clearly people inside.
He had sensed ten signs of life through his true form. Why would they not come out to meet him?
Meanwhile, inside the Pangu Temple, the Ten Ancestral Witches wore grave expressions.
"Are you sure it's that kid?"
"Yes, absolutely. I said we shouldn't build the Pangu Temple here. See? He's come knocking!"
