"Oh no! It's the end of the world!"
Without any warning, the sky, which had still been fairly clear and transparent,
seemed to have been forcibly cleaved in two by a single slash.
One half was azure blue, like a celestial river pouring down; the other was fiery red, as though the entire sky were burning.
Blue and red tore the heavens apart.
Terrifying pressure spread throughout the Primordial World. All living things bowed their heads. The end of the world had come.
"Heavens! The sky is falling!"
"We're doomed! The gods are angry!"
Within the tribe, which had been relatively peaceful, everyone was suddenly enveloped by the presence of beings from a higher dimension of life.
They all knelt on the ground, begging for mercy over and over.
To them, this was no different from the end of the world.
At the same time, Gu Yuena was suddenly startled awake by this presence inside the wooden hut.
"Another God King?"
Gu Yuena immediately ran outside and looked up into the sky, where two beings comparable to God Kings had actually begun fighting.
"No, this presence far surpasses a God King's. Everything that master I picked up on the cheap said was actually true? In the Primordial World, powerful beings really walk everywhere, as numerous as dogs?"
Gu Yuena found this rather hard to accept. How was it that any powerful being who popped up at random was stronger than her?
Could her master be like this too?
Then when would she ever be able to reclaim the Dragon Kingdom?
Xu You: You're giving me too much credit this time.
Yet barely had Houtu left when Xu You saw this scene, and his expression immediately grew grave.
This scene was all too familiar.
The battle to the death between Gonggong and Zhurong.
The Ancestral Witch of Water and the Ancestral Witch of Fire.
Their Great Daos inherently countered one another. Fire and water could not coexist, so disputes were bound to arise.
But a battle between Quasi-Sages
was the end of the world for the living beings of the present Primordial World.
Rivers filling the sky poured back into the heavens, contending against a blazing sea of fire.
The aftershocks alone had already wiped out every living being across tens of trillions of kilometers.
Fortunately, the two were not so brain-dead as to fight on the Primordial World's main continent, instead battling in the sky.
As for why the other Ancestral Witches had not stopped them? They could not.
Things had never been entirely peaceful among the Ancestral Witches.
This differed from the Demon Court, which appeared united as one. The Demon Court revered Di Jun as its ruler.
Although Nüwa, the Emperor Wa, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Eastern Emperor, also held positions
equal to Di Jun's.
But the former, Nüwa, was a Sage. She merely held a nominal affiliation with the Demon Court and did not concern herself with its affairs.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi shared the same origin as Di Jun. Although Di Jun was revered as the ruler, the two discussed all matters, great and small, together, as close as brothers.
And although the Twelve Ancestral Wu had also been formed from Pangu's blood essence and were, in principle, likewise brothers and sisters,
the problem was that more people meant more disagreements and conflicts.
The greatest conflict was naturally the incompatibility of fire and water.
There was also their stance toward the Demon Court.
The war faction and the cautious faction.
Of course, fights between those two were also quite common.
Naturally, they would not strike to kill.
So the other Ancestral Witches had not paid too much attention either. Brothers only grew closer through a good fight.
Yet what no one had expected was this.
Logically speaking, fire should have been restrained by water.
But no one had expected that Zhurong seemed to have advanced another step in his Great Dao, firmly suppressing Gonggong from the moment the battle began.
Zhurong even felt that Gonggong's war faction was far too radical.
They had not even resolved the internal conflicts within their Witch Clan, yet they wanted to wage war against You Ting to expand their territory.
This was irrational.
So he simply took advantage of his greater strength to defeat Gonggong in one fell swoop.
Within the Witch Clan, strength reigned supreme.
Strength meant the right to speak.
As the Ancestral Witch representing the cautious faction, defeating Gonggong of the war faction would allow him to suppress the war faction.
But no one had expected
that Gonggong, having lost his head, would actually choose to ram headfirst into Mount Buzhou.
Mount Buzhou? What sort of place was that?
It was the pillar of heaven, formed from Pangu's spine.
Gonggong actually charged straight at the pillar of heaven to break it.
Zhurong was dumbfounded on the spot.
Wait, brother, what are you-?
"Gonggong! Stop!"
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent, everyone had originally still been discussing how that demon god was about to slaughter the Primordial World and become a true great demon god.
Then, in the blink of an eye, they were dumbstruck.
An apocalyptic scene unfolded before every Soul Master.
Half was icy azure, half a sky-burning crimson.
Like a world-ending calamity, the battle between these two mighty beings could actually tear heaven and earth apart and overturn the firmament with ease. This power had already exceeded everything they understood.
Especially Yun Ming, who was only one step away from entering the realm of gods.
He was even hailed as the greatest person of the age.
Now, seeing this scene, his scalp prickled.
"This? What tremendous power is this? It can actually overturn the world. I'm afraid even the gods of the Divine Realm couldn't do this."
After all, they were fighting using nothing but their own bodies.
Yet Soul Masters like them had Battle Armor and mechas.
But they seemed utterly incapable of comparing to those two imposing figures within the sky screen.
Just a trace of presence leaking out from the sky screen was already pressing down on every Soul Master across the Douluo Continent until they could barely breathe.
And Sea God Douluo Chen Xinjie was likewise no weaker than Yun Ming.
But the sight in the sky also frightened him until his face turned deathly pale.
With a wave of a hand came power that could destroy heaven and earth.
None of the Soul Masters across the Douluo Continent could imagine how humans managed to survive in a world like that.
A collision with the pillar of heaven, and mountains and rivers toppled!
The entire Primordial World shook.
The six destined Sages had merely obtained Primordial Purple Qi and listened to Hongjun's lectures on the Dao, but had yet to formally enter the Sage realm.
At present, Quasi-Sages still possessed the greatest combat strength in the Primordial World.
Otherwise, had there been a Sage, they could probably have resolved the calamity the instant Mount Buzhou was broken.
Thus, heaven tilted northwest, and the earth sank southeast.
The starry rivers of the nine heavens poured down, and countless fierce winds surged through the breach into the Primordial World's continent.
From underground, earth fire surged up hundreds of millions of feet.
The instant Gonggong struck it, his mind cleared.
He stared at Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven, his eyes filled with horror.
"We're doomed! I've poked a hole in the sky!"
The next moment, the figures of all the remaining Twelve Ancestral Wu appeared.
"Gonggong! What are you doing!" Dijiang's face turned pale. He truly had not expected this.
A fight was a fight, but why did you smash the pillar of heaven?
Especially since the Witch Clan governed the earth, mountains, and rivers, the moment the earth veins fell into chaos, the Witch Clan's lands bore the brunt.
"No more talking. Hurry and stabilize the earth veins and suppress the earth fire."
"A few brothers, work with me to stabilize the Primordial World's sky."
If Gonggong toppling the pillar of heaven truly caused living beings to be plunged into misery, then their entire Witch Clan would be finished.
Gonggong stood frozen in place.
Zhurong, however, reacted extremely quickly. As he commanded the Great Dao of Fire, he immediately entered the earth's core, hoping to stabilize the Primordial World's earth fire.
And when the sky fell, there was a price to pay.
The once-peaceful tribe instantly felt the end of the world descend.
The collapse of the Primordial World's sky was a calamity even for certain living beings, let alone humans too weak to truss a chicken.
Xu You was utterly speechless.
He really did poke a hole in the sky.
He had just reminded Houtu to pay attention to the relationship between Gonggong and Zhurong, yet barely had Houtu left when disaster struck the Witch Clan.
Absurd.
The next moment, he manifested his true form.
And shielded the human tribe.
