Nuwa looked at the two treasures beside her, then turned to look at Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin in the distance.

At last, a silent smile appeared on her face.

But there was something rather peculiar about it.

"In that case, let the matter end here."

Though Nuwa was unwilling to let it go, the Two from the West had nothing better to offer.

With a wave of her hand, Nuwa put away the two treasures and the dozen or so bodhi seeds.

Seeing this, the many mighty figures watching the affair could not help but let out a long breath.

It seemed the matter had finally drawn to a close.

The karmic debt Zhunti of the West owed had also been settled with two supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and a dozen or so bodhi seeds.

But the many mighty figures, still wanting more, turned their attention to the Human Emperor.

The current Human Emperor was truly rather strange.

How had he discovered something even Nuwa had not known?

Not only had he seen through Saint Zhunti's scheme.

He had also warned Nuwa at the crucial moment.

The Human Emperor even knew all about Saint Zhunti stealing Nuwa's merit in ancient times.

How had the current Human Emperor learned something that so many mighty figures in the Primordial World did not know?

It was utterly bizarre.

At that moment, a cold smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face.

Nuwa had vented her anger.

But he had yet to vent his.

Nuwa's karmic debt had been settled.

But the karmic debt those two bastards from the West owed him had not.

Ye Xuan had always been the sort to repay the slightest grievance.

As the saying went, a gentleman did not leave a grudge unavenged.

Though he could not defeat the Two Sages of the West.

He could at least make fools of them.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, and his right hand, held behind his back, suddenly formed a strange hand seal.

He also began muttering an incantation:

"Vast and boundless, ancient primordial chaos; layer upon layer, the countless Great Daos. Creation holds wonders without measure, heaven and earth, yin and yang in balance; sinful souls of the Nine Netherworlds, follow my Purple Gold Bell--"

At the same time, his left hand, also behind his back, brought out the Purple Gold Bell!

The clear ringing of the bell subtly rippled through heaven and earth.

Since Ye Xuan was in a remote spot, it attracted no one's attention.

Although he had come out, the Ancestral Dragon's corpse was still in that mysterious space within Great Mount Sumeru.

He would raise the corpse again.

He would make the Ancestral Dragon's corpse return to the world and overawe the Primordial World.

As Ye Xuan made his move.

A tremendous boom suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

The vast, boundless Great Mount Sumeru shook violently at that moment.

Sensing the upheaval.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's expressions changed drastically.

This was Great Mount Sumeru, after all.

They naturally knew what was suppressed beneath it.

Could something have gone wrong?

Before the two of them could do anything.

An immensely powerful presence suddenly erupted from the depths of Great Mount Sumeru.

It passed through the mountain and shot straight into the sky, bursting forth in the void and even forming a colossal pillar of light.

The next instant, the vast, boundless Great Mount Sumeru began to shake violently under everyone's gaze.

"Rumble--"

In an instant, heaven and earth collapsed, and all things wailed.

The entire Great Mount Sumeru began to shake violently, as though struck by a magnitude-hundred earthquake.

At the sight of heaven falling and earth sinking, countless beings in the West began to wail.

Even Nuwa was shocked by this sight of heaven and earth splitting apart.

She had not attacked again.

Then what power was ravaging Great Mount Sumeru?

As that power erupted into the sky, Great Mount Sumeru shook even more violently.

Countless rocks tumbled down, and in the blink of an eye, the Western Ancestral Vein was left in ruins.

It seemed some invisible force was trying to break free of Great Mount Sumeru's suppression.

"Boom--"

With an earth-shattering crash.

The vast, boundless Great Mount Sumeru was torn apart from within, splitting into pieces.

Amid a roar like mountains howling and seas raging, Great Mount Sumeru fell apart and collapsed completely.

Saint Nuwa was dumbfounded.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin were dumbfounded as well.

The many mighty figures who had been watching were also dumbfounded.

Great Mount Sumeru was the ancestral vein of the West. How had it been shattered to pieces in an instant?

The next moment, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly resounded through the world.

"Roar!"

The roar was like a divine sound that stood above all beasts.

A colossal creature suddenly burst out of the collapsed ruins.

Its enormous form loomed in and out of view amid the dust that filled the sky.

The many powerful figures peered deep into the billowing dust.

They saw a creature that blotted out the sky and sun suddenly shoot up from deep beneath Great Mount Sumeru.

At the sight of the creature.

All the beings nearby drew a sharp breath.

It was an enormous black dragon's head.

The head then soared into the sky.

In an instant, its vast body emerged in full, stretching across half the heavens.

It was an ancient, colossal dragon that blotted out the sky and sun.

Dark, black scales and horns that were both ferocious and bizarre.

A thick, billowing black mane.

And a massive body that blotted out the sky and sun.

Everything about the creature proclaimed how terrifying it was.

Before it, the dragon clans of the four seas looked like mere loaches.

At the sight of the creature, even Nuwa's eyes filled with shock.

The creature that had suddenly appeared was none other than the Ancestral Dragon, leader of the ancient dragon clan.

He had fallen long ago during the Dragon-Han Calamity.

She had not expected the Ancestral Dragon's corpse to have been suppressed beneath Great Mount Sumeru.

Perhaps it had been roused by something, or perhaps a mysterious expert had discovered it.

The Ancestral Dragon's corpse had somehow burst out of the mountain.

Perhaps it was that last lingering trace of the Ancestral Dragon's unwillingness?

At the thought, a cold smile appeared on Nuwa's lips.

The Two Sages of the West truly had impressive methods.

Even the Ancestral Dragon's corpse had somehow been suppressed in the West.

It seemed the benefits the Two Sages of the West had gained in the East over the years were beyond imagination.

In the distance, Ye Xuan wore a cold smile.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

The Ancestral Dragon's corpse had reappeared in the world.

Not only had it destroyed the Western Teachings' cultivation grounds, it had also let him vent his anger.

It had also drawn the attention of the Primordial World's many powerful figures to the Ancestral Dragon's corpse and the Western Teachings.

His Yin Shang could take this opportunity to lie low for a while and develop properly in secret.

If they were not sufficiently prepared, they would inevitably repeat the same mistakes once the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods arrived.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, meanwhile, wore grave expressions.

The Ancestral Dragon's corpse had always been securely suppressed beneath Great Mount Sumeru.

Nothing had ever gone wrong in all those countless years.

Nothing had happened even during the Witch-Demon Tribulation, yet now it had suddenly emerged.

Both sensed a hint of a plot.

Perhaps a mysterious expert was targeting the Western Teachings.

But nothing could be allowed to happen to the Ancestral Dragon's corpse.

Saint Zhunti took a deep breath and was about to rise to his full height.

But a dreadful heavenly might suddenly stopped him.

He looked up and saw Nuwa's Red Embroidered Ball blocking his path, radiating a brilliant heavenly might.

Zhunti's face darkened at once.

"Nuwa, what do you mean by this?"

Nuwa remained indifferent, her gaze as cold as autumn water:

"The Ancestral Dragon was the head of the dragon clan, one of the three ancient clans, and a being of our East."

"He is of great consequence to our East. How could you two be allowed to continue suppressing him?"

Saint Zhunti's face flushed with anger, and he was about to say more.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly hummed and released a vast, majestic power.

It was Yuanshi Tianzun who had also made his move. The Three Treasures Jade Ruyu moved directly in front of Saint Jieyin, who was poised to act, blocking his path.

At the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun's words rang out.
