Primordial Era: Reborn as a Tortoise, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 18 The Decline of the Three Clans, A Method to Avert Calamity

"Fellow Daoists, Rahu has emerged!"

Sensing the terrifying demonic power emanating from the Western world, which made his heart tremble, Hongjun spoke in a deep voice.

He didn't actually need to say it.

Yang Gui and the others had already sensed Rahu's presence.

"Hongjun, is the surprise I prepared for you to your liking?!"

Luo Hou's chilling voice echoed throughout the Western world.

Before the words had even faded, a figure dressed in a black Taoist robe and standing on a twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus appeared in the sky.

In an instant, the demonic power surged, and endless killing intent condensed in the void.

Hongjun's expression was grave. "Luo Hou, I never imagined your demonic path had reached such a state!"

Luo Hou's aura was ethereal, clearly indicating that he had reached the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, just like him.

"As expected of the ancestor of the demonic path, absorbing the endless killing energy of the primordial continent, he was just one step away from breaking through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Luo Hou's face was filled with murderous intent. "Hongjun, you're not bad either!"

Both of them were late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortals and had long since comprehended their own paths of cultivation.

I await the divine revelation to break through to that point.

"However, four of you aren't enough to kill me!"

After saying that, the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus shone brightly with black light, and its endless violent aura broke through the sky, rushing towards Hongjun and the other three.

Faced with such a massive and violent aura, Yang Gui dared not be negligent.

The "Primordial Boundless World-Suppressing Scripture" circulated to its limit within the body, and the power of the laws within the body flowed through the body, with the Five Elements Great Seal flying above the head.

The Five Elements Dao Laws permeate his body, bewitching others, while the Chaos Pearl within his body emits boundless divine light.

The other three innate deities each offered up their own supreme treasures.

A broken jade disc emanated from the top of Hongjun's head, emitting a faint glow.

The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth held the Heaven and Earth Cauldron in his hand, his expression unchanged.

The Yin-Yang Taoist stood on a Tai Chi diagram, his face serene.

These individuals were all innate deities, and they showed no fear in the face of this endless, violent aura.

Hongjun said calmly, "Who said there are only the four of us?"

His words left all the innate deities present looking bewildered.

Yang Gui looked at Hongjun with some surprise. This old guy had even invited other innate deities.

As if to verify Rahu's words, the void shattered.

Three enormous figures appeared from the void.

hold head high! !

Roar! !

Chant!

It was none other than the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Ancestral Qilin!

"Rahu, you have wreaked havoc among the dragons and secretly stirred up trouble. Today we will settle accounts with you for what you have done!"

"Rahu, your death is nigh!"

"My Qilin clan was actually dragged to the West by you and turned into demons! You deserve to die!"

An angry roar echoed across the western lands.

The three clan leaders were furious.

Looking at the three enormous figures in the void, Yang Gui was immediately filled with admiration for Hongjun.

That old guy is really good at fooling people.

Hongjun went to great lengths to kill Luo Hou, even at the cost of the three clans' war.

"So it was the three of you. No wonder Hongjun was so fearless!"

Rahu chuckled softly.

Since the beginning of the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Ancestral Qilin have established the destiny of the three races.

He had already entered the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and was just one step away from entering the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

With these three present, it's a fight against seven, and four of them are at the same level as him.

Judging from the situation, Rahu is destined to lose.

"Fellow Daoist, surrender! We are only here for this primordial land and the countless lives of all beings."

Hongjun spoke with compassion for all humanity.

"Hahaha!!"

Luo Hou suddenly burst into laughter, "Hongjun, do you even believe what you're saying?!"

"Heaven and earth are incomplete, and the great eons are not yet complete."

"You want to use everyone present to complete the universe, taking the entire calamity as the number of one element. Your scheme is so elaborate that it can be heard even in the chaos."

"And the three of you, all harboring the same scheme, yet acting all bitter and resentful—it's utterly disgusting!"

Rahu's words caused all the saints present to change their expressions slightly.

This undoubtedly revealed their true intentions and exposed the hypocrisy of the four of them.

Especially the Ancestor of Qiankun and the Daoist of Yin Yang, who looked at Hongjun with disbelief.

Although Yang Gui had already guessed what Luo Hou had said, he was still deeply moved after hearing it.

"Six hundred Yuanhui actually requires the consumption of six innate saints. This primordial world is completely replenished by the lives of others."

From the very beginning, they were all part of Hongjun's, and even Luo Hou's, schemes.

Hongjun's calm expression turned somewhat gloomy. "Further words are useless. Fellow Daoist, let's have a battle and see who holds the Heavenly Dao!"

"Fellow Daoists, if we don't act now, when will we?"

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, he prepared to make his move.

But at this moment, the three innate deities, Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Zuqilin, suddenly changed their expressions drastically.

"Why has the fortune of my dragon race declined so rapidly?"

"My Phoenix Clan is the same!"

"My people are the same!"

With their fortunes waning, the three of them, who were at the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, actually showed signs of declining in their cultivation levels.

"You're only realizing this now?" Rahu said coldly. "You should take a look at your own people!"

Upon hearing Luo Hou's words, Zu Long's expression changed.

"You've planted monsters among my dragons!"

Through the Dragon Clan's Ancestral Dragon, it was seen that countless Scaled Armor Clan members began to turn into demons, fighting and attacking each other.

This scene made Zu Long's eyes widen in fury.

The same applies to the other two tribes.

boom!

At that moment, the earth and sky shook.

The fortunes of the three races began to decline rapidly.

The aura emanating from the Ancestral Dragon also weakened, and the dragon scales on its body shattered.

The power of sin, the power of karma, the power of evil, and so on all came together, becoming boundless karma, which descended upon him and all the dragons.

The same applies to the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan.

Across the desolate land, cries of agony filled the air, and blood rained down like rain.

Blood rained down from the sky, and the dead danced in the air.

Countless innate deities born from this heaven, and later great beings who witnessed this scene, could not help but shed tears.

This is the lament of Heaven, affecting all living beings.

The First Emperor was filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do.

If this continues, not only will the dragon race completely disappear from the earth, but the ancestral dragon himself will also be hated by the Heavenly Dao and perish completely!

Just then, he remembered what Dragon Master Turtle had said, and a sense of sorrow welled up in his heart.

"Is this how my dragon race is destined to decline? It's truly unbearable!!"

With a furious roar, the Ancestral Dragon flew into the void.

The sound of the Dao is vast and boundless.

"By the Heavenly Dao, I, the Ancestral Dragon, patriarch of the Dragon Clan, have no intention of causing countless deaths and the dissipation of countless beings. Today, I wish to return to Heaven and Earth to mend the world. May the Dragon Clan guard the four seas and ensure favorable weather for the primordial world. I beseech the Heavenly Dao to bear witness!"

After finishing speaking, Zu Long glared at Luo Hou with resentment before his body rapidly dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished into the world.

Only the Ancestral Dragon Pearl remained in place before disappearing into the void and returning to the Dragon Clan.

Across the vast, ancient land, all the dragons felt a pang of sorrow and wailed.

The actions of the First Dragon undoubtedly preserved the fate of the Dragon Clan.

The dragon race's fortune, which had been rapidly declining, immediately stopped declining.

Elder Azure Dragon of the Dragon Clan led the Dragon Clan and the Scaled Armor Clan in a counterattack against the demons.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Feng and Zu Qilin were inspired and began to imitate Zu Long.

"By the Heavenly Dao, I, Yuan Feng, the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, unintentionally caused countless deaths and the dissipation of countless beings. Today, I wish to return to Heaven and Earth to mend its ways, and the Phoenix Clan will guard the Undying Volcano!"

"By the Heavenly Dao above, I am the First Qilin, the patriarch of the Qilin clan. I unintentionally caused countless deaths and the dissipation of countless beings. Today, I wish to return to Heaven and Earth to mend the world. From this day forward, the Qilin clan will be auspicious omens for the primordial land, thus atoneing for my sins!"

The three clan leaders disappeared into the primordial land.

Merit descends from heaven, offsetting some of the karmic burden.

The blood rain disappeared, and the spirits of the dead dispersed.

Only the three races remained, united in their efforts, to annihilate the demons, a feat that lasted for four thousand Yuanhui.

Afterwards, they returned to their respective destinations.

However, no one noticed that as the dragon clan's fortune rapidly dissipated, the Xuan Turtle clan's fortune quickly devoured the dragon clan's fortune.

A tremendous force of fortune vanished, flowing into Yang Gui, only to be concealed by the Chaos Pearl.

Sensing the immense power of destiny within him, Yang Gui's eyes gleamed with golden light, and he vaguely had a way to break free from the calamity that awaited him in the future as he mended the heavens.

However, now is not the right time; we should wait until this matter is resolved before making a confirmation.

Just then, Hongjun spoke, "Fellow Daoist, what a cruel heart you have!"

"They actually used countless living beings to force the three clan leaders to transform themselves into heaven and earth!"
