Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 45 Qi and the others leave the North, the end of Shen Ni's road.

As the collapse of the northern continent ceased, a verdant willow branch extended from around Shenni, followed by several spatial rifts.

Luo Hou, Hong Jun, Yang Mei, Yin Yang, Qian Kun, and the Five Elements all arrived and surrounded Shen Ni.

"Those who act perversely and commit heinous acts deserve their deaths! Gods, come with us into the chaos!"

Hongjun's eyes flashed with a fierce light, revealing his murderous intent.

Shen Ni knew that the great war would break out regardless of whether Chaos went there or not; the only difference was whether it occurred in the primordial world or not.

"Why not?"

The God-Slaying Spear ripped through space and the membrane of heaven and earth, and a large amount of chaotic energy surged into the primordial world. However, the group of people did not see it and walked into it.

As the seven figures disappeared, the spatial rift closed, and the four ferocious beasts within Beast God Mountain also awoke.

"Continue to consolidate our forces and await the start of the final battle. The ferocious beasts below the Golden Immortal level can devour each other, so improving our strength is the priority."

Before Qiongqi could issue its command, Chaos interrupted it, saying:

"That's too conservative. Our ferocious beast clan cannot use spiritual treasures, and most of us are not intelligent enough and are foolish, so we cannot fully unleash our combat power."

"Since we've let them devour freely, let's go even further and let them kill until they can awaken their intelligence. After all, a few Golden Immortals won't be of much use."

"Then what do you suggest?"

Qiongqi looked at Chaos, wondering how far he planned to open up the world.

Chaos didn't delay and immediately issued the order:

"From this day forward, abandon those lands that are no longer of value. All ferocious beasts shall gather at Beast God Mountain. All ferocious beasts below the Great Luo level may devour each other."

Upon hearing this, Taotie hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing and let the order be given.

Qi and the others can hardly see any ferocious beasts anymore. Since the end of the Great Earthquake, they have wandered the northern continent for ten thousand years, but they have not been able to find any trace of the ferocious beasts.

These ferocious beasts seemed to have abandoned the northern continent, allowing the allied forces of the three races to take over the northern lands.

There was no conflict, as if they had given up resistance.

But everyone knew that they were accumulating strength, hoping to achieve complete victory in one battle.

"We should go. The final battle is beyond our reach right now."

Qi's proposal was accepted by everyone. Over the years in the North, they had brought the Taiyi Path to completion.

Next, I must try to open up the Great Luo Heaven, strive to be at the top, and ensure that I am no longer powerless in the great calamity, merely a scrap on the battlefield.

Their time on earth was too short; it was not enough for them to influence the development and changes of this world.

"Let's go home!"

The group rested at Phoenix Perch Mountain for a while, choosing it because it was closer to the northern lands than Yunmeng Marsh.

Moreover, this was Qi's first time here, and he discovered that there were a large number of phoenix trees, many of which had already developed spiritual roots, while the rest were all of the highest quality.

This was the first time that Qi had directly experienced the wealth of Nuwa and Fuxi.

"Upon my return, I have made my decision: I will refine all the spiritual treasures and attain the status of a Celestial God. Unless something major happens, I will not leave seclusion!"

Qi showed everyone his determination and goals for this retreat, and everyone agreed, saying "Great kindness!" Then they urged him to drink another cup quickly, lest he delay and be short of a drink.

After everyone finished their feast, Qi returned to Yunmengze, while Dijun and Taiyi returned to Taiyangxing to prepare for their seclusion!

With the lockdown of Yunmeng Marsh lifted, everyone can return to their lives outside. The Yunmeng Grand Array has shrunk, now only covering the center of Yunmeng Marsh.

Only a narrow path remained at the entrance to Qi's Daoist temple, leading to the mountain gate. Bai Ling planted immortal herbs there, drew in spiritual dew, and cultivated fruits and vegetables, waiting for the day Qi would emerge from seclusion.

In chaos.

Rahu used the Great Millstone of Annihilation to trap Shen Ni within it, constantly crushing his protective divine light. Whenever Shen Ni made a move to resist, Yang Mei would pull him back with a willow branch.

Hongjun activated the Creation Jade Disc, revealing divine light in the chaos to stabilize Shen Ni's primordial spirit. Meanwhile, the Yin-Yang Ancestor used the Taiji Diagram to build a golden bridge to suppress Shen Ni's divine power.

The Five Elements Ancestor unleashed the divine energy of the Pangu Banner, eroding Shen Ni's physical body, and used the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light to suppress the resistance of the God-Slaying Spear.

The Qiankun Cauldron of the Qiankun Daoist was constantly spewing out the divine fire of creation, refining Shen Ni's primordial spirit.

"You do not understand the will of Heaven, and have caused this great calamity. It is fitting that your life ends here."

Hongjun's voice rang out from the chaos, but was refuted by Shenni:

"I am ignorant of destiny? How utterly laughable! Has this world ever offered my ferocious beast race a way to survive? Are we ferocious beasts only fit to be livestock, at the mercy of the primordial gods?"

"I'm too lazy to reason with you; you're not worthy to listen!"

Luo Hou's words left everyone speechless, but they also felt that there was some truth to them.

"Hongjun, you still have the leisure to lecture such a ferocious creature that has caused so much slaughter? Have you become stupid from cultivating immortality?"

"You should focus on healing your injury first. Wait until your broken bones are set before trying to reason with me!"

The group was in a sorry state; their once spotless robes were now stained with blood, and many had disheveled hair.

They were almost all killed by Shen Ni alone. If it weren't for Yang Mei's sneak attack that dealt Shen Ni a heavy blow, some of them might not have escaped this calamity.

Luo Hou's words to Hong Jun eased the previously somber atmosphere slightly.

It's just that Hongjun's dough has fallen off quite a bit.

Seeing that Shenni had no chance of escape, everyone increased their divine power output, striving to achieve victory in one fell swoop.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Rahu was contacting Shenni, saying:

"Your death is inevitable, and no one will let you go. However, I may grant you a chance for revenge."

"Tell me, I want to see what you innate deities are up to!"

Shen Ni replied in his heart. He knew that he didn't need to say it aloud. The other person could connect with his mind and hear his voice.

It's unclear which of the people present he was, since all of them could contact him.

After all, this was the third person to make demands of him. One person asked him to kill Luo Hou, and another asked him to kill Luo Hou Hongjun as well.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do any of them, and the other party's conditions were too harsh, but he still agreed to them all.

"I know someone will contact you to kill me, and I know who it is, but I know you don't have the ability to do so."

"I don't need you to kill Hongjun. I know you can't. See the magical artifact that's immobilizing your spirit? Destroy it with the God-Slaying Spear!"

Luo Hou's voice entered Shen Ni's mind, and Shen Ni asked again:

"What can I get in return?"

"Agree, and the four ferocious beasts can live; disagree, and they will follow you."

After a moment of silence, Shen Ni replied:

"it is good."

"I know you promised others, but you can't keep your promise. The Four Fiends will still die."

Upon hearing Luo Hou's words, Shen Ni felt an immense anger deep within his heart, yet he lacked the strength to even refute them.

When Shen Ni had only one last strike left, Hong Jun, Luo Hou, and Yang Mei seemed unable to hold on any longer and withdrew their divine power.

"not good!"

Everyone was shocked and exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Ni retrieved the Divine Spear and hurled it fiercely!
