Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 176 The Vortex of Chaos

In the blink of an eye, a chaotic vortex with a diameter of ten thousand feet appeared in the center of the ferocious beast army that occupied tens of millions of miles of land and sky. Ten breaths later, the chaotic vortex expanded to one hundred thousand feet, and a hundred breaths later, the chaotic vortex had expanded to one million miles.

Three hundred breaths later, the massive army of ferocious beasts had been cut in half at the center, and the entire sky and hell spanning millions of miles was covered by an indescribable vortex of chaos, which seemed to have fused countless laws of the Dao, yet also appeared to be a blank expanse.

Within this vast and boundless vortex of chaos, all the ferocious beasts, creatures, rivers, and lakes have silently collapsed and disintegrated. Faced with the immense power emanating from the Great Dao Chaos, these ferocious beasts, whose cultivation was at most at the Taiyi realm, could not even struggle.

Ten breaths later, the vast vortex of chaos slowly disappeared, and with just this one strike, an countless third of the ferocious beast army perished.

If it weren't for the fact that casting the Chaos Vortex required using the essence of the four primordial Qilins of earth, fire, wind, and water, Yuanhuang could have easily slaughtered any top-tier Primordial True Saint in the primordial world with just this one move.

Above the sky, the primordial Qilin with its five-colored scales transformed back into its innate Dao body form. Yuan Huang, his face deathly pale, looked at the ferocious beast army that had fallen into chaos due to the vortex of chaos, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

Although he had slain a third of the ferocious beast army, Yuan Huang's own four primordial Qilin avatars—Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water—would need a long period of recuperation before they could regain their original form and unleash this astonishing divine power once again.

As Yuanhuang had to use his own origin and mind to fight against the true meaning of the Great Dao Chaos, his primordial spirit and will had been corrupted by the Great Dao Chaos, and his combat power had been reduced by at least 40%.

After a brief period of chaos, the remaining ferocious beast army was once again spurred by the murderous aura and bloodlust of the battlefield, prompting them to attack the remaining forces of the myriad races.

As Yuan Huang watched the overwhelming army of ferocious beasts sweep in once again, a cold smile appeared on his face, and brilliant golden flames burned and burst forth from the ancestral temple between his brows.

A majestic roar resounded, and above the boundless army of ferocious beasts, an equally vast and boundless shadow suddenly descended, revealing a gigantic mechanical Qilin with the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, antlers, and golden eyes.

Countless gears, mortises, and steel were perfectly integrated. Amidst the rumbling of the gears turning, the head pierced through the heavenly atmosphere, and the mechanical Qilin, with its four hooves like pillars of the heavens, let out a roar that shook the entire primordial world.

The terrifying sonic roar unleashed a storm comparable to the apocalypse, and the heavy celestial atmosphere in the sky was swept away in an instant by the roar of the mechanical Qilin.

Two eyes, brighter than the sun and moon, shone with a dazzling light, as they looked down at the countless ferocious beasts beneath them, which resembled ants.

The mechanical Qilin slowly opened its massive mouth, forged from divine gold and precious wood. Amidst the horrified expressions of countless ferocious beasts, crimson sparks transformed into an overwhelming, world-destroying sea of ​​fire that scorched everything!

The sea of ​​fire, stretching for tens of millions of miles, engulfed the entire army of the ferocious beast clan. The scorching, boundless torrent of flames advanced along the direction of the beast clan's advance, surging all the way into the Western Rong Domain.

A torrent of dark red flames swept across the sky, as if another fiery world had covered the sun, moon, stars, and celestial atmosphere. Amidst the scorching flames, the temperature in the vast western region began to rise rapidly.

In the terrifying torrent of exploding flames, the earth, mountains, rivers, and vegetation were instantly reduced to charred lava. The army of ferocious beasts could only withstand the immense power of the mechanical Qilin for thirty breaths before being almost completely wiped out.

In the Western Rong Domain, raging flames transformed the entire domain into a world of fire.

The Western Rong Domain, which is more than 100,000 times larger than the Great Thousand World, has been completely transformed into a fiery hell. Within a few breaths, almost all the ferocious beasts within it were turned into charred remains scattered throughout the world by the intense flames.

The surging river of blood quickly dried up under the scorching heat of the flames. Even though Youquan used the boundless life essence accumulated in the river of blood, he was still unable to resist the power of the mechanical Qilin.

The mechanical Qilin's attack had definitely surpassed the so-called Taiyi realm, and was even considered one of the top-tier killing techniques among the Daluo Daojun.

The appearance of the mechanical Qilin startled Bai Ju, Taiwei, and the four ferocious beast lords. If Yuan Huang had revealed such a being before, even the four ferocious beast lords together would not have been able to withstand it.

However, seeing the terrifying burst of flames that turned the world into charcoal, Taiwei and the others knew that it wasn't that Yuanhuang didn't want to use this mechanical Qilin, but that he simply couldn't precisely control its power.

Faced with flames powerful enough to turn the world into a hellish inferno, the four ferocious beast lords would undoubtedly perish, and even their own yin and turbid essence would not be able to withstand it.

However, once these four sources of Yin and turbidity collapse, the destiny of the Four Divine Beasts will be completely impossible to fulfill. That is why Yuanhuang did not reveal this mechanical Qilin before.

In reality, the reason why Yuan Huang did not use the mechanical Qilin was not just that. This mechanical Qilin was a prototype that Yuan Huang ordered to be secretly crafted.

Because of their lack of mastery of the Dao of Creation and their lack of understanding of various details, this mechanical Qilin is a one-time use magic weapon. Even with the wealth and power of the Qilin royal family, they dare not use such a treasure of heaven and earth lightly.

Moreover, all of the Qilin's supernatural powers require the Qilin royal family's fortune to be consumed. Just that earth-shattering burst of flames had already reduced the Qilin royal family's fortune by one-tenth.

If the army of all races hadn't been unable to withstand the endless army of ferocious beasts, Yuanhuang wouldn't have used this unfinished mechanical Qilin.

However, the immense power displayed by the mechanical Qilin caused the four ferocious beast lords to turn extremely gloomy, while Taiwei and Baiju's expressions also changed constantly.

The army of ferocious beasts has now been wiped out by the mechanical Qilin, and even the Western Rong Domain, the stronghold of the ferocious beast army in the Western Region, has been burned into a purgatory by the flames of the mechanical Qilin.

The Beast Clan can be said to have lost this war. Without an endless army of beasts, the Beast Clan's Great Dao of Ferocity could not be implanted into the primordial world.

Even if the four ferocious beast lords later defeated Taiwei, Baiju, and Yuanhuang, it was only a temporary victory. Once the power of the Heavenly Extinction Passage was exhausted and other top-level experts arrived, the four ferocious beast lords would undoubtedly be easily driven out of the far west.

Therefore, even though the enormous mechanical Qilin had dissipated into countless streams of light, the four ferocious beasts—Taowu, Qiongqi, Taotie, and Hundun—had no desire to attack.
