Primordial Era: A brick knocks Hongyun unconscious, and he seizes the throne at the start.

The ancient barrier is in sight.

Lu Chen determined the direction and flew swiftly towards the prehistoric wilderness.

Chaos Brick's newly acquired "Axe Blade Edge" ability allows him to cut through chaotic air currents, making his escape speed more than ten times faster than before.

In just three days, the ancient barrier came into view.

Just as they were about to enter, they suddenly sensed battle fluctuations ahead.

Approaching stealthily, they saw two figures locked in fierce combat amidst a chaotic wasteland.

One was a Kunpeng, its wings stained with blood, clearly injured.

On the other side... it was actually the Blood God's clone of the Styx River! Moreover, this clone wielded the Yuan Tu Sword and stood on a third-grade red lotus (a child of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus), and its combat power was no weaker than that of the Kunpeng itself!

"Kunpeng, hand over the second fragment of the God-Slaying Spear, or today will be your death day!" Styx's clone roared.

"Styx, you are but an avatar, yet you dare to threaten me?" Kunpeng was furious and unleashed the Demon Master's Palace, smashing it towards the Red Lotus.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

The second fragment of the God-Slaying Spear is actually in Kunpeng's hands? Moreover, Styx's clone seems to have been nurtured using the seeds of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and is of the same origin as his battle avatar, Yan Chen!

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits..."

He concealed his presence and crept closer stealthily.

At the heart of the battlefield, Kunpeng and Styx's clone were locked in a fierce battle.

Although Kunpeng was strong, he had been injured by Lu Chen and besieged by Jieyin and Zhunti, and his injuries had not yet healed. The Styx clone, relying on the unparalleled defense of the Red Lotus and the incomparably sharp Yuan Tu Sword, gradually gained the upper hand.

"Now!"

Lu Chen seized the opportunity and released the Chaos Brick.

It wasn't hitting people, but rather the space between the two of them!

"Gravity Brick - Ultimate Distortion!"

The brick's gravitational field exploded to its limit, and that space instantly collapsed into a miniature black hole, simultaneously sucking in Kunpeng and the Styx clone!

"Who?!" the two exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Chen appeared, grinning, "You two, we meet again."

"Lu Chen?!" Kunpeng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "You...you've actually reached the peak of the Great Luo Realm?!"

The Styx avatar's expression also changed drastically: "Your aura... why is it from the same source as my Crimson Lotus?"

"That's a long story." Lu Chen raised his hand, and his battle avatar Yan Chen stepped out from behind him, also standing on a third-grade red lotus (the karmic fire red lotus seed body), bearing the bloodlines of three races.

"This is... transformed from my lotus seed?!" The Styx clone sensed the shared aura and was both shocked and furious.

"Now it's mine." Lu Chen smiled brightly. "You two, hand over the fragments of the God-Slaying Spear, and I might consider leaving you with your bodies intact."

"Arrogant!" Kunpeng roared in fury, burning his life essence to break free from the gravitational pull, and the Demon Master's Palace crashed down upon him.

The Styx clone also fought desperately, and the Yuan Tu Sword transformed into a blood-red river as it slashed down.

"Well done!"

Lu Chen neither dodged nor evaded, holding the Chaos Brick of Creation in his hand, and smashed it out.

"Power that spans the primordial chaos—blessed by thunder!"

Thunder crackled around the bricks, and the sharp edge of the axe tore everything apart.

"boom!!!"

The Demon Master's Palace was smashed away, the Yuan Tu Sword was shattered, and Kunpeng and the Styx clone were both sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

The power of a single brick is terrifying!

"Run!" The two were terrified and turned to flee.

"Can they escape?"

With a thought, Lu Chen's battle avatar, Yan Chen, transformed into flames to block the Styx clone, while his main body used brick-escape to catch up with Kunpeng.

"Hand over the fragments of the God-Slaying Spear."

"I'll hand it over! I'll hand it over!" Kunpeng was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He hurriedly took out a black fragment from his pocket and threw it over.

Lu Chen caught it, and it was indeed the second fragment of the God-Slaying Spear, resonating strongly with his first fragment.

"Get lost." He kicked Kunpeng away. "Next time we meet, I'll kill you."

Kunpeng, as if granted a pardon, burned its origin and fled to the primordial wilderness.

On the other side, Yan Chen had also defeated the Styx clone and seized the broken Yuan Tu Sword (although broken, the material was still intact and could be reforged).

"What should we do with this clone, the main body?" Yan Chen asked.

Lu Chen looked at the Styx clone, whose face was full of resentment: "Lu Chen, my true form will make you wish you were dead..."

"Shut up." Lu Chen smashed the clone with a brick, extracting its remaining essence and the essence of the Red Lotus, and merging it into Yan Chen's body.

Yan Chen's aura surged again, and the Red Lotus advanced from the third rank to the fourth rank!

"A good harvest." Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He looked at the two fragments of the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, and then at the star map.

"There's only one piece left, deep within the Blood Sea... Once we've dealt with the lich matter, we'll make a trip to the Blood Sea."

After collecting the fragments, Lu Chen took Yan Chen and flew towards the prehistoric world.

Just as I passed through the barrier, I bumped into a familiar figure—

The benevolent corpse, Huang Chen!

"My lord, you're finally back!" Huang Chen exclaimed anxiously. "Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong?"

"The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan... have gone to war! Right at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, the first Great War between the Witch and the Demon has been raging for three days! The Twelve Ancestral Witches have set up the Heavenly Divine Fiend Array to summon the true form of Pangu; the Demon Clan's Zhou Tian Star Array has also been completed, with Emperor Jun and Taiyi personally leading the battle. The two sides are fighting so fiercely that the heavens and earth are shattering and the primordial world is shaking!"

Lu Chen's heart sank.

So fast?!

"And it's even worse," Huang Chen said in a low voice. "Jieyin and Zhunti took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the battlefield and steal... a drop of Houtu Ancestral Witch's life essence blood! They seem to be going to use this drop of blood to refine some kind of evil artifact to counteract the Witch Clan!"

Houtu's essence and blood? The key to future reincarnation!

If Jieyin and Zhunti succeed in obtaining it, the fortune of the Wu clan will be severely damaged!

"Which direction did they go?" Lu Chen asked urgently.

"West! Judging by the direction, it's heading towards...Mount Sumeru!" Huang Chen said, "It seems they're going to meet someone."

Mount Sumeru? The entrance to Rahu's Abyss!

Lu Chen understood instantly.

Jieyin and Zhunti want to use Houtu's essence blood to make a deal with Rahu! In exchange for the support of the demonic path, or... in exchange for the Primordial Purple Qi that they thought still existed!

"We must not let them succeed!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.

"Yan Chen, go to the battlefield and secretly assist the Witch Clan, but do not reveal your identity."

"Huang Chen, you continue your activities outside and gather intelligence."

"I, the true self... will go to Mount Sumeru and intercept them!"

The three figures split up and acted separately.

Lu Chen activated his full brick-escape technique and sped towards Mount Sumeru.

He calculated in his mind: Jieyin and Zhunti were still seriously injured (from breaking the Zhuxian Formation), and were at their weakest point. If he could intercept them halfway, he could not only retrieve Houtu's essence blood, but also completely eliminate these two scourges!

"This time, we'll settle both the old and new scores!"

The Chaos Brick hummed in his hand, as if it could sense its master's killing intent.

And at this moment, at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

Jieyin and Zhunti fled in a sorry state. In the jade bottle in their arms, a drop of earth-yellow essence blood exuded an aura as heavy as the earth.

"Senior brother, we're almost there! As long as we successfully make the deal with the Demon Ancestor and obtain that half of the purple aura, there will be no more obstacles on our path to sainthood!" Zhunti said excitedly.

Jieyin frowned deeply: "I have a feeling... that I'm not entirely at ease."

"What's there to be uneasy about? Rahu needs Houtu's essence and blood to perfect the Black Lotus of Annihilation, and we need the Purple Qi. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A brick shadow fell from the sky!

"Jieyin, Zhunti—leave your essence and blood behind!"

Lu Chen, here we come!
