Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

In the primordial world.

Hongjun sat cross-legged atop a seven-colored cloud, his brows furrowed, his face filled with urgency.

"No! As a Chaos Demon God who survived the Great Calamity of Creation, how can I be suppressed by a mere Primordial Demon God?"

"I possess many supreme treasures. I must slay ferocious beasts to enhance my cultivation. I must quickly achieve the Great Perfection of the Three Corpses Immortal Path!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongjun waved his hand and once again grasped the Pangu Banner, continuing his rampage towards the eastern land.

At the same time, Rahu returned to the western lands.

Compared to the southeast, the western lands have the second largest number of ferocious beasts after the northern lands.

Many ferocious beasts are still wiping out the remnants of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, which is a great tonic for him!

The Nine Demon Tower's demonic patterns vibrated in his palm, revealing a black and white tiger hidden within!

The tiger's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the white was gradually swallowed by black.

This sight made Rahu even more confident:

"This move is indeed feasible! It seems that my demonic path should not only advance by slaying ferocious beasts, but also grow stronger by helping living beings succumb to demonic possession!"

"The White Tiger has fallen into demonic possession; you are destined to become my demonic beast!"

"Ancestor Zhenyuan? Hmph! Once I remove the seal from the Innate Grand Array, I will surely surpass your Earth-Suppressing Grand Array!"

Almost simultaneously, the expression on the face of Yang Mei, the Space Demon God, became more solemn than ever before:

"As expected! Zhen Yuanzi was able to comprehend so many powerful laws, including those related to space, so easily because he followed the principles of the Earthly Dao!"

"So, the laws of space also reside within the Dao of Earth and the Dao of Heaven!"

"Therefore, if I do not leave the Primordial World, even if I cultivate the Great Dao of Space in the future, I will not be able to escape the order and rules of the Primordial World. As long as I am in this world, I will be suppressed!"

"Leave! We must leave!"

Because the opportunity to attain enlightenment and realize the Dao was definitely not in the primordial world, Yang Mei's resolve to pursue the Dao was stronger than ever before.

He looked up at the sky, took a sudden step, and then disappeared.

This time, instead of continuing to kill ferocious beasts as before, he disregarded his injuries and stepped out of the primordial world, returning to the chaos beyond the heavens!

Yang Mei's departure went unnoticed by any living being.

That's just how he is normally; he disappears into his own space at the drop of a hat...

When Yin Yang and Qian Kun returned to their respective dojos, they fought against ferocious beasts along the way, just as they had come, and thus their names spread throughout the primordial world.

Because he and Zhen Yuanzi were both at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, they both referred to themselves as "Ancestor".

Shen Ni was on his way back to the Beast God Palace.

Taotie, enraged, reported from behind:

"Beast God, it's one thing for Zhen Yuanzi to be called an Ancestor, but these so-called Hongjun, Luohou, Yin Yang Qiankun, and others have also come out to kill our clan and call themselves Ancestors. This is truly going too far in bullying our ferocious beast clan!"

"That's right!"

Taotie was equally enraged and roared:

"Zhen Yuanzi is trying to kill us, and these people are joining in the fun? Then kill them!"

Chaos, standing to the side, shook his head noncommittally.

"We must kill them, but only when our strength has increased once again."

"The most important thing now is that we have all reached the late stage. This way, we can not only annihilate them, but also help the Beast God break Zhen Yuanzi's formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chaos had already set his gaze on the back of the person at the very front.

Shen Ni was frustrated at Wanshou Mountain and was filled with anger with nowhere to vent it. Upon receiving this news, he was even more furious!

"A few worthless cowards who barely survive by running away dare to come to the northern lands and attack me, the god!"

"By my decree, all ferocious beasts, except those within the territory of Longevity Mountain, shall continue their slaughter in all other places, leaving none alive!"

"If you encounter any of them, immediately inform me, and I, the god, will surely annihilate them with a single blow!"

"Yes!" the three beasts obeyed.

Wanshou Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi sat cross-legged under the ginseng fruit tree, closing his eyes to recuperate.

The white tiger beside him lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to move an inch, its eyes filled with awe.

At this moment, there was not a single ferocious beast within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around Longevity Mountain!

The land was peaceful and full of life, and countless weak creatures came here to seek protection because of the illustrious name of the Ancestor Zhenyuan.

Zhen Yuanzi did not refuse this, for the Great Dao of Earth contains all things, and all living beings reside within it.

Thanks to Zhen Yuanzi's protection, no ferocious beast dares to set foot in any place where Wanshou Mountain can be seen!

His fame resounds throughout the world!

Zhen Yuanzi's actions this time need no further explanation.

The Great Dao, moved by Zhen Yuanzi's merit in slaying billions of ferocious beasts, bestows upon him another act of merit!

The golden light of the Great Dao's merits pierced through the nine heavens, attracting the attention of all spirits.

However, in the eyes of all beings, this merit was divided in two before it even reached Longevity Mountain!

Ninety percent of them were absorbed into Zhen Yuanzi's Dao body!

Because the Wutu Zhenyuan Grand Array belongs to Zhenyuanzi, no further merit, magic treasures, or spiritual roots can be obtained.

But this makes the distribution of that merit somewhat unpredictable!

That final achievement, perceived by all living beings, suddenly split in two once more!

Zhen Yuanzi looked up and saw a wisp of merit enter Wanshou Mountain, then disappear into the body of the little white tiger lying beside him!

The little white tiger, Zhan Xiao, who had received a wisp of the Great Dao's merit, had clear eyes at this moment, in disbelief:

"I...I've attained the merits of the Great Dao?"

"How is this possible?"

"Ah! My laws and cultivation... Aww!"

Amidst the roar of the beast, its body slowly grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The greatest truths are the most impartial!

The White Tiger clan led the alliance of all races to resist the great calamity of the ferocious beasts. Although it ended in annihilation, it still deserves credit for leading the way!

Such meritorious deeds naturally deserve to be rewarded.

However, this should have been the Heavenly Dao's duty, but because the White Tiger was rescued by Zhen Yuanzi and entered Wanshou Mountain, the Heavenly Dao felt powerless.

The last time it was rejected by Zhen Yuanzi was the last time.

Therefore, this time, Heaven learned from its mistake and reported the matter before descending, handing it over to the Great Dao for handling.

The great master is disappointed that iron is not up to standard.

Since we're going to lose merit anyway, a little bit won't make a difference.

Thus, the White Tiger turned misfortune into blessing, gaining the Great Dao's merits and virtues into his body. His metal law increased, and his cultivation level instantly broke through from Taiyi Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal!

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed.

"It was just a casual act, yet it yielded such a reward!"

"Since the Great Dao has acknowledged the White Tiger's entry into my path, the laws of the earth that I bear will henceforth be even more stable!"

"However, it seems that the other strand also belongs to the White Tiger clan!"

"The west!"

As Zhan Xiao gained a wisp of merit, the little demon tiger before Rahu on Mount Sumeru in the west also received a wisp of the Great Dao's merit!

The Demon Tiger's cultivation had also increased to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, its body as tall as a mountain, releasing a monstrous killing demonic aura!

Echoing the divine tiger of Longevity Mountain, the white tiger clan exudes an air of mystery!

"I see!"

Observing up close the Great Dao's merit entering the tiger's body, and seeing Rahu, who was also absorbing this energy, suddenly flashed a flash of inspiration, as if he had gained some understanding:

"Merit is not just for the sake of merit, it's also for—good fortune!"

"Therefore, by allowing the White Tiger to become a demon, I have already granted my demonic path a wisp of the Great Dao's fortune. If I were to gain immeasurable fortune, I could then attain enlightenment!"

Having suddenly realized this, Luo Hou hurriedly went into seclusion to comprehend another way of destroying the primordial world with destiny.

Before going into seclusion, he entrusted the task of unsealing the innate grand formation through slaughter to the Demon Tiger War Roar...

Wanshou Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi gained ninety percent of the Great Dao's merits into his body, and his comprehension of the laws advanced by leaps and bounds!

Especially the laws of space; he had only grasped a wisp of the laws of space before, but directly reached the pinnacle!

Furthermore, through seeing the laws of the White Tiger Metal, he gained deeper understanding and incorporated them into the Great Dao of Earth.

As a result, Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation level naturally increased!

In an instant, an even more profound aura emanated from his body!
