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

The spiritual veins of the primordial land are all connected, divided into southeast, northwest, and center, with the central vein being the main one.

Previously, if Zhen Yuanzi wanted to cross the distance of the earth and accurately kill a living being, he really had no way.

But now, in Tiger Abyss, he not only deliberately released his resentment, revealing his location and aura, but also happened to run into Zhen Yuanzi, who had already refined the authentic treasure, Myriad Manifestations of Sand, to the twentieth layer of restriction.

Here it is, a target to test the power of this authentic treasure!

A sharp glint flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, the Myriad Phenomena Sands suddenly traversed the earth's veins and shot off toward the western land!

Northwest of Mount Sumeru, in a high mountain, the Demon Tiger Zhan Yuan is desperately trying to escape.

Because his breakthrough was so spectacular, a full five hundred ferocious beasts with their mouths agape rushed toward him in a dark mass.

"Damn it!"

The oppressive aura and roars of the ferocious beasts terrified him, and after turning his head to take a look, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

He dared not look any longer and ran with all his might toward Mount Sumeru!

His teacher, Rahu, was there; if he went back, he would surely survive.

But his idea was too idealistic.

The ferocious beasts were numerous and densely packed, and their roars naturally attracted other ferocious beasts from the vicinity. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of ferocious beasts surrounded him.

Its sharp claws and gaping maw ripped down at him, instantly leaving the enormous demonic tiger's body covered in blood and severely injured.

Sensing his impending doom, he had no choice but to open his mouth wide and plead for help from his teacher, who was in seclusion:

"Teacher, help me!"

Its desperate cries for help reached all the way to Mount Sumeru.

Luo Hou, who was in seclusion to comprehend the Dao, suddenly opened his eyes, and then demonic flames surged into the sky. His Dao body transformed into a streak of black light and shot out at lightning speed!

Because Zhan Yuan hadn't dared to go far, Luo Hou arrived above the high mountain in the blink of an eye!

Seeing his disciples being beaten so miserably, Duns was furious:

"How dare a bunch of bastards harm my disciple!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Nine Demon Tower in Luo Hou's palm had already fallen!

The enormous, pitch-black demonic tower crashed down, unleashing its world-destroying power, instantly annihilating all the tens of thousands of ferocious beasts present.

"This disciple thanks the teacher..."

"not good!"

Just as Rahu was calmly accepting his disciple's grateful bow, his expression suddenly darkened.

It is evident that at some point, the mountains beneath Zhan Yuan's feet have been transformed into a desert!

In just a moment, a hundred meters had already covered the vast expanse of yellow sand!

The vast expanse of yellow sand emitted no light, appearing no different from the ordinary earth, yet it exuded a terrifying power to erode and dissolve everything!

The quicksand engulfed Zhan Yuan's massive body at an alarming speed. No matter how much he struggled, he could not escape, and it even accelerated his sinking!

Upon seeing this, Luo Hou hurriedly summoned another magical treasure, the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!

This treasure is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It can not only defend and suppress destiny, but also has the power to destroy the world!

The black lotus spiraled down, colliding with the yellow sand with a world-destroying ferocity.

However, the Black Lotus attack, empowered by the late-stage magic power of the Rahu Primordial Chaos Realm, was like hitting cotton, not even causing a ripple!

That didn't stop the quicksand from devouring the Battle Abyss either!

"How is this possible?"

Rahu stared in astonishment at the vast expanse of shifting sands stretching for tens of thousands of miles below.

"This is actually a supreme treasure that is impervious to all magic?"

"Why would such a priceless treasure suddenly appear here, intending to kill my disciple!"

"Teacher, save me..."

Zhan Yuan's cries for help came to an abrupt end. The enormous demonic tiger's body had been completely swallowed by the quicksand, and no more sound or breath could be heard.

Before Luo Hou could think further, his demonic energy surged, and he was about to personally go to the rescue when...

suddenly!

A beam of supreme golden light burst forth from the quicksand!

"Great virtue and merit!"

Upon seeing this, Rahu's expression suddenly darkened, and he immediately sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

really!

The next moment, the golden light of the Great Dao Merit enveloped the body of the demonic tiger, whose flesh was corroded and rotting all over, and rose out of the sand!

Because Zhan Yuan belonged to the White Tiger clan, he had previously obtained a wisp of the Great Dao's merit.

It was this wisp of Great Dao merit that helped him become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and now it has protected his last chance of survival with its final protective power!

Therefore, Zhan Yuan, who emerged from the quicksand, was not only severely injured and on the verge of death, but even the golden light that protected him quickly dimmed and eventually dissipated completely!

"The merits of the Great Way... are gone!"

"No!"

This was not Zhan Yuan's desperate roar, but rather the unwilling and angry howl of his teacher, Luo Hou:

"Who! Who dares to obstruct my path to enlightenment?"

Rahu was enraged by raging demonic flames.

The Great Dao merits on Zhan Yuan, this demonic tiger, are the starting point and key for him to attain the Great Dao!

With this wisp of Great Dao merit, he can further attain the Great Dao with the blessing of demonic fortune!

Now that Zhan Yuan's Great Dao merits are gone, it proves that his demonic Great Dao merits are also gone!

How can he then attain enlightenment?

How easy is it to attain the Great Dao and accumulate merit again?

Everything has to start anew!

"T-Teacher..."

Seeing Luo Hou so enraged, barely breathing, Zhan Yuan, knowing the gravity of the situation, could only endure his pain and timidly speak:

"This... should be... Zhenyuan... Ancestor!"

He had originally intended to address Zhen Yuanzi by his name, but upon realizing his current tragic state of mind, he was so frightened that he immediately changed his address.

After all, he couldn't be sure whether his teacher could protect him.

Without the protection of the Great Dao and its merits, continuing to harbor resentment and hatred will truly lead to death!

"Zhen Yuanzi?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hou's eyes narrowed sharply.

Gazing at the earth's surface once more, they discovered that the shifting sands that had previously covered an area of ​​100,000 square miles had retreated into the earth's spiritual veins and were now heading eastward...

The quicksand is gone, and the place has been restored to its original state.

"It really is him!"

"But I have no enmity with him, so why are you trying to stop me from attaining enlightenment?"

Luo Hou, puzzled, suddenly fixed his gaze on his prized disciple, Zhan Yuan.

"It's you!"

Having just saved Zhan Yuan and then become enraged at failing to attain the Great Dao, Luo Hou had no time to delve into the matter further.

But when he heard the name Zhen Yuanzi, he immediately calmed down!

Even if Zhan Yuan didn't say it, he still managed to find out the cause and effect through the demonic path!

Upon learning that Zhen Yuanzi was Rahu, who had been settling scores with those who held grudges and disregarded karma, he was nearly driven mad with anger.

He angrily pointed at Zhan Yuan and shouted loudly:

"You have quite the nerve!"

"Do you know that Zhen Yuanzi possesses immense supernatural powers? He mastered the laws of the primordial world and utterly defeated Shen Ni at Wanshou Mountain. Even I, his master, must now give him some leeway!"

"But you...you mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal, where did you get the audacity to speak his name so openly, and even complain that he didn't save your White Tiger clan!"

"Your actions are unacceptable, not only to him who wants to settle this score, but even to me..."

Pfft!

Before Luo Hou could finish cursing, Zhan Yuan, whose injuries were too severe, tilted his head and fainted as if assessing the situation.

"Oh well, never mind."

Seeing that Zhan Yuan was unconscious, Luo Hou's anger subsided by more than half.

He was, after all, the first disciple.

When Zhan Yuan was led astray into the demonic path, he had not yet attained the merits of the Great Dao. Now that he has none, his crime does not warrant death...

Moreover, as a teacher, even if it means giving way a little, one must protect one's students!

It's for the disciples, but even more so for myself!

With a wave of his hand, Luo Hou sent a burst of demonic energy into Zhan Yuan's body, keeping him alive until his last breath.

The next moment, a pillar of demonic energy shot into the sky, radiating boundless killing intent that made the entire world tremble, and fixed its gaze on the direction of Longevity Mountain.

"Zhen Yuanzi! Since you are here to settle karmic debts, then I, Luo Hou, will remember the cause and effect of you injuring my disciple and obstructing my path!"

"I will definitely settle accounts with you in the future!"

The moment these words were spoken, a calm voice followed:

"I'm available anytime."

The voice was calm, yet it exuded enough composure and majesty to resonate throughout the primordial world!
