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

Chapter 79 Dragons Dominate the Primordial World? Hongjun Intercepts and Demands the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl

On the shore of the East China Sea.

Luo Hou looked up at the sky, in his eyes...

No longer the auspicious Qilin, but a vast array of auspicious phoenixes flying south from the East China Sea!

This scene enraged him so much that his demonic body trembled violently, and his scarlet eyes were filled with fury.

At this moment, his inner demon was no longer himself, but Zhen Yuanzi!

Zhen Yuanzi has become his inner demon on his path to enlightenment!

"I—I—"

Luo stared at the Phoenix Clan who had withdrawn from the prehistoric world, wishing he could immediately unleash the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and go to Zhen Yuanzi to settle the score!

Unfortunately, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation had not yet been unsealed, and he was not confident that he was its match.

In a fit of anger, he snapped.

He could only vent his pent-up anger by shouting: "Damn it! Zhen Yuanzi, you truly deserve to die!"

"First it was the Ink Qilin, now it's the Black Nether Phoenix!"

"I have schemed for countless eons, and it was only with great difficulty that I led them into my demonic path, using them to instigate a war between the three races."

"But now, not only have the two races retreated from the primordial world together, but their inner demons have also been suppressed by the power of the Earthly Dao and the Heavenly Dao!"

"The heavens and earth suppress them, and in doing so, suppress my demonic destiny!"

The phoenix and the qilin became auspicious beasts, serving as witnesses to heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth will not allow auspicious omens to be demonic.

Although it is impossible to eradicate the demonic inner demons that have merged into the primordial world, it is possible to suppress their inner demons!

This is why Luo Hou realized what was happening.

Even though Zhen Yuanzi, the master of the Earthly Dao, could only protect the Qilin clan, he could not use the power of the Earthly Dao to protect the Dragon and Phoenix clans, thus preventing him from attaining enlightenment.

But the Qilin clan can set an example first~

This led Yuan Feng to a sudden enlightenment, allowing the selfless Heavenly Dao to protect the Phoenix Clan and hinder his and Hongjun's path to enlightenment!

"—Excellent! Excellent plan!"

Rahu gritted his teeth, his eyes wide with rage, and gripped the God-Slaying Spear tightly.

He had to admit that Zhen Yuanzi's scheming was something even he himself couldn't match.

"As expected, he had planned everything all along!"

"The Phoenix Clan retreated after the Qilin Clan, what about the remaining Dragon Clan?"

"And how did you plan this?"

Luo desperately wanted to personally slaughter all the dragons to help him attain enlightenment.

Unfortunately, even with the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which he had not yet fully unsealed, it was still insufficient to annihilate the entire dragon race.

Not to mention, he also has an old rival on the Dragon Clan side, Hongjun!

"Hongjun!"

Upon thinking of Hongjun, Luo Hou's expression suddenly froze. "Could it be that even this old eel's journey to the East Sea was his scheme?"

"Damn it! You really deserve to die!"

Because the Qilin and Phoenix clans withdrew from the prehistoric world one after another and stopped vying for supremacy, the eyes of all the spirits and countless powerful beings in the prehistoric world fell on the Dragon Clan, the last of the three clans!

At this moment, all members of the dragon clan were dumbfounded and stunned.

The two races that were just fighting fiercely with them retreated completely, leaving only the dragon race behind.

This should be considered a resounding victory!

You should love it!

But no matter what, they couldn't be happy.

Both races retreated to atone for the karma they had created, but what about the dragon race?

How should we deal with this?

Is it impossible to not return it?

All the dragons and aquatic creatures under the watchful eyes of the myriad beings of the primordial world felt as if they were being roasted on a barbecue grill.

They could only turn their gazes to their patriarch, Zulong, and await his decision.

The Ancestral Dragon, surrounded by thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, had a terrifyingly gloomy face and was extremely angry.

The two races retreated from the primordial world together, and the culprit who is now causing chaos in the primordial world is none other than the Dragon Clan!

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were innate treasures, but at this moment they became proof of his wreaking havoc in the prehistoric world and bearing immense karmic burdens!

Zu Long clenched his fists, his brows furrowed into a deep frown. As one of the most powerful races in the primordial world, they had actually withdrawn from the primordial world in accordance with the rules of the natural order, simply out of fear of the great calamity?

We don't want any magical treasures or fortuitous opportunities! We don't even want the title of the number one race in the primordial world!

If they don't even have this much courage, then it is only right that our Dragon Clan will rule over all the spirits of the primordial world from now on!

A look of resentment and determination flickered in Zu Long's eyes.

It would be too much to ask him to lead his clan out of the prehistoric world like the Qilin and the Phoenix!

Zhulong noticed the gaze of the Ancestral Dragon and hurriedly came to the former's side, solemnly saying, "Brother, both clans withdrew from the prehistoric world to make up for their karma."

"If our dragon race does not use this method to atone for our karma, we fear we will be rejected by heaven and earth!"

Azure Dragon followed up with a different opinion, "Second Brother, what you say is not wrong. Both clans must retreat, but our Dragon Clan has no choice but to retreat due to our karma."

"However! In this primordial world, only our Dragon Clan is a top-tier race."

"If even my dragon race were to withdraw from the primordial world, wouldn't there be no race left to rule over all living beings in the primordial world?"

"Such a primordial world will surely descend into chaos!"

"The karma that our dragon race will bear when it finally leaves the primordial world will likely be even greater than it has been before!"

Zulong nodded slightly, agreeing with Qinglong's words, "Third brother is absolutely right."

"Our Dragon Clan must never be as lacking in courage as the Phoenix and Qilin Clans. Even if we bear boundless karma, we must shoulder the responsibility of governing all living beings in heaven and earth!"

The will of the First Dragon and the Azure Dragon left the Candle Dragon with no choice but to agree, "Eldest brother, third brother, this is indeed a golden opportunity for our dragon clan to take up the reins of governing the laws of heaven and earth."

"However, the karma that our dragon race bears still needs to be made up for first."

The Azure Dragon's eyes fell upon the body of the Ancestral Dragon, and it nodded in affirmation.

"Second brother, third brother, isn't it simple to atone for the karma our clan has created?"

A confident smile played on Zu Long's lips as he immediately brought the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls before him. "Never forget, our clan possesses such a treasure!"

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were found by the Dragon Clan across the four seas, but not all of them were obtained from the sea eyes of the four seas.

Only twelve were originally located at the bottom of the sea eye; the rest were scattered throughout the four seas.

The First Emperor's confidence came from the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

As long as this supreme treasure is abandoned and the entire Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is placed in the eye of the sea, this treasure can be used to stabilize the four seas and make up for all the karma and evil consequences created by the dragon race!

"good!"

Upon seeing this, both Zhulong and Qinglong were overjoyed.

After reaching an agreement, the Ancestral Dragon decisively unleashed the power of a Primordial Golden Immortal, proclaiming to the primordial world: "Heavenly Dao above! Earthly Dao below! I am the Ancestral Dragon, the one of the Dragon Clan—"

"Fellow Daoist Zulong, wait!"

Just then, an aged voice suddenly interrupted the words of the Ancestral Dragon.

That sound came from Hongjun!

Hongjun's actions astonished and left all the beings in the primordial world in disbelief.

"Master Hongjun, you really have some nerve!"

"How dare the First Emperor interrupt the primordial universe's declaration?"

"Although he is acting in accordance with the Way of Heaven, the Way of Heaven is impartial, but the Way of Earth is also flawed. To interrupt the Ancestral Dragon is to interrupt both the Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth!"

Luo Hou narrowed his eyes, gazing at where Hongjun was. "Has that old worm Hongjun gone mad?"

"No, he's definitely not as crazy as Shi Qilin or Yuan Feng; he has absolute confidence!"

"He possesses a method that can be recognized by both Heaven and Earth to stop the Ancestral Dragon!"

Hongjun's sudden interruption caused the First Emperor's expression to darken abruptly.

He was afraid of being interrupted, so he added an extra tunnel, even more than Yuan Feng did!

But even this was stopped and interrupted!

He stared at Hongjun and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, what is the meaning of your obstruction of my actions?"

Hongjun stroked his white beard, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and spoke in a calm voice, "Fellow Daoist Zulong, have you perhaps forgotten the cause and effect between us?"

As these words fell, the First Emperor suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "You...you want the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?"

Hongjun's expression remained completely unchanged as he replied definitively, "Indeed!"
