Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

At the edge of heaven and earth, the laws of earth, wind, water, and fire that constitute the world intertwine.

The laws of heaven and earth intertwine, collide, perish, and are reborn here.

The immense divine power unleashed by the collision was enough to annihilate an ordinary Taiyi.

The rebirth after annihilation seems to encompass all things in heaven and earth.

A figure closed his eyes, his entire mind immersed in the evolution of heaven and earth.

Huanglong's mind roamed the source of the laws, comprehending the profound truth of "something arising from nothing".

This refinement of his own path to enlightenment surpasses even ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.

He reflected all of this into the Xuanhuang Realm, where it subtly resonated with the frequencies of earth, water, fire, and wind in the outside world.

His cultivation level rose silently, and his understanding of the evolution of the world deepened.

Decades may pass in the blink of an eye during enlightenment.

However, this world was not just his own after all, and the brief peace was eventually broken.

An incredibly powerful energy surge, carrying a violent and malevolent aura mixed with several familiar presences, suddenly arose from afar, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

They forcibly roused Huanglong from his deep state of enlightenment.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the imagery of earth, water, fire, and wind, seemingly born and dying deep within them, gradually dissipated, returning to calm.

Although his enlightenment was interrupted, he felt little anger, only a clear mind.

What I saw and felt during this meditation was already invaluable.

Huanglong's primordial spirit followed the fluctuations through layers of turbulent energy and accurately found the reason that had startled him awake.

There, all the Dragon Clan members from the Taiyi Realm who had come here gathered together—Ao Qing from the East Sea, the old woman Ao Yan from the South Sea, Ao Hen from the West Sea, and the burly man Ao Zhan from the North Sea.

Four Taiyi masters stood in four directions, surrounding several ferocious beasts of various Taiyi realm forms.

Among them, the largest and most ferocious beast was extremely grotesque in appearance, resembling a giant ape, but with eight long arms like dragons and pythons. Its body was covered with dark golden bone armor, on which twisted evil patterns were naturally imprinted.

Standing a hundred feet tall, it roared continuously amidst the raging storm, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space.

It was a ferocious beast at the late stage of the Taiyi Realm!

The magical treasures and supernatural powers of several Taiyi Dragon Clan members struck the ferocious beast, but none of them could inflict any substantial damage.

The other ferocious beasts continued to attack, diverting Ao Qing and his group's attention.

"Form the Four Directions Vast Ocean Formation!"

Ao Qing roared, and the four dragons' magic power flowed together, transforming into a blue light screen that trapped the other ferocious beasts inside. Only one beast was released, and the group worked together to kill it.

Following this method, the group successively killed two ferocious beasts at the Taiyi realm.

Just as the group was about to continue using this method to kill all the ferocious beasts, the strongest ferocious ape suddenly unleashed a deafening roar, which seemed to contain a special will.

The other ferocious beasts roared once and then suddenly stopped moving.

It flew towards the gaping maw of the ferocious ape and was swallowed up by it.

Having devoured several of its own kind, the ferocious ape's violent aura suddenly surged again, reaching the peak of the Taiyi Realm, just one step away from the Daluo Realm.

The ferocious ape swung its eight arms together, its violent baleful aura like a tangible black giant blade, slamming fiercely into the array's light barrier.

"Boom—Crack!"

The light curtain trembled violently, several cracks appeared, and it shattered.

Ao Zhan was a little slow to dodge and was struck on the shoulder by a black, hot blade. His scales shattered instantly, and a large chunk of flesh was sliced ​​off. He groaned in pain, and his aura plummeted.

Having landed a successful blow, the ferocious beast's eyes gleamed even brighter. It brought its four arms together, condensing into a ball of dark, malevolent energy, which it aimed at the obviously injured and sluggish Ao Zhan, ready to deliver a fatal attack!

The other three were furious and tried to help, but were tightly entangled by the beast's other arms.

At this critical moment—

"Ugh."

A soft sigh seemed to echo in everyone's ears.

The next instant, a yellow figure appeared like a ghost directly in front of the swarm of evil energy formed by the ferocious beast.

He threw a punch at the monstrous energy ball that was powerful enough to severely injure Taiyi, and a huge phantom of a world faintly appeared behind it.

This punch, though seemingly slow, contains the power of an entire world.

The space around the fist slightly collapsed inwards, creating an unusual phenomenon.

"puff!"

A muffled thud.

The condensed swarm of evil energy vanished like bubbles.

The fist continued its momentum, striking the beast's chest, which was covered in dark gold bone armor.

"Thump!!!"

The beast's enormous body, hundreds of feet tall, suddenly stiffened, and all its movements came to an abrupt halt.

Its crimson eyes, once filled with destructive desire, dimmed instantly.

The seemingly indestructible dark gold bone armor on his body was cracked open with countless spiderweb-like fissures under the blows of the fist.

It opened its mouth but made no sound. Its massive body crashed backward, its breath beginning to wane. Though not dead, it was not far from death.

Huang Long withdrew his fist, stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had just done something insignificant.

The three dragon clan Taiyi, Ao Qing, Ao Yan, and Ao Zhan, were all frozen in place.

Staring dumbfounded at Huanglong, then turning to look at the Taiyi ferocious beast on the ground, barely clinging to life, he was speechless for a moment.

The three of them fought fiercely and almost perished, only to be defeated by Huang Long, whom they had always thought was merely at the Golden Immortal realm, with a single punch?

How could I not be shocked!

"Still standing there?"

Huang Long spoke calmly, breaking the silence, "If you don't finish the job, the merit will all be mine?"

The four dragons then realized that the Yellow Dragon had accumulated enough merit, so they stopped backing down.

The four dragons attacked together, extinguishing the last vestige of life in the ferocious beast.

Like the other slain ferocious beasts, the corpse of this peak Taiyi Realm ferocious beast also began to disintegrate, transforming into innate primordial energy far purer and more abundant than before, quietly dissipating into the world.

Ao Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. The other dragons bowed deeply to Huang Long together: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Huang Long, for saving us! This kindness…!"

Huang Long waved his hand, interrupting him: "We are all of the same race, there is no need for thanks."

"The laws governing this place are quite profound, and I still need to comprehend them. You may leave as you see fit."

After saying that, he ignored the astonished four dragons and turned away.

However, after his primordial spirit swept back and forth in the Xuanhuang Realm, his indifferent face instantly turned into one of intense heartache.

Seeing that 30% of the world's original essence was missing, one could only weep silently.
