Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Xuan Du frowned slightly.

That aura was somewhat familiar to him.

It is the aura of primordial creatures.

But when in the primordial world did such a powerful being appear?

The Primordial Golden Immortal.

And there is more than one heaven.

Xuan Du's mind raced with thoughts.

Could it be Yang Mei?

No.

Although he had never personally sensed Yang Mei's aura, he clearly remembered the oppressive aura emanating from the depths of chaos.

The peak of the ninth level of the Primordial Great Luo Heaven is as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea.

It was by no means as barbaric and domineering as it seemed.

Who could it be?

Xuan Du's gaze sharpened.

He didn't want to reveal who it was, no matter who it was.

Although this place is in chaos, it's hard to guarantee that Hongjun won't sense it.

If he appears and interacts with this chaotic being, then the cause and effect will fall into place.

At that time, Hongjun, having deduced the secrets of heaven, might be able to follow the clues to find the source.

Xuan Du's thoughts stirred slightly.

Deep within the Purple Mansion between the eyebrows, the Chaos Pearl trembled slightly.

A chaotic light surged from the pearl, instantly enveloping him.

The radiance was extremely faint, so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

But wherever he went, his aura, his karma, everything about him was completely concealed.

Even at the peak of the ninth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, one would not be able to detect anything without careful investigation.

Xuandu took a step forward.

The void rippled silently.

The figure in green vanished from the spot in an instant.

next second.

He was already thousands of miles away, hidden in the surging chaotic air currents.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through layers of chaos, landing in the direction from which the aura emanated.

He is waiting.

Wait for that being to appear.

Three breaths.

Five breaths.

Ten breaths.

"boom!!!"

The chaotic energy exploded with a deafening roar!

A colossal figure sped out from the depths of chaos.

The figure was about ten thousand feet tall, shaped like a fierce tiger, and its entire body was as black as ink.

Its entire body was covered in jet-black scales, each scale shimmering with innate Dao patterns, radiating a chilling and malevolent aura.

Above its head, a pair of blood-red eyes, as large as lanterns, were staring intently in the direction where the whale had fallen and was sleeping.

Those bloodshot eyes were filled with rage.

It opened its blood-red maw, revealing its gleaming white fangs, and a deep, thunderous roar erupted from its mouth!

"roar!!!"

The roar was so loud, so domineering, so ferocious that it shook the chaos for billions of miles in an instant!

The chaotic energy surged wildly!

The chaotic gale suddenly froze!

Within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, everything tangible and intangible trembled in fear at that roar!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The ferocious beast roared, its voice as cold as ancient ice:

"How dare you take away the Emperor's food!"

"Don't let me find out who it is!"

"Otherwise, I will surely annihilate him, body and soul!"

As the sound faded, its blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings, as if searching for the traces of that audacious scoundrel.

Thousands of miles away.

Xuan Du stood with his hands behind his back amidst the chaotic air currents, his gaze piercing through the layers of surging air currents and landing on that enormous figure.

A faint hint of surprise flashed in the depths of those eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well.

Taotie.

He recognized him.

One of the Four Fiends, an ancient ferocious beast alongside Chaos, Qiongqi, and Taotie.

During the great calamity of ferocious beasts, they wreaked havoc in the primordial world, causing countless deaths.

That was the first great eon after the creation of heaven and earth.

Ferocious beasts roam freely, and all races perish.

The most powerful are the four ferocious beasts and the king of the ferocious beasts, Shen Ni.

The four ferocious beasts each have their own names.

Chaos, Qiongqi, Taotie, Taowu.

When the four beasts join forces, they can form a fierce and malevolent array, which even a peak-level Primordial Golden Immortal would not dare to easily confront.

The ferocious beast king, Shen Ni, has already reached the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

In the later stages of the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts, just as the allied forces of all races were preparing for a decisive battle with the ferocious beasts, Shen Ni and the four great ferocious beasts suddenly disappeared.

There was no news of them, no trace of them.

The allied forces of all races searched the entire wilderness but could not find their whereabouts.

Ultimately, the ferocious beasts, leaderless, were wiped out by the allied forces of all races.

The great calamity of ferocious beasts has come to an end.

However, the whereabouts of Shenni and the Four Fiends remain a great mystery in the prehistoric world.

Some say they were wiped out by the will of Heaven.

Some say they have vanished into chaos.

Some say they are hiding in some secret place, waiting for the right moment to make a comeback.

There are many different opinions, but no one can confirm them.

Now, even Xuan knows.

One of those guesses was correct.

Shen Ni and the four ferocious beasts vanished into chaos.

They escaped the calamity of the ferocious beasts.

I have survived to this day amidst this boundless chaos.

Xuan Du stared at the enormous figure, his gaze slightly narrowed.

Taotie.

The fourth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

He's a level above him.

But so what?

Although he was only at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, he possessed the Chaos Pearl, martial arts laws, and the background of a high-grade Chaos Demon God.

Even at the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm, he might still be able to put up a fight.

Moreover, Taotie hadn't even noticed him at that moment.

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a profound understanding that saw through everything.

He didn't move.

He simply stood quietly thousands of miles away, concealing his aura with the Chaos Pearl, observing Taotie's every move.

The Taotie stood where the whale had fallen and was sleeping, its blood-red eyes scanning its surroundings.

Wherever that gaze passed, chaotic energy surged endlessly, and the void trembled slightly.

It is searching.

Search for the creature that took the whale fall.

But it couldn't find anything.

Under the cover of the Chaos Pearl, the aura, cause and effect, and origin of Xuandu were all isolated.

Even at the peak of the ninth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, one would not be able to detect anything without careful investigation.

Moreover, Taotie is only in the fourth heaven.

"hateful!"

The Taotie roared, its voice shaking the very heavens:

"Who is it?!"

"The food that our Emperor has nurtured for millions of years is gone just like that!"

"When His Majesty finds out, he will surely skin that scoundrel alive, tear out his tendons, and burn him alive!"

It grew angrier as it spoke, and its malevolent aura surged wildly.

On those jet-black scales, the innate Dao patterns suddenly blazed brightly, radiating a destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Xuan Du stood thousands of miles away, listening to the roar of the Taotie, his eyes calm as still water.

Your Majesty.

Divine rebellion.

They were still alive.

Moreover, it feeds on chaotic creatures like whales, devouring their origins, refining their foundations, and replenishing itself.

What level has Shen Ni's cultivation reached now?

Xuan Du's mind raced with thoughts.

The four ferocious beasts are all Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

The four heavens of Taotie.

Chaos, Qiongqi, and Taotie are probably quite similar.

What about Shen Ni?

The King of Ferocious Beasts was once a Primordial Grand Luo Immortal.

Now that the billions of yuan have passed, his cultivation level has probably reached the ninth level of the Hunyuan Daluo realm.

Even higher.

Xuan Du's gaze narrowed slightly.

If Shen Ni truly reaches the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, then he would be an existence on par with Yang Mei.

Even if the Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself were to arrive, he might not be able to secure a victory.

Moreover, what about him, a mere cultivator in the Third Heaven?

Do not confront it head-on.

We can only outsmart them.

Xuan Du's mind raced, but his face remained impassive.

He simply stood quietly thousands of miles away, watching the Taotie roar, search, and vent its anger in the chaos.

Taotie searched for a full century.

Got nothing.

It finally stopped, its blood-red eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"Damn it!"

It growled, turned around, and took a step forward.

The enormous figure slowly disappeared into the depths of chaos.

Xuan Du stared at the disappearing figure, his gaze slightly narrowed.

He didn't follow immediately.

I simply stood quietly in place, waiting.

We've waited a century, what's a little longer?

Just in case, it's better to wait a little longer.

In the chaos, danger lurks everywhere. Though the Taotie is a ferocious beast, it has survived for billions of yuan; it is no fool.

That roar just now seemed like a fit of rage and loss of control, but who knows if it was intentional?

What if it senses someone spying on it, deliberately leaves, and then quietly returns to catch the person off guard?

Xuandu wasn't in a hurry.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his aura restrained and profound, the radiance of the Chaos Pearl enveloping his body, completely concealing all fluctuations of cause and effect.

Time passed slowly.

The chaotic energy continued to surge, and the fierce winds continued to rage.

That timeless silence swallowed up all sound.

Xuan Du's expression remained unchanged, his gaze fixed on the direction the Taotie had gone.

a long time.

"Buzz".

The void trembled slightly.

The enormous, pitch-black figure slowly materialized from the depths of chaos.

Taotie.

It's back.

Those blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings, and wherever their gaze fell, the chaotic energy stagnated slightly.

It searched meticulously, not missing a single abnormality.
