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

How much further?

Qiongqi opened its mouth, its voice as cold as ancient ice.

Taotie was panting, its voice hoarse:

"Almost there... right ahead..."

"That fellow chased me for a while and then stopped; he should still be searching there now."

Upon hearing this, Qiongqi's blood-red eyes gleamed even more fiercely.

It stopped speaking and simply focused all its energy on its source, following closely behind the Taotie.

A long time passed.

The Taotie finally stopped.

Its enormous body hung suspended in the chaos, its blood-red eyes fixed intently ahead.

There, the chaotic energy surged like a tide, and the chaotic winds raged like knives.

Yet amidst that turbulence, there was a deathly silence.

An eerie, deathly silence.

"This is it."

Taotie spoke, its voice trembling:

"That guy... lost me here."

Qiongqi's blood-red eyes scanned its surroundings, and its divine sense surged forth like a tide.

Inch by inch.

Foot by foot.

One zhang at a time.

It searches carefully.

But I couldn't find anything.

Only chaos.

Endless chaos.

Qiongqi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his blood-red eyes.

"Taowu, are you sure this is the place?"

Taotie nodded:

"Sure."

"This disciple risked his life to escape back; I would never dare to lie."

Qiongqi remained silent.

It gazed at the Taotie, at the barely suppressed fear in those bloodshot eyes.

The lingering doubt in my heart gradually dissipated.

It understands the nature of the Taotie.

This beast is cowardly and afraid of trouble; it clings to life and fears death.

If they hadn't truly encountered a formidable enemy, they would never have dared to be in such a sorry state.

Moreover, its wounds, shattered scales, broken bones, and depleted essence.

It cannot be faked.

Qiongqi withdrew its gaze, and greed reappeared in its blood-red eyes.

"Since that fellow has appeared here, he must have left traces."

"Let's search separately. Once you find it, send me a message."

"Once I seize that treasure, I will share a portion with you."

Upon hearing this, Taotie nodded repeatedly:

Thank you!

Qiongqi snorted coldly and turned to rush off in another direction.

Just now.

"Buzz".

The void rippled silently.

A figure in green robes slowly materialized from the void.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his blue robe fluttering slightly, and his black hair flowing over his shoulders.

Within the palm of his hand, a chaotic light flowed ceaselessly.

Xuandu.

He landed in front of Qiongqi, only a thousand feet away.

Those eyes, calm as an ancient well, were quietly gazing at Qiongqi.

Upon seeing this, Qiongqi was overjoyed.

In those blood-red eyes, greed surged like a tidal wave.

It turned its head and looked at the Taotie behind it.

"Is this the person?"

His voice was as cold as ice, yet it carried an irrepressible excitement.

Taotie nodded hurriedly, its jet-black head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice.

"It's him! It's him!"

"I possess a priceless treasure; otherwise, I wouldn't have fled!"

"Qiongqi, although this person is only at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, his treasure is truly bizarre. You must be extremely careful!"

Upon hearing this, Qiongqi snorted coldly.

careful?

Does it need to be handled carefully?

Does a mere ant from the third heaven deserve its caution?

Qiongqi raised its eyes and looked at the figure in green.

His divine sense surged forth like a tide, instantly enveloping Xuandu's entire body.

The Primordial Golden Immortal.

The Three Heavens.

really.

Taotie did not lie to it.

Qiongqi slowly grinned, revealing its gleaming white fangs.

On those fangs, innate Dao patterns flowed, radiating a destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"Ants in the third heaven."

It spoke, its voice full of contempt:

"You dare to act so recklessly in the midst of chaos?"

"You dare to harm my beastly lineage?"

"How dare you steal my emperor's food?"

The words fell.

Qiongqi moved.

Its enormous, crimson figure, like a bolt of blood-red lightning, hurtled straight toward Xuandu!

Ten thousand miles of empty space, arrived in an instant!

Its gaping maw opened wide, and a ferocious light materialized on its stark white fangs!

That bite would severely injure even a fourth-level Grand Luo Immortal!

Taotie stood at a distance, watching Qiongqi rush towards Xuandu, a complex emotion flashing in its blood-red eyes.

Qiongqi, oh Qiongqi.

You're still so impatient.

Still so greedy.

Still acting like this... oblivious to their own mortality.

It had personally witnessed the power of that chaotic light.

That single blow shattered its scales, which were said to be as hard as a treasure of chaos.

That attack severely damaged its ferocious beast body, which was at the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm.

That blow still haunts it to this day.

Now, Qiongqi is going to have a taste of that feeling too.

A sense of schadenfreude welled up in Taotie's heart.

It stood quietly in place, watching Qiongqi pounce on Xuandu.

Looking at the figure in green, he slowly raised his hand.

Xuan Du gazed at the approaching blood-red figure, his eyes calm as still water.

Chaotic light quietly condensed in the palm of his hand.

The light was initially very faint, but in just a moment, it became as intense as the first ray of dawn at the beginning of creation.

He did not back down.

He simply raised his hand and waved it lightly.

"brush!"

A beam of chaotic light burst forth from his palm!

Where the beam of light passed, the chaotic energy did not shatter, but was solidified!

The raging chaotic gale, upon touching the edge of the pillar of light, melted away silently, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!

The vast expanse of space, spanning billions of miles, submitted to that pillar of light!

Qiongqi's pupils suddenly contracted!

It sensed it.

That pillar of chaotic light contained a terrifying power that was enough to severely damage it!

It's not the Triple Heaven!

It's the Fifth Heaven!

This strike clearly possessed the power of the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm!

"impossible!"

Qiongqi roared, its voice filled with disbelief.

It wanted to hide.

It's too late.

The beam of light was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

It can only tough it out.

Qiongqi's body was filled with a ferocious aura, and the innate Dao patterns on its crimson scales suddenly burned to their extreme!

It will take this blow with its own body!

"boom!!!"

The light of chaos struck Qiongqi squarely!

Qiongqi's enormous body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

Wanli.

Ten thousand miles.

Millions of miles.

Its crimson scales, which were said to be as hard as a treasure of chaos, were as fragile as paper in the face of that chaotic light!

Scales shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!

A deep, bone-revealing wound stretched from its shoulder to its chest, with dark red blood gushing out like a spring and splashing into the chaos!

"roar!!!"

Qiongqi roared, its voice filled with anger and disbelief.

It steadied itself, its blood-red eyes fixed on the figure in green.

The figure stood with hands behind his back in the chaos, his green robes fluttering slightly, and his black hair flowing over his shoulders.

Within the palm of his hand, a chaotic light flowed ceaselessly.

His face was young, but his eyes were as calm as an ancient well and as deep as a starry sea.

The Fifth Heaven.

That attack just now clearly possessed the power of the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm.

But the person in front of me clearly only has the cultivation level of the third level.

Qiongqi's blood-red eyes flashed, and thoughts raced through its mind.

Treasure.

It must be that priceless treasure.

Taotie said that this person possesses a supreme treasure that can harm a Primordial Grandmaster.

That treasure must be extraordinary.

It's astonishing that a mere ant at the third level of the Heavenly Realm could unleash the power of the fifth level.

What if I obtained that treasure myself?

Qiongqi felt a surge of excitement.

It is the early stage of the fifth level of the Primordial Great Luo Heaven.

If we obtain that supreme treasure, wouldn't we be able to unleash the power of the Seven Heavens?

Seventh Heaven!

Even a god would have to look at something of that level with respect.

Even Chaos and Taotie dared not contend with it anymore.

In Qiongqi's blood-red eyes, greed surged like a tidal wave.

The wound inflicted by the chaotic light is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shattered scales are regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It took a deep breath, suppressing the surging pain in its heart.

"My darling."

Qiongqi spoke, its voice hoarse, yet filled with an uncontrollable greed:

"What a treasure!"

"How dare an ant from the Third Heaven injure me so badly?"

"If I obtain this treasure, I dare to fight even the Seventh Heaven!"

It raised its eyes and stared intently at Xuandu.

There was no longer a trace of contempt in those bloodshot eyes.

Only greed.

Naked greed.
