The final battle at the summit of the heavens entered an even more brutal final stage after Wugu forcefully wiped out dozens of peak beast kings.

On the side of the ferocious beasts, only the Beast King Shen Ni and the Reincarnation Beast King remain. However, with the help of overwhelming evil energy, their strength has reached the peak of the ninth level of the first realm of enlightenment. Now, they have devoured the fortune of the fallen peak beast king and are faintly at the half-step Hunyuan realm. Their ferocity has not diminished but increased.

Meanwhile, the situation for the innate gods and demons has become increasingly critical in the past tens of thousands of years of fierce battles.

Following Tai Chi and the Reversed Ancestor, several other ancient gods and demons have fallen.

The Primordial Ancestor Hun Kun, whose Great Dao of Devouring could have devoured the heavens and earth, was interfered with by the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc of the Reincarnation Beast King. The Great Dao backfired, and Hun Kun's true body was pierced by Shen Ni's spear, causing his soul to be scattered.

The Devouring Ancestor, who wielded the power of plunder, intended to devour the Beast Emperor's origin, but was met with a backlash of malevolent energy, his Dao foundation shattered, and he was crushed to death by the gears of reincarnation...

The other ancestors, such as those of the Five Elements and Yin Yang, though each possessed astonishing abilities, were also severely injured and in grave danger under the absolute power of the two emperors and the suppression of their bizarre treasures.

Even the strongest of them—Hongjun, Luohou, and Yangmei—could only barely hold on, and their defeat seemed to be only a matter of time.

Wugu's figure was hidden in the folds of the void, calmly observing the battlefield.

With a wave of his hand, he quietly collected the remaining corpses and lost spiritual treasures of several fallen innate gods and demons, such as Hun Kun and Shi Tian, ​​into the Creation God Pearl space, and entrusted them to the Heavenly Tribulation and Stars for sealing.

These remains and magical artifacts of gods and demons contain fragments of their great Dao and origins, making them excellent resources.

Looking at those innate gods and demons who were usually aloof and regarded all living beings as ants, but were now fighting to the death for survival and opportunities like ordinary people, Wu Gu's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he saw through their deep motives.

These gods and demons are all the second incarnations of the remnants of the Chaos Gods, reincarnated in the primordial world. They have extraordinary backgrounds and are proud and arrogant. Why would they risk such dangers to throw themselves into this great calamity that will surely be cleansed?

Ultimately, it all comes down to interests; it's a fundamental struggle that cannot be backed down from.

Firstly, the merit of the Great Dao. Slaying the ferocious beasts and quelling the great calamity is a great deed for the Primordial Heaven. After the great calamity ends, the Great Dao will manifest and bestow a vast amount of merit.

Its merits and uses are boundless; it can enhance cultivation, refine spiritual treasures, offset karma, and even protect one's path to enlightenment. It is an unparalleled treasure.

Secondly, the Great Dao's fortune. Ferocious beasts are a malignant tumor on heaven and earth; by eliminating them, one can seize the primordial fortune of the world they occupy.

When good fortune arrives, cultivation goes smoothly and opportunities come naturally. For gods and demons who aspire to achieve the primordial state, good fortune is of paramount importance.

Thirdly, and most importantly: the opportunity to attain the Primordial Chaos. As the pacifier of the Great Calamity, one will receive the favor and blessing of the Primordial World's origin, gaining a crucial opportunity to attain the Primordial Chaos.

Although these gods and demons now rely on secret techniques or supreme treasures, their strength can now be comparable to that of a mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and they have reached the third to fifth level of enlightenment.

However, to truly attain the Great Dao of Hunyuan in the primordial world and become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The primordial world is now under the dual suppression of the Great Dao and the will of Father God Pangu, making it extremely restrictive.

If they cannot attain the Primordial Chaos before the Great Dao retreats into seclusion and the Heavenly Dao emerges, they only have two paths.

They could either wander into the chaos like stray dogs, their future uncertain, or merge their own Great Dao into the primordial world, submit to the soon-to-be-born Heavenly Dao, and become a Heavenly Dao Saint. Although they would gain immortality, they would lose their freedom and be subject to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.

For these reincarnated souls of chaotic gods and demons who value freedom above all else, becoming servants of the Heavenly Dao is an unacceptable disgrace.

That's why they're working so hard, hoping to find a way to transcend this calamity.

Clearly, the Great Dao also intends to use others as pawns. It wants to use the most cruel blade, the Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts, to cleanse these restless reincarnations of chaotic gods and demons, weeding out the weak and eliminating the strong.

The victor will have the opportunity to attain enlightenment; the loser will die and their path will vanish, all will be in vain.

Having seen through all this, Wugu was in no hurry to intervene in the final battle for the throne.

He concealed his aura, like the most patient hunter, standing on the edge of the void, frantically circulating his cultivation technique, devouring the vast, ocean-like malevolent energy, death energy, and resentment energy on the battlefield, refining it into pure essence, and continuously injecting it into the three thousand fully mature blood cocoons in his dantian, accelerating the accumulation of their foundation and preparing for future transformation.

He observed coldly, his gaze lingering on several treasures that stirred his heart: the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit (Hongjun), the Twelve-Petaled Black Lotus of Annihilation (Luohou), the Pangu Banner (Hongjun), the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc (Reincarnation Beast King)...

These treasures were all of great significance to him, especially the Pangu Banner and the Chaos Bell, which had not yet appeared in the world. Both of them, along with the Taiji Diagram that Wugu had already obtained, were transformed from Pangu's axe that opened the heavens and the earth, containing the true meaning of creation, and were more powerful and mysterious than ordinary innate treasures.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation is the ultimate shortcut to comprehending the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

After observing for thousands of years, the opportunity finally appeared.

Shen Ni's spear repelled Yang Mei's spatial cutting, and with a backhand strike of the God-Slaying Spear - Void Breaker, the dark spear light, like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, pierced straight at Hong Jun's face.

Hongjun hurriedly activated the Pangu Banner to defend himself, and the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit beneath his feet shone brightly, forming an absolute defense.

However, the power contained in Shen Ni's spear was too terrifying. The aftershock of the spear force actually blew away the protective light shield of the Golden Lotus of Merit. The Golden Lotus spun around and escaped Hongjun's control.

"Now is the time." A glint flashed in Wugu's eyes, and the five-colored divine light, already poised to be unleashed, swept out like lightning.

In Hongjun's astonished, angry, and even incredulous gaze, the golden lotus of twelve merits, shining with boundless golden light, was swept away by divine light and vanished without a trace. It had been absorbed into the space of the Creation Divine Pearl and was sealed by the Heavenly Tribulation and the stars.

"Wugu!" Hongjun let out a fierce shout filled with shock and anger, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins and murderous intent soaring to the sky.

The Golden Lotus of Merit is the foundation of their defense; losing this treasure would greatly diminish their combat power.

But Shenni's second spear, carrying overwhelming murderous intent, struck again. Hongjun had no time to spare and could only desperately deal with it, his hatred for Wugu reaching its peak.

Wu Gu, however, did not care at all. The calamity energy of heaven and earth was already as dense as the sea, so a little more stimulation would not hurt.

Ten thousand years later, the war became even more brutal.

Rahu's demonic power was overwhelming. The Heavenly Demon Tower and the God-Slaying Spear clashed head-on, but he was inadvertently restrained by the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc of the Reincarnation Beast King, revealing a weakness.

Shen Ni seized the opportunity and thrust the God-Slaying Spear straight at Rahu's brow.

At the critical moment, Wugu secretly activated the divine power of the Great Dao of Time, "Time Stopped".

An invisible ripple of time swept by, precisely freezing Rahu and the space-time around him for an extremely brief moment.

This slight stagnation was almost imperceptible, yet it was enough to slow down Rahu's response by a fraction of an inch.

"Bang."

It was by this narrow margin that, although Luo Hou managed to deflect the sharpness of Shen Ni's God-Slaying Spear, the terrifying spear energy still struck the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus beneath his feet squarely.

The twelfth-grade black lotus let out a mournful cry, its lotus platform dimmed, and it was violently whipped away by a tremendous force.

The five-colored divine light arrived as scheduled, like a whale sucking in water, drawing the out-of-control world-destroying black lotus into the divine pearl space and sealing it instantly.

However, Wugu did not go all the way this time.

The instant he took away the Black Lotus's main body, he flicked his finger, sending a lotus seed containing pure essence, condensed at the core of the Black Lotus, towards the still-shaken and furious Rahu.

This lotus seed is the lifeblood of the Black Lotus. Giving it to him is to leave a glimmer of hope for Rahu's demonic path and to lay the foundation for Rahu to reforge the Demon Lotus in the future.

Although Luo Hou's gaze remained icy and piercing, as if he wanted to devour Wu Gu alive, Wu Gu simply remained indifferent and didn't care at all.

His opportunistic behavior even caused the old ancestor Yangmei, who had been lingering on the edge of the battlefield and maneuvering with his spatial abilities, to twitch slightly at the corner of his eye. He secretly sighed at the boy's decisive and unfathomable methods.

From then on, the only treasures that Wugu coveted most on the battlefield were the Pangu Banner in Hongjun's hands and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc wielded by the Reincarnation Beast King.
