In the primordial era: the Wu tribe ceased its struggle for supremacy, and Hongjun collapsed!

Three breaths later.

boom!!!

The terrifying explosion finally erupted underground.

The violent energy swept across the entire bottom of the abyss, turning countless boulders into dust.

Houtu and Zhujiuyin's figures were submerged in the sky filled with black and red light.

Endless demonic energy, mixed with the decaying death energy accumulated underground for countless eons, transformed into an incredibly thick black pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, actually tearing apart the clouds above and leaving a huge, persistent, pitch-black vortex on the western sky of the primordial world.

it's dark.

This kind of black is not the tranquil darkness of night, but a deathly stillness filled with violence, destruction, and despair.

The black, demonic cloud spread rapidly, obscuring the sun's brilliance. Within a radius of millions of miles, vegetation withered, and living beings huddled in caves in fear.

Within those demonic clouds, faint flashes of dark red lightning could be seen, and each bolt of lightning that struck the ground would corrode a bottomless pit.

I don't know how much time has passed.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the demonic energy, though still dense, had lost its previous lively and malevolent will, becoming rigid and silent.

In the center of the abyss, Houtu's face was deathly pale, and a trace of blood clung to the corner of her mouth.

Her hands were still pressed on the ancestral vein, and although the originally charred dragon vein was still weak, a faint golden light had begun to shine through the cracks.

"It's a success..." Houtu smiled weakly.

Zhu Jiuyin supported the swaying Houtu, whose breathing was also somewhat disordered, and whose divine eyes appeared much dimmer.

"Luo Hou's methods are indeed bizarre." Zhu Jiuyin frowned slightly as he looked at the remaining demonic energy around him. "For a moment just now, I felt that something was wrong, but that feeling was fleeting and impossible to grasp."

Houtu sighed softly, "The power of that demonic self-destruction was too great. We are already extremely fortunate to have preserved our ancestral lineage. As for Luo Hou, he was, after all, someone who once contended with Hongjun. It is normal for him to have some backup plans."

Looking down at the gradually recovering land beneath her feet, a hint of relief appeared in her eyes: "As long as the ancestral veins remain, there is hope for the West. Next, all we need to do is continue to nurture it, and with the help of the cosmic energy provided by my elder brother, one day, Mount Sumeru will once again resemble a blessed land of immortals."

…………

"That's... the direction of Mount Sumeru!"

In a mountain range tens of thousands of miles away from Mount Sumeru, the great shaman Yi suddenly looked up, his hand gripping his crimson bow tightly, his eyes filled with horror.

Behind him, thousands of Wu tribe warriors who were clearing the earth's veins also stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the sky-covering demonic clouds.

"The two lords are still there!" Kuafu roared like thunder. His originally burly body expanded again, transforming into a giant thousands of feet tall. With each step, he could cross several mountains as he madly rushed towards Mount Sumeru.

"Quickly! All warriors of the Witch Clan, follow me to rescue the Ancestral Witch!"

In an instant, countless powerful auras rose up across the western land, and the unique savage blood energy of the Witch Clan gathered in the darkness into streaks of red meteors, rushing against the demonic wind towards the terrifying source.

However, this shock affected more than just the Wu tribe.

On their journey to the West, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi were riding on auspicious clouds, and their speed was not particularly fast.

Zhen Yuanzi's brows remained furrowed, and the Earth Book hidden in his sleeve trembled more and more violently.

"Brother Hongyun, stop!" Zhen Yuanzi suddenly pressed down on Hongyun's shoulder, his face pale.

"What's wrong?" Hongyun asked, a look of confusion on her face.

Zhen Yuanzi took a deep breath, his tone extremely heavy: "It's Mount Sumeru."

It seems that fellow Daoists Houtu and Zhujiuyin have encountered serious trouble.

Upon hearing this, Hongyun was first startled, then a resolute glint flashed in her eyes: "Then we'd better hurry!"

"Walk!"

Zhen Yuanzi summoned the Earth Book, and the earthen-yellow light screen transformed into a thick defensive barrier, enveloping the two of them. The two transformed into an earthen-yellow streak of light, increasing their speed to the extreme, leaving a long afterimage in the void, heading straight for Mount Sumeru.

Tens of thousands of miles behind Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, Kunpeng pursued them at an incredible speed.

His cold eyes were fixed on the yellowish-brown streak of light ahead, a sneer filling his heart.

He caught up with them!

"Your Majesty, I'm catching up with them soon," Kunpeng transmitted his voice to Dijun behind him using a secret technique.

"Alright! Demon Master, you hold them off first, my second brother and I will be there shortly!"

Di Jun's voice rang out in Kunpeng's sea of ​​consciousness.

As Hongyun was moving at full speed, he suddenly felt the void in front of him collapse without warning.

"Watch out!" Zhen Yuanzi reacted extremely quickly, and the Earth Book suddenly pushed upwards.

Click!

Countless dark spatial rifts, like venomous snakes, emerged and slammed into the Earth Book's defensive shield. Immediately afterward, a piercing scream resounded through the sky, and a colossal Kunpeng bird, its claws blotting out the heavens, extended its sharp claws from the void, each tip gleaming with a cold, icy light.

"Kunpeng!" Hongyun exclaimed in shock and rage, the Soul-Scattering Gourd instantly appearing in his hand. "How dare you ambush us here?"

"Red Cloud, hand over the Primordial Purple Qi, and I can guarantee your primordial spirit's survival!" Kunpeng's voice was as cold as ice. "Otherwise, this will be your place of demise!"

"Don't even think about it!" Hongyun shouted, and pulled out the stopper of the Nine-Nine Red Cloud Soul-Dispersing Gourd, from which endless red sand poured out like a waterfall.

Each grain of this red sand is as heavy as a mountain and can corrupt one's spirit.

The sky filled with red sand, like an endless crimson storm, carrying a strange aura that corroded the primordial spirit and eroded the true soul, completely sealing off the void within a radius of thousands of miles.

Each grain of red sand was as heavy as a star, and under the frantic urging of the red clouds, it emitted a piercing shriek, attempting to obliterate the enormous roc that blotted out the sky.

"Even a grain of rice dares to shine!"

Kunpeng snorted coldly and flapped its wings violently. Its enormous body, which seemed to have no end, moved incredibly nimbly in the void. Each flap of its wings brought up a void hurricane powerful enough to tear apart the flesh of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Devouring Heaven and Earth!"

The Kunpeng opened its enormous maw, which seemed capable of swallowing the galaxy, and a huge, pitch-black vortex formed in front of it.

The vortex generated an extremely terrifying suction force, forcibly drawing in the scattered red sand that was pouring down from the sky, continuously pouring it into the bottomless abyss-like maw.

"Hongyun, your Soul-Scattering Red Sand may be mysterious, but to me it is nothing but an illusion!" Kunpeng's voice reverberated in the void, causing Hongyun's blood and qi to surge.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi's face grew even more gloomy.

He knew that Kunpeng was the fastest in the primordial world, and if he could not force it back in a short time, the consequences would be unimaginable once Dijun and Taiyi arrived.

"Earthly scripture, rise! With profound virtue, it bears all things; all laws cannot infringe upon it!"

Zhen Yuanzi rapidly formed hand seals, and the Earth Book above his head erupted with an unprecedented earthy-yellow divine light.

The divine light rapidly spread, transforming into an enormous yellow lotus platform that tightly protected Hongyun and him at its center.

The Earth Book resonated with the primordial earth veins below, and the continuous power of the earth strengthened it, making the defensive shield as thick and heavy as the foundation of Mount Buzhou.

"Brother Hongyun, don't get entangled with him! I'll clear the way, you come with me and charge through!"
