CHAPTER 496: CHAPTER 358: THE BOTTOM LINE OF VIRTUE, SCHEMING MINDS

Xuanqing was at the beginning of the Era, refining the Space-Time River, drawing the power of the End of the Tribulation from the last Chaos Era, but the struggle in the Primordial True Realm did not cease.

Although Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi self-destructed, taking three Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals with them, the Dragon Clan, with the full support of the Three Taoist Sects and deep foundations, still suppressed the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan.

Meanwhile, on the Witch Clan’s side, Emperor Jiang intended to take action but was stopped by Zhu Jiuyin: "Elder brother, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans still have trump cards undeployed, and the Three Taoist Sects are thriving. Now is not the time for us to act!"

He saw far more than other beings, even though the battle had come this far, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans were still wary, not utilizing all their means.

Clearly, this was to guard against the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, and the transcendent Human Race.

Although Nuwa was helping the Phoenix Clan under disguise, with Fu Xi mingling with the Demon Clan and successfully transforming into an Ancestor Witch through the Fierce Beast Tribulation, Shennong, Xuanyuan, and Li Tan had not yet taken action.

History as a mirror offers insight into the rise and fall; recurring calamities have taught many forces wisdom, preventing the concentration of all power in one place.

Fu Xi and Nuwa seemed to be stirring trouble but never involved the Human Race. Even if they failed, the Human Race could make a justified separation.

After all...

The Human Race didn’t meddle in this matter!

The Buddhist Sect was similar. Although Jieyin and Zhunti intervened, Ksitigarbha entered the Netherworld, and Pharmacist established a Buddha Country in the East.

The Three Taoist Sects were even more so, concealing themselves under the guise of the Dragon Clan. Even if the Dragon Clan were defeated, it wouldn’t affect their status in the Primordial World.

The Demon Clan seemed to have lost two Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals, but they all knew it was merely to reshape the Ancestor Witch Body!

Zhu Jiuyin’s mind flickered, the power of the Cosmic Dao swept across the Space-Time River, and two Golden Crow True Spirits instantaneously turned into brilliant streams of light that fell into the "Pangu Blood Pool."

Soon, two formidable auras manifested. Though their bodies remained in the form of Golden Crows, their physical forms had transformed into Ancestor Witch Battle Bodies.

Void Ancestor Witch!

Light Ancestor Witch!

Emperor Jun, using the Taixu Great Dao, attained Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal status; Donghuang Taiyi certified his Dao with the Light Great Dao. Even if they transformed their Innate Taoist Bodies into Ancestral Witch True Bodies at this moment, it wouldn’t hinder their cultivation in the Great Dao.

"Is this the feeling of an Ancestor Witch?"

In the past, the Witch and Demon Clans faced each other with lethal intent at every encounter, and Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi naturally never had the opportunity to truly comprehend the Great Dao of the Witch Clan.

The Witch Clan’s Primordial Spirit was weak, but their physical strength was exceptionally robust. After certifying the Dao of Primordial Chaos, their physical bodies surpassed even ordinary Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals.

Being descendants of Pangu, the Witch Clan possessed innate advantages; upon certifying the Dao, they could wield powers far surpassing ordinary Saints.

No wonder many great powers feared them!

And now, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi took the opportunity to join the Witch Clan, partly because Donghuang Taiyi and Xuanming had birthed offspring imbued with the bloodlines of both clans, and partly to... further advance their own Great Dao!

"How is the three clans’ war going?"

After briefly contemplating his own transformation, Emperor Jun looked toward Fu Xi and asked, "Are the cultivators of the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan still holding their ground?"

Although he and Donghuang Taiyi took three Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals away, other beings disguised and infiltrated into the Phoenix Clan had ulterior motives. Seeing the situation turning unfavorable for themselves and the Phoenix Clan, it wouldn’t be surprising if they switched sides mid-battle!

Sometime along the way, the bottom line of the Primordial Saints had become increasingly low!

No one could guarantee that a certain Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal wouldn’t suddenly act on an impulse to further breach the moral bottom line of the Primordial World!

"Stop fighting!"

In the Space-Time River, Zhunti, suppressed and beaten by Yuanshi Tianzun, suddenly spoke up: "Primordial Dragon Daoist, we are willing to renounce darkness and join the Dragon Clan to, alongside Daoist, liberate the beings oppressed by the Phoenix Clan!"

Before finishing his sentence, Zhunti Daoist wielded his Divine Skills, transforming his Phoenix True Body into a True Dragon Dao Body: "This humble one can also be part of the Dragon Clan!"

Seeing this, Jieyin Daoist followed suit, converting his Phoenix True Body into a True Dragon Dao Body: "The Silent Golden Dragon greets the Primordial Dragon Daoist!"

Yuanshi Tianzun’s mouth twitched, reluctant to engage them, but with his current strength, he couldn’t annihilate their Golden Bodies swiftly either.

Just now, he had sensed the change in Chan Sect’s destiny, aware of the demise of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, eager to return to the Primordial True Realm!

Naturally, he didn’t wish to continue the struggle with the two!

Thus, even though displeased, he still forced a smile and said: "The two Daoist friends, understanding the greater good, this humble one thanks you on behalf of the Ancestor Dragon Daoist!"

Making the same decision, Kunpeng Daoist, seeing the Phoenix Clan beginning to collapse, directly backstabbed the Phoenix Clan’s Ling Guang on the battlefield, then transformed into a True Dragon Dao Body: "I am also a member of the Dragon Clan!"

Kunpeng’s bottom line wasn’t much higher either. With a loud shout, he charged toward Ling Guang: "Let this Nine Heavens True Dragon meet you!"

"Kunpeng, I..."

Ling Guang, in a fit of rage, cursed loudly, but she barely uttered two or three words before Kunpeng used some strange Divine Skills to cut off her voice.

"Silence of All Sounds!"

Kunpeng unleashed his domain, in which only black and white colors remained. Except for himself, no living being could utter a sound.

He declared righteously: "What Kunpeng? Is Daoist mistaken? This humble one is a Nine Heavens True Dragon, not the Kunpeng Saint who, in the Fierce Beast Tribulation, sacrificed himself for the beings of the Primordial World!"
