Chapter 143 The Calamity Begins

"However, the First Qilin and the Heavenly Phoenix are not weak either. The Ancestral Dragon can remain undefeated in the face of their combined attack, but it is impossible for him to defeat them."

The Five Elements Ancestor spoke, his gaze falling on the Heavenly Phoenix. He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Phoenix would actually possess the Five-Colored Divine Light, a divine power whose strength was no weaker than his own.

"The descendants of Pangu are truly mysterious."

The Five Elements Ancestor sighed softly.

"It's really good."

The Yin-Yang Ancestor nodded in agreement. Although neither the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Qilin, nor the Heavenly Phoenix possessed particularly powerful Dao, they had another identity: descendants of Pangu.

Therefore, their strength is actually quite good, and they are no weaker than those who have the background of chaotic gods and demons.

Especially the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was a treasure tailor-made for Him, directly merging with His dragon body, giving Him the strength of a true body comparable to a Chaos God or Demon, allowing Him to withstand two equally powerful opponents without being at a disadvantage.

While watching the battle, Xu Qiankun's attention was also occasionally drawn to the world below.

At this point, all three races, whether at the high, middle, or low levels, had already clashed in battle.

"Such a dense aura of calamity!" Xu Qiankun's gaze fell on Yinglong, and he immediately saw the extremely dense black aura of calamity. "It should be related to the death of the Fire Kirin Ancestor."

Xu Qiankun naturally did not believe Yinglong's claim that he had killed the Fire Kirin Ancestor.

The two are roughly equal in strength, so killing him is not that easy.

There must be a mastermind behind this.

He didn't even need to guess to know that it was definitely the demons who were behind it.

"Enveloped in calamity, Yinglong's mind is gradually being clouded."

Xu Qiankun observed Yinglong's condition and found that his expression and actions were becoming increasingly violent.

In particular, His opponent was the White Tiger Ancestor, who mastered the Great Dao of Metal and was extremely skilled in killing.

In their battle, the White Tiger Ancestor grew stronger with each fight, while Yinglong became increasingly frenzied.

Not only Yinglong, but as the battle has fully commenced, a large number of casualties have already occurred, and each casualty adds to the battlefield's sense of impending doom.

These calamities are formless and intangible, yet they truly exist. Those involved cannot see or touch them; only outsiders can perceive them.

Once shrouded in the aura of calamity, one's mind will be gradually clouded. Ultimately, one will either wake up when the calamity ends and the aura dissipates, or perish completely in the calamity.

Even those who do not become saints cannot escape this fate.

Xu Qiankun's third eye swirled with the rules of the Great Dao, his gaze sweeping over all the living beings below, discovering that they had all been tainted with the aura of calamity to varying degrees.

Even powerful beings like the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Qilin, and the Heavenly Phoenix were no exception; although the aura of calamity was faint, it was still real.

"It seems that calamity energy, like merit, has the ability to trace back to its origin."

Xu Qiankun became secretly wary.

These innate gods and demons, except for Wangshu, were all originally the targets of Hongjun and Luohou. In other words, they were all in the midst of the calamity. It's just that the great calamity has only just begun and they have not yet been shrouded in the calamity aura.

"Will Rahu be blinded by the aura of calamity?"

Xu Qiankun looked towards the battlefield.

Rahu controls the demonic path, and the death energy, resentment, and other energies condensed from the deaths of beings at least at the True Immortal level are his best resources.

Since Rahu has gone to great lengths to provoke a war, he will certainly not let this opportunity pass him by.

Xu Qiankun traced the cause and effect by following the direction of the death energy and resentment, and finally found Rahu and four peak Great Luo experts hiding in a secluded space. One of them was the demon king Bo Xun, whom he had seen before, with four faces and eight arms.

"There's no aura of calamity at all!" He couldn't even see any aura of calamity on Rahu and the four powerful figures. "How could there be no aura of calamity?"

Xu Qiankun frowned deeply. He was absolutely certain that the conflict between the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan was instigated by these guys.

Even the Fire Kirin Ancestor should have died at the hands of the Demon Clan. Yinglong was just a scapegoat; otherwise, the aura of calamity on him wouldn't have been so weak.

The fall of a primordial god-demon, not to mention the karmic consequences of the heavens, even the calamity energy was immense, enough to cloud the mind of a powerhouse of the same level.

"Could it be because this is a battle between Hongjun and Luohou for the Dao that the demon race is unaffected by the calamity energy?"

Xu Qiankun's heart pounded wildly. If that were true, then the threat posed by Luo Hou and Hongjun would be immense.

Even though they weren't the strongest of the three races, Xu Qiankun, along with the Five Elements Ancestor, the Yin-Yang Ancestor, Yangmei Immortal, and Wang Shu, were among the first batch of innate gods and demons to be born, and to put it bluntly, they came to face their tribulations.

Therefore, unless they escaped the primordial world beforehand, they would inevitably be dragged into the great calamity.

"This is getting a bit dangerous."

Xu Qiankun sensed the danger.

He currently holds many trump cards, and if it comes to a direct confrontation, He is indeed not afraid of Hongjun and Rahu. However, once His mind is clouded by the calamity, things may change.

"Furthermore, the Demon Clan killed the Fire Kirin Ancestor, yet they don't bear the karmic consequences of the Heavenly Dao?"

Xu Qiankun then discovered an even more serious problem.

Xu Qiankun then discovered an even more serious problem.

Although there is a significant difference between the Fire Kirin Ancestor and innate gods and demons like them who are directly born from a complete Great Dao, they are still innate gods and demons born from heaven and earth.

It's not a counterfeit product made by Rahu, like the Demon God of Slaughter or the Demon God of Destruction.

Killing them would inevitably incur karmic consequences, which is why all three races exercised restraint.

Things are getting more and more complicated.

"In a short period of time, I must prepare more trump cards to save my life."

A sense of urgency rose in Xu Qiankun's heart.

His gaze fell on the Five Elements Ancestor. If we're talking about trump cards, the Five Elements Dao Differentiation Divine Power is definitely the best choice.

The Five Elements Dao is divided into five branches: Five Elements Balance, Five Elements Generation and Restraint, Five Elements Differentiation, Five Elements Transformation, and Five Elements Annihilation.

The supernatural power carried by the Five Elements differentiation is the method of splitting oneself into five, which is equivalent to having five lives.

Besides the Five Elements Dao, Xu Qiankun can also comprehend the Dao of the Origin of Life. The Dao of the Origin of Life can also be used to create life clones. While sharing the same consciousness, life clones can also sever causal connections, making it an extremely powerful means of self-preservation.

only...

Compared to the Five Elements Dao, which can be mastered quickly, the Dao of the Origin of Life is much more difficult to comprehend.

To comprehend the Great Dao of the Five Elements, one only needs to exchange the Five Elements Pearls in the hands of the Five Elements Ancestor and integrate them into the Great World of Heaven and Earth to achieve great success.

When He integrates the Five Elements Dao into the Qiankun Dao, His strength will be able to advance even further, and reaching the Quasi-Saint realm, comparable to the Three Corpses, should not be difficult.

Although the Five Elements Pearl is not the Five Elements Ancestor's innate spiritual treasure, it is still an extremely important treasure, and the Five Elements Ancestor would certainly not be willing to exchange it easily.

What worries Xu Qiankun even more is that in the original story, the Five Elements Ancestor, the Qiankun Ancestor, and the Yin-Yang Ancestor all perished in the end, and only the Great Immortal Yangmei, who was skilled in escape techniques, escaped the calamity.

The Five Elements Ancestor clearly possessed the ability to create clones, so why did he still perish?

Xu Qiankun guessed that it was highly likely that the person was blinded by the aura of calamity and had not thought about leaving a way out.

"Therefore, simply cultivating an avatar is not enough; I must also take the Great World of Qiankun away from the prehistoric world to avoid getting carried away."

Just as Xu Qiankun was considering his options, the battle below intensified.

Soldiers fought soldiers, generals fought generals; the battle was incredibly fierce.

When Yinglong clashed with the White Tiger Ancestor, even though he possessed three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the third one only had sixteen layers of restrictions refined, so it couldn't unleash much power.

This means that only the Star Seal and the White Dragon Spear are available.

Although the White Tiger only possesses a companion spirit treasure, the Zanpakuto, and this sword has only 42 innate restrictions, its killing power is terrifying, and its combat strength is almost comparable to that of a top-tier innate god or demon.

On the other side, the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix joined forces to suppress the Azure Dragon and the Candle Dragon.

Although Zhulong was very powerful, and his Dao of Time was even more formidable, he was not a true god or demon born from the Dao of Time.

The Black Tortoise and the Vermilion Bird fought much more politely; the Black Tortoise excelled in defense, while the Vermilion Bird was skilled in powerful fire attacks.

Finding that neither side could gain the upper hand, they simply gave up and didn't bother to make a move unless the other side went to support other battlefields.

bang

On the battlefield of ordinary peak Great Luo cultivators, a peak Great Luo dragon had half of its body shattered by a Qilin wielding a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Seeing the Qilin charging towards him, the Dragon Clan's Great Luo Golden Immortal's eyes hardened, and he chose to self-destruct without hesitation.

The terrifying aftershocks shook the heavens and earth, severely injuring the Qilin that charged towards Him, while several Great Luo Golden Immortals not far away were killed by the aftershocks of the self-destruction.

Between heaven and earth, calamity energy rose, and the Dragon-Han Great Calamity began to brew.
