In the Primordial World, years were not counted, and Cultivation knew no age.
Deep within Pangu Hall, the Blood Pool still churned with rich Blood Qi and Evil Qi.
Compared to when Zhou Ming first awoke, it was even more viscous and chaotic, as if the Blood Pool itself could feel the contamination of the chaotic killing Qi from the outside world.
Zhou Ming sat cross-legged within the blood cocoon that had nurtured him, his mind completely immersed in Cultivation.
Refining the Heaven Opening Evil Qi and solidifying his Primordial Spirit became his primary and only task after awakening.
Since successfully refining the first wisp of Heaven Opening Evil Qi, he had found a way.
He used the System's core—which Zhou Ming now preferred to call the "dao source divine pearl"—to suppress and protect his Primordial Spirit.
Then, using the Law of Force as a guide, he meticulously refined the violent Evil Qi that was eroding his Primordial Spirit.
This process was extremely monotonous and accompanied by unspeakable pain, but Zhou Ming relished it.
With every bit of Evil Qi he refined, his Primordial Spirit grew stronger, and his control over himself became greater.
The dao source divine pearl truly lived up to its name as an Innate supreme treasure personally refined by Father Pangu; each rotation stirred the aura of the Dao.
Subtly, it enhanced Zhou Ming's Foundation and Comprehension, making his comprehension of the Law of Force twice as effective.
Although he was still a long way from truly mastering it, just grasping a superficial understanding made his Foundation increasingly profound.
"Hoo…"
Zhou Ming slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, feeling the pure energy flowing through his Primordial Spirit and its increasingly solid form, a slight satisfaction in his heart.
However, while Zhou Ming was diligently Cultivating, oblivious to the outside world, the Primordial World had already become a scene of turmoil and widespread slaughter.
Outside Mount Buzhou, the vast Primordial World.
The Dragon Clan, Phoenix, and Qilin three clans were like three rising, brilliant suns, illuminating the entire Primordial World!
The Dragon Clan, led by Ancestral Dragon, had completely conquered the Four Seas, and billions of aquatic creatures all submitted.
The vast Dragon might swept across the Four Seas, and Luck surged and gathered like a tidal wave.
The Phoenix, with Primordial Phoenix as its venerable leader, commanded the skies, and thousands of flying beasts bowed in reverence.
Phoenix True Fire burned across the sky, and Luck transformed into seven-colored auspicious clouds, shrouding the Undying Volcano.
The Qilin Clan, with First Qilin treading the earth, commanded all beasts, and countless land beasts prostrated themselves, suppressing all directions.
Luck condensed into a heavy auspicious Qi, permeating the central land.
As more and more races were conquered and territories expanded, the Luck of the three clans snowballed, skyrocketing crazily!
The blessings of Luck, when reflected upon the clans, manifested as a rapid increase in overall strength.
Countless clan members Broke through their Realms, and Grand Unity Golden Immortals emerged endlessly.
And as the leaders of the three clans, Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and First Qilin gained unimaginable benefits!
Driven by the immense Luck, their Cultivation progressed rapidly, and in an extremely short period, they successively Broke through their Bottlenecks.
They stepped into that Realm revered by countless beings—Primordial Golden Immortal!
Becoming the pinnacle existences in the Primordial World, apart from those reclusive old monsters!
The birth of three Primordial Golden Immortals completely ignited the ambition of the three clans to dominate the world!
They clearly realized the immense benefits brought by Luck and understood that to advance further, or even to glimpse the legendary Hunyuan Dao.
They could only monopolize the Luck of the Primordial World and become the true protagonists of heaven and earth!
To contend for territory, Spiritual Veins, Innate Spiritual Roots, Heaven And Earth Treasure, and even to enslave other races, the conflicts between the three clans intensified.
Thus, the previously restrained frictions rapidly escalated into an unending, all-out war!
On the East Sea Coast, the Dragon Clan's navy and the Phoenix fought fiercely, the sea stained red, with countless feathers and scales scattered.
"Kill! Kill these scruffy birds!"
"Tear these long worms to shreds!"
In the central land of the Primordial World, the Qilin Clan fiercely clashed with the branch forces of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix, shattering mountains and rivers, and the earth groaned.
"Those who invade my territory shall die!"
"For the glory of the Qilin!"
The entire Primordial World was engulfed in war!
The once peaceful, tranquil, and Spiritual Qi-rich immortal mountains and blessed lands had now become bloody battlefields.
Countless beings wailed, and countless races were annihilated.
Weak races either chose to attach themselves to one of the three clans, becoming cannon fodder for the war, or were simply wiped out by the three clans to seize their Luck.
Slaughter!
Conquest!
Plunder!
Endless slaughter brought endless resentment, transforming into thick, unresolvable Calamity Evil Qi!
Calamity Qi permeated and enveloped the Primordial World.
Inside Pangu Hall.
Zhou Ming briefly drew a wisp of his mind from deep Cultivation, sensing the killing and resentment outside that had almost solidified.
He frowned deeply.
"The Dragon Han Calamity… as expected, they've gone mad with fighting."
"The three clans are really seeking death like crazy…"
Although he knew the historical trajectory, the horror of the Calamity still made his heart pound.
He furrowed his brow, his mind sinking into the dao source divine pearl, attempting to extend his perception outwards.
Through the protection of Pangu Hall, he vaguely "saw" the scene outside.
Although he couldn't see clearly, the earth-shattering shouts of battle, the violent energy fluctuations.
And the blood-colored Calamity clouds permeating heaven and earth, all indicated that the Dragon Han Calamity had entered its climax!
"Hiss… these guys are fighting too fiercely, aren't they?"
Zhou Ming gasped, his heart involuntarily beating faster.
Is this the horror of the Primordial World Calamity?
Primordial Golden Immortal mighty figures personally engaging in close combat, billions of living beings treated like grass!
He could even vaguely hear the roars of Ancestral Dragon, the cries of Primordial Phoenix, the angry bellows of First Qilin, and the desperate wails of countless dying beings!
Tragic! Too tragic!
This was simply a super meat grinder!
"Good thing… good thing I'm in Pangu Hall."
"However, the more intense the three clans' struggle, and the richer the Evil Qi, the more it actually 'aids' me in refining the Heaven Opening Evil Qi and tempering my Primordial Spirit?"
Of course, this "aid" was based on the premise that he could withstand the erosion of the Evil Qi.
"But I also need to speed up!"
If the Dragon Han Calamity was already like this, what about the Witch-Demon Calamity?
The future fate of the Witch Clan weighed heavily on his heart like a giant stone.
He had to increase his strength as quickly as possible, and transform as quickly as possible!
Not only for self-preservation, but also to find a way to resolve the Heaven Opening Evil Qi before his twelve convenient "younger siblings" were born, to carve out a different future for the Witch Clan!
"Stay low! Develop! Develop cautiously, don't make waves!"
Zhou Ming took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and clear all distracting thoughts.
What did the life-and-death struggle outside have to do with him?
His top priority now was to increase his strength, at all costs!
He closed his eyes again, his mind sinking into Cultivation.
The dao source divine pearl glowed, and the insights into the Law of Force flowed like a stream, gently passing through his Primordial Spirit.
Refining Evil Qi, strengthening the Primordial Spirit, comprehending the Law…
Zhou Ming was like the most devout ascetic, silently accumulating power within the beginner's protection zone of Pangu Hall.
The conclusion of the Dragon Han Calamity would usher in the era of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's emergence and the opening of Purple Cloud Palace.
By then, the pattern of the Primordial World would undergo another earth-shattering change.
And the Witch Clan would also step onto the stage of the Primordial World.
He had to be fully prepared before then!
