Chapter 134: Burning others, also burning yourself!

In the Primordial Wilderness, heaven and earth, myriad phenomena abound!

Heavenly and earthly qi condensed into a red bird flitting up and down, while earthly fire blazed out of the earth's veins, seeking to take the shape of birds.

Overseas islands, shaped by heavenly and earthly power, turned into bird shapes, while inland mountaintops became earth-and-stone birds poised to fly……

In short, it seems a deep bird-shaped brand has been stamped upon heaven and earth, and countless creations of heaven and earth involuntarily draw near to its form.

This is the special treatment afforded to an era-defining powerhouse, and also a celebration naturally bestowed upon him by heaven and earth.

It is a revelry, it is a ceremony.

At this moment, the myriad spirits' common ancestor, Jiao Ming, is the sole protagonist of heaven and earth!

The Primordial Wilderness, or rather Pangu, has forever etched upon itself this, his most proud 'son'……

【What crazy behavior!】

【After the final desolate, sorrowful dragon cry, the Ancestor Dragon's massive dragon body fell from the sky, helplessly crashing onto the Southern Wilderness!】

【But the Ancestor Dragon was forced back, yet your breakthrough could only be slowed……】

【Upon seeing that the alleged backstabber, Luohu, was now guarding your path, the Ancestor Dragon stared blankly, then angrily shouted: 'Despicable!'】

【You hardened your heart, abandoned the breakthrough, and instead went all-out in battle against the Ancestor Dragon.】

"Then what do you say we do!"

"Once we three have all broken through, no matter whether Jiao Ming actually succeeds in breaking through, he is doomed to die!"

【The Ancestor Dragon's dying spirit raged: 'Why exchange life for life? Isn't your breakthrough meant to let you live and rule the Primordial Wilderness? If you throw away your life, isn't that a life lived in vain?!'】

【By manipulating text, corresponding heavenly and earthly laws manifest—whether for attack or defense, with endless wonderful uses!】

The Ancestor Qilin's eyes were deep:

"Breaking through this realm essentially means refining a portion of heaven and earth; the Primordial Wilderness is vast and boundless, so he must at least refine one region of wilderness before he can truly break through, and this will take a long time……"

【No matter what, the Second Ancestor immediately engaged Hongjun and Luohu in battle; the clash of four peak Great Luo Golden Immortals instantly destroyed everything of the small volcano!】

"Never mind that old ox and horse; let's just slaughter each other—there might still be a chance."

【Your fighting style not only shocked the Second Ancestor, but also shocked Hongjun; yet he immediately grasped your intent, and after a brief hesitation, he gritted his teeth and fully sealed the Ancestor Phoenix, creating an opportunity for you and Luohu to slay the Ancestor Dragon!】

The Ancestor Dragon laughed heartily:

【The Golden Crow's true fire blazed fiercely, as if hearing crows' cries; you no longer feared self-injury, and in a desperate posture, you exchanged wounds with the Ancestor Dragon, life for life!】

【You also saw through the Third Ancestor's war-of-attrition plan, knowing that continuing like this is essentially a dead end; if dragged out, victory or defeat becomes uncertain……】

【At a numerical disadvantage, you seemed to fall into desperation once more; your original plan to easily crush the three ancestors after breaking through to Quasi-Sage has completely come to naught.】

"To oppose, with a gap of one major realm, head-on clash only leads to a dead end!"

The Ancestor Qilin's tactics were highly advantageous; hearing them, the two Ancestor Dragons' eyes lit up—this way, they could truly serve both their interests, and also buy time against Jiao Ming, who was about to break through.

But unexpectedly, the old ox and horse…… the Ancestor Qilin rolled his eyes, looking at these two teammates who were practically begging for death, and he suddenly felt weary:

"Things without operational awareness truly can't be led!"

"If you two want to die, go ahead and do it this way!"

"Holding back will really get you killed!"

【What backstabbing? This is clearly helping you achieve the Dao!】

【When the Ancestor Qilin finally realized something was wrong and rushed to aid, he could only manage to catch a glimpse of the Ancestor Dragon's miserable final state……】

"If we send someone to ambush him, we can effectively disrupt his breakthrough progress, giving others ample time to slaughter!"

Afterward, he urgently proposed to the Ancestor Phoenix:

【The Third Ancestor is no fool; you can't win a true crushing battle!】

The Ancestor Qilin explained as calmly as possible:

【Corpses strewn across the fields would be a blessing; more often, there are no remains at all, all erased by Great Luo methods, leaving only a faint true spirit that drifts, following natural affinity, toward the two ancestral houses……】

Smack!

The Ancestor Qilin slammed the table hard, his voice low:

"You two! The moment of life and death has arrived!"

【If you're held up, then once you fully break through, everything will finally settle……】

【The Ancestor Phoenix also manifested a five-colored true phoenix body, its entire form similarly flowing with five colors; the primordial five-element qi issued from its tail feathers, and it spewed the Southern Brightness Separation Fire that burns heaven and boils the seas; the five-element qi embraced the Southern Brightness Separation Fire, rushing straight toward Hongjun.】

【Thus the Ancestor Dragon simply steeled himself, ignoring Luohu's attack, and with his boundless dragon body, he lunged straight at you, who sat eyes closed amidst the ruins, refining heaven and earth.】

【To protect your breakthrough, the Great Luo peak cultivator, the elder Hongjun, spontaneously stepped forward to guard your path!】

【Since we cannot overwhelm with Quasi-Sage power, we will instead, with half-step Quasi-Sage cultivation, combine the forces of Hongjun and Luohu to three-against-two and slay the Second Ancestor!】

"Once we've slaughtered enough, then you two can continue to disturb him, letting me break through in peace; after I break through, I'll go duel him one-on-one, buying you time to break through……"

【The Ancestor Dragon was so shocked his soul scattered; he dared only to block the true fire with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, enduring a perilous ordeal!】

……

【At some certain epoch, the Ancestor Qilin, using Great Luo methods, slaughtered the dragon and phoenix clans, causing countless slaves to die miserably at his hands.】

The Ancestor Qilin continued:

【In this life, it has no chance to slaughter sentient beings again, no chance to break through to Quasi-Sage again, no chance to reach the Dao, and even no chance to again collect stamps from its young son, Huanglong the True Person……】

【But you, right now, are a madman! A madman who only wants to burn the three ancestors to death, and then burn himself to death!】

【Luohu then wielded the God-Slaying Spear, commanding the demonic aura forged from myriad spirits' grudges, and charged head-on into the azure-green giant dragon!】

The Ancestor Dragon's defenses were shattered outright, and he pointed at the Ancestor Qilin, cursing:

"If you die, you die—don't drag us down with you!"

"But……"

"Now Jiao Ming is about to break through; even if we immediately slaughter each other, we absolutely cannot break through faster than him!"

The other two also nodded in agreement, and so the plan was carried forward……

【While the Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Phoenix jointly assaulted the Small Volcano, attempting to disrupt your breakthrough process.】

The two dazed fellows only then realized, but anxiously said:

"Our three families' slave numbers are still too few; even if we slaughtered them all, we could at most break through to the next realm, falling short of attaining the Dao……"

【Forced to interrupt your breakthrough and face the Ancestor Dragon, under the impetus of half‑step quasi‑saint cultivation, the brilliance erupting from the Golden Crow True Fire far surpasses before, for a moment seeming able to rival the sun.】

【The Ancestor Dragon manifested its true form, an azure‑green dragon without beginning or end roaring to the heavens; thirty‑six multicolored objects flew up and down, accompanied by the innate Five Elements qi of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; myriad techniques and divine abilities, all manifested from the Five Elements, assailed the Demon Ancestor Rahu.】

With a single word, the Ancestor Dragon casually decided the life and death of billions of beings, as if they were merely weeds growing in the wild.

【Dragon scales scorched black, dragon whiskers burnt away, the azure‑green majestic dragon body burned beyond recognition, and specks of sinister demonic qi speckled its entire body!】

【Although Hongjun had previously been burned to death by the Ancestor Phoenix in a past life, that was merely due to his cultivation being suppressed; with equal cultivation, the future Dao Ancestor is in no way inferior to any ancient holy ancestor!】

"Surrender? Focus Ming will never accept it; he hates us so much he'd grind our bones to ashes and scatter them!"

The Ancestor Phoenix suddenly hesitated a bit:

【The Ancestor Phoenix also glanced at Rahu in astonishment, unable to help doubting your nature: it had thought you were a kind‑hearted weakling, never expecting you to also engage in such deceitful, fame‑stealing behavior……】

Qilin Cliff, the Three Illusory Deities.

The Ancestor Phoenix also thought this old ox‑horse was probably mad, with a blade at its throat yet still craving internal strife, about to readily accept the Ancestor Dragon's proposal.

"Anyway, mortal beings die and are reborn endlessly; we can simply wipe out a tribe once, then re‑educate enough slaves…… As long as Focus Ming dies, and we slaughter all his descendants, attaining the Dao is a foregone conclusion!"

The Ancestor Dragon said solemnly:

"We need to slaughter each other immediately, showing no mercy!"

【Together, die!!!】

【Only saw Hongjun summon a jade tablet, its surface seemingly bearing thousands of divine characters, each corresponding to a heavenly‑earthly law; those thousands of characters flickered faintly, as if forming a profound treatise……】

"No problem!"

【The Two Ancestors, seeing that they could not quickly overcome Hongjun and Rahu, felt anxious: they had not come here to fight Hongjun and Rahu, but to disturb your breakthrough—that is the real purpose.】

【Earth‑vein magma surged forth chaotically, and the heavenly‑earthly spiritual qi also showed signs of carnage!】

The Ancestor Qilin unexpectedly refused their proposal, causing the Ancestor Phoenix and Ancestor Dragon to instantly bristle with rage!

"Old ox‑horse! What time is this, and you still have ulterior motives?!"

"Attaining the Dao isn't urgent; the future is long, and opportunities abound!"

【Meanwhile, the required number of Rahu having been slain were recalled by Hongjun, and two peak Great Luo experts jointly confronted the attacking Two Ancestors!】

【The battle raged on without cease.】

Focus Ming, this sudden‑appearing anomaly, has from the start undermined the Three Ancestors' foundation for attaining the Dao, and now directly threatens their very lives—naturally we can no longer hold back.

But……

"We'll take turns—this time you two go disturb and harass, while I slaughter the Dragon and Phoenix clans' slaves; next time it'll be me and the Ancestor Phoenix doing the disturbance, letting the Ancestor Dragon slaughter my slaves!"

【"Then let's just kill them outright!"】

"No!"

"Disturb him!"

【The Three Ancestors thought their wheel‑formation tactic was brilliant, but forgot it would instead give you an opportunity; the Ancestor Qilin is busy slaughtering the Dragon‑Phoenix slaves and thus won't come……】

The Ancestor Phoenix's expression also turned grim:

"The situation has reached the most critical point; whoever harbors even a shred of selfishness will surely die at our hands!"

"What do we do?"

【Facing your desperate fighting style, with Rahu's support, the Ancestor Dragon could only roar in frustration, yet had no recourse……】

【The Primordial Three Clans' Dragon Clan elder, father of the five‑direction, five‑colored true dragons, renowned primordial harem king, the very origin of all dragonkind—Ancestor Dragon, has fallen!】
