On the Tianxuan Continent, the flames of war were rising, and the smoke of battle filled the air. The Primordial races, led by factions like the Azure Sky Divine Mountain, the Demon Spirit Divine Mountain, and the Southern Meteorite Divine Mountain, emerged from the Central Forbidden Zone, bloodwashing all in their path. Even a supreme human sect like the Dongxuan Dao Sect was annihilated overnight. For a time, the entire human race on the Tianxuan Continent was filled with grief and fear, as if they had become fish on a chopping block. And indeed, wherever the Primordial Divine Mountains passed, no grass grew. All human males were slaughtered, while the females were demoted to slaves. This led many human cultivators to desperately search for a pillar of support. And the Nalan Clan was undoubtedly the faction that people could rely on the most. After all, the Nalan Clan was connected to the Divine Child of an Immortal Domain's Desolate Ancient noble family. No matter how arrogant the Primordial Divine Mountains were, they should show some apprehension when facing someone from an Immortal Domain's Desolate Ancient noble family, right?
Just as many humans were thinking this, the situation turned out to be far beyond their expectations. The Azure Sky Divine Mountain, the Demon Spirit Divine Mountain, the Southern Meteorite Divine Mountain, and other factions all, by common consent, began to march towards the Nalan Clan's territory. And from the looks of it, they didn't seem to have the slightest bit of apprehension. This caused many human cultivators to panic. Could it be that the Primordial Divine Mountains were not even wary of the successor of an Immortal Domain's immortal faction? By this time, many human factions had already gathered at the Ancient Spiritual Mountain where the Nalan Clan was located. And after the Nalan Clan received this news, their mood also became heavy. The situation they least wanted to see had still occurred. "It seems that the Primordial Divine Mountains are coming for our Nalan Clan. By pressing us, they are dealing with the hardest nail." In the main hall of the Nalan Clan, Nalan Zhan sighed deeply. Right now, the Nalan Clan was indeed the most prominent family on the Tianxuan Continent. Even the Lower Realm's Purple Mansion Holy Land followed the Nalan Clan's lead. However, even with the Nalan Clan, plus the Purple Mansion Holy Land, plus the many human factions that had gathered these past few days, even if they banded together, it would still be an extremely difficult matter to contend with the Primordial Divine Mountains. Each lineage of the Primordial Divine Mountains was extremely powerful, with several Saints presiding over them. The total number of Saints from all the Primordial Divine Mountains combined would definitely reach double digits. On the human side, up to now, the number of Saints had not broken ten. A major reason for this was that the attack from the Primordial Divine Mountains was too sudden. Some human Saints, and even Quasi-Saints, were besieged and killed by the Primordial Divine Mountains without any warning, ultimately perishing with regret. Therefore, if this great battle were to occur, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Nalan Clan's side.
Just as the situation on the Tianxuan Continent became grim, the situation on the Starfall Continent had gradually stabilized. After the storm in the Dark Domain passed, the entire Starfall Continent became completely peaceful. Jun Xiaoyao also handed over the various resources he had plundered from the Star Palace treasure trove to the Xuantian Sect, further strengthening its foundation and strength. However, the Xuantian Sect Master informed Jun Xiaoyao of a piece of news. On the Hidden Dragon Continent, news had come from the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty that the Criminal Clans were rising up everywhere, and turmoil had erupted. Fortunately, the foundation of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty was the strongest among the five follower factions, so there wouldn't be a major crisis in the short term. But if things dragged on, it was hard to say what accidents and changes might occur. "Understood. After I return to the Tianxuan Continent to resolve a small matter, I will go to the Hidden Dragon Continent," Jun Xiaoyao said. The "small matter" he referred to was, naturally, harvesting the leek that was Lin Feng. After the matters on the Starfall Continent were completely concluded, Jun Xiaoyao took the Nine-Headed Lion, Yi Yu, Su Ziqiong, and Ancestor Dongxuan with his two companions to the cross-realm teleportation array. Relying on the cross-realm teleportation array, Jun Xiaoyao and the others once again returned to the Tianxuan Continent. They journeyed from the Endless Sea and stepped onto the shore. The moment Jun Xiaoyao set foot on the continent, a dark light flashed in the depths of his eyes. "Something's not right," Jun Xiaoyao murmured. "Master, what's wrong?" Su Ziqiong asked from the side. "There's the smell of smoke in the wind," Jun Xiaoyao said. Afterward, they passed by some cities and sect territories, only to find that they had all been reduced to ruins. "What on earth happened here?" Ancestor Dongxuan and the others were also clueless. Especially Ancestor Dongxuan; the Tianxuan Continent was his hometown. Now that his hometown had become like this, it made him somewhat furious. Before long, Yi Yu found a surviving cultivator. The moment that cultivator saw Jun Xiaoyao and the others, his face showed astonishment, and he stammered, "C-could it be... the Jun Clan's Divine Child?" "Mm, what exactly happened?" Jun Xiaoyao asked. Hearing Jun Xiaoyao confirm his identity, the cultivator suddenly wept with joy and began to cry loudly. "They're dead! My senior brothers and sisters from my sect, and my master, they're all dead!" the cultivator cried. "Explain things clearly," Jun Xiaoyao said. Afterward, this cultivator told Jun Xiaoyao about all the turmoil that had occurred on the Tianxuan Continent recently. "So that's how it is. The Central Forbidden Zone, the Primordial Divine Mountains," Jun Xiaoyao murmured. "Hateful, that group of Primordial creatures from the Central Forbidden Zone has gone too far!" Ancestor Dongxuan was so angry his face turned red. Especially when he heard the news of the Dongxuan Dao Sect's destruction, Ancestor Dongxuan gritted his teeth so hard they made a clicking sound, wishing he could directly annihilate that group of Primordial creatures. "Let's go to the Nalan Clan," Jun Xiaoyao's face, in contrast, was extremely calm, without any ripples. The devastation of these Lower Realm beings, the wars and turmoil, were like two nests of ants fighting in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes. But no matter what, Jun Xiaoyao was still a member of the human race. And the Dongxuan Dao Sect had also acted on his orders to annihilate the Lin Clan. So, Jun Xiaoyao couldn't just ignore it. "So Lin Feng has colluded with the Primordial creatures this time. He has some fortune, but what a pity..." Jun Xiaoyao shook his head lightly. Let alone a Primordial Royal Clan from the Lower Realm, even if a Primordial Imperial Clan came, they wouldn't be able to protect Lin Feng. Jun Xiaoyao and the others rushed towards the Nalan Clan at extreme speed. At this moment, the Nalan Clan had entered a state of full-scale battle readiness. In the distance, a vast cloud of smoke and dust was rising. The earth was vibrating, trembling like the surface of a drum. "They... they're here!" Within the Ancient Spiritual Mountain, some human cultivators cried out. On the distant horizon, a dark, oppressive tide surged over. Upon closer inspection, they were, shockingly, one after another, Primordial creatures. And this was not just one faction. The Azure Sky Divine Mountain, the Demon Spirit Divine Mountain, the Southern Meteorite Divine Mountain, the Li Fire Divine Mountain... Lineages from various Primordial Divine Mountains were all among them, converging into a world-destroying army, sweeping away all enemies. Nalan Zhan, the Dongxuan Sect Master, and other human leaders also appeared. Some human Saints also appeared one after another. However, their numbers were relatively small, and each of them had an extremely grave expression on their face. Nalan Ruoxi also appeared. Her exquisite, pretty face showed not a trace of fear, but a hint of determination. She didn't want Jun Xiaoyao to look down on her and think she was a weak woman.
