When the Lich Cataclysm broke out

Longevity Mountain is a blessed land, and the Wuzhuang Temple is surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds.

Kunpeng sat cross-legged, while Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were on the other side of the banquet. The two sides had stopped fighting at some point.

A scroll of time and space fluttered, and within its fragments lay scenes of a great battle, where the ancestor of demon immortals fought against the ancestor of earth immortals.

Evenly matched

They are evenly matched.

Hongyun looked at the vast wilderness and said, "This time, we are harvesting innate beings, which happens to be the Wu and Yao races."

Innate ferocious beasts

Innate Gods and Demons

Innate beings

The mainstream beings that were born at the beginning of the creation of the world have all been harvested. The Heavenly Dao of the primordial world is high and far-reaching, but the beings of the primordial world are becoming weaker and weaker.

The will of Heaven is like a knife; the primordial, degenerate age is even more cruel.

Zhen Yuanzi sighed, "The majority of beings are born after birth, and they have no power to resist the will of Heaven."

Creatures born after birth have limited lifespans and are short-lived species.

Without eternal lifespan, there would be no corresponding accumulation, let alone the possibility of comparing the history of the compiled versions.

If you don't know what Heaven is doing, you won't know what mistakes Heaven has made. Life and death are determined by fate, and you are not free to choose.

Pangu's divinity, the demonic nature of the Chaos God, and the inherent nature of living beings are constantly being exploited.

It's truly laughable that the Heavenly Dao needs the support of all living beings; the base of the Heavenly Dao True Saint is supported by all the spirits of the primordial world!

Kunpeng, drinking his wine, couldn't help but retort upon hearing this: "Heh, since you know the true nature of the Lich Calamity, why do you still help the Heavenly Dao?"

Hongyun sighed upon hearing this: "Alas, there's nothing I can do. If I don't stand with the Heavenly Dao, I'll be punished. My good fortune is in jeopardy; I may have to repay my karmic debts at any moment, and even settle accounts with the Heavenly Dao."

"Tch, Hongyun, there's no point in just compromising. If I were you, I would directly rely on the Great Dao of Fortune to crash into the Heavenly Dao, and I'd take everyone down with me even if it meant my death."

Hongyun Daxian remained silent, offering no rebuttal to Kunpeng's words.

He was blessed with great fortune, his life of cultivation was smooth, and he once worked in perfect harmony with the Way of Heaven.

But every gift comes with a price, and by the time Hongyun realized it, it was too late to escape.

Heaven manipulates destiny, accumulating many bad debts, which will eventually be transferred to the heavens.

If you can't repay your debts, then you can only pay with your life.

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and looked at the great battle in the primordial world, sighing, "Alas, the foundation of my enlightenment lies in the Earth Immortal realm, and there are many conflicts between Earth Immortals and the Heavenly Court."

Kunpeng said calmly, "All the Dao Fruits of Earth Immortals are the Dao Fruits of your Earth Immortal Ancestor. This approach is very similar to the Heavenly Dao. You've also learned to eat people!"

"Don't put it so harshly, I'm just trying to survive."

Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, founded the Earth Immortal system.

For a celestial immortal to achieve enlightenment, a primordial blessed land is needed as the foundation for cultivation, but there are only so many primordial blessed lands.

The Heavenly Court needs blessed lands, and the Underworld also needs blessed lands; this is an irreconcilable contradiction.

All the Earth Immortals believed that the Heavenly Court and the Underworld had endless resources, so why should they compete with the Earth Immortals for blessed lands?

Resentment and hatred continued to accumulate.

Kunpeng couldn't help but complain: "Celestial immortals need grotto-heavens, terrestrial immortals need blessed lands, gods need faith, human immortals need rare and precious materials, and ghost immortals need yin veins. The Heavenly Court and the Underworld occupy the most resources, so they have become the target of everyone's criticism."

Hongyun pondered, "If the Heavenly Court and the Underworld were fair enough, they would allow all the immortals to join. Unfortunately, you are not fair."

"The witch clan values ​​bloodlines, while the demon clan focuses on ideals, but these have changed over the years."

The Golden Crow Clan, Jade Rabbit Clan, Jade Toad Clan, and others are increasingly occupying resources.

The demon race has a strict hierarchy and numerous mountain strongholds, making it increasingly difficult for new demons to advance.

The Heavenly Court still offers some pathways to advancement, but the Witch Clan doesn't give them any chance at all. Without Witch Clan blood, they're just peripheral members of the Underworld.

The merit is that of the Wu tribe, and the bone is that of a foreign tribe.

Not to mention the ghost soldiers and generals from other races, even the witch people are discriminated against, making the problems in the underworld even more serious.

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng sighed and said, "Alas, the demon race was founded on ideals, and its prosperity was due to the oppression of gods and demons. Now that the demon race holds power over the primordial world, it has forgotten its original aspirations and has become a new kind of god and demon."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi laughed and scolded, "What, are you disappointed, Demon Master?"

"I wouldn't say disappointed, I'm just a little down."

"The god-slayer becomes a new god, the dragon-slaying hero transforms into a dragon; fate is truly cruel."

"True saints need the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao needs the support of all things and beings in the primordial world. This is the core contradiction."

Emperor Jun wields power on the Great Dao, relying on the Heavenly Court to control the rise and fall of the primordial world.

The ancestor of Earthly Immortals needs to condense Earthly Immortal Dao Fruits one by one, and the ancestor of Celestial Immortals is similar.

But compared to the Heavenly Dao, even the Immortal Ancestor is but a small fry compared to a great fry!

Every harvest is a great calamity.

He stirred up conflict among all living beings in the primordial world, triggered a terrifying war, and in the end, the Heavenly Dao reaped everything.

Hongyun said self-deprecatingly, "We know perfectly well that everything is arranged by the True Saint of Heaven, yet we can never stop the war!"

Zhen Yuanzi coldly said, "Those below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level are bewitched, their minds are lost, and they slaughter each other, doing the work for the Heavenly Dao."

Kunpeng chuckled strangely, "Hehehe, we can overlook the changes in the primordial world, after all, we have already severed our three corpses. Unless a true saint of the Heavenly Dao targets us, we can be considered immune to eternal damnation."

The demon master tried to persuade the ancestor of the earth immortals.

Zhen Yuanzi sneered without saying a word. His background was very high, so he must be one of the delicacies of the Heavenly Dao.

The ancestor of earth immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, was originally a spiritual root, which was the ginseng fruit tree. Now, the ginseng fruit tree is just the transformation of Zhen Yuanzi's three corpses.

Hongyun strongly disliked the demon master's suggestion. Kunpeng was a naturally born being who rose to power, and its foundation was far inferior to that of its peers.

The Heavenly Dao feeds in an orderly manner; Hongyun precedes Zhenyuanzi, and Zhenyuanzi precedes Kunpeng.

The Great Calamity at its Peak

The Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and the Immortal Path stand in a tripartite balance.

Zhen Yuanzi asked doubtfully, "This time, Heaven's appetite is quite large. Hopefully, after devouring the Wu and Yao races, it will be quiet for a while!"

Kunpeng said with a hint of sarcasm, "The innate qualities of beings are superior to those of beings born later in life. If the Wu and Yao races are destroyed, the newly born Earth Immortals will inevitably be cut in half at the waist, legs, and knees."

The Ancestor of Earthly Immortals said calmly, "It's useless for you to talk to me. I just want to protect myself."

"Heh, I'm just trying to protect myself."

"Kunpeng, you are a demon master, can you really abandon the demon race?"

"Hongyun, it's true I'm a demon master, but I also need to live! The eight Heavenly Dao True Saints are eyeing us covetously, and a future True Saint is about to unleash his fury and cripple the Lich King. This trend is simply too difficult to resist!"

The lich's situation is dire; he can hardly protect himself.

Above them, the true saints were watching with covetous eyes, while in the middle, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others were adding fuel to the fire.

They were surrounded by the witch clan and the demon clan.

The liches can maintain the status quo by joining forces, but once the liches clash, everything will be beyond repair.

What a tragedy!

Zhen Yuanzi analyzed carefully: "The demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation, the witch race's Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Formation, and the Heavenly Court and the Underworld just happened to perish together. The secret of Heaven is obvious; at the very least, the witch and demon races should be made to suffer heavy losses."

After pondering for a moment, Hongyun asked, "Kunpeng, you are a Demon Emperor and a Demon Master. How could you possibly survive in the eye of the storm of the Lich Calamity?"

Kunpeng said lazily, "That's why I came to find you!"

"There's no saving you. Just wait to die."

"We can barely protect ourselves, how can we possibly protect you?"

"Hongyun, you cultivate the Great Dao of Fortune, so a glimmer of hope will naturally favor you. Zhen Yuanzi, you also have great merit, so your chances of survival are very high."

"It's precisely because of our conditions that we can't join forces with you. We'd be at a huge loss if you tricked us to death."

"Alas, I am a respectable monk; it is the rumors that have damaged my image!"
