Chapter 7: The Three Tribes' Great War, Only Picking Up the Benefits

  In the blink of an eye, Honghuang had traversed tens of thousands of years once again.

  Now, among the three major forces of the Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, and Divine Dragon Clan in the Desolate Expanse, there are constant small-scale conflicts and struggles for dominance. Unfortunately, the people of the Desolate Expanse have high magical powers but shallow moral character, lacking a deep understanding of the workings of heaven and unaware of their own foolishness. Without the protection of good deeds, their luck is insufficient, and they will ultimately be reduced to nothing after committing endless slaughter. Fortunately, most of these living beings do not cultivate powerful divine abilities or have limited magical techniques, making them less effective in large-scale battles. Many conflicts rely on instinct alone, with warriors simply using brute force, leaving the Desolate Expanse in a state of chaos but without destroying its foundation.

  Li Feng's cultivation had reached the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, and he left the mountain valley to arrive at the vast wilderness. Seeing the blood rain and stench on the land, countless creatures were dead or injured, and many heavenly treasures were destroyed in the wars. He couldn't help but curse loudly: "Look at you bunch of good-for-nothings! You've turned my treasure into this ghostly state! Don't you know that this is mine?" Li Feng shamelessly scolded, "Alas, these beasts have no conscience! It seems that the task of saving the world's sentient beings has fallen on me! My merits are boundless!"

  But Li Feng, after leaving the valley, used the nine corpses of the divine dragons he had "picked up" along with some refining materials he had collected over the years and some damaged pre-heavenly spiritual treasures left behind by the Three Clans' Great War to create a post-heavenly artifact called the Divine Dragon Tower. This tower can defend, store objects, and also contains the Zhou Tian Star Battle Array, which can trap people.

  The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array was something he comprehended in the mountains and valleys. During his cultivation in the mountains and valleys, he meditated on the changes and movements of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou, combining it with the information from the Pangu Yuan Shen, finally comprehending the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array. This is actually the strongest array of the demon tribe, comparable to the Twelve Heavenly God Killing Arrays of the witch tribe.

  After comprehending the formation method, Li Feng had been YYing for many days. The Hou Tu hadn't taken shape yet, and he didn't dare to go out. But now it's different, with this top-grade array, protecting the Hou Tu is a piece of cake. That's why he appeared here. Moreover, he was thinking that in the future, he could add some merit to it, who knows, maybe it would become a precious treasure of acquired merit.

  "TMD, others who cross over get to have top-notch pre-heavenly spiritual treasures like the Qian Kun Ding and whatnot for storage, but look at me, I still have to be self-sufficient. Is it easy being me? It's really not comparable! Li Feng has been out for a few hundred years too and has seen quite a number of pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, unfortunately, they're all incomplete, most of them were damaged during the Three Clans' Great War and then collected by him."

  Originally, Pangu's primordial spirit was divided into three parts, each with its own strengths. Laozi excelled at alchemy and his Nine-Turn Golden Elixir swept across the vast expanse of the universe, unparalleled in its uniqueness; Yuanshi Tianzun excelled at artifact refinement, and the Heaven-Defying Seal was his magnum opus, having also taught Cloud Middle Child, a notorious thief and lunatic artifact refiner. As for Tongtian, Li Feng's forte lay in array formations - the likes of the Ten Perfection Array, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, and the Myriad Immortal Array were all devastating during the era of sealing gods. Not to mention the Sword Array of Exterminating Gods bestowed by Hongjun Daozu.

  But Li Feng has been living a comfortable life in the last few years, and it can be said that he is good at taking advantage of opportunities. Wherever there is a fight, his figure will appear, but only after others have finished fighting. If he can win, he will go up and destroy the enemy's corpse, if not, he can only look at the face of the victor and see if they can spare him some soup to drink, with an expression that says "I'm really afraid of death".

  After Pangu opened the sky, the chaotic air transformed into light and ethereal air, floating upwards to become heaven, while the heavy and turbid air sank downwards to become earth. Later, it transformed into the four major elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, as well as the five phases of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and various spiritual energies. With spiritual energy comes the origin. If the origin of spiritual energy obtains the heavenly mechanism, then it can give birth to spiritual wisdom and attain enlightenment through physical form. For example, the Ancestral Venerable of the Azure Sky was the origin of the pre-heavenly light and ethereal air that attained enlightenment.

  The protagonist of the first quantification of the universe, however, is the origin of the primordial chaotic air that has attained the Tao, with a talent that surpasses the five spirits of the primordial. After transformation, he is named Luo Hou, and as the main character of the quantification, he naturally receives the favor of the Heavenly Way, and his cultivation progresses extremely quickly.

  The primordial born spirits, originating from Pangu, have infinite potential. Even under the intentional or unintentional suppression of the Heavenly Way, countless people still manage to catch a glimpse of the Great Luo Gate. However, the Heavenly Way has its own destiny, and this great war is both a great calamity for the three tribes and a test and cleansing of the primordial born spirits by the Heavenly Way.

  If one were to keep the mountain gate tightly closed and remain in hiding, there might still be a chance to escape, but during the great calamity, the heavenly mechanism is obscure, and human hearts are prone to change. One moment of carelessness could lead to being deeply trapped in the calamity.

  Luoying responded to the heavenly way, practicing the way of killing and cutting, and achieved the ten places of transformation. He also obtained the top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, the Four Swords of Exterminating Immortals, and the extreme product pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, the Knife of Assassinating Gods, Tianmo Tower. His divine powers were vast and his magical strength was high. Under him were eight great demon beasts: Rizun, Wanghu, Shangyan, Mengxiao, Jinyu, Fenyuan, Cuifeng, and Jiaoying. These eight great demon beasts, although they could not control the law of treasures, were born with divine powers and were naturally cruel and cunning. In the vast wilderness, except for the three clans of dragons, qilins, and phoenixes, only a few great divine power holders were not harmed by them. They rampaged through the vast wilderness for tens of thousands of years before being subdued by Luoying.

  Although the Shenlong, Qilin and Fenghuang clans had dozens of Daluo Golden Immortals in their later stages, over a hundred in their middle stages, and many more powerful experts beyond count, not to mention that there were countless scattered immortal cultivators in the Eastern Realm, whose actual strength far surpassed that of Luoyu's Western Realm.

  Luoyu's own strength is extremely powerful, and he also has the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Four Swords of Extermination. He can set up the strongest killing array in the Primordial Chaos, the Sword Array of Extermination. Even a saint would need four saints to break this formation. Under Luoyu's arrangement, who is comparable to a quasi-saint, and with not many top experts among the three tribes of the Primordial Chaos, Luoyu alone can resist more than a dozen late-stage Golden Immortal experts; his eight great demon beasts can also fight against Golden Immortals. Luoyu has a secret technique that can confuse people's minds. He first instigates discord and suspicion among the three tribes of the Primordial Chaos, causing them to mutually slaughter each other, greatly weakening their strength. Furthermore, he can possess others' bodies and carry out stealthy assassinations.

  As Luo's instigation continued, the three tribes' war raged on, with heavy losses among the masters, but the contradictions between them could no longer be reconciled, so they all gritted their teeth and persisted.

  At this time, Luo Yu also slowly began to prepare for war against the three clans, planning to unify Hongyuan and borrow the entire Hongyuan's aura to prove his way. Moreover, Luo Yu gradually discovered that his cultivation had signs of a breakthrough, which made him ecstatic. He didn't know how many tens of thousands of years he had been stuck in this realm, so he secretly returned to the West for cultivation. In his heart, he knew that the day he left his seclusion would be the day he went to war with the three clans.

  Li Feng also understood that the three tribes were about to be completely finished, and what was left was probably just Hong Jun Lao Zu and a few other pre-heavenly demon gods of the three tribes fighting each other to death, and then he would start contacting them and join forces with them to resist the Western Demon Ancestor Luo Hui.

  Their life and death are none of my business, I just want to take advantage. Now my cultivation has reached the mid-to-late stage of Mahayana Golden Immortal, hoping to make further progress after the calamity. Remember when Zi Xuan Palace first opened, many powerful beings hadn't even become quasi-saints yet, and I was already a late-stage Mahayana Golden Immortal, which should be considered top-notch. Hehehe... being low-key is the way of the king.

  At this time, Li Feng was in a large mountain, which was relatively hidden, so every time he "picked up things", he would come here to repair. However, he started YY again, his harvest was not bad, although there were no complete magic treasures, but looking at the small mountain-like corpses in the Shenlong Tower, broken Lingbao and many refining materials, Li Feng was still overjoyed, laughing so hard that his mouth cramped. But thinking of Xiantian Lingbao, he was still depressed.

  "No big deal, I still have the Hunyuan Bell as my ultimate weapon. As for the original... thing, it's probably still empty-handed now. I'm still quite wealthy." Li Feng comforted himself. "Besides, my spiritual treasure can still run away, can't it? Let Hongjun old man keep it for a few more days, it'll eventually return to my arms anyway." Li Feng declared loudly and confidently.

  At this time, the Desolate World was filled with killing intent due to the constant wars between the three tribes. Many small demons were affected by the killing intent and lost their sanity, attacking anyone they saw. The battles in the Desolate World never ceased, and the smaller skirmishes had never stopped either.

  On this day, Li Feng had just finished picking things up and returned to the mountain to sort them out. Suddenly, a sound came from the western extreme, "Today I am Luo Hu, in the land of the west, establish a sect, named Demon Sect, with the sword array of Zhuxian to suppress the demon sect's aura."

  Luoyin had already broken through to the quasi-saint level, preparing to completely sever ties with the three clans and start vying for dominance in the Hongyuan. Upon hearing Luoyin's declaration, Li Feng thought to himself "Today, Luoyin has established the Demon Sect in the West, which means the quantitative calamity has appeared, and the true great war in the Hongyuan has begun. I think it's better for me to prioritize survival, blend into the army and reap some benefits." With that, Li Feng headed out of the mountain.
