Kunlun Mountain, within the Eastern Forest.

As an isolated secret realm, the Celestial Emperor’s Capital was supposed to be invisible and traceless.

But ever since "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky," resounding booms have been echoing from this Kunlun Mountain, reflecting parts of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital.

At first, the creatures in the mountains thought it was just thunder.

But as the sound became more frequent and no source could be identified.

An unnamed panic began to spread among the creatures, and some of the more intelligent spirit monsters even started to flee.

Events like this, typically caused by the gods, usually spell disaster.

Whether it be battles between gods or the sudden whim of a powerful god, it poses a huge crisis for the beings living here.

Thus, in just a few short years, a large number of beasts and spirit monsters opted to migrate.

As the guardians of the "Extreme West Ruins," the Changyang Tribe could hardly ignore such an obvious anomaly.

For a long time, witches from the Changyang Tribe have frequently appeared near the Kunlun Mountain Range, preventing the gods of Kunlun Mountain from slipping into the Great Xia.

This included the three-headed Divine Bird—Li Zhu.

Due to its high latitude, high altitude, and unique environment, Kunlun Mountain is almost uninhabited by humans.

Therefore, the gods born from Kunlun Mountain are mostly beast-formed barbarian gods.

Whether they are born innately or transformed from wild beasts, they have little to do with humans.

Thus, Kunlun Mountain has maintained an extremely primitive state of balance among the gods, much like the uncivilized Hundred Lands Mountain Range a thousand years ago.

"Those damned Changyang people!"

"They don’t even understand the gravity of the situation!"

"We must find a way to leave here as soon as possible!"

...

The three heads exchanged curses continuously; the crimson Li Zhu had never been this agitated.

Unlike the typical Kunlun gods, Li Zhu had once seen the source of this anomaly firsthand, so he knew that today’s upheaval did not originate from Kunlun Mountain.

If it did not come from Kunlun Mountain, then one could only guess where this upheaval originated.

"If necessary, why don’t we just forcibly break out?"

"There is only one Xingtian from the Changyang Mountain who can fight; if we seize the opportunity, we might still break through!"

"No, if we anger him, we’re utterly doomed!"

The three heads continued their discussion, with Li Zhu unwilling to gamble on that success rate.

The Xingtian Clan is truly a god of slaughter; it would take just one axe to chop off his three heads.

"How about we tell them what we saw before?"

"Given the useful information we provide, they might let us go?"

When the middle head suggested this, the two heads on the left and right both looked toward him in unison.

"Do you think those brutes are trustworthy?"

"Or do you think they are unaware of the source of this upheaval?"

The head on the right pecked him in frustration and then spoke angrily.

"If worse comes to worst, let’s head south!"

"The south is not Changyang Mountain’s territory, so those brutes can’t stop us even if they wanted to."

Upon hearing the suggestion from the leftmost head, the remaining two heads fell silent simultaneously.

The reason Li Zhu survived the catastrophe of "Wu Yi Shoots the Sky" back then was simply that his own strength was weak and didn’t catch Wu Yi’s attention.

Additionally, Li Zhu’s three heads allowed him to adapt, each taking care of different matters, barely enduring the present turmoil of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Even so, Li Zhu’s strength was greatly diminished, unable to handle even a group of mortals.

To continue heading south under such circumstances,

The odds of dying on the road are far greater than successfully fleeing.

"It’s said that besides the Great Xia, there is a place called ’Hundred Lands Mountain Range’ in the south that maintains the original balance of Heaven and Earth..."

"If we reach the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, maybe we can survive."

The middle head spoke again, though his words were clearly lacking in confidence.

Compared to the nearby Great Xia, whether the distant Hundred Lands Mountain Range even exists remains unknown.

"Do we even have any other choice?"

The head on the right spoke again, this time with a tone full of frustration.

As he said, Li Zhu actually had no other options left now.

At present, the thundering booms within Kunlun Mountain are growing more frequent, and the passage to the Great Xia is blocked by the Changyang Tribe.

Taking a gamble might offer a glimmer of hope; without gambling, death is certain.

Boom!

At this moment, yet another thunderous boom reverberated across Kunlun Mountain.

This time the noise far exceeded any prior occurrence, as if the sky itself was collapsing.

As Li Zhu raised his head to gaze upon the sky.

A familiar scene appeared before their eyes once more.

Suddenly, a massive rift appeared in the sky, and a black-and-white mottled vicious hound was howling in anger.

In an instant, the sun in the sky was obscured, and endless darkness enveloped the whole of Kunlun Mountain.

The vicious hound seemed to want to leap from the rift, but was forcibly dragged back by a huge, decaying hand.

Boom!

The frequent thunderous booms echoing from Kunlun Mountain were the aftershocks of the vicious hound and the giant hand clashing.

Even across the barrier of worlds, Li Zhu could clearly see the tangible shockwaves with the naked eye.

"Owooo!"

Seeing himself about to be dragged back into the void once more.

The vicious hound, or rather the Celestial Erosion Monarch, suddenly split into two; the black Celestial Erosion Monarch continued wrestling with the arm.

The white Celestial Erosion Monarch, clutching a blood-red jewel, seized the opportunity to dash toward the living world.

In a flash, countless eyes suddenly grew from the decaying flesh on that arm.

The eyes disclosed their hatred and malice, following the white Celestial Erosion Monarch into reality.

Li Zhu was the first to suffer, letting out three cries of anguish.

Feeling his body disintegrating in ways he could not comprehend.

As Li Zhu appeared about to split into three, each head controlling a part of the body, and thus reach the brink of death.

The white Celestial Erosion Monarch evidently witnessed this scene as well, hesitating momentarily.

No, the white Celestial Erosion Monarch saw more than just Li Zhu.

He saw the other beings of Kunlun transforming, observed the lives touched by this battle.

"This damned Path of Yin and Yang! This cursed separation of good and evil!"

As the embodiment of the Celestial Erosion Monarch’s kind side, the white Celestial Erosion Monarch could not bear to see the inhabitants of Kunlun suffer such disaster because of him.

So, after only a brief hesitation,

The white Celestial Erosion Monarch abandoned his precious escape opportunity, turning back to once again confront that enormous arm with the black Celestial Erosion Monarch.

Boom!

In an instant, another thunderous boom echoed out.

However, this time, in addition to the aftermath of the battle, the voice of the white Celestial Erosion Monarch resonated in the ears of all creatures.

"If you want to survive, go find the Celestial Being of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range!"
