Uninvited guests arrived on the Sun Star.
Hongjun, Ancestor Yin Yang, and Ancestor Qiankun came to the Sun Star together, the three Quasi-Saints remaining vigilant.
A dazzling golden Dragon Head Staff appeared in Hongjun's hand. It was a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Ancestor Yin Yang held a precious pearl known as the Sun and Moon Pearl. It contained the Essence of Sun and Moon and embodied innate creation.
Ancestor Qiankun, on the other hand, appeared empty-handed, yet three Innate Spiritual Treasures radiated divine light within his sea of consciousness: the Qiankun Cauldron, the Qiankun Diagram, and the Qiankun Ruler.
Not long after Hongjun and the other two set foot on the Sun Star, Ancestor Qiongtian, Ancestor Xuantian, and others also arrived.
A mass of demonic qi darted through the void.
Rahu remained extremely vigilant.
After painstaking calculations for several months, Rahu finally learned that Ancestor Cang Tian had fallen on the Sun Star. Thus, he spread the news.
Curiosity drove many great powers to the Sun Star.
Meanwhile, Rahu concealed himself and waited for the right opportunity.
One had to maintain reverence toward an unknown force capable of erasing a Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
Yet the great powers found nothing on the Sun Star.
Suddenly, vast heavenly might manifested upon the Sun Star.
Every living being on the Sun Star could sense that heavenly might.
For a moment, the primordial spirits of Hongjun and the others all trembled.
Was this a warning from Heavenly Dao?
Would continuing their search bring about earth-shattering consequences?
Even Hongjun's Dao heart became unsteady, filled with shock, confusion, and curiosity.
Ancestor Yin Yang, who had come with Hongjun, wore an ever-changing expression.
Ancestor Qiankun frowned deeply.
"Fellow Daoists, in my opinion, we cannot continue investigating." Ancestor Qiankun looked at Hongjun and Ancestor Yin Yang.
"Heavenly might is unfathomable. Forget it, we should leave the Sun Star at once!" Ancestor Yin Yang sighed helplessly.
Hongjun was unwilling, but he still left with them.
Their Evasion Light streaked through the void.
Before long, Hongjun and the other two had departed from the Sun Star.
Ancestor Xuantian and the others also did not dare remain on the Sun Star for long.
In the hearts of the great powers, the Sun Star became a taboo.
It could be called the number one forbidden land of the Primordial World.
All kinds of speculation began to emerge.
Some great powers claimed that the Sun Star might conceal some terrifying existence, one that would bring misfortune even upon Quasi-Saints.
Others claimed that the Sun Star likely contained a Heavenly Dao Killing Array capable of suppressing and killing those of the Primordial Realm.
Still others claimed that the Sun Star might hold Pangu's Dao Fruit.
In short, more and more theories arose.
What was certain was that the Sun Star held a secret.
More and more beings grew curious.
Naturally, quite a few beings were bold.
Some beings simply loved courting death.
Courting death was one thing, but if they came to court death on the Sun Star, Lu Yang would not let them do as they pleased.
A purplish-red Heavenly Dao Mark was bound to Lu Yang's Primordial Spirit, quietly appearing within the core of the Sun Star.
Vast swathes of Golden Flame curled around the Heavenly Dao Mark.
World-Ending Blaze also appeared.
Lu Yang had already figured out the functions of the Heavenly Dao Mark.
First, it helped one comprehend Heavenly Dao.
Once one was bound to a Heavenly Dao Mark, comprehending Heavenly Dao became easier.
Beyond that, the Heavenly Dao Mark also granted a Heavenly Tribulation Method.
This method allowed one to wield the power of Heavenly Tribulation and even command Heavenly Tribulation.
Its upper limit was commanding the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Using sunlight, Di Jun directly teleported from the Sun Star to the Primordial Great Earth.
Lu Ya was currently tied down at the Immortal Volcano in the south.
Di Jun thus traveled through the Primordial World.
Lu Yang had discovered quite a few ownerless treasures, and Di Jun was just the one to collect them one by one.
In the distance, a Tribulation Cloud brewed in midair, but it was merely a Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Transforming into a streak of rainbow light, Di Jun rushed over.
A towering ancient tree was attempting to Assume Human Form.
That ancient tree's foundation was mediocre, and it only possessed Heavenly Immortal level cultivation.
After making a calculation with his fingers, Di Jun determined that the ancient tree would not survive the Heavenly Tribulation.
With another flash, Di Jun flew into the Tribulation Cloud.
The moment he entered the Tribulation Cloud, he began cultivating the Heavenly Tribulation Method.
The power of Heavenly Tribulation poured endlessly into Di Jun's body.
Lu Yang's main body could cultivate the Heavenly Tribulation Method, and his avatars could as well. Their cultivation results could be shared.
Therefore, whenever Heavenly Tribulation appeared at the Immortal Volcano, Lu Ya could also cultivate the Heavenly Tribulation Method.
The ancient tree locked onto by the Heavenly Tribulation was utterly bewildered.
What was going on with the Tribulation Cloud? Why was it getting weaker the longer it brewed?
It could clearly feel the power of Heavenly Tribulation weakening.
After quite a while, the Tribulation Cloud dispersed.
A figure appeared in midair.
The ancient tree was both shocked and delighted. A great power was helping it!
However, it celebrated too soon. After absorbing the power of Heavenly Tribulation, Di Jun casually struck and killed the ancient tree with a burst of Magic Power.
In an instant, the ancient tree turned to dust, suffering annihilation of body and soul.
This was also the ancient tree's Destiny Number.
It had been destined to fail the Heavenly Tribulation. Since Di Jun had absorbed the power of Heavenly Tribulation for cultivation, he needed to comply somewhat with the Heavenly Mandate.
Though defying this small part of the Heavenly Mandate would not have mattered much, small amounts could add up.
Di Jun still needed to continue absorbing the power of Heavenly Tribulation. Altering the Destiny Numbers of one being after another would only invite trouble.
After destroying the ancient tree, Di Jun searched for more Heavenly Tribulation.
Less than half a day later, he saw another Tribulation Cloud.
This time, it was a Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
It was not because some being was about to Assume Human Form, but because someone burdened by Karma had gone berserk.
After calculating with his fingers, Di Jun found that the being would narrowly survive.
In that case, there was no need to kill after absorbing the power of Heavenly Tribulation.
At the Immortal Volcano, Lu Ya "took" a little more origin essence.
As a member of the Phoenix Clan, and with the Immortal Volcano being the Phoenix Clan's sacred land, Lu Ya taking a little origin essence did not count as theft.
Besides, the origin essence of the Immortal Volcano and the Solar Star System came from the same source.
The foundation of a Grand Unity level Golden Crow was beginning to take shape.
As for the effect of losing a little origin essence on the Immortal Volcano, Lu Ya felt it was not much of a problem.
At this moment, a woman in crimson robes approached. Though her beauty did not compare to Yuan Feng's, she was still stunning.
She was none other than the Vermilion Bird after Assuming Human Form.
The Vermilion Bird was known as the Phoenix Clan's third strongest expert.
In truth, the Vermilion Bird's cultivation and Dao attainments both surpassed Lu Ya's.
Without borrowing the power of his main body, Lu Ya truly could not defeat the Vermilion Bird.
Grand Unity Dao Charm and Grand Unity Dao Charm were present upon the Vermilion Bird.
Grand Unity Dao Charm represented a primordial spirit with Grand Unity level cultivation.
As for Grand Unity Dao Charm, it was extraordinary, representing a Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
Only after attaining a Grand Unity Dao Fruit could one be considered a true Grand Unity expert.
Strictly speaking, possessing only Grand Unity level Magic Power made one a false Grand Unity expert.
Likewise, a Quasi-Saint was merely a false Primordial Realm expert.
The Dao was the foundation, while techniques were its application.
Even if their Magic Power was equal, possessing a Dao Fruit and lacking one were completely different matters.
Because Yuan Feng was in seclusion, many great powers of the Phoenix Clan bore heavier burdens.
Lu Ya also concerned himself with many matters within the clan.
However, the Vermilion Bird had even more to worry about.
The Vermilion Bird had always been unconvinced by Lu Ya being called the Phoenix Clan's second strongest expert.
After arriving before Lu Ya, the Vermilion Bird first discussed some clan matters with him, then proposed a spar.
"Let's forget about sparring." Lu Ya refused directly.
Lu Ya loved peace and disliked fighting and killing.
The Vermilion Bird became furious. She could have attacked him directly, but Lu Ya simply flashed away in an Evasion Light, and she could not catch up.
Therefore, if Lu Ya did not wish to spar with her, she truly had no way to force him.
Even if Lu Ya were forced to spar with her and deliberately held back, there would be no meaning in her victory.
She not only wanted to spar with Lu Ya, but also wanted him to use his full strength.
Just then, an Archaic Star fell from the Sky Dome toward the Immortal Volcano.
There were countless stars in the sky, and it was normal for a few Archaic Stars to occasionally fall.
As for those unfortunate souls crushed to death by falling stars, that too was dictated by their Destiny Numbers.
However, Archaic Stars rarely fell toward the Immortal Volcano.
Since the Beginning of Heaven and Earth, such occurrences could be counted on one hand.
The Immortal Volcano was protected by a great array. Not to mention one Archaic Star, even hundreds of millions would be blocked by the array.
Looking at the Archaic Star descending from the sky, Lu Ya casually unleashed a Palm Thunder.
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder rang out.
Before the Archaic Star could strike the array barrier, it was blasted to pieces by Lightning Power.
A great number of stellar fragments were blocked outside the array.
The Vermilion Bird stared at Lu Ya in disbelief.
"It was only Palm Thunder." Lu Ya said with a smile.
The Vermilion Bird rolled her beautiful eyes. You call that Palm Thunder?
She had sensed heavenly might. It definitely had not been an illusion.
Vast and mighty, heavenly might intimidated all things and governed everything between heaven and earth.
Such power from a casually cast Palm Thunder is unfathomable. Even the clan leader cannot accomplish this. The Vermilion Bird thought.
It seemed her challenge to Lu Ya had been overestimating herself.
