Calamity Qi Begins to Spread

Cang Mountain was lush with color, its ancient trees deep and secluded. Dense Innate Spiritual Qi had turned into clouds and mist that coiled through the air.

In some places, the Spiritual Qi was so dense that it liquefied, gathering on the ground into babbling streams.

Yet a Fierce Beast had ruined the beauty of this region.

Lu Ya stood upon an auspicious cloud high in the sky, looking down to see great numbers of living beings scattering like frightened birds and beasts.

Looking again at the Fierce Beast wreaking havoc below, it resembled an ape, stood several hundred zhang tall, and had a black head and white body, with terrifying baleful Qi swirling around it.

"Boom!"

When the Fierce Beast threw a punch, the force of its fist shook a mountain ten thousand zhang high.

After observing it for a moment, Lu Ya saw through the Fierce Beast's strength.

This was a True Immortal-level Fierce Beast.

Fierce Beasts bore tremendous malice toward the Primordial World and instinctively sought to destroy it.

The greater their numbers and the stronger they became, the more destruction they naturally wrought upon the Primordial World.

Most of the Primordial World's karma was probably now concentrated upon the Fierce Beasts.

Thus, once the Heavenly Dao came into being, Fierce Beasts became existences disapproved by Heaven and Earth.

Rejected by the Heavenly Dao, the fate of the Fierce Beasts was already sealed.

At such a time, killing Fierce Beasts meant accumulating merit.

However, merit did not hold much appeal for Lu Ya.

His main body received merit every day.

If he used merit to raise his cultivation, then even with Lu Ya's poor innate foundation, creating a Quasi-Saint would be effortless.

"Hm?"

Seemingly sensing something, golden-red light flashed in Lu Ya's eyes.

Under the gaze of the Sun God Eye, he saw Calamity Qi spreading through Heaven and Earth.

A great calamity was approaching?

This calamity was undoubtedly aimed at the Fierce Beasts, but they had brought it upon themselves.

Fortunately, the Fierce Beasts were not powerful enough. Otherwise, the Primordial World would have long since been destroyed by them.

If the Fierce Beasts had been strong enough while instinctively seeking to destroy the Primordial World, how could the Primordial World have survived until now?

Therefore, the truth was that the Fierce Beasts were weak.

Looking across the Primordial World, Calamity Qi could now be found wherever Fierce Beasts existed.

As time passed, the Calamity Qi would continue to spread until all that lay above and below Heaven was caught in the calamity.

Even hiding in the countless lesser worlds within the Primordial World would be useless.

The overwhelming trend was like the sky collapsing. This was Heaven's killing intent.

Unless one possessed the ability to defy Heaven.

"Roar!"

With the Fierce Beast's furious roar, its baleful Qi nearly scattered the auspicious cloud beneath Lu Ya's feet.

At the same time, the Fierce Beast's savage gaze locked onto Lu Ya.

"You overestimate yourself, vile creature." Lu Ya chuckled.

The Fierce Beast possessed an extraordinary innate foundation, and a True Immortal-level Fierce Beast was no weak opponent, but it was still beneath Lu Ya's notice.

Still, the cultivation technique the Fierce Beast practiced was somewhat interesting.

With another roar, the enormous Fierce Beast shot into the air.

Flight was no difficult matter for a True Immortal-level Fierce Beast.

Of course, its speed was another question entirely.

Fierce Beasts of the same realm could differ vastly in speed.

Speed was also divided into flight speed, movement speed on land, attack speed, speed in the sea, in the void, beneath the Sky Dome, beyond the heavens...

This Fierce Beast's movement speed on land was fairly decent, but its flight speed was rather lacking.

Even using only a small amount of mana, Lu Ya's flying speed far surpassed that of this Fierce Beast.

Yet Lu Ya neither dodged nor retreated, instead producing a Flying Dagger.

The blade flashed once, and the Fierce Beast's head separated from its body as its soul was annihilated.

Its enormous body fell to the earth.

"Boom!"

The ground was smashed into a massive crater.

After casually killing a True Immortal-level Fierce Beast, Lu Ya did not forget to examine its remaining memories.

Most of the Fierce Beast's memories consisted of destruction.

Killing living beings, destroying earth veins...

Its ultimate goal was to destroy the entire Primordial World.

"God-Demon Body Refinement?"

The cultivation technique practiced by the Fierce Beast could also be called Nine Revolutions God-Demon Body Refinement.

The Fierce Beast Lu Ya had slain had completed only the first revolution of God-Demon Body Refinement.

Compared with the Nine Revolutions Golden Crow Art that Lu Ya cultivated, Nine Revolutions God-Demon Body Refinement was vastly more powerful.

However, the requirements for cultivating God-Demon Body Refinement were also much higher.

With Lu Ya's current innate foundation, he did not yet meet the requirements to cultivate God-Demon Body Refinement.

Unfortunately, the Fierce Beast he had slain was of low rank, and Lu Ya had only read its remaining memories.

Thus, the God-Demon Body Refinement he obtained was incomplete. Only the first revolution was complete; the second was missing much, the third contained only a tiny fragment, and there was nothing beyond that.

Still, with the complete first revolution, the rest could gradually be completed later.

Above the Sky Dome, the stars shone brilliantly.

The Sun Star was incomparably dazzling, its radiance illuminating more than half of the Primordial World.

Terrifying flames danced across the Sun Star.

For this reason, few living beings ever set foot upon the Sun Star.

Compared to the surface of the Sun Star, the sea of molten fire within was even more terrifying.

Occasionally, great experts came to the Sun Star to gather materials for artifact refinement and the like.

The spiritual roots and spiritual treasures nurtured on the Sun Star were all concealed, making them difficult for those who came to find.

Then again, if any being found an Innate Spiritual Treasure on the Sun Star and wished to leave unharmed, they would first have to ask Lu Yang.

Now, Lu Yang divided his attention in two, controlling the Golden Crow avatar in Kunlun Mountain in the lower realm while trying out God-Demon Body Refinement.

God-Demon Body Refinement did not merely cultivate the body; it also cultivated the primordial spirit, refining both inside and out.

It was simply a technique that focused primarily on body refinement.

Cultivating this technique placed extremely high demands on one's innate foundation.

Lu Ya's innate foundation did not currently meet the requirements to cultivate it.

The Sun Star, however, naturally posed no problem.

As Lu Yang cultivated slightly, a vast amount of Innate Spiritual Qi surged over wildly.

Innate Spiritual Qi formed a storm around the Sun Star.

The Spiritual Qi storm was exceedingly chaotic.

Countless living beings upon the Primordial Great Earth saw only that the sun flickered between brightness and dimness, while unease grew in their hearts.

Many great experts were puzzled and alarmed.

After all, the Sun Star was extremely important to the Primordial World.

If the Sun Star vanished, creating another sun would be difficult.

A moment later, the Spiritual Qi storm around the Sun Star dissipated.

Everything returned to normal.

Somewhere in the Western Great Earth, a black-robed young man sat upon a Twelve-grade Lotus Platform, calculating with his fingers.

Even after a long while, he could calculate nothing, leaving him somewhat uneasy.

A cold, sinister gleam shifted in his eyes.

"Was the anomaly of the Sun Star one of Pangu's contingencies? Or..."

"My plans must also be brought forward."

"Let the Fierce Beasts become the first stepping stone for me, Rahu, to ascend toward Great Dao Sagehood!"

Kunlun Mountain.

Lu Ya looked toward the Sky Dome with lingering fear.

His main body had merely tested God-Demon Body Refinement, yet it had caused no small disturbance.

Fortunately, it had stopped in time. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would have delivered punishment.

Every movement of the Sun Star had considerable effects upon the Primordial World.

The Sun, Moon, and Stars existed in a delicate balance, and God-Demon Body Refinement was a powerful cultivation technique. If the Sun Star cultivated this technique, that balance would be disrupted.

The Heavenly Dao would not permit it.

To Lu Yang, this was both protection and restriction.

As the Primordial World continued to grow, Lu Yang's Body Cultivation also became increasingly powerful. But if the Primordial World declined one day, the Sun Star would likewise grow weaker and weaker.

When the Immeasurable Calamity arrived, what then?

It seemed that the Golden Crow avatar was not merely a way to pass the time; it was also a path forward.

He needed to create more Golden Crows, and the next Golden Crow had to be stronger.

Once he created the second Golden Crow, he would upgrade the first one as well. When he created the third Golden Crow, he would upgrade the first two together, and so on.

The disturbance caused earlier by the Sun Star had been too great. It seemed it would attract quite a few great experts to investigate the Sun Star.

As he pondered this, Lu Ya traveled through West Kunlun.

As a Primordial top blessed land, Kunlun Mountain indeed contained many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Whenever Lu Ya saw something good, he stored it away.

West Kunlun was only a little less than half of the Kunlun Mountain Range. East Kunlun was even larger.

Yet even traveling through all of West Kunlun was no easy task.
