The River Chart and Luo Writing let out a mournful cry, their light dimming as they flew back into Di Jun's body.
The aftershock of the violent fist wind swept over Di Jun and Tai Yi like the gale of the Nine Heavens, striking them viciously.
"Pfft—"
The two of them were sent flying like kites with severed strings, drawing two ragged golden arcs through the void as blood sprayed wildly from their mouths and their auras weakened to the extreme.
The mere aftershock had already left them gravely wounded!
After finally stabilizing themselves, the looks they gave Su Ming had changed from shock to utter terror.
"This physical body... this baleful aura..." Tai Yi clutched his chest and stared fixedly at the faint Pangu Phantom behind Su Ming. An unbelievable thought surged into his mind. "You... you're from the Wu Clan?!"
In the Primordial Wilderness, only those barbarians who did not cultivate the primordial spirit and tempered only their physical bodies could possess such a terrifying physique!
At this, Su Ming finally stopped. He neither admitted nor denied it, merely allowing a flash of killing intent to flicker through his eyes.
Di Jun. Tai Yi.
The two future Heavenly Emperors of the Demon Clan and the protagonists of the Witch-Demon Calamity.
If he killed them here and now, wouldn't the future Wu Clan be spared countless troubles?
Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
The qi and blood within Su Ming began to boil once more, and a cold killing intent instantly locked onto the gravely wounded Di Jun and Tai Yi.
The two of them felt a chill throughout their bodies, as if they had been targeted by an unparalleled vicious beast from the Primordial Chaos. Even their souls trembled.
However, just as Su Ming was about to act and finish off these two Golden Crows once and for all—
A vast, cold, merciless, and supreme will suddenly descended from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens!
This will had neither form nor voice, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty that pressed down firmly upon Su Ming.
The Heavenly Dao!
Su Ming's movement halted, and his brows drew tightly together.
He could clearly sense that the will of the Heavenly Dao was not attacking him, but warning him!
Di Jun and Tai Yi were key figures in this world's current Tribulation. They were pawns chosen by the grand momentum of the Heavenly Dao. Before they completed their mission, no one could kill them!
"Hongjun..."
Su Ming gave a cold snort inwardly.
Aside from that man who was about to merge with the Dao, who else could influence the Heavenly Dao to such an extent?
This was clearly a contingency Hongjun had left behind for the Demon Clan.
Feeling the increasingly heavy pressure, the killing intent in Su Ming's eyes slowly faded.
He knew that now was not the time to clash head-on with the Heavenly Dao.
If he wanted to truly transcend and remain free of all restraints, he had to attain the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and gain the capital to stand as an equal to the Heavenly Dao—or even overturn the board!
Seeing the killing intent recede from Su Ming, the heavy stone hanging in Di Jun's heart finally lowered somewhat.
Enduring his injuries, he cupped his hands toward Su Ming. His tone held a trace of wariness, yet he still maintained his dignity as he said, "Your divine abilities are vast beyond measure. The two of us admit our inferiority. However, this is the Sun Star, the place of our birth and the location of our Daoist temple. You came uninvited and even struck us so severely. Don't you think you've gone too far?"
If they couldn't win, then they could only reason with him.
That was Di Jun's sole choice at this moment.
Yet when Su Ming heard this, he suddenly laughed as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world.
"Your Daoist temple?"
He pointed down at the Sun Star beneath his feet, then pointed at the Moon Star high in the heavens, facing it from afar.
"This star was transformed from Father God Pangu's left eye, while the Moon Star was transformed from Father God's right eye. Both are remnants of Pangu's legacy."
Su Ming's gaze suddenly turned sharp, and his voice became grand and imposing, as though he were proclaiming something on behalf of a great existence.
"I am a True Descendant of Pangu, the Great Venerable of the Wu Clan!"
"Tell me, when did this place, formed from the body of Father God Pangu, become the private property of you two feathered beasts?!"
"Besides, with your meager, third-rate abilities, how dare you dream of taking control of the Heavenly Court and ruling the Primordial Wilderness?"
As his voice fell, Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces instantly turned deathly pale!
Su Ming's voice was not loud, yet it was like a resounding slap, lashing viciously across Di Jun and Tai Yi's faces.
With his hands behind his back, he stood there and calmly swept his gaze over the starry canopy that had transformed into countless fragments, as well as Di Jun, whose face was deathly pale and whose lips were stained with blood. His tone carried a natural, self-evident contempt.
"You're courting death!"
Tai Yi was thoroughly enraged!
As an Innate Divine Being born from the Sun Star, the sovereign of the Three-Legged Golden Crows, and the future emperor of the Demon Clan, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Someone had attacked their home, his elder brother had been injured, their strongest defensive spiritual treasure had been smashed apart with bare fists—and in the end, he still had to endure such ridicule!
Even a scholar could not endure this!
"Big Brother, help me!"
Tai Yi roared, and the True Sun Fire on his body erupted. It was no longer golden as before, but had transformed into a dazzling glaze-colored radiance!
The very core of the entire Sun Star seemed to come alive at this moment!
Endless power from the Sun Star's origin found an outlet and surged madly into Tai Yi's body. His aura rose at a terrifying speed. His cultivation, which had originally been at the peak of the mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, forcibly broke through its bottleneck within a few short breaths, reaching the late stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!
With the advantage of home ground, he forcibly broke through his realm!
Although this power was temporary, Tai Yi at this moment was undoubtedly the true master of the Sun Star!
"Kill!"
Tai Yi's eyes transformed into two glaze-colored suns. With a wave of his hand, the Chaos Bell, whose light had originally dimmed, once more rang out with a heaven-shaking toll. Glaze-colored True Sun Fire blazed across its surface, and its might was more than twice as powerful as before!
"Dong!"
The Chaos Bell transformed into a streak of light and crashed toward Su Ming once again, carrying the power to suppress the Three Thousand Worlds!
Seeing Tai Yi's resolve, a trace of pain flashed through Di Jun's eyes, but it immediately transformed into boundless killing intent. He wiped away the golden blood at the corner of his mouth and shouted as well.
"Sun Essence Wheel, emerge!"
A treasure wheel wreathed in golden flames flew out from the three flowers above his head. Its connection with the Sun Star was even closer than that of the Chaos Bell. It was one of his Companion Spiritual Treasures—the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Sun Essence Wheel!
The moment the Sun Essence Wheel appeared, it resonated with the Chaos Bell that Tai Yi had activated. One suppressed space-time while the other incinerated all things. Working together, the two brothers transformed the core region of the Sun Star into a deadly inferno!
Facing this earth-shattering combined attack, one capable of making any Grand Unity Golden Immortal tremble in fear, Su Ming's expression remained completely unchanged.
He merely raised his right hand slowly.
"So you're finally willing to use some real skill?"
"In that case, I'll let you see what despair means."
The instant his voice fell, a long spear appeared out of thin air in his hand. It was pitch-black from end to end, with wisps of blood-colored baleful energy coiling around its shaft.
The God Slaying Spear!
The moment this spear emerged, the winds and clouds changed color!
The core of the Sun Star, originally so scorching that it could melt all things, suddenly plummeted in temperature!
That pure, extreme killing aura, devoid of any impurity, seemed like the embodiment of the end of all things. In an instant, it overwhelmed the imperial majesty of the Chaos Bell and the resplendent divine might of the Sun Essence Wheel.
The True Sun Fire that had been blazing fiercely seemed to have encountered its natural nemesis before the baleful aura of the God Slaying Spear. Even its flames drew back by three parts as it let out uneasy cries.
Di Jun and Tai Yi's pupils abruptly contracted!
From that spear, they sensed a tremor originating from the depths of their souls! It was a terrifying weapon fierce enough to threaten their origins and even completely erase their existence!
