Heavenly Dao's Ultimate Fierce Treasure

But if he could refine poison to counter Saints, it would be quite feasible.

He had a mythical avatar, so he wasn't afraid of dying.

Coupled with the Cauldron of Fortune, the Saint Slaying Pill, and the Three Lights Divine Water, he could unleash all his underhanded tactics.

"Hongjun, just you wait!"

Hongyun whispered.

Afterward, he stored the Cauldron of Fortune into his spatial dimension.

He didn't take out the Saint Slaying Pill for now; he would devise a poison strategy after exploring the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Swish!

Hongyun's figure flickered, and he flew towards the upper heavens.

Only eleven layers of heaven remained unexplored.

He didn't know what other opportunities awaited him.

But even if he stopped here, his gains were already astonishing.

Meanwhile, on the Solar Star.

"Second Brother, centuries have passed, when will the opportunity you spoke of appear?"

Dijun gazed at Eastern Emperor Taiyi and asked.

Previously, when Taiyi was deducing the Heavenly Stellar Array, he had sensed a great opportunity in the starry sky.

This was an opportunity for the Demon Clan to establish their dojo.

With this, the Demon Clan might usher in a golden age.

But now, the opportunity had not appeared.

"Big Brother, do not worry. I calculated again the other day; the opportunity will appear within two centuries at the latest!"

Taiyi's tone was firm.

His comprehension of the Heavenly Stellar Array had deepened.

The immense power of this array filled him with confidence.

"Mm."

Dijun nodded.

He was extremely anxious.

In another five centuries, the war between the Witch and Demon clans would inevitably erupt.

Without a proper dojo, the Demon Clan was far inferior to the Witch Clan.

To contend for dominance in the Great Desolation, they absolutely could not fall behind.

Especially in the competition for destiny, they needed to seize the initiative.

The Witch Clan already had an advantage with Buzhou Mountain as their stronghold.

Dijun had once intended to take the Three Immortal Islands in the East Sea as their base, but he abandoned the idea because they were too far from the Solar Star.

Swish!

Within the Thirty-Three Heavens, Hongyun entered the upper heavens.

He began searching for treasures there.

Twenty-second, twenty-third heaven...

Soon, he reached the thirty-third heaven.

"The last layer of heaven, I wonder what miraculous encounters await!"

Hongyun was full of anticipation.

On this journey, he had obtained the Heaven Suppressing Coffin, the Saint Slaying Pill, and the Cauldron of Fortune; these were all great opportunities.

If any other powerful being obtained just one of them, they would rejoice for billions of years.

Even Hongjun did not have such good fortune.

Yet, in less than a thousand years, he had collected them all.

There were also immortal fruits, spiritual roots, and rare treasures that had transformed into spiritual energy and merged into his sea of blood.

Now, his sea of blood had recovered nearly twenty percent.

This energy was enough to nurture one or two more mythical avatars.

Having one more avatar meant having one more life; how precious was that!

This trip to the Thirty-Three Heavens could be considered the greatest harvest since his transmigration.

Hongyun continued his exploration.

Suddenly, a malevolent aura locked onto him.

"Hm?"

Hongyun frowned. This aura sent shivers down his spine.

It far surpassed the might of Azure Heaven and Yellow Heaven from days past.

However, the aura only lingered for a moment before vanishing.

This repeated several times over the course of several days.

"What existence is this?"

Hongyun cautiously investigated.

Though his avatar was unafraid of perishing, he was not a reckless person.

Several days later, he found the source of the aura.

Before him, a remnant soul drifted.

This soul seemed devoid of consciousness, acting purely on instinct.

A malevolent aura emanated from it, as if trying to break through the barrier of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Its power was immense, no weaker than Hongyun, who was in the mid-Quasi-Saint stage.

In fact, it was several times stronger.

But it lacked the proper method and struggled to breach the barrier.

Hongyun mused, If I had the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, perhaps it could break through.

Alas, it did not possess such a treasure.

"Roar!"

The remnant soul sensed Hongyun's approach and roared to the heavens.

The malevolent aura surged tenfold, pressing down like a raging tide.

"This is bad!"

Hongyun inwardly exclaimed, yet his expression remained unchanged as he activated his Dao fruit.

Boom!

His aura erupted, colliding with the opponent's ferocity.

A deafening roar echoed through the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"So strong!"

The soul's power made Hongyun gasp in admiration.

In its prime, it must have been a terrifying existence.

Far surpassing his current invincible mid-Quasi-Saint stage.

In the Great Desolation, late-stage Quasi-Saints might not even match him.

Yet, compared to this soul, they still fell short.

Swish!

The remnant soul lunged forward.

Fierce and sharp!

Terrifying law energy transformed into a massive net, enveloping Hongyun.

"Law of Reincarnation!"

Divine light flashed in Hongyun's eyes.

He knew a little about the Law of Reincarnation.

When he was in the East Sea, he had obtained ten Yellow Middle Plums.

These fruits were top-tier spiritual roots in the Great Desolation, containing the power of reincarnation.

Their previous form was the Chaos Reincarnation Enlightenment Fruit, which later descended in rank.

Both the Yellow Middle Plum and the Enlightenment Fruit could aid him in comprehending reincarnation.

And this remnant soul actually mastered the Law of Reincarnation, and to an extreme degree.

Hongyun dared not be careless.

With a wave of his hand, the laws of Devouring and Light-Darkness emerged to meet the enemy.

Rumble!

The three laws intertwined, their power surging, causing the void to crack slightly.

"Who are you?"

Hongyun demanded.

This soul is no ordinary being.

"Who am I? I... I..."

The remnant soul stopped attacking, seemingly lost in a fog.

Its face contorted in pain.

"I... I am the Beast Emperor! Beast Emperor..."

Its words were broken and intermittent.

"Beast Emperor?"

Hongyun searched his memories.

He suddenly recalled the tribulation of ferocious beasts.

That was a tribulation from the very beginning of the Great Desolation, predating the Dragon-Phoenix War.

He suddenly realized.

This was the reincarnation of the Beast Emperor!

In the past, there were two Beast Emperors; Shen Ni was destroyed by Luohu.

He reincarnated to cultivate the laws of reincarnation, never expecting his remnant soul to end up here.

Now, it was merely a remnant spirit revived, not the true Beast Emperor.

But even so, it was still incredibly powerful.

In the Great Desolation, besides Hongjun, perhaps no one could defeat it.

Except for Hongyun.

Swish!

He unleashed the Great Dao Treasure Gourd.

This gourd possessed both offensive and defensive capabilities, and could even trap enemies.

If one's power was strong enough, it could seal any existence below a Saint.

"Seal!"

Hongyun waved his hand, and the gourd flew out, its giant mouth opening to devour.

The remnant soul struggled.

The power of reincarnation surged, churning within the gourd, as if it intended to self-destruct.

Hongyun quickly cast several restrictions, sealing it completely.

"Six Paths... Samsara Monument..."

Before being sealed, the remnant soul uttered fragmented words.

"Six Paths Samsara Monument?"

Hongyun's eyes lit up.

This treasure could manifest the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

During the Witch-Demon tribulation, Houtu used it to become the Six Paths.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the Ancestor Witch's physical body was, she could not have achieved the Six Paths.

The Six Paths encompassed the Underworld, the Yellow Springs, and even the Sea of Blood was insignificant before it.

Only a supreme treasure could accomplish this.

The remnant soul mentioned this monument.

"This monument might be in the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

Hongyun mused inwardly.

If not for him, the Demon Clan and Hongjun might have obtained this treasure.

Houtu obtaining the monument to become the Six Paths might have been a hidden move by Hongjun.

In the third battle between the Witches and Demons, the Demon Clan would have found it difficult to win.

For the balance of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun might have facilitated Houtu's transformation into the Six Paths and her subsequent sainthood.

Hongyun became even more convinced that the monument was here.

Swish!

He transformed into a streak of light, continuing his treasure hunt.

Three years later.

"Haha, I found it!"

A colossal monument stood before him.

The monument exuded an ancient aura, and within it seemed to be a small world.

The stele was covered in dense restrictions.

Hongyun immediately began refining it.

Sizzle!

His divine sense infiltrated, and the restrictions gradually faded.

His Primordial Spirit, empowered by the Grand Unity law, became even stronger, refining the stele like a storm sweeping away clouds.

With thirty percent of the restrictions broken, he could control the stele.

Buzz!

Information flooded in, confirming it was the Six Paths Samsara Monument.

Although he had expected it, Hongyun was still excited.

He continued refining.

Months later, all restrictions were gone.

"Collect!"

Hongyun waved his hand and shouted softly.

The massive stele shrank, becoming an object in his palm, enveloped by an aura of reincarnation.

"With this stele and the Yellow Middle Plums, comprehending the reincarnation law won't be difficult!"

Hongyun was overjoyed.

He already mastered the laws of Devouring and Light/Darkness. Adding Reincarnation would further strengthen his Dao Fruit.

Even without Reincarnation, improving the other two laws would be beneficial.

Both laws were at the introductory stage, followed by Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, and Perfection.

Above that were the Great Dao of Devouring and the Great Dao of Light/Darkness, which also had four stages.

Each stage of improvement nourished the Dao Fruit.

However, it was easier to gain an introductory understanding of Reincarnation than to advance the two laws.

The Thirty-Three Heavens were now empty.

Hongyun took out a cushion, sat down, and began to meditate on Reincarnation.

Swish!

Ten Yellow Middle Plums and the Reincarnation Stele floated before him.

His divine sense enveloped them, and he used the power of the cushion to break down and comprehend the information.

The reincarnation light from the Yellow Middle Plums transformed into information, which he absorbed.

Over several months, one Yellow Middle Plum dissipated.

All its information returned to Hongyun.

He meditated without moving.

After one fruit was gone, his divine sense entered another.

Months later, another fruit was depleted.

This cycle repeated.

In less than a year, he had cultivated the Reincarnation divine ability.

However, this divine ability was only at the introductory level.

Time flew by, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Hongyun's eyes slowly opened.

The ten Yellow Middle Plums before him had long since been consumed, leaving only the Six Paths Samsara Monument, which he had completely refined.

"In just ten years, I cultivated the Reincarnation divine ability to Major Accomplishment."

"However, it took a full ninety years to go from Major Accomplishment in the divine ability to a preliminary exploration of the Reincarnation law!"

"Even so, this achievement is astonishing!"

The corners of Hongyun's mouth curved upwards slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

How difficult it was to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Reincarnation law.

For other top powerhouses in the Great Desolation, it might take hundreds of thousands of years to even glimpse its threshold.

At most, they would only cultivate the Reincarnation divine ability.

Yet, he, with the divine power of the Great Dao Cushion, had touched upon the Reincarnation law in just a century.

Although it was only the very beginning, it was enough to push his mythical Dao Fruit a step further.

With a soft buzz!

Hongyun stood up, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.

With a wave of his hand, the laws of reincarnation quietly bloomed.

Above his head, a mythical Dao fruit, flowing with five colors, gradually appeared.

Immediately, he injected the power of the laws into the Dao fruit.

The Dao fruit expanded rapidly with astonishing speed.

After a full half-hour, the Dao fruit had grown significantly larger.

Hongyun felt his own strength climb another notch.

"I still haven't reached the third level of Mythical Foundation Establishment!"

He retracted the Dao fruit, feeling the spiritual energy within him surge like a raging river.

Though only one step away from the third level, he hadn't truly crossed it yet.

Hongyun mused that if he could comprehend another law, or elevate any of the laws of Devouring, Reincarnation, or Light and Darkness to minor completion, he could break through to the third level.

At that time, his combat power would usher in a new surge.

"Now that the Thirty-Three Heavens have been completely plundered by me, it's time to go back and deal with those three remnant souls!"

He scanned his surroundings. The Thirty-Three Heavens were empty, he muttered to himself.

Not only here, but all the treasures in the heavy heavens had been collected by him.

When the Demon Clan eagerly awaited their opportunities, they would likely be dumbfounded.

But how could they blame him?

In the Great Desolation, opportunities were naturally things for the strong to fight over.

When the Heavenly Dao tribulation descended, it only asked about strength, not destined ownership.

Currently, only the Heaven Suppressing Coffin, the ultimate fierce treasure of the Heavenly Dao in the eleventh heaven, remained, along with the remnant souls of Azure Heaven, Azure Sky, and Yellow Heaven within the coffin.

With a whoosh!

Hongyun transformed into a beam of light and headed straight for the eleventh heaven.

Several days passed.

He was already standing before the Heaven Suppressing Coffin.

"Little friend, you... you've finally returned, quickly save us!"

"Little friend, all the treasures of the Thirty-Three Heavens are now yours, spare us, and we will forever remember your great kindness!"

"That's right, little friend, we are willing to pledge our allegiance to you as your servants!"

Seeing him, Azure Heaven, Azure Sky, and Yellow Heaven were extremely excited and pleaded repeatedly.

"Let you out? To disrupt the Great Desolation again?"

Hongyun snorted upon hearing this.

If it were the soft-hearted Hongyun of the past, he might have felt pity.

But now, he had no intention of releasing these three souls.

He never engaged in things that offered no profit.

Moreover, releasing these three souls might not earn him gratitude, but could instead invite hostility.

How could Hongyun be so unwise?

With a flash!

He summoned the Great Dao Cushion and suspended it before him.

Last time, he had only broken through thirty percent of the Heaven Suppressing Coffin's restrictions; now, he intended to completely control it.

Crackling sounds continued!

Under the coverage of his Primordial Spirit power, one restriction after another was refined by him.

The three souls were utterly bewildered at this moment.

They did not understand Hongyun's intentions and could only beg desperately.

But he remained unmoved.

Fifty years passed in a flash.

Hongyun finally refined all the restrictions of the Heaven Suppressing Coffin.

Under the hundredfold acceleration of the Great Dao Cushion, it felt as if he had experienced five thousand years.

At this moment, he could freely control this ultimate fierce treasure of the Heavenly Dao.
