He waved his hand and gave it a try.
The Heaven Suppressing Coffin indeed moved according to his will, operating with perfect flexibility and changing size at will.
"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy and spare our lives!"
"Senior, please spare us!"
"We don't want to be imprisoned in this coffin forever!"
Azure Heaven, Azure Sky, and Yellow Heaven wailed one after another.
"Don't worry. You won't be trapped in the coffin forever."
Hong Yun replied calmly.
"Really... really? Senior, you're going to set us free?"
"Wonderful! Thank you for your great kindness, Senior!"
"We will never forget this favor!"
A trace of cunning flashed through the Three Souls' eyes as they looked toward Hong Yun and waited quietly to escape.
Once free, they would flee, rebuild their strength, and seek revenge.
"I never said I was going to let you leave!"
"Then..."
The Three Souls were utterly confused.
"Rise!"
Hong Yun raised his hand and brought out the Great Dao Treasure Gourd.
Inside the gourd, the remnant soul of the Beast Emperor's reincarnation was about to self-destruct.
But Hong Yun had forcibly sealed it, leaving it unable to move.
Now, he intended to place this remnant soul inside the Heaven Suppressing Coffin.
Once the seal was undone, the remnant soul would explode instantly.
This soul had completely lost its mind. Once it began self-destructing, there was no possibility of stopping.
Even if its surroundings changed, it would remain completely unaware.
"No... no..."
Seeing this, the Three Souls cried out in terror.
They sensed that the remnant soul's aura was horrifying, with signs of impending rampage. All three were so terrified that their souls nearly scattered.
When this soul was alive, it must have been a terrifying powerhouse many times stronger than them.
If it self-destructed beside them, their Three Souls would bear the brunt, with nowhere to escape.
Hong Yun ignored the Three Souls' screams.
He directly sent the reincarnation remnant soul into the Heaven Suppressing Coffin.
By now, this coffin was completely under his control.
Afterward, he sealed the Three Souls and the reincarnation remnant soul together inside the coffin.
Whoosh!
Carrying the Heaven Suppressing Coffin, he headed straight for the First Heavy Heaven, the lowest layer of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
The First Heavy Heaven was the entrance to the Thirty-Three Heavens.
When the Demon Clan entered, they would have to set foot here first.
He brought out the Heaven Suppressing Coffin once more.
"I'll leave this coffin here. Once the Demon Clan arrives, I'll collect it again!"
Hong Yun secretly plotted.
He cultivated the Mythical Grand Unity Method and had refined the Heaven Suppressing Coffin.
He only needed to leave a strand of divine sense on the coffin. Even while in Fire Cloud Cave, he could recall it in an instant.
When he recalled it, he would undo the seals on the Three Souls and the reincarnation remnant soul.
At that time, a heaven-shaking explosion would erupt.
When the reincarnation remnant soul exploded, it would also set off the Three Souls.
A dazzlingly magnificent explosion would sweep across the Nine Heavens.
The entire First Heavy Heaven might even be reduced to nothing.
"Tsk, tsk!"
Hong Yun chuckled softly, already able to envision the Demon Clan falling into the trap.
When the time came, he could also receive the system's reward!
He wasn't harming them without reason.
It was only because Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng, and he had a deep grudge between them.
Kunpeng was the worst of all. Because his previous incarnation had given up his seat in Purple Cloud Palace, Kunpeng had held a grudge against him for a long time.
Even if he didn't act first, the three of them would continue provoking him.
Just like last time, after the second lecture at Purple Cloud Palace, the three had secretly sent word to Ancestor Minghe.
They had ordered Minghe to intercept and kill him halfway.
If not for his extraordinary strength and the protection of the Great Dao Treasure Gourd, he would likely have fallen victim to Minghe and Blood Mosquito Daoist.
What a pity...
In the end, Minghe had still offered up ninety percent of the Netherworld Blood Sea.
"I wonder how the grudge between Blood Mosquito Daoist and Ancestor Minghe has developed by now?"
Hong Yun speculated in secret, his interest piqued.
Back then, Blood Mosquito Daoist had harbored deep hatred toward Ancestor Minghe. He was certainly not someone who would let matters rest easily.
Rumble!
At that moment, a heaven-shaking tremor came from the Thirty-Three Heavens.
"Hm? Could the Thirty-Three Heavens be about to emerge?"
Hong Yun sensed that this tremor was a sign of its emergence, and his heartstrings trembled slightly.
He gently set down the Heaven Suppressing Coffin and attached a strand of divine sense to it.
Then he brought out the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler and viciously split open a crack in the barrier of the Thirty-Three Heavens. Transforming into a streak of rainbow light, he headed straight for Fire Cloud Cave.
Inside Fire Cloud Cave.
Hong Yun began counting the treasures he had gained from exploring the Thirty-Three Heavens.
With a flash, dozens, even more than a hundred, spiritual treasures appeared before him.
"Most of these treasures are acquired items. There are only a few Innate Spiritual Treasures, and all of them are low-grade!"
Hong Yun carefully examined the pile of spiritual treasures and muttered softly.
The number of spiritual treasures in the Thirty-Three Heavens was truly sparse.
He immediately tossed these spiritual treasures into a corner of the cave and paid them no further attention.
With another flash!
He moved his hand again, and two treasured cauldrons appeared before him from thin air.
One was the supreme treasure unmatched in artifact refinement throughout the Great Desolation: the Qiankun Cauldron.
The other was the divine artifact unrivaled in alchemy throughout the world: the Cauldron of Fortune.
The Qiankun Cauldron had been bestowed by the system, while the Cauldron of Fortune was a rare treasure he had found in the Thirty-Three Heavens.
This opportunity could truly be called a blessing from heaven.
With another flash!
Hong Yun then revealed the several powerful treasures he currently relied upon.
The Great Dao Treasure Gourd, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, the Great Dao Cushion, and the Gourd Vine!
The Great Dao Treasure Gourd had many uses. It was capable of both offense and defense, and could even seal and trap enemies. Its power was extraordinary.
Its wondrous aspect lay in the fact that as Hong Yun's cultivation advanced, its power would rise accordingly.
If Hong Yun were only at the initial stage of Grand Unity, the gourd's ability to trap and kill enemies could suppress, at most, those below the middle stage of Grand Unity.
But once he entered the initial stage of the Quasi-Saint realm, it would be enough to restrain powerhouses below the middle stage of the Quasi-Saint realm.
When his cultivation reached the late stage of the Quasi-Saint realm, this gourd could even lock down any existence below the Saint realm.
In terms of defense, although it was inferior to the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, it far surpassed the number-one acquired defensive divine artifact, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
Among defensive supreme treasures, it was unquestionably top-tier.
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler was an acquired merit supreme treasure with unparalleled offensive power, so there was no need to say more.
During this trip to the Thirty-Three Heavens, without the ruler's assistance, Hong Yun might not have been able to find its traces.
The Great Dao Cushion could help him comprehend the profundities of the Great Dao, increasing his cultivation speed by more than a hundredfold.
Looking ahead, if Hong Yun wanted to achieve Mythical Grand Unity, the divine abilities, laws, and Great Dao he needed to comprehend would only become increasingly vast and complex.
The assistance provided by the Great Dao Cushion would also become more significant by the day.
If it had been any other mighty being in the Great Desolation, even if they obtained the Mythical Grand Unity Method, successfully cultivating it would have been nothing but a fool's dream.
That was because comprehending the laws of the Great Dao was as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who held fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, had been unable to use the power of laws to attain the Dao.
Because he couldn't comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao, he had been forced to create the art of Severing the Three Corpses and attain the Saint Position.
This was Hong Yun's unique trump card.
The Great Dao Cushion was the strongest reward bestowed by the system, obtained during the very first calamity.
Finally, there was the Gourd Vine he had refined with the Qiankun Cauldron.
The vine had now transformed into a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
But it still wasn't enough to rank among supreme treasures.
"If things followed the original trajectory, this Gourd Vine should have absorbed Heavenly Dao Merit when Nuwa created humanity and transformed into the acquired merit supreme treasure, the Human-Creating Whip!"
Hong Yun pondered in secret.
Now that the vine had fallen into his hands, even the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil required to create humanity was in his possession.
How would Nuwa create humanity then?
A trace of doubt arose in Hong Yun's heart.
For now, however, he didn't dwell on this matter.
His urgent priority was to increase his cultivation and prepare for Dao Ancestor Hongjun's scheme involving the Primordial Violet Qi.
At the thought of Hongjun's calculations, Hong Yun unexpectedly felt a faint sense of anticipation.
In less than two thousand years, Hongjun would hold his third lecture.
He remembered that Hongjun would accept disciples and establish the Saint Positions at that time, bestow the Primordial Violet Qi, and place many treasures on the Treasure Distribution Rock to distribute among the three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace.
"Hongjun, if you don't scheme against me, so be it. But if you dare lay a hand on me..."
Hong Yun gave a cold snort, murderous intent hidden within.
Now that he possessed a mythical avatar, even when facing a Saint, he was no longer as apprehensive as he had been before.
He immediately flipped his wrist.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three Saint Slaying Pills and Three Lights Divine Water floated before him.
The poisonous aura emitted by the Saint Slaying Pills made Hong Yun feel a chill even without touching them.
"These Saint Slaying Pills will kill anyone below the Quasi-Saint realm upon contact!"
Hong Yun had now reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Second Layer of Mythical Grand Unity, yet he still didn't dare touch them rashly.
Not to mention swallowing one.
If a Saint consumed this pill, even they would find it difficult to endure.
One pill might not be enough to poison a Saint to death.
But taking all three would certainly bring down a Saint.
"The Three Lights Divine Water is also extremely poisonous. Every drop contains lethal power!"
After thinking for a moment, Hong Yun tossed the Saint Slaying Pills and Three Lights Divine Water into the Cauldron of Fortune.
He wanted to refine an invisible, colorless, extremely deadly poison that could silently blend into the Primordial Violet Qi.
When the time came, if Hongjun used the Primordial Violet Qi to harm his mythical avatar, then the moment he secretly reclaimed it and touched it, he would be knocked down by this poison!
However, Hong Yun had no experience in the art of refining poison.
Although the Cauldron of Fortune was a supreme treasure for alchemy, it couldn't refine the poison he needed on its own.
"Forget it. I'll set it aside for now!"
Since there was no solution at present, Hong Yun wasn't in a hurry to force the matter.
After all, time was still on his side.
Meanwhile.
On the Solar Star.
"Hahaha, Big Brother, a heaven-defying opportunity has finally arrived!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi excitedly barged into Dijun's cave dwelling and laughed aloud.
He had deduced the Star Array of the Heavens and determined that this was the moment the Thirty-Three Heavens would emerge.
"Oh? Second Brother, I also sensed an abnormal disturbance in the prehistoric starry sky just now, but what exactly is happening?"
Demon Emperor Dijun asked anxiously.
"A vast heavenly domain never seen before has emerged. It is perfect for establishing a Daoist arena for our Demon Clan!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi spoke at length.
"Is that really so? Then why aren't we hurrying over to seize it?"
Demon Master Kunpeng hurried over upon hearing the news, his face filled with excitement.
"There's no need for either of you to worry. I've already calculated its location. We only need to gather the Demon Clan's elites and go there with me!"
"This opportunity will definitely cause my Demon Clan's strength to surge, enough for us to sweep away the Witch Clan! Hahaha!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was filled with heroic ambition. This time, the Demon Clan's rise was within reach.
"Good. Quickly gather our forces and set out!"
Demon Emperor Dijun made his decision without hesitation, ordering the Demon Clan's experts to assemble and head straight for the place of opportunity.
Several days later.
Dijun and Taiyi led Kunpeng, Jimeng, Yingzhao, Bai Ze, Goushe, Feilian, and other great demons of the Demon Clan, along with countless elite soldiers, to the outskirts of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
"Big Brother, this is where our Demon Clan's opportunity lies—the Thirty-Three Heavens!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes shone brightly.
At that moment, the Thirty-Three Heavens had fully revealed its true form.
Everyone gazed into the distance and immediately felt its boundless grandeur.
Even the lowest level, the First Heaven, was far more vast than the Solar Star.
With this treasure land as the foundation of the Heavenly Court, and with billions upon billions of demons from the Great Desolation under their rule, how could the Demon Clan fail to prosper?
The other demons' eyes also ignited with fervent light.
The dawn of the Demon Clan's rise had appeared!
"Hahaha, what are you still standing around for? All demons, heed my command! Follow this Emperor into the Thirty-Three Heavens and seize the opportunity!"
With Dijun's order, he took the lead and stepped inside.
Before long, under Dijun and Taiyi's leadership, everyone entered the First Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
As soon as they entered, a vast surge of spiritual energy rushed toward them.
"It truly is a wondrous treasure land!"
Satisfaction appeared on Dijun's face.
The spiritual energy here was countless times denser than that of the Solar Star.
Even the Three Immortal Islands of the East Sea could not compare.
"Big Brother, what do you think of this place? And this is merely the First Heaven!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi's tone carried a hint of pride.
"Indeed. Heaven's will favors our Demon Clan!"
Demon Master Kunpeng nodded repeatedly, full of praise.
Behind them, the great demons Jimeng, Yingzhao, Bai Ze, Goushe, and the others could barely contain their excitement.
"Hmm? Look over there!"
Suddenly, Kunpeng pointed toward a towering coffin in the distance and loudly alerted everyone.
The coffin possessed overwhelming majesty, its golden light flowing ceaselessly.
