Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Fire Spirit Pearl!

The words had barely faded.

That Primordial Unity Golden Immortal didn't wait for Qin Mu to respond, choosing instead to strike without hesitation.

"Boom! Boom!"

In an instant, vast surging dharma power erupted from within his body, and he immediately slapped a palm down toward Qin Mu.

The palm shot forth, condensed like a bolt of silk, carrying terrifying power as it pressed down.

The giant palm descended, directly tearing through the void.

"Ah?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin Mu, be careful!"

Duobao Daoist's face changed drastically at the sight.

With his own cultivation at only the Mystic Immortal level, he had no idea what to do against an existence like a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

The only thing he could do was warn Qin Mu to watch out.

"Step back."

"Watch how I deal with him!"

Qin Mu said calmly.

Duobao heard this and quickly nodded, then hurriedly retreated backward.

He understood clearly that a clash between two Primordial Unity Golden Immortals was something he could not intervene in.

In the void, that Primordial Unity Golden Immortal sneered contemptuously upon hearing Qin Mu's words.

"Truly arrogant words!"

In his view, although Qin Mu was also at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level, he himself was at the late stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, only a step away from Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Meanwhile, Qin Mu was still at the early stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

The strength between the two was not comparable.

"Boom! Boom!"

At the same time, that giant dharma palm had already descended from the heavens, pressing down above Qin Mu's head.

Its terrifying might caused heaven and earth to change color, space and time seeming to warp and distort under its pressure.

Qin Mu stood beneath it, utterly unmoved.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within Qin Mu's body.

As this aura emerged, it shot straight into the sky.

The descending dharma palm, struck by this aura, even stalled for a moment.

Immediately after, a crimson red pearl flew out from Qin Mu's hand.

In less than an instant, that crimson pearl hovered to a stop before Qin Mu.

"Boom, boom..."

With the appearance of the pearl, the surrounding temperature surged sharply.

Then, flames suddenly ignited from the pearl.

The moment these flames appeared, they swept across heaven and earth in an instant.

Their terrifying heat seemed capable of incinerating everything in the world.

What else could it be but the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Fire Spirit Pearl?

The dharma palm that had been pressing down toward Qin Mu directly collapsed into nothingness under the might of the Fire Spirit Pearl.

"This?"

"An innate spiritual treasure?"

That Primordial Unity Golden Immortal's pupils shook violently when he saw Qin Mu produce the Fire Spirit Pearl, his face filled with shock.

"How is this possible?"

"How could he possibly possess such a treasure?"

He stammered, utterly incredulous.

After all, in the present-day Primordial Land, innate spiritual treasures were extremely scarce.

Let alone a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure like the Fire Spirit Pearl.

Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal might not necessarily own such a treasure.

Beyond that, the cultivation path taken by all living beings in the Primordial Land was essentially the path of Slaying the Three Corpses.

And to break through from Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint, one would face the problem of Slaying the Three Corpses.

The key to Slaying the Three Corpses lay in using innate spiritual treasures as vessels.

What left this Primordial Unity Golden Immortal utterly shaken was that Qin Mu, despite being weaker in cultivation than him, actually possessed such a Spiritual Treasure in his hands.

Just as he was reeling from the shock, Qin Mu let out a cold laugh and taunted:

"What's the matter?"

"From the look of you, it seems you've never seen an Innate Spiritual Treasure before?"

"Out here in the wild, without an Innate Spiritual Treasure to rely on, you'd be too embarrassed to call yourself a cultivator of the Primordial Wilderness."

"How have you even been getting by?"

Hearing Qin Mu's mockery, that Primordial Unity Golden Immortal flushed red with rage, his teeth grinding together with a grating "clench-clench" sound.

He was merely a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, without much fortune or opportunity—how could he possibly have an Innate Spiritual Treasure on him?

"So what if it's an Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

"It still depends on who's wielding it."

After a brief pause, the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal shot back, a wicked thought stirring in his heart.

He mused that if he could slay Qin Mu, not only would the Innate Spiritual Root be his, but Qin Mu's Innate Spiritual Treasure would also belong to him!

With that thought, the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal's gaze instantly turned fervent.

But before the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal could even collect himself, Qin Mu moved with a thought, directly commanding the Fire Spirit Pearl to smash down toward the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Fire Spirit Pearl transformed into a streak of light, hurtling straight at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

In less than a breath, it slammed heavily into the ground before him.

Seeing this, the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal's pupils contracted as he hastily summoned his dharma power to block.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar that rang through the air, Under the impact of the Fire Spirit Pearl, the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal's defenses shattered outright.

The Fire Spirit Pearl struck him squarely in the chest.

Looking closely, the man had been blasted away, crashing straight into a mountain peak.

"Boom..."

Struck by this impact, that mountain peak shattered into pieces, kicking up a sky full of dust.

Before long, the turmoil subsided, and the dust cleared.

That Primordial Unity Golden Immortal rose slowly into the air, bedraggled and disheveled.

"Oh?"

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow at the sight, somewhat surprised.

"He's still alive?"

Duobao, who had retreated to a distance, watched this scene with his jaw hanging open.

"This?"

"Can an Innate Spiritual Treasure be used like this?"

"So crudely, just to smash people?"

Before Duobao could even process it, Qin Mu moved with a thought once more, reasserting control over the Fire Spirit Pearl.

This time, he didn't command the Fire Spirit Pearl to smash into the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

"Boom! Boom!"

Behold, the hovering Fire Spirit Pearl suddenly blazed with blinding divine light, and a torrent of sky-engulfing flames erupted in an instant.

Then, terrifying flames condensed, forming a river of fire that swept toward that Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

"Ah?"

The Primordial Unity Golden Immortal was stunned at the sight.

Roar! Roar!

Immediately after, with a furious bellow, he transformed into his true form—a massive turtle covered in dark, scaled armor.

"Mere flames, and you think you can burn me to death?"

"Even if it were Samadhi True Fire, I would not fear!"

The great turtle roared, its voice shaking heaven and earth.

Hearing this, Qin Mu curled his lips into a cold sneer:

"Is that so?"

"This is the Nine Heavens Profound Fire among the ten divine flames, born at the dawn of heaven and earth!"

As his words fell, a flick of his fingertip sent the flames enveloping the great turtle suddenly shifting into a dazzling silver.

The temperature instantly skyrocketed, even the space itself collapsing from the heat.

"Nine Heavens Profound Fire?"

The great turtle finally panicked, terror surfacing in its eyes.

Before it could react, its entire body was engulfed in the endless silver inferno.

"Ah!!!"

A wretched scream tore through heaven and earth. The great turtle thrashed wildly, its internal energy pouring out desperately, yet it couldn't extinguish the flames clinging to it.

In the end, it was burned alive to ashes in despair, not even its Primordial Spirit escaping!

Seeing this, Qin Mu smiled with satisfaction. With a thought, he withdrew the Fire Spirit Pearl and clapped his hands.

His demeanor was as calm as if he had just done something trivial.

"Gulp!"

Not far away, Duobao, after witnessing such a scene, couldn't help swallowing hard, his gaze toward Qin Mu filled with awe.

"Is Fellow Daoist Qin Mu this fierce?"

"A cultivator at the late Primordial Unity Golden Immortal stage, just burned alive like that?"
