Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Fire Spirit Pearl!

The moment he finished speaking.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal didn't wait for Qin Mu to respond. He brazenly chose to attack.

Boom!

In an instant, vast magical power surged from within him. He then brought his palm crashing down toward Qin Mu.

His palm strike condensed into a massive force, carrying terrifying magical power as it bore down.

The giant palm fell, tearing straight through the void.

"Huh?"

"Daoist Qin Mu, look out!"

Seeing this, Daoist Duobao couldn't help but turn pale.

He was only a Mystic Immortal. Faced with a being like a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he had no idea what to do.

The only thing he could do was warn Qin Mu to be careful.

"Stand back."

"Watch how I deal with him!"

Qin Mu said calmly.

Hearing this, Duobao hurriedly nodded and quickly retreated.

He knew very well that a clash between two Taiyi Golden Immortals was no place for him to get involved.

In the air, the Taiyi Golden Immortal heard Qin Mu's words and couldn't help sneering in contempt.

"What incredible arrogance!"

In his eyes, although Qin Mu was also a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he himself was in the late stage, just one step away from becoming a Great Principle Golden Immortal.

Qin Mu, on the other hand, was still only in the early stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Their strength was worlds apart.

Boom!

At the same time, the giant palm of magical power descended from the sky, bearing down over Qin Mu's head.

Its terrifying might made heaven and earth change color. Even space and time seemed to twist and warp under its pressure.

Beneath it, Qin Mu remained utterly unmoved.

Boom!

The next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly burst from within Qin Mu.

The moment it appeared, it shot straight into the sky.

The giant palm bearing down on him stalled for a moment under the force of that aura.

Right after, a crimson orb flew from Qin Mu's hand.

In less than an instant, the red orb came to a halt before him.

Rumble...

As the orb appeared, the temperature around them abruptly rose.

Then, flames suddenly ignited across its surface.

The moment they appeared, the flames swept across heaven and earth.

Their terrifying heat seemed capable of burning everything in existence to ashes.

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

The giant palm of magical power that had been bearing down on Qin Mu crumbled into nothing beneath the Fire Spirit Pearl's might.

"What?"

"An Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

When the Taiyi Golden Immortal saw Qin Mu bring out the Fire Spirit Pearl, his pupils trembled and his face filled with shock.

"How is that possible?"

"How could he have such a treasure?"

He stared in stunned disbelief, unable to accept what he was seeing.

After all, Innate Spiritual Treasures were exceedingly rare in the present-day Primordial Land.

And a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure like the Fire Spirit Pearl was rarer still.

Even a Great Principle Golden Immortal might not own such a treasure.

Moreover, most living beings in the Primordial Wilderness followed the path of Slaying the Three Corpses in their cultivation.

To break through from Great Principle Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint, one had to face the matter of Slaying the Three Corpses.

The key to Slaying the Three Corpses was using an Innate Spiritual Treasure as a vessel.

What shook the Taiyi Golden Immortal most was this:

Qin Mu was weaker than he was, yet he possessed such a treasure.

As he stood there in shock, Qin Mu gave a cold, mocking laugh.

"What?"

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

"If you're going to make your way in this world, you'd better have an Innate Spiritual Treasure at your side. Otherwise, you can hardly call yourself a cultivator of the Primordial Wilderness."

"How have you been getting by?"

At Qin Mu's taunts, the Taiyi Golden Immortal flushed with rage, his teeth grinding with a harsh "crack, crack."

He was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal and had never had much luck. How could he possibly own an Innate Spiritual Treasure?

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

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

After a brief pause, the Taiyi Golden Immortal retorted, a wicked thought rising in his mind.

He figured that if he could kill Qin Mu, not only would the Innate Spiritual Root be his, but Qin Mu's Innate Spiritual Treasure would be his as well!

At the thought, the Taiyi Golden Immortal's eyes immediately burned with greed.

But before he could recover from his shock,

Qin Mu willed the Fire Spirit Pearl into motion, sending it crashing straight toward the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Boom!

In an instant, the Fire Spirit Pearl became a streak of light and shot straight for him.

In less than a moment, it slammed down right in front of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Seeing this, the Taiyi Golden Immortal's pupils contracted. He hurriedly raised a barrier of magical power to defend himself.

Bang!

A deafening boom rang out.

The Fire Spirit Pearl smashed through the Taiyi Golden Immortal's defenses.

It struck him squarely in the chest.

A closer look showed that he had been sent flying, crashing straight into a mountain peak.

Rumble...

The mountain shattered with a thunderous crash, sending dust billowing into the sky.

Before long, the shaking stopped and the dust cleared.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal slowly rose into the air, looking utterly battered.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"He's still alive?"

Duobao, who had retreated far away, was completely dumbstruck.

"What?"

"You can use an Innate Spiritual Treasure like that?"

"Just bash people with it?"

Before Duobao could react, Qin Mu willed the Fire Spirit Pearl into motion again.

This time, he didn't send it crashing into the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Rumble!

The Fire Spirit Pearl hanging in the air suddenly shone with dazzling light, unleashing flames that blazed sky-high.

Then, the terrifying flames gathered and condensed into a long river of fire, sweeping toward the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Huh?"

The Taiyi Golden Immortal stared in astonishment.

Roar!

The next moment, he roared and transformed into his true form: a giant tortoise with dark scales covering its entire body.

"Pathetic flames! You think they can burn me to death?"

"I fear not even Samadhi True Fire!"

The giant tortoise roared, its voice shaking heaven and earth.

Hearing this, Qin Mu's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Is that so?"

"These are the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, one of the Ten Divine Flames, born at the dawn of the world!"

As he spoke, he pointed a finger. The flames sweeping toward the giant tortoise suddenly turned a brilliant silver.

The temperature soared in an instant, burning even space until it collapsed.

"The Nine Heavens Profound Fire?"

Panic finally seized the giant tortoise, and terror appeared in his eyes.

Before he could react, he was already engulfed in endless silver flames.

"Ah!!!"

His anguished screams rang across heaven and earth. The giant tortoise struggled wildly, pouring out his magical power with everything he had, but he couldn't extinguish the flames on his body.

In the end, he was burned to ashes in utter despair. Even his primordial spirit failed to escape!

Seeing this, Qin Mu smiled with satisfaction, willed the Fire Spirit Pearl back to himself, and dusted off his hands.

He looked completely composed, as if he had merely done something trivial.

"Gulp!"

Seeing this from a distance, Duobao swallowed hard, looking at Qin Mu with awe.

"Daoist Qin Mu is unbelievably strong!"

"A late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal was burned to death just like that?"
