Tens of Millions of Star Burst Grenades! The Three Races Begin Their Rise!

Following the original course of events, in the current Primordial World,

aside from reincarnated Demon Gods and the Three Ancestors, whose cultivation had reached the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm, most other living beings were still lingering within the Great Luo Realm.

With his current full strength, he was more than capable of facing a Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Early Stage head-on.

Though he could not yet run rampant without restraint, there were already very few beings capable of making him wary.

Taking the opportunity to travel and explore would be harmless enough. There would not be much risk involved.

"I'll follow Fellow Daoist Di Tian's arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu agreed without the slightest hesitation.

After cultivating together for several thousand years, her feelings toward Di Tian had gradually shifted from gratitude into affection.

Moreover, she had no pressing matters of her own, so naturally, she would not refuse to travel alongside him.

"Since you have no objections, then it's settled."

"However, safety must come first in all things."

"Before we set off, we should still prepare a few contingencies in case of unforeseen circumstances."

He himself did not need to prepare much.

For defense, he had the Black Lotus of Extinction protecting him. For offense, he had the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, which killed without accruing karma. For support, he possessed the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram.

The three together had turned him into a hexagonal warrior without a single weakness.

However, compared to him, Wang Shu was lacking by far more than a little.

All she had on her was the Northern Mysterious Origin Water Control Flag, which served as both defense and offense.

She had no other protective treasures at all. It was truly somewhat shabby.

It would be good if he could add a few more magical treasures for her.

As his thoughts stirred, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Di Tian's mind, and he immediately came up with an excellent idea.

Who said one could only obtain magical treasures through fortuitous encounters or by seizing them from others?

Couldn't he simply forge them himself?

It was not as though he lacked the necessary Artifact Forging methods!

"Fellow Daoist, you are the Taiyin Star God and cultivate the Supreme Yin Law and Star Law. The treasures best suited for you should be refined from items related to Taiyin."

"Did you bring any materials suitable for refining magical treasures when you came out this time?"

"If so, I can refine some protective items for you, so that you will not lack means to face enemies once we descend."

At Di Tian's question, a thoughtful look immediately flashed through Wang Shu's eyes.

After pondering briefly, she took out a three-inch-long branch from her Mustard Seed Space.

"This is a branch that naturally fell from the Moon Laurel Tree. When I was born, I saw it lying on the ground and stored it in my Mustard Seed Space."

"Though it is only three inches long now, once the sealing spell is removed, it will immediately become a branch a thousand zhang long and a hundred zhang thick."

"Excellent!"

Di Tian took the Moon Laurel Tree branch and discovered in surprise that the origin within it, as well as its Supreme Yin Law,

had not suffered much loss under the Array Formation seal.

This gave him even greater confidence that he could refine a divine weapon at the level of a postnatal spiritual treasure!

"Fellow Daoist Wang Shu, we will descend in three thousand years. If you have nothing else to do, cultivate here for now."

"I need to prepare some contingencies and refine a suitable magical treasure for you."

Having said that, Di Tian did not wait for Wang Shu's response. He turned and headed toward a solitary peak on the Ziwei Emperor Star that contained Ziwei Heavenly Fire.

As one of the ten great divine fires of the Primordial Wilderness, formed from the gathered starlight of the seven stars Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang,

Ziwei Heavenly Fire not only possessed terrifying killing power capable of incinerating heaven and earth and commanding all phenomena,

but also greatly reduced the mana required for its wielder to control it while in the Extraterritorial Starry Sky, while its explosive power rose dramatically.

It was also an excellent choice for Artifact Forging and Alchemy.

Especially when refining things related to stars, its effects surpassed even Samadhi True Fire and Six-Ding Divine Fire by a considerable margin.

Using this fire to refine the Moon Laurel Tree, an origin item of the Taiyin Star, could not have been more suitable!

Time passed, and three thousand years slipped quietly away. Di Tian descended from the solitary peak and returned to where the All Heavens Stars Fruit Tree stood.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Shu, this is the upper-grade postnatal spiritual treasure, Moon Laurel Sword, which I specially refined for you."

"It contains a trace of Supreme Yin Law and bears twenty-four postnatal restrictions. When swung, Silver Moon Divine Radiance lies hidden within it, and its killing power far exceeds treasures of the same grade."

"At full power, it can even contend with a Top Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure!"

Upon hearing this, joy and surprise immediately rose in Wang Shu's eyes.

After all, the branch she had given him was, plainly speaking, discarded material that had fallen from the Moon Laurel Tree who knew how long ago.

Its origin and Law had indeed been well preserved beneath the spell seal.

Yet the power it truly contained was less than one-third that of an actual branch from the Moon Laurel Tree itself.

Under such circumstances, Di Tian had still managed to refine such a powerful magical treasure. He must have put a great deal of thought into it!

"I've troubled Fellow Daoist Di Tian."

"No need to be so polite. It is all to increase our combat strength and ensure our personal safety."

In truth, refining this Moon Laurel Sword had consumed only one-third of the Moon Laurel Tree branch.

He had combined the remaining portions with Ziwei Heavenly Fire, Silver Moon Divine Radiance, and Star Radiance to refine Star Burst Grenades at the level of Middle Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasures.

As one-use self-detonating spiritual treasures,

their grade was only middle-grade, but once infused with mana and triggered to explode,

they could unleash power equivalent to the self-destruction of a Top Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.

One might not cause much damage to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but if tens of thousands exploded at once, even a Great Luo Perfection cultivator might not be able to withstand them.

And he had refined a full fifty-eight million, nine hundred and seventy thousand Star Burst Grenades.

Should an accident occur, even if they could not kill a Mixed Origin Golden Immortal, they would still be able to delay one long enough to give him ample time to flee.

Of course, this was far from his only contingency.

Through the All Heavens Stars Fruit Tree, he had also condensed quite a bit of Silver Moon Divine Radiance, Great Sun Divine Radiance, and Star Radiance.

He had fused them all into the Primordial World's Number One Healing Saint Medicine—the Three Lights Divine Water.

As for exactly how much he had prepared,

he truly had not counted.

Still, if he used it to bathe every day, it would probably take at least several hundred years to finish it all.

"Three thousand years have passed, and all preparations are complete. It is time for us to depart."

With that, Di Tian flew out of the Ziwei Emperor Star and completely sealed the Star Protecting Grand Formation, ensuring that no one could raid his home.

Only then did he finally put his worries to rest and lead Wang Shu toward the Primordial Land.

The years spent traveling were not as dull as Di Tian had imagined.

With a beauty at his side, chatting from time to time, comparing and confirming their Laws, and refining their three Companion Supreme Treasures,

his days were exceptionally full.

He even began to feel that the passage of time beneath an Eon had lost all meaning.

It seemed as though only a few blinks had passed before a thousand years went by.

They had also traveled from the depths of the Extraterritorial Starry Sky to the Primordial Land.

"Fellow Daoist Di Tian, where should we go?"

The two stood atop the Nine Heavens Cloud Top, gazing down at the scarred land below.

Though it was gradually recovering its vitality, it still could not conceal the devastation left by the great war several thousand years ago.

The Primordial World was so vast that no one could measure it.

At the end of the Ferocious Beast Calamity, more than seventy percent of Myriad Spirits had perished.

Thus, even though the Three Ancestors had ordered the burial and collection of the Corpse Mountains and Blood Seas that spread across the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, they could not possibly be cleared away in just a few thousand years.

From the clouds, Di Tian and Wang Shu could look in any direction and see beneath lush grasslands and forests, within trickling streams, and upon sheer cliffs and precipices,

the piled remains and severed limbs of countless races. Scarlet blood continued to flow, while flowers, grass, and trees rooted themselves in the corpses.

If one did not know the cause and effect, merely seeing such horrifying scenes would make one think this was the cultivation ground of some Demonic Path sect,

rather than the clear-skied, spiritually vibrant Primordial World that had only recently opened!

"As you saw earlier, as the races that gained the most from the Ferocious Beast Calamity, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races now all possess the strength to look down upon the Primordial Wilderness."

"After several thousand years of recuperation, all three have developed the momentum to devour heaven and earth and dominate an entire region."

"Whether the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races themselves or their subordinate races, they are all madly annexing other races at a visible pace."

"Before long, a new chaotic era of three-way rivalry will surely emerge."

As Di Tian analyzed the current situation, a final destination gradually formed in his mind.

"Let's go to the North Sea."

"The Dragon Race now dominates the eastern and western seas, the Qilin occupy the central lands, and the Phoenix Race is entrenched in the Undying Volcano Group in the south. Only the North Sea is still relatively peaceful."

"Moreover, the North Ming region was not greatly affected during the Ferocious Beast Calamity."

"The opportunities there should not have been plundered by too many people yet."

With a destination in mind, Di Tian and Wang Shu did not waste any more time. Together, they transformed into rainbow light and headed for the North Sea.

Fortunately, when they arrived on the Primordial Land, they had already been positioned closer to the north.

Had they been in the west or south, reaching the North Sea would not have taken merely a thousand years.

Because there were exceedingly few living beings in the North Sea, with only sparse islands scattered across its waters,

after entering the North Sea, the two spent several hundred years and found only three Ten-Thousand-Zhang Islands covered in ice and snow, inhabited by only a few sentient beings that had yet to gain intelligence.

There were no innate Array Formations or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on them. Even immortal herbs and divine medicines were few and far between.

Just as Di Tian began to wonder whether something had gone wrong with his luck,

and why he had been in the Primordial Land for so long without sensing even an ordinary fortuitous encounter,

a flash of delight suddenly appeared in Wang Shu's eyes. Pointing toward an island ten thousand li away, she cried out in surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Di Tian, look! Is that an Innate Five Elements Primordial Grand Array standing there?"
