Chaos Gourd, Might of an Innate Supreme Treasure!

Thunder raged, immortal energy rampaged.

Qiongqi looked down upon the innate deities present, his rolling dragon might shaking everyone's hearts. The ferocious dragon head in particular was majestic and domineering, billions of times stronger than before.

Washed clean of tribulation karma, his divine dragon body was reforged.

Now, in terms of background, Qiongqi was even deeper than Nuwa, Zhen Yuanzi, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Moreover, having transformed into a dragon, he was not bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao on his cultivation.

His realm had also broken through to Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

"Daoist Qiongqi, could you reveal your Great Luo Three Flowers?"

Tongtian's eyes flickered with light as he gazed at the billions-of-zhang dark golden dragon body, boundless envy rising in his heart.

As a top-tier great power, he too wanted to become a dragon knight!

At these words!

At East King Duke's signal, Qiongqi's three flowers gathered at the crown, his five energies returned to the origin. Wild dao resonance swirled around him, and the dragon blood within his body roared with surging thunder.

At the peak of the sky.

Dark clouds gathered thick, blotting out the sun's radiance. Purple Firmament Divine Thunder brewed in the Chaos Void, forming a faint resonance with Qiongqi's Great Luo Three Flowers.

"Great Luo Three Flowers, Rank Eight. Just as I expected!"

"Now, aside from his fortune not matching us Three Pure Ones, Daoist Qiongqi has surpassed me and Second Brother in realm. I'm afraid even the Ancestor Dragon of the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation had less potential than my eldest brother, Old Master Taiqing!"

Tongtian sighed and spoke slowly.

The reason Qiongqi had forged a dragon body and condensed Great Luo Three Flowers Rank Eight was largely due to the Ancestor Dragon Pearl. Even so, it was already this terrifying.

If it were the true Ancestor Dragon, he should be even more formidable than the Three Pure Ones.

"The Three Pure Ones are of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, bearing boundless fortune and protected by the Great Dao Merit Golden Wheel. In foundation, they are far beyond Qiongqi!"

"Now that the Chaos Gourd Vine has also matured, how about we fellow daoists divide the treasures here?"

East King Duke pointed toward Buzhou Mountain. The gourd vine coiled around the cliff face emitted a seven-colored divine light, then countless visions drew inward.

At the same time, the seven gourds manifested different divine abilities, each being a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"Great Good!"

"Then I, this poor daoist, will take this Purple Gold Gourd. It is just right for storing the Nine-Revolutions Golden Elixir I refine."

Old Master Taiqing sent out a stream of dharma power, collecting the largest Purple Gold Gourd. It landed in his right hand, radiating purple-gold divine light, brimming with immortal charm.

Seeing this!

Yuanshi and Tongtian acted together, taking the Green Skin Gourd and the Water Fire Gourd into their possession.

Fuxi, the sister-obsessed maniac, left the chance to take a gourd for Nuwa. Her jade hand gently plucked one.

In the original history, this gourd was refined by Nuwa into the Zhaoyao Banner, becoming one of the Demon Race's supreme treasures.

As for Hongyun, he put away the Nine-Nine Hongyun Soul Scattering Gourd. It contained endless red sand that could seize one's heart and soul, grinding a living being's primordial spirit to dust.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi collected the Immortal Slaying Gourd.

This gourd was refined by him into the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, which shone brilliantly during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation and became Lu Ya's lifebound treasure.

"Treasure, please turn around!"

This incantation, along with "Daoist, please stay your steps" and "This item has a connection with my West," were collectively known as the three great ominous curses of the primordial world, having slaughtered countless beings.

"That last Chaos Gourd seems not yet ripe. East King Duke, you are truly Great Good, letting us take the ripe gourds!"

"How about leaving the remaining gourd vine to Daoist East King Duke to handle?"

Old Ancestor Hongyun stepped forward.

The other six gourds blazed with brilliance, while the Chaos Gourd was wilted and limp, like a dog after seven rounds in one night, having suffered unimaginable exhaustion.

At these words, East King Duke couldn't help but glance sideways.

The number one great good man of the primordial world—truly worthy of the name.

Seeing Old Ancestor Hongyun say this, the other innate great powers were unwilling to lose face and contend with East King Duke for the gradually withering gourd vine.

Little did they know, this gourd vine was also an opportunity.

"Since all fellow daoists agree, This Emperor will obey with respect rather than courtesy!"

"Yin-Yang Furnace, refine!"

His hands formed dharma seals, and the vast Yin-Yang Law formed a ten-thousand-zhang furnace on the land of Buzhou Mountain, blazing with fierce Yin-Yang Divine Fire.

Then, the sea of fire pulled the Chaos Gourd and the gourd vine into the Yin-Yang Furnace, constantly tempering them with the Yin-Yang Law, aiming to complete the Chaos Gourd's innate restrictions and elevate it to an innate supreme treasure.

At the same time.

Qiongqi flew toward the Other Shore Starry Sky, using his thunder divine ability to draw the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer, bringing a sea of lightning covering half the void toward Buzhou Mountain.

Seeing this, the innate deities frowned slightly.

What exactly was East King Duke planning?

Not a moment later!

The Chaos Gourd Vine merged with the Chaos Gourd, erupting with chaotic dark light. Its phenomenon far surpassed the previous six gourds, and it gradually began to manifest the final Innate Restriction.

If the Innate Restriction were to reach completion, the Chaos Gourd Vine could break the rules and advance to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

"This Seat understands now. Fellow Daoist East King Duke intends to refine the Chaos Gourd Vine into an Innate Supreme Treasure, tempering its restrictions with the Yin-Yang Furnace, and using that Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer as its fundamental divine ability."

"Once unleashed, it can spontaneously create Chaos Divine Thunder, crushing enemies with boundless Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire. Its might far exceeds that of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

Yuanshi exclaimed, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Skilled as he was in artifact refinement, he now had to admire East King Duke's boldness.

After all, if it failed, that Chaos Gourd would become useless.

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Master Taiqing, Tongtian, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and other great figures drew in sharp breaths, unable to conceal the shock in their hearts.

They had never imagined that the Chaos Gourd was the true supreme treasure.

"Immortal Emperor, I have returned!"

At the Nine Heavens Summit, Qiongqi descended with the entire Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer.

Fortunately, he had reshaped his body and could use his innate divine ability to summon the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer; otherwise, only if East King Duke broke through to Quasi-Saint could this have been done.

Each had their own expertise—Qiongqi excelled at controlling thunder!

"Chaos Gourd, devour the thunder!"

With a light flick of his jade sleeve, East King Duke cast the Chaos Gourd into the Nine Layers of Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire.

The Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire was the true key to the Chaos Gourd's advancement.

Suddenly!

A vast suction force trembled, and the boundless Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer, as if summoned, was rapidly absorbed by the Chaos Gourd, evolving a Thunder World within it.

The final Innate Restriction was now complete.

Would it succeed?

The Innate Deities present were uneasy, but East King Duke was utterly confident. He withdrew his own magical power and walked to where the Chaos Gourd Vine had taken root.

His right hand became a sword, swinging fiercely.

The earth shook and mountains cracked, exposing the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil beneath the ground. The dense Wutu Qi made Zhen Yuanzi's eyes light up.

"This is Nine Heavens Breathing Soil. This Emperor discovered it first, so it belongs to me!"

East King Duke naturally noticed Zhen Yuanzi's eager expression, but since the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil was related to the birth of the human race, he directly stored it inside the Chaos Bead.

This Chaos Supreme Treasure, aside from its ability to conceal Heavenly Secrets, was likely most useful for storage.

Because East King Duke's cultivation was still low, even at Quasi-Saint Peak, it was difficult to unleash the full power of the Chaos Bead.

Compared to Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Jade Disk of Creation, the Chaos Bead was a Chaos Supreme Treasure with complete Chaos Restrictions and no damage whatsoever—its power was naturally incalculable.

"What a pity!"

"If This Humble One had obtained the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, he could have comprehended the Wutu Law and also cultivated another Ginseng Fruit Tree!"

Zhen Yuanzi sighed softly, his admiration for East King Duke growing even deeper.

Beside him, Old Ancestor Hongyun patted Zhen Yuanzi's shoulder, offering some comfort to his good buddy, while secretly refining his Nine-Nine Hongyun Soul Scattering Gourd.

At the summit of the clouds.

The Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Layer had vanished, leaving only the Chaos Gourd erupting with Thunder Divine Patterns. The thunder merged with the Chaos Qi Flow, actually evolving into Chaos Divine Thunder.

Its power was even more terrifying than the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder.

With a single strike, a Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal great figure would be severely injured at best or perish at worst; even an Early-stage Quasi-Saint great figure would have to think twice.

"Immortal Emperor, the Chaos Gourd has successfully advanced to an Innate Supreme Treasure!"

Qiongqi grabbed the Chaos Gourd, flew to East King Duke's side, and presented it with an utterly submissive demeanor.

Though the Chaos Gourd suited him, this supreme treasure belonged to his master.

The various Innate Deities stared at the Chaos Gourd, crackling with thunder, their spirits dimmed.

A miss is as good as a mile.

This Innate Supreme Treasure was not meant for them!

"This Chaos Gourd was originally forged by This Emperor for you. Refine its Innate Restrictions now—This Emperor's subordinates have no need for the weak!"

"Your strength is somewhat lacking!"

East King Duke's lips curled slightly. From beginning to end, he had never placed the Chaos Gourd in high regard.

Qiongqi possessed the body of a Thunderous Tyrant Dragon and commanded the Thunder Law. If he could comprehend the Dao through thunder and attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, that would be an unparalleled opportunity.

The Chaos Gourd was meant to be Qiongqi's Natal Supreme Treasure.
