Hiss!

In an instant, the gods within the Innate Great Array near Mount Buzhou could not help but tremble inwardly.

Had they heard that?

Heaven?

Had Heaven descended upon Buzhou?

However, before they had time to think it through, they were drowned out by wave after wave of furious roars from the Fierce Beasts.

Roar!!!

Roar!!!

Roar!!!

Trillions upon trillions of Fierce Beasts suddenly raised their heads, their gazes fixed on the figure above, who seemed to exist between reality and illusion.

Among them were none other than Chaos, Qiongqi, Taotie, and Taotie—the Four Great Fierce Beasts!

Their auras were terrifying, and their roars shook the heavens!

If they had been any other cultivators who had yet to Prove the Dao, they would have long since been terrified and fled into the distance.

But Lei Jun was different.

Instead, he curled his lips into a smile.

"Let's try the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation first!"

He chuckled softly.

Lei Jun raised his right palm high, as if lifting the thunderclouds.

Then,

He flipped his palm and suddenly pressed downward.

Rumble!

Thunder rang out across the heavens!

For Lei Jun now, casting the Seven-Nine Lightning Tribulation required only a thought.

The Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation would not take much time either.

Moreover,

Lei Jun held a trace of Heavenly Dao Authority.

In the time it took to chat and laugh,

The Thunder Tribulation had already undergone a qualitative transformation.

It was purple turning black, black turning purple, with an aura of Destruction mixed within.

This was the sign of the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation!

It had touched upon Chaos!

In an instant, lightning covered heaven and earth.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The Fierce Beasts vaporized in an instant, along with the baleful energy left behind after their deaths!

For a time,

The mountains grew bright and the waters clear, while the sky was clear and the air fresh!

The baleful energy that had saturated Mount Buzhou for countless Eons was further diluted at this moment.

Some light even pierced through the baleful karma and shone down upon the earth, illuminating Mount Buzhou and making it appear even more majestic and handsome!

With that single move, Lei Jun could clearly feel that the amount of Heavenly Dao power he could mobilize had increased!

This was the Great Dao's reward to him after he had annihilated a vast number of Fierce Beasts.

Invisibly, it had raised his status once more!

"The baleful energy has decreased, and the burden on the Primordial Wilderness has lightened!"

"Not bad!"

Lei Jun nodded in satisfaction.

It could only be said that the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation truly lived up to its name, having already touched the limits of the Thunder Tribulation.

Its power was indeed extraordinary.

Trillions upon trillions of Fierce Beasts could not put up the slightest resistance beneath the Thunder Tribulation.

Afterward, Lei Jun once again began his treasure-picking journey.

Lei Jun's harvest this time was immense.

Three Lights Divine Water, Nine Heavens' Breathing Earth, Innate Li Fire, Innate Wu Earth...

Many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were taken into his possession.

Not only that, there were Spirit Treasures as well!

And there were quite a few of them.

A rough count showed several dozen.

There were no lower-grade ones.

They were all middle-grade, or even higher!

However, there were no Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasures.

This left Lei Jun slightly regretful, while also making him somewhat puzzled.

"That shouldn't be right!"

"By all rights, after exterminating so many Fierce Beasts, and not weak ones at that, moreover, this is Mount Buzhou—how could there not be some good things?"

Although a few Spirit Treasures were not particularly useful to Lei Jun,

The feeling of failing to pick up a great treasure left him displeased.

"It shouldn't be my problem!"

"You've got to be kidding!"

"How heaven-defying is my Source of Blessing?"

Lei Jun shook his head and did not investigate further.

As for Spirit Treasures and the like, having them was naturally good, but he would not force the matter if he did not.

By comparison, he was more concerned about Spirit Roots.

These were treasures that benefited both his strength and his realm!

Especially if he transplanted these Spirit Roots into the Small World within his body, they could grow together with the Small World!

This was a win-win situation.

"Lower-grade Spirit Roots, countless."

"More than ten thousand middle-grade Spirit Roots!"

"There are also over a hundred superior-grade Spirit Roots!"

"Supreme-grade Spirit Roots... not a single one."

After taking stock of his harvest, Lei Jun felt slightly regretful.

There were many Spirit Roots.

But the most top-tier Spirit Roots were absent.

"What a pity. I'll have to come back and ransack the place another time..."

The thought had only just arisen

When Lei Jun suddenly stopped. He discovered that among his harvest was a special item.

Because it was far too tiny, Lei Jun had nearly overlooked it.

If not for that flash of Spiritual Light just now, he truly would have missed such a Supreme Treasure!

Lei Jun gently closed his palm, and when he opened it again, a seed had appeared in his hand.

The seed was solid and slightly heavy in his palm.

Of course, it was not physical heaviness, but rather a sensation.

"Interesting."

Lei Jun was extremely surprised.

This seed was extraordinary.

As he thought,

Lei Jun formed a hand seal with one hand.

He calculated its origins.

Surprise and delight appeared in his eyes.

"This seed is actually the World Tree Seed, a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Root?"

Lei Jun calculated the origin of the seed and could not help clicking his tongue in wonder.

Because this seed was simply too useful!

It suited Lei Jun perfectly!

"My world has quite a few Spirit Roots and spiritual items, but what it truly lacks is a Supreme Treasure to suppress an entire world!"

"Now that I have this seed, everything is complete!"

Once the thought settled, Lei Jun immediately planted the World Tree Seed at the center of the Small World within his body.

Rumble!

The instant the seed fell, a small sprout poked out of the soil.

In that moment,

Lei Jun felt that the countless Particle Worlds within his body had begun to connect, becoming a single entity.

Their roots burrowed into the soil, transforming them into its nourishment.

At the same time, they nourished the Small World in return!

"This is only a sapling. Once it reaches Lesser Success, the worlds within my body will be completely connected."

"What if it reaches Greater Success?"

"Will my world ascend in dimension and reach the same status as the Primordial World? Perhaps one day, it could even become Chaos!"

Upon seeing this scene,

Lei Jun was very satisfied.

His mind was filled with anticipation for the future.

"Hmm?"

Vaguely, Lei Jun suddenly sensed an extremely special place nearby.

It seemed to be an Innate Great Array.

But its level was clearly higher than that of Fu Xi and Nüwa's array. With Lei Jun's realm, he had only managed to sense the slightest trace of its aura.

What did that mean?

Lei Jun had already completed several transformations.

Compared to when he had encountered Nüwa, he was more than ten thousand times stronger!

It was clear that the existence within this Innate Great Array had an extraordinary origin and had received Pangu's deep favor and care.

Very soon, Lei Jun guessed what was inside.

The birthplace of the Twelve Ancestral Mages!

At the same time,

The Ancestral Mages, who were still in the state of Origin Essence Blood, also sensed a familiar will in the darkness.

As Pangu's Orthodox Lineage,

Besides Pangu, who else could make the Ancestral Mages feel familiar?

"Father God?"

"It must be Father God!"

"Father God has not fallen. That will is like a towering mountain, boundless and immovable. It must be Father God!"

The two Ancestral Mages were so excited that they wept bitterly.

It was as if lost babies had found their father,

And the joy came from the bottom of their hearts.

However, very soon,

They realized something.

"Something's not right!"

"If Father God has descended, why does he seem so unfamiliar to us?"

"Besides, if he truly were Father God, he should not be outside the hall!"

"That makes sense!"

The Ancestral Mages communicated through their wills.

They were not fools, and it was easy for them to discover the clues.

"Hmm? Elder Brothers, I seem to feel that the world outside has become much clearer. The Innate Turbid Qi also seems to have decreased. Is it just my imagination?"

Among the Twelve Ancestral Mages, the consciousness within the smallest mass of Origin spoke with this doubt.

She was Hou Tu Zu Wu of later generations.
