Is This Divine Ability Proof That He Was a Pet of the Great Dao?

It was just that for Tianlu to use such a supreme divine ability to forcibly stir the River of Fate and reverse Law of Fortune came at an enormous cost.

This divine ability consumed a staggering amount of origin power to offset the Karmic Backlash of the Rules of the Heavenly Dao.

After using it, Tianlu's origin within his body had nearly run dry, and an irresistible exhaustion washed over him like a tide.

He barely managed to find a secluded cave before collapsing into sleep. That sleep lasted nearly ten thousand years.

When he opened his eyes again and examined himself internally, only to find that his origin had barely recovered, he could not help but curse inwardly.

He had been transported to the Primordial World for less than a hundred thousand years in total, yet he had slept for so long? Was this a joke!?

One-tenth of his time had passed in slumber. If he had been one of those Innate Divine Beings frantically striving to advance, he would probably have been left behind by the times already.

From then on, Tianlu secretly swore that unless his life was at stake or he encountered a target of immense value, he would never casually use this authority to strip away Law of Fortune.

Fourth, this divine ability had shocked Tianlu because he discovered that as long as he ate the fruit of a top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Root, he could perform Merit Absorption.

This ability had practically shattered the conventional cultivation system of the Primordial World.

One had to know that in the Primordial World, acquiring Law of Merit was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

One either had to follow the greater trend of the Heavenly Dao and enlighten all living beings.

Or one had to mend the flaws of heaven and earth and save the common people.

Yet Tianlu merely had to eat fruit. Moreover, this Law of Merit was not Heavenly Dao merit, but another kind of pure merit power.

Although Heavenly Dao merit was incredibly versatile and could be used to improve cultivation, refine Numinous Treasures, and resist karmic burden, it ultimately bore the imprint of the Heavenly Dao Will.

Using too much Heavenly Dao merit would forge extremely deep karmic ties with the Heavenly Dao, and one's future path of cultivation would inevitably be constrained by it.

The merit power Tianlu absorbed, however, carried a chaotic hue of mystery and yellow, as though heaven and earth had yet to be divided. It was pure to the extreme.

It contained no trace of any will of heaven and earth and was untouched by even the slightest Karmic Retribution.

Tianlu could not say what level of power it was. Perhaps it was the Great Dao Merit said to point directly toward the origin of the Great Dao, or perhaps it was some unknown form of origin power.

But he was certain that if this power were used to cleanse one's true spirit and elevate one's innate foundation, it would absolutely be an unparalleled supreme treasure in the Primordial World.

Fifth, Tianlu discovered that he possessed a conceptual divine ability.

Whenever someone intended to threaten him, they would automatically suffer misfortune.

This passive divine ability could be called the Primordial World's version of a Causality Weapon.

Within the foundational rules of the Primordial World, the moment any living being developed hostility or killing intent toward Tianlu, an invisible karmic thread would form between them.

Tianlu's divine ability would then automatically follow that karmic connection and pour the Law of Misfortune back into the other party.

As for how they would suffer misfortune, they would suffer it however they could.

There was absolutely no logic or common sense involved. For example, there had once been a ferocious beast descendant at the Golden Immortal realm lying in ambush, intending to launch a sneak attack on Tianlu.

Yet just as the beast prepared to pounce, the mana circulating within its body suddenly flowed in reverse. It suffered cultivation deviation and exploded on the spot into a cloud of bloody mist.

For another example, a ferocious bird at the early Taiyi Golden Immortal realm had dived down from the skies, intending to seize Tianlu, only for a mutation in the Nine Heavens Astral Wind to strike in midair. Its wings were shredded at once, and it fell into an abyss, smashing itself to pieces.

Such a decree ignored cultivation realms and acted directly upon the karmic level, granting Tianlu formidable self-preservation abilities in this crisis-ridden Primordial World.

Even Tianlu found it strange. How could a mere Pixiu like him possess so many heaven-defying divine abilities!?

Although Pixiu were Auspicious Beasts blessed deeply by heaven and earth, there were plenty of Auspicious Beasts in the Primordial World. During the height of the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin clans, which one had not possessed soaring Law of Fortune?

Yet even so, no one had ever been said to possess abilities that could disregard the rules of Creation and break the balance of heaven and earth like this.

Could I be a Child of the Great Dao?!

Tianlu had grumbled like this inwardly more than once.

As Tianlu lay upon Cloud Treasure and let it drift freely, he gradually fell asleep while deep in thought.

The Cloud Treasure he had forcibly elevated into a mid-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure emitted a gentle Xiantian Indestructible Spiritual Light, supporting his massive, mighty body as it drifted with the wind through the sea of clouds around Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Tianlu's thoughts gradually blurred, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Then he opened his mouth and began to snore soundly.

His sleeping posture was exceptionally uninhibited. He sprawled across Cloud Treasure with all four limbs spread wide, his huge mouth, which had a mouth but no anus, slightly open.

His steady breathing echoed through the mountains like muffled thunder. Every breath formed small spiritual qi whirlpools in the surrounding Xiantian Spiritual Qi, drawing them into his mouth.

As Tianlu slept, the void above him split open, and a bead suffused with the color of Chaos fell straight into his belly.

The scene was exceedingly strange.

That rift in the void emitted no spatial fluctuations whatsoever, as if some supreme power above even the Heavenly Dao had forcibly erased every trace of it.

Endless murky gray currents flowed across the surface of the Chaos-colored bead, which contained within itself a vast and boundless Chaos World.

Without deviating in the slightest, the bead fell with perfect precision into Tianlu's open mouth, slid down his throat, and entered the mysterious Creation Space within his belly.

"Strange... did something fall into my stomach? This must be an illusion, right?"

The instant the foreign object entered his belly, Tianlu smacked his lips drowsily, half-opened his bleary eyes, and mumbled.

He detected no discomfort within his body. After entering the Creation Space in his abdomen, the bead immediately fell silent, as though awaiting the nurturing and transformation of countless years.

Then Tianlu continued sleeping. He rolled over, adjusted into a more comfortable position, and sank back into his dreams.

He had no idea what that bead was that had fallen into the strange space within his belly.

It was the Chaos Bead, one of the Four Great Chaos Treasures of the Chaos World.

Even if Tianlu had known, he would not have cared.

After all, his various divine abilities had already made Tianlu begin to suspect that he was a Child of the Great Dao.

The kind second only to Pangu.

At present, Tianlu's cultivation stood at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

After nearly a hundred thousand years of accumulation, coupled with the innate advantages of being a Pixiu, Tianlu had long since condensed the Five Qis within his chest and attained the perfected realm of Five Qis Returning to Origin.

In the Primordial World of this era, where the War of Dao and Demon had only just ended, Hongjun had yet to become a saint and teach the Dao, and Daluo Golden Immortals had almost all gone into seclusion, a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal was already considered an overlord-level expert of one region.

He was only one step away from condensing the Three Flowers above his head and entering the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal.

And so, Tianlu drifted onward until he suddenly floated into a Xiantian Great Array.

The void ahead suddenly rippled like water. Cloud Treasure carried the sleeping Tianlu straight through the hidden array barrier without the slightest obstruction.
