Tianlu: The Heavenly Dao is a Miser!

Why did the Chaos Green Lotus disintegrate back then?

It was because its existence was too heaven-defying, exceeding the limits of what the Heavenly Dao could tolerate.

Although this Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus is currently only a Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, it contains the complete origin of the Chaos Green Lotus within it.

If it were allowed to continue absorbing the aura of creation and growing within the Primordial World, given time, there would be a high probability of it transforming and sublimating into the next Chaos Green Lotus, one that transcends the control of the Heavenly Dao.

As the maintainer of order in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of such an anomaly that threatens its own operation and escapes its control.

Therefore, the moment the Creation Green Lotus was born, the Heavenly Dao descended the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, intending to destroy it.

And Tianlu, as the master of the Creation Green Lotus, naturally became a target for the Heavenly Dao as well.

The Heavenly Dao descended the divine lightning with the intention of blasting both the person and the lotus into ashes.

Yet, the Heavenly Dao happened to encounter Tianlu, the greatest oddity in the Primordial World.

Tianlu is not only the first Pixiu, an auspicious beast in the world, but also a darling of the Great Dao, a Child of the Great Dao.

His existence is a special manifestation of the rules of the Great Dao within the Primordial World.

Although the Heavenly Dao governs the Primordial World, it still remains beneath the Great Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao were to forcibly descend divine lightning to kill Tianlu, it would be tantamount to openly defying the will of the Great Dao, causing a backlash against the Heavenly Dao's own operational rules.

The cost of such a backlash is something even the Heavenly Dao cannot afford.

Thus, this explains the comical scene from just a moment ago.

The Heavenly Dao wants to strike the Creation Green Lotus, but the green lotus is in Tianlu's hands.

The Heavenly Dao wants to strike Tianlu along with it, but the rules do not allow it to harm a Child of the Great Dao.

Consequently, the Heavenly Dao can only use this extremely awkward method, frantically descending Purple Heaven Divine Lightning all around Tianlu.

It is attempting to use this world-destroying power to intimidate and threaten Tianlu, forcing him to hand over the Creation Green Lotus out of fear.

After this series of meticulous thoughts, Tianlu finally fully understood his situation.

"Hahaha! I really am a darling of the Great Dao, a true Child of the Great Dao!"

Tianlu rolled around happily on the Cloud Treasure, his golden tail held high.

He felt the Creation Green Lotus resting safely in the space within his belly, then looked at the Tribulation Cloud rolling endlessly above that could do nothing to him, and a sense of unprecedented inflation surged in his heart.

Possessing so many heaven-defying and outrageous innate divine abilities, carrying the top-tier Xiantian Spiritual Treasure of the Primordial World, even the high and mighty Primordial Heavenly Dao dares not pluck a single hair from his head.

If this isn't a Child of the Great Dao, a darling of the Great Dao, then what is?

This is simply walking sideways through the Primordial World while holding a golden pass to immortality!

Just like that, faced with the intimidation and threats of the Heavenly Dao's Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, Tianlu not only felt no fear or desire to compromise, but instead completely let himself go.

He lay sprawled out on that mid-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure-level cloud, crossed his legs, hummed an unknown tune, and remotely controlled the cloud to drift wantonly through the vast and boundless Kunlun Mountain, braving the roaring Purple Heaven Divine Lightning that filled the sky.

Above the firmament.

Seeing that Tianlu not only ignored its majesty but even acted as if he were watching a show, the Heavenly Dao seemed to feel a great humiliation and was instantly enraged to the extreme.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Tribulation Cloud above the entire Kunlun Mountain expanded more than tenfold, blotting out the sun and turning the vast territory into a dark, sunless purgatory of thunder.

Streaks of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, as thick as water vats, poured down like a violent storm. The thunder roared and shook the nine heavens, and even the surrounding space was torn into pitch-black spatial rifts.

This terrifying celestial phenomenon instantly alarmed the countless living beings hidden within Kunlun Mountain.

"What a terrifying thunder tribulation! A heaven-defying treasure must have been born!"

"Purple energy rushes to the heavens, thunder turns into a sea; it must be a high-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, or perhaps even a top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure descending to the world!"

Many Primordial Unity Golden Immortal innate beings felt nothing but greed upon seeing the light of thunder filling the sky.

Thinking that a peerless spiritual treasure nurtured by Kunlun Mountain had been born and triggered a heaven-jealousy thunder tribulation, they transformed into streaks of light one after another, braving the immense pressure to dash toward the center of the thunder sea, hoping to snatch this heaven-sent opportunity.

However, when they approached the edge of the thunder and saw clearly that what was raging in the sea of thunder was not an ordinary tribulation, but the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning representing the destructive will of the Heavenly Dao, all their greed was instantly replaced by endless terror.

"Madness! That is Purple Heaven Divine Lightning! Is the Heavenly Dao trying to destroy the world?!"

"Run! To be tainted by even a trace of karma is to face death and the dissipation of one's soul!"

The Primordial beings who had arrived aggressively to hunt for treasure were scared out of their wits. They instantly abandoned all thoughts of snatching the treasure, scrambling and using every ounce of strength they had to flee frantically toward the outskirts of Kunlun Mountain, terrified of being swept up by the aftermath of the divine lightning.

Meanwhile, Tianlu, located at the very center of the sea of thunder, was experiencing a unique thunderous bath.

"Boom!"

A divine lightning bolt struck down from the left, carrying an aura that could destroy all things, but it was forcibly deflected a foot away from him, shattering a mountain peak instead.

"Crack!"

A divine lightning bolt exploded on the right, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot thunder dragon that roared as it arrived, but the moment before it could bite his tail, it let out a mournful cry, turned its head, and crashed into a lake, instantly evaporating the water.

Tianlu lay on the cloud, watching the "near-miss" stunts being performed on both sides, and sighed helplessly.

He slowly sat up, raised his eyes to look at the rolling Tribulation Cloud above, and shouted helplessly.

"I say, Heavenly Dao, that's enough, isn't it? It's just one spiritual treasure, do you have to be so stingy?"

"I picked up this treasure with my own ability, why should I hand it over to you?!"

Unexpectedly, this mocking and sarcastic remark from Tianlu only fueled the already volatile Heavenly Dao's rage even further.

"BOOM--!!!"

An unprecedented, earth-shattering roar exploded in Tianlu's ears.

It was as if the Heavenly Dao had been driven to lose its reason, with a hint of scarlet blood-red faintly emerging within the Tribulation Cloud.

Streaks of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning surged like a runaway torrent, striking down incessantly. The density was a hundred times greater than before, nearly turning the entire space where Tianlu stood into solidified thunder crystals.

However, rules were rules.

The status of Child of the Great Dao ensured that, just as before, the Heavenly Dao's storm-like attacks were all forcibly dodged the moment they touched Tianlu.

The space around Tianlu had been blasted into nothingness, yet not even a single golden hair on his body had been singed.

Facing this stubborn and relentless Heavenly Dao, Tianlu began to feel helpless.

This Heavenly Dao is such a stingy miser.

It's just a Creation Green Lotus, is it really worth chasing me and striking me incessantly like a bitter shrew?

Tianlu grumbled inwardly.

But there was nothing he could do; although he was the darling of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao could not strike him, he currently had no way to disperse this Purple Heaven Divine Lightning that represented the will of the Heavenly Dao.
