Land of Eternal Day

The Sunfire Moth Red Cloud had killed was seven meters long.

After Red Cloud dismembered the Sunfire Moth, its tender, juicy flesh was exposed, looking like jelly.

"This thing looks edible!"

Red Cloud was intrigued as well. He had eaten insects in his previous life, so he did not find them repulsive.

Besides, such a huge insect, once its shell was stripped away, looked like a dinosaur lying there.

Next, Red Cloud took a piece of insect meat, tried roasting it, and tasted it.

"Hmm? It tastes a bit like chicken!"

The Sunfire Moth's meat was tender and free of any fishy stench. With a little simple preparation, it became a delicacy.

Moreover, the Sunfire Moth's flesh was filled with Sun Power. Not only could it strengthen the body and improve one's resistance, but to mortals, it was practically a heavenly treasure.

"What a pity. It's of no use to me."

Red Cloud shook his head somewhat regretfully. For flesh to benefit him, it would need to at least come from a Golden Immortal-level creature.

If he could kill a Golden Immortal-level Sunfire Moth, Red Cloud could nourish himself with it as well.

Casually storing away the Sunfire Moth's corpse, Red Cloud picked up its dismembered shell. He summoned a ball of Samadhi True Fire to refine it, quickly producing a Radiant-Glow Feather Garment.

This Radiant-Glow Feather Garment was merely a Supreme-grade Dharma Artifact. To Red Cloud, it was cheap junk he could refine with a wave of his hand.

After putting away the Radiant-Glow Feather Garment, Red Cloud turned into a streak of light and entered the depths of the Land of Eternal Day.

The Land of Eternal Day was divided into the outer region, inner region, and core. The closer one came to the core, the stronger the living creatures became.

As he ventured deeper into the Land of Eternal Day, Red Cloud discovered that the light grew brighter and brighter, yet his vision became worse instead.

The light not only dazzled his five senses and six perceptions, but even affected his divine soul and divine sense. Red Cloud's heart tightened. This environment was far from friendly to him.

Therefore, Red Cloud slowed down and began sensing the world's laws within the Land of Eternal Day. Only by grasping a trace of the Sun Law could he move through this place like a fish in water.

After entering deeper into the Land of Eternal Day, Red Cloud discovered that quite a few species lived here.

Sunfire Moths, Flame Crows, Nine-Headed Golden Serpents, Sunflame Gryphons, and the like were all species of the Land of Eternal Day.

The Nine-Headed Golden Serpents and Sunflame Gryphons belonged to two different camps. The Nine-Headed Golden Serpents were affiliated with the Dragon Clan, while the Sunflame Gryphons were affiliated with the Qilin Clan. Flame Crows and Sunfire Moths belonged to the Phoenix Clan.

Although this was the final stage of the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan had all reached the height of their power.

The Three Clans carved up the Primordial World between them. Other races either submitted to one of them or vanished from the Primordial World forever. There was basically no third choice.

For that reason, Red Cloud had seen countless conflicts over the years between races belonging to different camps of the Three Clans.

The Land of Eternal Day was no exception. Flame Crows, Sunfire Moths, Nine-Headed Golden Serpents, Sunflame Gryphons, and the like fought every day, scarcely resting for even a single day.

Only by joining forces could the Flame Crow Clan and Sunfire Moth Clan contend with either the Nine-Headed Golden Serpent Clan or the Sunflame Gryphon Clan. The overall ecology stood in a three-legged balance.

This was also the Primordial World's current situation. The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan stood in a three-legged balance, as did the forces beneath them.

Red Cloud had no interest in the relatively weak Flame Crows and Sunfire Moths. After a glance, he left.

However, he paid close attention to the Nine-Headed Golden Serpents and Sunflame Gryphons, these two apex predators.

Nine-Headed Golden Serpents: snakes with nine heads, their entire bodies covered in golden scales. They could breathe fire and grew red fur that was as long and hard as pig bristles. Their cries were shrill, like the clacking of a night watchman's wooden clapper.

Sunflame Gryphons: horse bodies, bird wings, lion faces, leopard tails, and golden fur all over. When they flew through the sky, they radiated scorching Blazing Sun Power and were known as the practitioners of the sun.

In order to comprehend the Sun Law, Red Cloud actively sought out battles. Nine-Headed Golden Serpents and Sunflame Gryphons were his targets, for those two races had the greatest number of powerful members.

With Red Cloud's flying speed, he entered the inner region of the Land of Eternal Day within a few breaths.

Unlike the outer region, the Sunfire Moths, Flame Crows, Nine-Headed Golden Serpents, Sunflame Gryphons, and other creatures in the inner region could reach Golden Immortal level at their strongest.

Creatures at this level had value worth exploiting.

Red Cloud did not rush past.

He landed atop a mountain range in the inner region, drawing the attention of the nearby Sunfire Moths.

"Screech—!!"

Accompanied by shrill roars, a swarm of Sunfire Moths tore through the barrier of the sky and appeared before Red Cloud.

They were densely packed, blotting out the heavens and covering the earth.

The Sunfire Moths flew above Red Cloud, screeching and shrieking. Their scarlet eyes revealed a greedy hunger for flesh and blood, as well as hostility toward an intruder.

Yet intimidated by Red Cloud's aura, these Sunfire Moths were restless but did not dare launch an attack first.

A Sunfire Moth leader appeared. At the leader's roar, the Sunfire Moths attacked Red Cloud.

Rustling sounds came from their bodies. The eye-like flares on their wings, resembling sunspots, suddenly shot out beams of light.

Great Sun Power shot toward Red Cloud like javelins. The attack was like the Tang Sect's Storm Pear Blossom Needles, sealing off all directions and leaving him nowhere to retreat.

Red Cloud's expression did not change at the sight. The Sunfire Moth leader was merely an Early-Stage Golden Immortal, while most of them were below the Mysterious Immortal realm. To him, they were a rabble.

"Hmph, you don't know whether you live or die!"

A trace of coldness flashed through Red Cloud's eyes.

An invisible force erupted from within him.

Then, a fiery-red ripple swept across heaven and earth, directly dissipating the attacks flying toward Red Cloud.

"Bang! Bang bang!!"

Immediately afterward, countless Sunfire Moths stiffened. Their bodies began to twist, and amid explosive bangs, the Sunfire Moths burst into clouds of blood mist in the sky.

Looking at the blood mist filling the heavens, Red Cloud summoned the Lesser-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Firecloud Banner. Streams of mysterious light radiated from it, greedily drawing in the blood mist. Wave after wave of blood qi was refined by the Firecloud Banner into Firecloud Sand.

Firecloud Sand was a substance refined by the Firecloud Banner from the souls and blood of living beings. It could corrode divine souls and fleshly bodies, greatly enhancing the Firecloud Banner's offensive power.

The red sand within Ancestor Red Cloud's Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd was likely the Firecloud Sand from the Firecloud Banner.

The Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd possessed the formidable ability to trap immortals' forms, destroy immortals' bodies, and annihilate immortals' souls. Its primary means of attack was Firecloud Sand.

In the end, only one of the Sunfire Moths that had blotted out the sky remained—the Sunfire Moth leader.

Red Cloud casually took the Sunfire Moth leader's head, directly collecting its remnant soul.

The Sunfire Moth's flesh would be made into dishes by Red Cloud, while its remnant soul would be refined into Firecloud Sand.

After storing away both the Sunfire Moth's remnant soul and corpse, Red Cloud continued toward the depths of the Land of Eternal Day.

Along the way, Red Cloud swept through everything in his path. Whether Sunfire Moths, Flame Crows, Nine-Headed Golden Serpents, or Sunflame Gryphons, none could withstand even a single exchange with him.

Restricted by the environment of the Land of Eternal Day, the laws comprehended by its living creatures were basically related to the sun—either the Sun Law, the Fire Law, the Light Law, or their various branch laws.

As he battled powerful opponents, Red Cloud's comprehension of the Sun Law rose in tandem. He had already grasped a trace of the Sun Law, breaking through the barrier from zero to one.

Having comprehended a trace of the Sun Law, the Land of Eternal Day's effects on Red Cloud were greatly weakened.

Red Cloud's vision and perception recovered as well.
