Unfortunately, there was no such thing. Even after exhausting himself, it was useless, making him feel like he had become a joke among Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

The second time, he painstakingly comprehended speed-related divine abilities for a long time, while Emperor Jun had already reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

At first, they were evenly matched, making his efforts to comprehend those divine abilities worthwhile.

But that situation did not last long. Emperor Jun's growth was simply too fast.

In merely a thousand years, his speed had risen to another level, while Wutian had been left completely unable to fight back, subjected to the scorching of Solar Trueflame.

Had his master not bestowed the Eleventh Grade Black Lotus upon him back then, he might not have lasted long enough to become an Extraterrestrial Devil.

Now that he was an Extraterrestrial Devil and had rendered Emperor Jun helpless, Wutian finally felt a long-lost sense of joy.

Emperor Jun offered no response to Wutian's rampant arrogance, nor did he make any move, as though he truly had no way to deal with Wutian.

Wutian naturally did not let this chance slip by. Within Emperor Jun's Mind Realm, he mocked him to the utmost while continuously casting out the Laws of the Demon Path to tempt Emperor Jun.

He could sense the deepest desires in Emperor Jun's heart, so he continuously used Laws to lure him.

Do not think that his strength had stopped growing the moment he became an Extraterrestrial Devil. He could likewise comprehend the Heavenly Dao and grasp Laws.

It was simply that, as an Extraterrestrial Devil, he faced tremendous restrictions. He could only wield them within another's Mind Realm and could not truly use them in the material world of the Primordial World.

Faced with all this, Emperor Jun remained unmoved and was never tempted.

Wutian began to feel that something was wrong.

After their two encounters, he knew Emperor Jun was not the sort of being to await death helplessly.

Suddenly, a great sun appeared within Emperor Jun's heart.

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, Wutian was scorched the moment he saw the great sun.

"I am an Extraterrestrial Devil, Emperor Jun! How can you possibly hurt me?"

Layer upon layer of Laws of the Demon Path manifested within Emperor Jun's Mind Realm, protecting Wutian from the scorching great sun.

Emperor Jun did not explain anything in response to Wutian's astonished questioning.

Beneath the great sun, all demons and monsters scattered.

Emperor Jun had heard of Extraterrestrial Devils in his previous life, though he did not know much about them.

Yet based on that one point alone, Emperor Jun could infer some of their fundamental nature.

In his previous life, the most common explanation was that Extraterrestrial Devils existed to temper one's Dao Heart.

A Dao Heart?

It was nothing more than a powerful mind, steadfast will, and unwavering determination upon one's chosen Dao path.

Perhaps because he was a Primordial Deity, Emperor Jun had not devoted much effort to tempering his Dao Heart, yet the results had come quickly.

Especially after experiencing the later stages of the Dao-Devil Conflict Kalpa Tribulation, he had been growing at a rapid pace.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Jun's Mind Power was also exceptionally strong.

Faced with Wutian's various taunts just now, Emperor Jun had not paid much attention to them. They could not affect his state of mind.

Wutian actually knew this as well, because Emperor Jun's Mind Realm had remained utterly calm.

Meanwhile, Emperor Jun had tried to manifest the power of his mind within his Mind Realm.

And what Emperor Jun was most familiar with was none other than the Sun Star that had nurtured him.

Thus, the great sun appeared within Emperor Jun's heart and scorched the unprepared Wutian.

Seeing that Emperor Jun remained silent, Wutian knew he would not reveal the reason.

In truth, the moment the great sun appeared, Wutian had panicked.

Because as far as he knew, no being had yet been able to effectively restrain or harm an Extraterrestrial Devil. Not even Hongjun had any means to do so.

It was not that they lacked strength, but that they had no idea how to fight Extraterrestrial Devils.

Yet now, Emperor Jun was a being who had found the way.

However, Wutian swiftly changed his mindset and felt a surge of delight.

Now that tangible Mind Power had appeared within Emperor Jun's Mind Realm, as long as he shattered it, Emperor Jun's mind would surely suffer a devastating blow.

Then perhaps his chance to return to the Primordial World would arrive.

Defeat Emperor Jun, become Emperor Jun, and return to the Primordial World.

Wutian was extremely confident in this.

This was a clash of minds. There was nowhere to evade; they could only collide head-on. Emperor Jun's vaunted speed would be utterly useless here.

"Emperor Jun, do you think you can still rely on your speed? Your death is at hand. Rest assured, I will take your place and behold the magnificent lands of the Primordial World."

Wutian's tone remained arrogant.

Strands of Laws of the Demon Path swirled around Wutian and attacked the great sun within Emperor Jun's heart.

At that moment, one Law after another also appeared around the great sun.

Unlike Luo Hou's monotonous Laws of the Demon Path, the Laws surrounding the great sun were varied and mutually reinforcing.

These were all Laws Emperor Jun had comprehended.

The two sides began their direct confrontation. Laws tangled and collided with one another, constantly fighting for control of Emperor Jun's Mind Realm.

At that moment, Emperor Jun's calm voice echoed through the Mind Realm. "Wutian, have you forgotten that even without relying on speed, you and I were evenly matched back then?"

"Not to mention that so many years have passed. How could you possibly be my opponent?"

The instant Wutian heard Emperor Jun's voice, he sensed that something was wrong.

Emperor Jun's voice was too calm, without the slightest hint of panic.

Moreover, he could still speak through Mind Power in this situation, which meant he was clearly holding back.

Damn it!

Why is this fellow's strength always so impossible to gauge?

Wutian could not help cursing inwardly.

At that moment, the great sun within Emperor Jun's Mind Realm grew even more imposing. Solar Trueflame swept forth alongside strand after strand of Laws, attacking Wutian.

Just as Wutian had thought, a clash between minds could not be avoided. Wutian could only defend with all his strength and endure the successive attacks.

By then, Wutian had already begun thinking of retreat, searching for a chance to escape unscathed.

Emperor Jun naturally noticed Wutian's intentions. Solar Trueflame instantly filled the entire Mind Realm.

Seeing this, Wutian knew that if he did not leave now, he might truly be unable to leave at all. He had no desire to become the first Extraterrestrial Devil to die.

So he immediately fled Emperor Jun's Mind Realm, while Emperor Jun controlled the Solar Trueflame in an attempt to keep him behind.

After all, this was Emperor Jun's first encounter with an Extraterrestrial Devil, and his lack of experience prevented him from turning the entire Mind Realm into a cage in time. He only managed to retain a portion of Wutian's Origin Essence.

Using Mind Power to form Solar Trueflame, he refined that portion of Origin Essence and nourished his Mind Realm with it.

He wondered how long Wutian would need to restore the Origin Essence he had lost.

He was actually looking forward to meeting Wutian again.

But next time, Wutian likely would not be able to enter his Mind Realm so easily.

Emperor Jun used the refined Origin Essence of the Extraterrestrial Devil to develop his Mind Realm, while also using his own Mind Power to establish defenses there.

From now on, it would not just be Wutian. Even other Extraterrestrial Devils would be unable to casually invade his Mind Realm.

Unless a major flaw appeared in his mind or Dao Heart in the future, Extraterrestrial Devils would have no opportunity to exploit it.

Emperor Jun rose to his feet and stopped comprehending.

After all, his battle with Wutian had lasted only a thousand years, and in the later stages, Wutian could no longer place any pressure upon him.

With a thought from Emperor Jun, the Hetu Luoshu Diagram appeared in his hands.

Gazing at the Hetu Luoshu Diagram before him, he could not help thinking.

For the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to advance into a Primordial Treasure, it would surely require endless ages. However, there were some things he could begin doing now.

Because this era was the best possible era for the current Emperor Jun.

The Hidden Races had yet to emerge, the patriarchs of the previous era had already passed away, and the great powers of the next era were still being nurtured.

Just as Wangshu had said, Emperor Jun could completely dominate during this current blank period.

But Emperor Jun did not have such ambitions. He had no desire to establish another Demon Clan, nor did he wish to become the Demon Emperor.

Emperor Jun's thoughts shifted, and he decided that he could begin planning for the Hetu Luoshu Diagram's advancement into a Primordial Treasure.

He checked on Taiyi's condition and found that he was developing robustly, with his spiritual intelligence already beginning to emerge.

However, Emperor Jun guessed that most of Taiyi's spiritual intelligence was immersed in comprehending his inherited memories.

After all, Taiyi should still be largely blank at present, making this the perfect time to comprehend those inherited memories.
