The Heaven-Earth Bowl was a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure. When Gungun first obtained it, its name had merely sounded familiar, but later, it remembered where it had heard of this treasure before.
This treasure had appeared in the story of the Lotus Lantern. The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool had used it to cover Mount Hua and imprison the Third Holy Mother, preventing Chenxiang from easily rescuing his mother. He had been forced to head to Mount Kunlun to find the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe before he could split it open.
Though what the hell was that Heaven-Opening Divine Axe? Hadn't that treasure been dismantled long ago? How could it appear again? Gungun had never been able to figure that out, but one thing was beyond doubt: the Heaven-Earth Bowl was strong, incredibly strong. A mere sliver of power could never break it.
"Boom!" In an instant, a mass of solar true fire struck the Heaven-Earth Bowl. The next moment, the fire exploded with a heaven-shaking roar, yet the Heaven-Earth Bowl remained suspended steadily above the Iron-Eating Forest, releasing golden light that enveloped the forest. Gungun and the entire Iron-Eating Beast Clan within suffered not the slightest injury.
"Phew..." At the sight, Gungun rubbed its chest and let out a heavy sigh of relief. Then it spread its arms and shouted to all the Iron-Eating Beasts in the forest, "Don't worry, everyone! Our Iron-Eating Forest isn't the Wutong Forest. The Demon Race won't breach it so easily!"
"Is that so?" An immense, indifferent voice rang out. Then the streak of golden light that had shot toward them transformed into a cold-looking young man wearing the Sun-Moon-Stars Robe and the Primordial Heaven-Earth Crown, with a Heavenly Dao Imperial Mark between his brows. It was none other than Eastern Emperor Taiyi!
"Gulp..."
