What ferocious stellar winds!
Ao Li spoke in a low voice.
It was also her first time arriving in the Outer Starry Skies. She had not expected to encounter stellar winds so soon.
The stellar winds possessed extremely powerful destructive force.
Cultivators with weak physical bodies or insufficient cultivation would be directly worn away by the stellar winds until they perished completely.
Yet, she still had some confidence in her physical body.
Accompanied by a dragon's roar, multicolored light immediately flickered across every inch of Ao Li's dragon scales.
However, her body was still swept up by the howling, violent stellar winds.
For a time, that fierce force bore directly down upon her physical body.
Ao Li could not help letting out a muffled groan. Her physical body was indeed stronger than that of other living beings.
But she had still underestimated the power of these stellar winds.
Had it not been for the protection of her dragon scales, her body would likely have been directly ground away by the stellar winds!
Even though her dragon scales blocked most of the stellar winds, she was still in considerable pain.
Within several breaths, vast amounts of dragon blood had already spilled from her body, filling the void with a bloody scent.
Daoist Tongtian was not surprised by this.
The Dragon Clan's physical bodies were merely somewhat stronger than those of other living beings. Compared with the Witch Race, the gap was still immense.
It was only natural that she could not withstand the stellar winds.
"Do not force yourself. Enter the Linglong Pagoda first."
Daoist Tongtian spoke gravely. The instant his words fell, streams of mystical yellow energy spread outward.
In an instant, the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda floated above his head. Daoist Tongtian activated its power and directly drew Ao Li into it.
As for himself, he had no intention of using the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda for defense.
The power of an Innate Merit Treasure could naturally shield him from the destructive force of the stellar winds.
But he intended to use the stellar winds to temper his body, so naturally he would not rely on a spiritual treasure to resist them.
With a cold snort, a vast surge of blood and qi erupted from within Daoist Tongtian.
The stellar winds crashed fiercely into him. The blood and qi around his body were like a flame amid a raging storm, flickering precariously and scattering in wisps.
But his physical body was not something Ao Li's could compare to.
Thus, he still withstood the barrage of stellar winds.
"Turn!"
With a low shout in his heart, Daoist Tongtian directly circulated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, attempting to temper his body with the stellar winds.
In mere moments, the stellar winds had completely enveloped Daoist Tongtian's body.
Yet they caused him no harm at all, entirely resisted by his powerful physique.
Given the strength of his body, this little bit of stellar wind was simply not worth mentioning.
Daoist Tongtian then chose a direction and immediately flew toward it.
Whenever he encountered stellar winds along the way, he would directly position himself in their path and let them batter his body.
Meanwhile, he searched the Outer Starry Skies for the locations of the Sun Star and Taiyin Star.
The Sun Star and Taiyin Star were both exceedingly noble stars within the boundless Outer Starry Skies.
Their status even surpassed that of the revered Purple Star.
After all, the Sun Star and Taiyin Star were also connected to Pangu, having been formed from Pangu's left and right eyes.
The Sun Star was naturally the easier of the two to find.
The current Sun Star was the sun of the entire Primordial World. Thus, Daoist Tongtian merely needed to fly toward the brightest source of light to find it.
Moreover, the Sun Star possessed a second characteristic: the temperature around it was extraordinarily high!
With those two traits, finding it was no difficult task.
As he sped onward, Daoist Tongtian could feel the temperature in the void steadily rising.
At the same time, a massive star filled with endless dazzling brilliance appeared at the edge of his vision.
From afar, this star contained more than mere light. Red marks, like solar flares, clung to its surface.
Without question, this colossal star was one of his targets—the Sun Star!
With his target in sight, Daoist Tongtian immediately increased his speed.
As he drew ever closer to the Sun Star, he suddenly sensed waves of incomparably scorching flame.
Stopping to observe, Daoist Tongtian could not help feeling astonished.
What tyrannical flames!
The might released by those scorching flames was truly shocking.
"Could these be the Solar True Fires upon the Sun Star?"
"They have actually spread beyond the Sun Star itself."
"No wonder there is not a single star nearby. Even if other stars once existed here, they were likely burned into nothingness by the Solar True Fire."
Daoist Tongtian looked amazed. The Solar True Fire truly deserved its reputation as one of the ten great divine fires of the Primordial World.
It seemed he had thought too simply. Trying to temper his physical body with the Solar True Fire might be rather dangerous.
With his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to endure such powerful flames.
As the distance between them narrowed, cracks had already begun appearing across Daoist Tongtian's body.
Before he even reached the Sun Star, his physical body might be burned into nothingness.
"It seems I can only think of another method."
After pondering for a moment, Daoist Tongtian formed a hand seal and poured vast magical power into the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.
However, he discovered that the effect was not particularly good.
It was not that the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda's defensive power was too weak.
Rather, there was simply too much Solar True Fire.
Fortunately, Daoist Tongtian quickly thought of a method to counter it: another supreme treasure in his possession!
The Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, one of the Innate Five Element Flags and a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
This spiritual treasure was a supreme treasure of the water element.
It could even control Mystic Origin Water!
Using it to protect himself would surely allow him to approach and ascend the Sun Star.
With a sweep of his hand through the void before him, the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag immediately floated above Daoist Tongtian's head.
As magical power flowed into it, waves of water surged across its surface and cascaded downward.
They completely sheltered Daoist Tongtian within.
A cool sensation swept through his entire body, and the signs of cracking across his flesh disappeared.
Daoist Tongtian was delighted. As expected of a top-tier water-element spiritual treasure!
It truly could contend against the power of the Solar True Fire.
Thus, he flew directly toward the Sun Star.
He smoothly landed upon the enormous star, which was filled everywhere with Solar True Fire!
His first impression of the Sun Star was desolation.
The omnipresent Solar True Fire left this star with only light and scorching heat.
There was not the slightest sign of any living being or life.
At the center of the Sun Star.
Dijun and Taiyi, who had been cultivating in enlightenment, opened their eyes at the same time.
The Sun Star was where the two of them had taken form and cultivated the Dao.
Furthermore, they were the only two brothers upon the Sun Star. Therefore, the instant this uninvited guest, Daoist Tongtian, set foot on the Sun Star, they sensed his aura.
"How strange. The Sun Star is covered in Solar True Fire."
"Other than us Three-legged Golden Crows, could there truly be someone in the world who does not fear Solar True Fire?"
A hint of confusion flashed through Taiyi's eyes.
Dijun said in a deep voice, "The Sun Star is our cultivation ground. Whoever it is, they have no right to come here."
"Come. Let us meet this person."
The two immediately rushed toward Daoist Tongtian's location.
Daoist Tongtian had finished surveying his surroundings and was wondering why he had not seen Dijun or Taiyi.
There were no other auras on the Sun Star, indicating that the brothers Dijun and Taiyi should have already taken form.
Could the two have left the Sun Star to cultivate upon other stars?
Just as he was considering this, he sensed two auras rapidly approaching.
At that moment, an angry rebuke exploded through the air.
"Impudent! What Daoist dares ascend the Sun Star without our permission?"
"This place already has masters. Leave at once, and we may choose not to pursue the matter."
After Dijun coldly finished speaking, he and Taiyi appeared together.
Upon seeing the two emerge, Daoist Tongtian immediately understood that they had likely been in secluded cultivation.
They had sensed his aura and only then emerged to stop him.
"I am Shangqing Tongtian, a Pangu Sect Disciple. I intend to borrow your treasured land to temper my physical body."
"Once I have finished tempering it, I will leave of my own accord."
"I hope the two of you can grant me this favor."
Daoist Tongtian explained with a smile, declaring his origins and background.
Dijun and Taiyi were both peak Innate Great Beings.
Furthermore, the Demon Clan and Witch Race were both among the protagonists of the Witch-Demon Tribulation.
Thus, he remained rather courteous toward them.
Yet Dijun and Taiyi were highly dissatisfied by his words.
The Sun Star was the territory of their Three-legged Golden Crow clan!
Why should they lend it to a Daoist to temper his body?
As for the title of Pangu Sect Disciple, they did not care. The Sun Star itself had been formed from one of Great God Pangu's eyes, so what of it?
In any case, the Sun Star was now their cultivation ground and territory.
Dijun frowned, considering whether to refuse Daoist Tongtian.
At this moment, Taiyi revealed a greedy expression and said in a low voice, "Brother, look at the spiritual treasure beside that Daoist."
"That is surely a top-tier spiritual treasure, perhaps even a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
"Waterlight flows across it. It should be a water-element spiritual treasure. He must be relying on that Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure to withstand the might of the Solar True Fire."
At those words, a gleam also flashed in Dijun's eyes.
A Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
That was an exceptionally precious top-tier spiritual treasure!
He had not expected this Daoist to possess such good fortune.
However, neither of them felt any fear, because both brothers had obtained accompanying spiritual treasures when they took form.
Taiyi in particular possessed the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, as his accompanying spiritual treasure!
But no one would complain about possessing too many spiritual treasures, especially a top-tier treasure of the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure rank.
Any one of them could greatly increase their combat power.
Thinking this, Dijun sneered. "A Pangu Sect Disciple? So what!"
"You Daoist trespassed upon our cultivation ground. You should have died for such an offense."
"But if you are willing to hand over that Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, you may be spared from death."
Taiyi also chimed in, "That is right. Hand over that Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure at once!"
"Otherwise, since you trespassed upon our cultivation ground, do not think you will leave so easily."
Hearing this, Daoist Tongtian laughed.
He did not know whether to call the two ignorant or arrogant.
They disregarded the name of a Pangu Sect Disciple, yet had their eyes fixed on his Mystic Origin Water Control Flag?
Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say.
It seemed courtesy truly had no meaning in the Primordial World.
One still had to speak with one's fists!
"Heh."
With a disdainful laugh, Daoist Tongtian's aura abruptly surged in the next moment.
When he had entered the Outer Starry Skies, he had suppressed his aura to the early stage of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Now, he directly restored his aura to its peak.
His late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation was fully revealed, and his formidable aura spread outward without end.
The reason Dijun and Taiyi had not regarded Daoist Tongtian, a Pangu Sect Disciple, seriously—
Was not merely because the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure had blinded them with greed.
It was also because they had sensed that Daoist Tongtian's cultivation was not particularly strong.
That was why they had been so fearless and demanded that Daoist Tongtian hand over his spiritual treasure.
But as Daoist Tongtian fully unleashed his aura, the two were instantly horrified.
Late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
This Daoist Tongtian was actually a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
That shameless fellow had actually concealed his cultivation!
Had they sensed it from the beginning, the two would most likely have humored him for a while rather than immediately tearing off all pretense.
But now they were already too late. After cultivating upon the Sun Star for many years since taking form, the two had only reached the early stage of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Tongtian's cultivation was two realms higher than theirs!
"Brother, it wasn't as though we had no chance."
"It was two against one. The advantage was ours."
"Besides, it wasn't as though we lacked powerful spiritual treasures."
Taiyi did not dwell on it for long before speaking in a low voice.
Dijun nodded slightly. Indeed, they did not stand no chance of winning.
The two exchanged a glance and erupted with their full auras at the same time.
Tongtian's expression remained calm, though he was somewhat surprised inwardly.
These two truly possessed remarkable cultivation talent.
Among the Innate Great Beings that had currently taken form in the Primordial World, few were likely stronger than them.
They were merely one step away from the Mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
"Kill!"
At that moment, Dijun and Taiyi launched their attacks without hesitation.
Now that they had torn off all pretense, they had nothing to hold back.
Dijun formed a hand seal with one hand, and a dazzling beam of light immediately tore through the sky.
Tongtian remained expressionless. Shielded by the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, he suddenly threw out a punch.
Rumble!
The mass of light was instantly crushed apart and vanished without a trace.
Dijun's pupils narrowed slightly.
This man's physical body was incredibly powerful!
No wonder he had come to the Sun Star. He must have intended to use the power of the Solar True Fire to further temper his body.
Taiyi had already charged before Tongtian, unleashing a fierce divine ability as he attacked.
Tongtian did not use any divine ability. The power of his vital essence and blood surged endlessly within his body.
A single punch sent Taiyi flying.
Taiyi steadied himself, his expression turning solemn.
What a powerful physical body!
Combined with his Late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, if the two brothers did not go all out, they likely had no chance of defeating him.
The two exchanged another glance and unleashed the Solar True Fire simultaneously.
Buzz!
In an instant, two incomparably terrifying, dazzling flames floated in the void. Under their joint control, even the Solar True Fire on the Sun Star was drawn forth.
"Solar True Fire, burn mountains and boil seas."
"It was not too late for you to surrender now!"
Taiyi spoke with a cold expression.
Tongtian showed no fear whatsoever. He also wanted to see just how powerful the Solar True Fire truly was!
Seeing that Tongtian refused to recognize death, both of them grew angry.
They immediately sent the Solar True Fire straight at him.
Rumble!
Flames spread across the heavens and earth, burning fiercely through the void. The temperature in the air soared at once, and within moments, it had transformed into a sea of fire.
The vast sea of fire formed a ring, trapping Tongtian within it.
Under the brothers' control, the ring of fire began shrinking at a visible rate.
The ever-rising, scorching heat made Tongtian take things seriously as well.
The Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill circulated madly, and surging power of vital essence and blood churned endlessly within him.
Boom!
With one punch, he blasted open an exit through the sea of fire.
Before the sea of fire could repair itself, a cry rang out from within the blazing flames. A Three-legged Golden Crow several meters long slammed viciously toward Tongtian.
Before you continue
