"What fierce stellar winds!" Ao Li said in a deep voice.
This was her first time in the Outer Starry Skies, and she hadn't expected to encounter stellar winds so soon.
Stellar winds possessed extremely strong destructive power.
Cultivators with weak physical bodies or insufficient cultivation would be directly eroded by the stellar winds until they perished.
However, she still had some confidence in her physical body.
Accompanied by a dragon's roar, Ao Li's scales began to shimmer with five-colored light.
Despite this, her body was still engulfed by the fierce, howling stellar winds.
For a moment, the powerful force directly impacted her physical body.
Ao Li couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Her physical body was indeed stronger than other beings, but she had still underestimated the power of these stellar winds.
If not for the protection of her dragon scales, her physical body would likely have been completely eroded by the stellar winds!
Even though her dragon scales blocked a large portion of the stellar winds, she was still suffering greatly.
Within a few breaths, a lot of dragon blood had spilled from her body, and a bloody scent permeated the void.
Tongtian was not surprised by this.
The physical bodies of the Dragon Clan were only stronger than other beings in the world, and there was still a significant gap compared to the Witch Race. It was normal that they couldn't withstand these stellar winds.
"Don't force yourself. Go into the Linglong Pagoda first," Tongtian said in a deep voice. As his words fell, a wave of mysterious yellow energy spread out.
Instantly, the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda appeared above his head. Tongtian activated its power and directly drew Ao Li's form into it.
As for himself, he had no intention of using the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda for defense.
The power of the Innate Merit Treasure could naturally protect him from the destructive effects of the stellar winds. However, he intended to use the stellar winds to temper his body, so he wouldn't rely on the power of a spiritual treasure to resist them.
With a cold snort, a large amount of Bloodline Power surged from within Tongtian. The stellar winds slammed into him, and his Bloodline Power was like a flame in a storm, flickering and scattered.
But his physical body was not comparable to Ao Li's. Therefore, he still managed to withstand this barrage of stellar winds.
"Rotate!" he thought, and Tongtian immediately circulated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, attempting to temper his physical body with the stellar winds.
After a moment, the stellar winds completely enveloped Tongtian's physical body. However, they caused him no harm, as his powerful physique completely resisted them.
Given the strength of his body, these stellar winds were simply not enough to pose a threat.
Therefore, Tongtian chose a direction and immediately flew towards it.
Along the way, whenever he encountered stellar winds, he would directly intercept them, allowing the winds to directly empower him.
Meanwhile, he was searching for the locations of the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star in the Outer Starry Skies.
The Sun Star and the Taiyin Star were extremely revered celestial bodies in the vast and boundless Outer Starry Skies, holding a status even higher than the esteemed Ziwei Star. After all, the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star were also connected to Pangu, having been formed from his left and right eyes.
Among them, the Sun Star was naturally the easiest to find. The current Sun Star was the sun of the entire Primordial World, so Tongtian only needed to fly in the direction of the most intense light to successfully find it. Furthermore, the Sun Star had a second characteristic: the extremely high temperature in its vicinity! With these two features, finding it was not difficult.
As he flew, Tongtian could feel the temperature in the void continuously rising. At the same time, a massive star filled with endless, brilliant light appeared at the end of his vision. From afar, this star was not just emitting light; it was also covered in red streaks like solar flares. Without a doubt, this colossal star was one of his targets: the Sun Star!
With his target in sight, Tongtian immediately increased his flying speed. As he got closer and closer to the Sun Star, he suddenly felt waves of incredibly scorching flames. He stopped and observed, and Tongtian couldn't help but be astonished. What a powerful flame!
The power emanating from this scorching flame was astonishing.
"Could this be the Solar True Fire from the Sun Star?"
"It's actually leaked outside the Sun Star."
"No wonder there isn't a single star nearby. Even if other stars once existed, they were likely burned to nothingness by the Solar True Fire."
Tongtian marveled, the Solar True Fire truly lived up to its reputation as one of the ten great divine fires of the Primordial World.
It seemed his plan was a bit too simplistic. Trying to temper his physical body with the Solar True Fire might be quite dangerous.
With his current cultivation, he couldn't possibly withstand such a powerful flame.
As the distance between them shortened, Tongtian's physical body began to show signs of cracking.
He feared his body would be incinerated into nothingness before he even set foot on the Sun Star.
"It seems I'll have to find another way."
Tongtian pondered for a moment, forming a hand seal and channeling vast magical power into the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.
However, he found that the effect wasn't very good.
It wasn't that the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda's defense was too weak.
It was simply that the quantity of Solar True Fire was too overwhelming.
Fortunately, Tongtian quickly thought of a way to counter it – another supreme treasure he possessed!
The Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, one of the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and one of the Five Elements Flags.
This spiritual treasure was a premier artifact for water elements.
It could even control the Mystic Origin Water!
Using it to protect himself would surely allow him to approach and land on the Sun Star.
With a wave of his palm in the air before him, the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag immediately hovered above Tongtian's head.
As magical power was infused, waves of water surged and cascaded down from it.
Completely shielding Tongtian's form.
A cool sensation washed over his entire body, and the cracking on his skin disappeared.
Tongtian rejoiced inwardly, "As expected of a top-tier water element spiritual treasure! It can indeed resist the power of the Solar True Fire."
With that, he flew directly towards the Sun Star.
He successfully landed on the colossal star, which was completely filled with Solar True Fire!
His first impression of the Sun Star was one of desolation.
The ubiquitous Solar True Fire left the star with nothing but light and heat.
There was absolutely no sign of any creatures or life.
At the center of the Sun Star.
Dijun and Taiyi, who were in the midst of enlightenment and cultivation, simultaneously opened their eyes.
The Sun Star was where the two of them had taken form and cultivated.
Furthermore, they were the only two beings on the Sun Star. Thus, the moment Tongtian, an uninvited guest, landed, they immediately sensed his presence.
"How strange, the Sun Star is covered in Solar True Fire everywhere."
"Besides us Three-legged Golden Crows, is there anyone else in this world who can fearlessly withstand the Solar True Fire?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Taiyi's eyes.
Dijun said gravely, "The Sun Star is our dojo. No matter who it is, they are not qualified to be here."
"Let's go. We'll go meet this person."
The two immediately rushed towards Tongtian's location.
Tongtian had already finished surveying his surroundings and was wondering why he hadn't seen Dijun and Taiyi.
There were no other presences on the Sun Star, which indicated that the brothers Dijun and Taiyi should have already taken form.
Could they have left the Sun Star and gone to cultivate on other stars?
As he was thinking, he felt two auras rapidly approaching.
At that moment, an angry shout erupted.
"Presumptuous! Who are you, Daoist, to dare to ascend the Sun Star without our permission?"
"This place is already occupied. Leave quickly, and we can let it go."
Dijun said coldly, and he and Taiyi appeared together.
Seeing them appear, Tongtian immediately understood. These two must have been in seclusion for cultivation.
Upon sensing his presence, they had emerged to block him.
"I am a disciple of Pangu, Shangqing Tongtian. I intend to borrow your esteemed land to temper my physical body."
"Once the tempering is complete, I will depart of my own accord."
"I hope you two fellow Daoists will grant me this favor."
Tongtian explained with a smile, revealing his origins.
Dijun and Taiyi were both top-tier innate powerful beings.
Furthermore, the Demon Clan and Witch Race were both central figures in the Witch-Demon Tribulation.
Therefore, he was polite to these two.
However, Dijun and Taiyi were extremely displeased upon hearing this.
The Sun Star was the territory of their Three-legged Golden Crow!
Why should they lend it to a Daoist to temper his physical body?
As for being a disciple of Pangu, they didn't care. The Sun Star was formed from one of Great God Pangu's eyes, so what of it!
In any case, the Sun Star was now their dojo and territory.
Dijun frowned, contemplating whether to refuse Tongtian.
Taiyi, meanwhile, revealed a greedy expression and whispered, "Brother, look at the spiritual treasure beside this Daoist."
"That must be a top-tier spiritual treasure, very possibly a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
"Waterlight flows upon it, suggesting it's a water-element spiritual treasure. He must be relying on this top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure to withstand the might of the Solar True Fire."
Dijun's eyes also gleamed upon hearing this.
A top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
That was an extremely precious, top-tier spiritual treasure!
He hadn't expected this Daoist to be so lucky as to possess one.
However, the two of them felt no apprehension, as they had also obtained accompanying spiritual treasures when they took form.
Especially Taiyi, whose accompanying spiritual treasure was none other than the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell!
But no one would dislike having more spiritual treasures, let alone a top-tier spiritual treasure of the caliber of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Any single one of them could significantly boost their combat power.
With this thought, Dijun sneered, "A disciple of Pangu? So what!"
"You Daoist have trespassed into our dojo without permission; you should have died long ago."
"However, if you are willing to hand over this top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, you may be spared your life."
Taiyi chimed in, "Indeed, quickly hand over this top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
"Otherwise, having trespassed into our dojo, don't think you'll leave easily."
Tongtian laughed at their words.
He didn't know whether to call these two ignorant or arrogant.
They disregarded the title of Pangu's disciple and instead set their sights on his Mystic Origin Water Control Flag?
Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say.
It seemed that politeness was utterly meaningless in the Primordial World.
It was still necessary to use fists to settle matters!
"Heh heh."
With a contemptuous chuckle, Tongtian's aura suddenly surged.
When he entered the Outer Starry Skies, he had suppressed his aura to the early stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
Now, he directly restored his aura to its peak.
His late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation was fully revealed, and his formidable aura continuously spread outwards.
The reason Dijun and Taiyi didn't take Tongtian, this disciple of Pangu, seriously was not solely because their vision was clouded by the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
It was also because they sensed that Tongtian's cultivation was not strong.
This gave them the confidence to try and force Tongtian to hand over the spiritual treasure.
But as Tongtian unleashed his full aura, the two were immediately struck with great alarm.
Late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
This Daoist Tongtian was actually at the late stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
Shameless fellow, to have hidden his cultivation.
If they had been able to sense it from the beginning, they probably would have feigned compliance for a while longer instead of directly falling out.
But now it was too late. The two of them had cultivated on the Sun Star for many years after taking form, and their current cultivation was only at the early stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
Tongtian's cultivation was two realms stronger than theirs!
"Brother, it's not that we don't have a chance."
"It's two against one, the advantage is ours."
"Besides, we aren't without powerful spirit treasures in hand."
Taiyi didn't dwell on it for too long, speaking in a low voice.
Dijun nodded slightly. That was right, they weren't without a chance of winning.
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously unleashed their auras.
Tongtian's expression was calm, but he was somewhat surprised internally.
These two indeed had strong cultivation talent.
Among the innate great beings who had taken form in the Primordial World, few could surpass these two.
They were only a step away from the mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Dijun and Taiyi launched their attack ferociously.
Since the pretense had been dropped, they had no reservations.
Dijun formed a hand seal, and a brilliant beam of light instantly tore through the void.
Tongtian remained expressionless. Under the protection of the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, he powerfully punched out.
Rumble!
The beam of light was directly crushed and dissipated into nothingness.
Dijun's pupils contracted slightly at the sight.
What a powerful physique!
No wonder he came to the Sun Star. He must have wanted to use the power of the Solar True Fire to further refine his physical body.
Taiyi had already arrived before Tongtian, unleashing fierce divine abilities against him.
Tongtian didn't use any divine abilities, his Bloodline Power churning within his body.
With just one punch, he sent Taiyi flying.
Taiyi stopped, his expression becoming serious.
Such a powerful physique!
Combined with his late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, if they didn't go all out, their brothers would have no chance of defeating him.
The two exchanged a look and simultaneously unleashed the Solar True Fire.
Buzz!
In an instant, two incredibly terrifying, radiant flames hovered in the void. Under their combined control, they even drew upon the Solar True Fire of the Sun Star.
"Solar True Fire, burn mountains and boil seas."
"You can still surrender now!"
Taiyi said with a cold expression.
Tongtian was unafraid. He also wanted to see just how powerful the Solar True Fire truly was!
Seeing that he was courting death, both of them were angered.
They then directly unleashed the Solar True Fire.
Rumble!
The sky-covering flames spread through the void, burning intensely. The temperature in the void rapidly climbed, quickly transforming into a sea of fire.
The vast sea of fire formed a fiery ring, engulfing Tongtian.
Under their control, the fiery ring began to shrink at a visible rate.
The rapidly rising heat made Tongtian take it seriously.
The Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill circulated madly, and surging Bloodline Power churned within him.
Boom!
He punched out, and the sea of fire was blasted open, creating an exit.
Before the sea of fire could repair itself, a cry rang out from within the flames. A Three-legged Golden Crow, several meters long, ferociously charged towards Tongtian.
