"After seeing the flaw, I naturally had more confidence to make a move..."
Fang Ming closed his eyes.
...
In the vast Primordial Continent, the great sun descended.
Countless humans looked up at the sky, seeing only one sun rising, its aura and momentum covering countless light-years, illuminating the past, present, and future of the universe.
The true sun, the Solar Star, was laughable in comparison to this great sun, like a firefly's light.
There were two suns in the sky.
Endless Li Fire evolved from this great sun, and all three thousand Great Daos bowed down. The Solar Star in the Ninth Heaven seemed to be eroded by the power of the great sun, transforming into one of its avatars.
Within the great sun, a boy could be vaguely seen, with a flame divine pattern between his brows, his fiery red hair cascading over his shoulders, looking as refined as jade, seated within a chariot.
Beside the chariot, nine dragons pulled it. These nine dragons had all perished and were refined by Daojun Lu Ya into dragons that pulled his chariot.
Which nine dragons?
One: Ancestral Dragon. Daojun Lu Ya descended in a past tribulation, erased its sentience, and used a peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal as his mount.
Two: Candle Dragon. Daojun Lu Ya traveled to the East Sea in a past tribulation, erased its sentience at the bottom of the sea, with a peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal cultivation.
Three: Cloud Dragon. In the very first tribulation, Emperor Jun sent Lu Ya to the East Sea to persuade the Dragon Clan to join the demons. Venerable Cloud Dragon obstructed him, so Lu Ya slew it with the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and refined it into a spiritual treasure.
Four: Flying Dragon.
Five: Yellow Dragon.
Six: Dragon Demon God. Before the Seven Tribulations, Daojun Lu Ya descended into the Chaos Era, erased the sentience of the Dragon Demon God, and refined the Hunyuan Wuji cultivation level Dragon Demon God into a pulling beast.
Seven: Celestial Dragon. The Dragon Ancestor of a certain immortal-heroic world of the Outer Demons, known as the Dongzhen realm. Daojun Lu Ya willed it and crushed it, and this Dragon Ancestor from another dimension was also refined into a spiritual treasure.
Eight: Dragon intertwined with cosmic quantum clouds. An artificial dragon-like life form from a science fiction world, an Outer Demon.
Nine: Ancient Dragon, from a fantasy world.
The Nine Dragon Chariot, having refined numerous high-quality dragons, had a grade far exceeding that of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, approaching that of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
Its grade was even higher than that of the World-Destroying Grinding Disc of the past.
The nine dragons soared through the sky, and Daojun Lu Ya, seated on the chariot, tore through the heavenly net, heading straight for the Heavenly Court.
This enraged countless humans!
What era was this?
This was the era of the Human Dao! The era of the Human Race!
The Human Race ruled the Chaos. Whether immortals, Buddhas, gods, saints, or other races and demons, all had to kneel before the Human Race!
Where did this alien race come from, daring to be so arrogant?
"The Human Dao flourishes! And you allow an alien race to be so presumptuous?"
"Openly and brazenly, you dare to ride in a chariot and ascend to the Ninth Heaven. What are you trying to do? Do you think our Human Race has no one?"
"Where did this demon come from... Do you really think this is the era millions of years ago when the Demon Court ruled the Primordial Realm?"
Many humans below discussed amongst themselves.
Finally, one human could not contain himself. He possessed a cultivation level comparable to a Quasi-Emperor, equivalent to a Quasi-Saint great divine ability user of the past.
He then shot straight into the sky, stood before the chariot, and berated it.
"Alien! Do you know what era this is? You dare to charge straight into the Ninth Heaven, intending to ascend to the Heavenly Court. What crime should you be punished with according to the law?"
The boy's laughter echoed.
"Oh, you lack discernment? Don't you see that one of the dragons pulling me is at the Hunyuan Wuji cultivation level?"
"What courage makes you dare to rush up and speak like this?"
The human at the Quasi-Saint level laughed heartily, "Ignorant demon, your so-called Hunyuan Wuji dragon is merely confined to the chaotic energy."
"The Heavenly Net controls the chaotic energy and has already refined the countless chaotic energies that formed the magical power within this Hunyuan Wuji dragon!"
"I am a fourth-rank official of the Heavenly Court, possessing the sixth-tier authority of the Heavenly Net! I will now mobilize the Heavenly Net to render all the magical power within this Hunyuan Wuji dragon unusable, and then..."
Within the Nine Dragon Chariot, the dragon possessing the true body of a Chaos Demon God instantly spat out dragon flames.
The power of Hunyuan Wuji instantly turned this human Quasi-Emperor into ashes.
Only before his death did he leave behind a dying word: "How is this possible? How can the Hunyuan magical power within this Hunyuan Wuji dragon not be controlled by the Heavenly Net?"
The world fell silent.
Only the boy with the flame divine pattern between his brows sighed.
"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival."
"Arrogance is."
Daoist Randeng reminded him from beside the chariot, "Daojun, what should we do..."
The essence of innate Li Fire in the chariot replied, "Just crush them. I need to have a talk with that Heavenly Emperor Fang Ming about the price he must pay to quell my wrath for allowing his subordinate to bully me for millions of years since my descent."
The Nine Dragon Chariot sped away.
The essence of innate Li Fire, within the chariot, held a manuscript and muttered to himself, "Since I slew Zhao Gongming at Xiqi, I haven't used this treasure. It's time to use it..."
...
At the center of the Heavenly Net.
Emperor Yanwu, Emperor Guishui, Emperor Qingyang, and Heavenly Venerable Baihua were all present, observing Daojun Lu Ya's destruction of the human Quasi-Emperor through the Heavenly Net.
Only after the Heavenly Net on the other side was partially torn by Daojun Lu Ya, causing the monitoring in the center of the Heavenly Net to go black, did Emperor Qingyang speak.
"My disciple could not control the Hunyuan magical power within the dragon corpse with the Heavenly Net. It seems Daojun Lu Ya's corpse refining techniques have reached the pinnacle."
"Corpse refining is a side path within side paths, a minor art within minor arts in Primordial techniques. Daojun Lu Ya has actually used it to refine this Nine Dragon Chariot, which is only slightly inferior to the Pangu Axe and the Thirty-Six-Rank Creation Green Lotus..."
"The power and weaknesses of this treasure require multiple tests to ascertain. The current data is insufficient..."
It turned out that in this era, where could there be such an ignorant and arrogant human Quasi-Emperor?
That human Quasi-Emperor was merely a disciple of Emperor Qingyang, specifically sent to test the strength and weaknesses of Daojun Lu Ya's Nine Dragon Chariot.
Through this test, they had almost obtained the specific data of the Hunyuan Wuji dragon, the Chaos Demon God dragon corpse within the Nine Dragon Chariot.
Daojun Lu Ya's corpse refining and treasure refining techniques were extraordinary. Although this dragon was a dragon corpse, it possessed sentience, and its dragon flames were even stronger than when it was alive.
The entire Nine Dragon Chariot could almost certainly be classified as just below a Chaos Supreme Treasure, far surpassing the World-Destroying Grinding Disc, and could be called a pseudo-Chaos Supreme Treasure.
Daojun Lu Ya's signature abilities, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Dinghai Shen Zhen Shu, had not even been used. A mere chariot was a pseudo-Chaos Supreme Treasure, which showed that the Daojun's abilities were indeed incomparable to any Chaos Demon God, including Pangu.
"Unfortunately, my disciple will have to wait another ten years before their cultivation can be restored to the level of a Quasi-Saint..."
Although Emperor Qingyang spoke of regret, he did not truly regret it.
Although the human Quasi-Emperor had his primordial spirit annihilated by the dragon flames, his consciousness remained within his soul core, so he would not die or perish.
In this era, the entire Human Race possessed saintly positions, and there was no longer the concept of death or perishing.
It merely required a ten-year cooldown period for resurrection and the restoration of full cultivation.
