Chapter 12: The Fusang Divine Tree, the Overlord of the Sun—The Poisonous Fire Dragon!
Ten thousand years later, the Sun Star.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Standing before the enormous, fiery red sphere, even from billions of miles away, Tai Chu could feel the endless, violent waves of fire.
If the sun were to explode, its power would be enough to destroy the primordial world and recreate the cycle of earth, water, fire, and wind.
After a moment's hesitation, Tai Chu chose to give up the protection of the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus.
Using his physical body to withstand the outer solar fire, Taichu fell into the depths of the sun star.
Divine power condensed throughout his body, covering his skin.
This ensures that the physical body is tempered without affecting the efficiency of Tai Chu's search for the Fusang Tree.
"call!"
Having traveled trillions of miles into the sun, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air; his primordial physical body was beginning to give out.
The perfect physical body of the Taiyi Golden God allowed Taichu to directly confront innate spiritual treasures.
However, its golden brilliance, intertwined with a wisp of purple solar fire, was something that even a divine body at the Taiyi Golden God level could not contend with.
It can no longer be called the true fire of the sun, but rather the true flame of the sun at a higher level.
"Splash!"
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
When the supreme innate spiritual treasure—the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus—appeared, the surrounding true flames of the sun retreated in fear.
The Purification Law is incomparably holy, flowing with a wisp of profound and mysterious creation law, and its defense is astonishing.
"Whoosh!"
Unleashing his full power, Tai Chu released divine true energy as if it were free, protecting his own divine will as it swept across the endless solar star field.
Soon, a giant, fiery red tree appeared before Tai Chu.
The Fusang Divine Tree is 30 million feet tall, with branches that twist and turn like dragons, and its canopy that stretches for tens of millions of miles.
On it, two giant golden eggs are being nurtured, and the phantom of a golden crow can be seen evolving.
"Hiss hiss hiss"
The violent fire elemental energy erupted from the Fusang Tree, colliding with the Purification Law, and the two forces clashed and annihilated each other.
"There are gains and losses in everything."
With his eyes fixed intently on the Fusang Divine Tree, Tai Chu couldn't help but sigh.
Of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots, only three are known to have the ability to transform into living beings, and each of them possesses top-tier supernatural powers.
The Bodhi tree of Gengjin transformed into Cundi, one of the two Western Saints in later generations.
The ginseng fruit tree of the Xu Earth element transformed into Zhen Yuanzi, the renowned ancestor of earth immortals in later generations.
The hollow willow tree of the Yi Wood element, combined with the remnant soul of a demon god, transformed into the Great Immortal Yang Mei, whose cultivation surpassed even that of Hongjun.
However, the Great Immortal Yangmei attained the Dao of Hunyuan, so he was not accepted by the Primordial World and could only wander in the Chaos.
At present, the Great Immortal Yangmei has not yet attained the Great Luo of Hunyuan, and is still in the prehistoric world.
The laurel tree, hibiscus tree, and star tree are somewhat special cases.
Their true forms are all intertwined with the origin of the stars they are rooted in, making them even more connected. They have no possibility of developing intelligence, and therefore cannot take human form.
The greatest truths are the most impartial!
As long as the primordial chaos endures, Fusang will live on forever!
The price is that they cannot develop intelligence.
If the hibiscus tree and the laurel tree could develop sentience, they would definitely be two beings no less powerful than the Great Immortal Yangmei.
"Boom!!"
While Taichu was still comprehending the essence of the Fusang Divine Tree and the surrounding solar flames, a storm suddenly arose.
The outer perimeter was filled with endless solar fire, while the center was a dazzling purple solar flame, hurtling straight toward the beginning of time.
"boom!"
Not daring to be negligent, Tai Chu immediately unleashed boundless divine true power, which he then used to enhance the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus.
"Not enough?"
Tai Chu's expression changed slightly.
Even with the defense of the twelve-petaled Pure World White Lotus, it couldn't withstand the attack for long and showed signs of breaking.
"Divine Decree, suppress!!"
Without hesitation, Tai Chu summoned the Primordial Treasure, the Divine Edict, and hung it above his head, thus withstanding the violent solar storm.
Then he took out three more Sun Star Fruits, which Tai Chu swallowed whole.
The immense primordial energy of the sun and stars swept through the primordial chaos, causing the divine body to radiate brilliant divine light, and the pressure from the solar true flame storm lessened.
"The Golden Crow Clan?"
"Strange, it's not a Golden Crow, but a Flood Dragon?"
"How could there be a dragon on the sun star?"
Seeing that the solar storm showed no signs of abating, the true power of the Primordial God would eventually run out.
Tracing back to the source, Taichu found the 'culprit' that caused the solar storm, and couldn't help but feel surprised and uncertain.
Crimson scales, black armor, a single horn, blood-red eyes, four-clawed snake tail, and black and red poisonous flames coiled around its body.
The surrounding true fire of the sun avoids the poisonous fire dragon as if it were a snake or scorpion.
Discovered by Tai Chu, the Poison Fire Dragon, clearly possessing intelligence, showed a flash of fear and fled into the depths of the Sun Star Core.
"town!"
With a wave of his hand, the divine talisman radiated divine light, suppressing the void and transforming into divine chains that imprisoned the poisonous fire dragon.
"Click-clack!"
He imprisoned the venomous fire dragon in his palm, tore open a corner of the divine chain, and instantly an extreme chilling power spread out.
If Tai Chu hadn't been prepared, his arm would have been frozen to pieces, something only a Great Luo Golden God Realm physique could withstand.
"The Sun Star, the place of ultimate strength and yang."
"The Taiyin star represents the most Yin and cold place."
"The chilling power of this dragon's origin is comparable to the extreme yin and coldness of the Taiyin Star?"
"How strange!"
Frowning, filled with doubt, Tai Chu used the restriction to deduce the truth and quickly understood.
"The chaotic demonic energy and resentment of the gods were combined with the origin of the sun to create this being."
"It feeds on the true fire of the sun and takes the yin fire of the sun as its source."
"The absolute nemesis of the Golden Crow clan, the Innate Poisonous Fire Dragon!"
"In the sixth kalpa, a wisp of intelligence was born, even earlier than Di Jun and Tai Yi."
"If he had taken human form at the end of the Primordial Era, he would have definitely been able to kill Di Jun and Tai Yi indiscriminately."
"But why have we never heard of a venomous fire dragon roaming the primordial world?"
With doubts in mind, Taichu continued his deductions.
The primordial deductions came to an abrupt end just as the fate of the Poisonous Fire Dragon was about to be revealed.
"Not within the Three Realms, beyond the Five Elements."
"It seems that Heaven itself is behind this."
"The Golden Crow clan, represented by Di Jun and Tai Yi, bears a great mission. How can Heaven allow the existence of the Poison Fire Flood Dragon clan, the nemesis of the Golden Crows?"
"In the early days of the primordial era, top-tier innate gods and demons could be seen everywhere in the world."
"At the end of the ancient era, almost all the top innate gods and demons died out, so the Three Pure Ones and Styx took human form and were born into the world as the top supernatural beings in the first order of heaven and earth."
"Everything is for the sake of balance."
With piercing eyes, Tai Chu didn't think much of it, but just stared at the Poison Fire Dragon, continuously releasing divine true power.
"It really works!"
Overwhelmed with joy, Tai Chu continued to increase the output of his divine power, constantly penetrating the spirit of the Poison Fire Dragon!
Everything in the world has a positive and a negative side.
The immortal path is Hongjun, the demonic path is Luohou.
Even though Rahu self-destructed, igniting the western land, he did not completely perish, but instead transformed into the demon realm, the opposite of the immortal path.
The Golden Crow clan represents the true fire of the sun, which is positive.
The Poisonous Fire Dragon Clan represents the Yin Fire of the Sun, which is the opposite.
Regardless of their opposing sides, both the true fire of the sun and the yin fire of the sun have the potential to continuously improve the quality of the flames and transform into chaotic fire.
If one can smelt the Poisonous Fire Dragon, one can refine the purest solar yin fire into one's own supernatural power.
Looking across the primordial world, all those with great supernatural powers who wielded fire were suppressed by the Primordial Beginning.
"The Celestial Chart is here!"
"In the name of myself, the Lord of the Purple Star, I command all the stars in the heavens to refine!!"
Without hesitation, Tai Chu drew upon the power of the boundless stars, transforming it into a stellar furnace, and used his own divine fire to temper the poisonous fire dragon imprisoned in his palm.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fiery dragon charged desperately into the star furnace, causing the surrounding solar storm to boil over completely, and the atmosphere of danger to intensify.
Both the Golden Crow Clan and the Poisonous Fire Dragon Clan are, in fact, innate races born from the Sun Star.
In the beginning, the desire to refine the poisonous fire dragon was not permitted by the origin of the sun.
"Slay the Immortal-Slaying Sword, suppress it!"
With piercing eyes, the Primordial One was surrounded by boundless divine radiance, and an incomparably fierce innate treasure appeared in the sky.
Having completely refined all fifty restrictions, the Primordial Ability could fully unleash the power of the innate treasure, the Immortal Slaying Sword.
The solar storm was temporarily suppressed by the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
The area, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, was filled with a dark, violent, and malevolent aura, as well as the killing intent of swords.
The Immortal-Slaying Sword, the most powerful and deadly treasure in the primordial world, is truly terrifying!
