Primordial Era: The Great Celestial Venerable on the Road to Mythology

Chapter 53 The Great Formation of Heluo, Yao Ji comes to help, and the True Dragon appears in the wo

Lu Ya manipulated the Ten Fiends Kunpeng Spiritual Treasure, pressing the Kunpeng against the sea surface and rubbing it repeatedly, causing great powers from all sides of the prehistoric world to discuss it heatedly.

"What is this? An incarnation? Or a spiritual treasure?" A cultivator stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"It seems to be a magical treasure! But it's almost identical to the avatar—what exactly is this thing? How can it possibly crush the Kunpeng to the ground!"

"Haha! No matter what it is, Kunpeng has really lost face this time. He was beaten down by Lu Ya with a spiritual treasure. If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off."

"Exactly, that's not all. The key is that the spiritual treasure's transformed form is also a Kunpeng! This is simply devastating! As the only Kunpeng in the primordial world, it's not even as powerful as a spiritual treasure. This is utterly shameful..."

The crowd erupted in a cacophony of voices: some were curious, some mocked, and some gloated.

If Kunpeng heard these words, he would definitely complain loudly: You all just talk nonsense, if you're so capable, come down and try it yourselves! This thing is faster than him, and its body is as hard as an ancestral witch, how can I fight it?

Kunpeng is, after all, a great being of the world, with considerable strength and experience. Although the Ten Fierce Spiritual Treasures have extremely strong defenses and astonishing power, they are ultimately controlled by Lu Ya and are not without flaws.

Finding an opening, Kunpeng exerted all his strength and finally managed to create distance between himself and the Peng bird. Without saying a word, he took out the Hetu Luoshu and set up the Heluo Grand Array.

While the Heluo Grand Formation may not be as unparalleled in offensive power as the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation, its defensive capabilities are among the best in the primordial world. Once activated, this formation draws upon the power of heaven and earth to protect the user, making it difficult even for a quasi-saint to break through.

The Ten Fierce Spiritual Treasures have extremely strong defenses, but to be honest, they are not particularly good at offense.

It relies on the hardness of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and the blessing of the Great Dao. It is almost impossible to break through the formation head-on—unless several spiritual treasures work together to break it with overwhelming force.

Alternatively, using the Treasure Art of the Cicada, or a magical artifact that intervenes through the Great Dao of Time and Space, might offer a slight chance of breaking the formation. However, this is only a possibility, and there is no absolute certainty.

This kind of celestial formation is much easier to break from the inside than from the outside. Breaking the formation from the outside requires strength far exceeding that of the person who set it up and the power of heaven and earth to amplify it. Attacking the formation's core from the inside, however, is much simpler.

Just like when Zhen Yuanzi opened the Earth Book Array to protect the human race in ancient times, Donghuang Taiyi, with his high cultivation and the innate treasure Chaos Bell, was still unable to break through from the outside.

When Lu Ya saw Kunpeng take out the Hetu Luoshu and set up the Heluo Formation, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

The Hetu and Luoshu were his father Emperor Jun's innate spiritual treasures; the Heluo Grand Array was something his father had painstakingly developed. Now, however, they shone brightly in the hands of this traitor. How could he not hate him?

But after the anger comes a deep sense of powerlessness.

He truly couldn't break through this thing. Unless he mobilized the Sun Star, but he dared not imagine the consequences. Although he had witnessed the Heavenly Emperor's methods of replenishing the Sun Star's essence, who knew if the Heavenly Emperor had such methods? If something went wrong and he recklessly mobilized the Sun Star, causing damage to the stars, then his path to immortality would be completely ruined.

Lu Ya gritted his teeth, about to take out the Demon-Summoning Banner and give Kunpeng a good blow. As long as the Heluo Formation breaks for a moment, he can send out the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife to instantly injure Kunpeng.

Just then, a silvery voice rang out.

"Lord Sun, I'm here to help you."

Kunpeng turned his head and saw a fairy with an unparalleled beauty, so stunning that she could topple kingdoms, appear out of thin air at the edge of the battlefield, her clothes fluttering and her aura ethereal.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Eldest Princess!" Lu Ya hurriedly bowed. There was nothing he could do; her cultivation level wasn't high, she hadn't even reached the Great Luo realm, but who could blame her for having such a powerful background? With her elder brother, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian, even a saint wouldn't dare to easily provoke her.

Most importantly, this princess possesses a considerable number of the Ten Fiendish Spiritual Treasures. With her arrival, Kunpeng's defeat was already inevitable.

"Arrogant! A mere Taiyi Golden Immortal dares to spout such nonsense?" Kunpeng was furious. How dare a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal interfere in his battle with Lu Ya?

He raised his hand and unleashed an attack aimed directly at Yao Ji.

Of course, he was still careful in his actions. Yao Ji was Haotian's younger sister, a sibling, sharing his destiny. If he were to kill her, he couldn't bear the wrath of Haotian.

That person was a ruthless man who dared to slaughter a saint. Kunpeng always cherished his life, otherwise he would not have been forced to join the Heavenly Court by Dijun and Taiyi, nor would he have fled in the face of the Lich War.

Therefore, this attack will at most severely injure Yao Ji, but will not take her life. This can be considered a punishment—in the primordial world, the strong are respected, and disrespect towards the strong deserves a lesson that no one can find fault with.

"How dare you!" Lu Ya shouted, about to intercept him.

Yao Ji, however, was one step ahead of him and threw out a seal.

The seal grew taller in the wind, instantly transforming into the size of a small mountain.

Immediately, a resounding dragon roar echoed through the heavens—the seal transformed into a nine-clawed golden dragon, its entire body gleaming with golden light, its scales menacing, radiating an aura of power that suppressed all ages.

It is indeed a true dragon treasure technique!

The Kunpeng's attack struck the true dragon, but it vanished without even causing a ripple.

Kunpeng's pupils contracted sharply. The aura of this spiritual treasure was exactly the same as the one that had transformed into Kunpeng! Apart from the difference in the laws of the Great Dao, they were identical. What exactly was this thing?

The observing cultivators were also full of doubts.

"What is this? A magical artifact or an incarnation?"

"If we call it a spiritual treasure, the fact that Lu Ya, a quasi-saint, could unleash such power indicates that its grade is very high."

It's quite unusual that Yao Ji, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, could unleash such power from a spiritual treasure.

When will a Taiyi Golden Immortal be able to contend with a Quasi-Saint with just a magical treasure?

The crowd discussed it amongst themselves, completely baffled.

This is precisely the unique aspect of Haotian's craftsmanship in refining these spiritual treasures.

These spiritual treasures are derived from the primordial ancestral energy. To put it simply, they are "battle spiritual treasures" given by Haotian to the people of the Heavenly Court for fighting and protection, rather than innate spiritual treasures which contain many restrictions.

Their power originates from the Heavenly Emperor, or rather, from the ancestral Qi. Users simply need to activate and manipulate them. No refining or cultivation matching is required—it's a foolproof operation, simple and practical.

Of course, not just anyone can use this thing. Only members of the Heavenly Court, those with authority, can activate it.

These details were unknown to the others. They were still speculating about what this "thing" actually was.

An avatar? Even more impossible. Lu Ya is a three-legged golden crow; even if he could create a quasi-saint level avatar, he couldn't create a Kunpeng. In the entire primordial world, there is only one Kunpeng, the Demon Master Kunpeng. How could Lu Ya have a Kunpeng avatar?

Although that roc also used the power of the sun, it always felt different from Lu Ya's Great Dao of the Sun.

What they didn't know was that the Ten Fierce Kunpeng Spiritual Treasure actually contained the principles of Yin and Yang. However, Lu Ya only displayed the power of the Sun's Way and did not transform into the form of a Kun, so no one recognized it.

Yao Ji raised an eyebrow and waved her hand. The true dragon roared and pounced on the Heluo Grand Formation, tearing with its claws and sweeping with its tail, fiercely attacking the formation.

The True Dragon's attack was slightly stronger than that of the Ten Ferocious Kunpeng, but after a fierce assault, the Heluo Formation remained as stable as a rock, only trembling slightly.

Kunpeng's expression softened slightly, and he was about to speak sarcastically—

Then Yao Ji threw out a sword and a shield.

"Clang clang—"

"roar--"
