Chapter 297: Cycle 6 - Stealing the Heavens and Switching the Days, Twin Gods Descend to the Lower Realm!_2
They rarely rely on external objects, but instead find every means to temper their flesh bodies to a state where they are impervious to blades and spears, as hard as gold and stone.
And this Ancient Body Tempering Formula is an ancient relic left by the Stone Turtle Tribe from the Ancient Era.
Its value is so precious that it cannot be measured by money.
Lu Yuan set these medicinal materials aside and looked at the Profound Bone Heavy Shield nearby.
The shield was shaped like a turtle shell, its surface full of sword and blade scars along with complex patterns, exuding a sense of time's heavy and weathered passage.
Lu Yuan flicked his fingers against it, feeling that the heavy shield seemed to be made from the bones of an exotic beast but had a jade-like texture.
Moreover, after exploring it for a while.
Lu Yuan found that the Profound Bone Heavy Shield, besides having incredibly strong defensive power, could also resist spiritual power impact!
This was why Shi Hu didn't have time to use this heavy shield at that time, otherwise, even for someone as strong as Lu Yuan, it would take a lot of effort to take him down.
"Indeed, killing and arson lead to a golden belt; I've hit the jackpot this time."
Lu Yuan sighed.
Lin Zhi, as the descendant of a family in Zhenhuang City, was already swimming in wealth.
And Shi Hu was even the chief of a tribe, governing the entire tribe's heritage and resources.
Now all their resources and treasures have fallen into Lu Yuan's hands, enough to support Lu Yuan as he cultivates all the way to the Spirit Embryo Realm!
Lu Yuan finished counting all his gains and took some cultivation resources to give to Wind Chime and Feng Huai'an.
After doing all this.
He began his seclusion, immediately immersing himself in cultivation.
Day and night alternated, time flew by.
A year hastily passed, and Lu Yuan finally turned five.
One morning.
As he usually did, sitting cross-legged on a stone at the village entrance, activating the Qi Refining Technique, and drawing Sun Fire Essence from the morning sun in mid-air.
The sky suddenly darkened.
All the light disappeared in an instant; the entire Great Wilderness, along with the sun, seemed to be swallowed by darkness.
But all this came quickly and left quickly.
Not long after.
The darkness dissipated, returning to daytime.
But when Lu Yuan looked up at the sky again, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle.
Because the clear blue sky actually had two suns appearing at the same time!
The two suns hung in the sky like two crimson furnaces, causing the temperature on the ground to rise sharply!
It was supposed to be morning, and there was still a touch of coolness in the air.
But with the appearance of the second sun.
Many ordinary tribesmen soon began sweating like rain, their heads spinning, nearly collapsing from heat on the spot!
And those lush green plants were also roasted dry and yellow by the two furnaces, seemingly losing their vitality!
"What's coming will come; it seems the Great Wilderness is about to change."
Lu Yuan looked up at the two suns, feeling heavy-hearted.
And he couldn't tell if it was just his illusion.
He always felt that the suns in the sky were somewhat different from usual, lacking a touch of spiritual vitality, and bearing more inhuman coldness and ruthlessness.
"I can no longer sense the presence of Sun Fire Essence, there's definitely something wrong with these two suns."
Lu Yuan's face slightly changed.
The Great Wind Tribe, being descendants of the Fire God, were innately endowed with unparalleled ability to manipulate and sense fire.
But now.
No matter how he activated the Qi Refining Technique, he could no longer absorb Sun Fire Essence from between heaven and earth.
It was as if the original sun had disappeared!
"But if the previous sun is gone, then what are these two suns?"
Lu Yuan stared hard at the sky, a vague answer forming in his heart.
From ancient times.
The sun has been the fundamental source of survival for all beings.
There were even ancient sages who took the sun as a totem to create the Fire Dao Qi Refining Technique.
One could say.
The sun is the root of all Fire Daoist Qi Refiners.
But the ever-enduring sun has now disappeared, replaced by something of mysterious origin!
Originally, Lu Yuan thought that this natural disaster was merely a great drought.
But now he realized.
This drought was far more serious than he had imagined.
The Celestial Divine Race clearly intended to wipe out all the people of the Great Wilderness!
"To steal the sky and replace the day, dual gods aloft."
"Even the Zhurong Divine Race has descended; the Celestial Court really thinks highly of us old folks!"
By the You River.
An old man in a bamboo hat holding a Purple Bamboo Fishing Rod laughed coldly again and again.
Transforming into the great sun, illuminating eternity.
Only the lineage of the Fire God from the past could possess such supreme power!
And inside that sun, two majestic figures stood loftily, looking down with cold eyes at the crowds below, turning a deaf ear to the words of the old man in the bamboo hat.
"The Great Wilderness disrespects the Celestial Mandate, defying the gods, thus ushering in ten years of drought as a warning to others!"
As soon as the words fell.
The two suns, just like blazing furnaces, caused the ground temperature to surge once again.
Rivers evaporated, the earth cracked.
Wildfires ignited ancient trees, and the Great Mountains were instantly engulfed by a monstrous sea of flames.
Countless birds and beasts fled for their lives, a scene full of anguish everywhere!
Even all Fire Daoist Qi Refiners felt their internal spiritual power suddenly out of control, becoming extremely violent, as if about to ignite their flesh bodies and souls!
Because the Zhurong Fire Official, patrolling on behalf of the Emperor, could command all the fires under the heavens!
And the True Sun Fire deep within Lu Yuan's Dantian also seemed suppressed.
In an instant, it shrank from the size of an adult's head to a wisp of a spark.
Like a candle flickering in the wind, it might go out at any moment!
Just as the entire Great Wilderness was engulfed in flames and was about to become ashes.
"Step step step..."
A slight sound of footsteps suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.
"He's still alive?"
Hearing this sound.
The old man in the bamboo hat trembled, looking up in disbelief towards the distance.
The two suns in the sky restrained their aura, no longer being so aggressive!
Only to see a blind old man holding a bamboo staff, slowly step by step ascending into the air.
He was ragged, emaciated, exuding a strong death qi.
But when he appeared, the whole world fell silent.
The two suns lost all their color, immediately becoming dim and lightless.
Originally furnace-like hot, the Great Wilderness now suddenly cooled, finally restoring a touch of coolness.
"We are but dying men, promised to never show our faces again."
"This is the last bit of bloodline in the Great Wilderness, do you truly wish to exterminate us all?"
The old blind man spoke in a husky, calm voice.
He did not speak loudly, yet those two divine beings were like facing a great enemy, not knowing how to respond for a long while.
Don't be fooled by the old blind man's emaciated frame, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
But only these Celestial Divine Race beings understood how terrifying this scruffy old man truly was!
"Go back and tell your Celestial Emperor."
"As long as this old man lives even a day, I'll kill as many Celestial Divine Race beings as come!"
The old blind man tapped his bamboo staff twice in the air.
But those two suns in the sky suddenly shattered, as if suffering some severe blow.
As for those two majestic figures, they were bruised all over, terrified out of their wits, and without looking back, desperately wanted to escape back to the Upper Realm.
However, just as they turned their heads, they found that the blind old man who was standing in the distance before, had somehow suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Return my Great Wilderness's sun."
The old blind man said flatly.
The two did not dare to utter another word and immediately activated a Secret Technique.
The sky over the Great Wilderness darkened once more, and when it returned to daylight.
Everyone found that there was only one sun left in the sky again.
And Lu Yuan, as well as all the Fire Daoist Qi Refiners, once again sensed the presence of Sun Fire Essence!
"Imperial Tutor Senior, may we leave now?"
The two bowed their heads, cautiously asked.
Even though they tried hard to control it, their voices still held a hint of tremble.
"Scram."
The old blind man sternly rebuked.
However, the two felt like they were granted amnesty, fleeing as if escaping, vanishing into nothingness without a trace.
The dual suns vanished, the sea of fire calmed.
A rain fell from the sky, nourishing the scorched and parched land.
Everything returned to tranquility.
Everyone bathed in the heavy rain, felt like they awoke from a dream.
As if everything that just happened was nothing but a dream.
But Lu Yuan knew, this disaster was just a probe.
Once Heaven fully grasps the situation of the Great Wilderness, a multitude of natural disasters and earthly calamities would surely follow one after another!
