Chapter 21

: The Battle of Di Jun, the River Chart and the Luo River Book

This gourd, into which Hongyun refined soul-dispersing red sand, is called the Nine-Nine Soul-Dispersing Gourd, and is also a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Once unleashed, the red sand obscures the sun, erodes human bones and blood, and destroys the true spirit of the person; its power is extremely terrifying.

At this moment, Nuwa also stepped forward.

Although she didn't say anything, a golden gourd flew into her hand automatically. This gourd later became known as the Demon-Summoning Gourd, which contained a Demon-Summoning Banner and could summon all the demons in the world.

In the blink of an eye.

The five gourds have already been assigned to their respective owners, leaving only the last two.

But then, something unexpected happened.

It was as if the gourd vine's life force had been exhausted, and the vine suddenly withered and died.

After the sixth gourd matured, the last gourd trembled violently and visibly shrank, its spiritual light becoming very dim.

Judging by this, let alone refining a top-grade innate spiritual treasure—

Even if one were to refine a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, whether it would actually succeed is still uncertain.

Among the many powerful beings present, only Donghua and Dijun were empty-handed.

It was almost subconscious.

Donghua and Dijun's gazes fell on each other, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The atmosphere in the valley was tense and ready to fight.

A moment later, Di Jun suddenly chuckled and said, "I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Donghua, but it has been a long time since I have had the pleasure of meeting you. In my opinion, since neither of us is willing to back down, it would be better if I had a match with you, Fellow Daoist."

"Whoever wins shall take the sixth gourd, shall he?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Di Jun's words, Dong Hua's eyes flashed with surprise before he calmly replied:

"In that case, this humble Taoist priest accepts!"

He thought that what awaited him next would be a big melee among several people, but unexpectedly, Di Jun took the initiative to ask for a one-on-one duel to determine the ownership of the gourd.

That suited his wishes perfectly.

After listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, Donghua's cultivation level was already infinitely close to the perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. If we add the various powerful magic treasures in his hands, his true strength has long surpassed his apparent realm.

Therefore, even if it's one against two, Donghua isn't worried about losing to Dijun and Taiyi.

Not to mention that he also has the Queen Mother of the West and the Goddess of the Mysterious Woman by his side to help him and relieve some of the pressure, so it is impossible for him to lose.

but……

Since Dijun wants to fight him one-on-one, why shouldn't Donghua agree?

First of all, with his current strength, defeating Di Jun would be a piece of cake, and he wouldn't feel any pressure at all.

Secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to test Di Jun's abilities and see just how skilled his almost destined rival really was.

Finally, if it were just the two of them fighting, Donghua could expose fewer of his methods and trump cards.

All of the above, Donghua was naturally very happy to accept.

"A battle of wits is about to begin?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, the Sanqing and the others, who had obtained the gourd and were about to leave, all became interested.

They all stopped in their tracks.

On the one hand, battles between powerful beings are a rare sight.

On the other hand, as the top innate deities in the primordial world, they were also very curious about the strength of Donghua and Dijun, and how much of a gap there was between them.

……

After agreeing on the terms, the two quickly set up their formations.

Donghua stood with his hands at his sides, gazing at Dijun from afar, and said calmly, "Since this method was proposed by you, fellow Daoist, please make the first move!"

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun shouted loudly without the slightest hesitation.

With a loud boom, countless golden flames erupted from its body, instantly turning half the sky gold—it was the True Fire of the Sun.

As Di Jun made a thought, countless three-legged fire crows of all sizes condensed into the true fire of the sun and descended towards Donghua.

Where thousands of fire crows passed, they left streaks of white and gold in the void.

Such a scene was as if the sky had collapsed.

Each of those fiery crows was condensed from the essence of the sun's true fire, extremely domineering and intense.

It can instantly kill any being below the Great Luo level.

Even a less powerful Golden Immortal couldn't withstand this single move and could only flee in a sorry state.

"As expected of you, Di Jun..."

Feeling the overwhelming power of the swarming fire crows, Donghua couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

With just a casual move, he had already reached a peak that many Great Luo Golden Immortals could not achieve in their entire lives.

However, even among those with great supernatural powers, there are differences.

Although Di Jun is strong, he will never be a match for me.

"call--"

Exhale softly.

His nine-colored cloud robes fluttered, and boundless white light burst forth from Donghua's body, filling half the sky behind him.

It was the Lesser Yang True Fire that he had condensed.

With a thought from Donghua, countless silver-white immortal arrows condensed from the boundless Shaoyang True Fire, all of them shooting towards the fire crows, choosing to confront them head-on.

The arrow flashed, and the fire crow perished.

Amidst the continuous explosions, it was as if a golden and silver meteor shower was falling in the valley, a truly beautiful sight.

In their initial clash, the two were surprisingly evenly matched.

There are four symbols in the universe: Taiyang (Greater Yang) and Shaoyang (Lesser Yang), Taiyin (Greater Yin) and Shaoyin (Lesser Yin).

The power of the sun is the extreme of yang, extremely strong and powerful. The true fire of the sun that it condenses is even more domineering and possesses unimaginable destructive power.

If it were a head-on clash, Donghua's Shaoyang True Fire would clearly be slightly inferior.

However, as the beginning of Yang, Shaoyang also has its unique aspects.

Although it lacks domineering power, it excels in its continuous flow, representing the vitality and growth of the world, the flourishing of all things, and its greatest characteristic is its resilience.

A glimpse of the whole picture through a tube.

With just one glance, Donghua made a simple assessment of Dijun's strength.

He smiled faintly and said, "Di Jun, stop testing me. Show me everything you've got, or I'll take this gourd."

"In that case, we'll grant your wish, fellow Daoist!"

Even after Donghua exposed his thoughts, Dijun didn't care at all. His golden pupils shone brightly, and a fierce look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Buzz!"

He extended his left hand forward, and the accompanying magical treasures—the supreme innate spiritual treasures Hetu and Luoshu—floated in his palm.

One is the essence, and the other is the function.

One is about constancy, the other about change.

This treasure records the mysteries of the evolution of heaven and earth and the rotation of stars. The Hetu (River Diagram) depicts the Great Dao and elucidates the fundamental nature of heaven and earth. The Luoshu (Luo River Diagram) records infinite information and clarifies the profound mysteries of the universe's operation.

The fact that Di Jun brought out this companion magic weapon also signifies that he is finally getting serious.

In an instant, Di Jun used immeasurable resources.

Using his great Luo authority, he transformed all the heavens into one region.

The essence of heaven and earth that filled the universe was plundered by it without any regard for loss.

Under Di Jun's activation, the two magical treasures, the Hetu and Luoshu, burst forth with boundless Dao radiance, drawing down a vast amount of starlight from the depths of the Nine Heavens, transforming it into a sea of ​​stars.
