Beneath the Tai Yin moon, Chang Er and Chang Xi quickly helped the elder up.
The Tai Yin Star Lord glared at Zhu Long below and said, "This fellow is truly an unlucky god."
Chang Er asked, puzzled, "Star Lord, although this Zhu Long is powerful, he doesn't cultivate curses. How did you fall into his trap?"
The Tai Yin Star Lord shook his head and said, "Zhu Long is a madman. You must never provoke him, no matter his status.
In the past, he entered the Tai Yin and I taught him a lesson, but he also found a weakness. With just this one small flaw, Zhu Long's eyes then dimmed, his sight then brightened, gaining the immense divine power to control the sun and moon."
Eastern Wasteland
The fire of the Immortal Volcano, with its heavenly might, once ignited, is beyond human control!
At least, it is far beyond what even heaven and earth mighty beings can stop.
Qing Ling raised his eyes to look at Tai Yin.
On the Tai Yin Star, the Star Lord shook his head. This was a Dragon-Phoenix tribulation; she would not intervene.
The Star Lord sighed, "If you had Zhu Long's power to control the moon, it wouldn't be impossible."
Qing Ling paused. He possessed the Great Dao of Time, but not the Great Dao of Tai Yin; he could not control the moon.
In helplessness, he pointed at his feet. A bridge of time appeared, softening into a python. The white python's head and tail connected, forming a ring that embraced the Eastern Wasteland.
The divine fires that swept through the sky howled, and the time-white python endured immense suffering.
Not only the fires of the Southern Sky, but also the ceaseless immortal fire of the Black Phoenix Holy King, that vengeful bird.
With the superposition of the two fires, their power increased greatly.
The sea of flames swept across the sky, and the world turned fiery red. In the fiery red world, all life disappeared. The Eastern Wasteland became an isolated island, the only island of life.
Beyond the isolated island, all things were annihilated.
Within the Eastern Wasteland, the great Da Luo realm experts all unleashed their divine powers, helping Qing Ling resist the divine fire. Various colored lights flashed across the sky, creating a haven for the weaker beings beneath the Eastern Wasteland.
When the sky falls, the strong will hold it up.
When tribulation comes, ancestors will stand before it.
Mighty beings have their missions; ancestors have their responsibilities.
Under the great tribulation, those of the same stance are fellow travelers.
This fire burned half of the Primordial World.
Except for the sanctuaries of the mighty beings, there was nothing but endless scorched earth.
In the East Sea, numerous flood dragons were burned to death, and countless aquatic beings perished.
Mighty beings from all sides were curious: why had Ancestral Dragon not intervened at this point?
On Phoenix Stage, the Ancestor Phoenix frowned deeply. Had she miscalculated Ancestral Dragon's patience?
This fire had caused too much death. Even if karma were not counted during the tribulation, merit would still be incurred.
No matter what, she had to force Ancestral Dragon to appear!
The Ancestor Phoenix waved her hand, and a scarlet banner rose, heading straight for the East Sea.
Endless flames surged, the earth's core malevolent fire spread, the Southern Bright Pure Fire boiled the rivers and seas, melting all things.
Even several mighty beings of the Dragon Clan were injured by this fire.
The Dragon Palace in the East Sea was shaken. A giant turtle poked its head out. It opened its mouth and spat out the Nine Nether Kan Water, protecting half of the East Sea.
Even the Southern Bright Pure Fire, capable of melting all things, could not burn through this Nine Nether Kan Water.
Qing Ling saw this scene and his heart stirred. The waters of the Yellow Springs and the River of Oblivion were both extremely Yin. Perhaps he could try?
But upon seeing the sea of immortal fire, he abandoned the thought.
Immortal fire, born from extreme Yang, would only become more potent if it touched the Yin netherworld.
Seeing the white python of time gradually weaken and about to dissipate, the Black Phoenix Holy King laughed, "Dao Master Qing Xuan, oh no, Dao Master of the Eastern Wasteland. This time, let's see how you protect the beings of the Eastern Wasteland!"
As her voice fell, she forcefully exhaled a primal fire essence from her core. The purple fire surged rapidly, instantly breaking through the time shield.
But at this moment, above Qing Ling's head, the Sun Star descended from the middle heavens. Its supreme Yang fire was overbearing, and the Solar True Fire swept away the purple fire, allowing no resistance from the immortal fire.
The Black Phoenix Holy King was greatly alarmed. Her immortal fire was a supreme fire of heaven and earth. Even the Ancestor Qing Luan could not have so easily taken it away.
She could not help but look towards the great sun in the nine heavens and say, "Who dares to be an enemy of my Phoenix Clan?"
No one responded from the Sun Star. Only a sun essence wheel descended, cleaving space. A bell chime sounded, and space fluctuated.
And Qing Ling instantly seized the opportunity. The light in his eyes burst forth, time froze, fixing the time for a thousand miles around the Black Phoenix Holy King.
Within the Sun Star, the Yang power of light was immense. At this moment, the Yin of light and the Yang of light merged, one light defining Yin and Yang, separating life and death!
Qing Ling comprehended the Divine Light of Yin and Yang from the solar divine light.
And the Black Phoenix Holy King was swept into the Sun Star by the primordial sun and moon divine light!
No one had set foot on the Sun Star in the Primordial World since its creation, except for the beings born within it.
Not for lack of desire, but lack of ability.
The Tai Yin and Tai Yang stars were formed from Pangu's eyes, protected by heaven and earth and revered by all beings. Not even those in the Hun Yuan realm could enter freely!
Qing Ling bowed respectfully towards the Sun Star. For this great kindness today, it was his turn to give thanks!
Within the Sun Star, Di Jun frowned with helplessness and said, "Tai Yi, the conflicts in the lower realms are perilous. Why did you intervene?"
Tai Yi smiled and said indifferently, "There is no 'why'. I simply saw him."
"Then you've brought a supreme mighty being into the Sun Star. What do we do about that?"
"Outside the Sun Star, we naturally flee. But within the Sun Star, what is there for me to fear?"
On Phoenix Stage, Yuan Feng frowned and coldly said, "I had forgotten about this giant turtle!"
Saying this, she threw out her hand. The heavenly fire dual maces flew out instantly, striking down the Nine Nether Kan Water. The turtle, startled, quickly retracted its head into its shell.
Although he was at the peak of the twenty-sixth heaven of Da Luo, he was far from a match for a supreme expert like Ancestor Phoenix at the thirty-second heaven.
Ya Zi, one of the nine sons of the Dragon, shouted, "Please, Grand Tutor Turtle, hold on for a moment!"
The giant turtle had no choice but to stretch its head out again and spit out a water-blue divine cauldron, collecting the surrounding sea of flames into the cauldron.
Seeing this, Ancestor Phoenix struck out with her dual maces, transforming into a phoenix and a roc, flying into the East Sea. With a peck, she shattered the divine cauldron, and with her claws, she seized the old turtle, forcing the old turtle to be carried away by the phoenix.
The phoenix and roc intended to fly back to the Southern Sky and throw the turtle into the mouth of the Immortal Volcano in the Southern Sky.
The Heavenly Phoenix possessed the ability to seal space, and the Heavenly Roc possessed the effect of suppression. For a time, the old turtle truly struggled to break free.
Just as the old turtle was about to be captured and taken out of the East Sea, a hand as white as snow reached out, scattering the phoenix and roc.
A light sigh echoed through heaven and earth, and a woman in white emerged from the East Sea. Her brows held the essence of sacredness. She was like a goddess in the world, untouched by worldly dust, unfettered by the winds of fate, and unscarred by hardship.
Her beauty brought absolute purity to the hearts of all beings.
Heaven and earth fell silent, all infected by the white dragon's sanctity.
The old turtle fell back into the East Sea and quickly transformed into human form, bowing respectfully, "Greetings, First Ancestor!"
Mighty beings throughout heaven and earth were shocked. This was the Fifth First Ancestor of the Dragon Clan, the White Dragon First Ancestor?
The White Dragon nodded, waved her delicate hand, and a white light flowed. The scarred landscape turned into embroidered beauty, a testament to creation's splendor.
The East Sea reappeared vast and boundless, its depths deep and wide.
The Phoenix Clan was momentarily stunned. Such a woman was indeed rare.
The White Dragon did not look towards the Southern Sky; her eyes naturally held no place for Ancestor Phoenix.
Therefore, with a wave of her hand, the will of heaven and earth of the East Sea surged, and the waves swept away the flame-quelling banner.
Ancestor Phoenix did not become angry. She took one step forward, and her person was already in the East Sea. She was determined to make Ancestral Dragon appear.
At this moment, she had likely understood why Ancestral Dragon had not appeared. Besides shock, there was unease in her heart. She absolutely had to make Ancestral Dragon show himself!
Because, at this very moment, if Ancestral Dragon did not appear, he would only be doing one thing: breaking through to the Hun Yuan realm!
If Ancestral Dragon became Hun Yuan, then there would be no more Phoenix Clan in the world.
Therefore, she would spare no cost!
The White Dragon looked up and saw Ancestor Phoenix over the East Sea.
The two most powerful women in the same era, at the peak of heaven and earth, met for the first time.
Yuan Feng's pupils contracted. The Fifth First Ancestor of the Dragon Clan also possessed cultivation at the thirty-first heaven!
The White Dragon sighed softly, "You shouldn't have come."
Ancestor Phoenix smiled, "Why shouldn't I have come?"
