After fully absorbing the divine power contained within the Black Apple, Su Yuan naturally understood everything about this divine technique, as if it were instinctual.

Demon Cloud Divine Thunder is a unique level divine technique where extreme evil gives birth to righteousness.

The reason it’s called demonic is that its activation method is extremely malevolent and not tolerated by heaven and earth.

Once this divine technique takes effect, the user’s demonic nature will spread like a plague, eroding the surrounding power of heaven and earth, and even the rules of heaven and earth.

When this erosion reaches a certain level, the user’s demonic nature will partially replace the Heavenly Dao of the area, allowing the user to freely wield the power of heaven and earth to condense Tribulation Thunder, attacking any target within the domain from all angles.

Moreover, this method of seizing part of the Heavenly Dao’s authority is very stealthy, undetectable even by the Heavenly Dao itself for a period of time.

Simply put, it is a terrifying divine technique that modifies the rules of heaven and earth, turning the world into one’s own autocratic stage... the Thunder Technique is merely a trivial part of it.

Mastering this divine technique means that you, to some extent, embody the Heavenly Dao, seeing all things as insignificant.

From the concept of this divine technique, it is far more sinister than the Corruption Divine Kingdom, which wreaks havoc on all living things.

But why can this divine technique also give rise to ’righteousness from extreme evil’?

It is naturally because the possessor of the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, after replacing the Heavenly Dao of a certain area with this divine technique, will also transform into the Heavenly Dao, judging all beings.

Under your will, what you deem correct will be correct, what you deem wrong will be wrong.

With judges and referees on your side, how can anyone question your righteousness?

No problem whatsoever!

"Tsk tsk, replacing heaven’s will with one’s own heart? What an evil divine technique... but I like it."

After experiencing the effects of the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, Su Yuan secretly marveled.

He found that this divine technique had certain similarities with the Demon Technique·Finger Technique, but its concept was evidently higher.

And inspired by the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, Su Yuan finally clarified the Dao most suitable for him.

"My Dao path should not be simply confined to a single great Dao, but should be the amalgamation of all Demon Daos, with the most sinister and bizarre great Dao as its foundation."

"This great Dao exists within the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, and also within the Demon Technique·Finger Technique, its name is... Immortal Tribulation?"

Su Yuan murmured as if in a dream, unconsciously uttering the words ’Immortal Tribulation.’

Then he startled himself with his own words.

Isn’t he supposed to be searching for a Dao path that aligns with himself? Why is it linked to Immortal Tribulation?

But soon, Su Yuan understood the reason.

Immortal Tribulation naturally cannot be the name of that most sinister and bizarre great Dao, but rather its manifestation.

That catastrophe which destroyed the ancient cultivation civilization and annihilated countless beings in an instant was precisely the tangible manifestation of a presence that replaced heavenly will, changing the world with its own will.

"Good grief, did I just bump into the ultimate big boss?"

Su Yuan muttered in surprise, with a hint of self-mockery.

He diligently explored the insights he gained from the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder and finally discovered the name of the great Dao contained within it.

Primordial Dao.

With Su Yuan’s current knowledge, he could not completely fathom the true essence of the Primordial Dao.

But it can be confirmed that the ’Primordial’ in Primordial Dao is definitely not the same as the ’Primordial’ in the mythological Great Luo Golden Immortal from his previous life.

In any case, it is a great Dao that sounds very impressive.

And the method to find the essence of this great Dao is simple — just follow through the remnants of the Immortal Tribulation.

Wherever there are ruins destroyed by the Immortal Tribulation, there will certainly be residual Primordial Tribulation Qi, and contained within this Qi is the essence of the Primordial Dao.

Of course, calling it ’essence’ is actually an exaggeration; it’s at most scraps among the scraps of the Primordial Dao, merely residual traces of its aura.

But even these scraps are enough for Su Yuan to achieve Core Formation and not worry about the lack of Primordial Dao essence before reaching Nascent Soul.

Furthermore, in the process of forming the Primordial Golden Core and continuously refining Primordial Essence to enhance himself, the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, which belongs to the Primordial Dao, will also increase significantly in power.

"In short, the prospects of pursuing the Primordial Dao are very promising, a definite protagonist route."

"But correspondingly, the further one walks down this path, the more likely one will directly face the terrifying presence that initiated the Immortal Tribulation, in a contest of the great Dao."

"And obviously, I would be the one crushed instantly."

Su Yuan sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, carefully analyzing the pros and cons of this Dao path.

Contesting interests with an existence that destroyed the entire cultivation civilization would be daunting and cause hesitation for anyone, and Su Yuan was no exception.

Yet after pondering for a long time, Su Yuan finally gritted his teeth and decided to venture onto this path.

After all, he and the entire Blue Star Federation would eventually confront the Immortal Tribulation; what’s the difference whether it’s sooner or later?

Walk the path of Immortal Tribulation, leaving no path for the Immortal Tribulation to take.

In combating the Immortal Tribulation, the Primordial Dao is undoubtedly more useful than any other Dao path!

And most importantly... the Primordial Dao really sounds cool, it suits Su Yuan, after all, both share the character Yuan.

"Since I’ve decided on the goal, the next step is to quickly gather and refine Primordial Essence."

"As for the essences of other Demon Daos, there’s no rush; they can be assimilated and absorbed anytime after breaking through to the Golden Core."

Su Yuan contemplated the specifics of condensing the Inner Core.

As far as he knew, there were two locations where residual Primordial Tribulation Qi remained.

The first is the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm, the site of the Vermilion Face and White Bones observation. When he initially entered this Secret Realm, the Demon Sect disciples slain by the Immortal Tribulation all maintained their original forms... of course, they were later scattered by Su Yuan.

Putting aside the matter of Su Yuan scattering someone’s ashes, the exceedingly intact Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm must contain a large amount of Primordial Tribulation Qi remnants.

However, only those who resonate with the Primordial Dao can discover the tribulation qi and refine it into Primordial Essence—Su Yuan, who has mastered the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, happens to fall into this category.

The second location is not far from the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm; it is the Dragon King Secret Realm where Long Bai is located, also known as the Dragon Palace ruins.

Besides, secret realms and worlds similar to Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm and Dragon King Secret Realm should also have remnants of Primordial Tribulation Qi.

After all, the range affected by the Immortal Tribulation is really vast, and as long as the places were once hubs of cultivation civilization and haven’t been destroyed by later civilizations, Primordial Tribulation Qi must exist.

"Haha, the being who initiated the Immortal Tribulation truly left me a grand gift."

"If it weren’t for the Immortal Tribulation, I definitely wouldn’t find the Primordial Tribulation Qi so easily; I would have been stuck at the stage of condensing the Inner Core."

"I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse."

Su Yuan pondered these thoughts for a while before vigorously shaking his head, discarding these ideas, and earnestly consolidating his rapidly growing cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

In two days, Su Yuan thoroughly stabilized his Inner Core cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Peak, his foundation solid as a mountain, reaching the brink of a breakthrough.

Stepping out of the quiet chamber, the first person he saw was Chen Nuoyi, who was guarding outside.

"So, how is it going? Have you found the path suitable for you? Regarding the Essence of the Great Dao, is there anything I and my master can help you with?"

Chen Nuoyi inquired with concern.

Su Yuan nodded with a smile:

"Indeed, I need Senior Wu Luo’s full support."

Chen Nuoyi’s beautiful eyes slightly brightened: "Specifically, how can we help?"

Su Yuan: "Just move the entire Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm and Dragon King Secret Realm over to me, that’s all. There might be something I need in these two secret realms, and I want to use them for a test."

"And if the attempt succeeds, I might need more similar secret realms to help me break through my cultivation."

Chen Nuoyi was a bit dumbfounded when she heard this.

Move the entire secret realm to Su Yuan? What kind of ridiculous request is this?

Moreover, the difficulty of this request is quite high.

If Su Yuan himself were on Blue Star, everything would be easier said than done, but now he’s far away in the Celestial Law World, and just the transmission cost would be astronomical.

However, since Su Yuan made such a request, Chen Nuoyi solemnly nodded:

"Alright, I will truthfully explain to my master."

Su Yuan thought for a moment and added:

"Considering the timing, Teacher Taibai probably hasn’t departed yet. We can ask him to carry these two secret realms along, so there’s no need to specially transport the secret realms, which can reduce certain costs."

"Also, I will try my best to find similar secret realms locally within the Celestial Law World, to avoid repeatedly troubling Senior Wu Luo and the others."

The young girl nodded slightly, feeling a sudden sense of urgency within her.

Su Yuan had already formed an Outer Golden Core, and in a few months, he would become an Inner Golden Core. She needed to catch up quickly.

"Perhaps I could also attempt the path of the Double Golden Core, with the Outer Core being a Sword Pill from the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, and the Inner Core condensed using the Dragon Pearl Technique of the Dragon Race."

The young girl had such a thought sprout in her mind.

With the Dragon Emperor True Body, she’s no different from a human-shaped True Dragon. Once she forms the core using the Inner Core Technique, the Golden Core will have all the characteristics of a Dragon Pearl, and of the Dragon King level.

In this way, even if she can’t compare to Su Yuan’s Divine-Created Outer Pill, it shouldn’t be too far off.

As she was thinking this, the young girl suddenly heard Su Yuan say:

"By the way, Nuoyi, are you interested in the path of Double Golden Cores?"

"I can’t help much with the Inner Core Technique, but for the Outer Core Technique, you can learn my Divine-Created Outer Pill Method... Although this Secret Technique is very challenging, with your talent, you should be able to master it smoothly."

Even though the Divine-Created Outer Pill Method is no less than any complete Divinity Transformation Inheritance, Su Yuan’s tone was very casual.

It sounded like a common everyday conversation, as if offering Chen Nuoyi a piece of chicken drumstick while having a meal.

Chen Nuoyi: "..."

For a moment, the young girl didn’t know how to respond.

After a while, she finally said:

"I don’t have a Divinity Transformation Treasure."

Then, without hesitation, Su Yuan replied:

"Isn’t the Dragon Emperor Coin an Immortal Treasure? Though nominally mine, only you and Long Bai have unlimited loan privileges; you’re more suited to merge with this Immortal Treasure."

"Besides, Purple Gold Old Deng... cough cough, isn’t Purple Gold Dragon Venerable Senior still alive? Who knows, we might encounter him again someday."

"By then, we’ll just heavily explode his gold coins, and directly explode a Dragon Race exclusive Immortal Treasure."

Chen Nuoyi’s mouth twitched, only feeling that Su Yuan’s words were full of things to complain about.

Is Su Yuan a specialist in exploding Old Deng’s gold coins or something...

Since Su Yuan had already gotten to this point, Chen Nuoyi no longer declined, nodding lightly.

After all, the Divinity Transformation Treasure merged with the Divine-Created Outer Pill can be separated anytime, and can be returned when Su Yuan needs it.

But even so... it’s still quite touching.
