He saw that winding and coiled purple pillar of light slowly extending and unfurling, and within the surrounding Space, streams of light surged from all directions like a tide.
It gradually transformed into a purple dragon spanning the heavens and earth, formed of pure light, its edges ethereal like smoke and mist.
Its body stretched across the entire Flare Realm, coiled in the sky. Every scale reflected the Palace below, stirring up countless fine motes of light dust as it leapt.
This was the Spirit of the Vast Sun. Even if it wasn't a true Blazing Sun Tier, its might was not something they could contend with.
"What exactly is going on?" he muttered distractedly. The last time they came in, this Spirit of the Vast Sun didn't make any movements. It wasn't until Qin Yun was beguiled by the Remnant Spirit and did some stupid things that this Spirit of the Vast Sun was awakened.
And right now, what was going on?
"That's—" He looked towards where the head of the Hao Ri dragon was, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He saw that right in front of its head, there was an imperceptible purple speck of light. Although it was quite a distance away, with his ability focusing on it, he could naturally see it clearly.
Is that a person?
His expression was filled with shock, his body twisting unsteadily.
That figure was wrapped in Purple Flames, and he could only vaguely see a pair of faintly discernible eyes.
Is that Solar Flame? This guy is forcefully barging in while enduring the Solar Flame?
His body went numb, feeling it was truly Unimaginable.
This Lost Starfire had been discovered for a long time. The Royal Court conducted research for quite a while, waiting a long time before finding the opportunity to let a few Morning Star Tiers like them enter and explore.
When its flames were vigorous, even Radiant Moon Professionals found it difficult to enter.
But on the surface of this guy's body, the flames of Hao Ri were still burning, yet he seemed unaffected, just forcefully enduring it like this.
How strong must this level of strength be? No wonder it could trigger the awakening of the Spirit of the Vast Sun.
Is it a certain Ancient King of the Five Great Sects, or is it a Profession user not from the Dust Star Sea?
This Solar Fire isolated all probing, so he couldn't see through it either and could only speculate.
In a short time, he thought of many things, even spawning a certain hope. This Solar Flame was extremely terrifying. The several guys who came in with him were all killed by that Qin Yun.
It was only because his strength was greater, but even so, at the final moment, having already achieved Spirit-Flesh Unity, his Psionic Power was still forcefully stripped by this Spirit of the Vast Sun and left behind. He was Clinging to Life here, but his body was sent flying out.
And this powerhouse before his eyes who could forcefully endure the Solar Fire might be able to take him out.
"Just, whatever you do, please don't start fighting." Worry rose in his heart. This Spirit of the Vast Sun was incredibly arrogant, and they had suffered immensely last time.
Right now, this person forcefully barging in might have already enraged this Spirit of the Vast Sun.
If they started fighting, with his current physical state, he wouldn't be able to withstand the Aftermath.
"This is that Spirit of the Vast Sun." Su Chen's throat bobbed as he looked at the dragon head before his eyes that was as massive as a mountain. From his angle, he could only see this great dragon's chin and couldn't even see its eyes.
He couldn't help but think of that small dragon on the Sovereign Stone Tablet. The gap was truly not an ordinary one. Although the tablet's might had increased a lot after combining two into one, it still fell far short of this Hao Ri dragon before him.
Solar Flame and Spirit of the Vast Sun were fundamentally two different things. The former was left behind by the death of a Blazing Sun Tier Profession user, while the latter was the Main Body of the Radiant Sun Class.
But the Spirit of the Vast Sun can probably influence this flame, or even draw upon its power, which is why it possesses such might?
Su Chen secretly speculated. The terrifying majesty Rushing Toward One firmly locked him in mid-air, making it difficult to make any other movements.
Su Chen's heart sank slightly.
How come this Spirit of the Vast Sun dashed out the moment I came in? It doesn't match what Qin Yun said. They at least explored for a while.
Could it be that Qin Yun even lied about this kind of minor detail, or is it because of the Solar Remnants on my body?
He stealthily tried Reality Anchoring, and as expected, he was tightly isolated.
Just as his heart was tight, he noticed that massive head slightly lowering, and a pair of vertical pupils as large as houses fell upon him.
Su Chen's breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and immediately after, he discovered the arrogance, indifference, and scrutiny flowing from the eyes of this Hao Ri dragon.
"Hah!" Su Chen finally felt a bit of familiarity. This flavor was too familiar to him. When he first saw the Sovereign Stone Tablet, that half-complete Spirituality had this same haughty attitude.
These damn Spiritualities were just like this, each one unbelievably arrogant. At least this Spirit of the Vast Sun hadn't shown obvious disgust.
Hao Ri had said that Divine Dawn Talent was just the threshold. Having just crossed the threshold, he naturally wouldn't be taken too seriously.
Su Chen wasn't surprised either. He originally just wanted to come in here and see what the situation was, looking for opportunities to steal a chicken. He just didn't expect to run head-on into this Spirit of the Vast Sun.
However, even if you didn't take a liking to me... you wouldn't go as far as killing me, right? At least I have the Remnant Embers protecting me; we are on the same side.
Su Chen was just speculating in his heart, when he saw the nostrils of this Hao Ri dragon expand, and two streams of airflow fiercely spewed out, turning into rolling storms that poured out.
Su Chen was awe-stricken, "It's truly no different from a living being, much higher than the Great Exalted's Spirituality to an unknown degree."
"Leave as soon as possible." An explosion rang by Su Chen's ears. The massive sound made his head a bit Stunned. The voice was muffled, heavy, and carried an unquestionable arrogance.
Is this the voice of the Hao Ri dragon?
Su Chen was taken aback, finding it somewhat Unimaginable. This Spirituality was completely unlike the Great Exalted back then, which only had rough instincts, but instead possessed true self-consciousness.
Confirming that he shouldn't be in danger, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, while also feeling somewhat unhappy, "This guy isn't even willing to let me stay here longer. At least I consumed nine drops of Divine Blood to come in, this is too impolite."
"Are there no tests or anything? At least let me try."
These Remnant Embers indeed had a certain amount of face, drawing out this Spirit of the Vast Sun, but the face wasn't that big. Let alone Selection, it didn't even give a One Dragon Phantom.
After the Spirit of the Vast Sun dropped this sentence, its body swayed, its head twisted, and the rolling storm whistled away, making the Remnant Embers around Su Chen sway.
It seemed to have lost interest and was preparing to go back.
"They really didn't fight."
The Blurred Phantom below breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but couldn't help but be astonished. Back then, after this Spirit of the Vast Sun was awakened, seeing the few of them, it was Unstoppable Rage.
But right now, with this figure forcefully barging in, the Spirit of the Vast Sun actually ignored him? Has the other party grown so strong that even the Spirit of the Vast Sun had no way to deal with him and could only let him come and go freely?
He's definitely not a Profession user from the Dust Star Sea,
he was almost certain. Those Ancient Kings and even the Emperor couldn't possibly have this kind of strength.
Just as he was hesitating whether he should To Contact the other party, he caught a glimpse of something in his peripheral vision and couldn't help but look to the side.
On the invisible barrier between the interior space and the external flames, a vortex was suddenly gradually opening. His figure trembled, growing increasingly astonished.
This is... an External Gateway?!
"Leave as soon as possible, but it didn't make me leave immediately. I still don't know what the situation is below. It wasn't easy consuming Divine Blood to come in once; it would be too much of a loss to be chased out without gaining anything."
Su Chen scanned the Palace Complex below. Without the aura lock of this Spirit of the Vast Sun, he could vaguely control his body.
He prepared to explore here a bit, see what the situation was really like, and look for opportunities to gain some advantage.
However, just as he was calculating, the Hao Ri dragon before him, which had planned to return, stopped and turned its head again.
"Could it have changed its mind and is preparing to directly make me The Chosen?" Su Chen had Flights of Fancy, but saw a certain kind of anger faintly surfacing in the eyes of this Hao Ri dragon, and the Lightning Glow around it suddenly flared up.
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.
This Spirit of the Vast Sun also has mind-reading? Does it know I'm planning to steal a chicken?
It wouldn't go that far, right? Or is it preparing to chase me away right now?
So rushed?
Su Chen was cautious, just preparing to retreat, when he discovered that the eyes of this Spirit of the Vast Sun didn't seem to be staring at him.
Behind me?
Su Chen felt A Slight Stir in One's Heart and turned to look. On the invisible barrier not far behind him, a vortex was gradually expanding, its edges sparking with golden fire.
This made him involuntarily frown, "What the hell is this thing..."
Outside the Solar Flame, its own light reflected for an unknown distance, dispelling the surrounding Nether Mist and clearing out a Silent Starry Expanse.
In interstellar Space, there was no scale to measure exactly how large an object was. Only in the distance, there was an expanse of bright light difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
Only after getting closer could one see clearly. That was an endless Interstellar Base, its metal structure platforms extending into deep space like the spine of a giant beast.
Surrounding blue and white bands of light carved cold trajectories in the Starry Expanse, their edges glowing with a faint blue light. Anti-gravity fields anchored the entire base cluster, avoiding being pulled over by the terrifying gravitational pull brought by the immense mass of the Starfire.
Several Capital Ships were docked on the outer side of the platforms. A large number of figures could vaguely be seen walking back and forth near the side portholes.
And at this moment, the surface of the base had been completely cleared. Countless cracks spread like a spiderweb, covering an extremely wide area. Even the large Carrier vessels on the edge of the base could only occupy a corner.
The Patterns of the Talisman Array were not carved, but etched into the metal substrate with some kind of nano-level craftsmanship, so subtle that they were almost indistinguishable.
Only when energy flowed through the talisman lines could those winding Patterns be seen.
The Vast Sea Emperor stood at the edge, his figure burly and upright. In his left hand, he pinched a continuously rolling bloody liquid the size of a fist, formed from a mixture of multiple colors.
In his other hand, he held some kind of misty golden vapor.
At the center of the Talisman Array, Qin Yun was standing there. The other Ancient Kings were arrayed in various positions, their expressions solemn, waiting in full readiness.
A wisp of leisurely purple fire was burning to the side.
"The Five Great Sects and the Royal Court each contributed twenty drops of Divine Blood, a total of one hundred and twenty drops, all here, along with the Power of Faith refined from many minor Evil Gods, all our accumulations over many years."
The Vast Sea Emperor tilted his head to look at the boundless purple fireball, his voice indifferent, "If it doesn't succeed..."
"As long as you follow my instructions, there will absolutely be no accidents." The voice in the flame didn't have much emotional fluctuation, acting out an arrogance unique to the Blazing Sun Tier.
"Since that's the case, then let's begin." The Vast Sea Emperor's gaze condensed. Bringing his hands together, the Divine Blood and the golden mist slammed into each other, bursting open instantly. Various magnificent lights intertwined, erupting with a silent shockwave.
The merged torrent, as if guided by an invisible force, was precisely injected into the massive Talisman Array before him. It was instantly activated, humming and vibrating incessantly.
The gazes of the other Ancient Kings condensed, and they simultaneously raised their hands, injecting energy into it.
Six Bright Moon Tier Profession users acted simultaneously, the boiling torrent of energy shaking the void until it seemed ready to tear apart.
Energy converged in the Talisman Array, the Divine Blood was rapidly consumed, and golden symbols surged like a tide.
Qin Yun's brows were tightly locked. He was already floating up uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive. Although this Remnant Spirit wasn't a Legacy left behind by a Blazing Sun Tier after death, its origin was indeed extraordinary, and it knew many bizarre Methods.
But it was exactly because he had listened to the other party's guidance that he enraged that Spirit of the Vast Sun.
Boom!
A golden pillar of light suddenly shot up from the Talisman Array below, completely submerging into his body.
All the power accumulated within Qin Yun's body. His face instantly flushed red, his pupils were filled with dazzling light, and the veins on his skin bulged, as if he would explode at any moment.
At the same time, from the Purple Flame burning to the side, a wisp of purple flame separated out. Although faint, it was extremely tenacious, drifting to the center of Qin Yun's Starfire.
"Quickly!" that voice shouted sharply.
Qin Yun didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly followed what Hao Ri said, guiding the majestic power within his body.
Boom!
A blazing pillar of light shot out from his chest, simultaneously passing through that faint purple flame.
In an instant, with that purple flame as the boundary, the golden pillar of light transformed into a Purple-Gold Torrent, like the arrow of a god, piercing through the star region Space, and gathered with a boom at the Solar Flame.
Everyone's hearts tightened, but the expected violent energy collision didn't occur. Instead, layers of ripples surfaced on the flame's surface, subsequently forming a vortex, actually truly opening this Solar Flame.
Qin Yun panted heavily, unable to resist looking at the vortex gradually surfacing on the flame's surface.
Through that vortex, dimly discernible, a continuous expanse of palaces could be seen. Some bad memories instantly surged into his mind.
Yet, he couldn't help but feel a bit amused inwardly. Several Ancient Kings, and an Emperor... probably none of them expected that what this so-called Hao Ri said, almost not a single sentence was true...
Hmm? As that vortex gradually expanded, Qin Yun's expression trembled violently, revealing a touch of astonishment, as he actually saw a section of a thick purple dragon body.
"Spirit of the Vast Sun? Why is it in an awakened state?"
"Is that the Spirit of the Vast Sun?"
The Zhenwu Ancient King soared into the Starry Expanse, his gaze blazing, even having an urge he couldn't hold back to barge in.
The expressions of the other several moved slightly, and they closely followed behind, soaring into the Starry Expanse. The Vast Sea Emperor pinched Hao Ri and followed.
"Hmm? Not only is there the Spirit of the Vast Sun, that seems to be..." The Zhenwu Ancient King's expression changed slightly, his eyes narrowing, glowing with a dark luster, and he suddenly shouted in alarm: "No, that's a person!"
A person?
The Vast Sea Emperor's face was grim, and layered golden rings surfaced in his pupils.
The Bronze Ancient King's eyes rotated like gears, a Data Torrent interweaving. The scene before his eyes continuously magnified, magnified, and magnified again.
The other Ancient Kings also used their respective Methods. Distance was not a problem for them. Through that vortex passage, they saw incredibly clearly—in front of that Spirit of the Vast Sun, there indeed was a shadowy figure, wrapped in blazing Purple Flames, completely unclear.
The other party seemed to have also noticed the gaze from the outside, turning his body slightly, a pair of faintly discernible eyes looking down at them, a look of indifference in those eyes.
