?Although the explosive power of Mid Sphere wasn't weak to begin with, there was ultimately an upper limit to its strength. However, after it was fused with a trace of the divine fire that burned the Divine Son in the Moon Worship Region, there was a tremendous change.
This change came from its essence, and was like an upgrade, causing it to some extent embody the characteristics of the Sun of Dawn.
As such, its might was extremely terrifying. The moment it was thrown out by Xu Qing, it ignored all the obstacles in the flesh and blood vortex and the pressure from the Golden Crow claw, and entered the vortex.
It appeared in the capital of the former Heavenly Wind Dynasty. Chen Yangzi's chessboard shook a few times on it, emitting a white light. A terrifying aura rose from it.
Chen Yangzi originally felt he had the upper hand and his expression was relaxed. With all his plans successfully executed, he was confident in this capture.
However, the instant he saw Mid Sphere and sensed its aura, his pupils suddenly contracted. A thunderous shock erupted in his mind. He didn't know what it was, but the intense life-and-death crisis reached its peak, causing every hair on his body to stand on end.
Danger, extreme danger!
The sensation that every inch of his flesh, every bone in his body was trembling and conveying an immensely dangerous message sent chills down Chen Yangzi's spine, causing his mind to churn completely.
The feeling of death surged over.
He knew that he didn't have time to react and couldn't resist. At this moment, the only way out was the chessboard.
Hence, the instant the white light erupted, he directly broke off his hand that had reached into the vortex. In the next breath, the sea of white light spread out fiercely from Mid Sphere with the might to destroy the world.
In the blink of an eye, it covered Chen Yangzi's room.
Everything in this room, including the building itself, the chairs, the chessboard, and Chen Yangzi's body, was reduced to ashes at this moment. They were vaporized by the heat wave and turned into nothingness.
As for the eruption of the white light, it was only the beginning. After the sea of light drowned Chen Yangzi's residence, it rapidly spread in all directions, instantly covering the nearby buildings and the surrounding area.
The buildings collapsed and were reduced into dust. The heatwaves continued to destroy everything in its path.
From afar, the sea of light in that area formed a huge semicircular barrier. Everything inside turned to ashes.
This semicircular light barrier was still rapidly spreading.
There were no mortals in the city. They had long left with the migration of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty.
The ones living in the Imperial City now were all subordinates of the Seventh Prince and forces that had attached themselves to him.
There was no lack of experts among these people. There were many Nihility cultivators and even more Spirit Repository cultivators.
They were either loyalists of the Seventh Prince or had pledged their allegiance to him. They belonged to the troops that the Seventh Prince had established for himself in this vast region.
Every one of them had value to him and was the cornerstone of his future grand ambitions.
Hence, he didn't send them to the frontline and allowed them to stay in this safe imperial city.
However, at this moment, the eruption of the light and the terror it emitted instantly caused all the cultivators in the city to be horrified. The feeling of fear and the danger of death caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.
In the palace, the Seventh Prince was currently with a group of people, discussing the supply needed for the frontline battlefield.
One of them was from Fenghai County. His voice was still echoing in the main hall.
"I think Fenghai County can completely provide the supplies needed at the frontline. After all…"
Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from the location of Chen Yangzi's residence, directly turning the sky extremely bright and the world into nothingness.
It shook the sky and turned it red.
The impact caused the ground to tremble violently.
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed drastically. Waves of heat assaulted their faces and their hair began to burn.
The Seventh Prince instinctively stood up and looked into the distance. Shock appeared on his face. In his pupils, there was a clear reflection of an expanding semicircular light barrier.
"Sun of Dawn!!!"
The Seventh Prince lost his voice.
This calamity continued.
The eruption of the sea of light, accompanied by a scorching wave, surged into the sky, billowing endlessly. It covered a significant portion of the city, spreading to encompass nearly half of it, until it eventually extended to envelop the entire imperial capital, expanding further into a vast area.
The Taboo magic treasure from the Heavenly Wind Dynasty was activated, but it couldn't last long. In a few breaths of time, it shattered into pieces.
Countless cultivators attempted to escape, yet it was useless whether they tried to escape from air, ground, or underground; the sweeping sea of light turned innumerable cultivators into ashes in an instant.
The spread of the scorching waves engulfed too much, the burning human figures, the piercing cries; the imperial city turned into a purgatory on earth.
The sea of light only dissipated after about fifteen minutes. The lingering warmth of the heat wave and the smell of burnt flesh filled this place.
The imperial city… no longer existed.
There was only scorched earth, no buildings, no bones. Everything had turned to dust.
This Heavenly Wind Imperial City that had lasted for countless years was erased today.
Only less than a thousand people survived this calamity. The Seventh Prince was naturally among them but all of them were in an extremely sorry state and each of them had injuries.
At that moment, the disheveled Seventh Prince, who was watching everything from afar, no longer had the calmness he had in the past. His body was trembling and his eyes were red. His emotions had already entered madness.
His demeanor, his pride, and his arrogance all collapsed at this moment.
"Ahhh!!"
"Who is it? Who did it!!"
"Who threw a Sun of Dawn here!!"
The Seventh Prince's voice was heart-rending and his eyes were bloodshot. He couldn't help losing his composure. Even now, he couldn't accept what he was seeing and what he had just experienced.
He couldn't accept that the capital city, which was fine a while ago, had turned into ruins.
He thought of the nearly a million subordinates who were loyal to him, a single word from him can make them flatten everything. There were also those selected from various forces, sects, and clans that had joined him.
Every one of them was his wealth and preparation.
But now… everything was gone.
All his years of preparation were in vain!
The Seventh Prince's heart ached intensely and his face was pale. A mouthful of blood gushed out of his body and his body kept trembling. The veins on his forehead bulged as he let out a miserable scream.
Pain, pain that seeped into his bones and soul!
He couldn't imagine and didn't understand why this happened. Why… might a Sun of Dawn explode here and destroy everything he had?
His heart palpitated with fear. He even almost died.
As a prince, especially a prince who occupied a large region and had a bright future, he had never thought about death. However, today… death was so close to him.
If it wasn't for the fact that King Tian Lan had left some arrangements for him, he might not have been able to see the sun tomorrow!
While the Seventh Prince was trembling in fear, his subordinates finished investigating this matter.
A figure flew out from the scorched earth and dust. After he arrived in front of the Seventh Prince, he immediately knelt down. With blood at the corners of his mouth, he spoke in a low voice.
"Your Highness, we have some results…"
The Seventh Prince abruptly turned his head and stared fixedly at the person in front of him. His breathing was hurried as he went up and grabbed him, gritting his teeth.
"Speak!"
"The source of the eruption of the Sun of Dawn comes from… Chen Yangzi's residence…" The person spoke in a low voice.
"Chen Yangzi was executing the mission His Highness arranged for him regarding Fenghai County. Perhaps… this is revenge from Fenghai County…"
The person didn't dare to continue. With Chen Yangzi's cultivation, even if he self-destructed, it was impossible for him to display the might of the Sun of Dawn. Hence, it wasn't difficult to guess that the cause of this was from the mission he was carrying out.
However, this guess frightened him and the surviving thousand people.
The Seventh Prince's hand trembled and his heart churned uncontrollably. He suddenly looked in the direction of Fenghai County and his eyes were filled with killing intent. If gazes can kill and transform into the Sun of Dawn, then Fenghai County might definitely not exist in his gaze at all.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
"Fenghai County can make the Sun of Dawn. Although its might can't be compared to the real thing, it's still earth-
shattering!!"
"This is the reason why we lost contact with the 10,000-strong army in Fenghai County!"
The Seventh Prince muttered inwardly. He wanted to return to his calm state and suppress the immense pain in his heart. However, his trembling body and the fear hidden in the depths of his eyes faintly exposed his heart.
He was afraid.
"I only asked Chen Yangzi to capture Zi Xuan as a vessel to test Fenghai County… However, Fenghai County actually threw a Sun of Dawn at me…"
"Xu Qing, it must be his order. He's warning me not to provoke him or touch his woman… Xu Qing, you're really ruthless!"
When the Seventh Prince thought of this, he spat out another mouthful of blood and retracted his gaze with great difficulty. He stared blankly at the scorched earth in front of him and finally said through gritted teeth.
"Let's leave this place and hide. We'll wait… wait for my uncle to return!"
The Seventh Prince felt aggrieved, but there was more palpitations and fear. He was worried that… another Sun of Dawn might come in a while.
Before King Tian Lan returned, he didn't want to provoke Fenghai County. He also didn't dare to. He felt that they were a group of lunatics, terrifying lunatics who had control of Sun of Dawn.
At the same time, the instance this Heavenly Wind Capital was wiped out by the explosion of Mid Sphere, in the main hall of Fenghai County's County Governor's residence, the flesh and blood vortex collapsed.
Chen Yangzi's outstretched Golden Crow hand landed on the ground. After rapidly squirming, it transformed into Chen Yangzi's extremely weak body.
After one's cultivation attained a certain level, as long as their bodies weren't completely destroyed, it wouldn't be difficult for them to regenerate. However, the price was very high.
As for Chen Yangzi's previous choice, it was his only way out. Only by cutting off his arm and regenerating himself with the help of his arm can he survive that fatal situation.
At that moment, after his broken hand transformed into his body, he immediately stepped back. His face was pale and his expression was solemn. There was horror in his eyes as he looked at the collapsed flesh and blood vortex and then instinctively looked at Xu Qing.
"You… What did you throw in just now?"
