The first time the Sun of Dawn of the human race appeared in the eyes of the myriad races in the Wanggu Continent was during the battle with the Black Heaven Race a few years ago.
In that battle, the Black Heaven Race and some other nonhuman races attacked the human race. The flames of war spread to the Grand Imperial Capital Region.
The human race was on the verge of collapse.
In the judgment of all parties, the human race had almost no hope in that battle back then. Although they wouldn't be exterminated, there was a high chance that they would lose more than half of the Grand Imperial Capital Region.
As for the seven counties, it would depend on their fates.
No one expected that at that critical moment, the Sun of Dawn would appear on the battlefield with terrifying might that shook the Wanggu.
All the races who had been paying attention fell silent. Black Heaven retreated in defeat and the other nonhuman races who were attacking the human race were horrified.
It was also in that battle that the name of the Sun of Dawn spread throughout Wanggu. Even a race as powerful as the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race developed a strong interest in the Sun of Dawn.
The research on the Sun of Dawn naturally became the focus of the various races.
As the number one heaven's chosen of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, Flame Mystic also had the knowledge of the power of the Sun of Dawn. Hence, when she saw the item in Erniu's hand, she immediately recognized it and her expression changed drastically.
Her pupils contracted and thunder rumbled in her mind. The intense life-and-death crisis caused her to retreat without hesitation.
If a regional treasure of this level exploded, the range of impact would be extremely great. The Imperial Palace here was an independent space, but its range was ultimately limited.
Once the Sun of Dawn was detonated here, the storm would instantly envelop everything.
Although the layout of the Imperial Palace and the immense pressure of this place were equally astonishing, filled with a sense of vastness, capable perhaps of containing the power of the Sun of Dawn, the living beings here would undoubtedly face unprecedented life-threatening danger.
Not only was Flame Mystic retreating, but the expressions of Tian Mozi and the other two, who were advancing, also changed drastically.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Their hair stood on end, every inch of flesh and bone trembling, conveying a sense of unparalleled danger that churned their minds completely.
They didn't hesitate at all. Even though their advancement was interrupted, they immediately stood up and used all their strength to protect themselves. At the same time, they used different methods to leave this place.
In an instant, the situation in the entire Imperial Palace changed.
Only the Sun of Dawn continued to fall, passing through the gaps in the star dragons that were swept away by the sonic boom and falling through the empty space.
Due to the appearance of the sonic boom earlier, the altar below was clearly revealed and there were no obstructions.
Hence, this Sun of Dawn landed on the altar and the purple-gold coffin there!
A piercing light erupted immediately.
The might of this Sun of Dawn, which was formed by the ancient sun, surpassed the norm. This was especially so when Xu Qing had added the flesh of Crimson Goddess back then.
This caused this item to contain incomparably terrifying might. It was enough to be Xu Qing and the captain's trump card.
However, because it was a one-time use item, it had more meaning in terms of deterrence.
At this moment, it was no longer a deterrence but a true activation!
An indescribably vast and terrifying power rose from within and began to erupt.
In the blink of an eye, its light shot out violently, illuminating the starry sky and covering the ground!
The sky turned red.
The ground quaked intensely.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})For the first time, the wails of the 108 star faces in the sky were interrupted. Their expressions were filled with pain. Under the sweeping of the light and heat, they were instantly reduced to ashes. They were evaporated by the heat wave and turned into nothingness.
The 108 stars themselves didn't last long either. Under the light and heat, they no longer existed!
The eruption of the Sun of Dawn had just begun. After the sea of light covered the sky, it also enveloped everything else.
The chimes, drums, canopy, and the huge star dragons were all covered by it.
There was also the altar that bore the brunt, as well as the mountains and rivers, the armored soldiers, and countless miscellaneous skins under the altar.
Everything in sight was red. The heat wave followed the sea of light, wanting to destroy everything.
One could imagine that if nothing unexpected happened, the Imperial Palace would soon turn into ashes. Even the entire imperial tomb and the star it was on would be enveloped by the Sun of Dawn.
As for the people here, they had also arrived at the boundary of life and death. Flame Mystic's hair was disheveled and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She let out a deep shout and punched out one punch after another. Her body even rolled back to resist the light and heat.
However, it was obvious that even she couldn't hold on for too long. Death was approaching.
There was no need to mention Fan Shishuang and the others. The three of them seemed to have been heavily injured and their souls were being destroyed. They had already gone crazy and used countless methods to save themselves, but it was clearly useless.
It had to be said that the captain's move was too ruthless.
This was because not only was he ruthless to others, but he was also… equally ruthless to himself.
He and Xu Qing were also within the range of the Sun of Dawn.
A life-and-death crisis also enveloped them.
However, the preparations in advance allowed him to last longer. The instant the Sun of Dawn exploded, he opened his mouth and glanced at Xu Qing.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Xu Qing understood without there being a need for verbal communication. He didn't hesitate at all and transformed into a stream of light that entered the captain's mouth.
After entering the captain's body, Xu Qing's cultivation erupted completely. His protective power spread out and the might of the extreme Yin rose. All the methods and divine arts used for defense were used in this life-and-death crisis.
The captain did the same. A face appeared in his pupils and his chest transformed into a vortex. Four blue arms tore out of his flesh and quickly performed a series of hand seals, fusing with Xu Qing's power to form an ice cube.
At the same time, his eyes revealed madness as he took out a large amount of human skin. They were all his own skin and he draped them all over his body. Finally, he took out a green jade slip and held it tightly in his hand.
The power of time actually spread out from the jade slip.
"Junior Brother!"
As the captain roared, Xu Qing, who was in his body, immediately unfolded the Sundial. As it rumbled and rotated, it augmented the time ability of the jade slip and added more defense.
However, even so, under the eruption of the Sun of Dawn, the ice cube collapsed, the power of time distorted, Erniu's skin burned, and his flesh was torn apart. His four blue arms began to collapse.
Xu Qing was the same. Cracks emerged on the Sundial and his cultivation base was rumbling. All his defense didn't seem to be able to resolve the key problem. At most, it would delay his death.
However, he trusted the captain.
Even though the captain's insanity was courting death time and time again, every time… he still had a chance of survival. He didn't really want to die.
This was indeed the case!
As the Sun of Dawn erupted, poised to destroy the Imperial Palace, turn the world into one of extreme light, and intending to turn the world into nothingness. The resistance from the imperial palace appeared!
This was the tomb and the palace of an Immortal Emperor. Although this region was far inferior to Wanggu, from a certain perspective, the person buried here was extremely noble.
Needless to say, there was also the arrangement of the gods here.
Hence, at the next instant, the red chimes began to ring and arrange themselves.
The drums that were burned by the flames started to beat and fused into the chimes one by one.
The star dragons let out a deafening roar and rushed over.
From afar, they resembled eight fingers!
The chimes were the fingernails, the drums were the crescent moons on the nails, and the dragons were the illusory fingers.
On the ground, on all the burning skins, the eyes that were closed opened in unison.
The illusory finger gained skin!
Those countless burning armored soldiers, all of them stirred, their breaths erupting in an instant, all revived together, raising military spirits, raising deathly aura, rushing towards the sky, transforming into a palm.
One palm, eight fingers!
The mountains and rivers rose, transforming into a vast array formation that became the fingerprints!
Even more astonishing was the altar itself, emitting black light, symbolizing destruction, blending with the light and heat of this place, and infusing the black light into the palm, making it pitch black.
What followed was the heartbeat from the coffin on the altar again.
Thump, thump, thump!
The appearance of the heartbeat caused the huge palm that could blot out the sky to directly revive and grab at the erupting Sun of Dawn!
At this moment, the light was covered.
At this moment, the heat was isolated.
Everything was enveloped by the black palm.
However, the Sun of Dawn was a regional treasure, and this one was even more extraordinary. Hence, even with the counterattack of the Imperial Palace, it couldn't be stopped easily.
Hence, at the next instant, the black palm and the light and heat of the Sun of Dawn started an intense resistance. This lasted until a rumbling sound that shook the entire tomb rang out like countless bolts of lightning exploding.
The black palm disappeared, and so did the Sun of Dawn.
The terror that came from the Sun of Dawn was finally neutralized.
In the sky, Flame Mystic was in an extremely sorry state and her entire body was covered in blood.
In the distance, Tian Mozi and the other two's bodies were incomplete. Their weakness was incomparably intense and the fear they felt was monstrous.
This was because they were just a step away from dying here.
The captain was also in a sorry state. He had used up all his methods and his entire body was covered in cracks, as though it could shatter at any moment. When he noticed that Flame Mystic and the others were fine, he seemed to feel a little regretful.
However, at the next instant, his eyes lit up as he looked down.
Xu Qing's figure also flew out of his body. He suppressed his exhaustion and injuries and also looked down.
The appearance of the Imperial Palace below had changed drastically.
The chimes, drums, armored soldiers, mountains and rivers… All of them turned into nothingness. Even the altar had a huge crack that pierced through the coffin.
The coffin split into two and slid to the sides.
Exposed within was a corpse dressed in golden-threaded jade attire!
Completely withered, adorned with an emperor's crown, beneath the golden-threaded jade attire lay an imperial robe.
Although the attire faintly hinted at majesty, it lacked his dignity when he was alive, for on his face lay a spider.
It fused with the corpse and was indistinguishable.
Hence, the spider's face became his face.
"The sound wave removed the barrier and the Sun of Dawn broke through the seal. Finally… we opened the coffin of the ancestral emperor of this world!"
"Junior Brother, let's go!"
The insanity in the captain's eyes rose again. With a sway of his body, he rushed toward the corpse below. Xu Qing gritted his teeth fiercely. At such a critical moment, he naturally wouldn't give up. His eyes were also filled with madness as he rushed toward the corpse.
Tian Mozi and the other two, who were in the air, were already powerless to do anything. Seeing that Xu Qing and the captain were moving, their hearts skipped a beat and they instinctively retreated rapidly.
They were afraid and tired.
Only Flame Mystic's hatred completely erupted at this moment as she sped toward Erniu.
No matter what the other party wanted to do, what she wanted to do was very simple. She wanted to kill this thief and destroy everything!
The instant the three figures rapidly approached the corpse on the altar, the eyes of the spider face that had fused into the withered corpse suddenly opened!
It was a pair of golden eyes.
They were the god's eyes!
