Upon closer inspection, that light was a 100,000 feet long nail!
It descended from the sky with a clear target, locking onto its destination beneath the Heavenly Fire Sea. Then, with a piercing roar, it caused the flames to surge as it plunged into the sea, heading straight for the bronze coffin.
The sea of fire erupted and magma rose endlessly.
The nail that sank into the sea of fire directly struck the bronze coffin in the depths!
The Red Moon's restriction dimmed and the coffin shook violently. In an instant, a sound that resounded through the world rang out as it completely shattered!
Countless fragments shot through the sea of fire, creating massive whirlpools that stirred up one after another. From a distance, this area appeared to be bursting with countless sparks.
A vast body that was as astonishing as the daughter of the ruler was revealed from the shattered coffin.
The body was emaciated, and it was covered in blue meridians, resembling raised mountain ranges, exuding a ferocious aura.
A tattered brown robe draped over the body, stained with mottled blood, transforming its original orange-yellow hue into the current color over countless years.
His face was withered, but it couldn't conceal his charisma. His blue eyes were like gemstones, radiating a captivating power. The bloodline of the ruler surged continuously within him.
What's even more striking about him was his hair. He had long gray hair that flowed around his body, extending in all directions and curling upwards at the ends.
Every strand of hair transformed into a wisp of soul that was roaring at the sky.
This was the main body of the ruler's heir!
He slowly lifted his head and walked forward.
With one step, he stepped out of the sea of fire.
He stood tall in the sky, with his long hair fluttering, covering the world, like boundless dark clouds.
"I was born during the golden age of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, sealed away after the arrival of the false god, and now I reappear in this sorrowful and ancient world. In my life… I enjoyed all the wealth and benefits and obtained the resources that myriad races yearned for. It's enough, it's enough."
The muttering was like thunder. The color of the world changed and the wind and clouds suddenly rose. The sea of fire churned and the surroundings trembled.
"Now, there are only two obsessions that can't be dispelled. One is to destroy the moon to remove the curses of the people, and the other is to kill the body and soul of the rebellious brother to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
"If I don't kill Li Pan, I would have let down my father, the hopes of people, and myself!"
The heir looked at the Repentance Plains in the distance. His eyes were cold and sharp, as though there was an abyss inside. He took a step forward and broke through the void.
The space churned and exploded layer by layer.
The heavenly fire was difficult to calm down and the sky was filled with wrinkles. In the Moon Worship Region, all living beings felt their hearts palpitate.
Many experts from the various races sensed this and lifted their heads in horror, looking at the Repentance Plain in the distance.
At that moment, many parts of the northern icy plain caved in. Large chunks of ice shattered and sank from the ground, and the entire land collapsed heavily because of the disappearance of the fragment of the great world at the bottom.
There was also the overflowing glacier water. As it flowed in all directions, four figures shuttled through the collapsing ice at lightning speed.
They were Xu Qing and the group.
They quickly ran and jumped out of the underground world.
Behind them, rumbling sounds continued to roar. The ice cubes smashed down and the ground transformed into a black hole, wanting to devour everything in the outside world.
In front of them, the ice layers resembled enormous jagged blades, unevenly scattered, accompanied by the chilling wind howling past them.
Fortunately, the four of them were not ordinary. At this moment, they each deployed their respective techniques. Wu Jianwu summoned a multitude of fierce beasts around him to clear the way, while the captain's approach was to use Ning Yan. He transformed this weapon into a hammer, becoming a fearsome force wherever he went.
Coupled with the pressure emitted by the skin, their journey was much smoother.
Xu Qing used the simplest method. He transformed into bizarre nether state and ignored everything.
Just like that, the four of them continued to approach the surface. On the way, the captain couldn't help but look at Xu Qing several times. He wanted to say something but hesitated, his expression filled with depression.
Actually, he was still a little dumbfounded even now. Xu Qing's appearance and what he had done really made him feel like someone had beaten him to it.
'The sixth major event in my plan after coming to the Moon Worship Region is to obtain the nail on the forehead of the third son of the ruler. After that, the eighth major event is to release the heir under the Heavenly Fire Sea…'
'However, Little Qing went to the Heavenly Fire Sea and actually… completed them all? Moreover, it wasn't even a slight completion. He even exceeded the limit and saved the third daughter of the ruler?'
'This rhythm isn't right. Shouldn't I be the one bringing him to do something big…'
The captain glanced at Xu Qing bitterly.
What made his heart churn even more was that Xu Qing actually obtained a fragment of a large world in the end.
He thought about how he had gone through so much trouble to come here just to copy the fingerprint, but Little Qing actually uprooted this place and took it all away…
"No, I must strive harder. I am extremely familiar with this place. I must reestablish the prestige of the eldest senior brother and take the lead in doing big things!"
The captain's eyes revealed determination and he sped up again.
Just like that, after about fifteen minutes, the four of them finally rushed out from underground. The moment they stepped onto the icy plain, the captain slapped his forehead and shouted.
"Little Dumpling!"
In an instant, a ball of dim fire flew out of his forehead and headed straight for the sky. The captain stepped in.
"Aren't you guys coming over!"
Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan quickly moved toward him. However, their speed was still inferior to Xu Qing's.
The instant the captain took out the sun, Xu Qing had already moved. He understood the captain too well, so he knew his motive the moment he saw his actions. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside the captain.
