"Half a year for a round trip, so they should arrive in three months. It has already been two and a half months since I purified the Mist Embers, so it should be soon."
"I don't know what the situation is on their side."
The grayish-white land gradually crumbled, and Su Chen opened his eyes, having already returned to the Nether Tower.
The main purpose of To Contact Hei Tuo this ti was to determine the other party's movents and see if he would pose a threat to him in the short term.
As for asking for Divine Blood, it was just sothing he did in passing. He didn't expect Hei Tuo to actually be willing to give it to him.
"I guess my Seizing the Initiative this ti also made him Stunned. He's not sure if Zhou Yunyang really deceived him or not, which dispelled part of his anger towards , his Believer."
"Added to the fact that I indirectly set the target for the Divine Blood on Su Chen, that's why he was willing to give it to ."
Su Chen speculated in his heart. Although there was an unexpected joy, his main purpose this ti wasn't accomplished; he still didn't know Hei Tuo's movents.
Su Chen To Think about the exchange between the two just now. Not telling him, this Believer, probably wasn't due to wariness.
Hei Tuo's words were mostly directed at distrust towards Zhou Yunyang and anger over his Believer seemingly being deceived.
But he didn't generate any doubts about his Believer himself. Su Chen further deduced: "Since it's not wariness, it ans he truly doesn't need my help, which also ans he hasn't arrived near the Bronze Sect yet."
"Asking To Contact him after three months... could it be that he won't arrive at the Bronze Sect until three months later?"
"By that ti, nearly half a year will have passed since he awakened. He's probably descending in so remote corner again... What exactly is Lao Hei doing? It shouldn't be his Main Body descending. If he gets surrounded and killed, he'll really die."
Su Chen muttered inwardly. Not being able to figure out what Lao Hei was exactly doing always left a faint, lingering worry in his heart.
"But as long as I don't go out, it shouldn't be a big problem. Even entering Dragon Abyss is a hurdle, let alone entering the Bronze Core. Moreover, I have the Trump Card of 'Great Sovereign, Save '."
Su Chen opened the Status Panel and glanced at it. Not only was there 'Great Sovereign, Save ', but he could also issue one directive to the Great Exalted.
The only thing he wasn't too sure about was exactly what Tier the Great Exalted's strength was at. Was it comparable to a true Morning Star Tier, or was it weaker, or stronger?
"The Might of complete Spirituality cannot compare to a true Morning Star Tier, but it should be stronger than an 8th-Rank Professional. The Great Exalted swallowed the Professional Spirituality, so he's guaranteed to have this level of strength..."
Su Chen estimated. The hardest thing to figure out was still the exact situation regarding the Professional Form evolved by the Profession Panel.
Whether it was just a word ga floating on it, or if there really was such a group of guys existing in so Space, he couldn't figure it out either.
"But regardless, after multiple Mist Embers enhancents, as long as it's not Hei Tuo's Main Body descending, saving shouldn't be a big problem."
"And by that ti, if nothing unexpected happens, nine tis out of ten the Ancient King will also be able to return."
Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease, but he still couldn't help sighing.
In the end, it was still a lack of strength. If he were a Morning Star Tier now, as long as he didn't face Hei Tuo's Main Body, he wouldn't be afraid at all.
His gaze subsequently moved up, landing on the Profession Developnt Progress of the World-Reflecting Thunder Ember. It had already reached 89%, not far from advancing to the 7th-Tier.
Exhaling a long breath, Su Chen adjusted his condition and looked at the two drops of Heituo Divine Blood hovering before his eyes. "These eleven drops of Divine Blood... I wonder if they're enough to support until I enter that Lost Starfire. If these eleven drops aren't enough, then it'll be troubleso."
About to make the attempt, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a bit more Anxious. After all, that was a place even the Ancient Kings were extrely fixated on, and the Faceless Ghost and other Great Eldritch Gods also seed to covet it imnsely.
"After entering, I still don't know what the situation is. According to Qin Yun, they didn't encounter any danger imdiately after entering. It was only after inexplicably triggering that Spirit of the Vast Sun that danger erupted."
"Although Qin Yun's words cannot be fully trusted, he probably wouldn't falsify such small details unrelated to the overall situation. It's just that if every entry requires consuming this much Divine Blood..."
Su Chen composed himself and suppressed his Thoughts. Thinking about things after entering was a bit too early when he hadn't even entered yet.
"Regardless, I have to try first."
With A Slight Stir in One's Heart, the Solar Remnants fused with the Great Exalted darted out from his body again, attaching to one of the drops of Heituo Divine Blood.
Whoosh!
The fla suddenly expanded, leaping up like a living creature, illuminating the dark interior of the Nether Tower brightly and enveloping Su Chen completely within.
Having experienced it once, he wasn't panicked. He reached out and grasped another drop of Divine Blood.
Beneath his feet, a grayish-white land seemingly overlaid with a filter spread out.
Arriving beneath that Lost Starfire once more, Su Chen looked around. It looked no different from when he ca last ti—still desolate and deathly still. Not even a speck of Nether Mist could be seen in his field of vision, only air distorted by the scorching heat.
The Purple Fla churning around his body also began to drift upward, starting to grow like a sapling breaking through the soil.
Just like last ti, not long after, the Solar Remnants circling him began to slowly dim.
At the sa ti, an indescribable scorching heat assailed him from the outside, like magma piercing through a mountain, the searing Aura penetrating his flesh and rushing straight to his limbs and bones.
Su Chen reacted very quickly, taking out another drop of Divine Blood. It was imdiately swallowed by the Solar Remnants, and the scorching heat from his surroundings gradually subsided.
The spreading pillar of light above his head began to grow again. Su Chen tilted his head up and looked, muttering inwardly: "Do I really have to slowly spread it all the way to that Solar Fla? How much Divine Blood will this cost?"
The drop of Divine Blood he added was quickly consud clean. Su Chen had no choice but to take out another drop, then another drop, then another drop.
The Fire Pillar above his head was like a crystal pillar shooting straight into the sky, the hot airwaves distorting the surrounding Space. It seed to have risen extrely high.
But Su Chen roughly estimated that currently, it was probably only a few hundred ters.
"A miscalculation, it seems I'm going to get scamd."
Su Chen's expression changed slightly, his heart bleeding. Looking at this montum, wanting to spread it up to that Solar Fla, let alone ten drops, even a hundred drops wouldn't be enough.
Throwing Lao Hei in would probably be enough, right?
But since things had co to this, he couldn't possibly stop. He could only numbly take out Divine Blood and add it in, hoping for a variable.
However, just as he took out the ninth drop...
The Fire Pillar above his head stopped rising, seemingly touching so kind of boundary. A faint "crackle" ca from the depths of the Firmant, like sothing disintegrating in the high heat.
"Hmm? A variable?" Su Chen felt A Slight Stir in One's Heart. Before he could think, his body was suddenly enveloped by an irresistible force, as if suddenly lifted from the bottom of the Fire Pillar by an invisible giant hand, abruptly rushing from the very bottom of the Fire Pillar straight to the very top.
The rapid speed made his cheeks hurt, sowhat deford.
Following closely, the Fire Pillar below continuously contracted inward. Its diater shrank by half, seemingly accumulating power. The flas enveloping him beca increasingly dense, eventually appearing like a liquid.
Just as the Fire Pillar condensed to its extre, the surroundings seed to solidify for a mont. The originally surging tide-like flas all around suddenly stagnated, trembled, and let out a low hum.
Dense, spiderweb-like purple Patterns even surfaced around him, flashing silently In the Void.
"What is this trying to do..." Su Chen's heart trembled slightly. At this mont, the accumulated energy in these Purple Flas was simply terrifying, like a core about to detonate.
Until a certain mont, Su Chen's expression abruptly changed, and the Purple Flas fiercely erupted, charging straight out.
He only felt as if he had been flung out by a terrifying power. His entire body trembled violently as he advanced towards that Solar Fla at a speed invisible to the naked eye, dragging a large expanse of purple light flas behind him.
"So it wasn't really trying to connect, but accumulating power. Thank goodness..." Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The surrounding scenery turned into blurry ribbons of light that swiftly swept past his eyes, his ears filled with the howling wind and low hums.
He could barely see anything in his peripheral vision, only the purple fireball covering the sky constantly enlarging.
"Nine drops, only consud nine drops, not bad." Su Chen calculated briefly. It was even one drop less than his plan.
The speed of the Remnant Embers propelling him forward was incredibly fast, the fireball before his eyes growing larger and larger. Previously, when he was below, this Solar Fla had filled more than half of his field of vision.
Right now, it had almost covered his entire field of vision, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.
Until the Remnant Embers coiling around his body completely fused with this Solar Fla, Su Chen subconsciously narrowed his eyes. The purple fire streams coiled around his body like living creatures. Although the colors of the external fla and the Remnant Embers were the sa, their specific physical forms were sowhat different.
The external fla beyond the Remnant Embers didn't seem to be burning, but rather Patterns rotating and leaping at an extrely fast frequency, like being pulled by invisible threads, only presenting a form of fla.
His breaths brought out traces of white mist, which were swallowed by the churning purple sea of flas around him in the blink of an eye.
Su Chen could vaguely sll a strange tallic scent mixed with a scorched aroma, and seemingly an indescribable scent. If he had to describe it, it was like the sll of boiling Chinese dicine from his past life.
His eardrums buzzed, as if the entire world was resonating. The Remnant Embers pushed aside the external flas, continuously advancing inwards.
Without thinking, one could know that the temperature here was probably terrifyingly high.
"If I didn't have the help of these Remnant Embers, I'm afraid I would be burned to ashes in an instant." Su Chen kept a drop of Divine Blood pinched in his hand at all tis to respond to any situation.
"To tamorphosis into True Radiance Talent actually requires this kind of fla to assist in Body Tempering, isn't that a bit too perverted."
Su Chen recalled The Unsullied's requirent and clicked his tongue inwardly: "Can I endure it?"
The surrounding scenery remained almost unchanged. If he couldn't still feel himself charging forward, he would have even thought he was stagnating in place.
After an unknown amount of ti, Su Chen vaguely heard a soft "pop". In an instant, his vision brightened greatly, his pupils shrank, and he had arrived inside the interior space of this Solar Fla.
The very first thing that caught his eye was a grand tallic Palace Complex that covered more than half the space, constructed from countless intersecting alloy trusses and streamlined dos pieced together.
Although silvery-white, it reflected purple halos, layered upon each other, overall gathering towards the center in a pyramid-like structure.
He narrowed his eyes, vaguely capturing a few blurry silhouettes in the shadows of those towering arched structures. Humanoid outlines clad in dark composite armor, remaining motionless.
"Is this the palace Qin Yun spoke of? He really didn't lie; there actually seem to be Guards as well." Su Chen looked around and found himself high in the air, behind him the extrely dense external flas, yet constrained by an invisible barrier.
And at the sa ti, he felt the Solar Remnants lingering around his body seed to grow a bit more vigorous, seemingly draining so kind of power perating the Space as fuel, without needing him to supply energy.
Su Chen felt A Slight Stir in One's Heart. His fingertips trembled slightly, and a bead of blood seeped from his palm, rich and crystalline like amber.
With a slight flick of his middle finger, the blood bead shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring. The mont it passed the boundary of the Solar Remnants and contacted the outside, it evaporated instantly, not even leaving mist visible.
Su Chen's heart chilled, "The temperature here hasn't weakened in the slightest; instead, it has beco even more terrifying."
With his current Life Essence Tier, his blood quality was extrely high, yet it could still evaporate instantly. The normal temperature of the outside world alone had probably reached an Unimaginable degree.
If he didn't have the Remnant Embers' protection, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to live here.
Before his Thoughts could settle, Su Chen noticed the Remnant Embers around him pulling him to slowly float forward.
"Where is this taking ?"
Su Chen frowned, his eyes suddenly trembling as he looked up into the distance.
"That's—" At the highest point of that Palace Complex, which was originally a blurry area, an extrely dense purple pillar of light suddenly shot up fiercely.
It wasn't shooting straight up, but winding and spiraling upwards In the Void. Wherever it passed, the sky distorted, and the sound of thunder exploded in the heavens, blasting open layer upon layer of halos.
Boom!
The Palace Complex trembled incessantly. The pupils of the Guards scattered in various places simultaneously lit up with extrely dense purple halos, and a Shadowy Silhouette hidden under a certain palace also looked up in astonishnt.
This Shadowy Silhouette was located in the shadow of a palace, his figure hazy, his outline seemingly soaked in mist, sotis clear, sotis blurry.
Surrounding him was a large net woven from Pitch-Black Chains, its surface glowing with a cold, deep luster, as if absorbing all light, seemingly isolating the invasion of the external hot air.
But at this mont, as that purple pillar of light shot into the sky, the large net ford by the black chains emitted a teeth-grinding "sizzle" sound.
The symbols on it lit up one by one, each trembling like a living creature, and then cracks surfaced on them.
"After that damned Qin Yun ran out, this Spirit of the Vast Sun entered a deep sleep. Why has it suddenly awakened again?"
His heart palpitated with fear. He hurriedly grasped the large chain net that was sizzling. Smoke also rose from his blurry palms, and severe pain transmitted, making him let out bursts of muffled groans.
This place wasn't just simply high in temperature; it also contained an extrely intense and terrifying power of Erosion.
"Damned Qin Yun—" Feeling a portion of the scarce power in his body surge out again, barely stabilizing the large chain net in the shadows, he breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help thinking of that extrely insidious Qin Yun.
Believing the words of that Remnant Spirit and causing everyone else to die.
Truly damned!
If I have a chance to get out, I will definitely Grinding Bones and Scattering Ashes you!
Roar!
A high-pitched Dragon's Roar was heard. He looked up again. Even though he had seen it once before, shock and fervor couldn't help but well up in his eyes.
