Ni Chuan smiled bitterly in helplessness and said, "Many of the people present couldn't figure it out either."
Many people couldn't figure it out?
Han Xingliu narrowed his eyes, vaguely feeling that this sentence was a bit strange, and asked, "And then what?"
"And then..." Ni Chuan hesitated. "Xiao Linfeng died. The Ancient Kings used him as a sacrifice, and only then did they open the pathway."
"Died? Used him as a sacrifice?" Han Xingliu was stunned. Based on his understanding of his father, no matter how urgent the situation was, he wouldn't just kill Xiao Linfeng on the spot, right?
"It seems an accident occurred. Those Remnant Embers forcefully sacrificed and killed Xiao Linfeng. The Zhenwu Ancient King disregarded everything and charged straight in. The Emperor seed a bit reluctant, but he could only follow them in."
Hearing Ni Chuan say this, Han Xingliu understood.
No wonder the outside world looked like this. With the Emperor and the Ancient Kings gone and Xiao Linfeng dead, the Longriver Clan would probably not let this go easily.
"I see. So even the Star Pri is no longer cared about by anyone." He couldn't help but shake his head. With only Ni Chuan waiting here, he should be the last one to co out, so the position of Star Pri inevitably belonged to him.
As for whether he was valued or not, he actually didn't care too much.
"Star Pri..." Ni Chuan's words caught in his throat. Seeing Han Xingliu's slightly smug expression, he clearly knew what the other party was thinking. However, if he were to explain it directly, he feared it would make this Highness lose face.
After so thought, Ni Chuan could only bite the bullet and speak up, "You are correct. Although Su Chen seized the title of Star Pri, given the current situation, truly no one cares..."
"Indeed, this situation is special..." Han Xingliu had only spoken halfway when his expression suddenly froze. His pupils quaked, and he stared fixedly at Ni Chuan, his voice rising in pitch. "Who did you say is the Star Pri?"
"Su Chen..." Ni Chuan gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"How is that possible?" Han Xingliu found it hard to believe. He abruptly turned his head to look at the Battle Tower. "Su Chen is still inside?"
"He ca out a long ti ago." Ni Chuan sighed inwardly.
"Then... how did he seize the position of Star Pri?" Han Xingliu's eyelids twitched. An unimaginable guess suddenly surfaced in his mind. He didn't even notice that his voice was already trembling sowhat.
Ni Chuan's eyes were quite complex as he said, "He is already a 7th-Tier Class-User. He shattered the Kingly Phantom in a head-on clash."
"7th-Tier? Shattered the Kingly Phantom? That Kingly Phantom can actually be shattered?" Han Xingliu cried out in alarm. Recalling the tornt he himself had suffered, he found it unimaginable. So what if he was a 7th-Tier?
Under the Kingly Phantom's oppressive might, he could only barely hold on. If this Su Chen could shatter the Kingly Phantom, didn't that an he already possessed the strength to completely crush him?
How was this possible!?
Ni Chuan simply pretended not to see Han Xingliu's sluggish expression and continued, "In addition, because Xiao Linfeng died, to compensate the Longriver Clan, Xiao Linfeng was tentatively placed second. You can only settle for third."
"Third?" A "heh" sound squeezed out of Han Xingliu's throat. As long as it wasn't the Star Pri, second or third made no difference to him.
But right now, the position of Star Pri he had been so confident about had been forcefully snatched away by Su Chen, and he even had to be ranked below a dead man. An uncontrollable fire of suppressed frustration surged up within him.
His face flushed red. His injuries hadn't fully healed, and moving his anger caused his Vitality to surge. His vision went black, and he actually seed on the verge of collapsing.
"Your Highness!" Ni Chuan hurriedly reached out.
"I'm fine!" Han Xingliu abruptly shoved Ni Chuan away, staggering off into the distance.
...
anwhile, in the Pyre Space.
"As expected of the legacy left behind after the Great Sun's death, it truly is extraordinary." The Zhenwu Ancient King crossed his arms and looked down from the firmant at the distant Palace complex. His blazing gaze landed on The Pyramid ford by the accumulation of nurous palaces.
"Zhenwu!" The Vast Sea Emperor shouted with an ugly expression. "Why were you so reckless?"
"What do you an by reckless?" The Zhenwu Ancient King didn't care in the slightest. "Isn't this exactly our goal? Since the pathway has already been opened and the Spirit of the Vast Sun hasn't been angered, what else is there to hesitate about?"
But the Vast Sea Emperor's expression remained ugly. He raised his hand. Although the Purple Fla in his hand was still burning, he said, "That fellow who called himself the Great Sun has escaped."
Imdiately, several gazes turned toward him. The Vast Sea Emperor continued, "He clearly did this on purpose, utilizing the haste of the mont so we wouldn't have ti to think carefully, using the opportunity to break free and escape."
He had only discovered that there was nothing left within this fla after he ca inside. The Vast Sea Emperor said coldly, "This Remnant Spirit has always been hiding things in its words. By rushing in so hastily, I fear we've fallen into its trap."
The Zhenwu Ancient King still didn't care at all. "Since you think so much, why did you follow us in? No one forced you to enter."
He spoke absentmindedly.
The Vast Sea Emperor's expression darkened. This was the exact problem. Although he knew perfectly well that there was probably sothing wrong here, he didn't dare gamble on that one-in-ten-thousand chance, so he could only pinch his nose and follow them in.
"Enough, don't act coy and hesitant, striking a pose. Where could that Remnant Spirit run off to? We'll settle the score with it after we get out."
"Where is that fellow who ca in earlier? Why isn't he here?" The mont the Zhenwu Ancient King arrived, he had swept his gaze across the entire space but found nothing.
"He probably went out," the Xuantian Ancient King speculated.
"There's sothing over there that is completely out of place with this entire space." The Star-Firmant Ancient King's gaze dropped, landing on a certain palace. With a flash of his figure, everyone vanished from their current location.
anwhile, the King of Prison Suppression, who was in dormancy, suddenly realized a group of people had appeared before him, and he was instantly startled. Looking closely, he imdiately grew agitated. "Emperor!"
He condensed into a solid form, his expression filled with great joy.
"Prison Suppression?" The Vast Sea Emperor said in surprise. "It's actually you."
"It's the King of Prison Suppression."
The other Ancient Kings suddenly understood. They finally knew why the King of Prison Suppression had been in a coma all this ti. His Spirit-Flesh Unity ntal state had actually been stripped out.
"You... how did you all enter..." The King of Prison Suppression collected his emotions. With the other Ancient Kings present, it wasn't appropriate for him to say much to the Vast Sea Emperor.
However, before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed abruptly, having already caught sight of the Purple Fla held in the Vast Sea Emperor's hand.
"It's that Remnant Spirit! Damn it! Damn it!"
His Spiritual Entity wasn't very stable, having suffered too much tornt here. Seeing this Remnant Spirit made him roar.
"Prison Suppression!" The Vast Sea Emperor rebuked. "Calm down."
The King of Prison Suppression's Spiritual Entity scattered for a mont before gradually calming down. Seeming to realize sothing, he hurriedly said, "Emperor, you absolutely must not listen to anything this Remnant Spirit says. It's full of lies. The others died here precisely because they were frad by it."
"I was also trapped here because of it."
Hearing the King of Prison Suppression's words, the expressions of the Ancient Kings beca sowhat subtle, and the Vast Sea Emperor even let out a soft sigh.
Seeing this, the King of Prison Suppression suddenly realized sothing and couldn't help but ask, "Did you all... enter because you listened to its words?"
The Vast Sea Emperor clearly didn't want to chat much on this topic, asking, "Tell us what happened after you all ca in earlier, and what exactly is the situation with this Remnant Spirit?"
Hearing this, the King of Prison Suppression shifted to recounting everything that had happened after they entered in full detail. Finally, he stared fiercely at the fla. "This Remnant Spirit is incredibly sinister. I ask that you quickly erase it."
He didn't know that this fla was just an empty shell right now.
"As expected, this fellow is cunning and unpredictable. It probably isn't sothing left behind after that Great Sun's death. Instead, it has sowhat of the appearance of an Evil God. Perhaps it is related to this Great Sun's death."
After hearing what the King of Prison Suppression said, the Ancient Kings weren't overly surprised. They had already suspected the identity of this Great Sun to begin with, so this rely confird it.
"This Remnant Spirit sending us in here was probably just to escape. Each side simply took what they needed," the Zhenwu Ancient King noted, not caring much about this. He only asked, "Have you seen the person who ca in earlier?"
The King of Prison Suppression hesitated slightly before replying, "I've seen him."
The Zhenwu Ancient King's brows and eyes darkened. "What are you hesitating for? If you've seen him, you've seen him. If not, then you haven't."
"Zhenwu." The Vast Sea Emperor expressed his dissatisfaction. "Prison Suppression has suffered prolonged tornt in this place, and his Spiritual Entity is unstable. Where is all this temper of yours coming from?"
Prison Suppression hastily explained, "That person probably isn't from the Dust Star Sea. He likely cos from the Abyssal Void. He even asked about so matters regarding the Dust Star Sea."
"Did you tell him?" the Vast Sea Emperor asked abruptly.
The King of Prison Suppression shook his head repeatedly. "I did not. Although this person tried to entice with the offer of taking away, I did not agree to it."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have continued to stay here," he provided as further evidence.
Only then did the Vast Sea Emperor nod in satisfaction.
"Did he gain the recognition of the Spirit of the Vast Sun?" the Zhenwu Ancient King pressed.
The King of Prison Suppression nodded, hesitating as he said, "That's right, he did indeed receive recognition. I was also confused. This Spirit of the Vast Sun has extrely harsh age requirents. At the ti, none of us triggered the qualifications for the trial, yet that person was actually able to bypass the hard requirents."
After the King of Prison Suppression confird this matter once more, the expressions of the several people all changed.
"This Spirit of the Vast Sun has age requirents? That Remnant Spirit lied to us."
"But that person from earlier was not subject to the age restrictions."
If you said the Remnant Spirit lied to them, it also hadn't lied. There were age requirents, but soone had already bypassed this restriction. The pri example was placed squarely before their eyes.
"Wait here, I'm going to give it a try." Hearing this, Zhenwu was already too impatient to wait. He soared into the sky and landed toward the top of the tower.
The Ancient Kings raised their heads to look.
A short while later, only a thunderous boom was heard, and a thick dragon body coiling the firmant appeared. It lowered its head to look down, its eyes holding a hint of disgust.
Monts later, the Zhenwu Ancient King's voice rang out, filled with anger. Like roaring thunder, it echoed throughout the entire space, "Why am I not allowed?"
The Spirit of the Vast Sun's gaze gradually grew stern and fierce. The power of the Pyre Space beyond the invisible barrier actually seed to be drawn by so kind of force, descending like a fire dragon coming into the world.
The surrounding temperature instantly skyrocketed, and the King of Prison Suppression's Spiritual Entity shrank into a ball.
The others knit their brows tightly. This was clearly not a trial.
"Zhenwu!" The Bronze Ancient King shouted sternly. "Don't anger it!"
A short ti later, the Zhenwu Ancient King landed with an ugly expression.
The Spirit of the Vast Sun on the firmant looked down at the six people below, its eyes carrying a warning before it gradually faded away. At the sa ti, the drawn pyre power also dissipated.
The Zhenwu Ancient King gritted his teeth, glaring at the King of Prison Suppression. "Why do I lack the qualifications when that person can do it!"
The King of Prison Suppression remained silent, cursing inwardly: how was he supposed to know?
"This matter is probably not simple." The Vast Sea Emperor frowned slightly. With a grab of his hand, he pinched the King of Prison Suppression's Spiritual Entity in his grasp. "That Remnant Spirit harbors ill intentions. It lured us in with lies, so it must have so sche in mind. Let's see if we can get out."
The group then arrived at the edge of the Pyre Space. The Bronze Ancient King's eyes flickered, and he walked straight in.
A long ti later, he turned back. His body was faintly glowing crimson, and his brows were tightly knit. "It's too thick. We can't force our way out."
The group then arrived at the edge of the Pyre Space. The Bronze Ancient King's eyes flickered, and he walked straight in.
A long ti later, he turned back. His body was faintly glowing crimson, and his brows were tightly knit. "It's too thick. We can't force our way out."
"We can't force our way out?" The others furrowed their brows. So, did this an they were trapped here?
"However..." the Bronze Ancient King added, "if we join forces, we should have a chance to send one or two people out."
"Send one or two people out?"
The group's expressions beca subtle. This was an absolutely impossible thing. Now that they were all trapped here, wouldn't the person sent out be able to act unscrupulously?
Their Professional Spirituality was still on the outside, after all!
But... if they couldn't get out, the Dust Star Sea probably wouldn't remain peaceful for too long.
"Why be in a hurry to get out?" The Zhenwu Ancient King shook his head instead. "That person who forced his way in earlier will definitely co back in again. We just need to wait here for him. When he appears, we'll join forces to capture him and see what profound mysteries he possesses that could actually make the Spirit of the Vast Sun make an exception."
"Six against one. That's enough to suppress him."
No one felt any psychological burden regarding joining hands to gang up on soone. After so consideration, they all nodded, "It can only be so."
...
"This is the Retina of the Ti Beast, and this is the Sinew of the Shadow-Flash Leopard..." Ding Fan carried two tal cases, displaying them to Su Chen, one on the left and one on the right.
After speaking, Ding Fan hesitated slightly. "However, the Water from the River of Prophecy is a bit thorny. The River of Prophecy can only be seen by 9th-Tier ntal-type professionals, and it might not even be possible to bring it out from there."
"It can serve as a dium for many ntal-type rituals, so we'll have to wait so more ti." He further explained, showing that it wasn't that he didn't take it to heart, but that it was truly quite troubleso.
"Then there's no need to collect it for the ti being." Su Chen reached out and took the two items. That whatever river water had already been erased by the Perfect-Grade Eldritch Source Power earlier.
It was just that he hadn't inford Ding Fan all this ti.
"Alright." Ding Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. If so things were hard to get, then they were hard to get; there was nothing he could do about it.
Watching Ding Fan leave, Su Chen glanced at his Status Panel. 'Now that these two items are gathered, the requirents for the Flash-Shadow Body only leave observation and conceptualization.'
'Hidden Shadow and Extre Speed have a rather significant effect.'
Su Chen was quite expectant. When he went to the Peak Star Tournant a couple of days ago, it felt as if everyone could see right through him, with his own progress completely displayed before the eyes of others.
His inward displeasure was one aspect, but on the other hand, it was also to avoid trouble.
Among the professions that Forged the Flash-Shadow Body, there were originally several that balanced both speed and concealnt.
'The Ancient King tier individuals are all absent. With the Holy Class, keeping it hidden from those Morning Stars shouldn't be a big problem.'
Su Chen pondered secretly. The Ancient Kings couldn't co out for the ti being, and who knew what unforeseen events would occur in the Dust Star Sea. He had to quickly increase his strength to be able to deal with variables.
Ding Fan's Flight Vehicle had already disappeared from his line of sight. Su Chen originally intended to leave, but he noticed another Flight Vehicle heading his way.
"This is..." Su Chen glanced at his Comm-Bracelet. There was no information notification regarding a visit.
Shortly after, the Flight Vehicle docked at the Port. A tall and sturdy man disembarked. His facial features vaguely resembled Qin Yun's sowhat. His words were quite respectful, and he bowed slightly as he said:
"Star Seed Su, my father invites you to attend a banquet..."
