Hearing this, the expressions of the several Ancient Kings all underwent so changes. This price was not low! Extracting from a minor Evil God could only yield a dozen or so portions.
"This price is a bit too high. It's rely a thod; we still have to prepare the related Materials ourselves." The Xuantian Ancient King frowned for the first ti. He didn't even call him "little friend" anymore, stating straightforwardly, "Let's not haggle back and forth. How about this, a fixed price: thirty portions."
"You gentlen are all important figures. Why haggle like ?" Su Chen waved his hand. "Too low. At least eighty portions."
"Those who don't run the household don't know the difficulties of running it. It's all the ancestral estate accumulated by our forebears." The Xuantian Ancient King smiled bitterly. "Fifty portions. Not a single portion more."
"Sixty portions. This is my bottom line." Su Chen insisted. "Hand over the goods first, then I'll tell you the thod."
"Hand over the goods first?" The Star-Firmant Ancient King frowned. "What if you take the items and leave?"
Su Chen, however, shook his head: "What if you gentlen directly leave without honoring your promise?"
"You guys can brave the fury of the Spirit of the Vast Sun and attempt to attack and enter, but I have no way to go out and make trouble for you."
"Wait..." The Xuantian Ancient King asked, "If you don't let us out, how will these items be sent over?"
"To send in the Faith Essence, I naturally have another thod."
This person truly had quite a few thods. This indirectly reinforced the authenticity of the other party possessing the thod to enter and exit the Flare Realm.
Sixty portions. Ten portions per family was actually still alright. After pondering for a mont, the Xuantian Ancient King responded, "Since that is the case, then we'll seal the deal at the price of sixty portions. Please inform us of the thod to send in the Faith Essence, little friend."
"It's not complicated. You just need to add onto the Ritual that contacted you last ti..." After Su Chen finished narrating, the Phantom Image finally turned back.
"We'll have to wait three months before they can issue the command. After the Faith Essence is sent over, they'll have to wait another three months before they can issue a new command."
"This way, I can stall them for at least More than Half a Year."
Su Chen calculated, but couldn't help hesitating: "More than Half a Year. This tifra is still a bit too short..."
"Forget it, let's just wait and see."
Su Chen temporarily shelved this matter, his gaze returning to the Status Panel.
Right now, Transcendent True Radiance was the most crucial matter at hand.
Perhaps perceiving his thoughts, the Status Panel trembled slightly. Imdiately following, wisps of light-like streams overflowed from it. Fine golden gleams circulated within the dark red luster, faintly emitting a certain Violent Aura as it andered and coiled around him.
It gradually subrged beneath his skin. A faint stinging sensation washed over him like a tide, followed by the spread of gossar threads of warmth.
Su Chen hurriedly collected his thoughts.
...
In a certain desolate Starry Sky, warships of various designs were distinctly separated, divided into six Arrays. In the top-level conference room of one of the grayish-black flagships.
The temporary helmsn of the other sects—Li Qingyi, Wu Yue, Qi Heng, and the rest—were all present. So were expressionless, while others wore smiles.
It wasn't until the tal doors slid open to the sides that Chu Lingyuan, his brows tightly furrowed, looked towards the late-arriving Suppressing Hell King.
"Suppressing Hell, the Ritual has already ended. We should be returning to our Sects. Why have you suddenly gathered us together again?"
"Indeed, there are still many matters waiting for us to handle within the Sects," Li Qingyi also said.
They had already had initial communications with the Ancient Kings. They didn't need to be personally present for the ssage reports every three months; the people coming to take over were already on their way.
Dispatching people to be stationed here long-term only required transporting Resources over.
If it weren't for the fact that Suppressing Hell ca out of the Flare Realm, and that the Ritual he spoke of was real, they wouldn't have obeyed the Suppressing Hell King's orders and would have left imdiately.
"Everyone, do not be anxious." The Suppressing Hell King's body had filled out a bit; he wasn't as haggard as when he first awakened. He walked forward Unhurriedly, his voice hoarse: "Although the Ritual has ended, there is still one matter that truly must be clarified."
The several Morning Stars subtly exchanged glances. Wu Yue's Temper was particularly irritable. He said bluntly, "If you have sothing to say, say it directly. Don't be Mystifying here."
"This matter concerns my entrapnt within the Flare Realm, as well as the truth behind the fall of the Morning Stars from the various sects."
Chu Lingyuan's heart skipped a beat. He had already seen the Suppressing Hell King's sinister gaze turn towards him, and a sense of unease instantly rose in his heart.
Sure enough, the next mont he heard the Suppressing Hell King speak slowly: "This person, Qin Yun, is cruel and ungrateful, selfish and vicious. He was the first to make contact with that Remnant Spirit within the Starfire, and it was also he who was bewitched by the Remnant Spirit, leading us to also believe it was true and obey that Remnant Spirit's commands."
"It was even more so him who, after the Spirit of the Vast Sun was enraged, cooperated with that Remnant Spirit to ritualistically kill us one by one. Only by using the lives of the Morning Stars from the various sects did he escape the Flare Realm. Even I nearly died inside."
The Suppressing Hell King's voice grew louder and louder until finally, it thoroughly echoed throughout the entire conference room.
The atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Qi Heng's expression changed slightly, while Li Qingyi's eyes flickered.
Wu Yue even slamd his hand on the table and stood up, directly pressing Chu Lingyuan: "Is what Suppressing Hell said true or false? Was my Senior Brother Shao Feng killed by Qin Yun?"
Chu Lingyuan had already realized sothing was wrong. Even he couldn't distinguish whether the things the Suppressing Hell King was saying were true or false. But he had an intuition in his heart that this was eighty to ninety percent true.
"Regarding this matter, the Bronze Sect must give an explanation!" The Suppressing Hell King's voice was loud and clear.
Although Chu Lingyuan believed it was eighty to ninety percent true, he couldn't admit it imdiately. He said in a deep voice: "This is all your, Suppressing Hell's, one-sided story. Who knows if the one playing Qin Yun's role isn't you?"
"If it were , would I have been trapped inside?" the Suppressing Hell King countered. With a casual flick of his hand, black mist surged, the sound of Chains clattering rang out, and a scene surfaced—
Purple Flas surged to the heavens. The Spirit of the Vast Sun stretched across the Firmant, and human figures crossed paths below.
Bouts of miserable wails rang out; it was precisely the scene of Morning Stars falling. Qin Yun's cold and stern expression could be seen especially clearly, wreathed by Purple Flas.
"That's Senior Brother Bei Chen's 'Ink-Shadow Illusion'..." Li Qingyi's expression changed slightly as she looked at the ink-like Phantom Images in the footage evaporating one by one beneath the flas. "This is a Holy Class he just completed Forging not long ago. Outsiders... would have no way of knowing."
This also ant that this scene was eighty to ninety percent likely not forged by the Suppressing Hell King.
Not just Venerable Bei Chen of the Profound Heaven Sect, but the other Venerables also brought out their Trump Cards when risking their lives. Many outsiders were unaware of them; only those who were sowhat close to them knew.
The Suppressing Hell King said in a deep voice: "Regarding Qin Yun's matter, does your Bronze Sect truly not know, or are you pretending not to know!?"
In an instant, Chu Lingyuan only felt his shoulders sink. Various gazes looked his way—so cold, so questioning, or filled with chilling killing intent...
He secretly raised his guard while saying in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, everyone. After I return, I will definitely investigate this clearly. If Qin Yun truly betrayed his friends and murdered Morning Stars, my Bronze Sect will definitely give everyone an explanation!"
When push ca to shove, preserving one's own life was definitely the priority. There was nothing to criticize about that, but he couldn't leave any leverage behind.
He chickened out very quickly. Although he still had that tiny bit of sentint for Qin Yun, that sentint couldn't compare to the current pressure.
He didn't know what this Suppressing Hell King actually wanted to do, but directly pushing Qin Yun out right now was the best answer.
"No need," the Suppressing Hell King said Unhurriedly. "The Royal Court has already dispatched people to detain Qin Yun. God-Defier, Black Tortoise King, and King Peng are all heading there..."
"What?" Chu Lingyuan's expression suddenly changed. Azure-gold light flas exploded, shattering the porthole. Alarm sirens wailed continuously throughout the ship. He shouted sternly, "What are you trying to do?"
"Nothing." The Suppressing Hell King shook his head. "That Qin Yun is the disciple of an Ancient King, after all, and you are moreover fellow disciples. It's unavoidable that you would cover for him."
"Your thieving hearts refuse to die! You want to make a move against my Bronze Sect?" Naturally, Chu Lingyuan didn't believe this kind of pretext.
To the side, Wu Yue had already sat back down, his eyes flickering. The Royal Court sure knew how to seize opportunities. The Bronze Ancient King was absent. The Crisis of the Flas had improved but wasn't thoroughly eliminated yet. If they were truly breached by the Royal Court, probably even the Radiant Moon Spirit would be snatched away.
Qi Heng's brows were tightly furrowed, Stoic Silence.
Li Qingyi appeared Words Caught in One's Throat several tis, but also didn't speak.
Seeing the reactions of the several of them, Chu Lingyuan's heart sank even further. He imdiately prepared to leave, but heard the Suppressing Hell King say unhurriedly: "No rush. The Star Gates have already been closed by . For the ti being, none of us can leave. Let's just wait."
"You..." Chu Lingyuan's expression was livid. If the Morning Stars from the other sects stood by and watched, even if he and the Suppressing Hell King engaged in a massive brawl, a victor wouldn't erge. He would similarly only be delayed here.
...
"Within the Solar Fla, Qin Yun killed the Morning Stars of the other sects to seek a path of survival for himself. The Royal Court has already dispatched three Morning Stars—God-Defier, King Peng, and the Black Tortoise King—to detain Qin Yun!"
No one knew where this news ca from, but it suddenly exploded across the Dust Star Sea, stirring up a thousand waves with a single stone.
Due to the disappearance of the several Ancient Kings, many people were already no strangers to the Solar Fla.
And the incidents of Morning Stars from various sects falling a while ago were brought up again, sparking widespread discussion for a ti.
Within the Sacred Cauldron Cult, an old man slamd the table and stood up, his eyes Crimson: "This Qin Yun is full of lies! He actually said they were burned to death by the Spirit of the Vast Sun, and he even cooperated with that Remnant Spirit! Damn him!"
"My eldest brother was ritually sacrificed to death by that Qin Yun. Qin Yun brought this upon himself! I don't believe the Bronze Sect is completely ignorant of this."
Within the Celestial Vault Order, soone said with worry: "The Royal Court wants to make a move against the Bronze Sect. Their Crisis of the Flas has yet to be thoroughly eradicated; right now is indeed an opportunity. Are we going to stand by and watch? It's Mutually Dependent!"
Soone else also said in a deep voice: "When that Qin Yun killed my father, did he ever think of being Mutually Dependent? Even without the Bronze Sect, our Four Great Sects combining forces can still keep the Royal Court in check!"
"There was bound to be such a day eventually." Within the True Martial Sect, soone reacted with cold eyes.
"Forget it, let's just watch. The Bronze Ancient King hasn't fallen; it might not be a subversion scenario." Within the Profound Heaven Sect, there was only a sigh.
...
Deep within the Longriver Clan, soone's eyes shone with a strange light as they looked at the Virtual Screen before them. "What a Qin Yun, what a Suppressing Hell King! I thought we'd have to use the power of the Evil Gods to provoke their infighting."
"I didn't expect the Suppressing Hell King's awakening to bring an unexpected turning point. With the other party so weak and empty right now, it is indeed a good opportunity."
The old man standing behind him frowned. "We're also going to take this opportunity to make a move against the Bronze Sect? The Royal Court has already dispatched three Morning Stars; I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to wait for the snipe and clam to fight..."
"The Bronze Sect?" The person speaking had his back turned to them. "The 'weakness' I spoke of wasn't referring to the Bronze Sect..."
"Not the Bronze Sect?" The old man was stunned, then his expression turned stern. "You an?"
"With four Morning Stars all outside, wanting to breach the Bronze Sect will inevitably require bringing quite a bit of Foundation along. The Royal Court's emptiness isn't necessarily any better than the Bronze Sect's." That figure slowly turned around, a flash of cold sternness passing through his eyes. It was actually the number two on the Morning Star Ranking, Zhou Lingtian!
...
"Calculating the ti, we still have to wait at least another two and a half months before the Dust Star Sea will hold a Sacrificial Ritual to Contact us." The Ancient King Sacred Cauldron pondered briefly and sighed:
"The person in The Hall is eighty to ninety percent likely the sa person as that unknown powerhouse. Then we still cannot bypass this age requirent. Let's not waste ti here anymore; let's get out as soon as possible."
The Zhenwu Ancient King felt a faint pain coming from his spine. His voice was cold and stern: "After we get out, let's take a trip to the Bronze Sect and drag that Su Chen out to have a look."
The Bronze Ancient King frowned. "Zhenwu, you still want to drag Su Chen into this."
"Not dragging him in, rely verifying." Zhenwu said in a deep voice: "Since you're certain it's not him, why are you making so many excuses?"
"Verifying it is fine too," the Vast Sea Emperor also said. After all, having associated it with Su Chen, they would ultimately harbor a hint of Suspicion if they didn't verify it with their own eyes.
The Bronze Ancient King felt helpless inwardly. This person in The Hall was suspected to be the unknown powerhouse and continuously led them by the nose. Everyone felt very uncomfortable in their hearts and wanted to figure out exactly who it was.
But he was basically certain that that guy wasn't Su Chen. Going to verify it wouldn't hurt...
"Since..." The Bronze Ancient King had just started speaking when he suddenly raised his head. The others also perceived sothing amiss and looked up, only to see the Firmant above brimming with Purple Light, the Starfire boiling.
"How has this Spirit of the Vast Sun been triggered again?"
The crowd was Doubtful and Uncertain.
Imdiately after, they saw a pillar of light shoot up into the sky from the Tower. It was entirely different from the guiding light pillar. It wasn't the purple unique to this place, but a dense blood-gold color.
At first, it was faint and small, but it gradually expanded. In the end, it had almost solidified into substance, clearly visible throughout the entire Flare Realm.
"This... is the light of True Radiance." The Vast Sea Emperor's expression hardened slightly.
Previously, they didn't know what the manifestation of the True Radiance Talent looked like. But a few days ago, on Taixuan Tianyi, they had already verified it.
It was precisely this kind of light, exactly the sa as Taixuan Tianyi's.
"But Taixuan Tianyi has already left..." The Xuantian Ancient King muttered, looking at the distant Tower of Spirit. Then there was only one possibility left.
The several of them disappeared simultaneously and appeared in front of The Hall on the Third Level. Sure enough, wisps of blood-gold light were even dissipating out through the Hall Door, like a tide or a waterfall, dense and mighty. They faintly carried a Violent intent, seeming to want to break out of the door.
"It really is him!" The Zhenwu Ancient King stared fixedly at the Hall Door, seeming to want to pierce through it with his gaze.
The Xuantian Ancient King's brows furrowed tightly: "Divine Dawn turned into True Radiance?"
Talent could indeed tamorphose, but that was before reaching Divine Dawn. After Divine Dawn, due to its conditions, there was at least no thod for tamorphosis in the Dust Star Sea.
They didn't know if the Abyssal Domain had one, but the current situation made them associate it with a certain person.
The Bronze Ancient King's heart was uncalm. He muttered secretly, "Marrow of the Morning Star... Radiant Moon Bone... Could it be..."
...
In the Cultivation Sanctum, the boiling Aura around Su Chen gradually withdrew. Blood-gold light shone through his body, illuminating the surroundings in a dense haze.
This Talent tamorphosis was far more intense than any previous one, and the ti it took was also much longer.
"It's done..." Su Chen kept his eyes tightly closed, sensing the changes in his body.
Lightness, transparency. It was as if he had thrown off old shackles and Undergone a Complete Transformation. His muscles, bones, cells, and everything else were undergoing a fundantal tamorphosis, and it was still continuously changing right now.
[The Unsullied congratulates the host on tamorphosing to the True Brilliance Talent. Obtained Class Trait - Limit Break: Squeezes one's own potential, forcibly stimulating the Physical Body Primary Class. Below Morning Star, can temporarily raise one's rank by one level.]
[After it ends, the Primary Class's Developnt Progress will stagnate for a period of ti and cannot be improved by any ans. The higher the rank, the longer the stagnation period.]
"Temporarily raise the physical body's rank. So this is the so-called Class Trait..." Su Chen's breathing stalled, his eyes shining with a strange light.
The Primary Class's rank was the foundation of everything. All augntations from other Professions and even Holy Classes were entirely built upon the body strength brought by the Primary Class.
With his current 7th-Tier status, if he forcefully raised it to the 8th-Tier, paired with his Holy Classes, he estimated he could trade blows with a 9th-Tier—the kind without the True Brilliance Talent.
"Although it raises the physical body's rank, my dual Professions have already rged into one. I don't know what the effect will be; I still need to test it specifically."
Su Chen couldn't help but think, "No wonder that fla Taixuan Tianyi used at the end could make my body, enhanced by four types of 9th-Tier Mystic Tools, feel pain. The Class Trait brought by this True Brilliance Talent is indeed out of the ordinary..."
"The side effects aren't small, but this ability is truly too perverted. No wonder the Zhenwu Ancient King acted as if he feared neither heaven nor earth. I estimate his frontal combat strength is indeed very perverted..."
I estimate the Developnt Efficiency has also increased massively... Su Chen was completely satisfied. He slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking, imdiately receiving a fright.
He saw a giant dragon's head right in front of him, staring at him with Suspicion.
