"What?" King Peng's expression changed drastically in shock. He grabbed Han Xiao: "Say it again!"
Lu Feng's gaze chilled.
Han Xiao was lifted up, his face pale, his Adam's apple rolling: "The Royal Court suffered disastrous losses. Of the five Great Royal Guard Commanders, three died in battle. Of the twelve Vice Commanders, seven died in battle. Additionally, the Radiant Moon Spirit... the Radiant Moon Spirit..."
"What happened to the Radiant Moon Spirit, was it snatched away?!" With every sentence Han Xiao spoke, King Peng's expression turned a degree uglier. Until the very end, veins bulged on his arm as he asked repeatedly.
"King Peng!" The Black Tortoise King hurriedly reached out to forcefully pry King Peng's hand open. Han Xiao fell to the ground, panting heavily. He was actually nearly squeezed to death by brute force.
But Han Xiao rely had a face full of bitterness, "The Radiant Moon Spirit wasn't snatched away, however..."
Before the several people's expressions could ease, they heard Han Xiao say in an almost despairing tone: "It has been entangled by the Mist Embers!"
Lu Feng's brows locked tightly. The Black Tortoise King's facial skin twitched, and he said helplessly: "Taking a risk... taking a risk..."
"Damn it! Damn it!" King Peng completely panicked, roaring: "Zhou Lingtian, Longriver Clan, they are simply overly audacious! Go back, I will kill him!"
But right at this mont, the Galaxy Throne suspended beside everyone suddenly released a brilliant light. It expanded into a starlight-like barrier, wrapping the entire mothership within.
The expressions of the several people drastically changed in shock. They turned their heads to look, only to see a Phantom Image standing impressively outside the porthole; it was precisely the shadow of the Bronze Ancient King.
At the sa ti, alarms rang out. Aside from the mothership being protected by the Galaxy Throne, the rest of the battleships all exploded, linking into one continuous stretch, looking extrely magnificent.
"You don't want to let us leave? Arrogant!" Lu Feng's expression was solitary and quiet. He imdiately wanted to walk towards the Galaxy Throne.
"Now is not the ti to be eager to fight, this is the Bronze Sect's territory." The Black Tortoise King said in a deep voice: "If the three of us are entangled here, even the Galaxy Throne will be left behind."
Using the Galaxy Throne was not without a price. Moreover, the Bronze Sect now had no worries about the rear, and could completely afford to slowly entangle with them.
King Peng gritted his teeth. The Radiant Moon Spirit being polluted was already an unbearable injury for the Royal Court. If this Galaxy Throne was also left here...
"Qing Cang, this matter is already over, why start a dispute again?" The Black Tortoise King's ntal fluctuations transmitted out extrely far.
"Is my Bronze Sect a place you can just co and go as you please?" Qing Cang stood behind the barrier, showing no politeness at all.
The Black Tortoise King remained silent, but his figure beca increasingly hunched. He said in a deep voice: "King Peng, prepare to take the mothership and flee, I will do my best to endure a bit."
He walked towards the Galaxy Throne and slowly sat down.
In an instant, black runes surfaced outside the mothership like a tide, condensing into the outline of a tortoise shell In the Void. It gradually transford into a giant tortoise shell, wrapping the mothership entirely.
King Peng took a deep breath, resting one hand on the Galaxy Throne. A pale Golden Light torrent surged from beneath his feet, gradually subrging the surroundings. Every rivet, every piece of armor, was shrouded in a layer of pale golden halo.
"Such a massive tortoise shell." Su Chen looked over from afar, his eyes revealing a strange light.
The Bronze Phantom Image held no emotion. It rely reached out a finger, and the Starry Expanse was sliced open by an invisible scalpel. The surrounding Starry Sky suddenly twisted, like a torn projection screen.
Countless tiny cracks spread out, and data codes of 0s and 1s seeped out from them, gradually sinking into that black tortoise shell, which suddenly began to tremble violently.
"Go!"
The Black Tortoise King sitting on the Galaxy Throne howled towards the sky. Faint "crackling" sounds could be heard coming from within his body. His withered skin actually cracked like porcelain, revealing the flesh, blood, and white bones inside.
As the tortoise shell shattered, the golden light stream finally shrouded the entire mothership. It trembled slightly and suddenly vanished. The Starry Expanse fell silent, with only the disintegrating Streaking Light of the tortoise shell slowly floating down.
"In the end, it still took an old fogey To Conclude." Qing Cang said indifferently, looking at the vanished Royal Court mothership.
He Chengying had Words Caught in One's Throat: "The Black Tortoise King was also forced by circumstances."
He could clearly feel that the Black Tortoise King had indeed held back. Qing Cang remained expressionless—the friendship of the seniors had nothing to do with him, it wasn't as if they had a relationship with his Sect Master.
...
"This is to send back to the Ritual Grounds..."
In the hazy unknown land, Taixuan Tianyi was wrapped in a cluster of Purple Flas, shuttling through the interstice between reality and the Nether Realm.
"The Spirit of the Vast Sun didn't use the Ritual Sacrifice reception thod, so it's taking a bit longer."
It had been a while since he ca out of that Starfire, and he still hadn't returned to the Ritual Grounds. However, this also gave Taixuan Tianyi enough ti to adjust his mindset.
"Dust Star Sea, the Holy Sovereign's falling place should be quite close to that Dust Star Sea, for it to be discovered by those six Radiant Moons."
Taixuan Tianyi's expression was rcurial Mood: "That place is no longer exclusive to my Taixuan House. I'm afraid there's no more hope of dipping our fingers in it."
He thought of that guy who called himself Taixuan Hong.
He didn't quite believe the other party was so remnant bloodline of the Taixuan House, but this person kept insisting on it, making him more or less harbor a sliver of Suspicion. He prepared to carefully ask the seniors in the clan when he got back.
To see if it was really possible for him to be a Taixuan House remnant bloodline. If not, then he would have to consider how to deal with him.
Their Taixuan House had been hunted down for a long ti because of this falling place, declining to this state. If they were to keep the secret for an outsider again, it would truly be a bit too unworthwhile.
"I'll go back and discuss it..."
Thinking up to here, Taixuan Tianyi couldn't help but sigh. Before going in, he carried the hopes of the entire clan. As a result, after coming out, even his qualification to beco a Chosen One was stripped away.
"Forget it..."
As his Thoughts settled, light surfaced before his eyes. The Purple Flas wrapped around him and landed on the sacrificial altar.
However, when his vision beca clear, his expression drastically changed.
Unlike before he left, outside the sacrificial altar, it was already surrounded layer by layer by soldiers wearing pale golden armor. Engraved on the tal armor were coiled, pure white heavenly dragons.
In the Firmant above, there were even several massive Lotus-shaped battleships circling, radiating a certain brilliance. Even the surrounding Nether Mist was expelled.
"Buddha Land, Heavenly Dragon Armor!"
Before Taixuan Tianyi could react, his vision went dark. A burly figure, bare-chested with golden-yellow skin, appeared. With a single grab, it pinched his neck and lifted him, heading towards the Temporary Outpost in the distance.
Vajra Warrior, this was the general Profession of the Buddha Land. Through special thods, they could be cultivated in large numbers, reaching up to the 9th-Tier.
"How did the Buddha Land find this place?!" Taixuan Tianyi's heart palpitated with fear, utterly at a loss. He could only be carried by this Vajra Warrior into a Temporary Outpost made up of a large stretch of white-gold tal jeweled banners. Even the ground was paved with tal flooring emitting a white fluorescent light.
"Father!"
And very quickly, Taixuan Tianyi saw many familiar people in the cages on both sides.
"Grandpa!"
"Tianyi!" Those trapped in the cages similarly saw him, and said in sorrow: "Why did you co back at this ti... It's not the right ti, it's not the right ti..."
"How did the Buddha Land find us?" Taixuan Tianyi's face was pale. The Vajra Warrior carrying him didn't seem to have any intention of blocking their communication.
Taixuan Tianyi didn't wait for his clansn's reply, but a gentle voice sounded by his ear: "Taixuan Tianyi, True Brilliance Talent. You have an affinity with my Buddha Land!"
As the voice sounded, Taixuan Tianyi had already been thrown to the ground. He struggled to climb up and looked towards the source, his pupils instantly shrinking—
It was an old monk with kind eyebrows and pleasant eyes, barefoot and bald. Supported above his head was the Radiant Canopy, overflowing with brilliant light and colors. He had no Kasaya, only wearing a plain white, mist-like close-fitting robe, seemingly woven from so kind of tallic Materials. The tal jeweled wheel behind his back emitted a blue fluorescent light.
"Imasurable Buddha." He recognized at a glance that this was a Radiant Moon Tier expert of the Buddha Land, one of the Four Great Guardian Buddhas.
Imdiately after, he saw the middle-aged man following behind the other party, faintly carrying a trace of imperceptible sha on his face.
"Second Uncle?" Taixuan Tianyi was astonished, "You..."
He understood in an instant, gritting his teeth and shouting sternly: "You betrayed the family!"
"Betrayed?" A flash of sha and anger crossed the middle-aged man's face as he sternly said, "After the Holy Sovereign fell, the Taixuan House withered from a population of tens of thousands to barely one or two dozen today, all because of that illusory Holy Sovereign position!"
"In these 1,200 years, you are the person with the highest Talent in my Taixuan House, but what use is it? Is the Three Dragon Phantoms just one or two steps away from becoming a Chosen One?"
"Even if you beco a Chosen One, so what? You still have to seek Morning Star and Radiant Moon Professions. Do you know how difficult that is?"
"It's better to exchange this for protection. I am the one truly doing this for the good of the Taixuan House." The more the middle-aged man spoke, the more confident he beca.
"You... you..." Taixuan Tianyi's breathing was heavy, his face alternating between pale and blue. This Second Uncle of his definitely didn't just have this thought during the ti he was away.
He probably had it long ago, just lacking any bargaining chips, until he could truly enter the Flare Realm, only then did he use this to trade.
"You must forgive your Second Uncle." The Imasurable Buddha smiled. "It's good that you've returned. Your Second Uncle said your family completed a Ritual Sacrifice and sent you into the Flare Realm. Tell , how was the situation?"
Taixuan Tianyi felt annoyed in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, the other party seed to have perceived his thoughts and said Unhurried: "Make sure you don't say anything you'll regret. The lives of your father, your mother, and your clansn all rest on your shoulders."
Taixuan Tianyi's expression stalled. He glanced at his clansn in the cages beside him. So glared in anger, seemingly telling him not to be cowardly, while others had dodging gazes carrying pleas.
He didn't even have the qualification to beco a Chosen One anymore, so why kill all his clansn because of this secret...
Taixuan Tianyi also thought of those six Radiant Moons. He remained silent for a long ti, and during this process, the Imasurable Buddha also didn't interfere.
A long ti later, he slowly let out a breath, "I understand."
"That's good." The Imasurable Buddha nodded in satisfaction: "Give the Ignition Cinders."
Taixuan Tianyi pursed his lips and shook his head, saying: "I don't have them."
"You don't have the Ignition Cinders?" The Imasurable Buddha's gaze narrowed slightly.
Taixuan Tianyi said: "There was a mishap. In that Flare Realm, there were six Radiant Moon Tier Professionals."
"What?" As his words fell, Taixuan Tianyi felt as if a massive mountain was pressing down on him. He looked up in a daze.
But he saw the Imasurable Buddha was already in front of him. The closer he got, the harder it was to see the other party's face clearly. It was indistinct, as if he was looking at a Starry Expanse. He only heard his voice hurry, asking sternly, "Six Radiant Moons, is that true or false?"
Taixuan Tianyi nodded sowhat nervously: "It's naturally true. The mont I entered, I was captured by them, and the Ignition Cinders were also shattered by them."
"Outer Realms... Outer Realms... an Outer Realm with six Radiant Moons existing..." The corners of the Imasurable Buddha's mouth split open, revealing a smile mixed with excitent and eeriness.
Although the Spirit of the Vast Sun was important, in reality, he could no longer be selected. And these six suddenly erging Radiant Moons could perhaps help him accomplish another matter.
However, the Imasurable Buddha suddenly reacted again, his eyes narrowing, "Since you were captured by them, how could you escape?"
"That Spirit of the Vast Sun still rembered my Taixuan House's Ritual Sacrifice favor. Thanks to his help, I was able to return from there." After so thought, Taixuan Tianyi still concealed the existence of "Taixuan Hong".
"Is that so." The Imasurable Buddha was thoughtful, a smile surfacing on his face. "Since that's the case, then let's start the sacrifice again. I will also accompany you into that Starfire..."
...
It was over... Within the temporary command center, everyone looked at that gradually crumbling tortoise shell and the vanished Royal Court mothership, actually feeling a sense of As if a Lifeti Ago.
The Royal Court ca nacingly, yet ended up fleeing in a sorry state.
"Heaven blesses our Sect." Lan Hai slowly let out a breath, seemingly a bit glad, yet his heart inevitably tightened. Previously, he had used the coordinate location of the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted to trade for so things with the Royal Court.
Qing Cang hadn't found out anything at the ti. What made him worry about this matter again right now was because it had faintly involved Su Chen at the ti...
Right at this mont, the command room hatch opened, and it was Qing Cang, Su Chen, and the Heads of Seats returning.
Pairs of eyes converged on Su Chen, interwoven with various emotions like excitent, awe, curiosity, feeling it was Unimaginable, and more.
"Prepare To Conclude..." Qing Cang issued an order, but heard a shout of shock.
"Senior Brother Ku!"
Lin Langtian's voice was urgent. Everyone turned to look, only to see Ku Boye teetering, his figure withered.
Qing Cang's expression slightly changed. He stepped forward and couldn't help but say: "You're so old, why co out and act brave?"
Ku Boye was supported by He Chengying, his breath already like a gossar thread: "It's fine. Even without this ordeal, my life force should have been exhausted within half a year."
He was truly too old, already at the ti of his passing. Fighting Qin Yun previously had already been forcefully stimulating the last bit of potential in his body.
Now that his mind had relaxed, he had already entered his final monts.
"However, being able to see the Starfire recover makes it worth it, let alone..." His turbid gaze fell upon Su Chen.
Su Chen was just about to squeeze forward, but saw Ku Boye shake his head and say: "I don't like liveliness. After I die, just scatter my ashes near the Bronze Core."
Everyone fell silent, no one speaking, feeling Ku Boye's Aura gradually weakening until it completely extinguished.
Su Chen also inevitably felt sowhat sorrowful.
"This can be considered a Joyous Funeral, handle it according to what he said." Qing Cang patted Su Chen's shoulder, and everyone gradually began to take action.
After issuing so instructions, Su Chen followed Qing Cang into the Lounge.
Qing Cang's injuries had healed a bit, and his face was much rosier. His gaze looking at Su Chen was inevitably complex, forcefully withstanding a strike from Qin Yun...
He had many questions he wanted to ask, but as the words reached his mouth, he only said: "After you entered the Mist Embers, I saw it boiling continuously, actually transforming into the image of Black Buddha. Did you suffer any influence within?"
The Black Buddha's Advent Body could still be exploited. Su Chen's Thoughts turned, and he shook his head, saying: "I didn't suffer any influence, it's still just as usual."
"Is that so?" Qing Cang also couldn't grasp exactly what the situation was. That Core Fog-Embers, he hadn't dared to go in and try it either, but since the matter had passed, he didn't dwell on it.
Su Chen then said in a low voice: "Senior Brother, can Qin Yun's corpse be given to ?"
He had wanted it right when Qin Yun died, but Lin Langtian and the others were still around at the ti, making it hard to bring up.
"Corpse?" Qing Cang's eyes narrowed slightly, subconsciously wanting to ask what he needed this corpse for. But the scene of Su Chen blocking Qin Yun's attack flashed past, and he pondered, "I will have soone send it to you. Try not to let others discover it."
"Alrighty." Su Chen nodded, unable to help but rub his palms together. Qin Yun's corpse was finally in his hands. Refining it into a Morning Star Remnant Cinder could once again enhance his Eternal Physique. He had been calculating this for a long ti.
However, in terms of Materials, he was still lacking five drops of Divine Blood.
He chuckled and said: "Senior Brother, give a bit more Divine Blood..."
"How much?" Qing Cang looked over...
"Ten... twenty drops, perhaps..." Su Chen probed, but saw Qing Cang glare at him. He was just about to retract his words when he heard Qing Cang nod and say: "I'll transfer it to you later."
Tsk... Lao Qing wasn't this easy to talk to before. Even if he transferred it to him, he would have to ask all sorts of questions.
"Mmm... how about a bit more Faith Essence?" Su Chen probed further. For Class Requirent Deduction, the more of that stuff the better.
"Faith Essence?" Qing Cang frowned.
"I don't want much either, twenty portions?" Su Chen grinned. Seeing Qing Cang looking at him expressionlessly, he said sheepishly: "Ten portions... ten portions is fine."
Qing Cang helplessly explained: "The Sect doesn't have much of this item in stock either, and we still need to consu it To Contact Master. I'll transfer ten portions to you first."
With the Starfire having problems, they also had no way to continuously explore and expand in the Nether Realm to search for minor Evil Gods.
"Alright." Su Chen naturally had no objections. He was already a bit unable to wait; Qin Yun's corpse and the Mist Source in his hand were all waiting for him to process.
After taking his leave from Qing Cang, Su Chen turned and left.
Watching Su Chen's departing figure, Qing Cang's eyes flickered, "Chu Lingyuan should be very worried right now. I wonder how he'll react when he finds out. And the other Sects, they really thought my Bronze Sect couldn't hold on, hehe... haha... haha..."
The corners of Qing Cang's mouth suddenly split open, the curve becoming increasingly exaggerated. He seed to be laughing loudly, yet not the slightest sound was emitted...
Click— The room door suddenly opened. Su Chen poked his head in and looked at Qing Cang, whose mouth was wide open and whose expression was frozen. He said hesitantly: "Senior Brother, I still need quite a bit... probably a lot of tal Materials."
To charge the Sky-Scars, he needed a large amount of tal Materials.
Qing Cang's cheek twitched. His wide-open mouth slowly closed, and he gritted his teeth, saying: "Scram!"
"Alrighty."
