The Bronze Ancient King pondered, "We should try our best to contact people from the Abyssal Domain other than the Imasurable Buddha, preferably to figure out the thoughts of the other Pillars..."
"I want to go to the Abyssal Domain." The Zhenwu Ancient King's voice was cold. "They have much stronger combat thods. We have lost too much."
"If..." Before the Vast Sea Emperor could finish speaking, a high-pitched Dragon's Roar was heard.
Everyone turned their heads in unison, only to see the body of the Spirit of the Vast Sun appearing on the Tower of Spirit, coiling across the Firmant, its head raised toward the sky.
Within the sea of fire suspended in the Firmant, a vortex actually faintly surfaced, gradually expanding.
"This... what's happening now?"
The several Ancient Kings watched, Doubtful and Uncertain, only to see an extrely tall figure gradually erging from that vortex.
"Soone else has co?"
"No..." The Bronze Ancient King furrowed his brows. "That seems to be a Statue?"
It wasn't just him; the others also saw clearly. What fell out from that vortex was impressively a lifelike, burly Statue. Molten-gold-like Purple Light flowed everywhere on it, and flas rushed and wandered between its brows, shoulder armor, and arms.
Its outline was as hard as if chiseled by a knife or axe, its eyes half-open, looking quite heroic and domineering.
More importantly, those Starfires with terrifying Lethality only circled around it, without causing it any damage.
And the Spirit of the Vast Sun, seeming quite excited, directly darted upward.
"Could that be the Statue of the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith?" The Xuantian Ancient King suddenly voiced a guess, which t with the others' agreent.
To be undamaged by this Starfire and welcod by the Spirit of the Vast Sun, there was no other possibility.
"But why did a Statue of the Holy Sovereign suddenly pop out?"
The group was puzzled. But right at this mont, the Spirit of the Vast Sun, which was approaching the Statue, suddenly stopped. The excitent in its pair of dragon eyes gradually turned into surprise and doubt, and finally into disappointnt.
Impressively, a withered palm reached out from the abdon of that Statue. Imdiately after, a human figure darted out from within. It was precisely that Sallow-Faced Elder, instantly making eye contact with the nurous Ancient Kings below.
"To think there are so many Radiant Moons in here?" The elder was quite surprised and doubtful, but soon realized, "These are those few Radiant Moons who fled back then, actually managing to pass down their legacies. Good... very good..."
"This harvest is simply too massive."
A sense of oppression faintly emanated from all around. The Sallow-Faced Elder shifted his gaze, only to see the Spirit of the Vast Sun looking at him with a gaze containing anger.
He naturally knew where this anger ca from, but didn't make too many movents. He rely stepped aside and gently waved his hand, sending the Statue behind him floating toward the Spirit of the Vast Sun.
The Spirit of the Vast Sun opened its mouth and swallowed this Statue in one bite. Giving him a cold glance, it vanished into the Firmant.
"The Spirit of the Vast Sun..." The elder's eyes were fervent.
He only needed to wait a little while longer, and Great Heaven would take this Spirit of the Vast Sun into its pocket.
"Hmm... I wonder who has the chance to beco the chosen one, Vast Sun..." The elder sighed. Naturally, he no longer had any hope.
"This guy..." The Ancient Kings below stared at this Sallow-Faced Elder, Doubtful and Uncertain.
The Xuantian Ancient King hesitated: "Why does it feel like he has a Devious God's Aura about him?"
The Bronze Ancient King nodded: "That's right, it is the Aura of a Devious God. It should be the Great Heaven Lineage that Taixuan Tianyi ntioned, which feeds on Devious Gods."
"Great Heaven..."
The expressions of the several individuals constantly changed. According to what Taixuan Tianyi had said, this Great Heaven was the most evil and bizarre. They focused on the Nether Domain, hunting Nether Realm Creatures, turning themselves into sothing neither human nor ghost.
Everyone in the Abyssal Void Shun Like Snakes and Scorpions from them.
"Why did another old man pop up here?" Su Chen furrowed his brows tightly, staring at the Virtual Screen before him. That elder's cheeks were sallow, and he didn't seem to have anything special about him.
But this indifferent and calm attitude was enough to show he wasn't simple.
"There are more and more people. This isn't a good thing." Su Chen looked with worry at the "scene" that was continuously undergoing Deduction.
Several days had already passed, but the on of various profound symbols surfacing, as ntioned by the Remnant Spirit, had not yet appeared.
"Ghost King Huang Pan!?"
On the other side, Kong Ming's expression changed drastically. Looking at that Sallow-Faced Elder, he recognized his origins at a glance.
It was precisely one of the Five Ghost Kings of Great Heaven.
"Great Heaven actually found this place?"
Kong Ming's heart sank. He didn't know if this Ghost King Huang Pan would temporarily conceal it without reporting, just like his Sect Master.
But he couldn't afford to gamble on this Probability. If the other party had already reported to Great Heaven at this mont, then it probably wouldn't be long before this place fell into Great Heaven's grasp.
When that ti ca, neither he nor his Sect Master would be able to explain themselves to the World-Honored One.
"No!" He reached out and took out the "Glazed Sarira" his Sect Master had left for him before departing. This was a treasure of the Buddha Land, with a chance to be produced only when a Buddha underwent fiery Nirvana.
It could briefly erupt with Buddha's Power, but his purpose right now was clearly not to attack soone.
"Sect Master, I'm sorry... I must report to the World-Honored One." He didn't try to contact the Imasurable Buddha. Instead, he placed this Sarira in front of him, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to chant a certain sutra.
The Sarira emitted brilliance, directly coating his outline in a layer of flowing gilded gold.
"That's... the Holy Sovereign's Statue?"
In the corner, Taixuan Tianyi was still imrsed in that Statue. He naturally recognized the Holy Sovereign's image, feeling only sorrow in his heart.
Even the Statue left behind by the Holy Sovereign was reduced to being used as a tool.
"Great Heaven has also arrived. Taixuan Hong has no chance anymore." Taixuan Tianyi sighed internally. Whether it was the Buddha Land or Great Heaven, it was impossible for them to let a mber of the Taixuan House beco The Chosen again.
Just as he was grieving, he suddenly noticed the commotion over here. Impressively, behind Kong Ming, a Buddha sat on a Lotus Throne, its appearance solemn and dignified, the sound of the Dharma like a tide...
"A Sutra Chanter?" Taixuan Tianyi recognized this. This was a high-level profession of the Buddha Land, simplifying Sacrificial Rituals by chanting specific sutras.
Who is he sacrificing to? The Imasurable Buddha?
His heart stirred, and he took rely one step forward. But his pupils suddenly contracted, as densely packed Sanskrit Symbols surfaced on the surface of his skin.
An intense pain that pierced to the bone erupted from within his body, making him involuntarily kneel down, letting out miserable wails.
It was only after a long ti that it gradually subsided.
Panting heavily, he shrank back into the corner. Looking at the completely unmoving Kong Ming, who was still chanting the sutra, the resentnt in his eyes flashed and disappeared, soon to be filled with despair.
In the eyes of ordinary people in the Abyssal Void, the Buddha Land's reputation wasn't bad. Many principles of the Buddha Land were spread in many places. But in the eyes of the high-level factions, the terror of the Buddha Land was not the slightest bit inferior to that of the Devious Gods.
Their thods of twisting minds and turning enemies into Vajra Guardians made one shudder with fear.
Taixuan Tianyi had already foreseen this outco, and he was powerless to change it. He could only curl up into a ball, yet he couldn't help but think: "Can Taixuan Hong really save ?"
On second thought, his heart beca even more sorrowful: "In my state, saving is useless. I hope he can remain safe and sound, and preserve the spark of our lineage."
Right at this mont, Kong Ming had already finished chanting. Standing with his hands clasped together, that Glazed Sarira blood with dazzling brilliance, actually autonomously emitting the sound of chanting, becoming increasingly brilliant and glorious.
............
"Finally."
Su Chen looked at the very first symbol surfacing in the Deduction scene before him. It was a profound purple color and complicated to the extre.
This was the on the Remnant Spirit had spoken of. The appearance of this situation indicated that it had already begun to touch upon the core Primal Source.
Su Chen estimated that these symbols should represent a certain aning of the profession, but they weren't coherent. Or rather, they could only be considered individual characters and couldn't be recorded by the Status Panel.
And at the sa ti, after this symbol surfaced, its scene also began to tremble violently.
"The Spirit of the Vast Sun has begun to resist."
Then, the accumulated Faith Essence next to it jumped into it, but it only managed to slightly stabilize the trembling scene.
"Next, it's ti to attract the Spirit of the Vast Sun's attention." Su Chen's expression was quite solemn. He took out the Ignition Cinders, connecting with the Cultivation Sanctum, his gaze falling on the Cultivation Sanctum belonging to that Kong Ming on the sixth layer.
How to attract the Spirit of the Vast Sun's attention? Naturally, it was by challenging this Kong Ming.
Using his higher Access Level, he could challenge Kong Ming from within the Cultivation Sanctum.
When individuals who had obtained the Recognition of the Three Dragons challenged each other, the Spirit of the Vast Sun was bound to observe. Su Chen even believed this carried a certain mandatory nature.
"Kong Ming..." Su Chen's thoughts churned. Perhaps there was also a chance to get so blood.
.........
"Patron, why bother." Kong Ming withdrew his gaze from the Sarira before him and landed it on Taixuan Tianyi, who was curled up in a ball. "You cannot harm anyway."
"I..." Taixuan Tianyi opened his mouth, his voice hoarse. "I was just curious and took a step forward, that's all."
Kong Ming remained Noncommittal, not paying attention to this Taixuan Tianyi. His heart was quite worried as he stared at that Huang Pan. "I was a step too late, and furthermore, I am inside this Flare Realm. I wonder if the World-Honored One can sense it... Hmm?"
His gaze focused as he looked at the screen that suddenly popped up before him—
"Received a challenge application. The challenger has the True Brilliance Talent and is an 8th-Tier professional. Do you accept?"
A challenge?
Kong Ming's expression stagnated slightly. It's Taixuan Hong?
Why would he challenge him at a ti like this?
Taixuan Tianyi looked up, equally stunned, his heart also anxious. What madness had taken this Taixuan Hong? Why would he suddenly challenge Kong Ming?
The other party being able to pass the Great Sun Trials right after advancing to the 8th-Tier indeed surprised him, but he also suspected if the other party had used so unknown thods.
But challenging Kong Ming head-on was clearly not a wise move.
"Or could it be, he also realized he has no hope left, and is just making a desperate wager before leaving here?" Taixuan Tianyi's heart suddenly jumped. "It can't possibly be specifically to save , right?"
"Since you want to..." Kong Ming naturally knew the rules here. He couldn't refuse, and there wasn't the slightest ripple in his heart.
Regardless of why this Taixuan Hong was challenging him, all he had to do was defeat him.
"Accept the challenge!"
............
"Everyone..." Huang Pan descended from the Firmant, arriving in front of the Ancient Kings, revealing a smile he considered amiable. The corners of his mouth showed two withered yellow teeth. "I am Huang Pan, from Great Heaven, Abyssal Domain."
This guy reported his origins right off the bat. The group's thoughts were subtle; this guy seed to carry an extrely strong confidence, different from the Imasurable Buddha's probing.
Still the social butterfly, the Xuantian Ancient King stepped forward to et him. "So it's Your Excellency from Great Heaven. I am Xuan Tian, from the Dust Star Sea."
He hesitated slightly, but still reported the na of the Dust Star Sea. After all, it could no longer be hidden. The other individuals also introduced themselves one after another.
"Dust Star Sea... It seems you all actually still know of the Abyssal Domain, which saves so breath." Huang Pan chuckled. "This Spirit of the Vast Sun has already successively birthed three recognized individuals. Are they the Junior Generation bloodlines of you all?"
"Hmm, this... is hard to say." The Xuantian Ancient King gave a Vague Prevarication.
"Hard to say, hehe..." Huang Pan let out two chuckles of unclear aning. Could these guys still be harboring wishful thinking?
He didn't really care either. It wouldn't be long anyway, so it didn't matter who The Chosen was.
Right at this mont, everyone felt sothing and turned their heads in unison toward the direction of the Tower of Spirit.
The Spirit of the Vast Sun surfaced once again, flas lingering, transforming into an illusory scene before it.
"This... a challenge?" The Ancient Kings had already seen it once and imdiately reacted, all of them sowhat stunned.
When did that Kong Ming run out?
Although their attention had been drawn by this Huang Pan, it shouldn't be to the extent that they wouldn't even notice Kong Ming running out to challenge Taixuan Hong.
"This is Spiritual Observation?" Huang Pan also realized. His figure had already appeared above the Tower of Spirit, looking on with great interest. "To think it's at this ti."
The Ancient Kings closely followed behind. Looking down, two figures gradually erged, standing opposite each other.
"That's not right..." The Ancient King Sacred Cauldron was the first to discover the anomaly. In the corner, a figure was impressively curled up; it was precisely Taixuan Tianyi.
The Xuantian Ancient King furrowed his brows and sent out a ntal fluctuation: "This is Kong Ming's Cultivation Sanctum. It's not Kong Ming challenging Taixuan Hong, but Taixuan Hong challenging Kong Ming."
"What madness has possessed this kid?"
Although they didn't know the specific chanics of this Tower of Spirit, if Kong Ming took the opportunity to co out and challenge Taixuan Hong, the location wouldn't be in Kong Ming's Cultivation Sanctum.
The Ancient King Sacred Cauldron speculated: "Or is it because of this Huang Pan's sudden appearance, he realized certain things and wants to go all out?"
The Zhenwu Ancient King said indifferently: "How can he fight this? One has been hunted for tens of thousands of years and just advanced to the 8th-Tier, while the other has been carefully nurtured for many years and possesses a terrifyingly deep Foundation."
"What a pity." The Bronze Ancient King sighed. "Finally found the lost spirit of the family, only to watch helplessly as it falls into the hands of others."
"Kong Ming!?"
Right at this mont, a stern shout rang out nearby. The group suddenly noticed a cold, gloomy Aura pervading the air, only to see that Huang Pan's expression was sinister and harsh, his gaze fixed tightly on that bald figure.
"Why is it him? Did the Buddha Land discover this place long ago?" Huang Pan naturally recognized this extrely renowned Buddha Heir, but his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he even inexplicably had a premonition.
He seed to feel that in the next mont, the massive hand of the World-Honored One would descend from the sky and turn him into a Vajra Guardian.
"It shouldn't be to that extent. This is the Spirit of the Vast Sun. No matter how grand the Buddha Land's moves are, they couldn't possibly use this as bait for fishing." He steadied his heart. "Furthermore, why is Kong Ming the only one here?"
His brows furrowed tightly, no longer indifferent. The situation here was completely different from what he had expected.
One side was Kong Ming. Who was the other side?
His gaze looked toward the figure standing opposite him. Very young, and also very unfamiliar; he had never seen him before.
"Only three recognized individuals have appeared. Even if Kong Ming has already won against one person, winning against this person still won't make him The Chosen."
Huang Pan clearly knew the difficulty of being chosen by the Spirit of the Vast Sun, but Kong Ming advancing on the Ordained Path was ultimately not a good thing.
He raised his head slightly and glanced upward. "This place is too far from the Abyssal Domain. The ti required to perform a Sacrificial Ritual to Great Heaven is not short..."
He hoped the dust would settle as soon as possible, to avoid more unexpected variables.
But the attention of the Ancient Kings was not on Huang Pan; instead, they stared at the Spirit of the Vast Sun.
The other party's state at this mont seed Not Quite Right. Although it was also observing the battle, the dragon's head was Grimacing and Baring Teeth, its nostrils spewing out flas of light, its body twisting endlessly, and the surrounding Purple Flas rolling like waves.
That kind of uneasy, anxious emotion could be felt even by them.
