"Ha..." Huang Pan's expression turned from cloudy to clear. "The Taixuan Family didn't sacrifice in vain, what a pity... The Ordained Path has only just begun. It would be very difficult for the Spirit of the Vast Sun to forcefully perform the Selection."
Were the shackles placed on the Spirituality of a Radiant Sun Class actually this restrictive?
Upon hearing this, the Ancient Kings couldn't help but be surprised. The Morning Star Spirit choosing a Chosen One only required the other party to have the Three Dragon Phantoms manifestation.
The Vast Sun... was indeed extraordinary.
"He's going to be chosen?"
Kong Ming stood up panting heavily, looking at the Virtual Screen before him with a drastically changed expression. "How could it be so fast?"
The Selection of the Spirit of the Vast Sun was extrely cumberso and complicated. This Taixuan Hong had only defeated two people who had obtained the Recognition of the Three Dragons. How could he be recognized so quickly?
"The Incense and Offering Sentint of the Taixuan Family..."
Kong Ming's injuries had recovered quite a bit. The caved-in chest and the charcoal-like marks all over his body had mostly disappeared, but his face still lacked color.
This Sovereign of the Purple Zenith class was the first Radiant Sun Class to be lost outside in the long years of the Abyssal Domain.
For other Radiant Sun Classes, when picking a Chosen One, they all required walking the Ordained Path step by step and defeating others. There had never been an unexpected situation.
"If this person is chosen, then there will be no chance..."
Thinking of this, his expression couldn't help but pause slightly, only realizing then that he had already lost the qualification to beco The Chosen One. His heart couldn't help but twitch.
Although there was still the World-Honored One class waiting for him to fight for, he had to wait. If the World-Honored One didn't perish, even if he was chosen, it would be useless.
But even if he had lost his qualification, he still didn't want to watch this Taixuan Hong beco The Chosen One.
"World-Honored One..." Kong Ming's gaze fell on that Glazed Sarira, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. "If Taixuan Hong also falls into the hands of Great Heaven, they will have too many cards."
Although attempting to advance to Vast Sun inevitably required rging with the Spirituality into one, as long as they locked down either The Chosen One or the Spirituality, they could render the other party helpless.
But if Great Heaven arrived faster, they could obtain both the Spirituality and The Chosen One.
......
"Holy Sovereign protect , Holy Sovereign protect ..." Taixuan Tianyi, however, had a completely different expression. His heart beat rapidly, and his face was flushed red.
"My Taixuan Family sacrificed to this Spirit of the Vast Sun for tens of thousands of years, and indeed it wasn't in vain. The Chosen One of the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith is about to return to my Taixuan Family!"
Tears welled up in Taixuan Tianyi's eyes, but his expression gradually beca solemn as he looked at the Virtual Screen, watching the Spirit of the Vast Sun, which was grimacing but making no further moves.
"Not good. Taixuan Hong only defeated the two of us. Even if the Spirit of the Vast Sun wants to forcefully recognize him, it's still not enough qualification..."
Realizing this, Taixuan Tianyi's expression changed, gradually becoming anxious: "No, this is the only opportunity."
"Both the Buddha Land and Great Heaven have already intervened. It's impossible for Taixuan Hong to continue walking the Ordained Path. Damn it, damn it..."
He Gnash His Teeth, unable to help thinking of his parents and relatives captured by the Buddha Land, and the Seed of Arhat carved onto his own body. Their lineage was probably about to wither away.
The opportunity was right before their eyes, yet still a step away. A kind of sorrow arose from his heart. Prostrating on the ground, he couldn't help but wail, "Holy Sovereign, Holy Sovereign, please open your eyes..."
Suddenly, Taixuan Tianyi's face stiffened. The Holy Sovereign naturally couldn't open his eyes, but he suddenly rembered sothing. A Terrifying Gleam flashed in his eyes. "Right, right... that Statue, it's a Spiritual Effigy. Let's try, let's try... Perhaps there's still a chance..."
......
Su Chen looked at the pillar of light reaching to the heavens before him, surrounded by countless dragon phantoms, its montum grand and vast.
Among them was one thickest phantom, exactly the Spirit of the Vast Sun. It seed to be shackled by an invisible force, finding it difficult to make any further moves. Its breathing grew increasingly rapid, as if wanting to break free.
"Isn't this commotion a bit too big?" Su Chen glanced worriedly at the big shots in the distance. This ti, there was no protection from the Tower of Spirit.
This kind of exposure made him uneasy, thankfully he was enveloped by the Solar Remnants.
The situation now involved two colossal entities from the Abyssal Domain, the Buddha Land and Great Heaven. If his true identity was exposed, the trouble would be massive.
"If the Stingy Dragon truly can't do it, it's better to leave first." Su Chen clenched the Ignition Cinders, having already made up his mind. Nothing could compare to his life.
But just in the next mont, a thunderclap exploded in the Firmant. The Spirit of the Vast Sun, which was struggling against so invisible shackling force, stagnated. The massive dragon head looked up, Doubtful and Uncertain.
The Firmant ford by the Starfire, originally like churning purple molten gold flowing endlessly, now had an ink-black rift tearing open from the center.
It had no edges, no shape. In its profound depths churned an almost substantial "darkness."
As the surging Starfire approached that rift, it was as if pulled by invisible threads, slowly twisting and curling, before turning into green smoke and dissipating.
"That is..." Su Chen's breath caught. An Unimaginable oppressive feeling ca Rushing Toward One—gloomy, eerie. Various bizarre and strange scenes faintly surfaced before his eyes, and the Psionic Power in his cells began to boil.
Huang Pan revealed a look of joy. "Great Heaven, you have finally arrived."
"Great Heaven!"
Undoubtedly, a Vast Sun had descended!
The Bronze Ancient King's pupils darted wildly.
The Vast Sea Emperor felt his scalp go numb.
The Zhenwu Ancient King also lowered his constantly crossed arms, his expression horrified.
"Sovereign of the Purple Zenith..." An indescribable voice ca from within the rift, as if far away on the horizon, yet also right beside their ears.
A massive palm phantom slowly rose from the depths of the rift, covering the sky and sun. Everyone's heart tightened, feeling as if the target of that giant palm was themselves.
"Roar!"
The Spirit of the Vast Sun seed extrely angry. All the surrounding Starfire surged over, its body expanding continuously, rising with a boom to fiercely contend against that palm.
Boom!
Su Chen only saw a brilliant light before his eyes as purple and black colors violently collided and intertwined in the void.
He couldn't see anything clearly; he could only see this Flare Realm disintegrating and cracking inch by inch.
Except for the Tower of Spirit, everywhere else had completely turned into a sea of flas. Huang Pan and the Ancient Kings all retreated to an extre distance, their minds filled with horror.
Amidst the monstrous waves of fire, Huang Pan looked at Great Heaven's strike failing, but he didn't care.
This was rely an appetizer. Since Great Heaven already knew, its true body arriving here was rely a matter of ti.
"Roar!" The Spirit of the Vast Sun had Earth-Shattering Waves of anger in its eyes, constantly tearing at the surrounding Starfire to gather it.
"Stubborn and Incorrigible." An extrely indifferent voice ca from the rift, but there was no second strike. Clearly, the distance was extrely far; it wasn't that simple to truly strike.
Su Chen gripped the Ignition Cinders, his expression shifting continuously as he looked at the monstrous waves of fire surging all around. "Leaving through the Tower of Spirit causes too much commotion, and with Huang Pan watching, he will definitely intercept ."
"But I still have the Venerable Manifestation ability. Perhaps I can try to leave. This isn't the Vast Sun's true body; there's still a chance."
The collision of the two just now, and the Spirit of the Vast Sun still having spare energy to protect the Tower of Spirit, was proof enough.
The Ignition Cinders lit up, and the surrounding Solar Remnants surged.
"...is the twelve thousand, three hundred and forty-second generation blood descendant of the Taixuan Family..."
Su Chen's expression stagnated. He could faintly hear a voice in his ears. Although faint, it was very clear. "This is... Taixuan Tianyi's voice?"
"...Today the family is withered, fleeing for our lives... There is Taixuan Hong who can be The Chosen... I perform the Heart-Rending Blood Sacrifice, hoping for your pity!"
"This guy..." Su Chen hadn't figured out the situation. Who was this a blood sacrifice to?
Taixuan Ye? But that Ancestor had been dead for who knows how many years.
"Blood sacrifice?" The Bronze Ancient King and others, who were waiting for an opportunity to escape, also heard this faint but clear voice, and couldn't help but pause.
They looked at the Tower of Spirit standing tall in the Starfire. In front of the Hall Door of the Cultivation Sanctum belonging to Taixuan Hong, a figure was kneeling on the ground. His entire body was ignited in blood fire, drifting away with the wind.
"Why is there another one surnad Taixuan? A Heart-Rending Blood Sacrifice, quite a deep bond of brotherhood." Huang Pan frowned, but then relaxed: "If Taixuan Ye was still alive, this Heart-Rending Blood Sacrifice would definitely attract his attention."
"But the Ancestor of the Taixuan Family has been dead for who knows how many years, and a blood sacrifice still needs a destination..."
His expression was indifferent, watching the blood fire drifting with the wind turn into tassels, winding upward, actually gradually heading toward the Spirit of the Vast Sun.
"Hmm?" Huang Pan's expression suddenly beca Doubtful and Uncertain. "How could it anchor onto the Spirit of the Vast Sun? He clearly sacrificed to Taixuan Ye. Professional Spirituality cannot possibly accept this kind of sacrifice..."
"No..." His face abruptly changed, and he exclaid: "It's that Statue!"
"Roar!" The Spirit of the Vast Sun rallied its spirit, opened its mouth, and spat out a Statue. It was exactly the one it had swallowed earlier.
The blood fire had already spread along it, covering the entire Statue.
At the sa ti, the Spirit of the Vast Sun's body also drilled entirely into it, subrging within.
The pillar of light rising from the Flalet that anchored the Spirituality also gradually dissipated. The phantom it condensed also faintly rged with it.
In an instant, the constantly churning waves of fire around stopped. Following that, like an ocean eye, the surrounding Starfire ca rolling in, subrging into the Statue.
The entire Statue burst with dazzling Purple Flas, its might becoming increasingly blazing until, at a certain mont, the flas exploded, and an extrely solid figure erged. His face looked as if carved by a knife, his gaze was cold, and his voice was vast and mighty.
"I am Taixuan Ye, Sovereign of the Purple Zenith!"
"He ca alive!?" Su Chen's eyelids twitched, finding it Unimaginable. Taixuan Tianyi actually sacrificed his Ancestor out.
"To be able to directly communicate with the Spiritual Effigy, one must either be of direct descent or have extrely high bloodline concentration. In other words, the guy performing the blood sacrifice has at least the True Brilliance Talent!"
"Good, good, good. The Taixuan Family, Taixuan Hong, using True Brilliance as a sacrifice to help you as well, what a deep bond of brotherhood!"
Huang Pan's face was incredibly ugly. He truly didn't expect that this Spiritual Effigy bringing him here would actually beco the biggest variable.
"Taixuan Ye?" A similarly surprised voice ca from the rift, but Taixuan Ye didn't respond. He shifted his gaze and looked at the top of the Tower of Spirit.
Su Chen's heart palpitated. This Ancestor of the Taixuan Family wouldn't see that he was a fake and shoddy product, would he?
He truly didn't expect Taixuan Tianyi to have such a thod. The other party truly recognized him as a mber of the Taixuan Family. If by chance...
But he only saw a point of light flash between this Ancestor's eyebrows, and a pillar of light descended from the sky. Su Chen only felt a brilliant expanse before his eyes.
The Status Panel appeared, with a large string of text on it.
Recording the Holy Sovereign, the Heavenly Venerable stealing Aura, the Spirit of the Vast Sun taking the initiative to be fooled, coupled with Taixuan Tianyi's blood sacrifice, everything had completely settled!
"He is born, Taixuan Hong!" Huang Pan's face was gloomy. The Access Level of "Taixuan Ye" was not sothing the Spirit of the Vast Sun could compare to.
The Ancient Kings had complex expressions. Taixuan Tianyi's blood sacrifice had pushed the final step.
After all the twists and turns, this Chosen One still landed on the Taixuan Family.
"Taixuan Hong... Karma..." Kong Ming slumped on the ground, his expression dazed, hands clasped together.
"This isn't the true Ancestor, just residual power in the Statue..." Su Chen gradually returned to his senses, only feeling so sort of change vaguely occurring in his body, but now was definitely not the ti to investigate.
The Ignition Cinders in his hand suddenly exploded uncontrollably. The flas wrapping him beca incomparably dazzling, directly tearing through the void and disappearing.
"Run!" The Bronze Ancient King's expression changed. Seeing that the revived Taixuan Ye had already t the giant hand reaching out from the rift again, he hurriedly turned and fled.
This "Taixuan Ye" was constantly tearing at the power of the Starfire, turning it into his own energy.
And the surrounding Solar Fla had already beco much thinner, its Lethality severely insufficient, enough to allow them to leave this place.
Several Streaking Lights scattered in different directions. The sea of flas churned, and nothing was visible anymore.
......
In the Nether Realm, a ball of fire suddenly erged. Su Chen breathed rapidly, suddenly returning to his senses, only to find that he had actually returned to the Nether Realm.
"This Ancestor of the Taixuan Family sent out." Su Chen's expression shifted, but he couldn't help sighing lightly. "This na of Taixuan Hong is probably secured now."
The developnt of the situation was truly hard for him to predict.
"Regardless, the goal has been achieved. Taixuan Tianyi... the Taixuan Family..." He remained silent for a mont and sighed, "If there's an opportunity, I will naturally do my best."
The Taixuan Ancestor's thods were Violent. The vigorous Remnant Embers around him hadn't faded yet, and his connection with the Physical Realm was still isolated.
Looking up at the Starfire above his head, he saw it shrinking at a speed Visible to the Naked Eye, and the coverage of its light was becoming smaller and smaller.
"This Taixuan Ye probably won't be able to hold on for too long. I'm afraid the Spirit of the Vast Sun will still fall into the hands of Great Heaven..."
Su Chen shook his head. This wasn't sothing he could influence. Just as he was preparing to open the Status Panel to see what new information there was, he felt a chill all over his body, as if he was being stared at by sothing.
"That is..." Su Chen narrowed his eyes, looking into the distance. A dark light was approaching at a speed difficult for the naked eye to discern, its might terrifying.
"This is... Morning Star?"
Su Chen could feel the other party's Aura; it was many tis stronger than Ni Chuan's.
As the Solar Fla shrank, there wasn't much Lethality left. The other party arrived before him in an instant, standing In the Void.
It was a burly middle-aged man wearing thick black Armor. His expression was quite surprised as he sized up Su Chen, who was wrapped in Remnant Embers. "It's actually a person. Did you co out of there?"
It seed like an inquiry, but he didn't wait for Su Chen to answer, saying with great interest: "Interesting. You must be so Recognized individual. To think you could still run out."
"A Morning Star of Great Heaven?" Su Chen remained silent for a long ti before asking. The Aura on this guy was faintly similar to that Huang Pan.
"Correct." The middle-aged man Magnanimous admitted. The dark shadow on his face flashed away, and he licked his lips:
"To obtain the Recognition of the Spirit of the Vast Sun, you must at least have the Divine Dawn Talent. Of course, I lean more toward you being True Brilliance."
"It just so happens I'm short of Human Stock in my hands. Consider it your honor."
Human Stock... Su Chen roughly understood why Taixuan Tianyi said that even in the Abyssal Domain, everyone Shun Like Snakes and Scorpions when it ca to Great Heaven.
One Huang Pan, one this middle-aged man. Having only t two, Su Chen felt a sense of disgust rising from the bottom of his heart.
Purple Flas kept spewing in and out of his mouth and nose. He estimated he definitely couldn't beat this guy.
Moreover... Su Chen murmured softly, "Great Heaven, Buddha Land, Huang Pan, Imasurable Buddha... endless."
"What did you say?" The middle-aged man frowned, then shook his head. "Forget it."
He reached out his hand, seemingly about to capture him.
"I'll take you first to sacrifice to my deceased Tianyi Brothers." Su Chen raised his head, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and shouted: "Heavenly Venerable!"
In an instant, behind Su Chen, a pair of different-colored eyes abruptly opened, followed closely by rapidly sketching out an ethereal figure.
This was "Heavenly Venerable, save ," not Venerable Manifestation. Venerable Manifestation clearly had a much higher standard and was freer. This guy in front of him wasn't worth him using it.
The middle-aged man's expression fluttered. He looked over in astonishnt, only feeling a chill down his spine. "What is that thing?"
Panic rose in his heart. Subconsciously, he wanted to escape, but he felt the surrounding Space almost stagnating, his body stiff, seemingly unable to move no matter what.
Boom!
The Nether Realm trembled, and Azure Lightning exploded, tearing through the sky and striking straight down.
"Open for !"
The middle-aged man only felt a life-and-death crisis striking. He let out a fierce roar. His face twisted and deford in an instant, his eye sockets sunken like dry wells, yet his pupils were crimson as blood.
It was as if so non-human thing was churning from the depths of his soul, wanting to break free from the shackles of his skin.
The black Armor on his chest suddenly lit up. The dim armor plates instantly glowed with a dark, inky luster, activated by an invisible force.
Black Substance spewed out like a boiling mud pit. It wasn't ordinary filth, but masses of churning dark mist carrying the scent of rot and brimstone.
This mass of black mist entwined around his body, spiraling upward, emitting an eerie, chilling fluctuation that caused heart palpitations. This Armor was impressively a Morning Star Artifact.
Crack!
The azure lightning thundered, carrying unstoppable force, striking straight down. The black smoke, the Armor—all were useless.
"Ah.....!" The middle-aged man howled fiercely. Su Chen remained expressionless.
An azure fla hand stretched out from behind, grabbing him directly and crushing him between its fingers.
"Leave a complete corpse." Su Chen said in a deep voice. The azure fla hand paused slightly. With continuous crackling of thunder, the life was quickly squeezed out between its fingers and palm.
