Chapter 552: Look, Is There Someone on That Nail?

Within the Sacrifice Moon Domain, there is no true sun. It is dim all year round, and only during the three months when the Heavenly Fire passes through the sky does the entire domain bloom with bright light.

Only, that light represents death.

But not all clans can adapt to such a living environment. Thus, amidst the repeated withering and revival of all living things, some clans with peerless talent were born among the powerful ones.

They proposed the concept of an artificial sun, and due to the relative strength of the clans and the replenishment of generations, they finally raised their own clan's sun.

It was just that the light and heat did not spread very far, only able to shroud the clan's sphere of influence, and the power could not compare to the Dawn Sun. But regardless, being able to do this was enough to provide great protection to the clan.

Such clans naturally had more people serving as Divine Envoys, so every time the Crimson Mother arrived, although the clan would be destroyed, the sun would be left behind, and the revival and development would be faster.

Repeating the cycle, over countless years, there were a total of nine clans in the Sacrifice Moon Domain that created artificial suns. Due to some accidents, three were extinguished, and now there are six left.

The Solitary Sun Clan's artificial sun was one of these six, and it was also the one formed in the shortest time. It is said that when it was built back then, a mysterious person had helped.

And a few months ago, the sun they hung in the sky inexplicably disappeared on its own. The whole process was extremely abrupt, and no matter how heavily guarded the Solitary Sun Clan was, it was of no avail.

It was as if this sun had hidden itself.

At this moment, it appeared in the sky above this Great World fragment.

"The few old immortals of the Solitary Sun Clan back then borrowed my things and didn't return them. Hmph hmph, they didn't know, this was intentional on my part." The Captain looked up at the sun, feeling incomparably comfortable in his heart.

"They raised it quite well for me."

In the firmament, the light shone. This sun released by the Captain shone with dazzling light, and even more scorching intent radiated from within, making the heavens and earth at this moment seem to have entered a hot season.

The temperature rose instantly, and the scorching intent was still rising. In just ten-odd breaths, the heat radiated from the sun was already incomparably astonishing.

Countless mists radiated from the ice layer. This Unmelting Glacier showed signs of melting.

However, it was clear that compared to the glacier of the entire Great World fragment, one artificial sun was not enough to melt it in its entirety. This was also the reason why the Captain had come to this ice peak today.

"Just melting this place is enough!" The Captain's eyes revealed strange light. He raised both hands and waved toward the sky, shouting loudly.

"Little Roundy, here, here, shine here."

The sun in the firmament shook violently, and the scattered light and heat instantly concentrated, shrinking from all directions. Wherever it passed, the glacier began to melt on a small scale, revealing shocking traces.

Finally, all the light and heat condensed onto the ice mountain where the Captain was.

Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu knew the power of this sun, so they had long since moved away, and the Captain's hair and eyebrows were instantly burned, making him look very strange.

But he didn't care at all. His clothes were as usual, and his expression revealed comfort.

"It was cold originally, but this is much warmer."

And the ice peak beneath his feet, after the concentration of this light and heat, began to melt. The black ice water didn't even have time to flow before it turned directly into mist.

That high ice peak shrank visibly to the naked eye. Very quickly, the ice layer revealed a hole a hundred zhang in size. Mist continued to rise from within, the depth kept increasing, melting downward, and bursts of ancient auras also spread out as the ice layer dissolved.

As Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu watched all this, their hearts jumped. A roar echoed from within the hole in the ice layer.

This black ice layer, at this moment, melted directly to the very bottom!

It revealed the true earth within that had never been shown to the world for countless years.

It was just that compared to the black glacier of this entire world, this hole a hundred zhang in size was like a needle eye. So although it was pierced through, the cold air from the surroundings still made it show signs of wanting to re-freeze.

The Captain didn't care about this. At this moment, his expression was excited, and he quickly looked down.

With the help of the sunlight, the earth deep inside the hundred-zhang ice hole was extremely clear. One could see that on the black mud, there actually existed orderly blood-colored gullies.

These gullies were densely arranged together, as if they were part of a huge fingerprint!

It was as if a supreme existence's palm had fallen back then, slapping onto the earth of this Great World, shattering all living things, and leaving behind its own blood-colored palm print.

And the print here was just a corner of one of his finger prints.

"Big Jianjian, Little Ningning, hurry, take out my treasure skin!"

After the Captain confirmed he was not wrong, he roared loudly, raised both hands, and controlled the sun with all his might, radiating more heat to prevent the hole here from healing again.

Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu did not dare to be slow. They had been concentrating fully. Hearing this, they did not hesitate at all. Xiang Ningyan waved a large hand and took out a pale yellow skin.

This skin was not small, spreading out to the size of fully dozens of people. It was rectangular overall, and there were a large number of stitching traces on it.

As for the origin of the skin quality, because it had been repaired quite perfectly, it was difficult to tell for a moment.

Wu Jianwu also hurriedly came over, grabbing this skin together with Xiang Ningyan. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, stretched this skin out with force, facing the hole beneath the ice layer.

"Haha, the more I look at this treasure skin, the better it gets." In mid-air, the Captain was beaming, his eyes revealing heat.

Xiang Ningyan wanted to speak but stopped, looking at Wu Jianwu.

Wu Jianwu remained silent.

The next instant, the Captain, who was in high spirits, pinched a seal with both hands, pointed toward the firmament again, and a low roar came from his mouth.

"Little Roundy, give me a few explosive flashes, help me image and rub it!"

The sun in the sky shook instantly. The next moment, it actually flashed continuously. The light became unprecedentedly intense in an instant, then extinguished in an instant, and then repeated like this.

Repeating the cycle over ten times, because the intervals between them were too fast, this series of explosive flashes made the surroundings extremely bright.

And the skin stretched by Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu also gradually revealed fingerprints under the refraction of light at this moment.

Its appearance was exactly the same as the fingerprint beneath the hole, only it had been shrunk a lot. At this moment, it was rapidly becoming clear, and even more astonishing pressure spread within.

Even though Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu had been prepared, their bodies still trembled, as if the item they were holding had undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment, becoming incomparably heavy, pressing them so they could not stay in mid-air and began to fall.

But soon, bloodline power radiated from Xiang Ningyan's body, and a large number of small beasts appeared around Wu Jianwu, also radiating bloodline fluctuations. Only then did they manage to persist.

Ten-odd breaths later, as the sun became dim, the fingerprints on that skin became completely clear.

Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu endured the trembling, rapidly rolled up the skin, and after putting it away, they each breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the Captain in mid-air with lingering fear.

The dim afterglow of the sun in mid-air fell on the Captain, making his figure look full of greatness, and also reflecting the emotion on his expression.

"It's a pity that such a magnificent scene can only be appreciated by the three of us. My little A-Qing cannot see it."

The Captain stood with his hands behind his back, full of emotion.

"When I describe it to him later, he will definitely feel very complicated in his heart. It's a pity, a pity."

The Captain shook his head and was just about to continue speaking, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The firmament of the Great World fragment suddenly shone, and the heavens and earth changed color.

A piece of pale blue light appeared in the sky.

It was not a small piece, but the entire sky!

Looking from afar, the dim sky here turned entirely pale blue at this moment, and this blue light kept intensifying. A terrifying fluctuation was descending outside this sky.

Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu's expressions changed, while the Captain was calm.

"It should be that the people outside have discovered it. They came very quickly. But it doesn't matter; this was also within my expectations."

"You two leave according to the method I told you before. We will meet at Tianniu Mountain. Once we arrive there, the other fortune I promised you will appear."

The Captain raised his hand and directly took out a jade slip.

"So now, let us each..."

Before he could finish his last sentence, suddenly, on the firmament filled with pale blue light, a huge roar like the opening of heaven and earth erupted.

This sound resonated through the clouds, deafening. The sky transformed from ice layers directly shattered, revealing a long crack.

This crack spread for fully ten thousand miles. The sound that came echoed continuously, causing the earth to begin to tremble.

And it was not just one crack. In the blink of an eye, a second, a third, a fourth...

Dozens of cracks appeared on the sky's ice layer simultaneously. Looking from afar, the sky transformed from ice layers was like a broken mirror, and there were cracking sounds exploding continuously like heavenly thunder.

As for the blue light emanating from within, it was even more dazzling than before, causing the pale blue sky to turn deep blue.

And dazzling light shone even more strongly from every crack, forming long beams of light, reflecting on the glacier.

The black glacier could not stop the blue invasion either, so amidst continuous refraction, the earth here rapidly turned blue. In the blink of an eye, within the heavens and earth, it was all this color.

Terrifying pressure erupted along with the light.

And the astonishing fluctuation from outside the sky's ice layer was also earth-shaking at this moment.

Amidst the roaring, the sky collapsed. Countless ice blocks fell toward the earth like blue meteorites. The ground shook, and collapse appeared as well.

This scene was heaven-collapsing and earth-splitting.

Deafening sounds echoed in all directions, and amidst this sky collapse, a huge nail ten thousand zhang long revealed a tip in the firmament!

Just a tip, and it caused the sky's ice layer to shatter in circles with it as the center. As they fell one after another, that blue nail had a monstrous momentum, whistling down!

The entire Great World fragment shook as never before. The Captain's arrival before had not caused such a huge change.

And countless dead souls within this Great World, whether drifting outside or sleeping within the ice layer, at this moment, emitted sharp sounds filled with terror.

To them, this was the arrival of the apocalypse!

Xiang Ningyan was completely horrified, and Wu Jianwu was about to cry.

"It's over! I said outside that I had a bad premonition this time, and you insisted on dragging me here!!"

"Chen Erniu, what exactly did you do? What is this situation!!"

Both of them had long since pinched their teleportation talismans, but this teleportation, which was invincible in the Captain's mouth, had now lost its effect amidst this heaven-and-earth-changing event.

The Captain also gasped, his eyes widened, somewhat dazed.

"I don't know either. This matter is a bit strange, too weird. I just came in to leave a shadow; I didn't do anything else. It shouldn't be like this. How can this Ghost Clan be so unreasonable? One move and it looks like they want to destroy everything!"

"What do they want to do? Too much!"

The Captain's body trembled. Instinctively, he looked up at the blue nail that was whistling down. His dazed expression was quickly replaced by horror, and he cursed out loud.

"Damn... this is a Sovereign Weapon!!!"

"This Ghost Clan is a bunch of lunatics. To kill us, they actually used a Sovereign Weapon! I haven't seen them be so cruel back then! But where did they get a Sovereign Weapon? No, this is the nail on the Sovereign's third son's brow!"

"This damn thing is what I was going to take when I prepared for the sixth big event! Who!! Who got there first!!"

Huge waves stirred in the Captain's heart, and he felt unconvinced, but the aura from the Sovereign Weapon still made him shiver. After finding that the jade slip had no effect, his body jumped up violently and he ran toward the distance.

While running, he took out more teleportation jade slips to pinch, and at the same time, he roared wildly.

"You two stop beeping, hurry up and follow me to escape! There's a huge change here. It really wasn't me who did it!"

"It was you!" Wu Jianwu's eyes turned red, and he roared. But he knew that now was not the time to be angry, so he gritted his teeth in his heart, secretly thinking that if he could live and get out, he must immediately stay away from this lunatic.

"Back then, the Ten-Intestine Tree was like this. Chen Erniu, can you not die if you don't court death!!" Xiang Ningyan was also terrified. This feeling of life-and-death crisis suppressed his fear of the Captain, and he couldn't help but roar, but he still sped toward the Captain.

Soon, the three of them were like three rabbits on this shattered earth, fleeing for their lives.

But the next instant, the roar of the firmament came even louder, and the range of shattering was even larger.

Until countless ice blocks collapsed and fell from above, that nail, which arrived with infinite momentum and destructive force, broke through everything and completely rushed into this Great World fragment.

Its arrival erupted with incomparably terrifying fluctuations. Countless dead souls wailed and shattered. The heavens and earth spread with violent intent. The three of them could only huddle together, open that skin, and flee amidst the trembling.

And the Captain was unconvinced. He couldn't help but look back at the nail that was whistling down toward the earth. After this one look, his pupils shrank violently and he gasped.

"Damn, on that nail... there's a person!!"

Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu instinctively looked back. In their eyes, on that terrifying, astonishingly huge nail, there was indeed a figure standing.

Amidst the hazy blue light, this person stood alone, long hair dancing, clothes blown by the wind, with an extraordinary temperament like an immortal. Especially the handsome face and slender body, everything gave a feeling of incomparably perfection.

And he stood on that nail, as if this object belonged to his weapon, being driven by him.

This kind of temperament, this kind of momentum, was enough to make everyone's mind shake after seeing it.

"Do you guys think this person looks a bit familiar..." The Captain's footsteps paused, staring blankly at the sky, whispering.

Xiang Ningyan was dumbfounded, his eyes revealing disbelief, his mind blank.

Wu Jianwu was also stunned, his expression revealing daze. The Captain pinched him, very hard.

Xiang Ningyan instinctively glared, but the Captain found that Xiang Ningyan was in pain, knowing this was not an illusion, so he gasped, his eyes revealing intense light.

"It really is little A-Qing!"

"Little Junior Brother, I'm here!" The Captain jumped up violently, waving his hands continuously toward the sky.

At the same time, in the shattered firmament, that huge nail whistled, and the pressure struck the ground first.

The ground collapsed over a large area, the ice layer sank, and layers exploded.

There were ice blocks falling from the sky, and ice blocks splashing on the earth as well.

And Xu Qing, standing on the nail, was actually not as calm in his heart as he appeared. His heart was trembling, and huge storms were stirring in his mind.

The power of this nail was too terrifying. He recalled the journey, from the moment this nail touched the outer ice plain, wherever it passed, the ice layer kept collapsing, the sharp momentum seeming indestructible. All the ice layers along the way shattered, until it blasted open a huge hole and descended into this Great World fragment.

It also brought him here.

The moment he arrived here, Xu Qing saw the black glacier collapsing, and saw a light source like a sun in mid-air, only it was very dim, as if it didn't have much spare energy to radiate light and heat.

He was very strange, wondering why there was a sun here, when he saw three rabbit-like figures on the ground.

For a moment, Xu Qing's expression was a bit dazed, and a strange feeling rose.

Seeing the Captain and the others here, Xu Qing felt it was inconceivable. Clearly, the agreement was to meet at Tianniu Mountain. He had been thinking about going there quickly before, but the other party was actually here.

But this feeling of inconceivability disappeared in an instant. It seemed that the Captain appearing here was also reasonable.

After all, according to the other party's madness, it seemed that the more unimaginable the place, the easier it was for him to appear.

The Captain had gone further and further on the road of courting death, never knowing fatigue, until one day when the dream of courting death came true, would he end this crazy life.

These emotions only sprouted in Xu Qing's heart for an instant. At this moment, he didn't have the slightest hesitation. The moment the blue nail roared toward the earth, his body rose violently, leaving the nail.

With the nail's speed, Xu Qing's departure was complete in an instant. He still had blue light protection on his body. After detaching from the nail, he swayed violently and headed straight for the Captain and the others in the distance.

Behind Xu Qing, that huge blue nail was getting faster and faster, stirring up a storm, and even more blue light seas circled. Amidst this sky collapse and earth shattering, it approached the ice layer on the ground suddenly.

In the blink of an eye, only two thousand zhang remained between it and the earth.

At such a close distance, the destructive intent radiated from the nail could already destroy everything. The collapse of the ice layer kept spreading, and a huge deep pit appeared directly on the ground.

The surroundings roared and shattered. The depth of the deep pit was ten thousand zhang, and it was still collapsing downward. Many of the dead souls sleeping within died under this pressure before they could even wake up.

Those who woke were even more miserable, unable to escape, shattered to pieces.

Until the distance reached one thousand zhang, eight hundred zhang, five hundred zhang...

The shattering of the ground reached its limit. The bottom of the deep pit had already revealed the mud earth. Unlike when the Captain raised the sun and the ice layer would heal itself, at this moment, the ice layer no longer had the power to heal.

Until an earth-shaking roar echoed, and the entire Great World fragment shook as never before, the Sovereign's Nail fell into the deep pit of the ice layer.

The moment it touched, a ring-shaped storm erupted on the ice layer, and even more impact force, following the squeezing of the deep pit, expanded with a rumbling sound toward the surroundings.

Looking from afar, the ice layer, with that place as the center, continued to explode and kept rising.

A hundred miles, a thousand miles, ten thousand miles...

Endless ice layers exploded together. At this moment, it was earth-shaking.

And the nail in that deep pit went forward indomitably, breaking through bamboo, destructive, touching the true mud deep inside.

The earth collapsed, the frozen mud collapsed. This nail broke through the mud layer and rushed beneath the surface of this Great World fragment, piercing through directly!

With a stronger momentum, a more determined belief, and a more terrifying sharpness, it blasted fiercely toward the depths!

Outside, although Xu Qing was in mid-air, he was too close. The aftermath stirred by the collapse of the earth caused his body to lose balance, and like a kite with a broken string, he was blown further away.

Fortunately, there was blue light protection of the same origin as the nail, so after Xu Qing spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, his body used the force to speed up, fleeing with all his might.

As for the Captain and the others, they had also risen into the air. They were some distance away and had that skin to block, and even the sun was taken back by the Captain to share the burden, so they were barely okay.

But they were each still palpitating.

Both sides approached rapidly, and Xu Qing's voice, carrying a reminder, echoed suddenly.

"Rise into the air with all your might! A huge change is about to appear below!"

Xu Qing knew the purpose of that nail very well, so he understood that the subsequent collapse of this world fragment must start from the earth. At this moment, after reminding them, he sped toward the collapsing firmament.

The Captain and the others were also very fast. They understood that now was not the time for reminiscing, so they erupted with all their might, heading straight for the firmament.

And Wu Jianwu and Xiang Ningyan were slow, so the Captain simply rolled them up, erupted with stronger power, and whistled into the sky.

Seeing the four of them getting further and further away from the earth, until they approached the firmament, the world's vibration erupted again.

This time it was even more astonishing and intense than before, affecting not just ten thousand miles, but the entire range of this Great World fragment.

Because the source just now was from top to bottom, but now the source was from bottom to top!

Beneath the ice layer of this Great World fragment, at the bottom of this frozen earth, there existed a behemoth. At this moment... it had awakened from its sealed and suppressed state.

It was trembling, rising from beneath the earth toward the top.

All the ice layers were lifted, countless ice blocks were exploding, and a huge bronze coffin broke through the surface, broke through the frozen earth, broke through the ice layer, and appeared in the eyes of Xu Qing and the four!

It was exactly the same as the coffin beneath the Heavenly Fire Sea!

Majestic and astonishing.

It had been buried underground for endless years. At this moment... it reappeared in the world!

Ancient auras filled the heavens and earth.

And on the lid of that coffin, there was a nail nailed there, and the coffin lid was filled with cracks.

Shocking to the eye, blue mist rose on the nail, and the Crown Prince's figure was revealed. He floated outside the coffin and spoke softly.

"Third Sister, wake up." ===== CHAPTER 553 =====
