Chapter 687: Xu Qing, You Are Truly Ruthless!
The explosive power of the Zhong Yuanzi, although not weak originally, ultimately had an upper limit. But after merging with a trace of divine fire from the God-Child's burning body in the Jiyue Domain, it underwent a heaven-turning and earth-shaking change.
This change came from its essence, like an upgrade, making it conform to the characteristics of the Sun of Dawn to a certain extent.
As a result, its power became extremely terrifying.
The moment it was thrown out by Xu Qing, it ignored all obstacles of the flesh-and-blood vortex, ignored the might from the Jin Wu's large hand, and directly broke through everything, falling into the vortex.
It appeared in the capital of the original Tianfeng Kingdom, on Chen Yangzi's chessboard, rolling a few times on it, emanating white light, and terrifying aura surged within.
Chen Yangzi had originally been confident of victory, and his expression was relaxed. After all his plans were successfully completed, he was very sure about this capture.
But the moment he saw the Zhong Yuanzi and felt its aura, his pupils shrank abruptly, and heavenly thunder exploded directly in his heart.
He didn't know what that was, but the extreme life-and-death crisis made every hair on his body stand on end.
Danger, extreme danger!
The feeling that every inch of flesh and every bone in his body was trembling, conveying an incomparably dangerous feeling to him, made Chen Yangzi's heart churn completely.
The breath of death came surging like a tide.
He knew he had no time to react and could not resist. At this moment, the only way to survive was the chessboard.
Thus, the first moment the white light erupted, he directly severed his hand reaching into the vortex. The next breath, a sea of white light, carrying the might of destroying heaven and earth, erupted from the Zhong Yuanzi.
In the blink of an eye, it covered Chen Yangzi's room.
Everything in this room, including the building itself, including the chairs, including the chessboard, and including Chen Yangzi's body, turned to ashes at this moment, evaporated by the heat wave, and vanished.
And the eruption of white light was just the beginning. After the sea of light submerged Chen Yangzi's residence, it spread rapidly in all directions, covering the nearby buildings and the surrounding heaven and earth in an instant.
Buildings disintegrated and burned into dust; the sky turned crimson, and heat waves churned.
Along with the sea of light, it destroyed everything.
Looking from afar, the sea of light in that area formed a huge semi-circular cover, and everything existing within it turned into fly ash.
This semi-circular light cover was still expanding rapidly.
And within the Tianfeng Capital, there were no mortals; they had long since left with the migration of the Tianfeng Kingdom.
Those who existed in the Imperial Capital now were all subordinates of the Seventh Prince and forces that had attached themselves from all directions.
Among these people, there was no lack of strong ones; there were many Void Returns, and even more Spirit Apertures.
They were either die-hard loyalists of the Seventh Prince or those who had come to defect and pledge allegiance, belonging to the foundation that the Seventh Prince had built for himself to establish his mansion in this domain in the future.
Every party had value to him, and they were the foundation of his grand plans for the future.
So they were not sent to the front line, but left in this safe Imperial Capital.
But now, the eruption of the light cover and the terror emanating from within instantly caused the horror of all cultivators in the capital. That heart-palpitating feeling and that dangerous sense of death made everyone's expressions change drastically.
And in the Imperial Palace, at this moment, the Seventh Prince was gathering a group of people to discuss how to prepare the supplies needed for the front-line battlefield.
Among them, one person was from Fenghai Prefecture, and his words were still echoing in the main hall.
"Regarding the supplies needed for the front line, I think Fenghai Prefecture can fully provide them, after all..."
Before he could finish his words, the terrifying aura erupting from the direction of Chen Yangzi's residence directly made the sky extremely bright, and the world turned into nothingness.
The sky rumbled, a piece of crimson.
The earth shook violently.
Everyone in the main hall had their expressions change drastically, heat waves rushed toward their faces, and their hair began to burn.
The Seventh Prince even stood up instinctively, looking into the distance.
Horror appeared on his face, and in his pupils, a semi-circular light cover that was constantly expanding was clearly reflected.
"Sun of Dawn..." the Seventh Prince gasped.
This catastrophe was still continuing.
The eruption of the sea of light and heat waves rose to the sky, churning endlessly toward the surroundings, covering a small half of the city area, covering most of the city area, until... after covering the entire Imperial Capital, it expanded another large area.
The forbidden magic treasure of the Tianfeng Kingdom was activated, attempting to resist, but it could not hold on for long, just a few breaths of time, and it split apart.
Countless cultivators wanted to escape, but their bodies, in mid-air, on the ground, in any area, were of no avail.
The sweep of the sea of light turned countless cultivators directly into flesh and fly ash.
The expansion of the heat wave swallowed even more, burning fire people, miserable wails, making the Tianfeng Imperial Capital a human purgatory.
Until a stick of incense later, the light dissipated, and the residual temperature of the heat wave and the smell of roasted meat filled this place.
Looking around, the Imperial Capital... no longer existed.
There was only a piece of scorched earth, no buildings, no skeletons, everything turned into dust.
This Tianfeng Imperial Capital, which had stood on the earth for countless years, was erased today.
Only less than a thousand people survived this catastrophe. The Seventh Prince was naturally among them, but every one of them was embarrassed to the extreme, each with injuries.
At this moment, looking at all this from afar, the disheveled Seventh Prince no longer had half of his usual composure. His body trembled, his eyes were crimson, and his entire emotional state had entered madness.
His demeanor, his pride, his arrogance, all collapsed at this moment.
"Ah ah ah..."
"Who is it? Who is this..."
"Who threw a Sun of Dawn here!"
The Seventh Prince's voice was miserable, his eyes filled with countless bloodshot veins. He could not help but lose his composure, he could not be calm, even now, he could not accept what he was seeing, could not accept what he had just experienced.
And even more so, he could not accept that the capital, which was fine a moment ago, had turned into ruins this moment.
Especially thinking of the nearly one million subordinates who were loyal to him, whom he could let flatten everything with one word, and those who had defected from various forces, sects, and tribes to build his foundation.
Every one of them was his wealth, his preparation.
But now... nothing existed anymore.
His years of preparation went down the drain!
The Seventh Prince felt sharp pain in his heart, his face turned pale, a mouthful of blood surged from his body and sprayed out. His body trembled continuously, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he let out a miserable sound toward the sky.
Pain, pain that went deep into the bone marrow and entered the soul!
He could not imagine, and did not understand, why it was like this!
Why... would a Sun of Dawn explode here, destroying everything he had.
He was even more heart-palpitating, fearful, scared. Just now... he had also almost perished.
As a prince, especially a prince who occupied a domain and had a bright future, he had never thought about death.
But today... death was so close to him.
If not for the means left by the Tianlan King, he might not have seen tomorrow's sun!
And while the Seventh Prince was trembling and miserable, the investigation regarding this matter also appeared after his subordinates explored it.
Only to see a figure fly out from the scorched earth and dust in front, coming to the Seventh Prince and immediately kneeling down, with blood at the corners of his mouth, speaking in a low voice.
"Your Highness, some reasons have been found..."
The Seventh Prince turned his head abruptly, staring dead at the person in front of him, breathing rapidly, grabbing him, gnashing his teeth.
"Speak!"
"The source of the Sun of Dawn's eruption came from... Chen Yangzi's residence..." the person said in a low voice.
"And Chen Yangzi was executing the mission Your Highness arranged for him regarding Fenghai Prefecture, so... this might be retaliation from Fenghai Prefecture..."
The person did not dare to continue. Chen Yangzi's cultivation base, even if he self-destructed, could not display the power of a Sun of Dawn, so from the mission he was executing, it was not hard to guess the source.
But this guess made him terrified, and also made the thousand people who survived around him all terrified.
The Seventh Prince's hand trembled, his heart churning uncontrollably and strongly. He looked abruptly in the direction of Fenghai Prefecture, killing intent surging in his eyes. If a gaze could kill, if a gaze could turn into a Sun of Dawn, then at this moment, Fenghai Prefecture would definitely not exist in his gaze.
But unfortunately, he could not do it.
"Fenghai Prefecture can manufacture the Sun of Dawn, although the power cannot compare to the real one, it is still heaven-shaking!"
"Is this the reason why the Commandant's ten-thousand-man army lost contact in Fenghai County?" the Seventh Imperial Prince murmured in his heart. He wanted to return to his composure, wanted to be calm again, and wanted to suppress the immense pain in his heart, but his trembling body and the fear hidden deep within his eyes betrayed his inner state.
He was scared!
"I only let Chen Yangzi capture Zi Xuan to be a furnace, to test Fenghai Prefecture... but Fenghai Prefecture actually threw a Sun of Dawn at me..."
"Xu Qing, it must be him who gave the order. He is warning me, don't provoke him, and don't think about touching his woman... Xu Qing, you are truly ruthless!"
Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince sprayed blood again, struggling to withdraw his gaze, staring blankly at the scorched earth in front, and finally gnashed his teeth fiercely.
"We leave here, hide, wait... wait for my uncle to return!" The Seventh Prince felt aggrieved in his heart, but more of it was heart-palpitation and fear. He was worried that another Sun of Dawn would come later.
Fenghai Prefecture, before the Tianlan King returned, he didn't want to provoke it, and didn't dare to provoke it. He felt that it was a group of lunatics, terrifying lunatics who had mastered the Sun of Dawn.
At the same time, the moment the Tianfeng Kingdom was erased under the eruption of the Zhong Yuanzi, in the Fenghai Prefecture main hall, which was very far from here, the flesh-and-blood vortex collapsed with a boom.
The Jin Wu's hand that Chen Yangzi had stretched out fell to the ground, wriggled rapidly, and transformed into Chen Yangzi's body, incomparably weak.
After the cultivation base reaches a certain level, as long as the body is not completely destroyed, regeneration is not a difficult thing, but the price is high.
And Chen Yangzi's previous choice was his only way to survive. Only by severing his arm and relying on the arm's regeneration could he survive in that mortal trap.
At this moment, following the arm's transformation into a body, Chen Yangzi retreated abruptly, his face pale, his expression carrying heaviness, horror hidden in his eyes, looking abruptly at the collapsed flesh-and-blood vortex, and then instinctively looking at Xu Qing.
"You... what was that you threw in just now?" ===== CHAPTER 688 =====
