Chapter 844: Dawn Cracks the Seal

The human race's Sun of Dawn first appeared in the eyes of the myriad races of the Wanggu Continent during the Black Heaven Clan's clan-wide invasion war several years ago.

In that battle, the Black Heaven Clan, together with other alien races, besieged the human race. The flames of war spread, even reaching the Imperial Capital Domain.

The human race was teetering.

In the judgment of all parties, in that battle back then, the human race had almost no hope. Although they wouldn't be exterminated, it was highly probable that the Imperial Capital Domain would lose more than half.

As for the seven enclave counties, they would have to rely on their own fate.

No one expected that at that critical moment, the Sun of Dawn appeared on the battlefield with the terrifying power to tear apart heaven and earth and shock Wanggu.

At that moment, all the clans watching were silent, the Black Heaven Clan retreated in defeat, and the other alien races besieging the human race were horrified.

It was also in that battle that the name of the Sun of Dawn spread throughout Wanggu. Even the formidable Flame Moon Profound Heaven Clan developed a keen interest in the Sun of Dawn.

Research into the Sun of Dawn naturally became a focus for various clans.

As the number one heaven-chosen of the Flame Moon Profound Heaven Clan, Yan Xuanzi also had her own judgment about the Sun of Dawn. Therefore, after seeing the object in Chen Erniu's hand, she immediately recognized it, and her expression could not help but change drastically.

This Sun of Dawn, molded from the ancient sun, exceeded the conventional in power, especially since Xu Qing had also added Red Mother's flesh and blood into it back then.

Only that Sun of Dawn kept falling, shuttling through the gaps of the Star Dragon swept away by the sonic boom, and falling from the empty space formed by the parasol being shifted under the sonic boom.

The wailing sound of the one hundred and eight star faces in the sky was interrupted for the first time. Each expression was painful, and under the sweeping of that light and heat, they actually turned to ashes in an instant, evaporated by the heat wave, and vanished into nothingness.

It was just that because it was a one-time use, more of its significance was in deterrence.

Although the layout within the Imperial Palace and the pressure of this place itself were also incredibly astonishing and full of vast intent, perhaps capable of containing the power of the Sun of Dawn, the flesh and blood bodies within it would definitely fall into an unprecedented life-and-death crisis.

This made this object contain incomparably terrifying power, sufficient to serve as a trump card for Xu Qing and the Captain.

Once the Sun of Dawn was released here, the storm would instantly envelop everything.

In the blink of an eye, its light shot out, and its heat rose violently, shining on the starry sky and covering the earth!

Because of the appearance of the previous sonic boom, the altar below was clearly revealed, without any obstacles.

Not only was Yan Xuanzi retreating, but Tian Mozi and the other two, who were undergoing cultivation breakthroughs, also had their expressions change drastically.

It emitted blinding light.

Her pupils contracted, thunder erupted in her mind, and the intense life-and-death crisis made her retreat without any hesitation.

Shattering together with it were the one hundred and eight stars themselves. They also didn't last long, and under this light and heat, they ceased to exist!

And the eruption of the Sun of Dawn was just the beginning. After the sea of light covered the sky, it also enveloped everything.

The sky was crimson.

The earth heaved violently.

Even their fine hairs were standing up, and every inch of flesh and blood, every bone in their bodies was trembling. The feeling of transmitting incomparably dangerous information made the three's hearts churn completely.

It was really because once a domain treasure of this level exploded, its range of impact was extremely large, and although this Imperial Palace appeared to be an independent space, in reality, its range was ultimately limited.

Danger, danger!

Therefore, they didn't have any hesitation. Even if their breakthroughs were interrupted, they all stood up immediately, each unfolding their full strength to protect themselves while also rushing to retreat, wanting to leave this place using different methods.

Thus, this Sun of Dawn landed on the altar, landed on the purple-gold coffin there!

Until this moment, it was no longer a deterrent, but a true activation!

Vast and indescribable terrifying power rose within it and began to erupt.

For a time, the situation in the entire Imperial Palace changed instantly.

The chime bells, sacrificial drums, parasol, and the huge Star Dragon were all within its coverage.

And there was the altar that bore the brunt, as well as the mountains and rivers, terracotta warriors, and countless miscellaneous skins under the altar.

Everything in sight was crimson, and the heat wave followed the sea of light, wanting to destroy everything.

One could imagine that if there were no accidents, soon this Imperial Palace would become flying ashes, and together with the entire Imperial Mausoleum and the star where it was located, they would all be enveloped by the Sun of Dawn.

As for the people here, they had also reached the boundary of life and death at this moment. Yan Xuanzi had disheveled hair, blood sprayed wildly, and she let out roars from her mouth, one punch after another, her body even rolling backward, resisting the light and heat.

But clearly, even she could not persist for too long. Death was descending.

Not to mention Fan Shishuang and the others. These three were hit hard at this moment, their respective souls were shattering, they had already gone mad, and they unfolded countless methods, wanting to save themselves, but clearly, it was all useless.

It had to be said that the Captain's move was truly too ruthless.

Because he was not only ruthless to others, he was… equally ruthless to himself.

He and Xu Qing were also within the range of the Sun of Dawn.

The life-and-death crisis also enveloped them.

It was just that the advance preparation allowed him to persist longer. The moment he exploded the Sun of Dawn, he opened his mouth wide and only looked at Xu Qing once.

He didn't even need to speak, Xu Qing already understood, and without any hesitation, he turned into a stream of light and drilled into him.

After entering the Captain's body, Xu Qing's cultivation erupted fully, protective power spread, the power of Taiyin rose, and all methods and divine abilities used for protection were unfolded all at once in this life-and-death crisis.

And the Captain was the same. Faces appeared in his pupils, his chest turned into a vortex, and four blue arms tore through flesh and blood to emerge, quickly forming hand seals, fusing with Xu Qing's power to form ice blocks.

At the same time, he revealed madness in his eyes and took out a large amount of human skin—those were all his own skins—all draped on his body, and finally took out a cyan jade slip, grabbing it tightly in his hand.

A power of time actually spread from this jade slip.

"Little Junior Brother!"

Following the Captain's roar, Xu Qing inside his body immediately unfolded the sundial. As it roared and turned, it added the time power of the jade slip, adding more protection for the two.

But even so, under the eruption of the Sun of Dawn, the ice blocks collapsed, the time power distorted, Chen Erniu's skin burned, his body's flesh and blood were tearing, and the four blue arms began to collapse.

Xu Qing was the same. The sundial appeared with cracks, his cultivation was roaring, and all protection seemed unable to solve the key problem, at most just delaying the time of death.

But he believed in the Captain.

Even if the Captain's madness was courting death time and time again, every time… there was ultimately a glimmer of survival; he wasn't truly seeking death.

The facts were indeed so!

At the moment this Sun of Dawn erupted, wanting to destroy the Imperial Palace, wanting to turn heaven and earth into extreme brightness, and wanting to turn the world into nothingness, the resistance from the Imperial Palace itself appeared!

This was the Immortal Emperor's mausoleum, this was the Ancestral Emperor's Imperial Palace. Although this domain was far inferior to Wanggu, looking at it from the perspective of status, the one buried here was extremely noble.

Not to mention, there was also the god's layout here.

So the next instant, the crimson chime bells began to ring and unfolded in an array.

The sacrificial drums burned by flames began to beat and merged into the chime bells one by one.

The Star Dragon let out a deafening roar and charged directly.

Looking from afar, it was like eight fingers!

The chime bells were the fingernails, the sacrificial drums were the half-moons on the nails, and the dragon body was the illusory fingers.

On the ground, all the eyes on the burning skins opened in unison, the gaze had power, and it erupted instantly.

Giving the illusory fingers skin!

Those countless terracotta warriors being burned all moved. Their auras erupted instantly, all awakening in unison, sweeping up military malevolence, sweeping up nether death, rushing toward the sky, and turning into a palm.

One palm, eight fingers!

Mountains and rivers rose, turning into a vast array, becoming the fingerprints of this palm!

Even more astonishing was the altar itself. It emitted black light, representing destruction, rendering the light and heat of this place, and also sending this black light into the palm, making this palm incomparably pitch-black.

Following along with it was the heartbeat sound coming again from the altar coffin.

Thump-thump, thump-thump!

The appearance of the heartbeat made that huge palm that could cover the sky awaken directly, grabbing toward the erupting Sun of Dawn!

Light was covered at this moment.

Heat was isolated at this instant.

Everything was enveloped within that black palm.

But the Sun of Dawn was a domain treasure, especially this one, which was even more extraordinary. So even a counterattack of this status from the Imperial Palace could not destroy it without damage.

Thus, the next instant, the black palm and the light and heat of the Sun of Dawn unfolded a fierce confrontation, until a roar that shook the entire mausoleum, like countless thunders exploding, echoed out.

The black palm disappeared, and the Sun of Dawn also dissipated.

The terror from the Sun of Dawn was finally resolved.

In the sky, Yan Xuanzi was extremely disheveled, blood permeating her whole body.

In the distance, Tian Mozi and the other two had bodies that were mostly incomplete, the feeling of weakness was incomparably intense, and the feeling of palpitations was even more monstrous.

Because they were only a step away from dying here.

Equally disheveled was the Captain. All his methods were exhausted, his whole body was full of cracks, appearing as if he could shatter at any time. Noticing that Yan Xuanzi and the others were fine, he seemed a bit regretful.

But the next instant, he looked downward with bright eyes.

Xu Qing's figure also flew out from his body, carrying weakness, carrying exhaustion, suppressing his injuries, and also looking downward.

The Imperial Palace below had already changed drastically in appearance.

Chime bells, sacrificial drums, terracotta warriors, mountains and rivers… all became nothingness. Even that altar cracked with a huge fissure, piercing through the coffin.

The coffin split into two, sliding toward both sides.

Revealing a withered corpse inside wearing gold-threaded jade clothing!

The whole body was withered, wearing an imperial crown, and under the gold-threaded jade clothing was an imperial robe.

Although one could vaguely see the majesty through the attire, there was no longer the ceremony of the living, because on his face, a spider was crawling.

Fused together with his remains, inseparable.

Thus, the spider's face became his face.

"Sonic boom to remove obstacles, dawn to crack the seal, finally… opened the coffin of the Ancestral Emperor of this realm!"

"Little Junior Brother, let's go!"

Madness rose again in the Captain's eyes. His body swayed, and he rushed directly toward the remains below. Xu Qing gritted his teeth fiercely. At such a critical juncture, he naturally would not give up. Madness also appeared in his eyes, and he rushed toward the remains.

Tian Mozi and the other two in mid-air were already powerless to do anything at this moment. Seeing Xu Qing and the two still acting, their hearts skipped a beat, and they retreated rapidly by instinct.

They were scared, and they were tired.

Only Yan Xuanzi, all the hatred in her heart erupted fully at this moment. As she stepped, she sped, rushing toward Chen Erniu.

No matter what the other party wanted to do, what she wanted to do was very simple: kill this thief and destroy everything of his!

And just as the three's figures flew close to the altar remains, the spider face fused on the withered corpse's face opened its eyes suddenly!

Those were a pair of golden eyes.

Those were the eyes of a god! ===== CHAPTER 845 =====
