Chapter 505: Sun

Cultivation World, North King Time Domain.

Following the beheading and annihilation of the Longevity Immeasurable Venerable and the Buddha avatar.

The Holy Domain arrivals in other regions all sensed this, and subsequently stopped their actions, turning instead to flee rapidly.

So much so that, apart from two other locations where Su Ping had dispatched the Taiyi Demon Emperor avatar and the Xuangui Baxia to entangle them, preventing their escape.

The invaders in all other regions fled and vanished, leaving behind only a scene of devastation.

Demon Alliance, the Dongtian world where the ancestral land of the True Dragon Clan is located.

Located in the True Dragon World of the Demon Realm.

It is the forbidden land among forbidden lands of the Demon Alliance; even during the most miserable of times, this Dongtian world hidden deep within the Demon Realm had never been affected.

Allowing generation after generation of dragon prodigies to grow up healthily.

However, on this day.

In the True Dragon World, first, a deafening sound that shook the entire Dongtian erupted from the Golden Dragon Cloud Sea high in the sky.

Immediately after, the cloud sea collapsed, crashing directly onto the earth and kicking up earth-shattering explosions and a mushroom cloud.

Following that, three Old Ancestor True Dragons who had lived for ten thousand years revealed their original forms, soared into the sky, and roared toward a certain spot in the high heavens.

They activated their respective family foundations, condensing dragon god bodies hundreds of kilometers in length.

This took countless dragon prodigies by surprise while also making them quite excited.

Just as they thought they would be able to see the Old Ancestors display their Dragon Might.

They discovered that the three dragon gods who had charged into the sky had all let out dragon cries at the same time, only to be struck down together.

Then, cracks appeared in the sky, and after it shattered instantly, a terrifying demon beast with nine dragon heads, six wings on its back, and three scorpion-shaped tails descended from the broken sky.

It radiated a strange and terrifying pressure, which instantly weighed upon the hearts of all the dragons.

Every dragon felt that under this pressure, their innate divine abilities seemed to have encountered a natural predator, suppressed by at least two-thirds of their power.

Some True Dragons of the dark and water lineages even collapsed onto the ground, screaming incessantly, as wisps of Blood Qi emerged from their bodies and voluntarily flowed into the body of the demon beast in the sky.

"This seat is the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang."

"You unfilial descendants, why do you not hurry and pay your respects!"

The Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang emitted a voice like thunder.

In an instant, it caused the dragons of this Dongtian world to lose more than half of their will to fight.

Even when a Dragon King rushed over to refute the opponent's words, shouting that this was an Evil Dragon and that this pressure and aura existed only because a true Ancestral Dragon had once had an important avatar devoured by it.

It had little effect.

In truth, for the dragon race, the Bloodline suppression was too terrifying.

Aside from the Dragon King and a few Demon Immortal-level True Dragons who could still put up a fight, the rest of the dragons had no courage to strike at the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang.

Consequently, the foundation the dragon race had accumulated for tens of thousands of years, and their numerical advantage, could not be brought to bear at all.

The Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang was in a position of absolute superiority, making it clear that it was merely toying with them when it first began to act.

After exchanging blows for a while, it had only dismantled the bodies of a few dragon Demon Immortals and eaten the head of one Dragon King.

Suddenly, the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang shuddered slightly, as if it had sensed something.

Its nine large heads opened their mouths in unison:

"Time is tight; I might as well destroy your world, then extract your Dragon Souls to educate slowly later."

As it spoke, the nine dragon mouths of the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang simultaneously spewed pitch-black Dragon Flame.

The moment these flames appeared, despair flashed in the eyes of the dragons who were still able to move.

They could feel that these flames could easily burn their dragon bodies and Dharma Power.

And instantly spread throughout the entire Dongtian world, burning everything to ashes.

The demon beast before them was clearly a high-ranking powerhouse specifically designed to counter their dragon race.

It was evident that the faction to which the opponent belonged had likely planned how to deal with them, the dragon race, a long time ago.

And in fact, this was the case; the racial talent of the True Dragon Clan was simply too good.

Those Dragon Kings might just rely on a stroke of luck to break through their own shackles and become Ten-Tier dragon gods.

And then, with the right time, place, and people, there would be a high probability of stepping into the eleventh tier as an Ancestral Dragon.

Such talent was something the Holy Domain also feared.

Yet, it was also because of this talent that the sages were reluctant to truly exterminate the dragon race.

There were not a few sages who, after their cultivation hit a bottleneck, began to spend time forging themselves into dragon-like beings.

But they could not ignore them either, so the Holy Domain had conducted targeted research on the dragon races in various Time Domains from the very beginning.

And left hidden seeds in their cultivation techniques and even their bloodline inheritance, in preparation for a rainy day.

Furthermore, regarding the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang, those Dragon Kings were only half right.

The Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang did not just eat one avatar.

What it had devoured were two complete Ancestral Dragons!

Those two Ancestral Dragons had thought their cultivation had succeeded, allowing them to ascend to the True Dragon Upper Realm.

As a result, they were received into the Holy Domain and immediately became a meal on the plates of the sages.

And the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang was able to completely devour the two Ancestral Dragons because it needed to be specialized for attacking the dragon race.

Just as the dragons were in despair.

The next instant!

Accompanied by a Dragon King biting down on a Wooden Talisman in its teeth to send a distress signal.

A Daoist wearing white robes, with a slender figure but an Evil Qi-filled and domineering air, suddenly appeared in the sky.

Upon appearing, the Nine Suns in the Sky phenomenon manifested behind him, instantly reducing the pressure of the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Mingwang by more than half.

And grabbed it with one claw.

In an instant, he grabbed all the flames spewed by the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King into his hand.

The pitch-black flames were condensed into a small ball.

This small ball was still struggling and shaking at first.

As the True Fire of the Sun emerged from the hand of Taiyi the Demon Emperor.

In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black small ball was burned to ashes.

Or more accurately, it directly turned into nothingness.

Taiyi the Demon Emperor's realm was still at Ten-Tier.

But... it could not be stopped after the warp drive technology was unlocked.

Taiyi the Demon Emperor also followed Human Civilization to gain great opportunities and great development!

The stars of the entire Galaxy were his to take as he pleased.

Especially those ancient stars near the galactic center; the more violent they were, the greater the boost they could provide to Taiyi the Demon Emperor.

With the help of a million stars, Taiyi the Demon Emperor's True Fire of the Sun could resist enemies across realms.

With the help of ten million stars, Taiyi the Demon Emperor already dared to face a thousand experts of the same realm with a single fire.

And the current Taiyi the Demon Emperor has obtained the help of as many as 13.5 million stars.

Absolute quantity produced absolute quality.

Taiyi the Demon Emperor's True Fire of the Sun can now definitely be considered a supreme technique comparable to the Dark Catastrophe level.

Moreover, the reserves of this supreme technique are not small at all, enough for Taiyi the Demon Emperor to complete a great battle and return for resupply.

"Ancient Golden Crow!"

Seeing Taiyi the Demon Emperor make a move, the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King was surprised, and immediately recognized the opponent's true form.

Yet upon seeing it, he became even more terrified.

The Ancient Golden Crow, a Demon Clan that truly stood at the pinnacle of heaven and earth.

It is rumored that the most ancient Demon Emperor was born from the Golden Crow clan.

It's just that with the great changes in heaven and earth, under the great catastrophe, the Ancient Golden Crow clan should have been wiped out long ago!

The only remaining Golden Crow-related things are just some mixed-blood Golden Crows with unknown amounts of impure blood and some relics.

Where did this Golden Crow Demon Emperor before him run out from?

And the depth of his foundation... far exceeds the descriptions recorded in the Holy Domain!

How could he, who looks like he is only at Ten-Tier, have True Fire of the Sun that transcends two major realms!

If this is a racial innate ability, that would be too much of a cheat! It shouldn't be possible for it not to be written in the records!

After seeing the true form of Taiyi the Demon Emperor, the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King already had thoughts of retreating.

Just at this very moment, news also came from the Holy Domain informing them that the plan had changed, permitting them to retreat to reduce losses.

The Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King also had no demeanor of a master; as his six wings flapped simultaneously, ripples in the surrounding space emerged.

In the blink of an eye, the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King was about to teleport away from this Dongtian world.

Yet he heard Taiyi the Demon Emperor lift his head to look at the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King and lightly scolded:

"Since you've come!"

"Then stay!"

Under the scolding, firelight emerged from Taiyi the Demon Emperor's body, and streaks of True Fire of the Sun suddenly appeared around the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King, burning up.

Under the firelight, the turbulent space suddenly stabilized.

This also caused the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King's escape technique to lose its effect.

Realizing that it was impossible to retreat without injury.

The Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King also stirred up the ferocity within his body.

His nine dragon heads simultaneously let out nine different dragon roars.

Following that, his body size expanded a hundredfold, and then his tail, wings, and big mouths all attacked Taiyi the Demon Emperor together.

Taiyi the Demon Emperor did not use his true form to engage him in battle.

After all, the gap in realms was too large; to truly do so would be a path to death.

Not using his true physical body, Taiyi the Demon Emperor instead used a massive amount of True Fire of the Sun.

From his mouth, ears, and nose, he spewed out a large amount of flames that formed a huge sun that looked like it existed in reality.

And he pushed this sun to meet the attack directly.

After letting the Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King's nine mouths all spew out beautiful language.

His entire body was hit by the sun, and then he was carried backward by the sun.

When Su Ping's Avatar arrived to provide support, Taiyi the Demon Emperor was already in an absolute dominant position.

The Black Water Ancestral Dragon Wisdom King was trapped deep within the sun, currently resisting the scorching of the True Fire of the Sun with all his might.

One roar of unwillingness after another was being emitted from his body.

Yet it could not penetrate the sun that wrapped around him.

Even the final harassment was powerless.

Su Ping's Avatar blinked, and after saying "not bad,"

He used the Teleportation Talisman, left this Dongtian world, and went to where Xuangui Baxia was.

He also ignored the humble requests of those Dragon Kings at this very moment.

Compared to Taiyi the Demon Emperor.

The place where Xuangui Baxia was located was on the edge of the North King Time Domain, an Ancient Relic involving the Dark Catastrophe.

A messenger of the Dark Catastrophe, a strange entity, was sealed here.

This strange entity is a less common one within the Dark Catastrophe.

The disaster it causes is silent and soundless at first, and ordinary people, or even average Cultivators, would not even notice it.

Until one day, the last remaining Cultivator suddenly discovers that the world he is in—

Every living creature, including even those animals, except for him,

has already died unknowingly, all having become empty shells.

Everything before this was merely them acting out a play to accompany him.

And as the last survivor discovers the truth, the play ends.

That world will also reach the moment of collapse, and the entire world will be completely integrated into the body of the Dark Catastrophe strange entity, disappearing from the main world.

The strange messenger sealed this time—

tens of thousands of years ago, silently caused tens of thousands of large and small worlds in the North King Time Domain to disappear.

After being discovered, it suffered a crusade led by the Emperor of that time.

In the end, the opponent was sealed, but it also caused the North King Time Domain Emperor of that time to suffer heavy damage, and he disappeared without a trace shortly thereafter.

However, as soon as Xuangui Baxia appeared, he saw the fate of that Emperor.

Just like that Qilin Dijun, he had been turned into a sealed object, right here in this Ancient Relic.

It is just that because of the operations of the people sent by the Holy Domain,

this sealed object has already been destroyed.

That strange messenger, looking like a one-eyed evil god composed of cyan halos, has already been released.

The Holy Domain black-clad squad that released the strange messenger intended to withdraw after completing their mission.

But they did not expect that at this moment, Xuangui Baxia would appear and directly solidify the surrounding space.

Afterwards, he summoned two other Xuangui avatars and began beating up the little ones.

Those black-clad men basically had no power to resist when facing Xuangui Baxia.

After a few breaths, they were all swallowed into the body of Xuangui Baxia.

On the contrary, the strange messenger was extremely fast and difficult for Xuangui Baxia to lock onto.

Although its means of attack could not harm Xuangui Baxia, it still made Xuangui Baxia quite irritable.

After Su Ping's Avatar arrived to provide support, he saw this scene, thought for a moment, and threw out an Exorcism Talisman.

The Talisman, imbued with Emperor's blood, exploded in the Void.

Under the sweep of the Exorcism Divine Light, the figure of the strange messenger paused in the Void.

Although it only made it pause for that one instant,

for Xuangui Baxia, it was already enough.

The long-annoyed Xuangui Baxia unleashed the Devour Heaven and Earth divine ability, and with his big mouth opening and closing,

he swallowed it along with the airspace surrounding the strange messenger into his belly.

Within the internal world of Xuangui Baxia,

there were naturally plenty of ways to digest that strange messenger.

This time, the strange messenger felt a genuine crisis of being worn down and then disappearing.

It could not help but start calling for help.

Then, something that made Su Ping's Avatar slightly surprised happened.

The strange entities within the Dark Catastrophe actually responded to the messenger's call and began trying to descend into this world.

Su Ping did not want the North King Time Domain to face the impact of a Dark Catastrophe again before being prepared.

If the North King Time Domain were truly impacted and ruined, that would not align with what Su Ping wanted.

Thus, Su Ping directly took Xuangui Baxia and returned to the Pot Heaven.

Entering the Pot Heaven, the Dark Catastrophe strange entity that was about to enter the North King Time Domain lost its coordinate guidance.

It fell into silence.

And at this time, if an existence appeared in high-dimensional space to look down,

one could see a large mass of black fog representing the Dark Catastrophe strange entity, which had already wrapped around two-thirds of the edge of the North King Time Domain, that glowing flat cake.

It was just waiting to receive a signal again.

This black fog would then desperately surge in and fill the entire North King Time Domain.

Having experienced this great catastrophe, the panic-stricken people of the North King Time Domain gathered in the Heavenly Court, clustering under the command of the Emperor.

However... even the Emperor, facing the current situation, had a muddled brain and did not know how to proceed.

Their decision after discussion was left with only seeking help from the Salvation Lineage.

They were even willing to give up the position of Emperor for this.

To let the North King Time Domain also become an affiliated force of that Salvation Lineage!

There was no other way; without a top-tier Great Ability whose cultivation surpassed the Emperor to help,

their North King Time Domain... would likely have no tomorrow from this point on!
