Those beasts lacking sufficient strength were doomed; their defensive measures were powerless to resist.

They could not escape the Great Sun's enveloping range; even some weak ferocious beasts were roasted into dry corpses while fleeing.

The Great Sun light transformed by Taiyi grew brighter and brighter, until even the people could no longer see the figure within the Great Sun.

Until it coincided with the projection of the true Sun Star, hanging high above the Nine Heavens.

A clear cry rang out from within the Great Sun, and the light of the Sun Star began to disappear from the skies above the surroundings of Cloud Dream Marsh.

Between heaven and earth, only this sun of Taiyi remained; at this moment, he was the sole light!

However, this light brought not warmth, but scorching heat.

Within the sun there was a three-legged shadow; as he waved his wings, a fierce solar gale arose.

Where the gale struck, all things withered, the earth cracked and dried, and the ferocious tide suffered heavy damage.

But that Golden Crow seemed dissatisfied, and began to spread its wings and fly high, circling the surroundings of Cloud Dream Marsh.

Leaving behind streaks of rainbow light.

"Is this the Golden Crow Rainbow Technique?"

Qi let out a sigh.

That rainbow light was dazzling to the extreme, as if it possessed all the colors of the world.

Wherever it passed again, the rainbow light dissipated, leaving only terrifying space rifts that could not heal for a long time.

The rainbow light scattered among the herd of ferocious beasts, staining their bodies.

Quietly, the ferocious beasts were burnt to ashes.

Not even a miserable cry could be uttered.

Because before the rainbow light transformed by the Golden Crow fell, that terrifying True Solar Fire had already burned everything in the air to ashes.

The so-called rainbow light is merely the manifestation of True Solar Fire condensed to the extreme.

As the Golden Crow circled, the ferocious beasts around Cloud Dream Marsh were nearly wiped out.

But likewise, that round of the Great Sun was no longer as dazzling as before, having grown much dimmer.

Finally, that round of the Great Sun was struck toward Chaos by the bearer of the Golden Crow.

Chaos's four wings flapped extremely fast, simultaneously emitting a sharp explosive sound.

It desperately tried to escape the pursuit of the Great Sun.

But in the end it was struck by the Great Sun!
