Chapter 720: Sun Command, Sun True Fire (Second update, requesting everything)

This was a semi-circular treasure; its front was engraved with a scorching sun, while the back bore two complex ancient characters.

Aside from the color and properties, this treasure was cast from the exact same mold as the Taiyin Token.

Li Zhangsheng recognized these two ancient characters; their meaning was "Sun."

Sun Command!

Li Zhangsheng's heart raced; he had never expected that the Sun Command he had searched for in vain would actually be in the hands of Dou Zhangsheng.

The Sun Command and Taiyin Token are a set of combined World Wonders; when joined together, they become the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel, which is also the Dao-Achieving Item of the Underworld King.

Both the Sun Command and the Taiyin Token have reached the rank of Intermediate World Wonder; if combined, their power is comparable to a High-level World Wonder.

Among the thousands of World Wonders, there are fewer than a hundred High-level World Wonders; because they are so rare and powerful, High-level World Wonders are also known as Purple Mansion Rare Treasures.

In terms of value, ten Low-level World Wonders might not even compare to a single Purple Mansion Rare Treasure, which shows the value of the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel.

Of course, the Low-level World Wonders referred to here are those of a more common variety.

If one only possesses the Sun Command or the Taiyin Token, the value is naturally greatly diminished.

The Sun Command and Taiyin Token have similar functions, but there are certain differences between the two; the Sun Command emphasizes offense over defense, while the Taiyin Token emphasizes defense over offense. Only when the two are combined into the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel can one achieve a balance between offense and defense.

Additionally, while both can draw in Emperor Flowing Plasma once every year, the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel can cover a range of a thousand meters, and the effect of the Emperor Flowing Plasma is greatly increased.

If one only has a single Sun Command or Taiyin Token, the range for drawing in Emperor Flowing Plasma is reduced to a hundred meters, and the effect is likewise inferior to the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel.

It was for this reason that Li Zhangsheng had always kept the Sun Command in mind and had been secretly inquiring about it, only to gain nothing; yet today, he had seen it with his own eyes.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng even had the thought of seizing the Sun Command. However, as soon as this thought appeared, he snuffed it out.

Unless one possesses a treasure capable of snatching items, the only way to seize the Sun Command is to kill or capture Dou Zhangsheng; there is no other way to think about it.

Li Zhangsheng did not have such a treasure; although the Five-Colored Divine Light also has the peculiar ability to collect people and objects, limited by his cultivation realm, the power he currently exerts with the Five-Colored Divine Light does not even reach one percent of its potential.

If it were an adult Five-Colored Peacock, it could indeed use the Five-Colored Divine Light to forcibly snatch the Sun Command.

As for killing Dou Zhangsheng, not to mention the massive consequences of killing him, just based on Dou Zhangsheng's strength, it is debatable whether Li Zhangsheng could even defeat him, let alone kill him.

Capturing him is even less worth mentioning; the difficulty of capturing is greater than killing, and given Li Zhangsheng's personality of cutting weeds and eliminating roots, he would never have the thought of letting a tiger return to the mountains.

Several miles away, Dou Zhangsheng instantly activated the Sun Command.

The Sun Command hung high, shining brilliantly, as if it had transformed into a scorching sun, emitting endless light and heat.

In an instant, a golden pillar of fire shot out from the Sun Command.

When the golden pillar of fire appeared, ripples spread through the surrounding space, clearly indicating that the golden pillar of fire possessed terrifying destructive power.

The flames composing the golden pillar of fire were naturally not ordinary fire, but the Sun True Fire, which has always been known for its tyranny; it is a flame on par with the South Bright Separation Fire and the Zhurong True Fire.

The golden pillar of fire came aggressively, and Li Zhangsheng even had the feeling of being locked onto; his heart sank slightly, but this did not mean he had no way to deal with it.

The Five-Colored Divine Light shone brilliantly once again; this time, led by the red tail feather, it swept toward the incoming golden pillar of fire.

The golden pillar of fire lasted for a breath of time before being swept away by the Five-Colored Divine Light and suppressed within the red tail feather.

It was fortunate that Li Zhangsheng had already collected the space ring and Monster Pet Bag of that old man; otherwise, given the tyranny of the Sun True Fire, even if the melting point of the space ring and Monster Pet Bag were high, they would usually only end up melting.

The red tail feather has a capacity limit; with Li Zhangsheng's current strength, it can hold at most three instances of Sun True Fire of this scale.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng could also actively release the Sun True Fire.

In the interval while Li Zhangsheng used the Five-Colored Divine Light to sweep away the golden pillar of fire, the Dark Undying Golden Peng King took the opportunity to close the distance; Dou Zhangsheng believed that after a few more times, it would likely be able to enter the attack range of his Demon Beasts.

However, every time Dou Zhangsheng manipulated the Sun Command to release Sun True Fire, it placed a great burden on him; he could only release it once every short period while recovering his Mental Power.

Dou Zhangsheng did not know much about the abilities of the Five-Colored Peacock and naturally did not know that the Five-Colored Peacock could also release the suppressed Sun True Fire; otherwise, why would he do this futile work?

By the time Li Zhangsheng was less than twenty miles from the Silent Forest, Dou Zhangsheng had released the Sun True Fire twice more; the distance between Li Zhangsheng and the Dark Undying Golden Peng King was reduced to just over eight hundred meters.

Dou Zhangsheng had already summoned three relatively small Demon Beasts in advance; as soon as the distance closed a bit more, they would launch an attack.

Li Zhangsheng deliberately slowed down a little, causing the Dark Undying Golden Peng King to close the distance further.

Just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng's five tail feathers of different colors bloomed with light again, among which the fire-red tail feather was the brightest, faintly tinged with gold.

The next moment, a large amount of Sun True Fire surged out from the fire-red tail feather, turning into a torrent of flames and rushing toward the relentless pursuers.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng also used the explosive power of releasing the Sun True Fire to temporarily increase his speed by a large margin, transforming into a streak of five-colored light and charging into the Silent Forest in the blink of an eye.

On the other side, when Li Zhangsheng released a large amount of Sun True Fire, Dou Zhangsheng was caught off guard, but his reaction was extremely fast, and he hurriedly organized his Demon Beasts to defend.

In an instant, the Dark Undying Golden Peng King released countless wind blades a zhang long; the momentum of the Sun True Fire suddenly stalled, and then these wind blades exploded wildly, turning into gusts of wind that blew away part of the Sun True Fire.

The remaining three Demon Beasts each condensed energy barriers, easily blocking the remaining Sun True Fire completely.

But with things having come to this, how could Dou Zhangsheng still find the trail of the Five-Colored Peacock? Looking at the vast, boundless sea of trees before him, he could only let out a helpless sigh.

However, Dou Zhangsheng would not give up; after all, this was an underage Five-Colored Peacock, which could only be described as priceless.

Since the Five-Colored Peacock had fled to the Silent Forest, it might be related to the loose organization known as the Silent Forest.

Given that he could not confront the Silent Forest alone, Dou Zhangsheng could only decide to report this news to his ancestor, the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong.

As for what the ancestor would do, that was not really Dou Zhangsheng's business; however, as long as the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong captured the underage Five-Colored Peacock, he, Dou Zhangsheng, would at least be able to get a taste of the spoils, right?
