Chapter 827: Divine Sun
Blood-colored lightning intertwined like a net in the sky.
Xia Feng’s main body was also speeding through the Blood Thunder Heavenly Sea.
The Grace-Lost Domain activated during his battle with Uphiel could affect both his main body and his avatar.
Or, to be more precise, this power first affected his main body and then was shared with the avatar.
At this moment, he was enveloped in a purple-green flowing light, and each step he took tore through the thunderclouds, creating sonic boom rings. The journey that originally took a day was completed in less than two hours due to the amplification, and the unique fiery fluctuations of the Blazing Sun Divine Domain appeared at the edge of his vision.
It was a broken cliff face suspended in the clouds.
The thousands of feet wide cross-section was disturbingly neat, as if a god had split the entire continent in half with a giant sword. From the endless gray mist churning at the bottom of the cliff, a divine golden light, imbued with the Divine Fire of the Blazing Sun, pierced through the thirty-three layers of clouds, finally hitting the world barrier and exploding into layers of golden ripples.
Xia Feng quietly landed on the top of an ancient tree about three miles from the broken cliff. The moment the gnarled branches of the spiritual wood touched his feet, they carbonized into ash. Clearly, the terrifying high temperature circulating in the air here had already carbonized everything.
He didn’t get too close, only observing with his bronze Eye of Deconstruction. He could vaguely see seven black dots, each the size of a sesame seed, suspended on either side of the cliff in the clouds.
It seemed all seven of them had gathered here.
And within the pillar of light that reached the heavens, a spiritual paper emitting a magnificent golden radiance was suspended. The paper remained still amidst the turbulent energy, and countless ancient and profound characters were steaming from its surface.
These three-dimensional runes, constructed from pure spirit particles, swarmed like fish, flowing along the inner wall of the light pillar, forming a spirit particle structural diagram so intricate that it was dizzying.
It was spread throughout the entire pillar of light!
Those were the spirit particle structures within the spiritual paper.
Judging by the situation, the Blazing Sun Divine Domain had not yet been obtained by anyone.
Even stranger, these Sacred Realm experts were walking around the pillar of light peacefully, with no one stepping forward to snatch it.
It seemed they were all studying the spirit particle structures released by the spiritual paper.
Could there be some other danger here? Is that why none of them dared to act rashly?
Xia Feng’s heart was filled with doubt. His figure suddenly fluttered down like a falling leaf, landing lightly on the edge of the broken cliff, and he looked down.
Judging by the completeness of the cliff face on both sides, the cliff had only formed about two hours ago.
And with his eyesight, he could barely see the horizontal end of this cliff. Xia Feng had to suspect that the entire continent had been split in two.
As for the depth… Xia Feng leaned forward and plunged straight into the abyss below the mist, freefalling. In his rapid descent, his protective spirit pressure created blinding sparks by friction with the high temperature. The rock strata turned into blurry crimson streaks in his vision.
A terrifying heat wave of 5000℃ from the earth’s core struck him head-on, tearing at his defenses. He watched helplessly as carbonized patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, and finally, he stopped going deeper.
But it was enough.
The golden light that reached the heavens from outside was coming from the earth’s core.
That is to say, the Blazing Sun Divine Domain had been sealed within the earth’s core of the Sumeru Realm all along. But after someone broke the seal, it had directly rushed out of the earth’s core to the surface, splitting this continent in half.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng understood. The Black Moon Pope, who had been missing until now, was probably up to something like this.
However, it was a pity that the Pope’s plan to secretly obtain the Blazing Sun Divine Domain was simply impossible.
The anomaly caused by the appearance of an S-class Spirit Paper was too astonishing to conceal.
“But speaking of which, this should be some kind of seal, right?” Xia Feng hovered beside the golden light passage, looking at the light pillar emanating from the scorching earth’s core. He tentatively reached out, but before he could touch it, the tip of his longest middle finger instantly turned into paper-like black dust.
His soul also felt a sharp stinging pain, which startled Xia Feng and made him quickly retract his hand.
“Divine Sun Seal,” Yue Hongli materialized beside Xia Feng, her fox-like beautiful eyes filled with recollection. “Heng once told me that the so-called Divine Sun Seal is a self-destructive sealing technique that Gu Yi was skilled at. If someone tries to forcefully break the Divine Sun Seal, the object within the seal will be forcibly destroyed.”
“That powerful?” Xia Feng exclaimed, looking up along the light pillar towards the infinite sky, and asked with a puzzled expression, “But that’s an S-class Spirit Paper, can this level of spirit paper also be destroyed?”
“No, Master.”
Yue Hongli shook her head. “Even gods cannot completely destroy S-class Spirit Paper.”
“But it can destroy the existing S-class Spirit Paper. The moment it is destroyed, this S-class Spirit Paper will condense and be born again elsewhere.”
Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully. So that’s how it is.
No wonder those seven Sacred Realm experts dared not act rashly. After all, if they tried to forcibly break the seal and enter the light pillar to snatch the spiritual paper, it would greatly increase the chances of triggering the ‘Divine Sun Seal’ mechanism. At that time, the spiritual paper would be annihilated, and no one would be able to obtain it.
In this way, the Blazing Sun Divine Domain might eventually appear in the Real World, the Nightmare Realm, the Astral Realm, or even in various broken small worlds and planes.
Finding this item afterwards would be purely a matter of fate and opportunity.
Xia Feng looked up, his black eyes narrowed. Gu Yi specifically used the ‘Divine Sun Seal’ to restrict this spiritual paper, as if he didn’t want anyone to obtain it, but in reality, he still left an opportunity.
[Those who comprehend the ‘Yang Spirit Basic Matrix Structure’ within three months will obtain the Blazing Sun Divine Domain · S-class Spirit Paper.]
This was the information Xia Feng received when he brought his fingertip close to the light pillar earlier.
From the descriptions of Heng and Yue Hongli, it could be seen that Gu Yi was indeed a righteous god who truly cared about the prosperity of the empire and the human race.
Gu Yi considered that if he were to perish, the Sumeru Throne could quickly support a strong individual, at least at the True God level, for the human race.
The Divine Sun Domain set outside the Blazing Sun Divine Domain was similar, serving to select talented individuals from the human race.
It was estimated that according to Gu Yi’s intentions, both the Sumeru Throne and the Blazing Sun Divine Domain were legacies prepared for a god-tier genius who could succeed him.
For this reason, he set up a legacy mechanism that required comprehending the ‘Yang Spirit Basic Matrix Structure’ within three months.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Xia Feng; he couldn’t comprehend it at all.
Let alone three months, even three years would be in vain.
But those geniuses above might not be the same. Three months might be easy for god-tier geniuses like Jin Yangtian and Huang Zhaoyue.
The Black Moon Pope, who paid such a great price to retrace the Venerable path and enter the Sumeru Realm to contend for the Blazing Sun Divine Domain, had probably already prepared for any sudden situations. Three months would likely be a minor issue for him.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng fell into contemplation. Since these people basically had a chance to obtain the Blazing Sun Divine Domain, why not forcefully break the seal myself and actively trigger the mechanism, causing the Blazing Sun Divine Domain to disappear?
“Hmm, perhaps not.” The thought flashed by in an instant, and he shook his head again.
