Chapter 479 Sun Dao
Bai Zihan waited for him to open it just as he had done with the sect's treasury.
However, the Azure Sun Ancestor didn't seem to have any intention of doing that.
"It is protected by our sect's ancestral formation. Only the Sect Leader possesses the core key. Without it-no one can open this gate."
He lowered his head slightly.
"In truth, even we four cannot force it open."
There was the faintest hint of hope in his voice.
Wen Haoyu had fled.
Without the key-
Perhaps this one treasure could be preserved.
If at least this was protected, he still had hope that Azure Sun Holy Sect could be revived.
After all, no treasure could amount to what this was, which was their true foundation.
This was also the reason why, despite knowing that once the experiment became known, they would be condemned and hunted down as if they were Demonic Cultivators, they still kidnapped and experimented.
He believed that the Sun Dao was the answer to invincibility, and once they succeeded, there would be no one they couldn't defeat in this world.
Bai Zihan glanced at them and it seemed like they were telling the truth. Well, even if they lied, he didn't care.
Bai Zihan stared at the massive formation.
"Grand Elder, break it!"
Bai Ren's lips curved upward immediately.
"It seems that is the only way."
He stepped forward, the Saint-Grade Sword resting casually on his shoulder.
He examined the formation with interest.
"Let's see how sturdy you are."
Slash!
A casual swing.
The sword light streaked forward like a crescent moon.
It struck the formation-
And dispersed.
The arrays rippled slightly.
Then it returned to normal.
Bai Ren blinked.
"Oh?"
He tilted his head slightly.
"Interesting!"
Even the Half-Qilin couldn't recover after being slashed by his sword. However, this formation barely seemed to have been affected.
Another slash.
This time stronger.
The blade light roared like a descending star.
Boom!
The underground chamber trembled violently.
Dust rained from the ceiling.
The formation flared brighter-
Not even a crack.
Seeing this, the Azure Sun Ancestor's eyes lit up.
They believed that in the end, even the strongest person in the Desolate Heaven Empire couldn't do anything to their Sect Ancestral Formation.
Bai Ren's eyes lit up.
He laughed softly.
"Good!"
His aura rose.
Bai Ren adjusted his grip.
"Let's see if you can endure this as well."
This time-
He did not hold back.
Qi gathered and his aura surged.
"Fate Severing Slash!"
A powerful attack so strong that it could even kill the Half-Qilin.
The four Immortals tried to cast their barrier, but with their Qi blocked, they
couldn't.
Bai Zihan, on the other hand, didn't even bother.
With Bai Ren's skill, there was no way that he could be hurt even by collateral
damage.
BANG!
Bai Ren's attack clashed with the formation in a fierce collision.
It lasted for a few seconds before Bai Ren stopped. The formation was still active and it seemed like Bai Ren had failed.
For a breath-
Nothing happened and Azure Sun Ancestors breathe in relief.
Then-
Crack!
A tiny fracture spread across one golden rune.
The Earth Immortal's face went white.
The fracture widened.
Like ice breaking beneath pressure.
The golden arrays flickered erratically.
Bai Ren's smile widened.
"Ah! There you are."
The formation shattered like glass.
The massive gate exploded inward as fragments of spiritual light rained across
the chamber.
Scorching heat burst outward like a tidal wave.
The four Immortals staggered back instinctively, their sealed meridians unable
to circulate Qi to resist the sudden pressure.
Bai Zihan stepped forward calmly.
Bai Ren walked beside him, sword still humming faintly.
The four Immortals soon followed behind.
They had no power to stop them-
But they wanted to see this through until the end.
Inside the chamber-
At the very center-
Suspended in midair-
Was the Sun Dao Fragment.
It was like a miniature sun.
A blazing sphere of golden radiance, rotating slowly, emitting waves of scorching heat that distorted the very space around it.
The air shimmered violently.
Even standing dozens of meters away felt like being inside a furnace.
Fortunately, there seemed to be a formation keeping the heat in check.
Otherwise, even a Void Formation Realm cultivator's spiritual Qi would
instantly boil.
Even most Great Ascension experts would struggle to remain here for more than a few seconds without activating full defensive techniques.
The heat radiating from it was overbearing.
Dominant.
Unyielding.
Like a true sun that refused to be approached.
The four Immortals' breathing grew heavy.
Sweat formed instantly on their foreheads.
Their skin reddened under the pressure.
Fortunately, although they couldn't use any defensive techniques to protect
themselves, their bodies were still those of Immortals.
Otherwise, they would have died.
Yet in the midst of that terrifying heat-
Bai Zihan stood there calmly.
His robes fluttered slightly under the waves of scorching force.
But his expression did not change in the slightest.
The blazing temperature that could melt high-grade artifacts-
Did not even cause his skin to redden.
This was because his body had long been refined into a Primordial Chaos Body
and had been tempered under extreme high temperatures for days.
As such, even standing before the Sun Dao, he didn't feel much different.
The Sun Dao's heat washed over him-
And dispersed.
Like sunlight falling upon a mountain peak.
Harmless.
"So this is where the Sun Dao Fragment is extracted."
Bai Zihan muttered in amusement.
Indeed, he could see why they needed to extract small pieces from it rather
than use it whole.
The power-
It was real.
He could tell that it was a supreme treasure unlike anything he had seen
before.
Perhaps even the Saint-Grade Sword in Bai Ren's hand might not be up to par
with it.
But of course, in terms of immediate value, the Sun Dao Fragment was just a
heater at the moment, while the Saint-Grade Sword was a usable artifact which could be used to dominate this Empire.
But if one could gain control over such a treasure as the Sun Dao Fragment,
perhaps the power gained might surpass that of possessing a Saint-Grade
Sword.
But obviously, he knew that it wouldn't be easy.
Even the Azure Sun Holy Sect had been conducting experiments for so many
years-and that too only on the small pieces extracted from this.
So, the success of one being able to control the Sun Dao was almost
impossible.
Still, that only shows just how powerful this supreme treasure was.
"I will take this!"
Bai Zihan declared.
He stepped forward to store the Sun Doa as well.
The Earth Immortal Ancestor immediately stepped forward despite the
scorching heat biting into his skin.
"Young Master Bai-please wait!"
His voice was strained, but urgent.
Bai Zihan's eyes shifted toward him.
The Earth Immortal swallowed. "The Sun Dao cannot be stored in a storage ring"
He bowed slightly, forcing himself to endure the pressure.
"If it is placed inside, the internal space will not withstand it. Everything inside
will be burned to ashes including the ring itself."
He continued.
"It is not an ordinary flame. It burns through space itself. Even spatial folds and
time-sealed compartments cannot suppress it." Bai Ren's brows lifted faintly.
The Earth Immortal hurried to add,
"We are not trying to deceive you! In the past, we attempted to store even a
fragment shard in a high-grade storage artifact."
"It lasted three breaths. Then the spatial pocket collapsed and everything
within was reduced to nothing"
If Bai Zihan were to place the Sun Dao Fragment into his storage ring and his treasures were destroyed, the blame would inevitably fall upon them.
Their warning was given to avoid misunderstanding and to demonstrate complete submission.
It was far better to warn him in advance and earn even the slightest goodwill
than risk further punishment later.
The Sun Dao continued to rotate slowly in midair.
Its radiance intensified subtly, as if responding to Bai Zihan's intent.
Golden light washed across the chamber walls, turning the black spiritual stone
red-hot.
Bai Zihan observed it calmly.
He did not doubt their warning.
He could already sense the instability within the surrounding space. Even the
air felt thinner, distorted and warped by the constant burning.
A normal storage ring-
Would indeed collapse.
"Seems troublesome."
Bai Zihan muttered. However, for such treasure, such a thing could barely be
called troublesome.
"It seems that you all can only carry it to my room."
Bai Zihan said to the four Immortals with a smile.
If it can't be stored then just have someone else carry them and fortunately
there were four such capable people standing before him.
"Huh?"
The four of them were confused and startled when Bai Zihan said those words
to them but then realized that Bai Zihan was serious.
They nervously looked at the Sun Dao.
It was something that could scorch everything that it touched. Even if it was
sealed in the Formation, would they be able to carry it?
The four of them look at Bai Zihan, thinking that perhaps he might change his
mind.
"I hope that you don't refuse for your own sake!"
