The battle over the Central Star Core could be called the most brutal war in the entire Blazing Flame Nebula in dozens of eras.
Three Quasi-Giants had fallen or been trapped here in succession.
One of them had even been Black Two Heavenly Lord, a Quasi-Giant in the Late Stage of the Third Dimensional Step.
Quasi-Giants of that caliber had a genuine chance of condensing a Heart of Dao Fruit and removing the word "nominal" from before their status as direct descendants!
Unfortunately, although Black Two possessed extraordinary combat power and could suppress the entire star cloud, enough to make even the Lord of Ember Radiance feel crushing pressure,
the successive bloody battles had left him heavily wounded, allowing the Radiant Day Emperor to truly trap him!
Yet at the final moment, Black Two Heavenly Lord still sent out the Fate Altar under his command, one bearing a full three Destiny Marks.
Black Three Heavenly Lord, who controlled that Fate Altar, had also attempted several rescues to save Black Two Heavenly Lord, but ultimately to no avail.
After all, Heavenly Tribulation Shared Silence was a supreme secret art equivalent to the Radiant Day Emperor sacrificing everything he possessed in order to bring the Starry Sky Will onto the battlefield.
This was also the fundamental reason the Heaven Clan did not fear their secret arts being leaked.
Anyone who wished to use the Heaven Clan's secret arts against the Heaven Clan was simply seeking death.
The Heaven Clan stood backed by the vast Starry Sky Will.
Thus, unless a true Giant intervened and personally bore this karma,
there was no way to save Black Two Heavenly Lord unless he crippled his own cultivation and escaped with only a single soul fragment.
The Central Star Core battle had reached such a point
