The next instant, the Golden Crow was pierced through.
The life force within him began to fade rapidly.
Before long, he turned into specks of light and vanished.
Even the Golden Crow's corpse disappeared completely.
No one knew where it had gone.
But Hou Yi, the one who had fired the arrow, knew exactly what had happened.
The dead Golden Crow's body hadn't simply vanished.
Instead, it had turned into solar energy and entered the bodies of the other Golden Crows.
In other words, unless all ten suns were shot down, the last one left would contain the combined power of the other nine.
Hou Yi let out a slow breath and didn't hesitate any longer.
He fired arrow after arrow. In the blink of an eye, the remaining eight Golden Crows had turned into energy and surged toward the last one.
As it happened, that was Eastern Emperor Taiyi's tenth son.
Having gained the strength of his nine older brothers, the last Golden Crow's power swelled dramatically.
It transformed into even greater power, shining down upon the earth.
At the same time, he felt immense pressure coming from one direction.
Naturally, it was the bow and arrows in Hou Yi's hands.
But he was no longer as weak as he had been at the start.
On the contrary, he now possessed tremendous power.
Sensing danger, the power within him surged.
A pale golden flame formed around him, enveloping his entire body.
Hou Yi's golden arrow shot forth, but as soon as it touched the flames, it began to burn!
Even Hou Yi hadn't expected the Golden Crow's fire to be so powerful.
No, it had now transformed into Sun Fire.
It was even fiercer than the Golden Crow's flames.
That was what allowed it to stop the arrow he had shot.
The last remaining Golden Crow had practically become a sun.
Though his true form was still that of a Golden Crow, he had undergone a fundamental change.
He didn't give Hou Yi another chance. Wrapped in raging Sun Fire, he fled toward the Heavenly Court.
Before Hou Yi could react, he fired a second arrow.
But it had already gone off course.
It became a streak of light and vanished into the distance.
No one knew where it would land.
In any case, Hou Yi no longer had the ability to call it back.
"Don't let him get away!"
That was all Hou Yi could do: shout with all his might.
At once, all the Great Witches of the Witch Race understood. They rushed off toward the distance.
Leading the charge was Kuafu, by far the fastest among them.
He gathered all his power into his legs.
Like a breeze, he was gone in an instant.
Seeing this, the other Great Witches of the Witch Race stopped.
They weren't fast enough. Chasing after the Golden Crow would be pointless.
Hou Yi's gaze remained fixed on the arrow in midair, burning in the Sun Fire.
Even he didn't dare touch power of that level again.
It was Sun Fire. Unless someone had reached the Sage level, anyone who came near it would be burned to ashes.
Qin Feng, who had just left, stared wide-eyed at the scene.
His heart churned, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Only now did he finally understand where the stories of Hou Yi shooting down the suns and Kuafu chasing the sun had come from.
They had really happened!
And yet, they seemed a little different from the versions he'd heard.
Either way, Qin Feng had witnessed this moment in the history of the Primordial World.
He couldn't help feeling proud.
After witnessing this historic moment, Qin Feng didn't stay any longer.
The scattered flames had now completely merged.
There was still a sun burning fiercely in the sky.
After watching it for only a little while, Qin Feng already felt parched, and the blood in his body was boiling.
If he stayed any longer, he might well die right there.
After all, his cultivation was too low. He was only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
If Qin Feng had reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level, things wouldn't have been so bad.
Meanwhile, Kuafu poured immense power into his legs.
He kept chasing after the sun.
The last Golden Crow was Lu Ya, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's tenth son. Since he was still young, he was panicking.
Although the Sun Fire now contained the combined power of his nine older brothers, he could only release heat by instinct. He couldn't control it at all.
But with such tremendous power, his speed was naturally incredible.
Under these circumstances, he was actually able to keep pace with Kuafu, who was giving it everything he had.
They raced one after the other. Neither could get the better of the other, but Kuafu couldn't catch up with the sun.
Instead, the flames kept scorching him, and the blood in his body continued to evaporate.
After chasing for a while longer, Kuafu realized he couldn't catch the sun.
With no choice, he gave up.
His face was deathly pale.
After that chase and exposure to such intense flames, two-thirds of the blood in his body had already dried up.
If he continued, his life would be in danger.
He was now badly weakened. In a fight, he might not even be as strong as an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Without a long period of recovery, he probably wouldn't regain his strength.
After leaving, Lu Ya, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's tenth son, immediately flew toward the Heavenly Court.
The temperature continued to rise as he went.
Far away in the Heavenly Court, Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt only that his bloodline was stirring. He had no idea what was happening.
It wasn't until Lu Ya had transformed into a sun and slowly approached the Heavenly Court that Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the other powerful figures finally changed expressions.
It was too hot. Even with their cultivation, they could barely endure it.
As with Kuafu, the blood in their bodies was evaporating. If they didn't do something, they would soon become dried corpses.
If even they couldn't withstand this, who could be responsible?
Only when the group of powerful figures reached the gates of the Southern Heavenly Gate did they discover the source.
What had arrived was a mass of raging flames. Within it, Eastern Emperor Taiyi faintly sensed a power he recognized.
"Father."
At the familiar voice, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes widened.
The ball of fire before him was his youngest son, Lu Ya!
Then Eastern Emperor Taiyi slapped his forehead, remembering something.
He usually kept his ten sons in line and never let them go out together.
Now, he scanned the Heavenly Court with his power.
Apart from Lu Ya, who had just returned, the aura of all his other sons had vanished completely.
