"Sun God Fire!"
Li Qingxu's heart shook violently upon hearing the system's prompt.
The True Sun Fire was one of the Top Ten Exotic Fires of the Primordial Era, and it ranked among the highest.
This flame was a divine fire born from the fusion of Di Jun's Golden Crow Divine Fire and Xi He's Taiyin Origin, possessing the terrifying power to burn the heavens, boil the seas, and annihilate all things in the world.
He was currently lacking powerful divine abilities, and if he could comprehend the Sun God Fire, his own strength would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
At the same time, a new message from Xiao Yan popped up in the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.
[Xiao Yan: Senior, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire this junior has sacrificed to you is the eleventh-ranked exotic flame of the Dou Qi Continent. It was born in a place of extreme cold and extreme yin, capable of burning an enemy's soul and also refining pills. I wonder if Senior finds it pleasing?]
Xiao Yan's tone carried a hint of caution, worried that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire might not meet the senior's standards.
[Qingxu Daojun: It is indeed good. This one accepts your intent.]
Only after seeing this message did Xiao Yan let out a long sigh of relief.
[Xiao Yan: I'm glad Senior likes it. This junior's cultivation is limited for now, but once I improve in the future, I will surely seek out more precious treasures to offer to Senior, as a token of gratitude.]
[Ye Hei: Not bad, kid. You know how to handle things.]
In the Shading the Heavens World, after a bout of full-force refinement, Ye Hei finally completely digested the energy contained within the spring water, and his cultivation skyrocketed to the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform.
Previously, Wang Teng's younger brother Wang Chong had repeatedly provoked him in places like the Qishi Mansion of Central Continent and the Qinling Dragon Cave, relying on his elder brother's reputation, acting arrogantly and domineeringly.
Ye Hei wasn't Wang Chong's father, so naturally he didn't indulge him, directly striking out to kill him.
This act also angered Wang Teng, and the two became enemies. During their time at the Qinling Immortal Pond, Wang Teng had relied on his Second Heaven of Immortal Platform cultivation to try and kill him, but failed.
Both he and Wang Teng were famous figures across the entire Burial Emperor Star, so their conflict quickly drew the attention of countless people.
Wang Teng's father, Wang Chengkun, then stepped forward and declared loudly: "My son Wang Teng has the bearing of an Emperor. Even if Ye Hei is an Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, as long as Wang Teng attains the Dao and becomes Emperor first, Ye Hei can only bow beneath Wang Teng."
Wang Chengkun even wanted Wang Teng to kill Ye Hei, eliminating a future rival on the Emperor's Path while forging an Invincible Dao Heart.
Thus, upon hearing that Ye Hei had a close relationship with Ji Ziyue, he formally proposed marriage to the Ji Clan on behalf of the Wang family, intending to force Ye Hei out for a decisive battle with Wang Teng.
Previously, Ye Hei's cultivation had lagged far behind, and he had been quite wary of this.
Now that both were at the same realm, Ye Hei naturally had nothing to fear, and immediately decided to set out and cut down this so-called Northern Emperor, Wang Teng.
[Emperor Yongle: High Immortal, this junior has issued an edict to gather treasures from across the nation. Once I return to Beijing, I will immediately select a supreme treasure for the High Immortal, as a token of my sincerity.]
After obtaining the Divine Spring, Zhu Di did not enjoy it alone but instead blended it into the drinking water of the Great Ming soldiers.
After hundreds of thousands of Great Ming soldiers drank the water infused with the Divine Spring, not only were their injuries and illnesses completely cured, but they also became spirited and vigorous, their physiques collectively surging dozens of times stronger.
Only after coming into contact with the Myriad Worlds Chat Group did he deeply feel his own insignificance, and his horizons underwent earth-shattering changes.
What was Mobei? What was the Grassland?
He would lead the iron cavalry of Great Ming to conquer a vast territory, making Great Ming truly shine upon the sun and moon, enduring for all eternity.
And the first step would begin with annihilating the small nation of Japanese pirates that had long been harassing Great Ming in the east.
Of course, he did not forget to bring a few gourds of the water to his eldest son, Zhu Gaochi.
Once Zhu Gaochi drank this divine water, he would surely be reborn.
With Zhu Gaochi handling state affairs, he could then lead the army on campaigns without worry.
After chatting briefly with Ye Hei and the others, Li Qingxu decided to find a place to first refine the True Sun Fire.
After all, the journey to Kunlun Mountain was still hundreds of millions of miles, and he had no idea what dangers he might encounter along the way.
Moreover, if he mastered the True Sun Fire, his chances of being accepted as a disciple by a Saint would be greater.
Li Qingxu stepped on a White Cloud, shuttling through the high sky, while releasing his Spiritual Sense to sweep across the mountains and rivers below.
Soon, he found a natural cave.
Li Qingxu descended from the sky, landed inside the cave, and shrouded the Cave Mansion with divine power to prevent others from sensing the aura of the True Sun Fire.
As he sat down cross-legged, he took the True Sun Fire out from the system space.
"Boom!"
A blazing red flame appeared before him, as if alive, the fire constantly flickering, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.
If Li Qingxu had not already enveloped the entire cave with divine power, the cave—and even the entire mountain—would have instantly melted away.
"No wonder it's one of the Top Ten Exotic Fires of the Primordial Era, the Sun God Fire. Truly terrifying," Li Qingxu remarked in awe.
This kind of heaven-burning, sea-boiling power was far beyond the fire-type spiritual energy he had previously wielded; it was like comparing heaven and earth.
After his exclamation, Li Qingxu closed his eyes, gathered his mind, and began to fully refine the True Sun Fire.
While Li Qingxu was refining the True Sun Fire.
In the Shading the Heavens World, at the gates of the Ji Clan.
At this moment, the bright moon hung high in the sky, spilling down watery moonlight, draping the mountains, rivers, and all things in a layer of silver ripples.
Wang Teng sat upright on the Golden Ancient Chariot, his form robust and towering, surrounded by the Four Symbols Divine Beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—making him appear like a god descending to the mortal world.
As for Wang Chengkun and the other Wang Clan high-ranking members, they stood behind Wang Teng, ready to witness firsthand how he would slaughter Ye Hei, who possessed the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.
Ji Ziyue, on the Ji Clan's pavilion, propped her chin on her hands, gazing into the distance with longing in her eyes.
She both hoped Ye Hei would appear in time to reveal his feelings, yet feared he would fall into danger because of her.
After all, Ye Hei was currently only at Grand Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, while Wang Teng was a mighty cultivator at the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform.
Even if Ye Hei had the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, it couldn't make up for this gap in cultivation level.
Soon, Ye Hei, accompanied by Pang Bo, Duan De, and the Big Black Dog, flew in from afar, bathed in the bright moonlight.
The moment she saw Ye Hei appear, Ji Ziyue's eyes instantly lit up, shining even more brilliantly than the moon above.
"Ye Hei, you actually dared to show yourself before This Emperor!"
Wang Teng spoke, standing on his ancient war chariot, his voice like a great bell, exuding an overwhelming aura.
"Tch, you're merely at the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform, yet you dare to call yourself a Great Emperor in front of This Emperor."
"A toad with a feather duster stuck up its ass—what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be? Ptooey!"
Before Ye Hei could speak, Black Emperor couldn't stand Wang Teng's posturing and shot back directly.
"That's right, with a character like yours, you want to attain the Dao and become an emperor? You have no self-awareness at all—you can't even compare to a single leg hair of my brother."
Pang Bo grinned, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth.
"Hmph!"
Wang Teng's face instantly darkened, emitting a murderous aura as tangible as substance.
"Once This Emperor has slain him, I'll deal with you lot!"
Hearing this, Ye Hei's face broke into a meaningful smile:
"Oh? Are you really that confident you can defeat me?"
Wang Teng snorted coldly: "This Emperor is a mighty cultivator at the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform. Killing an ant like you at the Four Extremes Realm is as easy as turning over my hand!"
"Is that so?"
"But who said I'm at the Four Extremes Realm?"
