Four battered sword lights arrived late at the battlefield.
The Burial Heaven Sword Heir and the others held their breath and looked toward the place blazing with sunlight.
Divine heirs surrounded it, and golden-feathered divine generals stood guard. The region had become a solar divine domain of boundless heat and destruction. Here, the sun rose and ruled the endless starry sky.
The Solar God Heir!
In ancient times, the Sun God Lord's line had produced a Divine Emperor. Its inheritance was terrifyingly destructive.
The sun held too lofty a place in the endless starry sky. Weaker deities could not claim authority over this branch of laws. Before long, another deity of the solar path would usually devour them.
Divine wars among solar gods had always been known for their cruelty and death. They never spared those who surrendered. That was why the Sun God Lord had sought to establish the Solar God Court: to withstand challenges from other solar gods, then launch divine wars of his own and devour them.
Most of the divine heirs guarding the Solar God Heir were exceptionally powerful.
Six were seven-step divine heirs, while eleven stood below the seventh step. They bore mighty divine names such as Sacred Flame, Radiance, Dawn, and Dusk. Even after the Solar God Heir suffered a crushing defeat, wandered in exile, and spent tens of thousands of years recovering from his wounds, they had never abandoned him.
That alone showed the Solar God Heir's divine charisma.
No wonder the Solar God Heir had chosen to help the Soulflame Divine Heir, a wandering seven-step divine heir, despite the risk of drawing the attention of a human eighth-step sword cultivator.
And in the end, a human eighth-step sword cultivator had indeed come.
"Fellow Daoist, you said"
"that I came here to die?"
