Six-Pattern Light Conduction
The Flame Pattern were blindingly bright.
After the first ray of sunlight entered the Sun Wheel Blade, it didn't stop in the Sun Pattern but surged directly towards the adjacent Flame Pattern. Crimson gold flames erupted outwards along the blade, and as soon as Yuan Yu's right hand touched the hilt, a red mark was burned onto his palm.
Dugu Bo stood at the edge of the Crystal Wall: "Would you like me to help you cool down?"
"The Divine Trial instructed me to use my six elements."
"Then take your time baking it."
Dugu Bo was rude, but he didn't leave. He released the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and cleared a circle of land around the edge of the forest to prevent Soul Beast from being attracted by the light aura and rushing onto the Dawn Platform.
Yuan Yu closed his eyes again.
The question was very clear.
Flame Pattern can generate light and heat, but they are still just fire elements. They can be used in conjunction with Sun Pattern, but they cannot replace the Light Origin. Continuing to keep Flame Pattern runes at the forefront will only cause the Sun Wheel Blade to burn and become unstable.
He moved the Flame Pattern back a bit.
The Rock Pattern first sank into the Dawn Platform.
Gravity extended from his legs to the Crystal Wall, connecting Yuan Yu and the Stone Platform. Wind Pattern then rose, slowly rotating along the natural patterns on the Crystal Wall, gathering the scattered sunlight towards the blade.
The light intensified once more.
Yuan Yu didn't rush to let the Sun Pattern absorb it. The Water Pattern formed a layer of clear water that circulated along his arm and the back of his blade, carrying the excessive heat to the edge of the Stone Platform. The Thunder Pattern was hidden beneath the water flow, lighting up every few breaths to stimulate the Sun Pattern and keep it active.
The Rosy Cloud Pattern remained on the outermost layer.
A light mist rose overhead, refracting the overly concentrated golden light into six beams, which fell onto six bright spots. The Flame Pattern caught only the gentlest beam, maintaining a stable temperature for the entire loop.
Each of the six elements has its place.
The flames on the Sun Wheel Blade gradually subsided.
Yuan Yu did not immediately increase the absorption rate.
He first allowed this circle of power to circulate through his meridians three times. In the first circle, the Flame Pattern would still steal some of the sunlight; in the second circle, the Thunder Pattern and Water Pattern clashed; and in the third circle, the six elements barely managed to remain stable.
The Sun Pattern resembles an empty lamp.
Each time the Light Origin approaches, a sliver of light illuminates the lamp. If any of the six patterns becomes disordered, the golden light will leak out from the edge.
Yuan Yu slowed his breathing, his fingers remaining resting on the hilt of the sword. Each time the Rock Pattern was subjected to a wave of heat, his finger bones would go numb. The faster the Water Pattern ripples circulated, the greater the consumption of his Soul Power. The Divine Trial had only just begun, and there was no way to conserve his energy.
The first fine golden line appeared from the tip of the blade, slowly moving downwards along the edge. It cooled as it passed through the Water Pattern, brightened as it passed through the Thunder Pattern, and was split into finer streams of light as it passed through the Wind Pattern, finally merging into the Sun Pattern from the Mist.
The Sun Pattern brightened slightly.
It did not go out.
Yuan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The sunlight on the Dawn Platform grew stronger and stronger. Every moment after sunrise, the Crystal Wall sent more and more light onto the Stone Platform. Half an hour later, the stone surface around Yuan Yu was already red-hot, and the clear stream formed by the Water Pattern began to emit white steam.
A two-thousand- Golden Feather Eagle flew in from afar.
As soon as it entered the area above the Crystal Wall, its feathers were dyed gold by the intense light. The Golden Feather Eagle let out a sharp cry, folded its wings, and flew straight towards the Dawn Platform.
Dugu Bo raised his hand and flicked out a wisp of emerald green Soul Power.
The Soul Power didn't touch the Golden Feather Eagle; it only exploded in front of it. The pungent smell caused it to abruptly change direction and fly away, skimming along the forest floor.
"Concentrate," Dugu Bo said. "I'm outside."
Yuan Yu did not respond.
Several more roars of beasts echoed from the woods.
After the radiant aura of the Dawn Platform spread outwards, the nearby Soul Beast began to stir. Dugu Bo released the pressure of Titled Douluo, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor coiled beneath the Crystal Wall, finally stopping those auras a few hundred meters away.
Ling Yuan and Azure Luan were also moving in the shadows.
As soon as a ten-thousand-year-old Spotted Light Leopard had circled around from the north stepped into the forest, Azure Flow sent it back the way it came. Several fire-attribute Soul Beast from the south smelled the aura of the Flame Pattern, and crimson Fire Feather landed in front of them, immediately creating a scorching line on the ground.
There was no easy place, either inside or outside the Dawn Platform.
After an incense stick had burned, Yuan Yu's left hand began to tremble.
He bit open the Recovery Potion with his teeth and drank only half of it. The medicine entered his stomach, first replenishing the Soul Power consumed by the Water Pattern and Wind Pattern, and he saved the other half for use before noon.
Dugu Bo saw his actions but remained silent. The Divine Trial could not be taken by someone else; medicine and prior preparation were inherently part of Soul Master's strength.
The Six-Pattern Inner Wheel was already at its fastest speed. Each beam of light had to pass through six elements for processing; if any part was missed, the Sun Pattern would vibrate violently. Soul Power was consumed much faster than the battle itself, and after only an hour, his forehead was already covered in sweat.
As the sunlight rose into the sky, dozens of bright spots suddenly appeared in the Crystal Wall.
These bright spots fell along different patterns, varying in speed and intensity. Just as the first batch of Mist parted, the second batch collided with the Wind Pattern. Yuan Yu lowered his wrist, and the Water Pattern immediately filled in, temporarily enveloping the overheated light stream.
The Thunder Pattern was pushed to the outside.
The brightness of the Sun Pattern decreases accordingly.
Yuan Yu raised the Sun Wheel Blade, its tip tracing a semicircle in front of him. Rock Pattern lifted from the ground, and six short pillars rose from the Stone Platform, each blocking a beam of light. The wind flowed around the pillars, sending the light back into the Mist.
Thunder Pattern took the opportunity to return to the inner wheel.
The Sun Pattern has stabilized.
Dugu Bo looked at the six red-hot stone pillars, his expression gradually becoming serious.
The Divine Trial did not grant Yuan Yu any more power, but only suppressed the increasingly intense sunlight. How to allocate the six elements and how to maintain the inner chakra in the high temperature were all up to him to decide.
Yuan Yu's Water Pattern were nearing their limit.
As the clear stream flowed around the blade, it continuously turned into steam, scalding the skin on his arm until it turned red. He directed some of the airflow to the outside of the Water Pattern, allowing the steam to rise along the disc and then refract back through the Rosy Cloud Pattern onto the Crystal Wall.
This change reduced the consumption of water elements, but caused a sharp increase in Wind Pattern pressure.
He could only separate half of the Rock Pattern to fix the surrounding airflow. The six stone pillars then tilted inward, forming a natural wind tunnel.
The sunlight slowed down slightly as it passed through the wind tunnel.
This point is just enough for Thunder Pattern to reclaim his position.
By noon, the Crystal Wall had turned completely golden.
Yuan Yu's figure was no longer visible on the Dawn Platform; only a ball of intense light, several feet in diameter, remained. The leaves of nearby trees drooped low, and the damp soil was baked dry and cracked.
The Sun Wheel Blade emitted a long, resounding cry.
The Six-Pattern Inner Wheel emerged from the depths of the blade, and the Nine-Slot Round Wheel appeared clearly to the outside world for the first time. The wheel was attached to the back of the blade, and the six bright grooves rotated continuously, while the Sun Pattern at the top was gradually filled with the Light Origin.
The blade began to become unstable.
First, the tip of the blade scattered into watery light, then the blade transformed into wind and thunder. Rock dust, Fire Star, and Mist surged outward from the hilt, continuously rotating around the Nine-Slot Round Wheel.
Yuan Yu reached out to grasp it, but his palm passed right through the Elemental Light Streams.
The Sun Wheel Blade are dispersing.
The Nine-Slot Round Wheel was pushed outwards by the midday sun, getting further and further away from the blade.
If the two are completely separated, the six elements, having lost their central axis, will simultaneously erupt on the Dawn Platform.
Nine Spirit Rings rose one after another beneath Dugu Bo's feet.
He was prepared to forcefully rescue the person.
