Zhang Yuan followed Ye Xiangning's gaze and looked outside.
Up in the sky.
Immortal Lord Duo Ning the Usurper's blood-red hand of immortal essence appeared once more, reaching out from the great void. This time, however, it held something: a bright red sphere.
The blood-red hand aimed the sphere at the center of the Buddha Kingdom and dropped it inside.
The red sphere fell straight down, growing larger and larger, until the Celestial Persons within the Buddha Kingdom finally saw what it was.
It was a sun.
But it was not the sun overhead that illuminated the Five Realms Heavens. Rather, Immortal Lord Duo Ning the Usurper and True Lord Rainbow-Haloed Rosy Clouds had forcibly seized it from a large Grotto-Heaven within the Shared-Sorrow Lotus Realm.
Though both were suns, their scales were worlds apart. If the sun hanging above the Five Realms Heavens descended, it would not even need to fall all the way. Merely appearing in midair, its terrifying conceptual image, which gathered together every sun in the Five Realms Heavens, would be enough to burn the Five Realms to ashes.
As for the sun dropped by the blood-red hand, its descent merely made the Celestial Persons below, normally impervious to heat and cold, feel a trace of warmth for the first time in ages.
To put it plainly, this sun contained only a few wisps of the sun's conceptual image. In the world beyond the Five Realms, it could still be called a sun, but within the Five Realms, it was at most a fiery red sphere that gave off light and heat.
"A sun... is this solar true qi?"
Watching the descending sun, Zhang Yuan could not help feeling delighted.
Even if this sun was fairly ordinary, the sun's conceptual image within it was undeniably real.
