When Lin Heng arrived at Heavenly Peace City, Sun Yuan was challenging them in the sky above the city.
Meanwhile, Meichuan Qiuku Ku, the city lord of Heavenly Peace City, was confronting Sun Yuan in mid-air.
"You despicable Human Race dared to launch a surprise attack on my Great Sun Race, slaughtering so many of my people. Today, I will fight you to the death!"
Meichuan Qiuku, wielding a dark-colored longsword, roared fiercely at Sun Yuan.
As a powerful being who Second Nirvana, he certainly has the right to make such harsh remarks.
But...
"A fight to the death?"
Sun Yuan's eyes were filled with disdainful mockery. "Today I will slaughter the entire city right in front of you. I want to see what you can do about it."
'roar!'
A deafening roar erupted from Sun Yuan, and his human form began to grow rapidly.
As his body grew larger, the appearance of Sun Yuan, the Five-Spirit Fierce Ape, gradually became apparent.
Its body was covered in fiery red fur that grew rapidly, its eyes were brimming with tears, and as it waved its hands in the air, bursts of lightning flickered faintly.
In a short while, Sun Yuan's true form as a giant ape appeared Heavenly Peace City.
'Boom!'
Sun Yuan stomped his foot on the ground, and the entire Heavenly Peace City shook violently.
If you look closely, you'll notice that yin and yang colors are faintly gathering beneath Sun Yuan's feet.
" Five-Spirit Fierce Ape? How is that possible?"
Meichuan Qiuku recognized Sun Yuan's true form at a glance, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
After all, it is a top-tier demonic beast comparable to the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix, and it has only appeared once in countless years. Now that it has appeared for the second time, who wouldn't be astonished?
After Sun Yuan transformed into his true form, his enormous hand suddenly lunged towards Meichuan Qiuku Ku.
The arms moved with a whooshing sound, creating a slight tremor in the space around them.
Meichuan Qiuku hurriedly swung his long sword at Sun Yuan's palm.
'Bang!'
The ape's hand collided with the longsword, producing a metallic sound. A flash of fire appeared, Sun Yuan took a step back, while Meichuan Qiuku was sent flying back a hundred meters in mid-air.
In their first clash, Sun Yuan did not draw his weapon, but having First Nirvana, he relied on the extraordinary talent of the Five-Spirit Fierce Ape to gain an absolute advantage over Meichuan Qiuku, who had Second Nirvana.
" The Five-Spirit Fierce Ape are truly terrifying. If Sun Yuan hadn't grown up in the Chaotic Sand Sea, his achievements would probably be far greater than what he has achieved so far."
Lin Heng nodded approvingly, already looking forward to Sun Yuan's performance when he went to the Ninefold Heaven.
Having confirmed that Sun Yuan would have no problem fighting Meichuan Qiuku alone, Lin Heng took advantage of the fact that everyone else's attention was focused on Sun Yuan to slip into the city.
Before Lin Heng arrived in Heavenly Peace City, Situ Jiannan said one last thing.
" Heavenly Peace City holds the history of the Great Sun Race, all of which is hidden within the Tianjing Shrine. If we threaten to destroy this place, we can definitely rescue Yue Linglong and Miao Xiyin without shedding a drop of blood."
That is why Lin Heng entered the city alone.
At this moment, almost all the powerful figures in the city had gone to the outer perimeter to attack Sun Yuan, so the low-level guards inside the city naturally had difficulty detecting Lin Heng's intrusion.
Not long after entering the city, Lin Heng found the so-called Tianjing Shrine.
The two Great Sun Race Supreme Saint were responsible for guarding this place. With Lin Heng's silent entry, he easily dealt with them with just two swings of the Mieluo Spear.
After eliminating the guards, Lin Heng strode directly into the Tianjing Shrine.
No sooner had they stepped into the shrine than a cold voice suddenly rang out from nowhere.
" Human Race cultivator, why are you here at the shrine of my Great Sun Race?"
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Heng probed with his soul, but found no signs of life within the shrine.
There must be some special formation here that can serve a monitoring function.
The powerful figure who spoke was most likely not actually present; he had only discovered them through the formation.
Seeing that Lin Heng did not reply, the voice sounded again.
" Human Race cultivator, if you have any needs, we can discuss them. Please leave the shrine of my Great Sun Race; this is our sacred ground."
The person who spoke this time clearly sounded a little nervous.
It seems that this so-called Tianjing Shrine does indeed hold extraordinary significance for the Great Sun Race.
Lin Heng originally came here intending to use the Tianjing Shrine as leverage to get them to release Yue Linglong and Miao Xiyin as soon as possible.
But after sensing the change in the other person's emotions, Lin Heng changed his mind.
The fact that this place makes them so nervous probably means it's not just a place to record history and find spiritual solace; there might be other secrets behind it.
Lin Heng didn't reply, but simply wandered around the Tianjing Shrine.
The place isn't very big; I'd guess it only has about a dozen rooms.
Lin Heng looked around and found that the books here were indeed records of the history of the Great Sun Race.
I picked up a book at random and flipped through it.
This is the history of the Great Sun Race's invasion and occupation of the Sea Race many years ago.
It records how they invaded the Sea Race and abducted Sea Race women to use as breeding tools.
According to what it says, the descendants of the Great Sun Race and the Sea Race now live in the Dongjing City of the Great Sun Region.
Originally, Lin Heng had only intended to read it casually as unofficial history, but his expression turned serious when he saw the last entry in the book.
The book mentions that offspring born from mating with Sea Race can only inherit half of the Sea Race's talents, and to date, the highest growth potential is only at the Nirvana Realm.
Therefore, the conclusion is that the theory of Sea Race reproduction does not apply to the mass production of powerful beings.
Lin Heng put down the book in his hand and took out another one from the side.
This is a book that records the reproductive history of the Great Sun Race and Blue Fish Race.
Sure enough, when Lin Heng turned to the last page of the book, he found the same conclusion.
Marrying a member of the Blue Fish Race will weaken one's own bloodline, and because the Blue Fish Race lacks powerful supernatural abilities, their offspring are forbidden from procreating with Blue Fish Race women.
Just after Lin Heng finished reading the records in the second book, the owner of the previous voice could no longer contain himself.
" Human Race cultivator, I advise you to leave the sacred land of my Great Sun Race immediately, otherwise I guarantee you will never be able to leave the Great Sun Region."
When soft tactics failed, the other party directly and forcefully stated their stance.
But Lin Heng acted as if he hadn't heard, completely ignoring it and simply flipping through other books.
After flipping through hundreds of books, Lin Heng finally found a record about the Human Race in the center of the shrine.
That was the first time the Great Sun Race had attacked Human Race territory and abducted hundreds of women to be used as breeding tools.
According to the book, over a thousand descendants of the Great Sun Race, who possessed Human Race blood, were born at that time. During the examination of their aptitude, it was discovered that more than a dozen of these children had talents that were among the best in the Great Sun Race.
This also led the Great Sun Race to harbor evil intentions towards intermarrying with the Human Race.
But when they launched their second attack on the Human Race, they not only failed to abduct any women from Human Race territory, but also suffered a strong counterattack from the Human Race, and were even driven into their own territory by powerful Human Race.
When the powerful Human Race discovered the actions of the Great Sun Race against their own women, they were enraged and unleashed a massacre on Great Sun Race territory...
