Tracing Golden Crow Blood to Its Source, Detailing the Might of the Bing Sun Ancient Lamp
In the southwest of the Jing Kingdom, Hengzhang City.
After the Crimson Fire Crow of Crimson Fire Cave joined the Holy Origin Alliance's front, the Vast Waves Alliance's allied forces in Hengzhang City were caught off guard and suffered a defeat not long after, with two border counties being swallowed up by the enemy.
Among the Sixteen Demon Caves, the Crimson Fire Crow is considered one of the top five strongest clans.
They have lived for generations on the Crimson Fire Archipelago in the sea. Beneath the islands lies an active underwater fire vein. The Crimson Fire Crow have been bathed in the earth's fire and magma for many years, and their demonic fire has gradually gained considerable power.
The demonic fire of the Crimson Fire Crow, which has reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, is quite powerful. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage water-based Law Technique cannot withstand it at all. Even those who are also Golden Core cultivators cannot last long under the scorching fire of the Crimson Fire Crow.
Moreover, the other side not only sent troops, but also brought an ancient treasure, a Bronze lamp. Its flame shone brightly, illuminating the sky and blazing with real fire, much like the majestic sun.
Even the Mystic Sea Avatar, Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator, was defeated by the flames of that ancient lamp and suffered considerable injuries.
It was precisely because of these factors that the Vast Waves Alliance's garrison suffered its first major defeat.
True Lord Qingyu wanted to make a move, but True Lord Shendu was extremely difficult to deal with. Once the opponent's five-colored poisonous light was fully spread, he could only forcibly entangle the opponent, but he could not get away to help the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.
On the city wall of Hengzhang City, Fu Qianlan gazed at the seven Crimson Fire Crow circling in the sky.
She had already summoned the green gourd in her hand, and water and fire intertwined to form a long dragon that swam above the city wall, confronting one of the Golden Core level Crimson Fire Crow.
However, she also knew that although the Origin-Sealing Water and Fire in the green gourd could restrain poisons, it was not very effective against pure fire-elemental demon fire. It could only barely hold on and could not win.
Moreover, that Crimson Fire Crow in the Middle Golden Core Stage possessed extremely pure bloodline, seemingly having awakened a portion of the Purple Flame Fire Crow's bloodline. The power of its demonic fire was quite frightening, and the ancient lamp, which carried a hint of the sun's might, was also not something to be easily encountered.
" Aunt Yuan, is there any way to defeat these Crimson Fire Crow?"
Fu Qianlan asked in her heart.
Aunt Yuan's voice echoed in her mind, tinged with solemnity. " The Crimson Fire Crow is a transformation of the Purple Flame Fire Crow Purple Flame Fire Crow, which in turn is a descendant of the Bing Sun Divine Crow. If we trace it back to its source, we might have to go back to the divine beast Golden Crow."
"That Crimson Fire Crow at the Middle Golden Core Stage already bears some of the symbols of the Purple Flame Fire Crow. It's probably the successor that old demon lord of the Crimson Fire Cave has painstakingly cultivated... It's extremely difficult to deal with."
"And then there's that ancient treasure..."
Aunt Yuan's voice grew even more serious as she said, "Although it only appeared for a fleeting moment, that bit of the sun's... no, it should be the power of the Bing Sun, is far beyond what ordinary Law Treasure can match."
"It's at least a mid-grade antique treasure that has been passed down through generations, and might even be a high-grade one."
"For Crimson Fire Cave to produce such a treasure, they must have brought out all their most treasured possessions."
"It seems that old demon lord hates your Dao Child to the core!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Qianlan's heart sank.
She thought of something else terrible.
"Do you think... that old demon lord in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, could he...?"
Aunt Yuan's voice was cold, breaking Fu Qianlan's hesitation, and she said, "With such hatred, you've probably already been persuaded... Besides, which of those demon kings and demon lords at sea doesn't want to return to the mainland?"
"They dream about it! They're going crazy with desire!"
Fu Qianlan's heart sank.
Even though she is now Golden Core True Person, she still felt a chill in her heart when she encountered that ancient lamp. Moreover, after what Aunt Yuan said, she was even more determined not to confront it directly.
"The only thing we can do now is see how Shuangbai decides to deal with this."
Sunken Jade Valley.
[ Dew Radiance Pool ].
The azure light flowed across the jade steps, and the frost-colored Sword Essence transformed into jade trees and branches that spread out, rustling as they swayed. Frost petals fell in abundance, turning into specks of silvery-white light that drifted into the air, then rose again, reforming into new frost petals, endlessly cycling and regenerating, transforming into a celestial palace on the moon, a realm of jade trees and golden flowers.
Throughout the entire rear hall, the light of the azure sea intertwined with the moonlight, and jade trees and branches danced with the frost, as if a moon palace had been brought to the human world.
The branches and shadows spreading along the pond are like the roots of the ancient cassia tree in the moon palace, deeply embedded in this world, absorbing the essence of the Grand Yin and nourishing the Daoist priest sitting cross-legged by the pond.
After Chen Shuangbai's Mystic Sea Avatar was injured, he became alert, and the imagery within the hall gradually subsided.
After clarifying the reason, he frowned. " Crimson Fire Crow in the Middle Golden Core Stage realm who has awakened part of the Profound Blood [ Purple Flame Fire Crow ] bloodline?"
"And there's another ancient treasure that seems to possess the power and aura of the Bing Sun light?"
Chen Shuangbai frowned slightly, her fingertips lightly tapping her knee as she fell into deep thought.
Mystic Sea Avatar was born from Spirit Embryo and could fight against ordinary Middle Golden Core Stage Late Golden Core Stage cultivators with only a mid-stage Golden Core. However, it was defeated by the ancient treasure of the opponent... That can only mean that the ancient treasure of the opponent was of a high level and had great power!
" Bing Sun?"
Changming was soaking in the jade basin, seemed to have overheard something. After learning the details, he opened his emerald eyes and looked at it curiously, saying, "The light of Bing Sun is a lower-level light of the sun. Although it is not as domineering as the pure sun, it is still a yang fire, which cannot be compared with ordinary fire or Divergent Flame. If it is really the light of Bing Sun... then it is not unjust for your avatar to lose, my lord."
Seeing that he seemed to understand such ancient secrets, Chen Shuangbai said, "Explain to me the relationship between the Bing Sun and the sun."
Changming that Chen Shuangbai had taken the initiative to inquire about such an ancient secret, Changming immediately perked up. He sat up straight from the jade basin, cleared his throat, and slowly explained, "In ancient times, there were ten suns. This does not literally refer to ten suns, but rather to ten symbolic representations of the sun. The Bing Sun is one of them, ranking among the top three."
"The fire of the Bing Sun is pure Yang with a touch of scorching heat; it is the most domineering and fierce, adept at burning everything."
Ancient texts say, "The fire of the Bing Sun is like melting gold and casting iron; wherever it passes, metal and stone turn to water, and grass and trees turn to ash."
"The ancient lamp that you just mentioned, since it can emit the light of the Bing Sun, its origin is probably extraordinary—it must have been made by some great Divine Ability being in imitation of the Bing Sun. Although it is an imitation, it is still incredibly powerful."
"There's such a secret..."
After listening, Chen Shuangbai felt he had gained considerable knowledge, but recalling the Nascent Soul Demon Lord of the Crimson Fire Cave, his expression became more serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"It seems that the Demon King Junyu Junyu's death at my hands has left this old demon lord with a grudge that lasts to this day. That's why the Holy Origin Alliance was persuaded to send several clansmen, carrying this treasure, across the sea. They're probably determined to avenge this!"
