The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 341 The Great Sun Will Rise from the Eastern Peak

The Great Sun True Fire is one of the three great true fires in the world. It is extremely yang and strong, pure and boundless. There is a bronze divine tree here, which is enough to nurture and catalyze the growth of this three-legged golden crow. However, Zhou Yan quickly discovered the problem.

Time was too short.

Even though this ancient dragon turtle is the younger brother of the giant turtle, possessing the qualities of supporting the heavens and being compatible with water and soil, making it most suitable for the growth of this bronze divine tree, the time this divine tree was devoured was too short, and it only slightly stimulated the growth of roots.

But even that's not enough to nurture this three-legged golden crow.

Zhou Yan pressed his palm against the bronze divine wood, intending to use it as fuel to ignite the Great Sun Golden Flame and incinerate this ancient ferocious god from the inside out. His mind was racing, trying to figure out if there was any way to catalyze this process.
In this critical situation, the heartbeat of the Primordial Dragon Turtle sounded like a war drum, disturbing people's minds. Zhou Yan's breathing was heavy, and he could faintly hear the sound of the Golden Heaven King's Geng Metal Qi circulating.

This guy is still as 'pure' as ever.

Zhou Yan knew how enormous this thing was—a colossal beast at the level of immortals and gods. Just by moving, it could smash the entire ancient city to pieces. It was just that Kaiming seemed to be holding it back, buying some time. Even so, Zhou Yan's heart was still pounding.

The feeling of having less than five minutes left before the papers were collected, yet still having an entire essay to write, surged intensely into my heart.

One idea after another came to mind, only to be discarded.

The ends of his hair at his temples were soaked with sweat. Zhou Yan didn't know whether the heartbeat he heard was from the ancient dragon turtle's anger or from his own panic. When everything was stripped away, Zhou Yan knew that he was just an ordinary person.

But ordinary people also have to bear all of this.

At this moment, there was no one else!

Zhou Yan was thinking, but suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning. Zhou Yan exhaled and looked at the bronze divine wood. A strong struggle arose in his eyes. But first, following his senses, he found the two treasures next to him, the Earth Soul Sky Collapse and the Demon Binding Rope.

Wearing Madam Xu's sword on his lower back, the Earth Soul and Heavenly Inclined sword on his waist, and the Demon Binding Rope as a belt, Zhou Yan looked at the bronze divine wood, suddenly gripped the hilt of the sword, and fiercely slashed out with full force!

Zhou Yan's current state is like the last bit of red flame after the firewood has burned out. However, this last bit of flame, which has burned to the very end, still shows a resolute fighting spirit in the face of an enemy that is almost impossible to defeat. It is most in line with the true essence of the warlord.

Thus, this slash cleaved open the flesh of the ancient dragon turtle.

This ancient dragon turtle possessed boundless and powerful blood and energy, no longer resembling its previous trapped state. After all, Gonggong personally intervened, sacrificing his own vital energy to free it. The dragon turtle's blood and energy were now like a living thing, retaliating against Zhou Yan.

The stick in Zhou Yan's hand suddenly plunged into the flesh.

At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and struck the surging qi and blood with a palm. Then, with a turn and a guide, it subtly transformed into a rotating array. If Kaiming or Jin Tianwang were here, they would immediately be able to see it.

Zhou Yan's actions at this moment perfectly matched the burial formation of the two great feng shui masters outside, next to the Heavenly Palace. He forcefully used the blood and qi of the Primordial Dragon Turtle as an attack force, then transformed it into primordial energy and bombarded the Bronze Divine Tree.

The more Zhou Yan drew upon the blood and qi of the Primordial Dragon Turtle to transform into primordial energy, the more turbulent the Primordial Dragon Turtle's own blood and qi counterattack became, its power overwhelming. However, Zhou Yan stood there, the character "镇" (suppress) on his right palm faintly radiating light.

Before Zhou Yan could despair, the [Suppression] technique was enough to maintain his basic condition and forcefully preserve the construction of this feng shui array, allowing his blood and qi to continuously flow into the bronze divine tree.

Zhou Yan's breathing became somewhat heavy as he watched the feng shui formation, modeled after Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, flow and change, transforming the backlash from the dragon turtle's physical body and blood into a nourishing force, which was then poured into the bronze tree.

"Faster, faster..."

Zhou Yan stared intently at the bronze divine tree shrouded in blood.

He was completely focused, hoping that time would pass faster. However, in his concentration, he did not notice that his left arm, the arm that represented the mark of Gonggong and a wisp of pure divinity, was faintly glowing.

Gonggong represents flow and the ultimate annihilation of all things.

It also represents the linear flow of time.

The most incredible things are supernatural powers and wondrous methods. Zhou Yan's whole heart almost resonated with this arm, and he himself had indeed experienced three hundred years of accelerated time. However, when this wisp of water elemental spirit flowed and emitted flowing light, it was blocked by King Yu's chains and could not erupt with Zhou Yan's mind.

The power of "accelerating time" was not demonstrated here.

However, this resonance with the Water Element under the circumstances of despair was still perceived and felt by Gonggong, who was sealed at this moment. For the primordial concept god, the complete unification of his own authority was of utmost importance.

It is more important than exercising one's own authority.

King Yu merely sealed him away, but at that moment, the sealed Gonggong felt that his authority, in this instant, began to subtly resonate and connect with another being.

This means that another entity is beginning to take control of the source of water.

The ancient dragon turtle, which was engaged in a fierce battle with Kaiming, suddenly sensed a powerful divine thought. This divine thought came from its revered god, Gonggong.

Destroy Langzhong immediately!
The ancient dragon turtle sensed a ripple of humanity.

All living things strive for perfection and unity.

The water god Gonggong had glimpsed the possibility that his own origin would be devoured and controlled, which is why he spared no effort to expend his cultivation to forcibly unseal the dragon turtle. This divine thought was so strong that the ancient dragon turtle was about to obey the order and turn around.

But as soon as he turned around, Kaiming's claws pressed down hard.

【Primordial Qi - Five Elements Grand Seizing】!
boom! ! !
The ancient dragon turtle was completely suppressed.

Even in a severely injured state, Kaiming was still the foundation of the Three Gods of Kunlun. At this moment, he held off the Primordial Dragon Turtle. The Primordial Dragon Turtle roared, "Kaiming, you're already critically injured and on the verge of death, are you out of your mind?!"

While coughing up blood, Kaiming's true form said:

"Give that brat back to me!"

The ancient dragon-turtle was anxious, but unable to escape, so it turned to look at Langzhong, which was so close and could be destroyed with a single step, and said, "Destroy this place and come help me!!!"

The roar not only traveled outside, but also penetrated his flesh and bones, reaching his body, which Zhou Yan heard clearly.

"...Damn it, time, faster, faster!"

Zhou Yan could sense that the bronze divine tree was reviving, and the three-legged golden crow was bathed in fire, stretching its wings, and faintly showing signs of dancing.

The roots of the bronze divine tree spread and grew naturally, penetrating into the flesh and blood of the ancient dragon turtle. Its branches and leaves spread out, emitting a rich aura of metal and wood. Golden patterns lit up on every feather of the three-legged golden crow.

A blazing golden flame began to gather.

Water and soil are transformed into metal and wood, which are then tempered by fire. By drawing upon the essence of the formation techniques of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, the two forces converge and swirl, bringing them together at a single point.

While the Three-Legged Golden Crow was being tempered, the incredibly powerful blood and energy of the Primordial Dragon Turtle were constantly gathering around Zhou Yan, being absorbed with his breathing. He didn't notice this while he was focused on the formation.

The jade talisman representing Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of heaven, seemed to transform into a small void or vortex, silently devouring the life force of the ancient dragon turtle that was enough to support the sky, while its left arm was devouring the water element here.

hum-

Throughout the world, the concept of the central pillar seems to be faintly illuminating.

Zhou Yan sensed the transformation of the three-legged golden crow, and felt it gradually regaining its original vitality and power. Suddenly, he heard Ji Xuanyuan's voice in his ear, saying, "Boy, can you hear me!?"

What are you planning to do!?

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "Use the blood and energy of the Primordial Dragon Turtle to fully restore the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and then I'll explode against it!"

"This Primordial Dragon Turtle is the younger brother of the Sky-Supporting Giant Turtle. Its blood and energy are too strong. My attacks cannot cause any real damage to it. Even if I enlarge the Earth Soul Heaven-Shattering Technique, it will at most tear a big hole in it and seriously injure it."

"We can assume that the three-legged golden crow can regain its full power."

“I believe His brother could withstand the sun’s fire, but He has only just escaped, so it’s absolutely impossible.”

Ji Xuanyuan, who had been unreliable before, was now calm and asked:
"...And then what?" "To make the ten suns appear in the sky again?"

"Should we solve the current difficulties by addressing a bigger problem?"

“I know you’re exhausted and under a lot of pressure, but it’s precisely at times like this that you need to calm down. Only then can you make the right choices under this pressure.”

Ji Xuanyuan was no longer the playful and witty person he used to be; instead, he exuded a sense of calm.

Zhou Yan remained silent.

Ji Xuanyuan knew how strong the pressure and opponents Zhou Yan faced were. With a sense of apology, an apology for not being able to completely eliminate these enemies, he said, "However, I have another option here."

"The Three-Legged Golden Crow is one of the ancient ferocious gods, but they are not simply born from the earth. Rather, they are more like spiritual beings. I have the art of controlling dragons. Listen carefully: when the Three-Legged Golden Crow's vital energy is revived, drip your blood onto the Three-Legged Golden Crow."

"Try to control and master this great sun."

"Try it!"

"Di Jun has already perished, and the Three-Legged Golden Crow has also been shot down. At this moment, it is like the sun being reborn from the ashes. Theoretically, you can make it feel enough intimacy and trust towards you, and even treat you as a family member, a father."

"In that case, you can at least control it to some extent."

Zhou Yan nodded, his voice hoarse: "Okay."

Zhou Yan, who had once felt pain from sword wounds, now cut his palm with sword energy without hesitation, and then splashed his blood onto the bronze divine tree and the three-legged golden crow. The divine will of the three-legged golden crow carried a tyrannical aura, resisting and defying.

I am the essence of the great sun, the leader of all demons.

How could that be?

The arrogance of the three-legged golden crow stems from its past experiences and its status.

It comes from the great sun that looks down upon all living beings from high above.

But before the divine thought could be fully transmitted, the three-legged golden crow found that its vision had changed, and that pure and incomparable metal and wood energy spread out. The next moment, a huge force struck its head.

The three-legged golden crow was captured, and Zhou Yan's forehead slammed heavily against the top of the three-legged golden crow's head.

A concentrated and oppressive aura crashed into the three-legged golden crow's brain, gripping it tightly and instantly calming it down, which had just received a rich supply of blood and energy.

He noticed that Zhou Yan's eyes were bloodshot.

At this moment, the lives of 300,000 people weighed on his shoulders. Since entering Langzhong, he had fought his way through countless battles, including against the Ancient Dragon Turtle, Li Yuanying, Shi, the Golden Heavenly King, and Gonggong. It could be said that he had exhausted all his resources to struggle to get here.

Even so, with all plans in place, Gonggong still overturned the table with his immense power, plunging them from the final step of hope into absolute despair.

After struggling to rise from this situation, his final burst of fighting spirit carried a chilling and madness of utter desperation.

Like a piece of iron, forged to its fullest potential through countless battles, it reveals its sharp edge.

The three-legged golden crows felt a slight fear in their hearts. Zhou Yan grabbed its neck, stretched out his left arm, and clear water element flowed around it. Zhou Yan's black hair hung down, his eyes were dark, and he said, "Two paths, two choices, and three hundred thousand lives."

"The first road."

"If you disagree, I won't give you any face."

"The water element of the water god Gonggong should be enough to completely extinguish you."

"Even if I die with them, at least one sun will fall completely, and my father will be buried with me. It's a lose-lose situation, but a lose-lose situation is better than losing alone!"

"Either you listen to me, or..."

"Relax your mind."

"Let me, a mere mortal, ride upon you, this great sun!"

"I will help you restore your strength, and you must help me kill this damned Primordial Dragon Turtle, understand?"

The three-legged golden crow, an ancient and exotic species, was extremely arrogant. It stared intently at Zhou Yan, determined not to agree. Zhou Yan did not hesitate. The chains on his arm were immediately unleashed, and Gonggong's water element erupted. The brand, like a venomous snake, spread upwards along his arm.

Zhou Yan's flesh and blood, as well as his meridians, were eroded.

His vision went black, but that indescribable force, that energy, held him up within his body. His backbone, his very spirit, held him firmly. He endured the excruciating pain of being torn apart a thousand times and sneered, "Then come on, I'll send you on your way first."

Ji Xuanyuan subconsciously exclaimed, "Zhou Yan!"

Zhou Yan did not hesitate at all. The water element broke free from the chains and charged towards the three-legged golden crow. Even though the three-legged golden crow was made of true solar fire, it began to struggle violently and frantically when faced with the power of the water god, which was enough to extinguish the sun.

Anger, curses, and finally, as the water elemental coiled around the three-legged golden crow's feathers, causing them to extinguish, the three-legged golden crow finally let out a series of mournful cries.

Seeing that Zhou Yan's body was also being eroded by the water element, his skin and flesh melting away, Zhou Yan, who had reached this point, seemed to have a calm despair and madness burning in his eyes. The Three-Legged Golden Crow had seen this kind of look before.

In the eyes of that man named Yi.

The three-legged golden crow's struggles finally subsided, turning into submission and obedience. The water element was about to spread to its body, and it was truly afraid. Zhou Yan's aura also weakened further, and he gasped for breath, saying, "You submit?"

The three-legged golden crow has clear and adorable eyes.

Nod vigorously.

Zhou Yan glanced at it and saw that the mark of the Water God had spread to his shoulder.

His entire arm felt like it was being soaked in ice water, but he couldn't care less about anything else. He grabbed the three-legged golden crow and dripped his own blood essence into the crow's brow. The three-legged golden crow tried to resist, but when it looked up, it saw those black eyes with bloodshot veins.

Cold, calm, and insane.

Those who confront the ancient gods cannot be at ease.

The three-legged golden crow shivered and obediently allowed Zhou Yan's mark to land on it. It made up its mind that it would definitely slip away afterward. Zhou Yan stared at the bronze divine tree and let the three-legged golden crow land on it again.

This time, human blood transformed into a fiery dance, and the three-legged golden crow danced amidst the flames.

Golden flames began to accumulate layer by layer.

Accumulation.

We must make it in time, before the ancient dragon turtle destroys Langzhong.

Burn him!!!
You want to eat me? I'll blow you to bits!

Zhou Yan's eyes emitted brilliant golden flames, and a feeling of exhaustion and composure appeared on the Taoist priest. He held up the three-legged golden crow with both hands, and the three-legged golden crow danced in his palms.

Since Langzhong is shrouded in endless night, then I will hold up a great sun in my hands!
Illuminating this landscape with countless blossoms!
The great sun will rise from the Eastern Peak!

At this moment, a slight ripple appeared on the ancient golden bell hanging under the bright moon above Huaguang Tower, a supreme divine weapon that had slumbered for countless years.
