Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Taiyin, Sun

She was a young woman of fifteen or sixteen, clad in white. Like a radiant Silver Moon, she seemed to have stepped right out of the moonlight—a picturesque, peerless, and otherworldly beauty.

And yet, she exuded a chilling aura potent enough to freeze the very heavens and earth.

As she stood there in the Void, a frigid mist instantly spread out around her, conjuring a terrifying vision of a world locked in ice and snow.

’Someone from the Sun and Moon Sword Sect... Is that the True Body of Taiyin?’

Qin Feng mused, his eyes narrowing.

This white-robed young woman who had appeared out of nowhere gave him an intense feeling of danger.

Qin Feng turned his head and asked coolly, "And who might you be, coming to my territory to steal my prey?"

"Your territory?"

The young woman in white paused for a beat. "You’re about to die. What territory could you possibly have?"

With a flick of her slender, pale hand, she sent a palm strike out. A chill ran through Qin Feng’s Divine Thought as he witnessed a soul-shaking, unforgettable sight.

As the palm strike flew, a beam of cold light that froze all in its path swept forward, bringing with it an eternal silence. The Void was frozen, the starlight solidified. It even felt as if one’s very Divine Thought would be brought to a standstill, frozen solid.

Nothing else existed between heaven and earth but this singular beam of frigid light.

’Taiyin Annihilation Dao, or Frozen Ten Thousand Realms?’ Qin Feng recalled the Supreme Great Divine Abilities ranked forty-eighth and thirty-ninth on the Divine Power Ranking.

"Chaos Fire Disaster!"

Qin Feng raised a hand. His hand seemed to move with extreme slowness in the Void, but in reality, it was moving at the ultimate speed.

A speck of firelight appeared in the Void.

A wisp of eternal, inextinguishable Flame suddenly manifested from the Void.

It was the very essence of combustion, light, and heat, burning with a ceaseless, ferocious intensity. It detonated the Void, illuminated time itself, and sublimated all matter. It boiled the Primordial Qi, turned endless forests to ash, and reduced the very earth to molten slag. It liquefied the most resilient Geng Metal and turned the world’s oceans to steam, smelting all rules and phenomena as it threatened to incinerate the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

It was like a sun, suddenly bursting from Qin Feng’s fingertip and streaking forward like a meteor.

Wherever it passed, the beam of frigid light silently disintegrated. The red light then slammed into the young woman in white.

In an instant, a radiance like that of Ming Yue erupted from the young woman. Ming Yue was pure and bright, its frigid light sharp, as a luminous pearl rose to circle around her.

SIZZLE!

The Chaos Fire Disaster Divine Ability bombarded the Ice Crystal, and its translucent light pulsed violently. From the point of contact, the Divine Ability’s full might erupted in a chaotic rampage, threatening to completely smelt the Void. A flicker of surprise showed in her icy eyes, and she bit her lip. The young woman in white pointed a finger, and the translucent, crystal-like pearl—the one that radiated the brilliance of Ming Yue—burst forth with a magnificent glow.

Its pure, bright radiance was like that of a true Ming Yue.

Layer after layer of ice-crystal-like frigid light gradually neutralized the power of the Chaos Fire Disaster.

It actually caused the terrifying Flame to cool and dissipate. Even the formless Calamity and decay within it turned to chunks of ice in the frigid light, falling into the Void.

His gaze grew solemn as it fell upon the pearl before her, a pearl as bright as the Taiyin Star itself. Qin Feng sighed slowly.

"I never expected you to possess a treasure like the Taiyin Divine Pearl. You must be practicing the Taiyin Refining Technique, one of the True Inheritances of the Sun and Moon Sword Sect. You’re from the sect, aren’t you?"

The young woman in white sized up the black-robed youth, her shapely brows knitting together. She didn’t answer Qin Feng’s question.

The True Power within her was in violent turmoil. She had gotten the worse of that exchange and sustained a minor injury.

’Qin Feng is a tricky opponent,’ she thought. ’Even though he hasn’t broken through to the Sea of Reincarnation Second Realm, the Space Realm, his power is immense.’

The young woman in white hesitated.

Just then, the expressions of both the young woman and Qin Feng shifted. In the distant horizon, a streak of fiery light shot across the sky like a meteor.

"Guanghan, Junior Sister, don’t panic! I’m here to lend you a hand!"

An incredibly arrogant voice boomed out, echoing across the entire Lone Night Star.

If the power flowing from the young woman in white was like the Taiyin Ming Yue, capable of freezing all creation, then the light erupting from this streak of Flame was like the Pure Yang Sun, unleashing a force powerful enough to melt the Void itself.

In a matter of moments, a young man in a red robe arrived, treading upon flames.

His crimson hair fell to his waist, and his build was slender. His features were handsome, with a hint of untamed wildness. His sharp, sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards, and the dancing Flames within his eyes were the perfect finishing touch, bringing his entire being to vivid life.

He arrived thus, treading upon flames and looking down upon Lone Night Star from on high, like a Sun God gazing down upon all mortals.

Qin Feng’s pupils contracted as he felt the newcomer’s aura. Based on presence alone, this red-robed youth was significantly more powerful than the young woman in white.

His aura wasn’t the least bit inferior to that of an expert at the Sea of Reincarnation Third Realm, the Celestial Realm.

Those in the Sea of Reincarnation Third Realm, the Celestial Realm, have already condensed the embryonic form of an Inner Heaven and Earth. In essence, they have completely comprehended the Origin.

This is the beginning of the transition from Extraordinary to Saint.

Just imagine, how could an ordinary person possibly contend with a Saint who comprehends all the transformations of heaven and earth?

The young woman in white clearly had no particular fondness for the red-robed youth. Her gaze was cold. "Zhu Yan, what are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be hunting the Golden Purple Flame Lion King? Have you been following me?"

The red-robed youth, Zhu Yan, waved his hand dismissively. "Guanghan, Junior Sister, what are you talking about? How could I possibly follow you? I was just tracking the Golden Purple Flame Lion King and happened to see you in a standoff with this lout."

"Junior Sister, in my opinion, this little lout is a bit out of your league. Why don’t you let me teach him a lesson?"

The red-robed youth was a smooth talker, diverting the young woman’s attention in just a few words. She, of course, knew exactly what he was up to.

The young woman in white shot the red-robed youth a cold glance, then said after a moment, "Fine. You can handle him. This man seems to possess an extraordinary Flame Divine Ability. If you can kill him and obtain it, your power is sure to increase immensely!"

"But be careful. That Divine Ability is extremely potent. It even managed to break through my Taiyin!"

The red-robed youth smiled arrogantly and said, "Junior Sister, rest assured. The kid’s Cultivation is only at the Sea of Reincarnation First Realm. I’d say he hasn’t been in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm for long. For someone like him, a single finger is all I need to crush him to death!"

With that, he turned his gaze on Qin Feng. "Kid, you heard me. If you know what’s good for you, hand over that Divine Ability of yours immediately. Otherwise, not only will you fail to keep it, but everything you have today will be lost forever!"

Qin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly as he watched the red-robed youth slowly advance, his oppressive presence growing.

The situation was very unfavorable for Qin Feng.

These two were different from the four Sea of Reincarnation strongmen he had fought in the Void earlier. He had ambushed those four, catching them unprepared and obliterating them with the Chaotic Heaven and Earth Cannon.

These two were too close. Even if Qin Feng were to use the Primordial Heaven and Earth Cannon, he probably couldn’t hit them.

’I’d have no problem in a one-on-one fight,’ Qin Feng thought. ’Even though this Zhu Yan is an expert at the Sea of Reincarnation Third Realm, the Celestial Realm, I’m confident my foundation is strong enough to defeat him. The key issue is that there are two of them. If I had already completely refined the twelve types of Spirit Fire and perfected my Chaos Fire Disaster, I might not fear them. But fighting one against two right now... I’d definitely be at a disadvantage!’

As he watched Zhu Yan advance step by step, the pressure on him grew heavier and heavier. It was as if a blazing red sun had manifested in his mind’s eye...
