Chapter 1997 - Auspicious Beasts Suppress Evil

For a long time, no one spoke. Their minds seemed to be frozen, sluggish from shock. Only a flaming white and gold sphere remained in sight. White had taken over, making the sun even more dazzling and terrifying. Even after the spears had been retracted, it was still mighty and majestic. How did it feel for a deific-class world to be overwhelmed by a heliacal-class world?

"Skywolf Blaze.…" They stiffly turned their heads, looking at a distant corner. The once glorious world now resembled a withered flower, its devastation far worse than Skywolf Frost’s. All that was left was the empty shell of a fusion formation. No stone or sand remained. At the moment, the brand-new sun was still destroying the formation.

"It’s all gone." The only source of light in this part of the universe was the sun. Like a great, imposing, ancient god, the sun towered above everything, unrivaled in its power. In the vast universe, all that remained was their pounding hearts.

"Report, report this to my father immediately!" Qing finally yelled.

......

Tianming and Lingfeng were aware of everything that had transpired. This was the sun emperor's maniacal counterattack.

"Even if you destroy Skywolf Blaze, you still have to die!" It didn’t matter what the sun emperor did; Lingfeng wanted to kill him.

But all that he got in reply was the sun emperor's laughter, which grew louder and louder. Even more frightening was the fact that the impetus of the sun seemed to have returned to him.

Countless baleful souls cried for revenge. The soul of the scorching sun was about to shatter as the sun emperor grew closer to the gates of death. The world within the Flameyellow Coffin was about to be entirely swallowed by baleful souls. It was at that exact moment that the sun collided into Skywolf. Lingfeng was inside the coffin, so he didn't have to endure the shock of the impact.

"Die!"

A storm of souls tore a gash in the soul of the sun. However, the sun emperor was still laughing. The more he laughed, the more terrifying he seemed. Amidst the laughter, the sun’s spears pierced Skywolf Blaze and began absorbing nova source. As its nova source increased, the sun began expanding. And along with that, the Flameyellow Divine Pillars grew stronger and thicker. Thus, the Flameyellow Guard Formation was able to absorb more power. More and more specters within the formation succumbed to death. After devouring Skywolf Blaze, the sun had been restored to its former glory.

The amplification of the Flameyellow Guard Formation made it even more invulnerable, like an impenetrable fortress. If the sun emperor were unimpeded, he would be at his full majesty. Although he was engulfed by baleful souls, he was still laughing.

"Child, it seems that you still don't understand. The Flameyellow Coffin is the core of the Flameyellow Guard Formation. Now that the formation is strong, will the core be weak?"

At that moment, something shocking occurred. A flame pillar extended from the formation, flooding the coffin. The baleful souls were immediately dispelled by the beam of light. Amidst the ravaging souls, the flame pillar shot toward the coffin, pouring into the sun emperor’s solar soul. Along with that was the impetus of the sun, which was five times stronger than before. The sun seemed to have formed its own will and the entire world was in harmony with the sun emperor. All of that poured into the sun emperor’s soul, making him stronger than before.

Inside the Flameyellow Coffin, something terrifying was about to occur. Just as the sun was devouring Skywolf Star, the solar soul seemed to have been affected by the formation’s power. The sun’s impetus grew more and more. In no time at all, a dazzling soul emerged from the ashes. Inside the coffin, fire enveloped the gigantic beast statues. One by one, they came to life like a wave of beasts. They were artifact souls, thousands of them, transformed into giant auspicious beasts that soared into the sky. Encircling the solar soul, they began their attack.

"Auspicious beasts suppress evil. The flameyellow divinities are unrivaled. Flaming beasts, hear my order: purge these evil spirits. Sanctify the path of the righteous, split the heavens and earth, and bring forth a golden age!”

At that moment, the sun emperor’s soul was transformed into a god of the sun, combining with the world beneath his feet. After destroying Skyworld Blaze, he was considered the world’s savior, rising to his most powerful and invincible state in all of history and reaching the heavens in one step. No one could have predicted this. If the sun was strong, then so was he. The will of one man had merged with the will of an entire world. It was something neither Tianming nor Lingfeng could have foreseen. Going against him now would be tantamount to going against the sun’s nova source.

"I must thank you for helping me take the throne! You’ve succeeded. Everyone recognizes you. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. For the next part of the journey, I’ll do the walking!" Inside the Flameyellow Coffin, the solar soul was surrounded by countless bestiae. At the sun emperor’s proclamation, they rushed toward the baleful souls and attacked.

However, the sight of the small flame turning into a huge fireball failed to deter the baleful souls—all they knew was slaughter. Only this time, no matter how many of them there were, they were all incinerated when they went up against the impetus of the sun. “Evil will never prevail. You dare challenge me?! Ye Lingfeng, before the impetus of the sun, your evil dao is just that. Detested by all, it’ll never see the light of day. Before my brilliance, you’re only fit for living out the rest of your days in darkness and misery like these baleful souls! A lowly, dirty man like you is unworthy of my daughter! Take a good look in the mirror. Are you still human?" From his words, it was clear he wanted Qingyu back. Perhaps it was because he could still control her, but not Tianming or Lingfeng. Qingyu was the ideal heir in his mind. Who knew how much of it was actually love?

However, none of it mattered.

The sun emperor’s retaliation was devastating. What was even more frightening was the fact that the Flameyellow Coffin, which had become stronger due to the Flameyellow Guard Formation, completely swept away Tianming's sword ki. The divine artifact was now stronger than ever. Even the baleful souls were trapped, unable to leave the sealed Flameyellow Coffin.
