CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 178: THE POWER OF TRUE SOLAR FIRE (PART 2)

Facing the air, he grabbed, and a crimson hammer appeared, which he held tightly. Blazing flames burned as he fiercely smashed it against the array barrier.

The earth trembled, as if the entire mountain was about to be shaken. The petrified array barrier nearby shattered, revealing cracks like a spider web.

"Another one of these arrays, break it for me!"

Profound Thunder Zhenren got enraged upon seeing such a defensive array. The Thunderbolt Flying Sword landed fiercely, shattering large rocks.

The flames of thunder spread, and the ordinary plants nearby couldn’t withstand this destructive force, turning into ashes one by one.

Just as Cloud Celestial Thunder was about to take action, the nearby soil suddenly seemed to come alive.

The soil wriggled madly, rapidly rising and thickening around them, turning into a yellow-black cage, closing in swiftly.

"Still trying to trap us?"

Xie Weidong’s hammer spun, and the force of its strength struck the newly formed earth wall, creating cracks instantly. However, the array power spread, and the cracks quickly repaired.

He reminded, "This is a top-grade array, break it first. We can’t let it trap us and give the thief a chance to escape."

"I’ll stop the array from forming!"

Cloud Celestial Thunder flew into the sky, and his magical treasure, the Celestial Thunder Pearl, was thrown, falling above the closing soil walls, with thunder smashing the growing soil, preventing it from fully closing.

At this moment, he noticed the light above his head was growing brighter, no longer a normal sunny day. The sunlight pouring down from the closing earth walls already gave a scorching feeling.

On the mountaintop, Shen Wang watched the three being restricted by the trapping array he preemptively modified from a defense array, a cold smile on his lips.

"I don’t expect to completely trap you, just to minimize your room to move."

He glanced at the turtle shell’s three-dimensional projection. There were six golden light spots in the mountaintop area.

His finger touched one of the light spots, pulling it towards the mountainside, and then the light spot turned into a beam of light shooting over.

At the same time, one of the lanterns of the straw hut shone brightly, suddenly appearing in the sky above the mountaintop, transforming into a golden sun.

A golden beam shot out, like natural glory falling, instantly reaching above Cloud Celestial Thunder, striking the Celestial Thunder Pearl down.

"Puff!"

His lifebound treasure suffered a heavy strike, making Cloud Celestial Thunder cough up a mouthful of old blood in astonishment.

What kind of attack!

It could even overwhelm him, injuring him at first contact.

Before he could see clearly what had attacked his treasure, he was scorched by the golden light, rendering him unable to open his eyes.

He was surrounded by scorching heat, and most terrifyingly, he found the mana instinctively protecting his body starting to burn, an extremely fiery yang flame already enveloping him.

"What!"

He couldn’t believe the previously scorching sunlight could become so terrifying in an instant. Hastily using the Celestial Thunder Pearl for protection, he discovered he still couldn’t resist the golden flames.

In panic, he tried to rush out, only to be pressed down by a mountain-like pressure from above, preventing his escape.

"What kind of flame! Help me, quickly!"

He cried out in alarm, scrambled to dodge, but collided with the closing soil walls, unable to escape.

At the same time, the whole soil wall turned into a bottle-like shape, with only the mouth of the bottle remaining, also sealed by the Dao Array’s power.

A large amount of True Solar Fire was injected inside, not only not dispersing but also rapidly covering the other two with the help of the bottle, increasing its power, like boiling turtles in a jar.

Xie Weidong and Profound Thunder Zhenren, though not directly attacked, tasted the power of the golden flames within breaths.

Xie Weidong placed his hammer in front of him. Being of the fire element as well, he resisted the flame power much stronger, exclaiming in surprise: "True Solar Fire, how can there be True Solar Fire! Has the thief... the thief controlled the core Dao Array here?"

"True Solar Fire!"

Struggling to fend it off, Profound Thunder Zhenren’s face changed drastically, his soul almost leaving his body.

True Solar Fire was one of the world’s most terrifying flames, utmost yang and firm, enough to incinerate Nascent Soul cultivators to ashes.

"Ah!"

Cloud Celestial Thunder’s mana couldn’t hold back, his flesh already igniting: "Save me!"

Cloud Celestial Thunder was at his tether’s end, turning around in pain, Man and Sword as One frantically attacking the array.

Xie Weidong didn’t even glance, a set of dark red heavy armor appeared on him, Purgatory Fire erupted, barely protecting himself.

"You..."

Cloud Celestial Thunder’s voice turned hoarse, his throat already burned.

With the True Solar Fire focusing on the high-cultivation Cloud Celestial Thunder, the latter didn’t walk far before falling to the ground, his body split open, burned alive into charcoal, then reduced to ash.

A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, burned alive in less than ten breaths, even Shen Wang, who wielded the True Solar Fire, was shocked.

That was too fast.

Bang!

The trapping array suddenly shattered.

A Thunder Sword Light, tainted with True Solar Fire, shot out, crazily flying outward.

Shen Wang’s gaze shifted, "Profound Thunder Zhenren? You’re the one I most desire to kill!"

He pointed at the distant sword light within the turtle shell, Profound Thunder Zhenren was immediately surrounded by immense pressure, slowing down, and enveloped by a golden light.

Profound Thunder Zhenren’s face darkened, trying to dodge. He quickly understood why Cloud Celestial Thunder couldn’t escape, for at the moment, it felt like a mountain pressed on him, making even flying difficult.

"Thief, I won’t accept this!"

He roared to the sky with anger, sword qi soaring, trying to break free and leave, but ultimately fell short. No matter how sharp his sword qi, under the power of the Sun Demon Suppression Array, it was insufficient.

Shen Wang’s voice echoed, "You’ve brought this upon yourself. You should’ve expected today when you provoked me."

He was filled with a sense of satisfaction, while Profound Thunder Zhenren’s body trembled violently in disbelief: "It’s you!"

How could he not recognize this voice, it was that bastard.

"You bast..."

He wanted to curse but the surrounding True Solar Fire broke through his defense, entering his body, destroying his vocal cords, silencing him instantly.

His flesh stood no chance before the True Solar Fire. Profound Thunder Zhenren’s body wasn’t exceptionally strong either, lasting even less time than Cloud Celestial Thunder, soon meeting the same fate.

"I didn’t get to kill you with my own hands, and you died so easily; you got off lightly!"

Shen Wang snorted coldly. If not for the arrival of so many Golden Cores, he would’ve certainly personally attempted to slay Profound Thunder Zhenren.

"Finally, this damned guy is dealt with!"

He felt exhilarating, his gaze falling on the last remaining person.

The latter had disappeared, his presence untraceable around.

Yet within the turtle shell’s projection, an amber point was slowly moving underground.

"Very clever, letting Profound Thunder Zhenren escape to draw fire, while escaping underground yourself. Even True Solar Fire can’t harm you."

Shen Wang sneered, "But you underestimate the Dao Array, thinking you can save your life underground?"

He grasped at the red light point, corresponding earth churned, revealing a fully armed short stout figure, and a puppet resembling a pangolin.

The latter was using it to swiftly burrow underground, tunneling an escape route, instead of truly possessing the Earth Escape Technique.

"To even control the earth, this Dao Array is terrifying!"

Xie Weidong was utterly frightened, hurriedly shouting, "Please show mercy, I surrender!"

A golden light enveloped him, True Solar Fire forced his mana and protective armor to shine furiously, releasing Purgatory True Fire to defend, barely keeping himself safe in the true fire.

"Hmm, good equipment does make a difference, able to resist even now."

Shen Wang was surprised. This guy, just like the Xie Xianlong he killed, was armed to the teeth, his strength also far surpassing ordinary peers.

"I killed your son. Do you think you can be spared?"

Shen Wang taunted, "Just see how long you can hold out."

"The elders within the sect know of my presence here. If I die, the Hundred Refining Sect will surely pursue!"

Xie Weidong gritted his teeth, "As one of the Upper Three Sects of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, even if you control this Dao Array, it won’t easily withstand us!"

"That depends on whether your sect is willing to go all out for you."

Shen Wang calmly replied, "Besides, I’ve already killed two Golden Cores, I’m not afraid to kill another."

Xie Weidong’s face darkened, "You’ve gone mad with killing. I am from the Xie Family..."

Rumble!

Another golden light descended, terrifying True Solar Fire causing explosions, melting the earth into golden flames.

No matter how mighty Xie Weidong’s armor was, it couldn’t withstand the direct true fire that condensed a massive amount of Solar Power. Immediately, his armor cracked, fire entering his body.

"You’ll die a miserable death!"

He cursed, consumed by two beams of True Solar Fire, exploding on the spot.

"If I don’t kill you all, should I wait for you to come back after you’re prepared to trouble me again?"
