If this could still be considered a coincidence, then his deliberate act of luring me to the desolate mountains after leaving the dao grounds, and then striking at me, definitely could not be considered a coincidence.
Even a Major Heavenly Immortal might not be able to perceive me under the state of Imperial Sun Patrol, let alone him, a mere cultivator at the Unity Realm Stage.
Lastly, and most importantly, this pressure nearly akin to that of the Highest Heaven Emperor had a touch of similarity with Mount Tai, and in this realm, no one other than the Lord of Mount Tai could wield such divine might.
With this realization, the Vermilion Sun Stars Official could not help but tremble in spirit, with only one thought left in his mind.
"This is a trap, a trap aimed at the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor!"
"I must not confront it head-on, I must send out a message!"
In the Guangyuan World, not three realms away from the Great Primal Chaos Realm, there was a Golden Immortal who oversaw the world and hunted those who stole sovereign powers.
If he could break through the barrier of this heaven and earth and send the message to the Guangyuan World, the conspiracy of the Lord of Mount Tai would be exposed.
Even if the Lord of Mount Tai personally took action to kill that Golden Immortal, he would not be able to stop the spread of the message, which would likewise draw the Donghua Emperor’s investigation.
Numerous thoughts flashed by in an instant, and the Vermilion Sun Stars Official immediately made a decision.
The will of the Heavenly Immortal activated the spirit of the supreme grade immortal artifact in his hand, the Great Sun Golden Wheel, which had been blessed by the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor and had the potential to become a Half-Step Boundary Opening Treasure. Cracks started to appear on this top-tier immortal artifact.
The scattered True Fire of the Great Sun began to contract towards the interior of the Great Sun Golden Wheel, and the blazing sun extinguished in an instant.
Unobstructed by the Great Divine Power law, another beam of light that could open heavens and split the earth descended, manifesting a giant axe in the void capable of creating worlds.
Bearing the pressure of the Highest Heaven Emperor, whether it be the will of the Heavenly Immortal or the Great Sun, both shattered into pieces under that opening light, and the Seal of Opening Heaven with Talisman was now near the Vermilion Sun Stars Official.
The terrifying threat made the Vermilion Sun Stars Official’s spirit shudder, and the backlash from the shattering will of the Heavenly Immortal caused his flesh to collapse, with trails of blood seeping from every orifice.
Cradling the Great Sun Golden Wheel in his arms, a hoarse and ragged voice erupted from the Vermilion Sun Stars Official’s throat.
"Shatter!"
In an instant, the supreme grade immortal artifact, the Great Sun Golden Wheel, shattered thunderously, collapsing inward like a star headed towards extinction to the extreme, followed by an outburst of True Fire of the Great Sun that had accumulated over countless eons, and the blessing of the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor erupted at that moment.
Like the explosion of a supernova, endless True Fire of the Great Sun surged forth, covering every inch of the land sealed by Shen Yuan.
Mountains melted, and extreme heat and pressure obliterated everything on the face of the earth.
After cooling, the entire land would become a single, solid crystal.
Above the firmament, all combustibles were engulfed, and even the stable space of the Primal Chaos Realm melted under the scorching sun.
The exploding supernova continued to collide violently, instantly breaking through the worlds seal laid down by Shen Yuan and appearing outside of the Primal Chaos Realm.
"It worked!"
The Vermilion Sun Stars Official’s expression was exhilarated, with a hint of surprise showing on his face.
This Upper World Divine General stood at the center of the supernova’s explosion, his celestial armor completely melted and fused with his torn flesh to form a metallic human figure.
As the master of the Great Sun Golden Wheel Immortal Artifact and an official bestowed by the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor, he had immense resistance to the True Fire of the Great Sun. Yet, even he could not avoid being gravely injured by the explosive power of an immortal artifact akin to a supernova.
However, the Vermilion Sun Stars Official paid no heed to his own injuries, his entire focus now on the shattered seals of heaven and earth around him, as he had already achieved his goal of breaking through them.
A talisman emerged from his mouth, turning into a golden beam that instantly pierced through the Great Primal Chaos Realm amidst the supernova’s cover, heading towards the neighboring realm.
This was a Divinity Path talisman, employing the Incense Offering Divinity Path network that connected the various realms as a medium. Once sent out, not even a Major Heavenly Immortal could hope to intercept it.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to foresee the scene of the Golden Immortal of all spells arriving in the Primal Chaos Realm to strike down Shen Yuan, the insurgent, with a hidden smile on his lips.
"Oh? Is this your last resort?"
A casual voice echoed by the ear of the Vermilion Sun Stars Official, followed by the sound of the Great Resounding Bell, as imperceptible ripples quietly spread to the heavens and earth within ten thousand miles.
The Vermilion Sun Stars Official could only see a phantom resembling the Divinity Path Emperor sitting above the dimensions, his right hand holding a flowing, ancient bronze bell that exuded the breath of history, from which the bell’s sound emanated.
The next moment, an incredibly horrifying scene unfolded.
The Divinity Path talisman that had initially broken through the boundary reappeared before the Vermilion Sun Stars Official, its speed following the Divinity Path network so fast that even the Vermilion Sun Stars Official couldn’t react in time before it returned to him.
After that, the expanding supernova began to contract, as everything reversed like time flowing backward.
The crystallized earth returned to its original state, the molten space was repaired, and even the wounds on the Vermilion Sun Stars Official’s body, along with the shattered Great Sun Golden Wheel, returned to their initial condition.
Under the reversal of time, everything was restored to its original state, and the desperate seal of heaven and earth once again obscured everything from the Vermilion Sun Stars Official’s view.
"How is this possible!"
Incredulous words escaped from the mouth of the Vermilion Sun Stars Official.
As a Divine General of the Upper World, he had heard of Time Divine Power, and among The Eight Bureaus of Heavenly Court, the Years Division had several canonical gods who were adept in Time Divine Power.
But the Time Divine Power of the canonical gods of the Years Division was mainly geared towards adjusting the four seasons and weather, nowhere near reversing time on such a large scale. Even Jiazi Taisui, who had already ascended to the Eternal Realm, could not achieve this feat.
However, what the Vermilion Sun Stars Official didn’t know was that Shen Yuan, who had just used the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power, was also startled by the time reversal over ten thousand miles.
His original intention was merely to prevent the spread of the Divinity Path talisman by using the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power, but upon considering the completion of Emperor Fengdu’s incorporeal persona, he had the sudden inspiration to use the Great Tao Manifestation to carry Emperor Fengdu’s incorporeal persona and deploy the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power.
This action thoroughly unleashed the power that the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power should have possessed.
Time Divine Power itself belongs to the higher Divine Skills, with only those who ascend to Highest Heaven qualifying to leap out of the river of history and look down upon the ages.
The pantheon position of Highest Heaven itself symbolizes transcendence over time, and Shen Yuan, commanding the nearly complete Divinity Path Emperor’s incorporeal persona with the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power, far exceeded the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
The bronze Ancient Bell that appeared in the hands of the Great Tao Manifestation was its proof.
Seemingly calm and composed, Shen Yuan’s gaze fell upon the stunned Vermilion Sun Stars Official, conveying a hint of scrutiny.
His first use of the complete Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power was not fully under control, causing both the state of the Vermilion Sun Stars Official and the shattered Great Sun Golden Wheel to be restored to their original condition.
However, even if the Vermilion Sun Stars Official shattered the Immortal Artifact again, it would not affect the outcome, as the completion of Emperor Fengdu’s incorporeal persona already qualified Shen Yuan to look down upon Heavenly Immortals.
After a moment of stunned silence, the Vermilion Sun Stars Official’s expression suddenly turned ferocious.
"Do you think you have won?"
"I still have one last chance!"
In an instant, it seemed as if a supreme intent from the depths of the cosmos was about to awaken within the Vermilion Sun Stars Official, with a heavy sense of unease rising from the bottom of Shen Yuan’s heart.
"I am a Divine General under the banner of Donghua Shaoyang Emperor, and one of the subordinate gods birthed by the Sun Star, who has attained the Tao through the Emperor’s enlightenment."
"Today, I am willing to burn myself up to invoke a strand of the divine consciousness left by the Emperor before his slumber, and to execute you, this traitorous rebel!"
Golden flames burned from the Vermilion Sun Stars Official’s body, and that supreme will became increasingly solidified, as if it would descend into the Great Primal Chaos Realm at any moment.
Shen Yuan tried to invoke the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power, but at this moment, the Vermilion Sun Stars Official seemed to have become a void in time and space, utterly impossible for time to be reversed.
Not anticipating that the Donghua Emperor would have left such a contingency, Shen Yuan was even prepared to enter the river of history at any moment.
The scene was deathly silent, the golden flames continued to burn fiercely, and even consumed more than half of the Vermilion Sun Stars Official’s body. The supreme will remained on the verge of descent but never took that final step.
As the moment progressed, even the Vermilion Sun Stars Official finally realized the situation, his ecstasy frozen on his face.
"Your Highness Emperor, what’s the matter?"
