With their Chief Manager's reminder, Chen Tian Fei and the others quickly used their eyes to look towards the sun. Sure enough, there really was something inside.
A blurry figure jumped about in the sun like a living creature, occasionally stopping to adjust its wings while exuding a faint ominous aura, giving off an indescribable sense of horror.
“It looks like a bird!” Lady Qin frowned. The sun’s light was too dazzling, so even if she carefully observed it, she couldn’t see what it was.
“There’s something wrong with this thing, how come it has three legs?” Chen Tian Fei also had a puzzled look on his face, but as soon as he spoke, his expression suddenly changed.
The Chief Manager's solemn voice rang out from the front, “Three-legged strange bird, related to the sun. Junior, you have great skill, great skill. Indeed, every generation has a genius, haha!”
Lady Qin covered her red lips with her hand, causing Bei Yushan to be dumbfounded. Even someone as stupid as him had thought of what that strange bird was, let alone others.
“Three legged Golden Crow!” The Ouyang Brothers shouted in unison.
The Fire Element power Yang Kai had condensed was not Sun's True Gold of Sun's True Fire, but Golden Crow True Fire. Thinking back to the black flames surrounding his body and the characteristics of his Manifestation, it undoubtedly proved everyone’s guess.
It was the Golden Crow True Fire! This thought caused everyone to jump in fright.
Chen Tian Fei’s body was covered in sweat as he asked in a trembling voice, “Chief Manager, what grade is this Golden Crow True Fire?”
When they saw Yang Kai condense his Divine Ability, everyone thought he possessed the power of a Seventh Grade Fire Element, but now it seemed it wasn't just a Seventh Grade Fire Element. Moreover, the fact that he could condense Golden Crow True Fire meant that Yang Kai had once encountered a Golden Crow, a terrifying existence on par with the True Dragon. Only a High Rank Open Heaven Stage could resist such a terrifying creature. Since this boy had encountered a Golden Crow, why hadn’t he died? What kind of heaven-defying opportunity was this?
The Chief Manager said, “That depends on whether the Golden Crow corpse he encountered is an adult Great Golden Crow or an underaged Little Golden Crow. If it’s the latter, it should be a Seventh Grade Golden Crow, if it’s the former… it should be an Eighth Grade Golden Crow!”
Chen Tian Fei’s body trembled, “I heard that when the Sun Star was extinguished, there was a Golden Crow that was on the verge of death that was eventually obtained by The First Inn’s owner. Could it be that this little brat condensed that Golden Crow’s True Fire?”
“Is this news true?” The Chief Manager turned his head and asked. In recent years, he had been in secluded cultivation, attempting to break through to the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage, so he didn’t know much about the outside world.
“The news is absolutely correct,” Chen Tian Fei said seriously.
The Chief Manager nodded lightly, “Golden Crow True Fire is hard to come by in ten thousand years. This little brat only has the cultivation of an Emperor Realm, so it shouldn’t be long before he can condense his Fire Element. If that’s the case, his Golden Crow True Fire might really come from that Great Golden Crow.”
“Eighth Grade!” Chen Tian Fei’s face was pale as he asked, “Then what does he have to do with The First Inn's owner?”
The news he received was that the Golden Crow’s corpse had been obtained by The First Inn's owner. At that time, many people from the Cave Heaven and Paradise had come to compete for it, and more than one High Rank Open Heaven Stage cultivator had appeared. The First Inn had been completely destroyed, and in the end, The First Inn’s owner had been the one who had obtained the Golden Crow’s corpse and safely take it away.
If Yang Kai had nothing to do with that person, how could he have obtained this Golden Crow True Fire?
On this point, the Chief Manager was also extremely puzzled. He had never heard of this person having any descendants.
“I don’t think so!” The Chief Manager slowly shook his head, “Eighth Grade Golden Crow True Fire is not something that an Emperor Realm master can withstand. Even if that person obtained the Golden Crow’s corpse, if he were to give it to a junior disciple, the grade of the Golden Crow’s True Fire would definitely be lower, otherwise it would be harming him.”
“Chief Manager's words are reasonable!” Chen Tian Fei nodded repeatedly. Even so, it was still too frightening.
However, Lady Qin thought of another possibility and muttered, “Since he can condense a Seventh Grade Fire Element force, doesn’t that mean he at least have a Wood Element of Sixth or Seventh Grade?”
If it was just an ordinary Fire Element force, it would have been fine, for someone like Meng Hong who had broken through and reconstructed his foundation, he could directly condense a Fifth Grade Sun's True Fire. As long as his aptitude was good enough and his Dao Seal was stable, there would be no problem.
However, how terrifying was the Golden Crow True Fire? If one didn’t have enough power to restore and suppress it, their Dao Seal would be instantly incinerated and destroyed. On the other hand, the Wood Element that could make up for the damage caused by the Golden Crow True Fire and suppress the Golden Crow True Fire, had to be at least a Sixth Grade force. It was extremely likely that he has a Seventh Grade force, otherwise it would be impossible for him to condense it successfully.
Seventh Grade Wood Element and Seventh Grade Fire Element, Yang Kai’s intentions were clear. He wanted to directly become a High Rank Open Heaven master!
“Your ambitions are too high, we are inferior!” The Chief Manager slowly shook his head, his straight figure suddenly becoming a bit hunched, as if he had lost all hope.
As they spoke, the newly formed sun behind Yang Kai completely stabilized, emitting a dazzling light. As the Great Sun Manifestation appeared, the figure that was being forced back by the Starry Sky Great Array also slowly came to a stop.
Ten meters away, Luo Qingyun stared at him in shock.
Yang Kai grinned at him and formed a hand seal, “Today, the Golden Crow has come to cast its sun. Up into the Heavens, Down into the Earth, it reigns supreme!”
The Golden Crow’s hoarse cry resounded through the sky, piercing through the world as it flapped its wings in the sun. Yang Kai’s figure merged into the sun as he suddenly transformed into a small sun and smashed towards the huge sword beam.
Carrying the power of his newly born Great Sun Manifestation, he single-handedly attacked the Starry Sky Great Array without fear!
Luo Qingyun’s eyelids twitched violently as he forcefully recovered from his shock and roared, “So what if you have a Manifestation? Even if the real Golden Crow is here, I’ll kill it for you to see, let alone a Manifestation!”
These words were undoubtedly to bolster his courage. Not to mention the Starry Sky Great Array formed by the three hundred people, even if there were three thousand or thirty thousand people, if they really encountered a Golden Crow, it wouldn’t be enough for them with a mouthful of Golden Crow True Fire.
However, when the two great forces met, the brave would win. Now that things had reached this point, only by advancing courageously would they have a chance of survival.
Sword Qi surged and the Great Array rumbled as the auras of the three hundred disciples were closely linked together, their strength overlapping as their Sword Light erupted and collided with the Great Sun.
Two rays of light tore through the world, shaking the universe and overturning the four poles.
The strange thing was that when the collision occurred, it was silent.
However, in the next moment, the clouds in a radius of ten thousand kilometers suddenly collapsed, causing the world to tremble violently as an unimaginable shockwave spread out from the point of impact.
The Thunder Light Disciple was sent flying back and forth while the weaker ones spat out mouthfuls of blood as they fell to the ground, instantly suffering heavy casualties. Zhu Li and Long Tai’s hearts were dripping blood as they watched this scene. This was truly a disaster. After this battle, the Thunder Light Disciple’s vitality would be greatly damaged and it was unknown how many years it would take to recover.
Outside the Star City, on the great protective array, a brilliant light flashed, undoubtedly caused by the aftermath of Yang Kai and the Sword Pavilion’s battle.
“Emperor Realm condensing a Manifestation!” The Chief Manager’s eyes were filled with fear and his tone was filled with an indescribable feeling, “With this Manifestation, this child can directly confront a First Order or Second Order Open Heaven Stage, even if a Third Order wants to kill him, it won’t be easy!”
No one had ever been able to condense a Manifestation in the Emperor Realm. Since ancient times, even the elite Core Disciples who had been raised in the Cave Heaven and Paradise had to slowly explore and comprehend their own Manifestation after reaching the Open Heaven Stage.
If that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t have been so difficult to obtain a Manifestation, but once it was formed, one’s strength would increase dramatically. The same Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage, with a Manifestation, there was a huge difference between them. It could be said that in a life or death battle, a Manifestation could easily crush those without it.
Chen Tian Fei and the others all wore solemn expressions. The Chief Manager had always been known for his sharp eyesight, so since he had said so, it couldn’t be wrong. In other words, the current Yang Kai was equivalent to a First Order or Second Order Open Heaven Stage master!
Such an existence could only be described as invincible in the Great Ruins Boundary.
If the Sword Pavilion didn’t have a Sword Array, these three hundred people wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between Yang Kai’s teeth.
Even so, the Sword Array was still being pushed back by the Sun’s pressure, and the huge sword beam was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, its light gradually dimming.
Star City was in an uproar.
When the Sword Pavilion Sword Array appeared, it had always been invincible, but at this moment, it was actually not Yang Kai’s opponent!
A single person’s strength was actually this powerful?
“Impossible, how can you be so strong?” Luo Qingyun roared, his face contorting.
In the great sun, Yang Kai’s mocking voice rang out, “You’re too weak!”
To be honest, Yang Kai didn’t expect himself to be able to achieve such a feat. During this period of time, he had been in seclusion trying to comprehend a Divine Ability. Although he had gained some insights, he had always felt that he was lacking something. Now that he had encountered such a situation today, he suddenly had an idea. He wanted to use this life and death struggle to stimulate his potential and see if he could break through this shackle and comprehend a Divine Ability.
If that wasn’t the case, how could he be so foolish as to charge into the camp of thousands of people by himself? With Lu Xue in his hands, he could easily choose another method to resolve this crisis.
Unexpectedly, not only had Yang Kai comprehended a Divine Ability, but he had also created a Manifestation. Yang Kai still didn’t know that his Manifestation had been formed, only thinking that the Sun Casting Golden Crow was a pure Divine Ability.
After all, no one had told him about this before. He hadn’t been here for long, and although the Proprietress had treated him well, she probably hadn’t expected him to grow so quickly.
At this moment, Yang Kai could clearly feel his strength rising sharply, bringing with it the power of a great sun. Even if there is a Low Rank Open Heaven Stage in front of him, Yang Kai could still kill it.
“I don’t believe you!” Luo Qingyun was enraged, and a bloody mist burst out from his body as his aura once again surged. He was the core of the Sword Array, so his enhancement on the Sword Array was extremely great.
Judging from his state, it was obvious that he had used some kind of powerful Secret Technique to stimulate his potential. Although this Secret Technique was extremely powerful, it was not something that could be casually used, and once it was used, it would bring about endless disaster.
However, in order to deal with Yang Kai and protect the face of Sword Pavilion, Luo Qingyun couldn’t care less.
As he did so, the hundreds of disciples in the Sword Array all let out a muffled groan and suddenly felt a great pressure on their bodies. However, the power of the Sword Array increased dramatically and in the blink of an eye, it was on par with the Great Sun.
