Chapter 454: Nine Divine Suns?

No one was there to block his retreat.

Suddenly, Shen Daoxing put all his strength into the Great Ming Demon Sparrow he wielded.

CLANG!

He struck the Divine Sun Sword hard, his body pausing for an instant before he used the recoil to shoot backward with a WHOOSH.

The next moment,

BOOM!

A deafening explosion erupted.

The few Great Suns slammed into each other, striking only empty air. They exploded violently, scattering sparks in every direction.

"The Shattering Void Sword!"

Jun Wushuang froze when he saw the cyan Treasure Sword in Shen Daoxing's hand, and his expression immediately darkened.

The Shattering Void Sword was a Divine Soldier left behind by the founding ancestor of his Cyan Nether Sword Sect. As a disciple of Fusang Immortal Island, Jun Wushuang was well aware of this. He also knew that this Divine Soldier was supposed to be in the hands of Grand Elder Wang Guyuan.

High above, in the Martial Arts Arena of Pengze Hall, Vice Island Master Han was slightly taken aback when he saw the Treasure Sword in Shen Daoxing's hand. He then turned to Wang Guyuan beside him, his expression suddenly stern.

"Well done! Well done! Grand Elder Gu, you have some impressive methods, handing over the Divine Soldier left by the founder of my Cyan Nether Sword Sect to this brat. But is it really acceptable to so casually give a peerless Divine Soldier of the Cyan Nether Sword Sect to a mere outer sect disciple?!"

"Hehehehe!"

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan stroked his beard, unconcerned. "Hehehehe, and what about your Fusang Island? You gave Jun Wushuang the Divine Sun Sword, a Fusang Divine Soldier that only the Island Master is meant to possess. I'd say we're even."

Suddenly, the corner of Vice Island Master Han's mouth curled into a smirk, and he couldn't help but laugh. "Hehehehe, well then, Grand Elder Gu, do you really think a single Divine Soldier is enough to defeat our Jun Wushuang?"

And as Vice Island Master Han's words fell, below the clouds, Jun Wushuang's eyes narrowed as a brilliant golden light erupted from them.

RUMBLE!

His immense figure shot up from the ground, his hands suddenly thrusting toward the sky.

"Divine Sun Celestial Dao! Nine Days of Destruction!"

A majestic voice, devoid of any emotion, boomed from Jun Wushuang's lips.

Immediately, the colossal Great Suns rose high into the air, gathering above Jun Wushuang's hands. Even the fragments of the shattered suns flew up, piece by piece, to re-form around him.

In an instant, nine massive, fiery-red suns appeared in the sky simultaneously. They unleashed an endless, scorching heat that bathed the entire sky in a crimson glow.

SWOOSH!

Billowing waves of heat rolled up from the desert sands like a tsunami.

Suddenly, the desert erupted in roaring flames, turning it into a human Purgatory that incinerated everything in its path.

The Desert Poison Scorpions that had crawled out from beneath the sand shrieked, "TSSSSS!" They scurried about in a panic on the burning desert, their limbs beginning to curl from the heat.

In the shimmering haze, heaven and earth themselves seemed to twist and distort in the scorching flames.

BANG!

Under the searing heat of the nine suns hanging in the sky, Gu Muyun's already battered Nine Spirits Profound Umbrella exploded with a bang and burst into flames.

Already heavily injured on the ground below, she coughed up another large mouthful of blood, her face growing even more pallid.

"Sis! Are you okay?"

Gu Tianyao cried out in alarm and rushed to her side.

Facing the rolling waves of heat that washed over them,

"Charm Butterfly!"

Liu Ying hurriedly took a step forward. As her hand swept through the air, swarms of colorful butterflies suddenly flew out, forming a barrier above everyone's heads.

However, after only a moment, the butterflies in the sky ignited one after another, falling with a crackle and pop.

"Fall back!"

Liu Ying shouted, pulling the others as she hastily retreated. They fell back a great distance, not stopping until they were out of the desert entirely. Only then did the oppressive heat lessen, and they finally came to a halt.

Even the disciples watching from above the clouds could feel the rolling, scorching heat surging up from below, as if their very bodies were about to catch fire. They repeatedly raised the floating stones beneath their feet, ascending a significant distance before stopping. They stared, aghast, at the desert below, which now resembled a living Purgatory.

Even an elder from Yingzhou Immortal Island in the Pengze Hall Martial Arts Arena couldn't help but exclaim, "That's the Nine-Day Divine Sun! The Nine-Day Divine Sun! To think Jun Wushuang has already cultivated the Divine Sun Celestial Dao Divine Techniques to the stage of the Nine-Day Divine Sun! The ultimate realm of the Divine Sun Celestial Dao!"

Ordinary disciples might not have known, but as an elder of the Immortal Island, he was naturally aware that the technique Jun Wushuang was using was a top-secret Celestial Dao Divine Technique of Fusang Immortal Island, one that could not be learned by anyone other than the Fusang Island Master.

For the Fusang Island Master to have broken the rules and passed the Divine Sun Divine Techniques to Jun Wushuang, it was clear he was already being groomed as the next Island Master.

This Divine Sun Celestial Dao Divine Technique was immensely powerful and incredibly difficult to cultivate. It was said that the Fusang Island Master, Wei Wushang, had cultivated for over a century to reach the nine-sun stage.

Yet Jun Wushuang, at such a young age, had already cultivated the Divine Sun Celestial Dao Divine Techniques to the supreme nine-sun realm. He could truly be called a peerless prodigy of this era.

「Down below.」

"Divine Sun Celestial Dao! Nine Suns of All Heavens!"

Jun Wushuang roared.

High in the sky, the nine terrifying suns soared upward.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM…

Like meteors crashing to earth, they descended with world-ending power. The very heavens and earth trembled, and space itself began to warp.

RUMBLE!

A violent explosion rang out.

Shen Daoxing was violently slammed downward.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

...

One after another, the massive, sun-like fireballs hammered him deep into the desert.

Immediately, explosions erupted and flames shot to the heavens. It was as if nine enormous fire dragons had descended from the sky and crashed into one another, unleashing a brilliant flare of explosive light that surged upward.

In an instant, the surrounding sand melted into glass.

"Little Junior Brother!"

"Little Junior Brother!"

"Shen Daoxing!"

Wan Hai, Tang Yi, and Gu Tianyao all cried out in shock.

Gu Muyun and Liu Ying's expressions faltered, and their brows furrowed deeply.

Above the clouds, in the Martial Arts Arena of Pengze Hall, Grand Elder Wang Guyuan's brow suddenly creased. He took a step forward and leaped into the air, about to dive below the cloud layer.

However, he had barely taken a step when Vice Island Master Han blocked him with an outstretched arm.

"Hehehehe, Grand Elder Gu, the match isn't over yet, is it?"

Vice Island Master Han's indifferent voice rang out slowly.

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan couldn't help but fly into a rage. "This is no time to be worrying about a match! If this continues, someone is going to die!"

But at that very moment,

"Venerable Invincible, Serious Punch!"

Shen Daoxing's impassive voice suddenly rang out from beneath the desert sand.

The next moment, the nine massive suns that had crashed into the ground suddenly froze. Then, they violently exploded, sending a blast of fire and light surging toward the heavens.

A figure then shot out from the epicenter, leaping high into the sky. It was Shen Daoxing, emerging completely unscathed.

Jun Wushuang's mind went blank.

Vice Island Master Han's jaw dropped.

The Fusang elder stared, completely dumbfounded.

Everyone who saw this was stunned.

Even Grand Elder Wang Guyuan was taken aback for a moment.

"Right back at you!"

Shen Daoxing's cold voice rang out from the sky.

Then, he violently seized two of the massive suns with his bare hands. He lifted them high and, with a BANG, smashed them down on Jun Wushuang's head.
