Chapter 438 - 220: Slicing Celestial Sea City with a Sword
Seeing Li Hengsheng writhing in pain on the bed, curled up like a shrimp, Lu Shiran felt a bit anxious.
There was simply nothing that could be done in time.
"Husband, is there any solution?" Lu Shiran quickly asked.
But Li Hengsheng shook his head; the consequences must be endured head-on.
The Sun and Moon True Flame’s power was extremely strong. Given the current situation, things were already very good. Without the Divine Phoenix Bone, Li Hengsheng would have turned to ash by now.
Yet every cell in his body was still filled with the burning pain.
"Hot..."
It was both painful and hot.
Li Hengsheng felt his body getting hotter and hotter, like a furnace.
"Don’t let this get out," Li Hengsheng gritted his teeth and told Lu Shiran. The events at the Mu Mansion today were perfectly executed. With Mu Zhan dealt with, it would definitely intimidate the Hua family and Caohe Village.
If they found out about these severe side effects and word got out, someone from the Hua family might come after him, and that would be disastrous.
So it had to be kept secret.
"I understand."
Lu Shiran knew Li Hengsheng’s concerns.
"You haven’t eaten, right? Go eat first. I brought back some food from the Mu Mansion for you," Li Hengsheng said, his voice slightly hoarse.
"I’ll stay here with you, I’m not hungry," Lu Shiran shook her head. How could she have the heart to eat at a time like this?
"Go eat," Li Hengsheng insisted. "The more normal you act, the less suspicion there will be. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine soon enough."
"Alright then," Lu Shiran reluctantly agreed and went out to eat.
But when Lu Shiran returned from outside, she found Li Hengsheng’s entire body red, as if he had been burned by fire.
Earlier, he could still suppress it with Inner Strength, but once it was exhausted, Li Hengsheng could only rely on his strong will to endure the pain of the heat wave sweeping through his body.
Lu Shiran quickly brought in some water, stripped Li Hengsheng of his clothes, and repeatedly wiped his body with a towel soaked in cold water.
"Sizzle!"
The water evaporated rapidly upon contact with Li Hengsheng’s body, as if touching burning metal.
This terrified Lu Shiran.
And by now, Li Hengsheng had already slipped into unconsciousness.
"What kind of secret technique could have such enormous side effects?" Lu Shiran could hardly believe it.
Her own Heavenly Star Divine Body had already reached the Minor Achievement stage. Even the techniques she could perform had side effects, but they weren’t nearly as severe as Li Hengsheng’s.
Li Hengsheng’s exploits today reached even the distant ears of Li Changqing in Beihan City, through Zhen Wanshou.
"Sun and Moon True Flame?"
Li Changqing, reading the report, furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "What exactly is Sun and Moon True Flame?"
Beside him, Zhen Wanshou explained to Li Changqing, saying, "It’s the Sun and Moon Celestial Demon God Body."
"I had no idea your son had such a divine body!" Zhen Wanshou exclaimed in surprise. "I hadn’t noticed before, but your son’s divine body ranks among the top even in the Cangyuan Realm, where many divine bodies have appeared. The last owner of this divine body lived thousands of years ago, and who would’ve thought that in this generation, the Sun and Moon Celestial Demon God Body would be born again."
"The Sun and Moon True Flame is a divine power of the Sun and Moon Celestial Demon God Body. This flame is extremely powerful, notoriously feared by even Grandmasters. But for your son to wield it with a Postnatal Great Perfection body and still be alive, suffering only the backlash from the divine body, is quite astonishing," Zhen Wanshou analyzed.
"Backlash..."
Li Changqing was a bit worried.
He knew that with such a powerful flame, his son must be able to use it because of the Divine Phoenix Bone; otherwise, he would have been burned to death long ago.
Flames that even Grandmasters feared.
Such a thing would surely have a very strong backlash.
"Is there a solution?" Li Changqing looked at Zhen Wanshou, hoping he might know something given his vast knowledge.
"There’s none, one can only endure," Zhen Wanshou shrugged. "This is the backlash from the Sun and Moon True Flame, it’s not something ordinary that can be easily resolved. Just wait, with time, it will gradually lessen."
"I hope he’ll be alright."
Li Changqing sighed softly.
But he also understood, that today at the Mu Mansion, the Sun and Moon True Flame was used to incinerate Mu Zhan to intimidate the three factions.
Now, the Mu Mansion, the Hua family, and Caohe Village would surely not dare act rashly.
And all this was accomplished without anyone backing him, all done by his son alone.
Li Changqing also felt a bit gratified.
Cangyuan Realm, Celestial Sea City.
This place was known as the greatest city in the world.
Celestial Sea City was not on land, but truly on the sea.
And not just any sea, it was the true Sea of Heaven.
This ocean floated in mid-air, astonishing to behold.
It is also hailed as a miracle of the entire Cangyuan Realm.
Truly ruling Celestial Sea City is the master of the Cangyuan Realm, the Realm Master Cangyuan!
Every fifty years, the Realm Master Cangyuan is reselected, and the one who defeats the former master can become the new Realm Master, wielding the Cangyuan Seal.
But the current Realm Master, Jiang Tianyun, has been in place for many years, unwilling to relinquish the position.
This has sown a seed of doubt in the hearts of the people of the Cangyuan Realm.
Many rumors abound, with all sorts of speculations.
Meanwhile, outside Celestial Sea City,
a massive sea route stretches across the sky, soaring straight up from the ground, connecting directly to the city gates of Celestial Sea City.
