Chapter 697 697: The Great Sun Descends from the Sky!
Martial Saint!
Also known as a Martial Sage!
And the gap between a Saint and a non-Saint is too vast, like the difference between the heavens and the earth, or clouds and mud! Especially when a Saint unfolds their Sacred Domain, they can almost effortlessly crush any Martial Artist who has not set foot on the Dao of Saints!
Below the Saints, all are but ants! That is no empty talk.
Zhong Shenxi was now extremely confident. In his view, he was already a Saint, truly Transcendent and entering the sacred realm, vastly different in the essence of life compared to the Innate and Semi-Saints!
A Saint! Their lifespan reaches a thousand years! If one has special Cultivation Techniques or life-extending Elixirs, they could even live two to three thousand years! They can sit and watch the seas turn into mulberry fields, and look down upon the rise and fall of dynasties! This is true transcendence indeed!
BOOM!
A roaring sound filled the heavens and earth. Zhong Shenxi, enveloped in golden light, looked down upon Qin Heng and said, "Qin Xuantian, if you kneel down and beg for my forgiveness now, perhaps I will leave you an intact corpse. Otherwise, under the Fire of Sun God, you will turn to ashes on the spot. Even if you are a reincarnation of a powerful ancient being, you are far too weak now. Below a Saint, all are but ants, and you, being merely Innate, are an ant! Kneel!"
This voice, like ten thousand thunders rumbling in unison or the decree of a God, shook the heavens and earth!
At the same time, behind Zhong Shenxi, fiercely golden flames surged like great rivers, spanning the night sky of Changping City. It turned night into day and suddenly raised the city's temperature by dozens of degrees!
Hot! Searing hot!
The air temperature immediately rose to over eighty degrees after Zhong Shenxi released the true power of a Saint—a temperature ordinary people simply could not endure! Many ordinary people outdoors instantly blistered and their skin began to rot. Grease seeped from their split skin, and they collapsed in severe pain. But the ground was even hotter, like being scorched by fire, and they screamed again in agony! Even those indoors weren't much better off, suffering serious injuries. The golden river of fire flowed in the sky, threatening to turn all of Changping City into a volcanic hell!
In such a catastrophe, ordinary people had absolutely no ability to resist. With temperatures rising to over eighty degrees, it was practically the end of the world!
In just a few seconds, people were already seriously injured, some even on the brink of death!
"This is bad!"
"Save the people!"
"Damn it, Zhong Shenxi has gone mad!"
"This is the city!"
The members of the Myth Organization were shocked. Seeing the calamity in Changping City, they immediately began the rescue—protecting this land and its people was their purpose and commitment.
"Foolishness!" Zhong Shenxi glanced at the members of the Myth Organization and sneered. "What's the use of saving these ants? They're all doomed to die sooner or later!"
Then, he turned to Qin Heng and said in a deep voice, "Qin Xuantian, why haven't you knelt yet? Do you really need me to take action myself? If I do, you will be utterly destroyed, body and soul!"
These people are suffering terribly, Qin Heng thought, looking down at Changping City below, at those seriously injured by the high temperatures. He then turned his gaze to Zhong Shenxi and said, "This pain should not be theirs to bear."
"What, are you going to bear this suffering in their place?" Zhong Shenxi laughed. "Hahaha! Qin Xuantian, I didn't expect you to have the makings of a bald monk!"
"No! It's you who should bear it!" Qin Heng also laughed, but his laughter was chillingly cold. He formed a spell with his fingers, gathered his Mana, and extended a fingertip towards Zhong Shenxi, saying indifferently, "I have a Spell here. You might want to give it a try!"
As he pointed, the hidden laws of the universe were triggered, and the rules of heaven and earth were pried apart. Qin Heng's fingertip seemed to be an oar stirring the river of fate. With a gentle stroke, he caused destiny's trajectory to deviate!
Instantly, all the ordinary people who had been severely injured by the high temperature recovered completely. They couldn't even remember being injured, as if time had flowed backward! And all the harm they had endured was transferred, following destiny's deviation, to Zhong Shenxi!
SIZZLE!
The majestic Saint, the Martial Saint of the Sun Temple, suddenly had enormous blisters erupt on his face. His skin became completely rotten, emitting steam and even the scent of cooking flesh!
"AAAH!! Damn it! Damn it all!" Zhong Shenxi screamed in agony. He, a Saint who cultivated the "Sun God Golden Crow Dharma Phenomenon Secret Manual," was astonishingly scalded by the high temperature!
All the Semi-Saints, Innates, and members of the Myth Organization present, including Lu Ziyi, were completely stunned, looking towards Qin Heng in disbelief!
That finger-point from Qin Xuantian just now... that finger-point?!
He transferred all the injuries of everyone in Changping City onto Zhong Shenxi! How is this possible?!
Inconceivable! Truly too inconceivable!
Such a maneuver was beyond their comprehension, even unimaginable. The manipulation of destiny, diverting fate's path—these were not mortal methods at all!
An Immortal Technique!
After comprehending many Supreme Laws, Qin Heng was, to some extent, able to break through mortal boundaries and employ an Immortal Technique despite being only at the peak of the Qi Refinement Cultivation Realm! Of course, the power of the Immortal Technique was greatly diminished, but it was more than enough to crush Zhong Shenxi!
"How does it taste?" Qin Heng sneered, looking at the screaming Zhong Shenxi. "If you kneel and apologize to the people of Changping City right now, I might still leave you an intact corpse!"
"AAAH! Qin Xuantian, you're courting death!" Zhong Shenxi roared in rage!
He was nearly crazed, tearing the flesh from his face with his hand. With his true energy circulating, new flesh grew rapidly in seconds. But then, more injuries were transferred to him, causing his skin to blister and rot again!
"AAAAH! I will kill you!"
Facing this constant transference of injuries, Zhong Shenxi was almost mad. As he roared, the flames he released became even more terrifying!
The golden glow lit up the night sky brilliantly. He opened his right hand and reached for the heavens. Suddenly, endless golden light converged into his palm, forming a golden orb!
Dazzling, blinding, scorching, brilliant! It simply looked like a golden sun!
"Qin Xuantian! Perish!" Zhong Shenxi roared, enduring the pain. He locked onto Qin Heng with his Saintly Spiritual Sense and, with an overturning palm strike, smashed the small golden sun towards Qin Heng!
BOOM!
The firmament seemed to collapse. The moment the golden orb left Zhong Shenxi's palm, the night sky—once illuminated like daylight by the great golden sun—suddenly darkened as if all light in the world had vanished!
Immediately afterward, the small golden sun burst with fury. The sky, just plunged into darkness, suddenly brightened again. But the original golden sun was no more, replaced by incredibly vivid scarlet flames that filled the heavens and earth!
A Three-legged Golden Crow suddenly appeared, soaring skyward, flapping its wings and crying out. Scorching heat swept across hundreds of kilometers in an instant, as if intending to burn this part of heaven and earth to ashes!
At the same time, the ground cracked, roads shattered in every direction, overpasses collapsed, and high-rise buildings began to tumble!
The endless red light swiftly converged, with the Three-legged Golden Crow diving into its center. Soon, from the sky above, a red sun plummeted, illuminating the world and shining in all directions!
Simultaneously, it hurtled towards Qin Heng, smashing down fiercely!
