Ch. 485 - Acquiring Solar-Illumination

As the coldness spread throughout Xu Zimo’s body, the warmth on his skin began to fade.

Xu Zimo felt as if he were in the breeze of an April spring, his body felt inexplicably comfortable.

He looked in the direction of the earlier roar and started walking step by step.

Along the way, flames blazed, the ground was scorching hot, and the sky was filled with thick smoke.

Not long after, Xu Zimo saw creatures starting to appear from the surrounding flames.

These creatures seemed to be formed of fire, yet no matter how he looked, he couldn’t tell if they were real or not.

It was as if they were living beings of flesh and blood.

At first, the creatures were weak, rabbits, elephants, lions, tigers.

But the farther Xu Zimo walked, the stronger the monsters became.

Xu Zimo even saw the ten great divine beasts, as well as ancient mutated species and mythological monsters.

Soul Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Dark Phoenix, Undying Bird...

Countless creatures long extinct and forgotten through time all appeared here.

Holding Shadow Tyrant, with Chaos by his side, Xu Zimo advanced forward through them.

Blade energy surged from Shadow Tyrant like a purgatory storm. These beasts left no corpses when killed, they simply turned into flames and disappeared.

As he fought his way through, Xu Zimo was covered in wounds, his whole body drenched in blood like a man made of flesh and blood alone.

Finally, a palace appeared ahead of him.

A fiery-red palace, almost entirely surrounded and burning in flames.

In front of the palace, it was eerily quiet, not a single beast in sight.

When Xu Zimo reached the palace gate, a loud boom echoed.

The flames around the palace surged violently, as if provoked.

They gathered together and incinerated the surrounding space.

The fire loomed down from the sky, turning the entire heavens into a fiery red.

The burning heat crashed toward Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo held Shadow Tyrant and used the Thirteenth Form of Dao-Seeking, Imperial Wrath.

The furious blade aura soared to the sky and collided with the flames.

With another loud boom, Shadow Tyrant trembled slightly, and the flames were extinguished.

But Xu Zimo’s body was also blown backward.

He steadied himself, frowning, staring straight ahead.

A pressure as ancient as time itself emanated from within the palace.

“Ant, hand over what you’re holding, and I might spare your life.”

……

“Are you afraid of it?” Xu Zimo looked at the small Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow beast in his hand and smiled.

“This isn’t something you should be touching,” said the voice from the palace.

“Should I call you Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination or Holy God?” Xu Zimo asked with a grin.

“A name is just a title. Creature, what do you want?” Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination asked.

“You should understand, since I’ve come this far, there’s no way I’m turning back,” Xu Zimo said, shaking his head.

“Ridiculous. Do you think you can subdue me with your strength?” Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination snorted. “Even if a Grand Emperor descended today, I wouldn’t care.”

“A Grand Emperor wouldn’t work. But some things will,” Xu Zimo said, smiling.

“Nonsense.” The voice in the palace let out a heavy snort.

Suddenly, an overwhelming pressure descended.

This pressure carried an unstoppable force. As it came down, Xu Zimo felt his blood freeze.

His entire strength was sealed, as if his meridians were locked.

He stood frozen in place, unable to move.

It felt like this pressure was going to crush him into dust, constantly squeezing his body.

His bones made creaking sounds.

As the pressure fell, the sky above turned blood red.

Xu Zimo noticed that within this red sky, two suns had appeared.

They weren’t illusions or projections, they were real, tangible suns.

The moment the two suns appeared, the Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow in Xu Zimo’s hand flew out.

It turned into a gray-white beam of light and shot toward one of the suns.

Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination roared, furious: “Primal Sage, are you insane? What did that kid give you to make you do this?”

The Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow didn’t respond.

It moved so fast it was like a flash of light, slamming into the sun formed by Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination.

Only then did Xu Zimo feel his body loosen. The pressure disappeared.

“These ancient monsters really aren’t easy to deal with,” he muttered.

He watched as the Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow and Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination fought.

The sky split in two, one half fiery red, the other gray-white.

Neither side had the upper hand for now, both constantly transforming and manifesting various forms.

That’s why Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination hadn’t made the first move earlier, otherwise, it wouldn’t have wasted words with Xu Zimo and would’ve killed him outright.

……

Seeing this, the spiritforce behind Xu Zimo surged.

A blue planet slowly rose behind him.

In his True Fate World, Xu Zimo slowly summoned the Primordial Chaos Bead.

This Primordial Chaos Bead was usually hidden in the void. No one but Xu Zimo could find it.

When it appeared, it released a silent pressure.

Its surface was illusory, but inside it radiated divine light, auspicious clouds, and the cries of thousands of god beasts... It contained the evolution of countless worlds.

The moment the Primordial Chaos Bead appeared, the Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow and Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination sensed something.

Both glanced toward Xu Zimo. Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow showed no reaction, but Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination’s expression changed dramatically.

“Primal Sage, you tricked me!” Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination shouted in shock. “How can that thing appear? How is it possible? Impossible, this makes no sense!”

As it screamed, Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination ignored everything else and fled toward the edge of space.

It tried to escape through layer after layer of the void.

But the Primordial Chaos Bead was faster. Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow blocked Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination’s path.

Then, the Primordial Chaos Bead began to tremble, releasing a ray of light that shone on Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination.

The moment the light appeared, Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination’s body froze midair.

It was completely still, unable to move.

“I knew it. I knew the moment I saw that thing, I couldn’t escape,” Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination roared in anger.

Only now did Xu Zimo clearly see Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination’s true form.

Just like Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow, it was a small beast.

But while Supreme-Yin Nether-Glow was silver-white, this one was fiery red.

……

Then, the Primordial Chaos Bead released endless light.

Amid Supreme-Yang Solar-Illumination’s howls, both beasts were taken through layers of space and brought into Xu Zimo’s True Fate World.

As they entered together, a loud boom echoed, and Xu Zimo stood frozen in place.
