Chapter 391 - 38: Emperor Yi Shoots the Golden Crow—Sun-Shooting Arrow and Golden Crow Blood (Part 3)
The Flame Lion Emperor, the Golden Flame Sword Emperor, and the Green Flame Bone Emperor, who were following behind, were dumbfounded. Enveloped entirely by the aura of the Flame’s Secret Technique, they stood sixty li from the center of the mountain range, filled with disbelief.
"Could that kid and the Hundred Flowers Fairy have been burned to death together?"
The Flame Lion Emperor mumbled to himself.
"Probably not. The Yaochi Empress must have left some kind of safeguard on Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen were in danger, it would surely be activated. Since there’s no sign of anything happening, it clearly means Zhou Chen is fine!"
The Green Flame Bone Emperor analyzed.
The Golden Flame Sword Emperor nodded, astonished:
"In that case, could that Flying Ship truly resist the incineration of the True Sun Fire?"
"Hiss! Could it be that the Flying Ship is an Emperor’s Weapon?"
The Flame Lion Emperor was incredulous:
"But I don’t sense even a trace of imperial might; it definitely isn’t an Emperor’s Weapon!"
"It should be a unique treasure!"
The three Martial Emperors, both shocked and curious, were also somewhat eager to see what Zhou Chen intended to do at the mountain range’s center. Could there be some treasure inside?
Zhou Chen was unaware of the trio’s speculations as he had already reached the center of the Sunset Mountain Range.
There stood a tall, barren mountain.
The mountain body was fiery red, burning with unextinguishable flames.
These flames were the accompanying divine fire of the Divine Beast Golden Crow—the True Sun Fire.
The surface of the Celestial Ship glittered with five-colored radiance, impervious to evil. Despite the True Sun Fire’s burning, it remained unshaken.
Zhou Chen stood on the Celestial Ship’s deck, closing his eyes to feel.
He sensed a familiar yet strange powerful arrow intent.
He was sure that the Yi Arrow Skill was related to Emperor Yi.
A moment later.
A shadow of an arrow soul appeared behind Zhou Chen; it was the third deadly move of the Yi Arrow Skill—Sun-Shooting.
Buzz!
With the arrow soul’s appearance, the towering flame mountain before him began to tremble, countless rocks falling.
The entire Sunset Mountain Range was shaking.
"What’s happening?"
"What’s going on?"
"Could the Earth Dragon be turning over?"
One figure after another rose into the sky, looking puzzled.
The three Martial Emperors in the Sunset Mountain Range’s inner circle widened their eyes and stared intensely at the center of the mountain range. Unfortunately, the pervasive True Sun Fire made it hard for their gaze and spiritual sense to penetrate.
"Legend has it that Emperor Yi shot down the Golden Crow here. Could Zhou Chen have found Emperor Yi’s inheritance or treasure inside?"
The three exchanged glances, each with their own guesses.
Given the commotion Zhou Chen caused upon entering, they refused to believe it unless he had found some treasure.
They had cultivated in this area for tens of thousands of years without ever seeing the Sunset Mountain Range shake.
Bang!
As countless rocks fell, Zhou Chen’s eyes widened in amazement when he saw that the mountain blazing with fierce True Sun Fire revealed a giant flaming red spear!
The spearhead pointed upwards, seemingly tinged with golden blood. Just a glance at it emitted a terrifying sharpness and heat.
The sharpness came from the spearhead, and the heat came from the golden blood.
"No!"
"This isn’t a spear, this is an arrow!"
Zhou Chen immediately realized that this giant spear, reaching a thousand zhang in height and several zhang in diameter, like a pillar propping up the sky, was most likely the arrow that Emperor Yi used to shoot down the Golden Crow!
The Sun-Shooting Arrow!
The golden blood was the Golden Crow’s blood, hence the intense heat!
Buzz!
At this moment, countless True Sun Fire around seemed to sense its source, pouring into the Golden Crow blood.
The previously fire-filled sea of flames vanished, leaving only the towering Sun-Shooting Arrow piercing the skies.
The Golden Crow blood on the arrowhead absorbed the surrounding True Sun Fire, becoming increasingly dazzling and brilliant.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Flame Lion Emperor, the Golden Flame Sword Emperor, and the Green Flame Bone Emperor appeared immediately before it.
They saw the Sun-Shooting Arrow and the Golden Crow blood at a glance, their eyes gleaming brightly.
As fire-type Martial Emperors, the Golden Crow blood was an ultimate treasure for them. It might not make them emperors, but it could at least elevate them to the Martial Emperor Peak!
By refining the Golden Crow blood, they could even birth the Golden Crow bloodline, master the True Sun Fire, undergo a fundamental transformation, and see their combat power soar!
They dared not touch Zhou Chen, but they weren’t going to hand over such a treasure willingly.
Without any hesitation.
The three simultaneously charged toward the Sun-Shooting Arrow.
In their minds, there was only one thought:
"Seize it!"
