Chapter 1865: Plucking the Sun with Bare Hands

In the desolate desert, a dozen or so figures flickered in and out of sight.

Ji Xun, leave the Vermilion Bird True Blood behind!

Your secret art must be at its limit by now, right?

More than a dozen strong men pursued relentlessly, chasing him who knew how many tens of thousands of miles.

Ji Xun was panicked and uncertain, truly at the end of his rope.

Finally, those dozen or so figures caught up to Ji Xun, sealing off all his escape routes.

Hey, Ji Xun, you're badly injured, you can't escape!

Hand over the Vermilion Bird True Blood quickly, and we'll spare your life!

Although Ji Xun had a deep background, at this moment, who would care about him as a city lord?

Ji Xun's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "If you want the Vermilion Bird True Blood, come and get it if you have the skill!"

Hmph! Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!

The dozen or so figures swarmed in, engaging in fierce combat.

Although Ji Xun was a True God at the seventh level, he couldn't bring his true strength to bear at this moment, and being outnumbered, how could he be a match for these people?

Pfft!

A blade plunged straight into his abdomen, completely extinguishing his vitality.

The True God strongman holding the blade sneered, "You're asking for death, so don't blame me!"

Just then, a strange smile appeared on Ji Xun's lips, and the True God strongman sensed something amiss.

Watch out!

The dozen or so men were about to search him when Ji Xun's body suddenly exploded, a massive wave of energy violently radiating outward.

The dozen or so were blasted into disarray, each severely injured.

The True God strongman holding the blade was directly blown to ashes.

Nine Yang Thunderburst Talisman! Dammit... dammit! We've been tricked!

After chasing for so long, this was actually one of his avatars!

...

At this moment, in a remote underground spot in the desert, Ji Xun's entire body was buried in sand.

He had carved out a small space underground and hidden there.

His aura was now weak and dispirited, but as he looked at the jade box in his hand, his eyes gleamed.

Hey, to get you, I even abandoned my avatar that I had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years! With this Vermilion Bird True Blood, I will surely break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm and become a supreme ruler! Ye Yuan, you killed Han'er right in front of me, and I will make you suffer beyond measure!

The thought of Ye Yuan ignited Ji Xun's boundless fury.

If it weren't for Ye Yuan killing Zhuo Han at the critical moment, shaking his mind, he wouldn't have been ambushed, and obtaining this jade box wouldn't have cost so much effort.

That avatar, which he had obtained hundreds of thousands of years ago, had been with him ever since and had now cultivated to the True God fifth level.

This avatar had cost him immense effort.

Now, it was all gone.

One could imagine Ji Xun's hatred for Ye Yuan.

Of course, he never imagined that he had once come within a hair's breadth of killing Ye Yuan.

Feeling the powerful fluctuations coming from the jade box, Ji Xun's heart surged with excitement.

With a nervous heart, Ji Xun circulated his divine essence and slowly opened the jade box.

Boom!

A cloud of black gas suddenly burst out, spraying directly into Ji Xun's face.

Hahaha, this venerable one finally sees the light of day again! Kid, I'll borrow your body for a while!

A sinister voice came, and the black gas directly drilled into Ji Xun's body.

Ah! What are you? Get out of me! Get out of my body!" Ji Xun roared.

Hehe, this seat is the Demon Feather Heavenly Sovereign. To be possessed by this venerable one, you should be happy!

Get lost! What kind of lousy Heavenly Sovereign? With this little strength, you want to possess my body? Dream on!

Hehe, this venerable one has already invaded your sea of consciousness. Whether to possess you or not is no longer up to you!

Why! Why isn't there Vermilion Bird True Blood in this box?" Ji Xun roared.

Vermilion Bird True Blood? So you were looking for Vermilion Bird True Blood! Hahaha, in this space, the Vermilion Bird True Blood is that blazing sun, and you actually thought it was in this jade box? How foolish! But it's precisely because of your foolishness that this venerable one can see the light of day again!" the Demon Feather Heavenly Sovereign cackled.

Blazing... blazing sun! No... impossible!

The Demon Feather Heavenly Sovereign's words shook Ji Xun's mind.

Man and demon engaged in a fierce struggle within Ji Xun's sea of consciousness.

...

That's the Vermilion Bird True Blood? This... how is this possible?

Leng Qiuling looked up at the sky; that blazing sun was intensely hot.

But she couldn't believe that that blazing sun was the Vermilion Bird True Blood everyone was fighting over.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This space was created with the Vermilion Bird True Blood as its foundation. And this oasis is the central area of this space. Only from here can one obtain the Vermilion Bird True Blood."

Leng Qiuling's mouth formed an O, her face full of disbelief. "Then... what did Ji Xun take away?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know about that. But... I suspect it's nothing good, heh."

Leng Qiuling was dumbfounded, still feeling as if she were dreaming.

Looking at the corpses lying all over the oasis, Leng Qiuling couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These people had gone through untold hardships to get here, only to find that what they were fighting over was a fake Vermilion Bird True Blood.

However, Leng Qiuling soon felt relieved.

The world of martial artists was like this.

Those with great fortune could obtain earth-shattering treasures in secret realms and be reborn.

But the vast majority would fall in the secret realms.

The birth of a strong man was built on countless corpses.

It was not an exaggeration to say that one general's success costs ten thousand bones.

But... how do we get the Vermilion Bird True Blood?" Leng Qiuling asked in confusion.

Here, no one dared to fly high, because the prohibitions and formations in the sky were beyond their ability to contend with.

This had been confirmed by countless people.

Ye Yuan smiled slightly, leaped up, and stepped onto the stone platform.

Rumble...

In the sky, wind and clouds shifted, and extremely powerful flames faintly appeared, as if they would burn the entire space to ashes.

And Ye Yuan was at the center of this storm of flames!

Seeing this, Leng Qiuling's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "Ye Yuan, be careful!"

But Ye Yuan paid no attention, leaping straight into the sky!

At the same time, a vast power of the Dao surged from Ye Yuan's body, meeting the terrifying flames.

Leng Qiuling's pupils contracted; the endless flames were actually shrinking!

As if... they were afraid of Ye Yuan.

Those flames eventually converged onto the blazing sun.

Ye Yuan flew higher and higher until he was level with the sun.

Under Leng Qiuling's stunned gaze, Ye Yuan reached out and plucked the sun.

At that moment, the raging sun became docile, its light rapidly receding, eventually taking the form of a drop of blood.

Ye Yuan gently grasped it, holding the drop of Vermilion Bird True Blood in his palm, and drifted down.

Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan, her face full of shock.

How... how did you do it?
