Apotheosis

Elizabeth along with the rest of the Sun Crow race stood by and watched Zen soar into the air, without a word.

On the one hand, they hoped Zen would finally perish this way, but on the other, they still worried about him almost instinctively.

The common contradicting feelings left them in an uncomfortable position.

Swish!

The moment Zen left the enchanted barrier, his physical body turned blazing white. He could barely open his eyes in the strong light.

Buzz!

Sanskrit words began appearing on his body, spinning ceaselessly and frantically absorbing the heat.

Whoosh!

The Corpse Spirit Sun Crow was normally immune to water and fire, but after it reached ten thousand feet outside the barrier, its feathers started burning.

"How powerful these flames are!" Zen exclaimed in awe.

He didn't know what kind of method Emperor Charm used to create the crow beneath him. Its defensive power was extremely astonishing. Even if the members of the Sun Crow race were highly powerful, they couldn't burn the Corpse Spirit Sun Crow, nor could they tear it apart by trapping it in fire.

But as it approached ten thousand feet high in the air, its feathers were already burnt. Zen wondered how terrifying the suns' temperature was.

He wasn't certain if he could withstand it himself.

But at this point, there was no way back.

On the back of the Corpse Spirit Sun Crow, Zen stood upright, his eyes flashing with determination as the crow then rapidly sped up.

The nine suns were still in the midst of expanding, slowly moving south. They were no doubt about to pour all their heat into the North Mysterious City.

As Zen continued to rise, the temperature rose along with him.

Crack! Crack!

The surface of the Corpse Spirit Sun Crow beneath Zen's feet was crackling from burning.

The bones of the Corpse Spirit Sun Crow turned to ashes.

Once the bones of the wings exploded, the rest of the crow was completely destroyed.

In another bursting sound, the creature collapsed, falling to the ground.

On the other hand, Zen merely took a step and flew upward on his own.

"Is this distance enough?" Zen asked.

He had already risen to about eighty thousand feet in the air, with the nine suns like white mountains above his head. While they appeared close because of the sheer size, there was still a considerab

in extreme pain, and the black shield turned into dark fragments, merging into his fist.

With a sudden wave of his hand, he smashed his fist into the transmission array.

The sight had Libby shocked. The Oneness General was by no means inferior to her in status, so she had no intention to kill him. All she did was to force him back—never did she expect him to go to such extremes and fight for his life.

Once the Other Shore Token was burnt, the power of the punch was truly formidable. Even Libby, who was undoubtedly powerful, couldn't withstand its force head-on.

"Boom!"

Along with a great rumble, the transmission array had been smashed into pieces, and the many Other Shore Realm warriors who were lining up were affected.

Meanwhile, the masters of the mountains had their attention fixed on the suns in the sky. They were all racking their brains, trying to figure out a way to buy some time and open up enchanted barriers to allow the others to retreat. Even the Sun Crow race was helping them out.

The loud rumble drew everyone's attention. Even the mountain leaders were shocked upon witnessing the scene.

A considerable distance stood between the North Mysterious City and the border of the North Unicorn Province. Even if a mountain leader used the Grand Teleportation technique, jumping back to the Bloom Divine Province in a single move was still impossible.

The transmission array remained the only means to leave the North Unicorn Province. No one expected it to be destroyed so suddenly. Now they lost their only way to retreat.
