As the sun rose higher, its core temperature doubled with each ascent.
The Ten Directions God Emperors quickly cast spells, using their respective Five Elements techniques and ten elemental forces to suppress the boundless scorching spread brought by the sun's light.
In contrast, the Hundred Thousand Demon Stars, having ceased their attacks on the Ten Directions God Emperors, were now flying rapidly towards the core of the sun's light, as if pre-arranged!
Before they could get close, they were instantly incinerated into ashes...
As if there was some connection, the intense heat stopped burning upon reaching the Tai Shang Lake Court, and the lake and sea not only did not dry up but were completely unaffected by the scorching heat.
Ming Zhi Tian, holding the child, leaped into the lake and sea, finding refuge.
10%...
All vegetation and flora were burnt, even the rocks were scorched red, and the heat intensified rather than diminished.
Kong Di: "What is happening?"
Xue Di: "Ancient texts recorded that all things revive, giving rise to demons. This is likely the rare Golden Crow phenomenon that appears once in ten thousand years."
Qi Di interjected: "Could it be that a divine weapon is about to emerge?"
"Huh?"
Although the Ten Directions God Emperors were united in purpose now, upon hearing this, their hearts were all stirred, each with their own calculations.
20%...
The fiery orange-like sun, akin to molten gold, erupted with strands of flame, doubling its heat to two hundred thousand degrees!
As the Ten Directions God Emperors channeled their immortal spiritual energy to resist, the golden protective shields on their bodies also repelled external forces, thus stabilizing themselves.
40%...
The heat multiplied several times, rising to three million degrees!
The Ten Directions God Emperors were sweating profusely, their skin beginning to crack, threatening to dry out.
The Demon Stars, as if driven mad, charged directly into the sun's core, undeterred by the fact that it was melting everything, utterly disregarding their own lives.
In fact, upon closer inspection, one could see that they were slightly extending their hands, eyes closed, as if reaching for something, but before their hands could even fully extend, they were reduced to ashes.
Guang Di said: "Xue Di! Kong Di! Qi Di! Mo Di! What are you waiting for? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Quickly reduce the temperature, suppress the heat, or all ten of us will perish!"
Lei Di stated bluntly: "And Shui Di, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you summoning water?!"
Shui Di shot him a glare: "Do you have any common sense? Adding water to divine-level high temperatures is undoubtedly like pouring oil on a fire. If you wish to become roasted suckling pigs, I wouldn't mind doing so."
"..."
60%...
Xue Di: "Ten Thousand Year Ice and Snow!"
Kong Di: "All Things Revive!"
Qi Di: "Heaven and Earth Collapse!"
Mo Di: "Sea of Rain Returns to the Fields!"
Coupled with the continuous influx of immortal spiritual energy from the remaining six emperors to the four emperors Xue, Kong, Qi, and Mo, the Ten Emperors, with immense effort, finally managed to suppress the sun's light when it reached 80% heat!
At ten million degrees, the Ten Emperors were in tatters, their clothes in rags, half their hair scorched away, a sorry sight.
...
Heavenly Demon Sect...
The Dark Emperor who was stationed in the sect was merely a soul clone; his true form was with the Nine Directions God Emperors, while the little demoness Lin Shiyi and Mo Yixiao were already on their way.
Tai Shang Xuan Valley—
The ten million degrees of solar heat had already been largely suppressed by the Ten Directions God Emperors. Ming Zhi Tian and the child instantly arrived, wanting to help.
The Dark Emperor had been dissatisfied with Ming Zhi Tian since his defeat at the Heavenly Demon Sect, harboring resentment. Now, seeing an opportunity, he immediately embellished the situation:
"Esteemed God Emperors, please lend me your ears. The person before you is the mortal enemy of my Heavenly Demon Sect. Furthermore, he has abducted a child to use as leverage! Utterly despicable! I have personally seen him colluding with the Demon Stars, appearing righteous but secretly being a spy!"
