Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 527: Chapter 233: Solar Eclipse_2

With the alliance between the Netherworld and Great Xia, the fame of the Secret Realm Square-Inch had thoroughly spread far and wide, stirring movements within Great Xia’s Imperial Court, the grotto heavens sacred ground, and even among the demon races of the Demons’ Realm and the aquatic tribes of the Four Waterways.

In just the last three days alone, Shen Yuan’s Yang God had sensed the presence of more than five Spirit Refining True Beings who had entered Great Xia using unknown methods to suppress their cultivation levels.

And that was only what Shen Yuan could detect, many more Spirit Refining True Beings from major sects had mysterious methods to protect their bodies, which simple Yang God perception could not fathom.

Even just the cultivators who had appeared thus far were enough for Shen Yuan to meet the most basic requirements for the Secret Realm trials.

One could say that Shen Yuan had already completed the majority of this side quest.

“However, what I am looking forward to is not just minimal task completion!”

As consciousness gradually returned to his body, Shen Yuan, who had been sitting in meditation for three days, slowly raised his head to look up at the sky above.

The morning sun that had illuminated the Primal Chaos Realm for countless years still hung high in the firmament, its boundless light and warmth crossing the vast cosmos and falling upon the earth.

“It is time.”

Shen Yuan slowly stood up from the stone table, his aura subtly changing with his movement.

The Gods Purging Divine Power operated, the authority of the Divinity Path Edict enshrouded the entire Lang Huan Garden, while at the same time, the fragmentary incorporeal persona of Emperor Fengdu was quietly roused.

The white Vestment robe Shen Yuan wore was enveloped by the rich power of the Divinity Path, transforming into a golden-red long robe unlike the imperial raiment of Fengdu.

This robe was woven with the patterns of the Golden Crow of the Great Sun, its spirit essence weaving above, as if the Golden Crow sought to break free from the divine cloth and descend into the mortal realm.

A pearl-veil crown rested upon his head, with each pearl saturated with the light of the stars, while the golden jewel at the very top of the crown seemed carved from the Great Sun itself, its majesty shining upon the ten directions of the world.

Months ago, Shen Yuan could wield the power of the Sun Star simply through the Gods Purging Divine Power, and with the source of Divinity, he could impersonate the Donghua Emperor.

With Shen Yuan’s command over the fragmentary incorporeal persona of Emperor Fengdu, and bolstered by the Divinity Path Emperor’s rank, he further evolved the divine spectacle of the Donghua Emperor to the extreme.

The Donghua Shaoyang Emperor had perished thousands of years ago, and in this age, there was no Donghua Emperor—only Shen Yuan, bearing the Gods Purging Divine Power and the Divinity Path Emperor’s incorporeal persona, came closest to the Donghua Emperor.

Even if the canonical gods from the Heavenly Court descended upon the mortal realm, they would only recognize Shen Yuan as the Donghua Emperor in life.

The Incense Offering Divinity Path Origin flowed around Shen Yuan, drawing in all divine halos and spectacles within Lang Huan Garden.

With his left hand behind his back, Shen Yuan gazed directly at the proud sun above the firmament, slowly raising his right hand.

Spreading his fingers, Shen Yuan clenched his hand in the air, as if to grasp the Great Sun far above in the firmament.

“Sun Star, conceal thyself!”

As the resplendent Imperial Edict, bearing the majesty of the Divinity Path Emperor, was decreed, that nearly shattered Sun Star far above in the boundless cosmic sky gave a slight tremble.

The light which had shone upon the worlds for innumerable years faltered almost imperceptibly, and the projection of the Sun Star, casting its image upon the Primal Chaos Realm, was momentarily suppressed by an invisible hand.

Using cultivation and Divine Skills to forcibly suppress the Sun Star’s projection into the mortal realms would involve the cosmic Sun Paths, something even an Eternal Golden Immortal would struggle to achieve.

Yet in this era, with the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor fallen and the Sun Star without a master, Shen Yuan cheekily achieved his purpose by leveraging the prerogative of Gods Purging Divine Power through an imperial command.

As the brilliance of that Sun Star in space momentarily stalled, everyone within the Primal Chaos Realm could witness a most frightening spectacle.

That Great Sun, which had hung over the Primal Chaos Realm for countless years, began to diminish as if bitten by a celestial hound, gradually becoming fragmented, and within just a few breaths, all that remained was a golden ring.

The entire world suddenly plunged into darkness, the True Fire of the Great Sun concealed, as Taiyin Chill began to rise from the ground, as if the world itself had fallen into the silence of death.

Within the Imperial Capital, the arrival of the eclipse brought a brief silence upon the people.

Then, moments later, incredulous cries of astonishment were nearly resounding through the entire Imperial City.

“The rumors are true, an eclipse has come!”

“Heaven Traversing Princess did not lie to us!”

“The Star Viewing Platform has been monitoring the celestial phenomena and confirmed there would be no eclipse within the next ten years, today’s eclipse is unusual.”

“Since the eclipse is real, then the matter within the Secret Realm Square-Inch involving the Donghua Emperor, Fengdu Emperor, and a certain Taoism’s Exalted One must also be true!”

As successive Imperial Tokens were issued from within the Imperial Palace, a series of signal towers were lit, and the Great Array Formation of the Imperial Capital, a legacy of past human Imperial Dynasties, began to slowly activate.

The Imperial Capital Great Array Formation was not a simple Formation, but rather forged on the foundation of the dynastic and humanity fate, unaffected by the deficiencies of the cosmic rules.

Accompanying the activation of the Great Array were squads of soldiers clad in rune armor, patrolling the city streets as the entire Imperial City entered a state of martial law.

Apart from the Imperial Palace, guarded by the Imperial Guards, the most heavily fortified place within the Imperial Capital was the marketplace.

No less than thirty thousand armored troops stood guard outside the Imperial Capital Marketplace, nearly half of whom were elite troops who had reached the Essence Refining Stage.

With so many soldiers channeling the Great Power Array Formation through their battle formations, they could suppress all powerful experts within the marketplace.

The dimly lit Imperial Capital Marketplace was still bright with lights, within the loft buildings symbolizing various grotto heavens sacred grounds, many cultivators gathered.

All looked up at the single ring of light that was left of the Great Sun in the firmament, their eyes revealing an unprecedented caution.
