In the starry river in the south.

A blazing sun released light and heat. A figure was gradually growing taller and taller, condensing into a dharma idol.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

True sunflame washed its body. Flames poured down like rain, fusing into the dharma idol.

But the process of the dharma idol getting stronger was still far too slow.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Figures that were enveloped in domains or in dharma idol form came from all directions.

Zu Guangyao, who was still cultivating laboriously in the depths of the hot sun and strengthening his true sunflame little by little, suddenly opened his eyes as his divine sense was released like tidewater.

ZZZZZLA!

The divine radiance of the sun spread and swept across the surrounding sea of stars.

“Zhang Qiling, Li Wanfa, Yu Suying...”

When his divine sense picked up the approaching figures, Zu Guangyao became more and more frightened. His dharma idol, which was gradually becoming stronger, shook to manifest his turbulent mood.

“Were they all invited by the Jade Heaven Sect?”

Soon after Song Chequan had left, Zu Guangyao had been relieved, and wanted to take the opportunity to advance to the God domain. He knew that he had to stabilize his cultivation before Song Chequan returned.

He knew, of course, how difficult that would be.

Breaking through to the God domain often required a lot of help.

Only with enough rare materials and accumulation for ten thousand years would one earn a low chance to break through into the God domain.

Even though he had derived exquisite incantations and happened to encounter a blazing sun, his attempt to make this breakthrough was forced.

Besides, when he had first tried to advance to the early God domain, he had been suppressed by Song Chequan again and again, which had brought big troubles to his breakthrough from the very beginning.

Now Song Chequan was gone, but the problem could not be solved immediately, and he was not sure when Song Chequan would return.

In addition, Xin Qing, Han Wanrong, and the ancient starship that they were on had also been taken away by Song Chequan, their fate unknown.

Suddenly, a swarm of Saint domain experts flew towards him. Zu Guangyao immediately assumed that Song Chequan of the Jade Heaven Sect had asked them to come kill him.

“Are these people here to kill me at such a sensitive time?” Zu Guangyao thought with a bitter smile.

“Guangyao!”

Suddenly, Xin Qing’s loud voice echoed out from the edge of a gorgeous glowing sphere.

Zu Guangyao froze. He took a closer look, and saw Xin Qing and Han Wanrong happily emerging from the distance.

Mo Qianfan and Yin Xingtian of the Streamcloud Sword Sect were next to them.

Nie Tian, who was enveloped in glowing turbulent energy, was in the depths of the Primal Chaos. Therefore, Zu Guangyao didn’t see him at the first moment.

WHOOSH!

Xin Qing and Han Wanrong, who had been carried by Yin Xingtian and Mo Qianfan due to the fact that they were still recovering from their ordeal, overtook the Saint domain experts, and approached the burning sun.

As they did, all the Saint domain experts made way for them.

“Are you, all right?” Zu Guangyao asked disjointedly. As soon as he spoke, the speed at which his dharma idol grew in the blazing sun slowed down.

“Guangyao! Don’t open your mouth to speak, just continue with your breakthrough and listen to me.” Xin Qing hurriedly explained, “We are safe now! Everyone is okay. Nie Tian started his journey from the Domain of Heaven Python, passed the Domain of Spiritual Sea and the Domain of Dark Marsh…”

Han Wanrong also helped explain what had happened.

The two enumerated Nie Tian’s astonishing feats.

Listening to their words, Zu Guangyao felt very excited, and his restless heart instantly relaxed.

“Nie Tian is here to help you break through to the God domain!” Xin Qing said in the end.

“Help me break through to the God domain?” Zu Guangyao was very surprised. “The breakthrough isn't as easy as you think. I...”

It was very hard for him to believe that.

WHOOSH!

Wrapped in the glowing sphere, Nie Tian flew slowly toward the sun, making all the Saint domain experts naturally shy away.

The magnetic field full of turbulent, tearing and twisting forces finally stopped.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

The light and heat emitted by the blazing sun were somehow attracted by the magnetic field surrounding Nie Tian. Both its heat energy and true sunflame were dragged away from the sun.

Zu Guangyao exclaimed in shock, “This is clearly not helping!”

The loss of heat energy and true sunflame made the condensation of his dharma idol become slower than before.

Song Chequan of the Jade Heaven Sect had previously made desperate attempts to stop him and delay the condensation of his dharma idol, but he wasn’t as efficient as what Nie Tian was doing now.

In an instant, Zu Guangyao panicked.

“Er...”

Xin Qing and Han Wanrong, as well as Yu Suying and the other experts, all felt there was something wrong. Their eyes looked surprised.

“What is Nie Tian doing?” Zhang Qiling shook his head, very puzzled. “His magnetic field is absorbing power from the river of stars and all the foreign forces. The sun’s heat energy and flame are clearly being absorbed by it too!”

“Zu Guangyao’s breakthrough to the God domain depends on the torrential flames of the sun!” Li Wanfa shouted.

“Nie Tian is clearly doing him a disservice!” Someone whispered. “Since he made a mess like that, he’ll probably ruin Zu Guangyao’s advance!”

Many people from other domains distorted reality. “The rumor is unreliable as expected! Like I said, how can a mere Son of the Stars help Mo Qianfan break through to the God domain?”

“It’s likely because Mo Qianfan is thankful for Mo Heng’s favor. After he broke through luckily, he gave the credit to Nie Tian, deliberately making patriarchs like Yin Xingtian misunderstand.”

“Right! Mo Qianfan wanted to return Mo Heng’s favor, so he said it was because of Nie Tian that he broke through to the God domain!”

“Patriarch Yin has been stuck at his current cultivation for many years, so he was misled into doing things for Nie Tian…”

Even Yu Suying of the Profound Purity Palace frowned slightly as she was a little confused about the facts.

She had seen all Nie Tian do all kinds of amazing things with her own eyes, but she hadn’t seen Mo Qianfan’s breakthrough to the God domain. She had just heard about it through hearsay.

It was because she had great hopes for Nie Tian that she had spared no effort to help him, and directly fought the Jade Heaven Sect.

But now, it was clear that Nie Tian came with the weird magnetic field to destroy Zu Guangyao’s breakthrough. How could he be of any help?

If Nie Tian had only this kind of talent, would he be able to help her junior martial sister Han Qing?

She had bet the future of the Profound Purity Palace on Nie Tian, and even become enemies of the Shadow Society and the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect. Had she been too impulsive and unreasonable?

“A blazing sun, its flames and the heat energy...”

In the Primal Chaos, Nie Tian narrowed his eyes, carefully comprehended and sensed the changes of the fire domain around him, watching the subtle movements of the flame spark.

The flame spark and his fire domain were now absorbing the recently-acquired heat energy and true sunflame from the outer parts of the turbulent magnetic field.

“My fire domain can channel every bit of flame power there is in the outer layers.”

While thinking, he moved his body and began to stay away from the blazing sun and keep his distance from Zu Guangyao.

In the sun, Zu Guangyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, “Nie Tian, don’t… don’t get too close to me. The energy sphere around you is too terrifying.”

He clearly wanted to refuse Nie Tian’s ‘help’.

Xin Qing and Han Wanrong were very embarrassed to hear that.

They had persuaded Nie Tian and insisted on him coming to help Zu Guangyao break through into the God domain, but they ended up putting him in a more passive and dangerous situation.

They both felt sorry for Zu Guangyao.

“The key to the breakthrough lies in the change of the domain, and the creation of the dharma idol. What does Zu Guangyao lack? True sunflame? Heat energy?”

Nie Tian pondered, wisps of divine sense flying in his fire domain.
