Chapter 1999 - Sun Pattern

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Qingfeng carefully examined the bronze sarcophagus before him but his eyes were darting around.

He utilized his clairvoyance with his right eye, releasing a golden glow that pierced through everything between the heavens and earth.

The light in his eye landed on the bronze sarcophagus. However, Qingfeng looked at it for a long time but did not have any discoveries.

There was an imprint of the sun on the bronze sarcophagus. It seemed like there was a layer of protection on the sarcophagus which blocked the power of his clairvoyance ability.

Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat. He knew that there must be a strong presence above the imprint. The presence was much stronger than Qingfeng so it was able to block his vision.

Gasp gasp!!

Qingfeng inhaled sharply when he saw the fingerprint at the bottom right corner of the bronze sarcophagus.

The fingerprint was only the size of a needle head. However, Qingfeng could make out clearly that the fingerprint was a sun imprint, forming the pattern of the sun in the sky.

Qingfeng thought in his heart, Could it be that the fingerprint was left by the Sun Monarch 5000 years ago?

Then, Qingfeng found three other fingerprints on the bronze sarcophagus. There was a total of four fingerprints, each with a carving of a sun.

There was terrifying power embued in the patterns, which rebounded the attacks of Huozhu Chi and Linglong Xue.

Linglong Xue walked to Qingfeng's side and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Linglong Xue respected Qingfeng deeply since he was the one who broke through the half-step saint level array. She knew that Qingfeng was not an ordinary person.

Qingfeng smiled faintly and pointed to the four fingerprints on the bronze sarcophagus. He said, "If I am not wrong, these fingerprints were left behind by the Sun Monarch. That's why your attacks were blocked."

Linglong Xue looked closely at where Qingfeng was pointing. Soon, she discovered the special markings at the bottom of the bronze sarcophagus. There were four clear fingerprints beneath the sarcophagus, and each fingerprint was a sun pattern.

Linglong Xue looked at Qingfeng with amazement. She said, "You are very knowledgeable."

Qingfeng smiled faintly but did not speak. He carefully examined the four fingerprints to crack them. He knew that they could only open the sarcophagus if he cracked the patterns.

Qingfeng suppressed his vital essence and transformed into an ordinary person. He then walked towards the bronze sarcophagus. As he expected, after he suppressed the vital essence within his body, the bronze sarcophagus stopped emitting a terrifying power to oppress him.

Qingfeng successfully arrived next to the bronze sarcophagus and he reached out his hand to stroke the four sun patterns.

Qingfeng discovered that the patterns represented different coordinates. They lined up perfectly with the North, South, East, and West.

Qingfeng activated his spirit energy and channeled it into the sun pattern before him.

Qingfeng immediately turned pale after entering the sun pattern. He felt like he had entered a burning world, and there were flames all around him.

The skies, ground, rivers, and lakes were all covered in flames. At a glance, there was nothing in sight other than flames.

Thankfully, Qingfeng's spirit energy was really strong so he could resist the burning temperatures of the flames. He walked above the flames continuously.

Qingfeng's body stood next to the sarcophagus and trembled continuously, his face becoming ghastly pale and large droplets of sweat traveling down his forehead.

Linglong Xue looked at Qingfeng with astonishment, since she could not understand what had happened. She did not know that Qingfeng's spirit energy had entered the sun pattern and that he was roasted by the flames.

"Haha, I am finally here. Qingfeng, I am definitely going to kill you today!" Suddenly, a burst of laughter was heard from the stone steps.

Jun Po walked onto the 100th stone step. His entire body emitted a powerful presence, and his eyes were filled with burning rage and killing intent. He looked coldly at Qingfeng, seeming like he could not wait to kill Qingfeng.

He was kicked down the stone steps by Qingfeng and so he only managed to climb up again by burning the life force within his blood. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, to find Qingfeng and kill him.

Jun Po laughed heartily when he saw Qingfeng's body next to the sarcophagus. He suddenly waved his gigantic vital essence fist towards Qingfeng's body.

Linglong Xue was standing right next to Qingfeng. Her eyes flashed coldly when she saw Jun Po's fist, and she suddenly reached out a finger and blasted a bloody flash of light.

The bloody flash of light collided with Jun Po's fist with a loud boom. Instantly, the surrounding air bursted and exploded.

Jun Po took two steps backward and looked at Linglong Xue with disbelief. He said, "Linglong Xue, I am attacking Qingfeng, not you. Why are you stopping me?"

Linglong Xue smiled faintly and said, "Qingfeng is examining how to crack the sun patterns. He is helping us. We cannot attack him for now."

Even though Linglong Xue and Qingfeng were unfamiliar with one another, Qingfeng had an important role and Linglong Xue had faith in him. She believed that only Qingfeng would be able to crack the sun pattern, so she chose to help him.

Jun Po was angry, but even though he was powerful, there was still a substantial difference in power between Linglong Xue and himself.

Even though he was unhappy, there was nothing he could do. Suddenly, a flash of happiness appeared in his eyes. He saw Huozhu Chi and said, "Huozhu Chi, Qingfeng is our enemy. It was said that he killed your junior brothers. Don't you want to avenge their deaths?"

Huozhu Chi's expression changed when he heard Jun Po's words. He was continuously searching for the person who had killed his junior brothers and did not expect that Qingfeng would turn out to be the one who had done it.

Huozhu Chi said, "Since Qingfeng killed my junior brother, I need to avenge him today."

Huozhu Chi walked towards Qingfeng furiously, ready to kill him.

Linglong Xue furrowed her brows and said, "We can't kill him right now. I need him to open the lid of the sarcophagus to obtain the inheritance. If you want to kill him, you are going against me as well."
