This power was mightier by more than can be told than the Sun Jade Eye's. At the stern, the First Ancestor Human Emperor and Chi Xi were in a frenzy of alarm, yet Shen Mu was pacing to and fro, tugging at the vigorous beard on his chin, musing: "If my conjecture is right, then there is one possibility: this Great Sun Star Lord may not be the original Great Sun Star Lord at all, but a deity of the Supreme Emperor's era.
And if the conjecture holds, then where has the true Great Sun Star Lord gone.
.
. First Ancestor, could you get me a little of the Great Sun Star Lord's blood, for me to study? " Chi Xi, choked with exasperation: "If we keep our lives, that will be feat enough! " The First Ancestor Human Emperor called loudly: "Get inside the tower and hide, quickly! " Shen Mu ran for the tower. Ling Yuxiu stood at the tower door; Ban Gongcuo meant to shut the door and lock Shen Mu outside, but Ling Yuxiu seized him by the neck with one hand and slammed him heavily to the ground.
Shen Mu darted into the tower.
The door had barely shut when there came a great boom, and then violent shaking, flinging the three people in the tower high and hurling them about.
At the stern, the First Ancestor Human Emperor drew the sword at his waist, roused all his mana, and brought it down in one stroke against the light. The Yuming Sword surged, cleaving through the dense divine radiance, but in the next moment it was burned red-hot.
Pressed by the terrifying force, the First Ancestor's form was driven back and back. Chi Xi roused the tower's guardian treasure, six divine swords, which likewise slashed at the divine light.
The strength Chi Xi commanded was not enough, but the six divine swords' power was too great, and it dragged Chi Xi's might up by a full measure. The two of them together just managed to hold off the power of the Sun's Sacred Pupil.
The dense, blinding firelight and divine radiance were split in two by them, screaming past the edges of the tower-ship and leaving two long trails across the starry deep of the cosmos, blazing bright. Just then the tower-ship lurched violently. A god-man with a bird's head, a human body, twin wings and three feet had ridden the divine light and alighted at the stern.
It was the Great Sun Star Lord. Inside the tower, Shen Mu called out loudly: "First Ancestor, remember to get me some of his blood! " "Say no more!
" the First Ancestor shouted back in exasperation.
