From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 600: Chapter 536: The Sun Goes Out

“The fall of the Phoenix was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, the once resplendent figure that had been reborn in flames countless times now lay quietly extinguished, its light dimmed as if even its soul had been devoured by eternal darkness.”

Not far away, several beings of Heavenly Enlightenment Level witnessed this scene, their hearts tumultuous like seas swept by gales, struggling to find calm.

The Child of the Sun God’s eyes flickered with an unprecedented solemnity.

He had a strong premonition of ill fortune.

Perhaps, it was no longer possible to stop the Fischer family…

Their speed of gaining strength was unbelievably rapid; over the past century, the entire family had been developing at an astonishing pace.

…

“…”

The Child of the Sun God took a deep breath.

Even so, what of it? The battle must continue, for this might very well be the last chance to save the world.

If the current Fischer family was this formidable to deal with, what opportunity would there be in the future if they were not stopped now?

“Blazing Sun, I wish to save Claud World, please let all your light shine upon me!”

The emerald elf Ancestor, too, wore an expression filled with undisguised astonishment, knowing deep inside that the fall of the “Phoenix” signified not just the end of a powerful being of Heavenly Enlightenment but the imbalance of an era.

Fischer.

They had reached the pinnacle of power, truly arriving at a position that could determine the future of the world.

At that moment, Chris and Hecate stood side by side, seemingly the Lord of the Lost’s most unshakeable bastion.

The “Death God”‘s white skeletal sword continued to flash with a cold light. The “Demonic Woman” closed her eyes, her magic wand emitting a gentle blue glow that seemed to swirl with the mysteries of reincarnation, inspiring awe.

“The combined power of the two of us, even you cannot contend with,” Hecate’s voice was as piercing as ice but carried an indescribable terror.

Her voice echoed in the night sky like an ancient spell, applying an invisible pressure on the hearts of every being of Heavenly Enlightenment.

The emerald elf looked at the once magnificent but now silent remains of the “Phoenix,” feeling a complex surge of emotions.

“Ah.”

She sighed lightly, a sigh filled with helpless resignation to her own inability to change anything, fully aware that the combined power of the Fischer family’s “Death God” and “Witch” was far beyond her imagination. Even her close connection with the power of Nature could not break through the land now shrouded in death.

“Even if just a bit of wild grass is preserved, there’s still a chance for the field to return in the future. Better to retreat now and seek opportunities later,” the emerald elf mused internally, deciding to leave this battlefield and seek new ‘elements of destruction’ or other allies elsewhere.

In her heart, her departure was not an escape, but a search for a more suitable time and method. After all, as a being of Heavenly Enlightenment, she could even leave this world.

In other words, she had no reason to fight to the death—the worst-case scenario was taking some emerald elves and leaving this world.

Then, Chris and Hecate saw the emerald elf Ancestor sink her body, merging with the multitude of plants, becoming one with them, and in the next moment, seemed to be transported to a distant place by the power of Nature.

The Child of the Sun God clenched his fists, the golden light trembling yet still striving to maintain his unyielding pride.

He made a markedly different choice.

The Child of the Sun God stared into the distance, his eyes flickering with determination and resilience, his heart filled with a steadfast commitment to the light, a love for life, knowing his light might not forever brighten Claud World, but as long as he had a sliver of strength, he would never abandon saving the future of this world.

“Even if it means sacrificing myself, I will defeat Fischer!”

The Saint of the Sun vowed in his heart.

He clenched his hands, feeling the searing power within him about to burst forth like never before. This was a fight with no retreat; some people are willing to face the challenge for their convictions, to protect every life upon this land.

With no considerations left, all Forbidden Rare Artifacts were activated; in an instant, the power possessed by the Child of the Sun God reached an unprecedented peak.

The showdown between the Child of the Sun God and the two Fischers was like the world’s most dazzling fireworks, both beautiful and mournful.

As the Saint blessed with the Sun God’s Divine Power, this hero who has illuminated all with endless light since his birth now stood at the crossroads of fate. His love for life and his intense faith had converged into an unstoppable force, propelling him forward.

Before the unyielding belief and searing light of the Child of the Sun God, even Chris’s eyes showed a barely perceptible flicker.

He knew Karno was in the hands of that man, yet the latter had not genuinely killed Karno… Unfortunately, Fischer’s and the Lord’s enemies must be utterly destroyed.

The battle erupted in an instant, and the Child of the Sun God was the first to make a move, summoning all the light and heat from within him, transforming them into a dazzling solar storm that swept towards the “Death God” and “Demonic Woman.”

The light was like burning flames, trying to engulf the two figures in an endless brilliance.

However, Chris and Hecate did not falter.

Chris gently swung his weapon, and an invisible Burier Breath clashed with the solar storm, resulting in a collision that exploded in deafening roars, as if everything around them trembled in that moment.

The battle escalated into a fever pitch, with both sides’ struggles becoming more intense.

The Child of the Sun God continuously unleashed light and heat, attempting to drive the darkness away with brightness, while Chris employed the Burier Breath, time and again neutralizing the Sun’s Son’s attacks and looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Their figures shuttled across the sky, with each clash accompanied by the bursting of energy and the distortion of space.

Numerous undead creatures crumbled one after another, while those of the “Source of Destruction” were also interfered with by the power of the Forbidden rare artifact, and suddenly froze in place.

Hecate did not make another move but smiled warily.

“Is the Emperor of Lorne still nearby? What are you preparing over here?” Although her eyes remained closed, Hecate possessed extremely strong perception.

As time went on, the light of the Child of the Sun God began to dim, his power pressing toward its limit amid continual exhaustion.

Nevertheless, he did not give up but grew even more resolute in his belief, for this battle was not only to defeat “Death God” but also to protect every life on this land.

He absolutely could not let the End continue to revive!

By then, the entire world would turn into nothingness!

“If I still had Divine Power, no matter what, there would be a chance to turn the tide, but alas, I have no more trump cards…”

“So, I can only hope to achieve Mutual Destruction with them.”

At the moment when he was about to deplete his last ounce of strength, he gathered all his light and heat into a dazzling orb and unhesitatingly hurled it towards Chris and Hecate.

In that instant, the light was so intense that even the “Death God” and the “Demonic Woman” had to retreat temporarily.

What followed was Chris displaying his true power, transforming the Burier Breath into countless deathly chains that tightly bound the Child of the Sun God’s soul.

Then, he released another rune power.

It was the “Angel’s Cage” that had evolved repeatedly and finally reached the level of Supreme Rune, which now became the “Divine Cage”!

Endless chains formed a cage, completely trapping the Child of the Sun God’s life-risking strike!

The light began to fade.

“Is it still impossible to defy fate? The gods chose to leave from the beginning, could it truly be the only correct answer?”

His power gradually vanished within the chains of death, but his determined gaze and unyielding spirit stayed unchanged until the very last moment.

In the end, the Child of the Sun God fell.

The light gradually extinguished.

Before he died completely, he calmly took out a painting, which contained the souls of Karno and Bast.

Since he couldn’t save the world, there was no point in imprisoning them anymore.

If…

Just if…

“Karno Fischer, if we weren’t natural adversaries, perhaps we could have been amicable friends. Sadly, the flow of fate is something I ultimately cannot resist…”

And with repeated use of powerful rune powers, Chris’s Spiritual Power was also nearly exhausted.

Just when he was about to fall, the sky suddenly split open with a dazzling crack, and an awe-inspiring being emerged – the Curator of the Sapphire Library.

Chris looked up, expressionless.

He wore a blue robe and squinted at Chris, who was nearly drained of strength.

“Even I could have never imagined that the youth from back then could grow to this extent…”

The Sapphire Curator had noticed Chris’s presence when designing the scheme of the Alchemy Council, but back then could not have imagined today’s circumstances.

“Hmm, it’s clear he’s exhausted his Spiritual Power and can’t use that kind of powerful ‘rune power’ anymore. Now is the best time to strike.”

Meanwhile, at the same time, a sudden storm once again instantly changed the dynamics of the battlefield.

The Emperor of Lorne finally completed some ritual and reappeared on the field, donned in golden armor and wielding a long sword that shimmered with mysterious light, his eyes conveying endless authority and resolve.

It seemed to be the mightiest soul among the many within that body!

He came from an ancient era, was the founder of the Lorne Empire, and the eternal Guardian of the Empire, possessing strength and wisdom far beyond ordinary imagination.

The Immortal Emperor.

He stood side by side with the legendary Spellcaster, their gazes simultaneously fixed on the “Death God” and “Demonic Woman.”

“Heavenly Enlightenment has fallen in succession, and even in my millennium of experiences, it counts as a day when a major event has taken place…”

“All for Lorne, and I shall become the new Divine.”
