892: Chapter 243: Great Sun Overpowers Great Sun 892: Chapter 243: Great Sun Overpowers Great Sun (I made some edits to the previous chapter last night, adding a few hundred free words; friends who read it early might find the plot disconnected, so please refresh the previous chapter and reread the next few pages.)

“Alright!” Su He nodded, a flash of light emanating from him as Yue Ying landed beside Thai Zu, “Elder Ancestor, please take care of this for me.”
Learn from mistakes; ordinary creatures shouldn’t be easily brought back to ancient times anymore.
Three hexagrams flew out from Su He and landed beside Thai Zu.
The Trigram of the Same Person tried to fly away but was pressed down by a slap from Thai Zu.
“The Trigram of the Same Person belongs to my aunt; please, Elder Ancestor, help me return it.
The Gradual Symbol is Su Huanian’s; if it’s convenient for you, please help me deliver it back.
The Kui Trigram is rented from the Tian Nu Clan; Elder Ancestor, you might see which clan uncle needs it —— the rent is on you!”
Time flew, and these three small hexagrams had already solidified.
Yue Ying suddenly raised her head and then slowly lowered it again.
This was the Dragon Turtle leaving, helping the Tian Nu Clan find a patron.
It was clear that an adult dragon could better protect the Tian Nu Clan, but for some reason, she hoped their patron would be this Little Dragon Turtle…
Thai Zu chuckled, “The Turtle isn’t big, but it sure has treasures!”
Su He laughed, good fortune, he couldn’t help it!
“So, may I…
go in?” Su He asked softly.
Thai Zu nodded slightly, “This shell can protect you temporarily.
Enter and find the White Dragon, and if the matter cannot be accomplished, exit immediately.
If necessary, Elder Ancestor will upend this world, but preserving yourself is of the utmost importance.”
The Elder Ancestor motioned to the shell embedded on Su He’s turtle body.
This turtle shell was miraculous, blending seamlessly with Su He’s shell, making it completely indistinguishable.
Su He nodded and leaped, jumping through the crack filled with symbols.
Thai Zu made no move, the hexagrams and Yue Ying surrounding him vanished.
A phantom appeared in the sky, and a phoenix head emerged from the void, “The old fellow from the Sealed Emperor’s Palace is indeed inside!
Are you sure you won’t go in?”
Thai Zu shook his head with a sardonic smile, “If I go in, how would he control the Great Sun?”
Boom!
The ground erupted with magma, and Su He, shielded by the turtle shell, burst out from underground.
Thai Zu was unreliable, emerging from the protected crack right underground!
The land of the Great Sun Tomb was like fried sand, scorching hot, with the hot air carrying a sinister fire poison.
Staying underground a moment longer felt like being stewed alive.
A strange wave of heat rushed at him as he emerged from the ground.
It wasn’t just heat, it was a kind of heat that disgusted you to the bone.
The sunlight stuck to the body like plaster, continuously corroding the flesh, and could be shaken off to fall on the ground, twisting tentacle-like.
The wind from all directions was thick and sticky, limiting hearing, smell, and sight.
The entire turtle’s movements became sluggish.
The clouds on the horizon twisted as if cursed, filled with an evil aura.
This was pure evil!
Devoid of any emotion.
The thick wind writhed, swirling with boulders and magma.
And the dead!
Many have come to the Great Sun Tomb, but none have ever truly left.
Death here didn’t even allow for decay.
In the distance on the desert, a massive tomb loomed vaguely, like an altar of death, devouring everything.
The wind, the light, everything passing over the tomb was sucked down by a vortex-like force, vanishing upon touching the tomb.
Eerie howls filled the air, sometimes nearing, sometimes distancing.
Su He looked toward the sound, a voice ringing by his ear, “If I were you, dear friend, I wouldn’t be so curious.”
Turning his head, Su He saw a figure in the shadows, unexpectedly joined by another person.
That person, clad in a dragon robe, was meticulous even in such surroundings, with a large cauldron spinning atop his head.
Emperor Luan.
He sat in the shadow, looking at Su He with a smile as if meeting an old friend from home.
“Dear friend, long time no see!” Several years had passed, and the aura of this little dragon turtle had grown even stronger.
The Second Level of Heaven was probably reaching its limit; just a moment of comprehension in solidifying the Opening Heaven Divine Artifact would allow him to open up the Third Layer of Heaven.
With this dragon turtle’s luck and understanding, perhaps it wouldn’t even take a hundred years.
This was some pace of cultivation!
“Yo!
Your Majesty, long time no see, how have you been recently?” Su He said cheerfully.
“Not well!” Emperor Luan was serious, “Just yesterday I encountered your lady, and nearly got suppressed by her.”
If not for the special environment of the Great Sun Tomb, he might have died here several times already!
Su He gave him a disdainful look, then laughed again, “Your Majesty, could you tell me about the current situation in the Great Sun Tomb?
My old turtle said it’s quite lively in here, yet I know nothing about it!”
Emperor Luan glanced at him, “What’s lively?
It’s just a group of people trying to hunt your lady and failing, being suppressed by her instead!”
A group of people, not just Emperor Luan.
“Who are they?
Your Majesty, could you tell me?”
Emperor Luan chuckled, “Sealed Emperor Great Ancestor, Deposed Crown Prince, I!
And a few rats hidden here.” He looked at Su He, “So, are you here alone to save someone?”
Su He shrugged his turtle shell, looking helpless, “It’s my own wife; it wouldn’t be right to ask others to take the risk, would it?”
Emperor Luan looked at him, a sincere look in his eyes, “Then I wish you, dear friend, good luck!” He then retreated into the shadows as he spoke.
A curious light flickered in Su He’s eyes, “Your Majesty, not seizing the opportunity to suppress me?”
Emperor Luan paused and then shook his head with a smile, “I hold you in the highest regard, dear friend, why would you jest so with me?
Since you dare enter here, you undoubtedly possess ample means.
Even with the Mountain and River Ding above my head, I only dare appear in the shadows, yet you can face the sunlight directly.
At this moment, attacking you, I fear I wouldn’t survive the day.”
