Under the blazing sun, a giant as tall as a mountain was running towards the ten suns, leaning on a wooden staff. He could often cross several mountain peaks in one step, but his speed was still much slower than that of the ten suns.
He didn't remember how long he had been chasing after it. Under the scorching sun, he felt his whole body was red, and his lips were already dry with a layer of white dead skin.
He finally saw a rushing river ahead, and he remembered that it seemed to be the famous Yellow River in the human tribe.
Ten days had passed, and the river was already boiling. He didn't care about anything else, so he lay down on the riverbank and started drinking the water.
Even though the water had already boiled, he still wore an expression of enjoyment, as if he were drinking sweet dew.
He drank very quickly, and before long, he had drunk the entire Yellow River dry.
Then he regained his spirits and strode on to continue chasing after the ten suns.
The suns seemed to be deliberately teasing him; instead of taking the opportunity to escape while he was drinking water, they stopped and provoked him in various ways.
When he finished drinking the entire river, the suns instantly sped up.
He chased, he fled...
Under the scorching heat of ten suns, Kuafu's strength was quickly depleted, and he soon became breathless. Fortunately, he encountered the Wei River.
Just like before, it instantly drank the Wei River dry again, and then continued to chase after ten suns.
This chase made him realize that he was no match for ten suns, and even if he caught up with them, he wouldn't be able to take revenge.
But he felt a sense of resentment and was unwilling to submit to the ten suns so easily.
The witch clan can be defeated, but not crushed!
After chasing for a while, he felt increasingly thirsty. Even though he had just drunk from two great rivers not long ago, he remembered that there was a large swamp not far ahead. If he drank from that swamp, he should have the strength to continue the chase.
Unfortunately, he couldn't hold on until he reached the vast swamp. He felt his legs getting heavier and heavier, and his eyelids gradually became too heavy to open.
He knew he was exhausted and couldn't understand why he was failing so quickly, even though he was no match for Shi Ri.
He looked up at the suns in the sky, which seemed to be looking at him with eerie smiles, and suddenly he had a realization.
"I see……"
Having figured everything out, he stopped chasing. Instead, he used the last of his life force to throw the wooden staff in his hand. The staff took root on the ground and quickly began to spread its branches and leaves. Even the ten suns in the sky could not stop the vibrant life force it exuded.
Soon, peach blossoms bloomed and peaches appeared. The peaches fell to the ground, took root and sprouted, and turned into new peach trees.
In the blink of an eye, the cane transformed into a peach orchard.
Suddenly, a series of abrupt, agonizing screams echoed through the surrounding area, each one carrying a hint of relief amidst their shrillness.
"How dare you ruin my grand plan!" A faint voice rang out, and then a fireball descended from the sky, landing directly on Kuafu.
Kuafu's body was too strong. This attack, which was like a meteorite, did not blow his body into pieces. Instead, it burned his body into a charred piece.
The suns in the sky were still not satisfied, and balls of fire descended again, trying to completely obliterate him.
Just then, a dazzling sword aura shot out from afar, blasting the fireballs into a sky full of fireworks.
The ten golden crows in the sky turned their heads and saw a rainbow streak across the sky, and Zu'an had already appeared beside Kuafu.
Looking at his charred body, Zu An's expression darkened: "I'm late."
Kuafu pointed to the sky: "Beware of evil..."
Unfortunately, he passed away before he could finish speaking, his eyes wide open, his expression full of resentment, as if he regretted not being able to finish.
Ten golden crows circled and danced in the sky: "Where did this brat come from, daring to interfere in the affairs of our Tenth Prince!"
Zuan completely ignored them, his expression solemn as he glanced at the peach grove not far away.
With a sudden realization, he gently closed Kuafu's eyes: "Don't worry, I understand what you're trying to say."
To outsiders, it might seem that the ten princes of the Golden Crow were simply seeking revenge because Nüba had insulted their father, and that they were also just wandering around out of a playful spirit.
Although the land was scorched and countless lives were lost, given their noble status, they were ultimately punished, but not severely.
However, Zuan knew that things were not that simple. Based on the information he had gathered along the way, the ten-day celestial ascent was clearly not an accident, but a premeditated act.
The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, the Cauldron of Soul Extinction...
Now, ten suns are in the sky, causing the deaths of countless living beings. The souls of those who died have vanished without a trace. Clearly, Emperor Jun used these ten golden crows to help him complete the final step of a grand array to refine all living beings in the world.
Kuafu probably figured all this out just now. That peach grove was transformed from his staff before he died, and peach wood happens to be able to subdue ghosts.
This peach grove just now disrupted the collection of living souls within a radius of ten thousand miles, no wonder the ten golden crows were so furious.
"You brat, I'm asking you a question, are you mute?" the Sixth Prince of the Golden Crow shouted.
Zuan finally raised his head and looked at the ten suns in the sky. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that they were ten golden crows. At this moment, their faces were full of smiles, as if they didn't care about any of this: "You have done such an outrageous thing, do you really think no one can control you?"
The ten golden crows were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, bending over backwards.
"Are you implying that you, a mere human, have the right to control us?"
"You mere ants in the mortal realm, overestimating your own abilities!"
“We are the sons of the Heavenly Emperor. Over the years, we have worked diligently and have brought blessings to countless living beings. What is wrong with us going out for a stroll? As for those living beings who cannot withstand the ordeal, it proves that they are destined for this calamity. What does that have to do with us?”
