"The real, Sun Bird?" Raphael and the others murmured, shocked by the power of the three-legged golden crow.
They could tell that this was only a sixth-tier divine bird, but it was virtually invincible against the numerous dark creatures below the sixth tier. The terrifying heat of the sun burned away all the darkness.
"It's not that the three-legged golden crow is stronger than the angel, but the true flame of the sun has the ability to burn. Its high temperature can directly ignite dark creatures, rather than having a purifying effect like the power of holy light, so it looks more visually impactful."
"After all, the purification power of holy light has its limits, but the scorching heat, once ignited, will spread very quickly!"
Seeing what the others were thinking, Ye Chen said modestly that he did not want his three-legged golden crow to be coveted. After all these years, he had only recruited this one. If it were taken away, he would not know where to cry!
“Indeed, holy light can only forcibly purify, but flames can form a vast sea of fire once ignited!” A lord nodded and said, clearly agreeing with Ye Chen’s statement. Raphael and the others may still have doubts, but for the time being, they could not find a point of rebuttal and could only temporarily accept this statement.
Indeed, as they had observed, the Three-Legged Golden Crow did not possess the ability to incinerate all dark creatures. Most of the higher-level dark creatures only suffered minor burns, while the lower-level dark creatures were ignited in large numbers.
Meanwhile, due to the excessive density of dark creatures and the high temperature of the sun's true heat, this fire burning in the starry sky spread rapidly and soon ignited the entire starry sky.
Ye Chen couldn't understand how flames could be ignited in a universe devoid of air, attributing it solely to the power of the fire element, since elemental power is omnipotent in the world of magic.
But this did not hinder the power of the Sun's True Flame. Seeing the raging fire in the starry sky, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh that setting fire to mountains was too low-class. If you're so capable, why don't you set fire to an entire star field and see if any interstellar police will arrest you and tell you that you'll be spending your life in jail?
The terrifying fire caused the demigods who had rushed out to retreat. Although the three-legged golden crow was not of a high level, the true flame of the sun was of a very high level; it was a flame that could even ignite gods.
Therefore, it wasn't just their own demigods who were affected; Bishubhu, hidden among the many dark creatures, was the first to suffer. The densely packed dark creatures around him left him nowhere to hide, and he could only watch helplessly as he was engulfed by the raging flames.
"What? Could he have been burned to death?" a lord asked uncertainly.
"No way, right? He's a seventh-tier demigod, after all. What's the big deal if he gets burned to death by a sixth-tier creature?" another person replied incredulously.
"But looking at how stable the fire is, it's not impossible, is it? After all, our demigods have retreated, which means that such high temperatures can also affect demigods!"
"Hiss! Now that you mention it, it's not entirely impossible. But this is just too far-fetched, isn't it? A sixth-tier creature wiped out an entire star field of dark creatures? And that even included a mid-seventh-tier demigod?"
"..."
Not to mention them, even Ye Chen himself found it hard to believe, and even the three-legged golden crow that was traveling in the universe was stunned.
The Sun's True Flame is powerful, but to say that he could burn an entire starry sky with his current power is something even he himself doesn't believe!
"Senior, you're right. Dark gods using sheer numbers are indeed the easiest to deal with!" Ye Chen said with an awkward smile to Raphael.
"Uh, is that right?" Raphael said uncertainly. I said it was easy to deal with, but this is way too easy for you.
Even Raphael himself had a thought: next time he encountered such a large-scale attack, could he bring in a few fire mages to set it ablaze? But it wasn't like they hadn't encountered it before, and fire mages hadn't been able to produce such an effect.
In truth, they all understood that the ultimate reason was that the temperature of the Three-Legged Golden Crow's Solar Flame was too high, so high that even a seventh-order demigod could not withstand it. As this terrifyingly high-temperature flame spread, the entire army of dark creatures was burned to ashes.
If it were a group of fire mages, unless a group of seventh-tier demigods were brought in to cast the spells, those fifth- or sixth-tier dark creatures would not be so easily ignited, let alone cause such a large-scale fire.
Fire magic will quickly go out once it loses the magician's support, but the three-legged golden crow truly burns everything with its own high temperature, and it does so from every angle.
If they hadn't deliberately kept their rear area under control, their entire territory would probably have been burned down.
"No, no, we have to retreat a bit more. This temperature is just too high!" A lord said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The power of the Three-Legged Golden Crow alone was nothing, but igniting the entire star field made the temperature terrifying. Not to mention them, even Ye Chen himself was having trouble with it. He quickly summoned the Three-Legged Golden Crow back and led everyone to retreat to the rear.
It wasn't until everyone withdrew from this star field that they felt a little better, but even across the distant star field, they could still see the dazzling flames in the distance. These were the lights emitted by the dark creatures that had set off most of the star field. Even an eighth-tier lord probably had never done such a thing.
Ye Chen was sitting in the lord's mansion, watching his merit points soar at an alarming rate—tens of thousands? Millions? Tens of millions? No, his merit points were finally increasing in the hundreds of millions; it was an incredibly terrifying growth rate.
One hundred million, two hundred million, three hundred million... Soon Ye Chen's merit points broke through one billion and rushed toward two billion. Moreover, as time went on, this growth rate did not slow down, but changed from a rapid increase of a large number of small numbers to a rapid change of large numbers.
Finally, the growth rate gradually slowed down when Ye Chen's merit points exceeded 3 billion. However, if things continued as they were, breaking 4 billion would definitely not be a problem. Whether it could reach 5 billion was up to fate.
"What a pity! Most of them are summoned creatures. If they were all real dark creatures, I might be able to buy back a Cavern of Time in this wave, right?" Ye Chen thought with a hint of regret. However, he also knew that this was just wishful thinking. If they were all dark creatures, they would probably have to run away before the fire was even lit.
