I Contracted Myself-Chapter 70 – Great Sun Red Emperor Form
"Blazing Great Sun, Scorching Proud Sun, Morning as the Eastern Lord, Evening as the Red Emperor!"
A streak of blood-red flame trickled from the corner of Feng Laixian's eye as he recited the ancient ballad passed down through generations in Mingzhu City with a deep, resonant voice.
In the myths of Mingzhu City, the deity who wielded the power of the sun was known as the Sun King. In the morning, he appeared as the Eastern Lord, and by evening, he transformed into the Red Emperor.
The Eastern Lord governed life, while the Red Emperor ruled over death.
In the legends, the Red Emperor once incinerated the heavens and boiled the seas during the Twilight of the Kings, slaughtering millions of demon gods. He was a true god of war.
As the ballad echoed, Feng Laixian's hair turned crimson, and waves of scorching heat emanated from his body, turning the surrounding area into a charred wasteland in an instant.
"What is this..."
Moon Shadow squinted, feeling that Feng Laixian was becoming increasingly dazzling.
Light?
No, that's not it!
There was no light, so why was it so... blinding?
Moon Shadow couldn't comprehend Feng Laixian's transformation, but its combat instincts told it that it had to interrupt Feng Laixian's metamorphosis.
In an instant, it manipulated invisible psychic energy to form a large net that enveloped Feng Laixian. Because its psychic energy was sharp, any prey caught in the net would be sliced into pieces.
Although Feng Laixian couldn't see the psychic energy, he could sense the omnipresent killing intent.
Yet he neither dodged nor flinched. Instead, he closed his eyes, carefully attuning himself to the sun hanging high in the sky.

He needed to resonate with the sun to enter the Great Sun Red Emperor form. Whether it was reciting the ancient ballad or staring directly at the sun, these were all means of achieving resonance.
"Blazing Great Sun, Scorching Proud Sun, Morning as the Eastern Lord, Evening as the Red Emperor!"
Just as the psychic net was about to slice into Feng Laixian's skin, a crimson flame appeared out of thin air, incinerating the psychic energy in an instant.
Then, the red flames formed a fiery tornado, swirling madly around Feng Laixian.
When the flames dispersed, Feng Laixian's appearance had drastically changed.
His height had surged to three meters, his clothes were now made entirely of blood-red flames, his hair burned like fire, and his eyes seemed to contain the sun, radiating a terrifying divine light.
The temperature of the entire clearing rose rapidly. From his feet, the scorched earth cracked like a spiderweb, with glowing fissures that seemed to have magma flowing within.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" he said, looking at Moon Shadow and speaking slowly.
Moon Shadow's nose twitched as it looked at its beautiful silver fur, which was now emitting a burnt smell.
It then grabbed the ground with both hands and pulled, causing the surrounding shadows to flow onto its body like water, forming a black cloak that could insulate against the high temperature.
It had no interest in conversing with its prey. The Moon Prince's order was to kill Feng Laixian and his companions, and its sole focus was the battle!
In an instant, both sides moved simultaneously.
Feng Laixian waved his hand, unleashing the Great Sun True Fire towards Moon Shadow, leaving a trail of red flames in its wake. But Moon Shadow leaped into the air, then controlled the shadow cloak to spin, diving towards Feng Laixian.
Swoosh!
Moon Shadow's claws struck Feng Laixian's chest, its long fingers piercing into his body.
The heart?
Moon Shadow had killed many people and knew human hearts inside out.
It had pinpointed the location of Feng Laixian's heartbeat earlier, which was why it attacked the chest. But it didn't find Feng Laixian's heart.
"In the Great Sun Red Emperor form, all my physical attributes are enhanced, including reaction speed, hearing, and smell. Your attack intent was too obvious. Didn't anyone teach you not to look at the target spot but to see the whole picture?" Feng Laixian seized Moon Shadow's wrist and spoke slowly.
Moon Shadow was incredibly fast. Even in the Great Sun Red Emperor form, Feng Laixian had no speed advantage.
So when he saw Moon Shadow diving towards him, he judged its attack target in his mind.
If it were just him, it would have been difficult to defend against Moon Shadow's attack. But with Zhang Ping's assistance inside him, Zhang Ping had moved his heart away before Moon Shadow's attack, causing it to miss.
One punch!
Two punches!
Three punches!
Feng Laixian smiled as he tightly gripped Moon Shadow's wrist with one hand and landed three consecutive punches on Moon Shadow's head with the other.
For an ordinary opponent, these three punches would have ended the fight.
But Moon Shadow only felt dizzy. It immediately kicked Feng Laixian's waist with both legs, trying to break free, but Feng Laixian grabbed its other free hand, putting them in a deadlock, resembling '互' .
Moon Shadow's legs pressed against Feng Laixian's abdomen, but Feng Laixian held its hands tightly, not letting it escape his control.
"Fighting a beast is indeed different from fighting a human," Feng Laixian sighed.
If it were a human, the difference in physical attributes would make it much easier. But Mutated Beasts not only had powerful superpowers but also stronger bodies than humans.
Without human intelligence, most Mutated Beasts could easily prey on humans.
Feng Laixian looked at Moon Shadow and took a deep breath, his chest swelling rapidly.
"Not good!"
Moon Shadow sensed danger. Its leg muscles bulged, veins popping out, but Feng Laixian's hands also bulged with muscle, clearly holding on with all his strength.
Chaos Breath!
Feng Laixian opened his mouth and blasted Moon Shadow.
It was a real blast, ten times more powerful than the Chaos Breath from the previous night, and it carried the Great Sun True Fire, making it extremely lethal.
Boom!
A loud explosion.
The wind howled around the clearing, red flames mixed with explosive air currents engulfed Moon Shadow. Its once beautiful silver fur was instantly scorched, and it struggled madly in the flames. Finally, with a ripping sound, it was sent flying, crashing heavily into a distant wall, creating a large hole.
Feng Laixian followed Moon Shadow's trajectory, lifting his head sharply, flames sweeping towards the distance, passing through the hole and landing far away before finally stopping.
"So strong!"
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Zhang Ping looked at the smoking ground and the rolling magma, feeling a sense of awe.
Especially the marks left by Feng Laixian's attack along Moon Shadow's trajectory, now resembling a three-meter-wide river of magma.
If he were to fight Feng Laixian, Feng Laixian's normal state would be enough to crush him.
Most of his abilities were completely countered by Feng Laixian, and the only one that could restrain Feng Laixian, the Fire Eater, required a flesh-and-blood body to use.
But given their physical differences, maintaining a flesh-and-blood body would make him even more vulnerable to Feng Laixian.
Zhang Ping pondered, realizing his biggest weakness was dealing with opponents like Feng Laixian.
At this moment, Feng Laixian threw the fox arm in his hand into the magma and strode towards the direction where Moon Shadow had been sent flying.
As he reached the wall, countless shadows suddenly intertwined from both sides, targeting not him but his shadow.
In an instant, his shadow was pierced with several holes.
Simultaneously, identical blood holes appeared in his body, and blood gushed out.
"Watch out!"
Zhang Ping quickly began repairing Feng Laixian's injuries.
"It's fine, these minor wounds are nothing!"
Feng Laixian steadied himself, slowly retreating to a spot under the sun, using the Great Sun True Fire to disperse the surrounding shadows.
His ability could counter Moon Shadow's, but he had been careless. He hadn't expected the Shadow Guard's ability to combine with Shadow Strike.
The Shadow Guard ability, as identified by Zhang Ping, seemed purely defensive, but in practice, it could also be used offensively in conjunction with Shadow Strike, creating a powerful ambush effect.
If he weren't in the Great Sun Red Emperor form, that ambush could have killed him.
But in this form, these wounds were just minor injuries.
