Chapter 1549: Chapter 1546: The Solar Golden Crow!

Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon clears the path at the front, with Li Chen following closely behind.

Upon reaching the fifteenth kilometer, Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon feigned fatigue, indicating it could only come this far, leaving the remaining four thousand meters of ice layer to Li Chen.

Li Chen nodded slightly and said, "Alright, you’ve worked hard!"

Li Chen studied the ice layer for a moment and then used his finger as a blade to carve a circle on the surface of the ice layer.

Now, he ordered Fire Phoenix to scorch the designated circle on the ice layer with flames.

Unfortunately, the temperature was really too low here.

Fire Phoenix’s fierce flames were not effective, achieving only half the desired results. It struggled immensely but only managed to penetrate one thousand meters.

At this rate, even if Fire Phoenix worked itself to death, it would be unable to burn through the remaining three thousand meters.

Seeing this situation, Li Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Suddenly!

His eyes lit up as he summoned forth the Chi Dragon Divine Spear.

The Chi Dragon Divine Spear could penetrate the entire Himalayas in a few breaths, so piercing through these three thousand meters of ice layer wouldn’t be a difficult task.

When Chi Dragon Divine Spear heard that Li Chen wanted it to do hard labor again, it was clearly displeased.

However, under Li Chen’s coercion and temptation, it obediently complied.

Activated, the Chi Dragon Divine Spear resembled a super drill, easily piercing through the three thousand meters of ice.

Soon after, the remaining ice layer was completely penetrated.

Li Chen finally saw the Water Attribute Formation Crystal Stone he had longed for!

This Water Attribute Formation Crystal Stone was surrounded by flowing fresh water.

It resembled a spring!

With a slight maneuver, Li Chen set up a restrictive "Yu" near the spring and relocated it entirely into his storage space.

Now, Four-cornered Golden Swallowing Beast, Fire Phoenix, Earth Bear, Ju Mang, and Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon, these Five Elements Ancient Divine Beasts, had all been enlisted by Li Chen.

The Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth crystals from the formation were also secured by Li Chen.

However, despite having gathered all Five Elements, something was still missing.

After all, this was a very complex combination formation.

These Five Elements Formation Crystal Stones merely served as the centers of five regions. The most crucial piece—the Formation Eye—was still absent.

Only by finding the Formation Eye could the Five Elements Extinguishing God Formation be completed.

The Formation Eye, as the name suggests, is the core location of a major formation.

Within the Solar System, there’s only one core: the Sun!

The Sun, a star, constitutes 99.86% of the Solar System’s total mass.

Moreover, within the entire Solar System, whether a major planet or a minor planet, comet, or even meteor, all revolve around this overseer.

Li Chen gazed at the Sun for a long moment before finally querying, "Do any of you know what resides within the Sun?"

"It’s the Golden Crow!"

Fire Phoenix promptly replied.

At the mention of "Golden Crow," Li Chen’s brow slightly furrowed.

Golden Crow, a presence even higher than Fire Phoenix and the others.

If Fire Phoenix, Earth Bear, and Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon could be planetary dominators.

Then, Golden Crow was the rightful ruler of the stars.

Golden Crow’s combat power rivals that of the Mahayana Divine Monarch!

Based on Li Chen’s current cultivation level, facing a Mahayana Divine Monarch would be utterly hopeless.

If that weren’t the case, he would not have exerted so much effort assembling the Five Elements Extinguishing God Formation.

However, things had reached this point, and retreating in battle was no longer an option for him.

No matter how powerful the Golden Crow within the Sun was, he had to confront it and subdue it.

Of course, Li Chen didn’t immediately venture into the Sun.

Instead, he found a safe spot nearby to refine the crystals gathered from Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury, absorbing them into himself, reaching the pinnacle of his current state.

If he could break through the bottleneck of the Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm and step into the threshold of a Mahayana Divine Monarch.

Then he would have the confidence that the outcome against Golden Crow could be fifty-fifty.

It’s a pity, after devouring all the crystals he collected, he hadn’t succeeded in breaking through that seemingly paper-thin threshold.

Admittedly, if he wanted to forcibly break through, it wasn’t impossible.

Yet, doing so would prevent him from establishing a perfect foundation. His cultivation might linger indefinitely, never progressing by even an inch.

Such action would be akin to killing the hen to get the egg.

Li Chen wasn’t foolish and naturally wouldn’t do something stupid like that.

Once he reached the pinnacle of his cultivation state, Li Chen departed from Mercury.

However, he still hadn’t entered the Sun to confront Golden Crow directly.

He planned to first return to Earth to handle some necessary matters, preparing for any eventualities.

Ever since reconciling with the Mayan Star people, technological development on Earth had noticeably leapt to a new level.

At this time, the Mayan Star people are fervently engaged in infrastructure projects on Mars.

It seems they truly plan to make Mars their home to cultivate it.

Witnessing this scene, Li Chen found himself hesitant to reveal to them the brutally harsh truth that it won’t be long before the entire Solar System might face catastrophic disaster.

Yet, after careful consideration, Li Chen decided to disclose part of the truth to the Mayan Star people.

After all, now everyone was on the same boat, bearing an obligation to make them aware of some facts.

This would benefit the unfolding of his comprehensive plan.

Nonetheless, Li Chen merely mentioned lightly that a foreign threat had discovered the Solar System and might invade, assuring them that if everyone worked together, victory against the invaders could be achieved.

If not, he truly feared the Mayan Star people might panic and flee prematurely.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Mayan Star people understood they were now on his pirate ship.

However, observing Li Chen’s confident demeanor, not considering the invaders seriously.

They were led to logically assume that the invaders this time were not a significant concern.

They themselves, after all, had once been invaders of the Solar System.

What was the end result?

Thinking this, those Mayan Star people started worrying the new invaders, if defeated by Li Chen, might stay in the Solar System to conduct infrastructure work.

If so, it could harm the Mayan people’s interests in the Solar System.

Thus, the leader of the Mayan Star people, Hei Bulun, repeatedly stressed to Li Chen that Mars was now their territory, sacred and inviolable, and must not be shared with outsiders.

To this, Li Chen willingly agreed.

Anyways, first, stabilize the Mayan Star people.

Afterward, he gathered all his family members, uncle Li Lingyun, Vermilion Bird, and other key figures from the United States, Europe, and Africa.

Even the Mayan Star people’s leader, Hei Bulun, attended the meeting.

Once everyone was present, Li Chen announced a very bold decision.

Deploy all nuclear bombs within the Kuiper Belt.

It’s a middle hollow circular disk area with dense celestial bodies, considered the outer boundary of the Solar System beyond the orbit of Neptune.

If there indeed were invaders entering the Solar System, this would be a mandatory pathway!

Upon hearing Li Chen’s bold move, everyone was shocked.

Quickly, voices of dissent arose.

"With this many nuclear bombs, won’t it blow up the entire Pluto? Affecting the Solar System’s ecological balance!"

However, at this moment, Li Chen seemed an iron-willed dictator, unwilling to hear any dissent.

Now, Li Chen’s influence on Earth was unprecedented.

Some protested, only to be told their protests were invalid.

Deploying nuclear bombs in the Kuiper Belt entered the agenda.

Over the years, to cope with sea beast chaos, previously restricted nuclear weapons developed rapidly.

Not only major countries had considerable nuclear arsenals, even tiny states had a certain number stored.

Under Li Chen’s strong orders, a total of three million various nuclear bombs globally were transported by the Mayan Star people’s interstellar warships to the Kuiper Belt for deployment.

This was Li Chen’s precaution against the Dinosaur Army.

If the Dinosaur Army dared invade the Solar System, these three million nuclear bombs would ensure they drink their fill...
