Therefore, the creation of the ultimate version of Sun Salutation must be done away from the crowd. He didn’t want Dongwu City to be in chaos like the animals in this mountain.

Buzz~

Suddenly, a presence approached. Baiyi was somewhat surprised but did not stop crafting the Sun Salutation since whatever was coming seemed... non-threatening.

"It really is you...."

Not far from Baiyi, a woman appeared, dressed scantily, with a tail and wings.

It was an Enchanting Demon. Her delicate features, revealing clothes, pink eyes, and the heart-shaped end of her black tail were all easily arousing desires in people.

"3...2..."

"Wait, it’s been years. Why have you become so irritable? Don’t you recognize me?"

The Enchanting Demon’s pink eyes shimmered with desire, and her tail swayed restlessly behind her as she slowly approached Baiyi: "So heartless... huh..."

Boom~

Blood splattered everywhere, and the Enchanting Demon was crushed into a mist of blood by a powerful Spiritual Power, drifting down the mountain with the wind.

Baiyi was undisturbed and continued creating the Sun Salutation.

He had no romantic history, let alone with an Enchanting Demon; such a creature that absorbed vitality was too terrifying for a physically frail Alchemist.

Buzz~

As the creation was nearing completion, another figure approached at an even faster speed but stopped a kilometer away, hovering in the air.

This time it was also an Enchanting Demon, seemingly more mature than the previous one. More importantly, she was a Golden Middle Tier Enchanting Demon, quite formidable.

Baiyi’s hands didn’t stop, controlling instruments to compress the final Sun Crystal Core and adding materials to enhance its explosive power.

Meanwhile, his vast Spiritual Power coalesced into a Barrett in the air, aiming at the Enchanting Demon, ready to kill her.

"Wait, I really have something to discuss with you."

A seductive female voice spoke, with a hint of pink mist in her eyes, gradually forming an image. A young man sitting on a throne looked at Baiyi with some helplessness: "Look at you, impatient, even killing your sister among the gifts."

Baiyi was somewhat surprised: "Charles? Aren’t you in the Sun Federation?"

"Yes, in the middle of a war, but I must thank you for the gift. Look."

Charles stretched out his hand with some emotion. In the midst of an incredibly dense darkness, a golden light dot appeared, then gradually spread into a semicircle, continuously discharging terrifying energy.

The land touched by the semicircle became a beautiful golden crystal, and all creatures were instantaneously vaporized under the golden glow, turning to dust.

It was like a real sun, allowing no existence to approach, with all approaching beings becoming fuel for the sun.

While completing the final step, Baiyi paused as an incredibly intense pain surged in—a sensory warning urging him to escape.

"Can you handle it? Don’t play yourself into a fatal explosion with your explosives."

Charles, somewhat gloating, released another image—a Sun Salutation explosion, seemingly even more exaggerated in size than the last. Beneath the sun’s glow, Baiyi could even see the terrified expressions of those facing death.

Baiyi felt the increasing temperature in his hands, with a large amount of materials crushed by Spiritual Power directly added to the core of the Sun Salutation, quickly cooling the surrounding high temperature.

Baiyi’s skill level was full, and such an ultimate Sun Salutation explosion required fifteen seconds, a necessary condition for Sun Crystals to become a Crystal Core, representing inert materials.

If Baiyi wanted to create an instantaneous explosive Sun Salutation, it would be simple. Just extract solar energy without adding inert materials.

Then, metamorphose in the Demon Realm using the Heart of the Fierce Sun, and after half a year, even the most top-tier instantaneous explosive Sun Salutation could be created.

However, with the same volume, a pre-reactive Sun Salutation was about 30% more potent than one without pre-reaction.

But this was for Metheus, so power was paramount.

"If you don’t speak, there’s no need to speak anymore."

Baiyi spoke calmly, and the Soul of Accumulation in the sky seemed ready to pull the trigger.

Charles paused, tapping the armrest of the throne, producing a knocking sound.

He spoke with certainty: "Since you passed something to the Sun Federation, Pu Sheng must have contacted you, right? After all, when I came to the Sun Federation, I didn’t tell you, and Pu Sheng, that bastard, has no territorial restrictions."

"Right."

Baiyi didn’t deny it, calmly activating the instrument to complete the final step. The surrounding fatal pain vanished, and the large, one-meter-diameter Sun Crystal Core disappeared as well.

In its place was an apple-sized golden sphere in Baiyi’s hand, metallic in texture, covered with veins resembling magma, with a golden button in the middle.

Once pressed, it would launch the Sun Salutation, erupting with the anger of the Fierce Sun after fifteen seconds.

Placing the Sun Salutation into the Demon Realm, Baiyi stepped back a few steps, unleashed Magic Power, moving various instruments a bit further away, and then the Power of Dimensions surged.

Buzz~

A thirty-meter-diameter ordinary Sun Salutation appeared, its golden mechanical glow illuminating the mountain top.

Charles, ready to speak, paused, his mouth twitching as he sensed that this gigantic object seemed intended to explode him.

Feeling two deadly crises through the Enchanting Demon’s body, Charles shifted his topic: "Brother Baiyi, have you ever heard of the Sea Siren?"

In the process of dismantling and preparing to rebuild the gigantic Sun Salutation, Baiyi’s eyes flashed with surprise: "Didn’t the Sea Siren get exterminated? The Sea God is dead."

"They weren’t exterminated, merely protected and sealed. Their god treated them well because they were once of the same race... after all, they are somewhat special," Charles added. "Before I say more, I need to tell you a... secret?"

"Go ahead." Baiyi didn’t look up, seemingly uninterested in Charles’ words.

Charles’ eyes showed a hint of schadenfreude: "Scarlet was entangled by a Calamity Object, its Favored betrayed it, and the mastermind... is you...."

Baiyi stopped dismantling, somewhat bewildered: ...."When?"

Charles smiled: "Pu Sheng was initially the Divine Favored of the Master of Calamity, very proficient in curses and causal elements. After all, the Calamity Object was given to him by you."

Baiyi fell silent, realizing how Charles knew about Pu Sheng’s existence...

Turns out, distancing himself too cleanly actually exposed him...

Yet Baiyi could anticipate Pu Sheng’s purpose, merely wanting to escape the shackles of the Calamity Object, whether guessed or not, it didn’t matter.

As for Calamity Objects... they aren’t numerous, but each one is something the World Consciousness repels. Even gods can’t escape the Embrace of Suffering, indicating their difficulty.

"Is Pu Sheng’s target the Sea Siren?"

"Not certain, but likely," Charles rubbed the throne’s armrest, eyes serious: "After all, when the Lord of Scarlet was betrayed, the sensed location was in the Wei Sea, and the last sensed location of the betrayer was... the Deep Sea Celestial Abyss!"

"Land of Fallen Gods...." Baiyi murmured.

The Sea Siren is the ruler of the sea. In some wild records, the first-generation Sea Siren was the Sea God’s daughter, hence able to build a colossal order among sea creatures, ruling an enormous sea area.

Only this race could truly unify the sea, not like the current scattered, weak order.

However, the unification of the sea is no good news for Ancient Gods and the Abyss....

So, Pu Sheng’s purpose seems intriguing...

Unless...

Baiyi thought of something, showing some astonishment, turning to Charles: "Are those Rules and Divine Artifacts in the hands of the Sea Siren?"

Charles, indifferent, replied: "Who knows? I’m merely informing you of something you didn’t know; the rest... it doesn’t matter."

Reflecting on something, Charles waved his hand: "That’s it then. Hiss~ It’s somewhat troublesome... By the way, although the Enchanting Demon’s sister is dead, her elder sister is still yours. She’s non-aggressive."

Boom~

Bang!

[You defeated a Golden....]

"Tsk, just like you..."

The last whisper came from the blood mist, then the mountains fell silent.

Baiyi also stopped his actions.
