As there was no better solution, this was the reason Fu Shan said so.
After a while, Fang Li returned to inform everyone:
"General Luo Cheng from A-2 Base has already set out first thing, and we have been granted permission to abandon the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar and retreat if attacked by a Burning Sun Star Beast.
This is an uncontrollable factor and will not affect the evaluation of our task.
General Lin Zixu from Wusa Country has the same stance."
Everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief at these words.
It was a passive situation, but there was nothing they could do in the face of a Burning Sun-level threat.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Tu Yuan said, "Then keep a close watch on the situation in the depths of the You Man Forest and wait for reinforcements."
Shen Tu Yuan then looked at Yellow Lion Tiger and Su Yuan: "Major Huang and Envoy Su, let’s go deep and check the specifics."
No one was surprised that Shen Tu Yuan called Su Yuan along, as Su Yuan’s strength had already been thoroughly recognized by everyone present.
"Alright." Su Yuan and Yellow Lion Tiger agreed immediately.
Shen Tu Yuan instructed, "Zhang Qianyi, lead us there. The others stay to guard the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar."
"Yes!"
After making arrangements, Su Yuan and a few others followed Zhang Qianyi into the depth of the You Man Forest...
With Su Yuan’s Space Gate, the group moved quickly.
After a long journey, they arrived in a mountainous area where the trees towered high.
Zhang Qianyi pointed to the distance with a slight frown: "It’s underground!"
Su Yuan and the others faintly sensed an aura coming from deep underground in the distance.
The aura was not clear, but its strength was undeniably above the Radiant Moon level!
Su Yuan expanded his All-Knowing Vision, looking down through the ground.
His vision was obscured, seeing only a blistering sphere like the sun!
This wasn’t real fire but Spirit Flame continuously released, compressed, and highly condensed during the Burning Sun breakthrough process, called the "Sun Corona"!
The energy intensity of the Spirit Flame in the Sun Corona was several to dozens of times greater than the Star Power in the Star Core, capable of instantly vaporizing any Radiant Moon-level being that approached!
This was a self-protection method during the Burning Sun breakthrough, beyond the capability of the Radiant Moon-level to penetrate.
"It’s really about to break through..."
Silver light flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes as he looked at the massive fireball underground. The high concentration of energy in the Sun Corona made it impossible to see what kind of Star Beast was inside.
Next to him, Shen Tu Yuan gripped the hilt of his sword, taking a stance.
"Slash!"
White light flashed and a blade of unrivaled sharpness instantly cut into the ground, striking the massive fireball below.
However, the Spirit Flame on the Sun Corona burst forth, incinerating the blade light completely without leaving a trace!
Shen Tu Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Judging by the strength of this Sun Corona, it truly can’t be breached."
With just one strike, everyone knew that they couldn’t break through the Sun Corona even with their full strength.
Yellow Lion Tiger said gravely, "In that case, we can only wait to see if General Luo Cheng can provide assistance."
There was nothing else they could do. They didn’t know what kind of Star Beast was underground, whether it could break through, or when the breakthrough would happen...
All they could do was wait.
