The Terrifying Myriad Beast Spirit Flame
At Lin Ming's command, the five enormous Fire Spirit, like the most loyal and fearless warriors, crashed headlong into the surging torrent of Beast Soul!
Wolf Spirit charged and tore through the air, leaving trails of fire in their wake; wherever they passed, low-level Beast Soul melted away like snow. Spirit Leopard were elusive and swift, flickering through the soul tide, targeting powerful Soul Shadow for deadly Sectarian Qi attacks; their claws scattered the killing intent in their wake. Spirit Lion roared majestically, their Sound Wave mixed with the Power of Exotic Flame, forming ripples of destruction that shattered any approaching Beast Soul. Spirit Tiger were ferocious and savage, their attack seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart; each strike of their massive paws cleared a large area. Spirit Dragon swirled above the soul tide, spitting out scorching fireballs, their dragon tails sweeping like a firestorm, annihilating the flying Beast Soul attempting to take flight and surround Lin Ming.
The clash between flames and Sectarian Qi, the annihilation of energy and souls, unfolded to its extreme in this core area.
The deafening roar continued unabated, as if countless thunderbolts were exploding simultaneously! The Jade Profound Heart Flame and the dark gray evil Sectarian Qi intertwined and eroded each other wildly, bursting out with blinding light and chaotic energy turbulence.
With their overwhelming numbers, the torrent of Beast Soul surged like a black tide, wave after wave crashing against the defensive line constructed by the five Fire Spirit. Beast Soul howled and turned into wisps of smoke in the flames, but even more Beast Soul charged forward one after another, using their soul bodies to frantically attack and tear at the Flame Giant Spirit, causing the light of the Fire Spirit to dim at a visible speed.
The scene instantly descended into extreme chaos, violence, and brutal slaughter!
Lin Ming himself, amidst the chaotic energy storm and roaring soul tide, transformed himself into a dazzling emerald meteor!
Ignoring the constantly annihilating Beast Soul and flames around him, his gaze was like torches, fixed on the blood-red demon emperor that was swooping down like a blood-red calamity, carrying Destructive Aura! Instead of retreating, he advanced, going against the current!
"Condensing fire into armor, transforming flames into a halberd!"
His mind raced, and the emerald Sea of Fire that had been spreading around him seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, rapidly converging and compressing towards his physical body!
In the blink of an eye, a set of Mysterious Runes Emerald Flame armor, with an extremely ferocious appearance, covering every inch of the body's vital points, and flowing with mysterious runes that seemed to be alive, was formed! Flames flowed over the armor, emanating an indestructible and powerful aura that could ward off all evil!
At the same time, he loosely clenched his right hand, and the immense Power of Exotic Flame and the vast Dou Qi within his body surged wildly into his palm!
A massive flaming halberd, several meters long, formed entirely from the purest Jade Profound Heart Flame, with flame Dragon Pattern coiled around its body and its blade so hot that the space itself was constantly distorting and fluctuating, instantly materialized!
The moment the halberd appeared, it exuded a sharp, all-encompassing aura!
"Break!"
Facing the crimson flames that could melt mountains into magma and evaporate rivers instantly, Lin Ming showed no fear, only a boiling fighting spirit!
He let out a thunderous roar, his feet slamming into the void, ripples spreading beneath his feet. His muscles bulged as he gripped the heavy, flaming halberd, swinging it in a wide arc, pouring all his strength and will into it. With a terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and cutting off rivers, he slashed fiercely and precisely at the very center of the destructive torrent!
"BOOM--!!!"
The sharp edge of the halberd clashed violently with the concentrated crimson breath! At this moment, it was as if two ancient stars had collided and exploded here!
An indescribable blinding light instantly engulfed everything in the center of the battle, causing Elder Yao, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan, who were engaged in fierce combat in the distance, to instinctively squint! What followed was a deafening roar that was enough to shatter eardrums and make one's soul tremble!
The terrifying energy Shockwave, like a tangible tsunami of destruction, spread out wildly in a perfect ring from the point of impact!
The already boiling crimson lake below was forced into a huge depression by this enormous force, which then stirred up a terrifying wave hundreds of meters high, mixed with the scattered fragments of Beast Soul, and slapped in all directions!
Even the Beast Soul and the five Flame Giant Spirit that were fiercely battling each other were violently pushed away by this irresistible Shockwave, and their formation was thrown into chaos!
At the epicenter of the explosion, Lin Ming's body trembled violently, as if he had been struck in the chest by an invisible giant hammer. The flaming battle halberd, which had been imbued with a large amount of his Dou Qi and the Heavenly Flame Origin, shattered into countless flying emerald sparks in this straightforward and unadorned collision, with nearly a third of the blade and part of the halberd body at the front.
But his eyes remained sharp as knives, his teeth clenched, and with his extraordinary cultivation and unparalleled control over the Heavenly Flames, he forcefully cleaved the destructive breath apart with the remaining fragments of his battle halberd! The two halves of the breath transformed into two uncontrolled, slightly thinner torrents of energy, carrying a mournful howl as they narrowly missed him, crashing heavily into the snow -White Bone Mountain behind him!
"Boom! Boom!"
Two muffled, loud thuds resounded as the hard, ancient Bone Mountain, as if struck by a giant axe of God, was instantly sliced off in two large chunks. Countless bones turned to dust in the energy, leaving behind two shockingly large craters!
The crimson Giant Dragon let out a roar mixed with pain and rage. The crimson flames in its eyes flickered violently. It was clear that it had not expected that this human, whom it considered insignificant, could withstand its full-force breath attack head-on and even make it feel a trace of the burning pain in its very essence.
Its enormous dragon claw, covered with layers of scales resembling blood-red Crystal Stone, followed closely behind with a fierce wind that Space-Tearing, leaving five faint black streaks. Like swatting a fly, it slammed down fiercely towards Lin Ming, whose body was not yet fully stable! Even before the claw wind arrived, the terrifying pressure had already caused the flame armor surrounding Lin Ming to flicker erratically!
"You think I'm afraid of you!"
Lin Ming's fighting spirit soared. He took a deep breath, suppressed his surging Qi and Blood, and his Dou Qi surged once more.
Lin Ming made a grasping motion with both hands, and the shattered halberd instantly reformed from the remaining flames. Without flinching, he wielded the flaming halberd, pushing his halberd techniques to their limit, transforming them into sharp emerald halberd shadows that fiercely clashed with the enormous, sky-covering dragon claw!
"Clang--!!!"
Another deafening clang, like the striking of an ancient divine bell, erupted! The sound solidified into tangible Sound Wave, mingling with splashing Emerald Flame and crimson light, sweeping out like a storm!
Lin Ming felt an irresistible force coming from the halberd, and his body was uncontrollably thrown back dozens of meters. His Qi and Blood surged like a raging sea, and his arms holding the halberd felt a sharp numbness and pain, with his tiger's mouth throbbing slightly.
On the other hand, the blood-red Giant Dragon's incredibly hard claws showed obvious charred marks where the Jade Profound Heart Flame had struck them head-on, and even some of its blood-red crystal scales had cracked!
Although crimson energy immediately surged from the lake, rapidly repairing the damage, the attack was clearly not without its consequences, enraging it even more!
At this point, the battle had entered its most brutal and frenzied phase, reaching a fever pitch.
Relying on the Jade Profound Heart Flame's innate ability to restrain soul energy, and the ever-changing and exquisite Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method, Lin Ming charged left and right through the seemingly endless tide of Beast Soul, his figure as swift as lightning, engaging in earth-shattering head-on clashes with the enormous blood-red Giant Dragon time and time again.
The flaming halberd clashed repeatedly with the ferocious dragon claws, the dragon tail that swept across the battlefield, and the dragon's mouth that occasionally lashed out with its teeth. Each clash unleashed a deafening roar and a destructive energy storm, turning this core area upside down!
However, the situation remains far from optimistic for Lin Ming.
The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame took root in the Seven-Colored Lake, receiving the support of the lake's abundant Life Source Energy and countless Beast Soul, making its energy virtually inexhaustible!
Even if Lin Ming shattered parts of the blood Giant Dragon's body or injured it, it could instantly draw energy from the lake and the Beast Soul, recovering completely in the blink of an eye. In fact, due to its anger and the battle, its aura became even more violent and ferocious.
Those Beast Soul, completely unaware of fear or pain, relentlessly charged forward, like a persistent carbuncle, constantly draining Lin Ming's Dou Qi, physical strength, and mental energy.
In the short time it took to fight, Lin Ming had inevitably sustained several wounds.
Unable to dodge in time, he was slashed across the side by the edge of the Giant Dragon's swung tail. The flame armor covering him shattered instantly, and the clothes from his shoulders to his ribs turned to ashes in an instant. His skin was torn open, and he was covered in blood and gore, feeling a burning pain.
On another occasion, while he was fully engaged in dealing with the Giant Dragon's frontal attack, several cunning Beast Soul, whose auras had reached the Dou Zong level and were hidden deep within the soul tide, seized the opportunity and launched a fatal sneak attack from behind! Sharp soul claws tore through the flame protection of his vest, leaving several terrifying claw marks that were deep enough to expose bone. The blood that had just gushed out was burned and solidified by the high temperature around him and the Power of Exotic Flame, but the excruciating pain and the weakness brought about by the instantaneous loss of a large amount of blood clearly reminded him of the cruelty of this battle.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Flames protected him in time, and he had also practiced body-refining techniques in the past, which made Lin Ming's physical body far stronger than others of the same level. This is why these injuries did not damage Lin Ming's core.
But the burning pain, the constant loss of blood, and the rapid depletion of his energy were like alarm bells, frantically ringing in his mind—this battle could not continue like this! Otherwise, he would be the first to be worn down and die!
"We can't let this drag on!" Lin Ming's mind raced, his brain analyzing the battle situation at an unprecedented speed. "We must sever its energy connection with the lake and the Beast Soul, cutting off its supply! Or, we must gather all our strength and, with overwhelming force, instantly suppress and crush its core consciousness!"
With this in mind, taking advantage of the force of his collision with the Giant Dragon, Lin Ming immediately retreated.
