The Terror of Its Might
Looking at the enormous Flame Array in the sky, even those in very distant places were filled with fear and shock, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The once bustling crowd on the street instantly turned into chaos. People ran in all directions, searching for places to escape the high temperature, with cries and screams rising and falling.
"What... what kind of Dou Technique is this?!"
The ferocious smile on Elder Heavenly Serpent's face froze completely, as if it had been instantly imprinted on his face. In its place was boundless fear and horror. His face was ashen white, devoid of any color, and his body trembled uncontrollably, his teeth chattering incessantly.
Within this massive Flame Array, he clearly felt a true destructive force, powerful enough to completely erase him from this world! That force was like an invisible giant hand, tightly gripping his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe, almost suffocating him.
Endless regret gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake.
He regretted that he shouldn't have coveted the gains from capturing the Woeful Poison Body, shouldn't have become Lin Ming's enemy, and shouldn't have gotten involved in this struggle.
Why provoke Lin Ming, a monster-like being? If time could be reversed, he would rather hide in the Ice River Valley for the rest of his life and never cause any more trouble.
Tian Shuang Zi, who had always maintained a calm and indifferent expression, now had an extremely serious look on her face, her eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity and vigilance!
His once calm and unwavering eyes were now fixed on the slowly rotating Flame Array in the sky, which was constantly absorbing the power of heaven and earth, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
From that formation, he clearly sensed a deadly threat! It was a deathly aura that could threaten the life of a One-Star Dou Venerate, clinging to him like a leech, making the hairs on his body stand on end.
"We can't let him finish!"
Alarm bells rang in Tian Shuang Zi's mind, and he could no longer care about the demeanor of a Dou Zun expert. He knew very well that once the Flame Array was fully unleashed, even if he didn't die, he would definitely suffer severe injuries.
Thus, the vast, sea-like cold-attribute Dou Qi within Tian Shuang Zi's body erupted without reservation, and an extreme chill spread from his body, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding scorching heat.
Ice River Century!
Tian Shuang Zi thrust both hands forward with a mighty roar, unleashing his most powerful defensive Dou Technique! The vast and boundless Ice Venerate Strength surged and condensed wildly before him like a bursting dam.
In an instant, a colossal glacier stretching across the sky and earth suddenly formed!
This glacier is not a physical entity, but is composed entirely of extremely condensed ice-elemental energy.
It is crystal clear, as if it were carved from the purest crystal, and exudes an eternally cold aura, as if it can freeze time within it.
A thick layer of frost covered the glacier, shimmering with a cold light.
The glacier was several meters high and more than ten meters wide, like a sleeping ice dragon lying between heaven and earth, protecting Tian Shuang Zi and Tian She behind it.
This "Ice River Century" is a defensive Dou Technique at the peak of the Earth Tier High-grade, with power infinitely close to that of the Heaven Tier. It is the strongest defensive means that Tian Shuang Zi relies on for survival.
However, the instant Tian Shuang Zi's glacier took shape, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Ming's eyes, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the seemingly indestructible, massive glacier without the slightest fear. He pressed his hands down sharply, like a god who ruled over heaven and earth, issuing his final command!
"Five Rounds Leaving Fire Array, Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea! Fall!"
Rumble--!!!
The massive Flame Array roared into operation, with five colors of flames spinning and merging wildly within it.
The cyan-gold flames offer sharp penetrating power, the Mysterious Yellow flames offer immense strength, the red flames offer extreme high temperatures, the blue flames offer eerie destructive power, and the transparent flames offer the property of devouring everything.
The five flames intertwined and permeated each other, eventually transforming into a Chaos pillar of flame with a diameter exceeding one hundred feet, containing the characteristics of the five Heavenly Flames, seemingly capable of incinerating even the Heaven and Earth Rules!
This beam of light, like God punishment, carrying the will to destroy everything, crashed down from the sky.
Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was instantly incinerated, leaving behind a long vacuum trail. The surface of the beam shimmered with Chaos light, emanating a terrifying aura that instilled despair, as if it would burn the entire world into nothingness!
The Chaos flames, like a falling star, slammed into the massive glacier that stretched between heaven and earth!
"Crack... Bang!!!"
The moment they made contact, a crisp, piercing cracking sound rang out first.
The glacier, which seemed indestructible and capable of withstanding attacks from Heaven Tier Dou Technique, could only withstand the terrifying power of the Chaos flame pillar for less than a breath before its surface was covered with dense cracks.
The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, instantly covering the entire glacier.
Immediately afterward, a deafening roar resounded, and the massive glacier shattered like fragile glass! Countless ice crystal fragments flew everywhere like a meteor shower. However, upon contact with the surrounding scorching air, these ice crystal fragments were instantly vaporized by the high temperature and vanished without a trace!
The Chaos, fiery pillar of light continued its relentless advance, like an angry fire dragon.
It instantly caught up with Elder Heavenly Serpent, who was trying to escape! This Nine-Star Dou Zong was already terrified, his Dou Qi surging wildly within him as he tried to speed up his escape from this land of death.
However, his speed was as slow as a snail's crawl in the face of the Chaos flames.
The pillar of flames instantly engulfed Elder Heavenly Serpent!
This Ice River Valley elder, a powerful figure who could dominate the entire Middle Continent and possessed the strength of Half-Step Dou Venerate, didn't even have time to utter a scream before his body was rapidly burned and melted by the extreme heat generated by four true Heavenly Flames plus one Quasi-Heavenly Flame.
His Dou Qi Armor, clothing, bones, meridians, and even soul were all vaporized into the smallest particles under this terrifying high temperature, completely annihilated. Apart from a Storage Ring falling from the sky, not a trace was left behind!
Immediately afterward, the Chaos flame beam continued forward without pause, slamming violently into Tian Shuang Zi, whose face was filled with horror as he desperately erected layers of ice shields in front of him!
"No--!!!"
Tian Shuang Zi let out a desperate and unwilling roar, his voice filled with endless fear and regret.
He watched helplessly as the destructive pillar of fire hurtled towards him, powerless to dodge. The cold-attribute Dou Qi within his body surged wildly, erecting layer upon layer of ice shields in front of him.
These ice shields were stacked layer upon layer, numbering in the dozens, each layer containing powerful defensive capabilities. However, before the pillar of Chaos flames, these ice shields were as fragile as paper, utterly vulnerable!
Wherever the beam of fire passed, dozens of layers of ice shields shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of ice crystal powder.
The terrifying high temperature and destructive energy surged into Tian Shuang Zi's body like a flood bursting its banks, wantonly destroying his meridians, bones, internal organs, and even his soul! He could clearly feel his body being rapidly burned, and his life force rapidly draining away.
"Puff!"
Tian Shuang Zi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs and ice shards. The blood sprayed into the air and was instantly evaporated into a blood mist by the high temperature.
He flew backward like a kite with a broken string. His body was charred black, his once flowing white hair was burned away, and his clothes were reduced to ashes, revealing his equally charred skin underneath.
His breath was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, so weak that it crashed heavily onto the ground thousands of meters away, creating a huge crater in the hard ground. Smoke and dust filled the air, and his fate was unknown!
The Five Rounds Leaving Fire Array, with a single strike, vaporized a Nine-Star Dou Zong expert and severely injured a One-Star Dou Venerate! Such terrifying power was enough to shake the entire Dou Qi Continent!
The massive Flame Array in the sky slowly dissipated, and the five-colored flames transformed back into five streams of light, flying back into Lin Ming's body.
Lin Ming's face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, and his body swayed violently, almost falling from mid-air.
Having already fought a fierce battle with the Tian She, and now maintaining the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Array for such a long time while unleashing such a powerful attack, he had almost exhausted all of his Dou Qi and Soul Power.
Moreover, the effects of the Heavenly Fire Three Xuan Transformations ended at that very moment, and a strong sense of weakness surged over him like a tidal wave, making Lin Ming almost unable to stand, and even his eyelids became heavy.
Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan, who had been protecting Lin Ming, were now filled with worry.
Seeing that Lin Ming was in bad shape, they quickly stepped forward and supported his swaying body from both sides.
Xiao Yi Xian quickly took out a precious pill from her bosom and carefully fed it to Lin Ming. At the same time, she circulated her internal Dou Qi to help Lin Ming refine the pill and restore his strength.
Zi Yan cautiously looked around to prevent any enemies from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
The battlefield was deathly silent.
The sounds of fierce fighting and roars had long since disappeared, leaving only the lingering heat and the acrid smell of burning flesh, silently testifying to the terror and brutality of the attack.
The people throughout the entire Middle Continent, within a radius of several dozen miles, stopped fleeing and stared in disbelief at the battlefield gradually returning to calm in the sky, their faces filled with shock and awe.
From this day forward, the name Lin Ming will truly be known throughout the entire Middle Continent region.
