At this moment, as Lin Ming's aura rapidly increased, a knowledgeable elder of the Flower Sect couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is... the secret technique of Blazing Flame Valley, the Heavenly Fire Three Xuan Transformations?!"
"And he can actually perform the complete Three Transformations! How is that possible? It's said that in the Blazing Flame Valley, there are only a handful of people who can master all three transformations!" Another elder was also filled with shock.
Lin Ming's ability to perform the complete Heavenly Fire Three Xuan Transformations clearly indicates that he could not have learned it by stealing; he must have obtained the true core inheritance of the Blazing Flame Valley!
How could an outsider receive such dedicated instruction from the Blazing Flame Valley?
At this moment, Lin Ming's image in everyone's mind became even more mysterious and unfathomable. The power and connections he possessed probably far exceeded their imagination.
In the square, Yun Yun stared in astonishment at Lin Ming, who stood in the sky with an overwhelming aura, like a god of fire. Her red lips parted slightly, and her heart was filled with turbulent waves.
She simply couldn't believe that this person really came from their Jia Ma Empire. His growth rate was breathtakingly fast!
"This guy... his progress is a bit too fast! It's really..."
Yun Yun murmured softly, her expression slightly complicated, her thoughts drifting back to the Monster Mountain Range many years ago. When she first met Lin Ming, he had already shown amazing talent, reaching the Dou Wang realm at a young age, which surprised her greatly.
However, Dharma Form to his current ability to single-handedly suppress a Four-Star Dou Venerate and a Six-Star Dou Venerate, and to unleash such earth-shattering secret techniques, his achievements back then were truly insignificant, like a firefly vying for the moon's brilliance!
However, after unleashing the Heavenly Fire Three Xuan Transformations to its fullest extent and stabilizing his aura at the peak of the Six-Star Dou Venerate, Lin Ming's actions did not immediately cease. His icy gaze locked onto the drastically changed expressions of the Demonic Flower Evil Lord and Hua Jin, and he slowly raised his hand, then suddenly clenched it!
"Boom!"
An even more turbulent, Dark Purple Flame, as if summoned by a king, surged and erupted wildly from its body once more! This time, the scale and temperature of the flames were far more terrifying than ever before!
Lin Ming's actions caused the temperature of this area to rise to an alarming level instantly. The plants around the square withered and turned yellow at a visible speed, the air distorted like water ripples, and even the space itself began to emit a faint "sizzling" sound, as if it could not withstand the extreme heat.
Many of the weaker Flower Sect disciples, even with their Dou Qi protecting them, instantly had their faces covered in sweat and were soaked through. The burning sensation that penetrated to the bone marrow could not be completely blocked even by Dou Qi!
Lin Ming hovered in mid-air, his entire body completely enveloped in surging flames. It was not a chaotic burning, but rather a subtle operation containing some Supreme Principle.
He held his hands in front of him, his ten fingers dancing like butterflies flitting among flowers, outlining countless profound and complex Flame Runes. As Lin Ming's hand seals changed, the raging Dark Purple Flame seemed to have found their core, frantically converging and compressing towards his palms.
A destructive wave that sent shivers down one's spine, like a slumbering Ancient Fierce Beast slowly awakening, spread outwards from Lin Ming in waves, each stronger than the last.
Above the square, the sky suddenly darkened, as if even the Heaven and Earth Energy feared the power that was about to erupt.
"This technique is called Five Dragons Paying Homage."
Lin Ming's deep voice rang out, not loud, but clearly penetrating the depths of everyone present.
"Freeze!"
At his command, the vast flame energy gathered in his palm suddenly split apart!
"Sing!" "Sing!" "Sing!" "Sing!" "Sing!"
Five roars, imbued with supreme Dragon Might, tore through the sky and shook the universe!
Five fire dragons appeared, each tens of feet long, their eyes burning, their Dragon Might overwhelming!
They were not inanimate objects, but rather seemed to possess true Dragon Soul. As they hovered and flew, Space Distortion, and they emitted a hum that seemed unable to bear the weight.
With the five dragons guarding the center, Lin Ming truly resembled the supreme ruler of Wan Huo, receiving the worship of the fire spirits! The scene was breathtakingly magnificent!
"Five... five fire dragons?! What kind of Dou Technique is this?!"
"What terrifying pressure... I feel like my Dou Qi is about to ignite!"
"Back off! Back off even further!"
Around the square, gasps and cries of horror rose and fell as the crowd retreated like a tide, fearing they would be caught in the impending storm of destruction.
Even the most powerful elders had extremely solemn expressions, and their internal Dou Qi involuntarily began to circulate in order to resist the overwhelming pressure.
The Demonic Flower Evil Lord and Hua Jin, who were the first to bear the brunt of it, felt it most deeply!
The moment the Five Dragons Paying Homage took shape, the two felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, as if the blood in their bodies had frozen at that moment!
Although they were at a disadvantage in their previous encounters, they at least still had the courage to fight back.
However, at this moment, facing these five fire dragons exuding Destructive Aura, all that arose in their hearts was boundless fear and despair!
It was a tremor stemming from the very instinct of life, the helplessness of lower creatures facing their natural enemy! They clearly felt that under this Dou Technique, they were not merely going to be defeated, but... to die! If they couldn't withstand it, they would probably be instantly incinerated into nothingness, their very souls unable to escape!
"No... impossible! How could he possibly unleash such a terrifying Dou Technique?!" Hua Jin's face was ashen, her lips trembled, and her voice was filled with fear and disbelief.
She originally thought that with the Demonic Flower Evil Lord, she would be able to crush her opponent, but she never expected to kick such a hard iron plate!
The Demonic Flower Evil Lord was equally terrified, but having experienced more, his will to survive overwhelmed everything. He bit his tongue sharply, the intense pain temporarily pulling him out of his fear, a glint of madness and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die! We have to fight!" the Demonic Flower Evil Lord roared furiously. "Hua Jin, join forces! Unleash the strongest defense!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Demonic Flower Evil Lord clasped his hands together abruptly, his Dou Qi surging out wildly as if burning, even resorting to a secret technique that could damage his foundation! His face instantly turned crimson, and his aura became violent.
"The Law of Heaven and Earth—Transforming Qi into Heaven and Earth, Protected by the God of the Underworld!"
Rumble! A surge of powerful Dou Qi erupted from his body, rapidly condensing into a gray giant phantom hundreds of feet tall above his head!
The giant's face was indistinct, clad in ancient armor, exuding a chilling and sturdy aura from the Nether Domain. Its arms were crossed in front of it, forming a massive gray shield, upon which runes flowed, seemingly capable of blocking all energy impacts!
This is the Demonic Flower Evil Lord's trump Dou Technique for survival, a profound technique originating from the Heaven Nether Sect. It has extremely strong defensive capabilities, but the cost of using it is enormous!
At the same time, Hua Jin knew that she had reached a critical moment of life and death. Suppressing her fear, she let out a sharp cry and unleashed all the Dou Qi in her body without reservation!
"May the goddess of flowers protect you, Myriad Flower Barrier!"
She formed hand seals, and the Cyan Dou Qi around her transformed into countless dazzling energy flowers. These flowers spun and combined rapidly, forming an incredibly thick and Radiant Flow floral barrier in front of her and the Demonic Flower Evil Lord!
Each flower contains considerable defensive power; when all the flowers are combined, the defensive power is equally astonishing. It is an extremely profound Earth Tier High-grade defensive Dou Technique of the Flower Sect!
In an instant, the energy in the square surged to its extreme.
On one side, five fire dragons coiled, Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea, radiating terrifying power to destroy everything. On the other side, gray Nether God Giant crossed and guarded each other, along with layers of protective Myriad Flower Barrier, firmly shielding the two behind them.
The two opposing and powerful energies confronted each other. Before they even collided, the turbulent energy currents that escaped from them had already ravaged the plaza, with huge cracks spreading out like a spider web.
All the spectators held their breath, their hearts clenching as if gripped by an invisible hand. The outcome of this duel, even life and death, would be decided in the next moment!
Lin Ming's eyes were cold, devoid of any pity. He slowly raised his arm and pointed lightly at the two men who were standing ready for battle.
"Go!"
The voice was calm, yet it sounded like the pronouncement of death.
"Roar--!!!"
The five fire dragons, which had been poised to unleash their power, seemed to have received their final command and simultaneously let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth!
Five enormous fiery figures, like five falling fiery meteors, carrying the will to destroy everything, tore through the void and crashed into the Underworld God's Guardian and the Myriad Flower Barrier at an indescribable speed!
The collision happened in an instant!
Instead of the expected deafening roar, the first sound was a teeth-grinding sizzling noise! That was the sound of extreme heat burning and eroding the defensive energy!
One of the five dragons was the first to crash into the Myriad Flower Barrier, unleashing a terrifying burning power. The dazzling energy flowers withered, charred, and vanished at a visible speed!
The two dragons followed closely behind, making the structure of the Myriad Flower Barrier extremely fragile, instantly covered with cracks!
The three dragons descended like kings, crashing directly into the shield of the Nether God Giant. The gray shield, strong enough to withstand the attack of Seven-Star Dou Venerate, shattered inch by inch under the soul-burning flames after only a moment!
The remaining two dragons, like two sharp knives, plunged fiercely into the breached defenses!
"No!!!"
The pupils of the Demonic Flower Evil Lord and Hua Jin reflected the rapidly enlarging Five-Colored Flames, filled with endless fear and despair.
Their desperately maintained defenses proved utterly ineffective against the terrifying power of the Five Dragons Paying Homage!
"Boom!!!!!!!!!"
Only then did the belated, deafening explosion, powerful enough to shatter eardrums, resound with a deafening roar!
A massive, five-colored, interwoven mushroom cloud of fire rose slowly from the center of the collision, engulfing everything! A terrifying energy storm swept outwards like a tsunami, causing the entire Flower Sect Mountain Range to shake violently, with rocks tumbling down and trees lying flat on the ground!
All defenses and struggles proved utterly futile in the face of such absolute destructive power.
