Blood Slaughter Emperor, Lotus Devours Twin Flames!

"Hiss!"

Above the deathly silent Holy City, only the wind wailed.

Fresh blood bloomed like fireworks in mid-air, scattering wantonly!

As the headless corpse of the Copper Flame Dou Emperor fell, it produced a faint whistling sound as it tore through the air.

The sound reached the ears of everyone present, yet no one made a move!

Every human Dou King, including those four at the peak of the Dou King realm, stood as if frozen in place by invisible ice, their pupils trembling, their minds blank.

They were still unable to recover from the extreme shock of seeing a four-star Dou King killed in a single strike.

No one was willing to believe what their eyes had just witnessed!

A Dou King... killing a Dou Emperor in one strike?! This had completely overturned their understanding and shattered their common sense!

However, a scene that made their scalps tingle and their souls flee in terror followed immediately after.

Lin Chen, expressionless, reached out his palm toward the headless corpse that had yet to hit the ground.

Blood Scripture -- Heaven-Swallowing Earth-Devouring!

An invisible yet overwhelmingly tyrannical devouring force instantly enveloped the corpse!

"Sss-sss-sss—"

Amidst a teeth-grinding sound, the body of the four-star Dou King seemed as if it had been tossed into strong acid.

It withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The massive blood essence, mixed with the soul of the Dou Emperor that had not yet fully dissipated, transformed into a thick torrent of crimson, crossing the space and surging into Lin Chen's palm like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

In the blink of an eye, a fresh Dou Emperor corpse had turned into a light, pitch-black husk, as if it had been air-dried for a thousand years.

It slammed into the desert below, shattering into pieces!

And Lin Chen's aura, fueled by this infusion of pure energy, was rising rapidly!

After reaching the Dou King realm, every star of advancement required a massive amount of energy.

Especially since he cultivated the

Blood Scripture

, the energy required was a hundred or even a thousand times that of his peers!

The entire essence of one four-star Dou King was merely a drop in the bucket.

After all, the combined power of these few Dou Emperors could not even compare to his current Dou King strength.

Furthermore, he had begun to truly touch the core of this cultivation technique.

Yet, this terrifying and evil method of devouring the living and refining corpses struck at everyone's vision and psyche even more directly than the one-strike kill from moments ago!

"Devil... he's a devil!!"

A human Dou King with weaker nerves, watching this from afar, finally could no longer bear the successive waves of terror; he let out a hysterical scream and turned to flee!

This scream acted like a fuse being lit!

"Attack! All together! Kill him! Otherwise, we're all going to die!!"

Mo Fa was the first to react, letting out a sharp, twisted roar!

His eyes were filled with fear, but even more so with a hysterical madness!

He knew that a demonic monster like this would never let them go!

"Form up! Quickly, form the formation!"

The Copper Flame Dou Emperor was also deathly pale, frantically surging his Dou Qi, attempting to unite with the other Dou Emperors.

However, it was already too late!

The one or two seconds they had spent in shock and hesitation were more than enough for Lin Chen!

"Want to join forces now? Too late!"

Lin Chen's cold voice sounded like a death sentence.

He would not give these people any chance to organize a counterattack!

With a single thought!

Hum! Hum!

The Yuantu and Abi Twin Swords manifested out of thin air once more, requiring no fusion.

They transformed into two streams of lethal, death-dealing light, carrying the killing intent to slaughter all living things and the aura of death that extinguishes all existence.

They shot toward the two human Dou Emperors closest to him:

These were the very two peak Dou Emperors who had previously joined Mo Fa in bombarding the Snake-Person Elder!

Simultaneously, the pair of dark red blood-crystal Dou Qi wings on Lin Chen's back gave a violent beat!

Shadow Escape! Peak Mastery!

His figure instantly blurred, as if merging into space itself.

With a speed that transcended the limits of visual perception, he appeared directly behind the mysterious Dou Emperor who was attempting to flee!

That mysterious Dou Emperor felt a chilling killing intent strike his back, his soul scattering in terror.

Just as he tried to turn and defend:

"Puchi!"

Lin Chen's palm, encased in highly condensed Blood Origin Dou Qi and a wisp of Red Lotus Karma Fire, struck.

Like the sharpest of divine weapons, it easily tore through the man's protective Dou Qi.

It pierced through his back and emerged from his chest!

He crushed the man's heart directly!

"Urgh..."

The mysterious Dou Emperor's body stiffened violently, the terror in his eyes freezing in place.

The next moment, the blood essence within his body was devoured frantically by Lin Chen, like a floodgate being opened!

In the blink of an eye, he too was reduced to a withered corpse!

On the other side, the Yuantu and Abi Twin Swords had also achieved their goal!

Those two targeted peak Dou Emperors, despite their formidable strength, had only managed to execute powerful defensive Dou Techniques in their haste.

One condensed a thick suit of rock armor, while a massive flame shield appeared before the other!

But before the projections of these two supreme treasures, which represented the origins of slaughter and finality, their defenses were like paper!

The Yuantu Sword flashed with blood-red light, and the rock armor was sliced open like tofu.

As the blade swept past, the head of that peak Dou Emperor soared into the sky, his face still frozen in an expression of disbelief!

The Abi Sword was suffused with gray-white death aura, and the flame shield instantly dimmed and extinguished.

As if all its energy had been drained, the blade silently pierced the chest of the other peak Dou Emperor, extinguishing every trace of his vitality!

Before the two corpses could even fall, they were sucked dry into withered husks by the devouring power inherent to the twin swords!

In the blink of an eye! Three more Dou Emperors had fallen! This included two peak Dou Emperors!

All were killed in seconds! All were devoured!

Fast! Too fast! Ruthless! Too ruthless!

The remaining Dou Emperors were thoroughly terrified!

This was not a battle; it was a one-sided slaughter! It was a tiger charging into a flock of sheep!

"Run!!"

Someone let out a desperate cry.

The remaining five Dou Emperors:

Mo Fa, Copper Flame Dou Emperor, and the three peak Dou Emperors summoned by Mo Fa!

Like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, they fled frantically in different directions!

"Want to leave? Did you ask me first?"

Lin Chen's eyes were cold, his killing intent absolute!

Since he had already made his move, he would leave none alive!

His wings beat again, and his figure flickered like a ghost!

He pursued the slowest one first, who was also one of the primary culprits: Mo Fa!

"Brat! I am from the Soul Hall..."

Mo Fa felt the terrifying killing intent rapidly closing in from behind, his soul nearly leaving his body in fright.

He attempted to use his backing to threaten him.

"Soul Hall? Nothing but ants!"

Lin Chen couldn't be bothered to hear the rest, the Yuantu Sword Shadow sweeping past.

He sliced him directly into two halves, devouring him!

An alchemist?

A noble status?

In his eyes, he was nothing more than a slightly higher-quality nutrient!

Immediately after, he turned his body and gave chase to the Copper Flame Dou Emperor!

"I am willing to offer everything! Please..."

The Copper Flame Dou Emperor begged for mercy in terror.

"Kill you, and everything becomes mine!"

The Abi Sword Shadow pierced through his brow, devouring him!

The other three peak Dou Emperors who had been summoned did not manage to escape very far either.

Lin Chen pushed his Shadow Escape to the limit, coordinating it with the long-range strikes of the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords.

Like a reaper traversing the battlefield, every flash of his figure inevitably claimed the life of a Dou Emperor, draining them into a mummified corpse!

Gu He was already pale with fright, fleeing for his life in the direction where Yun Yun had disappeared.

He even went so far as to burn his essence blood, miraculously managing to temporarily break free from the battlefield.

Hai Bodong stood where he was, motionless.

He watched like a statue as Lin Chen hunted down those Dou Emperor powerhouses—the very people he usually had to go all-out to contend with—as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

He felt as if he were trapped in a bizarre yet incredibly bloody nightmare! Cold sweat had long since soaked through the back of his clothes.

Below, all the Snake-people, including the four elders and Queen Medusa, were also left dumbfounded, their bodies turning cold.

This human youth... was simply a god of slaughter descended upon the world!

In less than a minute!

The ten human Dou Emperors who had arrived with such aggressive momentum were either dead or had fled!

Except for Gu He, who had luckily escaped, the other eight—including two Grade 6 alchemists and four peak Dou Emperors—had all fallen!

They had been transformed into the resources for Lin Chen's growth!

Vast and boundless energy, like rivers converging into the sea, surged madly into Lin Chen's body!

Eight Dou Emperors, including four at the peak—how terrifying was the energy contained within them?

Lin Chen hovered in the air, closing his eyes to focus.

The Blood Scripture operated at an unprecedented power, frantically refining this massive amount of energy!

His aura soared wildly as if riding a rocket!

Dou King, two stars!

Three stars!

Four stars!

Five-star peak!

He had directly crossed four minor star levels, reaching the peak of a five-star Dou King! He was only a hair's breadth away from six stars!

The reason for such a terrifying increase was precisely the tyranny of the Blood Scripture!

It devoured not only the opponent's Dou Qi energy but also their life essence and soul power!

Furthermore, after refinement, it was converted into Blood Origin Dou Qi, which was hundreds of times higher in quality than ordinary Dou Qi!

Quantitative change had led to qualitative change!

When he opened his eyes again, the blood-colored lotus shadows within his pupils seemed even clearer.

The aura radiating from his body, though only that of a five-star Dou King, possessed a density and pressure that made even the six-star Dou Emperor Hai Bodong feel his heart tremble!

However, just as Lin Chen finished digesting the energy and prepared to deal with the two Heavenly Flames:

A sudden change occurred!

The Wind Fury Dragon Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame, which had been hovering in the air and seemingly intimidated by the successive battles, suddenly intertwined during the brief window while he was busy devouring and leveling up!

The Wind Fury Dragon Flame clearly possessed higher intelligence and was even more cunning and violent!

It was actually trying to take advantage of the Green Lotus Core Flame being weakened and exhausted after being suppressed by Medusa!

It intended to devour it to strengthen itself!

The bright yellow storm flames coiled around the cyan lotus-shaped flame like a vicious dragon.

It tore and gnawed frantically!

Though the Green Lotus Core Flame was weak, as a Heavenly Flame, it possessed its own pride and instinct!

Unwilling to be devoured, it erupted with a desperate will to survive. The cyan light flared brilliantly, blooming like a lotus, stubbornly resisting the erosion of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame!

The two Heavenly Flames, close in rank, clashed madly, devouring one another!

Suddenly, a storm of fire energy, far more terrifying, violent, and chaotic than any previous battle, erupted with a deafening roar!

"BOOM!!!"

Red, yellow, and cyan lights flickered wildly.

A destructive shockwave of energy, like a tangible tsunami, spread frantically in every direction!

Space twisted, and the earth cracked open.

Buildings in the Holy City collapsed and crumbled in vast swathes!

Even Lin Chen, a peak five-star Dou King, was shaken by the sudden shockwave of the dual-flame collision, his blood surging.

He retreated several steps!

Hai Bodong was so terrified his face turned pale; he retreated repeatedly, exerting his full strength to defend himself.

Below, the Snake-People Tribe wailed in agony.

Many low-level Snake-People were shaken to death instantly, while the four elders desperately maintained a tattered barrier to protect the core area.

Queen Medusa's eyes revealed a look of despair; the two Heavenly Flames had collided out of control, and their destructive power was enough to wipe the entire Holy City off the map!

"Now is the time!"

However, facing this terrifying energy storm that would make even a peak Dou Emperor change color and retreat.

Lin Chen's eyes held no fear; instead, they erupted with an unprecedented brilliance!

When the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman reaps the benefit!

As these two Heavenly Flames devoured and fought each other, their power was at its most concentrated, yet they were unable to spare any focus elsewhere! This was the perfect moment for him to strike!

He steadied his figure abruptly, spread his arms, and sank his focus into his dantian!

"Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, appear!"

Following his low, majestic shout!

Hum!!!

An ancient, vast will, as if originating from the dawn of heaven and earth and reigning supreme over all fires.

Descended with a roar!

A phantom of a twelfth-grade lotus platform, only the size of a palm yet incredibly solid and lifelike, as if carved from blood-colored divine jade.

Slowly emerged above Lin Chen's head!

The lotus platform rotated slowly, and every petal burned with the pure, all-consuming Red Lotus Karma Fire!

The moment it appeared, it seemed to become the center of fire for this world, a monarch to whom all flames must bow!

The Wind Fury Dragon Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame, which had been fighting and devouring each other frantically.

The instant this tiny lotus platform appeared, they both froze abruptly!

As if encountering their natural predator, they radiated instinctive fear and trembling!

Their violent energy even withered for a split second!

"Devour!"

Lin Chen's gaze was sharp; he held his hands in a void-grasping gesture and slammed them together!

The phantom of the Twelfth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus hovering above his head suddenly erupted with an indescribably terrifying suction force!

At the center of the lotus platform, an invisible black hole vortex seemed to appear!

The Wind Fury Dragon Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame, which had been tearing at each other and erupting with destructive energy.

Before they could even mount an effective resistance, they were like two struggling chicks.

Forcibly pulled and compressed by an irresistible, supreme power, and then...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streaks of fire, different in color but both containing vast origins.

Were ripped raw from the core of their confrontation.

Uncontrollably drawn toward the small, blood-colored lotus platform, instantly sinking into it!

The phantom of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus shuddered violently, its light flaring, and the Karma Fire burning on its petals seemed to grow slightly more vigorous!

As if it had tasted a supreme delicacy, it radiated a sense of satisfaction and joy.

And the Wind Fury Dragon Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame, having lost their origin fires.

Their external flame forms instantly collapsed and dissipated.

It transformed into ordinary fire-attribute energy that filled the sky, slowly dissipating between heaven and earth...

The energy storm that had threatened to destroy the world came to an abrupt halt.

Between heaven and earth, only that slowly rotating blood-colored lotus platform remained.

And beneath the lotus platform stood the black-clad youth, his expression calm, as if he had just performed a trivial task.

The entire Snake-People Holy City once again fell into a deathly silence.

All the survivors stared blankly at the incredible scene in the sky.

They gazed at the youth who had slaughtered a Dou Emperor and devoured two types of flames with a mere wave of his hand.

He was like a god or a demon!
