Lin Ye tilted his head back and swallowed all three Fire Jujubes at once!

The searing power erupted inside him in an instant!

The rush of heat was like three volcanoes erupting at once, its violent energy furiously battering his meridians,

He felt as if he had been stuffed into a red-hot furnace, smoke practically rising from his whole body!

The veins beneath his skin bulged, writhing like burning snakes.

He trembled all over with pain, yet gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

The Wind Fire Wheels blazed beneath him as he dodged Scarlet King's pursuit with all his might,

His speed was several notches faster than before, but the price was that his body's reserves were being consumed at an astonishing rate.

Scarlet King grew more and more frantic as it fought, and all three of its massive heads opened their mouths at once.

"No matter what kind of freak you are, looks like I'm going to roast you well-done!"

Even more powerful Hellfire spewed from all three heads at once!

The black-red flames were denser and hotter than before, staining nearly half the sky a dark crimson as they surged toward Lin Ye like a tidal wave!

The flames devoured everything.

Lin Ye's figure disappeared into the sea of fire.

The dark-golden vertical pupils in Scarlet King's three heads narrowed slightly, revealing a vicious smile.

But the next instant—

That smile froze.

In the heart of the black-red sea of fire, a mass of golden-red light suddenly burst open!

The light was blazing and pure, imbued with an indescribable, awe-inspiring righteousness. It drove away every last wisp of the surrounding Hellfire!

The flames scattered.

There, a man sat cross-legged in meditation in midair, a gigantic golden-red lotus beneath him,

Its nine tiers of petals unfurled one after another, fine patterns of flame flowing across every petal,

As if it had been cast from pure gold—or condensed from the purest flames in all heaven and earth.

The man's face was identical to Lin Ye's, yet he carried a few more shades of solemn, inviolable majesty.

His black hair streamed in the night wind, and a golden vertical mark had appeared between his brows, with flames flickering faintly within it.

Most astonishing of all—he had three heads and eight arms!

The central head wore a solemn expression, its eyes slightly closed;

The head on the left glared furiously;

The head on the right wore a smile,

Each of the three faces was different, yet all radiated the same indescribable pressure.

Each of his eight arms held a different object. Some formed hand seals, one gripped a Gold Brick, another supported a length of Red Armillary Sash, and another raised a Universe Ring.

In his two central hands, he held a mass of golden-red flames.

The fire burned slowly in his palms, as if it contained the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas.

He simply hovered there in midair, borne by the Nine-Grade Lotus Throne, surrounded by Samadhi True Fire, with a treasure in each of his eight hands and his three heads surveying every direction.

Lin Ye had gone big.

Wang Dong'er sat on the ground, her mouth gaping wide enough to fit an egg, disbelief filling her pink-blue eyes.

Ma Xiaotao had also forgotten the pain in her arm. She was completely dumbfounded, her pale-pink eyes fixed unblinkingly on the towering figure in midair.

Scarlet King was stunned too.

The six dark-golden vertical pupils in its three massive heads contracted at once, and its enormous body instinctively drew back half a step.

Pressure!

The pressure radiating from that human in midair actually made it feel threatened!

But that power didn't belong to Lin Ye.

It was power propped up by the Fire Jujubes, activated by force through the magical treasures—a burst of strength many times beyond his current realm.

Lin Ye knew perfectly well that his Soul Power and Mental Power were rapidly burning away before his eyes!

With every passing second, he was consuming nearly the same amount of his life force. At his current strength, he probably couldn't maintain this for long!

But he had no other choice.

He had to seize this moment—to pin down that three-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast!

Scarlet King was utterly baffled.

As a dignified three-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast, the Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff stared at the figure in midair and, for a moment, couldn't quite process what it was seeing.

How did he have three heads too?

Its three heads blinked their six eyes at once, confirming that it hadn't seen wrong.

The human across from it really did have three heads!

And each head looked even more imposing than its own: one glared furiously, one smiled, and one was solemn. Each had its own presence.

It only had four paws, while he had eight arms!

Scarlet King's mind was starting to short-circuit.

More importantly, the pressure emanating from that three-headed, eight-armed Dharma Image made it feel fear despite itself!

It was a fear rising from the depths of its bloodline, an instinctive terror—as if it had encountered its natural enemy, or come face-to-face with a superior. Every hair on its body stood on end.

Scarlet King let out a low growl, trying to overwhelm him with its own aura.

"Hell Domain!"

Dark-crimson light spread from its body like a thick layer of blood mist, shrouding an area dozens of meters around them.

This was the domain ability of Scarlet King, a three-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast.

Within the Hell Domain, any living thing that entered would suffer continuous burning and corrosion, and even its Soul Power would be forcibly evaporated!

But Lin Ye was completely unaffected.

Samadhi True Fire swirled around him. Wherever its golden-red flames passed, the dark-crimson Hell Domain retreated as if it had met its natural enemy.

Samadhi True Fire was the purest, most yang flame. No matter how powerful Hellfire was, it could only be suppressed before it.

Lin Ye didn't hesitate.

The three-headed, eight-armed Dharma Image attacked all at once!

The Red Armillary Sash uncoiled like a crimson dragon, winding toward Scarlet King's neck!

The Universe Ring became a streak of golden light, tracing an arc through the air as it shot straight toward the head on Scarlet King's right!

The Gold Brick suddenly grew huge under the urging of his magical power, becoming a golden wall that came crashing down toward Scarlet King's back!

Golden-red Samadhi True Fire gushed from the tip of the Fire-Tipped Spear, as a blazing spear ray thrust straight at Scarlet King's face!

Samadhi True Fire gathered in Lin Ye's palm, forming a mass like a condensed Little Sun that hovered before him, ready to unleash a lethal strike at any moment!

Four magical treasures attacked at once!

The three-headed, eight-armed Dharma Image unleashed their power at three times the strength Lin Ye could muster when activating them alone!

Though still far from the treasures' true peak power, the immense pressure was enough to make Scarlet King's heart pound with fear.

Especially the Samadhi True Fire—it was naturally a higher-ranked flame than Scarlet King's!

Before that golden-red fire, Scarlet King's flames were like an ordinary Soul Beast facing a Soul Beast Emperor: instinctively trembling, instinctively retreating!

"Wuu—"

Scarlet King let out a low whimper. Its enormous body stumbled backward, and for the first time, fear appeared in its dark-golden vertical pupils.

Its flames had been suppressed, its domain had been breached, and its body had been pinned down by that pressure.

The dignified three-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast now looked like a stray dog, tail tucked between its legs, head bowed as it backed away one step at a time.

All three of Lin Ye's heads stared at it.

The central head's gaze was cold, the one on the left glared furiously, and the one on the right wore a smile.

All six gazes fell on Scarlet King, as if to say: Aren't you going to get lost?

Scarlet King could no longer hold it together.
