Buddha Fury Fire Lotus! Three-Colored Fire Lotus!

"Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations! First Transformation!"

"Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations! Second Transformation!"

Xiao Jinchen's hands moved in a blur of seals. As the first two transformations of the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations activated, his aura instantly surged to the level of a Douluo nearing the Title Douluo rank.

"Roar!"

Just as Xiao Jinchen activated the technique, the Fire Dragon King's soul seemed to sense the rise in his aura and let out a roar. A massive, crimson beam of light radiating terrifying heat erupted from the dragon soul's maw, hurtling toward Xiao Jinchen.

"Flame Split—Wave Devouring Ruler!"

Xiao Jinchen drew the Heavy Profound Ruler from his back and let out a low shout. Emperor Flame surged upward, and a blade of light three times more powerful than before swept out to meet the incoming beam.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided violently, producing a deafening roar.

The crimson beam and the dark red blade light tangled together, and a wild, violent surge of soul power swept outward, causing the surrounding space to distort and even crack into tiny fissures.

Scorching heat waves rolled across the area, and the violent recoil forced Xiao Jinchen to stagger.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Jinchen braced himself against the impact, his feet carving deep furrows into the ground as he slid back several meters before coming to a halt.

"It's not over yet!"

Xiao Jinchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold and sharp as his hands formed seals once more.

"Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations! Third Transformation! Emperor Flame Transformation!"

As Xiao Jinchen's low shout faded, his aura skyrocketed again, breaking through the limits of a Douluo and reaching the level of a Title Douluo.

"Roar!"

The Fire Dragon King's soul on the opposite side seemed to sense a fatal threat and roared again, but this cry was noticeably weaker than the previous two, its momentum clearly flagging. It was obvious that it wanted to retreat and had no desire to continue the fight.

But how could Xiao Jinchen let it escape? It had forced him into such a wretched state; it would be a mercy if he didn't burn the dragon soul to ash with his Heavenly Flame.

Just as Xiao Jinchen prepared to press his advantage and completely annihilate the Fire Dragon King, a bone-chilling cold swept in from behind him without warning.

It was a massive dragon claw condensed from pure ice elemental energy, carrying a piercing chill as it struck toward Xiao Jinchen's back.

If this blow landed, even Xiao Jinchen, who had activated the third transformation of the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, would be severely wounded.

A cold sneer curled the corner of Xiao Jinchen's mouth, as if the sneak attack from behind had been within his expectations. He spun his body halfway around in a flash.

"Eight Extremities Collapse!"

"Eightfold Hidden Force!"

"Explode!"

Xiao Jinchen's five fingers clenched tightly, and rolling soul power surged out along his arm, tearing through the air with a shrill whistle as he slammed his fist into the Ice Dragon King's claw.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud echoed from the point of impact between his fist and the dragon claw.

The massive claw, radiating terrifying cold, shattered like glass the moment it touched Xiao Jinchen's fist. Cracks spread wildly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire claw exploded into a sky full of ice shards.

"Awoo!"

The Ice Dragon King's soul let out a miserable shriek. The Eightfold Hidden Force of the Eight Extremities Collapse did not stop, drilling straight through the arm and into its body.

"Boom!"

The massive dragon soul was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. With a dull thud, it crashed into the ground, leaving a large crater.

The Ice Dragon King's soul lay limp on the ground, its once-solid form flickering in and out of existence. Its light had dimmed significantly, and it lacked even the strength to stand.

Xiao Jinchen withdrew his fist and shook the ice shards from his hand. He looked coldly at the wretched Ice Dragon King's soul in the distance, a mocking curve on his lips. "With only this much skill, you dare call yourself a Dragon King?"

"Damn, the state of the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations can't be maintained for long," Xiao Jinchen muttered, his expression grave. "It seems I must end this quickly."

A savage look slowly crept onto Xiao Jinchen's face as he stomped his foot hard against the ground.

"Earth Gale Flame!"

At Xiao Jinchen's cold shout, the space beneath him suddenly boiled.

Ten zhang of magma erupted into the sky like a volcanic eruption, but in an instant, it began to spin rapidly, condensing into a terrifying crimson fire tornado.

The fire tornado carried a piercing sonic boom as it swept out like lightning, slamming fiercely into the Ice-Fire Dragon King's soul.

"Bang!"

Xiao Jinchen's eyes were icy as he stomped the ground again.

Accompanied by a dull roar, the entire space transformed into a volcanic purgatory. Countless pillars of magma shot up from the ground, swirling in mid-air to form smaller fire tornadoes.

These fire tornadoes were like brilliant yet deadly fireworks, wrapped in heaven-burning heat as they swarmed toward the Ice-Fire Dragon King's soul in the air.

"Time to finish this," Xiao Jinchen whispered. Emperor Flame rose from his palm, and he tore it apart, transforming it into a cluster of transparent, cyan, and seven-colored flames.

Xiao Jinchen clapped his palms together, fusing the three flames into one.

Within a few breaths, a three-colored fire lotus, a foot wide, hovered gently above his palm, a violent surge of energy slowly radiating outward.

"Go, Buddha Fury Fire Lotus!" Xiao Jinchen gently pushed the tri-colored fire lotus in his hand toward the Ice-Fire Dragon Kings' dragon soul in the sky.

"Roar! Roar!"

When the Ice-Fire Dragon Kings' dragon soul in the air sensed the approaching tri-colored fire lotus, it roared in sudden terror.

"BOOM!"

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion echoed throughout this space. First, a blindingly intense white light appeared, as if it were about to burn a hole through the very heavens and earth.

The moment the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus touched the Ice-Fire Dragon Kings' dragon soul, it sank inside as if a clay ox had entered the sea. Immediately following, a terrifying, suffocating heat surged out from within the dragon soul's body.

The Ice-Fire Dragon Kings' dragon soul, which had been struggling and roaring, did not even have time to let out a complete scream before its massive body began to twist violently, engulfed by the tri-colored flames. The seemingly indestructible defense of the Ice-Fire Dragon Kings' dragon soul was as fragile as a sheet of paper before this Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, which fused three types of Heavenly Flames.

In just a few breaths, the massive Ice-Fire Dragon Kings' dragon soul was forcibly blasted into a brilliant yet ghastly rain of fire, scattering across the sky.

The terrifying shockwave transformed into visible ripples of air, sweeping madly in all directions and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The ground was plowed into bottomless trenches, and the surrounding air was scorched until it warped and distorted, emitting a series of harsh, crackling explosions.

"Hoo."

Xiao Jinchen stood at the center of the storm, his robes snapping loudly in the gale. He narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the massive lotus slowly taking shape in the sky, and let out a long breath.

After Xiao Jinchen returned the Heavy Profound Ruler to his Storage Ring, he was so exhausted that he collapsed onto the ground. Once the dust settled, his gaze suddenly sharpened as he spotted two pulsating orbs of light.

"Huh? ...What is this?" Xiao Jinchen scratched his head in confusion, stood up, and walked toward the two light orbs.
