Chapter Summary: Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger

While the elders are distracted, Little Huang attacks them from behind with six devastating fire lotuses, severely injuring all of them. Before Lin Yu can finish them, the Flame Spirit Ancestor, a true Heavenly Sovereign, emerges. Lin Yu counters his first palm strike with the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger, destroying it.
