Crimson Flame Divine Fist.
It was a peerless fist manual passed down in an exceedingly distant age, when the Crimson Flame Divine Lord sat alone at the earth's core to impart his teachings.
In ancient legend, if cultivated to a realm beyond the fathoming of ghosts and gods, this fist art could stride across the Netherworld and life and death, burn the heavens and boil the seas, force open the gate of Fire Virtue, and attain the Celestial Fruit of Fire Virtue.
Of course.
Legends were only legends, after all.
They often exaggerated.
Even the Crimson Flame Martial Saint, who had perfected the Crimson Flame Divine Fist, could not stride across the Netherworld or burn the heavens and boil the seas.
But this seventh form, Heaven and Earth Reduced to Ashes.
In the hands of a Fire Virtue Road-End Grandmaster, it was still enough to blast apart almost half of Heavenbright Peak.
This was no little hill, but an ancient, renowned mountain hundreds of yards tall.
Ordinary shells from the Western Ocean fleet could not even breach the defenses of such a mountain, at most scraping off a layer of earth. Destroying nearly half of it would require large quantities of enchanted shells bombarding it without pause.
Yet the destructive power of Heaven and Earth Reduced to Ashes did not propagate through physical matter in reality. Instead, it distorted the Void, affecting and projecting into reality to inflict immense destruction nearby.
This form.
Was no longer mere strength or a martial move.
It was a divine fist of the Void, with all Three Flowers deployed and essence, qi, and spirit united.
Once the fist struck.
The Void trembled.
Heaven and earth changed color.
If a Grandmaster disregarded the risk of spiritual backlash and forcibly raised their vision into the Void
