One-Star Dou Saint, Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus-Was He Going to Slaughter Everyone?

This scene

appeared above Maple City, looking utterly abrupt and unexpected in the eyes of countless Black-Corner Region powerhouses.

Mo Tian Xing,

the Black Emperor Sect's sect master, a Four-Star Dou Zong, a figure akin to the true supreme ruler of the Black-Corner Region,

was a demonic giant whose might oppressed every sect in the Black-Corner Region!

And now,

what were they seeing? Mo Tian Xing was actually being so obsequious, so respectful, even shamelessly trying to curry favor with someone else?!

However,

upon seeing this,

none of the Black-Corner Region's powerhouses mocked him. No one even found it surprising,

because that was a genuine Half-Saint,

a supreme expert who could crush them with a flick of his hand, and an important figure who could raise them to the peak with a wave of his hand!

At this moment,

the Black-Corner Region powerhouses all gritted their teeth, their hearts filled with frustration and regret.

Earlier,

they had been too busy condemning Han Feng and had not thought to act first...

Within Demon Flame Valley,

when he saw Mo Tian Xing appear,

Earth Demon Old Ghost suddenly leaned forward, his withered hand clenched tightly as regret and unwillingness churned in his eyes.

Earlier,

when that Dou Saint pressure had dissipated, he had been the first to entertain the thought.

Demon Flame Valley was closest to Maple City.

With his strength as a Six-Star Dou Zong, he clearly had a better chance than Mo Tian Xing. As long as he struck down Han Feng,

the merit of pleasing a Half-Saint would have been his!

But he had hesitated for just an instant.

That single instant had allowed Mo Tian Xing to seize the lead...

Earth Demon Old Ghost practically wanted to die.

Above Maple City,

watching Mo Tian Xing present the Sea Heart Flame and the Storage Ring, Qing Luo casually waved his hand.

The two items floated over to Qing Luo.

Qing Luo reached out with his right hand toward the Sea Heart Flame.

Boom—

A fiery roar that shook the entire Black-Corner Region suddenly erupted.

The dark-blue flame, like seawater, surged madly.

It instinctively tried to struggle and flee, but the supreme suppression of three Heavenly Flame origins crashed down upon it.

The origin powers of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Three Thousand Burning Flame, and Fallen Heart Flame wrapped around it layer by layer, instantly crushing all of the Sea Heart Flame's violent resistance to pieces.

Not even a trace of strength to resist remained.

The dark-blue stream of flame flowed up Qing Luo's arm and surged entirely into his body.

The three Heavenly Flame origins all awakened.

They took the initiative to meet the Sea Heart Flame's water-element Flame Dao. The four Heavenly Flame origins instantly intertwined, forming a closed cycle.

The instant he mastered the Sea Heart Flame,

Buzz—

the aura radiating from Qing Luo soared once more.

The barrier of his original Half-Step Dou Saint realm was forcibly blasted open with a huge crack by the Sea Heart Flame's origin.

The Saint Power within his body circulated more completely and smoothly.

His life level underwent another sublimation.

He had completely broken through to the level of a One-Star Dou Saint.

Whoosh—

Winds and waves suddenly rose.

Four layers of circulating Heavenly Flames surrounded Qing Luo's white robes.

Qing Luo opened his eyes. Four-colored flames condensed into lotus flowers, rising and sinking alternately within his pupils, while the might of a Dou Saint rippled in all directions.

Then,

without even looking, Qing Luo directly tossed the Storage Ring to Mo Tian Xing and said,

"It's yours!"

Whoosh—

Mo Tian Xing's gaze burned with excitement.

That Storage Ring

belonged to Han Feng, to a Sixth-Grade Alchemist. It was certain to contain countless high-grade pills.

With that Storage Ring,

he would have the resources and confidence to take another step forward.

However,

just as Mo Tian Xing was about to catch the Storage Ring,

he looked at Qing Luo and saw those deep, icy, indifferent eyes, cold as though they were looking at a dead man.

Crack—

The Storage Ring fell to the ground before Mo Tian Xing.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mo Tian Xing knelt before Qing Luo, his expression sincere as he said,

"This junior dares not covet this item! Mere pills and treasures are not worth mentioning to this junior. I only ask to follow by your side, to serve you faithfully and await your commands. I hope you will take me in, Senior!"

Qing Luo's gaze just now had made him feel incomparably cold.

Though it had lasted only an instant,

Mo Tian Xing did not dare gamble.

Besides,

his action this time had not been for Han Feng's Storage Ring. He had merely wanted to preserve himself amid this crisis.

Hearing this,

the hearts of all the Black-Corner Region powerhouses secretly watching trembled.

Sure enough,

what they feared had come.

Mo Tian Xing's ambition was actually this terrifying.

The current Black-Corner Region was a battlefield where heroes vied for supremacy. Even though Mo Tian Xing was a Four-Star Dou Zong, he could not unify the Black-Corner Region.

But if that Dou Saint stood behind Mo Tian Xing,

no one would dare become enemies with the Black Emperor Sect.

From then on, the Black Emperor Sect would become the true ruler of the entire Black-Corner Region!

Mo Tian Xing's words not only exceeded the expectations of the Black-Corner Region powerhouses,

they also left Qing Luo stunned.

He did not care what was inside Han Feng's Storage Ring.

He had no use for those things.

Qing Luo had promised Jia Nan Academy that he would help them clear away the obstacles in the Black-Corner Region.

Next,

all Qing Luo had to do was sweep away everyone here.

Earlier,

Mo Tian Xing had acted.

Qing Luo had given Han Feng's Storage Ring to Mo Tian Xing, which could be considered returning the favor.

But now,

Mo Tian Xing did not want the Storage Ring and instead asked to follow him.

This made Qing Luo hesitate somewhat.

With his strength, let alone a Four-Star Dou Zong, even Four-Star Dou Zuns who wanted to follow him were plentiful.

But Mo Tian Xing had helped him, even if Qing Luo had given him the opportunity to help...

"Where is the Black Emperor Sect?"

Qing Luo asked.

Uh...

Mo Tian Xing paused.

Then Mo Tian Xing pointed in a certain direction. "Over there. This junior can take you there!"

"No need!"

Qing Luo shook his head.

With a flick of his finger, a Pure Lotus pressed across the void and appeared above the Black Emperor Sect.

Then,

under the watchful eyes of all,

the petals of that Pure Lotus slowly unfurled. Its enormous petals enveloped the entire Black Emperor Sect, forming a barrier.

"What is that?!"

Seeing this,

the Black-Corner Region powerhouses could not help but hesitate inwardly, all guessing what that white lotus was and what those petals were for.

Mo Tian Xing was also puzzled, not knowing what Qing Luo intended by this action.

He was about to raise his head and ask Qing Luo,

when the sight before him left Mo Tian Xing frozen in place.

Above the heavens,

Qing Luo lowered his gaze indifferently.

His left hand was below, his right hand above.

Between his hands, it seemed as though heaven and earth were contained, stirring the laws of this world's heavens and earth.

Buzz—

Scorching fire waves swept across the sky as a four-colored fire lotus gradually took shape in Qing Luo's palms.

The fire lotus had a pure white base.

Starlight, water ripples, and white mist lingered around it...

The lotus was holy and solemn, while the might of four Heavenly Flames intertwined within it. That terrifying fluctuation made the entire world tremble and quake...

Watching the terrifying fire lotus stain the sky,

for a moment,

the pupils of all the Black-Corner Region powerhouses secretly observing this contracted as extreme terror rose in their hearts.

They instinctively wanted to flee.

But

a Dou Saint controlled the laws, sealing heaven and earth. Before the might of a Saint, they could not even move half a step.

"That Senior... is going to attack the Black-Corner Region..."

"Damn it, wasn't he here to take the Heavenly Flame and settle accounts with Han Feng?!"

"A dignified Dou Saint is actually meddling in the Black-Corner Region's affairs. He has broken the rules!"

Earth Demon Old Ghost, Fan Lao, the Gold and Silver Elders, and the others wore twisted expressions.

Voices filled with resentment, fury, and madness echoed throughout the Black-Corner Region.

On the other side,

within Jia Nan Academy,

after Qing Luo left, Su Qian had kept watching the developments in the Black-Corner Region.

He saw Qing Luo attack Han Feng.

When Qing Luo took the Sea Heart Flame, Su Qian had not been overly shocked.

After all,

the other party had first come to Jia Nan Academy and taken the Fallen Heart Flame. He must have had some obsession with Heavenly Flames,

or perhaps he was preparing them for the descendants of his family.

But when Su Qian saw that Qing Luo was actually going to attack everyone in the Black-Corner Region,

he panicked...

He truly had not expected that what Qing Luo meant by clearing obstacles for Jia Nan Academy was slaughtering everyone in the Black-Corner Region?!
