"Yes, it's done!" Lin Yu's face lit up with excitement. "Haha, the power of the Fire Lotus has already taken shape. Now, it's just a little bit more before we can refine the essence of the Fire Lotus. At that time, even if the strength of the Fire Lotus doesn't increase, it will definitely be able to unleash ten or even dozens of times its original power."
Such formidable power, if used for attack, would likely be unstoppable even by a master at the fifth level of the Celestial Person Realm!
Lin Yu had a smile on his lips, and he was in a very good mood.
However, at this moment, he felt a cold, murderous gaze coming from between his eyebrows, a gaze that made Lin Yu tremble.
"Such powerful soul force! Could it be that the intelligence within this fire lotus senses danger and wants to kill me?"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu's expression changed slightly.
However, this fire lotus has already become his. It contains immense spiritual power, and if it were obtained by someone else, Lin Yu's path to immortality would become extremely difficult.
"Hmph, if you know what's good for you, you'll obediently leave with me. If you dare to be my enemy, I will kill you and make your soul disappear!" With a thought, Lin Yu flew out of his dantian and arrived in the void, communicating with the fire lotus.
Lin Yu's voice rang out in front of Huo Lianhua: "Boy, I advise you to leave me quickly and not try to provoke me, otherwise, you will surely die!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Yu sneered. "You really think that just because you possess such immense power, you can kill me? Heh, I'd like to see just what qualifications you have!"
"Hmph, arrogant brat, since you're courting death, I'll send you on your way!" Fire Lotus roared angrily.
"Buzz~"
A blinding red light burst forth from the surface of the fire lotus, and in an instant, the flames shot into the sky.
Boom!
The entire cave space suddenly shook.
Thump!
The ground beneath Lin Yu's feet suddenly cracked open, and Lin Yu was sent flying more than ten meters away, landing hard on his backside.
"Ugh... that hurts!" Lin Yu's face showed pain. "This guy is amazing!"
At this moment, Lin Yu finally understood why the fire lotus hadn't killed him outright. It turned out that the fire lotus was no match for him at all; its strength was terrifying.
"Hmph, you insignificant ant, how dare you be so arrogant before me! Today, I will first destroy your physical body, then slowly torture you until you wish you were dead!" The fiery lotus's voice rang out.
Lin Yu's expression changed.
The power of this fire lotus is simply too overwhelming. If one's physical body is truly destroyed by it, there will probably be no chance of survival.
"I possess the body of a celestial being; you cannot kill me. You'd better hand over the Fire Lotus obediently, or don't blame me for ruthlessly destroying it!" Lin Yu said through gritted teeth.
"A Celestial Spirit Body! You... you actually possess a Celestial Spirit Body!" Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the fire lotus was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "A Celestial Spirit Body, what a wonderful thing! If I were to devour you, not only would it enhance my cultivation, but it would also increase my power. If one day I break through to the Celestial God Realm, then my power would likely advance even further, perhaps even enabling me to contend with Saint King or even more powerful beings! Haha~"
Fire Lotus's words sent a chill down Lin Yu's spine.
"Immortal God Realm!" Lin Yu was shocked. Cultivators in the Immortal God Realm were all super strong.
A powerful expert at the Immortal God Realm could crush Lin Yu with a single finger. If he were to encounter a truly super-powerful expert, Lin Yu would probably have no hope of escaping.
"Hmph, brat, now you'll hand over the Fire Lotus to me. Otherwise, you'll suffer endless torment. I'll make you endure countless forms of death-inducing torture. If you dare to resist, I'll make you taste the agony of living a life worse than death."
"Hmph," Lin Yu snorted lightly, "If you're not convinced, I can show you whether I have the strength or not."
As Lin Yu spoke, he flipped his right hand and took out a long, black sword.
Dark Sword!
This is a magical artifact that Lin Yu has just successfully refined.
"Buzz~"
The Dark Sword was drawn, and instantly, the world was plunged into darkness.
The fiery lotus seemed to sense the presence of the dark sword, and trembled involuntarily. "How can you have such a treasure? You actually possess such a treasure?" The fiery lotus's voice was filled with a hint of fear.
Lin Yu chuckled, "You know the Dark Sword?"
"This sword, named Darkness, was left behind by my master. My master was the ruler of darkness in ancient times, and the Darkness Sword was forged by his own hands!" Fire Lotus's voice was filled with awe.
Ancient times—could that be the very beginning of time?
Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that the Dark Devil Lord from back then seemed to be a Immortal Thearch as well, and he also had a divine weapon, the Dark Divine Sword. Could it be the same person?
Lin Yu pondered this in his heart, but did not ask, because he vaguely sensed that this fire lotus was not a simple demon.
"Alright, you don't need to pretend anymore. Now, you've lost the ability to resist. I advise you to obediently submit to me, otherwise, you'll suffer worse than death!" Lin Yu threatened.
"Boy, I know your cultivation is not weak, but my strength is not something you can shake with your meager cultivation. Today I will first take your physical body and let you feel what the pain of death is!" The fiery lotus's voice became much more sinister.
"Hmph, you think I'm afraid of you? I'm afraid you won't dare to touch me!" Lin Yu snorted. "If you have the guts, then try!"
"Good, good, good~" Huo Lianhua's voice sounded somewhat excited. "Boy, since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish."
The next moment.
Whoosh!
With a flicker of the fire lotus, a giant fire python appeared out of thin air and pounced towards Lin Yu. This giant fire python was hundreds of feet long, and its body emitted terrifying flames, causing the temperature in the surrounding area to rise sharply.
"Fire Serpent, you really are the Fire Serpent, but you think you can hurt me? You're dreaming!" Lin Yu sneered, brandishing his dark sword and slashing out instantly.
Whoosh!
A dazzling sword beam instantly struck the fire serpent's head.
Hiss~
The fire serpent let out a miserable cry, its head lolled to the side, and it fell straight to the ground.
Lin Yu killed the Flame Serpent in one move, leaving the Flame Lotus somewhat stunned. It never expected that Lin Yu would be so powerful that even it couldn't defeat him.
