The magnificent Five-Colored Fire Lotus resembled a beautiful work of art, its dazzling appearance captivating all who beheld it. But at this moment, this seemingly harmless Fire Lotus, the instant it floated away, caused the Endless Void within this space to tremble violently. Inch by inch, the void, like celestial ladders, collapsed layer upon layer, following the direction the Fire Lotus flew...
On the opposite side, the equally imposing Heaven-Seizing Claw swept across the entire void. The dark and deep void continuously compressed and solidified, becoming viscous, transforming into a gigantic claw like a beast's claw, tearing through the void and furiously clawing down towards the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.
The Fire Lotus, which appeared to be only the size of a washbasin, seemed like an extremely small speck of dust compared to the colossal claw that almost encompassed the entire void. This created an incomparable illusion in people's minds.
Xiao Yan could only helplessly endure the terrifying gust of wind coming towards him. His pale face was now distorted by the howling wind, and the fierce wind made it increasingly difficult for him to breathe.
With his internal Dou Qi severely depleted, he couldn't possibly ignore the terrifying gale. Normally, such a gale would be difficult to even get within a hundred feet of him.
Of course, in comparison, Hei Mu was in no better condition. Most of the black mucus on his body had already dissipated, and his aura was weak and unstable. Even when the gale struck, his body swayed slightly.
The key to victory or defeat in this battle lies in the imminent clash between the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus and the Heaven-Seizing Claw.
Xiao Yan suppressed the waves of emptiness and weakness emanating from his body, forcing himself to stand up as he was about to collapse. His dark eyes were fixed on the slowly rotating Fire Lotus.
With his dry throat churning violently, Xiao Yan's heart pounded rapidly. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but feel incredibly tense about the current battle situation.
He was naturally aware of the power of the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, and this time, the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus was the most powerful he had ever unleashed. Its strength was beyond doubt.
However, Hei Mu's Heaven-Seizing Claw is also a powerful Intent Class Dou Technique. Even though its power is not as great as it was back then, Intent Class Dou Technique is still Intent Class Dou Technique, and its deterrent power is there. Xiao Yan Xiao Yan was extremely worried when he tried to counter it with his Human Class Dou Technique, Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.
Meanwhile, Hei Mu was just as nervous as Xiao Yan. The Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus had fused with the violent power of five Heavenly Flames. Even though they were far apart, the destructive power of that flame made him feel a chill.
Although his Heaven-Seizing Claw is a prestigious Intent Class Dou Technique, his current strength is not what it used to be. How could he possibly unleash the true power of Intent Class Dou Technique? It would be good enough if he could even match the Fire Lotus. Killing Xiao Yan is simply out of the question.
While feeling a chill run down his spine, Hei Mu was also deeply shaken. Such a terrifying Dou Technique was probably incomparable to ordinary Human Class Dou Technique. In that case, wouldn't the Fire Lotus be at least a High-Level Human Class Dou Technique?
A mere Half-Emperor possesses High-Level Human Class Dou Technique. Even in ancient times, few forces could boast such a background. Just who is behind this kid?!
At this moment, Hei Mu couldn't help but feel nervous again, and a slight hesitation crept into his heart.
If Xiao Yan were just a rogue cultivator, that would be fine, but if he had some powerful backing, then he would definitely be a terrifying figure that Xiao Yan would have to give way to.
However, any force of that kind would have been able to identify Hei Mu as the murderer the moment Xiao Yan died, and at that point, he would likely be doomed.
But then he thought, since he had already made the move, even if he released Xiao Yan now, it wouldn't end well. He might as well go all the way. After all, killing him or not killing him would have the same result, so he naturally couldn't let him go!
With this thought in mind, a ruthless glint flashed in Hei Mu's gloomy eyes, and then his gaze turned to Xiao Yan, his killing intent growing stronger.
The next moment, the instant Xiao Yan sensed the look in Hei Mu's eyes, the beautiful Fire Lotus in the void clashed fiercely with the terrifying, towering Holding Up the Heavens.
As the Fire Lotus slowly rotated, the outermost golden petals quietly separated from its main body and floated around the Fire Lotus.
And then, ripples of golden flame spread out, transforming into a curtain of fire that covered a section of space.
As the ripples spread, they were forcefully blocked in the void a hundred miles away, like an invisible barrier that encompassed the entire void covered by the fire curtain.
In Xiao Yan's eyes, Ling Tian's enormous claw finally descended, and the Fire Lotus, which was like a speck of dust in front of it, looked extremely precarious, as if it would be torn apart by the terrifying gale that followed in the next instant.
But compared to such speculation, the power of the Fire Lotus is even more prominent.
The fire curtain was blocked, and the spread-out Heavenly Flames also dissipated, turning into wisps of flame that slowly vanished into the void.
Having broken through the fire barrier, the Heaven-Seizing Claw seemed to become even more arrogant. Its terrifying pressure shattered the void, and streaks of bright silver spatial storms, like the sharp edges of swords, shot out from the depths of the void, scattering and dancing in this space. Anyone who saw it felt a chill run down their spine.
Such a violent spatial storm possessed power that even an ordinary One-Star Half-Emperor would not dare to easily ignore. And now, before the violent spatial storm could even rage, it was shattered into dust by the terrifying power of the Heaven-Seizing Claw.
The might of heaven and earth was rendered useless at this moment, and the terror of this Intent Class Dou Technique was obvious.
Of course, at the same time as the spatial storm raged, several dazzling energy streaks swept towards the Fire Lotus Fire Lotus, their terrifying power seemingly about to shatter it instantly.
In comparison, the Fire Lotus was even more powerful. The lotus petals scattered around it slowly rotated. The seemingly thin lotus petals, as they rotated, were like sharp blades. Under its slow rotation, the invisible void showed almost imperceptible spatial cracks.
The tiny cracks intertwine irregularly, like a tightly condensed net, but their sharpness is such that even some of the most renowned steels on the continent would be as hard as tofu before them.
Under such an invisible shield, those few dazzling spatial storms naturally couldn't cause any waves. In just one glance, the spatial storms that even One-Star Half-Emperor had to treat with caution were shattered in one blow.
A crisp sound, like glass shattering, quietly rang out, accompanied by another invisible spatial fluctuation spreading outwards. The atmosphere within this space suddenly became tense.
The moment the sound rang out, the lotus petals floating around the Fire Lotus suddenly trembled violently, and surging waves of fiery power swept over it like ocean waves.
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying ball of fire, hundreds of feet wide, stood in the void like a sun, its dazzling light shooting in all directions and penetrating deep into the void.
The scorching flames raged in the void. The dark and empty void, under the naked eye, resembled a viscous liquid. At a glance, the view was blocked by the void in front of one's eyes, making it impossible to look into the deeper darkness.
Conversely, as the lotus petals changed, Ling Tian's claws became increasingly solid, and wisps of dark mist rose up, transforming into sharp arrows in the void, carrying a chilling light, pointing directly at the Fire Lotus.
Black mist rose, and in just a moment, the entire void was filled with countless sharp arrows. At a glance, these endless arrows were like black venomous snakes, their sharp fangs impatiently staring at the Fire Lotus, as if they were just waiting for Qingtian to give the order to tear the Fire Lotus to shreds in an instant.
The next moment, in this space, a vast, dark mass of arrows completely surrounded the Fire Lotus Fire Lotus. Encircled by the arrows, even its once-proud, dazzling flames were completely buried...
