Chapter 395: One Win, One Loss!
"This aura…"
Outside the Limitless Mirror, countless cultivators were stunned as Hua Chen's power suddenly skyrocketed. No one had expected that he had been hiding such terrifying strength.
"So it really is the aura of a Yi Mo…"
On the Flame God Temple's grand platform, Mo Luo's crimson eyes sharpened. As he stared at the rampaging black energy within the Limitless Mirror, faint flames began to rise from his body.
"Indeed, it's Yi Mo energy… though not pure," the Grand Elder of Flame God Temple said with a frown.
"Even so, Hua Chen's strength is now greatly amplified. I wonder if Lin Fan can still overcome him…"
Earlier, Lin Fan had utterly suppressed Hua Chen with ease, even severing one of his arms—an outcome that had greatly pleased the watching experts.
But now, in the blink of an eye, Lin Fan's advantage seemed to have vanished.
Mo Luo's gaze stayed fixed on the battlefield within the mirror, on the upright figure facing Hua Chen's transformation. Yet even now, Lin Fan's expression remained utterly calm.
Seeing this, Mo Luo chuckled, admiration glinting in his eyes.
"This kid hides deeper than we ever imagined. Don't forget—even the Cave Master of Evil Wind Cave Heaven, Wu Xuan, died at his hands. No matter how strong Hua Chen is… can he truly compare to Wu Xuan?"
"With that kind of confidence, I doubt he'll lose here."
"So this is the power of the demon seed? This is your trump card?" Lin Fan's gaze was cold as he stared at the pitch-black energy engulfing the sky.
"To me, it's just a filthy trick."
"You know quite a bit, don't you?" Hua Chen sneered, his blood-red pupils flashing with hatred.
"But you're already afraid. That forced bravado won't change your fate—you're going to die today!"
Meanwhile, on the other battlefield, Tang Xinlian and Xu Xiu's fight had reached its climax.
Tang Xinlian bit the tip of her finger, and bright red blood dripped from it. As she flicked her fingers, glowing crimson sigils began forming before her.
The fiery light surrounding her exploded outward. She stood amidst a storm of flames, radiating power.
"Flame God Transformation Art!"
A cold voice rang out. The flames wrapped around her body, and behind her, they coalesced into a pair of massive phoenix wings. At the same time, her aura surged to a new peak.
"Nirvana Flame!"
Cawww!
A clear phoenix cry echoed through the sky. Eyes turned upward as a giant phoenix wreathed in fire descended from above, flames roaring across its body as if ready to burn the heavens themselves.
Facing the incoming phoenix, Xu Xiu's diamond-shaped pupils narrowed.
He raised a pitch-black arm and drew a long slash through the air.
"Demonic Abyss Devouring Slash!"
A massive tear in space opened, and from within it, a gigantic dark abyss appeared, like the maw of an ancient beast.
The black abyss rolled forward, swallowing everything in its path, colliding head-on with the flaming phoenix.
BOOOOM!
Two terrifying forces met in midair, unleashing a world-shaking explosion.
The shockwaves tore through mountains. Blinding light burst out from the impact, forcing everyone to squint—and even then, most couldn't look away.
"So full of yourself."
Lin Fan spared a glance at Tang Xinlian's battlefield, sneering coldly.
Then, without another word to Hua Chen, he moved.
His hands clenched, and the space in front of him twisted violently—transforming into a massive space-forged greatsword nearly a thousand meters long.
"Boom!"
With the blade gripped tightly, Lin Fan brought it crashing down, aiming directly for Hua Chen's chest!
"Bastard!"
"You'll regret this!"
Seeing Lin Fan attack without a word, Hua Chen cursed and disappeared into a cloud of black mist. At the same time, black fog surged out, completely shrouding the mountaintop.
"AHHHH!"
Moments later, a horrific scream rang out from within the darkness.
Then, with a swoosh, Lin Fan's giant space sword cleaved the fog in half, making it impossible to re-form.
BOOM! BOOM!
The ground beneath them, the very peak of Limitless Mountain, shook violently, as if it had been split in two by that one sword strike.
The black mist dispersed.
Hua Chen's figure reappeared.
But now he looked far more wretched. His left side—from his shoulder to his waist—had been cleaved clean off.
The wound gleamed like polished glass, and for a second, no blood flowed—until the delay ended and blood exploded from the wound in torrents.
"Cawww!"
At the same time, on the other battlefield, another phoenix cry echoed.
But this time, it was shrill and tragic.
The flaming phoenix exploded, scattering into flaming fragments. From within, Tang Xinlian's battered figure emerged, her armor shattered, her body covered in blood.
The Flame Fairy had been defeated!
Lin Fan turned, ready to finish Hua Chen off.
But before he could move, the victorious Xu Xiu suddenly blurred forward—racing directly toward Lin Fan.
As he closed the distance, his entire body darkened, an eerie chill spreading with him.
"Demonic Devouring Statue!"
Xu Xiu roared. His pupils glowed with malevolence, and behind him, space tore open.
A massive, faceless demon statue stepped forth from the tear.
Its only feature was a giant swirling vortex at the center of its forehead.
The sight made the temperature drop, and even the bravest cultivators watching shivered.
Faced with this sudden threat, Lin Fan didn't dare hold back.
He gave up on killing Hua Chen for the moment.
He raised both hands, red light exploding from his body. Behind his head, a fiery sun formed instantly—blazing and oppressive.
It was a Flame Sun conjured from pure fire energy.
"Go."
Lin Fan let out a low command, and the sun shot forward.
BOOM BOOM!
The thousand-meter-wide sun roared through the sky, becoming a blazing fireball that lit up the entire battlefield.
As it slammed down on Xu Xiu and his demonic statue, it exploded into a sea of fire, consuming the surroundings. Space bent under the heat.
The battle had entered its most intense stage—and both enemies were now unleashing their most terrifying techniques.
