Chapter 393: Then Let's See Who Kills Who!
Lin Fan slightly raised his head. At this moment, he had already reached the highest point in this space. His gaze pierced through the mist and landed on the endless forest stretching far into the horizon.
A radiant pillar of light soared into the sky from the peak seal in Lin Fan's hand, wrapping his entire body in brilliant radiance and making him appear like a divine warrior.
His eyes followed the light, gazing into the distance, where nine other towering peaks still lay shrouded in dense clouds and mist.
Whoosh!
But that mist didn't last long. One after another, dazzling beams of light burst skyward. As the mist cleared, powerful figures emerged from the light pillars.
The scene gradually sharpened.
Before long, Lin Fan clearly saw the other nine figures who had obtained peak seals.
Among them were Hua Chen from Yuan Gate, Xu Xiu the Faceless One, Tang Xinlian the Flame Fairy, Mu Lingshan, Lin Dong, Zhou Ze, Teng Kui, and two unfamiliar faces—likely dark horse contestants who had risen during the Thunder Battle.
…
Flamefire City.
Countless eyes were fixed on the ten-thousand-meter-wide Mirror of Limitless Mountain suspended in the air. At this moment, swirling mists filled its surface, but what it displayed were the final ten standing atop the peaks.
Ten figures, each standing proudly at the summit of their respective mountains. Despite the mirror's buffering effects, their overwhelming auras still sent chills down the spines of many within the city.
"Xu Xiu, Tang Xinlian, and Zhou Ze—as expected. The top three of the Rising Star Ranking truly live up to their names."
"But the scariest one is Lin Fan! He sent Qin Yuan flying with a punch and then slaughtered Sha Li in two moves. Unbelievable!"
"It looks like the real contenders for the Thunder Ancestral Symbol are Xu Xiu, Tang Xinlian, Zhou Ze, and Lin Fan. The final showdown is about to begin!"
Whispers and exclamations erupted throughout the city as the ten appeared on the mirror's surface.
"They've all made it…"
At the top of Flame God Temple's main hall, Mo Luo stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the massive mirror with a calm gaze.
His eyes scanned the ten figures, eventually settling on Hua Chen and Xu Xiu.
"That aura… as I suspected—they're Yi Mo."
Mo Luo narrowed his eyes. A few moments later, a cold gleam flashed across his pupils.
"These two are strong," said a red-robed elder who floated silently behind Mo Luo, his eyes locked on Hua Chen and Xu Xiu.
He was the Grand Elder of Flame God Temple and a powerful force in his own right.
"For their generation, yes, they are," Mo Luo nodded. Then a faint smile formed on his face.
"But with Lin Fan here, and Xinlian supporting him, we should still be able to carry out the plan as intended."
"Let's hope everything goes smoothly," the Grand Elder replied.
"Temple Master, has Lord Qing Zhi arrived yet?"
They still didn't know what level of Yi Mo might be drawn out during this plan. The Grand Elder feared Mo Luo might not be enough on his own. If the plan failed, Flame God Temple could face complete destruction.
"If the Yi Mo appear, they'll reveal themselves," Mo Luo said calmly.
"But if we fail, Qing Zhi won't intervene. Everything now depends on Lin Fan and Xinlian…"
…
Mists still coiled through the sky, while ten majestic mountain peaks jutted from the clouds. Ten figures stood at their summits, gazing down as if the world of the Limitless Mirror lay at their feet.
In the center of those peaks stood the main summit—a colossal mountain where thunder and lightning crackled at its peak, emanating a terrifying aura.
Eyes from all the peaks focused on that summit. Countless gazes burned with anticipation.
The Thunder Ancestral Symbol was within reach.
"Heh… it's an honor to face the most talented youths of the Devil Chaos Sea here today."
On one peak, the black-clad Hua Chen withdrew his gaze from the Thunder Ancestral Symbol and smiled humbly at the others around him.
"I've long yearned for this divine treasure. I hope everyone can help fulfill my wish."
As his words fell, Hua Chen moved first—darting toward the main summit.
Naturally, no one was going to let him take the Thunder Ancestral Symbol uncontested.
One of the dark horse contestants charged forward to intercept him.
But with a single blow, Hua Chen obliterated him—despite the man being at early Death Profound Realm.
The other finalists' expressions all changed slightly. Deep caution flickered in their eyes.
"Anyone else have a problem?" Hua Chen licked his lips and scanned the rest with a faint smile.
"You think getting the Thunder Ancestral Symbol will be that easy?"
Lin Fan finally stepped forward, sweeping his gaze over the others and shaking his head.
Hua Chen's eyes narrowed. He hadn't witnessed Lin Fan sending Qin Yuan flying or killing Sha Li, but he had heard that Lin Fan had taken out Qingteng, the former fifth-ranked genius, in a single move.
From what he knew of Lin Fan's strength, this wouldn't be an easy fight.
Still, his priority was obtaining the Thunder Ancestral Symbol.
Suddenly, on another summit, a black-robed figure leaned against the cliff wall and slowly pulled back his hood—revealing a face covered in tightly wrapped bandages. From the gaps in the cloth, a pair of serpentine, diamond-shaped pupils stared at Lin Fan.
The man stepped forward slowly.
"So you're the Dao Sect disciple who stirred up the Devil Chaos Sea in under a year…" he said hoarsely.
"Let's see what you've got."
At that moment, a fiery red streak burst from another peak.
"CLANG!"
A flaming phoenix spear lifted skyward. The figure wielding it pointed it directly at Xu Xiu.
It was Tang Xinlian, her eyes icy cold, her overwhelming Yuan Power spiraling around her like a hurricane.
"I'll be your opponent. And it's about time someone took your number one spot."
Hovering in midair, the Flame Fairy's long red hair flowed in the wind. Her stunning face now radiated a killing aura.
BOOM BOOM!
The pressure from her aura bent the air around her with audible groans. Her presence was simply overwhelming.
"Looks like we'll still have to fight it out before anyone gets the Thunder Ancestral Symbol…"
Hua Chen smiled, but his eyes glinted with cold malice.
"In that case… I'll just kill you all."
"Then let's see who kills who!"
Lin Fan's calm voice rang out. His powerful Yuan Power surged violently, waves of crimson energy rolling off his body, twisting the air around him.
"Heh… Lin Fan from Dao Sect… your sect placed a bounty on your head, you know? If I kill you now, I can claim a handsome reward."
Hua Chen sneered, clenching his fists as dark energy swirled up from his fingertips. He roared—
—and threw a punch straight at Lin Fan!
