Chapter 1790: Flame Lotus Shakes the Heavens

“I never need anyone to give me my opportunities . Furthermore… this should be enough if it’s just to kill you . ”

Long Chen didn’t allow the black flame lotus to absorb any more flame energy . If it grew any stronger, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to control it .

The flame lotus was thirty thousand meters long . As the flame runes filling the sky shattered, a fierce destructive will exploded .

The flame lotus was clearly a bit unsteady . It was starting to grow out of control, causing Long Chen’s expression to change . He had given the flame lotus too much energy, and it was starting to run rampant .

However, then a dragon roar came from the flame lotus, causing it to stabilize .

This black flame lotus had been condensed with all of Huo Long’s power . However, Huo Long’s energy had just been the seed . It was the Nirvana Scripture that had drawn out all the world’s flame energy for it .

The flame energy was the fertile soil that had allowed the seed to rapidly grow . But now there was so much foreign energy that it was starting to change . Fortunately, even though this seed had grown into a tree that towered into the heavens, it still remembered the original seed . Huo Long used that connection to temporarily control it .

“Mammoth Heaven Slaughter!”

Xiang Yunfei’s roar rang out . The huge spear pierced forward mercilessly .

“World Annihilation Flame Lotus!”

Long Chen also let out a roar . His Spiritual Strength erupted, and the flame lotus smashed toward the huge spear .

The spear’s size, aura, and all other areas seemed to far surpass the black flame lotus . But when the two of them collided, the giant spear paused . It was unable to pierce through the flame lotus .

“It blocked it?!” Startled cries rang out . Long Chen’s flame lotus seemed minute in the face of the giant spear, but it had blocked it .

The flame lotus continued to slowly revolve . The tip of the spear was ground away, becoming a blunt object as if the flame lotus was a rapidly spinning grindstone .

“Impossible!”

Xiang Yunfei’s expression completely changed . This giant spear was his strongest attack . He had even summoned his ancestors’ power . Hence, this attack even possessed the power to kill Netherpassage experts .

However, that black flame lotus had actually blocked it . His spear was unable to pierce through it .

Furthermore, he felt the spear’s energy being ground away . That was the most horrifying thing .

Xiang Yunfei suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood . The energy inside that blood was shocking . It was his essence blood .

The essence blood formed a mammoth image in the sky . Xiang Yunfei coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, strengthening the mammoth image .

“Are you pregnant? Is this your morning sickness?” asked Long Chen .

Xiang Yunfei coughed up blood once more, but this time it was just ordinary blood, not essence blood . He had bitten his tongue .

This distraction caused Xiang Yunfei’s mammoth image to quiver . It almost crumbled, and Xiang Yunfei hastily spat out another large amount of essence blood .

On the other side, Long Chen was panting . Even his soul was in pain . He had used up too much Spiritual Strength, and it seemed he had overdrafted his spiritual yuan . This was his first time using the World Annihilation Flame Lotus against an enemy, and he had never used it with so much power .

From the start, he knew that his chances of getting an easy victory were almost nonexistent .

Moreover, he didn’t want to just defeat Xiang Yunfei . He wanted to kill him .

So even though Xiang Yunfei’s Yuan Spirit had been injured, Long Chen hadn’t tried charging at him, instead accepting Xiang Yunfei’s attrition battle .

If he had gone all-out at that time, he would have had an eighty percent chance of defeating Xiang Yunfei, but… he wouldn’t even have a ten percent chance of killing him because Xiang Yunfei would run .

So all the way back then, Long Chen had already been preparing to exhaust all of Xiang Yunfei’s energy and kill him with the World Annihilation Flame Lotus .

When Xiang Yunfei had been healing his Yuan Spirit, Long Chen had been imagining and extrapolating how to use the World Annihilation Flame Lotus . Using this move was still very dangerous for him, and rather than annihilating a world, it would annihilate him first if he made a mistake .

However, Long Chen hadn’t expected Xiang Yunfei to also have such a terrifying trump card . His goal had actually been the same as Long Chen’s . He had wanted to exhaust all his energy and then kill Long Chen in one final move .

The good thing though was that the World Annihilation Flame Lotus was even stronger than what Long Chen had imagined .

This World Annihilation Flame Lotus’s core power was condensed in the nine Star Falls . The nine petals were just there as a frame for the Star Falls .

Seeing that Xiang Yunfei’s attack wasn’t even able to break the outer frame of the World Annihilation Flame Lotus, it seemed that it wasn’t qualified to compete with it .

The greatest surprise to Long Chen was that he didn’t even need to control it after he launched it . Huo Long’s own will was enough to keep it stable .

As for Xiang Yunfei, he was at a disadvantage . The spear was constantly being ground away, and its energy was dissipating into the air . He had to use his own essence blood to keep strengthening it, or it would be broken .

“Using my blood, I summon my ancestors’ undying spirits! Lend me your power to destroy the enemy before me…”

Xiang Yunfei crossed his arms before his chest and began to chant . The blood image in front of him seemed to come to life, and it flew into the giant spear .

The spear shook intensely . Blinding divine light erupted .

“Die!”

Xiang Yunfei was pale, but his eyes contained a bit of madness and malevolence . Having exhausted too much of his essence blood, he had paid a terrifying price to kill Long Chen .

The spear began to pierce the flame lotus’s exterior . However, the flame lotus did not crumble but instead began to shine as well .

The nine stars on top of it began to rumble as if they had been awoken from their slumber .

Long Chen was staring closely at these changes . This was his first time using this technique at full strength . The results would allow him to see how he could further perfect it .

As the petals were destroyed, the flame lotus’s energy became unbalanced . The nine stars took the lead, leaving the flame lotus and forming their own ring .

This black ring condensed the energy of the nine stars into the center . The energy had just gathered in the center when it rebounded back to the nine stars . As a result, the nine stars instantly exploded .

Darkness enveloped the world . Xiang Yunfei’s spear was destroyed instantly, unable to endure that power .

“This is impossible!” Xiang Yunfei roared, unable to believe his eyes . He coughed up a mouthful of blood .

This spear had been condensed with the power of his ancestors as well as his own power . It was connected to his soul, and he received a heavy injury as it was destroyed .

Xing Yunfei endured the pain . He split his one Heavenly Bone Spear into one hundred and eight of them, forming three walls with them . He was truly an expert with immense combat experience .

However, his three bone shields were nothing in the face of this black wave . They were sent flying, while Xiang Yunfei was buffeted by the powerful shockwaves to the point that his skeleton shattered and he almost exploded . He was sent tumbling into the distance .

The black wave crashed into Qu Jianying’s barrier . The barrier shook, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on it .

Qu Jianying was shocked . With Yan Nantian’s warning, she hadn’t been careless . This barrier had been condensed with eighty percent of her power .

However, the impact of Long Chen’s attack was actually enough to crack it . That meant that it definitely had the ability to kill Netherpassage experts .

Darkness enveloped the battlefield . A terrifying heat was refining heaven and earth .

Although it was only darkness in front of them, it somehow felt like countless black dragons were roaring within it . This darkness was pitch-black . It was a darkness so dark that it was impossible to see hope . It was a darkness that inspired only fear .

Even the Netherpassage experts had summoned their own defenses to block this heat . They could feel the wild energy in the air .

“Truly worthy of the Black Illusion Dragon Flame, famed for its unmatched destructive power,” said Yan Nantian as he sensed the black flames crashing against his defenses .

The other Netherpassage experts were also stunned . They were only at the edge of the battlefield . If they were at the center, this attack would have taken their lives .

The darkness slowly faded . The sky was still gloomy, and the sun seemed like it had lost its power . A terrifying destructive aura still filled the air .

“Where are they?”

The battlefield had been completely deformed, but the sky was empty . Neither Long Chen nor Xiang Yunfei were present .
