Chapter 952: Chapter 503: Eighth Life: Burning Flesh and Soul, Zhou Xun’s Demise! (Part 2)
Lu Yuan didn’t even glance, he simply drew his sword with one hand, easily blocking all the saber beams, causing Zhou Xun’s attacks to all come up empty.
Although from the surface.
Zhou Xun’s cultivation was profound, at the Nirvana Ninth Layer, even much stronger than the Thousand-year-old Ink Flood Dragon.
But Lu Yuan had experienced many lifetimes of reincarnation, not knowing how many powerful enemies and prodigies he had fought with.
His combat experience and power application techniques had already reached a state of mastery, far beyond what ordinary prodigies could achieve.
Just like with the same magic or technique, ordinary prodigies might be able to exert seven-tenths or nine-tenths of its power.
But Lu Yuan, relying on combat experience and techniques honed through many lifetimes of reincarnation, could unleash double or several times the destructive power with the same techniques!
The talent of ordinary prodigies was negligible in comparison to him.
"You can easily shatter my saber beams?"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xun’s face changed dramatically, finally realizing that the boy in front of him was terrifyingly strong, beyond common reasoning.
"I didn’t expect Cyan Cloud Sect, such a small place, to produce a monster like you. Given enough time, maybe you could even shake the fortunes of Great Li."
"It’s a pity you encountered me, and eventually, you must fall."
Zhou Xun tightly gripped the long saber in his hand, his entire body surging with spiritual power, his aura becoming increasingly powerful, even enough to rival a Half-step Celestial Destiny Great Power!
Moreover.
As he activated his cultivation technique, a wisp of red flame also appeared on the surface of his body.
When this wisp of flame first appeared, it was as weak as a flicker, as if a strong wind could extinguish it.
But as the flame burned, it quickly ignited Zhou Xun’s flesh and bones, even turning his soul into fuel, causing the flame to burn more fiercely.
"Whoosh!"
The red flame surged with the wind, enveloping Zhou Xun entirely in an instant, causing his aura to soar, swiftly surpassing the Ink Flood Dragon, infinitely close to a true Celestial Destiny Great Power.
"Using your body as a guide, Divine Fire Purification, is this your trump card?"
Lu Yuan watched Zhou Xun’s actions quietly, not obstructing but rather speaking with interest.
Because with his powerful divine thought, he could faintly sense.
When Zhou Xun used his flesh and blood to ignite that world-purifying divine fire, there seemed to be some mighty power descending from the void, bestowing itself upon him, causing his aura and power to increase several times over.
But as the price for obtaining such formidable power, Zhou Xun’s vitality and the essence of his flesh and blood were rapidly depleting.
At the rate at which the flame burned fiercely, he might end up playing with fire and burn down to ashes in less than half a day.
However, according to Lu Yuan’s observation, every time the flame on Zhou Xun ignited other things around him, his internal life’s flow rate would slow down significantly.
This also meant.
If he could seize enough vitality from others, he could alleviate or even avoid the side effects of the world-purifying divine fire.
"No wonder Divine Fire Sect disciples dare to use the world-purifying divine fire recklessly, they can originally seize others’ vitality for themselves?"
Lu Yuan mused.
But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
After all, the world-purifying divine fire is the foundation of the Divine Fire Sect. If ordinary disciples had to pay with their lives just to use the world-purifying divine fire.
What would the Divine Fire Sect have to expand their territory and spread their teachings?
Just like many powerful loose cultivators are willing to join the Divine Fire Sect for the sake of this technique of the world-purifying divine fire.
Because once this fire is ignited, not only can it greatly increase one’s own power, but it can also seize others’ vitality, fully serving as a trump card.
"These Great Teachings claim to be the Dao lineage of the human race, but in reality, they are just using the guise of saving the world to commit acts of deceit and unrighteousness."
Lu Yuan shook his head, seeing through the corruption of the Divine Fire Sect.
And if he guessed correctly.
This world-purifying divine fire of the Divine Fire Sect is likely a method used by some strongest to collect the belief and power of all living beings.
If more disciples of Divine Fire Sect use this move, then the world-purifying divine fire can seize more vitality to give back to the main body, and that strongest’s power will naturally become stronger.
"How dare you desecrate the fire of our sect, you truly deserve to die!"
Enveloped by the divine flame, Zhou Xun roared angrily.
In the minds of Divine Fire Sect followers, the world-purifying divine fire is the supreme sacred existence; the more devout their belief in the divine fire, the greater the power they can gain.
But Lu Yuan uttered blasphemous words, disparaging the world-purifying divine fire in many ways, how could Zhou Xun, who aspired to become an official disciple, tolerate this?
"Swoosh!"
Furious beyond measure, Zhou Xun swung his long saber overhead towards Lu Yuan.
Under the blessing of the world-purifying divine fire.
Red flames swirled around his blade, their power terrifying beyond compare. Even that thousand-year-old Ink Flood Dragon would likely be heavily injured in one strike.
But to Lu Yuan, it posed no threat at all.
"How can the light of a firefly compete with the brightness of the moon? I’m curious to see where your World-purifying Divine Fire truly originates from."
Holding the Cyan Frost Sword, Lu Yuan slashed through the air, sending out a fierce Sword Qi that collided with Zhou Xun’s Fiery Flame Long Saber.
In the next moment.
Towering cold air met the blazing flames, instantly vaporizing a large amount of water vapor.
Mist filled the air.
The figures of the two were like fleeting shadows, engaging in an intense battle mid-air.
However, as time passed, Lu Yuan discovered that the red flames on Zhou Xun’s body grew increasingly scorching, as though they could incinerate all things on earth, even threatening to ignite Lu Yuan’s Divine Soul!
"Interesting, these flames can even affect the Divine Soul. It seems the founder of the Divine Fire Sect had quite the expertise in the Fire Dao,"
Lu Yuan remarked with a hint of surprise.
Back in the Seven-Star Wilderness World, Lu Yuan had delved deeply into the path of the Fire Dao, mastering both the Sun Divine Fire and the Taiyin Divine Fire, two world-ending fires.
Yet, in Lu Yuan’s view,
the World-purifying Divine Fire of the Divine Fire Sect not only incinerated the flesh but also scorched the soul, clearly mirroring the Sun Divine Fire.
"Although the Heaven and Earth Laws of each World Plane differ, mastering one leads to mastering ten thousand. In cultivation, many Law Daos converge to the same end."
A glimmer of understanding crossed Lu Yuan’s eyes.
Yet, despite the formidable power of the World-purifying Divine Fire, Zhou Xun lacked the strength to unleash its true might.
As the red flames on Zhou Xun’s body intensified, capable of even igniting the air.
The Three-Colored Treasure Lotus within Lu Yuan’s Soul Palace merely rotated slightly, emanating a refreshing coolness that suppressed all flames entirely.
"How is this possible?! He can actually suppress the Divine Fire of our sect?"
Zhou Xun’s face turned pale with shock, a storm brewing in his heart.
The World-purifying Divine Fire had miraculous uses, capable of burning body and soul.
As long as the enemy was caught off guard, their soul would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
All along,
he had been invincible in the Imperial City using this move, even the Divine Offsprings of the Imperial Race couldn’t match him.
This was the first time he had suffered a setback at the hands of a peer.
"So this is all the famed World-purifying Divine Fire amounts to. This farce should come to an end,"
Lu Yuan, losing interest, no longer wished to entangle with Zhou Xun.
In the next moment,
with a slight mental command, the three-inch little figure sitting at the center of the Three-Colored Treasure Lotus in his Soul Palace casually waved.
The Godslaying Sword in his hand transformed into a beam of light, traversing the void at lightning speed, piercing Zhou Xun’s brow and exiting through the back of his head.
Then, the Godslaying Sword twirled in mid-air, forming several sword patterns, before returning to the hand of the three-inch little figure.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xun had no time to react before all vitality within him was extinguished by a single sword.
His previously indestructible Divine Soul exploded, eventually disintegrating into specks of light that scattered into the air.
"Bang!"
As Zhou Xun’s vitality waned, the flaming red fire on his body ceased abruptly, like a candle snuffed out by the wind, posing no further danger.
However, Lu Yuan could faintly sense that,
at the moment the World-purifying Divine Fire was extinguished,
a mysterious mighty power did not dissipate but instead submerged silently into the void, disappearing completely.
"I was right—the World-purifying Divine Fire is indeed a tool used by some existence to harvest souls,"
Lu Yuan mused, furrowing his brows.
The Supreme Origin Sacred Realm was exceptionally unique, a world of illusion and falsehood constructed by the God of Illusion, existing solely in memories and legends.
But with the Refining the Path to Divinity of the Supreme Origin Saint Master, the world underwent unpredictable changes, attracting many of the Main World’s strongest and deities.
They flocked to this realm, spreading faith, establishing Dao lineages, hoping to seize the World Origin through their followers.
The sudden rise of the Fire God Sect was too abrupt.
Lu Yuan could almost conclude that a Main World powerhouse must be backing it!
