Chapter 178: Makes Sense—Then Come Kill Me!
Shhh!
The crimson claw met Zhu Tianhuo's spear light, instantly incinerating it.
The massive claw didn't slow in the slightest—it closed tightly around Zhu Tianhuo.
Fwoooosh!
Immediately, Nirvana Fire erupted around the claw, enveloping Zhu Tianhuo's body.
Even more terrifying—wisps of Nirvana Demon Flame slithered within it!
"AAAHHH—!"
If it had been just Nirvana Fire, Zhu Tianhuo might've been able to hold out. But the Nirvana Demon Flame overwhelmed him completely. His body began to melt rapidly, and a piercing scream tore from his throat!
Against Nirvana Demon Flame, the only method of resistance was to use overwhelming yuan power to isolate and extinguish it.
Zhu Tianhuo had never imagined Lin Fan could attack with Nirvana Demon Flame. He was instantly wounded, and the flames began to melt through his body without mercy.
By the time he thought to defend himself with yuan power, it was already too late!
Unless he could immediately cut off the infected parts of his body, there was no hope.
But Lin Fan's Vermilion Claw had spread the Demon Flame across Zhu Tianhuo's entire body—his chest, head, and other vital points included. There was nothing to cut off.
"That's... Nirvana Demon Flame!"
The surrounding spectators gasped in horror as they recognized the jet-black flames.
Nirvana Demon Flame was a terrifying fire one had to endure during the third Nirvana Tribulation—famous for its ability to melt anything.
Most of the people present hadn't yet survived their third tribulation, but they had all heard tales of the Demon Flame's terror.
Even those who had passed it felt a chill run down their spines.
If they had to endure it again… they weren't sure they'd survive.
Even Mu Huang of the Great Qian Dynasty now looked at Lin Fan with growing dread.
Attacking with Nirvana Demon Flame—this man was truly terrifying.
"Lin Fan! I'm from the Great Qian Dynasty! If you kill me, they won't let you live!"
Zhu Tianhuo roared from within the burning claw, voice filled with pain and hatred.
"That's none of my concern,"
Lin Fan replied flatly. His yuan-powered hand reached into the flames and removed Zhu Tianhuo's spatial pouch and scarlet spear.
"AHHHH!"
Zhu Tianhuo screamed one final time, then lifted a hand and slapped it against his forehead.
BOOM!
His skull exploded instantly.
Unable to withstand the agony of the Nirvana Fire and Demon Flame—and unable to escape—he chose to end it himself.
After his death, his body was completely devoured by the Demon Flame. Not even ashes remained.
Hiss—!
The surrounding crowd of elite dynasty cultivators collectively gasped, staring at Lin Fan in pure fear.
This man was beyond terrifying.
If one wasn't careful and got tainted by that Demon Flame, they'd vanish completely. Who wouldn't be terrified?
Even Lin Dong and Xiao Diao were shaken.
Lin Dong had just survived his third Nirvana Tribulation in the Azure Dragon Hall, and he remembered being extremely cautious around the Demon Flame, terrified of being touched by it.
Yet Lin Fan could now use it in combat!
"You're next."
After killing Zhu Tianhuo, Lin Fan turned his gaze to Mu Huang, speaking calmly.
Mu Huang took a deep breath. "Lin Fan, must you take this so far? The Great Qian Dynasty is a super dynasty—we have Four Yuan Nirvana experts!"
Lin Fan sneered,
"Can your Four Yuan Nirvana withstand Nirvana Demon Flame? Besides… I've already killed one of you. Killing two isn't much different."
Mu Huang's expression froze.
He growled, "Don't think just because you've got Nirvana Demon Flame you're invincible."
"With enough yuan power, one can resist and slowly dispel it—even after you're dead!"
Lin Fan nodded slowly. "Makes sense.
Come kill me, then."
"You're courting death!"
Mu Huang roared. His eyes flashed with cold light as he unleashed a beast-like bellow.
His body began to expand—ten meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters…
His skin turned earthen yellow, cracked like stone, emanating the aura of a towering mountain.
From afar, he looked like a walking mountain peak!
"That's… a spiritual martial art!"
The crowd's eyes widened, filled with awe and greed.
"Mountain-Bearing Form—Shifting Mountain Might!"
In seconds, Mu Huang's transformation completed. His skin now fully resembled weathered stone, and glowing lines crawled across his massive form.
He lowered his head, glaring at Lin Fan. Killing intent blazed in his eyes.
"Die!"
The mountain giant's voice rumbled through the city.
He stepped forward—
A shockwave of immense force swept out like a typhoon!
The power of a spiritual martial art—terrifying.
BOOM!
A massive power storm exploded from the sky. Mu Huang's fist, now enormous, slammed down with a savage force that darkened the heavens.
The fist's shockwave ruptured the air and cracked towering buildings throughout the city below.
The watching crowd panicked, retreating at top speed.
But Lin Fan remained unmoved—his expression calm.
With a thought, crimson light surged around him.
He changed his hand seals, drawing that light into his palm, tinged with dark hues.
Fwoooosh!
His hand erupted into flames—Nirvana Fire mixed with Nirvana Demon Flame.
His palm expanded rapidly, growing to match the scale of the mountain giant.
In the center of the palm, hairline cracks spread—ominous and terrifying.
"Vermilion Sky-Cleaving Palm!"
With a low shout, Lin Fan launched the blazing palm like lightning, smashing it toward Mu Huang's chest!
BOOM!
A muffled boom echoed across the heavens. Every eye in the city locked onto the flaming giant palm.
Crack… crack… crack…!
Suddenly, sharp cracking sounds rang out.
Everyone watched in shock as massive fissures spread across Mu Huang's mountainous body—starting from his chest.
BOOOOM!
With a thunderous explosion, the mountain giant shattered into countless stone fragments!
