Chapter 195: Ruthless Means—All Tremble in Fear!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Crimson flames erupted as violent yuan power surged forth, instantly shattering every one of Xiao Shan's blade strikes with Lin Fan's blazing palm!
Then, the fiery palm continued its charge toward Xiao Shan.
RUMBLE—!
The force of the impact echoed like thunder through the night sky, shaking the heavens!
Rips tore through the surrounding space, leaking a dangerously volatile aura.
"Impressive… but I'm not so easy to defeat!"
Xiao Shan's pupils shrank. With a shout, he spread his arms wide—his chest trembling violently as an eruption of scarlet yuan surged out like a volcano.
Under countless stunned gazes, the energy condensed into a massive beast—
a hundred-zhang-tall crimson giant.
It had the body of an ape, crimson-colored feet, and a brilliant white head that glowed like jade.
This was no illusion.
It was a true form—the ancient beast Zhuyuan's body!
An overwhelming prehistoric aura poured out. It looked like a demon from the ancient wilderness.
"Zhuyuan Demon Spirit!"
Xiao Shan fused into the giant beast, and with a roar, the monstrous form let out a deafening screech.
It slammed its mountain-sized claw downward with crushing might, tearing through space itself—aimed straight at Lin Fan's flaming palm!
BOOM!
Fist met palm in a devastating clash.
The night sky seemed to tremble.
"Shatter."
Lin Fan's eyes turned ice-cold as he murmured, tightening his grip slightly.
BOOM!
The giant claw of the Zhuyuan Demon Spirit exploded in a thunderous shockwave!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A chain reaction followed—
The massive beast itself began to crack, then shattered entirely under Lin Fan's palm strike!
In the sky, it looked like a massive crimson firework had burst open.
"Aaahhhh!"
A desperate scream tore through the sky—it came from within the beast's body.
Xiao Shan's figure appeared in full view, his body cracked like broken porcelain.
He didn't even have time to say another word—
He exploded into bloody fragments, scattering in all directions!
RUMBLE!
The remaining force of the blazing palm slammed into the mountaintop below—
breaking it in half and shaking the entire peak like an earthquake.
The Daluo Dynasty forces stationed there were already fleeing in terror.
A few unlucky ones were caught by the shockwaves and seriously injured, barely clinging to life.
"Hissss—!"
Gasps of shock filled the night sky.
Both Lin Fan and Xiao Shan were already well-known figures in the core region.
Many cultivators had been secretly watching the battle.
Most people had expected Xiao Shan to win—after all, he was from a super dynasty!
Lin Fan? Just a low-tier dynasty lucky enough to inherit one of the Four Profound Sect legacies.
But the battle's conclusion…
Had shattered all expectations.
Even those who had thought Lin Fan might win—never expected it would be this decisive.
Everyone who saw it stood there, stunned, completely overwhelmed.
"Impossible…"
"Xiao Shan actually lost? He died?! Am I dreaming?!"
"He tried to pass the Fifth Nirvana Tribulation once—even if he failed, he was still unmatched in the Fourth Yuan realm. Lin Fan killed him in a single move?! What kind of strength is that?!"
"Even top Fifth Yuan Nirvana experts couldn't kill Xiao Shan like that. Could Lin Fan already be at Sixth Yuan Nirvana?!"
"No way—even among the top ten super dynasties, no one's rumored to have reached that stage!"
"Whether it's Sixth or peak Fifth… he's not someone we can afford to provoke!"
…
As the whispers grew louder, everyone looked at Lin Fan with awe and reverence.
On the mountaintop where Xiao Yan was undergoing his tribulation, Su Kui, Mo Ling, and the others all stared with wide eyes.
Especially Mo Ling and his group—
They thought they knew Lin Fan well, but after just a few months apart, he'd become utterly unrecognizable.
"Vermilion Flame Barrier!"
Without sparing a glance at the crowd, Lin Fan locked eyes on the Daluo Dynasty cultivators who were trying to escape.
His gaze sharpened—then he activated another move from the Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Art!
In a flash, all of them were trapped within a flaming dome, unable to flee.
Lin Fan moved like lightning—snatching their spatial pouches and Nirvana Seals one by one.
Then, with a flick of his mind, three-colored flames erupted within the barrier.
"Aaaahhh!"
Screams echoed for a few moments…
Until only ashes remained.
Those who saw this scene felt a chill crawl down their spines.
Not only was Lin Fan terrifyingly strong—he was merciless.
Every onlooker shared the same thought:
This is not someone we can ever afford to offend.
"Anyone else… thinking of coming after us?"
Lin Fan swept his cold gaze across the silent skies, his calm voice cutting through the night.
No one answered.
Even the mighty Daluo Dynasty had been wiped out—
No one wanted to become the next example.
Silence reigned in the sky.
Back on the mountain, Mo Ling and the others rubbed their faces to shake off the shock.
Su Rou looked up at Lin Fan, her eyes shimmering with admiration and awe.
Satisfied, Lin Fan slowly descended back to the mountain.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Just then, a violent burst of yuan power surged forth from the mountain.
The heat washed over the land, sweeping away the cool night air.
Nearby cultivators instinctively backed away as their own energy began to react.
"He's completing his tribulation…"
Many whispered as they watched the blazing peak.
Then—
A crimson pillar of light shot into the sky, ripping apart the darkness for hundreds of miles!
ROAR!
At the same moment, a thunderous tiger's roar shook the forest—
Its mighty pressure spreading across the land.
"He succeeded!"
Lin Dong's face lit up with joy.
The others were also delighted—Xiao Yan had passed his Fourth Nirvana Tribulation.
Their group had just become even stronger.
All across the night sky, watching cultivators turned pale.
This aura—although it belonged to someone who had just broken through—was already comparable to a peak Fourth Yuan Nirvana expert!
The crowd grew even more fearful of Lin Fan's party.
"Let's go. Dawn is near. We should hurry to Hundred Dynasty Mountain."
Lin Fan said with a smile as Xiao Yan's flames faded behind him.
