Chapter 1088 - The Battle Begins, Destroying the Flame Formation With the Yin Yang Symbol, An Ancien

"Are you satisfied with this great gift of mine?" Chu Kuangren's voice echoed from the skies.

The Lin clan's cultivators were all trembling and gritting their teeth with anger.

Chu Kuangren's attack earlier did not only reduce the whole Lin clan into ruins, but it also killed and injured a large number of Lin clan disciples.

He even turned the whole volcanic terrain into wetlands, completely destroying the Lin clan's treasured cultivation terrain with a single sword attack!

Lin Zhaotian stared daggers at Chu Kuangren. He had never hated someone so much in his life that he wished to tear them into pieces!

"Chu Kuangren, you shall die now!"

Following a roar, the Lin clan officially started their war with Chu Kuangren!

The first to attack was Lin Zhaotian, the Lin clan's leader. Being an Earthen Immortal at peak cultivation level, he was an extremely powerful individual.

Bursts of divine fire emerged from his body, instantly vaporizing the surrounding moisture around him, and then he unleashed a punch.

With a boom, an explosion erupted in the void!

A golden ball of divine fire was hurled toward Chu Kuangren.

"Playing with fire, huh? But are you a match for the Essence of All Flames?" Chu Kuangren chuckled.

As he raised his hand, the cries of a phoenix rang out, and a wave of golden crimson Phoenix's Flame surged forth, instantly devouring the incoming divine fire.

The moment the two divine fires clashed, the Phoenix's flame broke through. Shocked, Lin Zhaotian quickly dodged it.

The Phoenix's Flame landed on the Lin clan and exploded into countless sparks that fell everywhere. The Lin clan disciples who could not evade were immediately engulfed and set ablaze by the flames.

"How is this possible? Those are only sparks of embers."

"No, no…"

Some of the Lin clan disciples tried to disperse the flames but to no avail. The flames were akin to gangrene attached to their bones, unrelenting until their target had been completely burned away.

"These flames are burning their sins and karma! This is a Karmic Flame!"

Lin Zhaotian immediately recognized the trait of that crimson-golden Phoenix's Flame, and his expression changed. "You have refined and mastered the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame!"

Chu Kuangren grinned. "That's right. You can now call it the… Crimson Lotus Phoenix Flame!"

He slowly descended from the sky. The moment his toes touched the Lin clan's ground, another phoenix's cry sounded, and a gigantic red lotus made of flames gradually bloomed.

A powerful Crimson Lotus Phoenix Flame emerged as the red lotus bloomed. That flame was so incredibly powerful that it almost engulfed most of the Lin clan in an instant.

Countless Lin clan cultivators' expressions changed as they quickly dodged the Phoenix's Flame. Those who could not evade in time were trying to resist the flames by consuming the fire-proofing pill.

However, the situation was unlike at the Thousand Flame Valley back then, when the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame was not in anyone's control. Hence, consuming the fire-proofing pill was still somewhat helpful.

Now that the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame had combined with the Phoenix's Flame, the power unleashed was far more potent than before. It was beyond what a fire-proofing pill could handle.

For a moment, screams and cries were everywhere.

One by one, the Lin clan cultivators were set aflame by the Crimson Lotus Phoenix Flame. Their whole body and even their souls were all burned into ashes.

The spectating cultivators outside were stupefied as they watched.

"What a terrifying Phoenix's Flame. I can't believe it can even set alight one's sins and karma. This power is simply frightening."

"Every cultivator has taken a life before, but this power that sets alight one's sins and karma is too horrifying."

"Indeed."

"The Phoenix's Flame is already unparalleled as the Essence of All Flames. Now that it has the power of the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame, it has gotten even more scary and destructive."

The Crimson Lotus Phoenix Flame was a combination of the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame and the Phoenix's Flame. Hence, it did not exist in the Divine Fire List.

However, its power was comparable to the divine fires in the top ten.

"D*mn it. Quickly, activate the Thousand Manifestation Army!"

Seeing the Lin clan disciples being slaughtered mercilessly, Lin Zhaotian immediately yelled with a grim expression.

Then, the grounds of the Lin clan started trembling, and countless figures emerged. They were all combat puppets!

All of those combat puppets were comparable to a top-tier Heavenly Daoist Celestial, while some had the strength of a Half-Immortal. They numbered in tens of thousands, charging toward Chu Kuangren.

The combat puppets did not possess any soul, so they had no sins or karma. That was why they would not be affected by the Crimson Lotus Phoenix Flame's karma-burning properties.

However…

"Trying to stop me with combat puppets who aren't even Immortals? You guys truly are foolish." Chu Kuangren sneered.

He made a sword hand sign and slashed forth into the void. The Crimson Lotus Phoenix Flame immediately turned into a sword shadow, slicing all the combat puppets into pieces.

Although there were no sins and karma to burn, Chu Kuangren's attack was the real deal. The ordinary combat puppets were no match for the Phoenix's Flame attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another combat puppets were destroyed by Chu Kuangren.

"Great Buli Flame Formation!" Lin Zhaotian ordered.

Several Earthen Immortals immediately rushed toward Chu Kuangren with Lin Zhaotian. They all took a position each, activated their divine fire, and made an incomparably powerful formation. With that, all of the flame currents in the surroundings immediately gathered towards them.

Under the effects of the formation, Chu Kuangren could feel that his Phoenix's Flame was suppressed. On the other hand, the attack of Lin Zhaotian and others had gotten more powerful instead due to the strengthening effects of the flame currents.

"Divine Triple Flame Essence Pierce!"

"Flaming Sky Punch!"

Lin Zhaotian and the others activated their techniques and attacked Chu Kuangren with the help of the formation.

Chu Kuangren was not scared at all in the face of their attacks. He raised his hand, activated his Immortal Consciousness, merged them with his Immortal's Core energy, and unleashed his ultimate defensive technique once more!

"Ultimate Chasm of Convergence!"

Then, a vortex appeared around him, absorbing all of the incoming attacks into it, so none of the attacks could injure him. Following that, the Phoenix's Flame retracted from his body, and it was replaced by surges of Celestial Demon qi.

White flame, brimming with endless life, appeared in his left hand, and black flame filled with utter destruction in his right!

Chu Kuangren clasped his palms together, making a mysterious hand sign, and Yin Yang Life and Death intent emerged in the void to form a rotating Yin Yang symbol.

"Chaos Celestial Demon, Yin Yang Life and Death Symbol!"

With the appearance of the Life and Death symbol, the Great Buli Flame Formation started trembling violently. A few of the elders were directly hit, and the impact sent them flying with blood spitting out of their mouths. Their faces turned pale as they looked at Chu Kuangren with horror.

"What a powerful attack."

"Chu Kuangren is just too overpowered."

With the Great Buli Flame Formation destroyed, the elders of the Lin clan were all critically injured.

Only Lin Zhaotian alone was radiating with Immortal Sparks. On him, he had a golden armor that had Daoist patterns intertwining mysteriously on the surface, which seemed to emit a golden flame.

That armor had blocked most of the life and death intent for Lin Zhaotian.

"Oh, it's that defensive Heavenly Immortal Weapon," Chu Kuangren said indifferently.

"I'm still not done!"

Lin Zhaotian took out a pill and consumed it. The moment he swallowed it, his aura started increasing rapidly, pushing him closer to a Heavenly Immortal's level.

"Fire God Avatar!" Followed by his roar, divine fire rose into the sky as golden flames intertwined in the void. Just like that, a flaming giant manifested!

The flaming giant was as tall as the sky, and the surrounding terrain rumbled with its every movement. It was like a supreme god who was a master of flames!

"That Heavenly Immortal Weapon, the pill that rapidly increases one's power, that advanced avatar… It seems quite beneficial being in an ancient Immortal clan."

"However, if that's the best you've got, your defeat today is certain!" Chu Kuangren said apathetically.

The next instant, a surge of powerful energy fluctuation erupted from Chu Kuangren's body. As he sat in the void, he pointed a finger to the sky and pointed another to the ground, making a mysterious hand sign that emanated a never-before-seen poise of invincibility!

"In that case, let us fight avatar against avatar then. I shall let you taste the power of Papiyas, the Demonic Buddha!"
