Chapter 382: Total Annihilation, Fear Grips the Crowd!
"AHHH!"
A bloodcurdling scream erupted from the mouths of Huo Yuan, Chen Ling, and Li Lei.
They could feel it—their bodies, their Yuan Power, even their souls were being devoured by the terrifying force descending upon them.
In the next moment, their bodies burst with a wave of black energy that blotted out the sky, filled with a sinister, evil aura that made the hearts of everyone on Heaven Thunder Island go cold.
"What is that black energy? It's terrifying!"
"Why does it look so much like the energy that came from the demonic corpse?"
"Aren't those three from Yuan Gate in the Eastern Xuan Region? Why would they have the same energy as a demon corpse?"
Even Liu Xiangxuan and the members of Xuan Heaven Palace were stunned and confused.
No one had answers.
The black energy swirling around the trio momentarily resisted the devouring power of Lin Fan's enormous gray-black palm.
SHUU!
Seizing the brief stalemate, the three transformed into shadows and shot out of the palm's range.
Lin Fan remained calm as he looked up at the trio, now visibly changed.
Their eyes were sunken, pupils dyed black and swirling with malevolent energy. Black lines like spiderwebs crept across their skin, giving them an eerie and terrifying appearance.
Their auras had changed too—now much darker, more savage, and… more powerful. They had reached the Great Completion of the Death Profound Realm.
The crowd on the island paled and instinctively backed away, putting as much distance as they could between themselves and the trio.
"This evil aura… are they becoming demonic corpses too?"
Someone in the crowd muttered in fear.
"Lin Fan… you've pushed us this far. You deserve death!"
Huo Yuan's voice was filled with venom. His twisted face stretched into a horrifying smile.
"All together!"
With a growl, the three launched their attack.
Three black beams of energy shot from their fingers, intertwining in midair and forming a black net that descended rapidly upon Lin Fan.
"You think this is enough to kill me?" Lin Fan shook his head slightly. His hands flew into motion, forming seals at lightning speed.
Suddenly, a wave of crimson flames burst from his body, so hot that the very space around him began to warp.
He raised one hand, and the fire rose with it, condensing above him into a thousand-foot burning sun that shot forward like a meteor.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As the fiery sun advanced, even the thunderclouds above the island shattered.
It collided violently with the descending black net—and exploded!
RUMBLE!
A sea of fire engulfed the sky above Heaven Thunder Island. Space itself twisted under the searing heat.
Zzzzt! Zzzzt!
The black net was burned away almost instantly under the might of the Flame Ancestral Symbol's power.
And the terrifying fireball continued on—charging straight toward the three.
"That's… the Flame Ancestral Symbol?! Impossible!"
The three turned pale. None of them expected Lin Fan to possess the Flame Ancestral Symbol's power.
Even the onlookers were stunned speechless.
"Wasn't there a rumor from the Heavenly Wind Sea saying Lin Fan was a disciple of Mo Luo, the Flame God Temple Master? Could it be true?!"
Liu Xiangxuan's expression flickered, her thoughts turning complicated.
"Retreat!"
Seeing the fireball closing in, Huo Yuan shouted, his voice shaking.
But—
"Prison of Space!"
Lin Fan sealed the surroundings with spatial power, trapping them inside a barrier they could not tear open.
They realized in horror… they couldn't escape.
BOOM!
The fireball swallowed them whole.
"AAAHHH!"
Their screams pierced the heavens as they burned inside the inferno.
"Lin Fan! Yuan Gate will never forgive you for this—!"
But their threats died with them.
The previous generation of Yuan Gate's "Three Little Kings"… were completely incinerated.
Lin Fan flicked his hand, and the sea of fire vanished. The sky returned to its normal hue.
The island was silent.
No one dared speak.
Everyone had seen it—the three had transformed, reaching the peak of the Death Profound Realm.
And even so, Lin Fan had crushed them effortlessly.
How strong was he now?
Many had secretly hoped the two sides would severely injure each other. But now… they buried those thoughts deep in their hearts.
"Big Brother Lin Fan, you're amazing!"
Mu Lingshan beamed, rushing up to him, her face full of admiration.
Lin Fan simply smiled and said nothing.
"Hehe, Brother Lin Fan, your strength is truly shocking. After today, your name will surely shake the entire Devil Chaos Sea."
Liu Xiangxuan flew over, smiling gracefully.
Lin Fan gave her a glance and said calmly,
"I don't care about fame. I just don't want anyone eyeing my things."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the island.
Not a single cultivator dared meet his eyes.
Satisfied, Lin Fan turned back.
"With your strength, Brother Lin Fan, you could easily enter the top ten of the Devil Chaos Sea's Rising Star Ranking," Liu Xiangxuan said with a smile.
"If you participate in the Thunder Challenge hosted by Flame God Temple, I'm sure you'd do quite well."
"Flame God Temple… Thunder Challenge?"
The moment he heard those words, Lin Fan's eyes flickered.
He remembered the plan Mo Luo had mentioned.
