Sensing the tense atmosphere, Wan Lianghan and Tang Fangming quickly stepped forward.
"Both of you, there's no need to rush," Tang Fangming said. "Since we're already here, let's sit down and talk. If each side takes a step back, this matter can still be resolved."
Before his words had even fallen, Lin Yan's aura erupted.
"..."
Everyone froze. Even Mo Lei was dumbfounded "No way? Why are you even more aggressive than me?"
Among Rank 6 Gu Immortals, probing each other with mortal killer moves before using Immortal Gu was an unspoken rule. This bastard skipped straight to an Immortal killer move.
Mo Lei's pupils shrank. His first instinct was to interrupt the killer move.
Then he sensed its aura. Forget it! There wasn't enough time. Without another thought, he frantically activated his defensive killer move.
Meanwhile, sensing the aura of two Immortal Gu, Wan Lianghan, Tang Fangming, and Sun Cu immediately retreated, widening the distance between themselves and the battlefield.
Behind Lin Yan, a brilliant crimson sun slowly rose.
He wore a twelve-tasseled crown, while a crimson-and-gold robe embroidered with countless flame patterns draped over his body. In one hand, he held a triangular red flame lamp, transforming into the Flame Sovereign.
Compared to ten days ago, the power of this killer move had reached an entirely new level. During this period, Lin Yan had integrated Fire Control Immortal Gu and Three-Flavour Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu into it.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yan attacked. A red beam shot straight toward Mo Lei.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Towering flames instantly erupted from Mo Lei's body. In the blink of an eye, he was completely engulfed by a sea of fire, and terrifying waves of heat swept across the battlefield.
"Damn it!"
Mo Lei's furious roar echoed from within the flames. As a Rank 7 Gu Immortal, his foundation was naturally profound. Rank 7 red date immortal essence was a hundred times more durable than Rank 6 green grape immortal essence, greatly slowing the burning effect of the Three Otherworldly Flame.
He reacted almost instantly. Although shocked and furious, he still had enough composure to retaliate. Without hesitation, he activated an Immortal killer move. Vast amounts of earth qi surged above his head, condensing into an acre-wide murky yellow auspicious cloud. Thick waves of dust poured down, covering his entire body and forcefully suppressing most of the flames burning on him.
Only then did Mo Lei raise his head and glare at Lin Yan. Gritting his teeth, he spat, "You're courting death!"
Lin Yan sneered and slammed his palm downward.
A colossal red handprint instantly descended, blotting out the sky. At the center of its palm, a dazzling fire lotus slowly revolved, like solidified multicolored flames. Crimson, gold, and scarlet light intertwined, giving it both a majestic and destructive aura.
This was no longer the original Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint.
During the past ten days, Lin Yan had completely integrated Crimson Virtue True Body, Raging Flames Engulfing the Body, and Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint into a single Immortal killer move. Crimson Virtue True Body served as the foundation, while the other two became different variations. Although they shared Fire Control Immortal Gu and Three Flavour Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu as their core, each variation displayed a completely different effect.
As a result, Lin Yan could maintain the enhancement of Crimson Virtue True Body while simultaneously unleashing Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint.
Although he had created this combined Immortal killer move only a few days ago, it still suffered from many flaws. It required nearly a thousand Gu worms, took a long time to activate, and consumed an enormous amount of immortal essence.
Fortunately, he had already finished making all the necessary preparations before the battle began.
Mo Lei's expression changed drastically. He only had time to activate an Earth Path defensive killer move. The murky yellow qi cloud above his head suddenly collapsed, and strands of heavy, condensed Profound Yellow Mother Qi poured down, enveloping his entire body.
Boom!
The Mystic Sun Myriad Flames Great Handprint descended with overwhelming force. A deafening explosion shook the heavens as Mo Lei was blasted straight into the ground. The colossal handprint, spanning several miles, exploded on impact, releasing towering waves of multicolored flames that swept across the battlefield.
Sun Cu, Tang Fangming, and even Wan Lianghan were left speechless.
"What terrifying power," Wan Lianghan thought. Lin Yan had only recently advanced to Rank 6, yet he had already created such a powerful Immortal killer move.
At the same time, It did not take Wan Lianghan long to understand Lin Yan's intentions. This strike was aimed not only at Mo Lei, but also at the negotiations themselves. By acting in front of all three Gu Immortals, Lin Yan had quietly tied the Wan Family and Tang Family to this matter. If the Mo Family wished to escalate the conflict later, they could no longer ignore the positions of the other two super forces.
A righteous cultivator... indeed.
