Chapter 378: Ch 378: Battle
Got the wrong person?
Haang and Roro exchanged a glance and heaved a breath of relief. As long as Alex was not that genius, they were confident in taking him down.
What the two of them didn't know was that although Alex was not the genius in their mind, he was far more dangerous than they could have ever imagined.
Alex looked at them and without a word, he summoned his Lawful Spirit, the Shadow Devouring Flame. He wanted to try this flame's power now that he had an opportunity. A flame appeared in his hand, flickering with a mix of shadowy darkness and blue fire.
Without hesitation, Alex released the Shadow Devouring Flame toward Haang and Roro. The flame shot out, moving like a living thing, wrapping itself around the two of them before they could even react.
"What is this?"
As soon as the flame touched them, Haang and Roro felt a searing, unbearable pain. It wasn't just their skin that was burning; it felt like the fire was devouring them from the inside out. The flame didn't just burn their bodies; it was eating away at their energy and their strength. The pain was unlike anything they had ever experienced. It was as if their very existence was being consumed.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"Arghhh~"
Haang and Roro screamed in agony. Their cries echoed through the area, filled with terror and desperation. They tried to fight back, but the more they struggled, the more the flame seemed to tighten its grip, even feeding off their fear and pain.
"This is terrible!"
For a moment, even Alex felt he couldn't bear to watch any longer. It would have been better if he had beaten Haang and Roro to the brink of death. If they had been too weak to struggle, the flames would have devoured them in the shortest time possible.
However, their struggle only intensified their suffering. Their struggle to live was what made their suffering even more agonizing
Their bodies began to wither, shrinking as the Shadow Devouring Flame drained them of their life force. The once strong and confident warriors were now reduced to nothing more ashes that soon dispersed in the air and returned to Alex's body.
It was also at this moment Alex felt pure energy filling his body. It is a pity this energy was not enough for a Spirit Martial God like him to level up.
Shaking his head, Alex looked at the distance and flew away.
.....
In another area somewhere inside the Blood Fiend Secret Realm, a black-robed youth could be seen disdainfully looking at crimson fruit in his hand, "I thought there would be some treasure in this secret realm, but it seems that it is nothing. My cultivation foundation is already very firm, and my combat strength has surpassed ordinary Extreme Stage Divine Lords. This fruit is useless to me.
However, if I take it back to the clan, I might be able to exchange it for other treasures. It's just that it's not that valuable, and I still need more."
Just as the black-robed youth was about to leave, he seemed to have discovered something. He turned and said coldly to the space behind him, "Since you are here, come out. Do you really think that I can't find you?"
When he said that, the space behind him started to distort.
As the space distorted, an old man stepped out.
"The younger generation of ancient clans are indeed fearsome. Other than the Silver Flame Divine Lord, you are the second person I am unable to see through," the old man said slowly as he stared at the black-robed youth.
A light flashed in the black-robed youth's eyes. He said, "It seems that you have exchanged blows with the Silver flame. If my guess is correct, you are the Wind Flame Divine Lord."
"It just so happens that I want to use you to practice my skills before I fight with the Silver Flame Divine Lord. I heard that you have lasted for quite a while in the hands of the Silver Flame Divine Lord, I wonder how long you can last under my hands."
The black-robed youth did not give the Wind Flame Divine Lord any chance to refuse. The lightning flashed like teleportation as it struck the Wind Flame Divine Lord.
"Sacred Lightning Sky Flash!"
A dazzling lightning bolt shot out, and the sky was filled with thunderous sounds.
The Wind Flame Divine Lord was forced back by the aftershock. His expression was grave. This black-robed youth's strength appeared to be stronger than his strength. Furthermore, he could also sense that the black-robed youth's strength was far more solid than other Divine Lords. Also, his body seemed to hide a terrifying power that had yet to be unleashed.
Taking a deep breath, the Wind Flame Divine Lord did not dare to be careless. The energy in his entire body surged fiercely.
"Burning Heavens Scarlet Flame!"
A dense fire rose from his body, rising in the sky before turning into fire clouds. This fire cloud covered the sky. The Blood Fiend Secret Realm was already filled with blood-colored light, and the formation of the fire cloud added another layer of heaviness to it.
One after another, pillars of fire shot out from the fire cloud, aiming at the black-clothed youth.
"Heh, interesting." The black-robed youth smiled. The violent power of lightning gathered in the black-robed youth's right hand. He raised his right hand high, and the lightning quickly condensed into a long spear.
"Heavenly Lightning Annihilation!"
The Lightning Spear emitted a terrifying destructive power. In an instant, it surged with flickering lightning and shot into the fire cloud, causing the flames in the sky to rage. A large sea of thunder and lightning spread out, replacing the fire cloud.
A Lightning Spear pierced through the fire cloud. Then, it suddenly flashed, and it actually appeared not far behind the Wind Flame Divine Lord. Moreover, it struck towards the old man at a speed that people could not react to.
"Crap!" The Wind Flame Divine Lord was shocked. This move was truly too terrifying, so much so that he did not dare to underestimate it.
"Wind Flame Protection!"
The two attributes of wind and flame turned into a shield to protect the Wind Flame Divine Lord. The instant the shield was formed, the Lightning Spear had already ruthlessly struck the shield.
The invincible impact and violent power of lightning caused the shield to emit a cracking sound. The Wind Flame Divine Lord did not hesitate to dodge and escape. In the next moment, the shield had already shattered.
The Lightning Spear pierced through the blood-red land, causing the land to explode. At the same time, a monstrous wave of shockwave spread in every direction.
Even the surface of the land far away could be seen flickering with lightning arcs.
"Wind Flame Crescent Slash!" After falling into a disadvantageous position twice, and almost being killed in one move, the Wind Flame Divine Lord broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately used the strongest move without any hesitation.
"This attack... It seems that there is indeed something worthy of praise about someone who can make a name for himself in the Clear Sky World. I have to take this attack of yours seriously." Seeing the Wind Flame Crescent Slash that was coming at him, the black-robed youth's body flashed with purple and red lightning bolts.
The lightning power surged out with his body and affected dozens of meters of land around him.
"Profound Lightning God Armor, condense!"
The purple and red lightning suddenly entered his body, causing purple and red patterns to spread everywhere. A purple and red armor slowly condensed and attached to the black-robed youth's body.
A sea of fire under the black-robed youth's feet.
"Profound Lightning God Armor? As expected of a member of the Profound Lightning Ancient Clan. This skill might have surpassed the Divine Grade." The Wind Flame Divine Lord exhaled deeply as he saw the Profound Lightning God Armor on the black-clothed youth's body.
"Indeed, as expected of an ancient clan!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed in the air that neither belonged to the black-clothed youth nor the old man with the title of Wind Flame Divine Lord.
Both of them stopped and looked into the sky and saw a young man standing about a thousand meters away in the sky, closely observing the black-clothed youth.
"Who are you?" The black-clothed youth frowned and asked.
"Boy, go away. This is not where a Celestial Phenomenon Stage brat like you should come!"
On the other hand, the Wind Flame Divine Lord coldly told the young man to go away. But his words caused a frown to appear on the black-clothed youth as he shook his head.
Both of them responded, but their response was different. The old man was underestimating the newcomer just because he was only a Celestial Phenomenon Stage warrior. On the other hand, the black-clothed youth did not dare to underestimate this newcomer and was on high alert. He seemed to have sensed or thought something which caused him to put up his guard to the highest.
