Chapter 442: Lin Fan Takes Action, Samadhi True Fire?!
Chapter 442: Lin Fan Takes Action, Samadhi True Fire?!
The elder frowned. He had a wide range of cultivation techniques at his disposal, and even if he didn't know some of them, he could still...
But what about formations?
He had prepared for this in advance.
If he clashed directly with the opponent, he might even force them into a state of self-imposed isolation! For example, the previous 'Sword Dao Duel'—the Sword Immortal used pure Sword Dao, but what about him?
Heaven Sword Annihilation Array!
He could use a formation alongside it...
Tsk!
Are you a Sword Immortal?
I'm here to slay Sword Immortals, so who do you think you are!
Not only will I defeat you, but I'll also force you into self-doubt!
Are you a Body Cultivator? I'll use my formation to condense the power of the world and enhance my punch, giving you a good beating!
Siege the city, but first, attack the mind!
But damn, you're surrounded by countless treasures...
How am I supposed to attack your mind?
No!!!
At this moment, it's not about attacking your mind. If I didn't have a big heart, I'd be the one getting mind-attacked!
Attack!
Imitate?
It seems like a duel between similar cultivation paths. That's impossible.
There's no choice but to clash head-on!
His face darkened, and with a wave of his hand, a large area of tattoos on his back lit up, releasing an astonishing amount of chaotic energy that surged towards the numerous Imperial Armaments summoned by Daoist Treasure.
Whoosh!
The chaotic energy didn't seem impressive at first glance.
However, it was incredibly powerful.
As the chaotic energy swept past, it only took an instant for the colors of the Imperial Armaments to fade, and the surrounding phenomena also disappeared.
Even their forward momentum slowed down.
Though they still managed to 'hit their target', the elder's defensive formations blocked them all!
A perfect defense!
Even for Daoist Treasure, this was heart-wrenching. He quickly recalled the Imperial Armaments and carefully inspected them.
Fortunately, he discovered that this chaotic energy wasn't a natural phenomenon but was artificially synthesized using later techniques. Its power wasn't overwhelming, and the Imperial Armaments were only temporarily suppressed. With some time, they could recover.
Otherwise, he might not be able to hold back his tears.
Even with his vast collection of treasures, he couldn't afford to have them treated this way! If the opponent used this chaotic energy a few more times, all his treasures would be ruined!
This wasn't just his worry; chaotic energy was genuinely terrifying.
Especially the primordial chaotic energy, which existed before the separation of heaven and earth, filled the entire world. During that time, everything existed in a state of chaos, and it was because of this that primordial chaotic energy could be called the mother energy of all things!
This energy...
Could decompose all things!
Though the Imperial Armaments were powerful, they couldn't withstand the invasion of primordial chaotic energy. Even if they weren't directly decomposed into chaotic energy, they would still be half-ruined!
Upon learning that it wasn't primordial chaotic energy, Daoist Treasure heaved a sigh of relief.
With a wave of his hand, he recalled the numerous Imperial Armaments he had summoned, and then waved again.
Whoosh!
Another large number of Imperial Armaments flew out, a diverse array of treasures, including some top-grade Dao Armaments.
The quantity...
Over a hundred!!!
"!!!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
The elder was no exception.
Lin Fan was also astonished.
"What a sight to behold!"
"No wonder you're called Daoist Treasure, with this many treasures, it's truly impressive!"
Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim.
Damn it!
This was indeed an impressive display!
But Daoist Treasure didn't rush in like a fool.
Though it wasn't primordial chaotic energy, any chaotic energy would still suppress treasures. If he recklessly attacked, it would be useless.
So, he slowly retreated, keeping a watchful eye on the elder.
At the same time...
They were all looking at Lin Fan.
"Friend, it's your turn."
Daoist Treasure spoke with a hint of pain. "We've all tried, but this old fellow has suppressed us. For now, the others can't lend a hand, so it's up to you to take him down."
"You sure have high expectations of me."
Lin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Indeed, it was his turn to take action.
If he hadn't intentionally delayed, he would have been the second one to act.
As for whether he could take down this elder...
Actually, Lin Fan did have a way! Whether it was Xiao Ling'er's Illusory Body or Gou Sheng's expertise in formations, they were worth a try.
However, at this moment, he didn't plan to use these methods.
Instead, he wanted to let the elder live a little longer so he could learn from him!
His right eye, filled with stars, glowed: "Then... I'll give it a shot."
"Immortal Fire Transformation!"
Boom!
Lin Fan unleashed the Immortal Fire Transformation, reaching the ninth transformation. Though his cultivation level didn't change, his aura and might increased by several dozen times!
"Destruction Fire Lotus!"
A super-compressed nuclear bomb!
The Destruction Fire Lotus was an enhanced version of the Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus!
Aside from requiring a significant improvement in controlling nine types of exotic flames and higher compression, it also needed a massive infusion of immortal energy!
The Destruction Fire Lotus was a technique that only a Ninth Realm cultivator could use.
"..."
Everyone stared at the dreamlike and ethereal fire lotus in Lin Fan's hand.
The elder, being the closest, had the clearest view, and at this moment, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
This thing...
Wasn't easy to deal with!
If it hit him directly, it would be hard to withstand. Even if he didn't die, he'd be severely injured.
"But..."
"Too young."
He was cautious but not flustered.
This attack was indeed powerful, but just a glance was enough to know it was not to be taken lightly. It definitely couldn't be 'taken head-on', but in his opinion, Lin Fan was too young and lacked experience.
Such a powerful move...
Shouldn't there be a feint? Even if you don't feint, at least hide a little!
Even if you can't hide, the logic is sound. There's nothing wrong with this approach.
At least show some restraint!
"..."
The young man, you actually dared to do this so blatantly...
How come?
As if I wouldn't know how powerful this move is, or that I wouldn't be prepared in advance?
Boom!
He raised his hand.
The area around him was already filled with his formations, but at this moment, they lit up, all defensive formations, including the 'Thorn Killing Array'!
This Thorn Killing Array is quite interesting.
In Lin Fan's eyes, it was a 'Reflective Armor Array' variant.
However, its effect was far superior to that of a typical Reflective Armor, which could only reflect fifty percent of the damage.
This formation...
Judging by its quality and the array master's skill, it was quite formidable. Some could even reflect one hundred and twelve percent, or even one hundred and fifteen percent!
"Impressive."
"But..."
"Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
Lin Fan saw through his opponent's intentions and couldn't help but laugh.
How could he possibly think of me as an inexperienced youngster? Even if I hadn't read countless novels, my mind is sharp enough to figure this out. Even without that, I've at least watched the 'Three Great Laborer Comics', and when that guy used the Spiral Hand Hidden Blade...
Right?
That guy knew about it, so why wouldn't I?
"Huff!"
The Destruction Fire Lotus was ready.
Lin Fan slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, a Destruction Fire Lotus, no larger than three inches, slowly spun and bloomed...
"It's time."
Lin Fan turned to the elder and raised his left hand, "Fire, come!"
Boom!
The space around him instantly trembled.
Then, nine different types of unusual flames soared into the sky, transforming the surrounding 'world' into a fiery realm in an instant! Especially the Crystal Flame!
Wherever it passed, the sound of crackling filled the air, and countless crystals formed.
The Void Demon Flame, Unextinguishable Devouring Flame, Demon Heart Mystic Fire, and others were equally impressive, each with their unique spectacle.
Soon, they transformed into nine differently colored fire dragons, each rushing towards the elder! A feint, right?
Here it comes!
Boom!
The nine fire dragons roared.
Each had a distinct color and form.
The most noticeable feature was their individual characteristics.
The nine roaring fire dragons shocked everyone present.
Unusual flames!
These things exist in every world.
The only differences are in their varieties and strengths.
Some cultivators have mastered the use of unusual flames, but most possess only one type.
After all, unusual flames are not accustomed to 'living together', and they might even fight each other! Having more doesn't necessarily increase one's combat power and might instead cause chaos due to the inability to control them.
But this Lin Fan...
He actually controls nine powerful unusual flames?!
Xu Wei Yi was astounded: "What?!"
"Crystal Flame, Void Demon Flame, Demon Heart Mystic Fire, Hundred Forge Divine Fire, Unextinguishable Devouring Flame, Heavenly Dragon Bone Fire, Crystal Purity Fire, Earth Core Demon Fire, Ice Spirit Cold Fire..."
"Wait! There's something off about the Earth Core Demon Fire. It looks like a combination of Earth Core Demon Fire and Sun Blaze Flame??"
"Nine unusual flames, that's fine!"
"But these nine unusual flames are supposed to be in the hands of Lin Fan's first disciple, Xiao Ling'er, right? That's why she became a Grand Master of the Dao of Pills at such a young age. How does Lin Fan have them too?!"
She was stunned!
This doesn't make sense!
What are unusual flames?
For a sacred land, they are not indispensable, but they are extraordinary. When used properly, they are truly remarkable!
Moreover, these flames... can they create clones?
However, facing Xu Wei Yi's astonishment and inquiry, Star Mother Gu could not provide an answer.
Of course, she was aware of this matter.
In fact, she knew even before Xu Wei Yi that Lin Fan could also wield unusual flames.
The most astonishing thing was that Lin Fan and Xiao Ling'er had used unusual flames simultaneously on more than one occasion! And they used the same types of flames.
Although Lin Fan kept it hidden, with the Sky Gazing Mirror in her possession, Star Mother Gu naturally saw everything clearly.
Therefore, she had long known about this issue and was well aware that it was not normal! It could even be called an impossible occurrence.
But it was indeed a fact!
However, it was impossible for her to explain it.
Who could provide a clear explanation? Therefore, all she could say was, "Lin Fan is a special person and cannot be judged by common sense."
Xu Wei Yi: "..."
She was clearly dissatisfied with this response.
However, she had no other explanation and could only nod in agreement.
What else could she do?
...
"Nine unusual flames, impressive."
Within the formation, the withered elder raised his eyebrows, "However, such an obvious feint is a bit disrespectful to an old man like me."
"True Fire Absolute Array, activate!"
The tattoos on his body lit up again, and he chuckled, "For your age, your skills are quite impressive. But compared to me, they are undoubtedly lacking."
"Roar!!!"
The nine dragons roared.
At that moment, the elder lifted his hand and pointed at the nine dragons.
Boom!
The tip of his finger instantly erupted with Tricolor Blazing Flame!
Boom!
The Tricolor Blazing Flame roared, twisting space wherever it passed.
Everyone who witnessed this scene paled.
"Triple Flame True Fire?!"
This thing...
It's not an ordinary flame!
It's a 'True Immortal Flame'!
In the Immortal Realm, it is a famous flame, and countless immortals have been burned to death by it.
This old fellow can actually control the Triple Flame True Fire with an array?
Lin Fan was also surprised and secretly regretted.
"It's actually the Triple Flame True Fire!"
"What a waste, the Triple Flame True Fire belongs to the category of 'Dao Fire', not unusual flames. Otherwise..."
"I'll make you pay for your arrogance!"
Unusual flames and Dao Fire are different.
Dao Fire, as the name suggests, is the fire of the Dao principles cultivated by cultivators. For Dao Fire to 'burn' and maintain a strong flame, the cultivator must continuously sustain it.
Otherwise, it's like a rootless tree, and once used, it's gone.
Unusual Fires are different.
Most of them are naturally nurtured, and the required nourishment is also unique. They can even automatically use the world's primal energy as 'fuel' and burn indefinitely unless extinguished by powerful forces.
The Triple Flame True Fire belongs to the Dao Fire, and even if stolen, it's a one-time product.
Moreover, the opponent's fire is created by an array, and it's inherently a one-time use. It might disappear after use, and there's nothing to steal.
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
As the Triple Flame True Fire erupted, beneath the sea of fire, the nine fire dragons were quickly suppressed. Although they could still roar and struggle, it was evident that they couldn't handle the Triple Flame True Fire.
Fortunately, this wasn't the true form of the Unusual Fire, but Lin Fan had merely borrowed their power.
However, if he directly used the true forms of the nine Unusual Fires, they wouldn't be suppressed by this rootless Triple Flame True Fire.
"Fortunately, I didn't plan to rely solely on the Unusual Fires to handle everything."
Lin Fan muttered.
He continued to draw with one hand.
The Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body condensed.
Only... one! Simultaneously, a divine petal blossomed, and an Immortal Petal Incarnation appeared.
Then, a Blood Sea Clone emerged from the distant Blood Sea and flew to Lin Fan's side.
"Huh?!"
The elder's gaze swept over these clones and incarnations, feeling puzzled.
If you want to fight, just fight! Why create so many clones and incarnations? Even if these cloning techniques have 60-70% of the original's combat power, does he think he can defeat himself with them?
Isn't this a joke? "Path Severing Art!"
Just as he was wondering, three clones and incarnations attacked simultaneously!
The Immortal Petal Incarnation's brow glowed, and its soul power gathered, slashing towards the elder! "Immortal Slayer Nine Swords, Sword Seven!"
The Blood Sea Clone held a hideous long sword condensed from blood, and with one slash, it unleashed the power of the Immortal Slayer, causing the surrounding void to shatter instantly. The array's defenses couldn't withstand it.
The Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body's eyes blazed, as if lightning was flashing within them, and with a lift of its hand, it unleashed the 'Black Hole Fist'! At the same time, Lin Fan's original body threw the Destruction Fire Lotus, which immediately flew towards the elder.
The elder frowned.
Three types of attacks came simultaneously.
For a moment, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
He realized that he had underestimated Lin Fan.
Although this young man was young, his methods were genuinely bizarre.
Each of these clones possessed 80% or even more of the original's combat power.
These methods, even he, had to handle with utmost caution.
Moreover, he noticed that Lin Fan's left eye flashed with red light, completely ignoring his various illusion arrays, and the right eye's shining stars were both bizarre and astonishing, making him feel as if he was being pierced through.
"This kid!!!"
Just as he was dealing with these attacks, he suddenly realized that Lin Fan's figure flickered and then disappeared!
"What?!"
"Behind?!"
He realized that Lin Fan had appeared behind him.
The originally thin body suddenly erupted with muscles, looking like a devilish muscle man!
"???"
This scene...
Left the Daoist Treasure in a daze: "Him???"
Knowing that the old man was skilled in these two paths, he still used these methods, wasn't he just asking for trouble?
The barbarian body cultivator and the Sword Immortal, who had briefly doubted their lives, were also stunned.
What a guy!
The elder was already twisted and bullying enough!
But you, young man, are even more outrageous!
Knowing that we are both body cultivators and have been defeated by him, you still send clones to deal with him using these methods?
This isn't just disrespecting him; it's disrespecting us! Damn!
They clearly saw and understood:
The methods of these clones and incarnations, in their 'professional' fields, were genuinely inferior to their own! So, wasn't this bullying?
The next scene left them all dumbfounded!
The elder felt Lin Fan's strength and the simultaneous eruption of attacks, making his scalp tingle.
The tattoos on his body lit up and then dimmed.
For a moment, he was overwhelmed!
If he were to transform the tattoos into an array, allowing it to borrow the power of the array, then he wouldn't have to worry too much.
But if he were to borrow the power of the array for himself...
He couldn't do that recklessly.
He couldn't borrow too many at once.
Otherwise, his body would explode!
His body couldn't handle it! Even if it did, the power would become chaotic.
In this critical moment, he chose to clash with Lin Fan's original body using 'body cultivation power.'
After all, the original should be stronger than the incarnation, right? As for that lotus...
Once he knocks the original body away, he can deal with it later! "Boom!"
Lin Fan didn't throw a punch.
The fist imprint was like a mountain, without any flashy moves, just sheer power! This power came from Qin Yu and the other disciples, the Devouring Heaven Demon Skill, and especially the Blood Sea!
With one punch, the heavens and earth shook! The elder slightly condensed his power, but he wasn't alarmed.
He borrowed the power of heaven and earth, clashing with Lin Fan.
It was just one punch, but even the powerful cultivators far away felt their eyes stung, their bodies trembled, and they heard a ringing in their ears.
However, the result was different from what he imagined.
Lin Fan wasn't knocked away; instead, he held his ground!
In the distant sky, the Blood Sea churned, and the waves rose tens of thousands of feet high.
One borrowed the power of heaven and earth through the array, and the other concentrated the power of the Blood Sea within himself...
You're empowered, and so am I.
Let's see who's stronger! "Get back!"
Lin Fan roared, forcing the elder to retreat.
"What?!"
The barbarian body cultivator's eyes widened in shock!
