Buzz!
Wang Chong felt his heart tremble, sensing an intense danger. It was a massive wave of pressure, choking the breath out of him.
“Not good!”
Wang Chong’s face fell. This was the first time he had felt so much danger from Khatabah’s fusion.
“Everyone, get back!” Wang Chong cried out, at the same time using the Greater Void Step to rush ahead, trying to stop whatever was happening from finishing. But it was too late. Khatabah had clearly been hiding this supreme move, drawing everyone close and having them drop their guard before finally unleashing it.
He had clearly made this plan with no intention of letting everyone escape.
“Ignite! Ignite! Ignite!”
Khatabah’s eyes gleamed with cruelty as he roared. Everyone had a bad feeling, but just as they were about to retreat, those six black suns—or, more accurately, moons—fiercely exploded.
The explosion of flames from the six black moons covered almost every available inch of space!
Swooshswooshswoosh!
An Sishun, Gao Xianzhi, and Abusi shuddered, and they were the first to be blown away. A split-second later, the Black Yin Ancestor, Myriad Ghost Ancestor, and Bone Devil Ancestor vomited blood as they were blasted back like ragdolls.
As for the strongest, Wang Zhongsi and Li Junxian, who had already entered the Subtle realm, while they did not vomit blood, they were still heavily injured.
In that moment, Khatabah had borrowed the strength of the moon god, fused it with the Ifrit’s power, and immediately altered the situation by heavily injuring his attackers.
“As I said! All of you will die! No one will escape!”
Khatabah’s cold voice resounded through the world as black flames leaped from his body and rumbled off in pursuit.
In their current condition, there was no way they could resist!
“Damn it!”
Wang Chong’s eyes turned red as he shot forward, Yin and Yang in his left and right hands while the sun and moon appeared around him. The winds howled as Wang Chong seized control of everything within tens of thousands of feet of him.
Whoosh!
An Sishun’s group was the first to be pulled, flying in an arc toward Wang Chong, and after that was the Black Yin Ancestor’s group.
Boom! Blazing black flames pursued, but simply by spreading apart his hands, Wang Chong altered the trajectory of the flames, causing them to miss Wang Chong by more than one hundred feet and vanish into the distance.
The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was a supreme art that excelled in discharging force, group battles, and even duels.
Even if Wang Chong couldn’t fight the Black Flame Ifrit by himself, it was enough that he could alter the trajectory of the flames.
Thud! Thud!
A few moments later, Song Yuanyi appeared behind Wang Chong and immediately sent Eternal Spring Stellar Energy, brimming with life energy, into the bodies of the others to treat their injuries.
“This is bad. These black flames are too tyrannical, and they seem to contain a special power that’s overpowering the trait of my Eternal Spring Mantra. My Eternal Spring Mantra can treat their injuries, but it will take time to treat the root of the problem!”
Song Yuanyi’s brows furrowed, worry in his eyes.
Only the power of the ancient moon god could be stronger than the Eternal Spring Mantra. Khatabah had mixed in too much of this power, and Song Yuanyi found it hard to deal with on short notice.
And while Song Yuanyi said that he could treat it, he needed time, but time was what they lacked the most. Khatabah was already coming.
Boom!
Another punch of raging flames, carrying enough force to shatter mountains, descended from the heavens. Having seen that long-distance attacks were ineffective, Khatabah stomped toward Wang Chong, shaking the ground.
Wang Chong quickly blinked away, dragging the others with him, but Khatabah was hot on his heels with another punch.
Clang!
Seeing that Khatabah was persistent with his punches, Wang Chong took out his sword and unleashed an energy sword that struck Khatabah’s body. Khatabah’s body trembled for a moment, his progress slowed, buying some time for Wang Chong to catch his breath.
“It’s no good! He’s too strong!”
“Despite attacking him for so long, we haven’t dealt any effective damage!”
“Those black flames are too hot! We can only attack from a distance.”
The group scattered, floating in the air as they stared worriedly at Khatabah’s savage flames.
Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, the Black Yin Ancestor, the Bone Devil Ancestor, Wang Zhongsi, Zhangchou Jianqiong… all these experts together, bringing together both sides of the martial arts world and the imperial court, represented almost the entire strength of the Central Plains.
Before this battle, no one would have believed that this sort of strength could be stopped.
But not only had Khatabah stopped them, he had completely suppressed them.
“Hmph, useless! No matter where you run, what tactics you employ, or how you try to expend my Stellar Energy… you cannot defeat me! I’ll end your delusions here and now!”
Khatabah’s voice echoed through the air as he raised a massive arm over his head. Boom! Space exploded as a vortex took form, and above this vortex was another world.
It was a golden world awash with majestic energy.
Rumble!
A massive beam of energy descended from the heavens, rumbling into the Ifrit’s body. The somewhat weakened Ifrit instantly swelled in power, recovering all of its lost Stellar Energy and reaching an even higher level.
Its aura could swallow the seas and flood the heavens. It was even more frightening and domineering than before!
Everyone, including Wang Chong, felt their hearts sink.
They could have slowly worn down the Ifrit through attrition, but now, the Black Flame Ifrit had Khatabah’s power. Once it ran out of energy, it could open a passage to the higher dimension of the Subtle realm and absorb energy. How could they fight against it in that situation?
Their hearts trembled and their faces paled.
None of them had imagined that they would face such a terrifying foe.
But at this moment, something surprising happened.
Thwish!
Perhaps because they were frightened by the Ifrit’s strength, several master archers suddenly fired their arrows at that pillar of energy.
In this chaotic battlefield covered in a sandstorm, any sort of large disturbance could draw the attacks of both sides. Ten-some arrows was far too common of a sight. But when lightning was crackling overhead, the ten-some arrows created a surprising chain reaction.
Boom!
In a blaze of light, at least three thick lightning bolts cracked down on the arrows, and then the lightning proceeded down the pillar of energy to strike the Black Flame Ifrit below.
The Ifrit did not have a physical body and feared no attacks. Not even Wang Chong’s Lightning Flash had been able to deal any substantial harm to the Ifrit.
But at this moment, no one except Wang Chong noticed that the Black Flame Ifrit’s body momentarily froze. It was extremely brief, less than one-tenth of a second, but Wang Chong noticed.
“Mm?”
Wang Chong’s heart thumped upon the discovery of this strange point.
In battles between experts, every second mattered, and even the smallest detail could influence the outcome. In Wang Chong’s eyes, this subtle change in Khatabah’s condition revealed a wealth of information. The Ifrit did not fear lightning, so why did the Black Flame Ifrit momentarily freeze?
Something’s up!
Bzzz! Wang Chong immediately entered the world of energy, and all the sand around him faded away.
Where Wang Chong was standing was a blazing black flame, its tyrannical energy drowning out everything around it. In these circumstances, Wang Chong could see nothing.
Moreover, after reaching the Subtle realm, Wang Chong had gradually begun to realize that Subtle realm experts had an exquisite and subtle control over energy, and attempting to find their flaws through the world of energy was extremely difficult.
Though he was rather surprised, he was not dejected. His eyes flashed as he activated his True World ability.
Wang Chong immediately noticed something different.
Deep in the Ifrit’s mind were three black items, radiating faint glows, their energy completely different from the Ifrit.
It’s the moon god’s power!
Wang Chong’s body trembled in realization.
What had created the reaction to the lightning was not Khatabah or the Ifrit, but the Moon God Tree and the Moon God’s Forbidden Ring.
Khatabah had fused these items into the Ifrit to create the even stronger Black Flame Ifrit, but these two items were both made of metal, and metal could easily attract lightning!
The momentary freeze had been caused by the lightning striking the Moon God Tree and Moon God’s Forbidden Ring in the Black Flame Ifrit’s body.
Buzz!
Upon understanding this, Wang Chong immediately had an idea.
“Junior Guardian, Li Junxian, lend me a hand!
“Your Highness King Song, Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, and Lord Zhangchou… hold Khatabah down while I find a way to deal with him!” Wang Chong called out.
