Chapter 469: Severely Injuring Di Yuanzi
Above Yuan City, all eyes were fixated on Lin Langtian as the demonic black flames and crimson Vermilion Bird fire in his hands slowly approached the crystal orb.
At this moment, even the weaker disciples of Yuan Gate began feeling uneasy, their anxiety spreading throughout the city.
"Lin Langtian, what are you trying to do?!" Di Yuanzi, a powerful Wheel-Turning Realm expert, was first to sense the danger, immediately roaring out a warning with widened eyes.
Ignoring Di Yuanzi's shout, Lin Langtian's eyes, filled with icy killing intent, remained focused as the two terrifying flames finally touched the Great Flame Divine Orb.
Instantly, the space between his palms distorted violently, followed by low, thunderous booms that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
The Great Flame Divine Orb was originally a powerful divine technique of the Nine Netherworld Flame Sparrow Clan, formed by condensing Nine Nether flames. Lin Langtian had only managed to successfully create it through his bloodline link with Ling Yi, and under her careful guidance.
However, after creating this fearsome orb, Lin Langtian had an even more daring idea: to fuse the Chaos Demonic Flame and the Vermilion Bird's Sky-Burning Flame into it.
He believed the resulting destructive power would be unimaginable, capable of utterly obliterating even Di Yuanzi's crystal shield, which was secretly enhanced by demonic energy.
Within Lin Langtian's body, even Ling Yi was astonished by his boldness. Successfully condensing the Great Flame Divine Orb in such a short time was already surprising enough. She never expected Lin Langtian would attempt to combine two other powerful flames into it. His actions were reckless to the extreme.
"This young man is truly mad," Ling Yi murmured with furrowed brows. The Great Flame Divine Orb alone was already enough to severely injure a Wheel-Turning Realm expert. What terrifying force would result from merging it with two other immensely powerful flames?
Elsewhere, Di Yuanzi's expression became increasingly grim as he sensed the disturbance from Lin Langtian's palms. He clearly understood how devastating the combined flames and crystal orb could be. He immediately waved his hand, shouting angrily, "Life and Death Whip!"
As his voice echoed, immense life-and-death energy surged across the sky, swiftly condensing into a thousand-meter-long black and white whip that landed firmly in Di Yuanzi's hand. His gaze locked onto Lin Langtian, and with fierce determination, he swung the whip down with tremendous force.
The whip emitted a powerful ripple of reincarnation energy; a direct hit would obliterate even a peak Death Profound Realm expert.
Lin Langtian, watching the whip approach, narrowed his eyes coldly. With a slight flap of his Vermilion Bird wings, his body darted backward.
Even while retreating, the two flames in his hands began intertwining with the crystal orb, sending streams of black and crimson fire crackling outward. Occasionally, errant flames landed on massive structures below, instantly reducing the towering buildings into smoldering ash.
High above, Lin Langtian's silhouette weaved effortlessly through the sky, avoiding the deadly whip. Although Lin Langtian was entirely focused on merging the flames and couldn't fully engage in combat, his agility made it difficult for Di Yuanzi to land an effective blow. Additionally, Di Yuanzi hesitated to leave the protection of his crystal shield, fearful of the destructive orb forming in Lin Langtian's hands.
"Damned brat, scurrying like a rat!" Di Yuanzi's frustration grew evident, his eyes flashing viciously. He quickly shouted at the nearby Yuan Gate elders, "He can't afford distractions now—attack and destroy that fireball!"
Hearing Di Yuanzi's command, powerful figures like the Heaven Division Chief and Fen Cang exchanged glances before gritting their teeth and rushing toward Lin Langtian.
"Protect the Mansion Master!" Elder Liu Kun and Elder Yan immediately shouted, boldly intercepting Yuan Gate's elite. Their fierce clash triggered an eruption of intense battle energy.
Simultaneously, disciples from Heaven Mansion and Yuan Gate, driven by pent-up rage, surged forward like two massive tidal waves, violently colliding mid-air without hesitation.
Boom!
Chaotic streams of violent Yuan Power tore through the sky, turning the air thick with bloodlust. The heavens seemed dyed red by the battle below, creating a horrifying scene.
Spectators within Yuan City were dumbfounded by the brutal clash. No one ever imagined that Yuan Gate, the Eastern Xuan Region's most dominant sect, would be challenged so aggressively. Everyone realized that after this day, Heaven Mansion's reputation would soar, potentially making it the ninth super sect within the region.
Suddenly, someone below shouted urgently, "Look! Lin Langtian has merged the Chaos Demonic Flame and Vermilion Bird's Sky-Burning Flame completely into the crystal orb!"
Indeed, the crystal orb in Lin Langtian's hand now vibrated violently, crackling with streaks of black and red fire, as if something terrifyingly alive was about to burst free.
"We should retreat! It's clearly dangerous!" Spectators within Yuan City murmured nervously, instinctively backing away from the battlefield.
Aware of the orb's terrifying power, Lin Langtian shouted, "Everyone from Heaven Mansion, fall back immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Liu Kun and the others swiftly retreated, directing all Heaven Mansion disciples to withdraw. Observers from Yuan City knew Lin Langtian wasn't retreating out of fear; he simply wanted to protect his followers from the orb's destructive aftermath.
Realizing Lin Langtian's intent, everyone in Yuan City also hurriedly scattered, understanding the destructive potential of the crystal orb could turn the entire city into a sea of fire.
"Damned brat! Where does he get such confidence?" Di Yuanzi cursed anxiously, quickly retreating into the safety of his crystal shield, clearly sensing the imminent threat.
"Yuan Gate disciples, retreat!" Di Yuanzi urgently commanded, aware that no number of lives could block this devastating strike.
Relieved, the Yuan Gate experts quickly retreated, abandoning the battlefield to avoid annihilation.
As the Heaven Mansion forces reached safety, Lin Langtian finally exhaled, locking his gaze onto Di Yuanzi's crystal shield below, eyes turning ice-cold.
Sensing Lin Langtian's intent, Di Yuanzi trembled, sweat dripping down his pale face. He could feel the overpowering danger emanating from the crystal orb.
"New Great Flame Divine Orb!"
Lin Langtian's voice became deadly sharp as he raised his palm, calmly issuing a single command: "Go!"
Instantly, the crystal orb streaked across the sky like a blazing comet, directly impacting the immense crystal shield.
Boom!
Upon collision, a catastrophic explosion erupted, shattering even the fabric of space. Yuan City's sky transformed instantly into a blazing inferno. Massive waves of fire cascaded outward, obliterating everything in their path.
The city trembled violently as buildings crumbled, and vast cracks spread like spider webs. Countless structures vanished in flames, leaving the once-prosperous Yuan City nothing but smoldering ruins. Screams of pain echoed from Yuan Gate disciples caught unprepared.
The crystal shield held momentarily, absorbing most of the destructive force, but cracks quickly appeared, spreading rapidly until, with a deafening crash, it exploded violently.
Di Yuanzi emerged from the shattered shield, utterly defeated. His body was bloodied, his aura incredibly weak, barely clinging to consciousness.
Lin Langtian himself looked pale, hands scorched and blackened. Only the giant black bird had protected him from serious harm.
Witnessing Di Yuanzi's pitiful state, silence fell upon the battlefield. The outcome was clear to all—Di Yuanzi, one of Yuan Gate's formidable leaders, had been decisively defeated by Lin Langtian's devastating strike.
This battle would undoubtedly resonate throughout the entire Eastern Xuan Region, solidifying Heaven Mansion's place among the super sects and marking the rise of an unstoppable new power.
