The terrifying strength that Lin Ran suddenly burst out shocked everyone present.
Blood Axe Xiao Chen, who has activated the power of the clan emblem, has the strength of a five-star Douluo, but Lin Ran is able to forcefully fight against him. Such terrifying fighting power is truly terrifying.
However, Lin Ran's cry also awakened the shocked Gu Nanhai.
"General Lin has great strength and background, I'm here to help you!"
Gu Nanhai shouted loudly, and a clan pattern appeared between his eyebrows. He waved his hands, and a crystal light emerged.
"Emperor Seal Technique!"
"The Mountain-Splitting Seal! The Sea-Overturning Seal! The Earth-Covering Seal! The Sky-Annihilating Seal! The Ancient Emperor Seal!"
"Five seals superimposed! Emperor Seal Palm!"
Five palm prints overlapped each other, and a light print emerged.
On the surface of the light seal, a layer of strange crystals slowly spread out, then completely wrapped up the light seal and slammed down towards Xiao Chen!
"Great Sun Holy Sun Palm!"
Seeing how powerful Gu Nanhai was, Lin Ran did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand and used the Great Sun Holy Sun Palm.
The Bijing Palm Seal and the Emperor Seal whistled at the same time and landed fiercely on Blood Axe Xiao Chen, who was blasted away.
But after just a few breaths, Xiao Chen stood up again, with no visible wounds on his body!
Seeing this scene, everyone present gasped in shock.
The Emperor Seal Technique, when the five seals are combined, can completely rival the Heaven-level fighting skills, plus the Great Sun Holy Sun Palm, which is itself a real Heaven-level fighting skill.
The heavenly fighting skills of these two top Dou Shengs were actually unable to injure this demon fire puppet. Who is this guy? !
"He is Xiao Chen, Blood Axe Xiao Chen!"
Suddenly, Gu Nanhai seemed to have thought of something and growled.
Lin Ran turned his head and looked at Gu Nanhai who looked incredulous, and said, "Xiao Chen?"
"Xiao Chen..."
Hearing this name, the skinny man frowned and muttered to himself.
"Elder Gu, do you know this senior?" Xun'er also flashed over and asked in surprise.
"I don't know him, but I have seen this blood-colored axe in ancient books. In the past, the Xiao clan had a stunning person. His famous weapon was an extremely large blood-colored axe. This person was called Xiao Chen!"
Gu Nanhai stared at the skinny man and said, "Xiao Chen has amazing talent. He is Xiao Xuan's cousin, but he doesn't like to be restrained and has mood swings. Before he became famous, countless strong men died under his axe. But later he disappeared for no reason. No matter how hard the Xiao clan searched, they couldn't find him. I didn't expect that he would appear here."
"By the way, not long after he disappeared, there was news about the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire..." As if he remembered something, Gu Nanhai suddenly exclaimed.
"But here, he has escaped a great disaster of the Xiao clan. I just don't know whether he is a human or a ghost now."
"The Xiao Clan's Grand Festival..."
After hearing Gu Nanhai's voice, Xiao Chen's face showed some struggle, as if he was resisting something.
"He is resisting the control of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire."
Seeing this scene, Gu Nanhai was shocked and whispered.
In the field, Xiao Chen was leaning on a giant axe, his body shaking constantly, and faint milky white flames gradually emerged from the pores of his body.
Just as everyone was watching, Lin Ran's palm suddenly stroked his forehead, and the ball of light in his mind emitted a faint fluctuation at this moment.
The sudden movement of the ball of light startled Lin Ran, and he immediately sensed the subtle fluctuations silently. After a moment, his eyes suddenly flickered.
"Aran!"
Xun'er, who was standing by, couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when she saw Lin Ran pause and then suddenly raised his foot and walked towards Xiao Chen.
In response to her scream, Lin Ran just waved his hand, walked quickly to Xiao Chen's side, and slapped Xiao Chen's shoulder hard.
But when his palm was placed on him, Xiao Chen's trembling body stopped strangely, and the milky white flame that was about to burst out of his body also slowly dissipated.
"call"
Xiao Chen took a few deep breaths, and only raised his head after a moment. He looked at everyone present with a serious look, and said in a hoarse voice: "The clan emblem of the ancient clan... How is the Xiao clan now?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"The Xiao clan no longer exists."
Gu Nanhai pondered for a moment. The Xiao clan and the Gu clan were allies. It seemed that Xiao Chen had no idea what was happening outside. Then, he briefly recounted the situation of the Xiao clan at that time.
As Gu Nanhai spoke, Xiao Chen listened quietly, but his clenched fist slowly dripped with bright red blood. After a long time, he said with a trembling voice: "Even Brother Xiao Xuan has fallen."
"The Soul Clan is so strong that we have no way to stop them." Gu Nanhai sighed and said, "This is the Demon Fire Space. Senior Xiao Chen, can you take us to where the Demon Fire is?"
"You are no match for the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire." Xiao Chen shook his head, his voice still hoarse.
"There's no way to survive if we stay here." Lin Ran said calmly, and his voice attracted Xiao Chen's attention.
"You little fellow..."
His eyes fell on Lin Ran. After looking at him for a long time, he finally nodded, slowly stood up, and turned to walk towards the last palace door.
"Come with me."
"Follow me."
Lin Ran didn't say much, just waved his hand gently and followed. Afterwards, Gu Nanhai opened his mouth but didn't say anything, so he could only follow.
"Crunch!"
A group of people followed Xiao Chen silently, watching him slowly push open the huge door. Behind the huge door was a staircase that extended to the end. At the end of the staircase, a huge altar stone platform could be vaguely seen.
Looking at the altar stone platform at the end, Lin Ran smiled faintly, stepped onto the stone stairs first, and then walked towards the end step by step. Behind him, Xiao Chen, Xun'er and others hesitated for a moment, and quickly followed.
Everyone climbed the stone stairs silently. After about ten minutes, they finally reached the altar. Lin Ran looked up and saw a huge throne standing silently on the altar. On the throne, a figure in a white robe was sitting quietly. Wisps of milky white flames swirled around him, constantly changing into various images.
The figure in white robe just sat there quietly, without any aura emanating from him. However, in the eyes of Lin Ran and others, that figure looked so strange.
When everyone stepped onto the altar, the figure in the white robe finally opened his eyes slowly, and a smile that surprised everyone appeared on his handsome face.
"If you defeat me, you will get the origin of the demonic fire. Otherwise, you will stay here forever and become my fire slave." His voice was soft and kind, but when his voice was heard, it seemed as if even the entire space was shaking.
Gu Nanhai and the others looked solemn, but they felt a little frustrated. The man in front of them actually made them feel invincible!
"Huh."
The silence lasted for a moment, and Lin Ran finally let out a long breath. There was some fatigue on his face, and a low voice slowly sounded.
"Pure Lotus Demon Fire… It seems that you have obtained the inheritance of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. Otherwise, you would not be able to cultivate the Nightmare Sky Mist to this level. I have to admit that the illusion you created is more realistic than the ancient Bodhi tree. However, no matter how realistic the illusion is, it is still an illusion after all."
Lin Ran's low voice echoed quietly on the altar, and the gentle smile on the handsome man's face gradually solidified.
The smile on the handsome face of the white-robed man gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a strange coldness. He stared at Lin Ran with his eyes fixed. Although he did not speak, the space around him began to tremble violently like water waves.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Illusion?"
Xun'er and the others beside him were also startled by Lin Ran's words, and then they seemed to suddenly understand: "You said we are still in an illusion?"
"How could it be…"
Everyone present was stunned. In their perception, they were absolutely real, and there was no such thing as illusion!
"We are all real."
Lin Ran stared at the man in white robes and said softly, "But we are indeed trapped in an illusion. This is the most terrifying place in the Nightmare Sky Mist. If we continue to follow the arrangement of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, we will only sink deeper and deeper until we become its fire slaves. Even if we experience a great battle here and kill it, we will still remain in the illusion."
"So what you mean is that those fire slaves we met, including Xiao Chen... are all illusions?" Gu Nanhai frowned, but suddenly looked at Xiao Chen who was silent beside him, and said.
"There is truth in the falsehood, and falsehood in the truth. This is the terrifying part of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. Xiao Chen is not an illusion, he is also real." Lin Ran shook his head, looked at Xiao Chen, and said softly: "It's just that his mind is mostly controlled by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire."
Xun'er and the others looked at each other, then scanned the surroundings cautiously, but no matter how they investigated, they could not detect any fluctuations in the illusion.
"Back then, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was known as the strongest person closest to the Dou Emperor, but in the end, he was attacked by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and died."
"After his death, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire inherited his legacy, and the Nightmare Sky Mist is the famous skill of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. When the Demon Saint uses this trick, he can make millions of people in a city live in a fantasy for hundreds of years. The magical effect of this illusion is beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Lin Ran sighed lightly, and there was some surprise in his voice. This kind of illusion is terrifying just thinking about it. The Pure Lotus Demon Saint is worthy of the name Demon Saint.
"The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire in the past did not have this ability." Gu Nanhai said in a deep voice. No one had ever encountered such a difficult situation after the Demonic Fire was born several times before.
"A thousand years can change a lot of things. It can also allow the Pure Lotus Demon Fire to gradually learn all the methods of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. In a way, he can now be said to be an alternative "Pure Lotus Demon Saint"."
Lin Ran stared at the white-robed man whose face was becoming increasingly cold, and spoke softly.
"Why do you know so much about Nightmare Sky Mist?" The man in white robe on the throne finally spoke slowly in a somewhat eerie voice.
Lin Ran smiled but did not answer his question.
It was natural for him, who possessed the remaining map of the Demon Fire, to be able to control all of this, not to mention that before this, he already knew everything that would happen in the plot.
"During the past thousand years, it seems that you have been creating this illusion. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, you will win this time. I don't think anyone will be able to discover the clues here."
"But unfortunately."
The man in white robe stared at Lin Ran with cold and ruthless eyes. Wisps of milky white flames slowly spread out from his body. All of a sudden, a destructive high temperature gradually enveloped the space.
Seeing the white-robed man's momentum, Xun'er and the others' expressions changed slightly. They hurriedly gathered together with vigilant looks on their faces.
"Since it is an illusion, how can we break it? This guy gives us a very real feeling." Yao Chen whispered. He completely believed what Lin Ran said. They had fallen into an illusion, but the flames around the white-robed figure in front of them told them that if they were killed here, they would still die completely.
"No matter how realistic it is, an illusion is still an illusion. As long as you have a strong idea that he is strong, he will never be defeated. Here, his strength depends on what we think in our hearts." Lin Ran said in a low voice.
"court death!"
When Lin Ran finished speaking, the handsome face of the man in white robe finally changed drastically. With a roar, he moved his body and appeared above Lin Ran and others. He clenched his palms, and the milky white flame turned into a huge flaming spear. Then he swung his arm, and the spear tore through the space, bringing with it a smell of destruction, and shot fiercely at Lin Ran and others.
Under this destructive force, everyone's faces turned pale.
"Don't use your fighting spirit to defend yourself. Treat him as a useless dog in your heart. Otherwise, you will all die!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran shouted loudly like thunder.
The thunderous roar that rang in their ears made everyone's heart tremble violently. They did not care about Lin Ran's hilarious metaphor, and hurriedly suppressed the fear in their hearts. Then, they gritted their teeth and took all the fighting spirit into their bodies.
"Bang!"
A huge flaming spear dropped from the sky, and finally with a destructive force, it hit everyone's body fiercely. However, just when they thought their bodies would be severely injured, the flaming spear suddenly disappeared!
"Asshole!"
In the sky, a look of anger emerged on the handsome face of the man in white robe. His body actually became a little illusory at this moment. He did not expect that Lin Ran could find a way to weaken his strength so quickly.
"Nightmare illusion, broken!"
Lin Ran pointed with two fingers, and a stream of blood shot out from his fingertips. The blood quickly flowed along his fingertips, forming a strange blood symbol.
"Nightmare-Breaking Talisman? How could you do that?!"
Seeing the blood talisman, the man in white robe's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"go!"
Lin Ran ignored him and pointed his finger. The blood talisman shot out and finally stuck hard on the void in front of him.
All of a sudden, this piece of space began to fluctuate violently, and finally, in front of everyone's surprised gaze, it exploded with a bang!
