202: Thousands upon thousands of fake fire sprites!

Blazing Flame was about to strike.

However, Lu Yuan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

He didn't even turn his head.

Facing the fatal sneak attack, he calmly threw a punch backward.

He didn't use any cards.

There wasn't even an earth-shattering momentum.

It was just a simple punch.

But on his fist, a wisp of extreme frost-white and a wisp of scorching crimson-gold suddenly lit up!

"Frost Flame Power"!

"Crack!"

The fist collided violently with the sharp claws of the Flame Crystal Guardian Beast.

A crisp shattering sound rang out.

The crystalline claws, strong enough to tear apart alloy, shattered inch by inch under Lu Yuan's fist like fragile glass!

Terrifying force, unstoppable!

Don't forget! Lu Yuan now possessed a Source Power sea comparable to a mid-sixth-tier!

Ice and fire, two completely opposite forces, simultaneously poured into the Flame Crystal Guardian Beast's body in an instant!

"Bang!"

The Flame Crystal Guardian Beast let out a mournful cry, flying backward and crashing heavily against a distant rock wall, creating a human-shaped dent in the hard rock.

It struggled to get up, but a layer of eerie frost suddenly appeared on its body, while raging flames ignited within it.

Under the combined assault of ice and fire, its internal energy structure instantly collapsed.

The flame core located at its core couldn't even last a second before it exploded with a "bang," completely shattered by the violent dual forces of ice and fire!

Instant kill!

At the same time, a pure and majestic Source Power, following a mysterious connection, surged into Lu Yuan's limbs and bones.

Lu Yuan could clearly feel that the Source Power in his body was instantly filled, then slammed hard against the invisible barrier!

Third-tier nine-star, peak!

Only one step away from breaking through to the fourth-tier!

This scene made Blazing Flame's eyes almost pop out.

What did he see?

The King didn't use any cards!

Relying solely on his physical body, relying solely on that mysterious power he had never seen before, with one punch, he instantly killed a fifth-tier Flame Crystal Guardian Beast known for its defense and speed?!

This... how is this possible!

A monstrous wave surged in Blazing Flame's heart.

"The King's power... is far more unfathomable than I imagined!"

He originally thought that Lu Yuan's strength mainly came from the flame heart crown's blessing and the endless bizarre cards.

But now it seemed, he was gravely mistaken!

The King himself was a primordial beast in human skin!

That power, intertwined with ice and fire, contained nascent laws that made even him, a Seventh-Tier Venerable, feel a pang of dread!

Even some great figures in Sai'an Clan history did not possess such power at this stage!

"Roar!"

Under Blazing Flame's agitated emotional control, the Lava Troll also became more ferocious, smashing all the remaining Lava Blast Hounds into a pulp with a few punches and kicks.

"Let's go."

Lu Yuan ignored Blazing Flame's shock, flipping his wrist, the ancient sea shark war halberd was already in his hand.

A faint mist of water lingered around the dark blue halberd, forming a stark contrast with the scorching environment.

"You let your Troll lead the way."

"I'll handle these stragglers."

"I have a premonition, the fourth-tier! It's within reach."

"As you command, My King!"

The journey that followed took a sudden turn.

A dozen-meter-tall Lava Troll charged ahead, smashing any demonic beasts in its way flat with a single punch.

Behind the giant, a black-clad youth wielding an ice halberd walked as if strolling in a garden.

Any demonic beasts that ambushed from corners, no matter how fast or how well hidden, could not escape his lightning-fast halberd strike.

The cold halberd blade cut through, bringing not blood, but instantly frozen ice sculptures.

One man and one demon, one ferocious, one precise, one scorching, one freezing.

Like an extremely efficient bulldozer, they carved out a broad path through the perilous underground passage.

After an unknown amount of time.

The path ahead suddenly opened up again.

A massive underground space, hundreds of times larger than all the previous lava caves combined, appeared before them.

This place seemed to be the heart of the entire world.

Below was an endless ocean of lava, golden-red magma churning and boiling, occasionally bubbling up with giant bubbles.

And above that ocean of lava, countless fist-sized points of light floated densely.

Each point of light was a small figure burning with flames.

They had no fixed form, their bodies entirely composed of pure fire elements, sometimes coalescing, sometimes dissipating.

"This is..." Lu Yuan's pupils constricted slightly.

He couldn't feel any life from these small flame figures, only the purest, most primitive energy!

Not Source Power!

Blazing Flame spoke:

"Pseudo Fire Spirits! Hundreds, thousands... no! Tens of thousands!"

"They... they've gone mad!"

The moment his words fell.

As if receiving some command.

The tens of thousands of Pseudo Fire Spirits all turned their direction simultaneously, locking their targets on Lu Yuan and Blazing Flame.

They made no sound, simply transforming into streaks of light, charging forward fearlessly!

"Buzz—"

The hundreds of Pseudo Fire Spirits in the front row suddenly expanded when they approached within a hundred meters!

The next moment, they exploded with a roar!

Holy crap!

"Boom boom boom boom—!!!"

Hundreds of explosions rang out at the same time!

The terrifying explosions formed an overwhelming sea of fire, instantly engulfing the space in front of them!

The power was comparable to hundreds of high-tier cards detonating simultaneously!

Blazing Flame's face turned pale, and he cried out in alarm:

"King, Nickname! This is an elemental riot, they have no reason, they will only destroy everything!"

..."Boom—rumble—!!!"

The destructive firelight instantly swallowed all visibility.

A violent torrent of energy slammed heavily into the Lava Troll at the very front.

"Roar!"

Quantity is enough to cause a qualitative change!

The Troll was instantly sent flying.

It crossed its arms in front of itself, and the lava on its surface frantically circulated, condensing into a massive, incredibly thick shield.

The shockwaves of the explosion were continuous, one after another.

"Crack... crack..."

The lava shield, strong enough to withstand a full-power blow from a Seventh-Tier Venerable, was already covered in spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would completely shatter in the next second.

Blazing Flame's expression began to grow serious.

The Source Power in his body was being consumed at an unprecedented rate, used to maintain the Troll's existence and defense.

But the self-destructing Pseudo Fire Spirits were simply too numerous.

Endless, fearless.

At this rate, let alone him, a seventh-tier, even an Eighth-Tier Expert would probably be exhausted to death!

"King! Retreat quickly!"

Blazing Flame roared, a layer of blood-red flames beginning to burn on his aged body.

That was a sign of the Sai'an Clan burning their bloodline origin!

"This old servant will fight to the death to tear open a path of survival for you!"

He had already prepared for severe injury, ready to unleash a forbidden secret technique to forcefully clear this area.

Even if the cost was a regression in cultivation, or even a reduction in lifespan!

However, a hand gently pressed on his shoulder.

The hand was steady and strong.

"No need."
