378: Chapter 378 Suppressing a Half-Step Golden Immortal with a Flick of the Finger!

"Kid, you dare kill my brother! I will skin you alive, pull out your tendons, and use your fat as oil for a sky lantern!"

Elder Tutian roared, his voice shaking the starry sky.

He clenched his withered palm and raised the ten-foot-long blood-colored demonic banner high.

"Blood-Transforming Demonic Might! Devour him!"

"Hualala—!"

Accompanied by Elder Tutian's frantic activation.

A thick, lava-like stream of blood-colored Devilish Qi, emitting a pungent stench and endless resentment, surged wildly out of the Blood-Transforming Demonic Banner like a bursting flood.

This Devilish Qi instantly expanded and diffused in the Void Realm, transforming into a massive blood cloud that blotted out the sky and completely shrouded tens of thousands of miles of the starry sky.

The blood cloud churned incessantly, as if a Shura Hell were hidden within.

"Wuwuwu..."

"Jiejiejie..."

Accompanied by hair-raising ghostly wails and wolf-like howls.

Countless blood demons with hideous faces, green skin, and fangs, dripping with corrosive slime, roared as they rushed out of the blood cloud.

They were densely packed in the thousands, like a plague of locusts, pouncing with bared fangs and claws toward Lu Yuan, who stood alone in the starry sky.

"Kid! My Blood-Transforming Demonic Banner was refined in the Nine Nether Netherworld Flame for tens of thousands of years using the Essence Blood and Souls of a million living beings!"

Standing atop the blood cloud like a demon god in control of death, Elder Tutian laughed arrogantly.

"This Devilish Qi contains the most vicious curses and corrosive power in heaven and earth! If even a sliver touches you, even with a Physical Body at the Peak Profound Immortal stage, your flesh and blood will dissolve into a puddle of pus in an instant, and your Primordial Spirit will be bitten and devoured by these million evil ghosts, never to be reincarnated!"

"Now die for me!"

Facing the overwhelming, terrifying blood cloud and the countless blood demons.

Inside the merchant ship's light barrier, Li Xingzhou and the guards were already pale with fright, their breathing coming to a standstill.

If even a tiny bit of an attack of this level touched them, their ship would likely suffer heavy damage.

However, Lu Yuan, who bore the brunt of it, not only didn't retreat a single step but instead made a puzzling move.

With a flick of his wrist, he actually put away the Law longsword that had slaughtered so many.

"Playing with fire? Playing with sinister things?"

Lu Yuan looked at the sky-covering sea of blood sweeping toward him, the cold sneer at the corner of his mouth deepening.

His gaze was like looking at a buffoon trying to show off his sword skills in front of Guan Gong.

"Old man, you've picked the wrong person."

Lu Yuan said indifferently, then slowly raised his right hand and gently snapped his long fingers in the Void Realm.

"Snap."

The crisp sound seemed insignificant amidst the roars of the blood demons.

But in the next moment.

"World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame, come forth!"

Along with Lu Yuan's clear shout.

"Boom—!"

A flame only the size of a fist, platinum in color and so pure it contained not a single trace of Impurities, appeared out of thin air at Lu Yuan's fingertip.

This flame did not have a violent high temperature that burned everything; instead, it exuded a supreme majesty that was Holy, vast, and purified all filth in the world!

The divine object ranked in the top three of the Heavenly Fire List—the World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame! This was a terrifying Heavenly Fire that Lu Yuan had brought all the way from the Lower Realm and continuously fed with various Heaven And Earth Treasures, and it had now evolved enough to burn through Immortal Dao Laws!

As soon as the platinum flame appeared, it flared up against the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a sea of platinum fire even larger and more brilliant than the blood cloud. Like a rising sun, it crashed violently into the sky-covering blood cloud with unstoppable momentum.

This World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame was originally the purest flame in heaven and earth, naturally the absolute nemesis of all sinister things, Evil Qi, and bloody light!

"Zizizi—!"

Like a red-hot iron thrown into ice water.

The Blood-Transforming Devilish Qi and blood cloud, which were claimed to be able to corrode a Profound Immortal's Physical Body, were like mice seeing a cat the moment they touched the platinum flame, meeting their natural enemy!

Under the Holy Light of the platinum flame, large swathes of the blood cloud were instantly evaporated and purified into void-like white smoke, making a crisp "chi chi" sound.

As for those blood demons that were originally baring their fangs and claws with extreme ferocity, they didn't even have time to let out a scream the moment they were touched by the flame.

Their bodies, condensed from resentment and Essence Blood, were like winter snow meeting a blazing sun, instantly melting and collapsing, turning directly into the most primitive ashes and scattering in the starry sky.

This was not an evenly matched collision at all; it was a one-sided slaughter and purification!

"How is this possible? My Blood-Transforming Devilish Qi... my million blood demons! They're actually being completely suppressed?"

Standing behind the blood cloud, Elder Tutian watched his proud trump card being burned away by more than half in just a few breaths, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground in shock.

The holy aura contained within the platinum flame caused even this Half-step Golden Immortal, who Cultivated a Demonic Technique, to feel waves of palpitations and burning pain in his Soul.

"What kind of ghost fire is this? This kid is strange! Retreat!"

Elder Tutian was also a decisive and ruthless character.

Seeing that things were going poorly, he immediately knew he had kicked a steel plate.

He frantically waved the Blood-Transforming Demonic Banner, wanting to pull back the remaining blood cloud to preserve the Magic Treasure's Origin, and then slip away.

But as for him wanting to leave, how could Lu Yuan give him the chance?

"Since you've brought it out, don't even think about taking it back."

Lu Yuan's cold voice echoed in the Void Realm.

With a wave of his hand, a majestic immortal power surged out.

"myriad things mother qi cauldron, suppress!"

"Dang—!"

An ancient and melodious ring of a cauldron, as if it could suppress all the heavens and ten thousand worlds, resonated from within Lu Yuan's body.

Immediately after, a simple and heavy giant cauldron with three legs and two ears, surrounded by countless Mysterious Yellow Primordial Qi and Chaos Laws, descended from the sky, carrying a terrifying weight that crushed the starry sky!

This half-immortal artifact-level myriad things mother qi cauldron, driven by Lu Yuan's current Late Stage Profound Immortal cultivation, had its power pushed to the limit.

It as an insurmountable primordial divine mountain, it smashed down with thunderous momentum, accurately and fiercely hitting the Blood-Transforming Demonic Banner that was trying to retreat.

A half-immortal artifact against a Low Grade Immortal Artifact! This was a crushing defeat without any suspense!

"Crack!"

A piercing sound of shattering echoed through this part of the starry sky.

That once-unbeatable Low Grade Immortal Artifact, the Blood-Transforming Demonic Banner, which had drunk the blood of countless experts, let out a shrill cry of mourning under this destructive strike.

The hard pole of the banner was smashed into seven or eight pieces, and a huge gash was torn into the banner's surface, which was covered in yin spirits, as countless vengeful souls wailed and fled.

The spiritual nature of the demonic banner was instantly severely damaged, and it fell toward the abyss, dim and lusterless.

"Puff—!"

The Magic Treasure was destroyed, and the backlash linked to his life force instantly arrived.

Elder Tutian's face turned as pale as golden paper, and he spat out a large mouthful of black Essence Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

The aura about him instantly withered, his eyes filled with the heartache of losing a precious treasure and a rage that was almost maddening.
