163: You need to join forces to kill a peak Martial Emperor, but I alone am enough.

"Arrogant!" Chi Yan was the first who couldn't hold back. Flames shot up from all around him, transforming into nine hundred-foot-long fire dragons that circled and roared!

"Since you're in such a hurry to die—then I'll let you see what the true Law of Fire really is!"

"Ultimate Profound Truth of the Heaven-Burning Sea-Boiling Art!"

"Nine Dragons Burning the Heavens!!!"

BOOM!!!!!!

The nine fire dragons roared at the sky, each emitting an aura that could destroy heaven and earth. The Law of Fire on their bodies was so condensed it seemed physical, and the temperature was so high that even space melted and collapsed!

These weren't phantom images—they were nine "Law Fire Dragons" condensed by Chi Yan at the Minor Achievement stage of the Law of Fire!

Each one contained terrifying power capable of severely wounding a Late Stage Martial Emperor!

With nine dragons out at once, burning the heavens and boiling the seas, the power... approached that of a Peak Martial Emperor!

"Lin Fan! Watch as I burn your blood dry and refine your soul!" Chi Yan grinned hideously and shoved both hands forward!

The nine fire dragons, like nine falling suns, crashed down toward Lin Fan!

Wherever they passed, everything turned to ash, and the Laws wailed!

Facing this strike that could burn the heavens and the earth, a flicker of excitement flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.

"Now this is more like it."

Instead of retreating, he stepped forward, his right fist clenched tight!

Various Laws within his body began to operate simultaneously!

Devouring Law!

Law of Strength!

Earth element of the Five Elements Laws!

"Earth generates Gold, Gold generates Water, Water generates Wood—Wood overcomes Earth, Earth overcomes Water, Water overcomes Fire!"

"Five Elements Rotation—Great Formation of Mutual Generation and Inhibition!"

Buzz!!!!!!

A five-colored formation with a diameter of five zhang appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Fan!

Within the formation, the power of the Five Elements flowed frantically, generating and inhibiting each other, forming a perfect circular system!

The nine fire dragons crashed into the formation!

The first dragon's fire power was converted into Earth energy!

The second dragon's Earth energy was then converted into Gold energy!

The third dragon's Gold energy was converted into Water energy—and Water overcomes Fire!

The Five Elements rotated, endless and unceasing!

Chi Yan's flames, which were enough to incinerate all things, were actually forcibly converted, weakened, and neutralized by Lin Fan using the Dao of the Five Elements' mutual generation and inhibition!

When the ninth fire dragon crashed in!

The five-colored formation exploded violently!

But the nine fire dragons had also been greatly reduced in power, with only thirty percent of their might remaining!

"Now's the time!"

A sharp light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, and he threw a left hook!

"Law of Strength—Mountain Collapse!!!"

BOOM!!!!!!

The dark-gold fist energy, like a comet striking the moon, slammed heavily into the nine residual fire dragons!

Bang bang bang bang bang!

A series of explosive sounds rang out!

The nine fire dragons shattered inch by inch!

Chi Yan let out a muffled groan and staggered back three steps, his eyes full of disbelief: "You... you actually used the Dao of Five Elements Inhibition to break my Nine Dragons Burning the Heavens?!"

"Middle school chemistry taught that matter can be transformed into each other," Lin Fan said, shaking his fist. "Didn't your teacher tell you?"

Chi Yan: "...I'm a fucking Martial Emperor! Why would I learn middle school chemistry?!"

"And that's why you've suffered a loss," Lin Fan spread his hands. "Master math, physics, and chemistry, and you'll have nothing to fear anywhere in the world, understand?"

Chi Yan trembled with rage, about to fight again.

"Enough," Xuan Ming spoke, his voice cold. "Chi Yan, step back."

He looked at Lin Fan, a solemn expression appearing in his Yin-Yang Eyes for the first time.

"Five Elements Laws... You've actually Cultivated five types of Laws simultaneously and can even make them generate and inhibit each other, applying them to such an exquisite degree."

"Lin Fan, you truly are a monster."

"But..."

Xuan Ming took a step forward. The Taiji diagram behind him rotated slowly, the Yin-Yang fish swam, and the Qi of life and death permeated the air.

"Monsters also need to be ranked."

"And you are not yet qualified."

As his voice fell.

Xuan Ming's hands formed a seal, and the Taiji diagram behind him expanded frantically, covering half the sky in the blink of an eye!

The Yin-Yang fish rotated, life and death Qi alternated, and a terrifying aura that seemed capable of obliterating all things and resetting Reincarnation spread out!

"Yin-Yang Law—Reincarnation Life-Granting Seal!!!"

BOOM!!!!!!

A black-and-white handprint with a diameter of over a hundred zhang slowly emerged from the Taiji diagram!

Within the handprint was the supreme true meaning of life and death, Yin and Yang, Reincarnation and the afterlife!

The power of this strike... had already reached the limit of the Late Stage Martial Emperor!

It even touched the threshold of the 'Law of Reincarnation'!

This was Xuan Ming's famous ultimate technique—he had once used this seal to grind a Demon Race powerhouse at the Peak of the Late Stage Martial Emperor to death!

Facing this terrifying strike, Battle Intent boiled in Lin Fan's eyes.

"Good timing!"

He no longer held back, operating all the Laws in his body to their full capacity!

Devouring, Sword Dao, Space-Time, Strength, Five Elements—several types of Law power gathered frantically!

Although they hadn't fused yet, the simultaneous eruption of five Law prototypes had a power... that was already no less than any Law at Minor Achievement!

"Five Elements Rotation as the base!"

"Law of Strength as the bone!"

"Space-Time Law as the pulse!"

"Sword Dao Law as the edge!"

"Devouring Law as the soul!"

"Give me..."

"Forced Fusion!!!"

Lin Fan held his hands as if embracing something, and in his palms, a sphere of energy like the beginning of Chaos slowly condensed!

Lightning flashed and thunder roared on the surface of the sphere, while inside, the five Laws collided, tore, and attempted to fuse frantically. Though it wasn't perfect and could explode and backfire at any moment, the aura emitted by that sphere caused the expressions of Xuan Ming and the other three to change drastically!

"This... what is this?!" Ice Glass cried out in shock.

"Forcibly mixing five types of Laws?! Is he crazy?!" The Scholar snapped his folding fan shut, his eyes full of horror.

Xuan Ming's pupils shrank even more: "Impossible! At the Martial King Realm, how could his Physical Body withstand the forced Fusion of five Laws?!"

"Nothing is impossible."

Lin Fan grinned and shoved both hands forward!

"Chaos..."

"Prototype... Heaven Opening!!!"

BOOM!!!!!!

The greyish sphere and the black-and-white handprint collided violently!

There was no sound of explosion.

No shockwave.

Only a kind of... eerie silence, as if two completely different 'Daos' were annihilating and dissolving each other!

The Yin-Yang Law within the black-and-white handprint began to disintegrate the moment it touched the greyish sphere—but while disintegrating, it was also frantically wearing down the greyish sphere's energy!

Five breaths.

Ten breaths.

Fifteen breaths.

Cracks covered the surface of the greyish sphere!

The black-and-white handprint also began to turn illusory!

After twenty breaths... BANG!!!!

The greyish sphere exploded violently!

The black-and-white handprint also shattered along with it!

A tie?

No.

Xuan Ming staggered back seven steps, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. The light in his Yin-Yang Eyes dimmed by thirty percent, and his chest heaved violently.

Lin Fan stood where he was, the skin on his arms cracked and dripping with blood, but in his eyes... his Battle Intent was even stronger!

"Mid-stage Martial Emperor... nothing more than this."

Xuan Ming stared fixedly at Lin Fan, an emotion called 'wariness' appearing in his eyes for the first time.

"You... actually dared to forcibly fuse five Laws?! Aren't you afraid of the Law backfire causing your body to explode?!"

"Afraid?" Lin Fan laughed. "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come."

He wiped the blood from his arm, and the wounds healed rapidly under the effect of the Devouring Law.

"You think that because you've killed a Late Stage Martial Emperor and can kill a Peak Martial Emperor by joining forces, you're something special?"

"You're wrong."

Lin Fan took a step forward, and his aura, instead of weakening, became even more violent!

"A true powerhouse..."

"Never looks down on those with lower Realms just because their own Realm is high."

"Nor do they think they are invincible just because they've killed a few experts."

He raised his right hand, and within his palm, the five types of Law power began to gather once more!

"Because for a true powerhouse..."

"Killing enemies across Realms is as simple as eating and drinking."

"You need to join forces to kill a Peak Martial Emperor?"

"To kill you all..."

Lin Fan grinned, revealing blood-stained teeth:

"I alone am enough."

[Ding! Forcibly fusing five Laws and clashing across Realms with a Mid-stage Martial Emperor, prestige value +40,000!]
