297: one hand

Boom!

The sky roared and the earth trembled, stars sank and the moon shifted, and the blazing flames danced in the sky like mad serpents, stirring up endless winds and clouds.

Lin Yang used the ultimate manifestation of the Holy Body Divine Power to confront the true body of the flame demon, forming a vast ocean that clashed with the flames burning the sky, roaring like crashing waves against the shore.

The two behemoths fought from the heavens to the earth, shattering the clouds in all directions and sinking ten-thousand-zhang abysses, entangled in a bloody battle that shocked everyone's eyes.

This was an exceptionally terrifying opponent, one of the commanders of a strange race, whose strength was unfathomable, rarely meeting a match below the King Realm, forcing Lin Yang to face him with all his might.

"Kill!"

Lin Yang lightly shouted, his voice booming like thunder, causing the Void Realm in all directions to tremble incessantly. A Green Lotus flew out from his hand and rapidly expanded under everyone's gaze.

In an instant, it transformed into a Green Lotus Mountain, suppressing and striking the true body of the flame demon.

"Eternal Fall of the Blazing Sun!"

The Blood-Robed Old Man roared, and the next moment, the massive true body of the flame demon held up a Blood-Colored Great Sun with both hands, bursting forth with ten thousand zhang of light, piercing the heavens and the earth.

Following that, the Blood-Robed Old Man looked at Lin Yang and suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

"You like playing the hero, don't you? If so, this Venerable One will fulfill your beautiful dream today!"

The Blood-Robed Old Man laughed sinisterly, and then the Blood-Colored Great Sun in his hand was thrown out through the air.

However, after the Blood-Colored Great Sun left the Flame Demon's palm, it did not meet the descending Green Lotus Mountain. Instead, it smashed toward the Holy City below.

The Blood-Colored Great Sun was over ten thousand zhang wide, its flames blazing brightly, like a real sun falling, boundlessly terrifying.

Before the Great Sun even fell, the sturdy city walls showed signs of melting, and the people inside the city felt as if they had fallen into a Pill Furnace, the heat unbearable.

If this Blood-Colored Great Sun truly fell, at least half of the Holy Spirits within the Holy City would be killed or injured.

Hiss!

Just as the Mermaid Goddess and other high-level figures in the city were preparing to intervene and stop it, they saw a Blood-Colored Net cover them.

"Ah..."

As the great net descended, the expressions of all the high-level figures in the city changed drastically, and the spiritual power within their bodies quickly fell into a strange silence.

This was the Spirit-Binding Net, a tool specially developed by the Flame Demon Clan to target the natives of the Sea of All Things after they invaded it.

When the Spirit-Binding Net fell, even the Mermaid Goddess was greatly affected, with most of her cultivation being Sealed.

Under these circumstances, even if they combined their strength, they would be unable to reach the rapidly falling Blazing Sun.

"Didn't these ants call you Heavenly God Lord? Now that this Venerable One has Sealed their cultivation, let's see if you, this Heavenly God, are willing to protect them in this moment of crisis!"

At the same time, the Blood-Robed Old Man sneered repeatedly, then manipulated the Blood-Colored Great Sun to fall toward the city at an extremely fast speed.

"Ah..."

Inside the city, countless natives gazed at the Blazing Sun constantly approaching overhead, seemingly already smelling their own burning flesh. Their fearful faces were scorched red like branding irons by the fierce sun above.

"Heavenly God Lord! Please save us!"

Some cried out loudly in the face of the fear of death, but many were uncertain.

Because they had never met Lin Yang, and the vast majority had only just learned that such a young Heavenly God had arrived among them, they were fundamentally unsure whether Lin Yang would actually step in to help them.

"If you avoid it, these people will suffer heavy casualties, you know." The Blood-Robed Old Man continued to mock.

In his view, the possibility of Lin Yang being willing to waste power to rescue those ants below was negligible.

After all, the two were currently in a duel. If he shifted his focus to protecting the people below at this moment, it would undoubtedly forfeit a perfect Combat Opportunity and put himself in a passive position.

One must know that when experts exchange blows, victory or defeat often hinges on a single thought.

If he searched his heart, if his position and Lin Yang's were swapped, even if everyone in the city was completely wiped out by this Blazing Sun, he would not Divide his Soul or waste power.

However, upon hearing the Blood-Robed Old Man's words, Lin Yang sneered disdainfully, "Why bother with these despicable tricks? Whatever moves you have, just use them. I'll take them all!"

As his laughter ceased, Lin Yang flashed, appearing directly above the Holy City.

Facing the massive falling Blazing Sun, Lin Yang's expression was solemn as he slowly raised his right hand and pushed upward.

"Idiot!"

Seeing Lin Yang act so arrogantly, attempting to shake his Blood-Colored Blazing Sun with just one hand, the Blood-Robed Old Man immediately smirked, a look of mockery flashing in his eyes.

This was because the Blazing Sun contained the Flame Demon Clan's special Corrosive Flame Power, which was extremely corrosive. Once contaminated, even solid metal and stone would instantly turn into bloody water.

Yet, Lin Yang, right before him, dared to touch it with his hand. Wasn't this courting death?

"A young Heavenly God? Heh heh, you are still too young."

The Blood-Robed Old Man sneered internally, crossing his arms and waiting leisurely, ready to watch the miserable sight of Lin Yang's palm being corroded by the Blazing Sun and him screaming in pain later.

Under the expectant gaze of the Blood-Robed Old Man, Lin Yang's right hand slowly and accurately made contact with the descending Blazing Sun.

"Haha, he really didn't dodge it?! You junior, you are truly foolish! Next, prepare to cry out in agony from my Flame Demon Clan's Corrosive Flame Power!"

When the Blood-Robed Old Man saw Lin Yang contact the Blazing Sun, a look of delight flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Bang!"

However, the next moment, Lin Yang merely glanced at him indifferently, then pushed with a single hand. A strange power erupted, and in the next instant, he directly pushed the Blazing Sun out of the boundary, where it turned into a streak of meteor light and vanished into the depths of the Star River.

Afterwards, Lin Yang slowly lowered his head and looked at his palm.

In the fair palm, a dark red energy surged wildly like maggots attached to bone, seemingly trying to burrow into his body.

Seeing this, Lin Yang slowly clenched his hand, and immediately, the dark red energy exploded with a "bang," shattering completely.

Then, Lin Yang slowly opened his palm, which was fair as jade and spotless. The dark red energy had completely dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Immediately after, Lin Yang slightly tilted his head, looked at the Blood-Robed Old Man whose smile had abruptly frozen on his face, and said with a half-smile, "What did you just say? What Corrosive Flame Power?"

...

The Blood-Robed Old Man froze in place, his eyes wide, revealing intense disbelief.

"No! This is impossible! How can you be unharmed?"

The Blood-Robed Old Man shouted. He couldn't believe his eyes—the unique Corrosive Flame Power of the Flame Demon Clan was crushed bare-handed by this Mysterious Young Man?

"There is nothing impossible."

Lin Yang smiled faintly. Leaving aside the fact that his right hand was blessed by Holy Body Divine Power, just considering his Physical Body—his powerful Indestructible Eleventh Layer physique—those who could harm him below the Immortal King were few and far between.

Even if he allowed the Corrosive Flame Power to corrode him, it might not be able to harm him much.

"Your Flame Demon Clan doesn't even have an Immortal King. When you're out and about, don't be so self-important!"

Seeing the Blood-Robed Old Man's unsettled appearance, Lin Yang mocked him lightly.

"Immortal King! Immortal King! It's the Immortal King again!!!"

"Within the Strange Entity, our clan is constantly belittled and reduced to the bottom tier because we have no King presiding over us. Now that we are outside, we are still looked down upon by a junior because of this! This is outrageous!!!"

However, the Blood-Robed Old Man's reaction upon hearing this was unexpectedly extreme; he roared repeatedly, startling even Lin Yang.

"Just wait! The King of our clan is about to welcome rebirth in this realm!"

After a furious roar, the Blood-Robed Old Man charged madly toward Lin Yang.
