Chapter 58: The Great Fire Lotus Explosion

The pressure of the Third Level of the True Domain Realm was like a physical mountain.

Between Myriad Manifestations and True Domain, though separated by only a single Realm, there lay a chasm of difference in life levels and power control.

Wei Xuan stood in mid-air, his black robes fluttering without wind, looking down at Chen Chuan with indifferent eyes.

That gaze was like scrutinizing a slightly stronger ant.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi converged frantically.

In his palm, it condensed into a dark red energy orb emitting destructive fluctuations, with electric snakes slithering across its surface, making sizzling sounds.

"To be able to die under this Elder’s Soul-Eroding Hand is your honor."

Wei Xuan’s voice was icy, devoid of any emotion.

He didn’t take Chen Chuan seriously at all, intending to kill him in one strike and end this battle that, in his eyes, held no suspense.

Lin Yan and the surviving Alchemy Sect Disciples around him already wore cruel and satisfied smiles.

In their view, Chen Chuan’s daring to resist was already foolish; now, facing Elder Wei’s wrathful strike, his only end would be to be smashed to pieces.

"An ant trying to shake a tree, courting death!"

Lin Yan sneered, as if he could already see the scene of Chen Chuan being blasted into fragments and that strange white Spiritual Fire being claimed by himself.

Facing the Soul-Eroding Hand that could make an ordinary Peak Ninth Level Myriad Manifestations Realm Cultivator tremble with fear, Chen Chuan’s pupils contracted slightly, but the Battle Intent in his eyes burned like a raging fire.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward.

Boom!

He pushed his Chaos Divine Body to its limit; the blood and Qi within his body surged like a roaring river, with the faint sound of wind and thunder echoing out.

At this moment, he intended to use his own cultivation to clash head-on with the True Domain.

He suddenly thrust both palms forward, and the vast Myriad Manifestations Realm spiritual power within him poured out without reservation—not as scattered energy, but condensed like a solid substance.

A thick spiritual power barrier formed in front of him.

"Seeking death!"

Wei Xuan snorted coldly and flicked his finger.

The dark red energy orb fell like a falling star, slamming hard against the spiritual power barrier Chen Chuan had condensed.

Bang!

A deafening roar exploded, and violent energy ripples spread in a ring, scraping the ground three feet deep and instantly turning the surrounding gravel and withered wood into powder.

The ground beneath Chen Chuan’s feet cracked inch by inch; his clothes flapped violently from the airwaves, and his face instantly turned a shade paler.

However, his body only swayed slightly without retreating; that seemingly indestructible Soul-Eroding Hand was actually forcibly blocked by him.

Although the spiritual power barrier was covered in cracks, it did not completely shatter.

"What? That’s impossible!"

The smile on Lin Yan’s face froze instantly, replaced by deep shock and disbelief.

He asked himself, if it were him, he would have been at least heavily injured if not dead under that strike; it was absolutely impossible to clash head-on like this and only appear slightly strained.

In Wei Xuan’s eyes, which were usually as calm as an ancient well, a slight ripple appeared for the first time.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength in this strike, he had used seventy percent of his power, enough to instantly kill any Myriad Manifestations Realm Cultivator. How could this boy block it?

"This person is strange; he absolutely cannot be left alive." Lin Yan snapped out of it and shrieked, "Elder Wei, kill him quickly to avoid any more complications!"

Wei Xuan’s eyes sharpened, and he no longer held anything back.

His Third Level True Domain Realm cultivation erupted completely, and an Aura several times more terrifying than before soared into the sky, causing the wind and clouds to change color.

He formed hand seals, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged frantically, condensing behind him into a dark red Domain phantom, within which countless vengeful spirits seemed to be wailing.

"To be able to force me to use the power of the True Domain, you can be proud of yourself. Next, let’s see how you block this?"

Wei Xuan shouted low, his body turning into a bolt of black lightning, lunging straight at Chen Chuan with overwhelming killing intent.

This time, he would crush Chen Chuan with absolute power.

The pressure increased abruptly!

Chen Chuan felt as if the air around him had turned into a viscous swamp, making his movements sluggish.

He took a deep breath, knowing that with just his Myriad Manifestations Realm cultivation, it was already difficult to contend with Wei Xuan’s full effort.

Roar!

A faint dragon roar sounded from deep within his body.

In the next moment, a brilliant purple-gold light burst out from beneath his skin, and a domineering Bloodline pressure spread out.

A layer of fine and hard purple-gold dragon scales quickly covered Chen Chuan’s skin, shimmering with a metallic luster.

His pupils also turned into cold vertical slits, glowing with purple-gold light and filled with a sense of power.

"Is this the Dragon Clan Bloodline?"

Lin Yan cried out in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

The Dragon Clan was one of the top races in the world, and its Bloodline Power was incomparably formidable.

He never expected that this seemingly ordinary youth not only possessed a Spiritual Fire but also had such a precious Dragon Clan Bloodline.

Wei Xuan’s expression also changed completely, from initial indifference to surprise, and now to solemnity and even a hint of fear.

The secrets and potential within this boy were too terrifying.

If he were allowed to escape today, he would surely bring about the destruction of the Alchemy Sect in the future.

"Kill! He must be killed!"

The killing intent in Wei Xuan’s heart boiled to its Peak, his offensive becoming thirty percent more fierce as the dark red Domain pressed down on Chen Chuan like a canopy.

After activating the dragon blood, Chen Chuan’s strength and defensive power surged.

But facing Wei Xuan, who had a massive advantage in Realm, he still appeared to be struggling; every collision shook his blood and Qi, causing dragon scales to crack and seep blood.

"I can’t delay any longer!" Chen Chuan’s thoughts raced.

Buzz!

An even more ancient and vast Aura, seemingly originating from the beginning of heaven and earth, spread out from within Chen Chuan.

Behind him, a hazy phantom of Chaos appeared; within the phantom, a verdant, budding lotus seedling took root in the Chaos, swaying gently.

Although the lotus had not yet bloomed, it emitted a Dao charm that could purify everything and evolve all things.

Chaos Seed Green Lotus phenomenon!

The moment the phenomenon appeared, an invisible and massive pressure enveloped the entire field.

Lin Yan and the Alchemy Sect Disciples only felt their bodies grow heavy.

As if carrying a great mountain, the circulation of spiritual power in their bodies became sluggish and slow, their strength directly suppressed by more than thirty percent.

Even Wei Xuan felt his True Domain being strongly repelled and suppressed, its operation no longer smooth and natural.

"Is this the Chaos Seed Green Lotus? He is the legendary Chaos Divine Body!"

Wei Xuan finally recognized this eternally rare Physique, his voice trembling slightly with fear.

The Chaos Divine Body, upon reaching Major Achievement, could sweep across an era and be invincible under heaven.

"All together, kill him for me!"

Lin Yan was so terrified that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, shrieking in a shrill voice.

An enemy with the Chaos Divine Body must never be allowed to leave alive.

Instantly, everyone lunged toward Chen Chuan to kill him.

Facing this certain-death situation, a look of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Chuan’s eyes.

He knew that with his current means, it was impossible to simultaneously deal with the siege of so many people, especially with a True Domain Realm Wei Xuan present.

With a thought, the black and white fire lotus in a state of balance within his Dantian Qi Sea trembled slightly.

Chen Chuan held his hands in front of his chest; in his left palm, the pure white and holy Pure Karma Sacred Fire rose.

In his right palm, the dark and cold Nine Nether Soul Devouring Flame burned silently.

"He... what is he trying to do?"

Seeing Chen Chuan summon two types of Spiritual Fire with completely opposite attributes at the same time, Lin Yan’s pupils shrank.

"Madman! Controlling two types of Spiritual Fire at once is already extremely difficult; could he be planning to...?"

Wei Xuan also saw Chen Chuan’s intention, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on his face.

Under everyone’s disbelieving gazes, Chen Chuan slowly brought his hands together, forcibly compressing and fusing the most Yang and holy white flame with the most Yin and evil black flame.

Boom!

The moment the two fires touched, an extremely violent turbulence of energy erupted, as if it would explode in the next instant.

Lin Yan and the others retreated repeatedly in fear, all believing that Chen Chuan was seeking his own destruction.

However, Chen Chuan’s face remained calm as a mysterious harmonizing power enveloped the two Spiritual Fires.

Under the influence of that power, the two flames that were originally in sharp conflict finally stabilized.

A perfect fire lotus, about the size of a washbasin, with black and white petals intermingled and a lotus heart shimmering with Chaos light, appeared in Chen Chuan’s hands.

The fire lotus rotated slowly; with every turn, the surrounding space rippled, and a destructive fluctuation that could freeze the Soul spread out like a tide.

That fluctuation made even a True Domain Realm expert like Wei Xuan feel his scalp go numb.

"Retreat quickly!"

Wei Xuan roared hoarsely, no longer caring about attacking as his body retreated violently.

"Too late."

A cold arc curved at the corner of Chen Chuan’s mouth as he thrust his hands forward.

"Go!"

That Chaos Flame Lotus containing destructive power turned into a streak of intermingled black and white light, shooting toward the center where Wei Xuan, Lin Yan, and the others were gathered at a speed faster than lightning.

"No!" Lin Yan let out a desperate scream.

Wei Xuan’s eyes were nearly bursting as he contracted his True Domain to the limit to protect himself while frantically retreating.

However, all struggles were in vain.

The moment the fire lotus touched the ground, time seemed to stand still for a heartbeat.

Immediately after—

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

A terrifying explosion that defied description erupted.

Destructive energy of black and white swept in all directions like a tsunami, swallowing everything.

The blinding light caused instant blindness, and the terrifying alternating extreme heat and cold melted and then froze the earth.

At the core of the explosion, a massive charred crater over five hundred meters in diameter appeared, the soil and rocks at the edges showing a glazed texture.

Within a thousand-meter radius, all trees, weeds, and even those Alchemy Sect Disciples who had just been besieging Chen Chuan were turned to ash in an instant, as if they had never existed.

After a long time, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

At the edge of the giant pit, two charred figures lay there, breathing their last—it was Wei Xuan and Lin Yan, who had barely managed to keep their lives thanks to their cultivation and treasures.

But at this moment, their Meridians were completely shattered, and their cultivation was half-ruined; they were like two dead dogs.

Chen Chuan’s figure drifted over from a distance; his face was pale and his Aura somewhat withered—condensing and detonating that Chaos Flame Lotus had taken a massive toll on him.

He walked up to the two of them, his eyes cold.

"Don’t, don’t kill me, my father is the Sect Master of the Alchemy Sect..."

Lin Yan’s eyes were filled with endless fear and pleading.

Wei Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Chuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and two sharp finger winds swept past, ending their lives.

After doing all this, Chen Chuan quickly stripped the Storage Rings from these people; with a rough sweep of his Divine Sense, a satisfied smile appeared on his pale face.

Inside the Storage Rings, the gold tickets were roughly estimated to exceed twenty million.

There was a dazzling array of various grades of Medicinal Pills, including two Grade Six Medicinal Pills emitting vast medicinal power.

Among them was a Spiritual Plant that was crimson all over like blood, shaped like a dragon, and emitting a scorching blood-and-Qi power—the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Grass.

This was precisely the main ingredient for refining Dragon Blood Pills, which would be of great benefit for further activating his Primordial Purple Radiance Ancestral Dragon Bloodline.

"Killing and arson bring a golden belt. The ancients truly did not deceive me."

Chen Chuan chuckled and put away these spoils of war.

This trip to the Ten Thousand Burials Abyss had not only successfully fused the second type of Spiritual Fire and greatly increased his strength, but he had also made a fortune; it could be said to be a bountiful harvest.

He no longer stayed; with a move of his body, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and quickly disappeared toward the horizon.

Leaving behind only the devastated charred earth, telling the tale of the earth-shaking battle that had just occurred.
