SKREEEEEE!
Under Fang Yan's control, the blood-red fire phoenix suddenly threw back its head and let out an earth-shaking cry.
Its sharp screech echoed thunderously across the sky.
Then, its massive wings folded inward, and its enormous body began to spin violently—like a colossal javelin hurtling through the air.
With a deafening whoosh, it shot toward Lin Feng like a streak of lightning.
The Sky Fire Phoenix moved with terrifying speed, so fast it seemed to tear open the very fabric of space.
In just a flicker, it appeared right in front of Lin Feng, closing the distance in an instant.
The sharp beak of the phoenix, coated in dense, blood-red flames, carried an aura of savage brutality as it aimed straight for him.
But facing the oncoming blood-colored phoenix, Lin Feng's lips curled into a victorious smile.
With a shift of his hand seal, the azure flames coiled around him began to surge wildly.
In the blink of an eye, a square-shaped fire net—dozens of meters wide—unfurled in front of him.
The phoenix, charging at full force, couldn't stop in time and crashed directly into the fire net.
Boom!
Immediately, the fire net contracted into a smooth, spherical shape, completely trapping the phoenix inside.
"Bind!"
Seeing Lin Feng's sudden move, a flash of unease flickered across Fang Yan's eyes. But he quickly suppressed it and barked a command.
SKREEEEE!
Receiving its master's order, the restrained phoenix let out a sharp cry and began to thrash violently.
At the same time, torrents of blood-red flames erupted from its body, fiercely burning against the azure fire net.
"Restrain!"
Seeing the phoenix attempting to break free, Lin Feng shouted coldly. The Green Lotus Core Flame within his body surged wildly, pouring into the fire net without end.
As the azure flames continuously reinforced the net, the blood-colored flames that had been trying to burn through were suddenly pushed back.
The moment they made contact with the azure flames, it was as if they had encountered their natural nemesis—they immediately recoiled in panic.
"Boss! That brat is trying to steal our Life Transforming Flame!"
Seeing this, the Second and Third Elders instantly realized what was happening and shouted in alarm.
Fang Yan's already pale face turned completely ashen.
As the one controlling the Sky Fire Phoenix, he could clearly sense that the phoenix was in grave danger of being seized by the other side.
In that moment, Lin Feng's earlier words suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Damn it! No wonder that brat started talking about Heavenly Flames from the beginning... He was eyeing our Life Transforming Flame from the start!"
Cursing silently, Fang Yan didn't dare delay any longer. He quickly shifted his hand seals and shouted, "Withdraw!"
As his voice rang out, the struggling blood-colored phoenix inside the fire net suddenly stopped moving.
Then, its body rapidly dispersed into countless specks of flame light, like stars scattered across the sky, surging toward the tiny gaps in the fire net in an attempt to escape.
"Heh... I've waited long enough. Now you want to run?"
Seeing this, Lin Feng let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his hand, the fire net flared brightly.
In an instant, all the tiny openings in the azure fire net were sealed by faint-blue flame threads, blocking the escaping flame particles completely.
With its escape path sealed, the blood-colored flames were forced back inside. The fire net began to shrink rapidly.
Within the span of a few blinks, it compressed into a fist-sized, hollow flame sphere.
Inside it, a dense cluster of blood-red flames was trapped—its slow flickers reminiscent of a caged bird.
Lin Feng casually raised his hand. The pale-blue flame sphere flew into his palm and hovered quietly there.
His gaze swept over the mass of blood-red flame inside the sphere, then calmly shifted toward Fang Yan and the other two.
Lin Feng chuckled softly and said teasingly, "Many thanks for the gift, you three. I'll gladly accept such a generous offering."
Hearing his words, Fang Yan and the other two looked utterly grim.
Sensing their Dou Qi level dropping rapidly, they understood one thing very clearly—
If they couldn't retrieve the Life Transforming Flame, their cultivation journey would end here.
Realizing this, they didn't hesitate. The three exchanged a swift glance, then each slammed a fist into their chest.
Under their forceful activation, a mouthful of Blood Essence spurted out once more, splashing over their palms.
As the thick blood coated their hands, each of them moved their palms, quickly forming a strange and complex seal.
"Reclaim!"
The instant the hand seals were completed, the three roared in unison—their voices echoing across the sky.
As their shout rang out, the blood-red flame trapped inside the hollow azure fireball in Lin Feng's hand suddenly flared up again.
It burned intensely, its flames twisting violently as it slammed repeatedly against the walls of the fireball—desperate to escape and return to its masters.
Feeling the sudden agitation from within, Lin Feng glanced at the azure fireball in his palm.
"You handed it over—what makes you think you can take it back?"
A cold sneer escaped his throat. The Fallen Heart Flame surged from his body, swiftly forming a thin membrane that wrapped tightly around the fireball.
The moment this protective membrane formed, Fang Yan and the others suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain in their minds—as if needles had pierced directly into their souls.
In the next instant, their connection to the Life Transforming Flame was completely severed.
Though the pain didn't cause them serious injuries, a chill surged through their hearts.
Even their final trump card had failed.
This meant the flame that Lin Feng held—their Life Transforming Flame—was now utterly beyond their grasp.
Worried that the Dou Qi within the flame would begin to dissipate, Lin Feng casually flicked his fingers.
Then, without hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the azure flame sphere whole.
"You—you're insane! You actually swallowed the Life Transforming Flame?!"
The three of them were stunned. Horror twisted across their faces.
Even though their control over the flame had been severed, its destructive power still remained.
Even their Valley Master would never dare to swallow such a volatile flame whole. If it exploded inside the body, the result would be instant death!
But Lin Feng looked utterly calm—unharmed, unshaken.
After all, he was protected by the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame, a Heavenly Flame on par with the Bone Chilling Flame.
These man-made Life Transforming Flames couldn't harm him at all.
More than that, the moment he swallowed the flame, he activated the other Heavenly Flame within him.
It instantly wrapped around the Life Transforming Flame, sealing it tightly—completely neutralizing any chance of it harming him.
After finishing this, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his gaze toward Fang Yan and the others, whose Dou Qi had now dropped to the level of early-stage Dou Huang.
Between the dramatic drop in their cultivation and the massive loss of Blood Essence, their actual strength now was barely equivalent to peak Dou Wang.
To Lin Feng, they were no threat at all—it would only take a moment to eliminate them.
His voice remained calm and steady:
"The flame duel is over. Now, allow me—as Pavilion Master—to personally send you three off to the afterlife."
"Bastard! If we're going to die, we're taking you with us!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Fang Yan snarled and glanced left and right.
"Second, Third—we fight him together!"
Without waiting for a response, Fang Yan gathered the last of his Dou Qi and charged toward Lin Feng.
The other two Elders gritted their teeth, and despite their drained states, forced out what little Dou Qi they had left and flew toward Lin Feng as well.
