Chapter 598: Soul Fusion, Divine Fire Devours!
At this moment, Void Devouring Flame felt an inexplicable fear toward Wu Tian. Could he be the "successor" that Tuo She Ancient Emperor had chosen? Impossible! That old bastard had long vanished. If he had truly intended to leave behind a successor to absorb them, why would he have ever given them the opportunity to escape in the first place?
"No! There's no way! How could my Devouring Power lose to an unknown flame like yours?!"
The storm raging in Void Devouring Flame's heart drove him to madness. His pitch-black pupils lit up with ominous symbols, and in an instant, a dark rune manifested at his fingertip. He raised his hand and pointed at Wu Tian.
BOOM!
As Void Devouring Flame unleashed his attack, the heavens and earth trembled. Amidst the boundless darkness, an enormous black finger descended from the sky, engulfing half of the heavens.
It tore through space like a divine sword, piercing straight toward Wu Tian's ocean of nine-colored flames.
The very fabric of this world shattered under the overwhelming force of this strike!
Seeing Void Devouring Flame's hidden ace, Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly. As expected of the second-ranked existence on the Heavenly Flame Ranking his power was beyond description.
Faced with such a formidable opponent, rather than fear, Wu Tian felt an unprecedented surge of battle fervor.
His fiery ocean roared, and from its depths, a colossal palm imprint emerged, radiant with nine-colored brilliance.
At the same time, mysterious soul energy surged forth, intertwining with the palm. In that instant, an ancient and unfathomable voice echoed within Wu Tian's mind.
The divine radiance of the nine-colored palm shone even brighter. The clashing of these two incomprehensible forces drained the color from countless faces below.
A battle between two of the most powerful flames in the world
Black devouring finger versus blazing divine palm!
A moment later
Hiss… Hiss…
Instead of the expected explosion, an eerie sound filled the air. It was the sound of two opposing flames devouring and burning each other.
Sizzle!
The strange sound reverberated through the battlefield. Even with Wu Tian resisting, countless weaker cultivators immediately coughed up blood. Some were even instantly engulfed in flames, their bodies vanishing into nothingness.
Such terrifying energy
Whether Soul Hall members or Heavenly Court warriors all wore expressions of despair.
This battle had long exceeded anything they could comprehend.
At this point, they were nothing more than ants caught in the aftershocks of a clash between gods.
If not for Wu Tian's protective flames, most of them would have already perished. Only those at the Dou Venerate level or higher could barely hold their ground.
Even the Soul Hall's forces were growing desperate. None of them had expected this.
They had followed Soul Extinguishing Life to war.
They had witnessed the arrival of the legendary Void Devouring Flame.
They had thought themselves untouchable.
But now
They were being devoured.
And in the next instant
"Void Devouring Art: Soul Fusion!"
Void Devouring Flame, sensing that his finger attack was weakening, made a desperate gamble.
The reason the Soul Clan had thrived for so long…
Was him.
Every Soul Clan warrior carried a trace of his devouring essence.
And now
It was time for them to repay him.
A raspy, sinister voice echoed across the battlefield. Below, every Soul Hall warrior still engaged in battle suddenly froze.
A moment later
Black flames erupted from their chests!
Eyes widened in horror, but it was too late.
Screams of agony filled the air.
Soul Hall warriors ignited one by one, their bodies dissolving into flames.
Within mere seconds, hundreds of Soul Hall elites were reduced to nothingness, their souls merging with Void Devouring Flame.
Even the Soul Hall Elders, once thought to be untouchable, could not escape the fate of being devoured.
Dark flames coalesced in the sky, forming a sea of black fire.
At this moment, everyone on Wu Tian's side felt an unbearable chill crawl down their spines.
He had sacrificed his own men.
Void Devouring Flame had wiped out his entire army just to empower himself.
And it had worked.
In the next moment, that sea of black fire condensed into yet another massive, nightmarish black finger, this one even larger and more terrifying than before.
It descended straight toward Wu Tian!
The sky boiled with flames.
Wu Tian's expression finally grew serious. He had underestimated Void Devouring Flame's ruthlessness.
If he had known his opponent would sacrifice his own soldiers, he would have acted sooner.
At the same time, he knew
He could never resort to such methods himself.
He would only rely on his own strength.
And so
At the very instant that the colossal black finger shot toward him, Wu Tian suddenly retracted the protective flames surrounding his allies.
Instead, all of that energy condensed into a single crimson lotus, blooming before him.
The sheer beauty of the fire lotus left everyone breathless.
Was this his trump card?!
The fire lotus clashed with the black finger.
For a split second, time itself seemed to freeze.
Then
BOOM!
The black finger dimmed significantly, weakened by the devastating power of the lotus flame.
Yet, both sides were now equally drained.
Both Wu Tian and Void Devouring Flame were running out of energy.
Neither could afford to falter.
If one showed weakness they would be obliterated.
"Hmph!"
Void Devouring Flame sneered. "Your power is formidable, I'll grant you that. But your reliance on borrowed techniques won't last forever. How many more times can you stop me?"
As he spoke, his fingers twisted through the air.
Suddenly
The black finger transformed into a massive palm, slamming down upon Wu Tian!
"Self-righteous fool. Keep deluding yourself. If I can't devour even a mere fire spirit, how could I ever be worthy of my name?!"
Wu Tian's voice boomed across the battlefield:
"And you… are nothing but a fraud. If I can't incinerate you, what right do I have to be called Divine Fire?!"
Void Devouring Flame's eyes widened in shock.
Divine Fire?!
"Fiery Annihilation Art: Godflame Devours All!!!"
With an earth-shaking roar, Wu Tian unleashed his ultimate move.
The sky itself transformed into a raging inferno.
Shapes no longer mattered.
No more palms, fingers, or lotuses.
Only a boundless ocean of fire remained
A tsunami of flames surged forward, overwhelming the black void.
Void Devouring Flame's expression twisted in horror.
The once-proud devourer of worlds
Was now being devoured himself.
