Chapter 791: Abyssal Flames!

Although Elder Bai Jing did not hold much hope in his heart, since even Ye Wuhen had been defeated, Li Yun’s chance of victory was indeed extremely slim.

Even so, at this moment, he could only place his hopes on Li Yun and hope that this young disciple would continue to bring him surprises.

"Absolute Sword Path, Shen Mu..."

Li Yun’s expression remained indifferent.

He could sense that when Absolute Sword Path defeated Ye Wuhen, he had not used his full strength. The other party had still been holding back.

However, Li Yun had no goodwill toward the Supreme Heaven Sword Sect. Even without considering the Profound Origin Immortal Sect, he still wanted to defeat this opponent.

In the following matches, the Wine Monk, Luo Zhenting, and the others all achieved victory.

Soon, it was time for the third round of matches.

In this round, Li Yun’s opponent was Murong Lan from the Blazing Current Divine Eye Clan.

Speaking of which, among the Three Great Eye Cultivation Clans of the Northern Territory, the successors of two major clans had already been defeated by Li Yun. If he won this battle as well, then all three great clans would have been defeated at his hands.

Would Li Yun sweep through the Three Great Eye Cultivation Clans in one go, or would Murong Lan turn the tide and salvage the final shred of dignity for those three great clans?

"Li Yun, being able to defeat Luo Sheng and Xie Yanluo means I must admit that you are a formidable opponent."

Murong Lan was dressed in fiery red robes and looked like a blazing flame as he spoke. "I have a suggestion. To avoid wasting time in this battle, why do we not decide the outcome with a single move? What do you think?"

"Agreed."

Li Yun’s expression remained calm.

When cultivators who walked the Way of the Soul fought, the number of moves was meaningless.

If one could win, one would win.

If one could not win, one would not win.

It had nothing to do with how many moves were exchanged and depended only on strength.

"Good. Since that is the case, be careful."

Murong Lan shouted sharply.

Flames burned within his eyes and erupted violently.

"Heaven and Earth Flowing Fire."

Whoosh!

Endless flames surged out, directly pulling Li Yun into a soul space.

The blazing fire seemed intent on devouring his soul completely.

"Illusion-Extinguishing Sword Pupil."

Facing the overwhelming sea of fire, Li Yun showed no panic.

Within his eyes, an endless sea of swords flickered in and out of existence. Sword Qi howled, split heaven and earth, and directly cleaved through the clusters of flame.

"Slash."

He controlled the countless precious swords within the soul space, forming a colossal sword too vast to describe. It emitted powerful soul pressure as it slashed toward Murong Lan.

"You are definitely going to lose."

However, at this moment, a cold smile appeared on Murong Lan’s face.

A fiery red crystal suddenly appeared in his hand, and he immediately activated its power.

Boom!

Within the soul space, the blazing flames suddenly roared and became at least ten times more intense than before. They surged wildly and filled the entire space.

Not only that, but the terrifying flames also contained a bizarre force that seemed capable of directly corroding and burning the soul. It was sinister and eerie to the extreme.

"Abyssal Evil Flame."

"Murong Lan actually used something like this. This is too shameless."

This scene caused many people’s expressions to change, and quite a few cried out in shock.

The Abyssal Evil Flame was an extremely rare type of fire seed.

It only appeared in certain exceptionally special places and was famous for its eerie and powerful nature.

This fire seed could grant a cultivator ten times their normal fire-control ability for a short period. At the same time, the flames would gain an additional ability to corrode and burn the soul.

However, the cost of activating this fire seed was also extremely great.

The first activation required sacrificing ten years of life.

The second activation required twenty years.

The third activation required a full forty years of lifespan.

As for the fourth activation, it would not require eighty years. Instead, the user would be directly devoured by the fire seed and die on the spot.

"He is insane. Murong Lan is actually willing to sacrifice ten years of his life just to cripple Li Yun."

"Li Yun is truly in trouble now. In a normal fight, Murong Lan definitely would not be his match. But with the boost from the Abyssal Evil Flame, Li Yun is bound to lose. Moreover, whether he can even preserve his life is hard to say."

"Even if he survives, his soul power will greatly diminish under the burn of the Abyssal Evil Flame. Even if he is not completely crippled, his potential will be severely damaged, and it will likely become impossible for him to reach the peak of the martial path."

Upon realizing this, many people could not help gasping in shock.

What deciding the outcome with one move?

Murong Lan had clearly been scheming from the start, intending to cripple Li Yun on the arena.

This method was utterly despicable and shameless.

"Bastard."

Elder Bai Jing roared angrily.

His figure instantly appeared above the arena, clearly about to intervene and stop the battle from continuing.

"Brother Bai, this battle is not over yet, and that little fellow from your Profound Origin Immortal Sect has not conceded defeat. If you intervene like this, are you treating Elder Qing as if he does not exist?"

But before Elder Bai Jing could act, a middle-aged man in fiery red robes appeared above the arena as well, laughing heartily.

"Murong De, you truly have some nerve."

Elder Bai Jing’s face darkened as he said coldly, "Your Murong Family dares to use something like the Abyssal Evil Flame at the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly? Do you think our Profound Origin Immortal Sect is easy to bully?"

"So what if they used the Abyssal Evil Flame?"

Before the middle-aged man in fiery red robes could speak, a skeletal old man from another spectator stand chuckled sinisterly and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly has never prohibited the use of the Abyssal Evil Flame. Little Bai, what is the point of making such a fuss?"

He chuckled sinisterly and stood up.

His frame was not imposing, but the aura he released was terrifying.

He said slowly, "Little Bai, I advise you to sit obediently back down on the spectator stand. Otherwise, if you provoke Elder Qing’s anger, I fear you will suffer more than you bargained for."
