"Boom!"
Space vibrated with a hum, as if it was about to shatter, with nine black-scaled dragons sweeping in, carrying an eerie aura.
It was a destructive power capable of overturning a small world, surging towards Luo Yu's relatively minuscule body.
As if it could erase him in an instant.
While three strange flames were indeed capable of devouring the black fog and turning it into nourishing sustenance, they were ultimately in their juvenile phase, limited in speed and size, unable to catch up to the black-scaled dragons.
As the nine dragons were about to collide with his body, the Ice and Snow Empresses couldn't help but lose color in their faces.
Unconsciously, they had come to see this extraordinarily handsome man as their pillar, sharing in his glory and his losses.
Of course, they didn't want to see the man come to any harm.
Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying, on the other hand, sported wickedly triumphant smiles.
They appeared utterly confident they had Luo Yu beaten.
"How does this kid not understand? Is he scared stiff on the spot?"
Emperor Ying chuckled, "I think he's given up struggling, fallen into despair, waiting to be erased."
Luo Yu then looked up, the calm blackness of his eyes flashing with a dazzling amethyst-gold light from their depths.
His gaze skimmed over the black-scaled dragons, staring at Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying.
His lips parted.
"The game—"
"Ends now."
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura, as vast and dark as an abyss, gushed forth from Luo Yu, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracking and disintegrating into countless fragments that blew away.
Nine-colored light burst forth from his body, emitting a horrific aura that surpassed human limits.
Facing the mightily powerful nine black-scaled dragons, he swept his hand across them.
"Scram!"
"Boom!"
The nine mighty dragons instantly exploded, crumbling inch by inch, transforming into shattered black fog energy.
The explosion of black energy in the sky left Emperor Meng, Emperor Ying, and the Ice and Snow Empresses gobsmacked.
"Is... is it over just like that?"
The Ice Emperor blinked repeatedly, clearly incredulous.
"Just what level is this guy's strength at?"
"He just shattered that terrifying attack with one move?"
The Snow Lady murmured in astonishment.
"Was it really shattered? It was more like casually dispersing those nine eerie black-scaled dragons with a flick of his hand,"
"Ingenious."
Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying were dumbfounded.
Eyes bulging.
"Defeated with one move? This... this is horrifying."
Emperor Ying was now extremely afraid; the opponent had nullified their combined ultimate move with a mere normal attack. How could they possibly continue the fight?
Luo Yu floated in the void above.
The black energy dissipating in the air was swiftly captured by the three agile flames.
They visibly grew larger at a rate that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Not good!"
"We can't allow him to continue like this!!"
Emperor Meng cried out in distress, as Luo Yu's actions were akin to cutting flesh from his body.
"We can't hold back any longer, fight with all we've got!" Emperor Ying shouted urgently.
The sky revealed an inverted black fog formation upon the ground, and the bodies of Emperor Ying and Emperor Meng flashed brightly, merging directly into the formation.
"Collapse!"
The surrounding land cracked, opening up chasms.
The Ice Jade Scorpions, suppressed by the strange creatures on the ground, trembled at this moment, because the message from above was utterly terrifying.
Just a wisp of aura that leaked out was enough to make them fall apart with fear.
"Boom!"
When Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying fully integrated into the Abyssal Formation.
A terrifying giant shadow, with two heads and four arms, nearly a hundred meters tall, appeared, with its surroundings turning into an ocean of black fog.
"Boom... Boom!"
The ground shook; those were the sounds of the two-headed, four-armed giant attacking.
Luo Yu looked at that terrifying giant shadow.
He shook his head.
"No good, it's still not enough."
"Clang!"
A sonorous sword cry echoed through the space around them, as the Nine Heavens Execution Sword appeared in his grasp.
At the same time, he beckoned with his left hand, and the Sea God's Trident materialized.
Holding the Sea God's Trident in his left hand and the Nine Heavens Execution Sword in his right,
Luo Yu looked at the monstrous double-headed, four-armed creature before him, seven blood-red Soul Rings bolstering his sword as he slashed out with it.
The strike instantly magnified, exceeding its original limits.
The hundred-meter longsword was terrifying to the extreme, shocking everyone present.
With one strike, it cleaved onto the forehead of the giant monster, emitting a booming sound of metal clashing.
Sparks flew in all directions.
Luo Yu remained completely calm,
With his right hand, he continued to exert force on the hundred-meter sword, while with his left arm, he flung out the Golden Sea God Trident.
The Sea God Trident, as it accelerated through the air, rapidly grew in size, transforming into a true divine weapon, and also possessed a devouring attribute.
"Puchi!"
The enlarged Sea God Trident, fast as lightning and resembling thunder, directly pierced through the giant phantom's form.
Golden radiance exploded within its body, emitting a painful howl amidst the dazzling light.
At this moment, the hundred-meter sword also displayed its true power, with sword light pulsating, it emanated an edge that seemed to cut through everything under the heavens.
It bisected the giant phantom, splitting it down the middle with a clean cut, revealing overwhelming combat strength.
"Impossible!"
"How can this be possible!"
"Your strength..."
"How can there be such a strong person in the human world."
Emperor Meng's and Emperor Ying's voices of disbelief echoed from within the split giant phantom.
The Ice and Snow Empresses' beautiful eyes shone with admiration, for soul beasts harbored few ill intentions and greatly admired strength.
Seeing Luo Yu's shocking combat power, it was hard not to covet it.
All the more so since he had rescued them in such a desperate situation.
"So handsome."
The usually reticent Snow Lady couldn't help but express her sentiment.
The two giant phantoms that had fallen to the ground tried to regroup, but Luo Yu wasn't about to give them that chance.
Three streams of miraculous flames shot up like an extension of his arm, going straight for them.
Like hungry ghosts that hadn't fed in a hundred years, they wildly devoured the energy of the Abyssal Formation, as well as that of Emperor Meng and Emperor Ying.
"Sizz, sizz!"
They grew gradually, with the flames becoming more and more intense.
Screams and wails came from within the enveloped phantoms, as they rolled around in pain to no avail.
Gone was their previous haughty demeanor, calling others inferior beings.
At this time, Luo Yu summoned back the Golden Sea God Trident and the Nine Heavens Execution Sword.
He stowed them away.
And uttered a single word.
"Stop!"
Luo Yu's aura surged around him, climbing steeply, even stronger than the power he had shown in the Rakshasa God Temple.
The terrifying pressure caused the ground to sink three feet on its own.
The struggling phantoms were naturally suppressed by Luo Yu's terrifying aura and couldn't move in the slightest, allowing the flames to burn them to ashes.
"No... you can't kill us, the Emperor will never let you go."
"Ah!"
Emperor Meng's and Emperor Ying's wailing voices continued, but Luo Yu turned a deaf ear to them.
He looked up at the sky,
and saw that the Abyssal Great Array hadn't been completely removed.
"The sky should light up now!"
Luo Yu punched out, the clouds in all directions stirred, and what was deemed an indestructible Abyssal Formation now seemed as flimsy as paper to Luo Yu.
It was directly shattered to pieces.
Beams of sunlight began to pour in, giving the Ice and Snow Empresses a feeling as if they were in another lifetime.
The black mist was refined by the fire, impurities dissipating as black gas, while the pure energy remained to nurture the next Lotus Seed.
After a long time, where were there any giant phantoms on the ground? The three flames had drained and absorbed them.
The three sated flames returned to the Golden Lotus Platform.
They quickly output energy, replenishing the platform.
"Whoosh!"
Three new Lotus Seeds ascended at the same time, fully absorbing these energies.
"Crack!"
The three Lotus Seeds split, and three distinct new flames appeared.
One was purple-black with myriad twinkling stars within.
Another was verdant green, exuding vigorous vitality.
The last one was a sinister deep red flame that bore the scent of death.
"What... what is this?"
The bound Ice and Snow Empresses were completely astounded by Luo Yu's methods.
Flames could be hatched as well?
Luo Yu didn't answer the two women's question but glanced sideways and saw two weak shadows trying to secretly break away into the sky.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Roll back here!!"
