Chương 287: Gu Yuan's Ambition!
At this moment, Gu Fei stood at the edge of a massive crater shrouded in smoke, his eyes blazing as he observed the devastation before him.
Within a few miles, not a single blade of grass remained. The ground was cracked, as if it had been struck by divine punishment.
Such a spectacular scene was a rare sight across the entire continent.
Anyone unaware might think that a hellish disaster had just occurred here.
He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the surging power within his body.
That last strike had far exceeded his expectations.
Even he hadn't anticipated that this shockwave would be so formidable!
"System, display the attribute panel," he murmured with a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
The next moment, a phantom-like screen appeared before him:
Angry Buddha Lotus Flame: Mid-level Heaven Rank, when activated, fuses four different heavenly flames, possessing earth-shattering power...
Evaluation: Initial fusion stage, limitless potential
"Fusing four heavenly flames at the initial stage has already reached mid-level heaven rank. If eight, ten, or even more heavenly flames were fused, the power of this technique might surpass the late heaven rank!"
Gu Fei's eyes flashed with brilliance, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
What did this mean? At this rate, it wouldn't take long...
He hesitated briefly, then took a deep breath. Although he now had enough emotional value to directly upgrade this dou technique, he had no intention of doing so.
He believed that with his own abilities, he could develop this technique to that level—and even beyond.
"It seems I have to keep testing it!"
With a low shout, he began another attempt.
This time, he planned to fuse five heavenly flames.
He clasped his hands, and five differently colored flames slowly converged in his palms: gold-red, ghostly blue, green, pink, and a deep black. The five flames intertwined and gradually merged into one.
"Boom!"
A radiant, five-colored lotus blossomed in his palm, exuding an oppressive, terrifying pressure. The aura was so strong that even the surrounding space began to warp.
His expression turned serious as he focused entirely on controlling the fire lotus.
As the number of flames increased, the difficulty of control rose exponentially.
(TL/n: Why doesnt he control it through his flame spirit? That way he can even conjure multiple flame lotuses at the same time..)
Yet this did not stop his progress. Gritting his teeth, he pushed on, attempting to fuse a sixth flame.
The moment the six-colored flame lotus formed, the entire world seemed to tremble.
The terrifying pressure even alerted powerful members of the Gu Clan several dozen miles away.
Indeed, it wasn't the explosion's power but the sheer pressure that made it hard for anyone to breathe in this world.
The explosion itself? That was unspeakably horrifying- several mountain peaks vanished instantly.
"Not enough!" Gu Fei's eyes turned bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead. He knew he could push further.
The instant the seventh flame joined, Gu Fei felt his energy surging like a dam bursting, rushing towards the seven-colored flame lotus.
"Condense!" Gu Fei roared, trying to control the violent power. However, it was too overwhelming- even with his current cultivation, he struggled to fully contain it.
(TL/n: Did he forget he has a flame spirit??)
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion rang out as the seven-colored flame lotus detonated. The terrifying energy swept out like a tsunami, leveling everything within dozens of miles.
Gu Fei was forced back, leaving deep footprints with each step. After retreating several hundred meters, he barely managed to steady himself.
The shockwaves didn't subside for a long time. The resulting winds whipped up debris, uprooting trees from miles away.
Looking back, he stood in awe.
The scene resembled a hellscape.
The sea of flames would take days to subside!
"Phew..." He exhaled deeply, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Looking back again, he saw a massive crater several miles in diameter, with roaring flames rising skyward as if they would ignite the entire heavens.
A wave of heat swept through the area.
"This power..." he muttered to himself, his eyes full of shock. Even he hadn't expected the technique to be so terrifying.
At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared on the other side of the mountain range.
"What... what in the world happened here?" one of them asked, a middle-aged man with a stern face.
It was none other than the leader of the clan, Gu Yuan.
Standing next to him was an elderly man, Gu Lie!
Even from afar, he could feel the two of them watching him.
He chuckled softly.
It seems he had startled these two after all.
A faint smile appeared on Gu Fei's face.
"It seems this kid is creating a new dou technique," Gu Lie remarked.
He had watched the entire process unfold.
Even Gu Lie, with his years of experience, found it astonishing.
"A new technique?"
"That aura just now even startled me. Tell me, what technique is this?" Gu Yuan asked, his gaze piercing as he looked at Gu Lie.
He didn't hesitate and explained the origin and cultivation process of Gu Fei's Angry Buddha Lotus Flames in detail.
After listening, Gu Yuan couldn't help but praise, "What a boy!"
"To create such a powerful technique in its initial stages... Once perfected, it could even pose a threat to a Nine-Star Dou Saint!"
He marveled.
Indeed, this was no exaggeration.
The devastation- the smoldering crater that refused to extinguish- spoke for itself.
"This technique, if fully mastered, might even rival God-level techniques!" Gu Lie nodded in agreement.
Perhaps due to his amazement, his words had elevated Gu Fei's status even higher.
"Our clan is destined to flourish!" Gu Yuan suddenly declared, his face filled with satisfaction.
With Gu Fei's current strength, he was second only to himself in the entire Gu Clan.
"Yes, flourish indeed," Gu Lie chuckled but soon sighed, "But now, the God's path is severed..."
Hearing this, the smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by a trace of melancholy. His talent wasn't lacking either; had it been in ancient times, he too might have had a chance at becoming a God.
But now, with the God's path cut off, it was all a distant dream.
Unless they reached the Tou She Ancient God's mansion...
"If Gu Fei breaks through to the Nine-Star Dou Saint, we might be able to gather all the ancient God Jades!" He suddenly spoke, his eyes gleaming.
"Are you serious?" Gu Lie was shocked, staring in disbelief at Gu Yuan.
Throughout his years as clan leader, he had always pursued stability for the clan's growth.
Ever since the fall of the Xiao Clan, he had adopted a cautious approach, avoiding any risk.
Five words described him: as stable as a rock!
Gu Yuan didn't reply, only casting a determined glance in Gu Fei's direction.
