My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 659 Fire Played Well
659: Fire Played Well
659: Fire Played Well
Unarisen Leaf dodged, but Gu Lan’s Three Clarity avatar wasn’t so lucky and was directly engulfed by the sea of fire.
The flames surged, and spiritual light flickered, clearly still resisting.
“As expected of the only Heaven-Fixing Realm powerhouse in the Six Realms today, truly impressive.”
“Even a mere avatar possesses such powerful divine power.
Truly astonishing.”
“But what a pity.
No matter how strong a person is, divine power is still limited.
In this Linglong Pagoda, how long can you last?”
Busheng, from a higher level of the Linglong Pagoda, felt the terrifying force of the flames below and no longer believed that Gu Lan’s avatars could survive.
This was because the Linglong Pagoda was too closely aligned with the Cangming Clan’s Seven-Colored Flower.
The flower’s true body could unleash a defiant divine power directly invoking the force of the Dao, and the Linglong Pagoda could enhance this power, achieving a complementary effect.
No one understood the power of a Supreme Treasure of Merits better than the Ancient God Clan, whose innate spiritual treasures were beyond compare.
Inside the Linglong Pagoda, the flames burned.
Outside the Linglong Pagoda, there was no escape either.
Amidst the endless flames, Gu Lan stood upon the Azure Lotus of Merits, using Buddhist defensive divine powers to block the flames.
Buddhist divine powers had astonishing defensive abilities, and for now, Gu Lan was unharmed.
But this wouldn’t last.
His divine power, no matter how abundant, was still finite.
Cangming was using a divine power granted by his innate talent, which was far superior to the divine power of the Six Realms.
With the added strength of the Supreme Treasure of Merits, the Linglong Pagoda, fighting a battle of endurance was not in Gu Lan’s favor.
“I originally planned to use this opportunity to condense the Rule Mark of the Fire Dao, but it seems I’m still a bit short.”
“The borrowed power of the innate divine ability still falls short.”
Gu Lan, standing on the Azure Lotus of Merits, silently watched the endless flames surrounding him.
Gradually, flames began to burn around him, flowing like water, swirling and twisting.
Raising his hand, the Hongmeng Sword appeared in his palm.
Gu Lan was still in the process of comprehending the Fire Dao.
The flame power enveloped the Hongmeng Sword.
In an inspired moment, Gu Lan raised his hand and struck.
This strike, in addition to the indestructible Sword Intent, also contained the destructive intent of the flames.
The Sword Intent and flames merged in the air, emitting a sound similar to a phoenix’s cry.
This strike was another move from the mysterious sword technique Sword Twelve, called:
“Sword Seven, Fiery Phoenix!”
Within the flames, a phoenix of fire shimmered, glowing with dazzling firelight.
Alongside the sword light, the flaming phoenix broke through the Azure Lotus of Merits’ Buddhist light and collided with the boundless flames outside.
Boom!
The sound of the flames exploding reverberated through the heavens and earth, and the entire underground space collapsed, with the very fabric of space shaking.
“Fire Rule!”
“He actually comprehended it!”
“He’s only one step away from condensing the Rule Mark!
This guy is a monster!”
Cangming, standing atop the Linglong Pagoda, showed a look of shock in his eyes.
In the explosion’s aftermath, he continuously dodged and flew out of the underground, rising into the sky.
Outside, Chen Feng also sensed the disturbance.
He saw the ground suddenly tremble, followed by a flash of red light.
Before he could understand what happened, an unprecedented terrifying shockwave exploded.
It was the collision of two different flame powers, creating a shockwave carrying unparalleled heat.
Under the terrifying heat, the already ruined Bamboo Sea turned to ashes.
Even the earth began to burn, and countless precious ores melted into flowing magma.
“Master’s attack is always this earth-shattering?” Chen Feng murmured to himself.
He gazed at the scene before him, his heart filled with both fear and longing.
He feared his master’s enemies were too powerful, but he also yearned for the day he could wield such power.
“It’s the origin of fire’s power!”
“No, it’s the Fire Rule!”
“The battle’s aftermath is too terrifying.
Quickly, activate the protective mountain array!”
From various sects not far from the site, experts from the Divine Realm hastily instructed their disciples to activate defensive arrays.
“Such a massive energy fluctuation could only come from a Heaven Treasure.”
“Few forces in the Six Realms could cause such a battle phenomenon.”
“The most likely one is…
the master of Lanyan Royal School!”
In the Cuitian World, many powerful figures immediately guessed the identity of the combatants.
And the one fighting Gu Lan could only be the Ancient God Clan.
The most probable opponent was the Ancient God Clan’s Young Master, Cangming, who had previously clashed with Gu Lan in the Six Realms’ chessboard.
“This power has already surpassed the God Realm, right?”
“They said Gu Lan’s strength had greatly diminished after his battle with the Bright Clan Divine Son.
Now it seems those claims were pure nonsense!”
“Such a terrifying battle… how could it be the result of someone who hasn’t fully recovered his strength?”
Countless powerful figures watched the fiery waves spreading across the sky like a sea of flames.
Even the residual energy made them tremble in fear.
If they were caught in it, they would suffer great consequences just trying to escape.
Facing this head-on, they would have been reduced to ashes in an instant.
The strength of the God Realm was something they could never face directly.
“Gu Lan!”
In the Cuitian World, Cangming stood on the Linglong Pagoda, his eyes filled with an unmistakable rage.
The explosion and the fiery waves had not harmed him, but he had been forced back.
This result made him furious.
He had used his innate divine power and even invoked the Supreme Treasure of Merits, yet he hadn’t harmed his opponent and had been driven back instead.
This was unbearable for him.
“Your Fire Dao is played well.”
At that moment, a voice came from within the sea of fire.
As the voice echoed, a path opened in the fire, and Gu Lan slowly walked out, holding his sword.
Flames still danced around him, as though they had gained life, swirling around him like playful fish.
That last sword strike, the Fiery Phoenix, had deepened his understanding of the Fire Dao.
Now, if Cangming tried to use fire-related divine powers again, he would no longer be able to harm him.
“It’s just unfortunate.”
“Playing with fire?
I can do that too.”
“If this is all you’ve got, not only will you fail to kill me today, but leaving will be just as difficult.”
Gu Lan spoke indifferently, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable weight.
Seeing Gu Lan’s posture, Cangming’s anger flared even more.
Having lost the Nine Heavens Earth Essence, he had already been seething with rage.
Now, his fury reached its peak.
Cangming knew that relying solely on the Fire Dao’s divine powers would not defeat Gu Lan.
Thus, the Seven-Colored Flower behind him dropped another petal.
