Chapter 6443 Ten Thousand Flame Merge
“Let me try out my new One Merger technique—Extermination Slash!” Lei Linger shouted.
Her lightning sword flashed as it tore through the void itself. The sword’s edge split the restrictions of space and instantly reached the hammer-wielding nine star heir.
“You little lightning spirit, you dare to act arrogant in front of the great nine star line? Die!”
Starlight exploded from the hammer-wielding man’s body. As eight blazing stars ignited behind him, his Sovereign flames surged with destructive might.
BOOM!
The lightning sword collided with the flying hammer, causing a massive ripple to spread from the point of impact. Lei Linger was sent flying, while that man tumbled back and coughed up blood.
“Damn that Cursed Spirit Blood Crow! It’s suppressing my bloodline and interfering with my soul—my astral energy’s sluggish! Otherwise, I’d crush a mere lightning spirit like you with one strike!” he spat furiously, wiping the blood from his lips.
Starlight flared beneath his feet, and his figure vanished. The next instant, he reappeared before the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow.
However, before he could strike, a multicolored lotus blossomed in front of him.
“World Extermination Flame Lotus!” shouted Huo Linger.
BOOM!
The explosion of flames engulfed him. Instinctively, he raised his hammer to block, but the fire surged over it, turning the weapon red-hot. The impact sent the hammer smashing into his own chest.
A tortured scream tore from the hammer-wielding expert’s throat. His chest, which had been pierced by Long Chen earlier, now sizzled as smoke rose from the wound.
As he fell back, he swung his flying hammer wildly to force back Lei Linger, who had been about to deliver a killing blow. The surrounding space twisted wildly because of the wild flailings.
“He’s strong...” Lei Linger muttered, her expression darkening.
Even wounded by Long Chen and shackled by the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow’s curse, the man still possessed monstrous might.
“Big Brother Long Chen said that aside from that hateful woman, this one’s the strongest,” Huo Linger said coldly. “But so what if he’s strong? If we join forces, we can still kill him.”
She quickly formed hand seals.
With a resounding boom, Huo Linger’s manifestation appeared—a vast forest of divine trees. Golden Crows and Jade Crows soared from the canopy, their cries echoing as Sun Flames and Moon Flames intertwined into waves of annihilation.
“How could it be!”
The hammer-wielding expert couldn’t believe his eyes. The flame spirit possessed both the Sun Flame and Moon Flame—two supreme Heavenly Flames that should never coexist.
These were terrifying Heavenly Flames. Even with his powerful physical body, he struggled to withstand the searing heat. And in his injured state, the assault became unbearable.
Grinding his teeth, he gripped his flying hammer tightly. Divine light surged from his eight giant stars and merged with his Sovereign flames. At this moment, he discarded all arrogance and unleashed his full power.
Countless Golden Crows and Jade Rabbits were obliterated beneath his hammer. Suddenly, a towering ancient tree manifested before him. Without hesitation, he swung down—only to strike nothing but air. Startled by the illusion, his mind wavered for an instant.
That moment of opening was all Huo Linger needed. She appeared before him like a phantom and slammed a blazing palm at his chest.
Just as she was about to land the strike, an astral armor materialized around his body.
BOOM!
Huo Linger’s palm crashed into the starry armor. However, the rebound of terrifying astral energy hurled her back, nearly shattering her arm.
“Careful, it's the Star Battle Armor!” Lei Linger exclaimed as she caught Huo Linger.
“To force me, Jue Xing, to use the Star Battle Armor—you can die in peace!”
Astral energy erupted from Jue Xing like a volcanic explosion, shaking the heavens themselves. His voice carried the cold weight of judgment.
The appearance of the Star Battle Armor signified that he was bringing out his ultimate trump card. To be able to push him this far, Jue Xing decided that these two ladies were qualified to know his name.
“Stall for me!” said Huo Linger.
Lei Linger nodded. As lightning waves flashed around her, she vanished.
BOOM!
A bolt of lightning struck Jue Xing. However, this attack only caused some sparks to appear on his battle armor, unable to even penetrate his defenses.
“With this armor, your attacks are barely an itch,” Jue Xing sneered.
Abandoning his hammer, he clenched his fist and unleashed a direct punch.
BOOM!
The bolt of lightning shattered. At this sight, Jue Xing realized that it was not Lei Linger’s true body.
Just then, a storm of lightning rained down from the heavens, pelting him relentlessly. Sparks rippled and danced across his armor in an endless cascade.
At first, he ignored this weak attack. He focused on finding Lei Linger’s true form hidden within the lightning sea. But moments later, his expression darkened. He sensed something clinging to the armor.
“Too late!”
As Lei Linger’s voice echoed throughout heaven and earth, the lightning runes became visible on his Star Battle Armor.
“Lightning Spirit Formation—Explode!”
Lightning sparks rapidly grew on top of the armor, erupting into ear-piercing explosions.
After the sparks faded, Jue Xing’s figure reappeared—his armor still intact, but its light had dimmed somewhat.
“After all that effort, and this is all you can do? I thought it would be something strong, but it’s still just an itch,” Jue Xing mocked, his mocking tone brimming with fury and killing intent.
He felt humiliated. Lei Linger’s useless attacks had disrupted the balance of astral energy on his armor, reducing its power.
Under normal circumstances, this would have been impossible. But after the grievous wound Long Chen had inflicted and the lingering suppression from the cursed energy, the Star Battle Armor’s defense had weakened by nearly twenty percent.
Lei Linger’s lightning aura flickered weakly—her energy nearly exhausted from that gambit.
Sensing this, Jue Xing instantly suppressed her with his aura. Locking onto her, he vanished with the Star Cloud Steps and reappeared before her in a flash. His hammer descended toward her skull like a meteor.
But instead of fear, Lei Linger’s lips curved into a cold, disdainful smile.
Suddenly, a hand shoved Lei Linger out of the way—it was Huo Linger.
At this moment, there were no overwhelming flames around her, and even her Sovereign might had vanished. In fact, her face looked pale, and her aura was particularly weak.
“Try this new World Extermination Flame Lotus, forged from the merge of ten thousand flames!” she shouted.
The next moment, a palm-sized flame lotus appeared in her hand and flew toward Jue Xing.
That tiny lotus made every hair on his body stand on end. In the reflection of his pupils, a sun exploded.
