Chapter 116: Samadhi True Fire Throws the Fiend Into Chaos!
“Seventh rank? Hah!”
“You’ve merely gone from being an ant to being a slightly bigger ant!”
Zhu Jiu wore a crimson cloak, and the vertical pupil above his eyes emitted a sinister glow. His expression was full of disdain.
Even so, the people present still saw a glimmer of hope.
After being blasted away, Wan Feipeng climbed back to his feet, and his injuries did not seem too severe.
Compared to how he had been heavily injured by a single strike at the sixth rank, this was already incomparably stronger!
“Damn it! I got careless! Again!” Wan Feipeng roared.
On the battlefield, Wei Zheng, the commander directing the battle for Central China, along with several other sixth-rank powerhouses, could not help wanting to ask one question:
“How did you suddenly become a seventh-rank?”
“Could it be that getting heavily injured by a Fiend Sovereign is the key to breaking into the seventh rank?”
Especially for the other nine sixth-rank Class Users, advancing to the seventh rank could be said to be their greatest dream!
And now, Wan Feipeng had actually achieved it!
In truth, Ye Ze had obtained two Seventh-Rank Advancement Pills from the Secret Realm, and he still had one left.
But that remaining pill was reserved for himself. After all, there was no telling whether the next Secret Realm would still contain a Seventh-Rank Advancement Pill.
The reason he had given one to Wan Feipeng was, on the one hand, because Wan Feipeng was nearly the strongest among them, and on the other hand, because he was still someone Ye Ze could trust.
What Ye Ze had not expected, however, was this:
even the seventh rank was still not enough to fight Zhu Jiu to a standstill!
That made things very dangerous.
After all, with this full-scale Fiend offensive, the entire East China front would be facing massive Fiend assaults.
If the sixth-rank Class Users could not free up their hands, then the entire East China Region would still lose countless positions, which would eventually become polluted lands of the Abyss.
Just like the current state of the Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire.
“We still have to deal with Zhu Jiu first,” Ye Ze murmured.
Hearing that, Wu Ming looked at him in disbelief. “How are we supposed to deal with him?”
Ye Ze shook his head. At the moment, he truly did not have a definite method.
Originally, he had planned to burn Zhu Jiu directly with Samadhi True Fire. Even if it could not kill him, it should at least leave him heavily wounded!
But now that he had seen Zhu Jiu’s strength, Ye Ze felt he had been overthinking it.
The other side’s attributes were too high, and his movements were too fast!
At Ye Ze’s own speed of attack, Samadhi True Fire probably would not even be able to touch him.
As for Liu Anran’s Spatial Lock... after her enormous consumption inside the Secret Realm, then transporting people to the frontline battlefield, she was currently still recovering.
And besides, he did not believe Liu Anran could truly lock Zhu Jiu down!
At that moment, Wan Feipeng had rallied himself and was fighting Zhu Jiu together with the other nine sixth-ranks. Although the battle had improved somewhat, they were still at a disadvantage.
Ye Ze suddenly thought of the World Tree of the Myriad Spirit World. No wonder the Myriad Spirit World had been destroyed. A Sovereign-class Fiend could actually be this terrifying!
The power of the Abyss was far beyond imagination!
Ye Ze lifted his head and looked at the boundless darkness, at the fiendish aura covering the sky.
Then he saw that blood-red vertical pupil in the heavens...
“I’ve got it!” Ye Ze’s eyes lit up at once.
Through Eye of Insight, he saw the description of the eye in the sky:
【Eye of Zhuyin: Manifested from the third eye of Fiend Sovereign Zhu Jiu. It possesses abilities such as Yin Thunder Descends, Calling Wind and Rain, and Extreme Yin Power.】
That eye in the sky was Zhu Jiu’s third eye!
Zhu Jiu himself was too fast, and impossible to burn.
But since this eye had manifested in the heavens, there was no way it could run away!
Even for Fiend Sovereign Zhu Jiu, losing an eye could not possibly come without consequence!
And more importantly, Ye Ze felt that many of Zhu Jiu’s abilities seemed to come from that vertical pupil...
“What are you planning to do?”
Wu Ming looked tense and hopeful at the same time. Right now, they desperately needed someone to break the deadlock!
“How do you need us to cooperate?”
“There’s no need. I’ll wait for a chance and try it first!”
Ye Ze’s expression was full of excitement as he stared fixedly at the battlefield.
At that moment, after being blasted away several times, Wan Feipeng had finally grown familiar with the power of the seventh rank. He was even capable of exchanging a blow with Zhu Jiu now.
And in that single opening, Ye Ze summoned the Fox Immortal.
Sizzle—
The glazed blue-white Samadhi True Fire coiled around the Fox Immortal’s hand, using up the last of her Spiritual Energy to condense into a single arrow of flame!
Across the entire sky shrouded in endless darkness...it tore through the night!
Its long tail of fire flashed like a meteor, and the arrow formed from Samadhi True Fire shot straight toward the heavens.
Flames danced wildly at the arrow’s tip. The crimson firelight seemed to rip a crack through the sky itself, as though it were tearing open the darkness.
The Eye of Zhuyin in the sky seemed to sense the incoming arrow and began to close slightly, but the instant it touched Samadhi True Fire, it was still ignited at once!
Whoosh—
Samadhi True Fire burned the Eye of Zhuyin to destruction.
“Aaaaaah—!”
On the battlefield, Fiend Sovereign Zhu Jiu suddenly clutched his eye, and his scream was horrifying to hear.
Glazed flames now wrapped around his third eye, burning across his face, leaving a ghastly wound!
Even Zhu Jiu, who had not suffered so much as a mark when Wan Feipeng struck him with the full force of the seventh rank, was now ablaze with Samadhi True Fire...
as though he had been struck by an agony beyond description!
“Aaaah—what kind of fire is this!?”
It was not that Zhu Jiu had failed to notice that flaming arrow.
He simply had not cared.
He knew exactly what sort of power and durability that eye possessed.
If ordinary attacks could wound it, he never would have hung such a weakness openly in the sky.
In fact, Zhu Jiu had fought his way across countless worlds, and his third eye had never suffered any injury at all!
But this time, something was different!
As Samadhi True Fire burned within his eye, Zhu Jiu gathered Extreme Yin Power in his hand, trying to extinguish the flame.
Yet he found that even his hand had caught fire!
“Aaaah—!”
“What an opportunity!”
The moment he heard his enemy screaming, Wan Feipeng immediately prepared to strike while Zhu Jiu was weakened and finish him off!
Yet in the face of everyone’s counterattack, Fiend Sovereign Zhu Jiu’s body swiftly transformed into a streak of crimson light and fled toward the Abyss!
“He ran?”
Wan Feipeng and several of the sixth-ranks were instantly overjoyed. They had fought for so long without being able to do anything to the Fiend Sovereign, yet because of a single flame, he had fled?
Tong Mo, Shi Qing, and the others were all deeply shaken. They recognized that flame. It was what Ye Ze had brought out of the Secret Realm!
“Ye Ze came to reinforce us!?”
At that moment, the entire battlefield was filled with surging excitement!
Not only had they survived facing a Fiend Sovereign, but they had even managed to hold Linyuan City!
“We held it! We really held it!!”
“Invincible—!”
At that moment, light broke through the clouds and shone upon the earth.
