Chapter 596: Devour vs. Incinerate, The Battle of Heavenly Flames!
Wu Tian's gaze was locked onto the demonic figure before him, his heartbeat pounding violently in his chest.
His connection with Heavenly Flames allowed him to sense the sheer terror radiating from this being.
The overwhelming devouring force, the eerie presence
There was no doubt.
This was the true Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame List.
The real Void Devouring Flame had arrived!
"That thing… actually has a true Heavenly Flame Spirit Form?!"
Yao Chen's expression twisted in shock as he stared up at the black-flamed figure in the sky.
He wasn't the only one
Wu Tian himself was equally astounded.
This wasn't just any Heavenly Flame
This was something that transcended all others.
Even among all the powerful beings Wu Tian had encountered, none had given him this sense of unease.
It was truly a monster beyond words.
Even with Wu Tian's current strength, he wasn't sure he could match it.
For a moment
He found himself wondering
Why had such a powerful being come here?
The Heavenly Court Alliance was just a small resistance faction compared to the great powers of the world.
Why would a being of this caliber appear here?!
The answer was obvious.
This was never about the war.
This was about him.
Wu Tian knew it.
The Soul Clan wasn't foolish.
He wasn't the original Xiao Yan
And he knew that the Soul Clan would never allow him to continue growing unchecked.
Soul Extinguishing Life had sensed the risk
So he had reported everything to the clan's higher-ups.
And the moment the news reached the Void Devouring Flame
It had personally come to retrieve its fragment
And to consume Wu Tian.
Because even for a being like it
Ten fused Heavenly Flames was an irresistible temptation.
If the Void Devouring Flame could devour Wu Tian,
Its power would surge to unimaginable heights.
With that
It might even reach the legendary Dou Di realm.
And if that happened
It would no longer need Soul Heaven Emperor.
It could discard their agreement,
And take the path to ultimate power alone.
This was why it had come.
This was its plan all along.
At this moment
Both Wu Tian and the Void Devouring Flame licked their lips
Each eyeing the other like a grand feast.
Wu Tian had never seen a Heavenly Flame this powerful.
This entity had existed longer than any other.
Older than every known flame in history.
If he could consume it
His strength would soar to the absolute pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent.
However
Right now
That was nothing more than a distant dream.
On the other hand
The Void Devouring Flame's greed only grew stronger.
This was not the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
This was something entirely different.
Something… it had never seen before.
A Heavenly Flame it did not recognize.
That infuriated it.
This fool
This Wu Tian
Dared to try and become the next Tuo She Ancient Emperor?!
It would never allow that.
It was the strongest of all flames.
It alone was meant to rule.
Once it consumed Wu Tian,
Its power would skyrocket
And then, with the Soul Clan's help, it would devour every other flame.
Then it
Not the Soul Heaven Emperor
Would become the new Tuo She Ancient Emperor!
Before the stunned gazes of countless onlookers,
The black-flamed figure slowly lowered its gaze.
A voice, hoarse and chilling, echoed across the battlefield.
"Heavenly Flame Spirit… I should thank you."
"You've been gathering this delicious power for me all this time."
"Allow me to relieve you of it."
The voice sent shivers through everyone present.
But Wu Tian only sneered.
"You think you can take my flames?"
His voice was cold, his gaze filled with mockery.
That attitude was the greatest insult to the Void Devouring Flame.
It was far beyond Wu Tian's level.
It was a Nine-Star Dou Saint.
Wu Tian had only just reached Three-Star Dou Saint.
The difference was unfathomable
Yet he still dared to act arrogant?!
"Hmph… You talk big."
"Strength, not words, will determine your fate."
Without hesitation
The Void Devouring Flame moved.
With a wave of its sleeve
The skies churned.
The endless black flames above began to boil,
Then
They fell like an apocalyptic downpour.
A rain of black fire descended toward Wu Tian and Saint Pill City.
"No! He's trying to wipe out the entire city!"
Ye Feng's expression sank.
If this attack landed,
It would completely destroy their side's advantage.
"Shhhhiiiiiizzzzzhhhhh "
The black flames poured down like liquid death
Only for Wu Tian to thrust his arms outward.
Behind him
A nine-colored sea of fire erupted, forming a massive fire shield.
When the two flames met
There was no explosion.
Only an eerie silence.
Then
White mist began to rise.
Wu Tian's nine-colored flames had countered the black fire
But something was wrong.
The longer the clash lasted
The weaker Wu Tian's flames became.
It was as if his very energy was being siphoned away.
From the sky, the Void Devouring Flame's voice echoed once more.
"Your fusion flames are strong…"
"But none of them can resist my Devouring Power."
"No matter how strong you are…"
"I will consume you in the end."
"We'll see about that!"
Wu Tian's eyes gleamed with ferocity.
His voice roared through the battlefield.
"Divine Flame Burning Heaven!"
BOOM!!!
The already fading nine-colored flames suddenly exploded outward
Their brilliance surging to even greater heights!
The terrifying incineration force expanded
Rising into the sky like a devouring inferno!
For the first time
The Void Devouring Flame's expression changed.
"This… is true incineration…!"
"It can burn the heavens and oceans…"
"It can melt all things!"
At that moment
Everyone watching finally understood.
This was a battle between two ultimate forces.
One was Devour,
The other was Incinerate.
Two of the strongest abilities in the Dou Qi Continent
Which one would prevail?
