Chapter 1368: Truefire Domain
The 10,000-year-old profound iron was a type of saint-grade iron of the best quality. These were the same chains that had chained Scarlet Flame Monarch down for 10,000 years. Now, they had become his weapon. Apart from being durable, they did not seem special. However, it was precisely these chains that had shackled the fiery dragon down.
Wielding the chains of 10,000-year-old profound iron, Scarlet Flame Monarch pulled Di Ganming's halberd away before flogging Di Ganming's body with a different chain. Scarlet Flame Monarch's attacks could not be underestimated. Not even Di Ganming could remain unharmed under Scarlet Flame Monarch's attack. The chain struck Di Ganming's waist, sending him flying.
From this exchange, it became obvious who was stronger. Di Batian and the others were greatly shocked. They had not foreseen a rapid defeat like this. Fear gripped their hearts.
"Trying to destroy the Ziling Sect with only this much strength? If you're not an idiot, who is?" asked Scarlet Flame Monarch. After regaining his previous combat strength, Scarlet Flame Monarch had a confident look on his face.
"You think you won already? Dream on!" With blood dripping from his lips, Di Ganming roared, "Fiery dragon, what are you waiting for?"
A sturdy man slowly walked up from behind Di Batian. The man instantly transformed into a fiery dragon with a pair of wings on his back. He was not a pure dragon. However, he had a rich amount of dragon blood flowing in his veins.
An intense flame raged around his body, giving him an incredibly valiant look. A Great Devil Saint! Di Batian and the others had a look of excitement, thinking that victory was already within grasp.
At this time, Green Ghost walked out with a group of people and said, "Master, we have arrived."
Green Ghost's Ghostface Sect was no ordinary organization. He had long nurtured a decent number of experts. Previously, he was busy dealing with the stirring subsidiary organizations and had just returned.
"Just wait aside," said Devouring Ghost. "Big brother, are we making a move?"
"No. You know Scarlet Flame's strength well. Only this level of pressure can allow him to awaken even more of his strength," said Purple Lightning Marquis calmly.
Standing atop the fiery dragon, Di Ganming waved his hand and recalled his halberd. Pointing at Scarlet Flame Monarch, he said, "You won't be able to escape death."
He then charged forth with the fiery dragon. Once again, he unleashed a stunning attack with his halberd. At the same time, the fiery dragon spat out a clump of flame from his mouth. The two attacks fused into a raging flame attack that shot toward Scarlet Flame Monarch. Working as one with his mount, Di Ganming was confident he could kill even a peak Great Saint.
Facing the incoming attack, Scarlet Flame Monarch howled with laughter as he said, "Excellent. This is more like it. Back then, even Rebirth Realm Gods had perished in my hands. What do I have to fear from the likes of you? Let's have some fun!"
Scarlet Flame Monarch released all the energy in his stars, gaining control over the ambient flame energy in his surroundings to form a raging fireball that collided against Di Ganming and his mount.
Brilliant Sun!
From the ball of flame, rays of light shot out like the first rays of the rising sun. Nothing could hide from these rays, and nobody could stop their advancement. Both Di Ganming and his mount were fire users. Both of them unleashed a massive amount of flame energy that was akin to a natural disaster. It was as though countless fiery dragons had emerged from their lairs to wreak havoc upon the world.
As the clash between Great Saints continued, the sky turned bright red while all the clouds in the sky dispersed. Space collapsed, and endless fire spread in all directions like fireworks. A rain of fire fell onto the mountain range below, leaving numerous holes on the ground and starting a massive fire. All the onlookers were stunned.
"Is this the strength of Great Saints? Even from so far away, my legs are turning weak. This is too terrifying."
"This level of strength is enough to burn the sky and boil the ocean. Before such strength, a human feels so tiny. If I can become a Saint one day, I'll have nothing more to ask for from life."
"Our Ziling Sect is protected by a Great Saint. If we can work hard, we can soon become a tier-8 organization. I hope we can survive this crisis."
"That's right. Regardless of whether the young sect master is a devil, that has nothing to do with us. None of us are devils. If this Great Saint continues protecting us, nobody can shake our foundations!"
...
With Scarlet Flame Monarch's exceptional performance, the Ziling Sect regained morale. However, the sect would only regain stability after Scarlet Flame Monarch obtained a full victory.
In the beginning, Scarlet Flame Monarch did not have the advantage. As a result, he suffered quite a number of injuries and cut a sorry figure. But the longer the battle went, the crazier he became as he fought without caring for his own life. His actions were understandable, as he was one who had slaughtered even Gods before. How could he fear a mere Saint?
Finally, Scarlet Flame Monarch used his trump card and transformed into an ocean of red-hot energy that covered the sky. He seemed to have transformed into the god of fire, creating clouds of fire and summoning rains of fire. He absorbed all the flame energy around Di Ganming and the fiery dragon, creating a domain of flame that greatly shocked the two.
Truefire Domain!
That was a technique created by Scarlet Flame Monarch himself. Within the domain, he was the god of fire. All flame energy would be forcefully drawn in, and nobody could utilize any flame energy within the domain. Within the domain, he was the absolute master of flames.
"Time to send you to the afterlife," said Scarlet Flame Monarch as a massive palm dropped down from the sky. Wrapped in a raging flame, the fiery palm pressed down with unstoppable might.
Di Ganming and the fiery dragon panicked. They used all their strength to defend. If they failed to block the incoming palm, they could very well die. Alas, they were unable to make use of any flame energy in their surroundings. In such a weakened state, how could they survive Scarlet Flame Monarch's attack?
Boom!
The palm dropped down, instantly crushing all resistance, and it turned the two into mincemeat. Blood splashed in all directions while a wail reverberated in the air.
As the blood of a Great Saint dripped down Di Mie's, Di Batian's, and Di Lin's faces, fear filled their eyes. Di Batian roared, "Retreat!"
"Are you trying to leave only now? It's too late," said Devouring Ghost.
His blood demon clone flew out and prepared to attack. However, Purple Lightning Marquis was faster than him. Just as Purple Lightning Marquis was about to slaughter all the Di Clan people, something astonishing appeared.
