Chapter 735: Abyssal Plane, Two New Lotus Seed Flames Appear!_1

"Hahaha."

Emperor Meng looked at Luo Yu with disdain, saying indifferently, "Do you really think these three weak flames can extinguish us?"

"Ridiculous," Emperor Ying also said, shaking his head in disdain.

"Oh?"

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, offered no explanation, and with a thought, three flames flew out from the Golden Lotus Platform.

Flourishing in the wind, they turned into a roaring inferno, burning towards the two towering phantoms.

"Tch, you won't shed a tear until you see your coffin. What can you do to me even if I just stand here and let you burn me?"

Emperor Meng crossed his arms, gave up the offensive, did not evade, and actively met the flames, allowing them to scorch him.

The corners of his mouth were raised high, full of satisfaction.

Seeing his behavior, Luo Yu's lips parted.

"Idiot."

The roaring flames scorched the phantom of Emperor Meng--at first, he looked smug and full of scorn.

But his expression suddenly changed.

Like being stung by a scorpion, he let out a harsh scream and quickly flashed away to escape.

He stimulated his energy to dispel the flames on his body.

"What... what kind of fire is this?"

"Why is it burning my Origin Power?!"

"Impossible, how could a lower plane possibly have the means to extinguish the very source of our lives?"

Emperor Meng exclaimed in shock as he tried to dispel the still burning flames on his body, only to find they clung to him like glue, impossible to shake off.

He made a desperate decision, shattering his outer body, allowing the flames to consume him.

His body, which was once over ten meters tall, shrank significantly.

His momentum weakened by more than twenty percent.

His face turned ugly, and his pupils dilated with shock.

"This... just after being scorched for a moment, it extinguished two tenths of my life's Origin Power?"

Emperor Ying, who stood beside him, also jumped in fear. He had been confident, yet he discovered that Luo Yu indeed had such methods.

To Luo Yu, this came as no surprise.

He had long since discovered that the Golden Fire Lotus and the twenty-six Lotus Seeds on it were objects of a higher level, nourishing themselves by swallowing and burning. Swallowing these strange creatures was naturally within reason.

Moreover, after swallowing Emperor Meng's Origin Energy, he clearly saw that the three distinct Fire Lotuses had grown even stronger.

"You... who exactly are you?" Emperor Meng stood shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Ying, having deliberately reduced his size.

Fearing that a larger body would be too easily covered by the flames, they warily stared at those three strange flames Luo Yu had, no longer daring to underestimate them.

Luo Yu spoke calmly, "I haven't even started trying hard."

"And you're already backing down?"

"You're talking nonsense. How could I, the Abyss Great Emperor, fear a lowly creature?"

Although Emperor Meng spoke fiercely, to Luo Yu, he was all bark and no bite, already scared.

Luo Yu beckoned with his finger.

"If you're unconvinced, then fight."

Facing such a domineering and handsome youth, Emperor Meng's neck shrank slightly, already having thoughts of retreat.

"Emperor Ying, let's pull back."

"This kid is really weird. Let's have some other emperor deal with it, or ask Emperor Zhi to take action."

The face of Emperor Ying turned sour.

"We can't back down, we mustn't."

"Our task from the emperor was to infiltrate Soul Land undetected. If we retreat, it means we failed our mission. Do we really have a way to survive then?"

"The emperor won't listen to our explanations."

When the emperor was mentioned, Emperor Meng's huge phantom shivered.

The fear of the flames diminished somewhat at that moment.

"Then we must fight with all our might."

"Let this youngster see the prowess of the abyss."

Emperor Zhi nodded.

"You and I will activate the Abyssal Great Array together, and as long as we're careful of these flames, suppressing this youngster won't be difficult."

Luo Yu was in no hurry to make a move, observing the opponent's tactics while dragging the Golden Lotus with the three Strange Flames he had retracted floating above it.

"Boom!"

Emperor Meng and Emperor Zhi exerted their power simultaneously; black mist surged around them, resonating with the Abyssal Formation that was sealing off the area.

During the resonance, the Formation summoned a crushing force out of thin air.

The whole world seemed to press down on Luo Yu, the space around him rejecting his presence, and a thick, rolling black mist enveloped his body.

The Ice and Snow Empresses and their stunningly beautiful faces were suspended in shock, incredulously watching the silhouette of the Banished Immortal in the sky.

Unable to hold back, the Ice Empress said, "What is the story behind this guy, who actually manages to fight on par with these two strange creatures, even overwhelming them?"

"He's too strong," Snow Lady sincerely exclaimed, "I've never seen such power in my life."

"When did such a powerful being emerge amongst the humans?"

A look of joy streamed through Beautiful Eyes' icy crystal-like gaze.

"If a powerful human like this had emerged before, I would have only felt worried."

"But now, in this situation, all I can say is…"

"Well done!!"

Snow Lady spoke solemnly:

"We can't tell if this newcomer is friend or foe. Hold your breath, concentrate, and quickly mobilize your Soul Power."

A chill went through Ice Emperor's heart, and her rosy tongue felt somewhat bitter.

"Sister, to be honest, our strength is also considerable in Soul Land."

"How come we are only left struggling to survive while he can press down on these two strange creatures in battle? Is the gap really that big?"

"Let's see if he can withstand this wave of assault. These strange creatures seem desperate," Snow Lady sighed deeply, feeling struck.

"Rumble!"

Strange black mist covered the sky as it surged towards Luo Yu, and the surrounding space unleashed its suppressing power.

Luo Yu remained unmoved where he stood.

The three flames within the Golden Lotus rapidly magnified and burned fiercely.

"Crackle, crackle!!"

All the encroaching black mist was effortlessly burned away by the three flames, their pure energy being easily absorbed.

"Damn it!"

Emperor Meng couldn't help but want to curse.

"What the hell is this guy? Why is he so freakish?"

Emperor Ying also had a grave look in his eyes, feeling that this was just outrageous.

Whether it was the black mist or their own indestructible nature, each was a great weapon against beings from other planes.

Those they could beat were dominated by brute strength, and those they couldn't were worn down to death.

But facing this guy was another story; instead of hindering him, it turned into nourishment.

What kind of situation was this?

If they weren't bound to attack without retreat in this battle, they would already be considering running away.

Having suffered, they began to change their method of attack, manipulating the black mist to converge into Nine Black-Scaled Dragons, avoiding the flames' assault and attacking Luo Yu's true body.

After a bout of struggle, Emperor Meng's eyes lit up.

"Kid, we've found your weakness."

"Oh?"

Dodging the Black Dragon's attack, Luo Yu's eyebrows lifted.

Emperor Meng continued:

"Although your flame technique suppresses us, the flames are clearly in their infancy, and as long as we're determined to avoid them, you can't touch us."

"Can you handle this kind of attrition? We can, but can you?"

The grave look on Emperor Ying's face also relaxed at this moment, feeling much more at ease.

"Once we've figured out the right way to fight, it's simple."

At that moment, Luo Yu stopped dodging because he had almost fully observed the tactics of these two strange creatures.

Standing his ground, he faced the assault of the nine great Black Dragons…
