Chapter 1078: Chu Kuangren, Don’t Try Anything Foolish, Refining The Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame
“Don’t stand in my way!”
Chu Kuangren unleashed his Phoenix’s Flame, killing those Lin clan’s Immortals to a pulp! Then, he stepped into the Heavenly Blaze Palace.
In the Heavenly Blaze Palace, a blood-red flame lotus the size of a human head was suspended in the air, emanating an incomparably powerful flame energy fluctuation.
It was the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
Around the Karmic Flame, Lin Zhaotian and other Earthen Immortal elders were setting up a formation. They were trying to take the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame by force.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded. A young man in white was walking slowly into the Heavenly Blaze Palace with a few people, and he had a mischievous look on his face.
The sight of that person shocked Lin Zhaotian and the others.
“It’s him, Chu Kuangren!”
“D*mn. Why is he here?!”
“It’s the Fire Dragon Cloak. They came here with the Fire Dragon Cloak. We should have grabbed the Fire Dragon Cloak in the first place.”
Lin Zhaotian and others looked grim.
They wanted to take action against Chu Kuangren. However, they were at the critical moment of taking the Karmic Flame for themselves, so they could not make a move.
“Chu Kuangren, leave now, and the grievance between you and the Lin clan will be written off!” Lin Zhaotian shouted.
“Hah! You may want to write it off but not me.”
Then, Chu Kuangren raised his hand to unleash his Phoenix’s Flame.
Lin Zhaotian’s expression changed. He withdrew some of his Immortal’s Core and unleashed a stream of divine fire. When the two flames collided, fire currents spread everywhere.
Lin Zhaotian spit a mouthful of blood, and his heart sank. As he was in the midst of taking the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame, he could not attack with all his strength.
“Chu Kuangren, don’t try anything foolish. Once we withdraw our strength, the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame energy will leak. Then, you might not be able to withstand it even if you have the Fire Dragon Cloak.”
“That’s right. Leave now. You don’t want to do something that’ll harm yourself!”
“Brother Chu, although you have a grudge with the Lin clan, we admire you very much. There is no need for you to sacrifice your life here.”
Lin Zhaotian and others quickly persuaded Chu Kuangren.
However, under their gaze, Chu Kuangren raised his hand again and pointed his middle finger at them.
Lin Zhaotian and others could not tell what it meant, but they felt they had been insulted.
In the next instant, Chu Kuangren stretched his palm out, and his Phoenix’s Flame, which was even more violent than before, rushed toward Lin Zhaotian and others.
“You lunatic!”
“D*mn it! Hurry up and leave!”
Lin Zhaotian and others cursed angrily, but they could not remain indifferent to Chu Kuangren’s attack. Therefore, they withdrew their power from collecting the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame and joined forces to resist the Phoenix’s Flame.
Having lost their suppression, the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame erupted, and a large amount of Karmic Flame spread in the four directions like a huge red lotus.
A Lin clan elder was affected by the impact, and his body burned to ashes on the spot as the fire-proofing pill’s medicinal effect on his body wore out.
The rest of the people retreated by breaking through the Heavenly Blaze Palace’s ceiling and dashing afar frantically for fear of being affected by the Karmic Flame.
However, even though they escaped at the fastest speed, they were still burned by the Karmic Flame, and blood-red flames began to erupt from their bodies. Terrified, they hurriedly suppressed the fire by channeling a more powerful Immortal’s Core.
“D*mn you, Chu Kuangren. Is this madman looking for death?”
“D*mn it. D*mn it!”
“We fell short, and we’ve lost a few Immortals. D*mn it. Chu Kuangren, the Lin clan will make you pay for this!”
Deep down, Lin Zhaotian and others felt so humiliated, and they hated Chu Kuangren so much.
“Let’s head back to expel the Karmic Flame in our bodies.”
“D*mn it.”
With that, everyone in the Lin clan left in embarrassment. Although they had looted a lot of good things in the Thousand Flame Valley, none of them were as good as one-tenth of the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
The plan had been in motion for a long time, and they had consumed countless workforce and resources just to collect the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
They had also lost many Immortals in the process, yet they failed to get the Karmic Flame. Considering that they could not even offset their loss, all the work they had done was a waste.
Inside the Heavenly Blaze Palace, the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame energy spread while Chu Kuangren and others bore the brunt. The Fire Dragon around them roared and tried its best to resist the burning Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
Unfortunately, it gradually showed signs of failing.
At that, Chu Kuangren walked out of the Fire Dragon Cloak protection, startling He Fei and He Yun.
“No, Master!”
However, Chu Kuangren waved his hand to them, indicating that they did not have to worry. The next moment, he stepped into the Karmic Flame, which completely engulfed him, and the sinful karma on his body was instantly ignited.
Did Chu Kuangren have a lot of sinful karma?
Yes, he did.
Besides killing countless sky-prides and Immortals, he had also destroyed civilizations.
As soon as he felt the burning sensation of sinful karma, his body was ignited. Then, he transformed into a flaming man and merged with the Karmic Flame.
“As expected of the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame. It really is extraordinary.”
He could feel that his body was about to collapse.
One thing worth noting was that even the Earthen Immortal could not harm him, but he was about to collapse under the Karmic Flame.
“You’re just a flame without a master, and you can’t fully exert your power,” said Chu Kuangren indifferently.
Following that, the Phoenix’s Flame in his body erupted. The golden-red Phoenix’s Flame devoured all the Karmic Flame around him and then engulfed the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
The Phoenix’s Flame enveloped the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame in the blink of an eye. Its characteristics of devouring myriad flames were activated!
Chu Kuangren had never failed in devouring other flames with the Phoenix’s Flame, but this time, he encountered a resistance that he had never felt before.
While burning in the Phoenix’s Flame, the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame intertwined with the Phoenix’s Flame, trying to destroy it in turn.
“Interesting, but your stubborn resistance can’t change your destiny.”
Chu Kuangren mobilized his Immortal’s Core to its limit.
Immediately, the power of the Phoenix’s Flame increased again!
Not only that but the Ultimate Almighty Source Physique was also activated, releasing magnificent energy to suppress the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
Under the suppression of that Daoist Physique, the arrogant Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame weakened, and the Phoenix’s Flame began to refine it.
With that, the rest of the Karmic Flame in the Heavenly Blaze Palace dissipated.
He Yun looked at Chu Kuangren with awe. “That’s so powerful. I couldn’t even refine the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame with my Heavenly Immortal cultivation, yet Master could achieve it with the Earthen Immortal cultivation!”
“By the way, what was the Daoist Physique fluctuation just now? It’s so terrifying that it made me shudder.”
After all, Lin Zhaotian and others were here to collect the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame but not refine it.
However, Chu Kuangren had single-handedly refined the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame and accomplished what the Li clan and He Yun could not achieve.
Compared to He Yun’s shock, Lan Yu remained indifferent to it.
‘Isn’t it just refining divine fire? What’s the surprise?’
In her opinion, it was no surprise that Chu Kuangren could do such a thing.
As the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame was refined, the rest of the Karmic Flame scattered in the Thousand Flame Valley lost their power source and gradually disappeared.
Many could guess what was going on the moment they witnessed the scene.
“The Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame has been refined.”
“Who did that?”
“Was it the Lin clan? I saw the Lin Clan Leader, Lin Zhaotian, here with a few Earthen Immortals. They must have come for the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.”
“Tsk tsk. The Lin clan was the one who discovered the Thousand Flame Valley too. It seems like they’ve been planning this for a long time. The Lin clan already has a lot of divine flame tinder, but now that they’ve gotten their hands on the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame, they’ll be even more powerful.”
