Chapter 174: Fire God Zhu Rong

Destroyed everything around it completely.

Xiao Yi had long been blasted away by that terrifying energy wave, alive or dead unknown.

Leng Yue was also shaken into spitting blood, her face pale as paper.

She clung desperately to a rock, barely avoiding being blown away.

The Live Stream Room's screen shook violently, then dissolved into static.

"The signal's cut!"

"What happened to the Cloud God?"

"Could he be dead?"

The Barrage exploded instantly, countless viewers anxiously waiting for the signal to return.

Deep within the Volcano Crater, Tang Yun and the Fire God's battle continued.

Although Tang Yun's Chaotic Force was powerful, he still lay at a disadvantage against the Fire God.

His clothing had long been torn to shreds, his body covered in wounds, blood flowing continuously.

"Mortal, your strength is indeed impressive, but you are still merely a human."

The Fire God's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"Give up resistance—your fate was sealed long ago."

Tang Yun clenched his teeth, his eyes gleaming with unyielding light.

"If you want my life, see if you have the guts to take it!"

He drew a deep breath, his Chaotic Force surging wildly as he prepared his final attack.

At that moment, a clear phoenix cry echoed from deep within the Volcano Crater.

A crimson giant bird burst upward from the lava, scorching flames cascading like a waterfall.

Melted the surrounding rocks into magma.

"Vermilion Bird?" The Fire God's Giant Eye narrowed slightly, his tone showing concern for the first time.

The crimson giant bird circled above Tang Yun, letting out a clear cry as if answering his call.

Tang Yun looked up at the Vermilion Bird, a faint smile on his lips.

"Looks like today is my lucky day."

He extended his hand; the Vermilion Bird landed gently on his arm, nuzzling his cheek affectionately.

"Old man, do you still think I'm doomed?" Tang Yun taunted the Fire God's Giant Eye.

The Fire God fell silent for a moment, the light in his Giant Eye flickering uncertainly.

"Vermilion Bird, why do you aid this mortal?"

The Vermilion Bird let out a clear cry, its tone brimming with disdain.

"You imprisoned me for a thousand years—today I shall help him erase you utterly!"

"Insolent!"

The Fire God roared, two crimson beams shooting from his Giant Eye, striking Tang Yun and the Vermilion Bird.

Tang Yun thought once, and the Vermilion Bird instantly transformed into a crimson streak, merging into his body.

Tang Yun felt a powerful force surge within him, his body seeming to ignite, flames gushing from his pores.

"Vermilion Bird's Power!"

Tang Yun clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within, his eyes filled with confidence.

"Come, old man—let me see your true strength!"

He became a crimson streak, charging straight into the Fire God's attack.

"Boom!"

Tang Yun's fist collided with the Fire God's crimson light, unleashing a deafening explosion.

This time, Tang Yun was not thrown back—he blocked the Fire God's attack outright.

"Impossible!" The Fire God's Giant Eye was filled with shock.

"How can a mortal possess such overwhelming power?"

"Nothing is impossible," Tang Yun sneered.

"What do you think you are? Do you dare call yourself a god?"

He swung his fist again, crimson punches falling like rain upon the Fire God's Giant Eye, each strike brimming with world-shattering force.

"Aaah!" The Fire God screamed in agony, his Giant Eye trembling violently, as if about to shatter.

The Live Stream Room's signal finally restored.

"Holy shit! Is the Cloud God cheating?"

"Is this even something a human could do?"

"Cloud God is awesome!"

The Barrage exploded instantly, countless viewers stunned by Tang Yun's overwhelming power.

Leng Yue stared at the screen where Tang Yun looked like a Heavenly God Descending, her eyes filled with worship and admiration.

"He's really… so strong…" she murmured, her heart brimming with pride and happiness.

Xiao Yi slowly regained consciousness, and upon seeing this scene, he was left speechless.

"Is this… even a human?" He felt his entire worldview shattered.

Deep within the Volcano Crater, Tang Yun's attacks grew fiercer.

The Fire God's Giant Eye was now riddled with cracks, on the verge of shattering.

"Mortal, you… who exactly are you?"

Zhurong's voice was filled with Fear and despair.

"I'm just an ordinary person."

Tang Yun said calmly. "An ordinary person who doesn't want to be bullied by an old bastard like you."

He swung his final punch, the fiery red fist slamming hard into Zhurong's Giant Eye.

"Crack!"

A sharp sound rang out — Zhurong's Giant Eye finally shattered.

"Aaaah!"

Zhurong let out a piercing scream as his massive body began to collapse, dissolving into countless crimson fragments that scattered into the air.

Tang Yun landed slowly, the flames on his body fading until his exhausted form was revealed.

He looked up at the sky and exhaled a long breath.

"Finally… it's over…"

At that moment, he suddenly felt a powerful suction pulling him — his body helplessly plummeted into the depths of the Volcano Crater.

"What's going on?" Tang Yun's heart leapt; he tried to struggle, but found he couldn't move at all.

He looked down and saw a massive vortex forming deep within the Volcano Crater, radiating an eerie aura.

"Could it be… an even stronger enemy?"

A premonition of doom flashed through Tang Yun's mind.

The depths of the vortex were pitch black, like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast, devouring everything around it.

Tang Yun's body spun uncontrollably downward, the wind howling past his ears like the wails of vengeful spirits.

The Live Stream Room screen shook violently, then dissolved into static, leaving only a shrill buzzing sound.

"The signal's gone!"

Lin Xue'er gasped, her jade hand gripping the Jade Slip tightly, knuckles turning white.

Qin Feng punched the table, his face ashen: "Damn it! What the hell is this place!"

Xiao Yi slumped to the ground, pale as death, muttering to himself: "It's over… Cloud Brother… this time it's really over…"

Leng Yue stared fixedly at the screen, her eyes brimming with worry and Fear.

She felt her heart clutched tightly by an invisible hand, making it nearly impossible to breathe.

Within the vortex, Tang Yun felt his consciousness gradually blur, as if falling into an endless abyss.

The Chaos Medical Qi within him surged wildly, trying to resist the eerie suction — but it vanished like mud thrown into the sea, utterly useless.

After what felt like an eternity, Tang Yun felt himself crash hard onto the ground, pain searing through his entire body.

He struggled to open his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar space.

The sky here was blood-red, heavy clouds hanging low as if ready to crush down at any moment.

The ground was black rock, barren and lifeless, the air thick with a pungent stench of blood.

"Where is this?" Tang Yun painfully pushed himself up, scanning his surroundings, his mind filled with confusion and wariness.
