Chapter 242: The Power of Divine Power

The plump woman Lin Tang and Lin Yueru were also stunned, unable to say a word for a moment.

At this moment, the big black cat ahead seemed to notice that the four trailing behind had fallen behind, so it immediately stopped its feline steps.

Then it tilted its head, with a pair of green eyes staring back at the four who stood like wooden statues, and meowed a few times in urging.

Hearing the cat's meow, Lin Tang and Lin Yueru finally came to their senses.

They naturally understood the big black cat's meaning; the two exchanged a glance and immediately spoke urgently:

"Little sister, you must not go any further; it is dangerous there!"

Previously, they had planned to take advantage of the clash between the Great Li Tianjin Guard and the Luoshenfeng Sect to sneak into the main peak of the Luoshenfeng Sect while the waters were muddy.

In fact, Li Musheng's earlier intervention had indeed given the four of them great hope.

But now, with Master Chihuo's intervention, all hope seemed to be shattered in an instant.

Moreover, they now felt only fear deep in their hearts, wanting to retreat immediately and stay far away from the territory of the Luoshenfeng Sect.

At this time, the big black cat meowed a few times, appearing extremely displeased; hearing this, the two Lin sisters' expressions became even more anxious, and they said:

"Little sister, you have seen it too; the strength of the Luoshenfeng Sect far exceeds our imagination. The Great Li Tianjin Guard cannot possibly be their match."

"Even that Imperial Prince with his astonishing Martial Way cultivation, in the face of such innate divine power and terrifying strength, would have absolutely no chance of victory."

At this moment, the old man Wu Yong and the scholar Sui Zhen finally came to their senses from their shock.

After hearing the words of the two Lin sisters, they immediately spoke in turn, persuading the big black cat not to be stubborn.

However, the big black cat glared at the four with its green cat eyes and simply ignored their persuasion.

It turned, leaped up, and directly dove into the bushes ahead, disappearing toward the direction of the Hundred Refinements City.

Seeing this, the two Lin sisters both showed anxious expressions; obviously afraid that their little sister would come to harm, they gritted their teeth and were just about to follow.

However, the old man Wu Yong stopped them, saying:

"Do not act impulsively. At this moment, that Hundred Refinements City is absolutely not a place we can go; we must leave immediately."

The scholar Sui Zhen also hurriedly persuaded:

"Mo Mo is different from us; even if she goes, nothing will happen to her. You should know her capabilities better than we do."

Hearing this, Lin Tang and Lin Yueru finally stopped, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not continue to follow.

"Let us leave here first."

The old man Wu Yong's face looked rather unpleasant at this moment; their journey was destined to return without success.

The two Lin sisters glanced in the direction where the big black cat had disappeared, sighed, and also knew that the plan to infiltrate the Luoshenfeng Sect this time was now impossible; immediately, they retreated along with the two old men.

Above the Hundred Refinements City, after Master Chihuo revealed his blurry figure shrouded in flames.

With merely a stomp of his foot, endless flame vortices stretched in all directions, turning the entire dark sky above into a burning sea of crimson fire.

In an instant, everyone in the Hundred Refinements City below could feel the temperature inside the city suddenly skyrocket, experiencing the sensation of being roasted by a heavenly furnace.

"Is it you who killed the Zhang Sect's senior brother's disciple?"

The blurry flame figure looked down at Li Musheng on the roof of the Hundred Incense Pavilion; the golden flames in his eyes flickered ceaselessly, and the air around him distorted and swayed.

Li Musheng gazed at the sea of fire covering the sky above, carefully observing while slightly raising an eyebrow.

This was the third time he had witnessed a divine being act; the previous two, whether the possessed old woman before or the eldest disciple of the Luoshenfeng Sect.

Although the innate divine powers of the two were strange, perhaps due to their abilities being somewhat lacking, neither possessed the might seen before his eyes.

And the ability mastered by this expert of the Luoshenfeng Sect before him was clearly fire.

The divine power he controlled was also extremely strong, and the strength displayed was far superior to that of Murong Xiaoya.

This also made Li Musheng realize that the innate divine powers mastered by divine beings were actually not inferior to the might of the Martial Way.

Even in some aspects, innate divine powers were stronger than the Martial Way Divine Technique.

Take the opponent's fire-controlling ability before his eyes; being able to command such a vast range of flame power was something neither the "Blazing Fire Divine Palm" nor the "Bathing in Fire Divine Fist" could achieve.

Moreover, Li Musheng discovered through observation that the innate divine powers controlled by divine beings seemed to reach the level of the Heaven-and-Mortal Realm from the very beginning.

Of course, this did not mean that divine beings possessed the strength of Heaven-and-Mortal experts from birth.

Rather, the way they used their abilities was actually similar to how Heaven-and-Mortal Realm experts controlled the true qi of heaven and earth; it was itself a "realm" of "using humans to command the power of heaven and earth."

It was just that this "realm" was an innate talent unique to divine beings; they did not need to spend a vast amount of time comprehending it like cultivating the Martial Way, progressing from Postnatal to Prenatal and then to Heaven-and-Mortal.

"Indeed very interesting."

Li Musheng stared at the blurry flame figure seemingly transcending the sky, feeling the opponent's unique method of controlling the vast sea of fire, and suddenly gained a deeper understanding of this extraordinary ability that differed from the Martial Way.

At this time, that blurry figure saw that Li Musheng did not answer his question but merely stared blankly and muttered to himself.

He showed no emotional fluctuation; flames swirled and flickered around him, and he spoke indifferently:

"If you do not answer, I shall take it as your admission."

Master Chihuo clearly had no intention of asking further questions.

In his eyes, even though this young man beneath him had acted to kill Zheng Yunfeng, the peak master of the Hundred Refinements Peak, and his own junior nephew, he did not place him in his eyes; with a mere wave of his hand, he could reduce him to ashes.

And in the next moment, the blurry flame figure slowly raised his hand.

Instantly, rings of fire spiraled into existence, refracting distorted crimson halos in the night sky, and then descended toward Li Musheng below.

However, Li Musheng sat on the roof of the Hundred Incense Pavilion, completely unmoved.

He continued merely observing Master Chihuo's attack, while all the falling fire ring spirals disintegrated three feet above his head, turning into flowing fire and vanishing.

Seeing this, the blurry figure suspended in the sea of fire nodded slightly and said faintly:

"Not bad. To block one of my attacks, it seems it is indeed you."

Having said this, molten gold patterns began to flow through the flames surrounding him, then burst forth into hundreds and thousands of fire crows, trailing brilliant white light, and surged toward Li Musheng below.

However, Li Musheng remained seated on the pavilion roof, not moving an inch.

All the fire crows, just like before, vanished three feet above his head, unable to harm him even slightly.

Seeing this, the blurry figure in the sea of fire above clearly paused for a moment.

Then, he raised his hand again; crimson flames radiating terrifying heat flowed between his blurry fingers, emitting a shrill shriek.

In the next instant, it suddenly appeared above Li Musheng's head.

The speed of the crimson flame was countless times faster than the previous fire ring and fire crows; afterimages even turned into five burning, seemingly indestructible crimson marks in the void.

However, even so, it remained imprisoned three feet away and vanished into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
