287. Chapter 287: Gu Yuan's Ambition!

At this moment,

Gu Fei stood at the edge of a massive, smoke-filled crater, his gaze burning as he stared at the devastation before him.

At this moment, within a radius of several miles, not a blade of grass remained, and the earth was split open, as if it had suffered a heavenly tribulation.

Such a spectacular sight is rarely seen across the entire continent.

Those who didn't know better would think some hellish natural disaster had just occurred here. Gu Fei closed his eyes slightly, feeling the surging power within his body.

The strike just now had far exceeded his expectations.

Even he had not anticipated that this shockwave would be so formidable!!!

"System, check the attribute panel."

Gu Fei's lips curled upward. He thought to himself.

The next moment, an illusory light screen unfolded before his eyes: 【Buddha Fury Fire Lotus: Heaven Tier Mid Level. When unleashed, it fuses four different types of Exotic Fire, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth...】

【Evaluation: Initial creation stage, infinite potential.】

"Fusing four Exotic Fires at the initial creation stage already reaches Heaven Tier Mid Level. If I were to fuse eight, ten, or even more Exotic Fires, the power of this Battle Technique would likely surpass Heaven Tier Late Stage directly!"

A flash of brilliance appeared in Gu Fei's eyes, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

What kind of concept was that? At this rate, it probably wouldn't take long. The next moment, Gu Fei took a deep breath, a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes. Although he now possessed enough Emotion Value to directly upgrade the grade of this Battle Technique, he did not intend to do so.

Gu Fei believed that, relying on his own ability, he could fully develop this Battle Technique to that realm, or even higher.

"Looks like I still have to keep trying!"

Gu Fei gave a low shout and began to attempt it once more.

This time, Gu Fei intended to fuse five types of Exotic Fire directly.

He formed seals with his hands, and five Exotic Fires of different colors slowly condensed in his palms. Golden-red, ghostly blue, cyan, pink, plus a touch of profound black—the five Exotic Fires intertwined and spiraled, gradually merging into one.

"Boom!"

A five-colored fire lotus bloomed in Gu Fei's palm, emitting a terrifying pressure that made one's heart palpitate. The strength of that aura was such that even the surrounding space began to distort.

Gu Fei's expression was solemn as he focused all his attention on controlling this fire lotus.

As the number of fused Exotic Fires increased, the difficulty of control grew exponentially.

However, this did not stop Gu Fei's progress. He gritted his teeth and continued to attempt to fuse the sixth Exotic Fire.

The moment the six-colored fire lotus took shape, the entire world seemed to tremble.

That terrifying pressure even alarmed the experts of the Ancient Clan dozens of miles away.

That's right!

It wasn't the power of the explosion; just the pressure alone was enough to make one feel unable to breathe between heaven and earth. The explosion, of course, went without saying.

It was terrifying; several mountain peaks simply vanished. "Still not enough!"

Gu Fei's eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his forehead bulging; he knew he could go even further.

The instant the seventh Exotic Fire was added, Gu Fei felt the Dou Qi in his body like a burst levee, crazily surging toward that Seven-Colored Fire Lotus.

"Condense for me!"

Gu Fei roared, using all his strength to control this violent power. However, this power was simply too terrifying; even with his current cultivation, it was difficult to fully control.

"Boom!"

After a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar, the Seven-Colored Fire Lotus exploded. The terrifying energy swept out like a tsunami, instantly leveling everything within a radius of dozens of miles.

Gu Fei was pushed back repeatedly by this immense force, leaving deep footprints on the ground with every step. He only managed to steady himself after retreating several hundred feet.

The fluctuations did not subside for a long time, and the resulting gale kicked up debris, uprooting trees more than ten miles away in an instant.

Looking back, Gu Fei was stunned for a moment.

The scene at this moment was like purgatory.

Such a sea of fire would likely not subside for several days!!! "Hoo," Gu Fei let out a long breath, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Looking back again, he saw that a massive crater with a diameter of several miles had been blasted into the ground. In the crater, a sea of fire churned, and raging flames soared into the sky, as if they wanted to ignite the entire heavens.

A wave of heat swept across the entire area. "This power..."

Gu Fei muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock; even he had not expected this Battle Technique to be so terrifying.

Just then, two figures appeared out of thin air on the other side of the mountain range.

"This, what on earth is going on?"

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a dignified face—none other than the Ancient Clan Clan Leader, Gu Yuan.

Beside Gu Yuan stood an elderly man with an aged face—it was Gu Lie!

Although Gu Fei was far away, he could naturally feel that the two were currently focusing on him.

Hehe, it seems I still alarmed these two.

Gu Fei's lips curled slightly. "It seems, little Gu Fei is creating a new Battle Technique."

Gu Lie spoke slowly at this moment.

He had watched the entire process from the sidelines just now.

This process was something even Gu Lie felt was rare in a century! "A new Battle Technique?"

"That aura just now made even me feel alarmed. Tell me, what kind of Battle Technique is this?"

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze burning as he stared at Gu Lie. Gu Lie then recounted the origin and cultivation process of the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus that Gu Fei had unleashed.

After listening to Gu Lie's account, Gu Yuan exclaimed in admiration: "Good lad!"

"To have such power upon the initial creation of a Battle Technique—if it were perfected, I fear that even a Nine-Star Dou Saint would be threatened when it is unleashed!"

Gu Yuan could not help but praise.

That was indeed the truth.

After all, just looking at this devastated volcano and the deep pit that could not be extinguished for a long time.

Everyone was very clear.

This move was no joke, "Not bad, if this Battle Technique is practiced to the extreme, it might even rival an Emperor Tier Battle Technique!"

Gu Lie, who was on the side, also nodded repeatedly.

Perhaps because he was too amazed, this sentence praised Gu Fei to the heavens, "My Ancient Clan shall flourish!"

Gu Yuan suddenly spoke, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

With Gu Fei's current combat power.

In the entire Ancient Realm, apart from Gu Yuan, Gu Fei was likely the most powerful.

"It is time to flourish." Gu Lie also smiled, but then sighed, "It is just that the Emperor Path is severed now..."

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Yuan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a touch of melancholy. His talent was not bad either; if it were in the ancient era, he might have had a chance to become an Emperor.

But now, the Emperor Path is severed, and everything has become an extravagant hope, unless one goes to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion. "If we wait until Gu Fei breaks through to Nine-Star Dou Saint, our Ancient Clan might just be able to gather all the Emperor Jade!"

After a moment, Gu Yuan suddenly spoke, a flash of brilliance in his eyes. "Clan Leader, are... are you serious?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Lie was shocked and looked at Gu Yuan in disbelief.

During the years Gu Yuan had been Clan Leader, he had sought stability in everything for the sake of the clan's steady development.

Ever since the Xiao Clan failed back then, Gu Yuan had been pursuing a strategy of steady development, seeking stability in everything, fearing the slightest mistake.

Four words! Steady as an old dog!

Gu Yuan did not answer, only looking intently in the direction of Gu Fei in the distance. (End of chapter)
