Chapter 1163

Including Venerable Tianlan.

The current Venerable Tianlan radiated an extremely cold aura, as if she had turned into a ten-thousand-year-old ice block.

She was now a completely different person from before.

Yet, her gaze also rested on Lin Yan.

In the blink of an eye, the ancient god Niku's attack arrived.

The hammer, countless times larger than Lin Yan's body, slammed toward him with terrifying force.

Compared to his hammer, Lin Yan looked like a tiny ant facing a great mountain.

This disparity in size made everyone hold their breath for Lin Yan!

How could an ant, no matter how strong, possibly block a mountain?

But the next second, all the gods froze.

Because they saw that Niku's terrifying hammer had abruptly halted just before Lin Yan.

No, it wasn't halted!

Rather, the space in front of Lin Yan had suddenly been stretched countless times longer.

Visually, the space before Lin Yan appeared only a few meters away, but in reality, that space had expanded to its utmost limit.

Niku's hammer had not stopped either.

It continued smashing forward within that space, yet could never reach Lin Yan.

Those few meters had become a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers—no matter how hard he struck, he could not get through!

This strange sight left the other gods awestruck!

"How powerful must the Flame Lord's spatial rules be?"

One god said.

"Spatial rules? With this ancient god's power, any spatial rule would be shattered outright. The Flame Lord must be wielding spatial law!"

Another god beside him said.

"Spatial law!"

Ancient God Niku let out a cold snort.

On his forehead, all the stars blazed brighter again.

"Break!"

Ancient God Niku roared.

Immediately, his ancient god power erupted!

"Crack!"

A sound of shattering came.

The next second, the space before Lin Yan shattered like a mirror, scattering into pieces.

"So powerful!"

Seeing this, many gods were stunned!

This ancient god named Niku was indeed terrifyingly strong!

Even a space formed by spatial law could be shattered so quickly!

This strength exceeded the imagination of many gods!

"Die!"

Niku's hammer struck Lin Yan.

But…

The Lin Yan there was merely a shadow!

"Boom!"

Around Ancient God Niku, Xiong Xiong flames suddenly erupted!

The moment the flames rose, a bright new star appeared in the night sky of the Gods' Continent!

"Hmph, flames!"

Ancient God Niku's ancient god power surged, instantly forming a barrier around him that firmly blocked the flames.

He and Ancient God Nier were two different styles.

Ancient God Nier belonged to the type who believed heaven and earth were vast but he was strongest—he hadn't even bothered to learn much about Lin Yan before setting out.

But Ancient God Niku had studied Lin Yan's previous battles thoroughly before departing.

So, Ancient God Niku had already been prepared for this move of Lin Yan's!

Yet he still hadn't anticipated that Lin Yan wasn't releasing flames to attack—he himself was flame!

After blocking the flames, Ancient God Niku roared: "Come out!"

With this shout, a sharp light shot from his eyes!

It was an ultimate technique he gained after becoming a two-star ancient god.

Ancient God Eye!

The Ancient God Eye could pierce all illusions.

Through the Ancient God Eye, Ancient God Niku sought to locate the hidden Lin Yan!

Then he saw…

"You're not an ancient god—you're flame!"

Ancient God Niku finally discovered the secret.

But Lin Yan would not give him a chance to speak it aloud.

Lin Yan instantly activated the spatial law to seal off the surroundings—no one else could hear the words spoken by the Ancient God Niku!

"Boom!"

Flames surged again!

In an instant, the barrier formed around Ancient God Niku by strange Ancient God energy vanished completely.

"Boom!"

Flames surged again; Ancient God Niku's massive Ancient God armor shattered into countless fragments in an instant.

That incredibly sturdy Ancient God armor, at this moment, seemed as if made of sand—suddenly splitting into countless grains.

Though each grain was immensely hard, nearly indestructible, the bonding between these grains had been utterly shattered!

"Broken! Broken!"

Some powerful gods, witnessing the change in the Ancient God armor, cried out in shock!

"What's broken?"

"The Ancient God armor!"

"My heavens!"

"…"

Even Venerable Tianlan, watching from afar, could not help but narrow his eyes slightly!

"Boom!"

Amid the gods' cries of shock, the flames surged once more!

After three surges, Lin Yan's flames finally reached Ancient God Niku's body.

"Ahh!"

Ancient God Niku let out a deafening roar!

He never imagined the Flame Lord was born from flame itself!

And that it was such powerful flame!

This flame was far more terrifying than some flames at the center of the Heavenly Realm's sun!

The barrier he had specifically crafted to block flames could not withstand it for even a second.

His Ancient God armor had been instantly dismantled—by the opponent's method!

Knowingly, the methods to break armor or shields made of divine matter are exceedingly rare among the gods of the Heavenly Realm today!

Even Venerable Tianlan might not know them.

This could be called the Mendedu Sect's exclusive technique.

Without this exclusive technique, only those with overwhelming power—such as becoming a Main God, or a Law Lord nearing Main God status—could shatter divine matter armor through sheer brute force!

Yet now, the Flame Lord had also mastered this method!
