Chapter 1175

Because not only did Lin Yan kill the evil god.

Under that explosive surge, the flames directly burned over his body.

Within this flame, Dalong Dazun felt the power of the Flame Dao!

And just now, it was the Flame Dao that easily destroyed his nine Ice Pearls!

"This Venerable refuses to believe your flames can burn divine substance!"

Dalong Dazun snorted lightly and slammed a punch into the sky.

There, he instantly punched out a hollow; Dalong Dazun stepped forward and entered the hollow.

"Where did they go?"

Some Heavenly Realm deities wondered.

That hollow did not vanish—it remained there, pitch-black, its destination unknown.

The observing Heavenly Realm deities dared not follow.

They all feared being caught in the crossfire.

At this moment, they saw Venerable Tianlan move.

Venerable Tianlan leapt into the hollow.

"Follow quickly!"

As soon as Venerable Tianlan moved, the other Heavenly Realm deities followed one after another.

Upon entering the hollow, these Heavenly Realm deities arrived at a completely new place.

This place was… the sea!

Yes, even the Heavenly Realm had seas!

But the seawater of the Heavenly Realm differed from that of the Continent of Gods—it was extraordinarily special; on the Continent of Gods, it would be standard heavy water.

The beings living in the Heavenly Realm's ocean were not ordinary deities.

They were deities born from the ocean itself!

This was also a place few Heavenly Realm deities dared to visit.

On the Continent of Gods, oceanic life had very little interaction with terrestrial life.

In the Heavenly Realm, deities born from the ocean had similarly minimal interaction with those born on the Continent of Gods!

The Heavenly Realm deities wished to trade resources with the oceanic deities, but the oceanic deities operated as their own system and paid little heed to the Heavenly Realm deities.

This was the domain of the powerful Primordial Deity, the Ocean Goddess!

These Heavenly Realm deities had not expected Dalong Dazun to flee into the Heavenly Realm's ocean!

Dalong Dazun's body still burned with flames; that terrifying heat caused vast stretches of the Heavenly Realm's ocean water to evaporate.

The Heavenly Realm's ocean was immense, boundless, and of unknown depth; even Dalong Dazun's star-shattering size made him no more than a pebble in a river.

Yet even this vast Heavenly Realm ocean was evaporating at a terrifying rate under the flames.

In just a short time, the area evaporated from the Heavenly Realm's ocean reached the size of several divine domains!

Countless lifeforms in the Heavenly Realm's ocean, equivalent to Holy Spirits, had no time to cry out before perishing!

"Oh no! Dalong Dazun means to drag everyone down with him! If this continues, even the Heavenly Realm's ocean may be boiled dry—when the Flame Lord wins, he'll become the enemy of every ocean deity, and even the Ocean Goddess may rage!"

One deity's face showed worry.

In fact, many oceanic deities had already emerged.

But upon seeing Dalong Dazun and that terrifying flame, none dared approach.

"What is that?"

Far away, a goddess with a fish tail leapt into the sky; her tail dissolved, transforming into legs.

She was clearly a mermaid who had become a deity!

Even farther away, other colossal deities—once sea monsters from the oceans of the Continent of Gods—loomed.

Life in the ocean was bizarre and strange; not all life possessed wisdom, and relatively few did.

But the ocean was so vast that the absolute number of sentient lifeforms was still considerable.

Though it was far harder for oceanic life to attain godhood than for humans, their sheer numbers meant the total count of oceanic deities was not much smaller.

"That deity is enormous—what is that flame? If this continues, the ocean will dry up!"

The mermaid goddess's lovely face showed concern.

"You have one day. If you can't burn me alive in one day, the Heavenly Realm's ocean will be completely evaporated—then wait for the Ocean Goddess's revenge, hahaha!"

Dalong Dazun laughed loudly.

The other deities were right.

After exhausting all his methods, Dalong Dazun realized he could neither escape nor overcome the Flame Lord, so he chose to flee into the Heavenly Realm's ocean.

But this was not a suicide pact!

It was not Dalong Dazun who was burning the ocean!

Even if the Ocean Goddess's wrath erupted, the first target would not be Dalong Dazun.

It would be the Flame Lord!

Wars between other deities would not devastate the Heavenly Realm's ocean to this degree.

Only the Flame Lord possessed such power.

Moreover, Dalong Dazun was confident that even if the Ocean Goddess raged, he could survive.

Because he was still useful!

Or rather, the Ancient Gods were still useful!

Had the Ancient Gods not done their utmost to stop it, the Heavenly Realm would have birthed at least one or two more Primordial Deities over these countless years.

Then the power of the other main gods will surely be diluted!

Of course, he wasn't one hundred percent certain—after all, who knew how the Ocean Goddess might think?

"No need for a day—right now, you can die!"

At this moment, Lin Yan's voice rang out.

"Want to kill me? You're not worthy!"

Du Long Dazun snorted.

Lin Yan fell silent; arguing at this point held little meaning.

"As long as your Flame Rule hasn't reached 100%, you won't even think of destroying my skin!"

As Du Long Dazun spoke, his body, sized like shattered stars, continued leaping through the ocean of the Heavenly Realm—each leap evaporated a vast expanse of ocean!

"Is that so?"

Lin Yan's cold voice rang out.

Immediately, under the drive of divine power, the Flame Rule erupted.

In the instant the Flame Rule erupted, Lin Yan ruthlessly activated the two grams of Void Matter he had obtained after completely burning the Void Beast!

Void Matter was exceedingly rare.

For any other god—even if that god were a Rule Master—after killing the Void Beast created by the Demon Soul Zunzhu, they could never obtain Void Matter!

Only Lin Yan, by completely burning the Void Beast to ashes, could obtain those two grams of Void Matter!

For a Rule Master, destroying the Void Beast was easy—but obtaining those two grams of Void Matter was virtually impossible!

Even a Rule Master who mastered the Flame Rule found it difficult, because their flames could not burn the Void Beast clean, and they struggled to detect Void Matter at all.

In fact, there were no records of Void Matter in the current Heavenly Realm.

Even some who had reached the fourth tier of Rule Master status had no knowledge of such a thing as Void Matter!

Lin Yan had tested it: Void Matter was indeed a substance one level higher than Divine Matter.

This did not mean Void Matter could destroy Divine Matter.

Rather, it could induce certain changes in Divine Matter.

For example…

A breach!

"Boom!"

Under the surging flames, the two grams of Void Matter became the tip of a flame-blade, stabbing violently into Du Long Zunzhu's skin.

Du Long Dazun's expression instantly changed.

This change was not merely one of grimacing discomfort!

It was a sudden, panicked terror!
