Chapter 1180

The methods used by Du Long Zunzhu before were equally terrifyingly powerful.

Those nine ice pearls, any single one of them, was enough to threaten a Law Lord!

Aside from the nine ice pearls, Du Long Zunzhu's cold flame was also terrifyingly potent!

A single cold flame could destroy multiple Divine Realms!

Even veteran Law Lords could not withstand it!

Yet it was swallowed whole by the Flame Lord!

Du Long Zunzhu's power was equally terrifyingly strong— one punch erased all things, effortlessly shattering space and destroying laws, yet could not destroy the flame!

Instead, the flame burned onto his body!

Du Long Zunzhu then used a forbidden demonic artifact; when the Demonic God intervened, he too was instantly slain by the Flame Lord!

More astonishingly, Du Long Zunzhu, whose skin was composed of divine matter and had not a single weakness across his entire body, was breached by the Flame Lord and burned to ashes!

The Flame Lord's power had already filled the heavenly gods watching with dread!

This kind of power was truly invincible strength!

No matter what kind of enemy came, one died, two died as a pair!

"Look quickly!"

On the side of the Ocean Gods, though some Ocean Gods did not know the reasons behind this battle, seeing the colossal Du Long Zunzhu, as large as a shattered star, burned to ash in a short time, they were all stunned beyond words!

Many Ocean Gods did not have human forms.

They were bizarrely shaped.

After all, they had evolved from oceanic life into gods.

Oceanic life was also quite unique.

In the entire ocean, more than half were life forms without intelligence.

Only a small number were intelligent oceanic life forms.

Of course, ordinary fish, if given sufficient energy to grow, could gain some intelligence after becoming powerful.

Moreover, the powers wielded by Ocean Gods differed significantly from those of Heavenly Gods.

But Ocean Gods still belonged to the Heavenly Realm's faction.

They merely formed their own unified whole and rarely communicated with Heavenly Gods.

Their life forms were too different, and indeed had little reason to communicate.

After seeing Du Long Zunzhu burned to ashes, these Ocean Gods all turned their gazes toward the flame.

"Is that the Flame Lord? Could the Flame Lord really just be a flame?"

One Ocean God said.

These Oceanic life forms, who knew little of Lin Yan, had inadvertently spoken the truth.

Lin Yan, indeed, was nothing but a flame!

Near that Ocean God, the mermaid goddess also gazed curiously at the flame.

Now, Lin Yan's flame was no longer small—it was as large as a shattered star.

But it was no longer as terrifying as in the Dark Abyss.

In the Dark Abyss, Lin Yan had transformed into a colossal holy flame sun—that was truly enormous!

"This flame is incredibly hot!"

Another oceanic life form said.

Now, the surrounding seawater had been held back by the Ocean Gods' divine power; otherwise, the seawater would have rushed back and instantly evaporated.

Not even steam would have formed.

Of course, far away, the entire Heavenly Ocean was filled with rising mist!

The boiling point of the Heavenly Ocean's water was naturally not one hundred degrees—its water density was immense, its pressure immense; it required at least a thousand degrees to boil.

Centered on Lin Yan's flame, a vast hollow had formed within the Heavenly Ocean!

Around this hollow, numerous Ocean Gods kept appearing, all stunned by the scene.

And once they understood what had happened, they would be even more astonished!

After leveling up, Lin Yan observed his transformation, then suddenly retracted his flame and assumed his divine form!

His flame form was peculiar; though by now, some powerful gods might have guessed his true nature.

But the later he revealed it, the better.

That way, he could avoid being targeted!

After transforming into his divine form, Lin Yan stood still in midair, as if waiting for something.

"Look quickly!"

One Ocean God pointed at the flame.

The other Ocean Gods all turned to look.

Then they saw the flame rapidly contracting!

In a short time, the entire flame gathered into one point—and a tall, handsome man appeared!

Instantly, all the Ocean Gods fixed their gazes on Lin Yan!

Though Ocean Gods' aesthetics differed somewhat from those of Heavenly Gods, to these Ocean Gods, Lin Yan now radiated brilliant light, like the brightest star, his glow dazzlingly intense.

Some female Ocean Gods' eyes instantly brightened.

Especially the mermaid goddess.

This mermaid goddess had originally believed the Flame Lord was truly just a flame.

She had never imagined she would see the flame finally transform into a man!

In the eyes of this mermaid deity, brightness instantly flared!

Time passed slowly.

Around them, the Heavenly Realm deities and the Ocean deities alike were buzzing with murmurs.

Some Ocean deities carried the news they'd received from the Heavenly Realm deities back to their own kind.

More Ocean deities learned of the Flame Lord's deeds!

"So he is this powerful!"

The mermaid deity listened to the murmurs of the surrounding Ocean deities, thinking silently.

She did not join in the Ocean deities' chatter; she merely listened in silence.

But her gaze never left Lin Yan.

Her gaze grew ever brighter.

"What is he waiting for?"

The mermaid deity thought again.

It wasn't just her who was curious.

Other deities were curious too.

"Is the Flame Lord waiting for another Ancient God to arrive?"

A Heavenly Realm deity said.

"Four-star Ancient Gods have been killed. I just heard that the strongest among the Ancient Gods are the five-star ones—those nearly approaching the level of a Main God. I wonder if a five-star Ancient God will come."

"Five-star Ancient Gods… if four-star ones are this powerful, what would five-star ones be like? If a five-star Ancient God truly comes, can the Flame Lord handle it?"

"…"

After learning of the threat posed by the Ancient Gods, some deities had already regarded them as potential enemies.

Though they were still ten thousand miles away from Main God status, deep within their hearts, they still held a trace of longing, a glimmer of hope!

But the Ancient Gods had severed the hope of every deity becoming a Main God!

The Heavenly Realm deities naturally wished the Ancient Gods would all perish!

Thus, many Heavenly Realm deities no longer viewed the scene with mere curiosity.

They genuinely began to worry for Lin Yan.

These Heavenly Realm deities all hoped Lin Yan would kill as many Ancient Gods as possible.

But if the Ancient God who arrived surpassed Lin Yan's strength, it would be disastrous!

Many Heavenly Realm deities, upon imagining the possibility of a five-star Ancient God's arrival, fell silent and focused their senses on the surroundings.

Yet a full quarter-hour passed without any movement!

"He probably won't come!"
