Chapter 488

A Pyrrhic Victory

An earth-shattering explosion rang out, causing the entire hall to shake violently. The surrounding walls, which were as hard as steel, were finally completely shattered at this moment, revealing the deep passageway outside.

The blood barrier and the tricolor lotus collided in the end. The intensity of the double explosion had completely exceeded Zhuowen and Lv Yongsheng's expectations.

The space around the hall completely collapsed at that moment, forming an oval-shaped region of vacuum.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! In the end, the hall was split into two regions. One was the region of the blood-red explosion, while the other was the region of the tricolor flames. The two huge balls of energy were locked in a stalemate in the air of the hall.

"The little bastard's tricolor lotus has actually blocked the explosion of the Blood Demon Flurry Eyes?"

Lv Yongsheng's eyes widened as he stared at the tricolor flames in the air. He clenched his fists tightly. In order to unleash the Blood Demon Flurry Eyes, he had basically used up all of his battle prowess.

If he couldn't even finish off Zhuo Wen with the Blood Demon Flurry Dance Eyes, it was very likely that he would end up in a tie with Zhuo Wen in the last round. Given Lv Yongsheng's arrogance, how could he tolerate such an outcome?

"I refuse to believe that Zhuowen's tricolor lotus can last for too long. After all, the explosion of the Blood Demon Flurry Eyes is continuous. It won't vanish so quickly. As long as the energy of the tricolor lotus vanishes completely, the scales of victory will probably belong to me."

Lv Yongsheng was unwilling to give up when he saw the two balls of energy locked in a stalemate in the air. However, he did not lose confidence. He was extremely confident in the power of his Blood Demon Flurry Eyes' explosion.

On the other side of the hall, Zhuo Wen slowly stood up. At this moment, his originally bloody hands had basically recovered quite a bit. With the powerful life force provided by the Hades King's Heart, Zhuo Wen's recovery ability was extremely terrifying.

"Lv Yongsheng's desperate move really is extraordinary. Even the tricolor lotus can't completely crush it?

However, we have to end this quickly. We can't let this drag on any longer. "

Frowning slightly, Zhuowen's eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness. The Ice Fire Saint Symbol on the back of his hands lit up again. Then, a strange blood-red flame gathered in his left hand and an extreme cold gathered in his right hand. Zhuowen decided to use another dose of strong medicine.

"Fortunately, I have the support of the Netherworld King's heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to use the Icy Fire Holy Talisman again."

Muttering to himself, Zhuowen skillfully combined the blood flames and extreme cold. Soon, a budding blood lotus slowly appeared in Zhuowen's palm, and a powerful aura instantly burst out.

"Hmm?"

As if he'd noticed the aura of the blood colored lotus, Lv Yongsheng frowned slightly. He turned his head and instantly saw the strange blood colored lotus in Zhuo Wen's palm, causing his entire body to tremble and be stunned on the spot.

"This … how can this guy still use such a move?"

Lv Yongsheng began to stutter. His eyes were fixed on the blood lotus in Zhuowen's palm, and there was fear in the depths of his eyes. The tricolor lotus just now had appeared from Zhuowen's palm.

Now, another similar blood lotus had appeared. How could Lv Yongsheng not be terrified?

The power of the tricolor lotus was comparable to the self-destruction of the Blood Demon Flurry Eyes. Although the aura of the blood lotus was not comparable to the tricolor lotus, it was still extremely terrifying.

If the blood lotus exploded like the tricolor lotus just now, the balance of the two stalemate energies in the void would be broken instantly.

Is Zhuowen still human?

Does such a terrifying move not have any backlash?

This guy can actually use it again.

At that moment, Lv Yongsheng began to curse in his heart. Zhuowen's performance is too abnormal. He has so many trump cards.

Whoosh!

A blood-red lotus abruptly shot out from Zhuo Wen's palm. It tore through space and finally blasted into the two clumps of energy that were locked in a stalemate. Soon after, an incomparably huge blood-red lotus slowly bloomed in the air, followed by an even more intense explosion.

With the help of the blood lotus, the explosion area of the tricolor lotus in the void instantly expanded, completely suppressing the blood explosion area.

After a while, the explosion area was completely annihilated by the tricolor lotus.

Puchi!

Lv Yongsheng spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale, and his whole body flew out like a withered leaf. At that moment, his face was filled with the color of death. In the end, he did not expect that he would actually be defeated. Moreover, he was defeated by Zhuowen, whom he had looked down on previously.

"Lv Yongsheng!

Be a good boy and accept your death. "

A loud voice rolled out. Zhuowen waved his right hand, and the earth-shattering explosion in the void suddenly fell, directly blasting towards Lv Yongsheng who was not far away.

If Lv Yongsheng was hit by the explosion, even if he had nine lives, it would not be enough.

"Damn it!

Zhuowen, you'd better remember this. "

Lv Yongsheng's expression was extremely unsightly when he saw the explosion in the void descending towards him. He tapped his right palm, directly abandoning the Heaven Rank Imprint, and directly teleported away in a beam of light.

Whoosh!

Zhuowen waved his right hand, and the extremely terrifying explosion in the void suddenly disappeared. At the same time, he flipped his palm, and the golden Heaven Rank Imprint appeared in his palm.

"It seems that Lv Yongsheng is afraid in the end." Xiao Hei's voice suddenly echoed in his mind, and there was a trace of schadenfreude in her voice.

Puchi!

Zhuowen spat out a mouthful of blood, and soon after, a terrifying blood mist burst out from the surface of Zhuowen's body. Zhuowen directly knelt on the ground with a dispirited expression.

"Kid!

Are you alright? "

Xiao Hei did not expect Zhuowen to suddenly spit out blood, and hurriedly asked in a worried manner.

Shaking his head, Zhuowen bitterly smiled and said, "I used the Holy Symbol of Icy Fire twice in a row, and even used the overloaded tricolor lotus. The backlash has already taken effect."

At this moment, Zhuowen's entire body trembled, and blood flowed from his body like a faucet that was not turned on properly. Even with the terrifying recovery ability of the Hell King's Heart, Zhuowen's injuries were still not light.

Suddenly, a golden light emerged from Zhuowen's chest, and soon after, Zhuowen felt a cooling energy surge from his heart to his entire body. In an instant, the exhaustion and pain in his body actually decreased by a lot.

He frowned slightly. Only now did he notice that strands of golden energy had actually surged out from his heart, spreading throughout his body through his meridians.

Zhuo Wen was no stranger to this energy. It was the three droplets of essence blood he had obtained in the last round. Although Zhuo Wen had absorbed most of the essence blood, his cultivation level was too low, so he hadn't been able to absorb all of it. As a result, a portion of the energy had been stored in his heart in case he needed it.

However, he had never thought that Zhuowen's injuries would instead activate the essence blood energy stored in his heart.

As the essence blood energy constantly flowed through his meridians, Zhuowen felt indescribably comfortable. It was numb, itchy, and warm.

Fifteen minutes later, all the remaining essence blood energy in his heart had actually been completely absorbed by Zhuowen. Miraculously, Zhuowen discovered that most of his injuries had healed, and his aura had become slightly stronger. He had probably reached the level of a half-step ultimate emperor. He was only half a step away from becoming an ultimate emperor.

"Right now, as long as you have enough external energy, you'll probably be able to undergo the three heavenly tribulations immediately and reach the ultimate emperor realm!"

Xiao Hei had also sensed the changes in Zhuowen's body. Her voice contained a sliver of praise. Clearly, she was quite satisfied that Zhuowen's cultivation had increased again.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhuo Wen nodded seriously and said, "Yes!

As long as I still have a droplet of essence blood from an ultimate emperor, I'll be able to undergo the heavenly tribulations immediately. However, I don't have enough energy right now, and my foundation is unstable, so it's not very likely for now. "

"Actually, you only need to cultivate for a month, and you'll be able to store enough energy in your body. After a month, you'll be able to undergo the three heavenly tribulations," Xiao Hei said indifferently.

Zhuo Wen nodded slightly. His current strength was already comparable to a mid-stage Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. The so-called three heavenly tribulations were nothing to him at all, so Zhuo Wen didn't think much of them.

If other cultivators knew about Zhuowen's thoughts, they would definitely be speechless. Others revered the heavenly tribulations like gods and feared them to death. However, Zhuowen could not wait for the heavenly tribulations to arrive sooner. He could be said to be a complete freak.

"The final round of battles has ended!

It looks like the spots to enter the Origin Qi Tower have been completely decided. I wonder what the treasure in this hall is?

It couldn't have been destroyed by my battle with Lv Yongsheng, right? "

At this moment, Zhuo Wen who'd smoothly defeated Lv Yongsheng was in an extremely good mood, and he instantly swept the surroundings with his gaze. However, he noticed that the hall was already extremely tattered and in a mess, and it had practically become a miserable ruin. There wasn't the slightest trace of a treasure!

"It shouldn't be!

When you entered the hall earlier, there was nothing except for the surrounding stone pillars. Try using the Heaven Rank Imprint in your hand to sense it. After all, Lv Yongsheng's Heaven Rank Imprint is the key to opening the hall's treasure, "Xiao Hei said doubtfully.

Hearing this, Zhuowen nodded. With a flip of his hand, he immediately took out Lv Yongsheng's Heaven Rank Imprint. As soon as the Heaven Rank Imprint was released, the golden light on its surface became several times more intense.

"Whoosh!"

The Heaven Rank Imprint turned into a golden light and suddenly left Zhuowen's palm. It actually drilled into the ground at the center of the hall and disappeared from Zhuowen's sight.

"This … Could it be that the hall's treasure is underground?"

As if thinking of something, a strange expression appeared on Zhuowen's face. Along the way, this was the strangest method of storing treasures he had encountered. It was actually hidden underground.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the entire hall violently shook. Soon after, the ground at the center of the hall completely collapsed like countless spiderwebs. In the end, a golden coffin broke out of the ground and directly appeared in front of Zhuowen.
