Chapter 577 - On the Last Leg? (1/2)

Li Fire Golden Eyes!

Chen Fan had gained this Divine power since his Foundation Establishment Stage breakthrough; it had been his second most powerful skill right after The Blade Of Time. It might appear less impressive in the beginning, but its power would increase greatly with Chen Fan’s growing level of attainment.

A crackling golden flame came up and illuminated the sky.

It streaked across the cosmic vault, leaving a vacuum tunnel in its wake. The vacuum was being created due to the rapid consumption of oxygen in the air. By then, the Li Fire Golden Eyes could reach such an incredibly high temperature that it was hotter than the burning core of the Earth.

“Puchh.”

The attack of the Li Fire Golden Eyes flew towards the Earl of Terror while the latter panicked.

He had no clue what this golden flame was, but judging by the intense energy around it, he knew it was extremely powerful. Worse, the flames were of pure Yang nature, and were particularly effective against the Dark Races.

Even the undying body of the Blood Race would be reduced to ashes upon contact with the flame, making it impossible to regenerate.

“Open!”

The Earl of Terror snarled as a plume of dark energy rolled out from behind him. He held the Staff of Death in both hands and struck the ground with the end of the staff. The Curse Gems on the Staff of Death suddenly lit up with an eerie crimson glow.

This light opened the gates to the underworld, and condemned any living being to eternal death.

However, Chen Fan’s nine blades were no pushovers, either. Those blades were the Dharma Treasures of Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator and their power was on par with the Spirit Artifact. The nine blades weaved a golden net that covered the entire sky.

Try as he might, the Earl of Terror could not penetrate the Sword Array.

Meanwhile, the Li Fire Golden Eyes spell was almost ready. The Earl of Terror stood about ten meters away from the fire, but he could still feel the encroaching heat nibbling at his soul.

“NOOOO!”

The Earl of Terror’s eyes widened in fear.

He had lived three hundred years and this was the first time he smelled death. He hadn’t felt fear even when he was up against Saint Antonio.

“Go to h.e.l.l!”

Golden flames poured out from Chen Fan’s eyes, burning anything in their path. Be it the Blade Aura from Blood Knight’s sword, or the curses cast by the Devil of Death, they all melted the moment they came in contact with the Li Fire.

No two Divine Powers were the same, but they were all unmatched in their own right.

Without the power of an Earth Level Deity, no one could have stopped it.

The scene stirred up many strong emotions amongst the audience.

They watched as Chen Fan turned the table around. Many of them held their breath and watched expectantly for the downfall of one of the Dark World Arbitrators. Their organization had dominated the world for hundreds of years, and never once had any of their Chief Arbitrators died in battle.

“Is our teacher going to win?”

A’Xiu batted her lashes and asked herself excitedly.

Her elation was shared by Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa and many other Perfected Cultivators from the North Qiong Sect.

Suddenly, a husky and sinister voice drifted into everyone’s ears from a distance. It sounded like a wailing from the deepest chasm in h.e.l.l, where demons battled against each other for eternity.

The voice mumbled a strange world, but its meaning came to everyone instantly.

It was one word, spoken in a h.e.l.lish dialect:

“Blood!”

As soon as the voice drifted across the s.p.a.ce, a river of blood appeared in the sky, dividing the s.p.a.ce between Chen Fan and the Earl of Terror. The blood was so thick that it was almost black, tainted by the blasphemous forces of evil. The profane energy quickly permeated the area, filling it with the smell of decay and sulfur.

As the river of blood washed around the nine blades, their glow started to diminish, and their s.h.i.+ny surface was blotched with rust. Chen Fan felt the connection between him and the blades fade by the second.

Meanwhile, the Earl of Terror bathed in the blood moaning with pleasure. His wounds regenerated quickly and his energy was also surging.

“Pptz, pptz…”

As the golden flames and the river of blood came into contact, the edges of both energies sizzled as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over a campfire.

The Li Fire Golden Eyes could burn through anything; the river of blood did not pose a challenge at first.

However, the river seemed to have an endless supply of energy, eventually taking things to a stand still with the Li Fire Golden Eyes.

“What the…”

The turn of events took many people by surprise.

They watched as the Dark Duke held out a roman style golden goblet fully decorated with carvings of monsters and beasts. This was the source of the blood.

“The Divine Goblet of Blood!” someone said in a shaky voice.

“What is that?”
