Chapter 1581 - The Price Silver Armor Had to Pay (1/2)

At that moment, the entire vine-infested world was quaking violently.

That terrifying extreme heat was no ordinary heatwave but an overbearing sequence power.

Although Nine Gloom had no idea what exactly this sequence power was, he could more or less judge that it was an extreme flame with powerful destructive and combustive characteristics.

On a certain level, this type of flame was even more volatile than most Dragon Flames.

Horrified, Nine Gloom’s true form fled deep underground. At the same time, he manipulated countless vines to smother the flames. He no longer harbored any unreasonable hopes of extinguishing the blaze; he merely hoped to suppress it a little, as well as shrink its scope.

‘Did that lunatic Silver Armor self-destruct?’ Nine Gloom secretly cursed as he hastily fled as far away as he could. He did not even dare to release his Divine Telekinesis to do any probing, for fear the flames would burn his spirit.

However, very soon, he retracted his previous speculation.

This was because he could clearly sense that apart from himself, there were remnants of an aura in his God Territory.

Silver Armor was still alive!

Not only that, a humanoid monster formed from dark red flame was slowly stretching its body inside a deep, scorched pit.

Impressively, the monster’s body was seventy to eighty percent similar to Silver Armor, but his head was many times larger. He was at least one thousand meters tall.

Unlike his body, which was completely dark red, there was an incandescent blaze of white where the pupils of his eyes should be.

He stood where he was as if momentarily dazed, but the incandescent white in his eyes soon blazed up brightly.

All he did was lift his legs slightly, and he was able to stride out of the deep pit that had just been blasted into the ground. Each time he took a step, the ground would split, and fiery red larva would ooze from the cracks.

He walked aimlessly forward, swinging his heavy fists wildly to bombard every obstacle in his path.

Mountains, rivers, swamps… Wherever he passed, that place would become a sea of lava.

Naturally, Nine Gloom also sensed that his God Territory had been severely contaminated.

Each step Silver Armor took—and even every punch he threw—would contaminate and assimilate Nine Gloom’s God Territory.

After forcibly restraining himself for a long while, in the end, Nine Gloom could no longer hold back and spread his Divine Telekinesis to sense out the situation.

As his Divine Telekinesis swept the area, he immediately noticed the flame monster that seemed to have descended into madness.

Although the aura and size had changed significantly, Nine Gloom could tell at once that it was Silver Armor because traces of Silver Armor’s aura still remained on the other’s body.

“How did that fellow transform into something like this?!” Nine Gloom was extremely baffled. This was another life form entirely.

However, very soon, Nine Gloom was unable to continue pondering the matter because he sensed that Silver Armor’s gaze was fixed on the direction where he was hiding.

His probing with Divine Telekinesis had exposed him!

Nine Gloom frantically fled without a second thought.

Meanwhile, the flame giant that was at least ten thousand kilometers away had his gaze locked onto Nine Gloom’s aura. His eyes spewed forth white sparks as he ran like a maniac toward Nine Gloom.

Nine Gloom was fast, but the flame giant was even faster.

In merely ten minutes or so, the flame giant had caught up with Nine Gloom.

The sole of the giant’s massive foot came stomping down without hesitation, and the entire surface of the ground collapsed.

The cracked ground rapidly began to soften, turning into dark red molten lava that began spreading in all directions and contaminating the area.

The stomp was vicious, but Nine Gloom managed to dodge it in time. Right as the flame giant’s foot came down, Nine Gloom wormed his way out from the ground and just managed to evade the attack.

However, his evasive maneuver had completely exposed his form.

It was a black vine resembling a giant python, with a reflective surface that looked like snake scales.

Just looking at him on his own, Nine Gloom’s size was indeed quite massive, over half a meter thick and at least a hundred meters long. However, right now, in the presence of the flame giant, he was not so different from a mudfish.

At this moment, fisherman and mudfish seemed to have exchanged positions.

Nine Gloom knew that he could not escape now.

While he observed Silver Armor’s altered form quietly from close range, he also rapidly checked the revenants’ imprints, attempting to summon them again.

“Silver Armor, why don’t we just end the battle here.” Nine Gloom tried to buy himself some time. “Look, we’ve shown all of our trump cards. If we continue battling it out, it will be a fight to the death. There’s no need to go to that extent…”

However, the flame giant completely ignored what Nine Gloom said. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the huge palm of flame came down in the direction where Nine Gloom was.

The sky seemed to collapse as the massive palm hurtled down.

Nine Gloom did not dare to mount a direct resistance and swiftly teleported once again.

He could not outrun this current Silver Armor, but he could at least teleport a short distance to avoid any attacks.

The flame giant flew into a mad rage when the attack missed and began striking wildly at everything around him. Nine Gloom’s mind loosened up, and he began to think.

Silver Armor’s mind was obviously immature when he was in this state. One could even say that he was completely functioning on battle instinct alone.

Although his opponent was very powerful in this state of being, for Nine Gloom, there was a fatal flaw in it.

This was because when fighting while being controlled by instinct, Silver Armor did not have the ability to be calculative. He could only function in a very straightforward manner, and all of his actions could be predicted at a glance.

This relieved Nine Gloom’s mind. He did not hurry to escape; instead, he remained where he was and dealt with the flame giant.

While dodging the flame giant’s repeated attacks with ease, he planned his next attack.
