542: Chapter 1818_3 542: Chapter 1818_3 For a moment, continuous mountain ranges, winding rivers, and numerous cave mansions all appeared one after another.
One by one, the Four Extremes Sect disciples stared at the landscape of mountains and rivers materializing on the stage, even feeling the illusion that they had returned to Four Extremes Sect.
However, in the next instant, the flame phoenix attacked, and the scene of Four Extremes Sect that was as vivid as reality ignited in a flash.
The scorching flames seemed determined to burn Four Extremes Sect down completely, as a great fire engulfed the heavens, swiftly covering all the Four Extremes Sect’s mountains and rivers.
Shi Xiaolou felt the high temperature assailing him from all sides, disbelief filling his eyes, and in the next moment, as the flames reached him, just one flame made him feel as though his body had been instantly incinerated.
The explosive aura of fire surged toward him, shattering his golden body protections one after another.
His skin, bones, and internal organs seemed to ignite at that very instant.
The overwhelming force sent him uncontrollably flying backward until he landed on the edge of the stage, where he crashed down heavily.
Shi Xiaolou, lying on the stage, let out another mouthful of blood and looked at Yi Sheng amidst the distant flames, his heart filled with endless frustration and confusion.
He had already achieved Pill Fusion, even with ten Golden Cores, so why had he been defeated so cleanly by someone who had not even completed Pill Fusion?
The opponent had only used one Divine Skill, and he had been defeated!
is this really the power of someone who hasn’t achieved Pill Fusion?
Yi Sheng… Google seaʀᴄh n0velfire.net
He vaguely remembered this woman, having seen her beside Cao Zhen when he attended the Golden Core Club with his partner Qu Qingqing at Hundred Peaks Sect’s Vermilion Bird Peak as a talented disciple of Li Ke’s.
Back then, Yi Sheng hadn’t even completed Core Formation, and he would not have remembered her if not for her figure and appearance after a mere glance.
But now, to have been defeated by her…
How much time has passed since then?
In less than half a year’s time, he had been so easily vanquished by her.
Back at the Golden Core Club, he had lost face because of the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, and now, in this grand martial tournament of the Immortal Sects, he was defeated again because of a disciple of Four Treasures Peak…
Shi Xiaolou opened his mouth to vomit another mouthful of blood, and then completely lost consciousness.
“Little Lou!” Qu Qingqing cried out in alarm and swiftly flew out from the crowd of Hundred Peaks Sect, heading towards the stage.
From the direction of Four Extremes Sect, an Elder also flew out rapidly.
On the stage, after Yi Sheng’s flames scorched Shi Xiaolou, a look of surprise appeared on her face as she quickly retracted the flames.
She looked apologetically at Qu Qingqing and the Elder of Four Extremes Sect who were rushing towards her and said, “I didn’t mean to harm him so badly, it’s just that this was my first time using this Divine Skill in combat…”
She truly hadn’t expected the terrifying might of the Divine Skill.
After her cultivation turned into the Scarlet Flame Heavenly Phoenix, although she hadn’t deployed it during the tournament, she had used it while sparring with her four senior martial brothers and sisters.
At the time, her senior martial brothers and sisters all praised the strength of her Divine Skill, but she knew they were just comforting her.
After all, her Divine Skill couldn’t harm her seniors in the slightest.
Like her eldest senior sister, whose defenses, gathered by Talismans, her flames couldn’t breach.
The second senior sister could simply slash her flames with a single strike.
The junior martial brother was able to block her attacks with various wondrous phenomena.
And the most exasperating was her third senior brother who, without using any Treasures, bore her Flame Divine Power with his flesh and afterward merely commented to her “Not bad.”
How was that “not bad” at all?
Yet today, under the wielding of her Divine Skill, she nearly burned her opponent to death.
If she had been any slower in retracting her flames, Shi Xiaolou might have already been a corpse.
Even though there were two stages with two groups in combat simultaneously, at this moment, almost everyone’s gaze was fixed on the stage where Yi Sheng was.
Whether they were disciples from the ten major Immortal Sects, worldly and knowledgeable, or from various smaller sects, they all looked at the charred stage in horror.
What kind of flame is that?
It broke through Shi Xiaolou’s three Divine Skills so easily!”
“Shi Xiaolou is a legacy of Four Extremes Sect; the Divine Skills he uses are not comparable to those from minor sects and schools.
And yet, his perfectly suited Divine Skills and Divine Weapons were broken through so effortlessly?”
“Shi Xiaolou is a contender with ten Golden Cores integrated.
Yi Sheng surely hasn’t achieved Pill Fusion, yet she crushed him!”
“That Divine Skill’s flame is too terrifying!”
“If Yi Sheng hadn’t withdrawn her flames in time, Shi Xiaolou might have already been burned to death.”
“The gap between them is too vast!
They don’t seem like they are on the same level at all.”
“It’s the Divine Skills, or rather, Yi Sheng’s Divine Skill is too terrifying, likely coming from Peak Master Cao himself.”
“This is the benefit of having a reincarnated Great Ability as a master, one can obtain supreme Divine Skills.”
“I heard that Immortal Li Ke from Hundred Peaks Sect is Peak Master Cao’s partner, and she also cultivates Fire-oriented supernatural powers.
Do you think that Peak Master Cao might have passed this Divine Skill to Immortal Li Ke as well?”
