Chapter 120: Facing Tribulation II
Lin Yan wiped away the blood and immediately activated another killer move—Prairie Fire.
A golden burning sun slowly rose into the sky, releasing a vast waterfall of blazing flames from above. At the same time, endless flames spread wildly across the desert below, forming a true prairie fire. Crimson fire filled both heaven and earth, turning the entire world into a burning purgatory.
Dense meteorites from the heavenly tribulation continuously crashed into the sea of flames. However, after being scorched by the towering waves of sunfire, their size rapidly shrank while their destructive force weakened greatly. They could no longer easily destroy the hills and fortresses below.
Under Lin Yan’s precise control over Flame Path, the blazing flames skillfully avoided the rabble army while merging with the burning earth mountains to completely surround the desolate beast Mud Crab.
The Mud Crab was swallowed by the endless sea of fire and erupting volcanoes. The thick mud covering its enormous shell rapidly burned red under the terrifying heat, turning into flowing lava that continuously dripped downward.
Wherever the lava flowed, sizzling smoke rose endlessly. Its hard shell gradually began to melt, while large portions of flesh and skin were scorched black.
Feeling intense pain, the Mud Crab suddenly roared toward the sky. A powerful yellow light erupted from its body as several Earth Path Gu activated within it. In the next moment, a strange fluctuation swept violently across the entire sea of fire.
In an instant, the burning sun hanging in mid-air seemed to be covered by a layer of dust. Its radiance rapidly dimmed, and the heat it released weakened greatly.
At the same time, the towering red flames spreading across the desert suddenly collapsed inward, while the endless Prairie Fire sea was suppressed to its limit.
Thump! Thump! Thump
The desolate beast Mud Crab charged forward tyrannically. Every step it took shook the earth violently as its enormous body smashed through one sand dune after another, its aura surging like a tidal wave.
Seeing this, Lin Yan, still in his red flame giant form, charged forward once again to meet it head-on. The four enormous red fire handprints descended heavily from the sky, crashing onto the Mud Crab’s shell with terrifying force and leaving behind several deep indentations.
Scorching flames spread wildly across its back, burning blackened marks onto the massive shell.
After being continuously scorched by Prairie Fire, much of the mud covering the Mud Crab’s body had already melted away, causing its defensive power to weaken slightly. It was no longer as completely impenetrable as before.
Meanwhile, the rabble army fearlessly swarmed across the Mud Crab’s body from every direction like countless ants crawling over a giant beast. They bit down madly, continuously leaving behind small wounds.
Although every single attack was weak, the damage gradually accumulated over time.
The Mud Crab became completely enraged. Its enormous pincers swept violently across the battlefield, causing the ground to collapse layer by layer while huge masses of earth were overturned and endless yellow sand surged into the sky.
Originally, Lin Yan intended to retreat and dodge, but at that moment, one of the Gu worms hidden within the Mud Crab’s body suddenly activated.
A beam of yellow light shot toward him, instantly petrifying his body for a brief moment.
Boom!
The Mud Crab’s gigantic pincer smashed down heavily. Because of that single mistake, Lin Yan’s entire body was instantly crushed into a bloody pulp.
However, an extremely strange scene soon unfolded. After the giant pincer lifted away, countless strands of nine-colored flames flickered within the deep crater before rapidly merging into the surrounding sea of fire.
A few breaths later, the distant sea of flames suddenly surged violently. Endless fire gathered together, condensing into a gigantic phoenix phantom that soared into the sky while Lin Yan’s figure slowly emerged once more from within the flames.
Killer Move — Rebirth Through Fire!
Lin Yan’s face turned pale. He had truly revived from death. This killer move used Phoenix Fire Gu, Life Spirit Fire Gu, and Fire Heart Gu as its core. At the same time, he had also referenced Sun Cu’s Earth Path healing killer move, Earth’s Growth, allowing it to possess the miraculous effect of rebirth through flames.
As long as the sea of fire remained unextinguished, Lin Yan would not truly die. Its effect was already comparable to a Rank 4 resurrection-type Gu.
Immediately afterward, he activated Six-Armed Divine Fire Yama and Prairie Fire once again.
Boom!
The towering sea of flames surged violently toward the Mud Crab like an endless tidal wave. The newly strengthened heavenly flames rapidly melted the thick mud covering its body.
Lin Yan had also become much more cautious. He continuously alternated between Flame Flash Gu and Flame Sparrow Wing Gu, using the moving hills and rabble army as cover while fighting through guerrilla tactics, striking quickly before immediately retreating, never remaining in direct combat for too long.
Gradually, the Mud Crab’s attention became completely focused on him. Enraged by these endlessly troublesome pests, the desolate beast roared repeatedly while relentlessly pursuing Lin Yan across the battlefield, allowing the overall situation to slowly stabilize.
