482: Burning Sky Flame

As soon as this illusory cauldron appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy immediately became agitated.

The space within the Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Array was instantly incinerated into nothingness by terrifying flames, and the dreadful high temperature caused the depths of the entire sky to twist, isolating it from the world below.

At this moment, the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace's originally pitch-black eyes also showed the same burning flames as the Vice Palace Lord's, his dark red long hair flying, like a fire god.

"To force me to use this Burning Heaven Array, you can be proud even in death!"

His tone was still as indifferent, as if announcing the final outcome.

Hearing this, Lin Yan did not respond but instead surveyed this grand array that exuded an ancient and profound aura.

This array could become the Vermilion Bird Palace's guardian technique and has been passed down to the present, so it must have its unique aspects.

Even though it was not fully activated at this moment, the faint sensation of scorching heat already permeated his surroundings.

"Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Flame, rise!"

As the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace let out a low cry, something terrifying seemed to emerge from the illusory cauldron.

Puff!

With a soft sound, an extremely dark red flame suddenly appeared from the cauldron, followed by a series of flames erupting one after another.

In just a few breaths, the entire cauldron was filled with dark red flames, and a violent and scorching aura emanated from it.

This fluctuation immediately attracted the attention of other battlefields.

Especially Vice Palace Lord of Vermilion Bird Palace, whose previously grim expression suddenly turned somewhat excited; he was all too familiar with this fluctuation—it was the strongest technique of his Vermilion Bird Palace.

"Haha, the person you rely on will probably turn to ashes and dissipate in this Burning Heaven Array. Just wait!"

He immediately burst out laughing, speaking to the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court, whose expression had also changed somewhat.

The latter two exchanged glances, also feeling a deadly threat from this aura.

If it were them, they would probably only have one path to defeat within this so-called Burning Heaven Array.

"Hmph, don't get happy too soon!"

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court snorted, unwilling to show weakness, but despite his verbal response, a hint of worry inevitably arose in his heart.

As for the Chang Sheng Sect and others, they appeared oblivious, as if in their view, this seemingly dangerous situation could not pose any threat to Lin Yan.

"With this array, I once annihilated several Saint Realm experts, so even if you perish on the spot, you need not feel unwilling."

"Burn!"

The Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace spoke to himself, seemingly believing that the overall situation was decided, and he said these words out of respect for the opponent's strength.

As his voice fell, the fiercely burning Burning Heaven Flame instantly became exceptionally violent, surging overwhelmingly towards Lin Yan in the center.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

In just a short moment, Lin Yan's figure was completely engulfed by the Burning Heaven Flame, his life or death unknown.

In response, the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace did not react much, habitually believing that under such circumstances, it was normal for the opponent to be helpless.

After all, the few powerful individuals who had perished at his hands mostly showed similar reactions; even their desperate struggles were in vain.

However, he would not allow any uncertain factors to exist; therefore, his spiritual power, like a surging river, continuously poured into the Burning Heaven Array, making the flames even more vigorous.

Hahahaha!

Seeing this scene, the Vice Palace Lord of Vermilion Bird Palace finally completely relaxed; in his opinion, once tainted by the Burning Heaven Flame, there was absolutely no possibility of survival.

"Brother Lin!"

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court was no longer calm, exclaiming, and when his divine sense probed, he was actually unable to perceive Lin Yan's aura, which made the unease in his heart grow stronger.

"Brother Xiao..."

The Middle-aged man next to him also had a solemn expression, looking at the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court with some hesitation.

"No matter what, let's kill this person first to at least break even!"

A fierce glint flickered in the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court's eyes, and after saying this, he was the first to shoot towards the Vice Palace Lord of Vermilion Bird Palace.

The latter nodded heavily upon hearing this, then his figure flashed, launching an attack in a pincer movement.

Rumble.

Under the encirclement of the two, the Vice Palace Lord of Vermilion Bird Palace inwardly cursed, knowing it was bad; the cultivation of the three was already similar, all in the same realm, and it was already extremely difficult to hold on for so long while fighting one against two.

Now facing the rampage of the two, under a barrage of attacks, he actually showed signs of collapse.

This made his heart sink; gritting his teeth, he also used a trump card he had not yet deployed, and as his combat power surged again, he barely managed to maintain the situation.

Meanwhile, Lin Yan, in the center of the flames, slowly stood in the void, calmly surveying the Burning Heaven Flame that constantly tried to erode the light barrier around him.

Although his opponent this time was not weak, he still hadn't touched his limit; it seemed that only the colossal force behind him might pose a threat to him.

Since that was the case, he did not intend to continue entangling with the opponent, but he did not choose to dispel the Burning Heaven Flame; instead, he condensed a vortex in front of him, slowly swallowing all of it.

And in the outside world, the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace, thinking that enough time had passed, was about to retract these Burning Heaven Flames.

But the next moment, his expression changed slightly; he only felt that the Burning Heaven Flame, which he originally controlled, had been significantly weakened.

This sudden change immediately caused an ominous feeling to arise in his heart; he no longer hesitated, and with a thought, the flames, guided, were about to return to the Burning Heaven Array.

However, things seemed to be beyond his expectation; not only did the sea of flames, like an ocean, not return as pulled, but they instead became violent, and their source was actually the location where Lin Yan had originally been.

Not good!

At this moment, how could he not understand that an accident had occurred? His expression immediately changed drastically, and he fiercely grabbed at the Burning Heaven Flames in the Burning Heaven Array with a large hand, intending to forcibly retract them.

But what secretly alarmed him was that even with his personal intervention, he still couldn't change this outcome, only watching helplessly as the Burning Heaven Flames diminished at an extremely rapid speed.

In the next few short breaths, they completely disappeared, revealing the black-clad youth in the center, who was calm and unharmed.

How is this possible!

At this moment, even the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace's state of mind was greatly stirred; he frowned tightly, staring intently at the familiar figure in the center.

The core of this Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Array was these Burning Heaven Flames; if they were truly taken by the opponent, then this array would lose all threat.

Furthermore, these Burning Heaven Flames were nurtured by the Burning Heaven Cauldron in the Vermilion Bird Palace, and even the current quantity was not very large.

Once they could not be recovered, it would result in enormous losses, which was something he clearly could not accept.
