Chapter 587: Battlefield of Purgatory The Flame That Absorbs the Stars
"ROAR!!!"
A massive dragon of purple-black flames manifested in the sky, casting an enormous shadow over the entire Holy Pill City.
Those locked in battle below felt the intense heat radiating from the dragon, and for the first time, many broke into cold sweat.
Already engaged in a fight for their lives, they now felt the overwhelming weight of despair.
A battle between Dou Shengs was already terrifying beyond reason.
Even their stray attacks could wipe out countless people.
And now, with the Hall of Souls' Master, Hun Miesheng, and the Cai Lin Pavilion's Master, Wu Tian, added to the mix
The entire city had become a death zone.
Above them, the three-thousand-meter-long flame dragon coiled in the sky.
Its sheer pressure alone made even powerful warriors feel suffocated.
Even the strongest could not deny it
This had become a battlefield of purgatory.
The Three Thousand Burning Flames lifted its head and let out a thunderous dragon roar.
Its purple-black flames surged, growing even stronger than before.
Because now…
There were no more seals to restrain it.
And more importantly
It was nighttime.
The sky was filled with stars, their radiant energy pouring down endlessly.
For the Three Thousand Burning Flames, this was a perfect feeding ground.
The moment its roar echoed across the battlefield
A gigantic vortex appeared within its maw.
From all around, starlight began rapidly gathering toward it.
And then…
On the dragon's forehead, a peculiar golden rune emerged.
Unlike the sealing inscriptions from before
This rune radiated dazzling golden light, as if a second sun had risen over the city!
The sky, once filled with the chaotic glow of battle, was now completely illuminated in gold.
The rune's glow intensified, and the heat in the air skyrocketed.
Holy Pill City was instantly transformed into a sea of flames.
Buildings began to smolder, white smoke rising from rooftops.
Everyone knew
If this continued, both the city and everyone inside it would be completely incinerated.
"You foolish humans!"
The flame dragon roared, its massive body coiling through the sky.
The very space itself warped wherever it passed.
Then, with a wave of its tail, the purple-black flames expanded outward.
In mere moments
The entire sky had transformed into a storm of fire.
"Kehehe… the Three Thousand Burning Flames is rampaging! Let's see how long you fools can hold on!"
Gu You let out a sinister laugh.
Locked in combat with Yao Chen, he felt absolutely no fear.
Both of them were High-Level Half-Saints, evenly matched in power.
Since Yao Chen no longer had a soul body, Gu You had lost his natural advantage.
But on the other hand, Yao Chen lacked an Heavenly Flame, so he couldn't suppress Gu You either.
Their battle was completely deadlocked.
However, Gu You didn't care.
Because unlike the Heavenly Court Alliance, the Hall of Souls didn't care about collateral damage.
As long as their enemies died, the cost didn't matter.
The ordinary people of Holy Pill City?
They were expendable.
The flames continued to spread
Even the buildings were beginning to disintegrate from the sheer heat.
Countless weaker cultivators screamed in agony, struggling to resist the burning energy.
"Dammit! If this continues, what can we do?!"
"We're already using everything we have to fight the Hall of Souls! We don't have the strength to protect them!"
"We can't just let them die! If we don't help them, even if we win, the reputation of the Pill Tower and the Heavenly Court Alliance will be ruined!"
"Hmph! Why should we care about the weak? In this world, only the strong matter. This hesitation is beneath us!"
"But "
"Enough 'buts'! Do you seriously think we can stop the Three Thousand Burning Flames?!"
The warriors of the Heavenly Court Alliance stared at the dragon in horror.
It had already been a High-Level Half-Saint while sealed.
Now, with its restraints broken
It had already ascended to the Dou Sheng realm.
Back when it was still sealed, it had taken three top Pill Tower elders to keep it contained.
And even then…
The only reason it was sealed was because it had LET THEM.
It had been pretending to be weak.
For years, it had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to escape.
And now
Its chance had come.
But even now…
It wasn't leaving.
Because it wasn't done yet.
It wanted revenge for being sealed all these years.
And even more importantly
This battlefield was overflowing with energy.
As each warrior fell, their remnant energy scattered into the air.
And the Three Thousand Burning Flames…
Was absorbing all of it.
Coiled in the sky, the flame dragon's gaze turned cold.
To it
All of these humans deserved to die.
BOOM!
A thunderous shockwave erupted from above.
A streak of red light and black light crashed into each other, exploding with devastating force.
Each time they collided, the entire sky trembled.
The intensity of their battle was mind-numbing.
Even the Three Thousand Burning Flames…
Felt a trace of fear.
Because both Hun Miesheng and Wu Tian possessed flames even more powerful than itself.
Two terrifying Heavenly Flames, far beyond ordinary fire…
It had to escape before it was too late.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian and Hun Miesheng's battle had reached its peak.
Hun Miesheng, a Mid-Five-Star Dou Sheng, was shocked beyond words.
Wu Tian was only a Two-Star Dou Sheng
So why was he this powerful?!
And more importantly
What was this red flame?!
The temperature was simply unbelievable.
The sound of space shattering echoed as a shadowy figure flashed in front of Hun Miesheng.
A hand wreathed in red fire extended forward
A pair of fingers pressed together, flames dancing between them.
The temperature spiked again.
The burning heat and pressure were absolute nightmares to everyone nearby.
For the first time, Hun Miesheng's expression turned serious.
He instinctively summoned a black energy shield
But the moment Wu Tian's flaming fingers touched it
It began melting instantly.
The flames surged forward
Aiming straight for Hun Miesheng's eyes!
