Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!
Vast amounts of Heaven Qi and Earth Qi surged throughout the blessed land, gathering and transforming into an endless expanse of crimson flames.
Within the sea of fire, countless crimson flame flowers gradually took shape. Some were only the size of a fist, while others stretched hundreds of meters across. They floated among the flames, densely packed together, their petals slowly opening and closing as more Heaven Qi and Earth Qi poured into them.
Lin Yan stood below, looking up at the towering sea of fire. As far as his eyes could see, countless crimson flame flowers bloomed across the sky, forming a magnificent scene of flourishing blossoms.
Yet Lin Yan knew that terrifying killing intent was hidden beneath this beautiful sight. Without hesitation, he activated his newly created Immortal killer move, Flame Sight.
Flames flickered within his eyes as his vision pierced through the layers of raging fire and countless crimson blossoms. The seemingly chaotic flames gradually revealed their true nature before him.
Lin Yan's expression turned solemn.."Earthly Calamity, Blazing Crucible!"
Blazing Crucible was a calamity in which prosperity itself became the source of destruction. Life would flourish to its limits before being consumed by the very abundance that had nurtured it.
Although it appeared to be a Flame Path tribulation, it also contained the profound mysteries of Luck Path and Food Path. The three paths intertwined, making it an exceptionally complex and troublesome calamity. Worse still, its effects directly targeted the weaknesses of the Flame Sovereign Blessed Land.
Lin Yan quickly understood why such a troublesome Earth Calamity had descended upon him.
"With a foundation comparable to a Rank 7 Gu Immortal immediately after Immortal Ascension, it would be strange if Heaven's Will didn't target me. And this is the Earth Calamity of a Ten Extreme Physique on top of that."
Lin Yan gritted his teeth. He had originally planned to use the unique environment of the Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit to repeat his previous method and weaken the tribulation. However, Heaven's Will was unpredictable and ever-changing, refusing to fall for the same trick twice.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The beasts and plants covered in blazing flowers grew stronger with every passing breath. Their auras surged, and their bodies rapidly expanded. Yet beneath this sudden growth, their foundations were being silently consumed.
Before long, they reached their limits and began exploding one after another. Large numbers of beasts and plants died, leaving countless fiery flowers blooming across the land. At the same time, wisps of energy rose from their remains and merged into the towering sea of fire.
In an instant, the sea of fire transformed into thousands of layers of colorful clouds filled with dao marks from many different paths.
The dao marks of the resources consumed by Blazing Crucible did not disappear. Instead, they were absorbed into the calamity itself, continuously increasing its power.
Resource points were rapidly destroyed one after another, and Lin Yan's heart ached at the sight. He immediately activated Transform Fire Immortal Gu, consuming beads of green grape immortal essence without hesitation.
"Transform Fire! Transform Fire! Transform Fire!"
Lin Yan pointed repeatedly, sending massive crimson pillars of flame crashing down. His first priority was the Huang Family city, where tens of thousands of Gu Masters were engulfed by the tribulation flames.
Under normal circumstances, a single use of Transform Fire would have been enough to extinguish them. However, after absorbing dao marks from countless resources, the tribulation flames had become far more difficult to suppress. Lin Yan had to activate Transform Fire three or four times before he could completely extinguish them.
Immediately afterward, Lin Yan began using Transform Fire Immortal Gu throughout the blessed land, extinguishing the colorful flame flowers wherever they appeared.
However, his heart ached as he watched his resource points disappear one after another. At this rate, the blessed land would lose nearly ninety percent of its resources before he could suppress the Earth Calamity. Transform Fire alone was simply too slow.
Lin Yan immediately changed his strategy. He continued using Transform Fire Immortal Gu to protect the most important resource points while activating the Immortal killer move Prairie Fire, with Oil Flame Immortal Gu as its core.
If extinguishing the tribulation flames was too slow, then he would simply add more fire.
A towering crimson sea of fire rose from the ground and rapidly spread with the wind. Flames surged violently, soon engulfing half of the blessed land.
The colorful sea of fire formed by Blazing Crucible was equally vast. Layers of enormous flame waves swept across the other half of the blessed land until the two seas of fire collided.
Whenever the flame flowers covering the beast groups and vegetation were about to bloom, Prairie Fire released streams of red flames and burned them first.
Lin Yan had already made his choice. Since these resources were doomed to be consumed by the Earth Calamity, he would destroy them first and seize their power for himself.
The burned resources transformed into crimson fire oil that flowed into the red sea of fire, continuously strengthening Prairie Fire while denying Blazing Crucible the resources it needed to grow.
With one side growing stronger and the other deprived of its fuel, the spread of Blazing Crucible was finally suppressed.
But Lin Yan was not finished. While maintaining both Immortal Gu, he mobilized the Hate Gu in his mind and began rapidly deducing a new killer move.
