Chapter 347: The Fire Demon of the Three Blossoms Realm!
The terrifying Fire Demon, a hundred meters tall, finally condensed slowly. Then it roared toward the heavens, and the terrifying pressure shattered the surrounding rocks while the ground cracked open.
The oppressive might of the Three Blossoms Realm spread endlessly, sweeping in all directions.
Gu Fan’s expression grew somewhat solemn.
He was not overly afraid of cultivators in the Three Blossoms Realm. After all, as long as they were not abnormal monsters, he could always find a way to maneuver around them.
He could even kill some weaker ones among the Three Blossoms Realm.
But creatures like the Fire Demon were incomparably violent, every strike infused with the raging power of fire.
Even for him, facing it head-on, he dared not be careless.
The most terrifying part was that this place was the Demonic Fire Secret Realm, filled everywhere with fiery energy, further amplifying the Fire Demon’s attacks to frightening levels.
Sensing the aura of this Fire Demon, Gu Fan realized it had reached the peak of mid-stage Three Blossoms Realm.
Its true combat strength was such that even late-stage Three Blossoms Realm cultivators would not dare claim to be able to defeat it completely.
This was rather troublesome...
“Roar!!”
The Fire Demon bellowed, its massive hand slamming down toward Gu Fan like a world-ending grinding disk.
Flames surged violently, engulfing Gu Fan!
Fortunately, his physical body was resilient, and above his head the revolving Taiji Diagram carried a mystical power that rendered all methods ineffective against him.
For the moment, the terrifying flames did not harm him.
Then, Gu Fan gathered his strength and threw a punch. The enormous fist imprint blasted forth, producing a sharp sonic boom as it broke the sound barrier.
Fist and palm collided.
It was like a comet striking the earth, the aftershocks spreading out in waves, destroying everything nearby.
“Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena!”
Boom!!
The Fire Demon’s massive palm was directly pierced through. Seemingly in pain, it retracted its hand, only for countless fiery energies to immediately mend the hole in its palm.
It stepped forward, leaving a scorched, pitch-black footprint on the ground.
Then it stomped down toward Gu Fan.
“...Ant...”
Gu Fan instantly dodged the step, startled. This Fire Demon actually seemed to possess a trace of intelligence, capable of speaking briefly!
“Qilin Step!”
Boom! Boom! Terrifying lightning struck down continuously, blasting dozens of gaping wounds across the Fire Demon’s body.
But Gu Fan knew that such injuries were meaningless.
Here in the Demonic Fire Secret Realm, as long as fiery energy existed, he could not win a battle of attrition!
Thus, Gu Fan and the Fire Demon remained locked in combat.
The Fire Demon, a hundred meters tall, could constantly repair its damaged body.
Gu Fan resisted with the strength of his physical body, barely parrying while relying on agile movement techniques to keep pulling back. Though he had not lost, neither could he prevail. The fight reached a stalemate.
“If this stalemate can last until Fang Xue completes her transformation... perhaps that could work!”
Thinking this, Gu Fan cast his divine sense back toward Fang Xue.
At this moment, she had already refined the fourth Major Aperture beneath her chest, yet the entire process was less than halfway complete.
Due to the clash of fiery energy and the cold within the Major Apertures, her clothing had already been nearly destroyed.
But with crisis looming, Gu Fan had no mind to admire the sight, and immediately withdrew his divine sense.
Time was running out.
He grew anxious. At this pace, she might not withstand the Fire Demon’s frenzied attacks...
Just then, the Fire Demon suddenly let out a heaven-shaking roar. The surrounding magma instantly churned and surged toward its body, forming a blazing red magma armor upon its surface.
Seeing this, Gu Fan’s heart sank. He could sense the terrifying might of this move—the defensive strength of that magma armor was likely beyond his current power to break.
He swiftly calculated. He knew that if he could not break the Fire Demon’s defenses, he would not last long; defeat was inevitable.
But there was no time. The Fire Demon had already unleashed a violent assault, its flames roaring like dragons, forcing Gu Fan into a desperate defense.
Gu Fan drew a deep breath. He knew he could not continue like this!
From his robe, he quickly pulled out a talisman. It was one of the rewards given by the sect after completing the Burial Root task.
It could resist any attack from a Three Blossoms Realm cultivator—for ten breaths of time!
In theory, as long as the being was within the Three Blossoms Realm, it could withstand it.
Activating it with his spiritual power, a shield immediately appeared before him, blocking the Fire Demon’s endless strikes.
At the same time, Gu Fan pressed his hands together, condensing a black sphere of killing aura. Then, tapping into his long-sealed Mysterious Power, he poured it in alongside his spiritual power!
A mighty aura surged forth from the black sphere, his own aura rising sharply in tandem.
Forming hand seals, Gu Fan channeled his power rapidly into the sphere.
Sensing that only about one-fourth of his spiritual power and mysterious power had been consumed, he figured it should be enough.
He worried the destructive force might be too great and collapse the entire secret realm.
If that happened, the sect would probably cough up blood in anger!
Thus, a special weapon crafted by a cultivator was born—the Cultivation Nuclear Bomb!
Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations, the Fire Demon, with its nascent intelligence, felt an intense dread.
A primal instinct told it this ant’s actions must be stopped, or else it would be in grave danger!
But Gu Fan’s shield still stood firm, withstanding every attack without breaking.
After four breaths passed, Gu Fan’s eyes turned cold.
With a wave, he withdrew the defensive talisman.
Then, he hurled the black sphere directly at the Fire Demon!
By now, it was too late for the Fire Demon to dodge. Instinctively, it pushed both arms forward, hoping to protect its body at the cost of its limbs.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted. On the ground of the Demonic Fire Secret Realm, a terrifying mushroom cloud rose.
The space shook violently, countless cracks spreading as though the entire secret realm would be shattered apart.
Under Gu Fan’s gaze, the Fire Demon’s body was instantly blown apart, turning into smoke and dissipating into the air.
The magma collapsed, flowing back into the lowlands.
The endless fiery energies within the Fire Demon dispersed back into the space.
At last, Gu Fan let out a sigh of relief.
“Thankfully... the secret realm barely held together, and the Fire Demon has been blasted apart.”
Exhausted, he sat down heavily on the ground, ready to rest.
This battle was even more exhausting than the one against Ying Langtian.
The Fire Demon was simply a bug-like existence, with endless healing, endless energy reserves.
Its ultimate moves had no cooldown, spewing flame-dragons again and again.
And finally, equipped with mythical armor—magma plating—his normal attacks could not even break its defense.
In such helplessness, he had chosen to risk unleashing the Cultivation Nuclear Weapon.
Although he feared the move might collapse the secret realm, at least the outcome had turned out well.
The hundred-meter-tall Three Blossoms Realm Fire Demon had been reduced to nothingness by a single nuclear strike.
Only its energy remained, returning to the secret realm.
At this time, Gu Fan looked once more at Fang Xue. She seemed to have already completed the refinement of yet another Major Aperture.
