Chapter 5141 Earth Dao - Limitless Soul Return
“He can control the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone?!” exclaimed someone.
Li Tianfan and the others were all shocked. Just what was Lu Fan up to? If he could control it, what was the point of waiting so long?
They were unaware that Lu Fan could only control the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone because of the divine Brahma rune on it. As a son of Brahma, he had the ability to manipulate the rune. However, his power was far from enough to detonate the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone. That was why he was extracting the white dragon race’s sacred energy.
This process would cause the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone to detonate, but the divine Brahma rune would remain intact, sealing half of the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone’s power for Lu Fan’s use.
The remaining half would be shared among all the experts present. As the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone’s power was too immense, there was no way for Lu Fan to absorb it all. Hence, after its detonation, ninety-nine percent of its power would be sealed in the divine Brahma rune.
According to Lu Fan’s plans, he intended to absorb the energy sealed within the divine Brahma rune to dramatically boost his cultivation base. With this power, he wouldn’t need to rely on medicinal pills or conventional cultivation methods. The energy from the rune alone could propel him to become a nine-vein Heaven Saint and potentially even touch the boundary to the Human Emperor realm.
Despite Long Chen’s unexpected arrival, Lu Fan remained calm and even exhilarated, as he was the master of this battlefield. He believed that Long Chen wouldn’t be able to get away even if he grew wings.
As the divine pressure from the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone intensified, Bai Yingxue and the others were alarmed. They could feel their bloodline power being drained at an alarming rate, driven by the Sourcestone’s immense might.
“Long Chen, run! The Heavenly Flame Sourcestone is going to explode!” shouted Bai Yingxue. With her bloodline being extracted, she could sense the state of Heavenly Flame Sourcestone and could tell that it was on the verge of exploding.
Once the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone exploded, its terrifying power would annihilate everything in its vicinity, including the altar beneath them. If Long Chen didn’t escape, he would be obliterated along with everyone else. No one could possibly endure the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone’s power.
“Don’t worry, Long Chen won’t run. He isn’t the kind of person to abandon others. Otherwise, how would he have the face to live in this world?” Li Tianfan retorted sharply. His words were meant to trap Long Chen by playing on his sense of responsibility.
Long Chen merely sneered at Li Tianfan’s attempt. “What pathetic tricks. Don’t embarrass yourself like this. Do you think a mere Brahma rune can hold me back?”
With that, Long Chen extended his hand toward the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone. As he activated a rune on his palm, life energy surged forth, shaking the heavens and earth with its overwhelming force.
“Earth Dao - Limitless Soul Return!”
Long Chen slammed his hand down on the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone. Instead of the expected explosion or noise, the vast life energy he wielded caused the Sourcestone to immediately go still. The Brahma rune flickered and dimmed in response.
Bai Yingxue and the others watched in disbelief as the bloodline power that had been siphoned from their bodies started to rapidly return.
“What?!” Lu Fan’s eyes widened in disbelief. The Brahma rune should have been something only he, as a son of Brahma, could activate. Even Han Qianye[1] would be powerless against it. However, it was actually suppressed by Long Chen, and the energy it had extracted was restored to Bai Yingxue and the others. In other words, all their previous efforts were for naught.
“Bastard! You can’t stop me!” Lu Fan roared.
As a divine statue of Brahma appeared behind Lu Fan, he started to chant and form rapid hand seals. The Brahma rune ignited, and Bai Yingxue and the others cried out as their bloodline power was sucked away again. They were unable to resist at all.
Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu also sensed their bloodline power leaving their bodies. If this continued, it would only take a few breaths before their bloodline power was fully extracted.
“I can’t stop you? Hehe, I don’t believe you,” taunted Long Chen. He seemed to have anticipated Lu Fan’s response.
“Demon Moon Cauldron!”
When the Earth Cauldron appeared in Long Chen’s grasp, he gave it a light tap against the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone.
Yes, it was only a light tap, as light as cracking an egg.
Crack.
As the corner of the Earth Cauldron tapped the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, a web of cracks rapidly spread across its surface. Long Chen had called out the name of the Demon Moon Cauldron, but in reality, he had summoned the Earth Cauldron. While it wasn’t a weapon of destruction, it was far from useless.
After the cracks formed, the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone’s aura instantly became unstable, and a terrifying pressure surged, causing every expert present to tense up. Li Tianfan and the others’ expressions completely changed, and they immediately ordered their people to retreat.
BOOM!
Finally, countless rock fragments shot out of the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, but contrary to expectations, no immense explosion followed.
Hundreds of meters of thick rock shot outward, but this was merely the outer shell of the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone. It resembled a chicken egg with its shell cracked away. Now, only a thin, multicolored membrane remained around the radiant Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, which shone brilliantly with all the colors of the rainbow. Heavenly Flame runes swirled wildly within it.
The Heavenly Flame Sourcestone now resembled a brilliant lantern shining with all the colors of the rainbow, its light transforming the world into a breathtaking wonderland.
Everyone was stunned by this sight. They hadn’t anticipated that the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone was essentially a stone egg. As the stone shell was removed, the raw energy of all the flames in existence was revealed in a dazzling display.
The intense heat radiating from it was overwhelming. Their pores opened instinctively, and the energy within them surged wildly. Weaker experts were unable to control themselves and broke through to higher realms almost instantly.
Lu Fan’s expression shifted to one of alarm as he charged at the stone egg. Li Tianfan, Luo Yujiao, Qin Keqing, Netherdragon Wushang, Huang Wudao, and the others also surged forward. This was their prime opportunity to seize the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, and they couldn’t afford to miss it.
“Don’t fight over it. This is all mine!” Long Chen declared, and with that, he leaped into the heart of the egg.
BOOM!
The egg exploded in a colossal burst, releasing a wave of flame energy that ignited the entire world.
