Chapter 174: Southern Radiant Fire, the Outcome is Decided

On the platform.

Looking at the fireballs that resembled blazing suns, Ye Chen’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. With a casual raise of his hand, a golden dragon spiraled up from above his head. The dragon scattered golden rays of light, forming a protective divine glow around Ye Chen.

Li Feihuang smiled faintly, a hint of pride in her eyes. The Fireball spell she cast was far more terrifying than a full-force strike from an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. No matter what kind of protective divine light was used, it would be unable to withstand it.

Without hesitation, one massive fireball slammed down. As it made contact with Ye Chen’s protective divine light, it exploded with a deafening roar. From the sound of the explosion, the immense power of the fireball was evident.

Yet, even after taking such a horrifying blow head-on, the protective divine light around Ye Chen didn’t even tremble. This immediately drew gasps of astonishment from the audience. They began discussing what kind of spell Ye Chen’s protective divine light was.

Li Feihuang’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise. But she quickly smiled. In the next moment, the remaining eight fireballs lined up like eight stars, resembling the setting sun, and came crashing down.

The massive fireballs collided with Ye Chen’s protective divine light one after another. The terrifying flames exploded in succession.

Ye Chen was completely enveloped in flames. The audience could no longer see anything clearly. Even the surrounding array formations around the platform began to tremble. The sheer power of the blasts left the spectators in shock. Who among those at the Foundation Establishment stage could withstand such a terrifying spell? To the crowd, there was no doubt that Ye Chen would be defeated.

However, when the firelight dissipated, the crowd was stunned. Ye Chen was still standing leisurely in place, his protective divine light still shining brightly with golden radiance.

In the face of such terrifying attacks, Ye Chen remained unfazed, not moving a single step. His defense was so strong, it had clearly exceeded everyone’s expectations. This only made the audience more excited. After all, compared to one-sided battles, people preferred a fair, evenly matched fight.

…

At this moment, Li Feihuang narrowed her eyes. She was about to cast an even more terrifying spell.

However, Ye Chen no longer needed to defend. With a wave of his hand, the golden dragon that had been circling above his head roared forward with a thunderous sound.

Ye Chen swung his hand, and countless swords’ shadows materialized behind him. In an instant, it seemed as though a storm of swords filled the sky, hurtling toward Li Feihuang.

The momentum of the attack was just as terrifying as the nine blazing suns that Li Feihuang had summoned earlier.

Li Feihuang raised an eyebrow. It was unexpected, but she wasn’t panicking. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a massive bird made of flames, sending it to collide with the golden dragon.

At the same time, a wall of fire appeared in front of her, blocking the incoming sword rain.

Li Feihuang had expected to easily deal with Ye Chen’s counterattack. But the next moment, her expression changed. The flaming giant bird was instantly scattered by the golden dragon. The fire wall began to dim, nearly collapsing under the onslaught of the sword rain.

How could this be?

Ye Chen was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. How could his spiritual power be so terrifying? The spot for the Divine Will Sect’s direct disciple was something she had to secure.

Gritting her teeth, Li Feihuang activated her Fire Phoenix Spirit Body. Her previously black pupils turned a pale golden color.

However, the flames obscured her eyes, making it hard for others to see clearly. As Li Feihuang activated her Fire Phoenix Spirit Body, the accompanying spiritual fire, the Southern Radiant Fire, was immediately ignited. Her fire-based spells grew even more powerful.

A massive bird, resembling a phoenix, flew out and collided violently with the golden dragon. The fire wall grew even stronger, blocking all of the swords energy.

Li Feihuang smiled confidently. To have forced her to activate the Fire Phoenix Spirit Body, Ye Chen was already impressive in his own right. But this was the end.
