The Prodigies War

Chapter 1908: The Power of Smoldering Flames

The influential figures all froze as they revealed shocked expressions.

The aura of the Emperor Stage?

At this moment, Lu Dubu's power felt like it had reached the highest peak.

In the arena, Lin Xun's eyes narrowed as a rarely-experienced tremor ran through his mind.

This must be fake!

Lin Xun was very sure of this. If Lu Dubu had stepped into the Emperor Stage, then how could he participate in Cloud State’s Dao Debate Contest?

What really surprised Lin Xun was that he could not spot a flaw in this even though he had ample amounts of combat experience. This showed that the Emperor Stage aura emanating from Lu Dubu was too real!

Boom!

Lu Dubu moved, resembling a god who controlled the universe and was traversing the Big Dipper. With a wave of his hand, it looked like the sun and the moon had flipped over, and all directions were reversed.

The unparalleled and dazzling dao light turned into a magnificent and vast torrent that enveloped Lin Xun.

Countless people broke out in cold sweat and were terrified. Such a mighty force was not something ordinary supreme Saint-Kings could defend against!

Jin Duyi...was in danger!

At this moment, Lin Xun suddenly laughed.

Around him a divine red haze was sweeping up and a sky-scorching, earth-rendering aura began to be released. Originally, he was as solid and as dignified as a mountain, but now he resembled a fire god born from sacred flames.

He was violent, wanton, and flamboyant as fire!

Instead of retreating, he rushed forward like a sea of ??fire covering the sky and earth, burning fiercely and colliding with the oncoming unparalleled torrent.

Boom~~

Lu Dubu's attack was filled with the might of the Emperor Stage, but when it collided, it turned into ashes inch by inch after being completely burned!

"This..."

The whole audience trembled, and some people realized at this moment that Lu Dubu's attack that was filled with the might of the Emperor Stage was obviously not real.

Otherwise, how could it be defeated so easily?

"Kill!"

When Lu Dubu attacked again, eliciting a shower of light, everyone fell into a trance again. The aura of an Emperor in the blow came at them, making them feel terrified and depressed.

How could this be fake?

Many people were almost confused. Was Lu Dubu, who seemed to be an Emperor at this moment, real or fake?

However, they were then completely entranced by Lin Xun's response.

They saw him flash forward like fire, invading like the wind. Wherever he passed, all of Lu Dubu's attacks were burned and turned into ashes.

The terrifying power filled with the might of an Emperor looked extremely unstable in front of him!

This was undoubtedly incredible.

"It seems that although Lu Dubu's power feels as terrifying as an Emperor’s, it is not real."

At this point, many people came to this realization with their faces full of amazement. Even though this was fake, who could tell the difference when fighting?

Furthermore, if Lu Dubu used this power when someone was caught off guard, even a quasi-Emperor would be shocked and lose their marbles!

"Have you noticed that Jin Duyi has also changed? Before, he was as steady as a mountain, giving people a sense of being unshakable, but now he is as violent as fire, wantonly wild, and the power he is releasing is full of a terrifying incineration and destruction aura. It's like he has become another person,” remarked someone emotionally.

In fact, there was no need to remind everyone present. Everyone had already noticed this, and they were all astonished and found it incredibly difficult to calm down.

Boom!

On the battlefield, the fight was only getting more and more intense.

Lin Xun's skills were becoming more and more powerful. He was like a scorching fire that was burning the sky and destroying the earth. He was violent and domineering, aggressive and fierce as he rampaged in the battlefield.

On the other hand, while Lu Dubu's power was terrifying, he was in a constant defensive state during the fight.

"Why did this guy suddenly become someone completely different?"

Lu Dubu's expression was already filled with surprise.

In the past few days, he had focused on studying Lin Xun's fighting methods and style and thought he had already seen through most of them.

However, who would have thought that Lin Xun's strategies and fighting methods would completely change today? It was like he had become someone completely different.

This made him feel caught off guard.

In fact, neither Lu Dubu nor the others present knew that Lin Xun had always used his Yellow Earth Dao Body in the past.

In contrast, today, he was using his Red Flame Dao Body!

The innate power of his two Dao Bodies and their subsequent fighting styles were naturally completely different from each other.

Boom!

A rain of fire attacked, and just as Lu Dubu had resolved it, Lin Xun had moved through the void and confronted him as he raised his fist in an attack.

Divine flames surged all over him, and strands of scorching fire were floating around his hair. They were bright, blazing, and extremely terrifying.

After a muffled collision, Lu Dubu was wreathed in divine flames as he shook and retreated back several steps. His clothes had been burned, leaving scorch marks behind.

Amidst the audience’s exclamations, Lin Xun continued his offensive like a raging storm. Flames burst out of his fists and covered the sky and the earth. He was drowning Lu Dubu with them.

All of a sudden, Lu Dubu was completely in a disadvantaged and passive state!

"This kid is too strong..."

Guan Xu looked solemn.

Other bigwigs were also shocked.

Today's Jin Duyi was completely different from before, which was unimaginable. They couldn't imagine how a person's fighting style could change so much.

"Life is all an illusion, my dao is real!" howled Lu Dubu as he revealed another hidden trick.

His figure suddenly turned into an illusory rain of light, which then morphed into the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, the universe, and the ups and downs of the world...

All kinds of strange visions, imprinted with the mysterious power of the dao, enveloped Lin Xun as if they were trying to suppress him in a world.

It transformed into a Great Dao Field!

This was the ultimate power of Life Passes Like a Dream.

Being trapped in it was like trying to fight against a complete world by yourself!

At this moment, Lin Xun immediately stopped moving and raised his head slightly. His eyes opened and closed, and a series of terrifying visions emerged.

Finally, two beams of fire flashed in his pupils and swept out.

Boom!

In this dreamlike world, everything was annihilated and turned into ashes wherever the flames passed. The laws of nature, the sun, the moon, the stars, the changes of all things...were all burned to a crisp and were melted away by the terrifying flames!

In the end, the whole world sank with a loud bang, bursting with endless flames.

Burning the sky and the earth, turning everything into ashes!

These were the Eyes of Smoldering Flames!

"Ah——"

Shrieks of pain rang out on the battlefield.

Then Lu Dubu rushed out of the storm of flames in a panic. His clothes were tattered and his exposed skin was burnt black, looking extremely miserable.

The whole place was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was shocked, and their hearts were in turmoil.

Lu Dubu...had been defeated!

He was a legendary figure who had long been famous in Cloud State. He was as dazzling as the sun in the sky and had always been regarded as the pride of Cloud State.

But today, at the top of Immortal Martial Peak, he was defeated by Jin Duyi!

Seeing him screaming while horribly disheveled and covered in burns made everyone feel like they were dreaming.

When the flames dissipated and the battlefield returned to calmness, Lu Dubu panted for a long time before saying bitterly, "Brother Jin is stronger than me. I have lost..."

Everyone stared and was shocked and speechless for a moment.

"There will always be people better than you, Dubu, and it is not shameful for you to lose. When the Dao Debate Assembly begins, there will definitely be more peerless figures like Jin Duyi. You can't just give up."

Guan Xu interjected in a deep voice.

Lu Dubu was the pride of Cloud State and the crowning glory of the Great Void Sect. Guan Xu couldn't help but worry whether such a big defeat would affect Lu Dubu's state of mind.

"Master, don't worry about me."

Lu Dubu cupped his fists and walked down from the battlefield.

Seeing that he looked calm, Guan Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Take a break. In a quarter of an hour, you will face Wu Huang."

Lu Dubu nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to meditate.

Lin Xun walked down the stage, but when everyone looked at him again, the expressions of everyone present had subtly changed.

Lu Dubu had been undoubtedly the best.

Jin Duyi had been unique and uncontested.

The battle between the two had ended with Jin Duyi winning. This result made everyone realize that this young man who had emerged as a dark horse in the first round of selection had been far more hidden than they had imagined!

At this moment, Xie Yuhua also remembered Madam Yu’s observation.

It is impossible to overestimate such a person.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Dubu stepped onto the battlefield again, but his opponent had changed to Wu Huang.

If he lost again in this battle, he would be destined to be ranked third, behind Lin Xun and Wu Huang.

"Lu Dubu, I have seen all your cards. You will definitely lose this battle,” said Wu Huang calmly.

He was wearing a black robe, his long hair was loose, and there was a terrifying and strange light in his gray-brown pupils.

"Really? Then wait and see."

Lu Dubu looked calm.

Boom!

Wu Huang attacked without hesitation. He flashed like a shadow of gray fog that was strange and unpredictable as he went on the offensive against Lu Dubu.

In his palm was a bronze wheel that was humming and spinning as a bloody and thick divine light flowed around it. The terrifying aura it exuded made the world change color.

This time, he had actually started with his Emperor-grade treasure!

Obviously, he did not intend to spend too much time with Lu Dubu because, in the next round, he would have to fight with Lin Xun. If he could finish this quickly, he could save a lot of physical strength.

"Ridiculous, do you think I don't have an Emperor-grade treasure?"

Lu Dubu revealed a hint of ridicule. Before he finished speaking, a pagoda rose into the air, ancient and full of a primitive aura.

Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda!

In an instant, everyone present knew what this was because the second round of selections had been held in this tower.

However, no one expected that Lu Dubu would reveal this treasure at this time!

After all, this was a treasure of the Great Void Sect. It was rumored that it was a mysterious ancient artifact that had come out of an uncharted land.

"You..."

Wu Huang's eyes flickered as he was obviously a little surprised.

Before he could react, the bronze wheel was already fighting against the Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda. The two terrifying treasures were clashing against each other, just like two gods brawling. The former flowed with billions of streams of bloody divine light, making it resemble a bloody purgatory that was oppressing the world.

The Great Void Dao Refining Pagoda shot out rays of divine light rain that rushed up to the sky and spread in all directions. Its power was not any less terrifying.

For a moment, the battlefield shook violently, covered by signs of turbulent and chaotic destruction!
