Chapter 279
The Great Sun Golden Flame.
Adam rarely used this, because the Great Sun Golden Flame was a Primordial Chaos Spirit, a supreme existence in heaven and earth, exposing even a sliver of it could cause a massive, world-shaking uproar.
But right now, apart from this bizarre entity, there were no outsiders present, so Adam didn’t need to worry.
This was the perfect opportunity to let this guy test the absolute might of the Great Sun Golden Flame.
"What... what kind of flame is that?!" The youth’s voice trembled, and his headless body actually began to slowly back away.
"You’ll know once you taste it!" The corners of Adam’s mouth curled up, with a flick of his finger, a spark of the flame leaped onto the youth’s headless body.
"Ahhh!" The youth’s miserable shriek instantly erupted, filled with absolute agony. Endless black smoke began billowing from his body.
"No! No, it hurts! Stop, I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!" the youth screamed in torment.
The Great Sun Golden Flame could incinerate all things in the world, no matter what kind of demonic freak this guy was, he would inevitably be burned to ashes.
"Wouldn’t it have been better if you just did this from the start? Why subject yourself to such suffering?" Adam retracted the flame, looking mockingly at the youth, whose body was now half-charred pitch-black.
"I... Ahhh!!!"
Just as the youth was about to speak, a terrifying power instantly crushed down from above.
In less than a second, the youth was melted into a puddle of bloody water.
Adam violently retreated backward, his face ashen, he looked toward the highest point of the ruined city wall, where a young girl stood.
She wore black-and-cyan robes and a small cyan jade crown on her head.
The girl was slender and highly attractive, her skin was a ghastly, pale bluish-green, but even that couldn’t conceal her striking beauty.
"Young Master!" Cecilia sensed something was wrong immediately and arrived at Adam’s side, they both knew this was a much more formidable figure.
The pale-green girl held a massive pitch-black writing brush in her hand, her eyes were indifferent as she looked at the two of them, a mocking smile at the corners of her lips.
"You two do possess a bit of strength, what a pity, you still won’t be able to escape this place." The girl’s voice was crisp but chilling, as if it originated from the Nine Netherworlds.
"This place is the end of the world, and also the place of a new beginning, you cannot escape." The girl swung her writing brush, and a streak of black light instantly pressed down toward them.
"Careful!" Adam pulled Cecilia back while simultaneously swinging his sword.
The Great Sun Golden Flame erupted instantly, carrying terrifying sword qi as it crashed into the black light.
The combination of the Great Sun Golden Flame and the Yellow Emperor’s Sword Qi could be considered the ultimate bane of all dark and evil forces.
However, in the collision with that pitch-black writing brush, they couldn’t gain the upper hand at all, in fact, there were faint signs of being suppressed.
The terrifying impact caused the surrounding ruins to collapse instantly, sending dust and smoke billowing into the air.
The girl’s figure flashed, appearing right in front of Adam in the very next moment, the writing brush thrust straight at him like a spear.
Adam gripped his sword to block.
A terrifying force surged down the blade and assaulted his arm. Adam felt a sudden chill, as if his arm had been plunged into an icy cavern. His expression shifted, and he hurriedly retreated.
The girl’s gaze was indifferent, staring at them without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"You cannot escape. Even if you possess that golden flame, it’s useless." Her voice remained cold as she slowly walked toward them.
"Because I possess the power of Limitless Profound Ice!"
Watching the approaching girl, Adam’s brows locked together, Limitless Profound Ice? That was a Primordial Chaos Spirit on par with the Great Sun Golden Flame.
But hadn’t it been devoured by the Great Sun Golden Flame? How could someone else still possess it?
The girl’s cultivation realm was much higher than his own, roughly at the Sixth Heaven of the Deity Realm, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to struggle this much.
"Cecilia, stay close to me, we’ll find an opportunity to retreat."
Adam didn’t want to fight head-on, putting aside whether he could win, this place seemed to be the enemy’s main base, even if he defeated the girl, what if an even stronger enemy appeared? They still wouldn’t be able to leave.
Better to use this opportunity to find a way out, you only live once, when the going gets tough, bailing out isn’t shameful, he could always come back for revenge later.
Adam was at the Fourth Heaven of the Deity Realm, while the other party was at least at the Sixth Heaven, although he had slain several Sixth Heaven Deities before, they had all been ordinary ones.
Even if considered strong, they wouldn’t exceed their realm’s standard power by much.
But the person before him was completely different, her strength was formidable, and combined with this being her home ground, Adam didn’t want to waste more time, leaving was the best option.
What was happening in this place was simply too bizarre.
Adam fought while searching for an escape opportunity, he and Cecilia carefully circled and skirmished with the girl, searching for her flaws, Adam’s heart was filled with doubts.
Why did this girl possess the power of Limitless Profound Ice? Was it not devoured by the Great Sun Golden Flame? Or was there another hidden secret?
He pondered internally, but his hands didn’t dare pause for a moment, he countered the girl’s attacks while observing her aura, hunting for a weakness.
Cecilia also did her utmost to cooperate and find a breakthrough, for her current level, fighting a battle of this caliber was still quite difficult.
Suddenly, Adam’s eyes flickered, he found a sliver of an opening in the girl’s offensive, though minuscule, it was enough to serve as their breakthrough point.
"Cecilia, get ready!" Adam whispered, his voice low but filled with absolute resolve.
