Chapter 249 Defeat Old Man Mu Gu
"Five-wheel Fire Separation Technique..."

Skyfire Venerable's heart skipped a beat, a fire flashing in his eyes. Even at his peak, this method had never truly unleashed its full power. The requirement for four kinds of strange fire was too demanding.

However, Lin Yuan has now completely satisfied this stringent requirement.

This strange fire formation that is powerful enough to compete with heavenly-level fighting skills is finally going to burst out with its brilliance today!

"Fallen Heart Flame, and another new kind of strange fire?"

"Haha, four kinds of strange fires, very good, very good. It seems that the harvest this time will be beyond imagination..." Seeing the four strange fires in front of Lin Yuan, old man Mu Gu was slightly surprised, and then laughed out loud.

Although he was smiling, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. This Dou Zong kid was able to get four kinds of strange fire. There was something devilish about him.

However, he could not retreat and had to kill Lin Yuan here.

The other party is an eighth-grade alchemist who is less than 20 years old. If he doesn't die, he will definitely be taken seriously by the high-level officials of the Soul Palace. As for me, who disobeyed orders...

Thinking of this, a fierce look appeared in old man Mu Gu's eyes.

He must kill this boy here, take away his strange fire and opportunity, enhance his alchemy skills, and increase his irreplaceability in the Soul Palace.

Having made up his mind, old man Mu Gu's eyes flashed, and he clenched his hands. A strange gray-blue crystal layer burst out from his body, and then formed a huge crystal claw in front of him like lightning.

The claw took shape, and he waved his sleeves, and the crystal claw disappeared out of thin air!
Seeing this, Lin Yuan had a hint of purple in his eyes. He fluttered his Heavenly Phoenix Wings violently and ripples appeared in the air as he stepped with mysterious steps.

"Lihuo Fentian!"

He also projected a huge amount of fighting spirit and soul power into four balls of strange fire, which flew out in all directions.

The next moment, the space in front of Lin Yuan suddenly began to fluctuate violently. The crystal claws forcibly penetrated the space and grabbed him fiercely, and the space around him was directly solidified!
Lin Yuan's body glowed purple, and with a flash of his figure, he passed through the twisted space without any delay, avoiding the attack.

However, when his figure appeared not far away, the space in front of him suddenly began to fluctuate, as if he had expected it, and old man Mu Gu had already flashed in front of him.

"Hehehe, how can the same move be effective against me? Die!"

The ghost claw covered with crystals suddenly swept across Lin Yuan's neck in the look of panic in Lin Yuan's eyes. The space rippled and "Lin Yuan" disappeared.

"Illusion? No, it's a shadow projected from space... Damn it!"

Old man Mu Gu suddenly glanced around, and "Lin Yuan" appeared in the space around him, seeming real and unreal, and even his spiritual soul could hardly tell the real from the fake.

"Void Travel·Illusion Weaving!"

The second level of the power of the high-level earth-level physical fighting skill Void Wandering was displayed by Lin Yuan at this moment.

While Mu Gu was attacking and hesitating, the four strange fires also began to change. The Qianlan Heart Flame split into two, turning into a ball of azure fire and a ball of invisible fire. Then the five balls of flame began to wriggle rapidly.

"Wolf Spirit·Condensation!"

"Leopard Spirit·Condensation!"

"Lion Spirit·Condensation!"

"Tiger Spirit·Condensation!"

"Jiao Ling·Condensation!"

The five spirits took shape, the strange fire formed a formation, and the terrifying temperature immediately filled the entire sky.

The trees in the entire valley turned yellow and dry at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally exploded into ashes with a loud bang. Even the dark clouds in the distant sky were evaporated and became thinner.

The space rippled slightly, and Lin Yuan's real body appeared at the center of the Five Spiritual Fire Array.

"call--"

Feeling the rapid loss of his fighting spirit and soul power, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and then looked at old man Mu Gu with disdain.

"What kind of fighting skill is this?"

Feeling the fierce power filling the sky, old man Mu Gu opened his mouth, and his voice unconsciously became a little dry. Seeing Lin Yuan's eyes filled with confidence and murderous intent, his confident face turned pale.

He had a strange feeling that the move that this Dou Zong boy was planning could really take his life.

"It's not a good time to engage head-on now. We'll look for opportunities to launch a surprise attack later. Retreat first..."

Thinking of this, Elder Mu Gu no longer cared about his dignity and punched out. A dark space passage was about to emerge, but...

"Senior Yao, it's now!"

Lin Yuan shouted loudly, drawing out part of his own and blood soul's soul power, and injected it into the snow-white ring on his hand.

"Five-wheel Lihuo, Lihuo Locking Sky Formation!"

With a loud shout, the Skyfire Venerable who was on standby suddenly appeared, and the last seal on his hand fell. Suddenly, pillars of light rose up from all five directions of the valley, reflecting the spiritual energy of the five strange fires.

A transparent light shield was instantly formed, completely blocking the entire valley.

The space channel that old man Mu Gu tried to open up was completely eliminated as the energy within the light shield rippled.

He looked at the five fire spirits and the light shield, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

"The formation was prepared in advance. The light shield it generated is connected to the five strange fire beasts. We can't break the light shield unless we defeat them. Damn it... It was a setup... This kid really wants to kill me!"

Lin Yuan didn't care about old man Mu Gu's thoughts.

Seeing that the opponent's retreat was blocked, Lin Yuan swallowed the recovery pill in his mouth and changed his hand seal immediately.

"Five rounds of fire disk!"

As the shout came, the five fire spirits around it each howled towards the sky, then spun up at high speed.

Under this terrifying rotation, the space where Lin Yuan was located collapsed directly, and huge black cracks appeared in the sky.

"Bam—"

Along with the rapid rotation of the five fire spirits, in a few blinks of an eye, a huge five-colored fire disk nearly a hundred feet in size appeared above Lin Yuan's head. The sonic boom sound and the terrifying energy that spread during the rapid rotation were extremely breathtaking.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Skyfire's eyes showed a hint of pride. The ultimate level of the Five Wheels Fire Technique was indeed enough to rival the Heavenly Grade Fighting Skills!

“Heaven… Heaven-level fighting skills!!”

Old man Mu Gu looked at the five-colored fire disk in disbelief. The terrifying power made him feel terrified, and even his voice trembled a little.

Why would a heavenly-level fighting skill that is extremely rare even in Zhongzhou appear in such a remote place?
Without time to think about it, old man Mu Gu took a deep breath, and his dry hands slipped out of his sleeves, and then he formed seals at lightning speed.

"Netherworld Demon Fire Arm!"

The moment the seal was formed, he suddenly clenched his palm, and layers of crystals spread from his arm, transforming into a huge and crystal clear claw. Then gray-blue flames gushed out from his body and immediately poured into the giant claw.

As the flames were injected, a huge flaming arm extended out, and as the gray-blue flames rose, it looked like an arm of the underworld.

"Death to me!"

With a loud shout, old man Mu Gu did not dare to underestimate the enemy and launched his strongest attack without hesitation.

The handprint suddenly condensed, and the giant flaming arm surrounded by flames suddenly rushed up and bombarded Lin Yuan above. Along the way, the space suddenly collapsed, revealing many dark space holes.

"Leave the fire, extinguish!"

Lin Yuan's handprint changed, and the huge five-colored fire disk made a "boom" sound, like a meteorite falling to the ground, cutting through the sky and falling towards the old man Mu Gu... "Boom——"

At the moment of collision, a deafening sound was like thunder in the sky, suddenly resounding throughout the area within a hundred miles.

A terrifying fire storm took shape in an instant, and then swept wildly in all directions. The entire valley began to tremble under this raging energy storm.

Two destructive forces continued to collide with each other in the sky.

The space above the valley trembled violently, and countless spatial cracks that were several feet wide spread out like a spider web, tearing the entire world into pieces.

"Click - click -"

As the two forces clashed and stalemate, the space began to collapse in pieces, forming huge space voids. These deep voids swallowed up all light, making the entire valley look even more eerie and terrifying.

The stalemate between the two did not last long, and the balance was soon completely broken.

Under the crush of the five-colored fire disk, the Netherworld Fire Arm quickly showed signs of exhaustion and was completely suppressed under the colorful light, as if it would go out at any time.

"Impossible...how is this possible..."

Feeling the terrifying power in the five-colored fire disk, old man Mu Gu's eyes widened with disbelief. He could never have imagined that he, as a Dou Zun powerful man, would be forced into such a desperate situation by a Dou Zong boy.

However, there was no fluctuation on Lin Yuan's face, only coldness and determination.

"Disappear, old man Mu Gu!!!"

With a cold shout, his eyes and handprints condensed at the same time, and a blazing light burst out from the five-colored fire disk, and the five-colored fire disk trembled violently...

"Click——"

The Netherworld Demon Fire Arm was unable to withstand this terrifying force. It cracked inch by inch, and then exploded, turning into a gray-blue fire storm and scattered in all directions.

"How can it be so strong?"

When old man Mu Gu saw this, he screamed and a thick black mist burst out from the surface of his body.

The five-colored fire disk continued to move forward in front of his horrified eyes, instantly engulfing his figure and slamming him onto the ground.

"boom--"

A huge roar suddenly rang out.

The five-colored fire disk landed on the ground, and violent energy completely exploded. A terrifying fire storm swept out, and the entire valley suddenly trembled violently. Huge cracks of several feet in size quickly spread out and then extended to the end of the sight...

The spreading energy flames destroyed everything with ease, razing large tracts of forest to the ground.

Energy ripples spread out, and the earth shook violently as if it was about to overturn.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a huge, deep pit hundreds of feet in diameter appeared in Lin Yuan's sight.

"found it!"

Lin Yuan, who had been using his soul power to probe the situation, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes. He flashed and appeared in front of a charred corpse under the huge pit, and then...

"Sunday Seal!"

He swung out with his palm, and the light mark from his palm instantly fell on the head of the corpse, directly blowing up old man Mu Gu's head.

"Haha, playing this kind of trick in front of me, boring——"

With a sneer, purple music flowed in Lin Yuan's eyes and paused in an empty void space. Then he slammed his palm hard on it. The space suddenly fluctuated, and then a palm-sized space crack appeared.

Then, Lin Yuan slightly bent his hand, and a suction force surged out. Then, an illusory soul body was forcibly pulled out from the void space.

This soul body is exactly the soul body of old man Mu Gu.

The moment he was pulled out, he punched Lin Yuan with a ferocious look on his face.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and the majestic Fallen Heart Flame suddenly surged out from his palm, wrapping up the illusory soul body.

"what--"

The shrill screams echoed throughout the entire pit.

As they were both souls from the spiritual realm, Lin Yuan knew very well how powerful old man Mu Gu's soul was.

Naturally, he also understood how to eliminate its danger.

With an indifferent smile, Lin Yuan pinched his hands, and the invisible flame rotated and deformed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a fire cauldron. The soul-refining power of the heart flame was fully released, and the "hissing" sound of burning souls continued to ring out along with the wailing of old man Mu Gu.

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan retracted the Fallen Heart Flame, revealing the soul of the dying old man Mu Gu.

"How does the strange fire, the Fallen Heart Flame, taste?" Lin Yuan looked at the old man Mu Gu with interest, and asked with a smile: "Do you still want to take my strange fire and take my life?"

"No...you must kill me, otherwise...the Soul Palace will not let you go!" The extremely weak old man Mu Gu spoke intermittently.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, you still have some use!"

Lin Yuan chuckled, set a restriction on its soul, took out a jade bottle covered with some runes, stuffed the soul into it, sealed it with an invisible flame, and finally put the jade bottle into the Ring of the Dark Sea.

It is better to be cautious when dealing with a soul in the spiritual realm...

After taking a long breath, Lin Yuan thought for a moment and added to the Dark Sea Ring: "It's temporary... I won't kill you for the time being, hehe..."

"Is it over?" The figure of Skyfire Reverend appeared beside Lin Yuan.

"It's over!" Lin Yuan stretched his body lazily and chuckled, "It's really not easy to deal with a three-star Dou Zun. Thank you so much this time, Senior Yao, I really don't know how to thank you..."

If it weren’t for the formation of Lord Tianhuo, it would be really difficult to stop a fleeing Dou Zun.

“Haha!” Skyfire Venerable shook his head and said faintly, “I am very satisfied to have witnessed the ultimate power of the Five-Wheeled Fire Method this time!”

"Is that so?" Lin Yuan stroked his chin and promised: "Three years later, when the origin of the strange fire is fully restored, I will give you a few seed fires!"

"A few...seed fires!" Upon hearing this, Venerable Skyfire was immediately excited.

After a moment's hesitation, he did not refuse. Instead, he took a deep breath, bowed to Lin Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Yuan, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will remember your kindness in my heart. I will also hand my life over to you. You can drive the pond from now on."

After realizing Lin Yuan's strength, magnanimity, and generosity towards his own people, Venerable Tianhuo put his own future on the table.

"Senior, there is no need to be polite."

Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand, raised it up, and said solemnly: "With the help of the seniors, I will be able to achieve great things in the future!"

The two looked at each other and nodded slightly, and a tacit understanding was born.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan turned around and looked at the head-exploded corpse of Elder Mu Gu, and said helplessly: "This body is badly damaged, it seems that it can't be used as resurrection material. I will help you get a better one after I go to Zhongzhou!"

As he spoke, he walked to the corpse, took the ring off its hand, and put the body away.

The physique of the Dou Zun has undergone a transformation, and his bones have many special functions. They can even be considered as extremely high-quality materials in the fields of refining equipment and setting up formations.

Looking at the blue storage ring in his hand, a smile appeared on Lin Yuan's lips.

"A Dou Zun plus an eighth-rank alchemist, I hope this harvest won't disappoint me, hehehe..."
