Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 306: Ancient Hall Demon Vine

The injured giant elephant ahead let out an angry roar. The flames on its body erupted fiercely, becoming even more terrifying than before. These flames gathered above its head, forming a black fireball that looked like a dark sun from a distance. It radiated a destructive force that instantly turned the surrounding forest to ash.

Ye Qingwu’s body trembled as she felt this power, her face filled with despair. This power is too terrifying... I wonder if Lin Xuan can withstand it?

The giant elephant roared and swung its trunk, sending the dark sun hurtling forward. The void twisted in its wake, seemingly unable to bear the force.

Lin Xuan clenched his hand and threw a punch. "World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist!"

The punch slammed into the dark sun, shattering it with a deafening explosion.

The power of the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist continued unabated as a colossal Serpent phantom roared and materialized. It arrived before the giant elephant in an instant. The Serpent’s Dragon Claw swung out, tearing the elephant’s body open. With a final wail, the giant elephant collapsed.

An instant kill.

Behind him, Ye Qingwu and the others were in utter shock.

「In the distance.」

Hidden in the forest, Chu Yue was completely dumbfounded. An instant kill? How is that possible? How can his strength be so formidable? Chu Yue felt like she was going mad. She had thought the gap between her and Lin Xuan was widening before, but only now did she realize there was a world of difference between them. He remained a towering, peerless genius whom she could only look up to.

Chu Yue was on the brink of collapse. Will I never be able to catch up to him in this lifetime?

Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang fell to their knees, trembling uncontrollably.

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of others nearby. People turned their heads to look. Seeing the destructive aura erupt, someone exclaimed, "A huge battle broke out! Let’s go see!"

They rushed over, but by the time they arrived, Lin Xuan and his group had already left.

The giant elephant’s corpse lay on the ground, its blood pooling into a river and emitting a baleful, bloody aura. A figure stood beside the corpse—a tall man holding a Dragon Spear. It was the Crown Prince. Upon seeing this, the surrounding people exclaimed, "Was it the Crown Prince who did this?"

"The aura from this giant elephant is terrifying! Look at its black flames; they’re like Demon Fire. I can feel a deadly threat even from this far away!"

"This was definitely a Grandmaster-level Demon Beast."

"Only the Crown Prince could have possibly killed such a beast."

The Crown Prince stood there, his brow furrowed. He hadn’t been the one to slay this giant elephant. He had heard the rumbling and came over to investigate, but by the time he arrived, he found no one else, only the fallen beast. This giant elephant was a Grandmaster-level existence with an incredibly tough physique, yet its body had been torn open. Who could have done this? It seems there are some extremely formidable masters among the geniuses who came this time. Interesting. It looks like the major sects are truly filled with hidden experts.

Just then, someone said, "Look, the destructive aura lingering on the giant elephant... it seems like the aura of the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist."

"It looks like this giant elephant was killed by Lin Xuan!"

"What? Lin Xuan?!" Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd exclaimed in disbelief. Is Lin Xuan really that strong?

"Impossible! This giant elephant may have only been at the early stage of a one-star Grandmaster, but its defenses were strong, comparable to a mid-stage one-star Grandmaster."

"How could Lin Xuan possibly kill such a creature?"

"Exactly! Don’t talk nonsense. It must have been the Crown Prince who killed it."

"Only he is capable of such a feat."

The Crown Prince’s frown deepened. Although he knew he hadn’t killed the giant elephant, he didn’t believe Lin Xuan had done it, either. How could Lin Xuan slay a Demon Beast of this level? In his eyes, Lin Xuan was indeed strong, the number one on the current Celestial Ranking. But so what? The Crown Prince’s own strength far surpassed that of anyone on the current ranking. If not for that earlier mishap with the Tyrannosaurus Spear, he would have already defeated Lin Xuan long ago.

"Let’s go," the Crown Prince commanded his men. He turned and left with the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion.

The rest of the crowd also began to scatter.

For the next few days, everyone explored the ancient ruins, and battles erupted all over the place. Five days later, the cultivators arrived before an extremely ancient palace. Its walls were covered in black vines that enveloped the entire structure, completely obscuring even the entrance.

The surrounding cultivators prepared to clear away the vines and enter the palace. There must be incredible Treasure inside such an ancient palace! But as soon as they drew near, the vines seemed to come alive, striking them like venomous snakes. In an instant, more than a dozen disciples were injured.

The others quickly retreated, staring at the vines with uncertainty, too afraid to advance. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"All of you, get out of the way."

At that moment, a cold voice rang out. A group of people approached from the distance, all wearing Flame Battle Armor and radiating a scorching aura. They were from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect.

The disciples from the other families and sects gasped. Someone commented, "The people from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect specialize in fire. Maybe they can burn these vines away."

"What’s going on here?" one of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect members asked as they arrived. Seeing the palace and that no one dared to enter, they frowned.

A nearby disciple explained, "Those vines are like a Demon Beast. They’re incredibly powerful. We’re no match for them."

"Hmph! Useless trash! A whole bunch of you!" someone from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect sneered. Immediately after, a tall figure stepped forward.

The surrounding cultivators were furious at being called useless and glared at the tall figure. The next moment, however, their expressions changed. Someone exclaimed, "That’s Wan Tianming!"

They were instantly silenced. Wan Tianming was ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Chart; he indeed had the right to call them useless.

Wan Tianming strode forward and with a wave of his hand, a sheet of fire swept out, transforming into a sea of flames that engulfed the vines.

"Hahaha, that solves that!" the people from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect laughed heartily.

A faint smile touched Wan Tianming’s lips as he started to walk forward. But he stopped halfway, his brow furrowing. The people behind him also gasped. "What? How is this possible?"

They saw that the flames had vanished, and the vines were completely unharmed. It was unbelievable. Are these vines really that formidable?

Wan Tianming snorted coldly. "Again!"

He continuously launched waves of fire at the vines, but he couldn’t burn them, let alone cause any harm. Thoroughly infuriated, Wan Tianming unleashed his most powerful Ultimate Skill: Fire God’s Fury.

A giant made of pure flame materialized and slapped forward with one enormous hand.

Feeling the immense power of the flame giant, the onlookers trembled in fear. So terrifying... Is this the legendary Fire God’s Fury?

A member of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect declared, "This will definitely work!"

However, the result was beyond anyone’s expectations. The vines at the front remained completely unscathed.

How can this be happening? Everyone was stunned. The members of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect were dumbstruck. Wan Tianming’s face was a mask of disbelief. It blocked my Fire God’s Fury? Could these vines be a Grandmaster-level existence?

The area fell into a terrifying silence.

Before long, people from the Celestial Sword Sect arrived. They swung their swords at the vines, sending waves of Sword Qi sweeping forward. Yet, the vines remained undamaged.

The members of the Celestial Sword Sect were dumbfounded. This is too frightening... It’s a true Demon Vine!

Someone said, "Don’t worry. No matter how strong these vines are, they can’t possibly withstand Sword Intent."

"Once Jian Wushuang gets here and uses his Sword Intent, he’ll definitely be able to sever this Demon Vine."

"That’s right! Sword Intent is the sharpest power there is."

The crowd began to wait. However, Jian Wushuang did not appear. Instead, the people from the Heavenly Dao Institute arrived.

Lin Xuan was with them.

A disciple from the Celestial Sword Sect said with disappointment, "What’s the use of Lin Xuan being here? He doesn’t have Sword Intent. He can’t possibly break through the Demon Vine."
