Chapter 450: Shocking Methods — The Battle Is Decided!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Luo Tong's face was as cold as ice. His eyes gleamed with a sinister light as he suddenly clenched his fist.
Boom!
The three divine pillars responded to his gesture, rapidly merging into one colossal pillar of three swirling colors. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird patterns coiled around it, exuding a terrifying and overwhelming pressure.
Compared to the power of any single Four Symbols Immortal Suppression Pillar, this fusion was clearly several times stronger.
With a flick of his sleeve, Luo Tong sent the tri-colored pillar hurtling forward, trailing thunder and storm in its wake.
Boom!
In an instant, it collided head-on with Lin Fan's hurricane sword.
A terrifying shockwave exploded across the sky, shaking the heavens. The massive platform beneath them was instantly shattered into pieces.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A barrage of explosions erupted, and the resulting spiritual storm spread outward in every direction. Onlookers panicked, quickly retreating from the edges of the battlefield, afraid of being caught in the violent surge of power.
Moments later, both the hurricane sword and the tri-colored light pillar shattered and vanished into thin air.
"Divine artifacts, huh…" Lin Fan murmured, hands forming seals at incredible speed.
Between his palms, an arcane rune began to form, radiating a soft, milky white light.
"Go."
With a wave of his arms, the rune flew out, splitting into three separate beams of white light midair, each striking one of the divine pillars—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird.
Buzz!
In that instant, the three pillars emitted a low hum. Their glow faded abruptly, leaving them as nothing more than plain, lifeless stone.
This was one of Lin Fan's most mysterious abilities, gained through a prize draw—the Suppressive Force of the Ancestral Stone. It was a unique power with incredible effects against divine artifacts and spirit treasures.
A powerful suction force erupted from Lin Fan's palm, pulling all three pillars into his grasp, and then directly into his system's storage space.
The entire crowd went wild.
They had thought Luo Tong's use of the divine pillars would spell a swift end in his favor—but who could've expected things to take such a bizarre turn?
It was one thing for Lin Dong to have the Xuantian Hall, which was known to absorb divine artifacts… but for Lin Fan to also seize someone else's divine weapons with ease? That was something else entirely.
"You—!"
Luo Tong's expression shifted dramatically. He never imagined Lin Fan could suppress and steal three divine pillars with such ease.
On the Four Symbols Palace's side, the Sky Dragon Demon Commander, Golden Ape Demon Commander, and others were stunned—then overjoyed.
It now seemed that Lin Fan's chances of victory had grown exponentially.
"Your cousin is full of surprises… this power of his feels strangely familiar to mine," said Yan, the spirit of the Ancestral Stone, inside Lin Dong's mind, clearly astonished.
Lin Dong was also a little surprised but said nothing more.
Above the broken battlefield, Lin Fan gazed at the darkened expression on Luo Tong's face and gave a faint smile.
"Since you offered them so sincerely, I'll gladly accept. Got anything else left?"
High in the sky, Luo Tong's face was twisted with cold fury. His body trembled faintly as waves of rage surged within him.
"Your tricks may be clever, but even without divine artifacts, I'll crush you!"
Boom!
A brutal wave of killing intent exploded from Luo Tong. Then, nine-colored light burst from his body and surged into the sky.
The light condensed behind him, forming the giant silhouette of a majestic bird-like beast.
Nine enormous tail feathers of different colors extended from its back. As they swayed gently, the world's spiritual energy violently stirred.
"You really are a pain. Did you really think my power is so easily stolen?"
Luo Tong's eyes turned icy. He raised two fingers and slowly pointed toward Lin Fan.
"Nine Phoenix Genesis Light!"
His voice was sharp, filled with killing intent, and echoed throughout the sky. At his fingertip, the nine-colored light rapidly condensed.
In the next instant, a beam of nine-colored light tore through the void and shot straight toward Lin Fan.
"Nine Phoenix Genesis Light…"
Seeing this, the Sky Dragon Demon Commander and others grew visibly tense, concern rising in their eyes.
The Nine Phoenix Genesis Light was an exclusive secret art of the Nine Phoenix Clan.
It was said to be born with every member of the clan, growing stronger based on the purity of their bloodline. The stronger the bloodline, the more devastating the Genesis Light.
Legend had it that during ancient times, a top-tier member of the Nine Phoenix Clan once unleashed this attack and erased every living being within a ten-thousand-mile radius.
It didn't leave craters or scorch marks—it simply erased all living flesh from existence.
This eerie technique was one of the clan's most fearsome trump cards, dreaded by all opponents of the same tier.
If Lin Fan were hit by that nine-colored beam…
Zzzt!
Under countless watching eyes, the Genesis Light seemed to pierce right through Lin Fan.
"A… shadow?"
But almost immediately, the crowd realized—what had been struck was merely an afterimage.
The next instant, Lin Fan's real body seemed to teleport, appearing right in front of Luo Tong.
Startled, Luo Tong reacted instantly. His hand lashed out like a predatory bird, aiming to strike Lin Fan's heart.
"Still."
Just then, Lin Fan activated the Stasis Divine Token, speaking two simple syllables.
In an instant, Luo Tong froze in place—mid-attack, his body turned to stone.
Even the spiritual energy swirling around him had gone still.
It was as if he had been trapped between time and space itself.
Taking full advantage of the moment, Lin Fan clenched his right fist and unleashed a devastating punch!
The air itself shattered under the blow, and in the blink of an eye, his fist smashed directly into Luo Tong's chest.
Boom!
A deep thud rang across the battlefield.
Two figures stood face to face.
A breeze passed between them, tugging at their clothes.
Then, all eyes widened in shock.
One figure shot backward like a broken kite, blood spewing from his mouth. He crashed to the ground with such force that the land beneath him collapsed.
This battle—was over.
The winner had been decided!
