The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1359 - Chapter 1359 Chapter 1457 Suppressing the Spirit Source

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1457: Suppressing the Spirit Source Chapter 1359: Chapter 1457: Suppressing the Spirit Source Fang Lin grasped the ancient spear, his whole body brimming with murderous aura, further enhanced by the flames that enveloped him, making him appear particularly formidable.

At this moment, Fang Lin felt his power continuously rising, a sensation most wonderful, as if gentle streams flowed warmly into his body.

This was the Ancient Lamp of Flame God at work, absorbing the power of flames from the surroundings into Fang Lin’s body, and transforming it into his strength through the lamp.

Had this been the outside world, the feeling of constant power increase wouldn’t have been as clear, but in this place, with the fire power incredibly dense, Fang Lin benefited immensely.

Fang Lin was eager to know, was there a limit to this enhancement, and if he kept absorbing it, just how far could he go?

To surpass the Spirit Source, rivaling the Long-lived Ones?

Perhaps it was possible.

But Fang Lin was all too aware that this would require an enormous amount of fire power, and his physical body definitely couldn’t withstand a power surpassing its limits.

“It seems we all underestimated this kid,” said a woman from Hidden Kill Hall, covering her severed arm, her face grim as she spoke to the two men beside her.

At the moment, the woman’s severed limb was rapidly regenerating, as she expended her own Spirit Source to heal it, an efficient yet resource-depleting process.

However, the woman from Hidden Kill Hall had no choice in the matter; if she didn’t heal her arm, she wouldn’t be able to attack Fang Lin again.

“Full force attack, and he shall fall!” Juechen stated, his fighting spirit undeterred by Fang Lin’s current strength and, if anything, even more eager to engage in fierce combat with Fang Lin.

Yin Wuyan let out a soft sigh, a hint of helplessness on his face. Ancient characters emerged on his forehead, and his aura surged dramatically; although he remained at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Spirit Bone, his strength was now comparable to a second or third level Spirit Source practitioner.

“So you’re finally showing your true capabilities?” Fang Lin glanced at Yin Wuyan, his tone carrying a mocking edge.

“I must admit, you are indeed very powerful. Back in Sea Guarding City, I should have kicked you to death,” Yin Wuyan grumbled.

Fang Lin laughed heartily, “Too bad you didn’t kick me to death back then. Now it might be me who could kick you to death.”

“Hmph, don’t think just because you are strong now that I can’t beat you,” said Yin Wuyan with clear defiance.

“Come on then, all of you attack together,” Fang Lin declared, his flames erupting violently, surging towards the three like an overwhelming flood.

Juechen rushed ahead, his powerful slash cutting the sea of fire in two.

“I’ll borrow your fire!” Juechen bellowed, his knife technique resurging, and in its swing, it seemed to roll back Fang Lin’s flames toward him.

Heaven-Burning Slash!

This was a knife skill Juechen had only recently grasped. He had used it in battle against Qin Guanyue before, but back then it was incomplete.

However, now Juechen’s strike was fully comprehended, and with his current cultivation at the first level of Spirit Source, the Heaven-Burning Slash was far more formidable than before.

The Heaven-Burning Slash came with a mighty rush of fire, putting immense pressure on Fang Lin.

“Nice knife skills, but useless against me,” Fang Lin said coldly, swinging his ancient spear head on to meet Juechen’s slash.

Boom~~~

A loud rumble, flames scattered in all directions, Fang Lin and Juechen collided again, their ancient spear and treasure knife fiercely clashing, with both striving to push their power to the limit, yielding to no one, determined to fight out a clear winner.

This was a true head-on battle for Fang Lin against Juechen, with Juechen also being one of Fang Lin’s most desired opponents to face off with.

Back in the Chaos Demon Valley, it was the first appearance of Juechen that exhibited formidable might, imposing massive pressure on martial artists like Fang Lin, to the point where it seemed utterly overwhelming.

Had it not been for the help of the Silver Fox’s avatar, it was estimated that Juechen could have easily crushed Fang Lin and the other inheritors at that time.

For a long period afterward, Fang Lin had been pursuing Juechen as his target, as well as Yin Wuyan.

And now, Fang Lin was by no means weaker than Juechen; he could even defeat him.

After a brief exchange, Juechen, holding his precious blade, retreated, while Fang Lin merely swayed slightly, his eyes as placid as an ancient well beneath the fiery red Kylin mask.

Yin Wuyan launched an attack, his foot thundering down towards Fang Lin with a Heaven Step that was executed with full force, perfectly embodying the domineering essence of One Force Subdues Ten Groups.

Fang Lin employed the Kylin Fist once again, directly confronting Yin Wuyan’s Heaven Step head-on.

At the moment of impact between fist and foot, it seemed as though space itself shook, and Yin Wuyan’s expression changed dramatically. The massive footprint persisted for an instant before collapsing with a boom.

The fire on Fang Lin’s fist had also diminished somewhat, but in the end, Fang Lin still had the upper hand; his punch was more ferocious than the Heaven Step.

“You’ve let your guard down!” A chilly voice sounded as a Hidden Kill Hall woman, who had appeared behind Fang Lin unnoticed, aimed a greenish dagger at the back of his neck.

Fang Lin instinctively sensed the danger and, even with his armor of flames, he dared not take the hit head-on, immediately dodging aside.

Spurt!

But it was a fraction too late; his shoulder was grazed by the dagger.

At his shoulder, a green glow immediately spread, and Fang Lin distinctly felt his left shoulder grow much heavier, unbalancing him.

Swinging his ancient spear, Fang Lin disregarded everything else and charged at the Hidden Kill Hall woman, forcing her to back off.

Then, looking at his left shoulder, he saw no wound, only the spread of something green over his armor of flames.

Although unaware of what the green substance was, Fang Lin guessed it was definitely harmful to him. He circulated his Sacred Qi, and effortlessly cleansed the green substance.

The Hidden Kill Hall woman, who had been secretly rejoicing at Fang Lin being affected, thinking that the green poison would soon bring about his downfall, did not anticipate that he would purge it so quickly.

It was indeed no ordinary poison, but an exceedingly deadly one wielded solely by Netherworld Assassins from the Hidden Kill Hall, potent enough to corrode even Divine Weapons.

Even the Spirit Source could be eroded by this green poison; any martial artist affected by even a trace who didn’t deal with it promptly would swiftly perish.

Fang Lin looked at the three of them, his eyes filled with mockery: “Do you have any other tricks up your sleeves?”

Silent were the three including Juechen, for although they indeed had more tactics to deploy, it was doubtful any would trouble Fang Lin.

Moreover, both Juechen and Yin Wuyan harbored their last resorts, moves of last resort not to be used lightly unless necessary, for even if they managed to kill Fang Lin using them, they themselves would not end up in a good situation.

After all, the cooperation between them was tenuous at best, each wary of the other.

On another front, the Demon Puppet had already hewn away part of that hideous demon’s body and appeared close to victory. In a short while, Fang Lin would completely control the situation, leaving them without the slightest chance to turn the tide.

“Damn it, the Fire Essence is probably seeing the unfavorable situation and is unwilling to intervene,” the Hidden Kill Hall woman said through gritted teeth, anger and frustration in her eyes.
