Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 378 First Battle Against the Gods
"But unfortunately, you've run into me!"

His figure appeared exceptionally small amidst the raging flames, yet inexplicably gave off a sense of unwavering stability, like an eternal star, unmoved by any attempt to scorch the heavens or boil the seas.

A figure in a green robe stands proudly in the void.

Suddenly, Shi An's aura changed drastically, and the twelve grotto-heavens within his body trembled simultaneously, with each grotto-heaven displaying different strange phenomena.

There are raging flames that burn the heavens and consume all things; there are ancient trees that reach for the sky, teeming with life; there are raging oceans that sweep away everything; there are majestic mountains that suppress the eight directions; there are howling winds that tear through the void...

The twelve fundamental laws intertwined, their energy interconnected, and they were beginning to form the nascent form of a world in the beginning of chaos.

Although that world was small in its nascent form, it contained endless possibilities, as if it could encompass all things and evolve into the heavens.

At the same time, the celestial map beneath his feet expanded instantly, exceeding its limits!
The 365 phantom images of the main stars burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, not only shining on the map but also piercing through the void, establishing an unbreakable connection with the 365 ancient stars that actually exist in the heavens!
The immense power of the stars no longer fell, but poured down from the depths of the endless starry sky like a celestial river bursting its banks!

"boom!"

With a resounding boom, Shi An took a step forward!
This step seemed to have stepped on a node in time and space, causing the once bustling and lively Flowing Fire Realm to suddenly fall into an eerie silence and darkness!
This was not because the flames of the Burning Heaven Divine Array had been weakened or extinguished, but because countless starlight surged down from the heavens above and from the depths of the void, instantly filling every inch of space and turning the crimson sky into a deep and boundless starry sky.

The eighty-one crimson divine pillars formed by the Burning Heaven Divine Array appeared as small and fragile as reefs in a giant wave under the sweep of this vast starlight.

Behind Shi An, a magnificent star map formed from pure stellar divine power was fully revealed!
Countless illusory stars rose and fell, and the celestial constellations slowly rotated according to profound principles, emanating a cold, vast, and supreme cosmic will.

This temporary starry sky not only withstood the terrifying high temperature and destructive laws of the Burning Heaven Divine Array, but also crushed in the opposite direction with overwhelming force!

"Boom!!!"

The galaxy flows, carrying billions of tons of stellar divine power, forming an irresistible and terrifying grinding force!
The eighty-one towering fire pillars condensed by the Burning Heaven Divine Array seemed to be unable to bear the weight under the grinding of the star map, and emitted a piercing "crunching" sound.

On the foundation of that indestructible divine array, which contained the will to destroy the world, fine cracks were visible to the naked eye!
Within the crack, the originally raging solar essence fire was ground into tiny energy fragments, which were then mercilessly annihilated and devoured by the surrounding stellar power!
"No! This is impossible!"

At the center of the divine formation, the arrogance and killing intent on Chi Yangzi's face, who stood on a lotus, were replaced by boundless horror!

As a god-level being, his eyesight was incredibly sharp. In just a moment, he could tell that the depth and power of the star formation that the other party was using far exceeded his imagination!

That was far more than an ordinary formation; it was even far superior to the fourth or first killing formation.

Because this formation is actually drawing upon and manipulating the true power of the universe and stars. This power has transcended pure energy confrontation and risen to the level of suppression at the level of laws!

His prized Burning Heaven Divine Array, the net of laws that he relied on to burn the world, was being worn down and disintegrated bit by bit by the overwhelming laws of the universe formed by the Zhou Tian Star Chart, just like scalding wax meeting an extremely cold iceberg. The array's foundation was also cracking!

What terrified him most was that although the opponent's aura was still at the peak of the True God realm, the fluctuations emanating from the chaotic world nascent from the collision and intertwining of the twelve kinds of law powers, which were held back but not released, made this powerful man who had been immersed in the Heavenly God realm for many years feel a sense of unease.
That is a higher level, closer to the origin of the world... the aura of the Tao!

In an instant, the look of horror on Chi Yangzi's face turned into madness.

As the powerful and all-powerful Fire Cloud Cave God, he absolutely refused to believe that he could be suppressed to this extent by a junior who had not yet stepped into the Heavenly God Realm. Although the power Shi An displayed was strange and strong, even triggering the real power of the stars to suppress his Burning Heaven God Array, this only strengthened Chi Yangzi's killing intent.

This child's potential is terrifying. If we cannot nip him in the bud today, he will surely become a major threat in the future!
"what!"

Finally, he suddenly threw his head back and let out a deafening roar. His white hair danced wildly, and his blood essence boiled as he forcibly burned his own divine origin, wanting to fight to the death.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the nine crimson dragons that had been surrounding him suddenly collapsed, transforming into nine towering pillars of fire that surged wildly into the eighty-one teetering divine pillars like rivers flowing into the sea.

Then, Chi Yangzi began frantically forming hand seals while chanting incantations.

"・・・"

The next moment, the Burning Heaven Divine Array, which was already on the verge of collapse, suddenly burst out with unprecedented light. The eighty-one crimson divine pillars shone brightly, and the cracks within them healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In addition, an even more terrifying and violent aura emanated from the divine array.

"Not bad, as expected of a god, you have not disappointed me."

However, to Chi Yangzi's utter surprise, Shi An showed no fear whatsoever in the face of his attack, which was fueled by the burning essence of a celestial being. Instead, he was filled with excitement, his eyes burning with the fierce fighting spirit of a star, as if he had found the perfect whetstone.

This scene immediately enraged Chi Yangzi even more. When had he, a dignified god, ever been so disrespected? Even the sect leader had never done so. Yet now he was being treated like this by a junior who was merely a True God. One can imagine how furious he was.

"Die!"

Chi Yangzi's roar was like a thunderclap, echoing in the Blazing Fire Realm, which was already on the verge of collapse from being torn apart by the dual power of stars and divine fire.

The power unleashed by burning one's own divine essence is terrifying. The eighty-one divine pillars that were originally on the verge of collapse have not only had their cracks completely healed, but their bodies have also expanded several times over, like eighty-one fiery giants supporting the heavens and the earth.

On each of the divine pillars, ancient fire runes dance wildly like awakened lava dragons, spewing forth flames more intense than the core of the sun.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the entire crimson furnace formed by the Burning Heaven Divine Array abruptly contracted, and the space was compressed, melted, and collapsed by the extreme high temperature.

The burning law was no longer woven into a net, but transformed into a tangible torrent of flames, like billions of hungry fire dragons, roaring and surging out from all directions and from every tiny dimensional pore, trying to completely turn everything within the array, including space itself, into nothingness fuel!

The earth of the Blazing Fire Realm groaned and cracked under this power. The magma deep within the earth was squeezed and gushed out by the terrifying pressure, only to be instantly swallowed and vaporized by an even more intense burst of fire.

At this moment, the area within the divine array is an absolute inferno of fire!
