Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

"impossible!"

"You're just a mere fifth-tier cultivator, how could you possibly possess such terrifying power!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Lin Yu, Fu He's pupils shrank drastically, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

In terms of sheer presence, he was actually suppressed, which was simply unbelievable.

Although he had just escaped from the secret realm and his strength was still at its weakest and had not yet recovered to its peak, he was still a genuine sixth-tier expert.

But this guy in front of me—

It was only at the fifth level of strength, yet it exuded such terrifying power, making even a sixth-level cultivator feel immense pressure.

"Fu He, what are you doing? Hurry up and capture that Chaos Human!"

Suddenly, a powerful and authoritative voice came from the Takamagahara Secret Realm, startling Fu He so much that he trembled.

He knew that with the remaining power of that Great Emperor of the Chaos Human Race, his companions in the secret realm would not be able to sense the strength of the guy opposite them.

He had no choice but to speak loudly: "Sir, this guy is strange. Although he's only at the fifth rank, he gives me an extremely dangerous feeling. Should we let him go, and after I've devoured some living beings and recovered to my peak strength, then capture him?"

To be honest, he mainly didn't want to take any risks.

Having been trapped in the secret realm for too long, his strength was at its weakest point, and he didn't want to suffer a setback as soon as he came out.

If he is given some time to devour some living beings, he can quickly recover to the peak of the seventh rank, at which point he will naturally be fearless.

"This guy is somewhat clever, it's just a pity—"

Lin Yu sneered inwardly. How could he possibly give the other party time to recover?

Since this is the weakest moment, we must strike hard when the dog is down!

"Fu He, you have disappointed me greatly! Although your strength has dropped to the peak of the sixth rank, your combat experience is still there. Your fear of death is a disgrace to my clan."

A sigh drifted over, carrying with it a deep sense of dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Fu He was so frightened that he hurriedly changed his words: "My lord, please calm down. I will cut off that human's head right now."

He thought about it for a moment and immediately felt a little relaxed.

Indeed, although his strength has dropped to the sixth rank, his mastery of "qi" has not diminished. At the same time, he has opened the fifth gate of the Eight Gates, the "Du" gate, which is something that a fifth-rank cultivator cannot contend with.

Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease.

"Boy, you think you can turn the world upside down with just a fifth-tier rank?" Fu He sneered.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw enormous white dragons roaring towards him, hurtling toward his face.

Lin Yu wouldn't wait for him to finish speaking before launching his attack; he had already begun gathering his offensive momentum while Lin Yu was speaking.

Nine enormous white flame dragons flew by, causing the void to tremble.

Sensing the terrifying pressure, Fu He's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly roared, "Eight Gates, Fourth Gate: Injury Gate, open!"

Instantly, the 'qi' around him surged wildly.

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, before the wounded gate could be fully opened, he was blasted away by the white flame dragon. His body drew an arc in the void and flew hundreds of meters before he finally managed to stabilize himself.

"Boy, you've angered me! I'm determined to..."

Fu He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked up at Lin Yu and roared, but the second half of his sentence was interrupted again by nine white flame arrows coming straight at him.

"Divine Skill: Dragon Imprisonment Palm!"

He had no choice but to shout and directly use his divine physical technique.

A continuous stream of energy surged forth, rapidly condensing into a gigantic hand in front of him, blotting out the sky and slamming towards the white flame arrow.

In the secret realm.

The figures nodded slightly at this scene: "With this move, even if that human has extraordinary abilities, he will surely be injured."

"Hmph, a sixth-tier fighter against a fifth-tier fighter, who even opened his wounded gate and used a divine skill, if he still can't win, then he will have completely disgraced his clan." One of them said in a gruff voice.

The next moment, before their very eyes, the two attacks collided.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

In an instant, all the white flame arrows were engulfed by the massive shockwave and annihilated within it.

Of course, the so-called Cage Palm was also riddled with holes by the terrifying power of the white flames.

"That's impossible!"

Upon seeing this, the people in the secret realm immediately changed their expressions.

"It's a tie?"

"Fu He opened his Injury Gate, used a divine skill, and even attacked with the strength of a sixth-tier cultivator, yet he still managed to fight to a draw with a fifth-tier human?"

"Could it be that this Chaos Human has reached the threshold of that level?" The group was somewhat incredulous.

Just then, a loud shout resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"The fifth gate of the Eight Gates: The Gate of Closure opens!"

Fu He's face twisted in pain. He felt his dignity had been severely challenged and could no longer restrain himself, so he directly opened the fifth gate.

For an instant.

His entire aura changed drastically, becoming incredibly domineering. The energy around him surged dozens of meters high, compressed to its limit, yet still leaking out for over ten meters, causing the void to rumble.

"The fifth gate?"

Lin Yu's expression changed slightly.

With each additional gate opened, the strength increases exponentially.

At this moment, Fu He, having opened five gates at the sixth rank, had pushed his strength to its limit. A terrifying pressure swept over him, even making Lin Yu in his white flame form feel the pressure.

"Looks like I'll have to go all out too."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the opponent is currently at the sixth rank, they have opened the fifth gate, which means they are no ordinary sixth-rank expert. After all, they fell from a higher rank, and are simply not comparable to a normal sixth-rank expert.

Lin Yu learned this from the information about the Fifth Jade Tree.

To unlock the fifth gate of the Eight Gates, one generally needs to reach level seven or higher.

Therefore, although Fu He in front of us is at the sixth rank, because he has opened the fifth gate, although he is not as strong as the seventh rank, he is still much stronger than a normal peak sixth rank.

"boom--"

At this moment, Lin Yu could no longer hold back.

The white flames around his body surged, seemingly unchanged, but in reality, he had become a level stronger.

Because this is White Flame, which has been infused with the power of lava, although its color is still white, its eyebrows, pupils, and hair are slowly turning red, as red as a raging fire.

This time, by absorbing the lava fire, the talent was raised to the critical point of SSS, but it still hasn't evolved to the level of 4S, and is still a little short.

The higher the talent level, the harder it is to improve.

"Perhaps, only when the sacred fire of heaven is consumed can the talent be fully advanced to 4S."

Lin Yu thought to himself.

Even though his talent didn't advance, the addition of a new flame fusion allowed him to develop his White Flame Form to the second stage, increasing its power several times over. At this moment, his White Flame power surged, and his red hair danced like flowing flames. His crimson pupils sent shivers down one's spine.

now--

Having opened five gates, Fu He no longer felt any pressure whatsoever.

Lin Yu, carrying the dragon, advanced step by step, his powerful aura causing the entire sky to tremble.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

"I'll wipe you out in one move!"
