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

"Stop right there!"

Lin Yu was enveloped in flames, his magic power erupted, and he threw a punch.

The little girl raised her dark eyes and stepped forward to meet her.

In her mind, she didn't want to fight in front of her father's remains, for fear of accidentally destroying them.

"Bang!"

A tiny arm and a tiny hand stretched out and actually managed to block Lin Yu's fist.

The collision of forces created a terrifying shockwave, which transformed into a powerful airflow that spread outwards.

Unbelievable!

Keep in mind that Lin Yu is currently at the second tier and in his blazing state, resulting in a surge in power.

Such a terrifying punch was blocked so easily.

Lin Yu's eyes narrowed.

"Again!"

He threw punches wildly, each one carrying immense power.

To everyone's surprise, the little girl held her own, wielding her arms to precisely catch every single one of Lin Yu's attacks.

The two became two afterimages in the ruins, constantly colliding.

"Is this really a battle between humans?"

"It was terrifying; I could only vaguely see their afterimages."

Xiao Li and Zhou An watched the battle unfold before them as if they were watching an anime; it was simply unbelievable.

"What is that? Vegeta's Prince Battle Technique?"

Their eyes bulged out of their sockets.

In the arena, the little girl moved swiftly, creating distance between herself and Lin Yu.

Black energy waves continuously condensed in her palms, rushing rapidly towards Lin Yu.

Unending!

These energy waves cause a terrifying explosion the moment they touch any object.

It's much more powerful than Vegeta's Prince Technique!

"This can't go on. Her power is getting stronger and stronger, and the sacrifice is still ongoing."

Lin Yu frowned.

He noticed that the little girl's hair had begun to turn white.

"We must use absolute power to forcefully suppress her, otherwise we cannot change the outcome."

With this in mind, Lin Yu no longer held back.

Exploding with energy again!

Crazy explosion!

A terrifying pillar of magical light rose from his body, and the ground beneath his feet could not withstand the immense magical power, causing it to crack.

The pebbles bounced into the magic beam and were instantly crushed into powder.

"Dragon Flame Form!"

The yellow flames surrounding Lin Yu instantly turned crimson, his strongest form at the moment.

"brush!"

He was incredibly fast, appearing behind the little girl in an instant, and without holding back, delivered a heavy punch to her back.

"boom--"

The little girl's body was smashed into the rubble like a cannonball.

Lin Yu charged forward again, sat on the little girl and pinned her down, his fiery fists raining down like a storm.

At this moment, he is faster and stronger than before.

The little girl unleashed her full power, but it was too much for her to bear; at least a third of the fists landed squarely on her body.

At this moment, Lin Yu finally completely subdued the little girl.

"Wake up right now!"

"If you continue offering sacrifices, you will die!"

Lin Yu roared wildly and slammed another heavy punch into the little girl's chest.

Of course, he held back and didn't use his full strength.

"Pfft~"

Fresh blood gushed directly from the little girl's mouth.

Even if Lin Yu sacrificed everything, she couldn't withstand the dragon flame form.

"Have you forgotten your father's instructions? He wanted you to live a good life!"

"dad……"

Lin Yu's words finally awakened a sliver of consciousness in the little girl.

A look of struggle appeared in her pupils.

"There is hope!"

Lin Yu was overjoyed to see this.

He pressed down hard on the little girl's limbs and exploded with anger again.

A terrifying burst of magic erupted, pressing down on the little girl and completely suppressing her.

Under Lin Yu's barrage of words, the little girl's consciousness became clearer and clearer.

"I can't die, I have to bring Dad home."

The darkness in her eyes slowly faded, and her eyeballs reappeared.

After a while.

All the black magic in the little girl's body receded back into her body.

Lin Yu finally let go and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, thank you."

The little girl regained her senses and remembered what had just happened. She thanked Lin Yu.

Lin Yu then realized that he was still sitting on top of the little girl, pressing down on her.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he hurriedly got up.

"Cough cough~"

The little girl had just gotten up when she coughed up a lot of blood again.

Her hair was completely white, and her slender hands had shrunk considerably, becoming as withered and thin as an old person's hands.

She walked unsteadily, step by step, toward the skeleton.

Even Lin Yu, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help but feel sad at this scene, and his eyes reddened.

"Dad, I'm taking you home."

Tears streamed down the little girl's face.

She tore off her outer garment and carefully wrapped the remains.

"Big brother, what's your name?"

"The Magician, Lin Yu."

"Thank you. My name is Xiao Chan. If I survive, I will come to find you."

Lin Yu was the only one who stood up to help her.

If it weren't for Lin Yu, she would have continued to sacrifice herself until her death.

The father's remains could not be laid to rest.

Xiao Chan did not look back. Carrying her father's remains on her back, she walked step by step into the distance.

Her thin body looked very lonely.

Lin Yu opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

He didn't know if Xiao Chan could pull through.

Although he forcibly suppressed and interrupted the little girl's sacrificial process, many sacrifices had already been made beforehand.

Xiao Chan's body still looks like a child's, but her life force may have already been exhausted.

"I believe you can survive, and your father would definitely want you to live a good life too."

Lin Yu suddenly spoke.

He shouted loudly at that thin figure.

In the distance, the small, thin figure, already blending into the night, trembled slightly, paused for a moment, and then stepped forward again, disappearing into the darkness.

"Thanks……"

The sound was so faint that it could only be heard in the darkness of night.

"Boss..."

"Boss, are you alright?"

At this moment, Xiao Li and Zhou An rushed over, looking disheveled and covered in dirt.

Lin Yu watched the disappearing figure and shook his head.

"That little girl... will she die?" Both of them felt a pang of sympathy.

"I don't know, everything depends on her alone. There's a reason why [Forbidden - Fate's End] is called a forbidden technique."

Lin Yu sighed.

A little girl at level 10 of the zero rank, after using this forbidden technique, borrowed power that was actually comparable to his at the second rank.

This is absolutely amazing!

"But how did her father suddenly turn into a skeleton before he died?"

"That's also forbidden power, with the added talent of [Inheritance]."

Lin Yu explained softly.

"Perhaps, with the power she inherited from her father, her chances of survival would be higher."

Lin Yu could only console himself with this thought.

Xiao Chan possesses two forbidden powers, one for life and one for death, a situation she had never heard of in her previous life.

Perhaps, we really can pull through.

"However, if I am forced into a desperate situation, even if I die, it will be worth it to borrow that invincible power, at least I will have avenged myself."

Xiao Li also felt a little sad.

"You're overthinking it. Only those with the most extreme emotions, the purest feelings, and the most unwavering will have a one in ten thousand chance of awakening."

"Even if you awaken, it will only be a fleeting moment. Once your power fades, you will die."

"This is the power of fate and karma!"

Lin Yu was somewhat lost in thought, thinking of some people in his previous life who had used the [Forbidden - Life-Severing] technique.

Some people sacrifice everything for love, some for hate, some for their beliefs, and some for righteousness, in exchange for the power of the future.

To the utmost sublimation, to fulfill the final wish.

In the end, none of them survived.

Those were one tragic and devastating story after another.

"Let's go."
