What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

"The Heavenly Tribulation is not something I can control," Zhong Hui replied irritably, wincing in pain.

[This is something you really can control...]

"Shut up!"

Zhong Hui interrupted the system's sophistry, a crazy idea popping into his mind.

"I have already thought of a way to break the deadlock. Since we are suppressed and cannot break free, then I will do the opposite and turn all their attacking power into my own."

【What's the meaning?】

"You don't need to ask any more questions." Zhong Hui remained calm and ordered in a deep voice, "Once I give the order, you only need to immediately pour all the spiritual energy from the remaining three Seeds of Lamentation into my body at once!"

[Host, are you insane?]

The system was so panicked it didn't even bother with its wording: "[Your body simply can't handle inhaling such a massive amount of magic power at once. Add to that this external attack, and you'll be bursting from both inside and out!]"

Blood kept spilling from Zhong Hui's mouth. His body was crumbling and healing. Enduring the excruciating pain, his tone was resolute: "Just do as I say. I have a secret to protect. If we don't take this gamble, we will truly be doomed!"

The system is completely out of options.

Its host was completely single-minded, so it was just an auxiliary system. No matter how much it tried to persuade the host, it was useless. It could only bite the bullet and reluctantly agree.

Despite the relentless attacks from the outside world, Zhong Hui, who was at the center of the storm, wore an increasingly ostentatious smile.

The next second, he suddenly shouted: "Now!"

In an instant, a massive amount of spiritual energy surged into his limbs and meridians.

The fragile meridians quickly ruptured under the strain, and the already torn flesh became even more severely damaged, covered with dense cracks, as if it would turn into pieces of flesh at any moment.

If it weren't for the ultimate healing ability of the 'Zhe Zi Mi' that held his body together, he would have exploded like fireworks with just this wave of infusion.

Suppressing the unspeakable pain, Zhong Hui dared not waste a single moment.

His body trembled slightly, and his aura rose steadily, almost touching the threshold of the late Golden Core Realm.

Of course, this is just an illusion created by a massive amount of spiritual energy, not a true breakthrough in realm.

But with the support of this abundant spiritual energy, he finally broke free from the combined killing pressure of the three.

The moment they successfully escaped, before the three could even make a move, they witnessed a scene that left them utterly astonished.

Zhong Hui, who had finally managed to emerge, neither fled nor avoided the terrifying ball of energy that was capable of destroying everything, and instead stretched out his hands to meet it.

The three people from Cangxing, who were not far away, frowned. They couldn't figure out his thoughts at all, and they just instinctively tried to stop him.

"Pfft..."

Blood splattered across the sky, and the ruptured wounds visibly moved and healed as if nothing had happened.

Zhong Hui grinned, still exuding an aura of invincibility despite being covered in blood: "There's a move I've always wanted to use, but unfortunately, the conditions weren't right, so I haven't been able to use it."

"But now, the opportunity has finally arrived!"

He suppressed the chaotic energy cluster containing multiple forces in his hands with his own spiritual energy.

His already fragile body was cracked again, and the cracks spread wildly, turning him into a broken piece of porcelain.

[Host! Let go immediately! If you don't release your grip, you won't last even a minute!]

The system's audio was nearly broken, so sharp it was about to shatter.

Zhong Hui completely ignored the system's warnings and simply used the overflowing spiritual energy within his body to continuously compress the raging energy in his hands.

Compress, compress again, compress to the extreme!

In a few breaths, the energy that, once unleashed, would have been enough to completely annihilate the villa area, was forcibly compressed into a fiery lotus flower the size of a palm.

Despite its drastically reduced size, the power it contains has only increased.

Destruction, rage, annihilation, tearing... all the destructive forces are condensed in this lotus flower. Its terrifying aura alone is enough to prevent lightning from striking.

Such powerful strength... The girl in black trembled with fear.

This energy lotus flower is a fusion of the power of two three-star beings, one near-three-star being, and two two-star beings.

She couldn't even imagine the destructive power if it were to detonate completely.

"Kill him with all your might!"

Cangxing and Qianjia also sensed the terror of the lotus, and each pushed their magic power to the limit, wanting to kill it.

Looking at the two familiar figures, Zhong Hui shouted, "When I return to the realm of the Immortal Emperor, I will surely illuminate all the heavens! I will share this glory with you!"

It is a power that can only be obtained by those who have reached the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation, reflecting the heavens.

This move transcends space and time, ignores the cycle of life and death, and disregards the boundaries of cause and effect, making the concept of death never occur at its root.

He didn't think the two of them could survive this move, because they had been controlled by the girl in black and had lost their own thoughts, so they were destined to fight to the death.

Moreover, this move is extremely powerful, originating from a powerful figure with the same name as the Martial Ancestor.

That person was named Yan Di. He used this move from its weakest point to its peak, and even after ascending to become the ruler of a region, he still used it.

This move is called: "Buddha's Wrathful Lotus!"

Chapter 50 The matter is over

Zhong Hui loosened his grip, and the Blazing Fire Lotus flew out of his hand.

This fire lotus did not possess the earth-shattering power expected; it looked ordinary, like a common red lotus, and slowly drifted towards the three people in front of it, showing no trace of killing intent at first glance.

But the moment the three of them unleashed their full power in a counterattack, all their attacks were instantly annihilated, without even a ripple, and they were completely unable to stop the Fire Lotus from advancing.

Witnessing this horrifying scene, Sousei and Chika remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

If one's skills are inferior and the mission fails, then life and death are left to fate.

Only the girl in black, hiding at the very back, suddenly changed her expression, her heart filled with extreme terror.

She possesses the ability to control all things, and therefore can clearly perceive that this seemingly gentle red lotus contains a far more violent and terrifying power than before.

This power was too domineering and strong. Not to mention that she tried to reverse the control of this fire lotus, even if the three of them joined forces to resist it, it was unknown whether they could survive this attack.

Strictly speaking, her ability is not manipulation, but deception.

She misled Sousei and Chika, making them believe that Zhong Hui was a deadly and dangerous being.

Her abilities seem incredibly powerful, but there's a strict limitation: as the caster, she absolutely cannot get injured, otherwise the being she's been fooling will instantly wake up.

Then she will not only have to deal with the fire lotus, but also the wrath of the two awakened magical girls.

In the blink of an eye, she completely forgot about the promise she had made with Cupid and the tempting reward she could get.

The instinct for survival completely overwhelmed all reason; the girl in black was thrown into chaos and desperately tried to get away from this dangerous area.

Sousei and Chika, having been tricked, and being inherently willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the world, did not choose to run away, but instead made a final effort.

One person unleashed a fiery prison to block it, while the other continuously slashed, trying to weaken the lotus's power.

But all of this was ultimately in vain.

The Buddha's Wrath Lotus, which has merged numerous powers, is not something that two people alone can contend with.

The lotus flower, which had been drifting slowly, suddenly accelerated without warning, transforming into a streak of crimson light that hurtled through the air with the force of thunder, unstoppable.

"Boom!!"

The crimson fire lotus exploded the moment it came into contact with the two of them!

A series of deafening explosions resounded, echoing throughout the heavens and the earth.

This Buddha's Wrath Lotus, created by Zhong Hui by gathering numerous forces, displayed terrifying power the moment it exploded. The extremely violent energy wave swept in all directions, engulfing the entire villa area in just a few breaths.

Cangxing and Qianjia were swallowed up by the surging energy torrent. Even the girl in black who had just run a few steps away could not escape and was also engulfed in the sea of ​​fire from the explosion.

The heavy, dark clouds pressing down on the sky were torn apart layer by layer by the shockwave from the explosion.

The purple-gold thunder dragon, which had been lurking deep in the clouds and constantly unleashing lightning tribulations, was utterly vulnerable.

Upon contact with the energy of the explosion, the dragon's body, formed purely from the power of lightning, couldn't even withstand it for a second before collapsing inch by inch and quickly vanishing into the world.

Zhong Hui, who had unleashed this powerful attack, was now in extremely poor condition.

The aura it emitted plummeted, and most of the spiritual energy provided by the three Seeds of Lamentation was poured into the Fire Lotus.

His cultivation level, which had been rapidly advancing to the Golden Core stage, plummeted along with the dissipation of spiritual energy, eventually stabilizing at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

Finally... I broke through.

Zhong Hui's body was covered in cracked and mutilated flesh, and he was covered in wounds. The "Zhe" secret technique he cultivated was constantly running, and a faint green light surrounded his body, barely maintaining his life.

However, the injuries he suffered this time were too severe. His physical body was severely damaged and his spiritual energy was depleted, leaving him a mangled and bloodied figure.

Even though the secret of the character '者' possesses miraculous healing effects, it is powerless to reverse the situation at this moment.

Sensing his own impending collapse, Zhong Hui forced a weak and helpless bitter smile, quietly watching the overwhelming energy waves sweep in and engulf his figure.

At the same moment, all the residents of Tai'an County heard the sound.

All the residents who were startled by the loud noise and looked up at the sky witnessed a scene they would never forget.

High in the sky somewhere in the city, a magnificent fire lotus slowly bloomed, dazzling and stunning, like a grand fireworks display.

[Host! Host, you can't die!]

[Host, don't you have a strong imagination? Don't you have a unique worldview? Use your ability now! Imagine even stronger healing magic!]

[Host, are you still alive? Respond to me!]

[Host, I feel like I'm out of power...]

The devastating explosion gradually subsided, leaving behind a severely damaged flat area.

Smoke filled the sky, embers burned wildly, and the entire area was desolate and deserted, without a single person in sight, a veritable dead end.

In this desolate ruin, two figures suddenly emerged slowly from the faint glow of the embers.

Looking at the devastated and chaotic scene, the girl in yellow bit her lip and timidly said, "We...it seems we're too late..."

The petite girl beside him looked anxious and urged, "Stop talking nonsense! Start the rescue immediately! If these two people I like die, see if I'll keep bothering you every day from now on!"

The girl in the yellow dress shrank back in fright; she certainly didn't want to be turned gay and become a lesbian.
