"Boom!"
The Death Monarch didn't even have time to react, engulfed by its own Sea of Death. Its entire body plummeted from the sky, leaving a massive crater on the ground.
"How could this happen!" The Dark Summoner was equally astonished, his expression one of bewilderment.
The others watched this scene in shock. Zhou Yan remained in the air, hands on his hips. After unleashing his previous move, there were no discernible aftereffects, leaving everyone puzzled about what that technique entailed.
The Death Monarch wasn't fatally wounded, as it was its own energy. After absorbing it, the Death Monarch became enraged, its two pairs of eyes flashing with eerie red ghostfire.
"Whoosh!"
The Death Monarch flew towards Zhou Yan once more, intent on revenge, on utterly killing him. The Death Scythe in its hand once again outlined a wispy black aura, but this time, a black flame emerged – Hellfire, a potent flame capable of extinguishing a person's soul.
This surprised many. Not many Death Monarchs could wield Hellfire. It was unexpected that the one summoned by the Dark Summoner possessed such a flame.
The Hellfire enveloped the Death Scythe, which was then hurled towards Zhou Yan. The Death Monarch gripped the chain behind the scythe with its other hand, and a soul-shattering sound vibrated through the air.
The chain of the Death Scythe was no ordinary object; it could inflict damage on a person's soul, even conjuring illusions. This was a dual attack: the chain's sound affected the soul, while the Death Scythe launched a fatal blow directly at the enemy.
The technique was undeniably powerful, but its effectiveness depended on the target. Such soul attacks had no impact on Zhou Yan.
Seeing the Death Scythe hurtling towards him, Zhou Yan contemptuously extended a single finger. Yes, just one finger.
Zhou Yan's gesture wasn't fast; everyone could clearly see him flicking that finger at the incoming Death Scythe.
"Ding!"
The Death Scythe, carrying the supreme Hellfire, launched a devastating attack at Zhou Yan. However, with Zhou Yan's gentle flick, the Death Scythe was sent flying back towards the Death Monarch at an even greater speed.
"Boom!"
Mid-air, the Death Monarch was struck by its own Death Scythe, and its body began to dissipate.
Everyone was stunned, watching the scene in disbelief.
"Holy crap! Is that Death Monarch fake? It got killed that easily."
"That's a Death Monarch that wields Hellfire! Its realm reached the ninety-sixth heaven, and it was defeated in a single blow. Why was it so weak?"
"Ordinary people wouldn't dare to touch Hellfire. I saw Hellfire make contact with that person, and it had no effect whatsoever. And that person could unleash such terrifying power with a simple flick. His strength is immense."
...
"How is this possible!" The Dark Summoner also watched in disbelief, unable to comprehend what he was seeing.
This was one of the strongest beings he could summon, and it had been eliminated so easily!
The Dark Summoner glanced at Zhou Yan, then, without hesitation, activated his Dark Dragon and fled into the distance.
But Zhou Yan made a move. He conjured a blazing flame. The flame was initially a small ball, then a phoenix cry echoed, and the ball of flame transformed into the shape of a phoenix, rapidly flying towards the Dark Summoner.
The Dark Summoner felt the pursuit of the flame behind him. Standing behind the Dark Dragon, he chanted an incantation, waved his magic staff, conjuring a barrier to block the attack. He also directed the Dark Dragon to change course, attempting to evade.
"Bang!"
However, the phoenix flame was incredibly powerful, directly shattering the barrier cast by the Dark Summoner. The barrier couldn't hold for even a moment before crumbling.
The phoenix flame continued to pursue the Dark Summoner, its speed immense. No matter where the Dark Dragon flew, it was useless. The phoenix flame possessed tracking capabilities, relentlessly following behind.
"So strong!" The Dark Summoner was filled with disbelief, watching the rapidly approaching phoenix flame. He felt the threat of death. This flame was terrifying; he couldn't be struck by it.
The Dark Summoner frantically activated his magic staff, conjuring more barriers, trying to fend off the phoenix. But the phoenix flame shattered the Dark Summoner's barriers time and again.
The Dark Summoner then wielded his magic staff again, transforming it into a dark arrow, attempting to shoot down the phoenix flame. To his surprise, the dark arrow was swallowed by the phoenix flame, consumed directly.
Everyone was shocked.
How could this fire phoenix be like a living being, capable of such actions? It was astonishing.
The Dark Summoner cursed furiously. While others watched in shock, only the Dark Summoner could truly feel how powerful this fire phoenix was. It was a flame potent enough to annihilate him.
The Dark Summoner unleashed more attacks, volleys of arrows, infernal greatswords, even forming a mountain. Unfortunately, all were shattered by the fire phoenix.
The fire phoenix surged towards the Dark Summoner, engulfing him in flames.
"Ah!"
The Dark Summoner cried out in agony, trying to extinguish the flames, but failed. He and the Dark Dragon he had summoned vanished from the combat space.
Everyone turned their attention to Zhou Yan within the combat space. They never imagined that a powerful Dark Summoner could be eliminated by a single burst of his flame.
Another person attacked Zhou Yan. This individual rode a golden ox and wielded a long halberd, with a battle spirit manifesting behind him. This was a powerful warrior who had awakened a battle spirit.
He swung his divine halberd, unleashing a purple lightning bolt. A terrifying lightning attack radiated from the divine halberd, smashing down towards Zhou Yan.
"Boom!"
He struck with his halberd, but to everyone's shock, this terrifying attack was caught by Zhou Yan with his bare hands. Zhou Yan simply raised his hand, and the opponent's attack was blocked. Everyone watching was dumbfounded.
"How is this possible!" The attacker was astonished, utterly disbelieving. He once again swung his divine halberd, aiming another fierce blow at Zhou Yan.
"Boom!"
But before the attacker could strike, he, along with his mount, was sent flying by a terrifying force, crashing heavily into a mountain range a thousand miles away.
The mountain shattered, breaking into two halves. The terrifying power was so immense that even a mountain couldn't withstand it.
Outside the space, the man who had attacked Zhou Yan earlier was also killed by Zhou Yan's move.
The opponent couldn't withstand a single move from Zhou Yan!
"This person is too strong!"
"That man's strength is not weak. He's a warrior who awakened his battle spirit, and he was annihilated in one move!"
"Who exactly is this person? His combat power is comparable to a demigod!"
