Between the vast and boundless mountains, the lush trees spread out like a green ocean.
The leaves undulated like waves, and as the breeze swept through, the green leaves rustled against each other.
A vibrant feeling assailed one, as if thousands of spirits were dancing.
Smelling the scent of earth and plants, Amon walked through the forest. Upon reaching a certain area, this clone unreservedly exuded the aura of a peak Dou King, an aura filled with hostility and provocation.
Several kilometers away, on a cliff, a magical beast with a wolf-like face, tiger-like stripes on its body, standing upright, and with a layer of metallic armor on its claws, opened its crimson eyes.
It casually pulled out a large bone-made saber stuck in a nearby stone, its eyes revealing savagery and ferocity.
Without the slightest hesitation, it unleashed the terrifying aura of a sixth-rank magical beast, pushed off with its legs, and rushed towards Amon's clone.
As the overlord of this region, it could not tolerate any other magical beasts acting presumptuously here; that was a challenge to its dominant position. And such challengers could only die to serve as a warning to others.
"Roar…"
The distance of several kilometers was almost within reach at the speed of a sixth-rank magical beast. In a few breaths, it arrived in front of Amon's clone, like a cannonball smashing down, its legs sinking deep into the ground, creating a deep pit.
Its nose twitched, and the skin on its wolf-like upper jaw wrinkled, revealing a row of bone-white teeth.
Amon's body was so small in front of the several-meter-tall magical beast overlord, yet there was no change in his expression.
He looked at the huge magical beast in front of him and adjusted his monocle: "Oh, it's a Tiger Wolf Beast. To have grown to the sixth rank, it seems your luck is good."
The Tiger Wolf Beast stared at Amon, a hint of confusion flashing in its eyes, and said in a rough voice:
"Human? No, magical beast? What a strange aura. Never mind, it's not important. Since you dare to provoke me like this on my territory, then you must be ready to die, right?"
A slight smile appeared on Amon's face: "Actually, I just came to make friends with you. Deputy Dean taught me to understand teamwork."
"Deputy Dean? Are you a student of that academy? Hahaha, you actually say you want to make friends with me, so shouldn't you give me a welcoming gift? If you visit empty-handed, I will get angry."
A cold light flickered in the Tiger Wolf Beast's eyes. Although they would not actively attack the griffins that traveled between the Inner Courtyard and Outer Courtyard of Jia Nan Academy, if students ran into their territory and were killed, Jia Nan Academy would not retaliate. This was an unstated agreement they had formed.
Amon seemed not to have heard the coldness in its tone, his smile still gentle:
"A welcoming gift, of course, there is one."
He held his right hand in a pistol shape, his index finger pointed at the huge magical beast, and as if pulling a trigger and the ammunition firing caused a recoil, he raised his right hand upwards.
A sphere intertwined with cyan and gold was rapidly soaring forward.
The energy fluctuation emanating from the sphere was not very intense, but the Tiger Wolf Beast felt a chilling sensation.
Without the slightest hesitation, it activated its innate skill, and a large amount of metal surged from its body, enveloping itself. At the same time, it held the large saber horizontally in front of its body, in a blocking posture.
The cyan and golden flames on the sphere suddenly aggregated together, and then, as if a fission reaction had occurred, terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from the now irregularly shaped mass of flames.
Subsequently, pure, scorching light enveloped everything, and light and heat bloomed like a supernova explosion.
Looking from afar, one could see a bright ball of light rising from the ground, illuminating the dim sky as if it were daytime.
Buddha Fury Fire Lotus… this ultimate skill of Xiao Yan in the original work was replicated by Amon at this moment. Although his attack was not in the shape of a Fire Lotus, the principle was the same.
In the rules of the Douluo World, the fusion of these peculiar flames between heaven and earth is simply like an atomic bomb, capable of unleashing extremely terrifying power.
Under normal circumstances, two types of flames meeting would be in an antagonistic state. The flames formed by the fusion of Flame Mantra, however, are a perfect fusion, presenting a stable state. Therefore, no fission reaction would occur.
Only when a certain will simultaneously controls two types of flames and forcibly fuses them, causing the flames to be in an unstable fused state, will that terrifying fission occur.
This is also why Xiao Yan needs to separate his flames first when performing the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus.
Therefore, apart from cultivating Flame Mantra, very few people can have more than two types of flames in their bodies simultaneously, because a fission reaction can occur if one is not careful.
Amon does not cultivate Flame Mantra, but he does not have this problem. Flame of Destiny is his own beast flame, which he can perfectly control.
The other Heavenly Flames all exist in the form of "Amon" and are controlled by their respective Amon wills.
Heavenly Flame Amon can coexist within Amon's body, distinct and not interfering with each other.
Amon's use of "Buddha Fury Fire Lotus" is not as troublesome as Xiao Yan's, which requires immense mental effort and can backfire if not careful.
He only needs to separate a Worm of Spirit to carry his Flame of Destiny, let a Heavenly Flame Amon separate a Worm of Spirit to carry the Heavenly Flame, and then let the two Worms of Spirit entangle but remain distinct as they charge towards the enemy.
Once near the opponent, he just needs to use "Convergence" to fuse the two flames into an unstable state.
This is similar to the idea in the Douluo World of having two Worms of Spirit each carrying stolen "ice cyclones" and "fire cyclones," then "aggregating" them near the enemy to unleash the divine "Icefire Extinction."
This is also the idea behind the detonator in an atomic bomb, where explosives are used to press two subcritical uranium blocks together, causing them to reach criticality and initiate a chain reaction.
The disadvantage is that before "Convergence," if the opponent is strong enough, they can annihilate the two Worms of Spirit before they can aggregate.
However, this situation usually doesn't occur, because Amon would not face such enemies, and even if he had to for unavoidable reasons, he would generally give up resistance to avoid exposing more of his trump cards.
…
Inner Courtyard, Elder Su Qian, dressed in a black robe, suddenly changed his expression, his usually composed demeanor revealing a hint of shock and solemnity.
"Elder, what's wrong?" An Elder beside him asked, somewhat puzzled. His perception was not yet able to detect movements at such a distant range.
"Such a powerful energy fluctuation, it could even threaten me. Is someone fighting? I'll go take a look."
With that, he instantly vanished from his spot, appearing in the distant sky.
He stepped through the air, each step carrying him far, and in a few blinks, he disappeared from the sight of that Dou King Elder.
…
Black-Corner Region, Maple City.
In a secluded pavilion somewhere, a handsome man in a cyan robe with a maple leaf embroidered on the back of his clothes also suddenly looked up, gazing towards the source of the energy explosion.
His eyes held a hint of uncertainty: "Why does it feel like a Heavenly Flame? That direction… Jia Nan Academy's territory… there really is a Heavenly Flame inside."
Although he knew that a Heavenly Flame might exist in Jia Nan Academy, he would not act rashly before clearly locking onto a target.
After all, that was also a behemoth, and could not be underestimated.
"However, I must make preparations first…" he muttered to himself.
Then he spoke: "Someone."
A man in black appeared before him, kneeling on one knee.
"Go find a way to bribe some students from the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy and have them help me gather information about Heavenly Flames."
"Yes." The man in black respectfully replied.
…
The light like the sun gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to its dim state, neither fully bright nor fully dark.
The previously silent mountains erupted, and the roars of magical beasts echoed throughout.
Countless magical beasts scurried away, fleeing from the area that filled them with dread, an area that had been turned into scorched earth by an extreme force.
Even the fifth-rank magical beasts dared not approach, suppressing their auras, gazing at the site of the explosion with both vigilance and a hint of fear.
Large trees lay toppled in all directions, one side of each tree already charred, with wisps of smoke rising from their trunks.
A scorching aura permeated the air, and fire attribute energy was exceptionally active. The ground was warm, emanating a hazy mist.
A large pit appeared where Amon and the Tiger Wolf Beast had met. The closer to the center, the higher the ground temperature, and even semi-solidified Magma could be seen.
The huge wolf-headed magical beast lay on the ground, its appearance exceptionally tragic. There was no intact fur left on its body, and large patches of charred flesh were exposed, emitting a faint scent of roasted meat.
Its tenacious life force as a sixth-rank magical beast allowed it to retain a single breath. However, it was extremely weak, and if left unattended, it would likely die soon.
The slender youth, dressed in a black classical robe, wearing a matching pointed soft hat, and a monocle over his right eye, stepped on the semi-solidified Magma, looked at the almost-dying magical beast overlord, and clicked his tongue, saying:
"Hmm, it's my first time using it, so I'm a bit rusty, and I misjudged the power of this move. It's my fault for almost killing you directly… I'll definitely correct it next time."
He himself looked a bit disheveled, his clothes messy, and his hair showed some singed marks. Only the monocle over his right eye remained as clean and spotless as ever.
Brilliant starlight reflected in the lens of Amon's right eye, and a beam of light shot from his chest, entering the body of the dying giant magical beast.
Points of starlight lit up on the magical beast's body, and countless tiny worms moved and swam within its body.
One by one, they attached themselves to the flesh, repairing vital organs, clearing meridians to allow Dou Qi to flow normally, and connecting blood vessels to allow blood to circulate.
A Worm of Spirit burrowed into its brain, sending out countless tiny threads that touched various parts of the brain. Then, it seemed to melt, merging with the Tiger Wolf Beast's brain.
After the initial healing by the Worms of Spirit, the aura of this dying sixth-rank magical beast gradually stabilized.
Its closed eyes reopened, and within its pupils, a subtle starlight appeared.
