Amon's eyes flickered as he looked at Gold and Silver Elders in front of him. After a moment of thought, he concluded that he had no need to use them, nor any reason to kill them.
Since it didn't involve his interests, there was no need to waste time entangled with them. He extended his right hand, thumb and forefinger upright, forming a gun shape, and aimed it at Gold and Silver Elders.
A Worm of Spirit emitting azure flames and a Worm of Spirit emitting golden flames intertwined into a ball and flew towards the two men.
Looking at the azure and golden fireball, although they didn't feel too violent energy fluctuations from it, the intuition they had honed from numerous brushes with death told them it was very dangerous.
Both men attacked simultaneously, using the quickest Dou Technique finger movements to unleash finger strikes at the fireball.
Before colliding with their finger strikes, the two Worms of Spirit initiated "Convergence."
They suddenly merged into one, and the Azure Lotus Core Flame and Flame of Destiny fused with them.
This kind of flame fusion was an unstable flame fusion. If Amon continued to expend mental energy to control it, he could maintain it, but what Amon needed was precisely its instability.
The fireball trembled once, then rapidly expanded. A scorching, destructive aura of power diffused.
Gold and Silver Elders's pupils constricted, and they immediately realized this was the terrifying Dou Technique that had destroyed Han Feng's mansion and caused his demise.
Could this kind of Dou Technique be unleashed so casually?
Their expressions were solemn, and a hint of disbelief flashed in their hearts.
Vast Dou Qi surged from both their bodies as they simultaneously extended their right hands.
The Dou Qi converged to form a circular Qi shield in front of them.
The destructive power unleashed by the fusion and subsequent splitting of the Heavenly Flame swept over. The Qi shield in front of Gold and Silver Elders flickered with faint light, undulating as if a lake's surface rippled.
"Die, boy!" Gold and Silver Elders roared in unison.
The circular Qi shield not only blocked the flame energy but also absorbed and gathered it.
The Qi shield suddenly contracted, gathering the absorbed flame energy, and transformed into a golden and azure interwoven ray that shot towards Amon.
Amon did not dodge or resist, allowing himself to be pierced by the ray, transforming into countless azure and golden flames that shot in all directions.
"Be careful, don't let these flames fuse!" Elder Yin shouted loudly.
Their hands moved swiftly, striking out illusory palm prints that extinguished each spark. There were simply too many sparks, and even with both men giving their all, they only managed to extinguish half of them.
The scene they feared, where the flames would re-aggregate and cause more explosions, did not occur. But when the two men came to their senses, they found that the figure who had killed Han Feng had vanished without a trace.
They glanced at the charred corpse on the ground, feeling somewhat unwilling.
An invisible force spread out in all directions, searching inch by inch.
Both men rushed fiercely in one direction simultaneously. In a secluded corner of the city, they saw two beast corpses, a Tiger Wolf Beast and a Water Rabbit.
Elder Kane inspected the corpses and said, "They are both Rank Six Magical Beasts, freshly dead, and their beast cores have been dug out... There are no signs of a battle here."
"It should be the same person who attacked Han Feng," Elder Yin concluded.
They had also learned some facts about what had happened in the deep mountains earlier, which was why Han Feng had invited them over.
Just as they were puzzled by the appearance of the beast corpses here, a strong sense of danger arrived.
In Gold and Silver Elders's horrified eyes, a bright firelight was reflected.
Amon had ambushed two Worms of Spirit within the corpses, using the residual energy fluctuations of the beast corpses as cover to catch them off guard.
As the firelight dispersed, two disheveled figures stumbled out of the hot, smoky dust. They soared into the sky without hesitation, speeding away into the distance, leaving that troublesome place at their fastest speed.
Not long after they left, a figure shrouded in black mist and wearing a black robe appeared in Maple City.
He looked at Han Feng, who had already turned into a charred corpse, and extended his palm forward, a suction force erupting from his palm.
"Hmm? No soul?" The black-robed man retracted his hand and muttered softly:
"Logically, the soul of a Six-Rank Alchemist shouldn't dissipate so easily. Did the person who killed him directly destroy his soul, or has a Peers been here? What a pity..."
Then, his figure distorted for a moment and disappeared from the spot.
...
A giant turtle, wreathed in lightning, ran swiftly across the ground. Beneath its feet, thunder faintly rumbled, and with each step, it could soar dozens of meters forward.
The Lightning Turtle is a Magical Beast renowned for its speed; even the Wind Splitting Eagle, also known for its speed, was not as fast as it and was left far behind.
On the turtle's large head stood a thin young man wearing a black classical robe.
Traveling through the wilderness at extreme speed, they arrived at a valley. The Lightning Turtle plunged forward without stopping, leaping into the valley. On its shell, a pair of wings made of lightning condensed.
The wings vibrated rapidly, carrying Amon to the vicinity of the mountain wall.
Amon coughed lightly, and his figure immediately split into two.
The Worm of Spirit that had separated and transformed into Amon's avatar looked at Amon, who was standing on the turtle's back, and clicked its tongue, saying:
"You're making me do dangerous things again?"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and golden flames appeared on his hand.
He extended his palm, and the flames, fueled by the infusion of Dou Qi, surged violently, sweeping forward and burning a deep cave into the mountain wall.
This Amon let out a muffled grunt, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. This was the backlash caused by the World's rules after burning the destiny of this part of the rock.
The Flame of Destiny is a very dangerous thing, both for others and for Amon himself.
Because Amon himself was unsure what kind of destiny a certain person or object carried, and how much backlash the rules would cause.
He was not yet very familiar with the use of this flame; he was still in the exploratory stage.
"The backlash of the World's rules... it's truly terrifying. Just burning some stones can injure a peak Dou King," Amon sighed.
"You're not the one who got injured..." The clone Amon complained, "Don't underestimate any stone; maybe a Dou Emperor once sat on it and drank beast milk."
Although the Flame of Destiny is dangerous, it is very useful. Except for Amon himself, other beings seem to have difficulty perceiving its existence, and only when directly facing its threat can they clearly perceive it.
If one were to carve a cave in the rock wall using the Azure Lotus Core Flame or Dou Qi, some sensitive individuals or Magical Beasts in the distance might notice the commotion here. But using the Flame of Destiny could avoid detection.
Amon walked into the cave and formed a barrier with the Flame of Destiny, sealing the entrance.
He opened his mouth and spat out a Worm of Spirit.
A translucent soul slowly floated out of the Worm of Spirit.
