Chapter 998: Suppress! Suppress!

Elder Huo's expression shifted; he hadn't expected this kid to be able to detect him.

Lin Fan's fist, imbued with the power of Doomsday Calamity and the Source, unleashed a force that was unfathomable, as if seeking a hidden trajectory.

The disciples outside, witnessing this scene, were filled with amazement. They hadn't expected this disciple to be so formidable, able to contend with Elder Huo to such an extent.

It was simply beyond belief.

Elder Huo's figure emerged from the void, his five fingers forming a claw, as if grasping, reaching for Lin Fan's fist.

Bang!

The two forces violently exploded, creating a rift in the void, distorting space itself.

The collision was too powerful, utterly irresistible; everything would dissipate into nothingness, vanishing from heaven and earth.

"Kid, is this the strength you're so proud of?" A disdainful voice came as Elder Huo's claw seized Lin Fan's fist.

His cold gaze was like that of someone looking at a pitiful wretch.

Lin Fan frowned. Elder Huo had some skill, but if he thought this could suppress him, he was sorely mistaken.

"Arrogant and self-righteous. Today, I'll teach you a lesson."

Elder Huo snorted coldly, his body trembling as a fierce flame erupted. Lin Fan felt the scorching heat on Elder Huo's grip, then a spark flared, growing into a blazing inferno.

"Not good," Qingyangzi exclaimed, alarmed.

"That's the old fire bastard's divine flame, capable of burning everything. If that kid doesn't break free soon, something terrible will happen," Qingyangzi said.

Li Qing watched nervously, unsure how this would be resolved.

He had seen the power of Elder Huo's flame before; in a secret realm, Elder Huo had used this divine fire to burn a powerful expert to ashes, erasing him from the world.

"Kid, if you don't want to die, cut off your own arm," Elder Huo said, a cruel glint in his eyes.

The divine sons, seeing this, were overjoyed. How satisfying, truly satisfying.

This was exactly what they wanted—to teach this arrogant fool a lesson.

In their eyes, it would be best if the kid was burned to ashes.

The elders on the viewing platform remained still, waiting. If things truly went awry, they would intervene to stop the match.

They wouldn't let such a disciple die at Elder Huo's hands.

Even if Lin Fan lost an arm, he could regenerate it.

"This divine flame is extraordinary. I wonder how the kid will withstand it," one elder remarked.

"Eh!"

At that moment, another elder let out a surprised exclamation, sensing a change.

Facing the divine flame, Lin Fan showed no sign of pain; instead, a faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Ding, congratulations! Eternal Indestructible Body experience increased by 200,000."

The flame burning on his arm was actually providing him with a steady stream of experience, which delighted Lin Fan.

But now wasn't the time to level up using Elder Huo. To deal with this old bastard, he needed to strike swiftly and decisively, suppressing him directly to stop his insolence.

"You want to compete in flames? Let's see if you have what it takes," Lin Fan snorted coldly, unleashing the flame of One Thought into Pill.

This flame was a system gift for alchemy.

Though it couldn't be used offensively, since the old bastard was gripping his fist, even if he couldn't attack directly, he could still burn him to a crisp.

A small flame appeared on Lin Fan's fist, seemingly ordinary, but in that instant, Elder Huo's expression drastically changed.

Elder Huo, born from a divine flame, had a sensitivity to fire far beyond anyone else.

At that moment, sensing Lin Fan's flame, an overwhelming terror surged within him.

"What kind of flame is this? How is this possible?"

Elder Huo screamed, as if seeing a ghost.

Though small, the flame burned through mana and protective aura, leaving no room for resistance.

This was alchemical fire, capable of melting any material, even divine iron, let alone a True Immortal's arm.

"If you don't want to be burned to ashes, cut off your own arm," Lin Fan said coldly, throwing the words back at him.

"You..."

Elder Huo glared at Lin Fan, his sun-like hair flying wildly, his face twisted with rage. "You're asking for death!"

"Path of Fire Spirit, Annihilate the Heavens!"

In that moment, Elder Huo roared, spitting out a mass of blood essence. The blood essence shimmered with golden divine light, imbued with the power of the fire spirit, then fell like raindrops onto his burning arm.

"I never thought this kid would be so strong, forcing the old bastard to expend his blood essence and use the Path of Fire Spirit," Qingyangzi said, utterly shocked.

This drop of blood essence wasn't just lifeblood; it was the very essence of Elder Huo's true form, the divine flame.

Losing even one drop would weaken him considerably, and now losing such a mass was practically a desperate gamble.

Sizzle!

As the blood essence sprayed onto his arm, Elder Huo's arm turned even redder, covered in layers of crimson runes like innate talismans.

Yet even so, it couldn't stop the flame's侵蚀.

"Ah!"

A blood-curdling scream shook the heavens.

Elder Huo's eyes turned bloodshot, filled with terror at what he saw.

In an instant, Elder Huo violently shook, shattering the arm.

Flames surged, and in that thousandth of a second, the severed arm turned to ashes.

"Damn you! You actually intended to kill me!" Elder Huo roared in fury. He hadn't expected the kid to truly want him dead.

If he had hesitated even a fraction of a second longer, it wouldn't have been just an arm reduced to ashes, but his entire body.

He was a divine flame, yet how could there be a flame more domineering than his?

Impossible...

A wild gleam flashed in Lin Fan's eyes. In the moment Elder Huo was stunned, he moved, appearing before him in an instant.

He struck out with a palm, suppressing him in a single move.

Bang!

A violent force erupted, slamming Elder Huo into the ground, his body sinking deep into the earth.

"Hmph, Elder Huo, nothing special," Lin Fan said, stepping on him and looking around with a domineering tone.

At that moment, silence fell.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Elder Huo had lost.

Lost so easily, without even a chance to fight back.

Even after expending his blood essence, he couldn't turn the tide. This sight not only shocked the disciples but also left the elders astonished.

Who was this disciple, and how could his combat power be so formidable?

And now, Lin Fan was still looking at the divine sons.

"Do you submit?"
