Chapter 632: Chapter 631: Complete Suppression

"AHHHH..."

Agonized screams echoed from all corners of the great hall. Some, upon being touched by the flames, swiftly severed their own limbs. As for those whose heads caught fire, they were finished.

Just a few splattering embers were enough to engulf the entire great hall in flames. No matter how they tried to extinguish the fire, it was useless. At best, they could only slow the burning; putting it out completely was far too difficult.

In an instant, many of the ministers were dead. Those who managed to escape were already missing arms and legs, all grievously injured.

’The Supreme Emperor won’t lose, he won’t lose...’ They still firmly believed the Supreme Emperor would not be defeated so quickly, that there was still a chance for a comeback.

In reality, regardless of whether there was a chance for a comeback, their Qianyuan Empire’s Vitality was now grievously wounded. Many ministers were dead; in the blink of an eye, more than half of them were gone. How could that not be a devastating blow? If only they hadn’t provoked Yi Tianyun, none of this would have happened.

Thinking about it now filled them with endless regret. Who in their right mind would have provoked such a monster?

Immediately, a green light shot toward the sky, followed by a figure wreathed in green light leaping out of the flames. It was Supreme Emperor Qianyuan. The onlookers were about to cheer, but when they got a clear look, it was as if a giant hand had seized them by the throat, nearly suffocating them. Large parts of Supreme Emperor Qianyuan’s body were on fire, and one of his arms had been completely destroyed, reduced to a pile of ash.

The rest of his body wasn’t in much better shape, either. It was also on fire, with large holes burned through it. Fortunately, he was able to stop the flames from spreading further, unlike the others who could only resort to amputation.

In contrast, Yi Tianyun was completely unharmed. His body remained wreathed in fire, and the very air within a three-meter radius was ignited by the Black Flame. Anyone who came within three meters of him would be set ablaze; this terrifying power was enough to make one tremble.

Their most revered Supreme Emperor... crippled, just like that? He was being utterly suppressed, without even a chance to fight back.

’Such powerful flames... my Divine Wood Body is being suppressed...’ Supreme Emperor Qianyuan’s expression was grim. He had never expected Yi Tianyun to possess such terrifying flames.

Fire just so happened to suppress his power. Against any other type of Attribute, he would have been fearless. But this fire was the most terrifying of all, capable of easily igniting his entire being!

’The power boost from attribute-based damage is really something else.’ Yi Tianyun was extremely satisfied with this damage bonus based on Attributes.

Against a weakness, the damage was increased by more than half, which meant it was approaching ten billion! The damage bonus was simply heaven-defying. It was his opponent’s bad luck to be so completely countered.

’I was looking forward to a good fight, but is there even a shred of suspense left now? What Divine Wood Body? In my eyes, it’s just a piece of kindling that ignites with a single spark.’

"Where’s that bravado from before? Weren’t you going to put me in my place? Go on, do it. I’m waiting." Yi Tianyun walked toward Supreme Emperor Qianyuan step by step, completely unafraid of his power.

Supreme Emperor Qianyuan did not reply. With a flick of his hand, he released an endless stream of the Power of Life from his body. In the blink of an eye, the arm that had been burned to ash was restored.

This ability to regenerate a lost limb was nothing special for him; he didn’t need to draw on any external power to do it.

This was the power of the Divine Wood Body. His body was like a tree trunk, capable of sprouting new branches and leaves at will, with no effort at all. But regenerating them was useless; they could still be set on fire.

"Wood God Technique, All Trees Return to the Root!"

Supreme Emperor Qianyuan refused to sit idly by and wait for his doom. A brilliant green light shot from his pupils. He then slammed his hand on the ground, and a green light surged frantically through the earth. Instantly, countless towering trees erupted from the ground, each one possessing incredibly sharp branches that whipped toward Yi Tianyun. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

In that instant, the entire Qianyuan Empire began to tremble—even the entire continent shook!

The surrounding Spiritual Power was continuously siphoned away. Viewed from the outside, it looked as if the ambient power of heaven and earth was being forcibly gathered by some unknown force before pouring into the great hall.

"What is going on? This is like a divine miracle..."

The citizens outside the Qianyuan Imperial City saw an endless stream of glowing motes converging on the palace. They looked like fireflies in the night, each tiny point of light shining with brilliant starlight.

Many Cultivators felt the Spiritual Power around them being rapidly drained, making it impossible for them to continue their cultivation. Such a phenomenon was extremely rare. Unless someone had activated an enormous Spirit Gathering Array, the Spiritual Power would never be depleted so thoroughly.

"Who activated a massive Spirit Gathering Array? Are they trying to keep anyone else from cultivating?"

They emerged from their cultivation chambers one after another, and when they looked up at the points of starlight, they were all stunned. From a distance, it looked like a divine miracle. When they realized it was all flowing into the imperial palace within the Qianyuan Imperial City, no one dared to utter another word of complaint.

Heaven only knew what Emperor Qianyuan and the others were up to, but it was certainly something extraordinary.

Meanwhile, the scene inside the great hall was astonishing. Giant trees grew everywhere, many of them bursting through the roof and reaching for the sky outside. But as soon as these colossal trees appeared, the flames began to burn them frantically.

"Be extinguished for me!"

Supreme Emperor Qianyuan roared, releasing the green light from his body to its absolute limit as he tried to extinguish the Black Flame. But more than the flames, he was focused on Yi Tianyun, who had been pierced by countless trees, wanting to see what had become of him.

BOOM!

A Black Dragon immediately burst out from within, viciously chomping down on everything in its path. Looking closer, one could see that Yi Tianyun had actually released several Fire Dragons, which were now rampaging in all directions.

One particularly terrifying Black Dragon lunged from afar and took a heavy bite straight at him. Supreme Emperor Qianyuan didn’t even have time to dodge. How could he have possibly imagined that Yi Tianyun could still unleash such a horrifying attack?

BOOM!

Accompanied by a shockwave of fire, Supreme Emperor Qianyuan was instantly set ablaze, letting out a torrent of screams. Even as the green light in his body flickered frantically, constantly healing his form, he could not withstand the terrifying conflagration.

From a corner, Emperor Qianyuan looked over at Yi Tianyun and saw that he had grown even larger. Two horns had sprouted from his head, making him look like an Evil God that had crawled up from the Underground Abyss to plunge the world into darkness!

"F-Father... Imperial Father..." Emperor Qianyuan cried out in terror. Seeing his father engulfed in flames, he was at a loss for words, his heart completely consumed by fear.

This was a battle between experts at the Saint King Stage. They could only watch from the sidelines; even then, being caught in the aftershocks would be fatal. Only now did they realize just how enormous the gap was between themselves and the Saint King Stage!

A large gap was to be expected. The crucial point was that Yi Tianyun’s power was even more terrifying because he was exploiting a weakness, exceeding all their expectations. If his opponent had possessed a different Attribute, he wouldn’t have been able to crush him so easily.
