Chapter 754: Rampaging Long Kun

Defiant, Yun Guang saw that his explosive strike hadn't had the expected effect. As if challenging himself, he ascended once more, carried by his dark black horse, and approached the colossal boulder for a second time.

This time, however, Yun Guang discovered that the temperature radiating from the boulder was terrifyingly extreme.

"Oh no… the power of this flame!"

"Yun Guang, be careful, come back quickly!"

Tong Sheng and the others at the top of the slope cried out, as their elevated vantage point clearly showed that Long Kun was in a highly unusual state.

Unbeknownst to them, Long Kun had already unleashed all of his long-accumulated inner power; he had gained the qualification to touch the Heavenly Dao.

The power of the flames continued to erupt as Long Kun, as if suddenly gone berserk, frantically pushed the massive boulder upward, gradually propelling it towards the summit of the forty-five-degree steep slope.

This was no easy feat, yet Long Kun was writing his own glory through his actions and sheer power.

Wherever the boulder passed, the ground was scorched black. The intense flames were silently becoming the dominant force on this Western battlefield.

"I'd like to see who on this Western battlefield dares to stand before me, Long Kun, today!"

Long Kun roared hysterically, his voice like the cry of a phoenix from the heavens, shaking the eight directions. He clearly had the entire situation under his control.

"Boss, what do we do now? This guy seems… berserk!"

Tong Sheng, being well-informed, quickly made the most accurate judgment.

"He's like a taut bowstring right now. The extreme pressure has forced out his full strength. Therefore, if we confront him directly, we won't have the slightest chance of winning."

The child-like boy in a traditional bib, Tong Ge, blinked his large eyes and asked, "So, Boss, what should we do to counter this?"

"It's simple. The best way to deal with him is to make this taut string of his relax."

"Deploy the sealing array!"

As Tong Sheng finished speaking, Tong Yi immediately moved, forming hand seals with her bare hands. She began to use the surrounding spatial power to create maximum elemental interference for Long Kun's current spell.

However, she soon discovered that the stronger the elemental power, the faster it was extinguished upon touching the flames around Long Kun.

"What do we do? Boss, this guy is like a madman, his flames are too strong! Is this the power of a Phoenix lineage successor? It's too exaggerated!"

Tong Yi furrowed her brows, then suddenly pulled out an ice-blue jade flute. She began to play it towards the continuously rising scorching boulder below. The beautiful melody, like a guide in the wind, continuously gathered elemental forces from all directions to the center of the battlefield to resist Long Kun's flames.

"Hahahaha! I'd like to see who among you can stop me today!"

Like a peerless fire god, Long Kun continuously accelerated his pushing speed. His fiery aura had completely enveloped the colossal boulder. No one could stop his roaring shouts or his relentless advance.

"He's a lunatic, a damned lunatic!"

Tong Sheng's eyes grew colder, and he waved his hand behind him.

This time, Tong Guang and Tong Ge joined forces with Tong Yi to block the burning boulder.

A single person fighting against three top-tier masters of primal power from the Flowing Cloud Dynasty — this was undoubtedly a landmark battle for Long Kun.

It should be known that the three individuals before him were all first-rate god-level masters. Battling three god-level experts simultaneously with a body that had not yet attained godhood, Long Kun had already set an unprecedented record in his battle history.

"Hahahaha, good, excellent! I finally understand why Boss is so keen on finding stronger opponents for himself. Only by putting true pressure on yourself can you ignite that battle fervor and achieve real improvement! This time, I'll use the three of you as stepping stones!"

With a roar, Long Kun's phoenix totem soared behind him. Guided by his spiritual power, it swiftly locked onto the three masters before him, continuously spewing scorching phoenix flames and launching a fierce assault.

However, the primal power of these three individuals was entirely focused on the boulder's surface, leaving them with insufficient strength to resist the flames directly.

"Damn it, the temperature of these flames is too high. My physical body can't resist it for long. What do we do now?"

The black horse beneath Tong Guang had already lost all its fur from the burning. He was barely holding on, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"Attack this boulder with full force! We can only defeat our opponent by using the stone's power. Otherwise, we have no chance of victory!"

Although Yun Ge appeared only as a child, it had to be said that this little fellow possessed natural leadership talent. The battle plan he laid out was truly impeccable.

Boom!

Indeed, the three concentrated all their strength on attacking the boulder, finally halting its advance once again and forcibly pausing Long Kun's overwhelming attack rhythm.

"Explode!"

Long Kun, enraged, condensed his incredibly powerful Phoenix True Flame and directly pulverized the massive boulder, dozens of meters in diameter, before him.

With the disappearance of this power-transmitting medium, Long Kun remained unharmed. The three masters, however, were simultaneously sent flying dozens of meters away. General Tong Yi, whose primary focus was spiritual power, did not possess outstanding physical strength; she was now scorched by Long Kun's mutated Phoenix flames and temporarily lost her combat capability.

"Heh, with such meager tricks, you dare to challenge me? Overestimating yourselves!"

Long Kun sneered and suddenly kicked out, his body consumed by flames. Terrifying power continuously surged forth, quickly reaching the limits of his physical endurance. At that moment, he finally understood Xu Yang's profound intentions.

It turned out that Xu Yang had long known Long Kun's limits. The reason he had encouraged Long Kun to avoid battle and simply rely on him for easy victories was precisely his concern that Long Kun couldn't control the immensely wild phoenix power within him.

This power, he believed, could originally only be sustained by a divine beast-level physical body. His acquisition of the Phoenix blood had been inherently perilous; without the personal guidance of the Phoenix God, Long Kun likely would have exploded and died on the spot.

For years, Xu Yang had instructed Long Kun to consume various resources to strengthen his foundation, all to ensure that the vessel carrying the Phoenix bloodline had sufficient capacity to control this immense energy.

And now, after bathing in the divine essence left by Jitan, Long Kun finally had the capability to rival gods!

At this moment, this unrestrained burning flame power completely ignited Long Kun's desire to take this step.

He was determined to complete his path to godhood at Yun Tian Pass!

"No more waiting, I've waited too many years, let it be now…"

Long Kun murmured to himself, slowly closed his eyes, and a deep, unprecedented calm settled within him.
