My Cultivation Was Wasted at the Beginning, and My Side Effects Were Transferred

78: How can you shine in front of me?”What a powerful aura!”

Lu Fengming narrowed his eyes as he watched the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor arrive, a hint of apprehension in his gaze.

He had originally thought that a second-rate sect like Shenhuo Sect wouldn’t have any true powerhouses.

Now, it seemed the Shenhuo Sect’s strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

The old man’s strength had long since broken through the Spirit Division Stage, even reaching the Combination Realm; he was a true Combination Realm powerhouse.

Combination Realm!

This was only the second time Lu Fengming had faced a Combination Realm powerhouse.

Moreover, the powerful aura emanating from this old man made even Lu Fengming feel a hint of apprehension, clearly indicating that the opponent’s strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Shenhuo Sect, a second-rate sect in the Yan Yang Empire, actually concealed a Combination Realm powerhouse.

The overall strength of the Yan Yang Empire was significantly greater than that of the Tianyu Empire and Qingtian Sword Sect.

Lu Fengming once again fixed his gaze on the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor, his eyes filled with a hint of apprehension.

”It is you, junior, who dares to speak so brazenly here, claiming to annihilate my Shenhuo Sect?”

”Indeed, it is I. What of it?” Lu Fengming said coldly.

Although he felt some apprehension towards the old man, it didn’t mean Lu Fengming truly feared him.

Isn’t he just a Combination Realm powerhouse?

So what?

Lu Fengming had killed Combination Realm powerhouses before.

This old man wouldn’t be the first Combination Realm powerhouse Lu Fengming killed, and he surely wouldn’t be the last.

”Boy, you’re courting death.”

Hearing Lu Fengming’s arrogant words completely enraged the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor.

An unknown fury surged rapidly from his body, soaring into the sky.

Not only that, but the fury seemed to have materialized.

It wasn’t just fury; it was a towering inferno.

With the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor at the center, an area of ten thousand li seemed to be completely engulfed.

”Disciples of Shenhuo Sect, listen to my command! All of you retreat, or don’t blame this old man for accidentally killing you!” the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor roared.

The aura around him rapidly spread in all directions.

Even without the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor’s reminder, upon sensing the powerful aura emanating from him and the shockwaves, how could the Shenhuo Sect disciples dare to linger?

One by one, they fled, scrambling in all directions.

”Little beast, since you dare to be insolent in front of this venerable one, let this venerable one send you on your way. It is your honor to die by this venerable one’s hand.”

As the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor finished speaking, he opened his hands.

An extremely vast power of fire formed in his palms, shooting straight into the sky.

Within that formidable aura, a fiery dragon with bared fangs and claws took shape.

That world-destroying aura also continuously spread at this moment.

The formidable power made many disciples of the Shenhuo Sect tremble with fear.

As that power formed, the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor didn’t hold back, quickly striking out.

A blazing fire dragon, carrying world-destroying power, charged forward relentlessly, rapidly attacking in Lu Fengming’s direction.

Seeing this, Lu Fengming was greatly alarmed.

A sense of crisis formed in his mind, rapidly sweeping through him.

As expected of a Combination Realm powerhouse, he possessed such formidable power with just one move.

Compared to a Spirit Division cultivator, he was incomparably stronger.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fengming quickly activated the power of his Thunder Divine Body.

His physical divine ability and magical divine ability quickly combined, operating the power of lightning, and he slammed out a palm.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The fiery power of the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor and Lu Fengming’s lightning power collided in the void.

The two powerful forces rapidly impacted, merged, and collided, forming a purple mushroom cloud that quickly exploded.

The aftershocks of the two forces continuously swept in all directions.

That powerful force resembled a purple rose blooming in all directions.

Rumble!

With Lu Fengming and the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor at the center, that force continued to rage in all directions, an indiscriminate attack on everything within the range of the explosion’s aftermath.

A powerful wave of air swept out, and even the many disciples of the Shenhuo Sect who had fled thousands of feet away, upon being struck by that torrential storm, were instantly sent flying an unknown number of meters, their mouths continuously spewing fresh blood.

Even Shenhuo Sect disciples with insufficient strength, after being suppressed by this powerful force, were instantly shattered to pieces, leaving no bones behind.

At the very center of the explosion, the figures of Lu Fengming and the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor also retreated rapidly backward.

After retreating a certain distance, the two stood in the void, gazing at each other from afar.

In their gazes towards each other, there was an unprecedented solemnity.

The strength of a Combination Realm cultivator was indeed formidable, truly not to be underestimated.

”Damn little beast, I didn’t expect you, at such a young age, to possess such terrifying power. However, in front of this old man, you are still somewhat lacking.”

”As the Sect Master of Shenhuo Sect, when this old man made his name, you, boy, had not yet been born; you were merely a void. In front of this old man, how can you shine?”

Although he hadn’t defeated Lu Fengming in one move, the previous battle was, at most, a draw, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Yet, on the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor’s face, besides a hint of shock, there was only utter disdain.

A cold sneer still lingered at the corners of his mouth.

”Old man, what good is your glib tongue? Your actual combat skills are quite poor.”

”Come on, use all your might! I also want to see how many tricks you, the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor, a Combination Realm powerhouse, truly have up your sleeve, and whether you can even catch Lu Fengming’s eye.”

Hearing the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor’s arrogant words, Lu Fengming’s face revealed a hint of grimness, his domineering aura leaking out, seemingly not putting this Shenhuo Sect Ancestor in his eyes.

”Damn little beast, how dare you be arrogant in front of this old man! If I don’t kill you, I swear I am not human!”

Hearing such arrogant words from Lu Fengming, a junior, completely enraged the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor.

With a roar, the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor immediately activated all his spiritual power, and countless magical divine abilities formed in his hands.

The power unleashed was even greater than before, not less.

The towering inferno soared into the sky.

Under the powerful scorching temperature, it seemed capable of completely melting the entire surface of the earth.

Turbulent, rolling flames continuously surged, and all the power around the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor was also activated, concentrating on his fist.

This punch, like an intercontinental missile, roared out rapidly, carrying an irresistible, all-destroying momentum.

The entire void was shattered by the power of this punch.

All the air currents at this moment were also rapidly shaken apart, completely melted and evaporated by this scorching temperature.

Rumble!

An extremely vast explosion sound rang out, and under the attack of that explosive force, Lu Fengming’s body continuously retreated backward.

The ground beneath Lu Fengming’s feet was almost completely pierced through by that force.

Not only that, but the nearby mountains, upon being struck by that powerful force, trembled ceaselessly.

Cracks like spider webs continuously spread out, extending, causing the entire ground to appear with one spider web-like crack after another.

The Shenhuo Sect Ancestor’s eyes blazed with fire as he stared intently at Lu Fengming.

He suddenly raised his hands, constantly changing their positions, finally forming a strange fiery red imprint.

A power as vast as the sea, as immense as the ocean, thus condensed and surged forth.

”Divine Fire Seal!”

As that fiery red imprint was unleashed, Lu Fengming’s lightning power also rapidly met it.

Instantly, with Lu Fengming and the Shenhuo Sect Ancestor at the center, the entire space continuously vibrated.

Under that fiery red imprint, this space was already overwhelmed, twisting and deforming, with the power of space continuously collapsing downwards, as if it could crumble and completely shatter at any moment.
