Chapter 62: The 4th Netherfire
Lu Qingshan had seized another city!
Up until now, he had consecutively defeated six formidable opponents, breaking into the finals.
He was merely one step away from claiming the title of leader of the Seven Domains.
In the last round of the finals, he would face the winner between Mo Yan and Zhou Yuan.
If it were Mo Yan, given his ability to counter Mo Yan's tactics, his chances of winning were extremely high.
However, facing Zhou Yuan who had also secured the leader title in his past life and still dominated everyone with his Nascent Soul cultivation this time, Lu Qingshan did not harbor much hope for luck.
Because in every aspect, Zhou Yuan's chances of winning overwhelmingly surpassed Mo Yan's.
"The second match of the sixth round of the arena battle, Mo Yan versus Zhou Yuan, begins now!"
As Lu Qingshan thought this, Mo Yan and Zhou Yuan had already stepped onto the stage, announced by the suspended sage.
After three rounds of being passed over, the crowd was finally able to see Zhou Yuan make a move.
And his first opponent was the strongest dark horse of this Seven Domains' contest, Mo Yan.
This battle was equally full of highlights.
Zhou Yuan, with two strange lines etched on his face, stared at Mo Yan and said in a deep voice, "You are strong, but the gap between us is bigger than you think."
Mo Yan responded to Zhou Yuan's evaluation calmly, "Then please enlighten me, Daoist Zhou."
"Let's begin." Zhou Yuan said, and a fire-red, exquisite fox leapt out from his waist, transforming into a flame and merging into Zhou Yuan's body.
That was his demon pet, a Fourth Grade Flame Fox.
The next moment, an earth-shattering change occurred in Zhou Yuan.
The two strange lines on his face lit up, and his figure suddenly began to swell, transforming into a towering giant made of fire, with flames swirling around his body and a terrifying presence spreading out.
That was the terrifying coercion of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"I hear you are quite proficient in the Fire Method." Zhou Yuan, now with huge flaming eyes, stared at the diminutive Mo Yan and said word by word.
Facing Zhou Yuan's oppression, Mo Yan remained unmoved, "It should be passable."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
With a sweep of his hand, a thick burst of Flame Element Qi erupted from Mo Yan's body, rising up and transforming into a vast fire cloud in the sky, with endless streams of red and blue flames pouring down, attacking Zhou Yuan together.
The entire Heaven and Earth were filled with a killing intent.
Zhou Yuan showed a hint of seriousness, his body's overflowing flames suddenly intensified, he swung out his left hand fiercely, radiance flowing, dazzlingly brilliant, meeting the oncoming wave of fire attacks.
Boom!
Zhou Yuan's casual swing had actually dispersed Mo Yan's carefully prepared wave of attacks.
This was the suppression of realms.

Mo Yan's expression turned solemn, his eyes slightly narrowed, his fists also slowly clenched.
Though he had been psychologically prepared for a defeat in this battle,
his pride did not allow him to be eliminated in an utterly crushed manner.
What was even harder to accept was that Zhou Yuan was defeating him through the method of Fire Method.
With fists clenched, Mo Yan glanced at Zhou Yuan. In the next moment, two-colored Netherfire burst forth from his hands.
"Netherfire Fusion, huh?" Zhou Yuan watched with interest as Mo Yan combined the two-colored Netherfire in his hands, forming a tiny, exotic-looking lotus.
On the stage, Mo Yan held the red and blue Netherfire lotus and looked up at Zhou Yuan, who had transformed into a giant of flames, and flicked his finger lightly.
Suddenly, the red and blue Netherfire lotus transformed into a streak of Radiance, like a flash of lightning, fiercely shooting towards Zhou Yuan.
As the Netherfire lotus got closer and closer to Zhou Yuan, Mo Yan had a thought and shouted lowly, "Explode!"
As the shout fell, the red and blue fire lotus soaring through the air exploded violently, detonating directly on the unflinching flame giant.
"Boom!"
The deafening explosion resounded suddenly on the platform.
Even though they had seen it many times, the cultivators watching the battle were still immensely shocked by the power of the Netherfire Fusion.
After a long while, they looked at each other with lingering fear, before turning their gaze toward the dusty platform above.
As the dust, smoke, and flames cleared, a colossal figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was Zhou Yuan.
At this moment, the flames clinging to his body had dissipated greatly, reduced to a faint, barely visible mantle of flame, yet he was completely unharmed!
"If that's all, it's far from enough," Zhou Yuan said quietly.
Although Zhou Yuan's words were bland and irritating, they were not false.
With Zhou Yuan's current strength, even with the aid of Netherfire Fusion, Mo Yan was unable to shake him.
Netherfire Fusion was already Mo Yan's strongest attack method.
Yet Zhou Yuan did not dodge or evade, and he withstood this Netherfire Lotus, yet he was completely unscathed.
As Zhou Yuan said, the gap between the two was simply too great; Mo Yan had no chance of winning.
After sweeping his gaze over Zhou Yuan, Mo Yan quickly withdrew it.
He slowly exhaled, his gaze slightly downcast, and after a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth fiercely.
To truly shake Zhou Yuan, he would have to use that technique, even though he had not yet fully mastered it until now.
Once his mind was made up, Mo Yan no longer hesitated.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Red and blue Netherfire emerged in front of him once again.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan laughed, "Still not convinced? But I will not give you a second chance!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The next moment, the flame giant that Zhou Yuan had transformed into took rumbling steps, charging toward Mo Yan.
Facing the swiftly approaching Zhou Yuan, Mo Yan raised his eyelids, and the Red Lotus Fire and Cold Spirit Fire quickly merged into a red and blue lotus.
This step was already familiar to him, naturally flawless.
But this time, this step was not the end!
Mo Yan flicked his finger, and a trembling ball of eerie white flame emitting coldness rapidly emerged in front of him.
If two types of Netherfire can't hurt you, then three will!
...
"That's Necromantic Cold Fire!" exclaimed the great master Jinyang, watching from a distance as the ball of flame appeared, "Has Mo Yan really refined four types of Netherfire?
Can such violent Netherfire truly coexist within one person without blowing his body apart?"
Necromantic Cold Fire, twenty-fourth on the Netherfire Ranking.
Its essence is the same as the twenty-third Flame of Life, but one governs life and the other death.
The two types of Netherfire have a mysterious connection to each other, even capable of sensing each other from thousands of miles away.
This explains the saying about getting both Necromantic Cold Fire and Flame of Life in one go.
Necromantic Cold Fire was what Mo Yan referred to when he mentioned looking for an old acquaintance with Yan in the sea.
Seeing the Necromantic Cold Fire appear, Mo Yan did not hesitate at all. With a clap of his hands, the red and blue Fire Lotus was pushed into the ball of Necromantic Cold Fire.
As the three Netherfire made contact, the space around Mo Yan began to fluctuate violently, a terrifyingly potent force started to emerge.
