230 A King, I Am!

Outside of the barrier.

The nearby cities could feel the explosions as it shook the earth tremendously. The clouds were dark enough to give everyone chills that something big was going on somewhere. After a few minutes, suddenly, the gravity was reversed as everything turned upside down!

"What's going on...?" A sect master was pale from fright as he experienced this kind of phenomenon first hand, "Is it the end of the world?"

Judging by the current happening, it really seemed like it was the end of the world.

"There's a probability that it is..." An ancestor answered, "But I hope that it's not the case. If it's really the end of the world, us mortals will die as well. We cannot migrate into another world to save ourselves."

"..." The sect master did not know what to say. But he clasped his hands to pray to the gods to not let anything happen to them. Their sect was about to prosper and would be acknowledged by the White Castle. This was the perfect time to rise from the bottom and be one of the predators of this world.

Inside the barrier, Jin Rou's aura completely changed. With his eyes closed, the snake-like thunders around him suddenly stopped circulating.

"..." Yanlu Rou was puzzled. What was her grandson trying to do? But she was surprised as his aura had completely changed, "It seems that Jin'er is about to do something big. Did he perhaps decide what would he choose?"

"Boom!" The moment Jin Rou opened his eyes, an explosive sound reverberated around him as his eyes revealed a deep determination which shook his grandma a bit, "Rou Fire Style, Fifth Movement: Ring Of Hell Flame!"

"Whoosh!" White flames appeared out of nowhere as it immediately surrounded the entire barrier of Dual Doves Mountain Range shaping into a ring. The white flames were so aggressive and thick that no one would dare to touch it. If anyone dared, they would just be seeking their own deaths.

"Ring Of Hell Flame? This is a technique with a very tough defense." Yanlu Rou was puzzled for a moment. The Rou Fire Style, Fifth Movement, was a defense that was way tougher than the Unbreakable Castle Of The Everlasting Void. While the castle could protect its master in one direction, the ring could actually protect its master from attacks in all directions. But what made Yanlu Rou confused was with the largeness of the ring, it should not be for protecting Jin Rou. After all, the ring circulated not with Jin Rou alone, but to the entire Dual Doves Mountain Range.

However, Yanlu Rou seemed to have been enlightened as her eyes revealed extreme surprised. A bit of fright was expressed as well as she muttered, "Don't tell me..."

But Yanlu Rou did not finish her sentence as Jin Rou moved once again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Explosive sounds that were more terrifying than before sounded and shook the entire void, leaving dreadful pits and cracks all around. Soon, a big phoenix, which was made of white and red flames, suddenly appeared majestically. Its body covered the entire half of the ring as it flapped its wings in an intimidating manner.

"Kruuuuuu!" The phoenix howled against Yanlu Rou. Its eyes were filled deep killing intent as if it wanted to eat her alive.

"Phoenix Of Damnation." Yanlu Rou muttered to herself. She was not intimidated by the sudden appearance of this phoenix. Rather, she was shocked, "Do you really want to do that, Jin'er? You must be aware of the effect of that act if you take even a slight misstep."

She could not help but be worried about the well-being of her grandson. The Phoenix Of Damnation was the Rou Fire Style, Third Movement and it boasted a very high attack power. If this phoenix were to be set free outside of this barrier, it could easily turn the whole world into ashes in just a short amount of time. Jin Rou cast a technique that boasted a tougher defense than her castle, and at the same time cast a technique with a terrifying offense.

What did Jin Rou mean when he cast these two techniques at the same time? Yanlu Rou was already certain when Jin Rou used the phoenix.

"I am the Celestial King of this universe. Thus, if I failed to protect either my subjects and the innocent, I have no right to call myself a King!" Jin Rou bravely declared, "A King, I am!"

At this point, if anyone could see Jin Rou, they would immediately fall in love with him, not because of his handsomeness but his disposition and temperament as someone who was above all of the beings.

"Kuruuuuu!" The phoenix howled and lifted its beak. Soon, it opened its mouth and fired a beam of horrifying red flames towards the space barrier which was keeping the members of the LD Sect.

"Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom!" Yanlu Rou did not do anything as she just watched the space barrier being ravaged by the flames. The wind scattered in all directions and it created fluctuations all around the void! The ring could not defend some of its flames as some had passed through, breaking the barrier and nearby cities were caught on fire. Whatever the flames passed by, it would immediately turn into nothingness. Thus, the people around decided to not bother with the city and just flee far away until the flames were gone. Although the nearby cities and sects were ruined, at the very least, there was a minimum casualty.

"Crack! Crack!" Soon, the space barrier revealed cracks as it turned into bigger webs of cracks. It seemed that it could no longer take the attack of the phoenix.

"Crack! Bang!" True enough, the space barrier, which was created by Yanlu Rou to imprison Jin Rou's friends, was destroyed with an explosive sound.

Thud!

Jin Rou could not help but kneel in the air and almost vomited blood but he stopped it. The backlash of using his own technique against his technique was something only a madman would do. After all, this was forbidden as it could affect the talent and the future prospect of an individual.

Fortunately enough, Jin Rou had only suffered a backlash and it weakened him to such this state.
