The veteran and top factions’ disciples who were watching were also astonished by the recent development.
They did not understand why the fairy-type source-type lifeform that Zong Ze had just summoned was now seriously injured.
Gu Lang’s expression was grim as he stared at Lin Yuan. The longer he looked, the more he felt like there was a thick fog lingering around Lin Yuan, blurring his image even more with every passing second.
Zong Ze had only contracted the Blue Poison Flame Puppet two years ago.
During the several times they had sparred, Gu Lang had been at a big disadvantage due to the Blue Poison Flame Puppet.
Yet, this troublesome fey had turned into Lin Yuan’s advantage over Zong Ze.
After the recent development, Gu Lang formed the same idea as Zong Ze and felt that Lin Yuan’s sacred source lifeform had the ability to defend against spiritual energy.
Zong Ze returned the barely-breathing Blue Poison Flame Puppet and Life-Changing Fire Beast to the spiritual spatial zone with a wave of his hand.
The Blue Poison Flame Puppet could no longer fight, and Lin Yuan had nullified the Life-Changing Fire Beast’s attack. It would only be a waste of Zong Ze’s spiritual power to continue to sustain the Life-Changing Fire Beast in its Lava Demon God state.
Zong Ze looked at Lin Yuan and said, “You’re really strong. But I’m going to use my ultimate move now.”
Instead of growling due to being in the heat of battle, Zong Ze’s voice was filled with joy. But not even Zong Ze was aware of this.
Lin Yuan smiled brightly and said, “Same here. I’m also going to use my ultimate move.”
While he was speaking, Lin Yuan looked at the Fiery Sky Hou on Zong Ze’s shoulder with pity.
True Data had stated that the Fiery Sky Hou’s Group Fire Heart Flames was an ability that was directed at the spirit and mind.
The Fiery Sky Hou had yet to enter the battle and had only applied Flame Conduction on the Life-Changing Fire Beast.
Lin Yuan guessed that the Fiery Sky Hou was one of Zong Ze’s secret weapons.
If the Fiery Sky Hou used Group Fire Heart Flames on him, it would also be hit by recoil and be forced to exit the battle.
From then, another one of Zong Ze’s secret weapons would have fallen.
But after experiencing what had happened to the Blue Poison Flame Puppet, it was unlikely that Zong Ze would use Group Fire Heart Flames on Lin Yuan.
However, the presence of the Fiery Sky Hou also allowed Lin Yuan to experience the peak power of the younger generation of disciples.
Zong Ze turned to say to Zuo Ming, “Senior Zuo Ming, please pay close attention to my next attack from the moment it’s released from my hands.”
A look of seriousness came over Zuo Ming.
“Lord Zong Ze, I will make sure to pay close attention to everything that happens on the Martial Stage and react as soon as possible to be best of my judgment.”
At first, Zuo Ming sounded normal, but his voice soon turned cold and hoarse.
Due to the barrier, Zong Ze and Lin Yuan did not sense this change in Zuo Ming’s aura. However, the other veteran and top factions’ disciples felt as though a different world had crept up on them in the area outside the Midnight Palace.
This new world was barren, as though every living creature had decayed.
When the crowd looked at Zuo Ming, they saw a thick yellow armor covering him from head to toe.
Numerous sharp spikes protruded from the armor, and a long curly tail extended from his back.
One look at the thick and long tail was enough to sense its terrifying power, and it seemed as though the power encapsulated in the tail was enough to shatter the barren world that had been built outside the Midnight Palace.
Although he could not sense Zuo Ming’s aura, Lin Yuan had noticed the changes in his appearance.
Lin Yuan immediately knew that Zuo Ming had a fey that could ward his body.
This was not the first time that Lin Yuan had come across a spirit qi professional with a fey that could ward bodies. Xin Ying also had one.
Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief because this change in Zuo Ming meant that Lin Yuan could now use all his power without holding back.
Zong Ze ordered the Fiery Sky Hou, “Fiery Sky Hou, use Strange Flames Eight Refinement.”
The Fiery Sky Hou on Zong Ze’s shoulder jumped into the air, and hard golden hair grew all over its body.
The moment the hard golden hair grew out, they were immediately set on fire with eight different colored flames.
The Fiery Sky Hou swallowed all these eight colored flames, which combined and turned transparent.
The Fiery Sky Hou opened its mouth, and twin-colored flames shot out toward Lin Yuan.
At that moment, someone below the stage yelled, “Wow! It’s eight different high-class strange flames! Not even Suzerain feys can sustain the damage from eight high-class strange flames!”
As Zong Ze’s opponent, Lin Yuan had immediately understood what the eight flames were.
Now that he was faced with such an attack, Lin Yuan decided to test the Ethereal Jellyfish’s Spatial Shift.
He did not summon the Ethereal Jellyfish because its moist body would definitely dry up due to the high temperature on the Martial Stage. Thus, Lin Yuan used his own body to release Spatial Shift.
However, the Ethereal Jellyfish was only Diamond X/Legend and had yet to evolve to Fantasy Breed.
The greatest power it wielded would be that of a Platinum X/Fantasy I fey.
Although Spatial Shift could provide a strong defense against elemental damage by moving the elemental energy in a set area to another dimension, the amount of elemental energy it could shift was limited. The set area would be broken if there was too much elemental energy.
Hence, Lin Yuan was not using Spatial Shift once. Instead, he used it 50 times against the Fiery Sky Hou’s rampaging combined attack of eight strange flames.
Besides, Lin Yuan was using the Spirit Qi Imprint and had an endless well of spiritual power.
Lin Yuan was now being utterly wilful because of all the spirit qi he had.
The crowd watched as the two strange flame attacks shot toward Lin Yuan and vanished.
