Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 577: The Treasure Is Meant for Me!

The surrounding Grandmasters were stunned. What nonsense was this kid spouting? Did he really think he was the chosen one? How could the treasure be destined for him? What a joke.

They rolled their eyes, and three of them turned to leave. They simply didn’t believe Lin Xuan could obtain the treasure, thinking it was impossible for him to open the Thunderfire Barrier.

One person, however, did not leave. He was an eight-star Grandmaster from the Nine Nether Pill Alliance named Nether Grandmaster. He stayed behind, ready to watch Lin Xuan make a fool of himself. Lin Xuan had previously defeated the Nine Nether Pill Alliance, and he had harbored a grudge ever since. He couldn’t be happier to now witness Lin Xuan’s public humiliation with his own eyes.

Lin Xuan walked forward until he reached the Thunderfire Barrier. He waved his hand and said, "Open."

The Nether Grandmaster almost laughed himself into a frenzy. "Who do you think you are, the reincarnation of the Dragon God? Do you think it will open just because you say so? What a joke!"

He burst into laughter, but the Thunderfire Barrier before him suddenly roared and split open, revealing a huge passage. Lin Xuan walked right in.

The Nether Grandmaster’s laughter came to an abrupt halt, his face a mask of astonishment. His eyes were wide with shock and disbelief. What just happened? The Thunderfire Barrier actually opened? This kid opened it with a mere wave of his hand? Impossible! He felt like he was going crazy. The four of them, all powerful eight-star Grandmasters, had attacked it for five days straight without success. Yet, this kid came along and opened it with a single word. It was unbelievable.

Could it be that this kid really is the reincarnation of the Dragon God? The thought alone almost frightened the Nether Grandmaster out of his wits. But he quickly shook his head frantically. Impossible. This kid can’t be the reincarnation of the Dragon God. He must just be very lucky. But so what?

The Nether Grandmaster snorted coldly. "Kid, your luck has run out. Get lost. The treasure here is mine."

With that, he charged forward into the barrier, speeding past Lin Xuan to block his path. He spoke with a chilling tone, "Kid, get lost now, and I’ll spare your life. If you dare contend with me for the treasure, I’ll have you reduced to dust and ashes."

As he finished speaking, he stepped forward, and his power erupted from his body. A surge of black flames swept across the area, coalescing into what looked like a massive Black Fire Python coiling in the air. Its icy gaze locked onto Lin Xuan, as if it would obliterate him should he dare utter a single word of defiance.

「Outside.」

The people outside saw this scene as well. They stared at the projections on the Treasure Tower, exclaiming, "What’s going on? It looks like someone stopped Lin Xuan!"

"They must be fighting over a treasure."

"Several Grandmasters were lingering there for a long time. There must be some kind of treasure."

The crowd buzzed with discussion. Someone asked, "I wonder who it is that stopped Lin Xuan?"

"It’s the Nether Grandmaster!" someone from the Nine Nether Pill Alliance exclaimed. "Judging by that aura, it’s our Nine Nether Pill Alliance’s Nether Grandmaster!"

Hearing this, You Ruo was so excited she almost jumped for joy. She laughed loudly. "The Nether Grandmaster is a late-stage eight-star Grandmaster! That kid dares to challenge him? He’s doomed! He’ll be slapped to death!" she roared with excitement. "Hmph, what an arrogant brat who doesn’t know his own limits. Trying to compete with the Nether Grandmaster for a treasure? Is he even worthy?"

Having been twice humiliated by Lin Xuan, she was filled with pent-up frustration. Now, she could finally vent all the anger in her heart. You Ruo then turned to Fairy Wan Er and sneered, "Didn’t you say that kid could create miracles? I want to see how he creates a miracle this time."

Fairy Wan Er’s brow furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with worry. Young Master Lin, please don’t confront the Nether Grandmaster. Hurry up and leave, you’re no match for him.

The others in the crowd were also in heated debate. "This kid probably got to the third level relying on his Anomalous Fire," one person said. "His combat power is surely lacking. He’s definitely not a match for the Nether Grandmaster."

"Isn’t that obvious? The Nether Grandmaster is a late-stage eight-star Grandmaster. His strength is terrifying."

"In front of the Nether Grandmaster, that kid is just a tiny ant."

"The Nether Grandmaster could crush him with a single finger."

"As long as he isn’t a complete idiot, he’ll definitely turn around and leave."

Huo Yuner thought the same. Although she knew Lin Xuan was formidable, an invincible seven-star Grandmaster, he was still worlds apart from a late-stage eight-star. They weren’t in the same league at all. Lin Xuan wouldn’t dare to make a move.

「Inside the Treasure Tower.」

Lin Xuan stared at the Nether Grandmaster before him and said coldly, "You think you can threaten me? Ridiculous. Get lost now, or I will have you reduced to dust and ashes."

Lin Xuan was now invincible among eight-star Grandmasters. A mere late-stage practitioner didn’t even register in his eyes.

"What did you say?" The Nether Grandmaster’s face darkened, his eyes blazing as he glared at Lin Xuan. "Kid, don’t think you can act all high and mighty just because you made it here. You only got this far by using your Anomalous Fire to block the flames inside this Treasure Tower. Otherwise, with your own strength, what right would you have to be here? The Anomalous Fire might block flames, but it can’t block my attacks. I’m giving you one last chance. Get lost, or don’t blame me for what comes next."

Lin Xuan just sneered, completely ignoring the Nether Grandmaster as he began to walk forward again.

"You’re seeking death!" The Nether Grandmaster was utterly infuriated. The boy dared to ignore him? He was truly courting death. He no longer intended to hold back. With a wave of his arm, the Black Fire Python beside him roared and lunged at Lin Xuan.

The Black Fire Python appeared before Lin Xuan in an instant, its jaws snapping shut viciously.

"Kid, let’s see how you handle this," the Nether Grandmaster sneered again and again. In his eyes, Lin Xuan was already a dead man.

Lin Xuan felt the approaching Black Fire Python. His expression grew cold as he reached out with his palm, aiming to grab the python. His hand moved to instantly envelop the beast.

"What an idiot, trying to fight it with his bare hands! He’s utterly beyond saving!" the Nether Grandmaster sneered. If his opponent had used the Anomalous Fire, he might have had a chance to escape. But since he didn’t, he was doomed. How could his mere physique possibly withstand his Black Fire Python?

The next moment, the Black Fire Python and Lin Xuan’s palm collided. A loud BOOM echoed as the Black Fire Python was instantly shattered, disintegrating into countless sparks of fire that scattered in all directions.

"What? How is this possible?" the Nether Grandmaster exclaimed, looking as though he had seen a ghost. Shattering the Black Fire Python with his bare hands? What a joke! How could a mere two-star Grandmaster possess such power? What kind of physique was this? It was too heaven-defying!

As he was reeling from the shock, Lin Xuan struck again with another palm. This palm strike was like a Dragon Claw, reaching for the Nether Grandmaster.

"Oh no!" The Nether Grandmaster’s pupils shrank. The hair all over his body stood on end as he sensed a deadly crisis. He dodged with blinding speed, retreating like a phantom to evade the attack.

The Nether Grandmaster quietly sighed in relief, having finally dodged the attack. If I get hit by that, I’ll be severely injured, if not dead!

Just as he had that thought, his expression changed drastically. Lin Xuan’s Dragon Claw suddenly expanded, growing so large that it seemed to become the very sky itself, blanketing everything. In an instant, it had completely enveloped the Nether Grandmaster.

"Damn it! What kind of Palm Technique is this? How can it be so heaven-defying?" the Nether Grandmaster screamed.

"This palm is known as the Cyan Dragon Crushing Heaven Palm!" Lin Xuan’s icy voice resounded.

Then, the Dragon Palm closed completely, swallowing the Nether Grandmaster whole. When the Dragon Claw opened again, the Nether Grandmaster was gone. All that remained was a lingering mist of blood.

「Outside.」

When the crowd saw Lin Xuan and the Nether Grandmaster start to fight, they erupted in an uproar.

"That kid is crazy! He actually dared to fight back!"

"Does he not want to live anymore?"

"Truly foolish!"
