Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames within a hundred-mile radius began to stir and churn.
The entire island, under the intense heat, instantly turned into magma, engulfing Levi.
Even with Levi’s Red Emperor Dragon Body and its fire element resistance, the scorching heat was almost unbearable.
“So… this is the Dark Tribulation?”
Blood qi surged around him, forging a crimson armor, as the Crimson Dragon Slash rested in his palm, his gaze brimming with fighting intent.
“Just perfect, I wasn’t done having fun. Come on, let me see what kind of tricks you’ve got this time!”
This Dark Tribulation brought Levi a sense of peril far beyond the petty dangers of earlier encounters, even surpassing the threat posed by the appearance of the Red Lotus Dragon just moments ago.
Scarlet eyes stared directly at Levi.
Goosebumps crawled down Levi’s back!
Boom!
A sudden blow sent him hurtling backward across the sea, flying a hundred miles!
Looking down at the gaping hole punched through his chest, Levi’s gaze remained calm.
Standing silently at the spot where he had been moments ago was a fiery figure, its features indistinct but bearing a striking resemblance to Levi.
“This tribulation… is my mirror image?”
Levi reached an understanding.
The figure was composed entirely of fire, without flesh or blood—an incarnation of pure flame.
The hole in Levi’s chest healed instantly; for someone with an Undying Body, it was a mere trivial wound.
Boom!
Levi gripped the Crimson Dragon Slash firmly.
The fiery figure brandished a longsword forged of flames!
The clash of sword light rang out, steel against steel!
“Interesting, this flaming figure seems to have mastered combat techniques as well.”
Levi contemplated, leaping suddenly as the fiery figure struck again!
“Uncontainable Fury!”
The overpowering greatsword cleaved downward!
The fiery figure’s longsword shattered. Its body was sent flying, sliced in two, split down the middle.
In the next moment.
The fiery figure silently snapped its fingers, reforming back to its original state.
Levi’s expression grew somber as he turned his gaze toward the emotionless scarlet eye in the sky. Embedded within the hundred-mile Sea of Fire, it loomed, exuding divine presence.
Levi slashed apart another attacking flame figure, then rocketed upward, unleashing terrifying Sword Qi that transformed into a scarlet beam, piercing through the heavens!
With this strike, he aimed to destroy the eye!
Levi knew that the key to the battle lay here!
The scarlet eye calmly observed Levi’s incoming strike, then released an invisible, blistering wave of heat!
Before the scarlet beam could reach its target, it shattered inch by inch, eventually dissipating into nothingness like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Levi’s expression shifted slightly.
Behind him, the flaming figure struck once more, driving its fiery longsword into Levi’s heart. With a sharp twist, Levi’s body was torn in two!
Amid the blood fog, Levi’s figure reappeared once again.
“This isn’t a solution… If my Death Ember Dragon’s strength runs out, even true immortality won’t save me. This time, the Land of Darkness is playing for real.”
The flaming figure attacked once more, Levi countering with his shark-tooth-shaped sword. Summoning explosive force, his body swelled under the Whale Emperor Power Book!
Boom!
The flaming figure was sent flying.
Instantly flashing behind it, Levi launched a devastating punch!
Fist wind exploded!
The flaming figure disintegrated into scattered flames, crushed under Levi’s overwhelming might.
But it reassembled once again, though Levi could sense its momentum had weakened somewhat.
“It seems its immortality has limits.”
Levi unleashed his full strength. He needed to eliminate this apparent mirror image first.
If the mirror disappeared but the scarlet eye remained unresolved, he would need to devise another strategy.
Outside the battlefield, Hundred Flowers’ eyes remained fixed, unblinking, on the unfolding situation.
