Dragon-Marked War God

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. He held four Heavenly Lightning powers, which were gradually fusing together at this moment. The Death Lightning Lotus grew larger and larger in Fen Gudong’s eyes.

“This is… it’s all Heavenly Lightning! You lunatic, you’re still alive?”

Fen Gudong roared angrily, his face extremely grave. The Death Lightning Lotus in Jiang Chen’s hands had become an extremely terrifying lotus flower that seemed ready to bloom at any moment, and the moment it bloomed would be the moment it exploded.

Fen Gudong had thought Jiang Chen was long dead. That he could keep himself safe in such terrifying Hell Karmic Fire showed that this guy definitely had no shortage of treasures on him. Even the Myriad Qi Cauldron could not necessarily have helped him hold out this long.

“Kid, if you want to die, then come at me. Let me see how much ability a dead man like you still has.”

Fen Gudong said in a deep voice, his eyes like torches. So what if he had that terrifying Heavenly Lightning fusion? He had his own karmic fire origin. Now they would see whether Jiang Chen could withstand it.

“You aren’t qualified to kill me. So what if it’s karmic fire? Do you think I, Jiang Chen, am afraid of you? Today is the day you die.”

Jiang Chen sneered, a cold light in his eyes. With this strike, he meant to kill in one blow. The fusion of four kinds of Heavenly Lightning would surely cut Fen Gudong down.

“Who is he… why does he feel somewhat familiar to me…”

The Hell Karmic Fire looked at Jiang Chen, then glanced dazedly at Red Lotus and said.

“He is my… master. He carries my origin fire in him. Maybe that’s why he feels familiar to you.”

Red Lotus said.

“Is that so? Perhaps…”

The Hell Karmic Fire murmured as he looked at Jiang Chen. By now, Fen Gudong and Jiang Chen were already locked in battle. Jiang Chen showed no fear at all, and the Death Lightning Lotus in his hands poured out at that moment.

“Karmic Fire Burns! Giant Crocodile Swallows the Heavens!”

Fen Gudong refused to be outdone. His attack came like a thunderbolt that moved heaven and earth, his flames like dragons swallowing heaven and earth.

Giant chains of flame and a giant crocodile of flame intertwined and came crushing down, determined to kill Jiang Chen. At this very moment, the Death Lightning Lotus instantly burst into five-colored, dazzling brilliance. Thunder in seven colors, gorgeous without limit, shook the void, its qi soaring to the stars. The thunder churned up wind and clouds until heaven, earth, sun, moon and stars could no longer be seen!

Lightning snakes spread everywhere. The very air seemed to ripple with electric snakes leaping and darting through the void, so bright that no one dared look straight at it.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. This strike was no weaker than the one on the Bamboo Sea Mountains back then, even stronger, because this was a strike from Jiang Chen at his full strength. Thunder swirled around it, like the three thousand halls of the underworld, piercing through the primordial era like a bolt from a clear sky. The origin fire of the Hell Karmic Fire was instantly swallowed whole by the Death Lightning Lotus. It was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, without the slightest hindrance. It even turned Fen Gudong’s face deathly pale and sent him reeling back, gravely wounded and at his last breath.

A thunder dragon devoured the giant crocodile and raged through the eighteenth level of purgatory. Fen Gudong had never imagined Jiang Chen’s strength would be so terrifying. That strike shattered his convictions completely. Under that one strike, he no longer had any strength to fight back. Even pouring out every last bit of karmic fire origin in his body, he could hardly contend with Jiang Chen.

Because his origin power was limited, and a large part of it had already been canceled out in his fight with the Hell Karmic Fire, he could not possibly be Jiang Chen’s match now. His karmic fire origin was nearly exhausted, and Fen Gudong’s strength immediately receded, knocked back to his original form.

“Why, why! I hate this! You bastard, you son of a b*tch! If not for you, I would have devoured the Hell Karmic Fire long ago! I hate this!”

Fen Gudong kept struggling and roaring, his face pale, the divine light in his eyes scattering. He knew the last of his karmic fire origin was about to vanish. When that happened, Jiang Chen would not even need to make a move. He would be completely devoured by the Hell Karmic Fire on the eighteenth level of purgatory and vanish like smoke.

“You aren’t qualified to possess the karmic fire at all. It was nothing but a fool’s dream. A mere Ghost Pill Sect, and you really thought you were invincible under heaven?”

Jiang Chen sneered. At this moment, the last of the karmic fire origin in Fen Gudong’s body vanished completely. His roaring figure dissipated in the eighteenth level of purgatory, burned by the karmic fire until he was utterly reduced to ash.

“He’s finally dead.”

Red Lotus let out a long breath. But when she turned around, the flame dragon conjured by the Hell Karmic Fire beside her was slowly dissipating at that moment too.

“This is only a phantom I conjured. I am trapped deeper under the earth, and no one can rescue me. Child, go quickly. Otherwise, once you set off this formation from the primordial era, you won’t escape disaster either.”

The flame dragon said with its head raised. Its dragon eyes shimmered with tears. Jiang Chen was also somewhat moved, and tears glistened in Red Lotus’s eyes.

“No, Father, no—”

Red Lotus reached out and grabbed, but the flame dragon’s image had already dissipated.

“Kid, take good care of my child, take good care of her… Don’t come to save me, absolutely not!”

The moment the voice of the Hell Karmic Fire vanished, Red Lotus collapsed completely, as if her soul had been taken, lost and forlorn, her eyes blank.

“Red Lotus!”

Jiang Chen caught Red Lotus, but his heart stirred slightly. The Hell Karmic Fire must have been sealed here by some great power of the primordial era, with no way out. Even he could not see the slightest clue in this ancient formation.

“Your father shouldn’t die. He’s only sealed here. We’ll find a way to get him out.”

Jiang Chen knew that at this moment her father had returned to where he was sealed beneath the earth. If he had not been sealed, he would never have fallen so low as to be bullied like this. Back then, her father must have been an unrivaled figure. How could he have been controlled by someone like Fen Gudong?

But now things were no longer what they had been. The restriction formation from the primordial era still existed and could still trap the Hell Karmic Fire. Jiang Chen knew that with their strength, the chance of rescuing her father was slim to none.

“I know you’re very sad. You and your father had only just been reunited, and you were torn apart again. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you rescue your father.”

Jiang Chen held Red Lotus’s hand tightly. Red Lotus’s eyes were blurred with tears, and she threw herself straight into Jiang Chen’s arms, weeping bitterly.

“Jiang Chen, do you think I’ll ever see my father again?”

Red Lotus asked quietly, her heart full of pain and grief.

“You will. I promise you, you definitely will.”

Jiang Chen gently pulled Red Lotus into his embrace. At this moment she was forlorn and heartbroken, just like a child.
