Rumble …
Flames exploded at the bottom of the swamp and quickly spread to the surroundings. The flames continued to spread from the center and only stopped after four breaths.
In the center of the raging flames, other than Lu An, there was only dust left. Wan He was nowhere to be seen.
Under the burning of the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame, the armor could only block it once, but only once. After the armor was burned, Wan He was directly exposed to the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame. Any energy released would immediately be burned by the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame until his entire body was swallowed.
When his body came into contact with the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame, Wan He did not even have the chance to scream before he disappeared without a trace.
"Phew …"
Seeing Wan He die, Lu An heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, he had used up a lot of energy and only had about 60% left. However, he did not plan to leave. Instead, he continued to set fire to the bottom of the swamp.
If he could make the Guang You Sect feel the pinch, Lu An would not be stingy with his energy.

Time passed slowly. Soon, another half an hour had passed. From the beginning until now, an hour had passed. To be honest, it had been a long time.
Standing in the sky, the level nine heavenly masters were a little confused. Logically speaking, no matter which side won, it should have ended. Could it be that this swamp was really so strange? Or did something unexpected happen in the swamp?
The only one who was not anxious was Su Keming. Compared to the level nine heavenly masters of the Ice Fire Union, Su Keming looked as if victory was already in his hands. In his opinion, the reason why the battle had lasted so long was because Wan He had successfully stalled Lu An and was slowly dragging Lu An to death. Therefore, he was not anxious at all.
The longer the battle went on, the more confident he was.
However, after another quarter of an hour had passed, someone suddenly spoke up.
"Look at the center of the swamp!"
The level nine heavenly masters who were talking were startled when they heard this. They all looked at the center of the swamp. They saw that the center of the swamp was suddenly dyed red and the area was rapidly expanding. This scene shocked all the level nine heavenly masters. They did not know what was going on.
The red light in the center of the swamp was rapidly expanding. When it had expanded to a diameter of more than 25 kilometers, the center of the swamp suddenly shook. Following that, the surface of the swamp exploded and flames shot up into the sky!
Boom!
The monstrous flames directly exploded, shooting thousands of feet into the sky! When the flames appeared, they immediately spread out in all directions, even faster than the speed at which the red light was spreading!
This scene left all the level nine Heavenly Masters dumbfounded!
Was the swamp on fire?!
Everyone's face was filled with doubt, and the only one who was truly shocked was Su Keming. Others might not understand this swamp, but he knew it very well. It was impossible for there to be a fire burning in the swamp. How could this happen?!
However, the truth was right in front of him. Even if he didn't want to believe it, there was nothing he could do to change it. The flames spread rapidly. In just thirty breaths of time, they had spread over a hundred miles. Moreover, they were still spreading outwards. Their momentum did not decrease in the slightest. It was obvious that they wanted to swallow up the entire swamp.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, spreading faster and faster. All the Level Nine Heavenly Masters in the sky released their perception towards the flames. The moment they came into contact with the flames, their perception was immediately burned away, unable to penetrate the flames at all.
What a strong flame!
All the Level Nine Heavenly Masters trembled. Their eyes immediately became extremely serious, and their brows tightened! From the probing and feedback just now, they were completely sure that even they could not resist these flames!
That's right, once they were infected by the flames, they would have to cut off the parts that were infected. Otherwise, they would not be able to extinguish the flames, let alone resist them!
What kind of flame was this?!
For the first time, the Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame was directly exposed to the perception of so many Level Nine Heavenly Masters. It also made all the Level Nine Heavenly Masters realize the true power of the Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame. This kind of power made their scalps tingle, and their hearts filled with fear. One must know that this kind of power was unimaginable in the hands of a Level Nine Heavenly Master, let alone in the hands of a Level Eight Heavenly Master!
In the past, when they heard rumors that Lu An had flames, they did not pay much attention to it. But this time, they directly raised the importance of flames to the highest level!
Boom!
Just as the flames were about to spread to the edge of the swamp, the surface of the swamp at the southern edge — to be precise, the extremely dry soil due to the high temperature — suddenly burst open. A figure rushed out and flew into the sky.
The southern edge was naturally the side closest to the Level Nine Heavenly Masters. It was also the place where the two of them first entered. And the person who came out was none other than Lu An.
He did not leave the northern edge, which meant that he did not care about the result.
Whoosh!
Lu An quickly came to the same height as the many Level Nine Heavenly Masters, but he was very smart. He directly came to the side of the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters in his own camp.
Everyone looked at Lu An, their gazes locked and their brows furrowed. No one said a word, including Su Keming. Lu An looked at Su Keming's trembling facial muscles, but did not care at all. Instead, he cupped his hands and said to all the Level Nine Heavenly Masters present, "I did not find the Fruit of Resentment. I may have lost this battle."
"…"
Hearing Lu An's words, none of the Level Nine Heavenly Masters in the air spoke. After a full two breaths, Su Keming suddenly turned his head to look at Lu An. His face was extremely gloomy. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is Wanheren?"
"Dead." Lu An said casually, "He was burned to death by the fire."
"…"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Lu An mention death so casually. They all turned to look at Su Keming.
Su Keming's face could not be any gloomier, and his whole body was trembling slightly. While they were talking, the flames had successfully reached the edge of the swamp. The fire was so big that it had no intention of stopping. It was actually spreading out.
Outside, it was still a resource territory with many natural treasures and plants.
Su Keming's body trembled. No matter what, he could not let the flames burn the plants outside. He immediately took action. Immediately, countless hard soil and rocks fell from the sky, covering an area of ten thousand feet and completely covering the southern edge!
Rumble!
The hard soil and rocks smashed down, swallowing and suppressing all the flames. Su Keming did not stop. Instead, he moved toward the swamp and used rocks and hard soil to completely cover all the flames. He wanted to suffocate the flames in the soil.
It had to be said that this method was effective.
A Level Nine Heavenly Master's earth attribute power was extremely strong. Even if the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame could burn it, the flame would burn very slowly without the support of energy. Furthermore, the consumption would increase greatly. Su Keming quickly covered all the flames in and out of the swamp with soil. The Nine Heavens Sacred Flame was successfully contained and would gradually disappear in the swamp and soil.
After doing all this, Su Keming took a deep breath … He was not tired, but incomparable heartache!
The swamp was the most important part of the Death-Stopping Wetland. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the core. Destroying the swamp was equivalent to destroying the foundation of the entire wetland. Even if he completely extinguished the flames, the surrounding plants would definitely be fatally affected!
The entire resource territory would be completely destroyed!
Su Keming's ashen face looked as if it was about to explode. He quickly rushed back to the front of the crowd, carrying a powerful anger. Everyone could clearly feel Su Keming's uncontrollable anger. They saw Wang Yangcheng immediately move and come to Lu An's side.
Su Keming rushed to the back of the crowd and suppressed his anger. He angrily shouted at Lu An, "Why did you set the fire?!"
Lu An was slightly startled when he heard this. He asked back, "Sect Leader Su did not say that we were not allowed to use the fire attribute, right?"
"You!" Su Keming gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I asked you why did you set such a big fire?!"
"There's poison in the swamp. I only wanted to cleanse the poison." Lu An said indifferently, "I also did not expect this swamp to be so fragile. It would burn so easily. However, Sect Leader Su personally said that there would be no rules and that we would use unscrupulous means. You wouldn't go back on your words now right?"
"You!" Su Keming gritted his teeth and let out a terrifying sound. Everyone present could hear it clearly. However, with so many people present, if Su Keming were to act rashly, he would be completely disregarding these people and dragging Guang You Sect into the abyss.
However … to be honest, they did not expect that Lu An would actually destroy the entire resource territory … If it were them, they would definitely not be able to bear such a loss.
