Chapter 2305
The gazes of 108,000 celestial beings were all focused on the white-haired youth standing with his hands behind his back in the distant void, holding their breath and waiting for his decision.
The young man was tall and straight, his black robes fluttering in the wind, and his white hair dancing wildly in the starlight. Although he was alone, he was like a divine mountain that suppressed all ages, exuding a terrifying aura.
"So young... Is this the commander sent by the Heartless Holy Land? He's such a young celestial being?"
"To have the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal at such a young age, the Holy Land's foundation is indeed unfathomable! But can someone this young really command 108,000 Celestial Immortals in a super battle formation?"
"Shh! Quiet! You dare say that so openly? Aren't you afraid of angering the commander?"
"We're doomed... This commander seems young and impetuous, probably a ruthless and cold-blooded character. Once we reach the border, we'll have to be extremely careful, and if things look bad, we'll run for our lives! The disciples of the Holy Land have their treasures and can easily escape, but for us from the Nebula Sect, if we die, we're truly gone!"
"That's right! I never expected the Heartless Holy Land to send such a greenhorn to lead the army. They really don't value our lives!"
……
Although the whispers were low, the 108,000 voices gathered together and transformed into a chaotic sound wave that spread and echoed in the void.
The last fourteen celestial beings to join the ranks, though feeling the sharp, icy gaze from Chen Xuan, still held their heads high, their faces full of disdain.
In their view, they had rushed to the front lines for the sake of the Holy Land of Heartless Love, and the Holy Land should be treated with courtesy. This young upstart would not dare to really lay a hand on them.
However, the next moment, Chen Xuan's voice rang out like shattering ice, sharp and piercing: "Fourteen people have failed to assemble and join the team within three breaths!"
"Burning my body in karmic fire for three days!" With that, Chen Xuan made a hand seal and swept the void.
"You brat, how dare you!" A middle-aged celestial being in purple robes glared angrily, his celestial aura surging. Just as he was about to shout a stern rebuke, a sudden change occurred—scarlet flames, like blood, suddenly ignited around him, engulfing his body and instantly spreading to every part of his body.
Almost at the same time, the other thirteen celestial beings who had delayed joining the ranks were also engulfed in the same scarlet flames.
As soon as the flames appeared, they emitted a terrifying aura that could burn one's soul, causing the celestial beings around them to cry out and retreat in fright.
"It's karmic fire! This is the Red Lotus Karmic Fire!" a knowledgeable old immortal cried out in terror. "Retreat quickly! The Red Lotus Karmic Fire will incinerate anything it touches, it can even burn away the soul!"
Before the words were even finished, nearly a hundred celestial beings were so frightened that they abandoned their formation and transformed into streaks of light, fleeing into the distance, fearing that they would be tainted by the karmic fire.
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, coldly observing the chaotic scene, and once again spoke in a low voice with undeniable authority: "Anyone who leaves the formation without permission will be punished equally!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it again—
wow——
A burst of flames suddenly appeared, and the nearly one hundred celestial beings who had broken away from their formation, regardless of age or gender, were all enveloped in red lotus karmic fire.
Intense pain instantly swept through their bodies, and they let out heart-wrenching screams:
"Ah—Commander, spare us! We know we were wrong!"
"This karmic fire is burning my soul! It hurts so much! I'll never do it again!"
"We beg the commander to withdraw the karmic fire! We are willing to accept punishment!"
……
Such a horrific scene unfolded before their eyes. Even though the remaining celestial beings were pale with fright and trembling, they dared not move an inch as they watched their companions being burned by karmic fire. Everyone was afraid of becoming the next person to be engulfed by karmic fire.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the intensity of the burning of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire was entirely under Chen Xuan's control.
He would not actually burn their souls to ashes, but he would make them suffer extreme pain in order to establish his authority.
Ignoring the wails of the celestial beings scorched by karmic fire, Chen Xuan's gaze, sharp as a blade of killing intent, slowly swept over the remaining 100,000-plus celestial beings.
Wherever he went, all the celestial beings fell silent, lowering their heads and not daring to meet his gaze, for fear of being targeted by him.
