So Much Energy Had to Be Put to Use

Using the aura of the Plane Embryo and the Black-robed Dou Emperor to suppress the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Xiao Yan then took control of the Nightmare Heavenly Mist, broke free from the Illusion Realm, trapped the Nether Flame Demon's Intelligence, and then released Xiao Xuan's Projection.

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yan with great curiosity, but the important matter at hand was more pressing. Therefore, Xiao Xuan did not ask any questions and immediately began to form complex hand seals. Countless fire lines then spread out and formed a large array.

There was no palace in this space of the Illusion Realm; there was only endless lava and a dozen or so figures.

Among these figures was the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, dressed in white robes; another was Xiao Chen, who retained some of his consciousness; and the rest were Flame Slave who had completely lost themselves.

Xiao Xuan separated the numerous Flame Slave, trapped the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in the center of the great formation, and began to extract its Demon Flame Origin.

As for Xiao Yan, he flashed and, after a moment's observation, found Xiao Chen, who had the Xiao Clan Mark on his forehead and whose strength was Four-star Dou Sheng.

With a light touch of his index finger on Xiao Chen's brow, the Emperor Flame surged into his body, beginning to devour the Milky White Flame within him.

The Emperor Flame was already of a higher quality than the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, so devouring some Subordinate Flame that did not contain the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Origin was naturally a simple matter.

A few breaths later, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame within Xiao Chen's body was completely consumed. His numb eyes suddenly opened, and a Blood-colored Axe appeared in his hand, ready to strike down on Xiao Yan.

"People of the Xiao Clan?"

A hoarse voice rang out, and the Blood-colored Axe froze in mid-air. Xiao Chen looked at the Clan Mark on Xiao Yan's forehead and then sensed that familiar aura. He turned to look at Xiao Xuan, who was busy suppressing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

"Cousin Xiao Xuan ..."

"A lot has happened recently, I'll tell you later," Xiao Xuan replied hastily without reminiscing.

As the fire lines began to capture the essence of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, its devastating purifying power began to manifest. Countless fire lines were purified into nothingness the moment they came into contact with the Demon Flame Origin, rendering them unable to operate further.

After trying two or three times, Xiao Xuan changed his hand Seal Technique, no longer confronting the source head-on, and tried to extract the Nether Flame Demon's Intelligence.

However, the result was still not ideal. The Nether Flame Demon's Intelligence was firmly integrated with the source of the flame. To extract the intelligence, one would also need to come into contact with the Demon Flame Origin.

Furthermore, due to the frequent anomalies in its origin, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame showed a faint tendency to break free from the Illusion Realm.

"The Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations: The Yin Yang Transformation!"

Black and White Flame surged forth, and Xiao Xuan's strength increased once again. In a flash, he appeared on the face of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, his hands transforming into claws, and directly pierced into the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's body.

Endless streams of fire surged into the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame through Xiao Xuan's hands. Xiao Xuan gripped a lotus-shaped flame tightly with both hands, while the endless streams of fire pierced into it, suppressing its spiritual intelligence and separating it from the Demon Flame Origin.

Just then, the strange movement from the source finally awakened the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and its tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

"You... Pfft!"

Before the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could say anything, Xiao Xuan bent down and rammed into it, instantly breaking the long stalemate. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was forced back dozens of feet, and a white lotus flower covered with pink veins was pulled out by Xiao Xuan.

Having lost its origin, the Nether Flame Demon's Intelligence, like that of the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb, weakened to the extreme in an instant, unable to even make any movements, and once again sank into the Nightmare Heavenly Mist.

Those ten Dou Sheng- level Flame Slave also changed hands, and Xiao Yan used his Emperor Flame to cleanse them, devouring the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame within them.

Xiao Xuan was slightly out of breath. The power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was truly beyond his expectations. The power of this projection was almost exhausted, and his hands were also burned beyond recognition by the terrifying source.

"Can you refine this Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?" Xiao Xuan couldn't help but feel concerned. The Xiao Clan only had this one heir left, and he was the only heir with the potential to become Dou Emperor. He couldn't afford to have any problems with him.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and formed a hand seal. Instantly, a rumbling sound echoed in the space, and a massive Fire Array, tens of thousands of feet in size, slowly emerged from the void.

As the Heaven Array appeared, the boundless Magma Sea also began to churn, eventually giving rise to a Fire Array spanning tens of thousands of feet.

As soon as the Heaven and Earth Array appeared, the temperature in the entire space rose sharply, and even Xiao Xuan couldn't help but shiver.

If Xiao Yan hadn't trapped the consciousness of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had hidden inside the great formation, it would have been really difficult for him to control it.

Xiao Yan did not stop moving. He changed the hand Seal Technique, and the Heaven and Earth Array trembled with Xiao Yan movements, shooting out strands of milky white energy that vaguely formed a furnace about ten feet in size.

"Teacher, throw the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame in!"

A lotus flower with pink veins fell into it, and the fist-sized Purifying Lotus Demon Flame seemed insignificant in this furnace, which was about ten feet in size, but its energy instantly filled the furnace.

"It's done, teacher. You can take Uncle-Master Xiao Chen and leave now! I need to seal off the Demon Flame Space." Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Xuan ultimately chose to trust Xiao Yan and led Xiao Chen away through the spatial passage, returning to the Heavenly Tomb.

As for Xiao Yan, he mobilized the power of the Heaven and Earth Array to completely lock down this Demon Flame Space, leaving no way to open it.

Then, Xiao Yan mobilized the power of the Heaven Refining Ancient Array to seal the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's spirit, which was trapped in the Nightmare Heavenly Mist, with three layers on the left and three layers on the right.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and stepped into the cauldron that was already filled with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

However, as soon as he stepped in, a dense, Milky White Flame instantly surged into Xiao Yan's body. The Nether Flame Demon's Intelligence had been stripped away, but its instinct as a Heavenly Flames still reacted to the Emperor Flame.

Xiao Yan offered no resistance. The Emperor Flame formed layers of purple flame barriers within his body, allowing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to surge into him.

This furnace was also created by Xiao Yan during his Enlightenment Beneath the Bodhi Tree. It can be used to trap and kill enemies, and to train one's body.

The furnace and cauldron can be considered an alternate dimension, similar to the vibrant Small Space of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and also sharing a similar concept with the Heavenly Phoenix Shocking World Soul.

In Xiao Yan's vision, the power of the furnace cauldron needs to be used to devour the heavens and earth and isolate space through the Nihility Devouring Flame, while the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is tempered within the furnace cauldron.

However, Xiao Yan is still a long way from refining the Nihility Devouring Flame. Using the power accumulated over ten thousand years by the Heaven and Earth Array to maintain the furnace is sufficient.

A series of Dragon's Roar and Phoenix's Cry cries resounded from Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan, and streams of milky white flames surged into his meridians through his pores, only to be devoured by the purple flames.

The purifying power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame permeated every corner of Xiao Yan's body, removing all impurities and refining his physical form like a medicinal refining process.

Under the tempering of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which is unique in the world, Xiao Yan's mind was immersed in the Emperor Flame, and his soul and body began a new round of transformation.
