You Fight Yourselves
In the secluded Demon Flame Space, the massive Heaven Refining Ancient Array, tens of thousands of feet in size, continuously released the energy it had accumulated over tens of thousands of years, forming a furnace about ten feet in diameter.
The furnace was filled with thick, Milky White Flame, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the flames were somewhat distorted, with a faint hint of purple sheen.
Inside this small cauldron, which was only about ten feet in size, a small White Lotus with pink veins was rapidly swimming around a human figure.
The White Lotus was constantly spewing flames, trying both to break through the furnace and to refine the human figure.
However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not destroy the furnace or break free from this space.
As for refining Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan was not even satisfied with the speed at which the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame released its purifying power. Strands of Emperor Flame surged out from his body, constantly devouring the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Power.
At this moment, the furnace was filled with all sorts of terrifying energies: Xiao Yan's Emperor Realm soul power, the energy accumulated over ten thousand years by the Refining Heaven Ancient Array, and the power of two strange fires, the Emperor Fire and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which were enough to destroy the world.
These combined forces, centered on Xiao Yan, enveloped a space about ten feet in size, causing time within this Small Space to subtly distort.
As time passed, Xiao Yan's aura grew stronger, and the Subordinate Flame spewed out by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame became less and less effective against him.
Until a certain moment, Xiao Yan was no longer satisfied. As the Emperor Flame surged, it transformed into two large hands and reached out to grab the delicate White Lotus.
White Lotus tried to dodge, but the power in the cauldron was basically under Xiao Yan's control. After struggling for a few breaths, White Lotus was forcibly dragged into Xiao Yan's body.
The power of the Origin Fire Seed was naturally incomparable to that of the Subordinate Flame, but as soon as the White Lotus entered the body, the Emperor Flame, compressed to countless layers, firmly fixed it, dragging the White Lotus along the path of the Flame Mantra Cultivation Technique Route.
The Flame Mantra had already surpassed ordinary Heavenly Grade Cultivation Method; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it Emperor Tier Cultivation Method. It could complete a full cycle of Dou Qi in an instant.
However, the White Lotus was not Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, but the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Origin that had not yet been refined. Under its strong resistance, it took Xiao Yan thousands of heartbeats to forcefully follow the last Cultivation Technique Route of the Burning Flame Mantra.
Xiao Yan coughed up more than a dozen mouthfuls of blood, and several cracks appeared all over his body. He transformed from a flamethrower into a flamethrower, with every pore spewing out purple and white flames powerful enough to make even a low-level Dou Sheng's scalp tingle.
However, Xiao Yan eventually persevered. The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Origin was refined, and Dou Qi and the Soul Imprint were injected into it. What followed was the orderly Exotic Flame Fusion.
Xiao Yan twisted his body, opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing up all the explosive flames that had been spewed out earlier, without wasting a single bit.
The power within the furnace was instantly cleared, leaving only the energy accumulated from the Heaven and Earth Array, which continuously poured into Xiao Yan's body...
The Bodhi Ancient Tree was born only three years after the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame descended into the world.
In these three years, Central Continent has regained its long-lost peace. The conflict between the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan has been largely suppressed, and both sides are waiting for the legendary Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to descend upon the world.
Gu Yuan was filled with worry because the Soul Clan had already collected Fragmented Map; the Hun Tiandi also felt uneasy, worried that Hun Xuzi would not be able to defeat Xiao Yan.
Other Ancient Race also discovered that the Gu Clan Soul Clan treated the unspoken rule that "experts of Five-star Dou Sheng or above should not act arbitrarily" as a joke.
The Ancient Clan Three Immortals and the Hun Clan Two Demon Saints had all been waiting in the northwest of the Central Continent for a long time, at the place where the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had last descended.
Not to mention the various forces in the Central Continent, the two Ancient Race, the Spirit Clan Stone Clan, have consciously withdrawn from the competition for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Only the Yao Clan, the Yan Clan, and the Lei Clan have sent their strong members to band together for mutual support.
As for those Dou Zun who were ignorant of their own limitations and wanted to try their luck, they were ignored by many Dou Sheng — Dou Zun level didn't even have the ability to get close to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
Twin Moons Appear, Nine Stars Unite, the Heaven and Earth Tides, and Demonic Flame Descends!
Above the sky, two crescent moons, one above the other, echo each other; in the starry sky, nine brilliant stars move slowly, eventually merging into a straight line.
A strong energy fluctuation suddenly arose throughout the world, and countless strange mists spread out from the void. Faintly, the sound of waves echoed between heaven and earth.
However, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Pigeon...
The various Dou Sheng who were stationed in the towering mountains were all baffled. At this time last time, the Demon Flame Space would open a passage, and a little residual heat from the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame would seep out from the passage, changing the world and forming a Demonic Flame Plain.
This time, however, there was no movement at all. Not only did the Demonic Flame Descends, but they couldn't even sense any spatial fluctuations.
The Nihility Devouring Flame and Hun Tiandi were huddled in the void, immediately darkened their expressions. The Fragmented Map, when pieced together, did indeed contain the Soul Imprint of the Nether Flame Demon Saint.
However, after the exchange, the Nether Flame Demon Saint felt that the Soul Clan's strength did not require his help, so he told Hun Xuzi: "Send me to see the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame one last time, and I will give you a big gift."
After speaking, the Nether Flame Demon Saint completely ignored the Hun Tiandi and directly transformed into a ball of light, residing in the mind of the Hun Xuzi.
After thinking it over, the Hun Tiandi decided to accept this great gift and did not turn against the Soul Imprint of the Nether Flame Demon Saint.
However, that happened after entering the Demon Flame Space and encountering the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!
They can't even get into the Demon Flame Space now, so what's the point?
Just as the Hun Tiandi's expression was uncertain and the Hun Xuzi was at a loss, Gu Yuan's calm voice rang out from behind the Ancient Clan Three Immortals.
"Something has happened; attack the Soul Clan."
The Ancient Clan Three Immortals exchanged glances, and after that, they all revealed joyful smiles.
Although we don't know why this happened, it's either related to Xiao Yan or the Soul Clan.
If Xiao Yan were to refine the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the Gu Clan would not lose out, and naturally they would have to stop the Soul Clan from interfering with Xiao Yan.
If it's the Soul Clan's method, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame will at least distract them. It would be best if it could interfere, but if it can't, taking advantage of their vulnerability to kill a few more Soul Clan Dou Sheng would also be a good thing.
Aren't there still two of the Soul Clan Four Demon Saints left?
"Boom!"
A loud explosion suddenly rang out in the mountains as the Ancient Clan Three Immortals unleashed three Great Annihilation Finger aimed at the location of the Hun Clan Two Demon Saints.
The terrifying aura of annihilation instantly alarmed all the Dou Sheng present. A massive Black Mist erupted from the remaining two Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, colliding with the three giant fingers.
"The strength of our Ancient Clan Three Immortals has never been inferior to that of your Soul Clan Four Demon Saints. The only difference is that we are one less in number. Now, it's the other way around. It's our Three Immortals to fight against your two Demon Saints!"
An elderly man with white hair and beard let out a hearty shout, and the battle between the five people instantly began.
