Beat Down

Xiao Yan alone could not completely defeat the Nihility Devouring Flame, because Xiao Yan did not possess the power to completely suppress Nihility Devouring Flame.

However, the success rate of working together with Gu Yuan is also not high, because the Nihility Devouring Flame is really fast and decisive in its escape.

In particular, Gu Yuan's body also contains an aura similar to the Origin Fire Seed of the Nihility Devouring Flame, which will make the Nihility Devouring Flame even more sensitive.

Having made his decision, Xiao Yan no longer concealed his aura and unleashed the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations. The three flames directly propelled Xiao Yan's aura to the late stage of the Eight-star Dou Sheng.

The Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire has evolved to a level comparable to Dou Sheng, and now it has an additional Nine Nether Wind Flame. This time, the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations is even stronger.

"So you're all alone?" The figure of Nihility Devouring Flame slowly emerged from the dark sea of fire, a slight smile playing on his lips as he coldly sneered, "So what if you have Emperor Realm Soul? You think you can fight beyond your level?"

Xiao Yan did not reply, but a thick white mist surged towards the black flames.

The Nihility Devouring Flame glanced at the mist with a mocking look. Countless tiny black specks of light, imperceptible to the naked eye, drifted out from the sea of fire and actively met the Nightmare Heavenly Mist.

The moment the two came into contact, the thick white mist seemed to have been gnawed by something, becoming pitted and riddled with countless empty voids.

Countless tiny Nihility Devouring Flame seeped into the mist and began to devour the Nightmare Heavenly Mist.

However, at that moment, Nihility Devouring Flame's body swayed violently as if he were drunk—he felt his consciousness seem to blur for a moment.

"How is that possible!"

The Nihility Devouring Flame looked horrified. He then noticed an invisible flame, Milky White Flame, suddenly appearing in his body. But before he could react, the two flames combined and exploded!

"Your performance is even inferior to the Hun Tiandi's Split Soul."

With a faint sneer, Xiao Yan's Soul Power surged from between his brows, then condensed into a ten-thousand-foot-long Purple Gold Dragon Phoenix above his head, which opened its huge mouth towards the Nihility Devouring Flame.

"Roar!"

The terrifying sonic wave pressed directly onto the Nihility Devouring Flame, the drifting black light spots instantly shattered, the sea of fire surged with terrifying waves, and even the Nihility Devouring Flame itself staggered and lost its balance.

"Puff!"

The Nihility Devouring Flame opened its mouth and finally expelled the two Heavenly Flames that were causing trouble in its body. But the next moment, the Fallen Heart Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame suddenly reappeared and exploded like maggots clinging to bones.

Without the obstruction of the black specks of light, the white mist, which contained deadly danger, rushed into the sea of fire in an instant.

The Devouring Power of the pitch-black sea of fire was very strong. No matter how much mist there was, it could not get close to the figure of the Nihility Devouring Flame and was directly devoured. However, the power contained within it could not be quickly refined by the Nihility Devouring Flame. Instead, it affected the spirit and devoured Xiao Yan in the Illusion Realm.

Nihility Devouring Flame knew that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame relied on emotions to enter the body, and that without the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Nihility Devouring Flame could suppress the Fallen Heart Flame, but he just couldn't calm down.

Frustration, horror, fear, violence... a barrage of negative emotions surged from the depths of his heart, while two Heavenly Flames followed closely behind, relentlessly invading the Nihility Devouring Flame and exploding within its body.

If the Nihility Devouring Flame's true form weren't Heavenly Flames, and it didn't have any vital organs that humans possess, it would probably be dead by now!

"Roar!"

Another deafening, terrifying roar rang out, and the little strength that Nihility Devouring Flame had just mustered was once again scattered by the roar. Dizzy and disoriented, he almost succumbed to the Illusion Realm.

Nihility Devouring Flame barely managed to raise his eyes to look at Xiao Yan, but all he saw was a patch of colorful three-colored flames. Before he could react to what was happening, a terrifying explosion slammed solidly into his body.

Waves of Devouring Power emerged from the surface of the Nihility Devouring Flame. The Nihility Devouring Flame wanted to devour these flames and attack Xiao Yan in return, but this only made him more seriously injured.

What followed was a relentless barrage of attacks, with the Fallen Heart Flame Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Nightmare Heavenly Mist appearing both real and illusory from within; and the Three-Colored Flames destroying the heavens and the Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury shattering the soul from without.

Just three seconds later, the body of Nihility Devouring Flame exploded, and more than a dozen twisted black heads scattered and fled, completely abandoning the Hun Tiandi's Split Soul.

These heads were incredibly fast; even when Xiao Yan spread his Heavenly Phoenix Wings, he couldn't catch up. He could only use all his abilities to slow them down.

Xiao Yan traversed back and forth in the void, but in the end he only managed to grab two heads. Neither of them possessed the intelligence of the Nihility Devouring Flame; they only contained a portion of its essence.

"With these two primordial energies, breaking through to the Late-stage Seven-star Dou Sheng is basically a sure thing."

Xiao Yan reached out and opened a spatial passage connecting to the Heavenly Tomb, then casually tossed two severed heads into it.

Although the Nihility Devouring Flame has fled, a large amount of flames still remain here, not only the Heavenly Flames that Xiao Yan unleashed, but also a sea of fire left behind by the Nihility Devouring Flame.

Xiao Yan reached out and pressed down, and with a flick of his Emperor Flame, the remaining flames in this void were compressed into a colorful flame pill.

With a swift swallow, the flame pill flowed down Xiao Yan's throat and into his stomach. The surging energy made his face flushed, as if he had consumed a potent tonic rather than a deadly Heavenly Flames.

"Hiccup~"

Xiao Yan let out a satisfied burp, his depleted Dou Qi fully replenished, and his cultivation level also increased slightly.

Breaking through the Demon Flame Space, Xiao Yan flashed into it, and what came into view was a human head hundreds of feet tall, crashing to the ground with a series of loud thuds.

Each impact created violent spatial ripples, and the Demon Flame Space, without the protection of the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, was clearly unable to withstand it any longer.

If Xiao Yan doesn't come, this space will be pierced by the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Soul Heavenly Emperor's Split Soul in a year or two at most.

"Xiao Yan!"

The man suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Xiao Yan, his eyes filled with deep hatred.

"Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations! Nightmare Heavenly Mist! Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury!"

Xiao Yan showed no mercy, launching a three-hit combo right from the start, igniting another fierce battle...

The Hun Tiandi's Split Soul persisted longer than the Nihility Devouring Flame, which may also be because it was trapped in the Demon Flame Space with nowhere to escape and could only fight desperately.

After fighting Xiao Yan, or rather, being brutally beaten by Xiao Yan for more than ten minutes, the Soul Heavenly Emperor's Split Soul finally became completely exhausted and powerless to resist.

By the time Xiao Yan sealed the Child Flame of Nihility Devouring Flame, the Demon Flame Space was already in ruins and about to be completely abandoned.

Xiao Yan simply waved his hand, returning the Demon Flame Space to the Dou Qi Continent, and then went back to the Heavenly Tomb.

After handing over the Soul Heavenly Emperor's Split Soul to Ancestor Xiao Xuan for disposal, Xiao Yan, along with the Child Flame of Nihility Devouring Flame and two orbs of primordial energy, began a new round of seclusion...

At this moment in the Soul Realm, the Hun Tiandi and the Nihility Devouring Flame looked at each other in bewilderment.

Hun Tiandi's expression remained unchanged, but upon closer inspection, one could still sense that he was no longer at his peak; while Nihility Devouring Flame's figure was even more illusory, and his aura was unstable, as if his cultivation was about to regress.

"You said that Xiao Yan single-handedly beat you into this state?" The Hun Tiandi's tone was filled with deep weariness.

Before Nihility Devouring Flame could answer, Hun Tiandi spoke again, saying, "That's true. After all, he has Emperor Realm Soul, and his Heavenly Flames has recently been infused with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. It's normal that you can't beat him."

"In that case, let's ask the Yan Clan and the Yao Clan for help! Tell them about Xiao Yan's strength and ask them to help you find some fire-attribute rare and precious materials, as well as high-grade Pills to restore your strength."

After the Hun Tiandi finished speaking, he rolled his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and severed the connection with his split soul.

I just finished my exam this afternoon and quickly finished writing this.
