I Am the Flame Emperor; Those Who Oppose Me Will Lose Sleep Tonight!
For Qin Tian, the best place to go was the Northern Desolation Hill the Heavenly Evil God was sealed.
Having experienced this siege, Qin Tian will understand that no force in the Great Thousand World can protect itself. Only the Northern Desolation Hill, which retains the seal of the Immortal Great Emperor and is inaccessible to the Outer Realm Evil Clan, can be considered a "safe zone".
Qin Tian himself also possesses the secret to breaking the seal, at which point the Heavenly Evil God's escape will be a natural outcome.
Therefore, even though Xiao Yan arrogantly broke away from the protection of the seven people, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor still did not make a move.
Xiao Yan looked the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor up and down. This guy was incredibly strong. If the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor hadn't belonged to the Outer Realm Evil Clan, he would probably have already been listed on the Sky Ranking and surpassed the Heavenly Sovereign.
Unfortunately, the Outer Realm Evil Clan was stubborn and insisted on using Demonic Qi to transform the Great Thousand World; otherwise, the Great Thousand World would have lost everything long ago.
"Your Origin Fire Seed is very strong. If it were to merge with my Di Yan, I'm afraid I could directly break through to the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign," Xiao Yan suddenly said.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's smile faltered slightly, then he laughed even more heartily, "Interesting. Ordinary people avoid Demonic Qi like the plague, yet you actually want to actively refine my fire?"
A burst of laughter erupted, and the other Heavenly Demon Emperor were amused by Xiao Yan. Even they dared not say they could refine the flames of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, let alone this mere Immortal Grade... Saint Grade?
Astonished gazes were fixed on Xiao Yan, whose aura had somehow risen from the peak of the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign to the Late-Stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was like a volcano that had been suppressed to the extreme, with some heat rising from his body and an internal temperature that was terrifyingly high, ready to erupt at any moment.
"To forcibly increase strength by piling up raging flames? It harms oneself before harming others. Such a Secret Technique is truly inferior." The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor suppressed his inner surprise and calmly belittled it.
Of course, in reality, even a peak Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign can only rival an early-stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign with all their might. To achieve such a surge in combat power, even if it causes significant damage to the body, is negligible.
Faced with the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's belittling, Xiao Yan's expression remained calm. He glanced at the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor with a slightly indifferent look, and then slowly closed his eyes.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor frowned, sensing a hint of disdain, as if the other party had never taken him seriously from the beginning.
Flames of various colors and properties surged from Xiao Yan's body, stubbornly clinging to the flowers, trees, space, and even time of the Myriad Monster Continent. At this moment, the entire Myriad Monster Continent seemed to coalesce into a single entity, and even the overwhelming Demonic Qi could not penetrate it.
Even the Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Heart Demon Clan, who had been hiding in the shadows, was forced out by this Endless Fire Domain and could no longer conceal his presence.
"There is also a Heavenly Demon Emperor..."
Qin Tian and his companions looked even more grim, while the nine Heavenly Demon Emperor looked even uglier.
"Make your move!" The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor felt a sudden unease and immediately shouted an order to interrupt Xiao Yan.
However, at this moment, an extremely dazzling flame burst forth from Xiao Yan's chest. Everyone could feel that Xiao Yan's Spiritual Power, physical body, and even soul were burning at this moment, suddenly bursting out with unparalleled power!
All the Heavenly Sovereign and Demon Emperor on the Myriad Monster Continent were shocked. They vaguely sensed that as Xiao Yan burned himself, the entire world seemed to begin to tremble.
With the blockade of the Myriad Monster Continent forcibly broken, many powerful figures discovered that not only the Myriad Monster Continent, but the spiritual Spiritual Power of the entire Great Thousand World was boiling and turbulent at this moment. A terrifying Spiritual Power so vast that it could not be described in words was converging on the area where the Myriad Monster Continent was located.
The power of that Spiritual Power was so strong that even the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor felt horrified.
"Whoosh!"
Beams of Spiritual Power descended from the sky, piercing through the vast Demonic Qi. The Spiritual Power, which was originally of inferior quality to the Demonic Qi, now overwhelmingly crushed the Demonic Qi here.
However, after only a few breaths, the overwhelming Demonic Qi that blotted out the sky thinned to almost completely dissipate, no longer able to seal off the Myriad Monster Continent, allowing the bright sunlight to once again cover the earth.
Upon closer inspection, those beams of Spiritual Power were completely different from ordinary Spiritual Power. They contained an extremely terrifying power, achieving a qualitative leap.
That power was vast and boundless, possessing immense pressure, much like the might of the world.
That is precisely why the Demonic Qi was at a disadvantage!
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor stared at the all-pervasive Spiritual Power of heaven and earth with a gloomy expression. He seemed to have returned to the moment when he first entered the Great Thousand World, when his strength was suppressed by Great Thousand World's World Will.
Of course, Qin Tian and the others were also suppressed; those who lacked strength were also unable to withstand the immense power of heaven and earth descending upon them.
Furthermore, no one here could stop him; they could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yan took action—any attempt to do so would inevitably be completely obliterated by the World Will the entire Great Thousand World.
The spiritual light, like hanging clouds, poured down from the sky, gradually gathering together and finally forming an endless curtain of Spiritual Power that hung in mid-air.
What is that?
Unlike the Outer Realm Evil Clan who had clear objectives, Qin Tian and the others were not even very clear about the nature of this thing. Only the Lord of Immortality showed excitement in his eyes.
The light curtain gave people a hazy and mysterious feeling, as if it were engraved with countless mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars, just like a real world.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, put his hands behind his back, gazed at the mysterious light screen that had descended from the sky, and said calmly:
"I thought you attacked me because you realized I could connect with the Great Thousand World's World Will, but I didn't expect you to be so surprised?"
"You're nothing more than an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign Rank..."
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's face was contorted in pain. Xiao Yan's previous cultivation level was no longer important. Even if he was now relying on his life to attract the Sky Ranking, as long as Xiao Yan could leave his name on that light screen, his realm would directly break through and surpass the Heavenly Sovereign Realm!
At that time, Xiao Yan will be able to suppress the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor without using Secret Technique to enhance his combat power!
"The first person in the Great Thousand World to sense the World Will was the Immortal Great Emperor." The Lord of Immortality gazed at the mysterious, sky-covering light barrier, his words brimming with excitement. "The Immortal Great Emperor named the World Will the Sky Ranking!"
The Sky Ranking was hazy and mysterious, making it difficult to fathom. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that in a certain spot on the Sky Ranking, spiritual light condensed and formed an ancient character.
"Leaf!"
"Ye... is the surname of the Immortal Great Emperor." The Lord of Immortality took a deep breath, his voice trembling as he said, "If the Flame Emperor can leave his surname on the Sky Ranking today, then he will be the next Immortal Great Emperor!"
Everyone focused their attention on Xiao Yan. Not only on the Myriad Monster Continent, but throughout the entire Great Thousand World, all the powerful beings who had reached the Heavenly Sovereign Realm had noticed the strange changes in the world and turned their attention to the Myriad Monster Continent.
They saw the nine Heavenly Demon Emperors, whose demonic power was overwhelming yet firmly suppressed, as well as many powerful figures renowned throughout the Great Thousand World.
But the most eye-catching figure was the one in the middle of the two sides, surrounded by dazzling flames.
"Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before? Nor have I ever heard of anyone cultivating flames to this level?"
"Is that Qin Tian, Demon Slaying King? The Green Shirt Sword Saint? The Lord of Immortality? Weren't they going to find something that came from Lower Plane?"
"Could that person have just come from Lower Plane?"
Countless questions arose in the minds of the many Heavenly Sovereign, but the next moment, an utterly absurd scene unfolded before their eyes—
After shocking the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, Xiao Yan once again shocked the entire Great Thousand World. The Endless Fire Domain instantly dissipated, all the flames around him subsided, a bunch of wings popped out from his back, and he disappeared into the void, running out of the Myriad Monster Continent in an instant.
His fluid movements were clearly the result of countless mental rehearsals.
Without its rightful owner, the Sky Ranking, which had just been lowered, trembled slightly before slowly dissipating into the world. The other Heavenly Sovereign could no longer see the scene of the Myriad Monster Continent.
"Stop them!"
Xiao Yan ran away without a word. An unnamed rage surged from the heart of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor. He no longer cared about killing these Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign. At this moment, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's only goal was to eliminate Xiao Yan.
The plan to release the Heavenly Evil God can wait; this shameless Xiao Yan must die!
Such an enemy allowed him to grow stronger, Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor couldn't sleep at night!
Eight towering Demonic Shadow blocked the path of the seven Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign to support Xiao Yan, but they were not worried that Xiao Yan could escape—they had great faith in the strength of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.
But the Demonic Qi that had sealed off the space had completely dissipated under the impact of the Sky Ranking, so how could they possibly stop the seven people from... escaping?
The eight Demonic Shadow figures looked at each other, not understanding what was going on with these seven Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
This place has already been exposed to the eyes of countless Heavenly Sovereign. The Heavenly Demon Emperor could not stay any longer. The seven Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign were determined to escape, and the eight Heavenly Demon Emperors could not achieve any results in a short time. They could only chase after them for a distance, and after confirming that they would not return to provide support, they left.
At this moment, the seven Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign all had rather complicated feelings.
I thought Flame Emperor was going to sacrifice himself to cover the retreat, and I was filled with awe; then Flame Emperor summoned the Sky Ranking and spoke with great passion; but Flame Emperor simply ran away. I felt as if there was a lump in my throat, unable to go up or down, and I felt very uncomfortable.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor had clearly lost his mind and was chasing after Xiao Yan. Naturally, they wouldn't miss the opportunity to leave with the embers left behind by Xiao Yan, without any hot blood rushing to their heads to fight to the death with those Heavenly Demon Emperors.
It just feels like something's missing.
"Let's go to the Northern Desolation Hill," the Lord of Immortality said in a muffled voice.
The one who was most excited just now was the Lord of Immortality. Now, the Lord of Immortality's level of discomfort is second only to the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Everyone fell silent and charged toward the Northern Desolation Hill...
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor had to admit that Xiao Yan, that bastard, was damn fast!
If it weren't for the fact that the destructive aura of flames was difficult to conceal and didn't clash with the empty space, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor would probably have lost track of Xiao Yan as soon as he slipped out of the Myriad Monster Continent.
However, even so, it still took the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor several minutes to see Xiao Yan's lightning-fast figure.
"Die!"
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's face was ferocious. With a wave of his sleeve, a terrifying black and white flame transformed into a black and white fire ring that shot out.
With a single sway, the ring of fire crossed the distance between the two and appeared outside Xiao Yan.
As the black and white fire rings spun, they ignited into a raging inferno, engulfing Xiao Yan and leaving him powerless to escape.
Feeling the terrifying temperature of the Saint Demon Flame, Xiao Yan immediately understood the difference between the two.
"Break!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. His physical body suddenly expanded, bursting forth with endless flames in an instant. He actually self-destructed his physical body!
The rampaging Di Yan instantly broke through the black and white fire rings and spread out, instantly enveloping the pursuing Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.
"Universe and space are the furnace, time and space are the fire, forge me!"
A Small World composed entirely of flames appeared in the void, using the flames from Xiao Yan's self-destruction as raw materials. This time Endless Fire Domain formed was unprecedentedly powerful.
The endless flames sealed off the space in which the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor could move, and Xiao Yan's soul merged into the entire Endless Fire Domain.
Strands of the Power of Time slowly appeared around the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor. The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor felt that everything in sight was blurry, and only that burning sensation enveloped him.
"Abandon your physical body and merge your soul into the world. Before the world breaks through, it cannot harm you. If it cannot harm you, you can control the entire world. Once you are enveloped by this world, unless you exhaust the power of the entire world, you can only refine it alive."
"If we were at the same level, I would probably be defeated today. But you are just relying on Secret Technique to forcibly enhance your strength. Do you think you can refine me?"
Faced with the oppression of a Small World, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor remained indifferent, though black and white flames burned within his pupils.
"Saint Demon Flame Armor!"
With a cold shout, raging flames rose from his body, finally solidifying on his body surface, transforming into a ferocious black and white armor of flames, exuding overwhelming ferocity.
As soon as the Flame Armor took shape, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor felt that the world before him became much clearer, as if the flames that originally affected time had been weakened considerably.
"Your strength is a fatal flaw. It would be my honor to kill a genius like you."
The overwhelming Demonic Qi erupted forth, colliding violently with the various flames enveloping the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, causing the entire world to tremble.
Wisps of flame appeared out of thin air within the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's body. There were invisible and colorless Twisted Flame, Milky White Flame that could purify Demonic Qi, and dark red flames that emitted a strong bloody stench and whose blood spontaneously combusted.
But no matter what kind of flame it was, it lost its original function under the seemingly endless Demonic Qi suppressed by the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.
From beginning to end, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor was using his black and white Saint Demon Flame to assault this world of fire.
After hundreds of collisions, dark cracks appeared around the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, and streams of black flames burst forth, radiating Devouring Power that directly began to devour the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's Saint Demon Flame!
"Have we reached a dead end...?"
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor revealed a ferocious smile, showing no fear whatsoever, and even actively fed the Saint Demon Flame to these black flames!
