Battle the Demon Flame

Ever since the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was given sentience by the Nether Flame Demon Saint, it has been thinking about how to break free from the Nether Flame Demon Saint's control and gain freedom.

Therefore, after the Nether Flame Demon Saint grew old and weak, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame did not hesitate to turn against him.

Although the Nether Flame Demon Saint dead, she has also been sealed away.

Over the past few thousand years, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has seen countless humans who wanted to enslave it again, but it has never seen anyone like Xiao Yan.

It's always been the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame that closes the door to beat the dog, first opening a gap to let people in, then closing the passage to select Flame Slave. How come they encountered such a strange person today?

Could it be that he's mistaking reality for the Illusion Realm?

Before the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could think any further, its power erupted completely, and the overwhelming Milky White Flame covered the entire passage, forming a sea of fire that purified all things.

Even the Space Power controlled by Xiao Yan became sluggish and obscure the moment it came into contact with the Milky White Flame, and was eventually forcibly purified, thus failing to affect the passage.

Of course, the spatial passage was still blocked. If anyone wanted to escape, they would have to force their way through the sea of fire, which was filled with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. They couldn't see the way, and their Soul Power would be Purifying Lotus Demon Flame if it left their body. They couldn't perceive anything ahead and it was impossible for them to find the spatial passage.

The full power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was felt by everyone present.

The energy fluctuations emanating from it clearly reached the Five-star Peak Dou Sheng. With the ferocity of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, it could probably contend with Six-star Dou Sheng.

But that's not all. Behind the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame stood a group of Flame Slave under its control, each of them Dou Sheng Expert.

"Xiao Yan, if you really want to die, we'll leave now!" Soul Hall Master Hun Miesheng, staring at Xiao Yan.

His backup was the Soul Demon Elder, a Six-star Dou Sheng from the Soul Clan. He thought that with the Soul Demon Elder by his side, he could easily defeat the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but seeing Xiao Yan's crazy appearance, Hun Miesheng felt that things were not so sure.

"Tch..." Xiao Yan chuckled as he suppressed the raging Heavenly Flames within his body, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Xiao Yan once again ruthlessly provoked their fragile nerves. "Back then, our Ancestor Xiao Xuan detonated three Heavenly Flame Origin and severely injured the Hun Tiandi. If I detonate three Heavenly Flame Origin, wiping you all out will be no problem."

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's face twitched, and with a wave of its hand, its Flame Slave rushed towards Xiao Yan. As for itself, it had no intention of fighting Xiao Yan personally.

"Everyone, let's join forces!" Hun Miesheng shouted. "Friends who are at least Four-star Dou Sheng, let's work together to deal with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, while those who are weaker can deal with the Flame Slave."

Hun Miesheng didn't say his last words, "Don't let Xiao Yan blow it up," but everyone present understood and rushed forward to fight the many Flame Slave.

Xiao Yan also set his sights on a Three-star Dou Sheng level Flame Slave. After telling Xun'er to be careful, he began to openly slack off.

Standing atop the magma pillar, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame glanced at the six Dou Sheng before it, then at the Flame Slave locked in combat. Noticing that Xiao Yan wasn't making much of a move, it finally felt that things were back under its control.

"Demon Lotus Fire Halberd!" Purifying Lotus Demon Flame uttered softly, raised her palm, and gently grasped the magma. Instantly, the endless magma surged violently, and then a long halberd of pure white flame shot out from it and landed in Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's hand.

With a menacing weapon in hand, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame opened its mouth and spewed out a milky-white wave of fire that stretched for thousands of feet, engulfing not only the Six Four-star Dou Sheng, but also the group entangled with the Flame Slave.

The others retreated hastily, trying to avoid the area covered by the fire wave, and Xiao Yan was no exception.

Upon realizing this, not only the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but also the six Dou Sheng Expert confronting it breathed a sigh of relief.

While the terrifying temperature of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was indeed alarming, the explosion of three Heavenly Flames that were not much weaker than the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was simply chilling.

"Let's attack together!"

Hun Miesheng's eyes flickered slightly, deciding to focus on capturing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame this time. Xiao Yan pretended not to see it. Then, a massive black aura surged out from his body, like rolling dark clouds, and crashed directly into the churning milky white flames.

However, although the two are black and white and look about the same, they are actually worlds apart. The moment they came into contact, the Black Mist summoned by Hun Miesheng dissipated.

In contrast, the milky-white flames, under the control of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, split into six enormous pillars of fire, which fell evenly upon the six Dou Sheng.

Each pillar of fire possessed the same power, causing the six Dou Sheng to become solemn and gather their Dou Qi to unleash their signature Dou Technique in an attempt to counter it.

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of explosions rang out. Yao Wangui of the Yao Clan was unable to completely withstand the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Power. Part of his clothes were burned off, making him look quite disheveled.

He was also the only one among the six Dou Sheng who had been injured.

Clearly, in the first round of combat, the six Dou Sheng, working together, did not gain any advantage against the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Once the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame gained the upper hand, it became relentless, using the seemingly endless magma within its Demon Flame Space and its own incomparably powerful flame source to suppress the six Dou Sheng.

After only a few rounds, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame successfully suppressed the six people, slamming them all into the lava below.

Of course, all six of them held back and didn't go all out. At the very least, Xiao Yan, who was just slacking off, didn't even see a single Heavenly Tier Dou Technique.

It is obvious that these people are not related, but they all have the same goal: to obtain the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. As rivals, each of them is thinking about how to divide the spoils after defeating the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Now that they were suppressed by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the six of them unleashed even more power, intending to suppress the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame first.

Seeing the group whose power had suddenly increased, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was not afraid at all. Instead, it revealed a smile of interest, "Interesting. Now that they are qualified to be my Flame Slave."

Muttering something to himself, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame looked at the man who made him wary, feeling a headache coming on. For the first time Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Heavenly Flames, felt afraid of fire.

"His aura is somewhat familiar, seemingly similar to a Flame Slave left behind a thousand years ago..." The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's eyes flashed, and then it sent out its trump card Flame Slave, who swung an axe at Xiao Yan.

Having accomplished this, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could no longer afford to be distracted and began to concentrate, continuing to fight the six Dou Sheng before her. Every move she made was filled with lava and flames, causing the space itself to distort.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan noticed the Flame Slave who suddenly rushed up. He shook his Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Wing and his figure moved like a ghost, rushing behind the three-star Flame Slave he had chosen, so that the slave could take an axe blow for him.

The blood-red axe came down from above and cleaved straight into the Flame Slave's shoulder, completely ignoring the hardness of the Dou Sheng Expert's body, and chopped off the Flame Slave's arm and shoulder together with one axe blow.

"A member of the Xiao Clan?" Xiao Yan finally had time to examine the newcomer closely and immediately noticed the Xiao Clan Mark on the forehead.

This member of the Xiao Clan was incredibly powerful. The energy fluctuations within his body were on a completely different level from the other Flame Slave. He had already reached the Peak Four-star Dou Sheng and was only one step away from becoming Five-star Dou Sheng.

"What a pity, you've ultimately become Flame Slave of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Let me send you on your way..." Xiao Yan's aura changed, and he directly activated the first transformation of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations with the Heavenly Flames within his body. His aura was forcibly raised from the Early-stage Three-star Dou Sheng to the Late-stage Four-star Dou Sheng, making him similar in strength to this Flame Slave.

"Hmm?" The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, along with the six Dou Sheng, were all keeping an eye on Xiao Yan and noticed this change immediately.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, concentrating all the violent Dou Qi within his body at his throat. His Soul Power also merged into it with a special fluctuation, and finally burst out, forming a sonic phantom that slammed out fiercely.

The axe-wielding Flame Slave was instantly severely injured. His empty eyes became increasingly vacant, and most of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame within his body was scattered. In particular, the Soul Rune in his mind that were driven by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame were also damaged in many places under the attack of the Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury.

The entire Flame Slave seemed to have fallen silent.

The Flame Slave, who had been hit by an axe, lost control and nearly fell into the lava below. Fortunately, Xiao Yan scooped him up and Storage Ring to serve as material for a puppet.

Seeing that the axe-wielding Flame Slave was no longer able to fight, Xiao Yan seemed to have suffered a severe injury, his aura weakened, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, even weaker than the Three-star Dou Sheng he had been at the beginning.

"Hmm!" The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and the six Dou Sheng were relieved and continued their back-and-forth fighting.

"The Xiao Clan... the Dou Di Bloodline..."

Just then, the axe-wielding Flame Slave sensed the aura of Xiao Yan's blood, and his empty eyes seemed to regain some of their luster.

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, pointed his finger, and the Heavenly Flames within his body transformed into a fire snake that shot towards the axe-wielding Flame Slave. With his cooperation, it entered the slave's body, frantically searching for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and expelling and devouring it completely.

"Which member of the Xiao Clan are you, senior?"

Xiao Yan continued working with his hands and tried to further awaken the consciousness of this "ancestor" with his words, his eyes constantly flashing as he looked at the Flame Slave around him.

"I... Xiao Chen ..."

A hoarse voice rang out intermittently; it seemed that this ancestor of Xiao Chen had not spoken for thousands of years and had forgotten how to speak.

"We can discuss the rest outside. Does Senior know how to regain consciousness?" Xiao Yan asked.

As the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame within his body continued to diminish, the clarity in Xiao Chen's eyes increased. However, this state could not be maintained. As soon as the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was free to attack Xiao Chen again, he would lose his mind once more.

"Perhaps... my soul has been tampered with..." Xiao Chen said haltingly, recalling how Xiao Yan had woken him up with a shout.

"Souls?!" This answer was both unexpected and reasonable. Perhaps these Flame Slave were not just used as henchmen, but were also responsible for constantly cultivating to provide high-quality Dou Qi for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

With the ability to purify all things, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can easily refine their Dou Qi and transform it into nutrients needed for growth.

"Don't resist!" Xiao Yan shouted, raising his hand to touch Xiao Chen's forehead.

This time, Xiao Yan did not summon all the Heavenly Flames within his body. Instead, he separated three Heavenly Flames that could affect the soul: the Nine Nether Wind Flame, the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, and the Fallen Heart Flame. He then fused them together and inserted them into Xiao Chen's forehead.

At the same time, the Life Spirit Flame surged in and began to repair Xiao Chen's injured body.

Before long, Xiao Yan discovered the anomaly in Xiao Chen's mind.

There was a strange Seal Technique there, constantly emitting some kind of fluctuation, trying to continue to influence Xiao Xuan's mind.

Under Xiao Yan's control, the Heavenly Flames, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, engulfed the Seal Technique. It was like the sound of wind blowing from the Nine Netherworld Hell, the roar of thunder and wrath, the dragon's might that struck the Dragon Might, and the flames that used the soul as fuel. At the same time, it was fierce towards the Seal Technique, wanting to destroy it completely.

At the same time, Xiao Yan soul spikes at his fingertips. These were his tried-and-tested Soul Attack Secret Art, and their power was considerable with the enhancement of the late-stage Heaven Realm Soul. They continuously pierced the strange Seal Technique.

As Xiao Yan unleashed his full power, Xiao Chen seemed to endure immense pain. However, despite being scorched by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame for a thousand years, he had not completely lost his way. Xiao Chen's will was also incredibly strong. Even though his body trembled constantly from the pain, he never uttered a sound.

Under Xiao Yan's relentless attacks, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was also restrained by the six Dou Sheng and unable to interfere. This strange Seal Technique was eventually damaged and torn apart completely.

"Hoo..." Xiao Chen exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes still showing numbness and desolation, but also a new sense of self.

"Senior, have you broken free from the control of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?" Xiao Yan asked, withdrawing his finger.

Xiao Chen nodded, then shook his head. "Although I managed to break free, my soul was also seriously damaged. If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame attacks me again, I will have a hard time resisting and I will probably become Flame Slave again in an instant."

"It's alright, senior, you don't need to attack the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Just keep an eye on the Soul Clan and start attacking them," Xiao Yan said.

Xiao Chen remained silent, but the idea of beheading the Soul Clan was indeed quite to his liking.

Xiao Yan looked at the remaining Flame Slave again, wondering if they needed to be saved.

"My strength is similar to that of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and I also have the support of a rich Dou Di Bloodline, which is why I haven't completely succumbed. They are probably beyond saving." Xiao Chen noticed what Xiao Yan was thinking and spoke up to stop him.

"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then looked back at the battlefield where the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was.

For some reason, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame seemed to have reached a dead end. Xiao Yan believed that with a five-star weapon against a four-star weapon, plus the Heavenly Flame Origin and the home field advantage, he should be able to easily defeat the opponent.

But the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was different. Every strike was powerful and overwhelming, but it was all bark and no bite. It was blocked by the six Dou Sheng, and even if it had some effect, it could not cause any real damage.

Xiao Yan sensed a conspiracy.
