Invincible Demon Flame

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan turned his gaze back to the battlefield of the Flame Slave.

Including Xiao Chen, there were a total of eleven Flame Slave. Apart from Xiao Yan's group, the other experts who came with him and were less than Four-star Dou Sheng experts together resisted nine Flame Slave.

Just then, one of the Flame Slave suddenly underwent a strange change. Its previously empty eyes suddenly burst forth with a terrifying light, and the energy within its body also surged violently in an instant.

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, it seemed that the Nether Flame Demon Saint was really unable to hold on and was about to self-destruct his Flame Slave.

Self-destruction is the instantaneous release of all the energy in the body in the most violent way. Generally, a strong person can self-destruct their physical body to create a chance for their soul to escape, but this Flame Slave obviously did not just explode in the slightest, but completely.

Dou Sheng Expert's strength is enough to easily destroy a city as large as Sacred Pill City. If they were to use Heavenly Tier Dou Technique, they could wipe the city out completely, leaving no trace of any buildings or living beings within it.

Self-destruction is even more destructive than Heavenly Tier Dou Technique.

"Could it be that this Purifying Lotus Demon Flame intends to break through the Demon Flame Space by having everyone fight and the Flame Slave self-destruct?"

Xiao Yan was puzzled. The passage had clearly been opened, but the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame couldn't get out. The Six Four-star Dou Sheng fought for a long time, but they couldn't even tear a Space Rift in the Demon Flame Space.

However, no matter what Xiao Yan thought, the Flame Slave's actions did not change. His body expanded at a visible speed, and his aura became more and more violent, leaving no room for maneuver, and he exploded completely.

An energy storm, indescribable in words, spread out in mid-air at an astonishing speed, as if it were about to engulf everything in the Demon Flame Space.

Even the endless magma that served as the background was forcibly torn apart by this terrifying explosion, and the churning waves of magma scattered in all directions, so much so that the rocks at the bottom of the magma were exposed.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the exposed rock, sensing that something was amiss.

With the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Wing, Xiao Yan's speed is even faster than that of the Five-star Peak Dou Sheng Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, making it easy for him to dodge self-destruction, but others have no way to do so.

Some who weren't quick enough to react were only lightly grazed by the violent energy, yet their bodies were in turmoil, blood gushing from their mouths, their skin torn open, and their meridians shattered inch by inch.

The self-destruction of the Flame Slave took everyone by surprise. No one could ignore the power of Dou Sheng Expert's self-destruction. Apart from the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and the six Dou Sheng who continued their back-and-forth battle and were not greatly affected, everyone else used all their strength to retreat desperately.

However, the first Flame Slave's self-destruction was just the beginning.

The frenzied outbreak is far from over.

Except for the Flame Slave that Xiao Yan destroyed, all the Flame Slave had their eyes blazing with intense light, and then they chased after the fleeing crowd with blank expressions.

One after another, the Flame Slave self-destructed, accompanied by earth-shattering explosions. In an instant, more than half of the powerful individuals who had entered the Demon Flame Space were lost.

Those who survived by sheer luck were weak in the knees, dazed, and staring blankly at the crater tens of thousands of feet in size that was slowly recovering on the Magma Sea.

They not only didn't expect the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to have Flame Slave at the Dou Sheng level, but they also didn't expect these Flame Slave to use them for self-destruction.

Of course, not all nine Flame Slave succeeded in self-destructing. Three of them were too rigid and were crushed by the terrifying energy generated by the self-destruction of the other Flame Slave before they could follow suit.

Seemingly sensing that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was nearing its end, Hun Miesheng began to exert himself even more diligently.

Hun Miesheng, his hair disheveled, soared into the sky. He slapped his palm against the void, and a massive black array, tens of thousands of feet in size, appeared directly in mid-air. The center of this array, which had been set up at some unknown time, was precisely locked onto the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

"It's actually the Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Array!"

The members of the other Ancient Race also immediately recognized this impressive formation.

However, although the group recognized the formation and understood its power, they couldn't worry about that at this critical moment. The other five Dou Sheng also generously used their Dou Qi.

Five vast and powerful energy pillars, so immense they made one's heart tremble, surged out from the bodies of the group and directly entered the black array in mid-air.

"Call out!"

Such a vast amount of energy support caused Hun Miesheng to turn pale and unable to hold on for long. He immediately changed his hand seals and guided the great formation.

The black array trembled violently, and then a beam of light, covered with mysterious runes and as black as ink, shot out from the center of the array and slammed into the body of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame at an unstoppable speed.

"Heavenly Net Refining Flame, transforming into the Origin!"

Hun Miesheng looked greedily at the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. The great formation was complete. Next, the powerful Demon Flame Origin of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, as well as the magma that could be controlled at any time, would lose its effect.

All the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could do was rely on its Dou Qi Five-star Peak Dou Sheng Qi to fight and wear down six Four-star Late Stage Dou Sheng.

And the sealing power of this grand formation is clearly effective against the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame...

Seeing that the situation was very favorable, Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at the milky white sea of fire covering the exit. At this moment, the sea of fire began to dissipate and fell into the lava as if it had lost control.

It seems the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame really can't hold on any longer.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, watching the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame struggle desperately under the suppression of the great formation, while using his Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Wing to sense the boundaries of the Demon Flame Space and his Soul Power to perceive its mysteries.

Xiao Yan had already noticed the exposed rocks at the bottom of the magma. At the boundary of the Demon Flame Space, there were faintly mysterious array patterns emitting an almost imperceptible light.

"Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Array, seal!"

After another period of stalemate, Hun Miesheng finally saw the light of success. His face lit up with joy, and he rapidly changed his hand seals, letting out a sharp shout.

The black pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth also shrank rapidly at this shout, instantly transforming into a black cylinder about ten feet thick.

Within that cylinder, a milky-white flame was slowly rising, as if the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had been completely sealed away.

"It's a success!"

Upon seeing this scene, everyone present was overjoyed. After a fierce battle between six Four-star Dou Sheng, and the loss of a large number of Dou Sheng Expert in the self-destruction, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had finally been sealed away.

At that moment, everyone's gaze changed.

They are no longer allies who need to join forces to suppress the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but rivals who want to compete for the Demon Flame Origin.

Hun Miesheng also took the lead without hesitation, grabbing at the sealed Purifying Lotus Demon Flame with one hand.

Xiao Yan calmly watched the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame trying to rush forward. With a thought, he activated the Space Power with the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Wing. Although he couldn't tear the Demon Flame Space apart and connect it to the void or the Dou Qi Continent outside, it was still easy to make an impact within the Demon Flame Space.

Xiao Yan took the rising Milky White Flame directly into his hand and swallowed it without any hesitation. The Heavenly Flames in his body also sensed this violent power and instantly became restless.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

A loud buzzing sound rang out within Xiao Yan's body. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which several Dou Sheng had painstakingly sealed, broke through the seal in an instant, piercing through Xiao Yan's Dou Qi of Dou Qi, and moving away from that Heavenly Flames that even the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame felt a little uneasy about.

"..."

Within the vast Demon Flame Space, there was nothing but silence.

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame seemed unable to comprehend why Three-star Dou Sheng would attempt to refine Heavenly Flames amidst a group of Dou Sheng Expert, especially given that he already possessed an extremely violent Heavenly Flames within his body.

If one is not careful, it could be a terrifying self-destruction far exceeding the explosion of the Flame Slave. Even Six-star Dou Sheng or Seven Star Dou Sheng would find it difficult to survive such a self-destruction.

The others also showed a complex mix of astonishment, shock, and panic. They had all seen Xiao Yan's actions; almost the instant the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame entered his stomach, it burst out again. The seal, which had gathered most of the Dou Qi of Six Four-star Dou Sheng Dou Qi, was as flimsy as paper and failed to provide any resistance.

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame easily broke the seal, and incidentally created a hole in Xiao Yan's body.

Xiao Yan silently used the Life Spirit Flame and the Three Thousand Burning Flame to heal his wounds. Looking at the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which was pretending to be sealed and whose plan had been ruined, he said indifferently, "Actually, you can't get out by yourself no matter what, so you want to use our hands to take you out."

"I guess even if the fight goes to the very end, whoever is lucky enough to win, or who escapes the Demon Flame Space before being killed, will be truly free, right?"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame lowered his eyelids, his handsome face expressionless, but everyone present could feel the terrifying aura rising from his body.

"You can leave with your people..."

After much deliberation, the Nether Flame Demon Saint ultimately couldn't make up his mind to gamble that Xiao Yan wouldn't fight him to the death, and could only compromise.

"I used Secret Technique just now, and although I was injured, the brief boost in strength made me realize something was wrong." Xiao Yan glanced at the two spaces and said calmly, "You probably realized it too, but do you think you can handle it?"

"If you really want to die, I can grant your wish?" The Nether Flame Demon Saint's aura grew stronger and stronger, releasing the Five-star Peak Dou Sheng without reservation, as if he had been playing house with the Six Four-star Dou Sheng for half a day and had not suffered any losses.

In contrast, the Six Four-star Dou Sheng were all exhausted, having used up most of their Dou Qi, and would find it difficult to recover in a short time.

"Sigh..." A soft sigh rang out, and then a Shepherd Boy riding a blue ox walked out of the void. "That one from the Soul Clan, it's no use hiding any longer. The people here can't even restrain the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."

"Pill Tower Ancestor?" Xiao Yan glanced at him, bowed, and then flicked his finger, sending a ball of flame into the Shepherd Boy's hand.

It turned out to be the Fusion Heavenly Flame of three Heavenly Flames that Xiao Yan had separated and temporarily lent to the Pill Tower Ancestor, allowing the Pill Tower Ancestor to unleash a very strong combat power.

Of course, the Pill Tower Ancestor's control over the Heavenly Flames will be weak, and he will easily consume more of his Dou Qi, but at least he no longer has to worry about being restrained by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

The Pill Tower Ancestor has changed several times. The current one is formed from a Ninth Grade Profound Pill. It was Ninth Grade Profound Pill the previous Pill Tower Ancestor barely managed to refine on his deathbed. Finally, the soul of the previous Pill Tower Ancestor merged with the spirituality of the Profound Pill to form the current Pill Tower Ancestor.

In a sense, it's not a problem to call him a person.

As Pills, it is naturally completely restrained by flames and lightning, especially Heavenly Flames.

The Pill Tower Ancestor glanced at Xiao Yan with some surprise. If he were to seize the Heavenly Flames now, Xiao Yan would surely be severely injured. Such trust on their first meeting was quite unexpected.

"Hehehe, the Gu Clan's son-in-law is so generous, why not give me a ball too?" The Soul Clan's guarantor also appeared, none other than the Soul Demon Elder, whose strength was only at the Five-star Late Stage Dou Sheng, but was still inferior to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

In a one-on-one fight, he would definitely be instantly killed.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yan naturally ignored the Soul Clan.

"Since that's the case, then I'll devour you all. A Ninth Grade Profound Pill, a dozen or so Heavenly Flames, and the secret of Fusion Heavenly Flame —that's enough for me to break through the Demon Flame Space..."

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame murmured something, its words filled with murderous intent reaching everyone's ears.

Suddenly, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame shot into the sky, and streaks of milky white fire shot out, eventually covering the entire Demon Flame Space.

The spatial passage previously opened up by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has now been completely closed, leaving everyone with no way out.

"The Heaven Refining Ancient Array, appear!"

As these fire lines shot into the depths of space, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame also let out a loud shout. Instantly, a rumbling sound echoed through the space, and a massive Fire Array tens of thousands of feet tall slowly emerged from the sky.

After the grand formation appeared in the sky, the boundless magma also began to churn. Finally, to everyone's astonishment, Fire Array corresponding to the one in the sky slowly emerged.

"Um?"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's gaze sharpened, and it immediately spotted an area within the Earth Array where array patterns, spanning dozens of feet, were completely shattered.

Compared to the whole, a flaw of a few dozen feet in size is negligible, but the appearance of a flaw gives these enemies in front of us an opportunity.

"That's right, I caused this again." Xiao Yan nodded to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, then snapped his fingers. A ball of flame silently appeared on the flaw, making the already broken array patterns even more shattered.

"Die!"

Having made up its mind, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame held back all its strength and unleashed its deadly attack on Xiao Yan, the guy who had repeatedly ruined its plans.

"The Heaven Refining Great Array is divided into two sides: Heaven and Earth. I will deal with the Heaven Array, and you will resist the Earth Array!" The Pill Tower Ancestor didn't have time to say more and rushed forward in a flash.

However, the Heavenly Flames in his hand did not require any precise operation. With the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame attacking everywhere, the Pill Tower Ancestor only needed to unleash the full power of the Heavenly Flames.

"Continue forming the array!" The Soul Demon Elder cursed under his breath and unleashed a continuous stream of Black Mist at the Earth Array.
