Drawing Lightning to Extinguish the Flames

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, at the Five-star Peak Dou Sheng, combined with the Heaven Refining Ancient Array left behind by the Nether Flame Demon Saint, and the seemingly endless magma within the Demon Flame Space, would leave even Seven Star Dou Sheng with no advantage.

Although the Pill Tower Ancestor was Six-star Dou Sheng, it was by no means easy for him to withstand the Heaven Array alone.

However, with the Heavenly Flames lent by Xiao Yan, they were able to withstand it at this moment.

The milky white flames and Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames confronted each other in mid-air, both unleashing the destructive and violent intent unique to Heavenly Flames, intending to completely overwhelm the other.

But neither of them can do anything about the other.

The Black Mist of the Soul Demon Elder was no different from that made of paper, and was instantly engulfed by the Milky White Flame. Even the Soul Demon Elder himself was forced to retreat repeatedly.

If it weren't for the other Four-star Dou Sheng coming to help, they would probably have been injured in the first round.

The Earth Array that Xiao Yan burned in the formation was constantly absorbing the power accumulated in the Formation and recovering at an extremely rapid speed.

Before long, that flaw will be repaired, and the Heaven and Earth Array will resonate with each other, their power will be even greater.

This is normal. If the Heaven Refining Ancient Array were so easy to destroy, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame would have escaped from the Demon Flame Space long ago. Why would it be trapped until now and even come up with the desperate plan of pretending to be sealed and taken out?

"Xiao Yan, lend me your Heavenly Flames, or I can't hold on!" The Soul Demon Elder said anxiously.

But Xiao Yan ignored him. Besides the Soul Demon Elder, there were seven other Four-star Dou Sheng. If they joined forces to form an array, they would be even stronger than the Pill Tower Ancestor.

The Soul Demon Elder, as the one in charge of the Formation, will be under considerable pressure.

As for the remaining one- to three-star Dou Sheng, and the Half-Saint who haven't even reached Dou Sheng, they are practically useless.

Seeing that Xiao Yan remained unmoved, the Soul Demon Elder cursed under his breath again, but he could not force Xiao Yan to hand over the Heavenly Flames. He could only use the Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Array Formation again.

The pitch-black array was only a few thousand feet in size, not even close to the size of the Heaven Refining Ancient Array. However, with the seven Four-star Dou Sheng infusing their Dou Qi into it, the Soul Demon Elder was barely able to withstand the Earth Array.

Xiao Yan looked at the blurry figure of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. At this moment, it was hidden inside a giant statue thousands of feet tall. The statue was made of milky white flames. The people present had no strength left to resist the Heaven Refining Ancient Array while effectively killing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

"Whether it works or not, let's give it a try..." Xiao Yan calmed his mind and the Heavenly Flames in his body split into six flowers, which then kept moving closer to the center.

As the incredibly violent strange fire drew closer, destructive fluctuations began to emanate from it. This was a deterrent power that surpassed even the self-destruction of a Dou Sheng Fire Slave, and even the Pure Lotus Demon Fire could not underestimate it.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame only ever yielded to Xiao Yan, who possessed multiple Heavenly Flames.

At this moment, sensing the increasingly violent Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yan's hand, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame also seemed to become even more violent. The Heaven and Earth Array continuously spewed out overwhelming milky white waves, and wherever they passed, whether it was the Heavenly Flames driven by the Pill Tower Ancestor or the Formation presided over by the Soul Demon Elder, they were all defeated step by step.

Upon realizing this, the two were not alarmed but rather delighted. The fact that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was so agitated proved that Xiao Yan's actions could indeed pose a threat to him.

"Xiao Yan, hurry up!" the Soul Demon Elder urged, then bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, injecting it into the Formation, which stabilized the constantly compressed Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Array once again.

The other Four-star Dou Sheng also followed suit, generously providing their Essence Blood.

For a time, the Earth Array could no longer pose a threat.

The Pill Tower Ancestor was not to be outdone. He himself was a Ninth Grade Profound Pill, and the fragrance he emitted contained extremely large energy. At this moment, he also forced out some of his "blood," which was a medicinal liquid containing rich and pure energy, and integrated it into the Heavenly Flames. This caused the Heavenly Flames to shine brightly, sweeping up waves of fire and resisting the pressure from the Heaven Array.

"The Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations!"

Xiao Yan also activated the first transformation using the Heavenly Flames within his body, climbing from the Early-stage Three-star Dou Sheng to the early stage of Four-star Dou Sheng. The temperature of the flame in his hand also rose to another level.

"If nine Heavenly Flames were to merge, perhaps I would still be somewhat afraid of you. But you think you can hurt me with just six Heavenly Flames?" The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame roared angrily, and the milky white Demon Flame Colossus instantly became more solid, clearly having incorporated more Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, making its defense even stronger.

Amidst everyone's anticipation and the vigilance of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the six incompatible Heavenly Flames finally merged together slowly but surely.

Xiao Yan was slightly out of breath. This was no longer the Illusion Realm; his Soul Power and Dou Qi were inexhaustible, and he could do whatever he wanted.

The fusion of the six Heavenly Flames had already caused Xiao Yan a great deal of exhaustion.

If this continues for another two or three times at most, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi will likely be completely exhausted, and he won't even be able to maintain the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations.

"Go!"

Xiao Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air, pushed with both hands, and the Heavenly Flames bomb, emitting six alluring halos, silently swept across the space. Wherever it passed, the milky white fire lines broke inch by inch—these fire lines, condensed from the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, did not play the slightest role in blocking the way.

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's expression was solemn. The Demon Flame Colossus clasped its hands together, and its enormous palms moved directly toward the ball of light that exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

Just then, Xiao Yan's Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Wing trembled, and Space Power silently emanated. The distance between the Heavenly Flames orb and the Demon Flame Colossus suddenly shortened, and the giant statue missed its target with both hands. The orb landed directly on the giant statue's chest.

"Boom boom boom!"

The moment the two made contact, the world seemed to fall silent for a moment. Everyone who had been fighting against the Heaven Refining Ancient Array focused their attention on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Then, a blinding flame appeared, and the milky white giant statue melted rapidly. The sound that far surpassed the Flame Slave's self-destruction also reached everyone's ears.

The raging, towering waves of fire remained, but this time, the single milky-white sea of flames transformed into six-colored flames.

Even after it exploded, the aftershocks of the six different colored flames could still cause secondary explosions, unleashing terrifying heat.

The milky-white fire lines that originally filled the Demon Flame Space had been completely devoured by the Heavenly Flames that Xiao Yan had blasted open. Looking around, the Demon Flame Space was dyed a different color by Xiao Yan.

The Heaven Refining Ancient Array, which had been suffocating everyone, finally stopped operating, giving them a chance to catch their breath.

"The Heaven Refining Ancient Array has stopped. Even if the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame wasn't completely erased, it must have suffered at least severe damage, right?" The Soul Demon Elder gasped for breath. The Dou Qi of seven Four-star Dou Sheng was all pressing down on him, and he also had to constantly deal with the Earth Array, which made the Soul Demon Elder feel extremely tired.

"He should be injured, but the Heavenly Flames is different from us. If its origin is not damaged, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can still fight for a long time..." The Pill Tower Ancestor did not relax for a moment.

Unlike the Soul Clan, the Pill Tower Ancestor held an extraordinary sense of awe towards the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

In particular, the passage connecting to the outside world is still unable to be opened.

Xiao Yan had no time to participate in the discussion. He simply chose a scenic spot and began to absorb the churning fire waves in the Demon Flame Space to recover the Dou Qi he had consumed and make sure he could explode one more time.

A few breaths later, a ball of milky white flame shot into the sky, breaking through the remaining Heavenly Flames in one fell swoop, and the white-clad figure of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame slowly walked out.

"I have to admit, you've angered me..."

A deep voice rang out, and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame stared intently at Xiao Yan. His aura did not seem to have weakened much. With a wave of his hand, a vast expanse of milky white fire lines shot out once again, and the previously stagnant Heaven Refining Ancient Array also started operating again.

"How is this possible?!" The Soul Demon Elder looked grim, but he had no choice but to step in.

However, the flaws in the Earth Array have been repaired, and its power is now even greater.

"That move worked; he has become weaker." The Pill Tower Ancestor remained calm and composed, as if nothing could surprise him.

Only then did everyone realize that the energy fluctuations of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame were roughly equivalent to the Five-star Late Stage Dou Sheng, slightly weaker than its initial peak.

If it happens twice more, causing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's combat power to drop to the level of Four-star Dou Sheng, then it will be much easier to deal with.

"Xiao Yan, can you still explode?!" The Soul Demon Elder commanded immediately.

As usual, Xiao Yan ignored him, his gaze fixed intently on the milky-white lines of fire that filled the Demon Flame Space.

Last time, Xiao Yan hadn't noticed, but now that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had activated its fire line for the second time, the Heaven Refining Ancient Array immediately began to operate, allowing Xiao Yan to discover the clues—

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame uses these Milky White Flame to manipulate the Heaven Refining Ancient Array.

While the Heaven Refining Ancient Array is difficult to counter, dealing with these fire lines is much easier.

Xiao Yan then gave the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame an innocent smile, "Oh, Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, I think I've discovered your secret of controlling the Heaven Refining Ancient Array?"

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's hands trembled, almost causing a mishap, which relieved everyone for a moment.

However, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame quickly adjusted its mindset and ignored Xiao Yan.

Even knowing the truth, erasing those densely packed lines of fire would not be an easy task.

Xiao Yan naturally understood this and then fell into deep thought.

Relying solely on Heavenly Flames to erase the fire line is time-consuming, laborious, and yields limited results. While Fusion Heavenly Flame and detonating them would be powerful enough to injure the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and temporarily erase the fire line, it ultimately cannot eradicate the fire completely.

Every move of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was like the might of heaven, almost impossible for human power to stop.

"However, the might of Heaven..."

Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Pill Lightning is also a manifestation of divine might!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan took out an Eighth Grade Pill without hesitation.

High-level Pills can be made in ten days to half a month, which is impossible for most people to persist in for so long. However, the Old Yao has a Spirit Ascension Method the spirituality of Pills, which is specifically designed for Pills that have already been made. It can enhance the spirituality of the pills in a short time and with quick results.

As for why he used Eighth Grade Pill, it was naturally because Xiao Yan was unsure whether the Pill Lightning could cover this Demon Flame Space.

"What are you doing?!" The Soul Demon Elder initially thought Xiao Yan was taking out Pills to recover from his exhaustion, but upon closer inspection, he realized Xiao Yan was actually refining medicine?!

"Use the Pill Lightning to extinguish the fire," Xiao Yan said calmly.

During the conversation, the Spirit Ascension was completed. A small, dark cloud suddenly appeared in this world filled with fire-attribute energy, flashing with five-colored lightning. It did not cause any ripples and was purified by the omnipresent fire lines.

However, this also shows that refining medicine in the Demon Flame Space can attract Pill Lightning.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yan took out a Ninth-grade Treasure Pill for healing, the Sheng Sheng Creation Pill.

The Pill Tower Ancestor immediately understood what Xiao Yan wanted to do, and promptly forced out another ball of medicinal liquid, shooting it towards Xiao Yan.

Without wasting words, Xiao Yan reached out and threw the Sheng Sheng Creation Pill and the "Essence Blood" of the Pill Tower Ancestor into the Ancient Cauldron.

The Soul Power transformed into sharp spikes, mercilessly piercing into the Sheng Sheng Creation Pill. The spiritual essence within flowed out through the wounds caused by the spikes, and the originally round Pills instantly became shriveled.

Xiao Yan's hand Seal Technique changed rapidly, his Soul Power surged, and the original spirituality of the Pills, its vast Spiritual Qi, and the medicinal liquid exuding a rich fragrance all flowed back through the wound of the Pills.

The Pill Tower Ancestor has cultivated for over a thousand years, and his essence is among the best of the Ninth Grade Profound Pill.

At this moment, using such essence as a guide, the Sheng Sheng Creation Pill began to advance to the Ninth Grade Profound Pill with almost no effort.

An incredibly powerful suction force emerged from the Ancient Cauldron. This was a power that surpassed even the Heavenly Grade Cultivation Method. The dense fire-attribute energy in the world surged towards the Ancient Cauldron without any resistance, forming an energy vortex.

Even the ubiquitous milky-white flames were slightly affected, with some of them being swallowed by the Ancient Cauldron and, after being refined by Xiao Yan, incorporated into the Pills.

"Xiao Yan!" The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame naturally sensed the distortion of the fire line, and its control over the Heaven Refining Ancient Array weakened further, allowing the Pill Tower Ancestor and the Soul Demon Elder to hold out for longer.

Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't ignore the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame like he did with the Soul Demon Elder; instead, he responded with a genuine smile.

As the Pills's spiritual energy grew stronger, pitch-black clouds churned and appeared, and streaks of Black Demonic Lightning, familiar to Xiao Yan, emerged from nowhere, ready to strike and destroy the Pills that was attempting to advance.

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could no longer sit still. Even if it meant relaxing its suppression of the others, it was determined to attack Xiao Yan.

Meanwhile, the powerful individuals below the level of Four-star Dou Sheng, who had previously been largely ineffective, suddenly became incredibly brave and stepped forward to block the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

"The Pills will take a while to arrive, but..."

Xiao Yan squinted. After the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire devoured the Black Demonic Lightning and evolved, it gained a certain ability to control the Black Demonic Lightning.

"Boom!"

Before Xiao Yan could make any move, a bolt of Black Demonic Lightning struck the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame with lightning speed.

But the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame merely trembled slightly, barely affected; only the broken fire lines along its path revealed the power of the Black Demonic Lightning.

"Shatter the demonic fire with thunder!"

Xiao Yan shouted loudly, and before the Pills could even take shape, a torrent of Black Demonic Lightning poured down from the sky, shattering the fire lines wherever it passed!
