(Fifty-One) Leave or Stay
To deal with the true form of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the Black Demonic Lightning is utterly inadequate. Only the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, summoned by refining Ninth Grade Golden Pill, can overwhelm the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame with its world-destroying power.
However, the Black Demonic Lightning's elimination of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's Subordinate Flame and its severing of the overwhelming milky-white fire lines within the Demon Flame Space were perfectly timed.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Black Demonic Lightning was incredibly fast. In an instant, the area within thousands of feet was filled with pitch-black lightning and milky-white flames. The two extremely violent forces intertwined and continuously emitted deafening sounds.
Correspondingly, the operation of the Heaven Refining Ancient Array became sluggish and slow, and the power of the fire waves it unleashed gradually diminished, eventually returning to its original state of silence.
Just like it has been for thousands of years, sealing and suppressing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
With the pressure greatly reduced, the Soul Demon Elder immediately reversed the direction of the Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Array, and a jet-black beam of light shot towards the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame:
"Those of you who are not strong enough, now take over and hold off the Heaven Refining Ancient Array!"
Having finally achieved a remarkable victory, the remaining Dou Sheng Expert were unwilling to let the opportunity slip away, so they split into two groups and each held off the Heaven and Earth Array.
"Do you think that without the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, I would be at the mercy of others?"
Enraged, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame laughed, its once handsome face now completely distorted. With a swift movement, it unleashed another burst of Milky White Flame, like a shooting star.
The ball of flame swelled in the wind. Initially only the size of a human head, it expanded to thousands of feet by the time it met the dark pillar of light, standing shoulder to shoulder with it and not at all at a disadvantage.
The Soul Demon Elder, a Five-star Late Stage Dou Sheng, combined the power of seven Late-stage Four-star Dou Sheng and had the assistance of Formation, yet he was only on par with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!
"Cough cough..."
Seeing this, the Pill Tower Ancestor disregarded the losses incurred and refined some more "Essence Blood," spraying it towards the milky-white meteor of flame.
"Pill Integration Heaven!"
This is a power completely different from activating Heavenly Flames. The Pill Tower Ancestor's true form is Ninth Grade Profound Pill, and what he fears most is fire and lightning, especially Heavenly Flames Pill Lightning. However, after a long period of cultivation, the Pill Tower Ancestor actually comprehended a new method that can dissolve Heavenly Flames and Pill Lightning.
The fragrant medicinal liquid landed directly on the meteor flames. The now ferocious Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was no different from an ordinary flame in front of this medicinal liquid and was directly extinguished.
Without the meteor flames to block it, the jet-black beam of light shot into the sky and landed on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, completely enveloping its surroundings.
This sealing made the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame truly feel the danger.
The Soul Demon Elder is Soul Clan. The Soul Clan has a famous Nihility Devouring Flame at the level of Nine-star Dou Sheng. If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame falls into the hands of the Soul Clan, it will be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone forever.
"Boom!"
Then, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame exploded.
At this moment, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could no longer maintain its human form. Its white robes transformed into Milky White Flame, which exploded, causing the dark pillar of light to tremble violently.
A milky-white lotus flower covered with pink veins then appeared in everyone's view.
A series of milky-white halos, faintly revealing a hint of pink, continued to spread and collide with the dark pillar of light. No matter how hard the Soul Demon Elder tried, he could not shrink the dark pillar of light and completely seal the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
The two sides reached a stalemate again.
The Pill Tower Ancestor glanced at it indifferently and did not continue to interfere. He simply said, "Why force it so hard? If the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is at its end, even if it does not detonate its source, the power it has accumulated over the years will be something you cannot withstand."
After saying that, the Pill Tower Ancestor ignored what everyone thought, mobilized the Space Power, opened a spatial passage, and stood guard beside Xiao Yan.
Now that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is too busy to manipulate the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, Xiao Yan doesn't need to control the sky full of Black Demonic Lightning, but the Spirit Ascension of the Pills continues.
Ninth Grade Profound Pill has not appeared for over a thousand years, and the Pill Tower Ancestor hopes to see a new Ninth Grade Profound Pill appear in the world.
At the same time, if the Ninth Grade Profound Pill were to actually appear, it would be quite attractive to the many Dou Sheng present.
As Six-star Dou Sheng, the Pill Tower Ancestor can also serve as a deterrent.
The trapped Dou Sheng looked at the stalemate between the Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Array and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and then at the Pill Tower Ancestor guarding Xiao Yan. They wanted to retreat, but were unwilling to leave empty-handed.
"The Demon Flame Space is incredibly stable. I only managed to open the spatial passage by taking advantage of the weakening effect of the Heaven and Earth Tides Demon Flame Space. Once the Heaven and Earth Tides ends, the spatial passage will close again, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to," said the Pill Tower Ancestor at the opportune moment.
Upon hearing this, no matter how unwilling everyone was, they could only leave one by one through the spatial passage opened up by the Pill Tower Ancestor.
"Thank you, senior." Xiao Yan nodded to the Pill Tower Ancestor, his hand Seal Technique changed again, and the Pills in the Ancient Cauldron returned to their round shape, emitting an almost tangible fragrance that condensed into light green pill Pill Rain in the air and fell down.
"It's alright." The Pill Tower Ancestor waved his hand and returned Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames.
Xiao Yan took a breath, not opening the Ancient Cauldron, letting it suppress Spirit Ascension completed Ancient Cauldron -Ninth Grade Profound Pill, storing it in his Storage Ring. He then soared into the sky, disappearing into the thunderclouds, recklessly devouring the Black Demonic Lightning to replenish his energy.
He rescued Xiao Chen, performed the Exotic Flame Fusion, refined Ninth Grade Profound Pill, and commanded the Black Demonic Lightning, which depleted most of Xiao Yan's fighting Dou Qi.
"Soul Demon Elder, do you still want to persist?" asked the Pill Tower Ancestor.
In fact, the Pill Tower Ancestor didn't care whether the Soul Demon Elder was alive or dead. However, there were six other Dou Sheng were not from the Soul Clan who supported the Heavenly Net Demon Sealing Array, and they were innocent.
If they retreat directly, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame will lose its restraint, which is definitely not a good thing.
The Soul Demon Elder gritted his teeth. The Soul Clan's arrangements were all based on the experience from the last time, and they had been collecting the Tou She Ancient God Jade for the past few years. If they failed this time, the Soul Clan would have one less chance of winning.
However, being able to smuggle out information about Xiao Yan would atone for his mistake.
Having made up his mind, the Soul Demon Elder no longer hesitated and immediately shouted, "Go!"
Immediately, the Soul Demon Elder ignored the other Dou Sheng and even disregarded Hun Miesheng. In a flash, he rushed towards the spatial passage.
Without the main force, cracks appeared on the dark pillar of light. The others, no longer able to curse the Soul Demon Elder, retreated one by one.
"Aren't you leaving?" Pill Tower Ancestor asked, glancing sideways at Xiao Yan.
At this moment, Xiao Yan had already swallowed a thundercloud, Dou Qi had recovered considerably, but the Soul Power he had consumed was difficult to replenish.
"I've already refined a Ninth Grade Profound Pill, wouldn't it be a shame not to touch the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
