"Despicable and shameless!"
Falling from the sky, Xiao Xuan thought for a long time before uttering these four words. Apart from despicable and shameless, Xiao Xuan really couldn't find any other words to describe Huo Xuan, who actually resorted to such a vile tactic as a sneak attack from behind!
"Thank you for the compliment!"
For Huo Xuan, the purpose of this trip was simply to refine Xiao Xuan's remnant soul. As long as he could achieve his goal, the process was just a little despicable, which was of no consequence to him.
Xiao Xuan already knew the goal of this group of juniors, but he naturally wouldn't accept his fate so easily. He struggled to his feet, his posture suggesting he was prepared to continue his desperate struggle...
"Brother Xiao, I'm so sorry!"
Seeing that Yan Jin Xiao Xuan was preparing for a desperate fight, Yan Jin flashed down from the sky and waved his hand, sending a Golden Red Flame straight at Xiao Xuan!
Yan Jin still felt somewhat reluctant to take action against Xiao Xuan, but there was nothing he could do. Huo Xuan had offended Xiao Xuan, and if Xiao Xuan were alive, he would still be the overlord of the Heavenly Tomb. In the future, Flame Clan who entered the Heavenly Tomb would inevitably face his revenge.
Since we've already offended them, let's offend them to the death!
Xiao Xuan was already injured from forcibly leaving the Tomb Estate, and his battle with Yan Jin, coupled with the Huo Xuan, had left him severely wounded and at his limit. Continuing to fight Yan Jin, he collapsed after only a few rounds due to his weakened state.
Upon seeing Xiao Xuan fall, Huo Xuan immediately stepped forward and formed a series of strange hand seals. Instantly, dazzling rays of light appeared from the ground. Countless rays of light spread outwards from Xiao Xuan as the center, eventually forming a large array!
This was the Soul Refining Grand Array he had set up to deal with Xiao Xuan!
With his hands forming a hand seal, the eight different kinds of Strange Fire he had refined, along with the three Strange Fire he had temporarily borrowed, totaling eleven, floated out from Huo Xuan's body. The flames surrounded Xiao Xuan, forming eleven fire curtains of different colors. Enveloped in the flames, Xiao Xuan at this moment seemed like a fire emperor!
"Soul Refining Grand Array! Refine it for me!"
As the cold words fell, the Soul Refining Grand Array began to operate, and dazzling flames condensed into a huge cauldron, sealing Xiao Xuan inside!
The raging fire continued to burn Xiao Xuan!
After being refined by the Soul Refining Grand Array, Xiao Xuan will gradually lose consciousness and eventually be completely annihilated, leaving only the pure Soul Origin!
"Eight Desolations Destruction Flame, Three Thousand Burning Flame, Bone Chilling Flame, Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame..."
Yao Tian stared in astonishment at the eleven Strange Fire within the great formation, his eyes filled with shock. Apart from the three Strange Fire he had temporarily borrowed, Huo Xuan actually possessed eight different Strange Fire!
As a major clan specializing in alchemy, the Medicine Clan, led by a pharmacist named Huo Xuan, was extremely familiar with flames, especially Strange Fire. For thousands of years, the Medicine Clan had only possessed two kinds of Strange Fire. However, Huo Xuan alone now possessed four times the total number of Strange Fire the entire Medicine Clan. It was inevitable to be somewhat shocked to see someone who could control such a large number of Strange Fire for the first time.
"How is this possible? How could he absorb so much Strange Fire!"
Lei Dong said with an incredulous expression.
This was beyond his comprehension.
Although he was not an alchemist, he understood that, under normal circumstances, a person could only refine one type of Strange Fire, which was common knowledge on the continent.
Strange Fire are rare and hard to come by. Some people spend their entire lives without ever encountering one, while others are fortunate enough to subdue Strange Fire, which is a great blessing. However, once one attempts to absorb a second Strange Fire, the two can never perfectly fuse. The energy of the erupting Strange Fire can cause extremely serious damage to the body at best, and at worst, the person will perish on the spot under the terrifying power of the erupting Strange Fire.
In his memory, among all the people on the continent who were able to successfully fuse multiple Strange Fire, Xiao Xuan was one, Yan Jin was one, and Huo Xuan was the third. However, Huo Xuan's achievements clearly surpassed the previous two. He fused so many Strange Fire and was still completely unharmed.
"You've got some skill; refining me, Xiao Xuan, won't be an easy task!"
Within the grand formation, Xiao Xuan naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for death. Powerful energy surged from his body, crashing violently into the fire cauldron that enveloped him, forcefully breaking a gap in the cauldron. However, Huo Xuan knew that Xiao Xuan couldn't possibly have the strength to resist; this was merely a last gasp before death. With a change in his hand seals, the flames began to writhe strangely, and the gap was quickly filled.
"Come help!"
Huo Xuan shouted at Yao Tian and Lei Dong, who were watching the show not far away.
Yao Tian and Lei Dong snapped out of their shock and looked at Xiao Xuan, who was already suppressed by the Soul Refining Grand Array. The two exchanged a glance and then dashed off in the direction of Huo Xuan!
The Soul Refining Grand Array had specially designated positions for them. Yao Tian and he were responsible for controlling the Strange Fire to accelerate the refining process, Lei Dong was responsible for restraining Xiao Xuan. With a clear division of labor, the three of them worked together to resolve the matter as quickly as possible!
Yao Tian and Lei Dong arrived at the designated spot for them. Huo Xuan immediately severed his connection with the Nine Nether Wind Flame and the Turtle Spirit Earth Flame, handing over control of the two Strange Fire to Yao Tian. Yao Tian quickly located the Nine Nether Wind Flame and the Turtle Spirit Earth Flame Strange Fire the great formation and swiftly took control of them.
The Soul Refining Grand Array relies on Strange Fire to accelerate soul refining. The more Strange Fire, the better. However, Huo Xuan clearly felt somewhat overwhelmed trying to control eleven Strange Fire by himself. After handing over control of the two Strange Fire, Huo Xuan immediately felt much more relaxed.
After Yao Tian took control of the two Strange Fire, he began to work with Huo Xuan to refine the soul. Lei Dong also started to activate the Killing Array hidden in the Soul Refining Grand Array. This Killing Array was created by the Lei Clan, and it was the best choice to give it to him, a member of the Lei Clan, to use.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Killing Array was activated, dark clouds gathered, heavy thunder rumbled, and silver lightning was brewing within it. Under Lei Dong's control, the fully brewed lightning, like silver snakes, tore through the sky and swooped down from the heavens, crashing towards Xiao Xuan in the formation!
"Shameless scoundrel!"
After scattering a bolt of lightning, Xiao Xuan looked at the approaching thunder in the sky and gritted his teeth.
One after another, bolts of lightning, like silver snakes, struck Xiao Xuan. The Killing Array was clearly successful; it successfully restrained and weakened Xiao Xuan appropriately. Seeing this, Huo Xuan and Yao Tian accelerated their soul refining speed.
Time flew by, and Huo Xuan's Dou Qi began to show signs of depletion. Fortunately, Huo Xuan was very well prepared for this operation. When his Dou Qi was exhausted, Huo Xuan quickly took out an Eighth Grade Pill from his Storage Ring and put it into his mouth.
The restorative effect of the Eighth Grade Pill was terrifying; in just a moment, half of Huo Xuan's Dou Qi was restored.
The refining process is far from over!
Huo Xuan glanced at Xiao Xuan, who was struggling and resisting in the great formation, and a smile appeared on his face. His eyes were full of fervor. He had been planning for years, and today he finally got his wish. No matter what, he would refine it into the Soul Origin!
Controlling the grand formation requires an enormous amount of Dou Qi. At this moment, Yao Tian and Lei Dong's Dou Qi was almost exhausted, so they each took out a recovery pill and put it in their mouths.
During the soul refining process, the remnant soul of Yan Jin quietly guarded them, and everyone also quietly controlled the great formation. Refining Xiao Xuan was a huge project. During this period, their battle Dou Qi was depleted at least six times. However, fortunately, they had a sufficient reserve of pills and a large number of recovery pills to support them, so the consumed Dou Qi could be restored quickly.
However, elixirs are ultimately external substances, and relying on them for recovery can easily lead to dependence. If consumed continuously for a long time, the body's own ability to recover its Dou Qi will gradually diminish, and eventually, this ability may disappear completely...
After all, every medicine has its side effects, and they all understood that. But they had no choice; Xiao Xuan wouldn't obediently wait for them to recover their Dou Qi. It was better to end the Soul Refining operation as soon as possible...
As time passed quickly, Xiao Xuan's resistance began to weaken. Seeing this, everyone swallowed another Eighth Grade Pill to gradually restore their condition to its peak. After their hearts calmed down, they prepared to make a final push and completely settle things with Xiao Xuan!
Time continued to move forward, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Xiao Xuan's remnant soul within the great formation turned into specks of white light and dissipated into the sky, leaving only a transparent ball of light floating uncertainly within the great formation.
Although the ball of light was small, the energy it contained was extremely terrifying. Within the transparent ball of light, a powerful Soul Power surged, vast and boundless.
