Demon Fire Descends!
Overnight, the entire Central Plains was thrown into turmoil!
"Call out!"
Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound arose in the sky, and three figures flew in from the distant horizon.
"We're almost within a thousand miles of the Demon Fire Descends..." Huo Yao raised his head, gazing at the distant horizon. Blinding light, like the blazing sun, continuously emanated from the area. As they drew closer, waves of terrifying heat also came rushing towards them.
"As expected of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, even the residual heat it releases is so terrifying..."
The terrifying heat waves that came towards them caused a slight burning sensation on their skin, and Huo Zhi also praised the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
Along the way, Huo Xuan and his group encountered many teams with the same goal, but they didn't take them too seriously. Although those guys were strong, they were still too weak to snatch the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
"Little guys, hurry up..."
For Huo Xuan and his group, the journey of a thousand miles was only a matter of minutes. About twenty minutes later, Huo Xuan and his group finally arrived at the towering mountains where the Demon Fire Descends.
Demon Flame Plains!
Demon Flame Plains.
The once lush mountain range has vanished without a trace, replaced by a milky-white desert. A terrifying heat rises from the desert, distorting the space within thousands of miles.
"What terrifying Purifying Lotus Demon Flame! It actually burned such a massive mountain range into a desert..."
Looking at the vast desert that appeared before his eyes, Huo Xuan couldn't help but gasp, his face full of shock.
Looking at the distant sky, where the space had been shattered, milky white light poured out from the cracked space, and within that light was a terrifying temperature that even the soul could not bear.
"The space that sealed the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame has shattered, but the demon flame hasn't emerged. It must be still within that space. These milky-white lights are merely its residual heat..."
Huo Yao explained.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Shortly after Huo Xuan and his group appeared above the desert, the sound of wind breaking came from all directions. Figures stopped far from the ruptured space, their eyes filled with awe as they gazed at the milky-white desert. They all knew that before tonight, this place had been a vibrant, thriving mountain range...
"Laugh..."
A moment later, the space suddenly rippled, and then a thick black mist seeped out from it, spreading out with a terrifying aura that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying. It immediately drew the attention of everyone in the world.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, all gazes turned to the place where the black mist had emerged. After a moment, the black mist slowly dissipated, and three figures slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
Three figures slowly emerged from the black mist. One of them, clad in a black robe, had an unremarkable face, appearing utterly ordinary. His hands, which had slipped from his sleeves, were also somewhat rough. Yet, this seemingly ordinary figure caused the vast majority of those present to hold their breath, their eyes filled with solemnity and apprehension...
Soul Hall Master, Hun Miesheng!
Unlike the others, Huo Xuan didn't pay attention to Hun Miesheng. Instead, he focused his gaze on the youngest of the three, a man with black eyes.
This person is named Hun Feng. Hun Feng possesses astonishing talent and also has the God Grade Bloodline of the Hun Clan. People in the Hun Clan call him a madman. Compared to Hun Yu back then, he is far more powerful.
According to the information obtained, barring any major unforeseen circumstances, he should be the next patriarch of the Hun Clan...
Hun Feng also turned his gaze to Huo Xuan, but after a moment, he looked away.
"The Flame Clan... a formidable opponent..."
"Heh, Huo Xuan, so you're here to join in the fun too..."
A familiar voice suddenly came from the distant horizon, followed by the sound of wind breaking through the air. Faintly, there was a medicinal fragrance in the sound of wind breaking through the air. Three figures appeared beside him as fast as lightning.
Three figures: a man, a woman, and an old man. The man was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a handsome face that even exuded a hint of effeminacy. His lips were thin, revealing a touch of coldness and meanness. The woman beside him had long, azure hair and delicate features, but she was as cold as ice, giving off the feeling of an ice queen. As for the last old man, he was dressed in a set of alchemist's robes, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, his eyes slightly narrowed, and occasionally a sharp glint would flash across them.
"What? Does the Yao Tian allow your Medicine Clan to come, but not our Flame Clan?"
"You're still the same as always, kind of annoying..."
"Same to you."
While Huo Xuan and Yao Tian aren't exactly sworn brothers, they are still very good friends. Of course, when they meet, they can't help but tease each other a bit.
"Huo Xuan, you really are something else. In just three short years, you've already reached the Dou Sheng level..."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yao Tian also noticed Huo Xuan's current strength and immediately praised him.
"Hehe, aren't you already Dou Sheng?" Huo Xuan smiled slightly. He had naturally noticed that Yao Tian was now also a Dou Sheng. The speed of his advancement was indeed quite ferocious!
"This is also thanks to the help of Ten Thousand Fires Elder of my clan."
Yao Tian was able to break through to the Dou Sheng in a short period of time, and a large part of the credit went to Yao Wanhua.
As a Ninth Grade Alchemist, Yao Wanhua refined a Ninth Grade Pill for Yao Tian, which was almost a precious pill that could have become Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill. That Ninth Grade Pill successfully helped Yao Tian break through to the Dou Sheng.
As time went by, the people of the Gu Clan arrived late. Leading the group was Gu Nanhai, Gu Clan Elder who was also Four-Star Dou Sheng. In addition, there was also the young lady Gu Xun'er.
"Gu Xun'er, I didn't expect her to have also reached the Dou Sheng?!"
Huo Zhi said with some surprise.
Huo Zhi was quite surprised that Gu Xun'er was able to advance to the Dou Sheng. She possessed the Bodhi Heart, which enabled her to break through to the Dou Sheng within three years.
Yao Tian succeeded by consuming Ninth Grade Pill that was about to become a Xuan Dan.
Could it be that Gu Xun'er also has some great opportunity?
"Cough cough..."
At this moment, Gu Xun'er suddenly started coughing, and with each violent cough, a mouthful of blood was coughed up from her mouth.
Fortunately, when she coughed earlier, Gu Xun'er had deliberately covered her mouth with her hand, so the blood she coughed up onto her palm was not noticed by anyone except Gu Nanhai who was beside her.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Gu Nanhai asked with great concern.
"Ahem, Nanhai Elder, don't worry, it's nothing..."
Gu Xun'er waved her hand, and before she could finish speaking, she coughed violently twice more.
"Cough cough..."
Gu Xun'er quickly took out a pill from her Storage Ring and swallowed it, which made her feel a little better.
"Sigh... Miss, why were you so eager to break through to the Dou Sheng in the first place..."
Gu Nanhai sighed and said with some heartache.
"Nanhai Elder, it's not like it can't be cured, so don't worry."
Huo Xuan was in the distance, had been observing Gu Xun'er's every move. After a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up and a smile appeared on his face.
"All show and no substance! Awesome but useless!"
"Huh? Huo Xuan, Brother, what did you say?"
Huo Zhi asked curiously.
"I said Gu Xun'er is just a pretty face, all show and no substance, good to look at but useless."
Huo Xuan said with great disdain.
"That little girl from the Gu Clan has quite a few hidden injuries, which are probably left over from when she was trying to break through to the Dou Sheng realm." At this moment, Huo Yao also spoke up, "Although she has reached the Dou Sheng realm, she does not have the power of Dou Sheng."
"I estimate that Gu Xun'er's true strength is somewhere between Advanced Half-Saint and One-Star Dou Sheng. She could defeat Advanced Half-Saint, but she could never defeat One-Star Dou Sheng."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yao nodded. Huo Xuan's analysis was accurate, and he shared the same thought.
"If my injuries worsen again while fighting for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, I fear I will soon die!"
