Demon Flame Plains.
In the distance, at the ruptured space, milky white light poured down continuously like liquid, and the desert below had turned into a milky white magma, with occasional bubbles rolling out and bursts of extremely hot air.
At this moment, everyone was on high alert, and all of them turned their gazes toward the shattered space in the distance.
"Boom!"
This waiting continued for about three more hours. The crack in the broken space expanded from a few feet to tens of feet, and strange sounds could be faintly heard coming from it.
The expansion of the shattered space finally came to a slow halt when it reached a range of nearly a hundred feet. Faintly, a milky-white halo formed at the point of the shattered space...
The instant the halo formed, all the powerful figures present suddenly opened their eyes. They could sense that the temperature in this world had increased nearly a hundredfold in that instant!
At that moment, without warning, a series of rapid whooshing sounds came from all around. One after another, powerful figures with long auras rushed from afar like lightning, crashing directly into the milky white light circle amidst the whooshing sounds.
A small number of powerful individuals did not rush to set off. The Demon Flame Space was fraught with danger, so it was a good opportunity to send those cannon fodder to scout ahead.
"Nanhai Elder, let's set off!"
Seeing that it was almost done, Gu Xun'er said softly.
"Um."
The Gu Nanhai responded.
He grabbed Gu Xun'er and transformed into two streaks of light, swiftly plunging into the Demon Flame Space.
"The Gu Clan have already set off, little ones, it's time for us to go too." Seeing this, Huo Yao reminded them.
"Hehe, Huo Xuan, we'll be heading out now!"
"I can hear you! "Yao Tian said loudly. Then he took Yao Ling's hand, and led by Yao Wangui, they moved quickly and flew towards the milky white light circle.
"Let's set off too..."
"Little ones, be careful, and get going!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yao didn't waste any more words. With a flick of his sleeve, he took the lead and transformed into a streak of light, flashing into the milky white light circle. Behind him, Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi followed closely behind.
"The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can be drawn from a person's emotions, causing it to be born from within the body. Once the demon flame appears within, even the soul will be burned to nothingness. Therefore, once you enter that space, no matter what you see, try your best to maintain a calm state of mind, neither elated nor saddened by external gains. Control any emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, or resentment, otherwise, these emotions will attract the demon flame to your body!"
Huo Yao reminded him with an extremely solemn expression.
"We understand."
The moment his body swept into the circle of light, the light suddenly intensified, and after a slight blur before his eyes, Huo Xuan realized that the surrounding space had changed.
"Is this the space where the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is sealed? Where are the others?"
Looking around at the empty surroundings, Huo Xuan frowned slightly. He, Huo Zhi, Elder Huo Yao, and the members of the Medicine Clan should have entered this space together, but he was the only one here...
The surroundings were a vast expanse of white, with many milky white flames wandering aimlessly. Although these flames were not the true form of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, they were still not to be underestimated.
Huo Xuan circulated the Strange Fire within his body, and flames burst forth from within, quickly enveloping him and isolating him from the surrounding milky white flames. The Demon Flame Space appeared calm on the surface, but it concealed deadly dangers. It was always better to be cautious.
"Huo Xuan!"
Just as Huo Xuan was about to search for the lost group in this space, a cold, angry shout came from behind. Instinctively, Huo Xuan turned around and saw a familiar figure standing not far away.
"Gu Xun'er!"
"Blood Debt Repaid!" Gu Xun'er's face was contorted with rage as she slowly spat out the cold words, "Huo Xuan, you killed Brother Xiao Yan. Today, I will use your family to atone for Brother Xiao Yan's death!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xun'er drew a sharp blade. Huo Xuan suddenly noticed that a spatial rift had appeared, and in the Yan World, some people he cared about were emerging from the rift one by one.
They were all bound hand and foot, Gu Xun'er raised a sharp blade, ready to kill them!
Just as Huo Xuan was about to save the person, he suddenly sensed something was wrong...
Next, no matter how cruelly Gu Xun'er tortured each person, Huo Xuan remained unmoved.
"Hehe, Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, thanks for the reminder..."
Upon seeing this scene, Huo Xuan noticed something strange. He quickly realized that this was an illusion created by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame using human emotions as a trigger!
Suddenly, streams of milky-white flames burst forth from countless pores on his body, the terrifying flames raging wildly within him.
Ignoring Gu Xun'er before him, Huo Xuan's hand seals rapidly changed, and the Strange Fire within his body surged forth, then wildly spread to every part of his body. Moments later, milky-white flames gradually emerged from his body...
Once all the flames were forced out of his body, the surroundings changed again. A milky white mist, covering an area of about several tens of feet, gradually appeared in his field of vision. Within this mist, nearly a dozen people with different expressions were rapidly flying around in place. Some of them were even engulfed by the milky white flames. Finally, with a series of shrill screams, they turned into ashes.
With a quick glance through the milky white mist, Huo Xuan soon found the lost group.
They were all not far ahead, but at this moment, they were in pain. On the surface of their bodies, milky white flames were faintly appearing, which was clearly a sign that the demonic fire had begun to burn!
Just as Huo Xuan was about to make a rescue, the burning demonic flames gradually detached from their bodies, indicating that they had also realized something was wrong.
"It seems there's no need to intervene..."
As time passed and the flames gradually left their bodies, the group slowly awoke from the illusion, freed from the influence of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
Huo Xuan scanned the surroundings carefully again, but unfortunately, he did not find Gu Xun'er. She must be in another area.
"You're lucky to be alive!"
"Something's not right with this fog..." Huo Yao gazed at the milky-white mist around him, pondered for a moment, and then said incredulously, "Nightmare Mist!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Wangui couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"I didn't expect that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame could already release Nightmare Mist. It seems that its strength has greatly improved in the past thousand years..."
Nightmare Mist is the unique skill of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint. It is said that the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint once used this move to shroud a city, making the people in the city feel as if they had lived in it for hundreds of years. Only after the mist dissipated did they realize that the hundred years of experience were just a dream.
"It is said that a thousand years ago, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was unable to unleash this move, but I didn't expect it to be this time... It seems that this journey is indeed dangerous."
Seeing the increasingly dense milky-white mist around them, everyone was shocked and quickly set off, rushing out of the mist.
Just as everyone emerged from the mist, they saw a huge platform floating in mid-air not far ahead, with a Giant Gate standing at the end of the platform.
Looking at the tightly closed Giant Gate, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was hiding inside!
The Ancient Eight Clans all came here, attempting to subdue the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. According to their ancestors, one only needs to follow the path behind the Giant Gate to find the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. However, there will inevitably be many obstacles beyond that Giant Gate; to see the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, one must overcome them...
No one acted rashly. As time passed, wave after wave of people braved the Nightmare Mist and arrived here...
As more and more people broke through the Nightmare Mist, at a certain moment, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated violently, and a terrifying temperature slowly spread from all around.
Boom! Boom!
As the space became increasingly distorted, cracks suddenly appeared. From these cracks, waves of milky-white flames surged forth. Then, figures covered in milky-white flames surged out of the cracks like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the sky outside the plaza was filled with these fiery figures.
These figures, their bodies wreathed in flames, gripped Flame Spear tightly in their hands, their emotionless eyes fixed on the crowd before them.
Fire Slave!
